Who wrote the Junius letter*?
That is a question which has (irritated
jhe literary anil historical 'vorlils for
mare tluiu a century. The authorship
of these famous tetters luis beeu re-
p,-, 1,1,1 us oue of the ereat unsolrablc
mysteries like the personality of the
.Man iu the Iron Mask and the fate of
Iuiuis XVII. It seems now, however,
afar the lapse of more than 123 years,
that discoveries made In iluKlaud with
in the past few weeks, totfotbnr witii
the wei'U of an expert tn handwriting,
hive settled the matter beyond a doubt.
Curiously enough, un American is
brought into the plot whereby the uu-
tboriup of die ieiui-ii
Its] ii seems by no miMUei impossible
that some of the letters were written
la this country and sent across the At
lantic, although their real author, while
emi'loylng an American kinsman ns
an a.miuuenslu, remained In lCugminl.
The lirst letter keariug the signature
ct Junius made Its appearance tn the
Pulil.c Advertiser tn llugluml for No-
vuubcr 21, 17IJS, but It was not until
the following January that the regular
aeries of political attacks over this sig
nature commenced with un assault oa
tlie characters of die I)uko of tirufton
and Lord North. Junius boasted that
his identity would uever be discovered.
The letters, from the vigor nail clear
ness of their style and the bitterness
w,th which they attacked eminent pub
lic mm, attracted Ijstauf attention.
Junius, in bis opening letter hi Janu
ary li*ii>, said of the Duke of Lirafton
that "tlie ilnnnces of a nation sinking
under its debts have beeu committed
ui young nolilomau already ruined by
jtoj.' while 1/onl North was rbarac-
tertzed as "an object of derision to Ills
eunnlm and of melaucholy pity to his
friends." Hardly any name connected
with (he government escaped without
ifuny or abuse.
Ta.s attack drew out a reply from
Lr William Draper, tn srhtoh he called
upst Junius to usk pardon of "Lord
urnrnij ami Utis slioie ktr.fdntr. for
Mi abominable scandal." Letter fob

three comparisons which Mr. Inglls has

to ward off suspicion, although Francis
apparently was so careless as to allow
the proof to go out of his possession
bearing his natural handwriting ln wliat
Mr. Inglls calls "unoblltorated date."
The same paper contained Junius' ap
peal to Lord Camden, "In the name of the
English nation, to stand forth In defense
of the laws of hie country." This letter
wound up with the word: "I do not scru
ple to affirm that In my Judgment Lord
Mansfield is the very worst and most
dangerous man In the kingdom. Thus
for I have done my duty In endeavoring
to bring him to punishment. But mine

temple of Justice. I have bound the vic
tim and dragged him to the altar.”
The mytlery ot the authorship of these
letters, which a aeries of aactlents has
now. It appears solved at last, was ea
gerly discussed from the state of their
flret appearance. Hardly a single promi
nent statesman of tho time who waa not
himself directly attacked by Junius has
wanted champions to assert his claim to
their production. Lord George S.ickvllle,
Barre. Oration, Burks, Lori lavughbo-
rough. Olbtoon, Lord Chatham, Sir Philip
Francis Lord Temple and many othsra
have all had their supporters. Macaulay,
In hta essay on Warren Hastings; Stui-

ton, Dllke, Lerky, Massey and many
others have written on tne subject, with
out, In any way, settling the controver

Francis and his American couts. Tllgh-

the only living man who knew that Sir
Philip Francis waa the much-sought Ju
nius, snd that Francis took him Into Ms
confidence In order to curry on the de
ception. Ttlghman's disguised hand waa
a clever Imitation ot the natural writing

Farming when oonducted for profli
tsaumuch a buvlnestasany mercantile
pursuit. If business methods are not
pursued upon (he farm unnecessary
loss is bound to occur and possible re-
allsa.'.ons ot profits sire allowed to slip
by undeveloped. The extensive deilcr
with ample mehtu turn a mro-edged
sword to hew out profits for himself in
the concessions allowed to large pur
chasers und (lie cash chsco'c.ts besides.

