Our Farmers Alright.
j "J We have every reason to say
that the farmers in our county
are doing very well under the
circumstances,and this is a great
compliment to them in that
it evidences their ability to
manage well under difficult sur¬
roundings . The number, who
are forced io market their cotton
as gathered, is small, and a
majority of ( hem will come out
even and have something left.
On the ethei hand we have
many tillers of the soil who
have their entire crop stored at
home, where it will remain un¬
f i! the market improves.
These are planters who make
(heir living at home and who
are able to carry money in their
pockets from one year through
l he next, and so on, from year
year, without feeling that it

is this true with regard to Athens

career in Kentucky has been al¬

But at Athens he ruled things
with a high hand and a lofty

was appointed to acornmand of

beautiful college campus was a
Campus Martins • Troops were
quarteied in the rooms of the
Phi Kappa and Demosthenian
societies. The college chapel,
where public worship had been
held and where Hill, Stephens
and the Cobbs had spoken, was
a barrackroom full of royster
ing bluecoats. A sentinel
guarded the gate surmounted
by the arch and coat of arms
of Georgia. All exercises were
closed. In tho rude clash of
arms letters as well as laws
were silent.
On one occasion a party of
young people were walking
through the college campus.
They bursted into song and
among their selections they
gave “Bonny Blue Flag.” They
were summarily arrested, car¬
ried before an officer and fined
$23 each. Ladies and men
were required to go before the
officers of the post and take the
oath in order to secure letters
out of the postoffice. This lat
ter condition was not peculiar
to Athens, but the prominence
of the commander of that post
now does not serve to cover up
the impression left in tlie uni
versity town at this time.
And now this man comes for
ward with the brazeu assurance
NO. 38
to ask the people of Georgia to
support him in his quixotic ef
forts to support tho will of tho
people. Tho war is over but
there are some of its memories
that will never be forgotten nor
forgiven, Such high-handed
tyranny of self constituted sa
traps isone of the tilings that
will be remembered as long as
there is a spark of patriotic
feeling in tho heart of a true
Southern man.
As long as the gold men were
determined to put out a ticket,
it does look like they might
have selected a man with a less
unsavory record than this man
Palmer as their standard bear¬
er. As we sabl before, General
Buckner is in hud company.—

Negro Speeh.
A young negro fellow mounted
a box in front of the ccurthcuse
Monday evening and exorcised
his lungs for about an hour and
a half in a speech urging his
race to greater moral an i i idm
trial effort and denouncing their
lack of independence and race
pride. He made a very good
speech and promised to return
again next week a id lecture
again.
