The reporter makes haste and delays not to hunt up a cotton buyer to ascer tain the cause ot this sudden ri-e, and the cause alleged by the buyer is the short crop. Now, somebody has been awfully fooled witli reference to the short receipts of the last fal ’s crop, either the cotton reporters deceived the prominent cotton buyer* or the promi nent cotton buyer* deceived the men who made it by the sweat of their brows. The farmers were urged on the street corners, in tbe stores and along the pub lic highways to “rush in their cotton before the bottom drops oat of the good prices." Prominent cotton men asserted anywbeieand everywhere that there never was such a crop mode a* will be gathered this fall. Prominent man lecturers claimed that tbe mills had a year’s supply of go-da already made sad on hand at the factories so between these two millstones grinding out hope and fear, the horny handed son of toil, rushed with great rushing and now he is calmly sitting on the stool of repentance with hu empty pocket trying to be composed. Now there none thing that I want to say just here aiul I can’t collapse intoa perfect state of composure until I have said it. We want these esi imaters of the Southern cotton cro < to stop lying about our pro-pect* in the spring, sum mer and autumn or go out of the esti mating business. They have thousands of reasons for making mistakes and each reason represents a dollar. We are told in yesterday's paper that the world to-day wants more cotton than has been raised. Wonder if the world has jmt found that out? Oh Ilf it could have known it a little earlier. It go-s on to state that, "untold riche* are hovering over the Southern States,” wonder if by some unusual change of circumstances they! will hover over the farm as well as the warehouse and compresses and hover low down enough to bathe the aching brow of the farmer with its blessed influences If it does he will get down upon his knees in tbe cotton field and thank God for the sight of prosperity’s sunshine. I commence on these things to show my brother farmers bow the world, the flesh and the devil manage to militate against their interests. Now, brother farmer, yon cannot hope to better your self materially under the present con dition of affairs so long as you plant all cotton. For long years there has been an aching void in your financial pros perity; you have been battling with ad verse circumstances until hope with you has grown gray. You have been con tending with a disease, the symptons of which, God knows, you haye plainly felt, but the canse of which iyon have been unable to account. You have been wiling out deeper and yet deeper into a mighty stream that threatens each slep to overwhelm you, borne along by a tide that is resistless in its force so long as you keep your face in the di rection that will ultimately lead to your overthrow. Yon hope to stem the tide and cross over once more a free man, this you will never do for there arc bidden dangers, lurking beneath the fair surface above with which you will be unable to grappie and financial ruin will be yourjportion and poverty, tho heritage bequeathed to your cfcii^r ren. Turn about and seek the shore where prosperity grows as the green bay tree and contentment reigns su preme. G. T. M. COL. W. L. PEEK. A VISIT TO THE HOME OF A GREAT ALLIANCE MAN. •(Sit* Alttavc*—Hh» YUmn I Htou Shoals, G*. Jan. 25,1680. Fob Tax Eax***:—Leaving High Shoals on Tuesday morning, I ha-1 a moat delightful drive through the country, for a distance ef 35 miles throngs the count! a of Oconee, Walton and over into Rockdale, wh re, after a drive of six hours, I was r ceived to >te moat hospitable home of Col.W. L.Peek, the n<-wly elected President of the Alii- e exchange. I wae met at the gale by the Colonel, who as be gr sped my band warmly, gave me a regular old fashion Georgia welcome to bta lovely llOHtte There tax kind of magnetism about Colonel Peek which extends itself to a'-l those around him, and inspire* them with a new zeal, aa it were. He is one of the beat farmers that tbe State has in it, with, aa Sam Jones would say * plenty of "git np and git” in him. CoL Peek was tbe first man to intro duce a system of tensing land in h ( county, and the good effect therefrom may be seen all around him. As all of the readers of the Baxxbb already know, Col. Peek raised more corn on one atre of land than any other farmer in the State, add it was done too at the very low cost of 35 cents per bushel. Doubtless allot yoorreaders know the amount of corn he raised on one acre, and tbe formula wh o i be used in the manuring, and the cultiva tion thereof, but as some of them may probably bave forgotten it I will give it here, hoping thereby to stimulate some one.