An interes ing Problem for Far


Fourteen years ago I bought this
place at $9,500. I had no money
and was allowed five years time in
which to pay for it, agreeing to pay
eight per cent. Interest on the amount
unpaid at the end of each year. For
those five years 1 devoted most of
my attention to raising supplies, on
ly planting thirty acres in cotton.
But on these thirty acres | made
money and paid off my indebted
ness on time. Feeling free from all
moneyed obligations, I decided to
experiment little, and so commenc-
ed each year to increase my cotton
acreage until l got it up to one hun
died and twenty-five acres, when 1
became convinced of the fact that /
was losing money by increasing my
cotton crop. My profits were reduc-
ed IN proportion to the increase every
year and so this year have return
ed to forty-acre cotton patch, and
will make little money, notwith-
standing the disastrous seasons.
Now what | want you tell me is, why
could not make as much clear mon
ey on eighty acres of cotton rs I can
on forty Rome Courier.
The above case is very much SINH
lar to the one related by us last week
in the Journal, and we have no
doubt that it is literally true. I, has
been our position all along, that in
pro portion as farmer increases his
acreage in cotton, after he reaches a
certain point, in the same proportion
will lie his losses. For example: If
a farmer puts two-thirds of his crop
in grain and one third in cotton, he
will make more money than if lie
should reverse those proportions
There is no truth any better e>tab.
lished than this, and we long to see
the day when the whole South will
act upon it as unit. If there is
any one thing that we do desire, il
is the prosperity and success of oul
farmers.

Stock Raising.

Ano WIlsef IVeu III hentucky, q
stock country, for seven years.
While there he had the best of op-
pOrtnnities for observing the meth
DDS, habits and pleasures of stock
raising; ard he can say of truth,
there Is no business carried on in
the South that affords so MANY
pleasures as that of raising stock.
While we are willing to admit that
the facilities for raising stock in
Kentucky are better than they are
here, there is no reason in the world
why our farmers should not make il
success even in Terrell county.
Let us illustrate case Suppose a
farmer runs three plows. Instead OF
keeping three mules, or three hor-
ses, let him buy three good brood
mares. These msres will do all the
work on the farm that three mules
would do, and at the same time
bring the farmer three colts every
year. In three years from the time
the first colts are foaled, be will have
three valuable young horses or mules
to sell and three more every year
thereafter. at 500 apiece they
would bring annually $500. Now,
Mr.. W. w. Lee says, the cost of
raising colt is no more than the
cost of raising calf, which be esti-
mates to be about S15. Here is q
clear profit of $85 on each colt; and
for three it would be S255 Aud,
vet, these colts have been raised
without interfering with the farm
work in the least. Can we longer
doubt that stock raising in Terrell
would prove proftable7 But says
some man, sits a heap of trouble to
raise colts. / don't care to be both
cred with en-" Well, if you ex-
pect to do anything and make
money at it without some trouble
then you are not the man we are
talking to. The people in Kentucky
have trouble. but at the same time
there are very many pleasures con-
uected with the business Of stock
raising that, in large measure
counteract the trouble. 10 raise
stock successfully, as a matter of
course, the farmer must have his bar
ley lot, his rye patches and his oat
pastures, all of which can be arrang-
ed with but little expense and little
trouble. He should also have O. sep
arate lot for his colts with a good
she'd or stables, to protect them from
the severe cold during the winter.
They require nothing Tor feed dur
ing the winter mcnths more than
farmers cattle would require, SUCH
as hay, fodder, shucls etc, and we
are firmly of the opinion that it will
pay to raise this class of stock infin
itely more than to raise cotton.
Now, the question is, will our far.
mers try it. We hope so, for our
whole soul is enlisted in the success
of the farmer. Until he succeeds
every other interest is bound to Ian
gmsh.

AN OVERWHELMING DE-
FEAT.
The Nature of Senator Ma
h0ne's OVerturn Ful-
1y Analyzed.


RICHMOND, Va, November 9.-Ma-
homes defeat is one OF the most
overwhelming known in Virginia pol
itics. and surprises even the most
sanguine of his opponents. His for
mer strongholds have all gone
against him. The election excite
ment was unprecedented, and even
greater than during the uprising
against the carpetbag government in
reconstruction days. The whole
state was literally under arms, and
such was the explosive condition of
affairs that the slightest jar would
have caused a small sized war. In
Danyliie white men seventy years
OF age went to vote with shotguns
on their shoulders. This state of af-
fairs was largely due to the violent
speeches of the Malone leaders, the
whites warning the negroes that they
would be enslaved if Malone was
defeated, and the colcred orators
preaching threats of burning and
sacking houses and numbering wo-
men and children when the whites
had gone to the polls to vote This
coupled with the miseries of negro
domination in Danville, reused the
people in that city to a superhuman
effort, and many of them sent their
wives and daughters to Richmond
and other cities, and moved about as
walking arsenale, ready for the ex-
pected emergency. The incendialy
talk Of the negroes in the Danville
district spread like wildfre and was
taken up by their race iu other black
districts. AT the same time it acted
marvelously in consolidating the
white race all over the state, and
hundreds of whites deserted from
Malone, and in some instances mod
crate negroes voted with the demo-
Gratis, because fearful of the result of
Malone negro rule
The victory is due in a great meas
ure to the management of the demo-
cratic chairman, Congressman James
S. Barbour, and was accomplished in
the face Of the vigorous support of
the combined machinery Of the gov
ernment, heavy assessment upon
all state and government officials
and the earnest cooperation of Pres
ident Arthur. AS the canvass grew,
these calls upon them were increased,
the navy and postal departments
were especially strongly united fer
Malone, but toward the last many OF
the officials began to rebel against
the heavy drafts against them, and
secretly did all in their power to de-
feat him. The democrats have both
branches of the Legislature. Ma
homes greatest losses are in the
white counties which went with lin
on the debt question. The negroes
in some instances express gratifca-
tion at the result and affirm that they
will act with the whites from whom
they get their support and whose in
terests are theirs, but the great body
of the race express their disappoint-
lnent.

