The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel is unjust
to us when it saya:
The Telegraph seta itself up aa not onlv the
authorized c^DA«»r of the Press of th^ State,
but actually asanraes the right of dictating to the
people its own peculiar views as to their social
relations, obligations and condnct We deny
the right of the Telegraph to speak in either
capacity. I» is true its Editor was made Presi
dent of the Press meeting which assembled in
Atlanta on the 23d of August, but with the ad
journment of that lx»dy his office terminated
His ru-ht to dictate to the people of the Stste
the rule which shall regulate their intercourse
has even less foundation.
We entertain no personal unkindness toward
the Tflfobaph or its editor, and we ceitainly
should not h ve alluded to the course of that
paper if it had not made such a sweeping and
unjust charge against aII the papers in the State
which differ from it in regard to State and Fed
eral policy and politics
We have not the slightest desire to obtrude
our views upon contemporaries or toeriticise the
condnct of their own journals, or to call in ques
tion the motives which actuate them. We have
aII along stood simply on the defensive against
such attacks upon ourselves. The “dictation"
to people upon their “social relations, obliga
tions nnd conduct"—if any has been attempted
or practiced, obviously originated in the criti
cism upon the invitations of the Executive Com
mittee to the Fair. That Committee is not, as
seems to be supposed, a hfcicon committee, bnt
a committee of numerous gentlemen from nil
parts of the State Although in no way respon
sible for their action, yet approving it in the
main, how can our attitude of simple defence of
the committee be perverted into dictation and
censorship ? How can our efforts to vindicate
Ourselves from the charges of servility andtrnck-
ling nnd toadyism be charged as dictation to
others? Certainly we are not muddying the
waters, or playing wolf at the stream.
As to the Chronicle's allusion to the official
position of the writer, we have only to say that
as it was quite unsought by ns, so wo are ready
to relinquish it on the first opportunity.
Finally, the Chronicle and Sentinel gives ns a
trne and genuine touch of tho dictator in tho
following:
t When the TF.LEor.Arn ceases to be a representa
tive of trne Southern sentiment it should no
longer assume to be the organ of that sentiment.
The only complaint which wo have heretofore
made against that paper was that while it pre
tended to be Democratic it was surely, if not in
tentionally, working for tho snceess of R idical-
ism. We give it credit for too ranch intelligence
not to know that its coarse would lend, in the
end, to the inevitable resnlt cf dividing the
Deraocri i ic party in the State, and of strength
ening the Radicals.
The Tni.ronArn must bo permitted to exer
cise its own judgment upon what is Southern
and Democratic sentiment and may be held ex
cused for entertaining far more confidence in
tho correctness of its opinions on that snbject
than in those of the Chronicle. It was a Demo
cratic piper full half a centnry before the
Chronicle and Sentinel, and wo donhtnot will be
Democratic longer than that after the Chronicle
and Sentinel has left the party. Radicalism,
will live, flourish and grow fat on tho policy of
the Chronicle and Sentinel—it will die oat
speedily on that of the TeUHHUPII.
.Hiii’ti k Iiirill
Is mainifeatod by gentlemen of tho Executive
Oommitteo with whom we have oonvemed. at
tho b ickwnrdnt-ss of tho preparations for the
State Fair, and thoy beg us e irnestly to call on
the city authorities and the local committee by
every consideration connected with the success
of tho enterprise nud the honor of M tcon to
arouse in time to save themselves. The race
track ms to the fair is bnt a drop in tho bucket
and nothing else has been touched. If necessa*
ry put five hundred men to the work rather
than be behindhand. Awake! Awake!!
. Another Kxlra Train.
If the President or the members of his Cab
inet and other leading and influential gentlemen
of the R ulioal party will visit the fair, we are
qnito sure that no offensive or nnkind words
will he uttered against them. We further be
lievc tli it the members of Gen. Grant’s Cabinet
nnd other offioi ils of the Government will be
tendered a sja-cial train from Savannah, if they
Qome by that route, hut we do not wish to see
Bullock put forward as the representative of the
State to receive them.—Chronicle and Sentinel,
6th.
These guests, we presume, would be received
by the managers of the Fair us the inviting
party, just as would the guests of the other ex
tra train. For the committee to refuse one train
because it was tendered by Governor Bullock
and accept another because it was tendered by
the Central Railroad, would be a very partizm
nnd invidious proceeding; and when the guests
by each train arrived, they would intermingle
at once. The President aud Cabinet would re
cognize Gov. Bullock as Governor, aud, we dare
say, the Chronicle aud Sentinel would have to
be oa the watch nil the time, lest the Executive
Committee and all the people should treat the
passengers by both trains with indiscriminate
civility and politeness.
The Mission’ or Secretary Bourwell to
Pennsylvania.—The telegrams yesterday duly
reported the efforts of Secretary Bontwell to
reach Philadelphia in the teeth of storms and
high water, but left ns to conjecture an explan
ation of the urgent demand upon Mr. Bontwell
to go to Philadelphia. This is probably ac
counted for by a special to the Charleston News,
which says :
The Hon. John Covode telegraphed that Sec
retary Bontwell must go to Pennsylvania and
spe.ik, or the campaign would fill. The Sec
retary left the city at once, and speaks in Phil
adelphia to-night.
