An Economical Crop.

There is one redeeming feature connected with
the present crops and that is that the farmers are
exercising every economy possible in producing
them They are using minimum amount of COM
mercial fertilizer and avoiding unnecessary debts
They are keeping their tenants within the bounds
of reason and encouraging them to practice econ
omy at every point, so that they will not owe at
the end of the season more than the crop, even at
a low price, will bring the market. This
is a good sign for better times ahead next fall. The
crop as a general rule, is in good condition and
growing rapidly and the prospect for fair yield is
good Notwithstanding the adverse conditions which
have confronted the farmers If cotton brings ten
cents pound next fall it will yield fair profit to
the producer
Corn is now in great demand the world over, and
not soon will it and other grains bring smaller
price than The corn crop in Terrell county
is promising and the oat and wheat crops were rea-
sonably good. Georgia this year has perhaps pro-
duced the largest cereal crops in many years. and
in consequence of this fact new flour mills
springng up all over the state, and those already
in existence are running at their full capacity and
cannot meet the demands made upon them. Nearly
every day wagons from neighboring counties bring
wheat to the mill on the Elladale estate farm in
Dawson.
Europe is very dependent upon this country for
something to eat, and will need our cotton to
cothe her soldiers as we'll as noncombatants and to
make ammunition for her big guns, and the indi-
cations good for the staple to bring fair price
even if the war should continue through the win
ter.
While the outlook for the future has its draw

Would Abolish Grade Crossings.

Senator John D. Walker, of the Twenty-ffth dis
trict announces that at the approaching session of
the general assembly he will introduce a bill to
abolish grade crossings in Georgia.
Mr. Walker would place the matter in the
hands of the state railroad commission, which
would be required to abolish safeguard all such
crossings and thus make it impossible for a repet
ton of the deplorable tragedies which have occurr-
ed recently in the state.
The bill would prohibit the building in the flu
ture of railways over highways or highways over
railways without the approval of the railroad COM
mission and leave with the commission the duty of
determining the method and payment of the eX-
pense of abolishing the present crossings 1t is Mr.
Walkers intention that the counties, municipalities
and the railroads shall share in the expense of do
ing away with the dangerous crossings. 1t is not
the purpose of his bill to do away with all the
crossings but the most dangerous ones.
We have noticed where some railroad is plan
ming to put warning bells at all crossings on It's
line mechanically arranged to ring when a train
is approaching, and this appears to be an eco
nomical plan where it is impractical to run the
wagon road over or under the railroad. The recent
fatal crossing accidents should certainly cause
both railroad and state officials to bring about
some plan to prevent recurrence of them in the
future.

The Bond Election.

The citizens of Dawson by their votes or failure
IN vote killed the proposed bond issue in the cleo
4ion last Tuesday and the municipal improvements
that were contemplated cannot be made. The
GREAT majority of the voters did not oppose bonds,
f1,t through apathy or neglect did not vote, and
thereby registered their voice against bonds or
the PAS registered voters only 191 of them went
IA the poIls of whom 1862 voted for bonds and 20
against them lacking only six votes of the re-
ouired two-thirds of the registered electors An
other indication that the bonds lost through lack
Of interest is the fact that little than half of
the voters of the city qualified for the election, and
ffty-six of those who did qualify did not vote.
The election demonstrates the fact that there is
small chance of carrying a bond issue-when there
is the least objection to it-On account of the
law recurring bonds receive twOthrds of the reg
istered votes if they carry While it is wise to throw
safeguards around the creation of bonded indebt-
edness it appears to be too much of inequality
do count votes not cast against bonds and make it
mossible for only 20 voters to defeat the will
of 1872 voters This may be law, but it is not dem
ocratic in principle, and should be changed so as
to REQUIRE two-thirds of the votes cast instead of
two-thirds of the votes registered, as it is now.
AS the law now stands it does not matter how
much in favor of bonds voter may be if he is sick
or otherwise prevented from going to the polls his
vote is counted against the proposition be favors If
his name is on the registration list. This is
an injustice and deprives a voter of his rights by
forcing him to vote against his convictions and
what he deems to be for the public good

An Increasing Menace.

