Thebe’ll be nothing shaky or unsound about the next governor of Georgia. It is reported that Gen. Fonseca, provisional president of the Repub- lie of Brazil, is dying. A land Improvement Company, with a capital stock of $500,000, is being orgaDizad at Macon. - Col. Locke says he will assume control of the Macon postoffice on, or about, the 8th of February. The Sprjpg’ meeting of the Georgia State Agricultural Socie ty will be held at Hawkinsville on the 11th of February. The people of Perry regretted very much the failure of the At janta and Macon papers to come to hand yesterday. Dr. Talmage is returning home from his trip to Palestine. He spent a day last week with Mr. Gladstone, near-London. The harrow partisanship of the eyerage republican politician keeps him constantly below the level .of the lowest grade of statesmanship. No person should be ever elect ed to a legislative office because be is known to favor certain class legislation desired by his constitu ency; The Tammany Hall democrats of New York have subscribed $500 ,to the fund to erect a monument to the memory of Hon. Henry W. Grady. _ The republicans in congress are constructing the foundation for the next presidential campaign, It is specifically and intensely sectional. The Samoan treaty, arranged by the authorized representatives of the United States, England and Germany, is not satisfactory to the German government. It is not improbable that there will be fully half a dozen candi dates for Governor of Georgia in the field when the campaign opens. The best should be chosen. In a recent conversation with Br. Talmage, Mr. Gladstone is re ported as predicting that the cause of home rule for Ireland will be come triumphant through th§ next election in England. Arrangements are being per fected for a grand interstate mili tary prize drill at Savannah during the 1st week in May. The best Geor gia companies will doubtless at tend and participate. Georgia farmers are in a condi tion to emphasize the fact that there is money in farming,and that the farmer who intelligently and en ergetically pursues business meth ods can get it out in profitable sums. It is reported on. good authori ty that Major Campbell Wallace, chairman of the railroad commis sion of Georgia, will resign retire- to .. private life. He has made a most' excellent commis sioner. Georgians should not forget this year that the public wagon roads of the state are not in. ac cord with the improvements going on throughout the commonwealth. Oar public roads should be great ly improved. The Cordele correspondent of the Macon Telegraph says 100 honses are now in course of erec tion, and that in addition to these the construction of 47 dwellings - have been contracted f° r by. the Cordele Security Company. ident, have taken that old man as their model in formulating a po litical policy. Every act is pla carded as an effort to make repub lican votes in future elections, and it can be plainly seen that they are not at all particular as to how such votes should be made. Nothing in The-direction of act ually serving the country has bean done, save'the speeches that have been made, and even these have contained more party than country. It has become a by-word that Harrison has made appointments more with a view of paying debts, or. gaining new supporters, than to best serve the country. He has not sought for fitness, bat to re ward men for party service per sonal to himself, or to gain strength in localities where he is weak. In congress the speaker of the House was elected because of his extreme partisanship, and every question considered is dwarfed by being considered by the republi cans from a party standpoint strict ly- By force of their greater num ber of votes, the repulfiicans have prevented the adoption of rules to govern the proceedings of the House. In the absence of such rules, the elastic rales • generally governing parlimentary bodies are in force, and these are open to the arbitery interpretation of Speaker Reed, or the equally arbirtary in terpretation of the republican ma jority. Speaker Reed has already become dictatorial, and has failed to see. democrats claiming Recog nition, and refused to allow his rulings questioned by appeal. It is also the policy of the repub- icans to consider the 17 contested election cases from the same- nar row party standpoint, and thereby unseat 17 democrats in favor of 17 republicans, by no other virtue ex cept the ■ force of their greater number of votes.' Thus the repub- can majority will be so increased that they can easily do as they please in the matter of legislation, making rules to suit the republi can majority. By all this narrow partisan work they hope to so irritate the demo- carts as to force them to such par liamentary tactics as would block legislation, and then the cry would be raised that the democrats are so intensely partisan that they prefer to block legislation rather than have good work done that origi nated with northern republicans. Thus the sectional issue would be brought prominently to the front, and with a solid north against a solid south, another republican president would be elected. However, the republicans can not escape the reward of their small actions, even though they are largein their possession