Col. E. B. C. Cash, the notorious Rnel
ist and bboly shirt politician, of Chcraw,
S. C is dead again. It is stated upon
, dead
good authority that he will remain
after this time.
It is more than likelv that cx-Ciovevnor
Bullock will be run for the Vice Presiden
•ey The talk of hi-; running for the Gov¬
.
ernorship is, in our ojrrinion, nothing more
.than an advertisement.
BillNye says : “Well, farmin’ is like
j'tinnin’ a paper in regard to some things.
Every fuller in the world will take
turn in and tell you how to do it, even if
lie don't know a blame thing about it.”
Under the rotation system Crawford
county has the right to put forward the
next democratic candidate from this dis¬
trict for the State Senate. We have no
.doubt hut Houston and Taylor counties
will ratify our choice.
Some of our contemporaries seem to
think hie Journal a very impudent and
presumptuous paper. Probably this is be
■ea s ve da i-ot waste paper in print¬
ing a blanket sheet, and because we
speak fearlessly and independently.
Tiie Farmers’ Alliance may he a good
thing, hut ive know the best alliance the
farmer can have. It is a marriage alliance
with a woman who Is.both industrious aud
economical, and one who will comb him,
down with a chair occasionally when he
fails to attend to his business as he should.
The Fort Talley Enterprise voices
the sentiments of a majority ut the people
when it, says “The people-of Georgia need
more law repealers than they do [needj
law makers in the next general assembly.”
And we want legislators who will use the
time to more advantage than introducing
old bachelor taxation, terrapin taxa¬
tion, etc.
The Black-shear railroad disaster, in
which seventeen people were killed and
-thirty-three wounded, is one of the most
tterri hie acoidents that have ever occurred
in the South- There have never before
ibeen any serious accidents on the old S.
F. & VV. railroad, and after this no one
will know whan ip feel safe whilo riding
Cbt train.
Georgia Farmers have been told 16,000
'times by the newspapers to sow oats, to
raise their own corn and meat ana to raise
their own horses and mules A very few
planters heed this advice and succeed un¬
der tins- system, but the majority of them
continue on in the old way. If agriculture
had kept pace with mechanics during llie
last 100 years one acre would now produce
-as much ns is made oil twenty.
We still predict that cotton seed will
some day be worth more than the lint,
provided the price of lint cotton remains
about the same that it Jis now. The in¬
vention of new and improved machinery
and the new uses and purposes which are
being constantly discovered, together with
the fact that the use of the various prod¬
ucts of the seed are known only n a small
part of the world, are arguments to back
■lip our prediction. *

Tt seems that Senator Brown got things
badly mixed in his speech last week. He
pretended to show that Bessemer steel had
tallen from $138 per ton to $33. At the
time steel was so high the Bessemer pro
.cess was ■unknown. Brown had better da
like most other protectionists, i. e. claim
that high protection is good for the country,
but adduce no arguniei ts to prove it.
T hat comes as near being a way to hold
'heir own as the monopolist party has.
Keel, of motor fame, it is said, is about
to he exposed as one of the most successful:
swindlers of the age. The stoekholders in
the invention have secured an order from
court to allow them to inspect the ma¬
chine, but.Keelv is holding them off tem¬
porarily by telling (hem that be is waiting
"to have some of the parts patented, and
that soon he will put tltc invention before
the public. This is the -same old tale he
has been telling for years, and some of tiic
stockholders, who have furnished a good
deal rif money towards the invention, now
believe that, Keely has nothing like a.
motor, and is just working them for money
and nothing else.

A sucatT time ago our neighbor, the Fort
Valley Mirror, said something about our
town being moved at some day in the fn
ture to the railroad, which is about three
fourths of a mile from tho conit house.
As will bo remembered we called our
neighbur to dew about it, and the expla¬
nation given below shows a good spirit if
it. is-uot very explanatory :
The Journal must not suppose that in
our remark, in refeicnee to Knoxville's re¬
moval to the nilroad, that, ue intended to
speak dispar ginglv of Knoxville, or its
worthy people. We. .only—as a newspa¬
per—gaca currency to a surmise which
oamo from a Crawford county citizen. The
idea was not that Knoxville would pick
itself up bodily, so to speak, and cross
over, hut that, improvements would tend
towards * lie road until the main part of
town would be near the depot.
It is now reported that the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers have ordered a
strike that will embrace the most of the
engineers in the State. It is not known
what truth there may be in the rumor.
Wednesday morning in different parts
of the -State the wind did more or less
damage. At Calhoun, above Atlanta, it
was terrible in it* -force. Almost all the
buildings were blown flown or otherwise
damaged, but little loss of life has been re
pirtcd. At Lumber City two men we:e
killed and property badly injured. Re¬
ports are still coming in from all parts.
This has been a -bad month for railroad
accidents, suicides and storms, not to men¬
tion the mulfijdiejty of mad dogs that have
done damage to person and property in
various places.
Harmony Grove is preparing to issue
bonds to build an $8,000 school house.
A few days ago the foil '', mg notice ap
peared in the local press of Atlanta ; “ La
dies wishing light work which can in done
at homo, <it Inch they ean make from $6
to $12 per week, call at S9 Loyd Street.
Office hours from’8 a. m. (o 5 p. m. ’ • The
advertisement vv it p it in by two men, one
calling himself Hartwell aud the-other
Wil.iams. The notice had the effect of'
bringing quite a number of applicants to
Hartwell aud Williams. T ey were told
thut the work to be done was coloring
photographs. 'Each pupil was charged
$4 for materials furnished, and $1 for the
first lesson. The scholars were promised
50c. per dozen for all photographs colored,
afier they had takefi the lessons When
the first lesson was finished each scholar
was furnished with a lot of photographs
aud told to color them and bring them
hack Thursday morning. Sixty-four girls
each paid the sharpers five dollars. When
they icturned on Thursday they were in¬
formed that Hartwell avid bis partner had
absconded on Tuesday.
