A FURTHER RISE PREDJCTED
ll** Now ICstl in Hies Mint the Tulnl
Crop of the Country Will lie
At>ou 1 11,000,000 Hales.
In onr Anpust talk we estimated that
wo would make a 10,000,000 bale crop.
This was based the conditions of
the crop at that time. Since then the
condition of the weather has been
such :\s to make a material change in j
the prospectus We believe now nuder |
the existing state of affairs that the j
crop of the United States will not ex j
ceed 9.000,000 or 9,500,000 bales.
We find from comparison with the
years 189 b and 1899, according to sta- |
tln tics furnished by the United States
Department, that in 1890 there were
22,341,000 acres planted and in 1809
only 20.918,000 acres, a decrease of
1,428,000 acres.
In lßrfb the conditions were reported
an average of 60.7 in October, while we
have 62 6 per cent for October, 1899,
making only 1.80 per cent more favor
able for this season.
This shows but little advantage as to
the conditions, but; we have a decrease !
in acreage of 1,428.000 acres and we can
readily estimate that the crop will I
barely exceed the crop of 1896, whieii |
wsiN 8 714,000 bales
Under these conditions cotton should
briug between 8 and 9 cents per pound ,
by .lan 1. This opinion is based on the ;
price cotton brought in 1896 under like j
conditions.
We do not advise the farmers to hold j
their ootton to the hurt of the raer- j
chants and banks who accommodated
them, nor do we advise them to hold at ,
all, but the indications are all favorable j
to better prices.
Go to see the people you owe and con* j
suit with them, as their interests are !
yours. Make such arrangements as
will help you and not embarrass them.
We raise 75 per cent of the ’orop of :
the world and we manufacture only
one-sixth of this staple. Weaskifthis
is a wise policy? Shall we continue to
pay freight both ways, on our raw and
manufactured material when we have
every advantage, if we would but use
energy and the means we have to be
come indepen tent?
I believe it to be a wise polioy for a
factory to be established in each county
that raises cotton, where the amount is
sufficient to run the factory.
It has been proven by experiments in
peveral counties of this state that small
mills that manufacture twine, rope,
burlaps and checks have proved suc
cessful and profitable and there is uo
reason why we should not manufacture
the finer goods, unless it be that the
capital required for these mills will cost
more than we are able at present to in
vest.
The small nulls once established can
use their surplus as a sinking fund, and
yet pay a reasonable interest, to add
such machinery and appliances as will
allow us to build such manufactories as
will produce the finer fabrics.
This necessity has long been recog
nized by the farmers, as well as the bus
iness men of the south, but the cry of
hard times and lack of capital has pre
vented the building of such factories.
Now, we propose a plan by which
the farmers of each county becomes
a joint owner as well as a pro
ducer. Let each fanny take stock
in a factory. If he has not the
ready cash, let him subscribe one bale
of cotton this year, and another for the
next year, and thus pay in 8 or 4 years
his subscription. It is easy to procure
advances from capitalists when there is
a basis to make them secure, at sueh
rates as will to easy for the borrower to
pay back the money borrowed. When
this is done, then the farmer becomes a
buyer as well as a producer. If raw
ootton goes up he wins, and if raw oot
ton brings a low price and manufactured
goods bring a fair price, he is still a
Winner.
If the stock of the factory pays a div
idend this stock becomes a nnclens and
collateral, upon which he can borrow
money at a lower rate than he can ob
tain it by mortgaging his crop or lands.
Why then, Bhould we not establish a
system that will prove beneficial to the
men who prodncc the supplies of all
the necessities of life?
Think over these matters and let ns
get together and organize such methods
as will prove beneficial to the interests
of the producers of onr section.

DOES IT FAY TO lUIY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and colds
is all right, but, you want something
that will relieve and cure the more se

and lung troubles. What shall you do?
Go to a warmer and more regular cli

ble for you, then in either case take the
only remedy that has been introduced
in all civilized countries with success
in severe throat and lung troubles,
“Boschee’s German Syrup.” It not
only heels and stimulates tile tissues
to destroy the germ disease, but allays
infiamation, causes easy expectoration,
gives a good night’s rest, and cures
the patient. Try one bottle. Recom

The labor unions of the state, it
is said, will bring to bear upon the
legislature all the pressure that
they can in favor of the passing at
this session of a child labor bill,
prohibiting the employment of
children in cotton and other facto

that they already have assurances
which lead them to believe the bill
will be passed.

