WEEKLYJ TIMES. u\ Fo VC HE £ JOIfXSOy, J. A. FOt CHK. Editor. Entered at the postoffiee at McDonough Ga., as second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga., Dec. 4, 1891. COTTON OR TORACCO. Shall We Raise Cotton and l-ose Mon ey, or Shall We Raise Tobacco and Make Money? Mr. Editor:—The bitter experience of the past has taught most farmers that but little hope lies in making cot ton for money. Those who have made this alluring crop the present year have only a memory of blasted hopes. But one in a hundred have succeeded in making money out of the present crop, and it is doubtful if even the hundredth man has succeeded. The farmers have followed cotton raising until bankruptcy stares them in the face. The outlook for next jear is more gloomy thar. for many years. What can the farmer promise him self who intends raising cotton next year ? The surplus now on hand forbids the thinking man from attempting to raise much of it. With present price at seven cents and a surplus of millions of bales now on hand, can he expect to get more for next year’s crop than he is getting for this one ? All agree that the present crop has been produced in the states east of the M’ssippi river at a figure greater than the cotton is worth. Let us ask ourselves the question, “can the South compete with the West in raising cotton ?” Every one farailar with the natural advantages of the lat ter would auswer the question in the negative. No; the South pays nearly as much for fertilizers as it takes to produce the Western crop. The natural fertility of the West makes it entirely within the bounds of possibility to produce cotton at seven cents per pound and make as much money out of it as the South would make by producing it at ten cents per pound. Why tbis disparity iu the South’s ability to produce cotton as cheaply as the W T est? You have the fact in four words—poor land and guano. Hard times are pressing the South ern cotton farmer; he must look to something besides cotton for succor. The day is past when they can make money raising cotton. In the first place he must raise his own supplies. Having done this there is a golden avenue of escape. The writer hereof has recently vis ited the celebrated tobacco farms of Gadsden county, Florida. There lies the lauds that produce the famous ( 'u ban tobacco. It was his pleasure, as well as his good fortune, to learn that, notwithstanding, the people of Gads den county had become almost bank rupt by raising cotton, in their extrem ity took to raising this tobacco, and the results were so wonderfully remu nerative that in a few years many of them had lifted mortgages from their farms, and the people generally have become prosperous. Naturally the lands of Gadsden couu ty are no better than those of Heutv, and, iudeed, they resemble the Henry county lands in their general topogra phy, yet it is no uncommon thiug for farmers in that section to make from two to three huudred dollars per acre raising tobacco. The Sheriff of the county, Mr. Thomas Mitchell, planted ten acres and received therefor $2,125. making smartly over 8200 per acre. Maxwell, a young farmer with whom I ialked, informed me he plant, ed five acres in tobacco and sold his crop for $l,lOO. A negro man was pointed out to me on the streets of Quincy who had raised five acres of to bacco, from which he received SI,OOO and had the money deposited iu the bank. “Do you see that young man riding in that buggy ?” said a citizen of Quin cy to me. “He planted three acres in tobacco and sold it tor S9OO. Three huudred dollars per acre ! These are only a few of the many men who have made money out of their tobacco crops. There is no doubt about a thiug being good when you see a yankee put his money iuto it. These shrewd fel lows have gone to Quincy and have bought 15,000 acres of the best tobac co lauds. This year they alone plant ed 700 acres in the precious weed. They have also built two cigar facto ries, in which they employ something oyer 400 hands. There are a number of packing aud curing houses that employ half a dozen hundred operatives. They are making money. Lands have gone up in many instances a hundred per cent. In a few brief remarks I have un dertaken to show that the Floridans have made money by raising tobacco but they are not the only farmers who have made money by cultivating it. It has been shown time aud again that the farmers to the north of us have tfiSdC a hundred dollars out of tobacco to wlierO we hare made bhe raising cotton. Cotton fit-ids of Western North Carolina of fifteen years ago is a thing of the past; the farmers there (and even smartly into South Carolina' have taken to laising tobacco, fn many in stances making even more per acre than the Florida farmer. Iu tbis con nection the editor of The Weekly will publish, in the next issue of the pa per, an article written by a North Car olioiau showing the growth and pros perity of tobacco raising in the States of North and South Carolina, showing that iu many instances the tobacco grown in those high latitudes had made upwards of a SI,OOO per acre growing tobacco. Then, if those people can make so much money raising tobacco in the cot ton belt, why can’t a Henry county far mer do as well as they ? Everyone knows that tobaoco raising here is no experiment. It has been raised here, off and on, for more than seventy years; and the quantity and quality being as good as any grown in North Carolina, Virginia or Ken tucky. Let us see what it is possible to do with an acre of tobacco iu Henry coun ty. First we have the bright, ideal to bacco lands that produces the finest to bacco grown iu the world—a gray san dy loam with a clay subsoil. This is ours. Let us see what we can do with it. Put one hundred bushels of stable manure and coinpost on this acre and it will produce 3,000 pounds of tobacco, which at a miuimun price of ten cents per pound is S3OO per acre. Deduct s.">o for expenses and you have the net sutn of $230 per acre. This may appear extravagant, but it has been done iu many instances this year in North and South Carolina, and their lands are no better adapted to tobacco than your Henry county lands. Let every farmer try an acre for the next year, and more if he can. It is estimated by tobacco growers that it is necessary to have a tobacco barn 32xG0 feet to every five acres of tobacco. Great care must be taken in curiug to crowd it. Each stalk when hung in the barn should have seven or eight inches square space. In a subsequent issue I will give the method of cultivation as giveu me by