Ge0Pgia r Holds HeP 0 wn, Though T The D Republicans __ Capture the National Congress. This week’s election news is a little mix¬ ed, but the T.mes regrets to state that the most of it is not of the most palata¬ ble variety. Bulloch county is all right. She gave Col. Lester a majority of 367 over Dr. Brown, being more than 50 per cent larger than the majority given the dem¬ ocratic sta te ticket last month. Chatham county sets a better example than Bulloch, giving the populist nomi¬ nee only 57 votes, aud Col. Lester 6,5532,— a majority of 6,273 votes. The 1st congressional district is to be congratulated upon giving the largest majority of any district in the state. Col. Lester’s majority two years ago was 5 089, and this year it is more than 8,000. Col. Lester and democracy grow in pop¬ ularity in the 1st district of Georgia. Georgia is right side up and don't you forget, it. Thirteen democratic congress¬ men have been returned from the “Em¬ pire State, - ’ Tom Watson having been laid in the shade to the tune of more than 5,000 majority. Rut the news is not so encouraging from everywhere. For instance, Morton has defeated Sen. Ilill for governor of New York by a majority of' not less than 100 , 000 . lion. W. L. Wilson, author of the Wil¬ son tariff bill, has been defeated by the republican candidate, Dayton, by about 2,500 votes, and the West Virginia legis¬ lature has gone republican by 15 t o 20. This insures a republican United States senator in the place of Sen. Camden. By the aid oi the kicking Breckinridge crowd in the 7th congressional district, of Kentucky, Owens, who defeated Breck¬ inridge in the primaries, has probably been defeated by Denny, republican. Maryland, for the first time within the history of the state, has chosen more re¬ publicans than democrats to Congress. Last congress, she had six democrats; in the next, she will have two democrats and four republicans. John Gary Evans, the Ti’Juianite can¬ didate for governor of South Carolina, has beat en Dr. Pope, the independent, I'illman by about 20,000 votes. Gov. will be elected Fnited Stages' Senator from that state by the next legislature, the Butler crowd having been utterly routed. North Carolina now appears to have four populists to congress, name¬ ly: .Skinner, from the 1st district; Stroud, from the 4th; Shaford, from the 7th, and Linney, from the 8th. Settle, republican, has been elected from the 5th district. The democrats elected from that state are, Woodward, from the 2nd district; Shaw, bom the 3rd; Lockhart, from the 6th, and Crawford, from the 9th. The present House of Representatives in congress is composed of 214 demo¬ crats, 128 republicans, and 12 populists; there being two vacancies. The one just elected will be entirely changed, the re¬ publican leaders claiming as high as 230 members. ATLANTA IS SHOCKED. Atlanta, Nov. 5.—A wave of virtuous indignation has struck Atlanta. All the ladies’ afternoon societies and. elderly gentlemen of highly moral proclivities are up in arms, not to mention being down on legs, at the high art show; bills. First it was the picture of a pretty little girl in blue tights, posted by the “Black Sheep” compauy, lhat offended. It was generally denounced by the ladies’ socie¬ ties and some of the church people. The more the pictures were discussed the morr threateaing was the aspect of the storm cloud raised by the W. G. T. U. ladies. As a rule, the men didn’t take the case seriously, and there were no tan¬ gible results until yesterday, when Mar¬ tin Dooly, the theater bill poster, was placed under arrest for displaying a “stand of Lillian Lewis’ ‘Cleopatra.” The picture represents the figures ot An¬ tony and Cleopatra, It is fair to pre¬ sume that the naked facts of history were slighted by the artist when he de¬ vised the costume worn by Cleopatra as she appeared in theobjectionable picture. The noble Antony was not overdressed either. Bill-poster Dooly soon perceived his mistake after putting up the bills, and auu soon souu had uau a u squad »|uw of j, men • at ivoik concealing the beauties of the Egyptian beautv by plastering her with datasheets, But even tills did oot siltittfv, and Dooly was was arraigned a mgu in i tile poliee i eonrt lor liis oSense.