of all the patronage of all branches of the government. WE Mtsh Nellie Bly, a representa tive of the New York World, com pleted a trip around the world last Saturday, in 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes. She travelled a total distance of 23,000 miles, an aver age of a fraction over 318 miles a day. The Macon Circuit is now be fore the Supreme Court of Geor gia." Argument on the fourth case of this circuit called up was commenced yesterday morning. It is probable that the Woolfolk case will be considered within the next three or four days. Ga., several years ago predicted the plentiful harvest of 1SS9. He now says we will have six more years of plenty. He maintains that seven years of plenty have in succession been followed by seven iimMifet m MbuBs Last year the state of Georgia paid in pensions to disabled ex- Confederates within her borders the sum of §163,760. This was divided among 2,713 applicants, the average being §60:30. The payment of pensions for the pres- year.’will begin the first week in February. The ordinaries of the several, counties will receive appli cation blanks this week, and every person applying for a pension mast secure blanks from the ordi nary of his county. Those who received pensions in 1888 and again in 1889,will not be required to make proof of disability, but must make application in tegular form, and furnish certificate from the, ordi nary showing continued citizen ship. ":,t. * Secretary.of War Proctor, has ordered that the bridges across Ocmulgee river between Hawkins ville and Macon be so changed as to allow the passage of steam boats. The change is ordered to take place by the 1st of July next, and Macon yvill then be the legal head of navigation, and a regular line of steaiiiboats will be put in operation. worth, as do many honest, sensible negroes in the south. The repub lican spread-eagle orators of the partisan stripe have in their hearts no real sympathy for the negroes, and in agitating the so-called race problem they have no other idea in view than that of holding to the republican party the suffrage of the southern negroes. With lies on their lips, and indifference to the well-being of the negroes in their hearts, they rave about sup pression and violence in the south, They know that their political speeches deliberately distort every disturbance in the south, and the faetthat they are inciting an in ferior race to riot and plunder, is to them a matter of an absolute in difference. Iri fact, tbese men are demagogues who care nothing about other people, so they them selves ride upon the tide of pros perity. They know full well they are sowing the wind, and they also know that a whirlwind harvest mast be reaped. They know that the incendiarism they utter will re suit in bloodshed, and to >them it is a matter of indifference whether it be the blood of white men or of negroeB, so long as the trouble be in the south'. The speech of Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, in the United States Senate last week, was a curious mixture. Beginning, he lauded the Caucasian race, as the domi nant and superior, and in plain words placed the negro on a lower plane. He delivered sentiments as patriotic as ever fell from the’ lips of statesman, and then fell to the level of the veriest demagogue seeking suffrage from a gullible constituency. In effect he coun seled the negroes to violent force in the event they fail to receive the political prominence the north ern republicans desire them to oc cupy. He declared that the south ern negroes had been robbed of their political rights by democrats, and that those rights should be se cured in some way, though he would not counsel violence. In exact words he did not so counsel, but he let the inference be plainly seen that there was no other way open. Ingalls wilfully misrepresented facts, and he knew it, and he cares not scf that he strikes the popular chord in the northern political heart, and cemsnts the bond that for a quarter of a century has bound the negro vote to the re publican party. The northern republican dema gogues are careless of what the harvest from^their incendiary sow ing may be, but the reckoning will surely come to their political hurt. Literary Note. Professor W, G. Kitchin, Ph. D., of Cambridge, has written a pict- nresqe and vivid historical novel entitled “The Fall of the Chris tians,” which is running in the New York Ledger. The religions and historical elements are domi nant in the work, and in narrating the overthrow of Christianity in Japan in the seventeenth century, the author has entered a field fresh in English literature. “The fall of the Christians” is written by schollar who has made a specialty of.Japanese history, and is based on "manuscripts which were dis covered by the author, while he was occupying - a distinguished scholastic position in Japan. In the opening chapters of this story the terrible struggle between the Christians and their-implacable foes, the Japanese Pagans, in the distant and unfamiliar day, when England, Holland and Portugal competed for supremacy in com merce with - Japan, is described with clearness, power, and pietur- es.qe skill. In fact, the author has madejthe most of a fresh theme, and arfresh setting. What About