The <’ons,l Outlook.
While Mr. Grady is not ltolhering
himself a great deal just now about go
ing tp Congres-. (juke a number of pa
pers are endeavoring to big him into
the field, spoculativoly, of course. This
effort on the part of the press is having
a most iiiiquicting effect on the
nerves of .Judge Stewart. In this
young aspirant the Judge sees, rising
liefore his patriotic vision, a man whom
he thinks will, in all piobabilitv, not
permit him “to homestead” on the of
fice.
It is well known that Judge Stew ,
art has made a good member of Con |
gross, and has dune all in his power to
better the condition of Ids constituents,
for all of which he has been pretty
well paid in dollars and cents.
It must he remembered in the con
gressional race of four years ago, wlicfl
Judge Stewart ran against Col. Nat
Hammond, he urged that Hammond
had held the office long enough. To
use hisown words, he did not think any
one had a right --to homestead on an
office.” It seems now, from the ener
getic manner in which the Judge is
circulating a certain editorial from the
Barnesvile dm lie, thathe has chang
ed his mind, lia sets great store bv the
wise remarks of the Uaictte article.
The public is inclined to inquire who
prompted the writing of that article.
From certain e-r marks, it does not
appear that it would be a very difficult
matter to trace it to a source—to the
otic who has the greatest iuteicst at
stake.
As we. have before stated, it makes
but little difference whether Judge
Stewart steps down and out or whether
lit; is determined to make the race, if
Henry Grady does tun, (and a better
thing could not happen forGeoigat) he
will lie the next Congressman. In him
we recognize the giant strength of
Tombs, the fiery eloquence of Hill, and
the popularity of Stephens. With
Grady in Congress Georgia would
have a leader who would rival Clav,
Calhoun or Webster. The people
know “these virtues to he in him as
well as they know his outward favor;”
and with this knowledge are they go
ing to listen to the twaddle ah mt his
high or low tariff views ? Judge Stew
art is exceedingly anxious for the peo
p'« to know that Grady is a Karo
Kaudall democrat. If the Judge oath
knew it, there arc more of this kind of
democrats in his district than he is
counting on. This is the class of dem
ocrats who are building cotton facto
ries. -oiling mills, aad in fact all classes
of manufacturing establishments, by
which our lauds are enhanced in value,
and our cotton will he made to
bring more per pound. It
was just such views as Judge Stew-art
promulgates that defeated Grover
Cleveland, and will continue to defeat
the democracy if persisted in.
I lie north lias grown immensely rich
by protection, and, now since the south ,
lias begun to build herself up by the !
only .afe means of material prosperity, 1
he would have tueni to compete with a !
class of foreigners who work for uomi- j
nal wages and produce a cheaper goods j
than our mills can afford io make. The
south wants to manufacture her own
cotton and be protected in so doing, i
Goods are cheaper now than ever be !
fore, and yet if lie will let them a'one
they will continue to make them more
cheaply and still make money.
We are not authorized to say tint
Mr. Grady will be a candidate, hut w<- '
are pretty certain if he ruus “peace j
will cease to reign in Warsaw’ until he
is installed as a Congressman. He h.
a patriot a man who would scorn to
use demagogical methods to obtain a '
scat in Congress.

some facts relative to the mill that
may not prove uninteresting to our

arc indebted to Mr. S. B. Kimlx-11, sec
retary of the corporation.
Situated on the east side of the K.

wfflcli is destined to w irk wonders in
the material development of Henrv
comity ;an enterprise that will disen
thrall the bone and sinew of the coun
ty —the farmers, from high priced gu

capacity of fiOO bushels of seed per

six sixty saw gins, with a cutting ra
pacity of flirty hales per day, or millet

a patent suction device which renders
it unnecessary to have them fed by
hand. Ihe thiol story is devoted
%
mainly to the machinery appertaining
to the patent suction device, and
stands for holding cotton foi "ins on
the second floor. The gins will all
have condensers attached. The press
has a capacity of a lmle every fifteen