-and enco irage them to make a similar attempt at being the first far mer in the State. Col. Peek made on the one acre 131 % 'bushels of corn, or about as much as the, average fanner makes on too acres. About the first of April he had the land which is a It le muddy branch bottouA broken up with a two horse plow, turning under everything, ou it After breaking tbe land he throw four wagon loads of stable mature broadcast over and plowed it again, turning under the •table manure, and at tbe same time following the turn plow with a bull- tongue anb-soiler.. The ground now being thoroughly prepared, he laid off the rows, four feet apart and .planted the corn without bedding the land. With the com he put in 16 bushels of cotton seed; on either side of the corn. At the second plowing he potto 606 pounds of guano on either tale of corn row,breaking out middles thoroughly-!- at the third and !a>t plowing he put on 500 pound- of cotton seed meal broad cast over the field- l The above is* very simple formula, and ft is to be hoped that uiore ot our farmers will try the experiment. Col, Peek will put theaam.- acre in corn this year, and cultivated and manured the same as last year. When asked about the Exchange, he replied, “that it was in a flourishing condition,” and was ‘-exceeding the highest euectation of it* most sanguine frieuds.’’ >J?W«ll Co!., will the duties iff ' President of the Exchange re quire the whole of your tim- to tbe exclusion <f your other duties?” “No .sir, I will oiuy be away from home two days ini each week, as my duties are mostly confiu d to the banking depart- ment.oftlio exchange, sir Yvinu, our agent, looks after all orders for fertilir zero, supplies, etc.’’Said lie, ** We are doing An immense business in the gua no department, and are sending it out at the: - rate of 350 to.is per day.” “Are the farmers paying cash for their gua no or are they giving their notes for it?” Well, air, the majority of them are paving tbe cash down for it, though we ship to a good many on good note ” “Changing tbe subject a little, who fa goiug to be the next governor of Georgia, i olonel?” "CoL Livingston will, sir, beyo> d the shadow of a doubt. He is today the strongest man in the state with the fanners and they are going to elect him governor next fall. There are oth ers who want to be governor, but this is not* time for a diversity of opinion among the alliancemen. We must cen ter on one man, or we shall meet with defeat, and Livingston is tbe man.’’ The many friends of Col. Peek throughout the district are talking of running him for congress, and should he give his consent for his name to go before the convention, Judge Stewart will have to look to his laurels. It is pretty well known that tbe farmers will put Judge Stewart in congress and if they turn their strength toward Col. Peek, which they are sure to do, he will be the next representative in cougress from the 6th district. WhHe the Colonel keeps pretty well posted with tbe political history of ttie state; he also believes in raising every thing at home that is to be used on the farm. He has a number colts, sired by some of the best blooded horses in the south, and also a large lot of young moles of his own raising. 1 have visited the home of a number f G eorgia’s greatest farmers, buff none of them are bffiter equipped for tbe ex tensive business whioh they carry on, than is Col.

I read somewhere in a book of Mexican travels a startling account of a happy wedding party assembled in an adobe betiding which was struck by on enormous aerolite that killed everybody and buried .the bonding out of sight in a twinkling. In one of Walt Whitman’s poems there tea line, “Where the lilacs lota 1a the dooryard bloomed.” I have never read or heard that line bnt instantly comes np in my mind tbe picture of that awful event in Mexico. Invariably the perfume of one suggests the dire and sulphurous cruelty of the other. There ore no lilacs In Mexl- Nur is there nny mention of flowers PATTI ROSA.

Yon cannot. And It is my purpose to tell yon—that Is why I have written this the late spring of 1884 there was liv ing at Dobbs’ Ferry, on the Hudson, in a very pretty little half Swiss cottage, that .glowed warm with red wood shingles through the Iliac bushes, my friend Bin- .ninger. I used to go . and see him quite often, for ho liad the Ideal homo of the •romancer. 1!>S wus the only perfect re alization of love tu a uamarred ,ky any of the utoturomg elements of life, that I had ever (eOfl. . TIo had married. a benntiful girl, with whom ho had fallen In lovei He had won hef in spite of wealthy rivals and the op position of wealthy parents. The whole courtship was a kind of beautiful Infatua tion. -Ho had a good position In * com- mirclal house in Bcaycr street, nud,on 'a m xlerute inOomp they had furnished this Httlft home and settled down hito that holy .selfishness which benlgnantly re- -gnrds toe-rest of tho universe ns subsidiary and contrlbuttvS. c ' -And toe rest of the Universe appeared to hato-eMcd- amd abetted tbe dream. Everything bloomed and glowed and sang for them unevciITTully. They were so radiant with lov.e themselves that they made the woril thine. - And I don’t think anybody of either sex conld' have watched them billing and cooing up there over the bine Hudson like a pair of robins withont feeling a happy kind of envy, mixed with A protest against tho decrees of Tato for haying concentrated all human happiness in one pair. Lon, as he called hey, was literally a radiant woman. Her palo beauty was of a passing word with ! after Lou. Two minutes with Hrnisshy mi toe comer, who said he laid got hta ■team launch and was going to drop in at Dobbs’ Ferry niin day with a cargo of presents f-.