H&bout Big Plantations.
J^Therejis a'"growing disposition
among the farmers of the South to
to do away with big plantations
and inaugurate a new system of
farming. The past experience of
the farmers show that, as a rule,
big farms do not pay. Many of
our weekly exchanges are discus
sing this question and most of
them take the position that it is
essential to the prosperity of the
farmers that the large plantation
should bo divided into smaller
ones. The Covington Star takes
tliis view of the
“The big Georgia plantation
must go, and tho thrifty little two
mule farm is the one to take its
place.
Georgia is an agricultural State
hut she cannot raise corn for the
market, in competition with the
fertile soil of the west. But Geor
gia can and must raise enough corn
for her own consumption, or her
fnnners willkoon all be bound up
under tbo unrelenting mortgage
as they are in Michigan.
’ The big farm will not pay in
Georgia, but tho small one will.
The two-mule farm is the one for
this section. I ho expense is not
so great, and the lands can be en
riched moro easily.
A thorough discussion of this
subject can do no harm and may
result in much ROO.UO tho tamors.

In a recent interview, Mr. Glad
stone declared that “by and
through freo trade” wages had
been largely advanced in England
and expressed the opinion that
higher wages would be the result
in tho United States of freer com
moroial intercourse with tho rest
of tho world. “As long as Ameri
ca retains protection,” ho said,
“England will be the foremost of
commercial nations, but when
America adopts free trade we
must take tho second place,
England would gain immensely
by froe trade m America, but
America would gain still more.”
Freo trade, as Mr. Gladstone uu
derstands it, is impossible in this
country, but. no Englishmans
opinion as to its eltects is w orth
moro. His opinion is certainly
moro valuable than that of the
man Pottifer, of whom the repub- '
v iican press made -i so much . during .

Gon. Longstreet, who is now in
Washington aiding in arranging
for thd inauguration of Gen. Har
rison, has been invited by the
Michigan Republican Club to de
liver an address before that body
on Fob. 22 , Washington’s birth
day. The address will he deliv

bn invitation is headed by Gen.
Alger, and the club includes in
its membership the prominent re
publicans of Michigan. Itisuu
derstood that Gon. Longstreet
will accept. A special car has
been placed at his disposal, and
this will doubtless be made the
occasion for a big rebublican jolli
lication.

The Star believes that Coving¬

extended to Walnut Grove and
Logansvillo. It could be built
and equipped very cheap, and the
freight it would get to haul would
make it pay very handsomely. A
dummy engine would do the work.

that he will, however, when the

If Mr. Carlisle’s constituents want
him to continue to represent them,
as they undoubtedly do, he will
accede probably to their demands
notwithstanding he might make

For the restoration of faded and
gray hair to its original color and
freshness, Ayer's Hair Vigor re
maines unrivaled. This is the
most popular and valuable toilet
preparation in the world; all who
use it are perfectly satisfied that
it is the best.
The coming prohibition election
in Pennsylvania is hound to be
exciting. Prohibition elections
everywhere are so. Party lines
will not be drawn though it is cer¬
tain that the bulk of the “dry
vote will be cast by the republi¬
cans. Pennsylvania has voted on
prohibition once before. It was
thirty-five years ago, about the
time that Maine began the experi¬
ment. The prohibitionists at that
election came within about 5,000
votes of carrying Pennsylvania,
polling 158,342 votes to 163,510
“for the sale.” It is generally
conceded that the prohibitionists
will not carry the state this time,
but they mean to make a whoop¬
ing campaign and will undoudtedly
poll a heavy vote. They have some
of the most influential newspapers
in the state and a brigade of
orators on their side.
A beautiful young lady became
so sadly disfigured with pimples
and blotches that it was feared
she would die of grief. A friend
recommended Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
which she took, and was complete¬
ly cured. She is now one of the
fairest of the fair.
The Charleston News and Cour¬
ier thinks Mr. Harrison would do
well to write to President Cleve¬
land and request that he leave his
veto machine in tho White House.
The point is ■well made. Presi¬
dent Cleveland by his vetoes has in
many instances saved the country
from vicious legislation and pro¬
tected the treasury against the
waste of many millions. Let us
hope that President Harrison will
be as conscientious and firm as
his predecessor.
Harrisburg, Pa., furnishes a ter¬
rible example. A girl in that
city has had her face paralyzed
from the effects of chewing gum.
We dare not hope for any decided
reform as the result of this mis¬
fortune, because the frequent
obituaries of young men who have
been slain by the deadly cigarette
are read with apparent indifference
by the host of juveniles who are
fond of poisoning their lungs.
What tho cigarette is to the gay
small boy, chewing gum is to the
giddy young girl.
Marion, Ill., is disturbed by a
little war of races. A firm of to
bacco packers of that city a few
days ago employed a large num¬
ber of colored men from one of
the tobacco growing states of the
south. The presence of these
colored men in the factory is ob¬
jected to by the white employes.
The colored men have been as¬
saulted in their homes, and have
been warned to leave the factory.
They are not disposed to heed the
warning, however, and the prob¬
ability is that there will be a se¬
rious conflict between them and
the white employes.
As mistress of the white house
Mrs. Cleveland has reflected
credit upon American woman¬
hood. She entered upon the du¬
ties of that position under some
disadvantages, but she has shown
a marked degree of tact, good
sense and refinement, and she lias
won the admiration and respect
of both sexes and of all parties
and classes. AYhile the praise be¬
stowed upon her has been very
great, it has been sincere. It has
not caused her to become vain,
and that fact afiords unmistaka¬
ble evidence that it was deserved.
She has been dignified without
being overbearing, charming
without being affected, and cour
teous without being criiiging.
When she retires to private life
next month with Her distinguished
husband, she will have been, per
haps the most popular mistress of
the white House, and-it no doubt
will be a source of pleasure to her
to know that she has exerted an
lntiU8nco for "ood.

When all other remedies leave far.ee, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral has been repeatedly known to
jaulce a complete cure*. “ Twenty years ago,”
writes Samuel Griggs, of Waukegan, Ill., ” I was
troubled with a disease of the lungs. Doctors
afforded no relief, and said I could not live
many- months. X began using Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral, and soon found it was helping me. I
continued to take this medicine until a cure was
effected- I have no doubt that
Ayer’s Cher
ry Pectoral saved my life.” Scores of testimo¬
nials, equally as satisfactory, are on file.

There is Hope 1
Even vrhen Consumption has apparently claimed
its victim, if Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is promptly
and persistently resorted to. Rodney Johnson,
of Springfield, Ill., states: “ Six years ago, I
contracted a severe coni which settled on niy
lungs and soon developed ail the symptoms of
consumption. I was so completely prostrated
as to be confined to my bed most of the time.
After trying various prescriptions, without ben¬
efit, my physician finally determined to giva
me Ayer’s Cher
ry Pectoral.
I took three bottles of this preparation, and ana,
now well.”
