This comes from a truthful and liad'
irg journal of Atlanta: “Prohibition has
most positively done our oity considerable
damage. We have refrained from publish
iug the extent of the damage for four that
it would damage us more. Mow, don't say

The Now York Star, after announcing its
adoption of the eight page form, says: “It
will not pretend to what is oalled indepen

practice seems to be nothing except an
occasional betrayal of the principles tho in.

The Divisions to Come.
A Western journal says that "it is a e’ear
case that the F.ist and tho Weat of this re
public are drawing apart. Their interests
conflict in so many ways and the hearing of
the absorbing East is becoming so offensive
the producing West, that the bitterness
increases year by year."
It were well indeed if the feeling indicated
the lines quoted was merely sectional
jealousy aud capable of beiDg healed ty
wise legisUtion. But it is because tho in
terests of the two groat divisions of this
country conflict that the feeling exisU, and
laws can reconcile them.
It is an interesting story—the futuro of
this great republic, bounded by the two
great oceans and practically by the torrid
and frigid zones, and now filling np with
people of every race and religion of the
world. Looking forward a hundred years
human miud cannot determine with any
degree of probability what will be the re
sult of this experiment with conglomerate
millions sewn broadcast over such vast
stretches of territory. At present the very
race differences which hold these people
apart undoubtedly holds the Union as a
government more closely together. It may
be that this situation will furnish protec
tion for many years to come; we think it
But what will be the result
when this great people by intermar
riage, education and association shell
have become indeed a nation, when ideas
shall have become concentrated and whut
might bo cnlied Luo mural oeutiudgr.i prin
ciple has ceased? Clearly the first resnlt,
already foreshadowed in legislation and sec
tional demand, will be a division of the
country bused upon the laws of self-interest,
production, of manufacture, of trade and
olimato—a division in whieh like will
join with like. The real sections will then

the Mississippi river. Tho East will in
clude the whole Atlantio and Gulf coast
What is now tho South and North will be
come one in interests, snd the centre of
population and manufactures will be sonth
New York.
Tho division of the Sonth and
North was based upon an artificial law.
The South's system of slavery separated
tho two sections, and it continued nntil
borne down by tbe real laws of trade, oli-
mate, manufactures aud production, an
event hastened by the rapid settlement of
the West. Theswift obliteration of the feel
ing engendered by the war is due more
the operation of these laws than to any
characteristics of the people lately in con
flict. Trade, manufactures and interests
that are reciprocal rather than conflicting
have filled in the bloody chasm nntii it is
now shallow, indeed.
There can hardly he a close
anion between two great sections
situated upon the same parallels of latitude,
where in one are the ports, the coal, tbe
ootton lands, the ores, the farms, the tim
her and consequently the manufactures
and in the other, tho great pastures and
grain lands. Emigration is along these
of latitude, tbeae climate lines, and
here the straggle begins. Their interests in
stead of being reciprocal are bound at
last to conflict. Tbe laws that suit mann-
failure*, the system of hanking that makes
them profitable, do not always meet the
needs of an agricultural section. It has
been the rale the world over that the con
flict between ininufaotnrlng and ngticul
tnral districts ia always on hand and open,
Undoubtedly, in the coming division the
East will occnpy the better position. It will
be obliged to rely upon the West only for
its meat and grain, for which it will pay
price* to suit itselt pretty much, for these
products are necessarily forced upon the
market. For all else it has, through its
porta, the world to trade with,while iustesd
of being limited to one market or ita agents,
a* the West mast practically be, it can scat
ter ita goods in every country. Ita ship*,
ports, manufactures and great line* for
freight will bnild it up in itrength *a these
advantages have bnilt up England.
It is pleasant to reflect that of all Eastern
sections that which is now called the Sonth
has the choice of position. With all tbe
advantage* of the remainder,
baa tho land to make it independent in the
matter of food, the ooal and timber for
ita manufacturers and the great crop of the
world, cotton, to keep the balance cf trade
in its favor, and develop it* rail and ship
ping line*. .
The ideas roughly hewn may be better
expressed at soma early day. If, for the
present, they encourage onr people to look
more hopefully upon the future of these
State* of the South, they will have accom
plished enough to justify their expression.

