THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.
The Democratic state conven
tion acted wisely in not having
anything to say on the prohibi
tion question. The prohibition
ists, local optionists, and whisky
men are all democrats, and it
would have been unjust for the
platform to have declared for lo
cal option, thereby placing the ,
state prohibitionists and whisky ,
men in the light of not being i
loyal democrats. I
This prohibition question is a
moral one, and must be settled (
inside the Democratic ranks. If |
the majority of the people of ,
Georgia are in favor of state pro- (
hihition, let them elect men to ,
the legislature that will vote for |
that measure. If local option suits |
the people better than state pro- ,
hibitioD, they have a perfect right |
to vote for local option legislators. ,
If a man favors local option, he ,
has no right to say that a man
who favors state prohibits n or
licensed saloons is not a good
Democrat. A state prohibitionist
ought not to find fault with his
party for not incorporating his
opinion into its platfarm.
As the matter stands, the pro
hibition question is in the hands
of the voters. Let them settle it
as they wish.
THB GWINKKTT-JACKSON LINK.
Iu speaking of the recent survey
between Jackson and Gwinnett
counties, the Jackson Herald says:
The county line between Jackson
and' Gwinnett was surveyed last
weqk, and Jackson lost very heavi
ly in the survey. She lost about
2,000 or more acres of laud, most
all the property at Thompson’s
Mill, and several good substantial
citizens. It seems that every time
a line is run between Jackson and
other counties, that Jackson al
ways loses. The line has been run
between Jackson and some of the
other adjacent counties, and Jack
son lost heavily in the survey.
Either this oouuty has been claim
ing people and collecting taxes on
property for a long time which
rightfully and lawfully belonged
to other counties, or elso her rights
have not been well protected iu
these surveys. It is one or the
other. Of course, if Jackson has
been claiming people and property
not her own, we do not blame the
other counties for wanting what
belonged to them ; and, if it theirs,
it is nothing but right that they
should have what is theirs. We
admire them for insisting on their
claims. But it seems that it took
a long time to find out that Jack
son had borrowed some land.
Mr. Gordon Leviews, of Walker
county, is going to be married to
Miss Olive Emily Berry of New
nan, on the 27th inst. Miss Berry
is worth about half a million dol
lars, and is a most accomplished
young lady. Mr. Leviews has been
to the Georgia legislature.
Hon. E. T. Brown was cheered
iu everything that he said before
the State Democratic convention,
except when he said that he con
gratulated the Democracy of Geor
gia on the succees of the new
method of electing judges and
solicitors-general. There was no
applause for that part ot his
speech."
The Atlanta Journal says: “Kev.
S. Porter Jones preached at the
Baptist Tabernacle yesterday
morning.” S. Porter Jones! Can
it be possible that this is our old
friend, plain “Sam” Jones, who,
baviiig acquired fame, avordupois
and a competency, has at this late
date adopted the English style ol
parting the name on one side? We
do not believe that S. Porter
Jones could ever have won the
notoriety that Sam Janes did, —

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Tne national republican conven
tion is in session in Philadelphia.
McKinley will be unanimously
nominated for president,and prob
ably Roosevelt for vice president.
The platform will be the endorse
ment of the McKinley administra
tion. Trusts and the free coinage
of silver will be denounced. Im
perialism and high tariff will be
endorsed. In fact, the platform
will be about the same as 1896,
with a plauk on imperialism at
tached. Everything to be done is
■‘cut and dried,” except the vice ,
presidency, and Roosevelt can get
that piace, if he will accept.
NOW IS THE TIME TO II*TILIZE.
The wheat and oats are cut, and
the land, on which these grains
have .grown, ought to he allowed,
to rest for the remainder of the;
year. In the meantime, the weeds
and grasses will have growuj
enough, if turned under the soil in j
' the fall, to hwe considerably en
riched the land as well as loosed j
’ it. This is the way in which every!
1 farmer, if he will sow small grain !
and cultivate alternately every j
other year, can improve his laud, j
Many farmers have grown into
the custom of putting the wheat j
and oat land in peas and turning
them under iD the fall. This is
a better plan for enriching the
soil, but may be led to an excess.
The main advantage to be gained
in a pea crop is the supply of fer
tilizer nitrogen. There is but lit
tle potash and phosphoric acid in
peas; and, unless the laud is sup
plied with these constituents in
some other way the continuous
sowing of peas will add but little
to enriching the soil.
The Sparta Ishmaelite says: If
cow peas are continually grown on
the same soil, that soil would be
come fairly rich in fertilixer ni
trogen, yet it would not be mate
rially richer in potash and phos
phates; that is, it would make no
better crop of ootton after being
ten years continuously in cow
peas, than’ in, one year. A cow
pea crop of say 20,000 pounds of
green matter per acre will contain
in tops, roots, etc., 185 pounds of
nitrogen, 90 pounds of potash and
80 pounds of phosphoric acid. If
such a crop is turned down for a
sale crop—cotton for example—
the results will possibly prove
very satisfactory. Having made
a success with cow peas one year
the planter will possibly try the
same plan over again and this is
where the trouble shows up.
While the pea crop, if it makes,
can supply the nitrogen easily
enough, the 90 pounds of potash
and 80' pounds of phosphoric acid
must come from the soil. As all
know that soils do become ex
hausted, we also know that peas
cannot continue to supply free
nitrogen unless appropriately fed
with plant food. Using the above
data for every 100 pounds of fer
tilizer nitrogen drawn from the
air by cow peas, the soil must give
up 67 pounds of potash and 28
pounds of phosphoric acid, in fact
the drain on the soil is rather a
heavy one.
Though cow peas do draw heav
ily on the soil, yet this same prop
erty may be made a Bource of
profit. For example, fertilizer
potash and phosphoric aoid coßt
the planter about five cents each
per pound, while fertilizer nitro
gen cost about fifteen cents per
pound. To buy the necessary 90
pounds and 80 pounds phosphate
at five cents per pound means an
outlay of $6. For this we get 100
pounds of fertilizer nitrogen worth,
at fifteen cents per pound, sls.
The apparent profit on the trans
action is $9, or 160 per cent of the
money invested. The gain is much
greater than this really. In the
form of sale crops the elements of
plant food are worth much more
than when iu the form of fertilizer
, materials. For the sake of com
parison, we will say the value is
doubled—theu an expenditure of
. $6 for the 90 pounds of potash
and 80 pounds of phosphoric acid
i giyes a return of $42
This profit is perfectly tangible
on a worn soil, and all soils be
come worn out unless intelligently
1 handled. The main point is to
know you are taking off the soil
in sale crops, and what you are
putting back is to make good the
drains raising from the sale crops
It is evident from what we have
shown that cow peas are an excel
lent fertilizer, if properly fertil
ized themselves. Planters must
not expect to make something out
of nothing through a scientific
hocus pocus. Money well invest
ed pays in the form of dividends,
but there are uo dividends where
there are no investments. In this
case the potash and phosphate
make up the investment and the
nitrogen is the dividend, and it is
1 a very handsome one, too.