To tbe Editor of the Macon Telegraph:
Having won tbe first prize for the
largest yield of wheat on 1 acre, also
on 4 acres of land in Middle Georgia,
I have received many reqnests for Infor
mation in regard to my method of prep
aration, cnltnre, eta, I ask space in
yonr columns to give the result of sev
eral years successful wheat growing,
hoping thereby to present to your nanny
readers some ideas that will be of bene
fit to them. I will write of this sub
ject by answering the practical ques
tions that are nsu&lly asked me.
Question —When is the best time to
sow wheat?
Answer—Just after ths first freeze or
killing frost in November.
By waiting until then many inseota
that are so destructive to wheat are de
stroyed. To sow in October wheat
would be more liable to get killed in
early apring As to the kind of land I
suggest that you sow vonr best upland.
Nearly all wheat growers are partial to
red land, but 1 must say that two of the
poorest yields 1 ever had were on red
land. Tell me what yonr season will
be next April aud May and I can tell
yon the kind of soil that will give the
best result.
My wheat land is not specially pre
pared for sowing. I sow wheat after
ootton that has been well cultivated. If
the stalks are large I usually drag some
thing over them, after which I plow
them up with a scooter plow and let
them remain where they are.
Q.—What is the best manure, and
how do you use it ?
A—l use all manures broadoast
Nothing better than stable manure.
Cow mauure, when obtained from cot
tonseed meal and bulls, equals anything
you can use. Cottonseed are fine for a
rainy season, aud will not leach like
other manures. As to commercial fer
tilizers, I know nothing of them. But
you can always rely on acid phosphate
and cottonseed meal, mixed two of acid
to one of meal. Though dryer the sea
son the better the result. Too rnuoh
meal will kill the seed wheat at the
time of germination.
Q.—What variety of wheat do you
sow ?
A.—lt is purple straw.
Q.—How do you tr»at your lead
wheat?
A.—l shake all of the small grains
possible out of the wheat by passing
through a fan over a 3-16 inch sieve at
abont 80 degrees incline. If yon cannot
secnre your seed in that way go to some
place in yonr field where you have only
ordinary wheat, and there out off enough
for your seed. It is perfectly natural
for wheat to have two grains to the
mesh, and when you grow more than
two you will find a great many small
grains.
Q —Why select the best grains for
seed?
A—Because it is the mothei to the
little plant. The larger the grain the
more vitality it has, the more uniform is
its growth and all the plants are more
able to withstand injuries. To get the
growth and ripening more uniform in
crease the yield, and to increase tho
yield improves the seed.
Q. —How do you keep down smut?
A.—l have never seen any smut in
my wheat. Neither will you if you
will annually put one-quarter of a pound
of well pulverized bluestone into 1 gal
lon of boiling water. When diisolved
pour it over 1 bushel of wheat while hot
and stir until every grain is wet After
yon have done this you should apply
slack lime just as much as will tdhere
to each grain. Yon will find thitto be
very profitable. The wheat will (row a
little taller and will stand a much larder
winter than without this application. I
sow my wheat broadcast in the mtunre
so as tt> give the little plant al the
strength and vigor possible during the
winter months.
Q. —How much wheat mast wi sow
per acre in order to g«s she best results?
A. —ls you seleot your seed wheat as
you do your corn, I say sow nothing lsss
than one bushel per acre. An acre of
land that will require two bushels to be
well seeded can be sown with one
bushel, and the yield will be nearly as
good, but not near so satisfactory.
Why? Because when it is thinly sown
the plant will spread, it shoots np irreg
ularly, Is not nniform in growth, does
not ripen evenly, has a coarse straw,
and the only good thing that can be said
abont it is that it baa a good head.
Q. —How do yon plow in your grain,
and how deep?
A.—l turn nnder with a common turn
plow, and I suppose the seed oould be
found on an average of from 8 to 4
Inches nnder the top of the soil. I level
the ground with a harrow, brash or
anything that will pnt the ground in
good shape for the harvesting machine
We have now six months to rest from
seed time till harvest.
Q. —At what time do yon cot yonr
wheat?
A. When you see the heads begin to

not stay with my friends on earth, I
would meet my absent friends above.
My husband was advised to get Dr.

