Bonded Debt of Georgia Counties

A census bulletin relative to the financial
condition of counties in the United States
gives some interesting statistics concerning
the indebtedness Of the counties of Georgia
Georgia counties are better off than those
of any other southern state except Louisi-
ana. That state has the greatest decrease
in county indebtedness in the last ten years,
and Kentucky the least, while Texas shows
q large increase. The figures for Georgia
are considerably larger than those of ten
years ago. North Carolina stands last on
the list of percentages of increase, showing
an advance of 6 per cent. In 1880 Ken
lucky held first place as to the amount of
bonded debt recorded from the counties
in 1890 Texas holds the most prominent po-
sition, with bonded debt of 81, Ice, 072.
Georgia had the smallest bonded debt in
1880, but this position has been accorded to
Louisiana for 1890. The totals show an
increase of Is per cent. in the bonded debt
OF the southern states as a geographical
group. There has been an increase of
eighty-three counties in these states during
the past ten years, sixty-s of them being
in Texas.
The bonded debt of the 1877 counties in
this state is $500. 900, an increase of s276, 400
since 1880. The increase is due to new
issues of Improvement bonds in different
counties, Chatham county alone having
issued 500, 900 worth for a new court house.
But s399,000 is very small Indebtedness
for 1877 counties, about $1,000 each, COM
pared with other states like Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Missis.
sippi, Texas, Kentucky and Tennessee, where
the average indebtedness of counties
is from $751; 900 to $4,000 each. There are
272S counties in the United States, and
their total bonded indebtedness is $3.50, 1884,
$50, or about $24, 600, 900 more than it was
ten years ago. This would be an average
debt of $4S.0 to each county. Georgia's
gross county indebtedness is put at $465,.
060, or about $500 to each county. 1t is
less than that of any other southern state
except Louisiana. This showing is a good
one, and proves that the counties have nc
debt, bonded or floating, that they cannot
easily pay.

Decline of the Cowboy.

The rapid decline Of ranching in Texas
and the Indian territory marks the end of
the career OF the cowboy. That picturesque
exponent Of the cattle ranch system is to
pass out of existence by the gradual aboIi-
ton of the system itself The existence of
the cattle companies who occupied, in many
cases without owning, vast tracts of
territory, on which their herds
were pastured, has been prolonged in the
Indian territory. by the leases which those
corporations obtained from the Indian
proprietors of that section. The system
having been stopped by the government,
the Indians will have TO raise cattle them
selves or occupy their lands in severalty.
In other parts Of the west the decline of the
great cattle ranges, which is the real and
most satisfactory cause of the passing of the
cowboy, has been more marked.
The ranches are being displaced by farms
particularly is this the case in Texas and
Wyoming-whose owners raise compar-
atively small herds of cattle. 1t is a salts
factory indication that the democratic
farm is able SO easily to displace the aristo-
cratic ranch, with the advantages of
capital, possession and influence all
on tue side of the latter. 1t is
one of the surest indications of
the innate strength which is
held by the distribution of property and in-
dustry among the greatest number of small
property holders. The termination of the
cowboys career. presents its most satisfac-
tory aspect as an indication of the end of the
employers of the cowboy, the great corpora
tions which threatened only short time
