True Cbarlty to the Negro.
The following ere the remarks of
the Springfield Republican (which Is
a representative Republican newspa
per) npon the negro emigration
scheme. Says the editor:
••There is a wide-spread effort to
ronse the same feeling at the North
for tLe negro emigrant which was
felt a generation ago for the fugitive
slave. This is a mistake. The cases
are not parallel. There was full rea
son for the sentiment which clustered
about the negro escaping from bond
age. nis aid was a sacred duty
which, in the minds o< many, over
rode, and rightly, the claims of nu
unjust law. The negro emigrant of
to-day. is a freeman like the rest of
us. He does not like to live in one
place and lie prefers to live in anoth
er. ne lias a right to the choice. If
his migration brings the weak and
helpless, dependent on him, to want,
this want ought to he relieved.—
Nothing more ought to be done. To
aid the emigration by paying the
transportation-of negroes from the
banks of the lower Mississippi to
Kansas, when those already in Kan
sas cannot support themselves, would
be unwise, not to say wicked. Aa for
stimnlating the movement, by spread
ing the idea among negroes tliat some
mysterions and benevolent power at
the North stands ready to save them
from the consequences of their own
blunders, if they blunder in going,
that is not to be thought of. In short
the funds being raised should be re
ligiously applied to settling those
who have arrived, not to unsettling
those who have not started. It is high
time that the negro had all the rights
of a freeman, and the first of these
rights is a complete responsibility for
bis own acts. Let him go and come
as he pleases and if he blunders in
either let him suffer for his blunders.
He.will get wisdom in no other way.
‘•The desire to relieve his distress
is praiseworthy. It should have full
play, but sedulous care should be
taken by those who distribute ilu-
aims now gathering all over the
North that they do not make matter-
worse. The attempt of the negro t<
better himself is exactly the attenip
of every other emigrant. It is ai
economic movement whiih ought ti
be left to the control of cconomi
laws. Every possible care should b
j taken to preteut anything like a:
! unreasoning speculation seizing 01
J the n -gro mind. There probabl
I of thetcbaritable just now th«n th
~ ’ ! wide circulation among Southern tie
Great R ducti n of Prices | groes of evact information abotn
I K:m-as. The cold climate, the prici
I of land, the difficulty of Uu»killei
_ _ _ tt/yttciti ■ j labor securing employment, the wan
MARSHALL HOI loXt,; Which has overtaken the negro emi
j grants thus far; all these facts it
would be the pa;t of wisdom t.
spread widely at the Soulh, to as ti
give the negro full benefit of th
knowledge which he would other
wise receive by a bitter experience.
This wonld reduce the migration t<
those who have money enough ti
pay their way from the South am”
energy enough to earn their living at
the North.
‘•This is the more necessary bccaust
an evil extent this has not beei
done. The evidence is clear that
lying pictures of the advantages ot
Kansas and lying prophecies of fu
turn and irnpos-ible cruelty from thi
whiles begad this migration in Lou
isiana and Mississippi. A strong
tendency has also been visible to use
the exodus for political capital.—
Nothing eonld he worse. The negro
has goffered by this treatment in the
past, it will be a strange cruelty if he
forced to suffer again. The time is
past for making a ward of him. Treat
him like a man. Hold him account
able for his errors like other men.—
Iait him pay his own way and earn
ids own living like other men. Any
other course simply revives the very
idea of his weakness on which slavery
was built in another and most dan
gerous form.”

Judge Underwood Don’t Bite.
A correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle <k Constitutionalist, writing
from Atlanta last Saturday, says:—
Hon. John W. II. Underwood is free
ly talked of as the Independent can
didatc for Governor,” and ‘-he ap
pears to be delighted at the idea.”
To this the Rome Courier says:—
W'e have authority from Judge Un
derwood for saying that bo Ins in
idea of being a candidate for Govern
or at all, that he will never be a can
didate for thst or any other office it
opposition to the organized Democ
racy. We hope this will settle th-
matter; and would remark furthei
that if every man who desires the of
flee would turn a deaf car to the se
duelions of a few marplots who by
holding out tempting prizes fry
weaken the zeal of good Democrat
.Ills Independent idea would toot
vanish Into tliht air.”

