The statement in our foreign dis patches yesterday, taken from the Morning Post of London, that the fighting force of the Boers is 100, (XX) men and 206 guuß, is very sur prising. The same authority says that their fighting force was orig inally 86,000 men, and that it has been increased by additions from Cape Colony. The highest esti mate of the Boer strength that has appeared in any of the public prints of this country is 50,000 fighting men, and this estimate was considered altogether too high. It is the understanding that the population of the two re publics, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, is not over 800, 000. It would be difficult to get 50,000 effective fighting men from so small a population. Iu an ar ticle in the London Daily News re cently, Mr. J. B.

Hall’s Family Pills are the best. from the scene of the war, puts the Boer fighting strength at 80, 000 men. It is probable that his estimate is very much nearer cor rect than the statement in the Morning Post. There are undoubtedly very mauy Cape Colonists in tire Boer army, and it is probable that there are thousands of Outlanders who preferred to enter the Boer service to leaving the country. Besides these, a large number of soldier* of fortune, from all parts of the world, have joined the Brers. It is probabable therefore that they have between 40,000 and 50,000 men in their service. > And they have been handled with remarkable skill aud have done some excellent fighting. Op posed to them now are 120,000 of the best soldiers in the British army, commanded by the ablest generals in the service of the Brit ish government.

This day, which has bsan let apart for the first annoal meeting of the Ae aooiaiion of Commissioners, looking at It does to the npbnilding of onr com mon ebuntry and to the improve ment of the oonditlon of the ootton ■talas, is to me an auspicious one l.trn glad of thle opportunity to meet with you and join in so landabie an under taking, remembering that it is for the good of the present as well as future generations. Permit me, then fore, to offer a few suggestions in the begin ning of onr meeting for your considera tion. For years the farmers of the south have been drifting ainnassiv into a con dition of bankruptcy and demoralisa tion, greatly to Iheir own hurt and to the detriment es the common welfare. This is net due to sterility of toll, nor to unfavorable olunaiic conditions Na ture has not done more for any section than for the cotton states; nor it li altogether fair to lay the lanlt of fail are to our farmers; for, as a elats, they have worked industriously in and out of seaton. but they have networked with nny died purpose of permanent benefit In the end' I have for years been urging the farmers of Georgia te reverts their methods, If they would Bl eeps the ooaditloas which have resulted fram a lack of diversification in plant ing their crop*. The salvalien of the people depends upon rural independ ence—by living at heme nod railing home eappHee; by oatiing off imports and iaoreaaiag exports; and I arge ■ post yea, the cammitsloneri es the eettaa-grewiag states, to enll upon your people to ohange their methods of farm ing. It Is true that for 80 yeari the balance •f trade has been somewhat in onr favor, bat maoh tea yet be dona along this line. Tbe farming itter.it has been the sub jest es meek diteuisioa by the press end people of the south for tbe past 11 moathst so much so that the people of the rural districts are seeking informa tion by reading tba dally mud weakly papers sad agricultural journals. This it one es the moat Important mediums upon which this association must rely in reaching the farming class, by writing monthly latten upon agri cultural subjects and questions, to be published euoe a month in your newspapers The work of reformation haa begun, and it should be the objeot of this association to reach every home and cabin within its territory. Tha last orop was a profitable one to tha farmers of the south. Everything bought with whioh to make it was aheap—mules, labor, fertilizers, plough tools, farming machinery, ootton oloth, meal, oorn and forage) in fact, farm sup plies of every description were exceed ingly cheap, and consequently tbe crop of 1868 came into tbe market at a very low oost. Our people made light billa The fall being favorable for gathering, and the orop small as compared with for mer years. It brought much better prices, and consequently the people of the ootton states are in better condition than In former years Our farming ex penses, with a few exceptions in certain unfavored localities, have been puid and onr debts reduced, and we have more home-raised supplies than we had one year ago. A change has taken place; a different state of affairs exists. I think there is no doubt that the south is more prosperous today than at any time within the last 30 years. Prloes have advanoed, and onr peo ple are more hopeful. Males and fer tilizers have advanoed SB per oent; corn, forage and meat are 15 per cent higher; plow tools and fanning ma chinery are T 5 per cent higher; ootton goods are 50 per cent higher; bc ths orop of 1899-1900 will oost fully 80 per cenl more to market it thau did the crop es 1898 09 I urge you to sonnd a note of warning right now. Tell your farm ers to make small Mils; to buy tor oaah, if possible; to plant largely of food crops, aud reduce the acreage In cotton even below that of laat year. The ootton crop for 1699 1900 will barely reaoh 900,000 bales, and the average price paid thus far has been t cents, ao that if we again curtail the ate es fertilizers zed the aoreage in ootton, aad produce only 8,000,000 balsa next seaaoa, we may expeot not leaa than t Rente per poena for onr crop. Bat, if our farm ers go wild again, aa they did in 1896 bay everything on lime, plant the whole earth In ootton and make a crop of 11,600.000 balsa the ooantry will be raised, almost beyond hope. Baeh a crop next seaaoa wonld aall from to 6 cents per pound, and leave us hopelessly in debt. It may be read ily seen that an 8,000,000 bale crop will bring more money than an 11,600,000 bale crop, to say nothing of the oost of mar keting, and what we lose by leaving off food orops If we oan only indnoe our farmers to adopt this method, they will be masters of the situation, and no con spiracy can control the cotton market AN OLD DOCTOR’S FAVORITE Remedy kor Ulcers,Sores, Catarrh, and Blood Poison. Dr L. M, Cillam, who practiced medicine over forty years hi Atlanta, originated, used and claimed that Bo tanic Blood Balm (B. B.

