THE GREAT FLOOD.


Never before in the history of
this country have the foods SO
thoroughly and completely delug-
ed the lands in the West 1t
would not be going too far to say
that millions of dollars worth of
property has been destroyed, to
say nothing of the hundreds of
lives lost. The Ohio river swept
through the cities and towns along
its banks carrying off thousands
of houses upon its foaming bosom,
leaving nothing in its wake but
desolation and ruin. The suffer-
ing from cold and hunger and
fright that must have ensued as
consequence of this vast overflow
of water has been simply appall-
ing. Thousands of people, but
short time ago in comfortable
circumstances, have been made
penniless and homeless by this
mighty and sudden stretch of wa
ters. But while the food of waters
along the Ohio has been for sever
al days receding, thus mitigating
in some degree the sufferings of
the people in that region and MAX
ing their opportunities for succor
more probable, the wall of anguish
is only being tranferred from one
section to another. The latest
dispatches indicate that the Mis-
sissippi is breaking over its banks,
spreading its waters for miles in
every direction, and we, may soon
expect to hear OF repeated lamen-
tations from that quarter, The
people along the Mississippi valley
certainly deserve great sympathy,
but this without more substantial
tokens of relief will avail but lit
tie. But one year ago they were
subjected to similar fate, and,
now, to have it repeated so soon
viii make it doubly severe. We
can only commend them to the
mercies of a tender Providence
and leave them to suffer as best
they may.

What the Physician Should BE
He should be man of honor, a
man Of sympathy, kindness and scIf re-
spect, man of virtue, gentleman.
What man of honor or refinement of
feeling, would want the hands of a
libertine, or the eyes of roue rest up
on his wife, or would call him to stand
by the bedside waiting the hour and
agony so f Il Of suspense to those so
soon to be parents! Next to the the
husband, the father, in times of sick
hess and distress is the family physi-
cian. The priest may be impure, the
undertaken may be baptized in impuri-
ty of life, but let the family physician
who is between life and death as stood
the angel with one foot on the sea and
the other on lan1 never be other than
a pure minded man; gentlemen of
answering honor; of regard for his
virtue and that of others. To God and
to him whose skill brings him to the
bedside, how often is the life, the sa-
eredness Of the dearest Of all the pri-
yes of earth coRtided. And think YOU
that other than gentleman of honor,
man of virtue,a gen4leman-one
who could be pure III thoaght, should
be allowed to stand, to be, to touch, to

submit to the same privatious that
a Kentucky mule drover is called
upon to undergo they need not
fear as to results. The mule ira
der not only supplies himself with
all the information he can get be-
fore shipping, but when his stock
has been loaded on board the cars
he mounts the train, himself, and
goes with, them and looks after
them, and when they reach their
destination he is there to see that
they are properly taken off and
properly cared for. Now, we don't
doubt, that if our watermelon men
will adopt the same course of bus
mess sagacity they viii succeed
quite as well, or better, than, the
mule men, for, certainly, the pro-
tit IN melons, according to the
capital invested, Will far exceed
that derived from the trade in
horses and mules. There is no
line of business but what has its
mconveniences and hardships, and
the man who goes into the melon
business may likewise expect to
encounter difficulties and priya-
tions; but it is our candid Judge
ment, after having studied the
question very closely, that there is,
now, no undertaking that promises
such rich results to the southern
farmer as the melon business and
truck farming. The JOURNAL is
pledged to every interest that prom
ises to advance the prosperity
and fortunes of the farmer, and
whatsoever we can do to furnish
information upon this subject
from time to time, will cheerfully
be done. Command us; we are at
the service of those who honestly
seek knowledge.

An Interesting Letter From
De. l. ID. Graves.

EDITORS DAWSON JoURNAL:-It is
with some difficulty that L give
you a promised article ON struck
farming" Having met with but
little success i'll previous attempts
at melon culture, and with no ex-
perience in market gardening I
can only give to those of your
readers who are Interested in the
new departure the facts and
figures that influence me- notwith
standing former failures, to again
make the venture. | have for
several years known of the large
profits realized by truck farmers
in some of the lower counties.
Last year a reporter for the At
lanta Constitution interviewed Mr..
Geo. r. McRee, of Valdosta, and
here are some figures on his crop.
From 100 acres In melons he gets
60 car loads that net $4,000 per
car load net on melons 50, 100000;
q acres in cabbages, net profits
$400. 90 per acre-$1000.00; 81
acres in cucumbers, net profit per
acre $300.00-$1, ,050.00; 5 acres in
Irish potatoes, net profits $4,000
per acre $4,000 While it is
true that these men can get their
vegetables into market few days
earlier than we can, yet | believe
these figures can be approximated
by any one here who will proper
ly fertilize his lands and give the
crops the close attention they re-
quire. From all [ can learn there
is no crop that promises 80 sure
(if not SO large a return as Irish
potatoes. The southern crop is
ready for market in the early sum
mer, after the northern crop is
exhausted, and is said to meet with
ready sale; and with proper ma
nure and culture the yield is GER
tain and large. In a garden in
Middle Ga, there was planted
last year one-tenth of all acre in
Irish potatoes for family use; af-
ter supplying a large family by
grabbing, they were dug about
the middle Of July there being
more than the family could use
and two barrels, about one-fourth of
amount dug, were sent to Atlanta
and netted $500 per barrel If
the two barrels had been all the
marketable potatoes from the one
tenth ofone acre, ,and they we're only
small part, the acre would have
yielded $4,000. Here, if planted
in February, potatoes could be
gathered early in June and the
land put III cotton, and would
with the high manuring alreadyre-
ceived, give a large yield. One
great difficulty has been getting
reliable dealers in northern cities.
We must know where to ship and to
whom, by forming local associa-
ton and putting ourselves in com
munication with the truck farmers
association already formed. We
can get this information. Mr..
Trapp, whose article appeared in
The Dawson journal., 1883-03-01

your issue of two weeks ago, pro-
proses this spring to visit all the
important cities of the north; will
find out reliable dealers an make
special terms for handling our
products; is willing to give US any
Information he may gather. I ex-
pect to be IN communication with
Mr.. T. and will take pleasure in
giving to all interested all that /
may learn. Can we not form a
county association?
Very Respectfully,

