have been made, but, it: seems, entirely

.Tiie Times mentioned recently that
Mr. ('has. D. Barker, editor of the
Southern Star, a prohibition paper pub¬
lished in Atlanta, was in hot water for
disposing of transportation supplied by
the (la. Fen. railroad to members of the
Georgia Weekly Tress Association, and
which came into Mr. Barker's hands by
reason of his being its secretary. The
case was settled at the Brunswick
ing by Barker’s paying Gen. l’ass. Agt.
Haile for the traiispotation so disposed
of, and ret icing from the association.
Mr. Barker was an efficient secretary,
and, it is said, was acandiuute for presi¬
dent of the Association: and the Times
very grsatly regrets the affair above re¬
lated.
The Times lias never given the least cre¬
dence to tiie reports in the Yitiuil. La XU: it
case, beyond the statement that he was
drowned nt Tybee, as first reported. We
regarded all after talk ns a very poor
quality of sensationalism, mid hence nev
er referred to it in these columns. When
the Times can give news it endeavors to
do so; but to publish that which it does
not believe, and which lioboby else be¬
lieves, is out of its line. Of course Mr
Uasikk's friends and family would be glad
to know that he was still living: but such
n«kbeing the case, it is a grievous wrong
txfannoy them by repeating what sensa¬
tion mongers may be aide to get up on
H^Th an occasion. Viitrui. is dead, and
tli: is sufficient grief for his

TOO POOIt.
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear upon southern railroads by the
press of the South, to constrain them to
make such reduction in passenger rates to
the World's Fair as would give our peo¬
ple an equal chance with flip balance ot
the United States. A convention of
Passenger Agents, assembled in Chicago
last week, took up the matter and talked
about, it. but came to the conclusion
that our railroads were too poor just
now to make any concessions, and all
that was done was to make a reduction
of five dollars on the round trip, and givi
fifteen days instead of ten, as heretofore,
ll is stated that tiie $5 reduction is al¬
lowed by roads beyond ,he Ohio river,
and that southern lines have not nuflle
any at all.
It is to lie regretted that our transpor¬
tation lines are in such close circumslun
ces this year, and to be ho|>ed that they
will soon discover that loaded trains at
cheap rates bring in more cash than
empty trams at high rates. It is to lie
hoped that they will take a lesson from
some of our less prominent railroads,
which keep up business during the dull
season by running excursions at reduced
rates.

We notice lots of grass coining inti
this comity from the West, and yet onr
farmers have been doing their level best
for several weeks past to keep the
grass from running away with their cot
ton crop.
There is money in grass; hut there is no
money in wearing one's self otlt in an at
tempt to subdue it ia a crop that doesn't
pay,—as some assert is the case with the
cotton crop,—and then buying grass
away from home. An authority says
that there is more money in a Georgia
hay crop than in a cotton crop.
But this year the farmers should take
especial care to snve their own hay, and
save all they call. It has been a long
time, it ever, since grass has sold at so
big a price as it is now bringing; and the
prospects are that it will hold its own.
Hay is now selling in England at
$30 t o. $10 per F

on. It will, tliercfore, be impossible lor
those countries to cut any figure in sup
plying the European demand, and the
American farmer has never awn a better
opportunity to get his hands on some of
that gold tliat lie is kicking up such a big
fuss about.
It costs about $3 a ton to freight hay
to Kngland, wbeiV the very lowest quota
tion ;s fao a ton. It will beau ^asy mat
ter for the farmer to sin* the chance for
making something out of his grass crop.
On tlw other hand, the farmer that suf
t'ers his hay crop to go to waste in (he
field will have to pull the cash out of his
pocket to buy grass next winter and
spring, and he will then be the sufferer,
The high price of grass will not afford iiun
the least bit of coniiort. The only satis
faction that he can get under the cii-eum
stances will have to be found in getting
his fellow-sufferers together to join iu a
general howl against the railroads and
politicians, and that wont relieve him to
any gieat extent. He would better "make
hay w hile the suit shines," and leave tin*
growling for the man who suffers after
having done his best t > provide for all
his necessities.