Tt? The following from the Hender son correspondent of the Fort Talley Enterprise discloses a con dition of agricultural affairs that is commanding the serious consid eration of our farmers throughout the county. That such a condition is hurtful to the best-interests of our land owners is a self-evident fact, and that a remedy is greatly desired goes without saying. It seems that we are rapidly drifting to the tenant system, which will- surely become a heavy.drawback to agri culture. However deeply we may deplore this hurtful 'tendency, we cannot see that the land owners can positively lift the blame from their owm shoulders, if blame there be, nor expect any remedy othir than one to be applied by them selves: “We never before saw farming move off so slowly. But little work has been done in this com munity. The greatest drawback is the scarcity of labor. I don’t know of a farmer who has a full complement of hands, and from the outlook I’m afraid some of the farmers are getting a little desper ate. One was heard to tell a ne gro to propose his own trade; that any kind would be perfectly agree able to him (the whiteman). An other offering to let them take his stock and corn off to themselves to work the land on shares. Won’t that demoralize labor? W hile the white-folks are short of labor, on the other hand, the negro farmers are fall to running over, and every negro who has a little corn and fodder has purchased a high priced mule and is renting land, change is certain to come, and it won’t take more than one bad crop year to bring it, and when it does there is going to be shaky times. 1 Evidently there is need here to apply the wisdom of an aggrega tion of farmers and-land owners. Probably the Alliance might prof itably consider the subject. Around About Feagin. BY-LIBERALITY. Oats are looking fine, osving to the warm, spring-like winter. As to wheat, I don’t hear anything about it. Most of the farmers have taken advantage of the flue weather, and are preparing their lands.for plant ing. The school at Anthon Academy will commence on the first Monday in Eebruary, Providence permit ting. Miss Lena Feagin has been elected principal. Oqr schools have been badly split np this year, hence the backwardness to start. Mr. J. T. Walker returned last Thursday from a bird-hunt down the G. S. & F. road, iff'Dooly coun ty. He reports birds scarce, and says he could have done better at. home. The U. S. & A. Club met at Idyl Wylde Park last Saturday after noon, and the meeting was very in teresting. The members covenant ed together to meetregularlyhere after, on the fourth Saturday af ternoon of each month. At the next meeting the question of mel on culture will be discussed in all its phases; preparation of soil, planting; gathering and selling. The question of intensive farming will also be discussed. This will be of great interest to every farm er who will put in practice what proves to be.facts concerning this method of farming. All members of the club are earnestly urged to come out,"and all others who feel interested are cordially invited to attend. Jan. 27th, 1890. Prof. A. J. Gobb, of the State University, has in his possession the pen with which his father, Gen. Howell . Cobb, signed the Constitution of the Confederate States. It is made of heavy gold, with the antique workmanship characteristic of the ante belluln period. It is greatly prized by Prof. Cobb. Among the probabilities of the rr c riear future is a branch road from A local prophet of OrawfoM, ,, , the Georgia Southern & Florida at Tifton, to Thomasville, a distance of about 55 miles.. It is reported that the contract has been award ed, and that the road will' go through Berrien, Worth, Colquitt and Thomas counties, opening an It is reported that an old lady living about 20 miles from Colum bia, South Carolina, has a snake in her left ^rm, above the elbow;.

Mr. Wayne Rushing recently killed ajhog that kicked the beam at 560 pounds net, after being set back with cholera for a month, losing in weight at least 100 pounds during that time. Mr. H. G. Hardison killed four hogs, 18 months old, that weighed 1,345 pounds net. Mr. J. F. Lowe killed one pig ; 6 months old,- that ’ weighed 160 pounds net. I could name many others that have killed heavy hogs. Mr. H. G. Hardison has a re markably good cow, not to have any extra blood about her. This is the 6th year he has been milk ing her without a calf continually The cow was 5 years old at the be ginning of this record, and the av erage yield of milk for the entire time has been 1£ gallons per day. Mr. Hardison also has two mules that have made an excellent work record. Last fall they did all the hauling for a.4-horse farm. They hauled 59 bales of cotton to the gin, a distance of 1 mile, carried about 50 of them to Macon, a dis tance of 20 miles; hauled in about 800 bushels of corn from the farm, and about 1,000 pounds of goods from Macon for a country store each time cotton was carried. Further than this, these males have ploughed up 50 acres of land. All this was done from Sept. 1st 1889, to December 25th, 1889. This is claimed to be good work, and the mules are now as fat and sleek as any in the county. , B, To my Friends and Patrons. I take this method of thanking you for your pqti'oiiage.
