Interesting Facts Gathered During the Week by Our
Regular Correspondents.
TURIN.
We don’t suppose that the farmers
of Coweta have any idea what a tnoun-1
tain of debt they are piling up for gu
ano this season. It is estimated that
Turin alone has sold $76,000 worth, and
Sharpsburg r/uite as much. If these
two towns have sold $150,000 worth,
the fertilizer bill for the entire county
will foot up over $1,000,000. How can
the farmer stand such a drain upon his
resources and prosper? Then add to
his fertilizer bill the debt for corn and
meat which he makes each year, and it
is surprising how he exists at all.
Add to this the annual tax burden,
(which is also increasing each year,)
not to speak of other fixed expenses
that the farmer has to bear, and it
must be admitted that his lot is by no
means an enviable one. Now is the
time for the farmer to turn over a new
leaf by raising more corn and meat
and less cotton.
Gov. Smith and his Prison Commis
sion delayed until the last minute the
important duty of buying a suitable
body of land for a prison farm, then
failed to agree upon a location. As a
consequence the white convicts will be
put on the public roads along with ne
gro felons. It strikes us that the new
penal system is an elephant on the
State's hands, and is the result of
sotpe exceedingly bungling and ill-con
sidered legislation.
When the Legislature meets in June
and a new Governor steps in, there
will lie presented for consideration
some very important matters. Among
them will lie the report of the commis
sion charged with the duty of investi
gating and recommending as to the ad
visability of extending the State Road
to the sen, and also the report of the
commission appointed to find a suitable
location for the proposed State Tuber
culosis Sanitarium. Just two more
elephants for the State to care for.
When the State allowed the old Macon
and Brunswick road to be sold, she al
lowed the best chance for an extension
of the State Road to the sea to slip
away. It would have been much cheap
er and more desirable to build the
link between Atlanta and Macon than
it will be to undertake the extension
now. Georgia never made a more
grievous mistake than when she al
lowed the old Macon and Brunswick
road to go on the block—but, alas!
those were the days when lobbyism in
our legislative halls was more potent
and influential than honest statesman
ship.

at all likely to regain their health unaided.

Judge I. D. Fairchild of
Lufkin, Texas, had two
houses painted, both same
size. One was painted with
a leading top-price paint,
and took 25 gallons. The
other was painted with
Devoe, and took only 15 ! 2
gallons. The “leading
paint” referred to is adul
terated 15'\', but is sold at
the same price as Devoe.
The most economical paint
always is the one that takes

and that’s Devoe.