MELONS

For the information Of those of our
readers who have decided to engage in
watermelon culture we deem it a duty
to publish every item Of news that we
can get upon this subject, and while it
is quite likely that none i'll this imms-
diate vicinity will ship to Boston, via
Savannah, yet it is we'll enough tor
them to be thoroughly informed in all
the departments of this interesting
subject. We, therefore, cnpy from
the Q litman Free Press a letter of
some interest from Bos on firm in re-
gard to the shipping of melons:
BosTaN, MASS, Feb. IL, 1883.
M H. p. Perham, Quitman, Ga
DEAR SIR-In regard to watermel-
ons, will say that we see no reason
why our facil ties for handling them the
coming summer Will not be frlly equal
or superior, t. any of the Atlantic
cities The steamers now running be-
tween Savannah and Boston are those
that last Summer run between New
York and Savannah the '' ate City"
and "City of Columbus" They are
certainly fine boats, and make the trip
in less than three days. They have
plenty Of room between decks for mel
ons, which is ventilated with port holes
and mot near the boilers. The compa-
ny has also built new and cemmodi-
oss warehouse for unloading freight
into It is quite an Improvement on
improvement on the unloading last
summer, and the shrinkage outside of
rot ooght to be very light Your far.
mers ought to be very careful and not
load any melons that are even a little
soft or bruised or too ripe. If picked
a little green they will sell equally as
well and not shrink so much. You
should always ship in ventilated cars if
possible, as they do not get heated up
so bad as in tight cars, and will, if
kept cooi, stSnd up much longer after
arriving here. You must know that
Boston does not use all the MELONS
sent here. We have a large trade on
them from all manufacturing cities Of
New England, and melons must be
pretty hard when picked to stand up
till they reach the interior cities and
towns. Is would be- we'll for YOU to
notify the steamer eas or two days IN
advance how many cars you intend to
ship, then they will leave suitable room
for them. The agent Of the stesmers
here saws be has nothing to do with
making rates at Savannah, and we
thissk you had bettlr see the agents and
see if you cannot get lower rate.
Shipments should not be made to reach
our market much earlier than July lst.
The best demaSd is from July 10 to
the end OF the season. The lasO Ship
ments we had last year brought the
best prices Of the season. They came
from Augusta, and arrived long after
you were through shipping. We don't
know of anything more we can say
that will be of any benefit to you or
us. Yours respectfully,

THE CASH SYSTEM.

IHE CASH SYSTEM.
We have had occasion very
many times since we assumed edi-
torial control of the Journal to
advert to the ruinous effects of the
credit system; and, now, it affords
us real pleasure to know that our
efforts in this direction have not
been altogether in vain. There
are evidences upon every side and
upon every hand of determine
ton upon the part OF the farmers
to 'pay as they go" Not only is
the desire to establish a cash 81
tenn manifest upon the part of
consumers, who have been com
PEELED In the years gone by to
follow the reverse system, but, as
well, the vender seems more anx-
lous to adhere to this policy. The
change of sentiment upon this
subject of buying goods on time
has been quite marvellous within
the past few months, and we are
led to hope that in the near future
the cash system will be the rule
rather than the exception, Our
farmers, especially, are beginning
to learn that the creditsystem will
not do. Indeed, it requires. but
little thought for man who fol-
lows this system to see that his
earnings all go in the way of pay
ing heavy sums of interest on a
small borrowed capital, and to fol-
low it further means perpetual
slavery and bondage to debt. While
it is true that merchants have
been compelled in the years past
to charge very heavy rates of in
terest for goods sold on credit, it
is also true that very few of them
have made money by it. Their
failures to collect in many in
stances have taken away their
profits, and the result is the farm
er and merchant alike have both
been kept poor, with now and
then an exception in favor Of the
merchant. The rule has been
with the merchant in selling his
merchandise on time to charge a
rate per cent. sufficient to cover
his losses on irresponsible parties; !;
thus it will be seen that good and
reliable men have been made to
share the debts and contra cts of
their less worthy neighbors. Men
who think at all, can see this very
clearly, hence the determination
upon the part of many to abandon
the credit system altogether, and
pay the cash for every articl3 they
buy. In this view of the case we
commend every man who has hon
estly resolved to abandon system
which has naught but bondage
aud slavery to recommend it. It
were better that man sell the
last lnIEle on his farm and upply
the place with an om rather than
cling to system which promises
nothing but beggary and want. Il
seems to us with the present large
supply of corn and meat in the
country there is very little excuse
| for any man to continue to buy
| goods on time, ,and as for the luxu-
rios of life he had better do with
out them than 10 buy them on
credit. The truth is q merchant
can scarcely afford to sell goods
on time 20 a man who would want
to buy them after such a propitious
year as the last has been.
