TALBOTTON, TALBOT COUNTY, GA„ TUESDAY. FUSIUJARY 1,1881.
SMALL* PUtMS’
There arc thousands of planters in the
south absolutely poor from owning a
large quantity of land and paying taxes
on it, and wo doubt that there are a hnn
d c l carefully ditched and well manured
) 1 ices in .Mississippi,and a subsoil plow is
never seen. The best managers under
the piesent pernicious system ot holding
large estates and leasing them to tenants,
do not make three per cent, on capital
jiivosted and their estates are becoming
ess valuable every year. Their fences go
to decay, the land is washed m gullies
and grows up in mean grasses and briers,
and the struggle to pay taxes is fearful.
The land owners are really less lndo*-
pendent than any other class, while they
should bo entirely independent and
thrifty. They are eternally “making ar
rangmiients* 1 and begging ‘a lurnish.*
Making arrangements is borrowing mon
ey at any rate of interest the lender de
cides to exact,*and bogging a furnish is
agreeing to ship all the cotton to the
furnisher that he may get the commis
sions and 10, 20, 30, 10, 50, 00, 70, 80, 00
or 100 per cent profit on the supplies
furnished according to the risk taken,
F.veil at the above figures the furnisher
fails very often, and the reason is plain -
no legitimate planting business can bo
successful under this system.
It the landed estates are cut up into
small farm!", many of the evils referred
to above, will bo removed. The fences
will bo kept up, because the owner will
take an interest the tenant docs not.
For the same reason the briers, weeds
and grasses will bo kept under control,
and the washes stopped. The owner
will also feel that his greatest expenso is
m 1m ing competed to got supplies on
credit, and experienco will noon teach
him to raise all the corn, hogs, mules,
hoises, cattle, poultiy and soon that lie
can. lit' will make every aero of his
sui.vU place lell, and ho will not feel tlm
ta> '. Ho will save the manure and
learn the value ot deep and thorough
tillage. Jlo will, and lie desires to prosper,
and tin? planter who sold the laud will bo
ono independent from being relieved of
heavy faxes and a cumbrous decaying es
tate.
We know the objections that will bo
urged to selling out tho cotton and sugar
plantations in small tracts by those who
imagine they will starve unless they own
a thousand acres of briers, sedge grass
and gullies* It will bo said that tuero
are no buyers, and that the present own
ers are forced by tho necessities to lease.
Let the land owners decide to become
creditors instead ol b. ing debtors, and
there will i*o thousands of buyers. They
had far he! ter sell on credit than lease on
credit. J hvido up the big (-states into
small tracts, and sell on long time, the
deferred payments t< bear a fair rate of
interest, and the purchaser to keep tho
tuxes paid up* 'flic owner can reserve
a small tract for a home, raise all his food
supplies, and be as independent as a
peer ot England. Vicksburg Herald.
Education in the South.
Now Orleans Times.
Tho schools of the south wore
never inure prosperous than at pres
ent, nor Urn prospects for increased
prospei ily in tho future more en
couraging. The southern people
; ouurally are betraying* of late a
keener interest in tho groat oatiS'i
of education lliun at any former
period. This is evinced by the
proceedings of the teacher / institu
tes,held annually and semi-annually
in almost ail tho soul hern statesjby
the public speeches in behalf of
education—by the increased school
attendance —by tliu continued erec
tion of institutions of learning, and
last, but by no means least, the
bright, instructive educational pe
riod mala constantly springing up
at various southern points.
In no state, north or south, lias
the cause undergone a more pro
nounced advanco than in Georgia.
Her wtll-nigli perfect system ot
public schools is the pride of her
people and tho admiration of tiro
entire section. Tho report of the
state school commissioner, which
covers the slate's educational opera
tions from 1871) to 1880, lully justi
fies the foregoing, and i*, further
more, replete with facts giving
promise of still further improve
ment., but while Georgia is per
haps a little ahead in the honorable
race, her sister states are not lag.
ging. On the contrary, they are
steadily advancing, and t from the
present outlook the time is not iar
distant when their institutions will
vie with the boasted scats ,ol loan *
ing in the north and oast.
The Business Situation.
The Financial Chronicle says, it
is not desirable to take a rose Col
ored view of the business situation
which is not warranted by. the acW
ual facts; but even accepting
basis' it may fairly be said that tne
appearance of commercial and
financial affairs throughout the
country at the close of this year
is one of sound and healthy pros
perity, which has never been equal*
led. The danger ahead whenever
it may and evelop can ; hardly spring
from any inherent weakness or rot
tenness existing at the present mo
ment, but is more likely to arise
from going too fast. Some railroads
m v be built which cannot earn
their interest, wheat may he grown
[With ail the new land) till the
price goes to 80a90 cents in New
York, general confidence may carry
things upward unlil stock sells at
80,which have no hope of dividends
for ten years at least, Tho demand
for loans on new enterprises may
be so rapid that mori y will com
mand 132 per day for months to
gethor. All these possibilities arc
worth a passing notice.

Jas G Blaine will be Secretary of
