A GOOD STORY.
a Poor Mas
Town People Largely Responsible.
If all the advice given without
asking to the fanners of Georgia
within the last thirty * years had
been paid for at a professional
rate many newspaper writers and
politicians would now lit? immense
ly rich. Much of that advice was
good when given, and is good now,
but one feature of the excessive
production ot cotton has been left
practically unmentioned. Con
cerning this a Southwest Georgia
farmer wrote the Macon Telegraph
last week, as follows:
“The root of the trouble is that
cotton has been for many years,
the basis of all credit to the far
mers by banks, merchants and,
lastly but not leastly, the land
lords, and the latter possibly
more than any others above men
tioned.
When the farmer wants a little
credit he is asked how much cot
ton he will plant, not how many
bushels of corn or wheat or how
many pounds of pork, beef or mut
ton, but how much cotton, first,
last and all the time. The land
lord demands bis rental in cotton
in nearly every instance. Thus
the poor devil of a tenant farmer
is forced to plant cotton when he
knows there is nothing in the stuff
for him, to the neglect of food
crops for man and beast. I do
not know the percentage of tenant
farmers in the state in comparison
to those who own their farms, but
there are thousands of them a in
Georgia, black and white, and
they play a conspicuous part in
over production of cotton.
“Let the landlords, in renting
their farms of 1899 to tenants, say
they will take a bushel of wheat
for an acre, two bushels of corn or
twenty pounds of lint cotton,
and beef and pork at market
prices ;then you will see a change
in cotton production and a better
state of affairs for landlord’s
attendants. Tenants should in
form their landlords that they will
not make cotton notes exclusively
for rent. Rents are too high.
Landlords should not ask $3 per
acre for land that is uot worth $1.
Down here in South Georgia im
proved land sells for $5 an acre
and rentg for $3, and some of it so
poor you can hardly raise a row *>n
it, let alone a crop. Generally a
landlord is getting along slick
while the tenant has noth:: _r L‘'t
of a hard year's work—no money,
no clothes and nothing L< **at All
gone to pay rent. Tenant*.should
insist on measured land. No one
farm in fifty has as many acres as
represented by the owner, and
unless he can get cheap rent he
had better let his landlord start a
broom eedg^ crop. The tenant
will be better off next fall.”
Novel Hatching.
There is one peculiar industry
in the Philippines which is prof
itable and easy. It is described
in the last consular report on
commercial an industrial con
ditions in the Philippines in the
following language:
“Artificial inubation, however,
is perhaps the industry most pe
culiar to the Philippines. The
apathy of the natives adapt them
to this occupation, in which, how
ever, only those who are old or
crippled are employed. They are
on soft beds, the eggs being placed
around their bodies, and maintain
this position until the eggs are
hatched. Ducks are raised in
large quantities.”
The above extract from the con
sular reports us a held of useful
ness that has been neglected in
the United States and it would be
a sight for the gods to happen
over on the Philippines a few
years from now and, upon asking
for some former Georgian, be in
formed that “they are on their
nests and caa’t be seen.”
Seriously, however, the consular
report actually gives the above
method of hatching chickens and
ducks as a very important indus
try of the islands.
The report also tells of the nu-
*
merous and large tobacco fac
tories, rice factories, soap fac- 1
tories, sugar mills, distilleries,
carriage factories, brick yards, ‘
saw mills, printing establishments
and' numerous industries, in
dicating that Manila at least has
a good start toward civilization.
It is stated that the manufacture
of cotton goods often form the
occupation of an entire village.
The sugar, rice and coffee pro
duction are the chief industries
(aside from artificial incubation)
on the islands.
