WORTHLESS GUANOS
HOW FARMERS ARK PROTECTED
FROM SAME BY THE
% STATE LAW'S.
ANALYSIS IS PROVIDED FOR
Commissioner O. U. Steven* Points
Out Step* I hut Tillers Should
Take to I hwart Trickery.
Question. —How are the farmers pro
tected from spurious guanos and wnat
steps can be taken to have our guanos
analyzed and procure information con
cerning these goods before we have to
I pay lor same?
Answer.—This department was es
tablished to protect the interest of the
farmers, and to give information on all
subjects pertaining to the agricultural
| interests. Under the present laws which
govern the sale of commercial fertili
zers few, if any, manufacturers or man
ipulators would attempt to sell spurious
articles to the farmers of this stage.
| The environments placed upon the sale
| of fertilizers are adequate and of such
character that render it almost an
I impossibility to pass off shoddy goods
upon the purchaser. It is true that
agents in their desire to sell often rep
resent their goods to ran higher than
their guarantee, but the farmers are
much to blame for their gullibility in
taking for granted that thfi goods are
what they are represented by overzeal
| (jus agents. When farmers pay no at
tention to the guarantees that are
printed on the sacks of every brand, it
i is their fault, if they are deceived as to
I its value. The law requires that each
sack shall have the brand printed upon
| it, also giving the analysis and the guar
antee of each ingredient that goes to
make up the total amount of plant food.
Of course strict attention should be
given to the minimum guarantee and
i not the maximum, as the manufactur
j ers try to give enough of each ingredi
■ ent to go above the minimum guaran
' tee, so as to meet the requirements of
j the law, therefore the minimum guar
antee is the only thing to which we
should pay attention. After the goods
j are purchased, then the law comes to the
1 rescue of both the purchaser and seller.
I The law requires the manufacturer to
register the name of the goods, the
name of the the place
where manufactured and the guarantee
; of what amount of plant food with this
department before they sell or offer for
sale any of their brands. After the
brands are registered, the law requires
the manufacturers to give the commis
sioner of agriculture notices each day
of every sack of goods sold or consigued
to parties in this state, also to give the
names of the parties to whom sold, and
where said goods are to be delivered, so
that every sack comes directly under
the eye of the commissioner, and he
can send inspectors to find the different
brands in all portions of the state. The
samples are taken by the inspectors and
are sealed by them and sent to* the com
missioner. They are then numbered
and recorded in this ofiice and sent to
the chemist. The state ohemist ana
lyzes these goods, and they are returned
to the commissioner by number. These
reports are then recorded, and go to
jnake up thu bulletin which is sent to
every one from whom a sample was
taken and to all who ask for them. Be
sides this plan of procuring samples, I
have issued a circular letter through
the newspapers of Georgia stating, that
if any person desired a special analysis
of his guano, that if he would send me
a request, I would send an inspector to
get a sample of the goods and make an
analysis of it. The law requires that
if the commissioner sends in a sample
to the state chemist, it must be taken
by a sworn inspector, and only from un
broken sacks or packages. As soon as
the chemist can analyze these goods,
the results are sent directly to the per
sons for whom made.
Under the Ellington law, every
farmer can demand that a sample shall
be taken of the goods he purchases at
the time of the delivery for the party
from whom he buys his guanos. This
samplo shall be taken by both the seller
and buyer, delivered to the ordinary,
and he will seal it in their presence and
make a record of same. If for any reason
the purchaser believes that his crop is
not benefited by the use of said fertilizer,
he can have the ordinary to send the sam
ple to the state chemist for analysis, and
if the goods do not como up to the
guarantee, the purchaser need not pay
for them. Thus you see the • many pre
cautions thrown around the sale of this
article of commerce.
(1.) Register the name of the manu
facturer, where manufactured, name of
brand and the amount of plant food said
brand contains.
(2.) Purchase tags for same, and place
them on the sacks.
(8.) Notify the commissioner of agri
' culture of every sale or consignment.
Give name and address of each pur
chaser or consignee.
All of this information is required to
be given, and is filed and recorded.
