He WM born in South Carolina but spent most of his life in Georgia. He is a Baptist, hM had seven wives and is the father of 51 ahil- dren, the youngest being in her mver- teenth year. He is quite intelligent. He lives 14 miles west of Tuskegee. Owe Heasew for a New Censlltattwa. Under this head, the Madison Journal discourses as follows: “In the new Oon- utitution whioh Georgia ahonld not fail to make this year, it should be provided that the great mass of striotly local and private legislation, which consumes two- thirds of the time and labor of the Legis lature, be transferred either to the Supe rior Courts in their ministerial oapaoity, or to a board of oounty commissioners with authority and power sufficient to dis pose of theM minor local affairs. The advantage to be derived by thia change alone, would fully compensate for all the expenae of holding the oonvention. The Legislature annually pasM* several hundred acts under the head of “Looal Laws," whioh ought never to be considered or known of by that body. In the volume of “Georgia Laws, 1876,” we find only 130 pages of publio laws (to make whioh is the true provinoe of a Legislature), while there are very nrarly three hundred pages of looal and private laws. Fully twelve pages of the laat olass of laws are devoted to prohibiting the sale of intoxieating liquors in the neighborhood of olinrohM in various oounties from the ohinqnapin region to the piney woods. Twenty or more ohnrohes are thus provided for. We have no objection to thMe prohibitions. On the eoutrary, we think them salutary to a community. But let every oounty protect its own ohnrohes and Modernise without enoumbering the Legislature. What interest does a Representative from Chatham eonnty feel in the paaHge or non-passage of an act to protect a given ahuroli, or relieve na unfortunate bonds man, in Dade county? We repeat that quite two-thirds of the work of the Legislature, under the pres ent Constitution, ia to paM theM petty looal and private laws. Let all this mass of work be kept at home and disposed of as before intimated. Let a provision of this sort be incorporated in the new Con stitutiou, and so little work will remain for the Legislature that a body, half of its present size, holding only half as many sessions, could dispose of it with economy and ample satisfaction to the people. ” TO THE PUBLIC. Atlanta Constitution.! This announcement is to me the sad* dest of my life. Since 1865, by bard work, I have accumulated a fortune. I have engaged liberally in publio enterprises, in anticipation of ooming prosperity; and incurred liabilities whioh I then thought I should be able to uMt without embarrassment. But instead of prosper ity, adversity came; my inooma dwindled away; my property, in common with property all over the United States, depreciated in value, and I now find myself incumbered with a heavy debt, the interest on whioh is rap* idly consuming my assets. Justice to my creditors and my own interest and happi ness demand that I shall give up the fight and surrender my property to those to whom it justly belongs. I have plaoed in the hands of my attorneys, Hopkins A Glenn, a full and complete statement of everything I possess, upon whioh I have fixed what I con sider a fair valuation. I have also given them a list of my liabilities, and I propose to surrender everything ex- oept what the law may allow my wife and children. If my creditors will agree and save costs, and judiciously dispoM of my property, I think they all will be protect ed, but if they do not agrM, then bank{ ruptoy is the only alternative. No Ian gnage oan express my regret at the result of my labors, and especially Ml must suspend at a time when onr city is mani festly recovering from that universal op pression whioh hM been npon the entire oountry. My books from the beginning are open for inspection. They .show what has be- oome of every dollar I oommenoed with after the war, and every dollar I have bandied up to this time; and the vouohers are all carefully preserved. I surrender my home and its comforts, and all else that I have, to meet the olaims of justioe. I oan do no more, have tried to the best of my ability to serve the pnblio without asking for or ex peotiog any compensation; but my neces sities will now compel me to resign the positions I hold in oonneotion with publio enterprises and devote my time and indi vidual attention to my real estate and renting business. With the foregoing statement before the publio, and a consciousness of having intentionally wronged no man, I hope my friends and the pnblio will extend to me and continue their confidence at least in my integrity; and I also hope for a oon tiunalion of ibeir patronage. My renting business will go on as usual and will reoeive my personal attention. Parties for whom I may oolleot rents, oan always get it when they osll for it, as they have alwsps done heretofore. The oreditors of Peters A Adair need feel no alarm. All their debts will be paid. G. W. Ad he. N*shvii.dk American: “Suoh papers as the New York Herald do little good by the manner in which they treat the lynch ing of a negro in Georgia. The Herald admits that he was guilty of a orime in whioh his life wm justly forfeited. In that oase mob law in Georgia is precisely what mob law is in Northern States. It is evil and only evil anywhere. If it af fords the negro less chance for a legal trial than a white man, it is worse for that reason than to lynch a white man guilty of orime, except when female hon or is the subject of the crime. Then in Georgia as in Indiana and in Illinois, in that case there isnonsepreaobinglaw loan indignant people. The IleraUl, however, treats oases of lynohing in the South as if they were exceptional or sectional where they are of little more frequent occurrence than in the North and.especi ally in the West." Northern papers of the Herald cIms rarely have anything exoept