More Light Needed.
The darkness on 1 ho streets of
Harlem last Sunday night was
something akin to the Egyptian
type and was just ground for the
remark of a gentleman not famil¬
iar with our thoroughfares, when
he said that “light would make a
favorable impression upon
the mind of a bewildered strang
or *”
Gentlemen of the Town Council
and fellow-citizens: This Is a mat¬
ter tl)»t needs attention, and busi¬
ness like attention. Think of It!
Not a light in front of either one
of the churches last Hunday night,
and none ou the streets anywhere,
exceptone kept up by a merchant
on Louisville street.
Isn’t It high time that Harlem
should be lifted out of this state of
darkness ?
Timely Topics.
BY K. C, L.
It is well and wise for every eot
ton grower in the south to he a
member of the Cotton Grower’s
Association. Now the opportunity
presents itself and now is the time
to join and be benefited and bene¬
fit; don’t delay, join hearts, hands,
purposes and finances and be a
I>ower. You can control the prices
of cotton by this and by co-opera¬
tion. In unity there Is great
strength and power. The farmer
is the wealth, strength and power
of this country, if organized and
he can name the price of corn, cot¬
ton, oats and every home pro?, net
by proper government and wise
management. Tim meat market,
tlie steel, coal and iron market, tho
furniture factories, tea, coffee and
riee, oils and railroads are emit rul¬
ed by tiles** organizations aud get
their prices aiwTprotlts. Why not
the farmer ? He can and must if
he gets justice. The organization
is now started and its power has
already, been felt in New York
and In Europe, and if properly alli¬
ed great and wonderful re¬
sults will lie achieved. The Presi¬
dent of this association is lighting
manfully for higher prices of cot¬
ton aud if aided h.v every cotton
growing county lie will meet with
grand success. Wall street is
frightened and the cotton factories
or New England are anxious. Tho
Cotton Grower’s Convention is a
live, Important factor and In it lies
the solution of prices that bring
wealth or poverty to the south.—
Join tiie Association, join it now,
and battle for your rights.
The sound of hammer and saw, .
the whistle of engine of theglnery,
saw and planes, the call for car|s>n
ters and laborers are signs of
thrift and prosperity, such Is now
the occurence in Harlem. AVe are
cnee more alive, New folks, new
hank, new brick building, nil ate
here iDw* fiVovlng In and every
house in town is rented. More
families want to come ami must he
provided for. Just think of our
great nml pleasant advantages,
line schools, healthy town, no
malaria, no mosquitoes, no bilious
nor typhus fever. A line climate
for consumption, water suitable for
bladder and kidney trouble, with
two competent physicians; tlie
best of village churches, railroad, (
telegraph and telephone service, |
all in Harlem. Ono of the most 1
beautiful Southern little towns, j
Why live in a city, when you can
almost inherit health and home
free from obnoxious, poisonous
gases ami impure water. The cli
mate, water and naturaladvantag-1
es paints the- roses of health and j
beauty on the cheeks of the ladles |
and puts vlui and energy In man. I
If these tilings are true, why not
live in a healthy town, why live In
a city, crowded, half fed in Un¬
healthy places, drinking impure
water, inhaling noxious gases,
lighting poverty, mosquitoes aud
diseas* . Health is wealth and lo
have It wc must s>s<k the climate,
the wafer and atmosphere above
the malarial and* miasmatic .atti

and the glorious sun is kissing the
buttercups and violets and little
children are playing and chasing
tho butterfly, Don’t you doubt
this, its true. Come here and live,
live long and las happy.
The voters and citizens of Colum¬
bia county will soon begin to agi¬
tate the important question as to
who will and must be our ne^t
Representative in the Georgia leg¬
islature. Look well and wisely.—
Don’t let prejudice govern your
views and votes. We want a man¬
ly man, edueatcd, fearless, brainy
ani with character. Vote fora
man who favors the child labor
bill. Hupport a man who Is against
whisky. Advocate the election of
a man who is against corporations
and trusts. We want the election
of a man who will vote for the
election of Railroad Commission¬
ers by tho |>eople. We want a rep¬
resentative who will do his duty,
able and willing to stand for jus¬
tice for ail and privileges to none,
lawk around and get a man of
kind and we all will be proud of
him. It Is wisdom to act slow and
with prudence and consideration.
The Farmer as a Speculator.
The following editorial from the
Albany Herald is worthy of serious
consideration:
“Report camel from North Geor¬
gia that a number of farmers of that
section have become so saturated
with the craze for speculation that
discretion has been entirely thrust
aside to make way for the complete
gratification of this consuming
mania.
II is staled hi a dispatch from
llarnesvi le that in that sect ion many
farmers have soitl or hypothecated
their spot cotton. Investing the pro¬
ceeds in futures. While a few have
made money, scores of others have
been less fortunate. In the space of
a few weeks their savings have been
swept away, aud they must begin
afresli the struggle in which they
were once conquerors. It is stated
that some farmers have even sold
their farms aud moved to the cities,
so as to be able to keep in touch with
tile market.
Speculation is tin ignis fatties
which usually makes short work ol
tile unwary and the inexperienced.
Futures In cotton, grain, meat and
various othcrenuunoditieshave their
important functions in the business
world, and may lie even considered
imlispensilile; hut that they will
prove the ruin of (lie novice has been
demons!ruled too often lobe serious¬
ly argued.
Ami of ail persons whom the spec¬
ulative mania might tie. expected to
affect, tin; farmer ought to lie the
least susceptible. His training and
experience have been close to Un¬
practical side of life, and speculation
ought to appeal to hint less than to
the follower of any oilier vocation.
He is (lie most independent citizen
of the commonwealth. He lias less
to fear in times of panic and filial
ciai depression than ihe merchant,
the hanker or manufacturer, and is
the first to profit by the. return of
prosperous conditions. His presence
in the world of speculation is desira¬
ble neither for liis own sake nor foi
the sake of that inisterious creature,
'the market,’and it is to the inter¬
est of all concerned Ilia! he he oon
lent l i mi his tarn wh.le others
feed the bulls and the bears,’’
