The Rome Courie-
FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 22.
. Rome Ga., Sept. 12th, 1871.
Editors Godrier:
Not many days ago two of our citizens
met in front of my door, one a Professional
men, and the other a merchant, and entered
into a conversation, the substance of which
I will give you ae near as I can remember,
I listened to every word that passed, lor
was on* I felt deeply interested in.
P. Did you attend the Rail Road ir eetiDj
few days i go at the City Hall?
M. No, for I had o'her fish to fry.
P. So did I, but I felt it to be my duty
to attend and encourage the enterprise by
my presence, if in no other way.
M. I am glad you did, and I hope you
give the enterprise some substantial en
couragement; for I am anxious to have
the Road built, and that at as an early day
as poasible, for it is a very important
for Romo and this section of the couulry
P. I am glad to hear you talk so; I sup
poae you will take stock if you have not
already done so. For you merchants aro
as much, if not more directly interested in
the building of the Road, than any othe
class, especially, those who own real estate
here like you.
M. I have made it the rule and praetico
of my life, to toat my own skillet, and con
troll my own money, and let tlio.-e build
Rail Roads, that wants them, for they will
benefit me just as much as if I were to help,
except in dividends.
P. Do you believe that is right( can
you reconcile it to your feelings, to act in
that way? Suppose every man hid made
that the rule of his life, what progress
would wo have made, and what would have
been our condition to day?
M. Perhaps you can better imagine
than I oan discribe it to you.
P. That is not the way to answer ques
tions ; I will ask you another. You admit
that the Road would be of great benefit to
Rome, and this section ot the country?
Are you willing for the City Council to
aubscribe liberally to all enterprises, that
will benefit tho City, and county, and that
will cnchance the value of our real estate,
and insreasc our population, and bring
you customers to buy your goods?
M. No, I am opposed to that way, of
raising money to do anything, for I
now taxed $40,00 to pay for those W;isr
Works, and to the salary of a Deputy
Marshall, when there is no more use for
him than a cart has for the fifth wheel
and every body I hear say anything about
it admits it to be so.
P. I fully agree with you in reference to
the Deputy Marshall. The city council
ought not to impose him ujon us at this
time in our present condition, but don’i
you believe that the building of the Water
Works, will enhance the value of our prop
erty, and be a great saving in the way of
insurance when completed?
M. Yes I believe all that, but I am by
them as I am by Rail Roads, I don’t like
to be made to do a thing, I don’t want
to do.
P. None of us like to do that, but you
ought to be willing to pay the tax, you ad
mit will benefit you so much. Don’t you
believe your property will be worth $1000
more the day the Water Works are com
pleted, than it is now?
M. Yea I would ask at laast that mueh
more for it if it were for sale. But pray
tell me what benefit do we derive from
paying $75 per month for a Deputy Mar
shall.
P. As to the Deputy Marshall,
regard as useless, especially at this
time the money could be appro
priated to a much better use, but that is
□ot the question before us, one thing at a
time and we will get along faster.
You admit that when the Water
Works are eompleted that it will increase
the value of your property at leost $1000
and lessen yonr insurance to a considerable
extent, and yet you arc opposed to paying
the $40,00 for it?
M. Yea I am for reasons already given
P. That is a very strange position for a
man of your sense and business tact to
take.
M. It may appear strange to yon and
your sort, but to me it is not.
P. I suppose you want the tVater Works
and all the Rail Roads which you acknowl
edge ought to be built, and will enhance
.■ the value of your property, and bring you
euatomers to buy your goods built without
your aid either directly or indirectly with
• out its costing you a cent ?
M. You can suppose what, or as much
as you please, I prefer toting my own ski!»
lett, and you are at liborty to go and do
likewise, if you choose.
P. I am aware of that, but my dear sir,
how can I, cf any other good citizen, do it
when we see others sacrificing their time
and, money, te build up our waist places
developing our vast resources, building up
our city aad country around us, increasing
tho value of my property, as well as theirs,
Can I stand idio and do nothing, no sir, I
must throw aside my skiilett, and do torne-
thing to help further the enterprises. If I
have no money, I can always find something
todo. If all would do this all those cn-
terpriaes would soon be put through, onr
city built up, and would soon take her
place long side of the first cities in the
South iu a commercial and manufacturing
point of view, but skiilett toters will never
do this. Throw yours aside mv friend, bo-
fors you get besmeared with its smut.
M. Call me by what name you please, I
made my money by running the schedule
indicated, and I expect to run it and re
main here. Your opinion not withstaod-
iag.
