FULTON LETTER.

Fulton, s. G {, April "a The oat crop is
very promising, especially fall planting.
The cool spring has thrown the farmers
very much behind with their work and the
complaint OF poor stands Of corr is quite
general.
Ooly those who have abandoned the heavy
cotton acreage and substituted more grain
and forage crops appear to be getting on at
all. The demand for forage is even greater
than for corr itself There appears to be but
little competition in the local markets for the
farmer, while the western corr supply creates
less demand for the local surplus of the latter.
The marriage of Mr Adolphus Stack to
Miss Maud Griffn will take place in the
Methodist Church at Pinewood aext Wednes.
day evening.
The Fulton Academy, which has been very
successfully conducted drring the present
session by Miss Mary Seig of Charlottesville,
Va, aud Miss Ethel Suitn of this place will
close Friday next.
Quite pleasant trip to the getty by the
Sea- during reunioo week has been made up
by several of the peighborhood,
Among the late additions to Pinewood is
the recently constructed residence CT Mr..
George W Smith.
The fund for the new Presbyterian Church
at Pnewood has been very literally encour-
aged and we trust will be sufficiently pushed
to soon insure the new house of worship.
Rev. Bird of the Prssbyterian Seminary at
Columbia will fill the pulpit at the new
Methodist church at Plneweod next Sunday

be made to the city.
The peciel committee Of Council is at
work on the matter, aud has employed Mr.

He was up in the Providence country on his

Soon after getting we'll under way ne found
be had turned the top of the hill and was
goirg dowa bill at speed too rapid to stop

There was an unusually heavy and de.
s,ructive hail storm in the vicinity of Mayes-

on the groand until this morning, and con-
siderable quantity was brought to the city
this morning. Trees we're stripped Of leaves
and tender plants beaten to the ground. As

s.Some are horn great. some achieve great
ness and some have greatness thrust upon
them.n My sudden, might say violent, ele-
walton to the position of editor OF this column
is an illustration of the thrusting process.
assure you, dear sister, that the once sough1
me and not the office, and am conhdent that
you will soon agree with me that the once
might have been in great deal better ousi-
ness, but the women are as much Interested
in this column and paper as the men, ana we
surely owe it to our sex to keep up our COL
umu. Perhaps we can keep doing little
better until it will be the ''mans column
in Industrial Freedom, and we will wander at
our own sweet literary will through the rest
of the paper.
Seriously | thing this department can be
made an interesting and helpful feature OF
the propaganda work. Candidly can do but
little towards this for my literary ability,
small at best, has had the disadvantage OF
years of systematic and studied neglect.
Therefore | appeal for help, especially to the
outside sisters. Il know the resident women
will do all in their power, but realize that
they have their hands so full of actual, prac-
teal work that unless my experience is differ
ent from that of my predecessor they will
not encroach upon the space at my disposal.
We want short, bright, helpful articles, COW
ering the whole field of industrial, social and
political cooperation. The "Dont's" and
Giants" we can handle right here on the
ground, but CHEEKY word from the reserve
sisters will be of great help to us.
THANKING Won one and all for the assistance
which is to make this one of the permanent,
helpful features of our paper-if it is made
such feature, it must by by such help-I re-

Constantly Growing.
.lGE EDDY.

Socialism is forging ahead rapidly. News
papers which a short time ago did not dare to
say socialism for fear of offending some Of
the plutocratic gentry are now discussingthe
question openly in their editorial columns.
Mayor Jones' Gov. Pingree and others of their
character and standing are giving socialism,
wonderful impetus which all augurs well for
the future.
The spirit Of colonization is also abroad in
the land We hear OF new colonies b,iuror-
ganzed every week is some part of the south
or west, and If all do not prove a pc nanent
success they will at least place ba ore the
world practical applications of the principles
And to the end that all should be as far as
possible permanent sucress. | would warn
all would be colonsts to beware Of the rock
on which many private business enterprises
have run their ship, to avoid big debts,
| believe IL is much better and much more
safe plan to start on q small scale aud pay for
all land in advance than to purchase a large
tract and be burdened and handicapped from
the start Again would caution all about
location. Don't locate where you will be too
much at the mercy of railroad companies,for
they have no mercy a location should al
ways, if possible, be sought on a navigable
stream or on tide water: and another thing
which it seems to me is of great importance is
this, believe that all colonists should, as far
as possible, be manufacturing communities
and should locate with that end in view, but
each should be perfectly familiar with the
manufacturing facilities of all other colonies
and seek in so far as possible to take up some
other line and then work up an interchange
of products. Let nothing be purchased fron&
the outside that can be purchased fronl
brother colonists, and thus they will be abltI
to get along with small amount of s'iilthy
lucre." have Just received a pair of towels
manufactured by the colony at Common
wealth, Ga, which are as good ard as cheap
as could purchase in any of our stores, and
don't intend to use any other than Common
wealt towels from this on, and | believe all
who are are in sympathy with socialism shall
encourage these brave colonists down i'm
Georgia in the same way: and especially
should each colony use no other make.

along and making more recruits, and hone to

matters regarding sewer assessments.
and also the remudelling Of the old city

for the board ana as the preliminary
plans for the new building in the rear

ing drafted by Architect &. +. Paine
will not be ready until. today. the mat
ter was only discussed and final action
will come later.
The architect has been asked to sub

height with basement. the same really
TO constitute an addition To the east
side OF the old city building. The first
floor would be level with the first floor
of the city building ana here would b.
provided ample accommodation for
the city team. The stalls would open
into the fire station. spring doors being
used rs in metropolitan fire station.
The tenement above the stable will con
sst of five OF six rooms.
IN the west center Of the addition it
is thought that the hose over could be
locaed. The hose reels could be taken
The hose tower would probably be
about 80 feet in height. At present the
entrance to the hall is from a flight of
stairs which ascends in an addition
to the south side. This is now in a
poor state Of repair, ana it il now
thought best to discontinue this en-
trance, and provide access to the upper
floor by a fight Of stairs on the inside
probably the southwest corner.
1t is probable that the horses now
owned by the city will be exchanged for
a pair of younger horses. as there
seems to be an opportunity of closing
a trade upon very reasonable terms.
New drop harnesses are to be provided
for the fire apparatus and the horses
are to be schoOled as to their duty
when in time of fire the driver presses
the button which viii open the doors
of their respective stalls. The new fire
station will compare favorably with
