TIE aAuron ON TIE FARM.

DR.. Calling, the inventor of the famous
gun which bears his name, Is said to have
perfected an automobile plow," which he
expects will revolutionize farming. The
machine can be operated by one man, and
will do the work of eight men and twelve
horses. The power will be either gasoline
or oil. In addition to it's primary use in
the field, the machine can be used to drive
a thresher. TO shell corn, TO run a feed
cutter, or to draw the farm products to
market. 1t can, in short, be used almost
everywhere horses are used, and for a
number of purposes where horses cannot
be used. Another machine that DR.. CAT
ling is working on is designed for the cot
ton fields, to thin out the plants during
their early growth, thus doing away with
the man with the hoe" In chopping out
young cotton. This latter apparatus, it Is
said. Consists OF bed somewhat like
that OF a wagon, with shovels that are
worked by the motion of the machine q"
Possibly before a great while Dr. CAT
ling will draw upon his acknowledged ge-
MUS stll further and produce an automo-
bile cotton harvesting machine A me-
chanical harvester is sadly needed, and a
successful one would quickly spring into
favor.
The automobile plow, however, is said
to be virtually at the stage of practical
biity, and it is not difficult to believe
that the claim is correct. It will take the
place of the gang plow, in use for years
on the great plantations performing an
equal amount of work for about one-hfth
the cost. And after the blowing has been
accomplished the automobile will thresh
out the grain and haul it TO market As
to the construction or cost of the appa-
ratus Or. Calling is as yet silent. prob
ably because his patents have not been
perfected; but 1t is promised that the cost

| horses that will be displaced by the in
vention
Just how the farmers who raise corn
and oats and hay for market will be apt
to view an invention calculated to curtail
the demand for those commodities is a
ques ton; but 1t is quite likely that the
farmers who raise wheat, rye cotton. Do
tatoes, etc, viii not have any hesitation
in adopting a labor-saving device. which
promises such a l,rge rcdu tion in cost

A wel-known young physician of the
northwest section was driving along Six

the Washington Post, when a small boy

and leaped from the buggy. He took after

rHr oNE-AcRn cRoP FAD.

the one-acre crop fad. and a large number
of farmers will indulge themselves in 1t.
Stated simply, the farmer will pick out the
best acre on his place and exert special eff
forts to the end of producing the largest
crop possible on that acre, or seeing how
great he can make his profits from il.
This is not to stand in the way of or

would probably be within bounds to say
that nine times out of ten the acre so SCI
apart has given most bounteous returns
for the kindness shown H. The report of
such a one-acre crop was made to the re-
cent convention of the Georgia Dairymen's
Association, by Mr.. Thomas Treadaway
of Floyd county. Mr. Treadaway plant
ed his acre in the most ordinary sorts OF
truck-turnips, Irish potatoes and corn.
The latter he sold green. He plowed his
ground deep, fertllized it literally and gave
It all of the attention that 1t demanded.
When the harvest was finished and the
crops marketed Mr.. Treadaway found that
his single acre had given him products
to the cash value of $500. That was truly
an exceptional showing, but it illustrates
the possibilities OF Georgia soil when care
fully and lntelligently TILED.
1t would not be possible for every farm
er TO duplicate the Floyd county mans
success, of course. and the majority of
them might take less than half as much
from their one-acre crops. But If they
realized only one-fourth, or in round fig-
ures, $l25, the first year. there would no
doubt be profit in the experiment and the
experience gained would be worth money

tlvated is, unquestionably. more profitable

Nn ANNIors nIpnERs.