OF late years Butler has claimed to
be a democrat, and Malone has made
the same pretense to being a repub-
lican and, yet, we have the singular
spectacle of democrats rejoicing in
tue defeat of Butler and republicans
rejoicing in the defeat of Malone.
Politics present very many singular
paases when analyzed closely.
The Dawson journal., 1883-11-15

: In the late elections, Mass sachu-
settes went republican. Butler was
defeated by 10000 votes. Pensylva-
mia also went republican by 10000 to
$4,000 votes. New Jersey is demo
cratic. The result in Mississippi was
grand, sweeping democratic victory.
In New York the two parties made =
draw fight, parts of each ticket being
elected. This result in New York
was owing to disaffection among Ike
democrats. Ia all other s'ates where
!. elections were held the republicans
carried the aay, except in Virginia,
where the result was simply glorious.
The outlook for the democratic party
in 'S4 is not so cheering, but we think
with good management upon the
part of'onr leaders our chances are
st;ll fair as a party

Bad Management on Farms.

One of the most common mistakes
IN farming is the attempt to cultivate
too much land, Too much work is
laid out and too little done. One
man and one assistant for three or
four months of the year, will under
take to crop eighty acres The
ground is imperfectly prepared and
poorly seeded. The whole work is
rushed. and though the labor is per-
formed late and early, the work is
never overtaken. There is always
more to do than can be done with so
few bands. The result is hard
years work aud no profit, with some
times, the conclusion that "farminq
does not pay.'-,Snmter Republican
Our neighbor's advise, in the main,
is very good. but he discloses the
fact that he is not SO familiar with
the modus operandi of farming after
all. The usualnumber of acres eultiva-
ted to The plow is about forty, and
even this is too much. Thirty acres
thoroughly prepared, by close, deep
blowing, and then well fertilized and
well cultivated, is enough for any
man to attempt to cultivate with one
plow. The Republican, is right,
however, when it says tha, much
work or farms is expended to no
profit.-Sumter Republican.

his vote, to which the negro replied,
the Democrats taking part with him.

TOO shrsvd by Ealt.

Mr.. Dio Bashford cherished high
ideas Of men, as opposed to women,
and had exalted notions of the hus
bands dominion over his own house
hold. He was an erect, fnll-formed
individual, with naughty bearing.
He had habit of carrying his head
high--of scanning the horizon with
his eagle eye-of shifting the air-of
looking over the heads of common
People-of towering above the vulgar
herd.
Mr.. Bashford had forbidden his
wife attending the masquerade ofthe
a. z. A. Society. He had his reasons
for so doing. which were good enough
in themselves; but his wife thought
he might have made known his wishes
in little less imperious manner than
he chose to adopt. However, she said
nothing about it, though her eyes
flashed little as her lord and master
proclaimed his wishes.
The ball was set down for the even
ing of the twenty-Rinth. On the
morning of that day Mr.. Bashford
went down town at the usual hour,
but during the forenoon had occasion
TO visit a section of the city that led
him past his own residence.
He walked on the opposite side of
the street, and did not cross over, as
he was in some haste. But his atten-
tion was suddenly arrested by young
woman with a large bundle ascending
the front steps of his domicil and ring
ing the door-bell. He wondered some
what at this. as he was not aware that
his wife had been purchasing anything
new in the line of dresses lately. His
perplexity increased when the door
was opened cautiously, the young wo-
man admitted promptly, as if by
previous understanding. and the door
instantly closed again.
Here was dilemma. Mr.. Bash
ford's curiosity and susricion were
aroused, andon the other hand his ap-
pointment was rather pressing. Should
he linger and solve the mystery, or
dismiss It from his mind and 90 on
about his business =? He debated the
question irresolutely for a moment,
and finally decided that he must know
what was going on in his own house.
Acting on this determination, he
walked slowly to the next corner, and
chose q position where he could take
observations.
He had not long to wait. The
young woman soon reappeared, but
aCstkOat the bundle, and walked brisk
ly down the street.
He followed her.
Yes. the majestic Mr.. Bashford dog

male 1t was not q long chase. She
