THURSDAY, APR. 18,1895.
From the unanimity with which
our exchanges all oyer the state
chronicle the prospect for larger
fruit and pork crops this year, one
is led to believe that cur people
generally will be in much better
condition by fall.

A populist contemporary chron¬
icles the fact that a subscriber re¬
cently paid his subscription, and
then acknowledges that times are
getting better. It is certainly a
good sign when the populists begin
to seent better times.

An exchange says: “A sufficient
and abundant currency is better
*than a scare* and inadequate cur¬
rency.” This is an argument in
favojr of a return to the old confed¬
erate war times currency, that will
require a bushel of money to buy
a peck of potatoes.
“Take away the demand for gold would as a
money metal* and a silver dollar
buy two or three pounds of it.”—Atlanta
Constitution.
Why.not*say two or three tons
of it? Thefe would be as much
reason and as much truth in such
a declaration, and the public would
accept it just as readily.
To be sure the silliest of all ar¬
guments—beg pardon for
it an argument—yet put forward
on the currency question, is the
sistence that “silver is the
mau’s money;” as though
could be oue kind of money for the
po?r man aud another for the rich.

An exchange > advertise for a
friend who will recognize him
when his trousers wear out at the
seat—a friend who will loan him a
dollar without demanding five dol¬
lars security and two hundred per
cent interest. Ten million such
friends are needed in this glorious
country.
The Meldrim Guidon and the
Guyton Chronicle have recently
merged into one, the Guidon, which
new comes to us in enlarged and
improved torm. The paper doesn’t
give the name of its editor, but
whoever he may be, he is one of
the ablest in the weekly ranks in
Georgia.

The sheriff of Putnam county,
Fla., has voluntarily reduced the
cost of feeding prisoners from 40
t> 25 cents each per day. This
sheriff and the Georgia preacher
who asked his congregatiou to re¬
duce his salary would furnish all
the material required for an excel¬
lent 10-cent show.

The Sandersville Progress last
week crew over an egg some admir¬
ing friend had presented him with
which measured 7 inches around
lengthwise by 6 the other. That’s
pretty good for the short-staple
country, Bro. Chapman; but the
Times had one for breakfast recent¬
ly which measured 8x6£ inches
around.
“A rigid investigation of present
and their purchasing power in
son with twenty years ago brings out thr
remarkable fact that average wages
doubled in England within the last twen¬
ty years.”—Savannah Press.
And so they have in this coun¬
try. Twenty years ago the average
monthly wages paid to a farm hand,
for instance would purchase little
more than oue barrel of flour; now
it will purchase about three bar¬
rels.
A young man in Atlanta passed
a note to a young lady in church
Sunday evening, asking to be al¬
lowed to escort her home. A po¬
liceman was sitting near and saw
the transaction, and soon had the
young man arrested for disorderly
conduct This will be a lesson to
the boys who are not willing to
are dismissed.

