Damaged Corn.

II 10 generally known and admitted that
Southern corn is worth moro than Western
and Northern corn and generally commands
better price in the market but it is not
known that much Of the Western corn this
year is damaged. We suppose the same
kind Of corn 10 sold hcre as in Atlanta, and
upon the subject Of damaged corn the At
hnta Constitution has the following:
DAMAGED CORN.
"Why don't the newspapers let the far
mers know that great deal Of damaged corn
is being sent into Georgia from tho West2"
said merchant yesterday, banding handful
of the damaged cereal to representative of
the Constitution.
"Simply because they don't Xnow it to be
fact" was replied.
"Well. it is true" said the merchant II
don't care to have my name published as Civ
ing the information, but if you will investi-
gate the matter you will find that fully one
fourth of the corn coming in from the West
is damaged, moro or loss. Look at this corn
You see the kernel is black; that corn will
kill or seriously injure any kind of stock,
except hogs, that it is fed to regularly"
"Well, the farmers wont buy it,"
"There you are mistaken. Some of the
farmers in our State are buying this very
kind Of corn to day and are giving mort
cages on their crop to pay for it in November
at. the rate Of one dollar and fifty cents per
bushel. A man who will sell corn at such a
heavy per cent. will buy the cheapest corn
he can get, because no one but man ia q
desperate strait will give such ruinous rate
and they pile it on him. There seems to be
disposition on the part of many Of our fara
mers to pay any kind Of price for anything

clock peddlers who made nineteen thousand

IN letter to the board Of trustees he
writes as follows: 1.-The general object which

reason agree that there is no further use for
the fund in tho form in which it is now
instituted, ho authorizes them to apply tho
capital to establishments subsidiary to exist

Under the present institution Of the fund
he specially wishes that neither principle nor

These fellows gathered together in the wee
