*. ALBANY AS A COTTON MARKET.
A Word to Oar Friends la Adjoining Csaatlm.
It ian well knoAvn and indisputa
ble fact,that Albany Is the best cotton
market in SontliAveslern Georgia.—
X’ear after year this fact is hcroming
more strongly deiinnisli-aled.tlieiium
her of farmers from distant counties
who bring colt on In Albany (having
learned its ..iipcrinrity over oilier
local markets) being steadily on the
increase.
XVe do not make the statement in
boastful spirit, hill give it as the
naked truth, that we have better ware
house facilities, better warehouse
men, helleraceoiniimdatinns for farm
ers bringing llieir eottnn from a dis
•alien, aud cheaper transportation
routes to the great eottnn marls of
the world, than any city of similar size
within u radius of forty miles.
Our warehousemen are experienced
in their calling, and make it a point
o look after the planter's interests as
well os their own. They offer every
facility to the farmer to enable him
to gel Ids crop to market, in ease as
sistam-e is needed, and do business
strictly under the good old motto
Give and let live.”
In coininendiug Albany as a cotton
market to our readers, tve do so with
the firm eouviction that it AA'ill be to
Ilieir.adA-autagc to give itatrial; and
having done this, we have no fear that
they will have cause to regret the
change. This applies to those who
have not given our market a trialp
but who could do so with little iu-
eonvenienee; aud to them we extend
a cordial invitation to come “aud see
how it is themselves.”

feat loo to Cotton Planters.
XVe arc informed that there is on
the market a quantity of straw or
grass bagging for cotton. Iu this
connection we take occasion to state
that the cotton exchanges of the cities
from Savannah to New York have
declared against this class of bagging
because it is not adapted to use, and
is a positive damage to cotton. Fur
thermore, circulars were sent out
from these cotton marts addressed
to Imy ers and planters, making known
this decision, and notifying parties at
interest, that cotton brought to mark
et in such bagging would not com
mand the full market price. XVe feel
it due farming renders to put this in
formation before them and caution
them against buying a class of hug
ging that U condensed by the Cotton
Exchanges, and will deprive them-of
• lie fhll market price for the cotton
so packed.

As this destroyer of the poultry
race is very prevalent in our section,
ami as it is peculiarly destructive to
the finer breeds of chickens, in which
our people have become so deeply in
terested, we publish a remedy Avhich
has proved excellent both as a pre-
veutativc, uml ns a cure, if adminis
tered before the disease has gone too
far. Ills as follows: Place about a
quart of tar, a handful of priekley
pears aud some scraps of rusty irou
in about three gallons of water. The
water should he placed where the
-hickens ran get lo it easily, aud all
>ther vessels of water removed. The
pricklev pear should he divested of
thorns and the small “fuzz,” and
hopped up fine. If priekley pears
uiiuot he had, red-oak hark Isa good
substitute.
For sore head ill chirkcns, wash the
brail three nr four times in a strong
brine, or grease well with tar and
lard. Both are excellent remedies, us
lias been proven by several in our

At Home, August IV, 1878.
Jtditnrs Albahy ■Tfewx: Thinking
that a few dots from East Dougherty
Avould he of some interest to yonr
many readers, I herewith sentl yoifn
short communication.
I will first tell you of a barbecue,
which I had the pleasure of attend
lug, at the residence of Mr. Alfred
Morea, iu XX’ortli county, a few days
ago. At an early hour I arrived on
the grouud and found quitu a. large
crowd already assembled. Dinner
Avas announced about half-pssteleven
o’clock. The table thirty groaned
under the weight ot good tliiugs.
Although the crowd was large, there
was plentv to eat and to spare. The
ladies and gentlemen who had charge
ofthe table won much praise for the
excellent manner in which they con
ducted the affair. Messrs. 11. B.
Reynolds and J. XV. Gregory super-
iutendeu the pit, and were highly
complimented ou tlieir skill iu the
barbecuing of pig, kid, landi and
beef.
Late iu the afternoon, in company
with Mr. Morea and Mr. Gregory, 1
took a stroll over their crops. Air.
Gregory’s coni will make at least fif
teen bushels to theucre.and his cotton
is the best I have seen, though slight
ly tinged with rust. Mr. Morea stated
that this was the twenty-fourth crop
he had made ou the place, and that
he had not bought an ear of corn. He
is now seventy years old, is as Rpry as
a cricket, and can do more work t han
a great inatiy young men of the pres
ent day. My honest opinion is, that
better farmers than these two gentle
men cannot be found in this section.
Rust made its appearance iu suine
tields a month ago, and «> rapid lias
been Us progress that, at this time,
scarcely a field has escaped its rava
ges. Tlie result is, the cotton crop
will be cut lniieh shorter than was
once expected. The crop is opening
very fast, aud cotton pickiug is the
order of the day.' The corn crop is
generally good,' while supar rane,
potatoes aud peas are growing splen-
From the best information ( could
gather at the barbecue, the people are
well satisfied with Hou. XVm. E.
Smith’s past record, and are anxious
that he should he continued a third
term.
Our people are euguged in the good
work of building churches, etc. The
Methodist eliurch is being completed
rapidly, aud will soon be ready for
the sweet songs of Zion to be sung