Neighboring Notes
Mr. J. J. Williams, of Ty Ty, has
one ot the flnsst fields of corn in this
section of country.
Cuthbcrt has received 8,164 bale*
of cottc.n the past season, the largest
receipts of any year since the war.
One of the most accomplished and
beautiful brides at oar recent Fair
was Mrs. H. A. Leadbetter, of Raker
county.
Mr. J. R. P. Durham, of Calhonn,
will move Ids family to Dawson in a
few days. They will spend the sum
mer there.
George Bruee was playing with
another boy in a store in Bainbridge,
when he fell, striking against an adze
lying on the floor and was seriously
cut.
Dawson is on the “look up.” We
are glad to chroniclo if. Let the peo
ple work, pull and talk for their
town, and everything will be better
for them.
The Cuthbert Appeal is offering a
sewing machine for the finest baby
at the Fair in July. Can’t some of tho
mothers of this section carry over
their darlings?
Rev. J. P. McCabe will preach and
celebrate mass at the church between
Alapaha and Willacoochee stations
on the 17th insL Catholics and non-
Catholics are invited.
Two bales of wool were recently
brought to Alapaha that weighed
2,338 pounds. At 30 cents per pound
this would give the owner in pocket
$351.40. Does it pay to raise sheep.
A little eleven year old daughter of
Mr. II. F. Gaulding, of Bainbridge,
saw her little brother fall into the
cistern, and. with all her strength
dragged a ladder to the cistern and
letting it down, succeeded in catching
hold of the little fellow, and saved
his life.
The Berrien county Newt, in speak
ing of the Fair, says that it was “ac
knowledged by all that Dr. W. W.
Bacon, E. H. Barnes and John Hen
derson were the finest looking sol-
Hers on the field.” The ladies don’t
•av so. Two of them are married,
tn the immortal language of the fol-
ow in the show, “do you see the
ofce.”
The citizens of Thomasville have
mrchased a magnificent monument
commemoration of the Confeder-
te dead. It will be unveiled on the
iUth insr. An address will be delfv-
red by Col. Hammond, and there
ill lie various exercises, such as a
rand military procession, a' sham
attle, a regular camp dinner, etc.—
>Ve should like to see a monument to
■ur soldier dead in the Albany cent-
very. We believe it could be placed
here, and very easily, too.
The editor of the Bainbridge Dem-
crat believes that the scepter ot
•eauty is held by the young ladies oi
is town. Witness the following:
Albany young ladies are the smart-
st, wittiest ana prettiest in the State.
—News. Was the writer of the foro-
oing ever in Bainbride; and if so
lid he meet our young ladies ? If not
please sit down on that assertion un
til you do see them, and we are satie-
<ied that you will take every word oi
back.
No, sir, wo do not “take every
*ord of it back.” We do not take
oven a single word of it back.
Capt-Jno. A. Cobb, the energetic
President of our Fair Association
visited our sanctum Monday. He
has just returned from Albany and
s perfectly enthusiastic over the spir
it and vim displayed there in refer
ence to their Fair. He says it is not
the fair of the stockholders or the di
rectors, hut the fair of everybody in
Dougherty county, lie attended
meeting of the officers of several oth
er fair associations and is hopeful
that great good may accrue to our
Association from their deliberations.
—Americus Recorder.
The following two items we copy
from the Americus Republican: Mr.
B. Hare, of this city, who was in
Lee county recently, informs us that
he saw nineteen cradles at work on
Mr. V. A. Clegg’s place, cutting
wheat. It was a glorious sight to
see the rich grain fall before the
sturdy sweep of the reapers. On this
place, and that of Mrs. Whitsett, ad
joining, he says forty cradles are run,
mil the wheat fields all present
beautiful appearance, and that he has
never seen such crops in his life. He
reports no rust.
Mr. Willis A. Hawkins, Jr., has
billiards down to a- pretty “fine
point.” His last run is one hundred
ind thirteen points in a four ball
;ame, and sixty-two points in
•'rench carom—three balls—all fair
-hots.

