The production of rye in tlio
stale w s small, all hough well dis-

A Reform in Georgia Farm
ing.
W l ' primed yesterday an inter
view with Major J F Jonoa, of
Troup comity, which presented
Rome most remarkable facts. It
has been considered as settled that
the cost of a pound of cotton to
the farmer in tho south ranged
from eight to ten cents, depending
j somewhat upon tho conditions un
* tier which it was made. Major
Jones gives the details of a process
by which he has mad cotton year
after year at less than three cents
a pound, and Hays that tinners in
his neighborhood under the same
l system have the same or even a
better ieeord It is unimportant
to uncertain whether or not, the de
tails of his calculations are precise -
ly accurate. It is enough to know
that, lie has raised the average of
cotton production from one-third
of a bale to the acre to a bale and a
half to the acre and that by ex
changing a large plantation loosely
cultivated for a small ( farm well
tilled lie has paid oil’a seven thou
sand dollai debt accumulated un
der the 11 r-1 system, and laid by a
-u* plus in cash and improvements.
Me has struck tho secret of success
! ful farming in this one thing, and
jif the farmers of Georgia .vero to-
I morrow forced to put tho same la-
bur and expense upon the cultiva
iion of half an much acreage an
they now Hpread it over the result
would bo vastly hotter for them
and fortho state at large.—Exchange.

A Michigander who was riding
along the highway near Charleston,
Vs., a few days ago, came across a
negro who was grubbing out a

after a few questions about farm
products tiie Wolverin asked:
VVliat do you get for taking that
stump out ?
Just fifty conts, was the reply.
Ilowloug have you beon working
at it ?
Wall, nigh ‘bout a week, I reck
on.
And how much longer will it
take ?
Wall, I ‘spects I could finish it
to m rrer, but I reckon I won t do
it afore Friday,
Why ?
Wall, hoah am do pint. If I
finish it to-morrer an‘ git my motTs

Tub Pistol. —The Courier-Jour
nal, in a leader on “the abomina
ble pistol," says, wo would have a
tax of $25 levied on the vender of
fire-arms for every weapon sold; a
license lax of S2O on every person
who carries a revolver, and SSO fins
on evert | erson found carrying a
pistol without a license. In every
instance when a pistol is used and
a wound results it would be well to
si-nu the ofteoder to the penitenti
! urv for .-ix yea’s.
