We want to ask those few of our people who are leaning to¬ wards the prospective third par¬ ty if they endorse the platform recently put out at St. Louis. Do they favor the go^prment ownership of railroads ahd con¬ trolling them as Georgia once did the State Road ? -Are they in favor of “ the governmenT is¬ suing legal tender notes and paying the Union Soldiers the difference between the price of depreciated mone v in which he was paid and gold? ” Are they in favor of the sentiment “ wipe out the color line in politics ” which was so heartily cheered by Ellington, the candidate for governor as a third partyite ? If there is a man in Rockdale comity, who is white, and be¬ lieves in white supremacy, that favors such ideas as the above we would like to hear from him. Georgia, and the South, belong to the white people of the south, and they intend to continue its owners and controlers and no schemes worked by northen ha¬ ters of the south will even suc¬ ceed in wrenching it from them. We have little respect for the dirty thieves of the ‘North who would rob us of our last dollar and laugh to see ££ black heels on white necks, ” and we have less for the southern demagogs, who, for the sake of office, are trying to lead our people to their aid. The old soldiers of the South are being taxed every day to pay enormous pensions to the fat Yankees who defeat¬ ed them in war and robbed them of their all, and yet they come again asking us to support a measure that will our poor old braves millions more. ££ Wipe out the color line and pension the Yahkee ” is battle cry of this new party, you will, occasionally, here Georgian hollering “ hurrah the third party. ” Such men a disgrace to our and we thank God that Fire destroyed the north end of Tybee Island, last Sunday.

Livingston killed it “ too dead for tion. ” There is no doubt, however, that there was a undercurrent of among our people, which to run in that direction, Col. Livingston made his here Saturday, that might developed into something ble, had it not been extinguish¬ ed and literally “ dried up, ” to speak, by the timely and refutable arguments made him against the falacy of The people were somewhat at sea, by reason of recent events, and there was a pretty general feeling of uncertainty prevail¬ ing among all classes, as to what would be the ultimate outcome of the St. Louis con¬ ference, aud its worse than con¬ fused and rancorous proceed¬ ings. Hence the great interest felt the coming of Col. fresh from its bitter and sionate conflicts, [to give counsel as to the best course pursue through the ing campaign. But his speech was and emphatically against third party in Georgia, and far as we have been able learn, it has completely crushed out and utterly destoyed ever of third party there may have heretofore ted in this country. The alliance people have to stand together, and light un¬ der the democratic banners and in the democratic ranks, to win all the victory they want. In fact, it is practically now.—Covington Star.

There was no money coffee at such prices, and the planters knew it at once, went to work in the only that they could and reduc¬ production. The next year crop was a smaller one. The year it was the same thing by the third year old'stocks consumed aud what was commanded good prices. Coffee is now worth four or times as much money as it wliep too much was raised. There is a good lesson in this our cotton planters. This in cotton is the same as great overproduction years coffee and the remedy is the I read with great interest Col. J. D. Rogers said to a man last week on the sub of raising corn. The Colo¬ is a practical farmer and man.—What he says have grea,t weight. His of the baisis of credit be the ability of the farmer to at home what he con¬ at home is a good one. the farmer who raises own com in preference to crediting the farmer who does not do so is realy the keynote of the cituation. I womld go a stepfutherthan Col.Rogers goes, and advise the interior mer chants not to sell anything to the farmer who does not raise corn unless he puts cash down with the order. I believe that if this rule wus applied every¬ where there would be be a rad¬ ical change effected. “I tell you, sir, that the man who raises nothing but cotton is not suitable man to credit. He may be soul of honor, and may have the best intentions, and want to do the right thing, but he cant do it. The present is a good illustration of this. There are thousands of men in in pebt to-day, and too beyond redemption, who have placed their hopes on cotton. If theX could sell their cotton for re a-, sonable prices they could and would pay their debts, but they cannot do this, and the conse¬ quence is those who trusted, them are left to hold the bag. “It seems rather hard to say what a man shall do or what he shall not do, hut if the far¬ mer is fooll enough to waist his time and energy on 6cent cot¬ ton, he should be made to feel the bab effects of bis foly, and should not be permitted to drag the merchants and his other friends down with him. If he will not protect himself he has no right to complain of other and wiserm^n protecting them¬ selves against the ill effects of his folly. “ If 1 were an interior mer¬ chant doing business directly with the farmer, my motto would be “no corn and meat, no credit.” If the merchants will act on this vve will see a great change for the better in less than two years. The men who raise only cotton are ruin¬ ing not only themselves, but the whole country as well, and should be forced to take a backseat,” *Mi. -