last November.
The Augusta Chronicle says that
the Burke county planters who have
ploughed up corn to plant more cot
ton will discover next winter that
cottou advances in price for the spec
ulator, but never for the producer.
Rice culture has received consider
able attention in Southwest and
Southern Georgia this year. Our
farmers are gradually diversifying
their crops. Newspaper talk on thU
subject has accomplished a great
deal.
The Early County News says: Mr.
J. W. Alexander, Sr., of Early, is as
regular in finding the first caterpillar
of the season as is Primus Jones, of
Baker county, in having tho first bah-
of cotton in market. Jim has already
sent in his sample worm.
At a fire in Macon the other night
the horses attached to two of the en
gines ran away. Mr. Bob Reynolds
of No. 3 was thrown down and thr
heavy engine ran over his arm, crush
ing it badly. He is doing well.
A subscriber at Sycamore writes tho
Ilawkinsville Dispatch that a citizen
f Irwin county clipped this season
fourteen pounds of wool from one
heep—a last year’s lamb. The sheep
was of the common scrub stock, rais
ed on the wire-grass ranges.
Americua is going to do away with
most of her street lamps, and spend
the money saved from the lamps in
bnilding fire cisterns. At the same
time her police force has been increas
ed at an additional expense of $900
per year. She will find a sufficiency
of light to be as good a safe-guard as
extra police.
Mrs. Kate Sothern is at Mr. C. B.
Howard’s camp near Reynolds. Sev
en prisoners escaped from this camp
last week, among them Collins
(wliite)Ywho had been sentenced at
the last term of tho Superior Court
os Muscogee county, for a number of
years for committing rape upon a
white woman.
There is a young lady in Wilkes
county who was born blind, and who,
it is said, can instantly detect color
by the touch. When a child she could
tell the name and color of her pet cats
and chickens by simply laying her
hand upon thorn. Frequent attempts
were mado to deceive her by substi
tuting others, bnt they failed.
A correspondent of tho Ilawkins
ville Dispatch writes to that paper
that “Mr. 55. Bass, of Irwin county,
caught recently a cat-fish, a squirrel
and an alligator all upon the same
hook at the same time. The fish
probably caught the squirrel while
swimming across the lake, and after
ward caught and swallowed au alli
gator about a foot in length, and then
found and swallowed tho bait upon
a set hook.”
Says tho Talbotton Standard: “A
young farmer near town, whose cat-
tlo have boon dying with the disease
now affecting stock in somu parts of
Talbot, made a post mortem exami
nation of a dead cow the other day.
He says he took from tbo stomach of
the cow about two bushels and a half
of cotton seed, and that every one of
the seed had sprouted. This is a re
markable story, but the young man’s
neighbor vouches for the truth of it.”
The Macon Telegraph, upon the au
thority of a prominent director of the
Central Railroad, states that the dis
criminations which havo caused so
much complaint of tho Central road
are to ho practically abolished. It is
asserted now that the suicidal compe
tition for through business which had
the Montgomery and Eufanla rail
road for its basis has been destroyed,
that freight rates ou the Central line
and all its divisions will bo so gradu
ated as to operate on the basis of dis
tance only. It is also stated, upon the
authority of tho same director, that
Mr. Wadlcy has never approved tho
oppressive discriminations, but lias
been-driven to adopt them by the
competltlou inaugurated by the
IdOOIsvIUs and NashyiRe road.

