THE STATE FAIR.
The writer was deprived of tho much-desired
privilege of attending the reoeut State Fair in
Atlanta. Business which imperatively demand
ed our proHenoe at home, prevented our taking
personal observation of that which we would
liko to describe to our readers. A fair, if prop
erly representing the resources and industries
of the great State of Georgia, would bo a graud
exhibition. Tho State lairs have never been
what you would call perfectly successful. It
will require many years of uutiViug effort on the
part of tho Stato Agricultural Society (together
with tlio experience which such effort briugs)
and tho universal, hearty co-operation of the
peoplo of tho State. Such a success has not
yet been realized. All large thiugs are of slow
growth, ami sufficient time has not yet elapsed
for tho grand ideal of a Georgia State Fair to
develop iuto a reality.
Wus tho reoeut Fair a success? Sumo of our
eotemporuries have spoken slightingly o! it. The
Ooluiubus Enquirer asserted beforehand that it
was going to bo a failure, and lias insisted all
the time during its progress that it was. But the
Etiqui er was evidently more anxious to main
tain its reputation as a prophet than to do jus
tice to tho Fair. Tho Macon Tolegtaph quotes
with apparent endorsement, tho Enquirer’s dis
paragement; but this may bo charged to the
heat of tho capital questiou.
We have takeu pains to enquiro, and have ob
tained what we have reason to think is a correct
and just estimate of the Fair. The display of
stock, poultry, machinery, manufactured arti
cles, fruit aud fiuu arts, has never beeu excelled.
The show of agricultural' products wus gener
ally considered very small; but this is only by
comparison, with former years, and may bo ac
counted lor iu this way: Heretofore there have
been large amounts of money offered lor tho
best display by nuy county. This has each time
caused several counties to send their products
in immense quantities. Cobb county sent to the
last Fair ten car-loads of her products, aud
others sent nearly as much. This year, tho
farm products were sent as samples, and lienee
the display w. s not so large as heretofore, al
though tho variety of specimens was as great
and their quality was up to ns high a standard
as ever. If the same inducements had been
offered for county displays, there is no rcasou
to doubt that the quantity of agricultural pro
ducts would have^bec-n larger than formerly.
Financially, the Fair was a complete succors.
The Association paid out handsomely. Ou
Friday, there were about eighteen thousand
visitors on the grouud, as shown by the receipts
at the gates. On tho whole, wo thiuk that the
Agricultural Society have great cause lor con
gratulation ou being so successful.
WHAT WILL IT PROFIT ?
What will it profit a man if ho makes a hun
dred bales of cotton, and pays it all out for ex
penses? What does it profit, ii a man 1ms an
income of a million dollars aud spends it all ?
It is the amount saved, aud not the amount
j made, wh ch makes men rich aud independent.
, The nmu who steadily lays by a sum every year,
| bo that sum large or small, is on the way to a
competency; while he who spends tho full
amount of his iucome every year, no matter
how largo that income may be, will necessarily
bo as poor at the end of life as at tho begin
ning.
It is noticed as an invariable fact, that those
farmers who raise cotton to the exclusion ol
provisions, never have anything to begiu the
new year with. Tho seasons may be propitious
aud the crops umy be luxuriant; but all that they
make is taken to pay for supplies. Ou the other
baud, it is a fact equally as noteworthy, that
those farmers who raise their own supplies are
always in a sound condition. Their credit is
good; merchants are anxious to sell to them;
they never have to go into bankruptcy; their
families can live iu comfort; their houses are
kept in good repair aud well furnished; their
stock is fat aud sleek; their miuds aro at peace,
and their sleep is never disturbed by dreams ol
| the sheriff’.
We are glad to say that gradually the former
class is decreasing aud the latter increasing, in
middle Georgia. Every year more aud more
meu are being converted to the sound policy of
raising supplies, ami every year more and more
sill plies aro made. Our pe pie are every year
less aud less in the bondage of commission
merchants and factors. May tho day soon come
when the sturdy farmers ot Georgia will make
not only what they need, but enough lor all
the consumers in tho State. Then, and not till
then, will we again be rich, as a people.
AS TO THE CAPITAL.
The burden of the song now is “two millions."