A SOUTHERN MAN FOR PRESIDENT.
The suggestion of the Washing¬
ton Post that the democrats should
nominate a southern man for presr
ident, next year, will naturally be
received with enthusiusm by south¬
ern people. It is too early now for
enthusiasm, however; what is need¬
ed is coolness and judgment.
In looking tor a candidate, the
party should select a man who is
known to lie square on the demo¬
cratic platform. His principles
aud his ability to poll the largest
number of votes being settled, the
question of his location is unim¬
portant. If the press of the coun¬
try enderses the idea of the Post,
a number of southern presiden¬
tial booms will be the result. The
south has plenty of good material,
and the election of a candidate
from this section would remove the
last vestige of bitterness from the
discussion of a question that in¬
volves nothing but history. For
thirty years the south has been
content to up ma
jorites, which grow larger every
election, while the other sections
nave reaped the fruit as reward
for their faithfulness to the Union.
But the south has endured peni¬
tence long enough, and feels that
she has a right to wear the ring
upon her finger.
The nomination of a southern
man would, of course, be an ex¬
periment, and no man knows how
it would result. It would cause
a landslide, probably, but no man
can more than guess wbiph party
would suffer by it. The belief is
common that the chances are
against the democrats in 1896, a id
if th J s opinion is correct, the time
is propitious for a southern can
di late. The south would be solid
for him, and numbers of men at the
north, east, and west, would, in a
generous impulse of good feeling,
vote for him. Doubtless a num¬
ber, yielding to bitter memories,
would go ugainst him, but his
jhanccs would be at least eyen.
- ----- --
The postal authorities have dis¬
covered that large quantities of
counterfeit 2-ceut postage stamps
are being disposed of, more than
$500 worth having been captured
in one day in Chicago lately. Third
Assistant Postmaster General Craig
says that one of these bogus stamps
was sent to him about a month
ago, and that, with a magnifying
glass, he “easily detected that it
was spurious.” All postmasters
will be warned to look out for bad
2 cent stamps, but we have not
learned if the department will sup¬
ply the necessary equipment for
detecting them.
WITHOUT REASON.
The Savannah News says of the
Atli nta Constitution: “In its
cheerful innocence it does not seem
to think that reasons or arguments
cut any figure in the silver ques¬
tion.”
The Constitution is not by itself
in this matter. The agitators of
free and unlimited coinage of sil¬
ver all insist upon the ratio of 16
to 1, and yet not a Bingle argument
is ever advanced to show why
particular ratio is insisted upon.
True they insist that if every
man was allowed to take his silver
to a mint and haye it coined at
that ratio ho would not sell it for
less, and, as a result, the market
price of silver would at once, and
perfectly naturally, become the
value.
They kno.r that silver now, in
all the markets of the world, is
not worth but half its coinage val¬
ue, but they hold that the other
half can be given to it by act of
Congress. They assert that the
government’s decree is competent
to give any value desired, and, with
a view to making money so plenti¬
ful that poor debt-ridden people
may be able to settle their obliga¬
tions more easily, this is what they
ask it to exercise upon silver at a
ratio of 16 to 1.
None of these free-silver cranks
see anything in the way of the gov
doubling the price of .it
ver, but singularly enough, none of
them seem to want aoy more
ey than the ratio of 18 to 1 is cal¬
culated to give. Why it is that
they don’t set the Aark higher, and
ask the government to give to sil¬
ver three, or ten times its present
market value, is a condundrom.
The free and unlimited coinage of
silver afc* ten dollars an ounce
would result in a much larger sup¬
ply of money than at $1.29 au
ounce, and the government’s fiat
is just as competent to give it one
price as another.
Why don’t they make reasonable
demands ?
“Give a dog a bad name and then
it.” Without knowing any¬
thing especially mean for which
is noted, almost everybody
of the state is wont to think
the Texans as shaggy-haired
ruffians, with their boots full of
dirks and pistols. In a modest
way, a Texas contemorary under¬
takes to correct this imprefesion.
Itsays: “It is all a mistake that
the people of Texas are a set of
roughs, and that intelligence and
refinement is the exception to the
rule. More crime is committed in
the great cities, such as Chicago
and New York, in one day than in
a whole year in Texas.”
-
THAT’S BUSINESS. ,
The Florida legislature is giving
its attention to a bill which pro¬
vides that insurance companies
shall pay, when property is de¬
stroyed, the full amount for which
the policy is written.
We believe we recollect that a
similar measure enacted by the
Tennessee legislature a year or so
ago created a racket in insurance
camps in that state, and that cer¬
tain companies declared their in¬
tention to withdraw their business
from that state. We are not pre¬
pared to say if the threat was car¬
ried out.
But we do not see why insurance
companies should wait for a law
to compel them to adopt such a
business-like method of doing bus¬
iness. The very best time to ar¬
rive at a correct estimate of the
real value of a piece of property is
while the -a roperty is i»,§jght, aud
not'after ?*■ mis been^laid^e^hes;
and wo do not recognize even the
semblance of equity in taking from
an individual a certain sum annu¬
ally for carrying a risk upon his
property, and then, after the prop¬
erty is gone, refusing to settle ac¬
cordingly.

THE SWINE PLAGUE.
Dr. Salmon Tells of This Fatal Disease
Among the Hogs.
Dr. Salmon, the chief of the bureau
of animal industry, has just issued a
bulletin ou this subject which ought to
be in the hands of every hog keeper,
and can be obtained on application to
the department of agriculture, Wash¬
ington,* D. C. Dr. Salmon says that
whilst no absolutely certain cure can
be found for any disease, and certainly the
not for hog cholera, yet that, as re¬
sult of a long series of experiments, the
following has been found to he a most
efficacious formula in most cases of this
disease, and is valuable as a preventive:
lbs.
Wood charcoal...... 1
8nlphnr.............. 1
Sodium chloride..... 2
Sodium bicarbonate . 2
Sodium hyposulphite 2
8odium sulphate..... 1
Antimony sulphide 1
Pulverize and thoroughly mix and
give a large tablespoonful for each 200
pounds weight of hogs once a day. Feed
on soft food, made of bran andshipstuif
or bran and corn meal mixed in hot
water and stir in the proper quantity of
the medicine. Animals too sick to eat
should be drenched with the medicine
mixed in water. In drenching a hog,
never throw him on his back or rope
him and force him to take the medi¬
cine. The chances are that if you do
you will choke him. Pnll out the side
of his cheek from his teeth end thus
make a pouch into which pour the med¬
icine, and it will run into his month
and be swallowed, or take an old shoe
and ent off a small part of the toe, so
as to make a hole through, and pu! this
in his mouth. He will generally com¬
mence to chew the shoe*—then pour the
medicine into the shoe and it will And
its way slowly into the mouth and b*
swallowed. We have drenched hogs in
this way when wo could succeed in no
other way. Keep tho sick hogs dry,
warm and clean, or it is ivery little nse
giving medicine.

e t th e biggest bargains you ever
saw in footwear. -JR. Siuimous.
