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, — Savannah News. 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. OABTOniA. Bun the _/, The Kind You Hate Always Bought 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. — Wednesday’s Constitution. JWIT ANI) HUMOR. THE RAINMAKERS. Lord, we’ve been a-prayin’ for rain N’or to flood the valley an’ drown the plain; We knowed you’d tend it when you seen flt, But we got in a hurry, an’ prayed for it! En it jest come down On the bill and town, Till we’ve all got ready, good J.ord, to drown I Lord, forgive us if we complain, We thought we wuz ’pinted to run the rain. But we’ve ’bout decided, from spring to fall We don’t know nuthiu’, Lord at all! We sing an’ sigh To the clouds on high : “What we wuz needin',good Lord, wuz —dry!” —F. L. 9., in Constitution. 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.