All the writers iu the State, who are ashamed to
sign their names to their articles,say a new cap-
itol must be built, if Atlanta is selected, and it
will be worth two million dollars. Tuese anony
mous wise-acres have no idea that a fine capital
can be put up lor auylhiug short ot a fabulous
sum. Wo can assure them, if the capital re
mains in Atlanta, there will bo a Hue capital
Greeted, it will cost inside of $250,000, and the
State won’t lnivo a cent of it to pay. Now, then,
is not our assertion more reasonu le than theirs?
Tho “Old Capital" publishes whole-column
articles iu reply to Mr. Ilill, but it still studi
ously avoids giving its readers a glimpse of Mr,
Hill’s arguments.
We have heard it slat, d that iu some parts of
Georgia, notably in Putnam county, the uogroes
are told that if the capital remans iu Atiuutn, a
new one will have to be built, which will cost
two million dollars; that every negro will be
taxed five dollars to pay for it; and that it this
tax is not paid they will bo put in the chain-
gang. Just such lies as this made tho negrots
the slaves of Radical leaders a few years ago.
Is it possible that white men, Democrats, Geor
gians, are playing upon the ignorauce of tho ne
groes in that nefarious manner? It would seem
incredible, aud yet the papers favoring ...illedge-
ville are trying to deceive their white readers by
the very same story, iterated and reiterated. It
is time to quit talking about the “dark doings"
of Radicals.
SLANDERING SENATOR LAMAR.
We regret to see that a slander of Senator
L^raar, published first in that rabid Radical
sheet, the New York Gruphio, is having a wide
circulation iu the South. We allude to this ex
tract, which we take from an article on “Lead
ing Senators:"
“Lamar is forever preach ing about political sincerity,
and bevailing tlio bypocriBy of tho timos, when ho is
himself au outrageous liyp< crito. He is like Ethan
Brand, iu Hawthorne’s story, tho man who sought
through all the earth for tho unpardonable slu, aud ut
last found it in his own heart.”
This is simply a slander, and tho reason of it
is found in tho hatrod of tho Graphic to any
thing which bears tho name of Democrat. Our
Southern papers ought to be more careful how
they publish extracts from papers hostile to the
South aud Southern leuders.
Dr. Duncan’s Death.—We publish this week,
a long communication from our esteemed cor
respondent H., on this subject. The lesson it
essays to teach is a sad one, and yet it is one
which ought to be learned not alone by Metho
dists, but by all tho churches. The lesson is
that the masses of the church thiuk more ol
their money than ol their men. Georgia Meth
odists have need of this lesson. Alas lor the
selfishness of human nature 1 Who will show
us a truly liberal church ?

DR, DUHOAN'd DEATH.
(to tmmm touted.)
Southern MothuiiiHin Iiuh no better mnn toloKc.
Tlie telegrams that brought tidings ot Jiuiiom A.
Duucuu’h death told us ot the grout lire in the
Patent Office in Washington City. Too loss by
tho lire can bo estimated to a dogroo. The
house euli bo lepuiitil for so much money. Bui
these losses cannot be coin pur ml; for lie worth
to Church and to society of such a man cannot
be crtlimutod. Our measuros of value arc inade
quate. The Church is wasteful of nun. Ami
the butter they me, the more prodigal she is.
Alas! our blindness and lolly. Wo thiuk we
economize when we hoard our money and waste
our men. But men tuo scarcer than dollars.
First-class mou aro rarer tliau first-class fortuues.
Such a man as Dr. Duucau is above all price.
For thoro is ho much difficult and necessary work
to bo done and so few that can do it. Thoro are
pleuty of plantation engineers who can throw a
loot-log across a brook; lew like Eads who can
span with a biidge of steel tho wide aud deep
Mississippi. Perhaps one in a million could do
it, it ho should give himself fully lo tho task*
It is doubtful it one iu a million can do such
work—so much ol it and so Well as tho late
President ol Kundolph-iMucou College did.
II the great St. Louis bridge should bo de
stroyed, Capt. Eades could ruplaco it. Money
aud skill auil work could make another, and
perhaps a belter. But Virginia cuuuot replace
Duucau. It look forty-seven years, with a thou
sand favoring conditions, to make him what he
was.
