considerable length, which was interesting

Hm iv. J. Northern of Hancock county.
Ur Nortben said that he was suffering
much from a sore throat, and had he
k*wn that he would be called upon to de
liver an address, he would baro stayed at
home for the reason that, with such a
throat trouble, whatever he might say
aould give pain to himself and
bat Mile pleasure to hto hearers. For
twenty-live years he had been devoting his
time to farming. He paid agiowing tribute
to young farmers, snd said it was through
tom that the South must succeed. We
needed their hope, their cheer and their
methods. We need young men to take
hold of agriculture that we may have a
change ot method. We are told that the
cultivation of cotton is the ruin of onr
country; yet how are we to stop it.

Col. P. W. Alexander was then intro
duced and delivered an address on the
management, selection and protlta of Jer
sey cattle. He said that thirty months
ago he invested $780 in Jerseys, and he
wonld have no difficulty in selling them
for 14.000, to say nothing of what had been
made by the sale of the rich, golden butter,
which finds ready customers at fifty cents
per pound delivered to the express agent
st Marietta. He spoke of his love for the
mild-eyed beauties, and endeavored to im
press upon the young farmers the value of
cattle-raising, especially the blooded ani
mals.
Major 8idney Herbert then made n few
remarks about Jerseys, and mentioned

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TELL
Which Glde of Your Bread le Buttered—
With Suttcrlno.
The grocers and whisky men are dis
cussing the law regarding the sale of adul
terated food and drink. Judge Simmons,
In ids charge tu the grand jury, called
special attention to this new law, which
we give below;
“Section 1. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of Georgia, tliat from and after
tbo passage of this act, it shall not be law
ful for any person, in bis own right or as
agent for another, to willfully and know
ingly sell or offer for sale in this State, any
adulterated article of food or drink, unless
the package or vessel containing the same
bos. attached thereto, a true and correct
analysis of the article or thing therein con
tained, and notice thereof given to each
and every purchaser when such article or
thing may be offered for sale, that the ar
ticle or thing is adulterated.
“Section 2. And be it further enacted,
that any person or persons violating the
first section of tbls act shall
State.
“Sec. 3. Bo it further enacted that it
shall be the duty ot each and every grand
jury in tiic several counties of this State to
diligently inquire into any violation of the
ilrstsectionofthis act. and true present
ments make of oil violations of the same,
and it shall be the duty of the judges of
the Superior Courts In the State to bring
tills act to the attention of grand jurors at
each term of the court iu the several coun
ties of this State for two years next after
the passage of this act.”
Sec. 4. Repeals conflicting laws.
One grocer informed us that perhaps
butter was adulterated more than any art!
cle sold by him, but the word “butterine"
was branded on every keg of that article.
This is not in compliance with the law,
however, as the analysis should appear
with the name. The grocer said that in
some cases he was deceived himself in
butter, and that it was almost on impossi
bility to detect the difference. To prove
this, be went to the rear ot the store and
returned with two data of what appeared
to be bntter, and asked us to distinguish
between the false, and the true. Both
samples had a butterish look, a butterish
•mcfl and a butterish taste. We made a
haphazard guess at hia Ooshen, and suc
ceeded in guessing aright. He said he did
not sell much ot thebutterine; hesupplied
one hotel and a few boarding houses, but
very little was sold to individuals. It sold
for thirty and thirty-Qve cents a pound.
A drummer for one of the largest
grocery houses in New York in
formed us that so successfully
did the butterine makers imitate
the genuine article, that for along time his
house supplied its customers with large
quantities of bogus butter, and ignorantly
guaranteed every pound of it to be a prime
article of Gosben. By an accident the
fraud was discovered. The dairymen who
supplied his house, in order to compete
with the butterine makers, bad gone into
the manufacture, and were turning out an

