HENRY CO. WEEKLY.

McDoNOuon, Ga., Bi.pt. 27. 1895.
Cotton .Market.
The past week has been an active
one in cotton and prices paid have been
good. In McDonough cents bus
been paid and is being paid today
(Thursday) as we go to press. What
a vast difference this is from last sea
son’s prices of 41 and 51 cents—nearly
S2O per bale.
The cause of the advance is attribu
ted by the trade generally to the short
ness of the crops. Mr. Neil of Neil
Bros , Loudon and New Orleans, who
is generally considered to be an author
ity on cotton, estimates the crops at
about 7,000,000 bales, and with hi*
unsurpassed facilities for gathering in
formation on the subject, he is generally
nearer right in his estimates .than any
of the other statisticians who are known
to the trade.
Ilaid times will be a thing of the
past from Dow on -at least it looks so
from our point of view. Plenty of
meat and molasses, corn crop good and
plenty of wheat, cotton at above eight
cents everywhere, being paid for in
good souud money—and all of this
while under a democratic administra
tion.
McDonough is going to stay at the
front while the cotton crop is being
marketed. Three independent buyers,
Messrs. 11. J. Copeland, Sons & Co.,
The Fields & Ilenslse Co. and Mr. (J.
W. Strobhar are all ready to bid on
the article—and each one of them wan t
their share.
Our roerchau's have good stocks of
everything, and we expect to have some
advertisements from them shortly that
will startle the people. Bring your
cotton to McDonough aud get good
prices.

For Better Education.
F.very citizen of Henry county
should have heard the able speech of
State School Commissioner Glenn de
livered last Friday at the court house.
It was full of wholesome thought and
suggestiou to teacher, pupil and citi
zeu. lie encouraged the teacher* to
consecrate their lives to the advanc"-
ment of education in Georgia ; he ex
horted the children to build character
on the staudard of truth, manhood, and
womanhood ; and he urged the people
to build comfortuble school houses in
reach of every child in the county.
He told us of the effort that he will
make to iuflueuce the legislature to
make a million dollar additional appro
priation to ihe school fund, that we
may checker this county with suitable
houses aud progressive, better-paid
teachers; thereby giving every child
the better opportunities which he de
serves at our hands, and must have if
he catches the spirit of the age. Many
citizens indicated that they favored the
movement, and the teachers were unan
imous in bidding him Got) speed.
He accouuted for the shrinkage of
values in the rural districts by the fact
that so many farmers have moved to
town to educate their children, savins;
that they just divided the value of their
farms by two, or four whan they moved
away from it.
lie instanced Bibb county to show
that a good system of schools in each
comity would bring about the reaction
we need. In.that county, a public sys
tem baa been operated for many years.
There are good houses all over the
county supplied with the best of teach
its and various devices that help the
teacher teach aud make plain m uiy
ohstruse problems, with which r ung
minds, unaided, would have to struggle
lor years. While we see a great slump
in property values ovor the State, we
notice iu Bibb that property all over
the county has had a constant and
healthy increase, and that farmers were
moving to their farms because the
schools are as good iu the country as
in town, aud their children are removed
from the evil temptation* of city life.
He congratulated us because we have
not built a new court house aud are,
therefore, better ah! •to pay for new
school houses.