Mr. Beu Smith, Quincy, Florida, who has had charge of one of the Syndicate farms near that town. C. M. Speer. ROCKY CREEK. Cotton has all been picked out and all sold. Wheat is up nicely and looking well. J. If. McVicker went over to Fay etteville on business last Saturday. J. N. Shiry, of McDonough, was in the community Monday. L. H. Puislev nod T. J. Turnipseed lias completed A. 11. Marlin’s residence at Louella and returned home. Mr. A. J. Dickson, of McDonough, spent Saturday night in the commuui ty. Three cheers for brother Hill, of Lovejoy. He is the best in the busi ness. l.ovejoy should be proud of such a man We would like to hear from him every week. The couutry seems to be infested with chicken thieves. We hope some of them wdl soon receive their reward. One of our neighbors, a young man, while going home from a neighbor’s house one night last week, and while in a flat and dark place iu the road, was confronted by a large burly negro, who with an oath reached for the young man’s collar, though he succeeded in geting his knife and gave the negro a gash across the shoulder. He had on a very thick overcoat and don’t guess he was hurt much but he cried oh! and made off through the woods. The Weekly has some good wri ters, and several of them are getting to be poets. Now brother “Old Guard” has fallen in line and comes out with a very sentimental poem. Besides being a good writer he is one of the most faithful to The Weekly. A. D. Martin is making preparations to start his saw mill as soon as he gets through ginuing cotton. It. 11. Greer, of Lovejoy, was down this week looking after his plantation. M. W. A kin’B new house is about completed. It is a beautv, and cost about 82.000. ,). E. Staudfield and J. J. Johnson Jr., of Flippen, was iu the community last week. J. H. McVicker and family went down to Griffin Wednesday. Mr. l’ink llarkness is moving his corn and fodder and farming irapli menis to his new home near Rocky Creek. Foot Feddlers are sweeping the county it seems. We are opposed to them. We have merchants to buy goods from, and if one don’t treat us right we go to another. Abram. Prevention Is Better Than cure, aud those who are subject to rheumatism can prevent attacks by keeping the blood pure and free from the acid which causes the disease. For this purpose Hood’s Sarsaparilla is used by thousands with great success. It is the best blood purifier. Constipation is caused by loss of the peristaltic action of the bowels. Hood's Pill* restore this actiou and invigorate the liver. In Metrtohy of Miss Emma tie fry. God needing another sweet voice to help swell the anthem of his redeemed above, ha* chosen that of .Miss Emma M. Berry, daughter of Mr. Mrs. W. S. Berry, of Henry county. Her pure white soul winged its flight to that beautiful morning laud “beyond the river, where the surges cease to roll,’’ Oct. 18th, 1891, given back to her God as pure and spotless as when lie gave it. Her death has brought sorrow and gioom into one of the happiest of house holds. She left a devoted father, moth er, sisters and brothers, aud an uncle, ou whom “he relied as much for paren tal love and protection as ou her own father, together with a host of friends to mourn her untimely departure. With her bright winning smile aud kind word for all, she had unlocked the portals of many hearts aud hag left an aching void that can only be filled when they recieve her glad kiss of welcome on a brighter shore. For five loDg months she wrestled with the golden (bread of life but at last it slipptd from* her nerveless grasp. All was done (or her that could be by phygiciaus, loving pareuts and sym pathetic friends. Wheu she realized that the end was near she called her loved ones around her, aud after invok ing a parting blessing she gave each a keepsake, an earthly treasure of hers, iu token of her love. * She was cheerful uuto the last aud always expressed herself as being ready and only waiting ou God’s divine prov. idence. She joined the Methodist church iu the fourteenth year of her age, and two years later was happily converted. She lived a consistent Christian life, following out the sphere and orbit of quiet usefulue-s in which God placed her, she feared not death. We esteem it a privilege to attest her many prom ised virtues, her faithfulness, her effi ciency, aud above all, her geuial, in spiring nature. Her bright, joyous heart imbibed sunshine from all around her, which she freely, in turn, gave out like a halo of love around her pathway. She was such a happy Christian that one involuutai ily loved a religion that welled up like a never ceasing fountain, awakening verdure and beauty on its way. Truly God chooses the brightest jew els for his own. Though the mother was able to close the eyes of her beloved child aud smile through her tears, saying “My Savior, Ido this for thee,” her heart was wrung with anguish even while grace enabled her to triumph. “It is the Lord and Judge of all the earth will do right” Each drop of grief will glitter a diamond in her crown of bliss. Nature is tender and God is merciful, and there comes to the Christian family iu this the time of their sorest affliction the comforting hope of that Surum irland whither E n - ma has gone. “Tis » blessing to live, hut sgrenter to die, And the best of the world is its path to the sky.” A Loving Friend, M.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a peculiar medicine, possessing, by virtue of Us peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation, curative power superior to any other article. A Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whose example Is worthy imitation, tells her experience below: To Cet ** In one store where I went to buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy their own instead of Hood's; he told me their’s would last longer; that I might take it on ten days’ trial; that if I did not like it I need not pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail on me to change. I told him I knew what Hood's Sarsaparilla was. I had taken it, was satisfied with it, and did not want any other. Hood’s When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was feeling real miserable, suffering a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak that at times I could hardly stand. 1 looked, and had for some time, like a person in con sumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so much good that I wonder at myself sometimes, and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mrs. Ella a. Gorr, ei Terrace Street, Boston.
