bookkeeping for Farmers.

Bookkeeping is science as it is ap-
piled in large financial and commercial
institutions, but with most business men
it is Il very simple and Oftentimes imper-
feet system OF accounts. Comparatively
few farmers make any attempt TO keep
systematic farm accounts, and doubtless
not one in thousand can tell even ap-
proximately what their annual income
and outlay are, or what it costs them TO
produce a pound Of cotton, hushel of
corn, or any other article raised on the
farm.
This is not because so few farmers are
competent to keep an intelligent set Of
farm accounts, but because Of negligence
or belief that they do not have time to
devote to their journals ana ledgers.
Heretofore the necessity of keeping any
thing more elaborate than a memorandum
account book has not been felt by many
farmers, and now the older ones are not
generally to be expected TO 90 to book
keeping, and change the habits and ideas
Of lifetime.
II will pay every young farmer. how
ever, TO begin at once TO keep a set OF ac-
counts, more or less elaborate according
to his education, ability and the necessity
OF his operations. OF course the most
important account will be that devoted TO
Resources and Expenses. in which every
item OF income aud cent paid out should
be placed on opposite pages. Then the
cash account should be accurately kept,
and the bookkeeper ought always TO be
certain that he has a little cash on hand.
Individual and family expenses should
be kept separate from farm expenses.
Each crop should have a page devoted to
il; for instanee-cotton, corn, potatoes.
sugar cane, peanuts, ETC., and so Of every
other production-as cattle hogs. poul-
try, etc. half hours attention TO the
accounts each day will enable any small
farmer 70 keep them straight so they can
each be balanced and a balance sheet
showing the result on the whole farm
made out at the end OF the year.
Perhaps the accounts will not in all In
stances be models Of neatness nd accu-
racy, but they will be found both in
structive and interesting, and no doubt
they will show the farmer just where his
profits are made and his losses occur. and
teach him just where 20 correct his errors
or amend his methods. lt will certainly
pay any farmer 10 keep complete and
comprehensive account Of all bis receipts
and expenses.

Gen. Terry.

There appears to have been a strong eff
fort on the part of some well known min
listers of the gospel to secure the nominal
tion of Gen. Howard to be Major General
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Gen. Hancock. Gen. Howard has for
years been prominent in religious work of
one kind and another, and hence the re-
ligiOus influence that was eXerted in his
behalf. 1t was also claimed that he was
entitled to the place by right Of seniority.
1t seems, however, that this claim was
not strictly well founded.
Brig. Gen. Alfred H. Terry, who was
nominated to the vacancy, is 58 years of
age, and is a native of Connecticut. At
the beginning Of the war he was practic-
ing law in New Haven. He recruited the
Second Regiment, Connecticut Volun-
teers. and was commissioned Colonel of it
May 8, 1861, and departed at once for the
seat Of war. He participated in the first
battle of Bull Run. and after the three
months term OF service of his regiment
had expired returned to New Haven,
where he recruited the Seventh Connecti-
cut Volunteers for three years. service.
In the naval and land expedition against
Port Royal he exhibited great courage,
and was conspicuous in the expe-
dition against Fort Pulaski, Ca
On April 10, 1862, the fort surren-
dered, and Terry was promoted to Brig
adler Generalship for his meritorious con-
duct. His subsequent career throughout
the war was conspicuous one, and in
cluded gallant service on James and Nor
ris Island, the assaults on batteries Wag-
ner and Gregg, the action at Deep Bot
tom, and the assault on the enemy's posi-
tions at Chapin's farm and Fort Fisher,
North Carolina. For his conduct at the
last two engagements he was brevetted
Major General of Volunteers March ID,
1868, and was commissioned Brigadier
General in the regular army Jan. 10, 1865.

ment of Dakota, Division of the Missouri,

One of Lochrane's Stories.
From Tie Neao YORK Tribune.


