PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK.
The South’s Agricultural Interests
More Prosperous.
GEORGIA VERY BRIGHT
No Fariw the Outlook Is t'oneerne«| -
Only Hunger in Too Much
Fol ton - Iteiul. Farmers*!
From The Mnnufneturers’ Reconl.
The prosperous outlook in the South
for the coming year is being verified by
the steadily increasing trade noticeable
in all sections and the better feeling
which exists throughout the country.
In the cotton districts the decreased
yield has been compensated for by the ’
higher price received for the staple and i
the increased productions of cereals and
other crops, together with the snialler
amount of money expended in raising
them. In some few districts where the
yield was unusually low, it is likely that
there will be a decrease in the value of,
total crops, but. the average of the South
at large clearly shows a gain, and this so
material as to have inspired confidence
in all agricultural interests. This, of
course, affects the mercantile and manu
facturing business, and these again
banking.
In Georgia, where there is such a
diversity of interests, the outlook is
particularly bright. A recent issue of
the Atlanta Journal presents letters from
its correspondents in each county, and
these show that not only is the outlook
universally regarded as bfight, but in
nearly all cases the present conditions are ;
much better than at tins time last year. [
The farmers have not so much readv j
money, but they have plenty of food
stuffs, and have been able to pay off
■debts incurred while raising their crops,
many having cleared enough to carry
them well over the next season. From
one county in Middle Georgia comes the
statement that less mortgages have been
recorded and more paid oft' than for
many years past. Retail merchants
throughout the state report an equally
favorable condition. Their outstanding
accounts are being paid upl and conse
quently they are able to buy more freely.
This again is felt by the wholesale
houses and by manufacturers whose
goods are purchased, and it is all indi
cated in the pulse of trade—the banks.
These, almost without exception, state
that money is plenty and collections
easy to make.
This is all eminently satisfactory, vet
a word of caution is necessary. The
reason for this improvement is directly
traceable to the increased production of
other crops than the southern staple
cotton —and to the diversified industries
which are springing up. If farmers are
so carried away by the’better price re
ceived for cotton this present season as
to again make it their staple crop, the
same, or even greater distress than that
of 1891 and 1892 will again fall upon
them. We do not by any means intend
that the production of cotton should be
disregarded ; such a course would stimu
late its culture in other countries ami
enable them to compete with us, possi
bly to our disadvantage ; but what should
be done is to plant cotton in such
manner that it may be the “cash” crop,
* that which will bring in monm - , while
the other crops should be sufficient for
food, clothing ami supplies of all kinds.
Following such a course, and that was
the tendency wlten planting for this
present season, will of necessity limit
production and at the same time give
THE ARGUS; DALTON, GA., SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 4.1893,
farming a more sound financial basis.
No single production of a farm should
represent the complete success or abso
lute failure of the planter’s efforts for a
year. The old fabhfof carrying all one’s
eggs in a single basket, applies with pecu
liar directness to farming, and we are
safe in saying that the reason there are
not more successful farmers in the south
is owing to this very thing. Clearly it is
not the fault of the land or the climate ;
there are too many thrifty and prosper
ous farmers to disprove such an assertion.
Then it must be in the men ami their
methods. The former cannot be changed,
but the latter can be, ami the results of
last year as shojvn now indicate that t his
change has commenced. Every effort
should be used by thinking men, farmers,
merchants and others to prevent a repe
tition of the craze for cotton planting,
and to encourage the production of
diverse crops, otherwise the step forward
which has lieen taken this season will be
followed in the coming one by a step
backward, which will again paralyze the
agricultural interests witl| low-priced
cotton. _____

hospital two weeks since,
were held, this afternoon at
209 West * Twenty-third street.

and was born in Virginia* On the
breaking out of the civil war he joined
the confederate army and was pro
moted to the chief of General Joseph
Wheeler’s staff in the cavalry branch
of the confederate arm v. He was a brave
soldierand distinguished himself in
Wheeler’s raids. Colonel Reed came
to New York and became a member of
the Confederate Veterans Camp of
this city. His death is said to have
resulted from the shock caused by the
amputation of his leg. Rev. W. W.
Page read the service for the dead of
the Protestant Episcopal Church.

The Monument to the Confederate
Private—An Eloquent Letter.
In behalf of the monument to the
Private Soldier and Sailor of the Con.
federate states, whose valor and devo
tion have won alike the undying grat
itude of our people and the admira
tion of the world; and in behalf of the
Memorial Museum to be established in
the mansion occupied by President
Davis as long as the Confederacy
lasted, this appeal is made, to which
every citizen of the Southern States is
earnestly asked to givesympatny and
support.
It is designed that the monument
shall speak for each state of the Con
federacy, of its sacred love and rever
ence for the dead, the name of each
state giaven on the stones forming the
majestic column upon which will
stand the stalwart figure of the Con
federate Private; and in the Museum,
where one may learn the true story of
that dire struggle, and imbibe the
spirit of that self-sacrffice which gladly
gave its all at the call of duty, it is in
tended to assign a room to each state
(bearing its name), in which shall be
placed the sacred relics of the glorious
past; and that it shall also be repre
sented on the board of managers by a
lady regent from that state.
Throughout the south there are
many patriotic monuments erected to
the mertiory of the gallant leaders of
the Confederacy, but none to the
heroic private, who won its glorious
victories and bore the severest hard
ships. These memorials are to com
memorate the virtues of all the heroes
from all the Sou*hern States.
Perhaps no one spot so speaks of
the people of the Confederacy, or is
more associated with their unparal
leled heroism, than Richmond, the
capiatl, on whose most lofty hill,
overlooking those fields once drenched
with the blood of the soldier from
every stale, and that on-sweeping river
so gallantly defended by the intrepid
sailor, it should be our pride and glory
to rear this unique monument —the
combined offering of love and grati
tude from from the entire southern
people. And surely within the walls
where so often gathered the valiant
men and true, these lasting memorials
of the noble sons and daughters of all
the south should be sacredly guarded,
that the past may beever held in hon
ored remembrance, and our children’s
children may learn—
■ How sublime a thing it is
To suffer and be strong."
To this end there will shortly be
held in this’eity a Memorial Bazaar.
In it there will be a table, or tent, for
for each state, bearing its name,shield,
colors, anti motto; and it is earnestly
desired that each state shall assist its
own table with contributions of all
kinds. This bazaar will be under the
auspices of the ipemorial associations
and Confederate camps, and direct
appeals will soon be sent out by them
to enlist the active co-operation of
those who never failed to honor—what
now is only a memory near to every
heart—the cause they believed to be
right.
