WHAT BA DZHOCKAT*
The foliowing from the Orlando (Fla.)
Sentinel completely fills the bill as to
our idea of what a Democrat should be:
We are glad that the question is being
asked in all seriousness: “What is tnie
Democracy?” From our point of view we
answer that it is a toyal, unflinAing, un
wavering adherence to the principles,
doctrines and candidates nominated and
enunciated by parly conventions. In
conventions true Democrats fight man-
lull/ for this doctriue or that, but when
the majority has spoken tbe decision is
final and binding. Tbe rajnority .may
not approve tbe decision, but if true
Democrats they will fight fi r it loyally/
steadfastly, unshrinkingly, and bide
their time until at another hearing or in
another convention they may be able to
,graft their policies into party platform*.
The mao who will sulk and shirk or go
over to the enemy because party decis
ions do not suit him i«, in our opinion,
aadly afflicted with big-head, or built on
the lines of Benedict Arnold.
We are sticklers for allegiance to par
ty mandates and party organisation, be
cause we cannot conceive of high attain
ments or permanent success in any other 1
way. A party is held to strict account'
ability for its candidates and platforms,
and only loyal members should be al
lowed to participate in naming one or
making the other. Men who “vote as
they please” should be barred from Dem
ocratic primaries and conventions. Men
who sulk or shirk in the face of the en
emy ahould be cast into outer darkness
at once and forever—or at least until
they repent.
We believe that a fair and open pri
mary is absolutely binding on the Dem
ocracy of a precinct, the county conven
tion on the> county Democracy, the state
convention on the state Democracy, the
national convention, as the court of last
resort, on the party at large, and a true
Democrat, from our point of view, will
support the organization from the ground
up, from the backwoods primary to the
stately gatherings where the beat aod
wisest ot the nation assemble to formu
late party creeds.
From our point of view, thereiore, a
true Democrat does not need any handle
to his name. It is enough for him to
be callei a Democrat. The plain, sim
ple word, rich in past associations and
achievements, does not need any quali
fying words or phrases. A “Gold Dem
ocrat,” so-called, glitter as he may, is
our opinion, is not a Democrat in the
broadness and fullness of the designa
tion, and the other kinds—“Silver Dem
ocrats,” “Cleveland Democrats," “Bryan
Democrats,” “David Bennett Hill Dem
ocrats”—impress ns as being of inferior
brands. Commend us to the Democrat
who has no handle to his name, no string
to his Democracy, no master except his
party.
The convention that assembled at
Chicago last year was a Democratic con
vention, regularly called and organized.
The platform it adopted must be accept
ed as Democratic doctrine; by it Demo
crats must abide; on,it Democrats must
stand flat-footed, and continue to stand
until another national convention gives
a new formulation of party faith. In
the meantime, the men who differentiate
themselves from troe Democrats by ac *
cepting only a part of the faith, or t>y
qualifying distinctions such as “Silver.”
“National,” “Cleveland," “Bryan,” or
what not, ahould be shut out of the in
ner fold. The one old, grand, historic
Democratic party is responsible for its
candidates, and ita platforms, for ita sins
of omission and commission. It wel
comes to its ranks all good men and
true, when the battle is on it welcomes
erery ally and fighter under its banner,
but the responsibility of naming Us can
didates and framing its policies cannot
be safely shared with all comers, with
fair weather friends, or those whose loy
alty and adhereuce are guaged by the
value of the spoilt in sight.

corn.
In consequence of the frequent and
general rains in July, this crop has im
proved wonderfully, and with season
able weather for two or three weeks
more. Georgia will raise sufficient corn
for her own ose. In the lower part of
the state the crop is practically made,
and in some places fodder polling has
commenced. In upper Georgia the crop
is in full “silk and tassel,” the stalks
green and rigorous and the prospect
very fine for an abundant crop. On
some of the river and creek bottoms
high water has done much damage, bat
this has been confined to small areas,
and will not materially diminish the
yield. The latter part of June the corn
crop was seriously endangered by ex
cessive heat and drouth, and there was
much uneasiness felt as to the outcome,
bnt timely rains bare averted the
threatened disaster, and we can rejoice
in the prospect of plenty of “hog and
hominy” for another year.

something of the winter legumes and
the best manner of raising them.
Answer.—Of the winter legumes
clover, hi its many varieties, is perhaps
the most important, but at the outset it
must be underssood that clover will not
succeed on poor land, nor even on good
land, withont careful preparation.
On heavy soils the red and white
sad alsike clover sncceed best. The
latter is a cross between the other
two. There is also the Japan clo

on every acre of stnbble land, and at
‘laying by” on every acre of corn land

will hear less of worn out and ex

is good, growing finely under the infiu-

Tbe acreage in potatoes is not up
to the average, the dry weather of Bfisy
and June interfering-with the planting.
Enough slips, however, have beau see

and these will be no scarcity of thfe
product.

