A MULE DROWNS.
On last Friday Major R M
Bullock had a fine mule to gT
drowned in the ford of South rivK
just below his honto—is-
Dick, and two negroes, started to
cross the river with two multo
hitched to a wagon. The recent
rains had swollen the stream con
siderably, but the waters had sub
sided and not apprehending any
danger they drove in .The rains had
washed the ford away, so that it
was over the mules head. Before
they could get them loose one of
them drowned, and the other
would have met the same fate had
it not been for the prompt and
he foie work of young Bullock.
The ford is now past crossing and
the road commissioners are hav
ing it fixed, hut since it has begun
to wash out this way, it will have
to be bridged to make it safe, and
we understand that Ordinary Dan
iel will have one built soon.

A CON si R\hA TIVE FORECAST
Among the many forecast of 1895
and attempts to prophesy what
the year holds in store for this
country, we have seen few so sensi
ble and conservative as that of
The Forum for January. It does
not make unseemly boasts, but
yet declares that nothing but _our
own folly need lead us to distrust
the future. It concludes with the
sage observation that we need not
imagne that we are not amendable
to the laws of finance and com
merce that govern the rest of the
civilized world. We quote the fol
lowing extract:
It is useless as it ss unnecessary
and indeed impossble to foroast the
future. Trade regulates itself.
What we need at the persent is
not speculation on the future of
commerce, so much as determina
tion to look our problems square
ly in the face as they arise, and to
maintain our credit at all hazards.
The condition olhthe United States
Treasury 2 mouthlvago was enough
to ma?Sr thk> patriotic American
blush. We need reform of course
—and the prospect now seems
brighter-—but we need also a set of
Congressmen who would appreciate
the argument that the credit of the
United States, strong as it is, re
quires proper legislation before it
become practically available. We
should never forget that sentiment
and fact are so intertwined in the
fabric of public and mercantile
credit as to make the drawing of
a dividing line imposible. If we
would have full confidence, both el
ements must be considered.
While the depression of 1894,
following the panic of 1898, has
proved a bitter experience for the
commercial interests of the United
States, nothing but our own folly
need lead us to distrust the future.
The problems before us are not to
be lightly regarded. They de
mand eareful, economic thought
and good fiaancial judgment. Nor
peed we expect at once a revival of
the volume of trade and prosper
ity of former years. Above all w#
must as a people forever abandon
the delusion th’t natures generosity
to us aod our own supposed supe
riority have placed us above the
financial and commercial laws
which govern the rest of the civ—
liized world.

SOME RESOLUTIONS.
The Kx|< u*e Account Greater Tlinn the
Income—l K inetly .mi sheeted.
Passed nuanimonsly by the house of
represen rati vos:
Recognising and deploring tho de
pressed condition of agriculture in this
state, and desirous of allevmtiug the
same, we offer the following remeily as
the souse of this committee:
We will waste no time m discussing
the cause. Tne disease is upou us, be
ing felt in every farmhouse iu (teorgia,
soon to reach tue center of "every town.
Our espouse account has beeu greater
than our iucoine. We must cut down
expenses or inerea.se the revenue, or
meet bankruptcy surely and swiftly.
Looking to cotton as our source of rev
enue, it is impossible to increase the in
come by increased production, wheu a
less than a small
find sow mi good land, witna Siewrfr
pasturing the" same or Qffcuttujg hay
aftdr removing grain. Then p:yp!lro
three fourths of your laud for Corn,
gronudpeas end flekfpeas; keep ooiidu-
Seed and manure*emu; It wilt not pay
to sell them at present prices. Plant
vegetables, sugarcane, potatoes, eto.
Do not plant over 10 acres of cotton to
the plow.
Do not nse any commercial fertilizers;
clean out the fence corners; haul litter
iu cow lots and horse lots, etc. We
have used 80 >,OOO. tons of guano this
year, costing about $0,000,000, taking
one-third of the cotton crop of the state
to pay for it. We recognize that It
will increase the crop, but abundance
now means poverty to the producer.
