There is no denying
tlie fact that there is more country

Thursday, February 20. emphatically true that we want no

A rich phosphate bed has been

The candidate must be in close

the way of each is hard.
It is reported that • Rev. Sam
Jones has purchased a farm
near Louisville, Kentucky, 1 and
that he will soon move his family
there to live.
The alliancemen will be a posi
tive figure in state and county pol
itics throughout Georgia this year,
though the organization proper

A masonic temple of magnifi-

On the first day subscriptions were

Gov. Gordon is preparing to’es-

purpose he has purchased 24,700
grape vines, of the Concord and
Ives Seedling varieties.
Thebe is no likelihood that the
appointment of negro postmasters

Wire-pulling politicians will
not be allowed to control nomina

year, if we read the signs correct

some choosing, ns well as voting.
The new code of rules of the
House of Representatives was
adopted entirely by republican
votes. They give the Speaker dic
tatorial power, and make the dem
ocratic minority absolutely power
less to prevent vicipus legislaoion.
“He that is not for us, is against
us,” is likely to be the political
slogan of the farmers in Georgia
this year, and it is not unlikely
that they will be able to say who
shall represent the several coun
ties in the next legislature.
The Ordinary of Pulaski county
has been petitioned to order an
other prohibition election in that
county, and the election will be
held as soon as the provisions of
the local option law will allow.
Georgia legislotors should be

