“Ripples” Replies.
I will let the Journal of the House of
the lust General Assembly speak for
itself in regard to the Department of
Agriculture, Hon. W. Y. Atkinson and
Commissioner Henderson, leaving an
intelligent and enlightened public to
judge whether or not “Farmer” has
placed Mr. Atkinson in a false light as
regards his acts and doings in the last
General Assembly. The reason I do
this is because “Farmer,” in a former
letter, asked the question: “Where did
‘Ripples’ get his information,” etc.
Consequently, I had to refer to Mr.
Atkinson’s official record in the last
Legislature, which necessarily brings
his name into this discussion. I know
the gentleman is more able to defend
himself than I am; at the same time, I
feel it my duty to make the best de
fense I can, and the first witnesses
I shall put upon the stand will be
Commissioner Henderson and the Jour
nal of the House.
“Farmer” says that, “on account of
some remarks having been made on the
floor of the House reflecting upon the
management of the Agricultural De
partment, the Commissioner of Agri
culture asked the Legislature, in writ
ing, for a thorough investigation,” etc.
Now, what are the facts in the case?
There was complaint made on the floor
of the House concerning the inspection
of fertilizers only, and no complaint as
to anything else, as the following com
munication from Hon. J. T. Henderson
will show:
“To the Honorable Speaker of the
House of liepresentatives of Georgia:
Charges having been made on the floor
of the House of Representatives con
cerning the inspection of fertilizers,
which are of a damaging nature to me
in my official capacity, and calculated
to impair the confidence of the people
in the system of inspection, and the
usefulness of the department over
which 1 preside, I therefore beg,
through you, respectfully to deny the
correctness of the charges and to invite
a thorough investigation of the whole
system and plan of inspecting fertiliz
ers by a joint committee of the honora
ble Senate and House of Representa
tives. J. T. Henderson,
Commissioner of Agriculture.”
Now, it is very evident, from the
foregoing, that Commissioner Hender
son did not wish the investigation to go
any farther than the inspection of fertil
izers. I don’t know positively, but my
recollection is that Mr. Atkinson was
one of the parties that “made remarks
about the inspection of fertilizers on
the floor of the House;” and yet
“Farmer” says “he never opened his
mouth, as the Journal discloses.” On
page 480 we find the following:
“On motion of Mr. Atkinson two
hundred copies of the minority report
from the Committee on Agriculture
were ordered printed for the use of
the House.”
Now, does this look like Atkinson
“never opened his mouth,” or sat si
lent?
“Farmer” accuses me of short-sight
edness. I think he must be somewhat
moon-eyed himself, else he could have
found the above item. All of the
above relates to the inspection of fertil
izers. We will now notice a general
investigation, and show what Atkinson
did in that matter.
Mr. Atkinson offered the following-
resolution, (page 1040 of the Journal,)
which was read and adopted:
“licsolved, That his Excellency, the
Governor, be and he is hereby request
ed to furnish this House an itemized
statement of the expenses of the De
partment of Agriculture for and dur
ing the last two years,” etc.
On page 1202 we find that the follow
ing message was received from his Ex
cellency, the Governor, through W. II.
Harrison, clerk of the Executive De
partment;
“Mr. Speaker: I am directed by his
Excellency, the Governor, to deliver to
the House of Representatives a com
munication, in writing, with accompa
nying documents.”
The message was as follows:
“Executive Department, }
Atlanta, Ga., October 14,1SS7. j
“To the House of Itepresentatices: In
response to the resolution of the House
