Baldwin Crops.—Day after dav passes
nnd more and more cheerless grows our
pro8]>cct for rain. Terrible ia the condi
tion of our suffering ciops, with not one
half of the cotton on many plantations
yet up. No year since the war has been
calculated to bear more gloomily upon onr
planters than this. Wet spring, back
ward preparation, bad cotton aead, aud
now the dryest of dry w-eatber.
Wo have abou' as much cotton planted
in Baldwin us we bad lust year, end think
rather more corn. We are sorry to chroni
cle an increase in tho use of commercial
lertiiizers (or dirt). List year, despite
the wet weather, the cotton w»s all up and
growing by this time; then we had aa ex-
tri me of wet weather. Now the case is
exactly reversed, aud we have extremely
dry weather.
Th c/op of Baldwin for 1871 was infe
rior, uiid present indications are that the
cotton crop of this connty for 1872 will
be less than that of 1871.

Arrest of a Murderer and MriiDK - -
ehf.—It is with gratification that we hi -
noiincii the arrest of E. F. Spann, the
rnu d rer of his wife in Webster county,
ou olio day of hist week, and also of his
accomplice in the foul deed, Sm-an Eber-
hart. They wero captured on Tuesday
afternoon about lo miles below Briiu-
didgo, in Ooffco oounly, i>y Deputy Sher
iff U. R. Adam**, of Webster county,
Georgia, and three other guntleimn
whose names we did not learn. Since the
pcrpolrntion of the murder, Sheriff' Ad
ams and posse have been trailing the par
ties with almost unerring course, aud, us
above stated, located and arrested thorn
on Tuesday. Hpinti was found inn cot
ton field hoeing tho plant, and was una
ware that his pursuers were upon him un
til it was too late to run or fight. As tho
shat iff and party leaped ovor the fence to
approach Spann, ho raised his boo and
started towards them, when tho sheriff
drobr his pistol and oidorcd him to sur
render, nnd ho dropped tho boo nnd gave
up. llis paramour was (lien found at the
house. When Bpauti was first accosted by
two of his pursuers in the field, he pre
tended Hot to kiiowr them, mid asked as
he approached them, what they w;ere a*-
restiug him for. Tluy soon satisfied him
on this point, and ho owned up. The
woman when arrested, immediately ac
knowledged hor complicity iu the mur
der.
Bponn says ho did not hang his wife,
hut choked her to death, Susan Eberhsrt
bold.ng a handkerchief over tho mouth
of deceased while ho was doiug ho. busan
si.i.l tho same thing aud promptly ac
knowledged her guilt.
The whole party passed through this
city yesterday ufternoon, ou their way
back to Webster county.
Wo gave tho particulars of this horrid
uffuir Home days ago, and it will be re
membered that Spann had a wife with
only one log, and that the woqnn, Susan
Eberhnrt, was living iu the house with
Spann and his wife, and this, perhaps,
account* for the plot of tho murder und
its must brutal aud demoniac execution.

No Corn Cons in Bullock.—We notic
ed upon onr idreets last week severd
small lots of cotton brought in upon
wagonm from the country. These com-
! iri«e the last of the crop which have been
leld in reserve by that small class of
planters who nro not under the necesaity
of mortgaging th<ir growing crops to
procure provisions for thia year. It were
well for the prosperity of the country if
their number wore incrcnsed a hundred
fold. The recuperation of the country
will not be established upon a solid basis
uu ll tbo i>eople make less cotton and
more corn. Large burns well tilled with
corn «re tbo surest indications, after all,
of returning prosperity. When the peo
ple have an abandanco of oorn of their
raising in their cribs, then they are pros
perous, biid only then. They have been
so uocustoincd since the war to use West
ern corn that a cob is one of the rarest
sights to be seen on their plantations,
corn cob pipes were us common now as
they once were we doubt very capitally
whether this whole county could furnish
enough r.f them to supply the home de
mand. Houthern planters are willingly
“hewers of wood aud drawers of water"
to western farmers. Blessed with a geni
al dim Ate and a fertile boil, they prefer to
pay their last Lard c.-.rued dollar to the
went, rather than raiss their own supplies
and live in «ar-e and independence. It is
for them to determine how long they will
continue this wretched, suicidal policy.

