The Inter State Farmers Association.

This body was organized by the
Interstate Convention of Farmers
which met in Atlanta, Ga, in August,
1887. 1t was a magnificent body Of
broad-minded, patriotic, representative
agriculturists of the ten cotton States.
The Association wasborn of necessity.
The peculiar and 1anguishing condi-
ton of agriculture, especially in the
South, is matter of intense interest
and profound concern. To reach a just
conception of our environments and to

the great and grand object and purpose
Of the Association. In all departments
Of industrial enterprise in the South
except in the great field of Agriculture.
we witness and feel the invigorating
pulsations Of quickened life and energy.
There are causes which have unbal-
arced the industries of the country.
They must be readjusted so as to secure
to agriculture (the greatest of ally a fair

limited by the constitution of the
Association to five for each congress
sional district.

APPOINTMENTS TO FEDERAL P(
SITIONS

| APPOINTMENTS TO FEDERAL PO-
sITIONs.
A coed deal of inquiry is being made
Gs to the course whi'.h will bs pursued
by General Harrison, after he Is inaug-
uFs.ed. as to the appointment OF federal
officers. Petitions ere already being cir
culsted asking for the eppoin msDt Of
this or that man to office. We will give
cur views IS to the course which will be
pursued, and lehve it for tins 10 show
whether We prognos.icate aright or
not. Those who suppose that Mr. Har-
rison will make clean sweep at once
after his inauguration, will find them
selves mistaken. 1t is simply impossi-
ble for him to do it, and transact sright
The other duties Of his position. We
may think es We choose about Mr.
Cisveland's acts as president, there can
be no doubt ths. he did his party and
he country at large, a great benefit by
he course he pursued during the first
cali of his term, so far ss the federal
patronage was concerned. We mean by
thie, his general scourse on that eubject.
De failed in this sometimes, but as
rule he did well. We have no doubt
that General Hsrrison will do as Mr..
Cleveland did. In the first place, Ct
course, his cabinet will ba selected, and
rs soon as it Can be brought about, with
due regard to al tho circumstances,
there will be changes in heads ct de-
partments at Washington. and in the min
isters to foreign governments. As fast
rs the commissions Of postmasters ard
others whose positions sre for definite
term expire, republicans will be ap-
pointed in their places. To adopt any
other course would disgtst the great
mass CT the peopls Of ali parties and be
Injurious to the public service. 1t is
not unlikely thst this rule will be, to
some extent, depsrted from in the case
Of postal clerks. That the postal service
is in q rotten condition is unlvers-
ally conceded, and much OF that rot
tenness is due to the discharge of tried
clerks, and the putting in Of green and
Incompetent men. This must be rene

ABOUT SESSIONS OF THE LEGIsLA-
TURE
We notice that come of our esteemed
contemporaries sre a. it sgain telling
the members OF the legislature that two
weeks time is sufficient to do ell the
business necessary to be done. II each
membsr was wiling to let one or tRo
men prepare the business which is to be
transacted and taks the word OF those
ors or two members that it was all righ.
the legislature probably could ges
through its business and adjourn in two
weeks. Fortunately or unfortunately
(and We think the former) mankind is
SO constituted that the average man is
not willing to leave his duties to others
to perform. A member introduces
bill, which in bis opinion is just what it
should be. This BILLS read three times
on three separate days and then referred
to the proper committee. At tine end of
five days that committee, after looking
it ever carefully, makes its report, with
such recommendations es it believes to
be for the best interests OF the state. 1
The bill is then printed and laid upon
the tables Of the members and goes into
the calendar under the head Of General
Orders" To get the bill into this shape
usually takes from two to three weeks.

bate, which may extend through week.
il majority Of the committee of the

recommendation to thet effect is made
to the house. The bill is then ordered
to be enrolled for third resding ard
in the course Of three or four days, with
good luck, if carefully watched. it may
be ready to be voted upon on its final
passage. 1t takes eixsy three votes 10

resdsr can realize that there are 125
members of the lower house, every one
of whom will desire to introduce en- av-
erage Of say ten bills, there will be before
that body 1850 bills that require some
action. With this in view the talk alb 1ut