Little Cotton Mills.
Little cotton mills, yes, that's the
cry of the future. AVe would liko to
see them all over the South, in every
neighborhood of out- land from the
Potomac to the Gulf. There is mon
ey in them; good, clear money, and
it won’t be long before the people
will find it out.
AYc havo one in our eve. It is at
AVestminster, S. C. It cost only
twenty-five hundred dollars, and is
run by eight hands. A mill owner
furnished the water power, aud
company of farmers raised the money
to buy the machinery. Theso farm
ers manufacture their own cotton
without ginning, and turn out twen
ty-five dollnrs worth of yarns por
•lay. Twenty-five dollars per day
pays running expenses, pays for the
cotton consumed, and in addition pavs
a larger per cent, on the investment
than the farmers could got from any
other business.
There arc many such cotton mills
in tho South, especially in the Missis
sippi valley, all paying woll.
Can’t wo havo a few mills in South
west Georgia ? Think of tho magni
ficent water power of tho Flint aud
our many creeks. A small mtll could
bo put up hero in Albany; one at
Couch’s dam In Baker county; onoat
Dr. Hands, samo county; ono at
Newton; ono at Cordray’s in Cal

MeLellaud’s, in Worth, etc. An am
ple supply of cotton could bo deliver
ed without tbo expense of ginning,
packing, bagging and tios, etc., and
without the expense of, say two cents
por pound which it-take* to pay
freight to most of the New England
mills. Under such favorable circum

these mills could not compete with
those in the Northern-States. Let us
think of tho subject. It is one that

growing district; that its location is
entirely healthy; and that the lands
surrounding it are very productive.
The charm, to us at present, is that
business is lively, and that wool is
coming in one continued stream into
the villngc, and commanding pi-it-e>
ranging from 27X to 30 cents. Now
is tho time to push for.lhe “almighty
dollar.” This being a busy little
place, and only “a way” station ui
which the cave do not stop any longer
than necessary to take on, put oil
freight and change the mails, gave
rise the other day to quiie a laugha
ble little incident A well-known,
corpulent business man of your town,
whose legs are rather short, having «
good deal of business to transact, and
only a limited time in which In-
might attend to it, got off at Ty Ty.
and proceeded at once to make ar
rangements with his agents. Being
so'busily engaged, be did not hear
the signal for starting, and the train
moved off leaving him at Brady’s.—
He made tracks for thedepot. but not
being perceived, the train rolled on,
at which our corpulent friend be
came almost frautic, waving his satch
el up and down, and to aud fro in the
vain hope of attracting attention.—
Failing in this he set off down tin-
road determined to ont run the train
to Brunswick. C O. seeing him ou
the “fly” and taking in the situation
at a glance, cried out: “Good-bye.
call again.” J. L. F. having individ
ual business of importance with said
C. which in the hurry had not be< n
satisfactorily arranged, and seeing
him on tho track about one hundred
yards goitig at full speed, set up »
shout, and started down the road af
ter him at a 2:40 pace. The race wa-
lively and exciting, until the conduc
tor spied them, and “held up” aboui
a quarter of a mile from the station.
AVe are told by some quaint old po
et that when ourancestors settled thb
country,
*The nttle snakes were bigger round
Than the butt of an old ram's horn,
And th* woItm came prowling round the door,
Whenever a child wm bom.**
The wolves are gone, but rattle
snakes still abound. Maj. J. A.
Owens of this place killed one a feu-
days ago which measured six feet
and had fourteen rattles and a but
ton. From the glowing description
given of the snake by him, we sup
pose it was “bigger! round than the
bnttofaii old ram’s horn,” or any
other “horn.” Irwin’county has been
awarded the “blue ribbon” for large
snakes and other “venomous var
mints,” bnt. AVorth now, with that in
nate-modesty natural with her, tim
idly marches to the front and slyly
hints that the decoration of right be
longs to her.
A M. D. from your town paid us a
visit this week, and made a good
trade in a certain pain alleviator,
which to do it justice docs all that it
is recommended to do which is more
than can be said of half the patent
nostrums that are flooding the coun
try.
Among the few changes since out
last, we would mention the restau
rant which has been established by
Major J. A. Owens, making five bus
iness honse9 now in full blast in our
little village, each of which is doing a
splendid business.
Mr. John Mathis and Mr. Cad.
Clements, two amateur fishermen ot
our village, went ont fishing recently
They were gone bnt a few horns only,
and returned bringing with them
seventy-threo fine bream, forty oi
which were “hooked” by Mr. Clem