THE C0JRT HOUSE QUESTION.
Fmit, Ga , J ELY 18, 181)3.
To the viti/.ens of Hulloeli county:
As a farmer, and not handling politics,
I have been approached bv my fellow
fanners upon the subject of a new court
house.
Tiie question is one that interests every
tax payer of Bulloch county, and forces
itself upon the attention of every citizen,
Our old court house is altogether too
small to serve the needs of our county,
not even affording comfortable room for
jurors uml witnesses. So we are in need
of a new building, mid should indulge no
unnesessary delay in erecting one.
But many of oar good citizens who
agree tli it a new court house is wanted,
do not want it where the old one stands,
and insist that it should be more cen¬
trally located. To change the location
of the court house requires a two-thirds
vote of the county, and if accomplished
would work serious injury to many wor
thy citizens of Statesboro, w ho have
their all invested in that tow n.
But let's look at the other side of
a little. No ipieHttoi,, a new

assessment upon
^^fl^^dand he county. But 1 find
responsible men, owning
land right near the centre of the county,
who make this proposition: Will donate
land for all public purposes, including
court house, jail, cemetery, churches and
school houses, and then appropriate the
round sum of $15,000.
Now which is the fairest, to tax the
widow and orphan, as any one else, and
build .a new court house at Statesboro,
not in the center of the county, or have
one iu the center of the countv costing
the county nothing?
1 have not handled, nor do I expect to,
the question only in the interest of my
fellow-citizens, and in justice to every
man in my county. I desire no, ,o have
the ul will of any one. and am content as
the mat ter stands.
Our able Ordinary. (. s. Mai tin, is of
course ready any time to listen to the
voice of the jteople by whose consent lie
walked into office. Let us, therefore,
hear from the good citizens in every sis
tion of the county upon the subject. Let
us think about the matter of a new court
house, ami talk of it in a friendly way.
Please do no mud-slinging, for 1 have no
sa k to receive the same.
Respectfully,
James Blame a farmer.

Lanier, Ifisfamily and ourselves, toeom-ct
t hese false rumors. Wesavjust here that
all these rumors are false, and that there
is no fou'nd.ition for them.
In tiie first place, Virgil had too much
manhood to act in this way. He loved
his aged parents too well to have brought
so much trouble on their old gray locks
He is certainly drowned; and we
these false rumors were gotten up by Ho¬

\ irgil went to Savannah six years ago

he held with credit to himself up to the
date of his untimely death, and Mess, h ret
"ellA Ni'liols will bear out thisassertion.
that with his house he net ei had a cross
word. ID stood high in the estimation
of his house as a mail, and good busiess
man, and with honesty, straightfonvard
ness and entegrity he built n reputation
that will live long after him, and an ex

tern after. Virgil was an exemplary
young malt. This can be seen in the way
Hint lie has built up the old homestead
and in tiie wav lie treated his old parents,
who will lie the first to miss .nil to feel
his great .“ ts oj kniitness and goodness.

SHORT COTTON CROP
In his t ambles over the county
the 1 IMES mail has ^been giving
gom(} notice to the growing cotton
crop, and was ot the opinion that
the prospect for a large yield was
quite Battering.
During the gathering vest* rdav
we took the oportunity to
vim.v the growers from the various
parts of the count’’, and met the
general verdict that there will he
an immense shortage this season.
The frequent rains in the early
blooming destroyed the entire bot¬
tom crop, and now the rust or
blight has taken such hold upon
the foliage that no crop can be ex¬
pected. One gentleman remarked
that he had just visited one field
of some eighteen acres, that was
Dot expected to yield as much us
one good hair of lint.
'j'| K) shortage “less is estimated by
some at not than sixty * per