The Tow er of Influence.—It has been
said that u pebble, ii thrown into a placid
lake, will set in motion a succession of
circling wnv< h, which recoil only upon
reaching thu farthest shore. A like similo
may bo used iu reaped to tho inilneuees,
for good or evil, which cmnnuto from tho
lives of every human being—they extend
down the«lrfcum of time to tlio furthest
vergo of life, and how intimately con
nected they are with the dustiuios of
eternity, nouo but God can know. Wo
frequently hear people excuse themselves
from tho performance of a given duty, on
the shallow plea of “no influence"—or
tlmy will upologizj for sumo dereliction
of theirs, on the delusive ground that it
cau injure no one but themselves. Let
none of us consolo ourselves with such a
reflection. No man or womau ever yet
lived, who did not exert some influence,
either for good or evil, upon a greater or
less number of human beings. Society,
in fact, is so interwoven and blended
together, that such a thing as life without
any influence at all, is simply an absurd
proposition. Influence begins to exert
itself, it tony Lft, unconst lotihly, in the
cradle, and widens nnd deepens us lifo
advances, until what were gentle rivuleti
at first, grow in tonight y streams, bearing
on their bosoms ihu destinies, perhaps, of
numbers of immortal souls. We are told
in the Scriptures that “no muu livelh to
himself, and none dieth to himself"—
evidently teaching that nil men not only
exert an influence here, but they uro to
some extent responsible for the same.
Exactly how fur men and women nro to be
awarded in the world to coma for their
good influences upon the one hand, or
punished for their bail onus upon the
other, of courso nono of us cau tell: but
that such awurds will eventually ho meted
out to every one. in that day wheu Christ
shall make up ills jewels, wo can not for
a moment doubt. The linppiocsH of the
good man or woman iu tho bright world
above, we are persuaded, will Lo greatly
augmented, in looking back, by the r< flec
tion that Lu or she lias been instrumental
iu saving others; while if there is any
thing which cun add poignancy and inter
sity to tho tortures of the lost, it must be
the thought that they have dragged other
souls, besides themselves, down to the
world of woe—“whore their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched." Are
you prepared to doubt man's accounta
bility for his acts committed ? Then why
should bo not bo held responsible for
influences exerted, which led to acts ?
Taking tLis broad %iew of the power of
ii fl ioncv, each upon others, how* impor
tant it is that wo shonld strivo to exercise
it for tho good of our fellow men. What
a sad thing it is to see a person of wide
spread influence usiug his power to delude
and destroy others. But this same influ-
•nee, when, under tho grace of God, it ia
exerted to promote the oause of truth,
virtue and Christianity iu the world,
becomes a sight well pleasing to God and
His angels.

aperient, and six
excellent purgative.
Being purely vege
table, they contain
no mercery or mine
ral whatever. Much
serious sickness and
suffering is prevent
ed by their timely
use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required,
bong experience ha* proved them to be the saf
est, hu rust, and best of all the PUU with whirl*
thu market abounds. By their occasional use,
tlio blood Is purified, the corruptions of the sys
tem expelled, obstructions removed, and tha
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
when reckoned ou the vast multitudes who enjoy-
it, can hardly bo computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length of time, s<*
thnt they are ever iVcsh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operata
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet, oc
occupation.

action of the system. With such change thosa
complaints disappear.
For Diwasy and Drspalcal Iwslllift,
they should »e taken in large and frequent doses
to produce tho effect of a drastic, purge.
For Mapprstaatoa, a large dose should tva

Dinner nil, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates tho
system. Hence it Is often advantageous whera
no serious derangement exists. One who feela
tolerably well, often finds that a dose of thesa
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on th© dlgestiva
apparatus.