Everybody humbly bowed to King
cotton last week, but the thermometers.
They took rooms on the third floor
and refused to come down for any
thing
Mr. W. P Norman, of < )!a who died
Sunday and was hurried Monday at
Bethany, had many friends in this
community.
Mr. "Bud,’’ Lewis is reported sick
with Tonsilitis, though while considers
ble sickness is beingjreported from other
sections, our immediate community is
tolerably healthy, for which we should
Ire duly thankful to the author of all
good.
liev. R. C. Manley preached at Mt.
Bethel church Sunday night to a good
ly iniuibes of the neighborhood people
who gathered in to hear him, probably
for the last time, as he is going to
move soou to Zebulon, in the land of
Pike, which is sacredly famous as the
bit til place and early homo of old man
“Plunkett," and whither Mr. Mauley
uni his interesting family will carry
with them the host wishes of all, good
people of this community.
The failure of the appearance of the
little casket of jewels from our neigh
bor ‘‘Us Fo” last week goes to confirm
the belief that he is only one instead of
four, for if there wi re so many of him,
then ; f one failed another would not.
The Weekly did Rural great hon
or last week in placing him alongside
of brothers “Modestus” and “Old
Guard” the nuly two eorrespoiiaents
that showud up. They are good com
pany, ami especially was the article of
“Modestus" a sensible and timely one,
roost of which would apply as well to
this or any other community as to
White House. The debating society
would be a good institution anywhere
provided no religious sect lints, nor
political party lines were drawn through
it. These lines should he abolished
from the face of the earth and Chrii
tatiity take the place of religious sects,
and Democracy the place of politics!
parties.
It will soon be time for the Georgia
legislature to meet, and if it docs not
want to go on record as a company of
assfß it will do well to not fool away
much time in trying to legislate tem
perance into the hearts of the people of
the state by passing laws that dictate
to them what they shall, or shall not,
eat or drink.
For temperance is a Christian grace,
not to be obtained by legislation lu
deed it is beyond the roach and con
trol of legislative higou aud religious
fanatics, and every effort to enforce
religious principals by civil power or
military force is a fatal error against
the cause of genuine religion.
When the 84th senatorial district
culls, next vrar k as it doubtless will
cull for Col. Reagan to step up higher,
who of ths patriotic sous of old Henry
will take his place In the house? Gen
tlemen, don't all speak at once.
In recent years when as a result of
a long train of republican misrule a
money panic prevailed, prices of cotton
a» every thing else, was low and revoln
tion, anarchy, aud currency inflation
seemed to threaten tbo c irnitry. Cox
pyism and VVatsouism were in their
glory, and their adherents were stump
| ing the country to tell the people that
| the law of supply and demand had
I uoUiing to do with prices.
But since by wise Democratic man
I agement of the nation’s finances, the
stability of the currency is assured, and
capital it creeping from its hiding
places, and prices ot cotton and of nth
Icr things are advancing, why don’t
lihese same stump speakers come
round and tell us, gentlemen, wo were
mistaken, for now we sec that with a
souud Democratic government, a sound
currency, and a decreased supply and
an increasad demand, the price of cot
tou is steadily advaucing? Rirai.

We can’t set- Imw it i» Mim alln
reading our vi w* <m the whiskm .pi.
tion, that B o. “Rural" could net hi
mind so slirrci up as to “Wonder if we
had sample 1 the m w cr - lff 0 f brandy”
and then claim that tic di i nor, intend
to cast out any slurs at us in any w.iy.
He says that he bas always “chcruhe
no other than the kindest of feelings
toward us” and that we have judged
him too hastily in this matter; and as
he has come before us ou bended kuces,
wo will admit that pin naps we have
been a little hasty, aud aie willing to
except his explanation ou tho subject.
He claims that we have misrepresented
him before the public in using the
words “consider the source.” \V r o did
not intend to try to injure “Rural"
personally, for we cherish no ill will
against him personally, nor do we
want to say anything teat would mar
his feeliugs personally, but vre do say
that if he does what he claims to do,
aud that is to advocate the “grand
cause of religion aud political freedom"
and then at tho same time advocates
a political party that us"a whiskey and
other frauduleut means in order to se
cure office (winch has been clearly
demonstrated), and then hint at us on
iho whisky question, why then again
we would “consider the source” from
whence it came. Again he says that
“a man with out charity becomes but
a tinkling cymbal and sounding brass.”
Well, if “Rural” bas ever had any
charity or feeling for the honest cou
victions of his fellow man, and protni
nent citizens of Henry cotlu'y who
have espoused the cause of tße reform
movement, vve have failed to see it as
yet. And according to his own words
he lias become hut “a tinkling cymbal
and sounding brass” himself if any
body has. Do has always been heard
lifting his fruitless cry against the
Alliance principles, and doing every
thing he c-.-uld to banish from the fuce
of the eaith the reform movement that
has opened the eyes of the people, and
we think if you will .'art back about
two years an road the columns of I’nr.
Weekly on up to the present time
you will find that no one is more dan
gerouely or more “hopelessly drunk”
on prejudice thnn “Rural” is We
could go on here and quote some of
his slurs, and iitaiiioatious that lie has
cast at the honest convictions of Some
of ILnry county's most prominent
aim, but space forbids us, aud we for
bear. We want to say that we arc for
reform on the whiskey question, and
s ; an i fiat footed for reform in every
thing, and we don't propose to get up
anything that would hurt the feelings
of “Rural” or anybody else, aid will
suy that af or ibis ankle wo will have

else that he would like to engage in ;
but hope and trust, that when the tiinn

at his home near Oia last Saturday
night, after a lingi ring illness, lie

and assistance during his illness, and
exhausted every means that thev knew
of to raise him luck to his wonted
health, hut it was all to no avail ; the

upon him and h • lingered on until last
Saturday night when he peacefully
passed form earth into the great he
Vend. He real z-d the fact soup time
hi fore his d< i r 'i that !ih would soon
leave this world, and expressed him
