Provisions High.

It is to be regretted in year of such
general scarcity Of crops in tho South,
that corn, flour and bacon, the staff of life
for man and beast, should command higher
prices than over before known in tho West,
with an advancing tendency. 1t is SO, nov
erthclcss, and We can find only oontentment
in the belief that through tho resulting
suffering our people may learn wisdom. Il
is an i'll wind that blows good to no one,
and truly would it bo 80 now if our people
fail to zee in their present strait the press
ing Importance of striving hereafter to
depend moro on homo farming for these
indispensable articles. Corn in quantities
is selling OF one dollar per bushc cash
here, flour seven to ten dollars per barrel
and bacon from twelve to fifteen cents per
pound. Wo doubt if it would not be
a Godscnl to our people should these arti-
ces hold at these figures for sevcra, years.
The high price of cotton some years back
and the low price Of corn, -four and meat
turned tho attention of our people to plant
ing cotton to the exclusion of tho grains.
Many actually believe now aud openly con-
tend that we cannot prufitably grow these
articles of primo necessity except on low
lands. Even these arc badly prepared aud
worse cultivated by many, holding the profit
poor compensation for tho labor. This is
all on error. The seasons have not changed
on the average yoar, and when necessity
60 requires, corn and wheat, with roughness
and stock, will again abound. Necessity
can only drive people to try diversified
farming, and if the present stringency in
brcadstufs eGeot this, it will, in tho cnd,
work US moro good than harm.

Fort Madison Items.

All tho building lots Of the original survey
Of Fort Madison have been sold and some of
them have doubled in value within thirty
days. Eight houses are now in course Of
construction aud tho demand for lots is 80
great that on addition Of ten acres will be
added to tho original area Of the town.
A committee has been appointed to lay
out and build q school llouso, which will bo
done Mt once. The house will be model
one and tho best in the county.
Capt. Grecno's great mill approaches COM
plction. This will be the largest mill be-
tween Richmond and Atlanta, and will run
SO inch, n 60 inch and a 70 inch saw
and will include much moro machinery
for the purpose Of making barrol heading,
box stuff, shuttles sp,ois and bobbins, plow
beams and handles, shingles. ceiling, &c.
Tho Tugaloo River was never known to
bo so low. Tho corn along tho river bottom
is good. but all other crops in this vicinity
are ruined by the drought as elsewhere.
The Richmond and Danvillo Road are putt

Hope for the Blue Ridge.

Like clap Of thunder from clear sky
Col J. W. Fry, Superintendent Of the
Columbia 4 Groenvls Railroad, aocompa. .
MED by Col. Dunn, Chief Engineer of tho
Clyde Company with assistants, came to
Walhalla last Monday at Z O'clock A. NJ.
by special train. They set to work that day TO
surveying the old route Of tho Blue Ridge
Railroad Company aud tho survey is now
boiug made with view Of completing tho
road, if 10 their estimate the cost be not too
gront. We understand from good author
ity that the company actually intend to
build tho road IL the cost be reasonable,
and this, too; would be our natural couolu
sion, gathered from tile sound Judgment and
business energy ever displayed by this great
corporation. They came with no sounding
Of trdmpets or cymbals, but Quietly, and
without loafng or casing to any one, set to
work. This looks like business aud is 80
different from oil previous efforts that we
take heart from this fact. If completed
this road will be q grand thoroughfaro and
will help no little to develop rich aootion
Of country and eulargo activity throughout
this State. 1t is matter beyond local
benefit, as such trunk limo to tho coast
ends no parallel in tho South in point Of
shortness. length and the undevolopcd rich
ness of the country it travcrses. by get-
ting the Charleston road, or what ia better,
by building ashort limo from Ninety Six to
Port Royal aud Charleston, the road will
pay better and better for century to come
We hopo tho survey will prove satisfactory
as to cost and that what is now speculation
will shortly become actual reality, aud this
much talked of line DO built. We will
give any Information we obtain hereafter,
as no ono Of us hos been able to see aud
converse with the authorities on the ipten-
ton of the present movement

Hard Times.

Many believe there will be greater suffer-
ing for provisions in this State next year than
in 1916. The drought has been 80 general
tho price will bo high notwithstanding our
railroad connections, and in this State very
little acreage has been given to tho cereals
and the yield per acre is small. The crops
of corn and cotton, wc bcliove. will be found
to be less than has been anticipated TAXI
ing them OF half crop and the fact that tho
supply on hand must be limited, oil may
expect hard times.
The prco Of corn ranged in New York.
Cincinnati, Louisville and ST. Louis on tho
9th of August between G8 and II cents per
bushcl, These are figures nj which it has
been generally shipped here by rail and
they indicate scarcely.
Tho following letter from Senator Brown
to tho Atlanta Constitution will bo found in
teresting in this connection and should stim
ulate every man to husband his resources and
turn everything to account:
CALHOUN, CA, August 27.-Editors Con-
stitutioa: The crops in all this section arc
cut very short by the drouth. have lately
been to Arkansas, and they arc tho shortest
/ have ever seen all the way. The fall crops,
such rs potatoes and turnipp, promise vory
little. My opinion is that tho prospects for
provisions for man and beast for tho coming
year are less promising than any have ovor
scon. In this emergency our peoplo should
bo extremely careful to save everything that
will sustain life. There is now very large
quantity Of corn in tho State that has no
ear. The tasscl is dead or dyir ). and no
amount of rain could cause it to mako corn.
Much Of the fodder Is still green md tho
stalk is green. All each corn should bo cut
down Immediately just below tho green
blades and dafter lying in the sun q day or two
| it should he carefully shocked and stalks
tied tightly around tho tops Of the
shocks. AS soon as tho stalks aro dry in the
shock it should be put under eheltor. In
this way avast quantity Of good food fol
stock, which is now wasting, could bo saved
1t will be greatly needed next winter. No
stalks should be cut that aro not yet in tassol
a, in the casc Of good rains, they might make
corn. When it docs rain people should SOW
,heavily Of winter varieties of turnips. ii
