Tlie state election last Wednes¬ day was a remarkable one in Geor¬ gia, in that there w as no opposition to the state ticket. The question of the governorship was settled in the primarh The result of the contest jn the primary elections made it evident that it would lie useless to nominate a candidate against lien. Gordon. There being only one stfttg jickpt, there was very little interest in tlie election, except in 11 few counties where there were rival legislative candidates, and there was a light vote polled all over the state. In Sumter county Hon. William Havykes was elected to the senate mid Wright Brady and K. G. Sim¬ mons to the lower house. There was no opposition to the regular picket. The vote was small. The l otion ( roll. We are now' in the midst of the cotton picking season, which is the busiest season of the year. The fleecy staple is being rapidly gath¬ ered and, ow ing to the very dry Weather, is making a tine sample and commands a fair price. Cotton, this season, is at least twenty days later than common. This is due to tiie fact that we had too much rain during the spring and summer which checked the growth of tlie cotton at a time when it should have been doing its best, thus causing a short crop as vveil as a late one. Many fields in this sec¬ tion. that were planted late in the spring, were kept back by the sum¬ mer rains until it was too late for them to take on more than half a prop. Our farmers, however, are not discouraged 011 account of the short cotton crop, for they are making plenty of corn, find their prospect for bacon is very good. Tliev are beginning to realize that their success depends upon .tlie raising of corn and bacon at home and not relying e tirely on tlie cotton crop to furnish all tlie qeees- $aries of life. A now era has dawned upon 11 s. We have been forced through the low price of cotton to raise our own supplies at home and not depend upon the west for them, which after ail lias proved to lie a Blessing to us. Our farmers are beginning to re alize that there is no money in cotton, except as a surplus crop; that after raising at home enough supplies to run them, then ail the cotton they make will be clear, after paying the expense of producing it. Tlie ( rice for picking cotton is at least thirty per cent less than it v;as last year. This will curtail the expenses of the cotton crop but will not injure the laborer. Goods aye so cheap that he can hoy as much, if not more, with the price now re¬ ceived for a day’s work than he could when labor commanded a Letter price.
