Gustin versus Dickson. -
The true theory of cotton culture seems
not yet to be definitely settled. It is cer¬
tainly a great practical question to those
who grow the staple, to know the most
successful mode of perfecting its growth.
Wo do not profess to be able to shed
any light upon this disputed question ;
but purpose briefly to call the attention of
our readers to two opposing systems now
before tho public for their examination :
that of Mr. David Dickson of this county
and Mr. Gustin of Bibb.
For perhaps thirty years Mr. Dickson
has devoted his intensely practical mind
to the study of cotton culture, and formed
as he conceived the solution of the prob>
lera. Through the pages of that splendid
monthly, “ The Southern Cultivator,” his
views have been widely disseminated
through tho South; and having been be
fore the public for years, were being freely
adopted by intelligent planters in this and
adjoining States. It is certainly not say¬
ing too much to say that this plan of Mr.
Dickson’s, has made him one of the most
notorious men in the South. From far
and near the planter has visited him to
get from personal intercourse the full de¬
tails of it, and a correspondence has been
thrust upon him perfectly astonishing in
its magnitude. His plan, as is well known,
consists in thorough preparation by deep
plowing, liberal fertilizing, and a surface
culture with his famous “Dickson Sweeps.”
His rows are four aud a hull’ feet wide, and
the plants are loft standing about ten or
twelve inches apart in number* ranging
from one to tlireo i n a hill. The peculi¬
arity of bis system is, that hi B culture is so
conducted as not to interfere with the lab
era! roots of the cotton. His is a surface
culture. ' w **
But a new candidate for distinction of¬
fers to the public another and quite dif¬
ferent system. This is Mr. Gustin of
Bibb county, who has ceriainly succeeded
in convincing our brother of tho Macon
Telegraph, that he is on the right track.
And from all accounts his success is won
derful.
Mr. Gustin agrees with Mr. Dickson in
tho necessity for deep plowing in prepar
ing the land, and in the free use of ma¬
nures ; but in all other respects their sys*
tems are totally divergent. In the culti¬
vation of his cotton, Mr. Gustin uses a
“ subsoil lifter,” which breaks the land to
the depth of twelve or fourteen inches,
and from the beginning continues the
deep plowing, until bis crop is laid by.
Iiis rows arc six feet wide, and his cotton
stands three feet apart in the rows, thus
giving much greater distance for the plant
than JMr. Dickson. His is the system of
doep culture. He has Only a small patch
planted and cultivated in this way, but
tho yield from it the present year it is
thought will reach at the rate of four
thousand pounds per acre. It is but just,
however, to say Hat Here w« ooe .W
Band pounds ^uano put on the patch con
taining one-hnlfaoro
, ~ spectacle of 4 two
e men
becoming . famous for cultivating
cotton
upon plans directly the opposite of each
other. It must be said, however, that Mr.
Die Ws success has boon won in ,na Ung
splendid crops—not in cultivating “ small
plats.” Nevertheless, the dfbrte of Mr.
Gustin deserve especial attention, and his
experiment experiment w is worthy wormy of oi being ucing made made by uy all ail
who have any misgivings ns to the cor
reotness of the surface culture.
A writer in the Macon Telegraph speaks
of tho two J. plans thus:
„ “ Tm I consider this patch’-(Of e t Mr.Gus- v . ^
tin s)—“ a failure, because of the gouging,
root-cutting culture. It is not what it
• 'tight to U wiili the fertilizers used. It
is too late. The October frosts will catch

State Fair.
The preparations for the State Fair to
be held at Macon, Nov. 16, 1869,
said are
to be on a grand scale. The grounds
and buildings will all be placed in thor¬
ough repair and it is expected that 30,000
people will be in attendance; 10,000 of
whom it is thought will come from the
Northern and Western States.
llio incoming o! so many people from
abroad will iii itself constitute an event of
no trifling importance. Many will come
to sec how far we have recovered from the
ravages of war, what our social, political
and financial condition may be; doubtless
many will be influenced by the hope of
some fortunate speculation to be made
“down South, and perchance some who
have an excess of specie may come to in¬
vest in our cheap lands. The most of
them will look upon us for the first time
since the tide of battle rolled over our
mountains and valleys, and will certainly
carry back impressions which must be fa
\ online to us in the highest degree.
It is not within our power to compute
the importance to Georgia of this great
hair. Before the war when our people
enjoyed the blessings of prosperity, these
annual convocations contributed powerful¬
ly to the thousand undone resources of our
noble State. They brought about a con
flict of ideas and systems, and developed
a wholesome, competition fuvorable to our
agriculture, our mechanic arts, and all our
industrial resources. They brought the
representatives o’ every uiterest together,
into personal contact, and created a strife
among them which did no injury to the
individuals involved, but incalculable good
to the public.
Hoping the re-inauguratioa of the Stato
Fair will produce a similar state of things,
we trust it may be perpetual, that it may
be a permanent institution of our grand
old State.
And we trust that our people
will form a county club with as
many subordinate clubs as may be neces
sary, and have a large delegatioiisto repre¬
sent Hancock County “the banner Coun¬
ty,” in Macon on the occasion.
Wc cannot omit tbc expression of our
regret that the Executive Committee
have seen fit to extend tickets of invita¬
tion to such men as Bout*,tell and Butler,
and all others ct id omne genus. As invi
ted guests they have a right to
upon hospitable presume
treatment and the cour
tesy usually extended to gentlemen. They
are malignant enemies of the South and
will certainly receive no attentions from
men who are familiar with their record of
words and works against us.
But in spite of all such, we hope
Fair will prove of gieat benefit to Georgia,
rue Soulhern Commercial Con
Tins important body will meet in
ville, Ky., on the 42th October, and ira
•Dense preparations ar<*on foot by the cit*
izens to extend the delegates a warm
greeting. It is thought that this
tion will be the mast important which has
ever assembled in the South as it will do
much to give shapo to all enterprises look
ing to our commercial development and
the setting on foot and extending our Rail
Road facilities. The representation will
be very large, and many of the foremost
men of the South will be thereto contr.6

