He touched the poliucrl airings and brought

Fine schemer of unfailing resources, rapidly
And imicfaiiju’ilv, he got in his work, and
Laid new gins to catch ’em. Where

And soared clean abo.e the gang who laid
To loot him, and steuied at home where
11.-seals most do congregate- Others-
Though slick, we.e taken in their owu uet,
Ilut he lit shore the snares, and swooped
Down and caught .the fatted, political
Gosling. He laid his clammy, obsequious
Hands upon the mines, and in them put his
Convict-olives, arrayed in Zebra clothes,
And bade them fouule the ca.vioniflVrous
Deposits with pick and ghoie'. With
Natures sell he seemed an old acquaintance,
And. from a so-kbiy full, fished out some

Jested at will w.tb cli glo ious majesty.
Ho stood oa the epnbl can moun ain,
And with lb" carpe -V-jgor and scaDawag
Talked, as friend to friend ; and in
Spo iive mood did prosecute Georgians at
Columbus, who were indicted as kuklitx, a
Klan that dwelt mainly in the
Of political evil-doers, and did try to extort
Evidence by packing them like sardines.
In n sweat box. His riches grew, as did
Also his atarice. He wanted suns, moons
And stars —in short, tie universe. By dint
Of strategy, he added the State road to his
Gigantic pile. While Avarice bis crowning
Passion is, he is not glow as a political
A nobat. Standing, flat-footed, he did the
Giand spostatical act of throwing a double
Summersault and lighting on his pins in
Ths republican ranks; and faltenrd himself
As a lick-skilot anion' the republican flesli-
Po'.s. He BO'tred on everything Democratic,
And laughed to see the ruin he had helped
To make, and gazed contemptuously on
Plot' Georgia, pros! ate at his feet. So he,
Through sublety aud knavery, turned again
His political coat, and back to his pictei.ded
First love, Democracy, came. Aud like
Mr. Uriah Heap, er nged and bowed himself
Into the g.aces good of“the heelers.” Then
Again lie wits solid with the paify that
He had deserted ami ouLh ed. Thoajh
Learning nmch chicanery he took n
Villinno ns Wight, and on the loftiest top of
Infamy's deteated mountain sat, soiled and
Begrimed I>y villainies innumerable,and as a
Vulture, gorged on putri.'aciion, perched it
The e to see if anything mo.e remained
Beneath into which it might plunge its
Ravenous beak. Legislators fell before him
In humble plight, and a governor to his
Relent iutiuenoc tumbled, and invested
Him in the senatorial harness. And miuy,
Too, with less cunning, who aimed lo imitate
His course, broke tlieir necks, and gave
Abundant sport to the yeomanry.

In 1887, when the G M. & G. R

Seaton Grantlaml, utsd others came to
McDonough and mule s;>eeches to >he
people, here, to secure a subscription of
Li 6,000, and promising theta, therefor
stock that would be worth a hundred
cents on the dollar. The amount was
secure! and the roa.l bu !, l. But in
stead of beiug worib pir valuation, the
stock proved to be wor bless, in that
the road was incumbered lo the amount
of $2<,000 per nii'e. when it was claim
ed and asser. Iby the president of the
road and other officials that the road
was only incumbe (d to the amount of
$15,000 per. cn'e. Under these rep
resentations the p ople of McDonough
t'rok sioch, thinking is was worth what
it was represent, dto be. After fiud
;og thU they bad been d -dived, aud
that their notos bid been transferred
to the Georgia Construe on Company,
the most of the stock, to wit: $12,000
was paid.
The subscribers who re'usei to pay

The case of the G. M & O R. R. vs
G. G. Weems was made a test case by
agreement of both sides. In she 8u
perior court the G. M. & G. li. R.
gained the case, but it was taken to the
Supreme court, where it was ably ar
gued by Col. G. W, Bryan of the firm
of Bryan & Dicken. The Supreme
court reversed the decision of the Su
perior court. This decision will open
up many interesting features.
The question now is, what are the

money they have paid in,and what will

At the session of the State Alliance,
held at Macon, last August, the com
mittee on cotton bagging was contin
ued, with instructions to provide a suf
ficient supply of cotton bagging for
the crop of the coming season.
As sjou thereafter, as an expression
could be received from the different
Alliances throughout the State, endors
ing this action, the committee was
called together for the purpose of mak
ing suitable arrangements for the man
ufacture of standard cotton bagging.
Since that time, the national con
vention at St. Louis adopted cottou
bagging as the covering for the next
crop aud urged its general use by the
members of the National Alliance.