The nearly fatal accident last Tuesday a public
highway leading out of Dawson in which an auto
mobile collided with buggy and threw three lady
occupants to the ground and seriously injured one
of them and badly frightened the other two, clearly
demonstrates that more caution should be used in
placing young inexperienced boys at the wheels
of automobiles Of course the accident was una
voidabe, and the driver and the owner of the car
sincerely regret its occurrence But this does not
Tecompense the lady for broken ankle and pain
and suffering. The fact remains that if the
car had been driven by an older and more expert
enced chauffeur one who would have known what
to do in just such emergency, the accident could
and would have been avoided. Engineers on rail
road locomotives and steamships are required to
before they put in charge of engines and so
are motoTmen trolley cars. The trains and
street cars have tracks on which to travel and the
public knows where they are to run. This being
true it is much more important for drivers of auto
mobiles to be required to go through a course of
training and reach an age of discretion before they
are permitted to run on a public highway used
by pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles as well
as motor cars. Life and limb are too sacred to be
JeopaTdized by automobiles driven on the highways
oy thoughtless boys and inexperienced persons. We
Understand that there is already a state law gov
ernlng the age of automobile drivers, and this law
should not only be rigidly enforced but should be
SO amended not only to require drivers to reach
an age OF discretion but to serve apprenticeship
as Well There is too little care exercised by drivers

erty' and as the number of automobiles daily in

A RefOrmer Who Learned.
From the Washington Star.


Bill Jenkins used to toll and think fer all
that he was worth,
His purpose bein' to get out an elevate the
earth.
He wanted reformation an he wanted it fer
fair,
An made his fellow man the object of his
special care.
If his fellow man was hungry Bill could show
him how the fact
Was due to some bad habit or some ill-consid-
cred act;
He was shocked beyond expression at the faults
that he could find
But wilin to be shocked some more to uplift
human kind
He drew comparisons 'twixt folks that didn't
get along,
An those who like himself seemed rather con-
ident and strong
He felt bit superior, and the feeling kinder
grew
That he hadn't no bad habits-leastways only
one or two.
Yet his schemes for reformation on a strictly
wholesale plan,
They didn't seem of value to his sufferin' fell
He sometimes gave expression to opinions al
most rude
To what he would refer as "the worlds in
gratitude
He took the failure to accept his good advice
to heart.
The folks admitted that his talk was mighty
fine and smart.
He didn't understand the ways of honest,
kindly care.
Great wisdom amt uncommon, but sympathy
is rare
He stopped an thought it over an his pulse
beat fast and warm
As he said, Il wouldn't wonder if it's me that
needs reform!
This world would surely hit pace that's gen
and good
If every one reformed hisself an done the best
he could"

BOTH UNSEEING.
From the Macon Telegraph.

Henry Watterson, the great political phlloso,
pher abiding to the early members of the W.
mans National Association for Unlimited Suffrage
says:
THAT Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton
and Susan B. Anthony were sincere women
eloquent in their deliVerances and energetic
in the pursuit of their ends-dOes not acQuit
them of signal errors of judgment and acts and
utterances altogether mistaken and cruel
Their detestation of slavery carried with it
the execration of all things Southern except the
negroes. They refused to see any racial diff
ference between the blacks and the whites
They justified servie instruction. If they
had been given their way Immediately after
the of the sections the rule set forth by
one of them that rebels have only the right to
be hanged and the right to be damn'd, would
have been very generally applied
NOW, this American Woman's Suffrage AS
ISOLATION of today is the offspring of the old
Lucy Stone, Cady Stanton and Susan B. An
thony society, whose opposition to the peculiar
institution led to every manner of political
vagary and sentimental excess The success
ors in leadership of the society founded in
1S4S have transferred the old hysteria against
African slavery into a state of emotional in
sanity for womans suffrage, the one as unsee-
ing and indiscrmnate as the other"
Henry Watterson abhors the change sought t
be wrought in Southern society. The old-time
religion is good enough for him. Listen to this
THE Courier-Journal plants itself upon the
blessed truth that woman was created to civil
ize and humanize man; that she is superior
being; that without her we should drop into
savagery; that without the ballot she has
achieved the crown of glory God designed for
her when He made her the moral light OF the
universe; the home-builder and shrne-mak-
er, securing to the man, to her children and to
herself, one spot on earth where love abideth,
which may not be invaded by the selfshneSs,
the hatred and the slime of rival ambitions,
within whose sweet and safe seclusion and re-
pose the religion of Christ may continue to be
cherished and taught and whence prayers Of
alteration and gratitude may still ascend to
heaven"
