with Mr. Joisah Carter as editor
in chief, and a brilliant corps of

State Fair.
The State Fair is on in Atlanta
and a good time is waiting for all
who are able to take a day off and
go see the big show.
After working hard all the year
every man owes it to himself and
family to seek a little pleasure of
this kind. And in this
there is more than pleasure j u
store for those who go to the fair,
Much that is instructive and prof¬
itable may be seen there and fur
mera especially will be bene fitted
by the big show. \V e hope that all
our people may have a chance to
■pend a day or two at the fair and
thm they may see all that is to
Been.
According to the daily newspa¬
per talk there is a flattering pros¬
pect of a democratic victory in the
coming Presidential election of
Nov. 0. Various calculations and
predictions have been publish
ed and all of them wind up with
Bryan,s election. Thia
is all very encouraging to a tired
people aucl we and all of us only
hope that this prospect may ma¬
terialize in a great and glorious
viotory for the Nebraskan. If he
wins out there should be a great
torch-light procession in everytovvn
in Georgia. We think Conyers will
have one.

SEPTEMBER CONDITION
AN INTERESTING COMPARISON
OK CROP CONDITIONS
FOR THE MONTH.
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
It Shows the Coin punitive
Acreage, Ele., of This Year #Jrop
as Against Former Years.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6, 1900.
From the reports received from most
of the counties of Georgia, returnable at
this office on Sept. 6, 1900, shows the
con dition of the various crops as follows;

11. Condition ot Livestock gen-
12. SUGAR ernliy CANE—Compared ...... 97 per ct
to a a average............... 75 per ct
18. What casualties have affect
ed the ootton crop..........
Answer— Excessive rains in June,
drouth in J uly and August, extremo
hot weather, immature opening and rust.
It will be seen that our September re¬
ports shows the cotton condition to be
67., as against the August report, which
then showed 74., a decrease for August
of 7 points.
All other states in the cotton bell
thow a decline in August from 3 to 18
points. The loss amounts to 3 points in
Florida and Alabama, 0 in Texas, 7 in
Louisiana and Georgia, 13 in Tennessee
and South Carolina, 16 in North Caro¬
lina, 18 in Arkansas.
The government reports the condition
in different states on Sept. 1, 1900, as
follows:
Georgia, 69; Virginia, 73; North Caro¬
lina, 64; South Carolina, 60; Louisiana,
70; Texas, 77; Arkansas, 85; Tennessee,
04: Missouri, 64; Oklahoma, 18; Indian
Territory, 73; Florida, 71.
Average of Alt States.
On Sept. 1, 1S99, the government gave
out the following report as the condition
of the cotton crop:
North Carolina, 73; South Carolina,
68; Georgia, 69; Florida, 77; Alabama,
76; Mississippi, 78; Louisiana, 74; Tex¬
as, 61; Arkansas, 62; Tennessee. 76.
Average of states, 71.2.
If these figures show anything, it
points to a smaller crop than 1899by
several hundred thousand bales. Hence,
we believe that 12 cent cotton is not
all improbable.—Georgia Agricultural

ENTERTAINMENT.
“America’s great heart is now
being stirred to its depths by the
appeal for the destitute famine
orphans of India. Fully 500,000
of those helpless little ones are
thrown homeless and friendless
upon the world, and must perish
like their parents, unless the men
and women of Christendom reach
out to save them.”
Along this line Mrs. E. Roberts
requests us to announce that she
will sell to the highest bidder, at
the Court House, next Monday
night, a quilt which she has made
for the purpose of raising money
for the orphans. Mr. D. N. Hud

the people of Conyers will turn
out and help generously in the
cause.