Less than two Mars ago Dr. Dunoan resigned
the Presidoricy ofUlflTJollcge because ho^elt he
could no longer eiiduro the strain of his heavy
work. There was so much difficulty in provid
ing for tho College that tho man took up his
bunion once more. And now he has laid'down
all burdens forever.
Dr. Duucau worked wonders for Randolph
Macon College. It was ready for burial at Boyd-
ton. Upon his eloction, and upon its removal
to Ashland, ho began to work lor tho College as
few mou could or would work, lio gave his
whole strength to his great task. Ho traveled
aud Bpoku aud wrote, all over Virginia aud Mary
land. Ile did not spare himself; ho flung his
whole sou iuto his work. Ho organized a splen
did Faculty and filled tho College with students.
Tho fame of tho College tilled tho Church, and
tho devoted President succeeded—iu part. But
never as ho wished or hoped. Great results
wero accomplished. But ho never realized his
hopes. Ho did all that could bo dono with tho
resources at his command. Perhaps no man in
the Church could have done so well.
Ho was praised everywhere. Praise is cheap.
Methodists, Vngiuiaus, Southern people, were
proud ol him—his energy, courage, eloquence,
power, success. Aud they let him work on to
tho end, with largo plans and small resources.
O, Pha-ruoh ! abut folly was thine ! Israel scat
tered over Egypt seeking stubble! But thou
didst demaud “the lull tale ol bricks.”
There was sore need of the College, there weiv
students, there were teaohers, there was a Prov
idential man to direct and inspire all. There
was everything but money uuder ihe College.
Everything but “the straw.”
The Loudon Spectator, commenting on the
beautiful character of Lady Augusta Stanley,
who died last year, pronounced this eulogy:
“Her heart was us large usher opportunity."
Dr. Duncan’s was larger than his opportunity.
Those who should have given him opportunity
as large his heart, did not use their own. Then-
opportunity was greater than their hearts. And.
alas! lor us all, they did more than most of our
people will do.
The night alter his death we re-read sonn
letters from our glorified friend. Here is one
dated “Furuisville, Vu., Juu. 2d, 1870." It was
partly in answer to some inquiries about the
method ol Bible study and t> aching employed
iu Randolph-Maoon College. Alter detailing
their plans, and desires beyond tin tr plans, he
said:
“Ah! the sad fact that that great and good
work cannot be done by us because the people
hold back the means. * * We poor Church
College people require our professors to d » too
much. [At ouo time L)r. D., besides all his
presidential cares, lectured aud taught five hours
u day.] Wo work them to death just to saw
money. It is a slmme. II I had the means
1 should have all the students taught Biblical
literature, and that too iu the most thorough
manner. But I am trying to have faith and hope
lor a ueur future that shall be more satisfactory."
There was in this man almost infinite hope
fulness. But “hope deferred rnaketh tho heart
sick."
Here is another letter duted “Ashland, Va.,
Juno 20, 187G," No reflection upon Virginia
Methodists is intended by tho use of this letter
here. For there are among us no better, no
more generous Methodists, than Virginia Meth
odists. The extract that follows is given on con
science. It could not bo published whilo its
author was still among us. But its lesson must
be learned. Perhaps it will never have stronger
enforcement than his death—his untimely
death—gives it. May we not say, “Hu being
dead yet speaketh ?” Some day the Church will
hear aud heed. But not, it is feared, till her
mills, which grind flue aud fast, have crushed
to powder a few score of hor best men. Wast
ing men to save money!
This second letter was written about the time
of his resignation. Let Southern Methodists—
not Virginia Methodists only, for it is too lute
for them—ponder his words:
“They worked mo here as Professor, aud
Agent, and President, etc., so above measure and
beyond strength that I have been constrained iu
justice to resign. So, at Conference, I shall go
bock to the pulpit. They cry out against resig
nation, but I answer, Gentlemen, I cannot do
impossibilities."
Then follow some statements of his views
about the importance to a College of appreciative
patrons.
Then, ho says: “How I have toiled aud suffered
for this College, God alouo knows. I saw the
Board would be generous enough to sacrifice
my life to it [and he knew how they loved and
trusted and honored him—thinking him iron
aud inexhaustible], unless I moved lor my own
protection. Now when they come to look nt it
they find it will take about three men to keep up
the enormous work I have been doing. From
year to year I expected funds would be given lo
relieve me. But tho rich men don’t give, aud
the poor can’t."
