COTTON IS GOOD PROPERTY.
The Telephone lias advised the
the farmers from the first of this
season to be slow about marketing
their cotton crop—that it would be
Kftth more iatew on. So it has

Period as .gold.
The crop in Screven county is
turning out even shorter than had
been anticipated. It is generally
conceded now that it will not go
over one-third ot a crop. It is
probably about the shortest on
record. There are numbers of
farmers who will not gather enough
cotton to pay for the fertilizer that
was put under it. And many of
them good farmers, too.
It seemed that the move fertili
zer the fanner used this year, ‘ lie
shorter is his crop. It was no
fault of the farmer. Cotton’s evil
genius seemed to be abroad this
year, and put a blight upon the
crop from the very beginning.
This is an off year with our
8creven people, but w e will all
pull through, and next year the
pendulum will swing to the other
side.
✓
an unseen enemy.
Out from the swamps, from the
mud and mire, there has come to
feed and prey upon our people
through the latter part of this sum
mer, an unseen, but. unrelenting
malignant enemy. Lying
treacherously quiet in tlie daytime,
it has sent forth its thousands of
emissaries at night, to inject the
poison of its breath into those who
knew not, and could not know, how
to prepare against its coming. It
has made its pale mark upon many
lintels in our land, and has touched
with its hot breath innumerable
homes.
It has been a hard fight for the
past two months against this foe
that still liugers in our midst.
Only last week did the first suc
cor come. From the north, a
friend and helper appeared in the
night, and with his white arm
struck our enemy three heavy
blows, which, we trust, will leave
him helpless and stripped of his
power.
The work of havoc that this,
monster of the mud and slime has
wrought this summer—creeping in
with the mists and shades of night,
ought to satisfy his rapacious maw
for a long time to come. But we
should be prepared to light and
conquer him another season by
destroying the dens in which lie
loves to hide. If we will remem
ber, and prepare to do this in the
early spring, then this allegory will
not be in vain.
Once upon a time the old Ro
mans were stricken with a fever,
and they thought that it was
caused from the breath of a pois
onous monster that was hiding in
the marshes near the city. They
sacrificed, and prayed to Apollo,
the god of the sun, that he would
kill the dread monster with Lis bow
j and arrows, Apollo answered
them through his oracles, at id said
that if they would cut cfowfji and
clear away the swamps where the
dragon was accustomed to .hide,
that" he would then be able to see
him, and would slay him. This
they did with glad and ready hands,
and then Apollo, true to his word,
shot his silvery arrows—his bright
rays—down into the very heart of
the marsh where the monster was
lying, and destroyed him—so that
the people were troubled 110 .more
with his feverish breath.
MR. WATSON’S FAPER.
lion. Thomas E. Watson has
severed his connection with the
magazine that bears his name, and
will devote himself to editorial
work on the Jeffersonian, the new
weekly paper that he has started
in Augusta, Ga.
Mr. Watson did not control the
policy of the magazine, it seems—
that is to say, he did not own any
controling stock in it, and a dis
agreement arising between him
and the other parties interested, as
to its policy, he decided to with
draw altogether. The owners of
the magazine owe him a large
amount on his salary.
It goes without saying that the
Watson Magazine, without the con
tributions or even the name of Mr.
Watson, will cease to be read or to
create any interest in the south.
The owners it is said, will direct its
policy towards the support of Mr.
Ilearst and his new League in New
York politics. In this it will be
but following the same lines that
Mr. Watson had laid out.
Mr. Watson’s Jeffersonian will
doubtless gain a large circulation in
Georgia. He is one of the ablest
and most facile writers in the
country.
Bulloch county won the first
prize of eighteen hundred dollars
for the best county exhibit at the
Georgia State Fair in Atlanta.
Editor J. R. Miller, of the States
boro Mews, got up the exhibit, and
this is a tribute to his patriotism
and perseverance. /
A Beautiful Poem.
Bx>i to» Telephone :—Below yOu
will find a few very Confederate appropriate
lines in poetry on the
note These lines were found, so
'I have been informed, inscribed on
the back of a ten dollar Confeder
ate bill, on some one of the battle
fields of Virginia, and were written
by Major Jonas, and I request that
you publish them in your paper,
thinking it would interest some of
the readers of your paper, to know
how much this money represented
in its day to those who followed
Lee, Johnson, Jackson, Wheeler
and other noted Confederate chief
tains. Though for two or more Con
years before the fall of the
federacy, and of course of the fall
of this money, many of the follow
ers of the above named bad not
drawn any pay at all; yet it was
the best that our poor country could
do, and wo did not murmur or
complain. J. C. Overstreet.

Mr. Herman Bazemore, while
having a lot of cypress timber
fioated in Brier Creek swamp on
Monday last, fell from his boat,
striking a broken limb, which pen
etrated his thigh, inflicting a very
painful and ugly wound some three
or four inches deep. He was carried
home in an unconscious condition
and will no doubt be confined to
his room for two or three weeks.
Mr. J. M. Bazemore who , opened ,
school at Elmwood academy two
weeks ago, reports that the scliool
is progressing with unusual smooth
ness and the enrollment for the
first week was larger than the trus
tees expected.
The marriage of Miss Jennie
Christine Bazemore and Mr. Clif

interest to the many friends of the
popular young couple, both in Syl

a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Bazemore, and is a young woman
of many attractive qualities and is
highly accomplished. Mr. Scott is
a charming young man of sterling
worth and numbers his friends by
the score. The Rev. Chas. D.
Adams performed the ceremony.
