What Does it Indicate.
Within the past six or eight
months there has been very great
activity in the inauguration of
Hew enterprises iix Georgiy Ala
bama and other Southern States.
New railroads have been pros
pected, companies formed, char
ters obtained, and building pushed
forward rapidly. Much of the
money used was earned in the
South, though much came from
the North. Coal and iron mines
have been developed, and. iron
furnaces erected. In many cities
in Georgia and neighboring States
various manufacturing enterprises
have been put'into successfull op
eration, and others are in course
of inauguration. These factories
cover nearly the entire field of
productive industry, and the end
of Southern progress in this direc
tion is not yet.
We are satisfied that these facts
cleariy indicate several things
that will prove immensely advan
tageous to Georgia and her sister
States, to-wit: The manufactur
ing center is gradually moving
Southward. Men of reason know
that the facilities for manufactur
ing all such articles of use as are
made from raw materials indige
nous to the South, are greater in
the South. People of wealth,
North and south, are appreciating
this fact.
Sectional prejudices are dying
out, and the reasoning of the bus
iness man is becoming more po
tent than the oratory of the parti
san politician. The genial cli
mate of the South is an important
factor in this movement.
The value of property will be
added to by the establishment of
every new productive industry.
More work will be done, more
workers will be needed, more farm
products will be consumed in the
South, therefore our markets can
handle more and consequently will
be better.
Activity in manufacturing indi
cates better times, in a business
way, for all who will do their
share in incouraging the activity,
Mu. Clarance I. Grooves has

ciate editor of the Quitman Free
Press. His salutatory indicates

The passage by congress of the

tion that sectional prejudice, even

out.

£ During the session of Laurens

weeks.
The Situation,—Note No, 9.
Written &r TeeHoxe JtfCESAi..
Men who remember that a doz*
en distinctly different trades and
occupations are represented in
their daily food and apparel, must
realize in an entirely new sense
that it is not good for man to be
alone; norfor communities to dis
agree, nor for neighborhoods to
divide and pull asunder; norfor one
business to oppress another. As
the mutual interest of each must
be promoted by the other, hoW es
sential then that all work to
gether and in harmony.
Polling asunder, and each striv
ing lor the mastery, as if one indi
vidual, or one particular business
was totally independent of another,
has had much to do with the un
balanced equipoise in the business
relations of the country, and in
bringing about the stringency of
the times,—much more perhaps
than the tariff, of which so much
is being said by self-interested
statesmen, has had to do with it.
Close observations • reveal the
fact that everything is drifting to
wards consolidation. The greater
things are swallowing up the
smaller. To this, however, there
is an exception—the larger farms
will utimately be sliced up into
smaller ones; the smaller ones, as
a rule, are maintaining themselves
better than the larger ones, and
this is a powerful argument in fa
vor of intensive farming—just
now in its incipiency in this eoun
try.

The present United States Sen
ate is composed of 42 republicans
and 34 democrats. The elections
for the next Senate have all been
held except in New Jersey and
West Virginia. The membership
of that body now stands 39 repub
licans and 35 democrats. The
democrats confidently expect to
gain the senators from New Jersey
and West Virginia, which will
make the next senate 39 republi
cans and 37 democrats. Further
hopes are entertained, however.
It is believed that Riddleberger,
of Virginia, will act with the dem
ocrats when a democrat, Daniels,
succeeds Mahone in the senate.
If this hope is realized, there will
-be a political tie, 38 democrats and
38 republicans.
From the Macon Telegraph we

has been signed by President

pointed.
The Jacksonville Times-Union

The Southern Cultivator.
Certainly the Southern Cultiva r
tor deserves the fullest patronage
that Southern farmers can give it.
If any one doubts the truth of this
assertion, the February number of
this most excellent magazine will
prove that we are correct. In its
several departments, the entire
field is covered. Dr.. Jones’
“Thoughts for the Month” tell
what to do and how to do it. In
Current Farm Topics much useful
information is given. In the Hor
ticultural department the fruits
are ably discussed In the Live
Stock department the best points
in the best breeds are pointed out
Some most excellent chicken points
are given in the “Poultry Yard.”
The “Letters from the Field”
are from practical men on practi
cal farm subjects, and give much
valuable information; and the in
quiry department sparkles with
gems. The editorial department
is ably conducted. Bee culture
has a department, and Georgia
Agriculture has special attention
devoted to it.
This partial enumeration of
the many excellent features of
the Southern Cultivator is only a
hint of its true value. The Maga
zine must be read to be fully ap
preciated. Published at Atlanta,

THE'rumor that Hon. Daniel

effect on or before the first of May.

Experience vs. Inexperience.
It is a matter of regret that in
introducing Hood’s SaTsaprilla, its
proprietors are obliged to over
come a certain distrust by some
deople who have unfortunately
bought worthless compounds mix
ed by persons ignorant of pharma
cy. Messrs. C. L Hood & Co.,
aie reliable: pharmacists of long
experience and they make no claims
for Hood’s Sarsaparilla which can
not be substantiatedby the strong
est proof. And we say to those
who lack confidence, read the un
solicited testimonials in favor of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and then
prove its merits by actual person
al test. We are confident you will
not be disappointed, but mil find
it a medicine of peculiar curative
value, which can be implicitly re
lied upon,