. P. Ido not object to your remaining
her*, I hope you will, and hone you will
see the error of yonr way, and change your
schedule, and enable us to get up severe
others, one from here to Decatur, one to
Cbattanoo a, one to Colnmbus, one to
Gainsville, one to Morganton, North Car
olina, and one to Mobile, 1 want you to
stay here, for it appears that every city
and community is destined to have more
or less ofyour sort in it, we might not get
as hopeful a case as you are, for I believe
you will yet do your duty.
/I hope you will find the ways . and
means to accomplish all you speak of, and
may live long to enjoy the beneficial results
of it.
P. Thank you, we will find the ways
And meaos to build them. You will then
claim the right to enjoy it id common with
all others will you not ?
M. It will be my privilege to do so, if
I choose, and I generally eajoy them to the
fullest extent, aud ask you nor no body
else any odds, sir.
P. And at others expence, and if any
one of those who bare the hnrthern aud the
heat of the day in spending their time and
money in increasing the value of your
property, should want some ot it, yon
would add on the increase value of it,
and you with your skiilett on your back
demand it as a right. I have my opinion
of all such men.
M. You arc entit'ed to your opinion
and I have the same right to he governed
by my owu.
I’. It would be far better for you to be
governed by that secret monitor within
which no doubts admonishes you to throw
aside your skiilett, and toat something
larger than self, and praclice a more liberal
and a manly disposition, and not bo dis
posed to let others be the "hewers of wood
and drawers of water,’’ for you if they were
so disposed.
M. I am‘as liberal and as anxious to
see Rome prosper as any man in it.
P. Pray tell me wherein; I have known
you a leng time, and must say you have a
poor way of showing it, only by a desire
for others to do all that is necessary to
mako her prosper without its costing you a
cent. Your liberality consists in takin:
advantage, of any and all beneficial results
arrising from enterprise built up by
others. You say you made once your
money here; that is true, but you never
was known to subscribe a dollar to any of
those enterprises that has built up for you
a good business, and made you what you
are.
M. That is none of yonr business sir, if
I had not, and never do.
P. I think it is, for as citizens of Rome,
our interests are mutual, and arc partners
to a certain extent, the building of those
roads will enhance the value of your prop
erty as well as others, and therefore you
are under as many obligations as I am, to
help, and under more than many, who have
already subscribed to stock, and helping
in every way they can. They are benefit
ing you, and I do say. and you can’t deny
it You arc honorably bound as a good
citizen, to come up and do your part in
building them, there is yet much to do
but a few of us cau do all, if ail will help
to the extent of their interest it can, and
will be done, and all will be benefited
alike, and to a greater extent. But
fortunately for yours and some others (ol
whom betters things, should be expected,)
uuwillingness to lend a helping hand in
time of need almosts effectually ties
hands, and paralyzes our efforts, you know
this, still you hold off hoping it can, and
will be done without any assistance from
you, yetyuo say it is nine of my business.
Here the conversation closed by a triend
coining up and M. left.
I would like to offer a few words in the
way of comments, but time aud space for
bids.

[From Tho Plantation.
The State Agricultural Convention—Its
Name Inappropriate.
Rome, August 15, 1871.
To the Editor of tlui Plantation’.
The great State Agricultural Convention
of Georgia has met—and it has adjourned.
It is a good organization, has done good, is
doin r good, and will do good. I will not
criticise, because 1 have neither desire nor
ability for such work. I can but endorse
the opinion of an illiterate freedman of our
town, who was observed to bo a close at
tended on its meetings, and after its ad
journment, was asked what he thought of
its proceedings? He replied, “There were
many cood things said and done. The
war has destroyed the lives of hundreds of
thousands of good men, but Buncomb still
lives.”
In so large an assemblage of men as this
was, it is rare to find such a combination of
diversified talent and intellect as was dif
fused throughout this body. The theoret
ical Agriculturist, the practical Farmer,
the Mechanic, the Lawyer, tho Doctor, tho
Politician, the Statesman and Divine—
but one single advocate of Mineralogy, and
ho rather too modest for the occasion.
Without intending to be obtrusive or
impertinent., there is a thought or two that
has made a lodgement on our brain and
home in our heart, that possibly may be
turned loose without giving offeusc or do
ing harm to any one:
1. Can the Georgia State Agricultural
As ociation accomplish the “mission where
unto it is sent?” Properly constructed
and untrammeled, it can. What do we
mean by “properly constructed?” We
mean that its name and its Constitution
should bo altered, and its scope enlarged
so as to embrace the three great, leadin
Industrial pursuits of life, to.wit: Agricul
ture, Minerology, and Mechanism. To
these three, all other Industrial pursuits io
life arc subordinate. They, alone, are the
three productive pursuits of life, and their
magnitude and importance to human inter
est aud happiness stands in thcorder above
mentioned. Just here, the advocates of
Mechanism might demur; but I shall not
now stop to debate this question—“suffi
cient unto the day is the evil thereof.’
