The total value, of all animals
on farms in the United States in
1899 was $1,718,865,561. The
crops were worth $2,988,704,412.
The live stock consumed $974,940,-
616 worth of provender. of e.very
description, while* $2,028,V68,796
represents the. value nf crops mar
keted and kept for the use oE pro
ducers. Farm aud animal prod
ucts represent the wealth, the
bone and sinew, of the majority
of our Southern States. These
products feed the entire country
and And their way to foreign
shores. Therefore information
concerning them must prove of
interest to the public.
Georgia’s output of all farm
products for 1899 was valued at
$104,804,476.. Live stock con
sumed $12,158,800 of these prod
ucts, while $92,145,676 represents
the value of those marketed. All
animal products in Georgia were
worth $17,959,188; forest prod
ucts, $8,917,119; all orops, $88,-
128,224; acres of ail orops, 8,412,-
907. It will emphasize what
Georgia is doing in an agrioultu-
al way to compare the figures
given with another Southern state.
The valuation of all farm prod
ucts in'Tennessee is given at $106,-
:.66,440. Live stock consumed
$18,480,810 of this product;. That
state’s animal products were val
ued at .$35,421,198; forest, 5,086,-
624; crops, $65,658,618; acres of
all crops, 6,890,550. It will be
noticed that Georgia only exceeds
Tennessee in the value and acre
age of all crops. In the value of
all farm products, amount fed tq
live stock, animal and forest
•products, Tennessee had a good
!ead over our .state. It is some
what surprising Georgia should be
so much behind Tennessee in the
value of forest products, wheu we
consider the relative sizes of the
two states. Wc have 17,280 more
square miles than our sister state,
an area larger than New Hamp
shire and New Jersey combined.
We exceeded Tennessee too, by
200,000 in population.
The, figures for Alabama will
probably prove interesting. The
total value of farm products, $91,
887,409; fed to live stock, $10,
095,690 in provender; animal
products, $18,196,689; forest
produces, $2,494,452; va^ue of all
crops, $70,1396,268; acres in all
crops, 6,792,868. Alabama makes
a very good showing, but does
not equal this state. Georgia
seems to be behind in the several
products of the farm, more so
than in the field crops. Our
farmers have neglected the more
general for the particulars. But
there has been a perceptible awak
ening in past two years, and we
expect good results.
Cleveland tf Fruitful Topic.
V Savannah Nows.
The politicians and the news
papers are finding Mr. Cleveland
aiid his supposed oandidacy for
the presidential nomination of
his party a fruitful subject of po
litical gossip and news. In pretr
ty nearly all parts of the country
men prominent i,n public life are
giving their opinion of Mr. Cleve
land and his chances for being at
the head of his party’s ticket in
1904. Even Senator Quay, the
Republican boss of Pennsylvania,
couldn’t withstand the tempta
tion of expressing his opinion as
to what course Mr. Cleveland
should pursue if he .really wants
to be a presidential candidate.
“He must not appear too eager
for it,” says the astute M.t. Quay.
“He should put himself in the
position of a receptive candidate.
He. should say positively that he
is not a candidate, and then, if he
should become a candidate, be
would develop .in the convention.
I do not see muoh chalice for him
if he should engage in a fight for
the uolniuation, since he is a
leader of one of the factions of
his party, but if he gets the nom
ination it must come to him on a
silver platter.” A majority of
the politicians will doubtless agree
that Senator Quay is about right.
Hon. Henry Watterson has ta
ken a new viewof Mr, Cleveland’s
supposed' candidacy. He says:
“The milk in the Cleveland coco
nut is J. Pierpont Morgan, and
when Morgan puts his hand to a
job, be it a railway merger, a ship
combine or a presidential boom,
it were well that prudent men
made note of it.” Has Mr. Wat
tersori .guessed it? ,i He thinks he
•has. It is his opinion that Mr.
Morgan and other financiers pro
pose to make Mr. Cleveland the
Democratic candidate, put up the
money ueoesstiry to enable him to
carry New York, New Jersey, Con
neoticut and the one other electo
ral vote necessary to elect, rely
ing on the solid South, reduced to
a choice between Roosevelt and
Cleveland, to take Cleveland.
A1.1 this makes interesting read
ing, As to the amount of truth
there is in it-, each reader oaii
form his own opinion. In the
meantime Mr Cleveland is fish
ing, and keeping his own counsel.
Doubtless the speculation of Mr.
Quay, Mr. Wattferson and hun
dreds of others just as prominent
amuse himbis he baits his hook.

The Fifteenth Amendment.

Providence Journal, v
In the rancor whioh followed
the civil war the experiment was
tried of admitting the uewly
emancipated race to a full and
uutrammeled Blmre in the electo
ral franchise. Undoubtedly, some
approved the experiment in the
delusion that it wa9 an act of jus
tice. But justice played no part
in its enforcement during the
dark days of reconstruction; in
dignities that most northerners
now regret were, heaped upon the
people of the vanquished south,
and license' rather than liberty
was what the negro indulged in.
Most assurdedly, the experiment
has failed. No detijal will or can
obliterate the fact. The negroes
as a mass were not then, and are
not vet, fit’ for the suffrage; It
is inevitable that they should be
deprived of it, and any attempt
to oppose the efforts in the south
to find constitutional means to
eliminate them .from politics will
in the end be of no avail. It will
do no more t.haii, complicate and
postpone the inevitable solution
of a problem that ought to be
left tp the south, whioh under
stands it, to ^olve. The relations
between the two raoes are not
properly adjusted. Those who
say that they can b'e properly ad
justed along the lines of the fif
teenth amp fidment are the blind
who will n ot see,

that “race equality does hot ex

of negroes, just like the wnites,
desire a separation of races, and
that “the whites of the South, es

true friends df the colored race.”

Too Great a Risk.
In almost every neighborhood'
someone has diedj from an attack
of colic or cholera morbus, often
before medicine could be procur
ed or a physician, summoned. A
reliable remedy for these diseases
should be kept at hand. The risk
is too great for anyone to take.
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy has undoubt

Japan has not so much faith in

seems to regard as an inevitable

Some ten or twelve Australians
who went to South Africa to in
vest about $150,000 in farmihg
lands, not as a syndicate, but as
separate settlers, have returned.in
disgust to their. own land. The
general complaint is that the land
is held by the British government
at too high a figure. This is due
to the fact that enormous prices
were Mid to the, Dutch for the
land by the imperial government,
which is finding it corresponding
