Amertcus, Aug. 4.—(Special.)—Aa
Items of news from all parta of the
country are relished by tho pulblo gen
erally I send you another letter from
this locality thinking the ttema there
in contained might prove Interesting
to the many readers of your valuable
paper throughout this part of the
state.
Since my lost letter to you I have
traveled over a large portion of south
west Georgia and urn prepared to give
you u correct report of the orops In
this part of tho state from my own
observation and Information obtained
from reliable farmers. In the first
place, there will ibe more than an av
erage crop of corn made—more than
enough to answer the demands of the
country for the next year. Beside,
tho Incoming cropa there Is a great
deal of old corn still on hand. The
early corn la already mode, while the
later planting promises a more abun
dant yield than that planted In tho
earllsr part of the season. The farm
ers now need a little dry weather to
kill crass and pull fodder. I saw acres
of oorn, both la Terrell and Randolph
counties that will certainly yield from
twenty to fifty bushels, and The yield
would have been much greater for the
drougl’b In May und June. 1 surveyed
a field of 100 acres of corn that will
certainly yield from 1,600 to 2,000 bush
els. As regards the cotton crops i can
only say 'Mat It la par excellent. I saw
one plantation containing 200 acres of
cotton, In Terrell county, that will
make a bale to the acre, so I was In
formed by the proprietor of the farm.
At the request of 'the gentleman own
ing this plantation 1 will withhold his
name. The plantation adjoining this
one will yield equally as welt. Sh'ould
no disaster beta! this crop It will be
the largest one That Iras been made for
the past 'ten years. Should the ralne
continue as they have for the . past
three weeks the cotton fields may be
come flooded, cotton may lose its fo
liage and havo the appearance of be
ing dead, but a few days of warm sun
shine on it will cause It to leaf out
again. Up to tho present writing, how
ever, I don't believe cotton ha» been
damaged to any extent.
The sugar cane, peas and sweet pota
to crops ore all growing finely and
promises abundant yields. Fat mules,
horses, hogs and cowa are to be seen
on all plantations. This ptate of affairs

The early morning nouns to tUe moun

Spartu, Aug. 4.—(Special.)—MaJ. A. O.
Bacon will address the citizens of Han
cock at Sparta on Monday. If he t.peaks
on the line of his Foreyth speech thoee
who hear him will be delighted. MaJ
Bacon speaks like a full, mature man
and not like so msny others we bear.
One recognizes at once a statesman, a
man of thought who has a message to
deliver to the people. He shows the er
ror of following Hines and Whtiton In
dividing our people. We have all to
lese and nothing to gain by division and
separation.
Henry G. Turner Is well spoken of
here and people say that they want him
returned to the house, where he Is so
valuable. Bacon Is Dreferred to WalBh
beoause Bacon Is better equipped for the
duties of n United State* senator. He
la equipped fbr all phases of debate anil
Is at home upon great legal questions
where Mr. Walsh would be at sea.
Then, In addition, he Is regarded as
such a master of parliamentary science,
second to none on the continent. Taken
all together, ns a lawyer, as a logician,
ns an orator, as a statesman, os a parlia
mentarian. he Is the best equipped of
any candidate for the responsible du
ties of a senator. He has a targe ac
quaintance with publi'. affairs, having
been oalled for several times by the na

them to conducting our national cam
