The fifth annual Hancock coun

It is not unlikely that intimate

For this business the railroads re

The bill to lease the "Western

be voted on in the House of Repre
sentatives to-day or to-mori'ow,
with the chances in favor of its
passage. It must then go to the
Senate, and even if it is passed by
that body, the state road question
will still be some distance from a
settlement. The betterments ques

upon, and even then an intermina

Complications in future can be
wisely avoided by selling the road.

lion to use cotton bagging as a
'csvfering for notion was reiterated
in strong terms, and Georgia al-
liaucemen are now pledged to the
state organization to use none oth
er, and not to sell a bale unless
the difference in tare between jute
and cotton bagging is paid by the
purchaser. A resolution was also
passed demanding 12^ cents for
every pound of cotton sold by al-
liancemen. *
'After considerate discussion
resolution was adopted agreeing
to a consolidation of the Georgia
Alliance with the Farmers’ Wheel,
and the Farmers’ Union, which
consolidation tends to bring to
gether all agricultural societies of
the Union in one grand national
organization. A convention- for
the purpose of effecting this con
solidation will meet at St. Louis on
the 5th of December next. The
Georgia delegates to this conven
tion are: L. F. Ltvingston, Felix
Oorput, W. J. Northen, M,
Branch and H.- 0. Brown.
The Southern Alliance Farmer,
published at Atlanta, was made
the official organ of the order in
Georgia.
It was announced that three oth
er mills in Georgia would manu
facture cotton flagging, the Sibley
mills, of Augusta, the Dalton
mills, and the LaGrange mills,
and that within a few days all or
ders could be filled promptly.
The President, Yice President
and Lecturer of the National Al
liance were present, and delivered
speeches that materially increased
the enthusiasm of the delegates in
the good work they have underta-
ken.
After concluding the strictly ag
ricultural business of the conven
tion, a little attention was given to
the governmental affairs of the
state.
The legislature was requested to
enact a dog law; and to enforce the
section of the constitution prohib
iting railroad monopoly. There
was also a resolution adopted to
the effect that the Georgia depart
ment of- agriculture should be
conducted by men who are practi
cally acquainted;with the needs of
farmers; also a resolution that
public school teaehers should be
paid promptly for their services,
and not be forced to wait several
months.
Hon. L. F. Livingston was elect
ed president.
The time and plate of the next
convention was not fixed, bat left
for the president and executive
committee to determine and
nonnce.
This order of men have under
taken a great work, and in all that
tends to their benefit we bid them
God speed.

Mr. D. N. Matthews, a skilled

the Southwestern railroad, was ac

his home in Macon, last Friday
night. Mr. Matthews was unmar

whose husband is also a railroad
engineer. On the night in ques
tion Ms train was delayed, and he

In answer to the popular asser
tion that the farmers of Georgia
are constantly growing poorer, a
correspondent of the Thbma'syllle
Times-Enterprise publishes the
fact that 100 Thomas county farm
ers are worth 894,965 more than
they were 10 years ago.In 1879 these
100 farmer's returned property for
taxation at the aggregate' value of
8189,904; and this year their re-j
turns amounted to 8234,869.
these 100 farmers, seven have

We note with, regret that the
Georgia State Farmers’ Alliance
pas elected Hon. L. F*Livingston,
of Newton county, president of that
worthy organization. Some months
ago President Jackson was de
posed for seeking to use the order
to his own politcal aggrandizement,
The Alliance has swapped Beelze
bub for the devil,, allegorically
speaking., Jackson an honest
egotist; Livingston is a political
demagogue. If the alliance men
follow Livingston, he may lead
them out of the agricultural bul
rushes, but he will decoy them in
to the political bog, as sure-as
faith.

him that he canl£demand of the
proper authority an analysis of
any guano sent there, ;by|ccomply-
ing with the the terms of this bill.
There is no law now compelling the
.Commissioner of Agriculture to do
this, but this bill makes it oblig
atory upon|him to do it whenever
the demand to made upon him.
What will be the effect of this
bill? It is not to be supposed that
guano sellers would be ignorant of
the law governing; the sale where
they sell it; and if they know a
sample of their guano to on de
posit, or [will likely be on deposit,
subject to analysis, and that the
contract price can be defeated if
the analysis does|notfcome up to
the guarantee, they will Either not
sell it, or exercise extraordinary
diligence and care in maintaining
the. standard, and there will rarely
if ever be occasion for disputing
such claims; Some will- say that
it will be too much trouble to com
ply with the bill. I admit it will
be some trouble, but can a less
troublesome plan . be suggested
which carries with it perfect fair
ness in obtaining and preserving
tha'jsample? Not one purchaser
in ten will ever demand the sam-
pe, because there will be hd ne
cessity for-it from the causes above
stated. The bill only becomes op
erative when the demand is made
for the sample, and the sample is
'deposited with the Ordinary, aDd
just cause for suspicion arises as
to its genuineness. It does not
conflict with any other law govern
ing the sale of guano in this state.
It simply affords additional protec
tion to those whovwill comply with
its requirement®

the guano wqs not what it was
represented to be. It therefore
costs nothing to the purchaser to
protect himself and the seller cer
tainly has nothing to complain of
so far'as unequality is concerned.
To Show the importance of such
a measure as this, I will cite a re
cent case: A farmer sent to the
Commissioner of Agriculture a
few days ago a sample of guano to
be analyzed, and the analysis
showed that it was far below the
standard required by law. When
this information was obtain
ed by the Commissioner, he
traced np the seller and notified
him that he had placed his case in
the hands of the Attorney Gen
eral for violation of the laws of the
state. The seller was also noti
fied not to collect the notes given
for the guano, under penalty of
the law, This to not an isolated
case, so I am informed.
This bill was' referred to the