Then, if we arc right, would it not be well
to change the name and Constitution of
the Association to that of “The Georgi:
Agricultural, Mineralogical and Mechanic*
al Association?” But it may be said that
Mineralogy and Mechanism are neccssari*
ly included. Not so. They aro not ger-
main, either to the name or Constitution.
As well might Conuneice, Law and Medi
cine be included under the present name
and Constitution—indeed, any and every
other Industrial pursuit of life. Tho God
of Nature has so organized h'nnan society
and human civilization, that the three aro
mutually dependent, the one cn the others
for efficiency and success. The life-blood if
each (so to speak) is commingled with the
vitality of each other, so that the death of
one would be fatal to all. They are triune
sisters—yea, more; they are Siamese-Twin
sisters. If this be true, why not embrace
the whole within the legitimate scope of
the Association? Would not the concen
trated cuergies of the friends and mom ers
of each accomplish more good than the di
vided efforts of the three, senefately—es
pecially when they are so linked together
that the success of the one ins ares the pros
perity of all, sod the adversity of the one
is felt throughout tho ramifications of all?
2. What do we mean by being “uDtramr
melled?” Now, in this paragraph, let jjs
go slow. The able and talented President
of tho Convention, General Colquitt, at the
opening of the Convention, in hys hand
some address, os we understood him, in
substance, said—“That the great and lead
ing cause of the dilapidated condition and
unhealthy status of Southern Agricul.
tare was the disorganized state of the Labor
System of the South, produced by the late
‘unpleasantness’ between the North and the
South.” That the derangement of the
producing, to some extent, the present un
healthy condition of Southern Agriculture,
we readily admit; bat that it is the prima
ry, or leading cause, we do not believe.
President Colquitt very ably illustrated the
fact of its existence, but, we think, assign
ed it to the wrong cause. He justly and
truly said, “That, upon an inspection of
the great body of Southern farms, it would
bo found that the fen.-ings were in a very
dilapidated condition; the plowing and cul
ture were bad; tho manuring and restora
tion of the lands were neglected and over
looked. That, in consequence -f the trou
ble and uncertainty of procuring adequate
labor, the great body of the farmers were
farming and planting by the year, and for
the year only. That they were offering
and trying to sell their lands, with a view
to raise funds to make investments in other
business. In fact, that they were doing no
good improving beautifying and repair
ing the homestead, bnt, by wear and tear,
were absolutely retrograding.” This is nil
true—religiously true, and much more.
In order to turn loose the thought that
is in our mind, and the sentiment that lies
iu our heart, we must be permitteltomake
a sort of analysis of Southern Society aud
Southern Civilization. In this analysis, we
do not intend to embrace what is known as
the Carpet-bagger and Scalawag—for all
know that they constitute the real camp-
followers, caring not a farthing whose camp
they follow, so there are loaves and fishes
in the baggage-train; nor do we intend, in
this analysis, to include our colored popula
tion—for all know “they fought bravely.”
1. There are the “Accept the-Situatiou”
men. They do not say or do much, but
take it out mostly in thinking and in action.
Sometimes, in their charitable moments, a
smile of hope is observed to light up their
faces; but when their strongest hope touch
es the heart and the judgement, their
brightest and most potent hopes fail to en
gender faith.
2. The “New Departure” men. They
are also, “Accept-the-Situation” men, but
are becoming tired c-f the “situation,” and
are making an effort to improve it, by
making slight concessions. Being tired of
the “situation,” they are for striking up
new line of diplomacy, in order to try the
power and effects of strategy; and upon its
results they have strong hopes, because
is new—yet, strong as these hopes may hi
they have not the potency to create faith
3. The "Died-in thc-Wool” Rebels.
These have no patience with “the situa
tion”—they have neither hope, charity
nor faith.
4. Next, ana lastly, are the Mums
They are rather sullen. They are waitin
for Patience to have her perfect work
They neither act, speak, nor commit, but
are hiding their time, and, Macawber-like,
are waiting for something to turn up,
They have slight hope, hut no faith that
will do to depend on.
All these constituent elements of South
ern Society and Southern Civilization arc
cx necessitate rei, “ Accept-the-Situation
men. Nearly all have more or less hope
and charity, but satisfactory, firm, and
abiding faith, is wanting in all.
Then, the upshot and secret of tho whole
matter is, the Southern people have no
faith in the Govereuient, which hangs ovt
them, swung upon the sword and the bay
onet. They do not feel that the Govern
ment guarantees to them any of the css in
tial elements of freedom and liberty, as they
understand it, from a Southern stand-point.
They all hope, but that hope is not rational
and strong enough to engender faith.
