Wanamakkr A Bkown,
Philadelphia, Pat
Judge W. B. W. Dent, at Monday’s
session of Justice Court, had on his war
paint and other regalia indicative of ju
dicial dignity. After calling a list of the
jury lie found that a couple of jurymen
were absent without leave. He prompt
ly imposed a lino of $z upon each of the
delinquents, with the warning that if
the offense were repeated lie would as
sess the statutory limit—forty dollars.
He says if jurors have no respect for
tiie court’s mandates, thoy must respect
the law creating tho court.
Newnan has long held the palrn as the
best cotton market on tiie Atlanta and
West Point road, or any other inland
town. Evidence in support of this claim
is voluminous and convincing. On Tues
day afternoon last Mr. Ben IJ. Tliornp-
kins, one of Hoard’s most extensive far
mers, drove into town at tiie head of a
wagon train containing eighteen vehi
cles, and carrying forty-one hales of cot
ton. He was Immediately surrounded
by a swarm of cotton buyers, and it is
scarcely necessary to add that lie ob
tained the top of the market.
Mr. C. K. Russell, of Turin, lias on ex
hibition at Hardaway A Hunter’s store a
stalk of cotton with 118 grown bolls.
Here appears to be something like a so
lution of tho cotton problem at low
prices. When a good stand of cotton
can he obtained it is generally admitted
that one boll to the stalk will make RIO
lbs. of seed cotton per acre. Then, in an
increased ratio, fifteen bolls to tiie stalk
means 1500 lbs. of seed cotton to tiie
acre. Divide 15 into 118, representing
an acre which will average this number
of bolls to tiie stalk, and tho result is
7 1.8 15 hales per acre, which, at 5c. per
pound, will aggregate a money value of
about $170. It lias been duruoustrated
that five bales of cotton can he produced
on a single acre, and yet tho maximum
productive capacity pf this area has nev
er been fully tested. Plant only a few
acres, give the best possible culture, aud
the results cannot fail to bo remunera
tive. Adopt this plan, raise grain and
forage for home consumption, and hard
times will come again no more.
A l'opullst Hally.
Col. Carey J. Thornton, the Ropublico-
Piqiiilist candidate for Congress in this
district, arrived in the city Tuesday af
ter and soon boeaine tiie center of
an admiring cotorlo of -colored constitu
ents. it wuh given out that he would
spenk in the court-house on Wednesday,
and the appointment was extensively ad
vertised. A preliminary caucus, or cuke-
walk, or something of the sort, had boen
arranged for Tuesday night at Wllkin-
son’t hull, hut tho Colonel was fresh
from a throo-duys’ scout in Heard coun
ty, and pleaded fatigue us an oxcusu for
not attending tho meeting. Ho re
mained at Ills hotel, whore hu was olos-
otod until late bodtlmo with some of the
“faithful,” of both colors. About H
o’clock Col. W. C. Wright, chairman of
the County Democratic Executive Com
mittee, called and requested an Inter
view. The roquoHt was granted, and
upon being admitted Col. Wright asked
Col. Thornton If ho would agree to a di
vision of timo with some Democratic
spoukor at his appointment on Wednes
day. The Colonel flatly rofusod, saying
it was “their” day, and that lie wouldn’t
divide time with anybody.
The spuakiug took place in tiie court
house at 11 o’clock on Wednesday.
About fifty white persons wore present,
ono-third of whom were Democrats.
Tho balance of tiie audience was made
up exclusively of negroes, and there was
a good crowd of them. The most of his
speech was directed to tho latter, and
they applauded him every timo he raised
his voice, whether there was any point
to his remark or not.
He was followed hy one A1 Y. Harris,
of Meriwether, who sawed tho air and
whooped for half an hour or longer in the
effort to impress his hearers with his
ability as an orator. He is a son of ox-
Congressman Henry It. Harris, and no
ono seems to know why he should have
turned against the party which has thrice
honored his distinguished father with
tiie nomination to Congress in this dis -
trict. Ilin singular courso rather excites
commiseration than criticism, though,
aud is generally regarded as a youthful
indiscretion which tiie paternal authori
ty has been unable to correct. Ilis
harangue on Wednesday was pitia
bly weak, in all tiie elements of forceful
oratory, being largely mado up of vocal
clatter and gestures.
The young man may have a future,
but he has certainly made a poor start if
he expects to achieve distinction or suc
cess as a political orator.
And tho meeting then adjourned.