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs 'were undermined and
death seemed imminent: For three
months she coughed incessantlv. and
;
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing of us j
a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that slie
slept all night: and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes

“The most desperate personal act I
witnessed during the war was perform
ed by a Wisconsin cavalryman,” said
C. J. Hilton of Madison. “It was- at
Fleetwood Hill, and the man discounted
the capture made at Ciudad Rodrigo by
Charles O’Malley’s man, Mickey I rc;^
The Wisconsin man rode out between
two great cavalry forces—Union and
Confederate—and attacked a lieutenant
and two men belonging to Jeb Stuart’s
force, and after a l^and to band saber
fight, lasting fully ten minutes, cap
tured the three and brought them in. It
was the prettiest fight of the kind I ever
saw, and the Wisconsin trooper was
cheered by every man on onr side who
witnessed his act and by some of Stu
art’s riders. I don’t know who the man
was, but my recollection is that he be
longed to the Second Wisconsin. ”
A man who wore the Loyal Legion
button said he did not think the Second
Wisconsin was in the fight with-Stuart
at Brandy Station and Fleetwood Hill
lie asked for the story, however:
“I was a member of the Eighth New
York,” said Mr. Hilton, “and our regi
ment was part of the cavalry command
sent under Pleasonton to look up Jeb
Stuart just before Gettysburg. We
found Stuart—yellow sash, black hat
plumes, gold spurs and all that—at
Brandy Station, and with him were all
bis riders. The fight was a hot one, and
we came very near being beautifully
whipped, although we claimed the vic
tory on the ground that we learned
what we wanted to know—where Stu
art was and what Lee was about. Some
of the heaviest fighting of the day was
at a spot called Fleetwood Hill, and it
was there that the Wisconsin trooper
captured his three men.
“We had been at it hammer and j
tongs for two or three hours, when
there came one cf those let ups you all
have seen—for all the world like two
bulldogs looking for a fresh hold. While
both sides were waiting for the order to
advance* a Confederate lieutenant and
two men rede cut frern tLeir tents,
moving toward ns as if searchix-g for
something on the field. Everybody cn
our side watched them and wondered
what they were looking for. The two
lines were fully two-thirds cf a mile
apart, and the three had get about a
fnird of the way across toward u&
Then over on the right of our line was
a stir and commotion, and the excite
ment spread along until it reached us.
“The right of our line was*concealed
from us by a little grove of oak trees.
A trooper in blue, mounted on a big bay
that looked and carried himself like a
thoroughbred, was riding out to meet
those three men in gray. He sat on his
horse like a riding school When
within 100 yards of Stuart’s three men
he halted, saluted with his saber and
dropped his carbine and revolver. The
three men from the other side had been
watching him, and, understanding the
challenge, dropped their arms.
“Then came the fight. It was a saber
contest, witid three against one. That
Wisconsin man disarmed that lieuten
ant in two passes, hamstrung the horse
of another and put his blade through
the shoulder of the third. He brought
the three into our lines.
“Whatdoyou think of that?” he con
cluded.
“The story is all right,” said one of
the listeners, “but I don’t think you
would do to write history ”—Milwan

Brave Rescue ef General P»T»e Dy Som*
Negro Volunteer*.
“The most daredevil piece of hero
ism I ever saw was by some negroes be
fore Fort Pillow, when i was a \ lju»u
er inside the fort and General Payne
was lying in front of it with bis leg
shot off,” was the way Charles Cotton
of Company C of the One Hundred and
Sixty-first New York infantry began a
story of valiant resene that he told to
some negro veteraus.
“General Payne’s leg had been shot
off in the first charge,” he continued,
•‘and he was lying hidden behind some
rocks in front of the fort, when his
troops were forming plans to rescue
him. The scathing fire from the fort
■wept that spot, and no officer dared to
command any of his men to go to cer
tain death in what looked like a vain
attempt to rescue their chief.
“While the men were deliberating a
negro stepped op and said, ‘We might
as well run our chances now as any oth
er time, and 1 for one will make the
attempt.’.' He was a handsome fellow,
and the spirit he displayed waa at once
equaled by that of 11 other negroes,
who stepped out and volunteered their
services. A stretcher was brought, and
four of them started, but had gone only
a few yards when every one was shot
dead. A moment after four others of
the volunteers rushed out, and, picking
up the stretcher, carried it a few yards
farther, when they, too, were killed.
The four who were left went ahead as
if nothing had happened, and two of
them came back alive with the general,
while the other two were left dead at
the pile of rocks where General Payne
had been lying. General Payno is still
living, and, i «.ni told, the two noble
fellows who rescued him have wanted
tor nothing ever since. ’ ’—Buffalo Ex