products means ruin If he depend* on
one crop atone. A producer of a single
r:i'W material 1s usually able to com
mand i>nSy enough to keep body and
soul together. The small farmer, like
Che small merchant, must have larger
re'.urns on his capital or he cannot live.
The small merchant avails himself of
every passible mean* of "urntng an

said, sells 3,000 different articles, some
at absolutely a lass and others wt what
seems almost profit tf one Is so untousi-
neas-Uke us to fsM to calculate the un
usual expenses incurred In such a
business. The policy of the merchant
Is to Increase the sale of profitable ar
ticles and only sell those unprofitable
goods which are essential to 'hold his
trade. The amount of the latter are
unfortunately large, both for the mer
chant and fihe farmer, but the farmer
should Imitate the merchant and en
deavor to handle as many of the profit
able articles as possible. I wish to make
•x few suggestions of articles as proba
ble sources of profit to those ot our
farmers who are bold enough to strike
out into new fields of venture. The
beaten tracks are surer roads, but
shorter cuts to wealth over rougher
traits are otien sought. 1 ^ ^

oil of turpentine, the cheapest of them

Turkey supply us srtth the Ml* of rose,
lavender, geranium, heliotrope. Jas-

the price* secured per acre for these
crops are enormous. The magnolia nnd

It Is not found in (he market! of the

mate which produces (he fines: essen
tial oils. The farmers of Michigan,
Ohio and New York raise large quanti
ties of peppermint and distill the oil
from it. In Mtiryiind and Virginia
sassafras root th distilled largely for its
essential oil. Oil ot wlntergreen is dis
tilled In New Jersey and oil of spear
mint Is distilled extensively in several
Knees. The ra>n-voklttte- oils, linseed
and cantor oil, are pressed in large
quantifies from seed raised in the
Western states. It would appear from
these facts that there are possibilities
of profit from several oils in Georgia.
Just which will prove best adapted to
our cltmnte and the most practicable
only actual trial wl'.l Show. Our cli
mate is warmer and more equable
than that of the eastern or western
portions of the United mates, and can
produce many oils requiring u more
nwderate climate. Of two places pro

warmer of the two usually furnishes
the largest yield per ■»«.
PROFIT IN CATTLE RAISING.
In the lower poxitloM ot ttos state and
upon the sea Islands cattle thrive In a
wonderful way Upon one of these
Vdands an acquaintance raised n splen
did herd of cattle all sleek and fat, nnd
SOtd them at sn exesilem pruJii. IB
neither housed nor fed them through
the ndntsr, but they managed to keep
In good order on *ho 'Winter growth.
The cattle mature quicker In ouch a cli
mate than they do further North. The
beef was ss fine ns that from any
Western stock. Our wire-grass cattle
are often thin and tough, but even In
the wiregrasa regie nr there sre possi
bilities with judicious feeding snd aheap
cotton seed me.it and hulls and our
more nutritious grasses. Wkh our mild
altmnte cattle should find Uhls their
Ideal country. We hsve sotne onttir inf

It Is sent toy express packed in ice

tki cream we are bbHgoJ to ctrnrg* too

orestneries pay for express*ge and Ice

SHEEP IN SPITE OF DOOR
An acquaintance In scuhwest Georgia
tells us that hts sheep are his most
profitable Investment In Hptte of the
dogs, for which he puts dut poison and
gels from fifteen tn twenty at a time.
He lets tols sheep run uneared for, and
only rounds them up to brand and
sheer. If the business exists In sut h a
way. certainly the emploirment of a
shepherd would make R still more prof
itable it conducted bn a large enough
scale. Bugar Is now made successfully

has not been fully tried nnd the proper
variaUea selected for this climate. It
Should thrive here, ts It prosper* well
in France.
THE DESPISED DOG FENNEL.
Insert powder Is made from a plant
which belongs to the satne family aa
our dog fennel and would wry prob
ably do well with us. We could hardly
expect dog (ennel to db bolter than It
doc* In Georgia. Insect powder now
brings U cent* s pound, which would
be a alee price If we should llnd It as
thrifty In Osorgla ss the dog fennel.
In this day of fortunes made In chew

taete of our nweet gum. No on

have tried to grt turtles to collect It
Cor ourselves, but they said that every'
body Jlked It so well that when they
boxed the trees It was collected by oth
ers too rapidly for them to keep up
with the crop.