The cotton manufacturing interest in tbe southern stales baa been greatly re vived. Its influence is already felt, and we should give it all the encouragement and aid in onr power Whiie farmers are raising miiliona of tbe raw piodnct, it it the height of folly for onr business men to sit idly by and see tbe profits in ths manufacture of cotton go abroad. Each railroad town in the cotton states should have a cotton mill. The millions of dollars which pass through their harnli for cotton goods sliond be kept at home. Let ns encourage and welcome capital to come among ns, to open np and de velop our varied interests; but let tbe profits from the mannfactnre of cotton be spent among our own people. We produce tbe raw material, and wby not ship to other states the goods manufac tured? Tbe item of transportation, alone, will bo enoagh to pay them abundantly for their enterprise, and, besides, these mills would give employ ment to thousands of operatives, who must be fed by tbe farmors from tbeir breadstnffs, dairies and gardens In this way additional facihties for the marketing of onr farm products will be furnished. That it is tbe dnty of the state to edu cate its yenth has never been qnes tioned by the intelligent citizenship of any commonwealth. The sums annu ally expended tor this purpose are a profitable investment, making returns in after years of better government, a • trong and intellectual people, aud a fall development of onr institntionz It is an avident and accepted fact that each individual should be taugut those branches that will best fit him for the work be will follow upon reaching his majority. Oar states hays long since provided departments for teaching iaw and medioine, aud the general govern ment la anpportiag a department of ag riculture; bat, when we remember the thousands of ooantry schools in the cotton states, attended by three fourths of onr boys, a large majority of whom are usable to attend the agricnltural colleges and sobnols where the higher branohes are taught, we are at oooa im pressed with the feet that these youths, upon whom will depend the duty es supplying the country with food pro ducts. and famishing the balk es onr exports, era not being fully prepared for the calling that the great agricult ural interests of onr statss will demand. Agrioulture may properly be eUtssed among the sciences, and farming as a profession. Ths intelligent man will manage bis herds and cultivate his flslda with profit. Information that cheapens ths production of vegetables, fruits and cortals will he disseminated among tho cotton states, and we hope yet to lead tho world Id qgrioultural production, aud to oontrlbote in like ratio to her prosperity. The manual labor of Che farm must bc intelligently directed, to insure sucaess. The etate that leads in ths dissemination of information on agricultural subjects will, In the end, outstrip ocher agrioultnral communities in wealth, progress and a full develop mentof their resonrcea If wo will teach onr children in the common schools ths olsmentary principles of agriculture— facts that have been ascertained by practical teals at efficiently conducted experimental stations—we will add to onr farming population a class of yonng men and women fnll of strength and vitality, and better equipped than were their fathers and mothers for the de velopment of the great interests of tbe south. The neoossity for imparting this information in the common sohools seems so apparent—the oost being really insignificant, while the resalts are of momentous value—that it should not bo deferred or negleoied. What, then, is this knowledge that the modern famer mnst have? He must know (he chemistry of his farm; ha must know the life and constiintion •f the things which grow from the soil; h» mast know their manner of growth; he mast know the insect life of the lo cality in which he lives; he must be a successful student of geology aud zo ology—especially thatbrauch of zoology vthieh deals with minute amnial life, entomology. This he must know, and know well. He mast know the friends and enemies of the apple tree, of the cabbage, of the grass of the meadow; he must know about the mil lions of living things that creep, mu and fir. Bat how can the farmer learn these things and thereby keep his land from wearing oat and his orop from de struction? Not by discussing the silver question; net by adopting free trade; aud not by a discussion of our polloy in the Pbilipulnes. He must study oare fully the tariff annually levied by the apple tree borers and moths, cabbage worms, potato bngs and caterpillars. This Is the field fer In vestigation The lnseots daily chal lenge the farmer to deadly combat. It it a battle to the death, and oannet be evaded. The farmer of today must know the science and philosophy of physical life, the life of the animal and tke plant, that he may be successful in his undertaking. We should, thsrefore, encourage the teaching of these sciences in onr common sohools. How delighted the boys and girls would be to learn about wheat and com; about the apple tree, the peach, the plnm and the pear; how these trees grow and are propagated; how they may be cared for and protected from the enemies that annually prey upon QUESTION ANSWERED.

A SURE CURE FOR CROUP. Twknty-fivk Yrars’ Constant Übb without a Failure.

Fol i lowing this hoarseness is a peculiar | rough cough. If Chamberlain’s Cough I Remedy is given as soon as the child | becomes hoarse, or even after the oroupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack.

Georgia has today plenty of g’-ain i.nd orago inside of her bor ders to lead her people and make a crop. Georgia reduced her fertilizer bills 20 per cent; her acreage in ootton 16 per cent, and with poor seasons in many sections the crop of cotton iu Georgia has been largely reduced and the price largely increased. The crop of 1899 was the cheapest made in many years. Oorn, hay, meat, mules, and clothing was very low. Labor was not high, aud on account of seasons no extra la bor was required to make the orop. The fall was dry and favorable for gather ing, therefore the crop was brought in market in fine condition and at low oost and brought fair prices, so that our peo ple have been benefited. Bu< conditions have changed. Mules, fertilizers and labor are 26 ftor cent higher; meat is 16 per cent higher; corn and forage 10 per cent higher; plow tools and farm machinery 60 per cent higer; cotton goods 40 per cent higher, so this crop will be a costly one com pared to 1899. I wonld respectfully urge, yes, beg of you, if need be, this new year day to hold the advantage which you have gained. Plan now to put in spring oats, plant largely of corn and all forage crope* so as to fill yoor barns; raise oat tie an 4 kags, in (act, all yon can con sume at koine; let yonr fertiliser bills be small and plant only yonr surplus lands in cotton. Remember that au X, 000,000 bale orop will bring yon more money than a 12.000,000 bale crop.