How he loved the College ! After all his die-
appointments, weary and worn almost to death,
he says: “lam anxious about the College, and
shall do all God’s grace puts it iu my powor to
do."
His peoplo did much for him. They praised
him, cheered him, believed iu him, sympathized
with him—as they supposed. They “resolved"
for him and “promised" to him. No doubt they
prayed lor him. They did everything they
could do but give him the one thing such a Col
lege must have to do its work: a generous, pro
ductive endowment—money to pay the best
workers, aud enough of them.
Then follow a few modest words about his ad
dress before the General Conference in Balti
more iu the preceding month. But before t. u
letter closes he returns to his beloved College.
His heart was full ol it. Very touching are the
words that close this letter, just as ho resigned,
and, as he then thought, for good. Looking
buck over eight years of hurd toil, aud contrast
ing his great pluusfcwith the results possible to
hiiu,he says:
“I urn sad when I think how for eight long
years 1 fought for a glorious Methodist College,
to be established ou a high platform, and had
no geuerous support by our people iu this
battle." Ilis hope was not dead eveu then.
“But I do not give it up; I only change my base,
aud hope to see the victory yet."
But, he is dead.
He took up his burden agaiu. His life-long
frioud, tho Rev. Dr. Douuett, of the Richmond
ChiiHtiiiu Advocate, in au editorial ou his death,
says:
“l)r Duuoan had a physical constitution and
vital loroe which ought to have carried him to
niuty er a huudred years. •••••••
InoesHunt work iu tlio lecture-room, and as man
ager of the College, and constant preaching and
lecturing during tho sessions and vacations, lelt
no time for the loeuperation of his vital powers,
ami they gradually gavo way under tho Rtrain ol
such a life, lie died in the harness literally,
and in tho work which tho Church gavo him to
do. Wo havo hoard that he said Homo tiino ago
—and tho romaik is ouo that ho might well have
made—T havo dono nil I can do for tho Colloge
except to die for it, and if 1 do that, mnybo our
Methodist peoplo will oomo forward and sustain

NINE EXPLOSION IX SCOTLAND.
London, October 22.—A special dispatch from
Glasgow to tho Pall Mall Gazette says au explo
sion occurred iu the colliery a - High Blantyro
yesterday, noar this city. Four .huudred men
wore iu tho mine at tho time and a largo number
of lives wero lost.
ALL THOUGHT TO BE DEAD.
New York, October 22.—A Glasgow dispatch
says tho exploring parties who havo boon ut
work endeavoring to succor thoso iu tho mine,
havo littlo hope of rescuing any alive, and express
tho opinion that every ouo in tho pit is dead.
Ouo survivor says the bottom of tho pit is full
of dead bodies.
TWENTA DEAD BODIES RECOVERED.
Glasgow,October 22.—It is feared the entire
lour huudred uieu iu thooolliery at High Blaut-
yre have perished. A special train was sent
to bring the injured to tho Glasgow Iufirwury,
but it has returned, no one having been gotten
out alive. Tweuty doud bodies havo beeu recov
ered.
LATEST—233 THOUGHT LOST.
Glasgow, October 22.—The latest particulars
from High Blunt\ re, show that two huudred
aud thirty-threo meu descended iuto the mines
this moruiug. Nona of these except one who was
working near the shaft at tho time of the explo
sion, had beeu resound up to a late hour thiB
evening. Very little hope of resouiug the men
is entertained, as tho explosion occurred at nine
o’clock iu the morning, uud the exploring par
ties had to relinquish their efforts iu ouo pit ut
lour o’clock iu the evouiug, because ol tho pois
onous guses at tho bottom of the shaft of Uie other
pit, the colliery comprising two pits with com
munication between them. A hunt kuockiug
Lias beeu heard, but so lur, it has been impossi
ble to reach the bottom ol the shutt.