nually upon Vaco acre twenty-five tons
of stab.e 'manure and a half a ton of
cotton seed, t'nls amounting to seventy-
live tons of manure and one and a half

There was half a ton of common salt

marine plant The fertillxers put upon
such acre oast 1394 before any return

Of asparagus was sold from the five

minds to work, who wt:l sift the profit

A GHASTLY FIND.
Bodies of Several Confederates Found
In an Old Cave.
Parkersburg. W. Va„ Aug. !4.-Trout
fishermen, who have been camping In the
mountains of Clay county, made a ghaatly
find a few daya ago.
Two of the campers were hunting about
two miles from their camp on Big Syca
more creek when they came across a big
landslide that occurred some time ago.
One of the men climbed down over a cliff
to & flat place below and was astonished
to find himself standing In front of a deep
hollow nave, which extended under the
?!!? n»lt« a lifltsiiM Us •ntscsd th*
opening and found an oil musket. The
bayonet waa fixed on the gun, but the en-
Ure concern was almost destroy *d by rust.
Caiiiua i'» tils uuuiiftuiiuu. Us tvid Ulin
what he had found, and he scrambled
down to him. The men concluded to *x-
amlne the cave further back and ascer
tain, it possible, how tho old gun not
there, and In order to do ao safely they
made torches out of the dry atiefcs which
lay around them plentifully.
They hadNiot gone further than ten or
twelve feet before they found tbemnelvea
in an opening fifteen or twenty feet in
diameter and from four to twelve feet
high. On the shingle floor of the cave
they found three skeleton* enrapped In
what must have been at one time uni
forms, but wtilch at that time waa so rot
ten that they crumbled Into pieces wnen
touched. Two more guns*nnd several pis
tols of the old style muxsle-loidlng vari
ety, were also found, all of which were
covered with thick costs of rust. Several
coroded brm.«a buttons were picked up.
some of which were marked with the
lettera U. 8., while the others bad C. 8.
A. stamped on their face.
It is believed some time during the war
several Confederate soldiers with a fed
eral prisoncrhnd taken possession of the
cave as a place of shelter and that while
?sleep, perhaps, the surface earth above
had slipped down and covered up the
mouth of the cave, completely ..overlng
them. This was probably tlie case, as tho
ground showed Indications of un old land
slide. Nothing was found on or about
any of the skeletons to Identify any of
the bodies, which were taken out of the
cave and burled.

ly and altogether appropriate remarks
of our contemporary does nothing more
than simple joMioo to MnJ. llaron, hy
pluc’nc h>m In n proper light before
the people of Goorgtn. It but reiter
ates what !h generally asserted nnd ad
mitted hy :ill those who know him liest,
and that Is he Is far above the clap
trap mciimdn so commonly Indulged ;n
by professional politicians. It show*
conclusively to our m'.nd that wo have
In Maj. Bseoo n statesman rather thnu
a more polirainn.
His dignity ns n gentleman nnd his
lofty ideal of true statesmanship never
allows him to condescend tn question
able methods in conducting bis can
vass. In nil Ids speeches bo confines
himself to tbs studies Uob sad eluekta
tlon of true Detnrx-ratio principle*, and
in exposing tho fnltarles of those who
bavo been unwittingly h-J astray hy
designing men. wh(""' only object Is
the grutincothm of personal ambition
and un Inordtnats desire for olll.-e.
We with every voter, whether Dem
ocrat. PopiAtet or Republican, would
read the «b!o nrt eh we ailuae to. for
we confidently believe iluit it is calcu
lated to convince even tlie most preju
diced that Jlaj. Bacon's method of
speaking and cativaaslug is tho right
one. and will IcvwuipUsh more tn tho
end for pnre Democracy ih.ni nil the
mud slinging nod v mpeiatlon that
could be iroM during nu entire isillilc.il
campaign. Read the article. It show*
that Muj. Ban m*s stylo of addressing
the public Is the correct one. and proves
blni to t~' tn every way worthy of the