Judge o. A. Lochrane, of Georgia, is often
quoted in uptown circles for his witty stories.
He has the genuine Irish leYe of humor. He
is, by the way, native Of Ireland. His father
was the intimate friend of Daniel O'Connell
and the Judge as a boy visited O'Connell's
OConnell he draws some of his present feel
ing with regard to the future of ireland. He
said to me: There ls nothing that will ever
satisfy Ireland but complete separation. Ire
land is as at to govern herself as France
There has been a time when l would have
been afraid OF the experiment. But the peo-
pie of Ireland have advanced wonderfully in
the past ten years. Their education has been
along the line of self government. l have
always been in favor of separation, native
Parliament, and all that is thereby implied.
The bane of Ireland is the absenteeism
of her landlords. They take f30,6OO,OOO
and return nothing. 1 have always set
my face against anything but peaceful
constitutional agitation. England wouldltke
nothing better than an open revolt at the
present moment. That would be an excuse
for any brutality on her part. Then, too, the
moment there is rebellion and Ireland occu-
pies the position Of an armed belligereDt the
aid from America would stop at once. This
country could not afford to get into a war
with England for the sake of Ireland. The
country is too defenseless. The precedents
are against 1t When England and Russia
were engaged in the Crimean war English
men were given funds TO go from this country
to Canada 20 enlist in the English army. This

demanded that he be recalled, which was
done. The precedents are the came all along

we like ana attain the same end no less

The Probable Fate OF the EdmnBds
Resolutions.


The resolutions which the Republican
Senators are asked to support by the ma
Jonty report of the Judiciary Committee
provide that none OF the G43 nominees
appointed to I'LL vacancies caused by re-
mOvals shall be confirmed unless the
! President furnishes the reasons for the
renewals. The President in a message
( says that he will net furnish the reasons.
The Senate, he says, has nothing to do
with removals; it has only to do with APP
/ peintments. VIII the Senate or the Presi-
dent yield, or will the Gas nominations re-
main suspendedg 1t is pretty safe TO as
sumo that the President will not yield.
/ lie can't afford to. IL is probable that
after few speeches by some Of the most
extreme of the Republican Senators the
resolutions will be either rejected or re-
| farred back to the Judiciary Committee,
whore they will remain indefinitely.
Mr.. Edmunds will find when the test
comes that he cannos depend upon all
the Republican Senators to follow his

will be permitted to make himself promi-
nent with a view Of assisting him to Sc

date for the nomination of his party for
the Presidency, but he will not be per-
mitted to lead the Senate into rejecting
nominations for no other reason than that
the President refuses to give his reasons
for removals. When Mr.. Edmunds gets
through with his performance the Senate
will doubtless take up the nominations
and confirm those which deserve to be
confirmed.
In his message the President virtually
makes an appeal to the people, and the
| Republican Senators are too shrewd not
to see that he has a better prospect for
securing popular approval than they have.
The people will see that the President is
standing on his prerogative, and aiming
to do what is best for the public good,

trying to make party capital while pre-
tending to shield removed Republican
officials from the imputatiOn OF wrong

Comptroller Generals Report

The annual report for the year ending
Sept. so, 1885, Of Hon. W. A. Wright,
Comptroller General, has been published.
and the showing made is a very salts
factory one to the people of the State.
The condition Of the State Treasury is
as follows: Balance cash on hand Oct.
L, 1884, Sl4S, 100 rs. Receipts from Oct. 1,
1884 10 Sept. 30. 1885, SLUT, 42S IS, max
ing total of$1, 925 ,52S %. Disbursements,
81, AL, 1913 10. Balance on hand Oct. l,
1885, $484, 100 %.
The receipts for the year ending Sept.
30, 1894, were Sl,5S3, 1920 80, so it will be
seen that the receipts for 1888 showed an
increase over those OF 1884 of SPA, III rs,
while the disbursements for the year 1885
were $4s2, 920 81 less than those OF 1881.
This is a remarkable showing, though it
is due in part TO the fact that portion of
the State debt was refunded instead OF
being paid.
The Comptroller General states that
Notwithstanding the stringency of the
times, the taxes for 1884 we're paid
promptly, only Sl1 30 remaining unpaid
at the time OF making out his report.
This is more remarkable still.
The school fund received from the State
during the year was 1927, 7S9 40, which
was made up from the half rental Of the
Western and Atlantic railroad, $3.50, 600;
from liquor taxes, S77,Os2 so; from hire
OF convicts, Sl6.99l 81; from fees for In
specting fertilizers, S76,S8 80, and the
balance from dividend on Georgia railroad
stock, 1850, and tax on shows, $4,96s.
There is a gratifying increase over 1884.
An increase In the number OF polls is also
reported Of over 5000, the whole number
Of polls in 1885 being Jas, 29l whites and
99,577 colOred.
The taxable property OF the state in
1885 was 1921, e9j,6l6, being an Increase OF
$S7, 238, O6s over 1879, or OF over 80 per cent.
in six years.