proceedings of the Lee County Seed
Cotton Stealers, endeavors, while
oticealiug his own name, to throw
dirt at the Rev. Mr. Shackelford,
formerly of your city.
He appenrs to think that it was not
presumption enough, on the part of
the Committee, under whose auspices
this proposed agreement AVas circula
ted, to request the rct’ereiid gentle
man nut to huv cotton when he knew
the same was stolen, but they must
even go further, if they choose, and
search his premises, look under the
beds, etc., to satisfy themselves that
lie had not misrepresented the facts.
XVas ever such a proposition made to
law-abidiug, Christian igentlenianV
Of course Mr. Shackelford resented
the insult to his manhood and getili-
tv, by refusing to sign such an agree
ment. Indeed, every one else had.
XV’lien Mr. S. saw the #a“er, not even
one of the Committee names, had
been affixed.
If “Dixie” had a tithe of the manli
ness aud courage possessed by Air. S.,
he would either write with moro dis
crimination and fairness, or abandon
his literary pursnits, leave the shade,
pull off his coat and goto work liken
man, thereby economizing in pens, ink
and paper, and saving himself from
the just condemnations of the right
thinking portion of the community.
Respectfully,

The valne of the field pea as a for
age crop is becoming generally re-
coguized, and many of our planters
avail themselves of its rapid growth
to take the place of corn fodder early
iu the summer, when the latter forage
“runs short.” This is a good idea,
and one that should commend itself
to our planters. Pea-vine fodder is
easily grown, stock aud cattle eat it
voraciously, and land that will not
produce a fourth of a crop of cotton
or corn, will, with ordinary cultiva
tion, yield a heavy crop of pea fod
der.
The pea crop of Dougherty, we
learn, will be a heavy one, compara
tively speaking, and our planters
could not do better than turn a por
tion of it into fodder, which ran he
profitably accomplished a short time
after the'peas begin to ripuu, aud be
fore the lenves commence to “shed.’

Ovrrtaslclng the Energies.
It is not advisable for auy of ns lo
overtask our energies, corporeal or
inentHl, but in the eager pursuit of
wealth or fame or knowledge, how
many transgress this salutary rule. It
must he a inallterof great importance
to all who do so to know how they
ran regain the vigor so recklessly ex
pended. The remedy is neither cosi
ly or difficult to obtain. Hostetler’s
Stomncli Bitters is procurable in eve
ry sity, town and settlement in Amer
ica, and it compensates for a drain of
bodily or mental energy more effectu
ally than any invigon'iiit ever pre
scribed or advertised. I-shoring men,

