The proh.^ionist of Home will
prosecute the contest of the recent
election to the end, no matter what
the result may be, as they desire to
purge the ballot of all illegal votes.
Some of the legislature seem to
think that there are too many
worthless dogs in the State. They
are right, and a pretty heavy dog
tax would rid the state of some of
them.
The betterment question seems
to be a very troublesome question
for the legislature to settle, It
will have to be talked about a good
deal yet before any conclusion with
respect to it is reached.
The indication now point to a
close and heated race for Georgia’s
next governor. Although the elec¬
tion is a long ways off, two or three
candidates are virtually in the race,
and the wire working has begun.
When the weeds of envy and the

‘den of the meanest thoughts and

The National Economist says:
“While the doth to wrap a bale of
cotton in cotton costs about 30
■cent* more than the cloth to wrap
«me jo jute at the present cut pri*
«o*s of jute, it is a good investment,
(because since the tare question is
practically settled, wrapping the
crop in cotton will make each bale
bring about $1.25 per bale more
than in jute.”
A correspondent of the Cuth
bert Liberal, writing from West
Point says: “The West Point mills
will soon begin to run 150 anti-trust
bagging looms, which will produce
150 yards to each loom per day ;
total per day, 22,500 yards. The
Rosed&le Manufacturing company
will run 100 anti-trust bagging
looms which will make 150 yards to
each loom per day ; total, 15,000
yards per day. Add the 22,500
yards from the West Point mills on
the 15,000 yards produced by the
Rosedale Manufacturing company
and it gives 37,300 yards of the an
ti-trust bagging that as long as or¬
ders continue to come in. Multi¬
ply the daily product by 125 and
you will see what we are doing
down by the river to prevent the
jute bagging outrage.”
“Trouble develops character,”
Bays an able writer : “That is a ve¬
ry unfortunate man who has no
trouble. It was sorrow that made
Tohn Bunyan the better dreamer,
and Dr. Young the better poet,
and O’Connell tho better orator,
and Bishop Hall the better preacher,
and Havc-lock tho better soldier,
and Kitto the better encyclopedist*
and Ruth the better daughter-in
law. Those who know not the def¬
inition of trouble, but look out up¬
on that of others from behind era
broidered curtains, or through lat¬
tice of royal palace, I consider urn
fortunate indeed. For they have
no depth of character, no ardor of
soul, no warmth of affection, no
thought of eterniiy, no love for God
—never realizing ‘it is not all ol life
•o live, nor all of death to die.” As
the Rhone enters Luke Leman foul,
and comes out chrystalline, so does
the sou] become purified of its un
cleanness by passage through the
vale of sorrow.”
HISTORY OF COTTON SEED.
IT HEADS DIKE A ROMANCE AND VET
IT IS ALL TRUE.
Was tver there a history, this
side of Cinderella, ef the uprising
of humility, like that of the cotton
seed ?
For seventy years despised as a
nuisance and burned or dumped as
garbage.
Then discovered to be the very
food for which the soil was hunger¬
ing, and reluctantly admitted to the
rank of utilities.
Shortly afterwards fsund to be nu¬
tritious lood for beast as well as soil*
and thereupon treated with some¬
thing like respect.
Once admitted ta the circle of
farm husbandries, found to hold 35
gallons ef pure oil to the ten, worth
is its crude state $14 to the ton, or
$40,000,000 for the whole crop of
seed.
But then a system was devised
for refining this oil up to a value of
one dollar a gallon, and the frugal
Italians placed a cask ef it at the
root of every oil tree, and then defi¬
ed the Borean breath of the Alps.
And then experience showed that
the ten of cotton seed was a better
fertilizer and a better stock feed
when robbed of its 85 gallons of oil
than before!
And that the hulls of the seed
made the best of fuel for feeding
the oil mill engine.
And that the asheg of the hulls
scooped from the enjine’s drift had
;he highest commercial value as
potash!
And that the ‘‘reiuae” of the
whole made the best and purest
soap stock, to carry to the toilet the
perfumes of Lubin or Colgate.
About this time we began to
spell seed with capital letters.
And how it traveled abroad in its
various dresses. As meal cakes it
whitened the meadows of England
with woolly fleeces and fattened the
British cattle under the oaks ; its
sputtered on the stoves of the
Dutch in lieu of lard, it glistened
in the cafes of Paris as olive oil un¬
der seals and signatures it could
not even pronounce t® save its life,
and from under the dikes in Hol¬
land it went forth to parade in all
bravery as butter and buUerine.
In our country it renewed the
westing strength of Southern fields
and clad them with whiteness that
would shame the fleeces of the Ar¬
gonauts. It knocked the western
hog into spots and poured the Wes¬
tern lard out of the fryingpan into
the fire. It furnished the Armours
and Fairbanks with a pure substi¬
tute for the rancid fat they had
been shipping us, and suggested
the possibility of a. clean and cheap
lard.
And about this time Congress
jumped on to cotton seed with both
feet and proposed to check its fur¬
ther career by a prohibitory tax.—
Oglethorpe Echo.
An Editor's Duties.
We apologize for mistakes made
in a’l former issues and say they
were inexcusable, as all an editor
has io do is to hunt news, and clean
the rollers, and set type, and sweep
the floor, and pen short items, and
fold papers, and write wrappers, and
make the paste, and mail the pa¬
pers, and distribute the type, and
talk to visitors, and carry water,
and saw wood, and read the proofs,
and correct mistakes, and hunt the
shears to write editorials, and
dodge the bills, and dun delin¬
quents, and take cussings from the
whole force, and tell oar subscri¬
bers that we need money. We
«ay that we have no business to
make mistakes while attending to
these little matters and getting our
living on gopher-tail soup flavored
with imagination, and wearing old
shoes and no collar, and a patch
on our pants, and obliged to turn
a who smiling countenance to the man
tells us that our paper isn’t
worth $1 anyhow, and that he
could make a better one with his
eyes shut.—Ex.
Tho Infamous Trusts.
The following from the Marietta
Journal is strong and clear. It is
applicable to railroad trusts, as well
aa that of a different character:
“Trusts are legalized thefts. They
are They robbery by lawful process.