Gen. Lewis, the new post master tit
I Atlanta, is creating quite a furore l>y
j fhe appointment of a negro bv the name
of Penny, to the registry department of
i that office. 1 here were white ladies in
| tho registry department who were just
ly indignant tit the effort of this Grand
Army hero, who at the head of a negro
i brigade, fought nobly (?) for his nets.
I hero is an expression of indignation
by the people oi Atlanta that will make
| it exceedingly uncomfortable for Boss
Buck s appointee. And while we have
this worthy in our in.ml let us say that
j he, too, won imperishable renown as
i A oioncl of a negro regiment, and as a
matter of course his comrades must lie
j provided for, though they are thrust in
juxta proximity with white ladies.
AA hile it is to bo regretted that we
have sueli an element of negro loving
| scoundrels in our midst, yet it is no
more than could he expected that they
would endeavor to force social equality
on the south when an opportunity pre
sented. I hey gained glory' and re
noun by leading negro soldiers to llhdit.
these vultures have fattened on out
misfortunes, and are still elide ivoriii"
to do a greater harm, than stealing sil
verware and burning our homes, bv
forcing the negro upon us socially.
Atlanta has taken these vipers to her
bosom ; she has lionized them to ade
gtee heretofore unknown, and now 7 they
requite her kitiducss by adding insult
to in jut y. O, Atlantcsc, how long will
ye coddle the coyotes from the north,
and allow them to Haunt their stinkiug

