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.

An inch of rainfall is an immense quality. There are 6,272,640 square indies to the acre, and an inch of rain on at: aero would be equal to 82,(522.5 gallons, weighing 113 tons. There is said to boa representa tive in Congress from Alabama who has never made a speech or offered a resolution cr a bill. lie draws bis'pay promptly and is very popu lar in his district. The introduction of the electric light into the factories at Macon has created n stir, and probably a large hotel in'thu ciiy will also use it. Senator ’Blaine has prepared a bill to reduce letter postago from three to t wo cents. It, is said that Mr W W Corcoran, of Washington, has given away in all $3,000,000 in private charities, and that this was about three-quar ters of his fortune. Senator Whyte, of Maryland, has introduced a bill in the Senate auth orizing the purchase of one of Gen: Washington's swords for $20,000, to exhibit at the Yorktown celebra tion, New York owns two ot VV ashington's swords. Andrew Jackson said: ‘'Plant your manufactories by the side of your farms, and yon will cover your country with blessings."

We have long been urging ths enactment of a registration law in Georgia; and cannot see why any Southern State could want its State officers elect ed at the same time with members to Congress, when in all probabili ty the polls will be surrounded with troops, and every voter subjected to the arrogance and intimidation ol partisan deputy marshals. —Rome Courier.