The growers- of •most all fruit* have
been disappointed this- year. Water
melons from tbe shipping section 7 have
been small in tiae and fisw in npmber,
compared with former years, and. prices
have not proved remunerative.
The peach crop has proved a failure
we in a few favored localities? and the
total shipments from the state wall not
exceed one-fifth of the- usual quantity.
Plums yielded well all over the coun
try, and the grape crop now being har
vested, is a good one.
Apples are doing well, and. the crop
will be an average one.
The condition of stock is fairly good,
considering how much western corn
(much of it damaged) has been used in
the state this year. There have been a
few cases of glanders reported to the
department, some cholera among bogs
and red water among cattle, but these
reports are fewer than usual this year.
Sheep are holding their. own -about as
they have in the past, receiving little
or no care, and a constant prey for the
many worthless dogs which roam the
country in search of food. The high
tariff recently passed by congress will
add largely to the price of wool, and
other varieties will not tolerate. These
varieties, when once planted, if properly
treated; will f oruiah pasturage and hay
for several years, and cover the land
summer a» well as winter. A closer
analysis- of year question, however,
leads me to suppose that you wish to
know of such legumes as grow iu the
winter and die down in summer, thus-
leaving- the land free for other crop*.
Of these, crimson aod burr clover, also*
vetch and hairy vetch have been fonnd
most successful. The land should, be
broken deeply during this mouth aod
then harrowed and reharrowed until
fine and smooth If an incipient crop
of weeds appear* before time for plant
ing in September, harrow again. Apply
from 890 to 800 pounds per acre
of oottonseed meal acid phosphate
and kainit aad sow the seed at
the race 2& pounds to the acre, har
row or brush the seed in lightly and
roll tbe laud smooth—this last is most
important. These latter crops will sorer
the land daring the winter and furnish
green food through the early spring If
th* grazing or cutting is stopped in the
spring before the seeds mature these
will perfect in sufficient quanties to re
seed the land, aud after the crop dies
down the land oan then be planted in
late com or peas When these are taken
off the dormant clever seed will again

highly satisfactory in many sections.

QuranON. — I notice cotton stalks
wilting and dying in my field withont
any apparent cause. On> examination
I find the-roots rotten, aud some with »
white mould on them. What cause*
this, aud is there any remedy?
Answer.—The disease is- the “root
rot, ” and is caused by a fungus. This
disease has been carefully investigated
by the Texas Experiment Station, it be-
in? very prevalent in the central blaok
prairie lands of that state. Their re
port demonstrates that all soils are-
more or less subject to it, though it is
of most common occurrence in- lands
that are retentive- of moisture aad do
nos drain off as they should. The*com
monly entertained opinion that only
certain soils develop this disease has
been entirely refuted, and it can and
does occur oh almost every variety of
■oil The fungus has been fonnd on
plants only a few inches in height, bnt
generally does, not spread until the mid
dle- of Jane, or even later, wheat the-
plants are bkoning- and fruiting. Ik Is*
thought by many planters that dry-
weather checks this- disease, and close
observation partially confirms this. The-
fungus is nourished- by the living sub
stances of the root* which after a time>
die; and the plant* thus deprived, of
their means ot support, wilt and da
also* Experiments ah tbe Texas Stattoo
have- demonstrated.that this disease can
not be remedied orcheekedby the apptt-
cation of any known-anbstanoe to tkeeoil.
The-only thing to.do>is to resort to ass-
taring ot crops, planting the land that
in infected with the- fnngus, in such
crops as oorn. wheat, millet or other
members of the grass family, and pat
ting it in cotton not eftsner than oaee-
ini three or four yean. Some

subject to the attack of this fungus,, bat RQ<Mf
apparently only after they have been
injured mechanically. Alfalfa or So-
came is also subject to injury from this
fungus. Among trees the china berry
and paper mulberry are most subject to

Answer.—Like all other crops th*
fall Irish potato crop Is liable to dis
aster, but if the directions for manag
ing it, which have been so often pub
lished, are carefully followed, wo fhay
calculate with moderate certainty on *
good yield. As in all other marketable
crops, the skill which commands success
is as much in knowing how to sell the
crop as in knowing howto make it.
These fall grown seed for spring plant
ing at the south are so far superior to
the northern grown seed that there is a
good demand among our truckers for
this fall crop. The spring crop grown
from these’ seed is usually superior to
that grown from northern seed. The
keeping qualities of the' fall potatoes
also make them very desirable. They
do not spront in winter. We have kept
them all winter in hills precisely aa
sweet potatoes are kept and with greater
certainty. Also when planted at the
same time they mature earlier than the
northern grown seed. Another paint
in their favor is that tbe superior vitality
of the southern grown seed enables the
plants to survive reverses in the spring:
A frost, which will ruin a crop
from northen seed, will only partially
injure the others. The stems are stouter
and stronger. It is important if the
fall crop is intended for seed that they