Should they fail to do this, the seller
not only subjects himself to noncolleo
tiou for the goods, but also to prosecu
tion for misdemeanor. 1
I propose as commissioner to give op
portunity to the farmers to protect
themselves from the dishonest dealer,
j as well as to protect the interests of the
honest maniilacturer who complies with
the law. —State Agricultural Depart
ment.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. MAY T>, 1899.
The Ways of Men.
Aii observant poet once wrote
something like this:
As a rule, Man's a fool,
When it’s hot he wants it cool;
When it’s cool he wants it hot—
Always wanting what is not.
There is a good deal of truth in
these lines. People are naturally
queer folks. They “cuss” capital
for being hoarded and they “cuss”
it when it shows itself in industries
of different kinds. The million
aire who locks his money in a
vault is denounced and the one who
throws it away in sumptuous liv
ing, big dinuers and so forth meets
the same condemnation.
That element among our people
who were known as “jingoes” and
who cried so mightily for “war,
war, war” with Spain a couple of
years ago are, almost to a man, on
the other side now and are weeping
as bitterly over our drift toward
imperialism. So far as The Times
is concerned, it, with other news
papers and public officials, saw at
the beginning what war with Spain
meant and tried to avert it, but
the warning note was not heeded
and the consequences must, be en
dured.
Labor strikes, riots, etc , are not
confined to “hard times.” The
biggest strikes usually occur when
work is plentiful and men are
needed to do it. Havana had no
strike when war ships were prowl
ing around her harbor, shutting
out trade and making times hard
within. But when the blockade
was lifted and millions of money
was turned in that direction, a big
strike broke out among the “down
trodden” working men.
There are bad combinations of
capital in existence just as there
are bad things in all other lines.
The average combination is not
near as bad or as dangerous, how
ever, as the place hunters and pol
iticians would have it appear.
The money which is going into
many of the great industries today
is coming from vaults where it has
been stored away for probably a
decade. The investment of this
money in giant enterprises bring
many blessings with it. Great
schemes require great sums of
money and combinations are
sometimes necessary to carry them
to legitimate success. There is
less danger in the great combina
tions which monied men make than
there is in conditions which force
men to put their money in the
vaults and close the doors.
And along this same line, there
is much rot being indulged in
these days by partisan newspapers
and politicians in an effort to pre
judice the poor people agaiust cap
italists and financiers who aie
making big investments of their
money. We should rejoice that
vast sums are coming from its hid
ing place to go into industries of
various kinds, realizing that the
opportunities of every citizen are
made better by every investment
which capital makes.
Legislation can be very well di
rected to limit the power of trusts
without making an onslaught upon
every company or combination
which is formed to carry on great,
business undertakings.—Valdosta
Times.
There is one farmer nearr Dupont
who lives and has his being with
out the use of cotton. That man
is Mr. William Barlow. Mr. Ba
rlow does not raise any cotton, nev
er has raised it, and says he never
will. But, instead., he plants corn,
peas, rice, potatoes and other pro
vision crops, which, as he says, if
cannot be sold, they can he eaten.
His surplus corn crop he lias had
ground into meal, which he sells
for a. fair price, but he does not
sell any corn. He raises an abun
dance of pork for sale, besides u
number of beeves every year. Mr.
Barlow has prices for all these
items, and if he fails to get a suit
able offer he does not sell. By
this business-like management,
Bill Barlow, as he is known far
and near, has accumulated a fort
uue.
A Macon correspondent says:
Col. Kay can congratulate himself
that his regiment is one of the
best behaved and best disciplined
of the many that have been loca
ted at Macon during the American-
Spanish war. When the Immunes
'leave camp and visit the city very
few of them become drunk or dis
orderly. None of them have cre
ated serious disturbances and
hkve given the police no trouble.
Col. Ray has his regiment un
der splendid control, and the ex
cellent couduct of the men is the
subject of praise and admiration
on the part of citizens and the po
lice authorities.
Andrew Jackson's Birthplace.
