Vile SANDERS.

AS an evidence of how the South
is slandered by certain northern
Journals, we reproduce the following
from an Indiana paper, the Colum-
bus Republican:
"The whole country should throw
up their hats. The world does
move. A Georgia jury has actually
found eight ka-klux guilty of beating
and maltreating negroes. When we
read this and think of the long, dark
list of crimes perpetrated agsinst the
negroes by the white ruffians of the
South, not one of whom has been Ie-
gally punished, it is, indeed, a cause
for rejoicing
There is no state in the Union
where the negro is more sure to re-
ceive fair, even-handed justice than
in Georgia, and the man who ponned
the above ISLANDERS knew them to be
such when they were written. 1t is
such stuff as the above that keeps
alive at the North the bloody shirt
irsue from year to year.

A New Departure in Terrell.

We met Mr.. j. A. Carter, of the
Bird district of our county, on the
streets on last Tuesday and we were
really gratifed with what he said to
us respecting his future plans. Said
Mr.. Carter, II have been reading
your paper npon the subject of inten-
sive and dairy farming until I have
come to the conclusion that you are
right, and 1 am going to try both. !"
Continued Mr. Carter, 81 am thor
oughly satisfied that there is no mon
ey to the farmer in cotton farming"
Mr.. Carter has been running this
year Is plows, and he now proposes
to reduce the number to four, make
his land rich by an intensive system
of fertilizing and devote it in the
main to grain products. In connex-
ion with this be proposes TO have a
dairy farm, from which he expects to
realize handsome profits. Mr.. Car
ter told us in the same conversation
that he had, already, been trying the
dairy business in small way and
that he WAS highly pleased with the
unexpected result. He says from
four cows he has sold S8.25 worth
of butter week, net, besides supply
ing the wants of his family. Mr..
Carter has been one of our largest
cotton planters for years, frequently
making $50 bales of cotton from one
crop. lie has studied this question
closely, and, now, after an experience
OF many years, proposes to abandon
the cotton business and devote his
attention to something that we think
will yield him a handsome dividend
for his labor. This is step forward
in the history of Terrell and we con-
tidently predict satisfactory results.
Are there not others, yet, who will
join the procession in this onward
and upward march of enterprise :?
The Journal is pledged to do every
thing possible to advance the interests
OF the farmers, and we believe that
MIR. Carter will, in the years to come,
prove benefactor to our people by
leading off Ill this new line of indus
try.

PRoHIBITIoN IN GEoRG1A.-While
the advocates of prohibition have
been making remarkable progress in
Georgia, they have wisely refused to
make temperance or prohibition a
political issue either in county or
in the state. They carefully separate
the question from political issues,
and prohibitionists elsewhere should
profit by their example. Holding
that the question is one that ought to
be decided in towns and counties up
on its own merits, they place il be-
fore the people in these sub-divi-
siont of the state for action, and
have not adopted the rule or ruin
policy in politics, that has been cho-
sen elsewhere by persons fanatically
inclined, to the injury of their cause.
