Columibus supply merchants, it
is said, will look to a farmer’s corn
crib before letting him have sup-‘
plies another year. Farmers who ‘
have raised no corn this year viilll
be cut off. i
Those who have full cribs can
get whatever they want. This
should have been done years ago
by every supply merchant in the
state, Merchants more than any
other class can influence the plant
ing of corn. When the merchant
‘requires the promise of a certain
number of acres of corn to be
‘planted before he makes advances
they will be planted and if he dic
tates a certain number of acres of
cotton it will be planted. So the
responsibility for the present con
dition is largely due to the influ
ence of the supply merchant.—

Hon. Emerson H. George.
The Macon Evening News says:
It will be no surprise to the people
of Georgia to hear that the case
against Hon. Emerson H. George,
in the superior court of Morgan,
has been nol prossed. This di
rection was given jto the matter
last week at the request of Solici
tor General Pottle, who declared
there was no evidence whatever
against Mr. George to sustain the
charge of subornation of perjury.
We say that this disposition of the
matter carries no surprise, because
the public, and especially the
friends of Mr. George, did not be
lieve he was quilty of the accusa
tion. It was claimed at the time
the charge was made that it was
born of political prejudice. In
common with a host of Georgians,
we congratulaté Mr. George on
his prompt and complete exonera
tion.
Mr. George isa leadig 'lawyer
in his section of the state. .= He i 5
an able and successful practition
er, and possesses the esteem of the
people of his own town and coun
ty, and the respect and regard of
all who know him. He is one of
Georgia's most talented and am
bitious young men, and as a mem
ber of the legislature he has ren
dered the commonwealth dietin
guished service. If life and
health are spared him, we are
confident that his coming years
will be full of honors and useful-

An Old Map.
Mr. J. ]J. Parrish has in his pos
session a map of Georgia made a
bout 1830. The total population
of the state at that time was 516,-
567. There were only 76 counties.
A place called Franklinville was
in Lowndes county, and that
county comprised all the land in
this section, there being no Ber
rien county at that time. There
was a town in Dooly county
named Berrien, and it was the
county site. Milledgeville was
the capital of the state. Irwin
ville, Thomasville and Bainbridge
are among the towns on the map
now in existence in South Geor
gia. The map, whichis a tour
ist's pocket edition, is a splendid
piece of work and was published
by N. Augustus Mitchell, of Phil
adelphia. Mr. Parrish’s father
owned the map in his life time.—

Immigration South.
The facts presented in the last
issue of the Southern Farm Mag
azine, showing the trend of im.
migration to the South, have at
tracted wide attention threughout
‘thc country and called forth much
«discussion in the leading papers of
the North and West, as well as in
the South. Typical of these ex-,
pressions is the following from
{ the Washington Post:
. *‘The naturally rich Southern
States with their piratical mono
poly of the cotton markets of the
world in additon to other wonder
fully rich natural .resources. that
have not heen developed, offer a
field for investment of capital and
for the investment of honest labor
with a certainty of reward that
has attractions strong enough' to
break down race prejudices or so
cial. walls, - Men go where a mon
ey reward for toil beckons them,
and the South offers more induce
meats in this line than any other
section of the footstool. The
\whiw man is learning that in no
othergart of the world is industry
iso liberally rewarded, and the re-{
sult will be that in a very few
years the burden of the work in
the ' rejuvenation .and develop
ment of the South will be per
formed by white men. The ne
gro will be forced into competi
tion with a restless energetic class
of bread winners and given to un
derstand that shiftlessness spells
hunger. That condition is devel.
oping in the South more rapidly
than is generally appreciated. Its
final development will do more to
solve the race problem than all of
the combined efforts of heroists,
North or South.