A number of cities claimed the
honor of being Homer’s birthplace
and two states are urging,
through their newspapers, that
Andrew Jackson was born in their
respective commonwealths. The
Charleston News amt Courier con
tends that Andrew Jackson first
saw the light in that state and
the Asheville Citizen claims that
North Carolina was the state of
his nativity, while the Bristol,
Teun. News avers that he was
born in the north ot Ireland, j
That would not only have rend
ered Andrew Jscksnn ineligible to I
the presidency, but would have
made this most uncompromising
American an alien.
Without any disposition to in- j
terfere with the rival claims of
the two Carolinas it may be urg- j
ed in favor of the Charleston pa
per’s contention that Andrew j
Jackson himself claimed South 1
Carolina as his birthplace and he i
of all other persons, had the best
right to know where he was born, j
He was not only present upon J
the occasion, but d< übtless had
from his parents authentic infor
mation upon the subject.
.Too Tall For Comfort,
Ella Ewing, the giantess who!
was exhibited at public shows tor
some time, has been living for two
years in a quiet way in her native
village of Gorin, Mo. She is
about to start 6u a second tour,
and is now three inches taller
than when she retired from pub
lic life,having attained a statue Of
8 feet three inches. This remark- ]
able young woman was discovered
by accident. A Chicago museum
manager heard of an extremely
tall woman having been in the lit
tle Missouri town, and made a
visit to her. As she proved to be
of an altogether phenomenal
height, it is claimed that he offer
ed SSOO a week, which, after some
hesitation on her part and that of
her parents, was accepted. In
the six years of her traveling life
Miss Ewing amassed a considera
ble fortune, and has built herself
a commodious house, where-the
lofty ceilings and massive furni-
J ture enable her to enjoy some
physical comfort. Her size has.
however, always been a source of
unhappiness to her and she de
clares that, the journeying about
with the museum company is a
great trial.
The Street Cars of Havana.
The street-car lines of Havana
are all controlled by one compa
ny, known as the Urhano Compa
ny, and the entire length of all
the systems is about twenty five
miles. Tbfc cars of the company
are dirty and old. Each car is
drawn at a snail’s pace by three
mules, except on the line to Vedo
do, where steam-dummies are the
propelling power. There has
been stealing on the line by em
ployes, and the usual corruption
attendant upon the management
of any enterprise, public or semi
public, by Spanish interests.
The Spanish soldiers never pre
tended to pay fare on any of the
lines and on some of them it was
the custom not to charge fare for
persons who rode on the platform.
The entire system was run
down, with miserable rolling stock
and road-bed; and yet, with all
these disadvantages, and with the
corruption that found a lodging
place there, it managed to pay
such dividends that the stock is
said to have been quoted at par.

“Do we eat too much?” is a
question which the government
experts are trying to solve. VV’e
Georgia editors have done solved
it. We don’t, for very good rea
sons.
No “Retell".
The New York Herald prints
the following piece of interesting
j news:
Rear Admiral John W. Philip,
j commandant of the navy yard,
pointed with pride yesterday to a
change he has brought about in the
j government property • tinder his
j care. To the right of the entrance
Ito the admiral’s office on Main
street is a huge wedge-shaped piece
of iron which was taken from the
prow of the confederate ratn Miss
issippi, after the civil war. Upon
it. was this ins iription, “Taken
from the Rebel Rani Mississippi.”
Everyday those words caught
the eye of the admiral. Yester
day the word “rebel” was scraped
from tho rusty old trophy. “There
are no rebels now,” said Admiral
Philip yesterday; “there is no
north and no south, and, anyhow,
I don’tlike the word ‘rebel.’ It’s j
no word for those times.”
This is a very practical result of
the real reunion and reconstruc
tion that has been brought about
by the late war with Spain. To
all intents and purposes it was
unimportant whether the word
“rebel” was allowed to retain its
place; it was harmless; but the
practical thing about its erasure
is the fact that a patriotic naval
officer found the term offensive
and had it rubbed out. It was of
fensive to his good feeling and
sense of propriety, and he had it
removed, remarking upon it that
“it’s no word for these times.” i
This shows that the wave of fra
ternity and patriotic unity which
swept over the south when wur
was declared on Spain had its
counterpart at the north. There
is, indeed, no nor\h and no south
as far as political sectionalism is
concerned. The words are current
in our vocabulary merely as con
venient geographical terms. A
very short while ago the word
“north” meant the republican
party, while “south” meant the
democratic party. This meaning
has been as completely effaced as
the word “rebel” which Rear Ad
miral Philip caused to be erased
from the relic of the ram Missis
sippi.”—Atlauta Constitution.