;■ nee,
Ihe Mibja-a lor our eoiisideiation to
day is one in which we, as nlliaiicemeu,
should consider well. If J i»i| to in
terest this honorable body of men and
women I h ipe you will pardon ine.
Now, to tin: subject, “Cotton Seed,
their Advantages and How to Best
use them.” I must confess to you that
in I'iscu-sing this subject that 1 am not
prepared to treat it as some might, hut
1 have made it a point ever since I
first appeared in public to do the best I
could, and whet ever duty calls me. to
r- spon J.
We are all cognizant of the fact, ho
yond consideration, that whatever our
so 1 produces will, properly cared for,
enrich tin- land by returning part of it
to mother earth. Therefore, to enable
us to properly appreciate what God
gives us. we must first educate our
selves up t i that |ioint, that to enable
us to appreciate His gift, we must learn
to labor and to wait.
Now, to the point. I suppose you
are anxious and ready for me to reach
it. I roust insist t.hsft to handle cotton
seed to the la-st interest of the farmer, I
is to handle them as you do your lint
cotton ; save seed enough for cow food,
which will he returned to your lands,
where you expect to make an honest
living. It is claimed by one English
man, who has had experience sufficient
to verity his assertion, that he could
take the cotton seed that conies Irom
the entire crop every year and derive
more money than the whole amount
the lint cotton brings. How ? By ma
nipulating them into oils, oil cake, etc.
Nome of the finest oils we have are
manipulated from cotton seed from a
-mall price np to t-4 and s•> per gallon.
Tut we are tgit exactly ready to go in
to that business yet; we (list want to
bring our lands up to a higher standard
of cultivation, and we can only do it bv
utilizing our cotton seed and other ma
nures we raise at home.
If education cannot help the burner,
vvliat can ? ( an ignorance? If farmers
cannot he benefftted by education, they
are very different, from the men engaged
in every other kind of business. There
is much to he ii-artn <1 in every busi
ness, and farming is no exception. If
farmers go on year after year raising
more of any particular crop than they
can sell at, a profit they do not exactly
understand their business. We ought
to advocate, not only advocate hut
practice, better methods of fanning, be
came we increase the yield per acre
wo lower the cost of production anil in
crease the profits. If the total produc -
tion of any crop should be lessened it
should he done by decreasing the area
under cultivation, and not bv decreas
ing the yield per acre by inferior
j methods of farming.
The education the farmers need cov
ers a much broader field titan simply
enabling them to grow better crops.
According to the last annual report
of the Department of Agriculture, the
farm value of the live principal grain
crops, corn, w heat, oats, barley and
rye, is over SI 00,000,000 more for 1 KBS
than IHS7.
Now , liovv much of this increase, and
| also of tlm total value, goes to each in
dividual fanner, depends, in no small
measure, on the methods he employs
in raising these crops. If his methods
were shiftless his profits are very small
or nothing. The. returns el agricul
ture depend much on conditions over
which the fanner has no control, but
he certainly can help himself greatly
by the application of sound business
principles to ever branch of his busi
ness. Now. you see what we need is
to educate ourselves to know how to
best use, not only, our cotton seed hut
every commodity that we raise. There
fore, seeing, feeling and hearing is the
nnki*l truth. Have nc not seen, have
we not In aril, have w e not not felt and,
not only, felt hut tasted, not only, tas
ted hut swallowed the largest pile of
cotton seed mixed with atioilvnts opi-
; --- ■ -r
unis, the world ever saw : and yet we
arc anxious to find out how best to util
ize our cotton seed. Let me answer
that question for at least a time to
j come-—use your cotton seed at home
and bring up your lands to a Uglier
j state of cultivation, and when the cli
max is reached, build your own cotiou
| s< ed oil mills ami continue to give back
|to mother earth what you rob her of.
\\ e must not accept these fancy prices
tliiowu out to us as a bait. By so do
j ing xve not oiriy rob ourselves hut
bring shame and di-grace to our wives
| and children by plunging them into the
| meshes of debt.
It may he a divine decree that the
farmer -hall eat his bread in the sweat
"f his face, hut is a human invention, of
questionable utility, that ho should al
so support all the rest of mankind, and
especially tliosp who cat their bread
without the perspiration that conies
from honest toil.
llu' complaint that the producer,
the creator of wealth, is allowed to keep I
but a small sh»ie of it for his benefit
and is obliged to give the great
er part of it to an idle aiistocraev and
lill the pockets of millionsir< s. and then
bear the burden of t ixation with the
little stlength and substance left him.
is bv no means new to any of us. It
caused historic troubles and disputes in
ancient Home, great wars in the middle
ages, and more or le.-s dissatisfaction al
most iu till times. Lut in spite of all the
kicking an 1 twisting, the aimer still
pays.
During the | resent peri, d of depres
sion, there is a wide-spread feeling
among the farmers ot this favored land,
that their <4bupatMh is one of under
paid, unremitting toil, and that things
could not be worse for them than they
are now. .V glam eat the condition ol
farm life in the -oldest nation in the
world may at least convince them that
they are not nearly as bad off as they
might be, and give them reason to he
less discontented with the measure of
prosperit y they now have. I .cl me
give you a short account ol farm life ir.
< hina. as far as memory serves me, for
it lias been a long time since 1 read the
hislory of that country, hut suffice it to
say it is about the same at the presi nt
day. The Chinese are a nation of far
rners. Ibid yon ever thought of that
lrefore ? In some of tho densely popu
lated districts nine tent Its of the men
are engaged iu-~ agriculture. By skil
ful burning they have k< - j»t. up to its
highest point the fertiiiti of soil that
has Ih-i-ii under constant cu'tivation for
thousands of years. The annual gov
ernment tax on land averages >1 .">0
per ifcre. The land is divided into
vety small tiacts, anil is cultivated by
the peasant proprietor, or leased by
them to their neighbors. Wry few
own as muclfas ten acres. Many own
only from one-tenth u, one-half of an
acre ; and much of the law! is tilled on
shares. Good farming land is valued
at ftont s.bOO to 8800 per acre. Inter
est on money is from twelve to twenty
per cent. The chief expense of ti.lage
is in fertilizer* ; the average outlay per
acre being about *24 per acre. Now.
make your own calculation* and see
where you, as intelligent farmers, stand.
< 'ottoti seed can be used at about the
cost of r-20 a ton. and a ton will | re
pine almost ;is much land as any 'One
horse burner ought to work. Am 1
right ? You ought to do like the C'ld
nese—educate yourselves and find out
how many people can live oil the t re
dacts of a single acre of ground.
In c cottonseed with com
meieial Tertilrzers, with the object of
showing their relative values, only the
actual amounts of certain elements of
plant food are taken into considera
tion. But when applied to the soil,
cotton seed has in addition to the sup-
ply of available plant foo I which it fur
nislies, a value not possessed by the or
dinary commercial fertilizers, and this
value is clearly pointed out. Besides
increasing the fertility, repeated appli
cations of cotton seed manure will in
time, completely change the mechani
cal condition and chaiactor of some
soils. For example, take a compact,
heavy clay soil that is hard to plow and
cultivate, and which nearly always re
quires a great deal of time and hard la
bor to put in good order for planting.
Such a soil can gradually he made
loose, mellow, darker in color, anil easy
to cultivate by liberal applications ol
cotton seed. This process of ameliora
tion and enriching the soil can be great
ly hastened if peas supplements the
use of manure. 'The addition of a
large quantity of vegetable matter is
the subject, and the end is that the
mechanical condition is greatly changed
for the better, and the labor anil cost
of cultivation reduced, thus under prop
er treatment ; a double advantage is
gained.