have no room for idle, shiftless
men who would not help ■ to keep
the wheels of progress in constant
motion.
The south needs greater devel
opment in every department of
business, the farm, the shop, the
factor, etc. We need more facto
ries to manufacture into articles of
use the crude materials that grow
and are mined here. These facto
ries must have operatives, and
these operatives must have food
and raiment.
As the system of intensive farm
ing progresses, our farms yield
more, and'these products must be
consumed to a considerable degree
in the south, else a large percent
age of the profits are alienated
from the producer.
Much as we need the sturdy, in
telligent, upright sons of the north
and New England, the need that
these over-crowded people have for
the south is much greater. Then
here is a common heed, the ac
quirement on either side producing
a result beneficial and satisfactory
to both. They need our genial
climate, productive soil, and all the
comforts, attractions and natural
advantages that a home in the
south implies. We need them, be
cause we have too few people to
occupy and utilize our extensive
and glorious country as it should
be occupied and used.
The people of the south do not
need these immigrants in a person
al sense, but for the general good
of the south, in hastening the gen
eral development that is now con
stantly progressing. The over
crowded people of the inhospitable
climes north of us need the south
in a personal sense. They need
the opportunity and the room to
win for themselves homes and
comforts. They need the chance
to win, in a free and open “contest,
the full reward of energy honestly
and sensibly applied.
The needs of the two sections
being identical as to the objective
point, that point will surely be
reached. The young, energetic
farmers and artisans now so badly
cramped in their efforts will sure
ly come south. The people of the
south will cordially welcome them,
and together the exceeding great
industrial glory of the best coun
try in the world will reach its full
fruition.
The time is surely coming, and
even now the young men who de
sire the greatest opportunity to
earn a living and more, know that
the advice, “go south, young man,
is wise, and worth following.
Speaker Reed under the rules
and by the force of his audacity,
is complete master of legislation
in the National Hoijse of Repre-
sentatives.\The future has in store
an opportunity-for the democrats
to liken the speaker and the re
publican party to a broken reed.
It is said that John H. Inman
inspected the Western & Atlantic
railroad (the State road) last week,
in company with the northerners
then visiting Atlanta. This act is
regarded as a pointer in the direc
tion of a bid for the lease of that
road, when the time comes.
—Why can’t the merchants of
Perry put fresh coats of paint on
their stores before our beautiful
shade trees put on their spring
clothes? We would then have,
without doubt, the prettiest town
in the state. We have good paint
ers here, now, so that is no longer
an excuse. We hope to see this
suggestion acted upon.
A bloody fight occurred in Har
per, Kansas, last Saturday, over
the result of a bond election. Feel
ing ran high, and the ballot boxes
were stolen the night after the
electipn, before all the votes had
been counted. Out of this fact
grew the riot; over qpe hundred
men used guns, pistols and knives
freely. Two man were killed, and
a dozen wounded. It is well to
call attention to the fact that Hon.
J. J. Ingalls represents Kansas in
the United States Senate. The
said Ingalls persistently and ma
lignantly vilifies the Sputh, as
serting that the ^result of most of
the Southern elections is encom
passed by fraud. .He should now
talk about Kansas.
Reed, and the outrageous work of
the republican majority in dispos
ing of election contests by displac
ing democrats who were ‘elected,
contrary to positive evidence, we
have believed that the political
grave of the republican, party was
being surely prepared. In this
belief the Macon Telegraph com
ments as follows:
“Col. A K. McClure, editor of
the independent Philadelphia
Times, has been in Washington in
vestigating the political situation,
and hak written some very inter
esting letters to his paper. In the
last one of them we have seen, he
indicates that those of the republi
can members of congress who did
not completely lose their heads on
the accession of their party to su
preme control are very uneasy at
the turn affairs have taken. “I
have not met one considerate re
publican leader,” writes Col.
McClure, “and I have met many of
them, who does not fear that
Speaker Reed is sowing dragon’s
teeth which wilUripen into a fear
ful harvest of profligacy, demoral
ization and disaster. * * # * It is
no longer a secret that we are on
the eve of a flood tide of national
profligacy. Many republicans de
plore it, but all fear that it cannot
be restrained.”
This fear is well-founded. The
men who entertain it will not be
able to restrain the republican
party from plunging the country
into the wildest and most demoral
izing profligacy, for the reason
that that party has for years been
taught that profligacy is a good
thing. Its whole policy is based
on the idea that the best way to
gain popular support is to buy it.
The party that believes the citi
zens from whom money is collect
ed in taxes and those to whom it
is paid in pensions, bounties or
protection are all equally enrich
ed, cannot, indeed, be convinced
that there is such a thing as profli
gacy. The necessity of taxing,
which lies upon all governments,
has become to the Republican par
ty a duty, and it feels that it may
dispose of the money raised in any
manner that will benefit those who
support it, or in buying new sup
porters. All sense of responsibil
ity to tax payers has necessarily
been lost, for in the opinion of the
Republican party taxation is a
blessing and taxpayers, therefore,
make no sacrifices to support the
government. The passage of ex
travagant pension bills, the be
stowal of huge subsidies on ship
builders, the erection of numerous
unnecessary public buildings, the
appropriation of large sums for
rivers, harbors, etc., are therefore
logically certain. Congress must
do all these things or the Repub
lican party will be eonvicted of
dishonesty—of making promises it
did not intend to fulfill; of pro
fessing a belief in regard to the
effect of taxation which it does not
really entertain.
Col. McClure is right. We are
on the eve of an era of profligacy,
and the elections next fall will 'de
termine whether it is to continue
until disaster teaches the people
that the Republican policy - is ut
terly vile and demoralizing. We
do not think teaching of that kind
will be necessary. The people are
wise enough without it to know
where profligacy will lead. The
elections will show that they want
none of it. They have been mis
led only as to the republican poli
cy; not blinded to its folly.”
the business
of .ferry nave appreciated the
fact that we needed greater rail
road facilities, and many. efforts in
that direction have been made.
The following from the Perry
correspondent of the Macon Tele
graph seems probable, and we may
entertain the hope that the road
will soon be extended.
“A prominent citizen of Perry is
in receipt of a communication
from Gen. E. P. Alexander of
the Central railroad, stating that
it is his purpose to extend the Per
ry branch of the Southwester rail
road southeaet until a connection
is made with the Savannah and
Western to Savannah and trains
will be run from Fort Valley
through to Savannah. He says
this has been his purpose for some
time, and the work has been de
layed only by other and more
presssing work. This extension
will be made as early as circum
stances will permit.”
The New England farmers who
are abandoning their unproductive
lands, and the western farmers
who complain that their big crops
sell for less than it costs to pro
duce them, cannot fail to appreci
ate the advantages of the southern
agricultural situation. Nowhere
in this broad country has the farm
er a better chance than right "here
in. the rising south.—Atlanta Cort-
stitution.
Professor John Henry Com
stock, the eminent naturalist, be
gins in the New York Ledger of
March 1, a series of six articles on
the study of insects, in which he
describes, not only those insects
which are useful to the farmer, but
also, those which destroy entire
fields of grain, cotton and rice, and
ravage orchards, gardens and
vineyards. He demonstrates how
it was scientifically determined
that an annual average loss of
$30,000,000 has been occasioned
in the South by the cotton-worm
alone; and that an average loss per
year, of nearly $2,400,000, has been
brought about in the apple crop of
Illinois by the ravages of the cod-
lin moth. The series is profusely
illustrated.
Preparations are being made
to sell the old capitol at Atlanta,
under an act passed at the last
session of the legislature. The
minimum price for which it can
be sold is fixed at $125,000, and
Gov. Gordon expresses the opin
ion that the property will bring
. more than that sum.
It has been asserted by intimate
friends that Judge C.F. Crisp will
not be a candidate for gQvernor of
Georgia, but that he-will offer for
re-election to congress. His recent
leadership of the democrats in the
House of Representatives in oppo
sition to Speaker Reed’s infamous
rulings, has surely marked him as
a statesman that must rise among
statesmen. He has already been
named as Speaker of the next
House, when the democrats will be
in control, and then in due line pf
succession he may become Senator
Crisp.
High priced cotton is a delusion
and snare to the farmer. Don’t be
be caught by it Don’t be deceiv
ed by it. Stick to the safe policy
and plant largely in corn and food
crops. There is no other safe
channel open to the southern
farmer; there is no other way to

