Supplies for Georgia farms are
never cheap when grown in West
ern States.
The cotton crop of 1893 will be,
in our opinion, close up to 10,000,-
000 bales.
Judge John I. Hall, of Griffin,
Ga., has been appointed assistant
attorney general.
In one respect the Georgia farm
ers is similar to the editor. Neither
ever gets more than he earns.
Ex-Senatob Bayabd of Del a
ware,has been appointed and “con
firmed Embassador to England.
The great strike of cotton, oper
atives in England has been settled,
and all hands will resume work at
once.
The mooditesand fogites failed
to touch the mark in their weather
predictions for the first few days
of April,
Gen. P. M. B. Young, of Geor
gia, has been appointed United
States minister to Guatemala,
South America.
A canning factory will soon be
established at; Sparta. There is
room in Georgia for many other
such enterprises.
The size of the. cotton crop will
never be too great, if the size of the
provision and provender crops is
sufficiently large. -
Between the two Press Associ
ations, the Georgia editors may
secure free passage to and from
the world’s fair, ’ere autumn comes
again.
Embassador is now the title of
the chief minister of the Unite<J
States at the capital of England,
France,Russia, and oth^r nations of
equal grade.

Ten Georgia postmast&is have
been appointed this week, and it is
expected that‘ democrats will be
appointed for all of them in the
course of time.
It is reported from Washington
that President Cleveland has
agreed- to appoint Editor Bascom
Myrick, of the Americas Times Re
corder, Consul general to Berlin.
The remains of ex-President
Polk and his wife will be re-interr
ed in the State Capital grounds at
Nashville, Tenn., by special per
mission of the legislature of the
state. .
Under this caption we desire to
endorse what our correspondent,
“Howitzer,” said last week con
cerning immigration. On the same
line we endorse the article that ap
pears in this issne over thb signa
ture of “Pistol.”
By their fruits ye shall know
t* *hem, is a correct measure of judg
ment, and will apply with equal
force to men, land and trees.
’Twould be utter folly for us to
proclaim one thing, While our acts
assert the contrary continually.
We know that this immediate sec
tion of country has superior ad
vantages; but strangers seeking in
vestment will not take our unsup
ported word for it. They must
have substantial proof. The evi
dences of thrift speak loudest of
the sterling qualities of the resi
dents pf a locality, as well as the
lands thereof. Evidences of un-
thrift assert just the - contrary.
Therefore, if we desire iimmigra
tion, be the purpose what it may,
substantial testimony must be pro
duced to prove that the country is
ns good as we claim it to be. f
If we claim Georgia to be an ex
cellent farming country, we must
show farms on which plenty and to
spare is produced. Farms that
display evidences of deterioration
will not sustain the praise we
voice, and will - repel ’ the home-
seeker, and the man who proposes
to buy land as an investment. The
Georgia farmer who buys western
meat, corn and bay cannot prove
that his farm is a valuable posses
sion. »
As a fruit growing country this
immediate section has been judged
by its fruits,, and the judgment is
emphatically favorable.
If we, desire to induce the es-
tablisment of manufacturing in-
dustriesj we must demonstrate that
the conditions are favorable to the
profitable operation of such indus
tries. We must show our faith by
our works. '
So in every avenue of business,
in the social walks of life, in’.moral
and political affiliations, as \yell as
in the healthfujness of the climate
and the fertility and varied adapt
ability of the soil, we must show
fruits that will sustain our favora
ble assertions.
Our correspondents are eminent
ly correct when they say that im
migration will not bring us pros
perity, if we fail to attain, it for
ourselves.
If' immigration is, indeed, so
greatly desired, then let us show
those who are seeking homes, or
lands for investment, that ours is a
country to which prosperity at
taches readily »and continually.
No matter whether we so choose
or not, our people and our country
will be judged according to their
fruits. And it cannot be said that
such judgment is unjust.
The marshall of Forsyth, Ga.
Mr. Red Harris, was fatally shot by
a, negro outlaw, Nick Nutting,
whom he was attempting to arrest
last Sunday morning. The negro
was also fatally wounded.
The Georgia Chautauqua opened
at Albany last Saturday, and is
now in successful progress. To
morrow,Friday, will be Governor’^
Day, and John Temple Graves
will be the orator of the day.
Gen. E. Kibby Smith, the last of
the full generals of the late, war be
tween the-States, died at his home
iu Nashville, Tenn., last Thursday.
He was 69 years old,, and was one
of the most prominent figures iD
the service of the late Southern
Confederacy.
Ohio republicans have put the
country on notice that Gov. Mc
Kinley, of that state, will be pre
sented to the people as a candidate
for preident. They also declare
that protection must continue to be
the pleading political issue. Just
now democrats are clearing away,
the republican rubbish left on the
premises by the last administration,
but at the proper time they will pre
sent Jthe man and issues-to com
mand another great victory.
The Merchants’ May Week cele-
braiion at Sayannah will begin next
Sunday, 9th iust. The managers
have the thanks of the Home Joub-
nal for an invitation, which in
cludes the privileges of all the fes
tivities and entertainment of the
occasion.
The Duke Cigarette factory was
destroyed by fire, in New York last
Monday morning.- The stock, ma
chinery and building were valued
at $400,000; the loss being fully
covered by insurance.
Speaker -Crisp returned home
from Washington last Monday.
Judge Crisp deserves to be re-elecfc-
ed Speaker, and it is not likely
that he will have any formidable
opposition. V
Sixteen business houses in Car
rollton, G8., including the Carroll
County Times office, were destroy
ed by fire last Monday morning.
The net loss amounts to $16,000.
