Fity Bales of Cotton per Mule.

''How is it possible for you to have made twenty eight bales of cotton per mule upon your planta- ton this year. was asked of Hon. Primus Jones. the first bale man of Baker county Ga.
 "The easest thing in the world, ." was the reply. If l live ten years longer expect to make fifty bales to the mule. Fifty acres k the av- craze number tended hy a mule, and it will be a simple matter for me to bring my land up to a high state of cultivation that each and every acre planted will produce its bale of cotton. As said before, intense farming k going to become the sal Nation of this country"
 Col. Jones believes in heavy fcrtil- lization. He has an immense shed l02 feet long hy e feet wide, in which he pens up his stock at night, and in which he makes up his com post. The lumber in his shed alone. exclusive of nails. shinglc etc, cost him over s90O.
 We would add: Considering the large number of planters who, during recent years, have reported prod net of bale per acre, and the an
 
 one thousand. and some as many as fifteen hundred pounds of lint cotton per acre. under the intensive system of farming, the above anticipation of MT. Jones cannot be regarded as visionary or impossible of realization in les time even, than in ten ears.-Georgia Exchange

A TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
Essay Delivered Before Prescott
 Loyal Citizens Society.

l Which is the More Effectual Way of
 Dealing With the Liquor Traffic,
 by Constitutional Prohibition or by
 High License and Local Option!
 My decided conviction is that con stitutional prohibition has proven the more effcctnal. In Investigating i this subject. we shall first take some note of high license and local option. High license seems originally to have been compromise between the whisky people on one side and timid anti-saioon men on the other; and 1 local option is crumb thrown to prohihitionsts to quiet them.
 We raise the question as subsidia- ry to the main question. Does High l License Restrict the Tratiic:' In discussing this question, we take the position that. while it may diminish 1 the number of saloons. 1t does not restrict the traffic: nay. more. It In- creaSes and strengthens it. Look i ing at the matter "a priori. what may we expect? Let us suppose that. under no license or low license there are in Prescott three saloons two run by full handed men and the other by man of very 1 limited means, barely sufficient to run a small business. yet a paving busi- ness. Now let the legislature raise the license to Sl .OOO. The first and most obvious effect will be to close up the one horse concern, and so diminish the number of saloons one third. At the first glance, that ap- pears to be restriction. But let Us look further on. The other two are at a much heavier expense. and the division of the one-horsc mans GUS toners will not meet this new eN- pensc. What is to be done: Shall they raise the price of drink Hardly. Will they diminish the size of drinks! The guzzlers will never never consent to that One way to meet difficulty and the one generally resortcd to. is to put greater dis tance between the cost and selling prices What do you mean to say that the manufactures is to be the sufferer! that he must pay this addi- tional tax! Not he. Adulteration in past solves the problem. said. in part. for increased business is an influential factor. Increased husi- ness. How does that appear: Which l k the most influential in q communi- l tv. five hundred or five thousand dollar man: \ pauper or q million aire: Money is power. Money Is influence.

Gentlemen may % in there The wealthy sa- loon men have large followings. and 1 for that reason are courted by men in need of votes. Politicians need their money as well as their votes. - In this way. saloonists assume a tre- mendous importance.
 This financial and political inllu- ence. in connection with their dimin- ished number. enables them to caSi- ! ly combine. to influence legislation and the administration of justice.- But their most productive fields, their richest mines. are the popular i elections.

The Preparation of the Land for
 Corn Crop.

Corn Crop.
 Because of the great variety of soils. location and conditions of lands and the pre-conccived idea of the great multitude of corn raised. 1t Is very difficult for any writer to lay down fixed plans for all to follow in the preparation and cultivation of that very important crop. VIZ corn. Where we asked what time is best to begin work to insure an abundant harvest, we would answer. on lands that had been long in cultl- ton. at least two seasons before planting the seed corn. our first sea on we would as early as May. SOW that wonderful land rcstorcr, the corn pea. broadcast. which in about eight or ten weeks would have made sufficient growth to cover the land; turn this entirely under with good two horse blow and re-seed the land with rye. even as early as August l5 to September 1. This will provide late fall and winter pastures enough to more than pay for all labor and cash expended for seed. Let the stock be taken off the land two or three weeks before breaking up for spring planting. By all means do not break the land while it is wet watch for dry spell in early spring plow- ing. and break deep with two horse blows: let the land lay few days to dry out. then follow with large steeltooth harrow. Now you have land in suitable condition for seeding with the planter. which is always preferable to planting hy hand because the seed is dropped at regular distances, planted and GOV cred at proper depths. the rows straighter. and consequently. culti- vated very much facilitated.
 Had the land to be planted been cropped the previous season, then begin work as early in the fall. after crop either corn or cotton. is gather ed as quick as possible. Take noth- ing from the land as some do, by burning stalks and other trash. but chop them up with a good stalk cut ter where they stand, then follow horse blow as will turn them under where they rot during the winter months, thereby beneIitting the soil, saving the labor of pulling and burn ing stalks, putting them out of the way of cultivating to a purpose, and thus treated. will be ready for plant ing much earlisr than if left to care for itself until spring work pushes the cropper, m when case something must be neglected.

