Last Night. How the Credit S ystem Rous the Farmers. The re r . oit of the Cmmnissisncr of A gricu l - .nre of G eorgia for I-S7 shows a decrease from 1 5 S6 in the amount o f farm supplies p n r- >h»scd b y the farmers , as well as in tho indebtedness of tho farmin g classes jwin g fo the damaging floods last July , riiere is no impr eivement in the genera l condi- t ion of Mid dle Georgia , but North and East j eor gia have improved somewhat , while Senitli- ve - st Georgia remains at a standstill and the loutheastei n ce' u ntics hav. - n tro gated to somo jxtent. \I t is a remarkable fact , however , \ says Commissioner Henderson, \ that the farm- e r s in Southeast Georgia and throug hout the -vire gra s s portion of the State generally, for rears past have been in better condition than ;ho s e 111 the remainder o f the State. \ The r e- port also shows that fanners who have l>oiight bacon and corn on time ha ve paid 3) per .cut . idvance on c ost prices for bacon for four months , e i piivik - nt 10 90 per cent, per annum , j r 7 1-2 per cent, p er month , a nd :'M per cent. tor corn equal to 1 05 per cent. ) >cr annum , or 0 percent, per month. Th e Commissioner says the se figure s have been published for 10 y e ars past and yet th ousands of farmers continue to pay the excessive p rices. The falling o ff in the purchase of supplies indi cates that the farmers are giving more at- tention to diversified crops. The impr eivement in t his respect though small is gratif y ing and justifies the hope that it will be much more marked in the near future. Tho. f armem will get further and further away from the credit system b y giving more attention to the pro- In ction of such supplies a? they can produce it home. The credit system keeps them poor. A Blow to the Canal.

News of at tacks made on the coal cars of the Union Pacifi : road by settlers along the line in the w estern part of the State who are suf- ferin g for want of fnel have been received at the company ' s headquarters at Omaha.

For some time past there has been trouble at Pop lar leland , Chesapeake Bay, because of the trespass of dredging boats on the grounds set tpart for to ngmen. A short time ago a marine howitzer was taken from the ste amer Gov. Mc- Lane of the oyster navy and placed on shore for the protect ion of the tonging grounds.
