Advises Farmers to raise More
Produce for Home Consup
tion And Less Cotton.
President Harvie Jordan, of tiie
Southern Cotton Growers’ Asso
elation, issued an important state
merit, and appeal to Urn farmers of
tlm cotton belt Saturday, urging
them the need-of lot becoru
ll! - panic-sttricken at this time
but to stand firm for 15 cents cot
ton, assuring them that tile accom¬
plishment of the desired end rests
entirely upon their actions.
He also urges that they plant less
cottoil for the coming cotton sea-
60 n, than they did for the present
season, and says slogen for the
next two months must be “diver
sifiction. > t
A campaign i3 apparently to be
taken up at once by the associa¬
tion fur the Southern fanners is to
full in the interest of split crops,
and the old-time cry of ‘‘Hog and
Hominy” lye revived. The effect
of the association, and many cf the
largest cotton raisers of the belt,
will be to induce all the farmers
to raise a reduced proportionate
amount of cotton and fnore of the
food stuffs to be used on the farms.
Evidences are shown in many sec¬
tions already of a disposition to
give more attention to Southern
marketable stuff on the farms this
year than heretofore.
THE MERIDIAN CYCLONE.
We live amid change and dan¬
ger of every kind and one very hand
There are dangers all around us
and at every moment, and the
human kind are dropping through
the trap bridge of life just r.s Ad¬
dison pictured in the “Vision of
Mirza;” but few catastrophes can
equal in horror that of being
dashed to death iu a cyclone. The
oppressive atmospheric disturban¬
ces, the darkness of the hour,
whether night ordayand the trem¬
endous roar of the stonn must be
most appalling.
We have ever been impressed by
descriptions given by those who
have witnessed these destructive
forces of nature Tliere are no
equivocations of language in the
word paintings of all who tell
what they see and experience m
them and, so forcibly do the words
strike, terror to the hearts of the
reader, that his sentihients ignore
the skyscraper to welcome the
cellar.
The Meridian storm in its fury
and destructiveness was terribE
but hardly worse than those fre¬
quently striking other cities
throughout the country. It seems
that no Southern town is secure
from these furious visitations and
they bo of V such velocity
may and
force as to level the strongest of
brick and iron structures that have
yet been erected.
PEACH CROP DAMAGED
TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT.
The cold wave Tuesday, is
thought by some to have damaged
the fruit crop, at least 25%.
though this is not certain. There
being no dampness preceeding the
cold wave.
Reports from Americus, Concord,
Moultrie and other South Georgia
towns all indicate some damage
done to peach crop.
DR. BRADLEY’S CHURCH
TO BE ENLARGED.
The announcement comes from
St. Louis that St. John's church,
of which Dr. H. S. Bradley for¬
merly Professor of Biology in
Emory college, is pastor, will
have alterations made in it at one©
in order that the seating capacity
may be enlarged for the accomo¬
dation of the immense crowds that
throng to hear Dr. Bradley.
Dr. Bradley has many friends in
Newton who will be glad to learn
bi» deserved success,

THE GOLDEN AGE AGAIN.
In our 1 1 st issue we hat! a litcje
something to say aixuit the ‘'Gold¬
en Age” of the Roman Empire, a
period which is considered by some
historians as the most happy of
the human race.
Shortly after the issue of the
Enterprise we learned that a new
paper was to be issued at Atlanta,
and edited by Mr. Willie D. Up¬
shaw was to assume that title.
This is merely a coincidence, as
the publishers of the new paper
could not possibly have learned of
our article, because the Enterprise
was not in press when they sent
out their circular, announcing the
new publication.
The incident is hardly worth
mentioning, but we use it in a con¬
gratulatory way, hoping for the
success of the new paper. The
men behind it at e able and earnest,
and we shall look for something of
unusual interest iu its columns.

CampaS g n Lic _ Can You beat It.
Hartwell, Ga., February 11th.
— Hoke Smith’s camgaign through¬
out this section has given him
every county in the district, in¬
cluding Oglethorpe and Madison.
The county commissioners to-day
had to place new pillars under the
court house, as the old ones were
shaken to pieces by applauses for
Hoke Smith. The sound of the
cheering was heard in Anderson,
S. C., and its citizens telephoned
to know if the earthquake had done
much damage to our town. Hoke
held a public reception at the hotel
Henrietta, the speaking, and the
enormous crowds that greeted him
wore out the floor, and which the
landlady is now- using for tooth¬
picks.
