A company has bought a ne w spa
per outfit and ts.ll start up a paper at
Baldwin in a few darn.
The legislatßi c has made a busi
ness-like start and we hope to nco it
continue to the end.
We have added The Augusta News
to our exchange list the past wjsek.
The News is a newspaper being in its
lint year. It is a bright, clean, newsy.
Democratic paper and we welcome it
to our table.

It is said that 1100,000 bushels of
wheat are exported dailev froth Chi
cago. It will not take many months
to exhaust the supply and flour will
undoubtedly advance. With a small
cotton crop, a low price and the gold
standard, our people may expect hard
times next summer.
An exchange lets up on poltiics
long enough t cull attnation to the
following : ‘-About a year ago a young
lady at Oeve’a-id Tetn.j got a needle
imbeded in her waist. A few days
ago. it issu'd, the same needle worked
its way out of the arm of a young
man in another town. —Acworth Post.
McKinley is elected and we have
just as good a President as aay body.
It remains to ho seen whether their
promises ot good times will Come to
pass or not- We were promised ten
cent cotton if ho was elected and we
sincerely hope they will carry out
their promises.
Two or tlireo more elections and
perhaps our people may take a much
needed political rest. The Supreme
Court Judges will be elected in De
cember and Justices of the Peace and
Bailiffs in January and, if Atkin
nn is elect pil to Ihe United Suites
Senate, a Governor's election will take
place about May. We are opposed to
this last election anil hope .our legis
lature win prevent it. We believe
there are more men than one qualified
l* fill this office and Atkinson can
content himself in the Governor’s
chair.
A Funny Joke.
A funny joke, all the more palata
ble as its truth can be vouched for,
occurred in a prominent church in
Indiana. It leenis that a worthy old
lady had been very iudnstrious in sell
ing anew church book, costing awn tv
five cents At the service in question,
the minister, just before dismissing
thu congregation, rose aud said, “All
ye who have children to baptize will
please present them pert Sabbath.’
The old lady, who, by the w ay. was
a httle de2 r , having an eye on seboig
the books, and suppowng t'lo pastor
was refrring to them, immediately
j inped up and shouted. “All vou
who haven’t, eau get as many as you
want by cal’ "gomi'e at leveutvtive
tents uach.”
That
Tired Feeling
Makers you seem “alt broken up,” with
out life, ambition, energy or appetite*
• It is often the forerunner of serious ill
ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. It is a positive proof of thin,
weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it im
parts life and energy to every nerve,
organ and tissue of the body. The
necessity of taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla

to every one, and the good it will do you

Mr. Editor In your issue of Sept.
3rd 1896 Dr. V. ]). Lockhart jn allu
ding to a statement I made in giving
the bonded indebtedness that has been
accumulated upon the tax payers by
the leading Democrats was too much
tog.) undisputed, especially by a pos!
ed Democrat like beseems to be by
his composition.
Now, Mr. Editor, I would not ask
you to punt the whole thing over
again just to sat sty the Dr., but will
say to any wanting further informa
don that .Mr. Cox, who was editor fa
tl a‘ time, will say ho saw the report
ns T gave it. Ido not blame the Doc
lor for fighting the record. It is a
tough bit f Democratic literature to
have to meet, nevertheless it is true
lie disputed my 7 per cent bonds at
first. I see some otic* has told him
there was. 1 think a few more replies
from him find he will acknowledge the
the whole thing. He has given up
the public-school system I suppose,
as be did not mention it.
Now, Mr. Editor, there is no use for
me, when I have the record before
iru*. to he wrangling with a man when
lie disputes his own record; so this
will be. the last, I think, to Dr. Lock
hart as lie will not submit to facts.
lie says 1 Charge a great deal of
rascality. Now the Governor is Jirik
irs and he depios his taking SMOO.OOO.
IBs history says go and says it tvii?, a!*

