What shad we do with Cuba? is a
question that is seriously agitating
tho minds of United States politi
cians and statesmen. Most repub
licans entertain a hope of annexa
tion, while democrats say the pledge
of independence given by our con

earliest moment possible.
lUf „
During the April term of Hous-
jton Superior court, we talked with
nearly every;farmer who came to
Perry, and from forty we received
1 direct answers to the questions:
J How does your cotton acreage
! this year compare with last?
Have you increased your acreage
in corn, wheat, oats and other food
crops?
Are you using as much guano as
you did last year?
• Of these forty only nine will plant
as much cotton as they culiteated
last year. Seven will plant about the
same, and two have increased their
entire farm acreage, and will have
more acres in cotten.
The other 31 have reduced their
cotton acreage, as follows: J de
crease, 5; J off, 5; J less, 7; 10 per
cent, 5; 15 and 20 per cent, 3 each;
5 per cent less, L
Without exception the decrease in
cotton acreage has been met with a
proportionate increase in com, oats,
wheat, peas, etc,, and several, who
have not decreased the cotton acre
age have increased their food and
forage crops.
As to guano, 4 out of 40 have
bought ss much as they used last
year; 5 will not use any commercial
fertilizer at all; 3 will use 75 per
cent less; 4 § less; 5 £ less; 6 J less,
and the others from 10 to 20 per
cent less. All agree, however, that
they will have supplied the guano
decrease with home-made manure.
The opinion prevails that there is
an aggregate reduction in the c >tton
acreage throughout the country, but
it is difficult to come anywhere near
the percentage. It is believed, how
ever, that the reduction is about 10
or 15 per cent. .
The increase in food and proven
der crops is believed to be fully 25
per cent.
We were told by farmers from ev
ery district, and by dealers that the
decrease in the amount of guano
purchased is 25 per cent or more.
The increase in the quantity of
home-made manure being used may
be safely estimated at 25 per cent.
The benefit will be with the farm
ers when harvest time comes.
Farm Crops Near Eclteconnee.
The farmers of this section of old
Houston are progressing nicely with
their work. The acreage or com has
been increased over last year about
20 per cent; the cotton crop has
been decreased about 10 per cent.,
while the wheat acreage is increas
ed over last year about 75 per cent.
The oat crop is decreased about 30
per cent, owing to the wet fall and
spring • oats being killed: this oat
land has been planted in com. The
use of guano has been decreased
about 60 per cent., while the barn
yard manure has been increased ful
ly 10 per cent. Never have there
been better stands of com than our
farmers now have. Some cotton is
coming up, while the majority is
just planted and some not planted.
There will be about 20 per cent, in
crease in ground peas. The sweet
potato crop cannot be estimated yet,
but it will be larger than usual.
Every farmer is trying to raise his
own meat and lard at home at small
cost. A. McD. King.

port similar to the above from each

Trying- to Deserve It.
The Elkonian last Saturday con
tained some advice to Houston citi
zens coupled with commendation for
the Home Journal. We hope the
advice will be followed fully,-and
extend our thanks most cordially to
Editor McNair for the compliment
given us in the following notice:
“Every citizen of Houston county
should take his county paper. There
is not in the state of Georgia a more,
reliable and better edited county pa
per than the Houston Home Jour
nal. Good as it is, Editor Hodges
could make it even better' with a
more unanimous and enthusiastic
support of the county he so nobly
and successfully champaions.”
Mercer University and the Geor
gia State University will meet in
debate at Atlanta next Monday
night, each college represented by
three students. The question to be
debated is, ‘“Resolved, that a perma
nent policy of colonial expansion
would be beneficial to the. United
States.” The University of Georgia
students will speak affirmatively.
The Current Review, published by
The Review Publishing Company,
Macon, Ga., is a new candidate for
literary favor. The April number,
which is No. 1 of Volume 1, is be
fore us, and shows up well. The
character of its contents, the ar
rangement and illustrations, give
promise of a worthy and successful
magazine. We understand Mr. H. C.
Hanson, late of the Macon Tele
graph, is managing editor. This in
itself is a guarantee that the Review
will be held up to a high standard
of literary merit.