Why, we can’t understand, we simply
deal with facts. At a fixed price of 8
cents we would advise the use of
guano, but when increased production
reduces the price to 5 cents, then it ia
suicidal to nse it. It all cotton grow*
ing states would nuite with us (and w#
hereby implore them) and refuse to us®
guano next year, we would reduce the
crop in our judgment from 9,000,000 to
6,000,000 bales, and obtain more for A,-
000,000 than for 0,000,000 bales, besides
saving the guano bill. It is not profit
able to buy guano and pay for it with
6 cent cotton oven with a good cropt
with a poor crop it would simply mean
destruction. Buy no wagons, no bug
gies, no mules, nor horses unless you
ate out of debt and can pay cash; Boono*
mi 7.0 in every way.
The above plan will bring more hogs,
more beef, more milk and butter, more
chickens and eggs, more colts; would
require less labor, less expense, less anx
iety, lpss risk. It will bring more
money, pay back debts, bring peace,
prosperity and independence to the
farmers of Georgia and the south.
We would ask our fellow citizens of
©very calling to aid us in our honest
efforts for relief. We would ask mer
chants and bankers to be as lenient as
possible. The cotton has come and
gone, the bales were there, but the price
was lacking, though through no fault
of morchaut or farmer, we therefore
would counsel forbearance from cred
itor to debtor, for the farmers of Geor
gia are an honest, debt-paying pouffe,
and while many are now unable to
pay, it is not due to a lack of disposi
tion. We would ask our towns people
to buy all their supplies possible from
their customers. In mauy sections we
have bread, meat, beef, lard, corn, hay
and provisions of all kinds—enough for
country and town—and we would ask
onr merchants to encourage farmers to
produce these things by buying from
them instead of importing tho same.
In other words let our people have
among thomselvos as much as possible.
We have made the money, but sent it
away from home, never to return, until
we change our methods.
Ou this line we would say that our
cotton should bo spun at home; our
wagons made, buggies, shoes, furniture,
et§, so that money produced in Georgia
would stay iu Georgia. We would also
advocate any policy on the part of our
state that would lend to tlio upbuilding
and support of factories of all kinds in
our midst. Their employes would
furnish consumers of our products and
add valne to every acre of farm linpl
ill Georgia. We believe that packing
houses established in our largest cities
would pay. Lot them be established
and we will furnish the beef and pork.
By following the above suggestions
we believe that we can escape from the
slough of despond and the clutches of
poverty, and ere. long stand upon the
high ground of contentment and pros-
Our country is peculiarly adapted to
diversified agriculture, unexcelled in the
variety of its products, or the perfec
tion of their growth. We have water
power* and raw materials. Oar dimate
invite* all who would 4 > ftdd or factory
work. The opportunities are with u,
nd it is with us a* to whether wo use
them or not. We think we are on the
riaht direction with our technological
itchools, our common school® and col
leges. Onr town* will yet hum with
machinery uhder the direction of our
own boys, and the earth will yield forth
its more abundant fruit to the more eo*
lighter .ed touch of the husbandman.
We have an abiding faith in the
possibilities and the future develop
ment of our country. We wonld hasten
the day when contentment would pre
vail in the heart* and prosperity would
reign iu the home* of our people. Let
ns, therefore, to the work like men, be
lieving in the resource* at our command
aud an abiding faith in the wisdom and
justice of au all wise God.
In order to carry those idea* into ex
ecution and have them dissimulated
among the peopie, wo ask every paper,
daily and weekly in the south, to pub
lish them, and request that some patri
otic citizen wonld call a mas* meeting
at every county seat, regardless of
party #r color, aud advocate the princi
ples heroin set forth.
Property owners along Broad
river who own good manufacture
ing site®, should get in th® mar?
ket with their land®. Now i® your
opportunity.
