We see it stated that this year's cotton
crop falls short of the crop of ’91 by
1,000,000 bales. This is due partly to
the unfavorable season, but largely to
the fact that our southern planters have
at last been brought to a realization of
the fart that their only safety lies in di
versified crops. The already slight in
crease in the price of cotton caused by
the short crop, is not sufficient to revive
any hopes of the good old cotton days
coming back.
('OL. L. A. WILSON ELECTED.
Ware county went to the polls on
Wednesday, the 5tli of October, and
elected to represent her in the state legis
lature, her temperance candidate, (5)1.
I* A. Wilson, of Way cross.
It is true that, incidentally, she also
foted for, and helped to elect, her gov
ernor and a full state ticket; but the is-
this county at this election was
much a question of party, as of
moral supremacy. Our people, after
eight yean of prosperity under a pro
hibitory license, were suddenly confront
ed with a proposition to invite, by a re
peal of the high license, the establish
ment of the liquor traffic in our little
city.
Tins effort was met by the majority of
ir solid citizens with an indignant pro
test lly the mothers, wives and daugh
ters it was received with a horror and
fear that finally culminated in
nest, organized, never resting effort to
save their city from threatened disorder,
disrepute, drunkenness and their homes
from the hamls of the despoiler. To
this good cause the ministers of the town
contributed their earnest almost inspired
work. Information soon came to the
councils of the tern iterance cause that
money in large quantities was corn
ing to the opposition from their liquor
allies in Savannah, Brunswick and Jack
sonville. While this fact alone ought to
have convinced the advocates of bar
rooms that these cities, and not Way-
cross, would be the gainers by the es
tablishment of the traffic here, still it
gave a dangerous strength to the enemies
of prohibition, and the situation was oini-
Tliat the town ami county were
both thoroughly amused to this ques-
.-ideneed by the unusually large
vote polled. • The over-whelming ma
jority of three hundred and fifteen votes
liestowed on Col. Wilson, was undoubt
edly a surprise to both sides.
We regard it as a moral victory. The
people have decided that whether or not
Way cross is to have a commercial reviv
ing her spiritual And moral well-being
shall not be jeopardized. To those of
friends who have suffered from the
great depression in business through the
south and west, and who honestly thought
they saw a revival of trade through the
liquor traffic in Way cross, we can only
ly the fiat of the people lias gone forth
ad we hope to see the day not far dis
tant when all will acknowledge it a wise
and just one.

WARE COUNTY’S VOTE.
For Governor— Xorthen 877, Peek'
Of the state election, outside of the
office of representative of Ware' county,
the Herald lias at present little to say
except to give the reported approximate
democratic majority of from forty to sev-
entythousand, over the combined people’s
party and republican vote. It would be
a democrat with ’water, not bloodjin his
veins who would not thrill with joy and
pride at such a victory did he know
it to be the honest expression of will
of the people.
But now comes the cry of fraud, and
wherewith have we to refute the charge?
We cannot say to the defeated minority,
“you were given your representatives
among the managers at the polls and
you cannot dispute the count.” No, we
have, through an arbitrary use of power
as the party in control, put the weapon
in the hands of our enemies with which
to rob our victory of half its joys, if not
to precipitate our beloved state into the
terrible throes ofa political strife such as
has thrown Alabama and Arkansas close
to the borders of anarchy. All the bitter
contention now inevitably ahead of us
could have been averted, by the recom
mendation by oar chief executive to ,the
proper county officers to permit one
her of the people’s party on each board of
election managers, in compliance with
the request of the leaders of that party.
We cannot but believe that Gov.
Xorthen in his zeal for party has not
only not held the scales of justice in an
even hand aa he was bound by oath to
do in the interests of all parties and all
classes, but we seriously fear he has
strengthened the ranks of the opposition.
There is nothing like the sense of wrong
to fan the fires of hate.
Again we say that even with the allied
strength of the republican and people’s
partieq, there was still a safe and sure
margain for the success of democracy in

Stultifying Themselves.
To a great extent the reciprocity proj
ect was a humbug. It was intended as
a sugar coating for the bitter pill of the
McKinley tariff. “What do we care for
abroad?* said Major McKinley,
us cultivate and develop the home mar
ket and leave foreign trade to take
of itself," said other leading lights of
Repnblicism. Yet in spite of these dec
larations of antagonism to foreign
trade the Republicans tacked the reci
procity sections to the McKinley law
with the pretended purpose of securing
new foreign markets for oar agricultur
ists and manufacturers.—Rochester (N.
Y.) Herald.

Republicans of tho wiser sort are
making strenuous efforts to lift the
force bill issue ont of the campaign.
Borne of the organs insist that the issue
is dead and that Harrison's letter of ac
ceptance will give it burial. The at
tempt is vain. The issue is clearly made
by the record and attitude of the party
and its principal leaders. The force bill
has been indorsed by Mr. Harrison and
the controlling element in the party

Bat what of the workingmen? How

Miles Monk is a gentleman whose
name is a household word in this section
of country. He is a man of the strictest
integrity and has the entire confidence
of all who know him. His farm is situa
ted seven miles from the county site, and
one of the most attractive places in
Colquitt. Mr. Monk was bom in Worth
county 59 years ago, and has been living
at hi* present location nearly twenty
five years. He cultivates aliout 190
acres of land, half of which he sows in
oats. He raises any quantity of fruit of
all kinds, lie pastures more stock than
perliap*|any other man in the county,
Mr. Monk is the father of 14 children
and is a consistent member of the Primi
tive Baptist church.
Six miles from Moultrie may lie found
the splendid home of clever John T.
Register. He cultivate* about 75 acre*
of land, and is one of the strongest men
in the county. Mr. Register is a native
of Colquitt and has an interesting family
consisting of 9 children and a wife. He
was in company B, 10tli Georgia Battal
ion, Lige Anderson’s brigade, and went
all through the four years of unpleasant
ness, 61-64, without receiving a scratch.
“A man would starve to death raising
cotton at present prices,” said Mr. Regis
ter, as we were leaving, after a very
pleasant interview. •
There are railroads ami rumors of rail
roads in Colquitt. The Quitman and
Albany railroad is lieing built and it is
claimed will be completed the early part
of next year. Beckwith A Rogers have
built a tram road out from Sparks, which
may at sonic future day become a i»cr-
manent road. The line as surveyed will
ran within a few miles of Moultrie.
These gentlemen are operating a saw
mill two miles from Sparks ami an-ex-
tensivc turpentine farm aliout nine miles
out, near tlie Little River.
Wheeler Norman is one of the lead
ing citizens of Colquitt. He is engaged
in the manufacture of* naval stores and
lumber, and runs an extensive farm. He
is also engaged in stock raising. Mr.
Forman is a candidate for representative
of Colquitt county on the l>emocratic
ticket. He is a strong man, and wil
make a lively race.
M. E. Nesmith has one of the most
attractive homes in the county of Col
quitt. He lives immediately on the
public road leading from Sparks to Al
bany, and his farm is in as healthy con
dition as any we visited. He is one of
the county commissioners and a deacon
in the Baptist church.
Much more might lie said of Colquitt
and her people, but we wil\concIude for
the present. The Banner county of the
Wiregra** is in.the procession and her
people will “get there” yet. D.
