Sam Joaes has quit preaching and lecturing on account of ill health, and is now in Atlanta under treatment of a specialist. ' At Republican headquarters iu Chi cago the eslimhte is McKinley 249, IJryac 145. At Democratic beadquar ters the claim is Bryan 213 and iV.c Kinley 137. i'l he presidential election takes place on Tuesday November 6:h. Every Democrat iu Georgia should go to the polls ou that day aud vote for Bryan and Stevenson. Georgia will hardly feel the shock of the political storm sweeping the country. Conscious of her power, and the justice of the cause she stands for, she will ride serenely into the land locked haven of true aud unadulterated domocracy, says an exchange. The Macon Telegraph Bays: “It all comes back to the proposition laid down iu these columns several days ago: If it was a good inyestmeut to plant wheat while cotton was down, iu order to biace the price up, it is bet ter investment to plant wheat while cottou is up in order to keep it up. This is the main question. Let us keep it before both eyes daily.” An exchange says iu a certain fami ly there are two sons besides the father. One son is a republican and the other is a democrat, while the father .is a populist. They have some hot argu ments and abuse each other roundly. The old man says he r< grets that he ever brought two Such fools into the world. The hovs say they would rather not have been born tbau to have such a crank for a fuller. Two negroes consummated iheir courtship behiud the bars of Bibb couuty jail yesterday.

To Make the Mouth ICicli, Southern farmers should not permit the present price of cotton to divert their minds from the necessity of di versiying their crops. I' is in diversi hcation that their hope of independence tnd wealth lies. Cotton prices will not always remain high. Seasons of de pression will come again, when those farmers who continue to make cotton their sole crop will have abundauf oc casion to regret their lack of fore sight. There is no b iter time thau the present to make anaugements foi de voting acreage and attention to several farm products next year. The ext»a money that will coma from the cotton this season will place the average far mtr in a position to take up’ other lines of production without having to burden himself for the purpose of so doing New lands can be opened up for tobac co; additions cau be made to the herds of cattli; more fiuit trees cau be plant •d; the flocks about the biruyards can be increased; the acreages of wheat and oats can be extended. lu short, there are dozens of ways in which the faimers of the South cau become "ex pansionists” at home, wLolly "within the party and constitution,” and they ought to do it for their own good. During the past two or three years diversified farming has made fairly good progress iu the South. Ju this State the wheat crop is now quite importaor, hut it is not nearly «s large it should bo. A chemist’s report which we published the other day show ed that as fine wheat can be raised in Georgia as in any other State of the* Union. The fruits of Georgia and Florida are recognized as beiDg among the best in the world Indeed it would probably be impossible to mention any agricultural product of the temperate zone that cauuot bd euccessfuMy pro duced in the South. While a start has been made iu the direction of diversifying crops, it is as yet only a start. We are still buyiog corn, lard, meat and flour from the West, aud potatoes, turnips, butter, cheese, canned goods and many other articles of food from the North. We do not even produce all of the chickeus and eggs we eat, but get them in large quantities from non-cotton S ates, aod pay good prices for them. We send literally millions of dollars per vear a vay from heme for food that might better be produced at home. The start that has been made iu home production of food ciopa aud pro visions ought to be encouraged by ev ery means possible, aud those who have made the start ought to talk it up to their neighbors who have not, and try to get them to join the processiou Agitation will get the all-cotton farmer interested, and once be has gotten into the way of planting corn, sugar cane, wh«at, oats, etc., in addition to cotton, they will wonder why they stood iu their own light Ai'd, as was said above, .there is no time bttter than the present, when cot ton prices are good, to make arrange ments for crops. Diversified farming not only means indepeuce for the in el ligent and imlustriouß tanners, but it means (bat when the system becomes anything like geueral iu the South good prices for cotton—the money crop— will he practically assured —Savauuah Mews.
