HOGS AND COWS. “There is money in raising hogs and cows.” This was the answer a progressive farmer gave ua in re ply to the question : “Is there any way for farmers to make mon ey at the present time ?” Con tinuing, he said : “Hogs and cows are eagerly sought after, ard the market is never glutted. I have never known a time when it was a hard job to sell hogs and cows.” Don’t you think this man hit the nail on the head when he said the market is never glutted? Isn’t this the market that every farmer is hunting for—the market that is never glutted ? If you can man age to raise a few hogs and cows above home demands, you have a market that is never glutted in which to sell your surplus. We know that the farmers of Middle Georgia are not prepared to go ex tensively into the business of rais ing hogs, but there is no great dif ficulty to encounter in the raising of cattle. There is much land an nually cultivated in this county that is actually worked at a loss, which could be converted into pas tures while undergoing improve ment for future tillage. Pastures, it is very true, are not very pro lific, but sufficiently so to main tain a small herd of cattle during half of the year. We believe the day is not far distant when our people will be forced to pursue the above course. For, unable to compete with Tex as and other sections in the rais ing of cotton, necessity will force us to devote attention to cattle raising, which, in their eagerness to raise cotton, our western com petitors are neglecting more and more every year. How do we know this is true ? Simply because it is now cot an uncommon thing to see a cattle man from the west seeking to pur chase Georgia cattle in car-load lots to carry west to fatten for market. This shows conclusively that western yearlings are uot now so numerous as formerly. De mand has overrun supply in that quarter, and to meet the supply they purchase our cattle, and, as soon as marketable, dispose of them. The farmers of Georgia do not realize full profits on the cows they sell, because they sell them generally when very poor. Fat cattle are in very much greater demand than lean, and of course command a much better price. If it pays the purchaser to buy poor cattle and fatten them before put ting them on the market, why will it not pay the farmer to fatten them before selling ? Never sell a lean cow or hog, should be the motto of every farmer in the land. —Monroe Advertiser. A negro man named Dave Green, living near Albany, was bitten by a rattlesnake Wednesday.

The large amount of poultry and eggs now offered for Hale in the lo cal market shows that farmers are giving considerable attention to raising chickens. This fact is gratifying to those of us who be lieve that that the farmer should produce less cotton and more of something else. The evident pur pose of a large number of farmers in this section is to diversify their agricultural pursuits. This is demonstrated in many ways, but in none more forcibly than in the interest awakened in poultry-rais ing during the last few years. The hen is an indispensable ad junct of divgrssfied farming. The farmer who produces grain and hay naturally raises his own beef and pork, and the farmer who supplies his family with beef and pork will not fail to supply it with poultry. The farmer who gives every acre of his land and every minute of his time to cot ton-growing alone or to the pro duction of any other crop has no time for such a small crop as poul try and eggs. The farmer who grows hundreds of bales of cotton and thousands of bushels of wheat or of corn, considers a few dozen hens and eggs insignificant. He forgets that the annual egg pro duct of the United states is worth more than the wheat crop. However, the one-crop farmer may be right as to himself. Doubt less it would not pay him to de vote part of his time to a few hens. The cotton-grower of the lower- Mississippi valley or 011 the plains of Texas, the corn planter on the plains of Kansas, or the wheat grower in the great Northwest,may be able to raise his one-crop at a profit. Georgia is not a one-crop state. It is not adapted to that kind of farming. It is adapted to diversified farming, and nothing else will pay. There is money for the farmer in poultry. Tho fact that the Georgia farm er is beginning to understand this is one of the most encouraging sigus of the times.—Rockmart Slate. Discovered by A Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that, too, by a lady living in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for 7 years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much re lieved on taking first dose that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured.