manufacturers iu this state, who under
took the supply of cotton bagging the
past season will supply farmers with
standard cotton bagging to he 44 inch

menced uutd the mills have tecoivcd
sufficient orders to justify the necessa

not be accepted unless accompanied by
sufficient aud satisfactory guarantee for
payment, either iu cash or negotiable
paper.
Orders may be addressed to Wtst
Poiut Mills at West Point, Ga., Crown

will supply the necessary amount of
bagging for long staple cotton. 1 am

The officers of each County A’liance
are requested to make these fasts
known at once, to the members of their

Atlanta, Feb. 10.—[Special.]—
The camnrssioner of agriculture has
declined to admit to sale in the state of
Georgia, ihe Red Star Ferric fertilizer,
of which the Hon. R. 11. Jackson, for
merly president of the State Farmer’s
Alliance, is general agent for'he South
ern states.
Extraordinary claims have been
made for this fertilizer, but it fails to
meet the requirements of the Georg'a
law.
WHY IT WAS RULED OUT.
The following 'acts are furnished by
the dej artment of agriculture concei ,t
irig the reasons for ruling out the Fer
ric brand, and will be found of inteiest
to farmers :
“Department ok Agriculture,
Atlanta, Feb. 10. 1300.—Some time
since a brand of fert ;i izer, under the
name of the “Red Star Ferric Fertili
zer,” was presented at the office of lire
commissioner of ag ictihuro fr-r inspec
tion. analysis and sale in Georgia
Scon after the arrival of ti e goods a
request fr>r Inspection was called for
Accordingly samples were drawn and
promptly forwarded to the state chem
ist. At the same time the chemist was
requested, after a 'hi.rough examina
tion of both the ci'cnlar and the sample,
to report in writing his opinion as to
the utility and admissibility of the
goods into the markets of the state.
His reply thereto is herewith append
ed :
wiiat the chemist says.
Athens, Ga., Jan. 29.—Hon. J. T.
Ilendetson, Commissioner tf Agricul
ture, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir ; At
your request I have examined the circu
lar of the‘Star Slaughtering and Phos
phate Company’ of Washington C. H.,
Ohio, and also a sample of their Red
Star Ferric fertilizer, forwarded by you
with their request for inspection.
‘ This article appeals to be chiefly
silica and the oxides of iron and 'alum
ina, with abmtlO per cent, of phos
phoric acid, all of which is insoluble.
Potash and amonia are said to be
present in proportions of not more
than 1 per cent. each.
“Under the general laws of thissta'e
a merchantable fertilize- tuu-t coulfin
those substances which are generally
recognized as being genuine plant foods,
viz., available phosphoric acid, potash
and ammonia, and in certain minimum*
proportions. It is irae that certain ar
ticles are admitted to sale under the
general name of‘chemicals,’ which do
not fulfill the minimum requirements in
all particulars, but such articles are
always such as ate found to conta : n
some of the plant fowls named in ex
cessive proportions.
“While this department would not
care to enter into an a -goment with the
proprietors of this or any other article
as to the poss'ble value of sard, c'ay,
oxide of iron, or any other substance,
or an*’ peculiar mixture or combination
of them for fertilizing purposes, it
seems to m.r that the laws as at pieseut
framed dearly look to the exclusion
f *om our markets of anv article as a
“fertilizer” which does not conform
either in letter or in spirit to tire st\-
ted requirements as to content of plant
food.
•‘I am, therefore, dear in my opin
ion that this “Rod Sta- Ferric Fertili
zer” sltouldd not be edmitted t-> sale
iu this state. Very truly yours.
