A case recently investigated by
missionQr Heud'erson shows
last year'a- guano dealer of
Savannah sold 5 to Screven' county
farmers a lot of fertilizers that had
liot been inspected' as the lan di
rects.- In the investigation the
Sample of guano thus sold was an
alysed by State Chemist White
stud two other chemists. White’s
Report showed, a much higher
grade of guauo than the others,
and showing a gross mistake.
Commissioner Henderson ordered
flie prosecution of the dealer who
ltly sold the guano, and
leal- laboratory
tertain feelings of business and po
litical enmity against the citizens
of other sections of the county.
This is ungenerous, and we are
satisfied that a careful and un
prejudiced investigation will prove
it to be unjust. Houston ebunty
is certainly-one of the very best
agricultural comities in Georgia,
and itB frqjt record is ahead of all
others. Except through unity of
action, the-true worth of Houston
can never Ue matte manifest to the
people who live elsewhere. The
immigration necessary to the eotu-
plete occupancy of the farming
lands will never be attained while
the citizens of one section malign
other sections. We should all be
proud of being Houstonians, re
gardless of the exact locality of
our habitation. Next to advancing
his own individual interests, every
citizen of Houston Should feel it a
duty and a pleasure to favor the
business enterprise of any other
citizei) of the county. In consid
ering any scheme calculated to
benefit any town or section of the
county, no citizen Pof'j-'any other
town or section should by word or
deed seek to retard the enterprise.
If Fort Valley grows, then let
Perry applaud and feel^ proud.
Fort Valley is a part of Houston,
and the value of Houston’s taxable
property is enhanced every time
Fort Valley takes a stop forward.
When Perry goes forward, tjie cit
izens of no other Houston town or
sectiotesliould do a tight to retard
her progress.
The citizens of the towns should
live in genuine accord with the
farmers, and a community’ of in
terests should bind them closely
together in business affairs. . Our
merdhants should in every way in
their power assist our farmers to
receive the best prices for their
products, and merchandise should
be sold aslow as practicable. Our
farmers need the merchants, and
the merchants need the farmers,
therefore it is directly to the in
terest of all to help each other in
every.business way possible.
In unity there is strength, is
strongly applicable to the people
of Houston county.
Col, Livingston.
President L; F. Livington, of
the Georgia Farmers’. Alliance,
has written to the Macon Tele
graph, taking exceptions at an in
terview that was published in that
paper, concerning his candidaey
for governor of Georgia, directly
following the Alliance convention
at Macon. His letter concludes as
follows?
“I have not announced my can
didacy for governor, nor have I au
thorized any one to do so for me;
and if in the future I see fit to an
nounce for ahy office in the gift of
the people, I will do so over my
own signature, and in doing so,
will hot eompromise'or embarrass
any person or enterprise® with
whom or which I am connected.
Please let this suffice and an
swer once for all as to my candi
dacy;”
a A large number of alliance-
men do not look with favor upon
Pres. Livingston’s .candidacy for
the governorship of Georgia. They
say that the alliance did not put
him forward, and that he ought
not to be at the same time Presi
dent of the Alliance and.' Candi
date for governor. These gentle
men,- and we could name several
of them, are right, and- Col. Liv
ingston would do well to consider
carefully the opinion they have
expressed;
Hon. James E. Campbell has
been nominated 1 for Governor of
Ohio by the democratic conven
tion of that state. The platform
is a good one, heartily endorsing
the tariff reform policy of the na
tional democracy, as set forth at
St .Louis in 18SS.

At the to'fient annual meeting of
the Grand. Army of the Bepublic,
that organization passed resolu
tions . demanding that congress
provide both' disability a*ird Sefvice
pensions to those who' served in
the Union Army during the late
waf between the states. It is es
timated jihat compliance with this
demand would add at least §20,000,-
000 to the annual expenditures of
the government,* and require an
enormous increase of taxation.
There is nothing modest about
these G. A. B; people, as is evi
denced by the fact, that they have
about sized the pile, and propose
to take it all.
Mr-. Mitchell BodGers, of
Macon, has returned from Wash

rangements to procure a lot of

contiguous to Macon next year.
He learned that it has" bfeen practi
cally demonstrated that jute can
be profitably- grown in’ Georgia,
and he is' satisfied that with the
proper effort the manufacture of
jute bagging will become' an exten
sive industry here. His firm
Pledgers, Worsham & Co.,-will de
vote about §2,000 to induce jute
culture'in’Georgia next year.
It is now claimed that all de
mands for cotton bagging can be