In-cat ot violence—a threat of some-

use oi troops means violence and re
sults in violence. Soldiers have no
power to arrest! They have no au
thority to -execute civil process.—
When called into service they art
culled for the purpose of putting
•uto action military power over ah
itlier powers, the civil pewer ana
tuthorities included. Should out
>euple be driven to obey the com
mands of a Federal soldier in a time
if profound peace, rather than the
:oustitiited civil authorities of the
state—thus accepting the supremacy
•f the military over the civil aathor
ties—they will be in a fair way to
use, not only a right to a free, fait
tnd peaceable electiou, but all other
fight* essential to human liberty.
While Mr. Hayes vetoes the bill in-
ended to prevent the use of Federal
troops at the pools, he expresses sym
pathy with Congress and the people
in their efforts in this direction, and
promised not to use the army for
mieli a purpose. If he is sincere he
-huuld have approved our bill. His
vetoes arc not in harmony with his
profession. If he does not intend to
use the army to influence .elections
and intimidate tho people, why not
give us the strongest assurance bvdi-
vesting himself of tho power to do
Then Ills promise would have
force. But so lung as the power to
use troops at the polls is claimed by
Mr. Hayes, his claim will amount to a
threat. Mr. Hayes’ promises and pro
fessions are neither very firm isor cer
tain.
If Mr. Hayes does not recede, his
vetoes will have the effect of prevent
ing the repeal of not only the obnox
ious laws, but will also prevent all re
lief measures from passing into taws.
The Democratic party in Congress
can not overcome his veto by a two
thirds vote, and being thus weak, Mr
11 lives can dictate just such legisla
tion as suits the extremists ofhis par
ty, for it seems he has completely sur
rendered to them.
As to what course the Democratic
party will pursue, I have only to say
that there is but one. AVe cannot re
treat, we cannot surrender. AVe are
endeavoring to remove from the sta
tute book a class of infamous legisla
tion—statutes that virtually authorize
the control of elections by tho domi
nant party, and laws that deprive the
citizen of his right to a fair, free and
peaceable election, and deprives the
State of her right to keep the peace
within her jurisdictional limits on
election da vs. As the people are tax
ed to support the Government, it is
proper, when they apprehend that
laws are to be executed to their injn-
rv, to withhold all appropriations for
this purpose. For myself I shall not
vote one dollar under existing cir
cumstances, and if this effort to pro
tect the most important duty and
right of the citizen makes one a revo
lutionist, then I am one.

An Agricultural Creed.
According to the Canada Farmer,
the agriculturists of Canada met in
c invention not long ago, and adopt
ed for themselves the following
creed:
AVe believe in a small farms and
thorough cultivation.
AVe believe that tho soil loves to
cat aa well os the owner, and ought
therefore to be well manured;
AVe believe in goiug ts the bottom
of tilings, and therefore in deep plow
ing aud enough of it. All the better
if it he a subsoil plow.
AVe believe in largo crops which
leave the land better than they found
it, making both the farm and farmer
rich at nnre.
AVe believe that every farm should
oivn a good farmer.
AVe bulievo that tho fertilizer of
anv soil is a spirit of industry, enter
prise and intelligence; withoutthese,
lime, gyps.im and guano will be of
little use.
AVe believe in good fences, good

The New York Times presents crop
reports from every State in the Union
except those on the Pacific coast, and
they have evidently been obtained
with umisnal care aiid research. The
general conclusion* are mo>t gratify
ing. The promise of agricultural pro
ducts this year is that they will cer
tainly be above the average anil prob
ably will be larger than ever before.
Thero will be a large surplus of wheat
and corn for export, with a fair pros-
pect of a remunerative foreign mar
ket, and the surplus of pork, beef,
lard, butter and clieeso will also be
equal to any previous year. This
oata not only insures a'balance of
trade in favor of this country, bnt it
assures abundant food foe all elnsso«
at reasonable price*, which will stim