Chicken Honey.
The Memphis Scimitar has been
talking up the chicken industry,
having called the attention of its
readers several times recontly to
the tact that there is money, and
a lot of it, in the poultry business.
And the Scimitar furnishes facts
and figures on the chicken ques
tion that are surprising.
Within the past few years, says
the Scimitar, the town of Hunts
ville, Ala., has become quite a
manufacturing point and is great
ly increasing its business and pop
ulation by the addition to its en
terprise of several large cotton
factories. These handle a vast
amount of cotton annually, and
add enormously to the thrift und
trade of that place.
The Huntsville Daily Mercury,
a most reliable newspaper, has
prepared statistics oil the subject,
and makes the positive statement
that the chicken and eggs shipped
from the town was worth more
money than the 40,000 bales of
cotton marketed there last sea
son.
Think of that.
And yet there are few men in
this couqtry who have come to re
gard the poultry business as any
thing more than an insignificant
side line to the more pretentious
ar.d less profitable features of farm
ing.
A Bishop and A Drummor.
Bishop Watterson, of Nebraska,
was once mistaken for a traveling
salesman by a commercial traveler
who met him in a railway train.
“Do you represent a big house?”
asked the traveler of the bishop.
“Biggest on earth,” replied the
bishop.
“What’s the name of the firm?”
“Lord and Church.”
“Hum! Lord and Church 1 Nev
er hoard of it. Got branch houses
anywhere?"
“Branch houses all over the
world.”
“That’s queer. Never heard of
’em. Is it boots and shoes?”
“No.”
“Oh, dry goods, I suppose?”
“Yes, they call my sermons that
sometimes.’ 1
“Papa, are generals brave men?”
asked Johnnie of his father.
“Yes, my son, as a rule,” was
I the answer.
“Then why do artists always
make pictures of ’em standing on
a hill three miles away, 1 looking
at the battle through an opera
glass?”
The Honest Newspaper.
A newspaper can have character
or not; but it cannot have influ
ence without character, any more
than it can have character with
out independence, and the editor
who trims his sails to catch every
favoring gale or waits to turn the
“ common dust of servile opportu
nity to gold,” caunot give to his |
publication either of these charac
teristics.
An editor to make his journal
worthy of respeect must be self
respecting, and this he cannot he
if he for any weak or selfish con
sideration consents to the slightest
compromise of conscience or con
viction.
Newspapers cannot be “all
things to all men.” They must
be one thing or the other. The
composite photograph has never
become popular in art, for the
reason that it is nobody. When
a reader finds an editor catering
to all sides he is apt to make up
his mind that that editor is work
ing both sides for what money he
can make out of them. Even bi
ased opinions, if they are holiest
Bud fearless, are better than milk
and-water opinions expressed for
money.
Newspapers should not only
stand for something, but they
should stand up for it. To do
this it is not necessary to even es
pous the cause of a party, al
though that is a good way, for
parties are supposed to stand for
something; but it is necessary to
think consecutively and strongly
and honestly along some line
or other, and the line ought to be
determined from within a man’s
own consciousness and judgement,
us far as possible;—Exchange.

said was a fine young man of no

Delaware is one state that has
clung to the whipping post, de
spite all public sentiment or clam
or against it. Such offenses as
wife-beating, cruelty to children,
and the like are punished by the
whipping post. Now the state
of Illinois is about to establish
the whipping post and make it
cue of her methods of punishment
for certain classes of offenders.
In a certain sense the whipping
post firings up the idea of barbar
ity, but it is quite certain that as
a punishment for many classes of
crime it is more efficacious
than the money fine or the chain
gang, It has its good features,
aud Delaware, at least, seems to
be satisfied with it, while Illinois
is more than likely to give it a
trial,—Thomasville News.