in detraction of the South, and their remarks are given Lyssaa *a cedes. From th* Mobil* Register.] While at New Orleans a few years ago we formed th* acquaintance of Hon. JoMpk B. Lyman, of Louisiana, author of a very popular book on ootton culture. The book wm then fresh before th* pub lic and of coarse w* soon referred to it and fall into a conversation on the snbjeot of eotton. In a word, we “inter viewed" Mr. Lyman, with a view to a pnblieatjon in the Regieter, but th* proper season for making the publication wm not at hand just then, and when the proper season did roll around our note book was aoeidentally overlooked, and so it hM gone on from year to year np to th* present time. But th* article will came in just m well now M it would have come in a few years ago, and therefore we shall proceed to make it up from onr notes taken during the interview referred to: Lyman—The greet desideratum with th* ootton planter is to obtain th* loagMt possible period for his hsrvest season ; consequently during the for* part of the summer his policy should be to push the crop, and obtain open bolls m early as they can be produced. The pickers ought to be able to start in with their bags by the 15th or 20th of August. Writer—How soon should cultivation begin after planting, in your judgment ? L.—Within fifteen days. A light plough should be run elose to the line of plants, cutting away the weeds and graM and stilting the soil to a moderate depth, not later than fifteen dejr* after platting. W.—Should th* bOM run before the plough? L.—No; but they should follow imme diately, smoothing the inequalitlM pro duced by the plough, and chopping out the plants, leaving them iu small groups at points where the afterwards chosen stalks will be required to grow. W.—When should the crop reoeive its final thinning? L.— In about two weeks of the chop ping out. At this time the seoond culti vation should be made, and thia should be the most thorough cultivation of any. The surplus plants should be pulled out by hand snd with great care not to dis place the roots of the plants allowed to remain. A little fresh dirt should be drawn around the roots of the plant* left for a stand, and the entire bed, as well m the middtes between, ebould be made perfectly dean. W.—Then this cultivation must be per formed with the hoe ? L.—Yes, mainly. The middles may be saraped over by a sweep, but the smooth- ing-nps and most of the performance must be wrought with the hoe. On good soil and with a favorable Mason the growth will be rapid after thia going over, snd the subsequent cultivation may be effected mainly with th* plow. W.—What is your idea of deep plough ing in ootton onltnre? L.—I do not consider deep ploughing beneficial at any time save when bedding up in spring. At any other time it breaks the lateral roots of the plants and thus re tarda their growth. Anything that re tards growth curtails the pieking season, snd hence should be striotly avoided. W.—What kind of plough do you oon aider best for ootton oulture? L.—Far after oulture, I auppora you mean? The Louisiana sweep, aa it is most commonly called, is, perhaps, the best now in general use. It consists of a oommon scooter plough with wings at tached three or four inohM above the tip, and set in such a way as to paM just be neath the snrfaoe and throw a little ridge of fresh earth elose to the stems th* plants. This sweep, when skillfully used, elesns the surface so thor oughly that the hoes can pMS over the field with great rapidity. Hew to Use Hsssy. Mr. Brown kept boarders. Around Mr. Brown's tea-table rat Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mra. Andrews, the vil lage milliner; Mr. Blaok, the baker; Mr. Jordan, a carpenter; and Mr. Hadly, a flour snd lumber merohant. Mr. Brown took out of bis pocket-book a ten dollar note snd banded it to Mrs. Brown, Hy ing, “Here my dear, are ten dollars to wards the twenty I promised you.” Mrs. Brown handed it to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner, raying, “That pays for my new bonnet.” Mrs. Andrews said to Mr. Jo% dan M she banded him the note, “That will pay for your work on my oounter. ” Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr. Hadly, the flour, feed and lumber merohant, requesting him to give him oredit for that amount on his lumber bill. Mr. Hadly gave the note back to Mr. Brown, saying: ‘That psys ten dollars on my board.’ Mr. Brown passed it to Mrs. Brown with the remark hat that paid the twenty dollars he had >romiaed. She, in turn, paid it to dr. Black, to settle her bread end pastry account, who handed it to Mr. Hadley, wishing oredit for that amount on his flour bill, be again returning it to Mr. Brown with the remark that it settled for that month’s board. Whereupon Mr. Brown put it book into bis pocket book, exolaiming that he never thought a ten dollar note would go so far.' Thus a ten dollar greenback wm made to pay ninety dollars indebtedneM inside of five min utes. Who rays greenbacks are worth less ? OLD AND RELIABLE SOLUBLE PACIFIC TRIUM PH ANT!

The difference is that a reg istered letter does not go in th* mail proper. It passes from bend to hand ont- aida the mail ponohaa, every person tbrongh whose hands it pasme being re quired to sign a receipt for it on receiv ing it, and aoonre a receipt for it on pass ing it over to the next in transit. The person bolding the laat receipt is thus always able to show who is accountable for tba loss. Tba responsibility rests upon the man wbo bra signed a receipt for the registered packege and who is not able to produce the package or a receipt from somebody else for it. The safMt way to send money ia by money order. Where it does not go to a money ordc r offloe it should always be sent in a regis tered package. Money ought not to be sent in an ordinary letter nnder any cir- oumstanoee. There ia no possible way of “tracking” snob a letter.—Ohio State Journal.
