The bill provides for a boat'd of ten directors, one practical, successful farmer in ehch congresional' dis trict, to establish the station and farm, and supervise the operation thereof. The bill further' pro- tion of guano be appropriated to the establishment of 'the station and farmland that the 815,000 ap propriated by the U. Su Govern ment be used annually to sustain this farm. It is believed the bill will pass*the senate: A bill has been introduced in the senate to extend the scnool term in Georgia to six months, to {bis continent, devote the entire rental of the state ro§d; and all specific taxes to the school fund, to creates state A race riot occured in Kemper county, Mississippi, last Monday, A negro assaulted a white farmer without just provocatin, hurting him seriously. The friends of the white man determined to punish the negro, and a crowd of negroes armed themselves to resist. A con flict resulted, the negroes firing first from a building, and the whites were repulsed. Next day the buildings on the place where the negroes were ^fortified were burned. In the fight five men were killed and several wounded. The negroes who did the shooting are "hiding out,” and-it is antici pated that further trouble will en sue.when tbey are found.

M. Feagin are now shipping oak wood from this station to Macon. I see a bill has been introduced in the senate,, as a substitute for the Brady bill, and which requires samples of guano to fee labeled, numbered and sealed, and deposit ed in the Ordinary’s office; if the farmer is not satisfied with the re sults, then the Ordinary is to send it to the agricultural department for analysis. It further fixes the the fees, and strange to say, the farmer, os usual, has the cost, to pay. Now, there is no justice in any such a bill, and I hope that if it should pass the senate that the lower house will kill it. The farmers are now taxed high enough, about their guanos.* For the last season the farmers of Georgia were taxed 8104,093.68 for inspec tion fees, and after paying all ex penses then paid into the treasury over 885,000. Now what would it cost the planters of Georgia to sample eVery ton of guano that is sold in Georgia, and have it la beled and numbered under the bill ? The planter could do nothing un less he had samples, and deposited them as required, and this wduld entail upon the plaiiter a cost which would keep him from avail- ingfhimself of the benefits of the law. Now it seems to me that the Senate of Georgia has adopted the same plan to till the Brady bill that the United. States Senate adopted to kill the Mills bill: it is all on the same principle. The U. S. Senate was in favor of pro tecting ihe moneyed men at the expense of the poorer classes; so is the Senate of Georgia, if it passes the bill in question. It is nothing more than to project the guano man, as the fees will cost the farmers so much that they will take the chances of being defraud ed before they will go to so much trouble and expense to have it numbefed afid labelled. I noticed where the Macon ‘ Telegraph said that the Brady bill would pass the house' by a large majority,- but the cudgel was ready in the senate to kill it just so soon as .it came to that body, (what was the club' of cudgel,) was it money that was spoken of or not? It looks rather that way to me, as the prediction goes out so far in advance. The house and senate is made up of the same material—all Georgians, and they should look to the inter est of Georgia; therefore, when a bill passes one house with a large majority, it looks like it might probably pass the other body, un less there were some illegal means used to influence the members in voting, or to keep them from voting, etc. • I can see nothing good in Sena tor Sanford’s' bill. .It leans to the guano manufacturers all the way; for when the planter goes to all the expense to comply with .the law, by taking out samples and hftving them recorded, etc., and then if the stuff shouldn’t come up to the guaranteed analysis, the planter, after employing counsel and making a court case of it,- is bound to pay every cent that the analysis shows it to be worth, There is no forfeiture in the bill on accoun t of fraud, therefore there would be no restraint on the guano manufacturer.- He could lower his grade of guano a3 low as he wishes to, and then guarantee it as high as he pleased, and there would be no possible Chance for him to lose anything, as he can re cover what the commercial value is as shown by the analysis. What would be thought of a law that would not punish a man for larce ny, for instance, if you were to. em ploy a man to watch and catch a thief, and then the law would be for him to return to you the things be had stolen, and that would set tle the ease. Don’t.you think that there would be- more theft than there is at present? - So if Mr. Sanford’.s hill were to become a-law, there would he more spurious guano on the market than is now. / - If you want to decrease crime, punish it. W T e have a much better law for the planter now bn our statute book than the said bill would ever make.- I hope the«senators will be The House of Bepresfintatives, after granting liberal apprpriatiqns to the University at Athens, the several branch colleges, and the state school of Technology, grant ed last week an appropriation of $495,000 for the public schools of Georgia. Of this amount $165,- 000 is to be used next year, and 8330,000 in 1S90. This is deciedly proper, and it is not likely that tlie senate will fail to agree to this much heeded appropriation. The fact that,’ notwithstanding the electipu of Harrison, a majori ty of th'e'popular vote at the late election was cast for Cleveland, has evidently made a deep im- pression oh the public mind. That impression is strengthened by the fact that Cleveland’s plural ity in his defeat In 18$8 Was more than three times as large as that which he obtained i n the victory of 1884 From this, lack of cor respondence between the popular and the electoral vote, it is justly concluded that the democratic party still holds the confidence of the American people:—New York Star. :nt three acres. ■ •- Late ieslden"c» and lot of the deceased, corner bf erkin and Washington streets in Perry.