The announcement was made a few
days ago that the Republican National
Committee would meet in Washington In
December to select the place for holding
the forthcoming national convention Of
that party The Democratic Committee
win meet within a short time for sim
liar purpose. It Is necessary 10 select the
convention city six months OF more ahead
Of time. in order that arrangements Tor ac-
commoda ting a large crowd may be per-
fected Each OF these national gatherings
Is quite a big event. and heretofore there
has been spirited bidding between the
great cities for the conventions. The city
Of the convention is required TO pay the
expenses Of the gathering, so that IL may
be held with the least possible cost 70 the
party. The city, or, rather, the subscro-
ers to the convention fund, are reimburs-
ed through profits on increased trade
brought in by the influx Of delegates and
politicians. 1t is TO the city's interest,
therefore, to have the convention as long
drawn out as possible, and the more ques-
lions of great interest there are 10 come
before the convention, the better it is for
the entertaining municipality, since each
question will attract tens or possibly hum
dreds of politicians interested in the set
clement of it.
The conventions Of next year, as 1t now
appears, will be nothing more than three
day ratification meetings, If, indeed, either
runs into the third day. The platforms
will be cut and dried before the delegates
.Nft ha
dldates will be known long in advance. It
is not expected, therefore, that the at
tendance upon either convention Will be
so large as in former years. That is the
view that is being taken in Chicago St.
Louis and elsewhere, and it is said that
neither OF the larger cities will be before
the committees as very spirited bidders
for the conventions. 1t cost st. Louis up
wards of $4,000 to entertain the last Re
publican convention, and she lost money
on it. Chicago had to pay $4,000 for the
Democratic convention of 1886, and did
not come out even at those figures. Ma
tional conventions are rather expensive
Injuries. and are apt to pain on a city's
appetite for notoriety before there have
been very many repettions, if there should
be no profits forthcoming.
Both Chicago and st. Louis are candi-
dates for the conventions but neither is
"hustling." nor would either be very
sorry should the meetings go elsewhere.
Among the other candidates are San
Francisco, Kansas City Denver, Milwau-
kee and Baltimore. There is an under
current of feeling in Washington that the
Republican convention will 90 to Chicago,
without any very great urging, and that
the Democratic convention will be held in
Kansas City or Baltimore.

A NATTER OF IMPORTANCE.


Several times we have called the atten-
ton of the property owners and business
men Of this city &c the importance Of maxi
ing efforts in the direction Of factories.
For some reason or other they have not
seen fit to take any action in the matter.
The city Is growing quite rapidly. New
buildings are being erected all the time
that IS, new dwellings. We have no
doubt hat the inflow of people would
be much greater than 1t is II the oppor-
tunities for employment were more nu-
merous, We cannot depend wholly on
commerce. Our commerce is increasing,
but not fast enough to afford employment
for all who would like to come here.
The owners of property and others who
are interested in the city do not seem to
take notice of the fact that If our vacant
lots and additions are to be built up there
must be something for people to do TO
earn a living. People viii not stay here,
and the natural increase in the population
will not say, unless employment can be
had.
There are some of our people who seem
to believe that factories do not prosper
here. This belief Of theirs is based
on the failure of two or three manufactur-
ing enterprises that were started here. But,
as a matter OF fact were not these en-
terprises badly managed, and was not
their failure due to that fact? If they
had been managed intelligenuy and eco
nomically it is pretty certain that they
would have prospered Factories are be-
ft-1. I
at other places on the coast Philadelphia,
one of the greatest manufacturing cities
in the country, IS a seaport, being only
little further from the sea than Savannah
is Baltimore has many factories, and
they are in a fiourishing condition. Sa-
vannah has some factories. They are
paying a good profit on the money invest
ed in them because they are controlled
by persons who understand their busi-
ness.
More factories are needed, and must be
had If the city is to continue to grow
This will be admitted by all who have
given the matter careful consideration.
The thing for our business men and prop
erty owners to do is to get together and
take steps for the establishment of addi-
tional factories. The assertion that facto-
ries win not pay here has no substantial
foundation. The fact that they do pay
is satisfactory evidence that others would
pay.
The cotton factory, whose doors have
been closed so long, ought to be put into
operation without unnecessary delay The
assertion is made in print that in every
part of the state during the last year cot
ton factories have made from 20 to 50 per
cent. on the capital invested in them Our
factory, under competent management,
would have done quite as well.
Within the last year we have talked
about several things for the city's good.
but we have done nothing practical The
time to do something has come. We want
more avenues of employment, and we
must have them If we want our city to
continue to grow. What we want done
we must do ourselves. We cannot expect
outsiders to do what we ourselves hesitate
to do
