HARVEST, IS LARGE, SAYS' ARP. , - , , HE WRITES OP THE ' GREAT - YIELD OP COTTON, CORN, AND TOBACCO. HE LOOKS'FOR BETTER TIMES Bartow Philosopher bewares Poli tics has Nothing to Do With the - Change. - " 1 - - - " - ". - - - I "I don't comnlain When the Lord sends rain, When the tanks in the sky runs over; For the rain von know Makes the corn to grow, And gives a lift to the clover." But my humble friend Cobe says we've had 'bout enxxf and he wants it to stop right now. " We' ve had a 'boundance," says Cobe, and I'm afeerd there won't be any nubbins to feed th. steers on this winter and no sed taters to plant next spring."' Another one. horse farmer says he is afeerd he will make more cotton than he can get picked out. Was thej ever such a bountiful crop year? Wheat, corn, cotton, po tatoes and fruit! Mr. Roberts,4 who farms on Pumpkin. Vine creek, says he feels sure of 1,000 bushels of corn from one field of ten acres that he can select one two acres that will vield 120 bushels each and there are several square rods that will make a bushel to the rod. That would make 160 bushels per acre, if every rod was as good. Mr. Roberts is no brag. He is a conservative, truthful man ... and a good farmer. Mr. Akerman made twenty two bushels of wheat to the acre right in the suburbs of the row n and he has more beautiful fruit than was ever grown here be fore. Or r market is running over with good things apples, peaches, pears, grapes and melons. Country wagons drive to the residences every day loaded with delicious fruit and you can buy at your own price, for the supply is greater than the de mand. We luxuriate on soft peaches and cream, which is the next best thing to strawberries and cream, and we buy fine, large cantaloupes at a nickel apiece. Old folks lose their relish for meat, but they never get tired of fruit. I was ruminating about the kindness of Providence in arranging the succession to suit our health and appetite. Strawberries rasp perries, dewberries, huckleber ries, blackberries, June apples, cher ries and then peaches and grapes, with melons thrown in, and before long the town will be flooded with apples. Oh, the jelly and jam and preserves that my folks have put up, and the sugar that I have had to pay for. Thank goodness 1 bought it - before the McKinlev trust cornered the market. A clever Repu blican . neighbor told'me that the Almighty was smiling on the land because good men were now in power and he quoted scripture which said when the righteous are in power the people rejoice.' "Vps 39 said J .f.Vio AhvrU o .i scripture to suit.his purpose. David understood the s situation when he said: 'I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green bay tree, yet he passed away, arid lo he was riot.'" . . .. x unu At nuiua LUC XJlJI li IN MMvirifT , . s , I J "Q much attention to congress or the administration, but He does seem to have . pity on the , people, and. is v-? 1 here was - a campmeetiug story tnat old Allan. Turner told when was a boy that I have-not forgotten. He was preachingvabout the perils of riches and said there was a good old - darkey who had a kind but : nn- Christian and skeptical master, and he tried m his . humble way to con vert him, but his master only laughed . at- him and one dav said :. to hi m : "iNow, Uncle Jack, if the Lord is so wise and sogood and loves us ail so much as you say, what riiakes him let Jiui Austin get sorich and keep ou. buying .more land and, more nig: gers and. mules,, when you know that Jim Austin is the meanest , man in the coun ty. . He swindles his neigh bors and oppresses the poor. llo drinks and gambits and curst s, bu everything he touches aiakes him richer and richer. How do you." ex plain that?" . . "Master! master!" said Uncle Jack "dat is all jes' so.and it's becaus' de Lord don't keernothiu about Jim Austin, hs name ain't on de book No, eir,Jde Lord ain't payin' no ten- tion to him at all and de debil is run- nin' him. No, masterl I tell you how it is. When de Lord take a likin' to a man and got his name on de book, He don't let him git fat and' slick like Jim Austin. Whom de Lord loveth he chastiseth, and dats de rea son your girihuse git burned up and your buggy mare ' die, and maybe dats why Miss Juliann take ,'sick away oft at school and come home in de coffin. She was a blessed child; she was, and seems to me dat some times away in de night I hear, her callin' you. Master, old Jack don't like to trouble you about-dese t'ings and he wouldent ef your name was ent on the book." , . Uncle Allen used to finish up the story with the master's conversion and Jim Austin being killed.' Better times are coming, sure enough, but politics has nothing " to do with it. Politics dident give us a great crop of wheat and a short crop in Europe. My friend Kirkpatrick, of Atlan ta, says . the revulsions in trade and prosperity go by cycles of seven years and that our cycle of dis tress and disaster has about expired. He almost; proves it by reference to the past and tells how the failure of Jay Cooke precipitated the panic of '73, aud our trouble lasted seven years, and the failure of Baring Brothers brought on the next panic and that lasted seven years. But wheat and cotton are filling the farmers' pockets with money and by the time this cotton crop is mark eted a new era of prosperity will, be fairly on us. Within the last three months the mining business has re vived in our county and labor is in demand; nobody, neither white or black, is going about begging for work in this region. I ha vent seen a tramp in six months. The gardens are teeming with vegetables and flow- ers are more Deautitul and more abundaut than ever before, but Mc Kinley dident do it, nor the tariff nor his nartv. If thev won t undo t is all we ask. Just let things alone. Thev sre determined to hu miliate the south, but as long as the ml w Loru smiles on us we will be con tent. -Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitu tion. .