This accumulation thrown into heap. with stable manure and surplus cotton seed, and a small proportion of bone meal and forked over once of twice, will sup ply an inexpensive and invaluable fertilizer Open your drill and apply 400 to 300 pounds of the above compost per acre. By all means plant none but sound. select seed corn and we feel assured at har- vest time you will say. surely l am paid many fold for my trouble by the great increase in my yield of corn. Later, time permitting we'll make few notes on the cultivation of cornr-W estern Rural.

They report a reduction of over 600 saloons in the entire state and perceptible reduction of drunk enncss: but admits that the last statement is speculation. Bishop Ireland states that in Winona there is under high license but one saloon instead of eight or ten: and in Gale donia there are but four where there were fifteen. etc. One cannot help observing in all these statements the fact that in nothing but the number of saloons is there any itemizing.- They are all sweeping platitudcs.
 Similar statements are made touch inc Ohio. Michigan, Missouri Ne braska and even Illinois. Two points are conspicuous in these re- ports so favorable to high license and local option: to-wit. reduction in the number of saloons and great increase of revenue. Most of the other state ments are speculative gencralities.-

GentIcmca: Your letter of the 3lst ult., in regard to prohibition, is at hand and care fully noted I would answer your queS- tion, as you put them as follows:
 1. High License has not hurt our business but, on the contrary ha. been great benefit to it as well as to the people generally.
 ,. believe somewhat, as you say the Gin cinnati Toiksbldu says, that High License acts as bar against Prohibition. It Is e'Pee- ially so in this State, aS the tax from the li- censc zoe, towards supporting the schools, thereby relieving the citizen, and farmers of just ,o much tax that they would. otherwise have to pay. and i- therefore especially ben cfcial to the poor and labOrinS classes. It also gives the bushes, more of tone and legal standing, and place, it in hands ot a better class of people
 !. do not think that High License lessenf the duantity of liquor used, but places il in fewer and better hands with better reguari- tv.
 i. AS to the trade repeating the High Li- cense law, if the question was left to it. do not think, SD far as my acquaintance ls con- cerncd, that it would do so. have an eN- ten,ye acquaintance through this State, and believe if it were put to a vote of the liquor dealers and saloon men whether it should be High License no license, or low license, that they would almoat unanimously be for High License Those objcctins would be a c!a,, without responsibility or character, who never pay for anything if they can help it, and simply start in business fora few months with the view of beating every one they can, and, of course, naturally such q class would not want this law. I cannot sec how any one who has anything at stake can help but fayor High License and enforcing the law strictly.
 !. would be in favor of High License rather than trust to the non-eudorccmcnt ot the law under Prohibition If you under take to do your bushes, without protection you are blackmailcd by onc-horsc attorneys, which in the end amounts to many times the cost of d license every year, even if the It. censc be very high.

Political Fame.

Political fame seems but paltry
thing for which to spend ones life, to
say nothing of ones substance, when
viewed from a certain standpoint. 1t
is ephemeral and tleeting. The man
in power to-day, is out tomorrow, the
next day but one, forgotten. When
John L. Hoffman died few weeks ago
on the other side of the ocean, not
many noted the fact of his death, and
of those who noted it, few remembered
that he was twice Governor of New
York, and was at one time mentioned
in connection with the Presidency.
His obituary notice was few lines in
the newspaper. The history of recent
political leaders stands as prophecy to
those who are now in power. saying
.'your day is short, make the most of it. "
TheIJnited States would be quite, thick
lY populated alone by those who were
in public life few years or months
ago, but whose names are now forgotten.
When Grover Cleveland retires from
the Presidential chair next year, he
will sink speedily into "innocuous des-

him will know him no more.

he has to pull off his coat to aid his
lungs, only to find when his candidate
gets in, that the particular position that