l hereby transmit the original quarter
ly reports made by the Commissioner
of Agriculture to the Executive Depart
ment for the period of two years to Oc
tober 1st, 1SS7. J. 13. Gordon,
Governor.”
Upon motion of Mr. Schofield the
message from the Governor was taken
up and read.
Upon motion of Mr. Atkinson two
hundred copies of the messege from the
Governor, and accompanying docu
ments, were ordered printed for the
use of the House.
Now, if 1 have made a false state
ment concerning Mr. Atkinson’s con
nection with this matter, I was misled
by the House Journal, “Farmer’s” main
witness. * ‘Farmer”says that I am claim
ing credit for Atkinson for what he dip
not do, and for what he does not de
serve; claiming what is not true, and
that the Journal of the House shows be
did not try to do, and what he could
not have done had he tried. Now, this
is equivalent to saying that the J ournal
of the House, the clerk of the Execu
tive Department, and Governor John
I>. Gordon are not worthy of credit.
“Farmer” says the “expenditures of
the department are hedged in and
closely. I have seen lawyers draw up
orders for the Judges of our Superior
Court to sign, and have never yet seen
a Judge read an order before attaching
his signature to it. And so I guess it is
with the Governor.
Why didn’t “Farmer” mention Bul
lock, Conley, Moses, and a few others,
if he wanted a strong string of Gover
nors?
Suppose the Legislature does appro
priate $10,000 annually for the Agri
cultural Department, is that any reason
why Commissioner Henderson and Mr.
Redding should not misapply the same
in traveling to and from conventions of
weather observers, etc., at Washington,
D. C., at a cost of $99.87 for one trip?
The Legislature never intended that
the people’s money should be squan
dered in this way.
“Farmer” claims to be a friend of
Atkinson; but is he sincere in his friend
ship? If he is, why did he say the
Journal was silent concerning the part
Atkinson took in the investigation of
the Department of Agriculture? He
could tell what Henderson and others
did in the premises, and why did he not
refer to the pages of the Journal and
tell what Atkinson had done ? Instead
of this, he tries to ignore Atkinson’s
record, while holding Henderson up in
the best light possible. This sort of
friendship is worse than a jug of water
or a pitcher of ice under a member’s
desk in the Georgia Legislature.
“Farmer” tries to justify Hender
son’s extravagance by showing that wa
ter and ice are also purchased for the
use of the members of the Legislature.
1 have never been a member of the
Legislature, like my friend “Farmer,”
but I am well assured 'that the mem
bers of the Legislature do not issue ice
tickets, nor rent wells, nor buy toilet
soap, or read political newspapers at
the expense of the State. If they do, I
guess those papers are on file in the
legislative department. I wonder if
Commissioner Henderson keeps the
Macon Telegraph. Atlanta Journal, and
Augusta Chronicle on file in his depart
ment? Ordinaries, Clerks and Sheriffs
are required to keep files of newspa
pers containing the official printing of
the county, but I presume they pay for
the same out of their private pockets.
I hope “Farmer” will give us the law
authorizing the Commissioner of Agri
culture to charge his railroad fare to
the State when he attends a neighbor
hood meeting of citizens, not assem
bled in a conventional capacity.
I will say to “Farmer” that lean best
answer his questions by propounding
others, and will do so if he will give me
a little time—although his catechism is
as long as the ten commandments. I
will remark, further, that I am not dis
cussing any Governor’s record—none
but Jack Henderson’s;—but after I get
through with him and anybody tackles
Governor Gordon’s record, I will give
them down the couutry. Ripples.