Tobacco la iicortg a.
Tho State Agricultural Society has tent
the following circular:
Atlaxta, Oa„ September 17tb, 1886. Dear Sir:
dcA'rs to Impress spoil all who have
recently commenced the cultivation of tobacco In
Bute for market, tbe ircportauoe of proper care
harvesting and curing the crop. The profit! of
crop depend hugely upon the mannor in which
work Is done, and the prices nry accordingly,
from amounts that barely pay the coat of cultlva-
to snch as are highly remunerative.
The son-cured leaf, at wholesale rale, brings only
three cents per ponnd, while that which Is
cared by tbe line process commends from twelve to
fifteen cent! per pouod.
may be well to suggest hero, with reference to
future crops, that the farmers of a neighborhood
might nulte in the construction of barns, provided
with improved fumveee, where the product of
single forms will not seem to Justify snch expendi
ture, and also, if necessary, In employing an expert
M anperintend the preparation of the crop for the
market. Snch person might superintend the work
twelve or fifteon farms.
The climate and many of ths soils of this State
well suited to the crop, and It hsa been demon-
stmted, in the opinion of experienced mtnnfactur-
that nothing Is needed but a proper skill In the
manipulation of the crop to produoe a quality In
this State of the highest grade, hence if for want of
proper ha- dllng in the preparation tor market the
present crop should fall to be remunerative, we
ebould not bo discouraged, hat persevere until that
skill Is attained in curing as to produce such ra
the crop gives promise.
Directions for harvesting, caring end preparing
crop for market are given In the manual
bacco Culture, published by the Department of Ag
riculture. Coplee of this manual will be euppltcJ,
demand, to the farmers of this Slate, who are
engaged In the cultivation of the crop for market.
Very truly. J. T. flEmmantv,
Commissioner of Agricultui
The results of the experiments with to
bacco in Georgia this year are awaited with
mnch interest, and it is important that
those who have made them furnish the De
partment of Agriculture with the data upon
which to base auoh a report as will be of
value to the State. Those who have em
barked in the enterprise are requested to
state the cbaractertif the soil used, diame
ter of ita original growth, length of time it
has been in cultivation, tbe kind of crops
grown and amount of fertilizers used upon
the same land in 1881, the preparation of
the soil for the tobacco crop, length
rows and distance between hills each
way, the namo of the brand of fertilizers
used, if compost, the proportion and char
actor of the ingredients need and method of
composting, and the seasons, with their
effect npon the erop.
If this information is carefully secured, a
report based upon it will give just tho in-
formation needed by all sections. Many
men well versed in the enltivation of to
bacco are of the opinion that Georgia has
plenty of land that will produce abundantly
the best varieties.
Commissioner Henderson makes a good
suggestion with reference to the caring of
tho tobacco leaf, viz; tho employment of an
expert ny a neighborhood. Why not ex
pand the idea and let the neighborhood am
ploy an expert to teaoh the cultivation of
tobacoo, as well as the curing of it? Such a
man, any a successful North Carolina tobac
co miser, could easily anperintend the cnl
tivation of a doz-u crops and at the same
time teach the land owners the proper
methods. The expenses of such a men
wonld not be large, divided among twelve
planters, and wouid not bo incurred the
econd year.

The Financial and Mining Record goes
for Henry Clews, and the stock board,
relation to the Georgia bond business, in this
way: "In essence and purpose therefore what
is asked of the New York Stock Exlbsnge
is the very worst form of boycott, for it is
barefaced assertion to the people of Geor
gia that they shall not sell their bonds
hen in New Y’ork, however buttressed they
msyba by the faith and pledge of tbe
State, until the people of Georgia shall
forced to pay that which they say they do not
owe! If anch a step as this, so strennously
and potentially urged npon the Stock Ex-
change, be not an application of tbe boycott,
there is no snch thing as logic. And if the
Stock Exchange can lawfully be made the
instrument of the purposes of tha men
behind the above quoted paper, then it
plain that than is a law, and a vary differ
ent one, in New York for boycotting,
administered by the common herd of bakers
and car driver*, from boycotting as admin
istered by bankers and stock exchanges.

A Chimes for Judg, Cl.rk, to Charge.
Judge Marshall J. Clarke, of Atlanta,
when hs faced his last grand imiueat, was
suffering so much from a bowed down aonl
that, to the negloet of instructions laid
down in the code, he was compelled to
charge right on Macon.
If the learned judge can spare a moment
we will anggeat a cone npon which he can
do a little charging that may result in good
nearer home.
Several days ago a demented woman, on
route to the lnnatio asylum, was so brutally
treated by those in charge of her os to call
forth indignant protests from those who
witnessed the outrage, and oomments from
the press. The CartersviUe Courant, allud.
ing to this case, aays:
From Mr. Cunyn, we have tt that tha treatment
did not wholly com, from llarrl, or hlnuolf, bnl
•ay, that th, poor lnnatio waa maddened by the
ruUilese handling of tho poliooman at the earebed
In Atlauta, who, ho aaye, treated her ahamefnll)
Wr. Cuny ua acknowledged that the husband of the
woman atrnck bar allghtly *\o conquer her,” bat
for hlmeelf ho did not strike her a lick. He la vary
anxious for an tnvasligation, and doss not faar tho
result of ono.
It wilt be seen that Mr. Cnnyua, a deputy
United States maisbal, says tbat the outrage
was perpetrated by a policeman under the
earthed at Atlanta.
This is in the very bailiwick of hia Honor,
the charging Jmige Marshall J. Clarke. In
deed, tbe offense seems to have been com
mitted under the nose of his rampant jndge-
ehip.
Probably if he will gather his grand jury
together again and recharge them, including
this ease, the bra tea who maltreated this
unfortunate and helpless woman may
properly punished.
This is a circumstantial cate. Tho offense
ia located, the party making the aasaul
and the chief wiineese* to the outrage. We
shall see, if his Honor and his grand jury
are as much concerned about crime in their
neighborhood as elsewhere.
And while Judge Marshall J. Clarke is
a charging humor, suppose that he make
aortic on tbe quart jug of tha Atlanta beer
garden, and if it will not entirely exhaoat
hia Honor, he might instruct the grand
jury to look np the three Chinamen who
ran an opium joint in Atlanta, and who kid
napped a good littia boy and took him
the den on the Sabbath.
Perhaps, too, the James bank failare
might bear a little charging, as the officers
of tbe law seem never to have noticed
When fully recovered from the fatigue inci
dent to tbeae suggestions, we have several
more of the uni sort with which to load
bln charging honor.