From the books of the county
commissioners we find that there are
79 paupers receiving monthly from
§1.00 to §5,00 per month. We con
sider the salary of clerk of board of
county commissioners rather small
for the amount of service rendered.
The school commissioner has on
file proper vouchers for all money
expended by him, and we find that
there were in operation in Houston
county during the past year sixty
schools, twenty-seven white and thir-
three colored. The school term was
130 days, or 26 weeks, 19 weeks of
which were taught in the spring, be
ginning January 10th, and 7 weeks
in the fall, beginning October 31st.
The spring term was unusually
well attended, the enr&llment of
both white and colored schools, as
well as the average attendance, be
ing greater than ever before in the
history of the public schools of the
county. The fall term, however, was
in more respects than one far from
satisfactory, especially in attend
ance, insomuch that while the total
enrollment of the whites for the year
was about 8 per cent, and that of
the colored about 10 per cent great
er than ever before, the average at
tendance was so much decreased by
the fall term as to fall below that of
the previous year. This may be ac
counted for in some measure, but
not altogether, by the fact of the
great October storm and subsequent
bad weather so delaying the gather
ing of the crops as to make it neces
sary, in many cases, to detain the
children at home during the prog
ress of the schools for that purpose.
The total enrollment of white chil
dren in the county during 1898 was
1,033; them average attendance was
637.68; the total enrollment of the
colored children was 2,749; their
average attendance 1,401.56. The
amount of money paid out on ac
count of the public schools of the
county during the year 1898, in
cluding the cost of taking the school
censes, was §17,404.74. Of this
amount th% Perry Public School re
ceived §1,364.17, and the Fort Val
ley Public School §2,568.87. The
class of teachers of white schools
employed by the board of education
was good, and the work done by
them in most cases eminently pro
gressive and satisfactory. In the
case of colored teachers small sala
ries were paid, and of course -the
best teachers could not be seemed.
It must not be concluded, however;
that the negroes are not learning
anything. Even with their limited
facilities they are making some
progress both in the acquisition of
knowledge from books, and of a bet
ter idea of what it takes to consti-
stute good morals, thus qualifying
them, we hope, to make better citi
zens than they would make without
any education at all. The paramount
need of the schools at present is the
cordial and complete co-operation of
the parents with the teachers and
the pupils. Let parents and guardi
ans show their appreciation of the
importance of the work being done,
and their sympathy and encourage
ment of those so arduously engaged
in doing it, by visiting the schools
occasionally, and seeing what is
needed, either in the matter of
school appliances or school buildings
that may add to the convenience or
comfort of teacher and pupils. Until
this is the case we cannot have that
character of complete success which
is the result of enthusiastic effort
upon the part of all concerned, par
ents, teachers and pupils.

It was rumored in this neck of
the woods that Perry went dry last
week and it must be true, for we
took a day off to see the old town,
and after getting the slickest,
smoothest shave at the Andrews
barber shop that we have had since
the war, we went out aud winked
and winked and winked, and for
each wink there was a sad, scared
shake of the head. We feel such
great sympathy for the boys in their
dry state that we will right now
take a small mint julip to their
health. Here goes! Before I could
shove my pen over a single line Bill
Hurdle came in, and as he was in
great sympathy with the boys, too,
why*'of. course I made him a small
mint julip.
N >w that Perry has got her mor
als straight, let her business men
wake up and capture some of the
cotton trade of this section. I say
this because I feel a pride in my
county town, and this section is in
its legitimate territory. Three hun
dred bales of cotton from around
here went to ‘ Marshallville last sea
son. Such should not be the case,
but then I guess your people know
why it was done.
The chaingang is now grading
down the hills cn the Grovania road.
These are the worst hills in this sec
tion, and will be a great relief to the
public when worked. Commissioner
Hodge stands firm in his determina
tion to use the chaingang only on
such parts of the roads that can’t be
worked by the common laborer. It
was the use of the chaingang here
tofore on roads that needed no work
that has caused such great expense
aud dissatisfaction.
Farming is still progressing nice
ly, but just for luck we would like
to see a nice shower of rain.
Our champion baseball team ran
against a snag over in Elko on last
Saturday by a score of 1 to 0. Our
boys played well, but the Elkonians
better, and of course got the plum.
Mr. Houser Edwards umpired the
game to the perfect satisfaction of
both, sides. In fact, he was about
the hardest young umpire to rattle
that we ever tackled. The feature
of special mention was the splendid
batting aud base running of the El-
konions, for when a short legged
fellow couldn’t run his bases, a long
legged one would grab him by the
seat of his breeches and carry him
around. Honors are still in our fa
vor, as our man wallered the best
man in Elko. Our little boys would
like to cross bats with the junior
ball players of Perry, provided they
will meet them on the Elko dia
tuond.