a third party tn the northwestern states.
Those who framed it claimed that they
were weary ot Republican oppression and
claas legislation. But st tne same time
declared they would not eo Into the Dem
ocratic party because It* views were too
Southern to suit Western Ideas. If they
saw evils In the Republican party, a par
ty long In poorer, why did they not Join
with the Democratic party, long out of
power. In' Ita attempts to correct these
evils? Hut they not only refused to shl
us In our efforts to reform, but organlted
a third party here In the 8outh, the home
of Jeffersonian Democracy. In so doing
they destroyed that grand organisation,
tho Alliance, whose original objects
portended so much good to the coun
try. while we were In peace and untty-
the third party came when victory seemed
sure for Democracy. Yet It came and
planted Itself. Had they put their forces
with ours tn 1B0 *11 over th* United
States, we would have had Democratic
senators enough to have re nedied all
evils snd redeemed all pledgee. But the
new party did not do this. They came as
obstructionists, not helpers. They came
to divide nnd weaken, not to strengthen
and solidify. Hence no good can come to
us of (he South for a party which comes
to weaken us and not to strengthen us.
If the promotion of the Southern Interests
Is In view, why not let us pull together us
tn (he past? Are we stronger when dl.
vlded? Then. too. the theories of the
third party are Impracticable. They some-
times rail their view* Jeffersonian views.
But Jefferson was a stranger to some of
thtlr wild vagaries. The leader* of the
third party propose an entire destruction
ot our financial system. Art we reedy Is
have our whole financial system in ifas
hands of political appointees? The third
party oppose# all stats banks snd offer#
as s remedy n system that will destroy
our system of exchange between Ate peo
ple. the state* and foreign .countries"

Gen. Evans discussed the allvsr qua*-

waa a allver party, and had alw:«y» been, eninew
’loosed demonetisation of sliver. Bllll
the party la not lor coinage of depreciated
money. It want* th* parity preserved,
but he believed the country could carry
more silver snd stop coinage when ts*
danger line we* reached. Gen. Erana
thought experience hod ‘aught ‘hat the
ratio ot II to 1 about aa correct aa poa-
xlble If It waa 33 to 1, the present dollar
would be but a half dollar and th* prac-
tlcnl effect would be to do away with tho

A Card About 'the Recent Convention:
in Fayette County.
To (he Editor at the Journal: Mjr
attention beta JuJt been called to a no
des in (he Journal of (he 13th instant
which eiye: "Maj. Bacon’* friends were
oonfldetft (hat Fayette county would
Instruct ft* representative# to vote for
him for United Staten senator, but the
county refused Co cfo so. It seems (hero
was a great deal or Interest taken in
the nratrer, on* or two speeches being
made In favor of the resolutions to in
struct for hhn, hut tho vote stood two
to one agatnet him."
Tho above notice ts not true. I was
one of the forty-five delegates to this
convention—(here being five frt>m each
district of (he county. They usaembted
It t (he purpose of com l null rut a candi
date for the leglslalture and eleo can-
dMiites for county commttnloner, under
a call from the Democratic executive
nommft'use of rise county. There never
waa ,i resolution offered Indorsing MsJ.
Bacon.' I did read a. resolution, a* a
matter of explonation, and so etoted
(pUiuty to the conversion, for the pur
pose of making a motion, and thaif mo
tion wus this: That the five delegate*
from each district, ns the districts were
called hy the secretory, report the
choice of the district for United States
senator.
The discussion was upon this motion,
wad It was lost by a small majority for
the reason that the .convention thought
ft Inuporttto to .take action In the inter
est of either one of the candidates ns it
might be hurtful to (the Interest* of our
candidate for the legislature, hlaj. Bu
nn wus (hen as tie ts now, tn my opin
ion. (he choice of a large majority ot
Che Democratic voter* of Fayette coun
ty for United Ktote*.senator.
