County News Items l 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. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. G. 1’. Arnall is quite sick. Miss Alice Moses visited her parents here last week. Mrs. Mary Whatley, of Newnan, vis ited her sister, Mrs. G. O. Seroggin, this week.
