Maoon Telegraph. The total value, of all animals on farms in the United States in 1899 was $1,718,865,561. The crops were worth $2,988,704,412. The live stock consumed $974,940,- 616 worth of provender. of e.very description, while* $2,028,V68,796 represents the. value nf crops mar keted and kept for the use oE pro ducers. Farm aud animal prod ucts represent the wealth, the bone and sinew, of the majority of our Southern States. These products feed the entire country and And their way to foreign shores. Therefore information concerning them must prove of interest to the public. Georgia’s output of all farm products for 1899 was valued at $104,804,476.. Live stock con sumed $12,158,800 of these prod ucts, while $92,145,676 represents the value of those marketed. All animal products in Georgia were worth $17,959,188; forest prod ucts, $8,917,119; all orops, $88,- 128,224; acres of ail orops, 8,412,- 907. It will emphasize what Georgia is doing in an agrioultu- al way to compare the figures given with another Southern state. The valuation of all farm prod ucts in'Tennessee is given at $106,- :.66,440. Live stock consumed $18,480,810 of this product;. That state’s animal products were val ued at .$35,421,198; forest, 5,086,- 624; crops, $65,658,618; acres of all crops, 6,890,550. It will be noticed that Georgia only exceeds Tennessee in the value and acre age of all crops. In the value of all farm products, amount fed tq live stock, animal and forest •products, Tennessee had a good !ead over our .state. It is some what surprising Georgia should be so much behind Tennessee in the value of forest products, wheu we consider the relative sizes of the two states. Wc have 17,280 more square miles than our sister state, an area larger than New Hamp shire and New Jersey combined. We exceeded Tennessee too, by 200,000 in population. The, figures for Alabama will probably prove interesting. The total value of farm products, $91, 887,409; fed to live stock, $10, 095,690 in provender; animal products, $18,196,689; forest produces, $2,494,452; va^ue of all crops, $70,1396,268; acres in all crops, 6,792,868. Alabama makes a very good showing, but does not equal this state. Georgia seems to be behind in the several products of the farm, more so than in the field crops. Our farmers have neglected the more general for the particulars. But there has been a perceptible awak ening in past two years, and we expect good results. Cleveland tf Fruitful Topic. V Savannah Nows. The politicians and the news papers are finding Mr. Cleveland aiid his supposed oandidacy for the presidential nomination of his party a fruitful subject of po litical gossip and news. In pretr ty nearly all parts of the country men prominent i,n public life are giving their opinion of Mr. Cleve land and his chances for being at the head of his party’s ticket in 1904. Even Senator Quay, the Republican boss of Pennsylvania, couldn’t withstand the tempta tion of expressing his opinion as to what course Mr. Cleveland should pursue if he .really wants to be a presidential candidate. “He must not appear too eager for it,” says the astute M.t. Quay. “He should put himself in the position of a receptive candidate. He. should say positively that he is not a candidate, and then, if he should become a candidate, be would develop .in the convention. I do not see muoh chalice for him if he should engage in a fight for the uolniuation, since he is a leader of one of the factions of his party, but if he gets the nom ination it must come to him on a silver platter.” A majority of the politicians will doubtless agree that Senator Quay is about right. Hon. Henry Watterson has ta ken a new viewof Mr, Cleveland’s supposed' candidacy. He says: “The milk in the Cleveland coco nut is J. Pierpont Morgan, and when Morgan puts his hand to a job, be it a railway merger, a ship combine or a presidential boom, it were well that prudent men made note of it.” Has Mr. Wat tersori .guessed it? ,i He thinks he •has. It is his opinion that Mr. Morgan and other financiers pro pose to make Mr. Cleveland the Democratic candidate, put up the money ueoesstiry to enable him to carry New York, New Jersey, Con neoticut and the one other electo ral vote necessary to elect, rely ing on the solid South, reduced to a choice between Roosevelt and Cleveland, to take Cleveland. A1.1 this makes interesting read ing, As to the amount of truth there is in it-, each reader oaii form his own opinion. In the meantime Mr Cleveland is fish ing, and keeping his own counsel. Doubtless the speculation of Mr. Quay, Mr. Wattferson and hun dreds of others just as prominent amuse himbis he baits his hook. NO. 22. The Fifteenth Amendment. ' . T m / 1 Providence Journal, v In the rancor whioh followed the civil war the experiment was tried of admitting the uewly emancipated race to a full and uutrammeled Blmre in the electo ral franchise. Undoubtedly, some approved the experiment in the delusion that it wa9 an act of jus tice. But justice played no part in its enforcement during the dark days of reconstruction; in dignities that most northerners now regret were, heaped upon the people of the vanquished south, and license' rather than liberty was what the negro indulged in. Most assurdedly, the experiment has failed. No detijal will or can obliterate the fact. The negroes as a mass were not then, and are not vet, fit’ for the suffrage; It is inevitable that they should be deprived of it, and any attempt to oppose the efforts in the south to find constitutional means to eliminate them .from politics will in the end be of no avail. It will do no more t.haii, complicate and postpone the inevitable solution of a problem that ought to be left tp the south, whioh under stands it, to ^olve. The relations between the two raoes are not properly adjusted. Those who say that they can b'e properly ad justed along the lines of the fif teenth amp fidment are the blind who will n ot see, w' •i m John Mitohel, colored, e^itpr of a paper in Richmond, declared in the course of an address deliver ed in Roanoke, Va„ the other day that “race equality does hot ex ist. nevervhas existed and never will exist,;’’ that the better class of negroes, just like the wnites, desire a separation of races, and that “the whites of the South, es pecially the old ex-slaye owners, are the best friends and only true friends df the colored race.” Editor Mitohel is evidently a man of, discernment and Common sense. , • is,*?; We have the best equipped repair shop in the state, our work and prices are sure to please you. and Fainting.

In almost every neighborhood' someone has diedj from an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procur ed or a physician, summoned.

While Russia is protesting her good intentions^ and meanwhile strengthening her self in Munehuiia, Japan is work ing overtime at increasing her navy in anticipation of what she seems to regard as an inevitable conflict. The Japanese' govern ment a few days ago piesented to Parliament a bill providing at once $50,000,000 for new war ships and $55,000,000 fpr the run ning expenses of construction for a period of twelve years.