L™#*, .Hour's Bamboo Culture in the South, Mr. J. .L, Norinand of Marksville, La., makes the following statement: I have five different kinds of bamboo growing on my experimental grounds. 1 find the giant bamboo (B. Semienais) the most profitable. It is lmrdy and attains ft hag-lit of 100 feet when a plantation of it is well started. It will grow wherever the wild cane grows; stiff clay land suits it best. The root cuttings should be set eight feet apart; lay them flat and over bodil.v three or four inches deep. It re¬ quires very -little cultivation the first year. After this it will take care of itself, and grow so thick and fast that it will occupy all vacancy between the rows and run ahead of all weeds and grass. I should think this is the very plant need¬ ed for subirrigat ion pipes. I am going to try the experiment of subirrigatiug my strawberry patch with it. I also pro¬ pose to build a latticed shed over my strawberries to partly shade tin m from the scorching summer sum I believe this is the way for us to grow the strawberry successfully; water to their roots when needed and partially shaded overhead in the summer. The bamboos can be set ou.t almost any time. In dry times it must. Ik* well watered the first year plant cd. The third year after planting you can begin to cut and' use for walking canes, fish poles, bean poles, fancy chick¬ en coops; the fourth and fith years for chairs, bedsteads, picture frames, rustic seats, grape arbors; on tbo seventh and eighth year they become from six to eight inches in diameter and grow nearly 100 feet in bight ill a single season.

Senator Faulkner is more confident than at any time during the campaign that the democrats will elect a majority of the next House. Hisestinmtesof dem ocratic success in Indiana and Wisconsin, where the republicans have been making such sweeping claims, have disconcerted the republican campaign managers to an unusual degree. It has called their bluffs and they are trying to find a way to keep from showing their hand. Senator Faulkner has been paying particular at¬ tention to the Congressional end of the New York campaign and, while he has not succeeded in harmonizing the party in New York city to as great an extent as he wished, he considers the democratic outlook much improved within the lust few days. He had a conference with President Cleveland day before yesterday, and it is presumed that they talked about the campaign, but Senator Faulkner hasn’t said publicly that they did. Iu assuming that members of the cabi¬ net are not interested iu the campaign because they are attending to their offi¬ cial duties and are not making speeches, some people are making a serious mis¬ take. The two New York members—Sec¬ retary Lamont and Postmaster General Bissell—are registered and both of them have stated that they expected to vote the straight democratic ticket; Secretary Gresham is registered and says he will go to Chicago and vote the straight demo¬ cratic ticket; Secretary Morton, who has just returned from Europe, found so much business awaiting his attention that ho paired with a Nebraska republi¬ can and will not go home to vote; Secre¬ tary Carlisle is so busy that lie will not vote, but lie would if there was any doubt about the result in Kentucky; Secretary Smith and Secretary Herbert both ex¬ pect to vote the straight democratic tick el, but nobody seems to know Attorney General Olney's intention. The unnual report of Pension Commis¬ sioner Lochren snys of ihe notorious Long pension, which was reduced by the Bureau of Pensions, that under honest but mistaken interpretation of pension laws Judge Long has obtained more than $7,000 to which he was never legally en titled, and adds the beliefsol the Coin missiomT, that should Long ever take * Supreme C™m. as In* has said he would, thedecision may impel him to consider the propriety of te f ; n ling tills monev lo *ho government. ...........

He is regarded as high nnthorit yin the politics of that •State, ami i just before i r,. leaving i H Bashing- T ton expressed himself as follows on dem ocratic prosjucis: “My correspondence assures me that Hie party in theStute is united and enthusiastic for success. The newspaper accounts further convince <ie of that fact. I know the active men in most of the counties of the State within the party. I have met them often in their localities in matters political. I know how much they have been divided of late. I am sure they are now working for victory in the common cause. While this place is not favorable for political ■ prognostication*, I am very hopeful of sueccdn, and I aril sure of a united demo¬ cratic party in the slate hereafter ns the result of .Senator lliH’ssplendid can vans.” Mr. Benedict said of another matter in which democrats are much interested: “1 know that Secretary Carlisle is anxious to see the democratic ticket elected, but of course, as Assistant Secretaries Wike, Utm'H* 1 and ( urtis are out of town, mak¬ ing speeches for the party in different sec¬ tions of the country, he is unableto leave liere on account of his official duties, and 1 believe the New York democrats will ap¬ preciate that fact.” The Post Office depart meat, in order to enlist the assistance of private citizens in the protection of the U.

