The United States Census Office will Publish Returns at Fre¬ quent Intervals During Ginning Henson, and in Time to beaf Im¬ mense Value to the Producers. Mr. L. C_. Toombs, of Lumpkin, has been appointed a local special agent of the Census Office t<» col¬ lect cotton-ginning statistics for this county, and we join the Gov¬ ernment in urging the ginners give Mr. Toombs their hearty sup¬ port and co-operation, thus enab¬ ling him to make prompt and ac¬ curate returns. We would impress upon the ginners the fact that this agent is a sworn officer of the Gov¬ ernment, and that their reports, are forwarded as given to him di¬ rectly to the Census Office, at Washington, without passing through the hands of any middle¬ men. The information given is held as strictly confidential, and the operations of individual gin¬ ners are not divulged. Upon the joint co-operation of tlie cotton growers, ginners, and local agents must depend the success of the t jpensus Office in this inquiry, and Us ability to render thi# great ser¬ vice to the Southern people and to all interested in the cotton staple. Th« Census Office has demon¬ strated iu three reports, the fact that the gippefs are ths only reliable source of informa¬ tion, as to the volume of the an¬ nual cctton crop. This is very oompliffientary to the ginners, who, no doubt, will feel a pride in sus ; taining the repntatiou earned. In recognition of this interest tfimwii by the gjnperg, and of } q general demand for more frequent reports through this source, Con¬ gress, in the act creating a perma¬ nent census office, provided for the oolleotion and publication of the ginning season. For the crop of 1902 the office will issue three reports; the first two will cover the quantity of cotton ginned up to and including October T8 and Decomber 13, respectively; and the final report will cover tlie to* tol quantity ginned from the growth of 1902. Realizing that the collection of the data for these reports js made at a season when tile ginners' time is greatly taxed, and appreciating the necessity for prompt return#, the Census Office has located, in each county containing ten or more ginneries, an agent, who will visit each ginnery in the county and seepre a report of the quanti* ty of cotton ginned up to certain dates. In undertaking the fre* quent and hurried reports nptv sought, it is of vital importance that the returns he made with ab¬ solute uniformity, and that all be received at Washington at one time. This result pe’dd not bo expected from individual request# made by mail 5f 30,000 ginners, at a time when they are engrogsed in their ginning work. Further¬ more, the Census Office must be kept advised of all changes in the management and operation of these establishments, and secure returns from all new and revived plants. To accomplish such re¬ sults, it becomes necessary for the to have local representatives who shall be charged with tlie of keeping iu close touch with the ginning industry in each and of promptly reporting the quantity of cotton ginned. The statistics for tlie October report will be collected during the week beginning with Monday, Oc¬ tober 20, and ginners should keep records ns will enable them to furnish promptly tlie required These returns will be tabulated, and the result published within week from their receipt at Washington. Cotton statistics collected through the commercial system, however accurately compiled, fall short of the demand'of both producer and manufacturer—first, in that as they cover the quantity of cotton marketed between September 1 of one year and August 31 of the fol¬ lowing, they are not statistics of a LUMPKIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18. 1902. 9 Miss Ida.

The Strike is Sett tad, Washington, Oct. 16.—The great anthracite coal strike is settled at last. A commission of six persons, with a seventh, Mf- PftVTOll P, Wright, as recorder, will adjust differences betwemi operators and miners. President Mitchell of the miners 1 union will take the neces¬ sary measures to call tlie strike off. The President will urge im¬ mediate resumption of mining and operations arc expected to begin next week. Announcement that tho great strike was off was made by Secre¬ tary Root with exuberant good hu¬ mor at the Wiiite House shortly after 1 o’clock. Perils of Civilisation. Some time ago, wo heard that a German explorer found in a re. mote nook of the West a tribe of Indians who lived in a state of na¬ ture, practicalfy raimentle##, and who were virtually free from dis¬ ease nf any kind. Another tribe was invaded by cowboy# who per¬ suaded lln-m to wear store-clothes, and, presently, they were decimat¬ ed by maladies hitherto unknown to them. And now wo learn that the Navajo Indians, originally in superb health, are plagued with stomach troubles because, it is supposed, they use a process clvili*d biead-making known to man and a pernicious eliemic.il compound. Civilization is a glo¬ rious thing, but, like living in New York, it comes high.—Augus¬ ta Chronicle. FARM HASI) AND GOING? A Florida man who has traveling in the West, the of groat farms and ranches, brings back the startling information that farm hand is doomed, and the farm horse will disappear him. Indeed, the Florida nW» quite sure that the passing of two necessaries of the farm has ready begun and is quite well vanned. Machinery is taking place of man and beast, engines and electrical motor# a doing the work formerly ed by hands and horses lie and they are doing it at a saving to the farmer. We learn from our Florida friend that u cently per footed traction which gets ils power from line, is proving very popular on the big farms. This engine small, compact and easily man¬ aged. It is not half as large as the old-style steam traction en¬ gine, but is twice peaiioniioaf as strong find very much moj-p will pull a gang of five or six sub¬ soil plows, such as are usually drawn by two horses each, and, because of its steady, untiring, mi: balking work, will