Fort Valley Enterprise.
’ Last Monday, the frait growers
and a few of our leading businees
men met at Mr. C. G. Gray’s office
and organized .“The Georgia Fruit
Growers’ Association,” with an
authorized capital of $25,000, in
shares of $10, each to be paid in
ten' monthly payments of $1 a
month for each share, and it be
hooves every one wanting stock in
this enterprise to come in and pur
chase it at once, for if they wait
six months they will have to plank
down S6 for every share they take
and then take up the monthly pay
ment, as all the stock must be paid
for in ten months from the date
the charter is granted, which will
be applied for at once. The As
sociation is officered as follows
C. G. Gray, President; S. H.
Rumph, Vice President; W. E.
Brown, Treasurer; and J. F. Trout
man, Jr., Secretary.
The reputable business capacity
of these gentlemen will, at once
give the Association a good stand
ing and no one will be afraid to in
vest their money init,asitis sure to
prove a paying investment and the
stock increase in value 300 per
cent in less than two years. The
object of the Association is pecu
niary gain to the stockholders and
protection to the fruit growers and
shippers. With plenty of money,
they will first see that they have
plenty of crates to ship the crop of
this section, which they will either
buy largely or else establish
crate factory so that they will be
sure of a sufficiency of crates,
Then they will make an effort to
control a sufficient number of re
frigerator cars to transport the
crop without delay and arrange
ample ice to keep the crop during
transit This will probably be done
by erecting an ice factory, which
is sure to be done if the town ever
secures a water supply sufficient to
authorise the manufacture of ice.
The Association will also arrange
to pay farmers who have small
lots of fruit the cash for it on de
livery, and in this way alone they
propose to benefit this section won
derfully, as there will be no cause
for any farmer to woste a single
peck of peaches.
The stock is being taken rapidly
and no doubt every share will be
taken by the time a charter is ob
tained.
Score another live enterprise to
Fort Valley, and keep your ears
open to hear of another one soon,
for the air is full of them and they
are swooping down on us.
I take this method of thanking
you for your patronage.
My receipts this season have ex
ceeded my fondest expectations,
and I am now ready to return-your
kindness by making a reduction of
50 cents per bale in handling your

I do exclusively a cotton busi

Boils and Carbuncles.
It seems strange that any one
will suffer with boils, carbuncles,
etc., when Dr. Bull’s Sarsaparilla
will certainly prevent all Such
eruptive tendencies. It is a sure
and safe antidote for blood poison
arising from whatever source, and
its use when needed should not be
unnecessarily delayed. Thousands
who found extensively advertised
blood medicines to have no efficacy
whatever, are rejoicing in the fact
that Bull’s Sarsaparilla is an ex
ception, and that good health in
variably follows its use. Syphilitic
and scrofulous symptoms disap
pear, the skin becomes clear and
free from pimples, the digestion is
improved, aches and pains cease,
the weight of the body becomes
greater, the flesh more solid, ul
cerative and consumptive tenden
cies disappear, the power of endur
ance is increased, weakness, dizzy
spells and unnatural fatigue van
ish, in a word the user of Bull’s
Sarsaparilla becomes a picture of
good health and strength. Try it.
Use no other.—Dayton Enquirer.
I know the composition of, and
have prescribed Bull’s Sarsaparil
la,and believe it an excellent prep

effect upon the system. I consid