Fewer Acres and Diversified Crops the Salvation of the Geor¬ gia Farmer. The following letter from Mr. R. J. Red¬ ding, Director of the Georgia Experiment Station, to Mr. C. A. Rowland, of Augus¬ ta, should be duly considered by the farmers of Georgia. We have preserved this communication for some months, as the date will show, with a view' to laying it before the Tim is readers at a season of the year when we thoughtitlikely to pro¬ duce the best results. The farmers are now abont done gathering their crops for 1894, and are generally agreed that they have lost money on thecotton crop, as heretoforecultivated. Thetirtieis now approaching for the preparation of tbo land for another season, and the farmers are asking, “What shall we plant next year?” The logic contained in Director Bedding's communication may aid them in the solution of the question. Georgia Experiment Station, Mr. Experiment, Ga., Aug. 20th, 1894. C. A. Rowland Augusta, Ga.: My Dear Siy4> /& ’ f fully endorse what you say in refe»., in e practical inabil it.v of legislation soTOn g as farmers fol¬ low such unbusiness-like methods, and produce such poor results. And while I would be the last to underestimate the value and importance of the woi k we are doing at this station, I am free to say that I believe I could do even more good to the farming interest if I could spend m.v entire time in visiting the farmers, holding meetings, and discussing and impressing the importance of common sense, business methods. Farmers do not need science less, but they need com¬ mon sense business more. “Intensive farming” is simply principles applied to the conduct of the farm. The idea of culti¬ vating an acre of land which cah be ex¬ pected to yield no moretltan one-third of a bulr of cofton, or ten or twelve bushels of corn, or twelve or fifteen bushels of oats is simply prepost i*r:aifc. ■ I insist that there can lie no real prosperity for an individual farmer in producing less t han one bale of cotton, or twenty-five or thirty bushels of corn, or forty or fifty bushels of oats per acre. I insist that there is a fair profit to he realized on cot¬ ton at (i’4 cents, provided the best )und on each farm be selected, a judicious ro¬ tation of crops be adopted,, mid u liberal use of fertilizers (including the use of cow peas and other renovating ustrate crops) be practiced. I have ill oa aided charjlipf pro«|| [III(j IT) fl t I ’liiuiitO'*. . ton bushels of con. per acre. By a sys liberal but judicious use of well balanced fertilizers, the land—every acre of it in cultivation—ha* been profitably brought ty to forty bushels of oats, per acre— without an.v fertilizer. Oor crop is now ««> fine that it promises—with no eosnal ity in the future, and a reasonably late fn „_ to yMd from 1% to 2 bales per acre. Counting only on the expenses which would bo properly chargeable to the crop as a business venture, it certainly will not have cost—when gathered and ready for market—exceeding 5 cents per pound, and I think not more than 4 cents. But if a farmer cuts down his area—as he must do in order to got one bale of cotton per acre—if every fanner so redu¬ ces his area—then the aggregate cotton crop wonld be reduced very greatly, prob¬ ably to one-fourth or one-fifth of the present aggregate area, and the aggre¬ gate production wonld be probably less than 6,000,000 bales, and the market would go up, at a bounce, to 10 cents. Of course every farmer cannot be so im¬ pressed, and there will be no such univer¬ sal contraction of acres: but each farrnt r who does contract will get the benefit of the widening of and the margin between price, which cost of production result from his market adoption of the would contracted, intensive, one-bale-to-the acreplan. No failure to co-operate on the part of the farmers at large could cheat him out of the benefits of his own common sense course. He would find it infinitely wiser to produce 20 bales of cot¬ ton at ii cost of $20 a bale (4 cents a pound) and sell them for $30 a bale (6 cents a pound). In the first place he will exchange $20 worth of labor for $550 cash; while in the second case he will be simply swapping ten dimes for year’s n dollar, while he owes somebody for a liv¬ ing. So then, the argument is to each farmer ns au individual. Large bodies move slowly—individuals can act quickly and independently. Let any one farmer to it that he does wbat lie thinks oth¬ er farmers should do—what all farmers should do—whether others do it or not. ff every farmer will do this then all will do it—because all includes every: but if onlv one in every ten, or one in every thousand, adopts such a course, he will not be without his reward.