Q._Why not cut on the green order
eo as to have better etraw?
A.—By so doing you >eu up a chan
nel for mold and rust In our next crop.
Give the little wheat ger n all that na
ture calls for, aud it will be more able to
ward off the much dreaded diseases.
Now, if w# can trust our wheat in
the hands of nature let’s do our fields
likewise. Nature says to man, ditch
your land. Man says to nature, I will
terrace. And we evidently see that
man will follow man, whether he be
right or wrong. But ’ will add for
safety—good seed, good . 1 and proper
drainage is a successful road for all
wheat growers to travel. * have seen
wheat under water on tenaoed land for
nearly a weak at a time. Wheat is not
rice. Neither is an excess of water
hemmed up on a hillside in keeping
with the law of nature.
I have been aeked if tbe height of
wheat had auything to do with the
yield. That depends on the seasons and
the amonut of rnaunre you used. Where
I raised SO bushels of wheat to the acre
| last year it grew to be 6 feet tall. I had
another piece equally ae tall that grew
only B 5 bushels to the acre. The former
was broadcast with barnyard rnaunre,
about 16 loade per aore. Also acid phos
phate. two to one of cottonseed meal,
about 800 pounds per acre. The latter
pieoe had never been manured with any
barnyard manure, but was broadcast
with cottonseed, about 15 to 30 bushels
| per aore, aud acid phosphate two to one
j of cottonseed meal, 300 pounds per acre.
This pieoe of laud, an ordinary year,
will yield about 1,000 pounds of seed
cotton per acre.
You cau safely use 400 pounds of acid
j phosphate aud cottonseed meal as above
; mentioned.
Q. —Will It pay to raise wheat?
A.—Yes. I raised last year 300 bush
els of wheat, at SI.OO por hushal, $380;
Stone of straw at 80 oeuts per 100, $74;
;14 tons of hay, $140; total, $504. Leav
ing the laud benefited 40 per cent. Ths

barnyard mauure, $64.50; harvesting,
$10; thrashing, sßb; total expense. $130;
leaving $440 profit aud 11 months to
play aud one to work. If I had only
ralßed oue-ieventh of what I did I would
have had more profit than if I had raised
one bale of cotton per aore at 6 cents
per pound. Yours trnly,

Tttf Railroad Pass Bill.
i HeKalb New Era> .
There is no 1 today in Geor- j
gia so insidious an£Ld an K prouß * u
I its character as the of
railroad companies in issui'.'.V? ree
j passes to public officers. The V/.V
flue nee of it on public affairs is in
theTast degree shameful and flagi
tions. Words are not strong
enough to express the depth of
the wrong aud evil of it. The
people of Georgia febl deeply on ,
the subject and as a rule the pub
lic officers who accept these passes ,
are ashamed to have it known.
Nobody can tell how deep the in
dueuoe of the railroads reaches
into legislation by reason of it,
and there is abundant reason to
suspect that it is poisoning the
fountains of justice.
At the last session of the legis
lature Mr. Hall, of Bibb, intro
duced a bill to put a stop to it.
After much dodging and squirm
ing the matter came to a vote in
the house last Friday. A motion
was made to lay the hill on the
table. Laying a bill on the table
means generally that the house
wants to kill the bill without tak
ing a direct vote. It is a sort of
cowardly evasion by which a mem
ber can dodge responsibility for
doing a thing that he wauts to do
but is ashamed to have known.
The motion to lay on the table
prevailed and the bill was killed,
and the Southern Railway can
continue lawfully to retain our
public servants in its interest at
the pitiful price of a railway pass.
In tho public humiliation that
results from this action the Kra
congratulates the people of the
couniy of DeKalb that its repre
sentatives Messrs. Maysou and
George voted NO on the motion
to table. We tako off our hat to
these gentlemen -and extend pub
lic thanks that they had the de
cency aud the courage to demand
a direct vote on the proposition to
crush out this great and growing
wrong.
The Atlanta daily papers, al
ways afruid of great corporate in

Southern Prosperity.
It looks as though the south is
at last to have a share in the gen
eral prosperity with which other
sections have been blessed for the
past vearor two. Certain linos of
southern industry, notably iron,
manufacture and lumber,
have jlready been on the boom,
and those auctions which are in a
measure depended,*' u P on these in
dustries for support been in
good shape.
When all is said and diu J 2.
south is as yet an agricultu'Zf *
country, and general prosperity is
out of the question unless the far
mer shares in it, and up to a few
weeks ago the outlook for the great
mass of southern farmers was far
from hright.
They have had two years of rec
ord breaking crops and record
breaking low prices for cotton, and
np to July or August, there was ev
ery prospect of a third record
breaker in both directions. This
would have meant very close to
ruin for this section, though it is
probable that no cotton crop was
over produced as cheaply as the
one which is now coming into mar
ket.
Grim experience had forced the
southern cotton planter to base his
calculations on 5 cents for this
product, and the result has been
that a greater proportion of home
supplies have been raised in the
south this year than in any year
since the war.
As tho season advanced, howev
er, it became apparent that we
were to have a comparatively mod
erate crop of cotton and prices be
gun to go up until they reached a
point which meant a profit for the
cotton grower, and the best of it
is that the advance came at a time
when the producer reaped the ben
efit of it.
In uddition to this, a shortage
in the olive crop gave an increased
demand for cotton seed oil and
cotton seed, too, began to fetch
higher prices.
The natural consequence of all
this is reflected in the great in
crease in all lines of business in
the south, which are reported as
beyond the record iu many cases,
and below it in very few.
Best of all, conditions as they
exist today, put the south’s pros
perity on a solid basis and leave
its continuance in the hands of
the southern planters themselves.
The unprecedented demand for
cotton goods on top of a short
crop means the absorption of the
inass of surplus cotton brought
over from previous years of plenty
and the beginning of the next
year with a visible supply shorter
than it has been for many years.
By planting plenty of grain,
raising plenty of meat, and mak
ing cotton as nearly as possible a
surplus crop, it is within the pow
er of the southern cotton growers
to maintain the position they now
occupy for the first time in a
quarter of a century, and fix the
price of their groat money-pro
ducer instead of having it fixed
for them by Liverpool and New
York, Will they do it ?—Macon

