Georgia agriculture is decidedly
on the up grade.
Georgia farmers have discarded
the ail cotton system in favor of
diversified crops, keeping in view
the physical needs of the farm,
According to Professor John. Y.

of the United State amounts to

It is said that more grain has
been planted in Jasper county than
at any time since the war, and it is
estimated that with good seasons,
the yield will be 50,000 bushels,
As we sell great Britain annual

The indications are that trust

extensively in Georgia this year.
Barn-yards will furnish a larger

Sugar refining in Georgia is sure
to become an important industry:
Georgia syrup is the best made,

mason and Dixon’s Line.
A bill has been introduced in
the Maryland Legislature for the
re-establishment of the boundary
line between Maryland and Penn
sylvania, commonly called Mason
and Dixon’s Line. The bill which
appropriates §5,000, requests the
superintendent ofthe United States
Coabt and Geodetic Survey to pro
vide for the accurate re-establish
ment of the line and to remark the
same with monuments. When the
line was originally run in 1767 by
two Eoglish astronomers, Charles
Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, it
cost more than §170,000. After
years of bad feeling and blood

A Wilkinson county farmer says
Grain crops never looked better,
No gurano here yet. Guano men
have not yet contracted, saying the
prices are too high, and several
say that they do not want it at any
price.
The area devoted to small grain
in Houston county is much greater
than usual, and if the seasons are
suitable there will be more home
made flour in the county this y6ar
than at any other time within a
quarter of a century.
Grass, grain, hog,'hominy and
cotton factories would prove tlie
salvation of the south. A big cot

crop at a big price with lots of corn

better than a Klondyke gold mine.

Farm work about Lovett is pro

abundance of wheat and oats were
planted last fall,and much more
corn will be planted this year than'
was last. Not a sack of guano has
been sold’here thisseasoD, and the

be planted, but our farmers are not

Here’s a pointer for Georgia
farmers from the Kansas City
Journal: Com isn’t king in Missou
ri. In fact it scarcely measures up
to the ten-spot level. Bat the
helpfa! hen is entitled to cackle.
The cash realized od the sale of
eggs and poultry produced in the
state last year exceeded the sum
for which its entire shipments of
cereals was sold. Fay more at
tention to the hen. There's more
money in chickens and eggs than
in corn.
Stood Death Off.
E. B. Munday, a lawyer of Hen
rietta, Tex., once fooled a grave
digger. He says: “My brolher was
very low with malarial fever and
jaundice. I persuaded him to try
Electric Bitters, and he was soon
much better, but continued their
use until he was wholly cured. I
am sure Electric Bitters saved his
life.”, This remedy expels malar
ia, kills disease germs and purifies
the blood; aids digestion, regu
lates liver, kidneys and bowels,
cures constipation, dyspepsia, ner
vous diseases, kidney troubles, fe
male complaints; gives perfect
health. Only 50c at Holtzclaw’s

Last year the scarcity of the
live product in this country, which
sent the price of meat up apprecia
bly, even in oar own cities, was
felt acutely in England. This is
shown by the fact that, though
England consumed daily in 1899
2,865 head of foreign cattle, she
ennsumed ninety-five less a day
than she did in 1898, and, as we
did in the United States, depend
ed more upon sheep and hogs.
This trade will be kept up, be
cause there is no other oountry on
tbe globe save this where' a suffi
cient surplus of food is raised to
supply the English market. Hence
there is no likelihood of any trou
ble coming up that will put aside
self-interest.
Does It Pay To Buy Cheap?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results of throat and luogtrou
bles. What shall you do? Go to
a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible; if not pos
sible for you, then in either case
take the ONLY remedy that has been
introduced in all civilized coun
tries with success in severe throat
and lung troubles, “Boschee’s Ger
man Syrup.” It not only heals and
stimulates the tissues to destroy
the germ disease, but allays infla-
mation, causes easy expectoration,
gives a good night’s rest, and cures
the patient. Try oi^e bottle. Rec
ommended many years by all
druggists in the world. Sampie

woman has brought a suit for §15,-

on the place, and the owners of the
buildings in which the saloons are
situated. She alleges that through
the illegal dispensing of liquor her
husband has become a habitual
drunkard, therefore she prays the
court to award her damages from
the city because of its failure to
enforce the law, and from the sa
loon keepers and property owners
because of their failure to observe
the law.