Last Day's Proceedings of their Conven
tion In Atlanta.
The members of the convention met on
Saturday night to hear the annual address
before the Georgia Baptist Historical So
ciety by Dr. R. B. Headden, of Rome. His
subject was—'“Faithfulness to the Scrip
tures a characteristic of Baptists." He
treated the subject ably and eloquently,
and was listened to attentively by a large
audience. A part of the proceedings of
this meeting was tbe presentation of a life-
sized portrait of the late MrB. B. M. San
ders, who so notably assisted her di-tin*
S titihed husband in tbe management of
le domestic affairs of Mercer Institute
and Mercer University. Tbe portrait had
College, LaGrange, Ga. The portrait was
presented by the societv to Mercer Univer
sity in a short address by tbe presi
dent of tho society, Dr. W. L.
Kilpatrick, and was, in tbe name of tbe
University, reeelved, in a felicitous speech,
iv Dr. B.F. Tharpc, of Perry, a member
f the first graduating class forty years
ago. In hia speech he alluded to the days
of old, making the speech of the occasion,
one of striking interest. It so happened
that there was prasent Hon. I. 0. McDan
iel, father of our Executive, who was a tu
tor in Mercer University during the first
year of Its existence ana in Mercer Insti
tute during all the years of its existence, a
man yet hale and hearty at an advanced
age in life.
The portrait of Mrs. Sanders was turned
over to Dr. Battle, the able and courteous
president of the University, and now
graces the walls of Mercer.
Another aged Baptist layman was pres
ent at the convention, in the person of
Hon. Mark A. Cooper, now in his eighty
fourth year, and able to walk as erect end
in as stately a manner as in bis yonnger
and more active days. He was Invited to
a seat on the floor of the body, and re
ceived a public greeting.
MONDAY, 28TB.
On Monday a variety of reports were
read and adopted, at which I had a glance
only. A report on temperance was adopted,
which recommended local option in the
different counties.
The report on education gave tbo condi
tion of tour various, and numerous,
Georgia Baptist educational institutions,
male and female—so to write—and asserted
that, since the government had, in a meas
ure, taken in hand the matter of education,
the spirit of education outside of the cities
was at a low ebb; parents have lost much
of the interest end sense of reeponsibiiity
which thould animate them, and that to
the children a lack of interest in educa
tion had thus ibeen communicated. Dr.
Jones, of Virginia, who was present,

Sctfoola of Technology-
Horning News.
The Timet, speaking for England,
realizes the mistake the English people
have made in neglecting to give encour
agement to technical schools. In this
country these schools are located in the
Northern States. They have not yet
found a place in the South. The effort
made to secure an appropriation from
the last Legislature of this State for a
school of this description in Georgia
was a failure. There were a few men
in the Legislature who appreciated the
advantages of technical schools, but
many argent requests of a host of
friends, lion. F. D. Dismuke has about
consented to make the race for Repre
sentative of tliis county in tlie next
House. Col. Dismuke is ono of our
most prominent lawyers and has held
various offices, all of whicli he filled
with credit to himself and
to the satisfaction o( his
constituents. Ho was ordinary of this
county for several terms, mayor ot the
city, solicitor general oi the Flint cir

Congressman Hardeman's Speech.
Mr. Hank-man made an eloquent
ipeecli in Congress recently in behalf
if agriculture. Onr ill-usetl agricultu
ral interests deserve more attention,
more speeches on the floors of Congress.
Even our legislatures neglect this all-
important, this lifo-to-tHe-conntry in
terest. Our insolvent farmers, our
shattered agriculture needs a cham
pion, or champions, to fight for her
rights? advance her interest
and make laws to favor iter
ruined followers. It is an easy matter
tor Congress to hang for weeks on a
resolution to aid a monopoly in the
manufacture ol iron, whisky or any
other industry except agriculture, the
neediest ol all. The farmers in the
next election should have on eye to
getting some one who will do some
thing Tor tho advancement of our agri
cultural interests, she lias not even
“laid on the table’’ but has laid under
it long enough.”

CROP ITEMS.
Mat 3.—Ail quiet in our little city
since the fire. Clegg A Coney, on their
Dooly county farm, where they run
sixty plows and plant 2,000 acres in
cotton, say they will finish chopping
and plowing out to-day. Stands are
good and labor plentiful. Corn is
looking fine—about knee high. Mr.
S. W. Coney, the junior partner, su
perintends these farms and works all
ol them for wages, and says this is
something he has never been able to
do before—to finish chopping cotton
by the 3d of May. On the farm last
fall they killed 2tt0 head of hogs and
made plenty ol com to do them.
