The Auguhta Evening Newt* report* that a few nights ago a colored child waa born in Harrisburg with a full net of upper and lower teeth. Augusta Chronicle: A little gill in Augusta onpressos the wish that some supernatural power would ring the ebeatnut bell on earthquakes. An exchange says: Road (lust is abundant and farmers should seize Upon the opportunity to lay in their supplies of guano for next year. Visitors from tins county to the holiness meeting, held nt Milledge ville, last week report an interesting meeting and an enjoyable time. A young man named Reaves wns killed near Athens recently by the ac cidental discharge of a guu while in company with another party out hunting The Gibson Enterprise says: Choi era having played havoc with hogs in this part of the country as well as elsewhere, the price of bacon will be high for some months to come. Some of the country papers are abandoning the eight page business and resuming the four page size. As ter all, wo ore inclined to think that it is a real common sense idea. The Harmony Grove Signal has folded its wings and expired We presume the editor has reached the conclusion that there is more of the indiapensible in pulling u line over a mule. We hoped to see the Technolo deal School located at Augusta or I‘eu field, but the former evidently did not want it and the latter it seems through its representative gave way to the Gate City. The shock at mmervdle, S. last week was severe, damaging about 2S chimneys. It in also reported that a number of geysers have been dis covered where cily water spouts up continually The water has an odor similar to keroseue oil, and is accom panied by a tine wind of different colors. The following life-like picture is clipped from an exchange: “What in thunder is that child crying for?" asked Fogg. “I don’t know. I’ve given him everything I can think of and still he doesn't atop,” repin’d his wife. “That proves, of course, that he wants something else.” “But I can’t find anything else to give him." “Well, lend him something, then, can't you ?“ Mayor Hillyer, of Atlanta, vetoed the city ordinance passed with a view —amazing to aay I to set aside the prohibition law. The Supreme Court having followed this up by deciding the issue of the quart licenses to lie unlawful, the last liquor house in the city Las cloned its doors, and the great Barleycorn drouth has set in.— May it live forever!- Sparta Ishmae lite. We shake bands with you, Bro. lahmaelite. especially in the senti ment expressed in the last sentence of the above. F Our esteemed neighbor, the Mc- Duffie Journal, furnishes the follow? ing interesting item: Some time ago we gave an account of an acre of corn being cultivated by Rev. ,1. T. Combs, near Wrightsboro, in this county. The patch contained one acre, and the crop has been gath ered by Mr. ("omlia and measured. Several times during the season the patch has been raided by stock and eattle, and some of it destroyed; but notwithstir.nling this loss, which Mr. Combs estimates nt 10 bushels, the crop meaaures 47! bushels on the one acre. If none of the crop hail t een lost or destroyed the yield would have been nt least 85 or 90 bushels Who Loses It I We copy the following editorinl from the Hpnita ishmaelite, wins is of considerable interest, byway of in formation to our farmers. We have often asked the question of farmers as to who loses the bagging and ties on a bale of cotton and the answer has almost invariably been that the buy ier shouldered the lona. Many with whom we have talked seem to like to buy the above named articles, con gratulating themselves that there was mole profit in them than in the fleecy staple. According to the reasoning of tin Islimaclite such is not the case, and we confess an openness to believe there is logic, in the reasoning brought forth. If there is argument on the other side, however, and the facts are not clearly presented by our esteemed contemporary we will be glad to hear it from some of our farmers: Appearances are often deceptive “Seeing is believing,” but it isn’t knowing; for people sometimes are deceived in their most careful percep tions. Mathematicians know that the apparent sign of a fraction is mt al ways its real sign. An apparent gain ! is sometimes a real loss. These truisms naturally opne the way to the question: Do the Cotton i growers really, or only seemingly, get paid for bagging and ties when they put their cotton on the market? At first sight most people will say that the outlay for bagging and tiesis fully reimbursed when the cotton is sold; but it seems to the Islimaclite to be a case in which seeing doesn't imply knowing, and in which a real loss is involved in an apparent sign of i gttin ’ 1 Let us see. '1 he price of cotton m Sparta is directly controlled by the price in Augusta; the Augusta price I is bused upon New York quotations; hind New York quotations are always \ regulated by the market in Livers 001. But in Liverpool cotton-buy ers do m t 'pay for bagging and ties. They are | counted as “tare,” and their weight is deducted from the weight of the b ile, so that the buyer pays only for the net cotton. This being the ease, it isevi dent that the cost of the bugging ami ties is lost s< h.ewheru between Liver ]M>ol mid the place of first purchase. Docs the Sparta buyer lose it ? Not so; for he buys under, the Augusta market. The Augusta speculator is equally safe, for hegetsngood margin on New York quotations. Does the New Yoik buyer ever lose anything but his soul ? Who, then, pockets the loss? And how do the buyers manage to save themselves ? The New York price is fixed low enough to allow ample margin for the loss of bugging and ties in Liverpool; the Augusta price is enough lower than the New York price to cover cost !of handling and transportation; the same observation holds good us to the difference in price here and in Au gusta; and so, tracing back the quota tions from lust to first sale—from Liverpool toSpnrtu it is evident that a margin for the loss of bugging and ties in Liverpool is embodied in the price offered the farmer here. In other words, in the price offered the farmer for his cotton allowance is made for the reduction of the oale to net weight when it readies Liverpool. This being the ease, it inevitably fol lows that the loss of the bagging and ties fulls upon the producer. T here is no logical avoiding this conclusion. ■■■ ■■■■»■! ’■ Adininistrati'ix's Sal?
