onstrated that farming does pay in j i D g lively now. Mr. 1?. C. Ken-
‘dri'cklfiis greatly improved the
looks of his store by painting and
: . The Hancock County Fair at
- Sparta last week was a positive
.“BUCcess—a most excellent exposi
iron of agricultural and other
*county products. The horse, cat-
fle and dairy exhibits were espe
cially fine.
It is reported that a recent rain
■’ storm in Mexico damaged the corn
- to a considerable extent/ and en
tailed great suffering upon the la-
hdring.classes. The doss on crops
in .one county alone is estimated
at S50.0,000.
The prospects of the Georgia
' State fair brighten as the opening
day draws nearer. It is assured
that all the departments will be
full of meritorious exhibits, and
that the fair, as a whole, Will be
one of the best expositions of
ever held.
The Georgia legislature does
- not teach the people by example
that the laws should be obeyed.
f .Tt is a noteworthy fact that their
second annual session is an eva
sion of the constitution, and the
; claim of rhileage for tins , session'
; is af positive violation.
•"’* APhe chances for the final pas-
- sage, of the state road lease daily
. grows beautifully less. The bet-
‘ terments question has not been
practicalLy considered,- and the
whole matter Wild doubtless be rel
egated to the next Georgia legis
lature.
-There are. some legislators and
other politicians who favor making
the disposition of the state*road a
direct issue in the next state cain-
’ f iP«]gh of Georgia. ~‘While Ws dis-
uke ppasuringAbe fitness of any
candidate by his attitude to a spe-
citic question of state economy, we
arei Satisfied this question would be
-Settled by the people in- favor of
Selling the road. ,
The sale of leaf tobaedo at Dan-
' Vi Mb, Virginia, for the year ending
September 30i;b,TS89j? aggregated
‘23,803,333 pounds, a decrease of
|,500M00 pounds from the sales of
?he previous year. This 1 decrease
Was due to'the short drop’. The
sales of manufactured tobacco
amounted' to 5,807,000 pounds
since last Tannery, an increase of
nearly tWo million pounds’ over
*&e same period of last year.,
all sections of Georgia. The
Georgia farmer .who has not-suc
ceeded iil making more than a liv
ing in’ a series of five years, is him
self to blame in some way. It may
not be that he has been lacking in
energy, but if not, he certainly has
allowed himself to become envi
roned by specially unfavorable cir
cumstances.
Takiug the Batiiral associates of
agrichltiife — horticulture; truck
gai-y.enihg and stock-raising; (Geor
gia no doubt can discount any
state in the Union iii the variety
and excellence of her products.
In soil, climate, healtlxfulness
and other natural advantages,
Georgia is unsurpassed, and
those Who have practiced the in
tensive system of- agriculture carl
demonstrate that there is much
money in farming. In Georgia
all things absolutely necessary for
the sustenance and comfort of
Yuan is either grown 'or| manufact
ured. The farms can be made to
produce varied and abundant sup
plies of food for man and beast,
and whenever the farmer first
seeks this attainment, success al
ways follows. Cotton, of course,
is the chief money crop, and when
cultivated merely to supply what
the farm will not produce, never
fails to serve that purpose. In
fruits and vegetables of all kinds,
native grasses for stock, grain and
other auxiliary food products,
Georgia is exceedingly rich, and
except Where the farmer purchases
articles that he could readily pro
duce and sell/ tlife Georgia agricul
turist can safely calculate that his
harvests Will b'fe afnple and profita
ble.
Wfie'ffever Georgia agficitltuie
has been stimulated by competi
tive rivalry amoflg the farmers,
great improvements in mfethods
have been made, and increased
yields of all farM products' har
vested. In farming as in all things
else, progress must be made, else,
the best results cannot be attained.
Progressive agriculture is ob
taining throughout the state,—a
direct.result of agricultural' so
cieties aud fairs. Progress means
success, and without an effort to
improve upon former methods and
increase the productiveness-of the
soil, progress cannot be made.
The natural adyantages'sffi no!
wanting; the people are intelligent,
energetic and ambitious. These
elements of fnan'and land proper
ly brought together, will in every
instance demonstrate that there
is money'fff farming,'and that in
Georgia ample opportunity for get
ting it out is afforded.
The [International American
Congress convened At Washington
yesterday, ’the three Americas —
North, Central and Exofith Ameri
ca—being repreEfehtfed by proper

—On last Friday over three
hundred bales of cotton #e'i$ car
ried to Mr. Willis. F.- Price's
warehous'e at Macon—the largest
amount of cotton ever received by
one warehouse in Macon in’ Oh’e
day. This is an evidence of the
popularity of^that warehouse,- a!nd
Mr.- P-rice iusisfe’ that it pays
farm’ers to send or carry their' Cot
ton to Pride’s warehouse.

Our churches huve been’repainted
and are iii good condition. Our
school is simply a pfihi&ry under
the tutelage of Miss Mary Hodge.
Taking everything into considera
tion, our village, and community
are in good condition.
The fleecy staple is being gath
ered and some are selling and pay
ing off their debts. The Alliance-
men generally are trying to sell aS
little as possible in obedience to
the action of the Cotton Commit
tee. There is no doubt in ihy
mind that if all would obey tlifege
instructions a new era Would
dawn on our people. There are
hardly any farmers in our commu
nity (who fife not members of the
Alliance) that are hsihg cotton
bagging, which I think very wrong-
There is no doubt in the. minds of
anyone that,the war on jute Has
caused the low price it is how-
selling at, and that the extraofdiha-
ry consumption of cotton in mak
ing cotton bagging is the C-Suse df
the present good prices for that
staple. Knowing these to be facts
is it not strange that all Ifefmeri
do not join the alliance.

Last Monday tM first state elec
tion occurred in Wellington. The
election of governor and-congress
men is concededjdo | thfe republi
cans, but both parties claim a ma
jority in the legislature. The leg
islature will elect two senators, and
for tl!ris ; fee democrats have work
ed almost exclusively, arid tfifey
claim victory. No ftoiibl it Will
require an official count to decide:
However, the republican vote is
less than at the last territorial
-election. The campaign was waged
largely Oil the tariff issue;

Triff national. cotton committee
and the tare committee of the Na
tional Farmers’ Alliance held a
meeting in Atlanta’ . last Monday.
Resolutions were adopted instruct
ing alliance^ farmers who offer for
sale eottoh Fdled in cotton
ging to demand payment for eight
pounds more cotton than tlirS act
ual gross weight of each such’ bale;
or to demand ^ cent per pound in
excess df market price, if the tare
of 16 pduridf per bale is taken off;
This action is based on the fact
that each, .cotton-wrapped bale
contains eight pounds more cotton
than a jute-f/i’A^ed bklfe'.