accomplish more in a day than could be done by ten horses and as many men; and it requires but thfep pipp jo run thfllitMe engine, Nut only will it pull plows, but it will run the reaper, binder, thresher, feed cut¬ ter and other machinery, and when the train harvesting i§ oytq: it will puil a of wagons from the farm to the market. With the substitution of ipq tffiinp labor for iinimtv! labor,ftlmre is no necessity for the farmer to employ hands to get up at 5 in (he morning and feed the hors#!, jp anticipation (if iWf »>afd ;dgy’s work, tiipce po jmfsp# gfo |i«fca §a= ry, AH the farmer has to*do is to pour some oil in the tank of the machine, strike a match, and his motor is ready for jlie doxy before jt. The post of the gasoline trac¬ tion engine is about $1,000, bpt lif¬ ter the first pust the expense is slight as compared with the keep of horses. It may be true, as opf Florida ffipptl concluded, that farm hands and farm horses will become fewer year by year on the great farms of the West, where machinery ean be profitably employed. In this sec¬ tion, however, we expect to see the “hired man” and the ‘critter” pp ; gaged for mapy year# iu tilling the soil. The tendency in other than the great prairie sections, as shown by the recent cepsps, is rather to wards email farms than great ones. In the South the great plantations years ago are being broken up into small farms that are cultivat¬ by families. Machinery to re¬ place animals cannot profitably be employed on such farms, Menu* while jt is a fact that tlie South¬ ern farmers, and especially those of Georgia, are keeping up with tlie march of progress in the use improved and lujior-saving de¬ vices for the preparation of their lands and the cultivation and har¬ vesting of their crop#. The day may come when Dobbin will be turned out to grass for good and all, and when the automoble will ail the plowing, grinding, haul¬ ing and carrying tho folks to meet¬ ing, but the time is not yet.—Sa¬ vannah Morning News. jQm VtE SAY $ GUARANTEE RO0TPILLS To cure SICK HEADACHE, HABITUAL CONSTIPATION, and all diseases arising from In¬ digestion.

THE PROSPERITY WAVE. _ Accord.ug . tlie New Yovk oor ri's jKiiulenL 1> tlie Pli i lnd‘-l ph ia Press tlie opinion is rapidly gain¬ ing ground in that city that the crest of the wave of prosperity lias passed, and that tin-country is at t: "' ginning of ;l period of d> pt'ession. There *s i. t appear he ve O T good ground fur this °P>iiion. Jt seems to lie the result Pa ^ ier °f a feeling of depression 6 rmv ' u g °ut of the coal strike and labor trouiiles, and of ti e difficulty in getting money to enr ry on speculations on the scale that they have been conducted during the last year or two. The tight money market has continued longer than it was expect'd it would, and there lias been a wry general fall in the prices of stocks. It is not believed, however, tlial there ha# been any decline in the intrinsic value of stocks. Shrewd buyers have been saying for months that stocks were too high, and that there would have to be a decline. No doubt this belief 1ms been shar¬ ed by bankers, and they have put up the interest rate in order to speculation. When stock encounter difficulties jn, getting money for gambling in they begin to give expres¬ to gloomy views as to the of the Then* im doubt been ll great tunny labor troubles of one kind and another during the last year. Only those which assume large proportions pro mentioned In the public prints. This unrest of labor, however, is undoubtedly due large¬ ly to the combinations which an pi. tnl >§ 111! the while making, and from which Immense fortunes are made. In the recent strike in Nmy Orleans, for instance, it wn s open¬ ly said hy the strikers that there had been recently put upon the Street car system of that city many millioiis.of additional bonds and stock, and that, ton, without any improvements that increased the earning value of the property. They felt that the interest on these additional securities was to be made by increasing the burdens of labor. They felt that if the own¬ ers of the property were itiuking so much by their financiering they ought to share their prosperity with their employes, That feeling is apparent all over the country, and it is at the bottom-of the un¬ rest of labor. If it could be demonstrated that the coal operators were not making more than a fair profit on their in¬ vestments it is doubtful if it would be difficult to bring about a set¬ tlement of the coal strike. It is asserted that the coal operators, get enormous rates of freight on coal. The statement is mude that while the rate8 on other kinds of freight have been reduced more than 22 per cent, within the last ten years they have been reduced only a little more than 7 per cent, on anthracite coal.. There is no doubt that capital is largely re¬ sponsible for the unrest of labor The thought is thrown out in connection with the opinion that the crest of prosperity lias passed, that the action of the Democracy of New York in putting the plank in its platform favoring govern¬ ment ownership of the Pennsylva¬ nia coal mines is having a very de¬ pressing effect upon the public mind, bocause it seems to fore¬ shadow troublous times in tlie near future. It is difficult to see why that should foreshadow trou¬ blous times. The discussion of government ownership of railroads and telegraph lines was in progress before the present wave of pros¬ perity came, and it is pretty cer¬ tain that the suggestion that government acquire the cite eonl mines will have nothing to do with causing it to pass. It is stated that there are in New York who are turning their stocks into cash in expectation of hard times. It is doubtful if there is any truth in that statement. Such statements are matte for stock jobbing purposes. With good crops and all the industries running at their fql\ qipftoity, tliut there hard is no rea atm fnr saying times are to be expectod in the near future. —Savannah Morning Nows.
