POWDER
Absolutely Pure.
This powder never varies. A marvel of
purity, strength and wholesomeness. More
economical than the ordinary kinds, and
cannot be sold in competition with the
multitude of low test, short weight, alum
or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans,

Agricultural JjEpartmErit,
The backwardness of the crops in
Georgia is attributed to the excessive
rain fall in the month of May. High
waters destroyed a vast number of
valuable crops on and near the rivers.
Observations showed that the injury
over the State was greatly in excess
of that for a series of years.
CROP REPORT.
The report of the Department of
Agriculture for Georgia on the 10th
shows the corn crop is 4 points below
the condition of last year on the 1st
of June. The crops are from 10 to 20
days behind the usual average at this
date last year, caused by heavy rains,
much having to be replanted. The
stand of cotton is generally poor.

A MODEL FARM.
^ -yjjjjrp ij>o THK PLANTATION OI PRI
MES W. JONES, IN BAKER COUNTY.
Albany, Ga., May 30.—[special]—
“Being desirous of enjoying the brac
ing atmosphere of the country, and of
looking at the crops generally, Satur
day evening found the Avriter at the
hospitable residence of “tlie first bale
of cotton man,” P. W. Jones, of Baker
county. Mr. Jones lias 400 acres of
cotton "that will average half to knee-
high. which he is cultivating with
seven mules, besides his corn, pota
toes. sugar cane and other crops. Ev
ery iiill of it is highly manured Avith
compost, and Avhile he expects to
gather 200 bales, an average crop on-
Jv, he contends there is no money in
farming with free labor raising every
thing consumed on the plantation ex
cept bacon, and enough of that to
supply his table all the year. If there
is not any money in farming, with a
yield of from fifteen to twenty bales
to the ploAV—which is an immense
crop—what are our agriculturalists to
do? Mr. Jones has about twenty
acres in peaches of every variety.
The trees are loaded down with fruit.
He expects to commence marketing
them by the 15th of June, Avhicli dem
onstrates that south-west Georgia is
a peach country, and that a more re
munerative crop cannot be raised.
He has also plums, sand pears, and
other varieties of fruit. ”
Tlie is called a model farm and so it
is, compared with the generality of
farms in Georgia. But it is making
only half a bale to the acre. Mr.
Jones ought to cultivate 200 acres and
make a bale to every acre, and then
he would save an expense of from
4,200 to 4,GOO dollars in work. His 200
bales would then bring him a hand
some profit of five thousand dollars
or more. This is Avritten in haste,
without entering into particulars.
This is the true policy for the cotton
| groAver, Avork less land and make ev
ery acre bring a bale and make tne
land in the same way yield eA r erytliing
possible for home consumption.
Sowing Rye in Corn.—If farmers
will soav one-lialf bushel of Avinter rye
to the acre in their corn, |and plow in
the last time, it will not only have a
tendency to choke out the weeds that
start up afterward, but there will be
no danger of dry murrain among cat
tle from eating too freely of dry stalks,
as the rye Avill remain green through
the winter, and will be eaten by stock
in preference to the com fodder. It
makes a desirable feed for all kinds of
stock, and aids materially inthe quali
ty of milk produced, besides proving a
saving of from one to tAvo tons of hay
for every acre soAvn, and last, but not
least, it affords a green crop to plow
under in the spring Avhich will reneAV
and enrich the land.—Ex.

Rev. Sam Jones
Made some very severe remarks in
Columbus, Miss., concerning a feAv
members of the Baptist church, who
had attempted, it w r ould seem, to get
some new converts to join their
church on the ground that immersion
was the only valid method of adminis
tering the rite of baptism. The re
port soon ran oyer the country that
his remarks applied to the whole Bap
tist church and a certain Dr. Jeffry,
a Baptist clergyman of Indianapolis,
made a scathing publication concern
ing Mr. Jones and his reputed offence.
The latter made the following expla
nation of Avhat he had said, which it
seems Avas accepted by Dr. Jeffrey in
the spirit in Avhich it was made. The
folloAving dispatch speaks for itself:
Sam Jones Apologizes.—India
napolis, Ind., June 14.—The contro
versy of Sam Jones with Dr. Jeffrey
has ended in the evangelist apologiz
ing very meekly for the language
which caused Dr. Jeffrey to denounce
him as a falsifier and moral scaven
ger. In his sermon to-day Mr. Jones
said: “I have been sorry a dozen
times that the remark I made as to a
half dozen proselyters should have
been taken to have, meant a great
Christian denomination. As God is
my judge I meant only a few men Avho
were running around trying to do
harm Avhere I wanted to do good.
God bless the Baptist church!
I love it, for I got the best Avife out
of it that ever a man Avas blessed Avith;
but I do hate a proselyter as I hate
the devil. When I said what I did in
Columbus I no more meant tlie Bap
tist church or other Christian church
than I meant the angels in heaven. It
was the only thing in all my ministry
that I eA r er said to reflect on any de
nomination and that applies only to
those avIio were trying to do 'mis
chief.”

The Course of Cotton.
The Chronicle prints to-day an iui
portant cotton circular from the pen
of Mr. Ellison. of Liverpool. He is
recognized as high authority in cotton
statistics, and shrewd and prominent
American observers believe he is now
right in his review and convictions.
Tlie supply of cotton in Europe is
believed to be very small, and Eng
lish manufacturers* it is said, have ob
tained contracts which will keep them
six months ahead. It is certain that,
so far as Great Britain is concerned
the supply of cotton for the remain
der of the season will not be sufficient
to keep up the present rates of con
sumption without leading to a mate
rial advance in prices. At tlie end of
April the visible supply for Great
Britain was 294,000 bales less than
last year. As usual this advance in
cotton comes on when it is too late to
benefit the poor Southern planter,
and the speculator has the corner all
his own way.—Augusta Chronicle.
The cotton groAvers can hereafter
regulate this to suit.themselves, make
less cotton and everything
that they need at home.
From tho Birmingham Age.
Yesterday an Age man was an at
tentive listener to the conversation of
a small gronp of railroad men. “This
talk about trains running sixty miles
an hour is all bosh,” said a big, broad-
shouldered engineer. “Why, there is
not a fast train on any road in the
country that makes regularly more
than forty-eight miles an hour. Say,
did you \ ever figure on that sixty
miles an hour business? Now, see
here; take an engine Avith six-foot
drivers and to make a mile a minute
the drivers must make over three hun
dred revolutions.”
“Say? You’ve never been on a
Texas road have you?” inquired a
small sized chap avIio Avas smoking a
stogy. “Why, in Texas where the
roads have no curves or grades, we
run freight trains sixty miles an hour
schedule time, an’ talking’ ’bout fast
trains, why, I once ran a fast mail on
a Texas line, and Ave ran so fast that
the mile posts seemed to be a solid
wall, but still we didn’t gain any
thing by running so fast, for Ave had
to wait at every station during the
night for the rays from the head light
to catch up with the train.”
“Wa’nt you afraid?” inquired a
young brakeman in the croAvd.
“’Fraid, nothin’! Why, don’t you
know' there’s less danger of an en
gine jumping the track Avhen it’s run
ning fast than Avlien it’s running slow?
The electricity or something in the
track seems to hold the engine down.
Why, I Avas running an extra engine