WAb in South America is prob
able, between Argentine and Bra
zil. The armies are being placed on
a war footing, and fighting may
commence at an early date. - .
It is reported that the peach
crop around Elberton, and other
points in North Georgia, was se
verely injured, if not destroyed,
by cold last week.
It is expected that the United
States Senate will adjourn next
week.
It seems that the tide of immi
gration to Georgia has turned to
the line of the G. S. & F. Tailroad.
Concerning recent land sales, the
Macon correspondent of the Atlan
ta Constitution wrote the folowing
last Saturday:
“A large amount of land contig
uous to Macon ia being sold to
English capitalists and' western
people who wish it for investment
and for settlement by colonists.
Within the past five days four
thousand acres have been sold on
the line of the Georgia Southern
and Florida road to parties from
Ohio who intend to raise fruit. A
tract of laud at Wellston, in Hous
ton county, consisting of 1,700
acres, was sold this week for $2
000. Peach trees will be planted on
the entire place. The 4,000 acres
mentioned above sold from $7to$12
per acre, and will all be converted
into orchards. Prior to this week
several large places have been sold
in near counties at sums ranging
from $8,000 to $16,000.
This section of the state is the
true home of the peach, and the
lands along the line of the Georgia
Southern are well adapted to the
successful groth of fruit.
It is estimated that next seasou one
million peach trees will be planted
along the line of the Georgia South,
ern road.
To-day there is a party of gentle
men from Michigan prospecting
down the Georgia Southern with
a view of buying a large tract of
land for grape culture. Large vine
yards will be established. The Geor
gia grape make the very finest of
wine, and these Michiganders in
tend to make brandy from the halls
of the grapes. Georgia grape'bran-
dy is au excellent article.
Considerable of this land now
being purchased will be devoted
to truck farming, and the canning
of vegetables and fruits will become
a great industry in Georgia. A can
ning factory has just been built at
Tifton.
Georgia’s Dogs.
Macon Telegraph.
Ex-Governor Bullock has been
telling a New York reporter that
we have ten million dogs in Geor
gia. He does not wish his words to
betaken literally, of course. He
really meant to say, and to give the
reason for saying at the same time,
that the sheep raising business in
Georgia will not pay. If there are
not ten million dogs in Georgia,
there are enough to kill all the
sheep which may be brought into
the state, and that amounts to the
same thing from the prospective
sheep farmer’s point of view.
This state of affairs is not one
of which Georgians should be
proud, but it is one which they
will have to endure until there is a
very great change in the temper of
our legislature. As it is now, the
member who introduces a bill in
tended, to lessen the number of
sheep-killing dogs iu the state be
comes at once the butt of ridicule.
Nobody will take him or his bill
seriously, and in most cases, per
haps, he does not wish to be taken
seriously, but to be recognized as
a humorist and a provider of fun
for his colleagues. ~
' But the business is nevertheless
a serious one.' The worthless .dogs
of whose welfare our legislators
are so careful, deprive the state of
a source of wealth that would in
time do much to enrich that class
of our people who are most in need
of help, and have suffered most in
the past from unwise legislation
Anti-dog legislation is not be
neath the dignity of the Georgia
legislator, as he may discover when
he. becomes more of a patriot and
less of a politician- .
—With the last issue of thh Fort
Yalley Leader, Messrs. H. C. Sto
ry and W. F. Wynne retired from
journalism in connection with that
paper. Mr. C. G. Gray "is acting
editor untH. the paper is leased, or
othsr permanent arrangements per
fected. The Home Journal will
extend the right hand- of . editorial-
fellowship to the new editor, and
our best wishes will ever be with
the retiring editors.
—£ I
—While all who promised haven’t
paid,the editor is thankf ul for that
which he received. The hope Is
entertained that a good majority of
those who' attend court next week
will pay .what they owe The Home
Joubnal. It does not worry us at
all to receive and receipt for mon
ey due us.
Pbesident Cleveland will most
likely attend the opening exercises
of the world’s fair on May 1st, and
start the machinery in motion.
It is being-discovered that many
republican officials at Washington
were rascals in actual practice. 1
Mb.' Editor.
Your correspondent
of last week who signs himself
Howitzer, briefly reports his friend
Teninch Colnmbiad as a theorist.
It seems to me that Columbiadis
qaite as accurate as a Whitworth
rifle. His theory cannot miss. In
fact it is double-shotted,and in the
very nature of thiDgs is bound to
score. There can be no doubt that
prosperity in a country and climate
like this would solve the problem
of immigration. Itis almost as cer
tain that there is no other solution,
whatever may be the beliefs of the
prominent men who are soon to
meet in convention at Richmond,
Ya. O, the failures and fail a res that
conventions have wrought. Aud yet
our public men continue to believe
in them, just as our friends in *the
country continue to believe in
methods that have failed invari
ably for twenty-seven consecutive
years.
Nowif Columbiad’s double-shot
ted theory, being tested practically,'
should not at all affect the tides of
immigration, still it would accom
plish the only result that makes
immigration desirable. If this re
sult cannot be accomplished with
out immigration, then obviously it
cannot be accomplished at all. If
our own people unaided, cannot
achieve prosperity, it must be con
cluded that prosperity is impractic
able here, and whatever capital
might be brought by immigrants
would sooner or later evanish. But
there is nowhbre < a better country
than this, and prosperity is attain
able, and prosperity never has fail-
edjto attract from abroad both men
and means.
Not very many years ago a fruit
farm at Willow Lake was supposed
to be a visionary man’s dream, and
friend^ who loved him for bis ami T
ability, pitied him for his folly.
He has done more for immigration
than all the conventions that have
met. The reason is plain.

For example, we’re selling