TE2 SITUATION IN CHINA
j London, June 19.—A dispatch
' from Shanghai announces that the
United States transport Thomas,
with troops for Manila, was di
verted at Nagasaki and has ar
rived at Taku with 1,200 men.
The following important dis
patch has just come from Shang
hai •
Shanghai, June 19.—The Rus
sian relieving force arrived outside
of Pekiu this morning and imme
diately began to attack the city
on two sides, employing numerous
artillery.
“The force apparently arrived
in the nick of time, for the Chi
neae assert that the attack upon
the legations had been successfully
renewed Nothing definite is
known as to the result,! xcept that
the Chinese were disappointed,
although other reports are that
'the Chinese have since massacred
all the foreigners in Pekin.”
A modification of these rumors
received at Berlin is that the
French, as well as the Germau
minister, has been killed.
The Shanghai correspondent of
The Daily Express says he is of
ficially informed that Japan is
moboliziug twenty-five thousand
men for immediate transport. —

BHE DECIDED TO REMAIN.
“I will,” she exclaimed, “I will
not live with you another day.”
“You will leave me, will you?”
he calmly asked.
“Yes, I will.”
“When ?”
“Now—right off—this minute.”
“You’ll go away ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“1 wouldn’t, if I were you.”
“But I will, and I defy you to
prevent me. I have suffered at
your hand as long as I can put up
with it ”
“Oh, I shan’t try to stop you,”
he quietly replied. “I’ll simply
report to the police that my wife
has mysteriously disappeared
They’ll want your description, and
I will give it. You wear No. 7
shoes; you have an extra large
mouth; you walk stiff in your
knees; your nose turns up at the
end; eyes rather on the squint;
voice like a—”
“Wretch I You wouldn’t dare
do that ?” she screamed.
“I certainly will, and the de
scription will go in all the papers.”
They glared at each other a mo
ment in silence. Then it was plain
to be seen i that he had the dead
wood on her.
Not long ago a lady went to Sain
Jones, told him that she had a
son that was so bad she couldn’t
control him, and asked him for
advice. Mr Jones asked her the
age of the boy, and, on being told
that ha was just ten years of age,
remarked, “If I were a woman,
and had a ten-year old boy that I
couldn’t control, I’d wring his
neck off and go out of the kid
business. ”
TEACHERS’ EXAMINATION.
Sixty-four white teachers and
twenty-one colored stood the
teachers’ examination on last Sat
urday.
The instructions, in regard to
the examination, published in
these columns, were Btrictly en
forced.
The teachers worked heroically,
and we doubt if there was a class
of teachers in the state that work
ed harder on last Saturday than
the teachers of Gwinnett county.
The examination as held was
fair, and not a single teacher, with
the possible exception of one or
two, made any attempt at all to
oheat iu the least.
The Couuty School Commis
sioner desires to express to the
teachers profound gratitude for
the most excellent manner in
which they conducted themselves
during the examinrtion, aud he
promises to grade their papers
with minute exactness.
The examination papers will all
be graded by the first Tuesday in
July, the regular meeting of the
Board of Education, at which the
licenses will be issued.
