A oo!uw;;L'oxi>Kr. r r of the
nah Press, who sighs himself
‘‘Practical,” suggests that the
Elate authorities- he empowered
O) offer rewards as high a c
0011 lor the apprehension ol Hie
lynchers, ll this were done, he
t hinks lynching would soon be-
come “beautifully loss.” A dol
i. r mark, followed by a long
string of figures will do a great
deal, hut it will never he the
means of decreasing lynching*—
if expended as above suggested.
A few thousand dollars spent in
overhauling our crimnal laws
would, we believe, prove more
effective.
Tur press dispatches from
Washington published last Sat¬
urday, stated that President Mc¬
Kinley has announced that one
of the first-class battleships soon
lobe constructed by authority of
on act passed at the last session
of Congress, will be named
Georgia, as a compliment to this
State. This act of the President
should be doubly appreciated, in
view of the fact that there has
been no ellortmade, either in-
dividually or collective !y, by the
poojde ol Georgia to secure the
honor conferred upon this State
ii, naming one of the first
battleships the Georgia.
A Brother editor sums it up as
follows: “The editor riseth up
i:i the morning and knowefh not
what the day may bring forth. If
ho toileth all the news he runneth
a great lisle of having a tin ear
put on him, and if he telleth not
t!u‘ news the people say lie is n.
g., ami there is no joy in it. The
erafty man cajoleth him into
1 ig him a fifty cent puli’ fora live
rent cigar, and all fond
frown on him if he fails to flutter
their freckled-faced broods. And
all liis ways are ways of woo, and
hi' days are full of sorrow. The
insurance man settetli snares for
him, and on the whole ho ha? a
deuce of a t ime. 11
Gen. bawton has detailed a lot

i i I have just recovered from the
second attact of la grippe
year,” says Mr. Jas. A. Jones pub¬
lisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas
“In the latter case I used Cham¬
berlain,s Cough Remedy, and I
think with considerable success,
only being in bed a little over
two days against ten days for the
former attact. The second attact
I am satisfied would have been
equally as bad a* the first but

go to bed in about six hours after
being ‘struck’ with it, while in
the first case I was able to attend

lanta Anyone who sends one dollar for a year’s subscription to the At-
brated Semi-Weekly African Journal can get postpaid one pound of the cele-
Limbless Cotton Seed without charge.
A , pound , of these seed , will ... plant . , one-fifth or - an acre, and . witn ....
proper attention should yield enough to plant a crop.
The seed were tested in a list of thirty varieties by the Georgia
Experiment Station and a bulletin recently issued by Director Red-
ding shows that the African Limbless Cotton produced 70 pounds
more per acre than any other variety, and 161 pounds more per acre
than the average of thirty leading varieties.
The African Limbless Cotton produced 780 pounds of lint per acre,
which is nearly four times the average on the farms of the South.
This shows what high, fertilization and thorough culture will do
with these excellent Seed. The value of the product, counting cotton
at S cents and seed at 13 cents a bushel, was over S4S per acre. The
TheJournal docs not guaran t ee results, but the J) ? of the test
at the Experiment Station makes 1
it worth a farrr. X 4 file to test
these seed when he can get them for nothing.
