The Farmers.

Lie lGTmeT ID uoW HuH"i'1
to buy seed oats, seed barley, seed
wheat and everything else he needs
to put into the ground. This ls a
pretty state of affairs for commu-
nifty that pretends to have farmeralas
the dominant and controlling element
and who pay the taxes and run thiTgs
generally. We have good climate
and soil. Labor is all that is needsd
but it must be wisely directed. The
owner of the land must take char
of it. lie cannot afford to let q -
ant with lean OK take the n
mont Of his affairs. He must Bs%
hand and must have small amouE
of common sense.
Farming is the best and surest cal
ing. The man who follows it is new 4
in danger of starving He can
ways have something to eat..and som4
thing to clothe himself and family
He can have it with light work anti
small expense. A good living iaa
dead sure thing.
But the farmers Of the country will
not write on anything intended for
their good. They will find fault aid
aplit up into adverse factions. without
the slightest excuse. II one has
found out how to save money by a
new way of ploughing he would not
tell another the secret for all the
world. In many other like instances.
they are secretive and do not commu.
nicate to each other matters of the
most vital Importance to the prosper.
ity and success of the occupation.
All other occupations have leagues,
unions and associations but the farm.
ers will have none Of it unless 1t ls a
kind of secret organiz stion like the.
Grange which made more money for
the man who got it up than Tor every
man, woman and child who was sd
mitted to it.
The inspiration of the thing was
wrong. In fact it was an attempt to
kill out the merchants by force and
arms as if they were all a thieving, op-
pressive and uncomfortable set. No
man made anything out Of the Grange
except to get an Insignificant office
and wear brown liner apron at
country barbecue. Of course the
farmers furnished the barbecue and
were a. the expense. The town crowd
and tho boys and girls from the conn-
try had the fun and profit. The farm
err didn't get their goo'isany cheaper
anil went on in the same old way
raising cotton md buying everything
needed.
Things will be 10 better however
until the farmers take things into
their own handa. As long AZ they
come TO town and allow three or four
lawyers to conduct their meetings
they will never be any better than
tn " are now.-AGbcrilc MctliHm.

The New Postal Card, which will
be furnished to all the postofGces in
a few daya, is to be model Of neat
ness in style and quality. Nearly all
the postoffices in the country have
their supply of cards exhausted, and
it will! not be long before the old post.
al card, 30 to speak, will be a dead
letter. The cards should have been
in the hands Of the postmsaters some
time ago, but their appearance has
been delayed by the failure of the
company which h-l the contract for
their manufacture to get them out as
per agreement. The paper in the
new cards is much superior in quality,
texture and finish to that in the old
cards. andin color is light cream. The
design, printed in dark brown, is az
follows: On the upper right hand
corner of the card, in an oval frame,
is the head Of Thomas Jefferson. The
face Of the vignette is three quarters
full, looking to the left, and is sur.
rounded by wreath Of laurel and
oak, tied with ribbon bearing the
words, Zone Cent" and the number
"l." On the left, at the top Of the
card, are the words, United States

States" being in plain white letters
on curved and partly folded scroll
and the words Postal Card" being
in dark, ornamental letters, enclosed
in straight, unshaded lines, with
rosette at each end. Immediately
under the scroll is a small white star
below which is a long tablet contain
ing thirteen stars. Below the whole
design are the words, Nothing but

Prohibition and The Presidency.

CINCINNATI, September IA The
Prohibitionists are making this year
the stronges; canvass that they have
ever managed in Ohio. DR.. Leonard
their candidate for Governor, has ad-
dressed some very large meetings.
The main point Of his speeches is that
prohibition is the foremost issue in
American politics, that it is to destroy
one Of the two great parties by abb
sorbing the best men in both Of them,
and that che consequence will be the
breaking up Of the solid South. This
is in harmony with the private con.
versation of the leading Prohibition.

the South is ripe for just puch amove-
ment, and who have even gone 80 far
as to name Colquitt Of Georgia as
their probable next candidate for

Local option In Georgia.
The Result Achieved by Long Prohi-
biti0n Campaign.

ATLANTA, GA, September 10
The Local Option bill has been pass
ed by the House as it came from the
Senate, and is now law. The bill
provides that upon the application for
prohibition signed by one tenth OF the
voters in any County. the Ordinary
shall hold An election to determine
whether or not apiritnoua liquors
shall be sold in that County. All
persons qualified to vote for menbers
Of the General Assembly are qualified
to vote in this election. The tickets
shall be written For Sale" and
Against Ssle." If the result of the
election should be against The sale
the Ordinary shall give notice once q
week for four weeks and the Act
shall take effect as SOON as the re
suit ia ascertained, Iexcept as to the
vested rights OF persons whose an.
nual license has not expired. If
the result of the election should he
= for sale" no other election on the
question shall be held in that Com ty
within less than two years. When
any County goes "agsinst the sale
no person shall sell or barter, direct.
ly or indirectly, or give away at his
place Of business, or furnish at any
other public place, any alcoholic, spir-
ituous, or malt liquors, or any other
drinks which produce intoxication.
Nothing in the bill is to prevent the
manufacture, sale and use Of domes
tic wines or cider, or the sale OF wines
for sacramantal purposes, provided
they are not sold by bar rooms at re-
tail.
Licensed druggists will not be pre-
vented from selling or furnishingpure
alcohol for medicinal or scientific pur.
poses. No election can be held IN any
place where the sale Of spirituous
liquors is directly prohibited either by
high license, local option, or other
leb bislation, 80 long as these local laws
remain in force. This is the Local
Option bill, which represents the
climax'of long prohibition campaign.
1t is probable that under its provi-
sions nearly 100 elections will be
held in this State between now and
| the end of the year.

THE HALEY AND SMOKY ROAD.
II Can BE Put Through to Willow
Creek for $500.

+. A. White and a TIMES reporter
looked up a new pass for the proposed
HALEY, Gamas Prairie and Smoky
road, yesterday. On their return
from Camas Prairie Mr.. White walked
up the main Camp creek canyon,
turning to the ,igh. when about half
way up, ard then continuing to the
dividing table land between Camas
Prairie and Croy gulch; while he did
so the TINES reporter drove around
by rolmie's and up the grade with a
fast team, occupying one hour and 70
minutes. Both met on the d.
vide. The time occupied ny
Mr.. White in walking through
the canyon and climbing on to the
high divide was only one hour and 10
minutes-thus showing that the new
road, if made through that pass, would
cut off two or three miles on the old
grade.
Mr.. White says that he found a
natural road all the way down; but
some of it Is covered with brush anc
timber that would have to be cut; nc
bridges will oe required, but two Oh
three culverts will have to be thrown
across Camp creek, to prevent wash
ing out. He says the road can be pu
through the pass for $500.
