The splendid price that is now being
paid for cotton should not cause farm
ers to plant more cotton and less corn
than last year. It should be borne in
mind that the South has the cotton
field of the world. Other countries
raise it, but Southern cotton stands
first in the markets of the world. This
being true, farmers should plant less
and make more through preparation
for what is planted. It is the first du
ty of a farmer to raise his supplies,
and then raise what cotton he can as a
surplus crop.
High prices for cotton are usually a
delusion and a snare. The high prices
that obtained directly after the war is
still fresh in the memory of all cotton
growers. These prices caused most
farmers to abandon raising their sup
plies ; and to this source can be traced,
by ineffacable foot-prints, thp illiad of
their woes.
It was calculated by the enthusiastic
cotton grower, that he could not afford
to raise corn when cotton was woith
twenty-five cents a pound; to raise
he would lose money, but to
make cotton, he would coin it. Money
was plentiful, high prices were paid
for everything. With a plethora of
money, farmers speut lavishly, bought
on a credit at high prices, and & steady
decline in cotton culminated in tho
panic of ’73, in which many of them
were ruined, and most of them finan
cially embarrassed.
Had they been conservative in rais
ing cotton —had they raised half the
amount of cotton and all of their sup
plies, to-day would find cotton selling
at twenty cents a pound and the exec
ution dockets and mortgage rt cords un
marked by evidences of accumulating,
and, in many instances, overwhelming
debt. The mortgage records are mar
red with land mortgages, taken by
northern capitalists. But few farmers
have any idea what inroads are being
made on southern property by tho
rich, yankee money lender. If things
contiuue to go as they have gone for
the last few yeais, the native land own
er will be forced to surrender his title
to his avaracious northern neighbor,
and become his tenant. While these
views are somewhat forcibly drawn,
they are backed bv facts, and as such,
we should look them squarely in the
face and apply a remedy. That reme
dy Tiie ll i nky County Weekly
has frequently given—raise
vonr meat and bread at home, let cot-
ton be the surplus crop. It canuot be
denied that if the cotton crop was re
duced one half, the price would be doub
led wliat it now is. This was sliowu
plainly during the four years of war,
when none was made.; it went to a dol
lar a pound. In the face of these facts
it is sheer folly to raise all cotton and
buy supplies ou a credit. Live at home
and save your money, and in a few
years you will do all the money lend*
ing of 'he State.

We are not of those who are dispos
ed to take pessimistic views of the
town’s future, but we know that no one
is so blind as h« who will not see.
“Coming events cast their shadows be
fore,” and the building of the Middle
Georgia & Atlantic R. R. from Mach
en to Atlanta, via Peachstone Shoals,
will necessarily abridge the finest por
tion of our trading territory. The
Shoals, as a matter of course, will be a
town of considerable importance, and
many good farmers who now trade here
will go there to do their trading.
1 here is another impending danger
to the territory to the north east of us;
the Georgia Midland is sure to be
built from here to some point on the
Geoigia, Carolina and Northern.
wliich has been located from the state
border on the east to Atlanta. We
have assurances that as soon as dirt is
broken (which will not be long; in
Georgia, on this road, the Georgia Mid
land authorities will at once begin the
extension, with a terminus at Jug Tav
ern.
The building and extension of these
roads will leave McDonough but little
available territory. Without territory
the town must necessarily retrograde,
unless its citizens endeavor to do some
thing by local manufacturing enterpiis
es. There a number of enterprises
that would pay the investor, and at the
same time prevent a stagnation in busi
ness and dwarfing our growth. Griffin
found itself much in the same predica
ment that we are soon to be in, and to
offset her loss of tiading territoiy be
gan building manufactories, which was
dene without stint, and the consequence
is she has better prospects of success
now than before the railroads were
built. This is the only avenue left us to
escape the dry rot. There is plenty of
idle capital in five miles of McDonough
to build a SIOO,OOO cotton factory, a
s‘2. r >,ooo cotton oil mill and $2,000 can
ning factory. These enterprises, set,
on foot, will put the town on the road
to prosperity, and will more than com
pensate for the loss of territoiy taken
by the new railroads, but if nothing Is
done in behalf of the town its decline
is inevitable.