clergymen, physicians, all benr testi

THE A. O. U. W.
A SOMEWHAT OONT«ADICTO*r COMMU
NICATION RESPECTING THAT SE
CRET SOCIETY.
Nrw York, Aug 7.1878.
2V» the Editor of the Telegram:
My attention baa been called to nn
article in the Evening Telegram ot
last evening on the A. O. U. XV-, and
as sonic of the statements therein ere
iu conflict with the true principles of
the Order, I am constrained to nuke
tliis reply in the way of • correction.
The Ancient Order of United
XVorkmen ia a non-eecterian, non-po
litical institution, and n similar or
ganization to the Masons, Knights of
Pythias, Odd Fellows. Knight* of
Honor, end kindred orders. It is not
a labor league in any sense of the
word, neither is it composed of work
men to the exclusion of capitalists
and monopolists, as Brother Kinkaid
Irads one to suppose in his interview
with your reporter. There is no more
mystery surrounding this order than
there is surrounding the Masons or
the Independent Order of Odd Fel
lows.. Its object is not “to foster har
monious feelings between capitalists
and workingmen,” nor “to prevent
strikes by arbitration," nor “to re
dress the wrongs inflicted npon work
ingmen by corrupt Legislatures.’
XX’ith these things if has nothing what
ever to do. The Communist, the so-
-inlist, the workingman and the capi
talist can all become members of the
oi lier provided they are of good mor
al character, physically strong, and
have some visible means of ftlireli-
hood. The A. O. U. W. is purely
•cratic in its government, and iu r«r-
linal object is the furtherance ol
friendship, charity and benevolence
among its fellow men. It gives week
ly lienetiU to its sick, flnas employ
ment for iu unemployed and buries
its dead. Outside of this it is simply
a cheap mutual life into ranee asaoria-
tion.
Brother Kinkaid mys that the rea
son the order has not been represent
ed in this city until recently is because
the powers that be reared the Com-
muiiistic element. This is not so.—
The reasou given by Grand Master
XVorkman Bennett in a letter which
is before us, for the late planting ot
the order iu this city, was that the
percentage of deaths iu the metropo
lis is greater than in other cities aud
towns according to the reports ol
other endowment orders. Brother
Bennett in this letter also sava:—“See
that the men that yon take in are Of
rood social standing. Wewantqnal-
ty, not quantity.”
It inntters not whether an applicant
Tor membership is a voter or not, for
so long as he is of good moral char
acter nml over twenty-one years ot
age, he is eligible to membership.
One would be easily led to suppose,
after reading Brother Kinkald’sstate
ment relative.to his future course In
paying liis respects to Mr. Hewitt’s
l-aboi- Committee, that -the Grand
Alaster XX’orkraan exercised the pow
ers of a dictator in the order. He
says: -“I shall write to Grand Mas
ter XX’orkmau Bennett to gain his
views on the subject as to whether it
is advisable that I should do so or
not.” As the representative of the
.n-der, Mr. Kinkaid nor any other
iiihii has any right to present any
views ou the labor question before
this committee; but aa an individual
lie is at liberty to do as he pleases.
Neither the supreme or graud officers
have any control over a member’s in
dividual action. .
It has, I admit, generally obtained
that our order has something to do
with the labor movement because of
its peculiar name, which is a groat
misnomer, and a change of the title
lias already been suggested, and
will be warmly advocated at the next
session of the Supreme Lodge.

Indian Agent Livingstone’s
. Crookedness. ,
Information has been received at
the Iudian office that fifteen hundred
pounds ot tobacco have been f
secreted under the floor of the
house at the Crow Creek Agency.—
Livingstone-reported that there were
hut three thousand pounds at the
agency. Eight thousand pounds have
already been discovered. This is more
t han an eighth of the whole amount
issued annually to all the Indians in
the United States. It is not known
whether Livingstone applied for ad
ditional supplies of tobacco this year,
hut he did make application for the
usual amount of drugs, when he bad
enough on hand to last for fifteen
years. It is thought that LlvingstoueV
defalcation will be found to amount
to more than one hundred thousand
dollars instead of seventy thousand
dollars, as at first estimated.

The Cotton Crop.
Complaints, loud and deep, are be
ginning to be heard on every band
about the cotton crop. Two weeks
since the prospect was never better;
now it is said the crop is failing and
tailing fast. The excessive and con
tinuous rains arc doiug the mischief.
There’s doubt about the crop being
seriously injured, and if the rains
continue it will be still ftirther injur
ed, though we are inclined to think
that the damage is somewhat magni
fied. For. instance^ an intelligent
farmer tol>' us the other day that the
rop was ent off one-half. We donot
think it is near that bad. It is, how
ever, badly hurt; but with favorable
weather the crop will yet pan out
well.—Thomasville Times.