It is not material what enterprise may ne
proposed; without faith in its success, noth
ing valuable wil' likely be accomplished
The Government under which the South
now lives is ago7ernment not by the will of
the South; it is forced on the South by the
arm of power. There is not a man in the
South, whose heait heats with Southern im
pulses, who does not feel that the Govern
ment under which he is compelled to live
is cruel, heartless and unjust; and, under
this sense of his impotent condition, hi
manhood and self-respect, to a greater or
less extent, wilts before the fires of persecu
tion.
Then, if wc aro right, the dilapidated
and sickly condition of Southern Agricul
ture; the disposition to sell out our lauds:
to farm by the year only; and to invest in
something else besides planting, so clo
quentlyand truly depicted by President
Colquitt, is not attributable, mainly, to the
disorganization of the Southern Labor sy
tem, but the true cause lies deeper, and
will bo found more difficult to overcome.
No love, respect or faith in and for the
Government, forced on the South,and held
there by the strong arm of power.
The Southern element possesses the
power of recuperation, unequalled by any
other race of men known to the world’s his
tory. If you will allow a Southern man to
feel that he is frea; that he has the power
aud authority to make and execute ju
and wholsomc laws,to regulate the Labor
System of his country, the combined van
dalism of the world will not be much in
his way. He will promptly adapt his en
ergies to the emergencies of the “situation.’
But he demands that you shall Dot traui
mel his liberty—neither intellectually nor
physically—nor tarnish his honor.

Tuksip Fly.—Those who do best in grow
ing the turnip, experience more or less incon-
venienec from the fly upon tho vonng plants.
An English farmer says: “For the last fifteen
years, on sowing turnips, I provide, ready
slaked, one ton of lime to the acre. As soon
as the plants appear, the lime is spread from
a cart over the ynung plants in the rows. In
hot seasons the plants have had rough usage
from their tormenters, but sufficient plants
escape. I never missed a crop, nor have I
lmd to sow a second time. The lime must
bo pat on dry, and on a warm or hot dry day;
for, if any dew or moisture be upon the plants
they will he destroyed. The lime must he
ready to put on the moment the mischici
begins, for in the twenty-four hours of a hot
season the fly can ruin any crop; it is no use
then going for the lime.”
A California groom, on being asked if he
would take this woman to be his wedded wife,
replied with energy that the minister must
be a fool to ask such a question ns that,
adding "drive on with yonr business.”
A man in Wyoming says that ho never
discovered what a splendid woman his cook
was until his wife had been three nights
locked up in a jury-room.
Atlast accountsChicagowas drunk enough
to be arrested at the rate of 343 a week, and
they only take up a man there when he can’t
get up by himself.
“One of the most desirable sights in the
world is a parcel of old bachelors smoking,
spitting and growling about woman.” So
says a Western woman.
WALKER COUNTY.
fiSCTlic criticism of our fr.end, Mr,
Mitchell, on the prescut name of the State
Agricultural Society, would be just, if it
were not continued from a good reason:
The Society was originally chartered un
der tho name of “The Central Agricultural
Society,” and was designed to include all
the Cotton States. Iu course of lime, these
•States each formed Agricultural Societies,
and the name of our Society was changed,
by the Legislature, to the Georgia State
Agricultural Society. After the war,
convention was called, at Macon, iu which
were represented the State Society, the
Cotton Planters’ Society, the lmmagration
Society, and the Manufacturing & Mechan
ical Association. These were all merged
into the State Society, with the understan
ding that tho interest of each were to be
repie-tn'ad and considered in it. TL*
name “State Agricultural Society” was re
tained, as there wa3 an annual appropria
tion of $2,500 to it by the Legislature, and
it was deemed prudent not to interfere with
the name. When the proper time comes,
it will certainly be necessary to indicate,by
a change of namo, the enlarged scope of
the Society.—[Editor of “The Planta

Tile Court House aud County Records
Destroyed.
We loam from Mr. Rogers, of this city,
who was at Lawrencevillo night boboro last,
that the Court House at that place, together
with all tho County Records, were destroyed.
The fire occurred at about 1 o’clock, and be
fore the town was aroused it had made such
headway that it was impossible to save any
thing of value.
This was andonbtcdly the act of an incen
diary. A man was arrested on suspicion.
He was under bond to answer for some crim
inal offence. He had a box of matches and
a pistol on his person. Several men left
tqwn on horseback as soon as the alarm was
giv.cn, and went pff shouting nnd fireing off
pistols. It is believed that they are tho gang
which did the work.
The Superior Court was to have opened
thero yesterday, and this man’s case would
baye been brought up.
Considerable excitement prevails, and
strong efforts will bo made to capture the
inoendiaries.—Atlanta (Sun.