failed to liuci ton cents that was left-
The Doctor said I faded to tell the
people what Governor took the money
so ho calls out his name. lie says
ono-fifth of that amount was not taken
1 repeat it ever, jinkins took ail tue
tax payers had paid in that was on
hand, except ten cents that wan aver
looked. Now as to the state sea!—
who would have picked it up in the
road? No one could use it except the
the state. That, in mr opinion was
only a pretense to get the money; for
if it had been paid back, tho historian
who said he brought the seal could
easily have said ho brought the money
with it. Is it not reasonable?
lie says as soon as civil govern
ment was restored, liukins and June
settled wuh Bulloch. Now listen t"
what Gov. Bulloch says about- it..
“Jenkins or Jones never made any
settlement with thu Republican state
administniti n I reft rned the seal lo
Gov. Smith and a Democratic Legis
lature, and Jinkins was beyond the
jurisdiction of the state." After he
went imio office he i>,J: “I have ntver
been informed or seen imv record
that either Jinkius-or Jones ever made
any statement of funds in their band
When Gin. Rug.-ir was appointed
Governor his Treasurer reported ten
cviiis in the treasury, which was over
looked by the absconded officers Jones
was 10-el cted by the Democrats, and
the fact was male known that he
was largely short during that term
and his housincn paid it large sum to
the state in settlement ot lbs ease
He was never ptnhdiad by ihe I)i n

From the Unit* the Stale Road was
coniDletcd until the Repub'icati look
charge u cost the tax payeivs a million
and a half dollars more for its expense
than its earnings paid into the ueax
ttry. When leased bv the Republi
cans, which kept it tindci that control
for twenty years, it paid the state six
million dollars in that. .ime. The fact
that the road belongs to the state at
all is due to the Republicans The
rate of taxes were less during the
Republican administration than it has
ever been since, and not near the
amount, of property to be taxed. Now
wo have *110,692,093 for 1895 with
a decrease of $18,350,830 from ISIH

Question.—Why is it that in Georgia,
many parts of which state are pecu
liarly adapted to sheepraisin?, there are
so few sheep raised? One would suppose
that if properly managed it could be
made a most profitable business.
Answkh. —ln southern Georgia there
are a good many sheep raised. Several
years ago one of the largest sheep own
ers there reported that Ire clipped an
nually 00 cents worth of wool from
c heep, which cost him only 11 cents a
tiead in expenses There is only one
reason why sheep husbandry is not one
of the leading industries of the state,
and that is, there is no law for their
protection again-t tho dogs which roam
at will through tho country. It has
been said by men of experience that one
aero well godded in Bermuda grass will
support five sheep nine months of each
year. This was on ordinary land, which
had not. yielded profitable returns in
other crops. For the remaining threo
months we have other crops, such as
rye, turnips, bujey, p itatoes and the
hardy native grasses, all of which can bo
grown in abundance. The sheep more
than pay for their keep in tho increased
fertility of land on which t hey are folded.
One hundred sheep regularly folded
will fertilise eight acres of land to such
a degroo as will enable it to double the
crops produ- od on it. Besides the added
value to the lands in tlitf droppings wo
have the crop of wool and the in reuse of
tho flock, which last may lie reasona
bly calculated ns Oil per cent of the
whole. Nor nro these all. The charac
ter of tho crops required to support the
slice]) are just tin.so needed to recuper
ate our too often exhausted lands. B ;r
--muvla is particularly adapted to these
lands and the grass roots serve to hold
the rc;l together and provent the w-sit
ing away, of the accumulating vegeta
ble matter Many worn fields could be
thus rehabilitated, that now offer no
encouragement to cultivation iu other
crops. We trust the day will dawn
when the present difficulties in tho way
of suecessful sheep raising will be re
moved, and instead of about 51X1,000, tho
present number of sheep in the state,
Georgia wiil contain at least 8,000,000
or 4.000,000. Our mild winters and
early springs give ns many advantages,
of which growers north of us are do
prive l. In sumo sections of tho state
tho sheep receive no attention beyond
tho annual clipping, and until the price
of wool was so much reduced they wore
ovon under this currle.- management
found profitable, if more attention
wore given to raising crops for them, to
improving the breeds, and to tho gen
eral care of tho flocks, there is no rea
son, except tho one mentioned, why
sheep raising should l'.ot be made profit
able in our section. An experienced
sheep raiser in Southeastern Georgia
once said to me, that it was cheaper in
that section to raise a sheep than a
chicken, because tho chickens had to be
fed, while the only attention the sheep
received was an occasional salting.—

teeth. The first ye;-..-, eight small teeth

two teeth of much larger size tako their

four large teeth in front, on each side
of which are two small, pointed ones.
In the fourth year, this process is re
peated, the animal then having six large
teeth in front, flanked on each side by
one small tooth. In the fifth the
last of the small teeth are lost, and are
replaced by large ones, thus giving them
eight large front teeth. In the sixth