Our Sunday Letter,
“ Situation Wanted” for a Poor Woman.
From the Constitution.
3rr. Editor : I find the following pa**
thetic advertisement in a late number of
the Southern Christian Advocate :
“ A young lady, an orphan, sit**
wants a
uation us governess or nurse for small
children, or in almost any respectable ein
ploy went, where she can earn her daily
bread and heip another dependent upon
her. Address, * M. E. L./ through the
Advocate, giving post-office and address.”
This is the articulate cry of one woman
among thousands, for work to do, whereby
she may “ earn her daily bread.” There
arc many such advertisements, begging for
a *• situation as governess, or nurse, or in
any respctable employment.” There are
tens of thousands begging places, in their
hunger and wretchedness, who never ad*
vertiso. The inarticulate cry of these
thousands does not reach the public ear—
filled, as it is, with songs of syrens and
jargen of Babel-builders. In every coin>
muuity, there are these silent, sorrowful
and much-enduring women, wearying their
lives out of them, searching painfully, and
crying piteously for something to do. The
war has very largely multiplied these
heart-sick and perpetually disappointed
beggars for work. They embrace ail grades
of character known to the South. Beg¬
gared patrician and ignorant pleli an wo
men join in this cry, “ give us work to
do.”
This advertisement is to me a mournful
thing. Women do not advertise in this
way for “ any respectable employment,”
until they find themselves in great straits.
Here is “ a young lady, an orphan,” hav¬
ing doubtlessly “ know* better days,” who
is not willing to be dependent. Most
likely she has no one to depend on. The
strong paternal arm is palsied in death.
She has not only to care for herself—she
wants “ daily bread” for « another” also
“ dependent upon her.”
Aud now what answer will “ M. E. L.”
and her thousands of sisters get to these
advertisements for « situations,” and pe¬
titions for places in which to work out
this old problem of « bread.”
Shall we tell them to ply the swift neet
die ? There are more than enough needle
slaves already. We need—if an old man

how much soever they may be varied bv

may work for her daily bread and the heln

of old acquaintance, or of some respected
man to whom she may be kin,) with a
able patronizing tolerance that is itself intolcr>
I cannot be mistaken when I say,
that there is not a strictly fashionable cir¬
cle m any of our cities that would not
prefer for Us entertainments the veriest
“Hora MoFhmsey,” without mind or cul
ture, to the most noble and accomplished
Christian woman who “ earns her daily
bread by teaching school. If, occasion,
ally, society makes an exception in favor
of some teaching or working woman, that
it resolves t o pet, and welcomes her to the
penetralia of its favors, it is done out of
compliment to itself and not in recogni¬
tion of the favorite’s essential worth. °In
this case it is tho protege and not the
woman, that society receives.
I am glad, Mr. Editor, that you are
speaking out upon this great question of
work Jor women. May much good come
of it. Women need work to do, more
than they need the ballot. Suffrage will
not bles; help these women out of their trou*
it will rather multiply and compli¬
cate them. v
Tho great difficulty—hitherto lnsupera
ble—in the way of women finding « re¬
spectable employment” wheroby they may
“ earn their daily bread,” grows out of
those prejudices inherent in the very con¬
stitution of our society. It is easy to talk,
more or less eloquently, about the “ dig¬
nity of labor,” but people do not believe
in the dignity of labor. Let our wise men
consider this question. There are few
greater ones. It is infinitely more impor¬
tant than l hiuese or other immigiation.
Let our wise women, who control this
despotic society, consider this question ;
giving compassionate ear to the cry of
their sisters begging for work to do. It
is a nobler business than the study of