An old man in his dying hour
called his four sons around him,
and said:
“Boys, don’t worry; more than
nine-tenths of my sorrows and
heart-aches have been over things
that never happened. ”
If we could all learn the lesson
of patience and complete self con
trol, how much better off we would
be. How many hard words, hours’
loss of sleep or even bodily pain
might be avoided if we would learn
not to worry over spilt milk; go
milk another cow. There is not a
day, nay, not an hour, that we can
not find something to worry about
if we try. Don’t worry!

THK STAR or THE TROUPB.
[Publiflhe«l by Request.]
The scene is a dying woman,
With grim A/real standing near,
Waiting for that imprisoned soul
To leave its earthly bier.
# And beside that bed there is kneeling
A girl, who-e shoulders scarce can boar
The first woe of her youthful grief--
Tho weight of a future care.
Hushed is the gobbing, while the mother,
Whoso voice is low and weak,
Murniers, “Lula, darling, I must leave you,
But God has promised we shold meet.
“Soon Sin will flaunt with gilded wings
Beforo my grave is wrapped in sod,
But put aside that glittering tempter,
~rr ußtand lean on .Mother’s God.

“Now, promise,” plead tho d>S*
But the answer came too late, *
For the sou! of that departing one
Went out to meet its fate.
Kind friends then came forward
And the orphan led away,
Away from one who had left her.
Away from the stiffening clay.
***#*##
Years upon years havo vanished,
Some brigh,some clouded o’er,
Sinco the soul of that orphan’s mother
Had gone through mortal door.
That maid has grown to a woman.
To a woman tall and fair,
And like tho ancient Helen,
Holds a gift of beauty rare.
But the passion still burned in hor bosom,
And grew as the years had sped.
Not heeding the silent warning
Like tho voice of hor long, long dead.
Tho tempter sought with all his dark skill.
Showed her that life in its glittering array.
Then all thoughts of that unuttered promise
Filially grew paler, then faded away.
Wo aoo hor again, but alterod,
On tho stage of a traveling show,
And out from those eyes ho merry
Izook only rogrot anti woe.
The loud applause of the people
Hah ohauged to a dying moan,
And like hideous crawling serpents
Seem tho llownri that are thrown.
At luHt that anguished mortal
Could bear its sin no more.
And like u poor, maimed vessel.
Went down, down forevermore.
Midnight finds her by a river,
With her pale faoe to the sky,
And in pltlous tones hliu pleads,
“Mother, forgive me, e’re I die!”
And then In her feverish fancy
She heard her mother Hay,
‘ You have forgottoo my dying wish,”
And that loving face was turned away.
A plunge iH hoard in the river dark,
A gurgling sound on the still, calm night.
That river has taken an erring one
And hidden her away from mortal sight.
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flour still has tbe largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth
ers never thought of using anything
else for Indigestion or Biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heared of Appendeoitis, Nervous Pros
tration or Heart Failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organ
ic action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other,aohen v - '
only need a few doses of Green’s Au
gust r.Vrvver, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Sample bottles at

A funny joke, says a New Jersey
paper, occurred at a prominent
church in that state. It seems
that a worthy deacon had been
very industrious in selling a new
church book that cost 75c. At the
services in questiou the minister,
just before dismissing the congre
gation, rose and said, “All who
have children to baptize will please
present them next Sunday.” The
deacon, who was a little deaf, hav
ing an oye on selling the books,
and supposing the pastor was re
ferring to them, immediately got
up and shouted, “All who haven’t
can get as many as you want by
calling on me, at 750 each.”

The Cambridge (Ohio) Sun tells
the story: “There was a man
who was too stingy to subscribe
for his home paper, so he sent his
little son to a neighbor to borrow
one. As the boy was going home
he fell down and broke his leg.
The father heard his cries and ran
out to see what was the matter,
but slipped and fell, dislocating
his knee and tearing the bosom
out of his ten dollar pantaloons.
His wife ran to his assistance,
leaving a two-year-old baby on
the floor. The baby crawled out
and fell down the well, and while
the mother was fishing the child
out the house caught fire and was
totally destroyed.
“Moral —Now is the time to
subscribe.”

pained her continually for nine
years. We have tried all kiuds of
medicines and doctors without re

shoulder is almost well.— Adolph