London,October 23.—The latest intelligence
from High Blantyro colliery is to 11 o’clock
Monday night. Thu shaft, at the bottom ot
which tho knocking was beuid, is rapidly col
lapsing. The explorers coubuqueutly are at
tempting to re opeu communication from the
other luiuo. They have peuetruted about hull u
mile, but st;ll have 150 fathoms to clear, so they
Cannot possibly reach tho meu who are supposed
to be imprisoned before morning. It is feared
by that lime that lew, if any, will reumiu alive.
Four miners were recovered alive nt 11 o’clock,
but so exuusted Ibut one died before morning
and the case of unolhtr is thought hopeless.
Mining experts express tho opinion that all the
men remaining iu the pits have perished, but n
any are alive no rescue party can reach them in
loss than eight days. Thu work of bringing up
the dead Was resumed thi<- moruiug. The bodies
louud are fearfully burned and mangled, show
ing the explosion was «»t terrific violence.

The intolerant uud abusive oourso of sonn
oi the fiieuds ol Milledgevillo will not
help their cause. Such a course, without rea
son, always hurts those who pursue it. They
are now making Horn B. 11. Ilill au object ol
attack because of his late letter favoring Atlanta.
Tho Milledgevihe Union accuses him ot being
influenced by property iuterest iu Atlauta, by
favors shown him by the people of that, city,
and by “a feeling sense ol favors to come." A
correspondent of ihe Old Capital attacks Mr.
Hill’s Democracy because of his letter, and
says that his “motive as well as his pocket-in
terests iu this matter" are to bo questioned. All
this, tho people will bear in mind, is simply be
cause Mr. Hill differs with them ou tho capital
question, und has exercised his undoubted
right of giving his reasons lo the people. When
he made a speech advocating the ratification ol
the new constitution, they had no censure for
his intermeddling with State matters; but as soon
as he crosses their war-path ou the capital
question, tho Union declares ;hat he “h s step
ped down lrom the lofty pedestal of a Senator
representing the whole State of Georgia," aud
the correspondent assails his motives. The
peoplo of Georgia are not to bo influenced by
violence and lutoleruuco such as this.— Columbus

Frank Leslie’s Sunday Magazine for Novem
ber contains 128 pages of tho best reading mat
ter the mouth affords us. To its readers it must
prove a source of much pleasure aud re-crea-
tiou. Non-sectariau iu its principles,it is purely
religious in tone and teaching. It contains 100
line engravings. Tho opening pages treat ol the
tho progress of Japan. Russia, Egypt, Green
land, aud other lur-uwuy-plucos are also noticed
in its columns. Tho usual number of beautiful
stories, tho “Home Pulpit," by the editor, Dr.
Deems, a quantity of witty paragraphs, poems,
etc., complete the work. Its intrinsic value lo
tho home-circle is far in advance of its price.

“The iron rulo of hard necessity darkens every homo
in the lard.”—Speaker Randall's Address.
Why, Mr. Randall, thore isn’t a hungry man
in Georgia, nor a “darkened" household for the
want of bread. Pleuty to eat, and plenty ol
good warm clothes to wear; oodles of ootton aud
corn; stables full of fat horses; pastures musical
with the lowing of herds; and lots of brave men
aud pretty women, willing to work, to love, aud
lo be happy. But there is a lamentable luck of
oirculutmg medium. Repeal the resumption
act, restore the “dollar of the daddies" uud give
us three huudred millions more ol greenbacks,
and the country will be prospeious, happy uud
free. — Gainesville J&igle.
Mr. Owen P. Fitzimmons, of Augusta, has
been uppoi ted United Stales Marshal lor Geor
gia. It seems that the President has made a
first-rate appointment, judgiug lrom the tone
of those papers which know the appointee. The
Constitution says: Col. Fitzsimmons is a Dem
ocrat uud a gentleman of sterhug qualities—
prompt, faithful aud fearless iu the isobarge of
his duties, aud of tinu administrative ubility.
We have no doubt that the appointment will
give general satisfaction to the people, who
were beginning to suspect thut the old regime
was to be continued in power, or a worse one
wus to be inaugurated.
The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Rail
road Company have paid for sixty-five of the
eighty-one lives lost at the Ashtabula disaster,
at a rate averaging $5,000 apiece. Tue most
expensive life sacrificed oost the company
$9,000, and a newly married couple were ap
praised at only $3,000.

The Columbus Times believes General Gor

is no danger that Georgia will throw aside such
