®|t Jailj frrgs. City Printer-Official Paper LABfiBSTCITY* CIRCULATION. auqubta, gA.I rkIDAT MORNING July 13, 1888 Our Agricultural Intereits. We fear ibat the call for a National Convention and the desire to secure representation in Congress have awaken ed the old slumbering fires of politics in the South, and blinded our people to what their true interests and the exi gencies of the times demand. We have asserted it time and again, and wc can not repeat it too often, that the real interest of the South, at this time, is the development and proper application of her mineral, agricultural, and indus trial resources. What matters it to our people if the odious test oath were abol ished to-day, and our Senators and Representatives admitted conditionally, or unconditionally, to Congress, if poverty and starvation are stalking un resisted over the land ? What matters it to ns if delegates lire elected to a National Convention and admitted to full fellowship therein, if our people nre unprovided with the means of feeding and clothing themselves ? These are questions which address themselves to us forcibly and feelingly. We are told that large numbers of people in Georgia nre, to-day, actually suffering for the want of the necessaries of life. They are the widows and or phans of soldiers who fell in defence of the South; they are the aged and de crepid who have lost their all by the re sult of the war ; they are men who have sacrificed everything for Southern Inde pendence, and have not the means to begin life anew, as it were. What do these people care for politics ? They care not for representation, for this policy or that policy, for this party or that party. All that they ask for is bread 1 bread 1 All that they nsk for is for work to do, or for the means to com. mencc work, so that they may not perish for want of food and clothing. Shall we give them stones? Shall we turn a deaf ear to their appeals? No; let us rather address ourselves, without delay, to the improvement of their condition. Let us go to work in earnest, and develop the agricultural re sources of our State. If we have money to spare, let us invest it in food for our suffering people, or in the implements of agriculture which will enable them to cultivate the soil, and save their lives. If we send a delegate to Philadelphia, let it be one armed with greenbacks and commissioned to purchase the latest improvements in agricultural imple ments. If we go into a Convention. let it be to the Cotton Planters’ Convention of the South, or to the Cotton Planters’ Convention of Georgia—calls for both of which have been issued. In these Conventions there will be no test oaths— no qualifications except a desire and a determination to promote the real inter ests of the Southern people. Their mis' sion is a grand, a noble one, and we hope that they will both be fully at' tended, and their results as happy as the most sanguine aud hopeful can wish for. The Georgia Cotton Planters’ Con vention is called for the 15th of August next, at Macon, Ga., and the call is signed by J. H. Jones, Esq., of Burke county, Vice President. We would gladly append the call, but have not been able as yet to procure a copy. The following is the call lor the general Con vention : To the Cotton Planters of the South : No interest suffered more by the late war than the cotton planting interest of the Southern States. None needs the fostering caro of the Government and people more. The success of nearly every branch of in dustry, and tho general prosperity of our people, depend, in a great measure, on tho success of planters. Tho destruction of that system of labor to which Southern planters were educated, and anew system thrust upon them about which they knew nothing, and whioh they have yet to learn to manage successfully, togethor with many other considerations, all point to the impor tance of a Cotton Planters’ Convention. Our lands, stock, provisions and agricul tural knowledge is our only capital. How to work it to tho best advantago is yet to be developed. Tho fate of Jamaica may bo avorted by timely steps. Tho system of free labor may bo made a success. Wiso councils and concert of action would doubt less rosult in great good to the cotton plant ing interests of tho Southern States. To accomplish this and other objects, the writer would suggest a Convention of Cot ton Planters, to meet in Nashville on the first Wednesday in September next, and that every cotton producing county in tho Southern States bo represented by ono or more of their most intelligent planters. Cotton Planter. Changed Hi s Relations.— The Church Journal, (Protestant Episcopal) has the followng: “Rev. T. C. McKee, the Baptist minister whose accession to the church was announced in our last, was the pastor of the largest and most influential Baptist society iu Nashville, nt the time when he made and announced his conviction that Baptism was un tenable, aud that he must seek for or ders in the Church. The eVent has made no small stir.” LATEST HEWS. N*w You, July 11.

In the fight of Tranlenan, the Austrians ere said to have lost from four to six thousand men killed and wounded; the Prussians one thousand. Thero was great rejoicing at Berlin over the alleged Prussian victory, and tho people presented an address to the King.
