SOLDIER, MAIDEN and FLOWER.
“Sweetlienit.take this,” a soldier said,
“Aud bid me a brave good-bye;
It ruay befall'we ne’er shall meet,
But love can never diel
«Bo steadfast in thy troth to me,
And then, whate’er my lot,
Jly soul to God. my heart to thee;
Sweetheart, forget me not.
The maiden took the tiny flower
And fed it with her tears;
Lo, he who left her in that hour
Game not in after years.
Upon the field a demon rode
Mid Bhower of flame and shot,
While in the maiden,s heart abode
The flow’r forget-me-not.
And when he came not with the rest,
From out those years of blood,
Closely unto her widowed breast
She pressed the withered bud.
Oh, there is love, and there is pain—
And there is peace, God wot;
Aud these dear three do live again
In sweet Forget-me-not.
‘Tis to his unmarked grave to-day
That I should love to go—
Whether he wore the blue or gray,
What need that we should know?
“He loved a woman,” let us say,
Aud on that hallowed spot,
To woman’s love' that lives for aye,
We’ll strew Forget-me-not.

A Good Policy for Farmers.
m
Harvie Jordon in Macon Telegraph.
Discussing the eondifcions
Jasper county, Mr. Jordon said:
“My crops are good, equal to
any I have ever raised. My cot
ton crop was very good, and I have
got it stored in a warehouse on
my place. There are four ware
houses at Montecello jamb full of
cotton, and every bale of it is
owned by the farmers who raised
it-not a dollar owed on it. In
additon to cotton stared in the
warehouses, many farmers like
myself store their cotton at home
When the market price suits them
they will haul it in and sell it, as
I shall do,”
“Cotton is our best crop, provi
dec! it is not made to bear the en
tire burden of the farm; in that
event it is not. The farmer can
eat his cotton. If he devotes his
entire time and effort to raising
nothing but cotton and buying
his supplies—the things he can in
the main produce on the farm,
cotton raising will prove a losing
business. On the other hand, the
farmor that raises his wheat,
corn, and meat on liis farm, and
thus makes cotton a surplus crop,
will find that he is engaged ill the
safest business in the country. If
he is out of debt and produces his
living on the farm, no panic can
ever carry him to the wall.
“Diversified farming, if adopted
as the ruling policy by Georgia
farmers, will assure prosperous
conditions in this state. This
year our cotton will be worth in
the neighborhood of $40,000,000
Of this sum the farmers will hayg
to pay one-fourth, or approximate
ly $10,000,000, for guano. By
and by, if we do not diversify our
crops more generally, the farm
ers will pay one-third of the value
of*the-cotton crop for guano. The
diversification of the crops, there
by giving back to the soil a’pay-
ment in natural enrichnient..for
what it* gives—and the raising of
corn and other cereals, and the
meat required to feed the family
find help is proper and necessary
iis a policy for the farmer to adopt
I am glad to note a general awak
ening on tlii3 line among the far
mers of Georgia. .
A Washington special to the
Atlanta Constitution says: “There
has beeii absolutely no effort on
our part to make political capi
tal out of the coal strike, and
there will be none. All the po
litical talk has come from the
other side. Judging from its tone
there seems to be a conviction in
republican circles that the condi
tions illustrated by the coal strike
have made and are daily making
a lot of votes for democratic can
didates in all parts of the country.
Some of their best politicians re
gard the election of a democratic
house a certainty, and in this con
clusion we agree with them fully.
Howevet, we are not counting our
chickens yet; we will do that in
November.”
This prophecy of democratic
victory was made today by Judge
Jim Griggs, chairman of the dem
ocratic national campaign com
mittee. Judge Griggs has not
been conducting a claim-every-
thing-with confidence campaign.
He has from the first been very
cautious of his utterances. When
he consented to take charge of the
democratic fight he had little
hope of victory and he made no
claims. As the campaign pro-
essed, bringing as it has advi
ces of a confidential character
from every congressional district
and revealing at the same time
the chaotic conditions in republi
can ranks, he has taken heart and
now makes his prediction of a
democratic victory with an air of
confidence that meaus something.
As he talked Judge Griggs sat
at his desk at headquarters in the
Colonial hotel annex, where
through the medium of a long dis
tance telephone connection he is
in daily—almost hourly—commu
nication with branch headquar
ters at the Hoffman house in New
York and at the-old Inter-Ocean
building in Chicago. Former
Congressman Ben Cable, recog
nized as one of the best democrat
ic politiciaas of the west, is m
charge of the western headquar
ters, while Judge Griggs has been
devoting much of his personal
attention to the New York end.

A Fit Punishment.

The Crown Prince of Siam
being entertained officially during
his visit to this country, but his
reception is nothing to compare
with the gorgeous greeting accord
ed Prince Henry of'Prussia. We
are intensely republican in the

The New York Sun grows ex
ceeding wroth over the declara
tion of Mr. Bryau that theHieu
who “form trusts to rob the peo
ple should be put into stripes.”
Senator Foraker has also been
grievously offonded by this re
mark and retorts that they who
propose such a thing should be
made to wear stripes themselves.
Now, what is there wrong" about
Mr, Bryan’s advocaoy of stripeB
for “those who form trusts to rob
the people?” He simply propos
es to enforce the law.
The Sherman act provides ex
actly the punishment that Mr.
Bryan would like to see imposed
where the evidence is sufficient.
It would be well for the country
if those in authority had some
thing like Mr. Bryan’s view of
the proper method of applying
the anti-trust law.
Ex-Ssnator Edmunds said a few
days ago that the main reason
why the trusts are not checked
lies not in defects of the laws
against them, but in the faot that
the executive aud judicial officers
of the government are deficient
either in the ability or the will to
enforce those laws. -
The remark that has brought
down upon Mr. Bryan the con
demnation of the Now York Sun,
Senator Foraker and other apolo v
gists of the trusts is one of the
best things we have ever seen •from
that gentleman.
He believes in the Mikado’s
“object all sublime to make the
punishment fit the crime.”

from which he this jmar sold $15,-

a Western editor and tells -of an

owned by Judge Wellhouse. Jhe
orchard covers 15,000 acres and
the judge’s profit this year will
run up to $35,000. He has already
sold about 50,000 bushels of fruit.