If you wish to lessen the worries of the world and scatter sunshine as you go, don’t bother to go a-slumming, or lift the iallen, or trouble to reclaim the erring— simply pay your debts Theertully and promptly. It lubricates the wheels of trade, breaks up party ice, gives tone to the social sys tem and liberates good-will. Pay as you go. Especially pay the peeple who work by the day and toil with their hands. A dollar means much to the man who spades your garden—never humiliate the man by making him ask for his dollar. Give it to him immediately, the work is done, and if he did well, tell him so. When the woman who crouches over a sewing ma chine for you all day long brings the garment heme, pay her all you owe, and do not add to her troub les be exercising the prerogative of one who is paying over money, to flaunt out either insulting re marks or insulting manners. The gentleman shows his true nature in his treatment of social inferiors; and of all the damning sins the witholding of money due a workingman is the worst. Let us pay as we go. And the cheer fulness and good-will we give out with our money will in turn be given out by those we pay it to. Pay as you go.—Valdosta Times. COTTON TESTED BY FIRE. Experiments at Lowell show the Advan tage of American Roundlap Bales. The Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Co., the Lowery bale of the Planters’Compress Company, and an ordinary square cotton bale were sub jected to a thoroughgoing fire test in Lowell Mass., June Nth by the Associa ted Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Companies of the United States, for the purpose of determining the rela tive fire hazards of the several meth ods of baling cotton. Two small frame houses, exactly alike, and some distance apart had been erected on a vacant plot and the space beneath them filled with boards and cotton waste, over which ten gallons of coal oil were poured. In one building eight American Roundlap bales and one square bale were stored. In the other, eight Lowery bales and one square bale. The torch was applied and the flames were permitted to burn one hour before being extinguished. It was as hot a blaze as cotton could well be subjected to. There was no test of the square bale, owing to the fact that when the superstructures col lapsed, which they did a few minutes after being tired, one of the square bales fell away from the flames and then the other was removed. It was evident and generally conced ed that the American Roundlap bale stood the test much better than the Lowery bale. Nearly all the wires on the Lowery bales were burned off and the bales elongated from their original length of 3 feet 3 inches to 0 feet and over. This exposed the cotton in the Lowery bales to the flames which were eating into the bales at many points when the fire was put out. Two of the Lowery bales broke in two and were more badly burned than the oth ers. The American bales stood up splen didly under the severe ordeal. They neither unrolled nor extended in length, and only the outer surfaces exposed to the intense flames were burned. This latest test, was only an other triumph for the American Cot ton Company Roundlap bale. The cotton saved from the fire will be carefully picked over and the sal vage reclaimed will be weighed. it was stated by underwriters pres ent at the Lowell fire test that, at a se cret test recently made as to the abil ity of the two different styles of round bales to withstand the action of water after being submerged for some time the wires on the Lowery bales had burst and none of the Lowery cotton was recovered from the test. The American Company’s bales came out intact and wet only on the exterior, which soon dried, leaving the cotton as good as ever Free Of charge.

Giving the ballot to the negro is not the only mistake the republi can party lias made in connection j with the black man. That party has persistently taught the negro that to it he owes gratitude for j his freedom, and that the republi cans fought for and freed the slaves because of their love of humanity, and the love of the negro which was felt by the people of the north. This falsehood appears in practi cally every history written by a northern man. It is repeated and emphasized by politicians and preached by ministers of the gos pel. Every intelligent person who knows anything about the causes of the civil war knows that it was not begun on humanitarian grounds, or for the purpose of free ing the slaves. The war came about because the north did not want negro slaves in the territo ries, which were the common her itage of the whole country. Ex cepting a few thousaud abolition ists, there was no party in toe north which objected to slavery so long as it was confined to the south. Northerners objected to extending the system into the ter ritories. That objection was not based upon opposition to slavery upon moral grounds, but upon the fact that slave labor would com pete with white free labor. There was no thought on the part of the north of freeing the slaves until the war had been in progress for a long time. But af ter awhile it became apparent that if the republican party was to be saved and Lincoln re-elected to the Presidency, the abolitionists would have to, be placated. The emancipation of the slaves was what the abolitionists demanded, and this was conceded by the man agers of the republican party, in opposition to the wishes of the masses of the north. There was nothing of high moral purpose in volved in the movement. It was merely a matter of political and military expediency,of shrewd wire pulling. All this talk of humani ty and justice toward the negro is the fruit of an afterthought, which is a perversion of the truth. When the negroes of the south are taught, in histories, by politi cians and from pulpits, that the great and good republican party went into the war for the purpose of rescuing them from th 6 bonds of the wicked and cruel southern white men, they are being given dangerous education. The seeds which bring forth crime and lynch ing are being sown ; for the negro is taught to hate the southern white man, to harbor malice against him, and to plan revenge upon him for wrong which the histories, the politicians and the preachers have told the negro he has suffered at the* hands of the southern white man. The negro does not go back and seek tho truth respecting the origin of the war; he does not by research as certain that the north was as much of a slave-trader us the south, so long as there was money to be made at the business. He accepts the statements of the histories, the politicians and the preachers as facts, and accordingly arrays himself against the Southern white man. However, the efforts of the old time republican party to prevent negro labor from competing with white labor, and for which cause tens of thousands of northern men laid down their lives, is a thing of the distant past. The existing fact is that the very thing which that party then wished to prevent iB now taking place. The negro from the south is now competing with the white man in the labor fields of Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and other states of the west and north; and he is destined to carry that competition still much fur ther. The day is probably not very far distant when the sons and grandsons of those who fought against the competition of negro labor, and unintentionally freed the negro before they had got through with it, will find them selves burdened with quite as much of a race problem as exists in the south.—Savannah News.

The hollow checks, the sunken eyes, the dark puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urniate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once repeated,or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptons are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, cattarh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may rnn into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble.

An insane idea got into the heads of a restless few who decided that they could more quickly and successfully sat isfy the wants and needs of the people. The Populist party was the offspring of this movement. But they needed strength, and decided to court the negro. They offered him recognition and social equality in their conventions; which act has caused much mis fortune and suffering in the south. But this subject is so well han dled by Bro. McNelley, that we produce his editoral in full below. Head it and think over it, and let that patriotism and love of coun try, that is born in every true Georgian, decide on which side you will be when the question comes up in your own county. It’s bound to come, so get ready for it now.—Winder Democrat. Tho city court of Athens has a new solicitor. Col. Samuel J. Trib ble, he having succeeded Col. John 1). Moll in that office.
