Effects of the Storm.

The storm was far less damaging than
it was feared it would be when its ap-
proach to the Florida coast was an
nounced. 1t did far more damage in
Florida than in this state. and it was
much more severe in that state. The
center of the storm was a considerable
distance off the Georgia coast, and the
effect of the wind was not felt seriously
very far inland No doubt a good deal of
cotton, principally sea island cotton, was
damaged, but to what extent will not be
fully apparent until the cotton is offered
in the market
In this immediate vicinity the rice crop
was hurt somewhat, but the rice planters
are rejoicing that the damage is so much
less than they expected it would be. The
Tybee railroad suffered a little, but it il
estimated that it will not cost more than
$1,000 to repair it. The storm was very
light one in comparison with the August
storm OF last year.
In Florida the chief damage is to the
orange crop. The storm covered pretty
nearly the whole of the orange belt, and a
vast amount Of fruit was blown from the
trees. 1t is probable, however, that the
loss of fruit will not result in a
pecuniary loss to the orange growers. 1t
was estimated before the storm that the
crop would reach 100000 boxes A crou
of that size would have meant low prices
for the fruit. In proportion as the yield
has been reduced, the prices, in all proba-
bility, will be increased.
All things considered, the wreckage
and ruin caused by the storm are so
much less than it was at one time
thought probable they would be, that the
prevailing feeling, instead OF being one of
depression, is one of thankfulness that
| the damage was not greater.

Iudre Hins. and the Blacks.

] It is stated that large number Of the
, black voters Of Bulloch county have
/ signed a pledge that they will not vote
Z for Judge Hines. This actionis doubtless
/ due to the statement of a number of
| prominent white citizens of that county
that Judge Hines, on several occasions,
/ in their presence, spoke contemptuOusly of
the colored people, showing that he has a
very low opinion of them.
But why should any colored man vote
the pOpulist ticket? The populists do
not promise them anything in their plat
form, and they couldn't fulfill promises
to them if they should make any. What
the populists want is the assistance of
the black vote. They are talking about
free school books and telling the blacks
they will share the Offices with them,
but, as a matter of fact, they have no use
for the blacks. They have about the
same opinion of them that Judge Hines is
alleged to have expressed.
The main reason why the populists are
now so anxious to get the black vote is
that they see there is going to be great
falling off in the populist vote next
Wednesday, and they want to make as
good a showing as they did two years ago
They know if they do not populism in this
state will be as dead as a door nail" If
the pOpulist vote should fall considerably
below what it was in the last state cleo
ton the great majority of the populsts
would go back to the democratic party,
satisfied that it would be folly to keep
alive any longer the populist organization.
The populist leaders are sufficiently
well informed in respect to the condition
of their party to know that there has
been a very great decline in the strength
of their party, and that at the election
they will make very poor showing, un-
less they can get the blacks to come to
their assistance.
But viii the blacks lend them a helping
hand? The indications are they will not
They understand the political situation
in this state, and are not disposed to as
sist party that is largely composed of
men between whom and themselves there
has been, from time to immemorial, clearly
defined enmity.
There have been many reports of the
organization of the blacks by populists,
and of the purpose of the blacks to vote
with the populists, but as yet these re-
ports have not been traced to any anthem
tic source. The blacks cannot be so
easily made use of as the populist leaders
seem to think.

HARRISON Lacks Frankness.

IT is regrettable that so eminent a man
as ex-President Harrison does not deal
I frankly with the people He has enjoyed
the highest honor that can be conferred
\ upon him. and it is not likely that he will
be asked TO accept Office again. He can
| afford therefore to be entirely fair in
speaking of parties and party measures.
! In introducing Gov. Mckinley at a pub
! lie meeting in Indianapolis last Tuesday
/ he took occasion TO say that when he left
/ the Presidency the country was extra
/ ordinarily prosperous, and that the hard
times of the last two years We're due TO
the fact that the Democratic party had
control of the government. He desired il
to be understood that if the Republican
party had remained in control of the gov
eminent the money panic and business
depression would not have occurred.
Gen. Harrison cannot help knowing
that the signs Of the approaching business
depression had appeared before his term
as President expired. The immense
treasury surplus that his administration
had Inherited from the Cleveland admin
istration-One Of the best administrations
the country has ever known-had been
squandered, and there was 4 treasury de-
felt of many millions Of dollars Under
the operations of the Mckinley tariff the
revenues Of the government had ceased to
meet its expenses and there was a feeling
of alarm over the rapid disappearance of
the treasury's gold. Gen. Harrison's
Secretary of the Treasury seriously con-
sidered the adviss bility of issuing bonds
to build up the gold reserve and supply
the treasury deficiency.
The whole of Europe was suffering
from a serious business depression, and
when the Republican party turned the
government over to the democrats this
country had begun to suffer from a SINH
lar depression.
These facts all the world knows. Tt
seems strange, therefore, that Gen. Har-
rison should permit party spirit to carry
him so far as to practically deny them.
The people would hold him in much
higher esteem if he should deal with
them with entire frankness. They of
course expect him to defend his party
and his administration, but, at the same
time, they feel he should have proper
regard for facts.

The astute politician pays attention to
the ways and needs of the farmers, and
occasionally drops in suggestion as to
how their material condition may be i'm
proved. Horace Greedy did it, and what
he knew about farming became the talk
of nation. Senator Walsh is doing it.
and what he knows about farming like
wise may become celebrated In a late
issue Senator Walsh's paper thus edito-
rally discusses why so many farmers fail
TO raise" hogs: "While talking to a farm
er the other day in the southern part of
the state, the writer asked why so many
farmers failed to raise hogs, and the re-
ply was that they were SO easy to steal
that it did not pay to raise them for some
other fellow We suggested that the rea-
son they are stolen is perhaps because
they are so rare as to tempt the cupidity
and appetite, and the remedy would be
for every farmer to raise all he needed
and then there would be no necessity for
theft. We suggest to our farmers TO
think over this" The remedy is logical
all the farmer has got to do is to raise all
the hogs he needs and then there will be
no necessity for him to -; but, surely