-r Bobble*. An hour’s worry over a firm oomplkA- torn, in which one of the partners Lad been unreasonable and curt; one by one toe hours fall of hard application, melted away. The voinee of the newsboys tohl him toe afternoon papers were oak Slowly tho day, which had been an exaa- peratiugiy hot one, draw to a dote. Four o'clock came at last, and he waa flying uptown to the Forty-second street depot. There was the usual crowd of business fellows on toe train. They talked bone, steamship, oiL They were light hearted, careless and comumuicative, and toe train dropped them all along, at Yonkers, Blverdalc, Hastings. At a few minutes past S o'clock Blnnin- ger stood ou his graveled walk. He had a little surprise in stare far Lou. He waited for her to put her head through the lilacs. He had grown accustomed to tola little luxury of expectation and Im patient welcome. For the first timo ho was disappointed. But in the three or four seconds that ha stood there making a noise on tho gravel with his cane, ho noticed how strangely still the afternoon wae against toe blithe ness of toe morning. - Than he went into too house with a sudden eagerness. - Bobbles was tied iu a high chair at the window, iris head hanging over on hta arm. His eyes were red. He had evi dently cried himself to Bleep. The table stood empty lathe middle of tho room. He had pictured the dinner waiting and the copper tea urn singing and steaming. The Toiceleps place maddened him. “Lotty,” he cried encouragingly, and then Imperatively; stamping his foot. Lotty put her head through the kitchen door, looking ft little scared. ‘ Where’s Mrs. Binnlmtorf” “Shore, and thin she a hoi come yeti” “VToll, where’s the telcgramf Why don’t yon give ine .the dispatch?" • Indade. there’s nary dispatch at all,’* Ho was losing hi* temper.

Ho walked the floor with Ms teeth set, os though to keep too phantoms of hta imagination bock. miring tho bush lilacs. that hung drowsy in their own perfume In great masse* round the porch, and she came and put her bright face through them to see who it was. She lit tbe scene In an Instant. After nil, flowers and sunshine Itself were only frames for that sweet fhce. I remember the shade of disappointment that crossed it. She thought Binnlnger had come. Such women pierce every man with tiny darts made of Ms own unworthiness. But tho aerolite? Yes. Well, listen. Do you recall the 29th of May, 188—? Let me remind you of two things that oc curred In New York. In the first place, we had one of those unseasonable hot spells that sometimes visit us for two or three days in tho spring. People tell down in tho streets, struck by the sun as with a bludgeon. Then there wns a kind of 1'. .iplcnt riot np town, caused by a strike of railroadmen. It was a Friday morning. The shadows of the lilacs were dancing across the wMte cloth on tho breakfast table in Binnin- gcr’s cottage. A* bobolink was pouring out a bravura air exnltingly on the rail of the porch. Yon could hear the stroke of a steamer’s paddles on tho river below. Every!Mng at this early hour was dewy and coot And musical. Binnlnger sot there at the table, drink ing M3 coffee and trying to look at the •.morning paper at tho srnno time. Lon sat opposite him at the same table, dreamily watching him. In a high chair, rather prematurely, was the curly headed Binnlnger, trying to Mt the dancing shadows with a spoon. “Jack,” said Mrs. Binnlnger, with a pause. And Jack threw down the paper, and with Ms coffee cup in Ms hand re garded her with concentrated admiration and tenderness. “I’m going to toe city to-day.” “Ha, hal” he cried. “’Ponmy word, I believe yon are afraid to tell me what yon want.” “No, no,” she replied qnickly, “I don’t want anything; It’s not that.” “Isn’t it?” “No, no. I must go down to the dress maker’s, and I’ve some shopping to do. But I can’t wait nnd come back with yon. I must hurry home by 2 o’clock. You’ll not mind, will you?” “Yes, I shall mind,” he said. “Toknow you are coming, and into that dingy old office at 4 o’clock, makes the whole day light. Must you go?” “I really must. I wont my dress for Sunday, and there’s a lot of other things. And so the long night passed with no wife, and only the scb3 of the child, wak ing at intervals and calling for “Mu." As soon as it was light Lotty went over nnd brought Mrs. Chamberlain, a neigh bor. She looked at Binninger with con cern. His whole face had changed She tried to cliccr him with a woman’s finesse and dnplicity. “Wha’t a boy you are," she said; “Lou has been detained by somebody, and she has neglected to wire yon because she ex pected to come back. Yon are borrowing' trouble. It’s annoying, but certainly not serious.