that will accrue under it to particu
lar lines. The American line, [for
instance, will admittedly receive
$2,000,000 for the ships it has al
ready built, without increasiug its
tonnage or value to the country in
the least degree. The opponents
of the bill claim that this one line
will receive in all §18,000,000,-but
§2,000000is theamouot concedeciby
the friends of the bilk According:
to the reports of the British Post
master General and Admirality, it
seems that about $750,000 is paid
annually by Great Britain to her
great and swift steamship Hubs,
while the United States would have
paid last year, if this bill bad then
been a law, very nearly §5,000,000
a year. This is on ships now spil-
ng under tbe American flag, and
has nothing whatever to do with
new vessels that may be built.
Nothing will be altered by me

cept a possible slight increase-m

pays her subsidies almost exclu

manner that they can be trans
formed into cruisers at almost a

The absurd contention of the
present Anglomaniac administra
tion that the Transvaal is not a
sovereign state, and is therefore
not entitled to send nor receive
ministers, has been definitely An
swered by Montague White, the
South African diplomat now in
this city. He said recently: “Dr.
Leyds, the Transvaal agent; has.
been officially received and recog
nized as minister plenipotentiary:
by Russia, France, Germany, Bel-
gium, and Portugal. He i3 sfid-
cessor to Jonkheer Blockland, who
was received at these courts before
him, aod who for many years rep
resented the South African repub
lic in Europe. To deny this is to
disclose either unbonded ignorance
or wilful hostility to my goverfl-
ment.” Dispatches from Paris,
printed this morning, show that
Dr. Leyds has been received by
the French minister of foreign Af
fairs and has dined with President
Loubet. In vie »v of these facts, of
which the State Department may
possibly have been ignorant, it
has become probable that a repre
sentative of the Transvaal would
now be received if one should come
to this country. The Republican
leaders have become alarmed at
the rising storm of indignation to
wards the administration for its
conspicuous violation of neutrality,
and have been urging the Presi
dent to receive an envoy if one
should be sent. It is suggested
that he would really be powerless
to help his country or to hinder
the British, while his reception
would have a good effect on the
German and Irsh vote.
New York has withdrawn from
the race for the Democratic con
vention, surrendering the rooms
engaged here for the meeting of
the national committee. The fight
now lies between Kansas City,
Cincinnati; and Milwaukee, with
the chances largely in favor of the
last named. It is believed that
New York withdrew at the instance
pf Mr. Bryan, who objected to the
convention being held in the east.
Kansas City is making a hard fight
for the choice, but its location is
against it. Missouri is already safe
and Kansas and Nebraska are the
only states that could possibly be
influenced by holding the conven
tion at Kansas City. Milwaukee,
on the other hand, is in the center
of the German disaffection on the
expansion puestion, and it is hoped
that the holding of the convention
in that city may influence the vo
ting in pretty much all the north
west and with six or eight doubt
ful states. John R. McLean, of
Cincinnati, is making a good fight
for his city, however, claiming for
it tbe same advantages that are
conceded to Milwaukee.

Discussion of the New York cus-
tom house deal was revived recent
ly by the sending to Congress by
Secretary Gage, of a request for
an appropriation of $109,847 Tto
pay rent to the “Rockefeller” Na
tional Bank for the occupancy pf
the building.' It will be remem
bered: that in answering the de
mand of Congress for information
on this point,, the Secretary stated
that ho refit had been paid. This
was of course, literally true; but, in
view of the agreement to payTrent
shown by his own request for an
appropriation it can only bp char
acterized as a pitiful evasion of the.
facts. That the Republican Sed
ate so considers it, is shown by its
