mi article from a Milled eville
correspondent to the Augusta
Chronicle which piesentsa graphic
picture as to the real cause of the
vmburassments that now environ
the faftner. It is timely and sug
gests some solid tacts.
Gainesville Eagle; Maj. .1 F.
.Jones, of Troup county, has sent
to the agricultural department a*
Atlanta a stalk of cotton rai-ed
from his improved seed, contain
ing 230 bolls, the seed cotton in
which it is estimated will weigh
tour pounds. This is the kind of
seed to plant.
Mr. Geo, T. Jackson has been
pardoned by Guv. Gordon. If
this is the order of the day, then'
are many poor, unfortunate char
acters in the penitentiary who are
as much the objects of meiey as
Mr. Jackson. Will they get it ?
In our judgment the higher the
position the greater the crime
Senators ami Representatives
enjoy a leave of absence, which
is asked for frequently, especially
as the tree piss is thrown in. The
people, however, would I ke a lit
tle shorter term and more work
it it will r duce tax to any extent.
If not they can continue the .nisi
neas of riding all the year and
there will lie no growling.
Cluvertus. who is under sentence
of death in Richmond, Va.. for
the murder of Mis* Lillian Madi
son, has tufide a statement ac-
counting for himself on the night
she was killed. In it he makes no
mention of the unfortunate wo-?
man, mid it is quite probable that
bis statement will have very little
weight with Gov. Lee, at win <•
hands he is seeking executive
clemency.
Puck: Delinquent Subscriber
(to country editor; —Why is your
paper referred to as a “patent in
side ?”
Editor (gloomily)—lt does I
refer to the paper; it refers to me.
Delinquent Subscriber—You ?
Editor—Ye*. If I hado t a
patent inside I’d starve Io death
We h< ar ily agree with the
Sparta Ishm.ielitc in the foil ,umg
sensible expression ; Inasmuch as
investigation is the order of the j
dav in the Legislature, let the
louv'ct lease system be made to i
show its hand-. Meantime, let
those who arc bent on abolishing
the system have a clean-handed
substitute ready to take its place
win ii destroyed. There will be
Im few nioiir ers at its grave,
even among those who 'lo not take
>i putcly sentimental view of the
question.
A HOPEFUL SIGN-
Some of our farmers lire dispos
ed to take a hopeful view of the
departure of cully to enjoy city
life. They propose to supply his
place, as far as possible, by white
labor, mid where this cannot be
done, to take hold ot the plow
themselves. The thought of such
action upon the part of our people
really makes us feel that n bright- i
<-r day liutinciiilly is soon to open
upon us. (iod speed the day
when the farmers of this county
will apply the lessons of the past
and measure up by one solid,
milted effort to the requirements
of the present in placing them
selves upon a solid basis.
INTENSIVE FARMING
The following editorial from the j
Gainesville Eagle is worthy a pc
rusal by our farmers. It they
will put it into pra. lice, we verily
believe a brighte. era will sooi.
dawn upon them :
“What is called intensive tann
ing mid the use of improved seed,
is becoming more common every
year. A few enterprising farmers,
such ns Maj. J. F. .Jones, ot
Troup ; Capt. J. C. Simmons, of
Hancock, mid others, have fully
demonstrated that it is the proper
wav. These gentlemen will only
use seed that are selected with
earc and brought up to the highest
standard of excellence, and only
plant ns much hind as they
can manure freely and work
thoroughly. The consequence
is. they make from one to
two bales of cotton to the acre,
a d corn and other produce in
proportion, on land that under
the old system yielded only one
bale to from three to live acres.—
When this method is generally
adopted by our farmers, they can
afford to make cotton at a low
price. It costs about as much to
cultivate a poor acre as a rich
one ; then why not spend the'extra
money it costs to cultivate four or
five acres to get one bale of cotton
tor good seed and fertilizers for
one acre and get two bales from
it? A farmer had better pay two
or three dollars a bushel tor pure
improved seed than to plant seed
that have been allowed to run out,
if he had them given to him. Sinh
seed si ould only be used for mak
ing comp >st. Plant good sevaKf
you have to buy them <-v< ry yuar
or two; then put in only as much
as you can work thoroughly and
fertilize heavily. This intensive
system will have to be adopted
soonei or later, then why not go
at u at once?’’

A BACKING MPLS.
Sharon correspondent Crawford
rille Democrat: One of our horse
jockeys is somewhat used up, having
trade I for a mule and desiring to as
certain Lis saddle qualities mounted
Lii» and on Ins route I.tl occasion to
pass a house wit. re the mule was ac
customed to stop. He says the mule ;
became obstinate and instead of going
f a ward commenced to back ami did
n it stop until he bad pushed off the

i tch backwards. We think liecould
have told more but did not wish to
injure the mule's tril ling qualities.
A GOOD HOG RAISER.
Sparta Ishmaelite: Jake M. Stanley
killed six hogs, last week, that netted
him 1,457 pounds. Jake knows how
to larm, and be puts his knowledge
to good use.
A SENSIBLE NEGRO.
Frank Barnett, who recently pur
chased the property of Mr. S. Bern
stein, nt Powell’s mills,Greene county
was a slave of J >r. I’oullain before the
war, and was freed by the result of
that struggle. Having kept clear
from politics and attended to himself
and his busii tss, with singular indus
try ami good management he accu
mulated some SB,OOO in cash and real
estate.
A CORN CRIB BURNED.
From the Augusta Chronicle we
learn that Mr. Joseph Appling, of
Crawford, Go. had the misfortune to
lose Lis corn crib by tire Friday night
last. Mr. Appling was from home
and his family did not know anything
of the loss until yesterday morning as
the crib was some distance from the
dwelling. It is supposed to be the
work of an incendiary. The grass
caught on tire and would have burn
ed a negro church if some one had
not put it out. Who it was that
stopped the fire can’t be found out
There was about GO bushels of corn
burned.

A FEW MORE JUST IN HIS FIX.
Mr. N. N. Edge, editor of the
Hampton Enterprise, says "I dislike
io see editors asking for money
through their paper, but I am owing
office rent ami for paper, and I must
bale Mme money or suspend. I want
but a small amount, and must Lave

to humiliate myself in writing this
unpleasant local. If any of you knew
how I dislike to be dunned you would

CHURCH BURNED.
Warrenton Clipper: The Codyville
colored Baptist church, situated about
four and one half miles from town,
w as destroyed by fire on last Saturday
night. The buildiug is supposed to
Lave been set on tire, and suspicion
rested on Ben Pinson, against whom
a warrant was issued. He was arrest
ed by Deputy Sheriff Norris and gave
bond for appearance before the Su
perior court. Pinson was until re
cently a deacon of the church burned,
but a few days before the burning,
was tried for some offence ami ex
communicated. It is said that be
threatened during the progress of bis
trial to have the church burned if he
was turned out. Great excitement
prevails among the. colored people
with reference to the matter.
HARTWELL DOTS.
Hartwell Sun: D. B. Alford, of Oak
Bower brought a very curious bird to
town on Wednesday. He disabled
one of its wings by a shot without
hurting it much. It measured six
feet from tip to tip of wings, has a
head as large as the largest house cat,
and a thick coat of white feathers
with small dark spots. It is not at
all vicious but will allow a person to
stroke its head, and appears to enjoy
it. Has large yellow eyes, and an ap
petite for small birds. Its legs and
feet are thickly coated with feathers.
Altogether it is the prettiest bird ue
have seen. Now let some uatura i t
up unil tell us what it is. Some tuiuk
it is a snow owl. It is a stranger m