In the ears, sometimes a roaring buz
zing sound are caused by catarrn, that
exceedingly disagreeable. Loss of
smell or hearing also result from ca
tarrh. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the great
blood purifier, is a peculiarly successful
remedy for this disease, which it cures
by purifying the blood. If you suffer
from catarrh, try Hood’s Sarsaparilla,

The people of tho United States
have been forced to witness a spectacle
in the United Stales Congress, which
for daring, ucprecidented villiany and
subveisive tendencies, has no parallel
in the annals of the government. Heed,
tho autocrat, ignoring the minority,
making his will paramount to every.
thing. Former rules and precileuts
are swept aside, and the ruffian who
disgraces the speaker’s chair essays to
brow-beat the solid democratic phal
anx. Hacked, in his revolutionary ac
tions, by a majority of republican pluu
ders, whose itching palms prompt them
to wage war on honestly elected demo
crats, in that they may be unseated to
give the looters an easy working ma
jority to despoil the treasury.
Hut of one thing, the country can
rest assured, thut while the revolution
ists are iording it with a high hand, tho
American public has its eyes upon
them : and will punish their perfidy by
consigning its instigators and perpetra
tors to oblivion. They have set a pre
cideut for gagging the minority, and
Bourbons, though they be, the Demo
crats can and will learn in the next
house (which will be democratic) to
put the screws to the dogs, who for
party ends have done them irreparable
wrong—a wrong for which there is no
excuse, except inate meanness and a
hankering to outdo their bag-carrying,
treacherous prototype, the base Judean,
who for thirty pieces of siyer betrayed
the Christ.
Do your worst, you thieving curs,
the gods have their miller
at work, aud while he takes his
toll slowly, your turn will come after
a while. Rost assured that he will re
quire of you a full measure.
The Democratic sleuth-hounds of tar
iff reform are likewise ou your .foetid
trail ; they have somewhat against you
for robbing the farmer,mechanic,and all
laboring people of their small pitance
which you give to piotected million
aire industries.

1 he city papers are cudgeling their
fertile brains for new candidates for
governor. It is painfully apparent
that any body but a farmer is their
ehoice. Among a few of the latest is
Gen. Clement A. Evans, of Augusta,
Mr. High 1 miff Walsh, of the same
village, Tom Glenu, of Atlanta, and
Judge Cusp, member of Congress
The first nominee is in better business
than politics—he’s a good Methodist
minister, and the people will not de
base his high calling by flinging him in
the slush of politics. Mr. Walsh would
make a good governor of—a high tar
iff Yankee state, but Georgia does not
need him.
Mr. Glenn is peart young man ;
has made some reputa'ion as
a lawyer and lots of money;
but in as much as he is the
Constitution’s candidate, the people art*
inclined to think "there is a nigger in
the wood pile,” so it would be well
for Mr. Gleen to step down and ont.
W hen lie is backed by the people he
can ferry—his present backing is too
impuisaut. As for Judge f'li-p the
State of Georgia, and the great demo
cratic party cannot do without him in
Congiess. He can homestead on the
office as brig as he hits the hateful how
lers as hard as he did their apostle,
Tom Reed, a few days ago.
What’s the matter with the farmers?
Is there no material among them fit to
make a governor ? We have been un
able to find any flies on Livingston,
Peek and First-Hale Joqes. While
it is true that the farmers represent a
-mall portion of the people of Georgia
as compared with learned professions,
yet, as they have not hail a governor
from their ranks from the time where
of the memory of man runneth to the
contrary, suppose we try it on just
once ; once invested in gubina
torial harness it is to be feared the peo
ple will get stuck on him, and will not
want to change.
Foul poisons that accuiumiilate in

Here is a few facts that show how
Omnipotence regards tho Democratic
and Republican presidents. A Dem
ocratic president hasever been assassin
ated, and the Democrtic party has
been in existence a hundred
years or more. In twenty
two years the republicans have had
two presidents assassinated, one by a
madman and the other by a republican
of republicans ; in other words, the pur
est of the breed. It is safe to predict
that the democrats for the next hun
dred years will retain the government
three fourths of the time,
and the republicans to keep up their
present ratio of assassinations for the
same length of time must have it twen
tv. four years. The rule of the just en
dures to the end, hut the corrupt ruler,
who gets his office by corruption and
fraud, is a target for the assassin.

While we deplore the frightful loss
of life in the burning of Secretary Tra
cy's house, in Washington, in which
Mrs. Tracy, her daughter and a French
maid perished, still wo are inclined to
baso the misfortune on the same line
that President Harrison places his el
ection—it was providential, and should
serve as a warning to the surviving
members of the cabinet and the presi
dent, that a thing may he bribed and
stolen, vet an avenging nemisis still
pursues the villains; and thy best thing
they can do with the presidency is to
pour it back into the democratic jug.
and let tariff reform pursue the even
tenor of its way.
Remember that Ayer’s Cherry I’ec

He tells the senators something about
slavery that some of them had forgot
ten. He struck Mr. J. J. Ingalls, the
lightening bug, square between his
narrow eyes and floored him. Senator
Vance is exactly in the right place ;

emies, he comes back at them with
cool argumentative facts that “sets the

Jt'ixiK Crisp immortalized himself
iu defense of the minority’s rights in

Reed some nvghty plain, unvarnished

law and usage, it would have been call
«d "sass but the Judge laid nil his
parliamentary vinegar, and made “the
wild bull of the woods” wrigle under
his polished invective. Long may he
live to lambaste the stuffed lion.

Reed has been doing for the last feu
days mak< sus red hot; the trouble is