The Agricultural Department.
It has been considered strange that
the chief opposition to the Agricultural
Department comes from agriculturists
—from those engaged in farming. And
it is a conceded fact that in our Legisla
tures, some of the most unrelenting op
ponents of the department are members
who are farmers. There are very worthy
and honorable exceptions to this, I
know. But, still, great opposition comes
from this unexpected source. These
members oppose the department in ev
ery way—are ready to cut off appropri
ations to it, and sometimes ready to
abolish it entirely. And the depart
ment has to rely frequently for its chief
defense and support upon the liberal-
minded men in the Legislature of oth
er professions—lawyers, merchants, etc.
Strange as this may appear, at first-
thought, it is easily accounted for. Pro
gressive changes, improvements, ad
vancements, in any profession, have
their strongest opponents inside of that
profession. This is the case even in
what are called the learned professions.
It has been said that the greatest refor
mations in law, in this country, or in
England, have been resisted by lawyers.
They look upon the changes as useless
or perhaps injurious innovations; so in
the medical profession. The practice
now, in many respects, is entirely differ
ent from what it was 00 or SO years ago.
It is conceded now that many people
were killed by the methods of treatment
that then prevailed. It is thought by
able medical men now that Gen. Wash
ington was killed by the treatment he
received at the hands of his physicians.
This treatment had prevailed for cen
turies, and perhaps had killed its thous
ands, and yet physicians were reluctant
to give it up v They liked to move on
in the old ruts, and could not well get-
out- of them. They had great preju
dice against a change. Bonaparte said
it was easier to conquer an army, than
to conquer a prejudice. Now, if we
apply this view to the subject before us,
it will throw great light upon thisoppo-
i sition amongst farmers to the Agricul-
! tiiral Department.
So far as this question is concerned,
there are two classes of farmers. One
class is progressive, keeping abreast of
all improvements in their vocation, and
ready and anxious to receive light from
ail sources that can be shed on the
science of agriculture. There is anoth
er class, and a large one, who are the
useless and worthless. In fact, they
consider all these means of improvement
in farming as a reflection upon their in
telligence as farmers. What!—start
anything of that kind to show them
anything about farming! Haven’t they
been raised on a farm ? Didn’t they
grow up getting all the knowledge that
could be found out about farming, and
knowing all that could be known about
it? Didn’t their fathers “carry a pump
kin in one end of the bag and a rock in
the other?” In their estimation, all
these efforts for improvement in agri
culture are not worth a cent. What
good can they do ? Can they make corn
and cotton grow any better? These are
the men we read of, who, “having
eyes see not, and having ears, hear
not.” And many are in this class that
don’t know it. They imagine they are
liberal in their views, and yet the idea
lurks in their minds that they know
enough about farming, and that they
can derive no benefit outside of their
own knowledge. And “Ripples” must
pardon me if I put in this class all men
who think that “Grier’s almanac is of
more service to the State than two such
concerns as the Agricultural Depart
ment.” Now, this class of farmers are
always ready and willing to hear the
department abused; with them, abuse
of the Agricultural Department always
gains favor. The severest thing that
can be said against the department
meets their approbation, and the sever
er the more they are pleased. The
greatest tirades of abuse and censure
that can be heaped upon the depart
ment and the commissioner is relished
by them, and the} 7 are ready to make
the response, “Them’s my sentiments.”
Now, some men are ready to take ad
vantage of this, and regard it a conven
ient way of obtaining a little cheap pop
ularity. With this state of things, the
veriest little wliippersnapper in poli
tics can carp and harangue against the
iniquities of the department, until he
lashes the feelings of this class into a
wonderful excitement, and raises
against the department a prejudice
which the ablest arguments of our
wisest men can avail nothing. Of
course, on this wave some float into the
Legislature. And, then, to keep up
their consistency and meet the expec
tations of their constituents, they fight
the department. This is a complete ac
counting for and explanation of the
strong opposition to the Department of
Agriculture, which is found amongst
some of the farmers of the State, and
which shows itself in the Legislature,
and often amongst some of the mem
bers who are farmers!
Sometimes men of the class of farm
ers referred to derive great benefit from
the department without knowing it.
Some new or improved seed of some
valuable farm product is introduced by
the department, and after a while they
fall into the hands of some of the oppo
nents of the department, and they
don’t know where the seed came from,
or how they were introduced into the
State. An enterprising and liberal-
minded man adopts a good suggestion
from the department, and his neighbors
around him adopt it. And some of
those who are opposed to the depart
ment see the benefits and advantages
arising fx*om it and adopt it, also; and
they think it a wonderfully good thing
they got from their neighbor, and that
no such good thing could come from
the department. For example, the
Furman formula for making compost
has been adopted and used by thous
ands of farmers—some of them opposed
to and prejudiced against the depart
ment. The benefits derived from this
formula by the farmers of the State are
beyond computation. And yet few
know that almost the identical formula
was published in the reports of the Ag
ricultural Department of Georgia two
years before Furman adopted it, and
perhaps was adopted by Furman di
rectly from the department, or received
from some oue who received it from the
department. A Farmer.