per cent, per annum on the money

ed nothing, built nothing, created

Northern in the Race.
We see in the Sparta Ishmaelite
that Hon. W. J. Northern, after
having; been urged by leading citizens
of the State, bas consented to make
the race for Governor. Ho is a
good, pure man, having the interests
of Georgia at heart and comes into
the race with a record without blem¬
ish, or stain. The Ishmaelite says:
“Hon, W. J. Northern having long
been urged by leading citizens of
ali callings, thro ughot the State, to
allow the use of his name for the
corning Gubernatorial nomination
has, after carefully weighing the
matter, decided to accede to their
wishes and enter the race.
He is a fair, square, dean man,
and he purposes to make an open*
honorable race—leaving the issue
with the Democratic voters of the
State.
Ttiere isifit a better man for the
position of Governor in the State*
ner is there one worthier of being
honored by the people.
His antecedents, hopes, aims,
principles, constitute him one of
the people, and their interests and
those of the State will be safe in his
administrative keeping.
Use Cotton Only.
Below we give a piece clipped
from the Southern Alliance Farmer
that is worth the serious considers
lion ef all the farmers. Alliance
men of Oconee, bring this question
before your Alliance and pass suita¬
ble resolutions upon it- You will
derive great benefits by eo doing.
“Farmers let this be the last season
that you ever buy a pound of
guano, grain or feed that is nor put
in cotton sacks. This matter is
absolutely in you •hands. All you
have to do is to demand it. If, by
the tariff, you are to be shut out
from all competing with foseign
manufactories of finer goods, you
must use every means to increase
the consumption of cotton and its
manufacture into coarse fabrics
which can oe made as near the field
as possible. Cotton is, and always
will be, the money crop of the
southern farmer. To increase its
consumption at home, and thereby
reduce the surplus so as to command
a better price from foreign manu¬
facturers is both liis business and
his duty.”
Cotton Bagging Supply.
In thd hurry to place erders for
cotton bagging, farmers and mer¬
chants have asked the delivery for
the entire season, io be made in Au
gust and September. This will not
give the milla any work for October
and November. The milis cannot,
of course, meet eo great a demand
in sueh limited time.
I am just in receipt of a commu¬
nication from the mills, asking that
they be authorized by purchasers
to divide out the amount already in
hand and make the distribution of
bagging more equal. Additional
orders can be filled for the early
months, if the mills are authorized
to carry over a part ef their orders
on band to the later months.
1 beg that parties who have sent
in orders will accommodate this re
quest of the manufacturers, so that
ali farmers may have an equal
chance to obtain cotton bagging for
the early months.
