Fruit Crop Safe Thus FarGeorgia Farmers Hustiing --Reduction of C o 11 o n Acreage Should be the Order of the Day?The Evid e n c e s of Prosperity in Lancaster, Town and Coun ty?Dr. Daniel's Lecture? Othpr Vtaffpro nf Tntprpct Mr. Editor: The cold snap a few days ago had the owners ot large fruit farms guessing and lovers oi the delicious Elberta wore beginning to think the peach crop would be "nipped in the bud", but we think very little damage was done. A splendid paper, the Golden Age, edited by Mr. W. D. Upeliiw, better known as "Earnest Willie" and published in Atlanta, is now being issued and will doubtless meet with popular favor, The paper lias a long list ol splendid contributors, including some of the ablest writ era in tlie south. We notice Hon. Harvie Jor dan is to address the Cotton Growers' Association at Lancas ter. lie is certainly making great efforts, through the associ ation, to raise the price of cot ton. If he can induce the larm ers to reduce the acreage ahout ten per cent, we think it will be 1 ot more advantage than holding 1 so much cotton. Such evidences of general | prosperity as various improve- 1 ments in the town of Lancaster, brigh prospects for a cotton mill ( at Kershaw and the railway from i Magill to Ileath Springs an assured thing, all "look good to us" Wish we would hear that address of L)r Uiinisl'f) nn t.lio "Southern Mule". We'll ven i turo lo say he will have a big audience and they will go baek home well pleased with their entertlinment, and satisfied they got their money's worth. The tallest railway conductor in America makes his home in our city and makes his daily run 1 on one of the roads leading out from here. Atlanta tries to claim ' everything out of the ordinary, but Macon has got her beat forty 1 blocks 011 this proposition sure. ' We have heard ot a preacher ' who having made a complete I failure as a preacher lias given it up and is now writing a book 011 t "Ilow to Preach" Somewhat 1 like the fellow who can always < give advice, but never does any- * thing himself, i Farmers in Georgia have cer tainly been making good use of ] the good wea'her recently and ] have done lots of plowing.