chased a bottie from Moncrief & Bro., Pres

THE WORLD CHALLENGED.
To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood. Remedy, B. B. B., we make bold to
claim the following special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists
ot the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never
been equaled in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can he felt sooner than by t-lie use of
anv other remedy. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are
willing for B. B. B. to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood
remedy, we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it.
They lire eloquent'tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of your
neighbor who has tried our great remedy. Here are the certificates :
A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and Now Entirely Well.
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarcely
walk-,and was in pain nearly ail the time. At
night could not sleep for the excruciating
pain. The bone iu one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many uii-
icrent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when I bad to gi% r e up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com
plaint, advised the use ol your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism.' I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might rel ieve me, but not having
much faith in it, or in anything else; but,
thank God, I am very mucti relieved, and I
firmlv believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and 1 am in no pain
whatever. Am at work again, and have been
for several days. Can run up and down file
stairway in factory as nimbly as ever. 1
thank you for this, earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because I feel grateful for what
has been done for me. I am yours, very
truly, W. A. Moore,

cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to

purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation. That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan

called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot-
tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my giri’s leg was entire
ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore
on the calf ot my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and believe in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four

I have been a practical druggist in Tyler ,or
a number of vears, and iu that time liava had
occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect
of nearly all the highly recommended prep.ar-
ationsor patent medic nes on the market, as
I have suffered untold misery myself, the past
number of years, from a severe form of in
flammatory rheumatism, and could find
nothing to cure or relieve me. I had almost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or less frauds until about one year
ago, I was induced by a friend now living in
Tvler to trv a ^reparation known as 3 R., or
Botanic lllood Balm, and after a long per
suasion on his part, I finally made up ray
mind to make on.- more effort to rid: myself
of the terribl6 alflictioni and now it affords
me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to
the citizens of Smith county that l am entire
ly cured, with no traces of the disease left,
and aU effected bv the magic healing proper
ties of K. B. B., which I consider the grand
est, purest, and most powerful blood remedy
known to man. I have been subject to vn-
flamrnatorv attacks since ten years-of age,
and up to the present time have had four.
The last spell came on me in November, l»8o, \
over a year ago, at which ime I was confined j
to my bed for eight weeks, passing the nights 1
in misery, with no sleep except wlien produc
ed by narcotics and various opiates. The
week previous to using *B. B. B. up to that
time I had only eaten six meals am. could
scarcely sit up without support; but after us
ing three bottles I was able to relish my
meals and to walk up town, and after six bot
tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en
tirely cured, and not the slightest pain mlt
since that time. When I returned to business
in February my weight was 145 pounds, but
oTaduallv increased until my regular weight
was again attained, 210 pounds. The noticea
ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is,
that this unparalleled and remarkaole dis
covery B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at
the very time mv sufferings and misery were
the greatest. I fake it on myself as a practi
cal druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as
eo"scier.uously, recommend this glorious
blood remedy to all sufferers from rheuma
tism or blood troubles, and not only myself,
but the firm of McKay <fc Adams, who haud.e
it, will cheerlnlly indorse its superior merits.

A lady friend of mine has for several years
been troubled with blimps and pimples-on ber
face and neck, for which she used various
cosmetics in order to re move theffi and beau
tify and improve her complexion; but these
local applications were only temporary and
left her skin in a worse condition. I
I recommended an internal application—
known as Botanic Bleed Balm—which I have
been using arid selling about two wears; she
used three bottles and nearly all pimples
have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and her general health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can.
recommend it to all who are thus-affected.

‘I SAVE UP TO DIE.”
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2, 1887.
I have had catarrh of the head for nearly
six years. I went to a noted doctor and lie
treated me for it, but could not cure me, he
said. I was over fifty years of age and I gave
up to die. I had a distressing cough ; my
eyes were swollen and I am confident I could
not have lived without a change. I sent and
got a bottle of your medicine, used it, and
felt better. Then I got four more, and thank
Godl it cured me. Use this any Way you
may w.ixh for the good of sufferers.

This is to certify that my wife has been in
bad health for eight years. After trying five
doctors and six or seven different patent
medicines, six bottles of your B. B. B. has
cured her. James W. Lancaster.
ALAPAHA, Ga., June 22, 18S7.—B. B. B.
Company, Atlanta,. Ga.—Gentlemen : I had
suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia
for over fifteen years, and during that
time tried everything I could hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s
bills,, without receiving the slightest benefit,
Indeed, I continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm)
and I began usingjt; not, however, expecting
to be benefited. After using half a bottle I
was satisfied I was being benefited, and when
the sixth bottle was used I felt like a" new
man. 1 would not take $1,000 for the good it
has donb me; in fact, the relief that I derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would
have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, THOMAS-PAULK.
