ATLANTA FOR CLEVELAND.

Clubs to Be Organized to Work for the
New York Statesman.
ATLANTA, Feb. A petition calling a
meeting for the purpose of organizing a
Cleveland club was in circulation here to-
day. 1t was largely signed by representa-
tive citizens. and next Monday night the
movement will be given a rousing send
off by mass meeting at the court house.
The object Of the club is to see that the
delegates to the Chicago convention are in
structed for Cleveland, and vigilant
work to this end will be
done. 1t is proposed to organize
similar clubs throughout the state in order
TO get a solid Cleveland delegation. The
movement was first talked of some weeks
ago, and was given fresh impetus by the
recent demonstration which greeted Mr.
Cleveland as he passed through Atlanta.
Another thing which has inducad this move
on the part OF Mr. Cleveland's supporters is
the systematic work being done In favor of
Senator Hill.

QUITMAN, Ca, Fob. Al a meeting of
the stockholders Of the Merchants and
Farmers Bank the old board was unani-
mously reelected. The board consists Of j.
H. Mccall, j. C. Mcdonald, J. N. Mclean,

offices of president and cashier respectively.
statement of affairs was read showing
the affairs of the bank TO be in fourishing
condition.
The Quitman Canning company is TO run
on full time this year. The company has
made arrangements for the planting of
twenty acres of tomatoes alone. Other
vegetables will be planted in considerable
quantities. The works have a capacity OF
10000 cans per day aud ir is likely that they
will be kept busy about all of the summer
The decrease in the amount of guano
used by Brooks county this year is very
large. To illustrate: The books of one
dealer show that In January, 1891, he wrote
259 orders on the warehouses for delivery of
guano. The books of this same dealer
show that in January, 1892, he wrote
only sixty-five such orders. This means
that the farmers are using more home
raised fertilizers.
John p. Brooks, q successful farmer,
living within a mile of town, ie going to
plant twenty acres in tobacco this year.
Mir. Brooks is pushing, Woodworking
farmer. and his experiment with SO large q
crop will be watched with interest
Wild turkeys are reported more numer-
GUS in the county than for a number OF
years. A farmer came in the other day
with three fine gobblers, which he had
"baited" and killed at one shot.

TO Perfect Plans.

Delegates to Meet in Atlanta Feb. 20
TO Perfect Plans.
ATLANTA, Feb. A meeting for the
purpose of organizing a southern base ball
league has been called to be held In Atlanta
Feb. 30, at the office Of Lanier & Hoppe.
Recently a good deal of correspondence has
been going on between interested parties in
Atlanta and prominent advocates Of ball in
the cities of Macon, Columbus, Augusta,
Savannah, Birmingham, Charleston, Nash
vile, Chattanooga, Montgomery, Mobile
and Knoxville, and nearly all OF these cities
have signified a strong desire to be repre-
scented in the southern league. A letter
was received from Macon yester-
day stating that 1880 had
already been subscribed. and the
remaining amount needed would be raised
within the next few days there. These cit
les have fine grounds, and the greatest en-
thusiasm prevails, making it certain that
the southern league can be carried through
the season of 1892 successfully. Delegates
from the cities named above will be present
at the meeting Feb. 20. when officers will be
elected and other preliminaries perfected.

soR1vBN COUNTY FARMERS.
They Intend TO Get Along With Les

They Intend TO Get Along With Less
Fertilizers.
SyLvANIA, Ga. Feb. 4.-The Telephone
has interviewed prominent and well-in-
formed farmers from different sections of
Scriven county on agricultural matters,
and 10 averaging up the interviews finds
that the acreage of cotton planted In the
county this year will be 25 per cent. less
than last year; that in one or two sections a
number OF farmers will plant several acres
of tobacco each as an experiment; that
the acreage of corn. as compared
with last year, win be increased % per cent;
that the decrease in the amount of COM
mercial fertilizers used this year Will be at
least 40 per cent as compared with 1891
that the increase in the paintings Of grain,
pease, sugar cane and other food crops will
be not less than 80 per cent. This is very
gratifying showing inded, and proves that
our farmers have determined to live at
home and be independent of the west for
their provision crops.

Banker Dill Discharged,

CLEARFIELD. Pa, Feb. 4-The embez-
Element case against Banker Dill here
ended to-day. Dill took the stand In his
own behalf and narrated the story of his
connection with the two banks. Money
taken from the Houtzdale bank was used in
saving the credit of the First National
Bank, by paying its regular obligations and
Caledonia drafts.
When Dill left the stand Judge Mayer
took the case from the jury. He said that
the moment $4,000 was credited to the First
National Bank in the Philadelphia banks,
that moment the First National Bank
was liable to the Houtzdale
Bank, and the prosecution against
Dill could not stand. He therefore
ordered that verdict of mot guilty, - but
to pay the costs. be recorded. and Dill was
discharged.

ANOTHER m'klNLey MIRACLE.


How the Mckinley Law Employed 5000
Laborers without Raising the Duty.
The following letter was sent 10 the
New York Press by "a manufacturer who
came over 10 this country from London
some years ago TO reap portion of the
tariff spoils;
6IR-By the inclosed pamphlet you may
learn something of the effect OF the Mckinley
tariff law on the down quilt business. Three
years ago down quilts were luxury. Ninety
eight per cent. were manufactured In England
Tor uH. There are now In America six factories
creating employment for 1000 people. The
average price OF a down quilt OF the cheapest
kind was twelve dollars. II Is now six dollars
Tho average price OF one Of the finer grade was
thirty dollars, and Is now seventeen dollars. We
take orders now for 1000 quilts from concerns
who two years ago gave orders for twenty. II
should DO added that the designs and colorings
are more suitable Tor this country than the
English ones. A. j. MoISrosH.
Commenting upon this letter The
Press said editorially:
1.-THE Mckinley tariff made the profit
able manufacture Of down quilts posi-
BILE In the United States. Previous to
It's enactment down quilts were luxury
used only by people who had plenty Of
money. Ninety-eight per cent. Of these
goods were imported from England.
Only one small factory for their manu-
facture existed in the United States.
Today there are six American down
guilt factories doing prosperous bust
ness"
To get at the truth In this case re-
porter took a copy Of The Press to Mr..
K. II. Merrill, who has charge of the
down quilt business for the great whole
sale house of Arnold, Constable q Co.,
New York. Although Mr.. Merrill Is a
good Republican his indignation rose as
he read McIntosh's letter, and when he
had finished II he exclaimed with en-
orgy,
"It's monstrous hel The whole thing
is roth Well. I'm a good Republican,
but / must say that our fellows can beat
the Democrats lying this year." Mr.
Merrill went ON to say that Mcintosh
had called ON Arnold, Constable 81 Co.
10 offer them some of his down quilts;
"but," said Mr.. Merrill, 1--WE could not
handle his stuff"
But If The Press had taken the trouble
TO examine the Comparison Of the Gus
toms Law of 1888 with the New Law of
1690." prepared under the direction Of
the committee Of finance, United States
senate" 1t would never have been led
into indorsing McIntosh's silly lie.
That companion" gives manufactur-
ers of down at so per cent in both lawsl
Thus the Mckinley law employs 1900
laborers without the slightest change Of
duty!
Alas for the Republican editor who
assumes that all blessings flow from the
Mckinley law, and who is too lazy to
open his books!