What is the master with the Pennsylvania
campaign, and how happens it that nothing but
a speech from Mr. Bontwell will save it from
failure? Are the people excited about the op
erations in the gold m irket ? Do they charge
the kiting to the connivance or the lapse of Mr.
Bontwell? Are they arftjry with him, and do
they call loudly for explanation? It looks that
wav.
The Npeeial Train lor lit?! 1+d Gneaf*.
The regular meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the State AgricaltnrAl Society takes
place to*day, and they will doubtless consider
and dispose of the proposition to send a special
train for their invited guests.
We have personally no interest whatever in
the conclusion they may come to. It is true,
the writer happened, by accident, to be the
medinm of conveying the proposition to the
Committee and the public, and verr honestly
| believed that it was in furtherance of the gen
eral policy of the Committee in inviting the
i Northern guests, and. as such, would be accept-
j able to the Committee.
We had no conception that the tender of con-
1 veyance to their invited guests coaid possibly
j make all this clamor, and change the entire
character of the transaction from ono of cour
tesy, honorable on the part of the Committee,
to an act of servility and toadyism, which it has
: come to be characterized.
Nor can we now discover the slightest fonn-
‘ dation in reason for this marvellous transmuta
tion If A invites a number of guests to dine
at his bouse, and B makes a proposition, in a
, spirit of liberal civility and mutual friendliness,
j to transport these guests to A’s house, as neither
of the parties happens to own a carriage, we
j cannot comprehend the process of reasoning
1 which sbonld briDg A “to the conclusion that he
i could not accept B’« proposition, withoat a
compromise of personal dignity which would
j change his hospitality to toadyism.
But suppose B should make this proposition
j in the presence of A and the invited guests, and
A should thereupon indignantly decline it; does
it no f put a new face entirely upon A’s invita-
| lion? Did he honestly desire these guests to
! dine with him ? If so, by what right does he
j intervene to deprive them of the advantages
nnd facilities for going to the dinner offered by
j B ? What inference can the guests draw from
j such officious interference between themselves
I and B. except that A’s invitation was insincere—
that be either does not desire them to come, or,
l.to say the least, is very indifferent whether they
come or not ?
Now this is precisely the case with the pro-
I posed extra train. If it had been left to the
j proposition dropped by the writer in one of
his letters from the Press Excursion, and noth
ing more said about it, no unsatisfactory angary
could, perhaps, have been drawn from the fail
ure of the committee to consider or accept the
proposition. Bnt it became, of a sndden, the
theme of much notice and denunciation by a
portion of the Georgia pr^ss, and the attention
of the whole country has been drawn to the sub
ject
The qnestion for tho Committee to consider,
therefore, is upon what principles of a genuine
and sincere act of courtesy, they shonld inter
vene to debar their invited gneats of the conve
nience of gratuitous and special transportion to
the scene of hospitalities proffered by the com
mittee ?
We know of none whatever. On tho contrary,
*.re cannot comprehend how, nnder the circum
stances, a failnre to accept the transportion of
fered, will not be liable to the interpretation
that the committee are at least indifferent
whether their invited Northern guests come or
stay away. Snch action would not bo in the
spirit of a genial, hearty hospitality, becoming
the people of this or any other State.
We are bonnd to assume that the Committee
waut these their invited guests to come, and
.that, in accordance with that disposition, they
will cheerfnllv accept in their behalf every aid
which will insure their coming, as woll ns every
proffer of hospitality which will make their visit
pleasant and comfortable. We bold, then, that
the Committee shonld accept the proffer of the
special train and send some of their nnmber with
it to meet their guests, in a spirit of unreserved
and cordial hospitality.
We come now to a word abont the propriety
of invitim? these Northern guests. It is on© of
the most singular facts in jonrnslism, that of
all the newspapers which have assailed the ex
tra train with so mneb bitterness and contempt,
not one. so far as we have noticed, has con
demned the inviting of these guests! It is true
same of the invitations have been denounced;
bnt ns to the general propriety of inviting North
ern people to come down and see us, nnd see
the Fair, we have not observed that a single
jonmsl has condemned it.
But when you concede that the invitations are
proper, everything in this connection is conced
ed. because it is manifestly one of the plainest
laws of hospitality that nothing conducive to
the enjoyment of the guests, nnd within easy
compass by the host or entertainer, can be law-
fnlly omitted. If all the railroad shonld pro
pose to bring all tho invited guest, without
charge to them or to tho committee, it would
manifestly bo an act of inhospitality in the latter
to decline the proposition. Tho whole reason
is therefore conceded when you concede that
the committee did right in inviting Northern
gnests.
And what was, after all, the main reason
which governed this body in extending these
invitations ? It was one pertaining to tho vin
dication of Georgia from aspersion and re
proach. For four or five years it has been con
stantly charged that Northern men are unsafe
here—are persecuted—are rndely treated. That
political and sectional persecution is rampant—
that society is disordered —the people violent,
intolerant, unfriendly and evil disposed; and
upon these allegations is founded tho whole
system of sectional and federal persecution from
which we suffer.
The design of the Committee in inviting large
numbers of prominent Northern men to come
down to Georgia and spend a considerable
time here, on an occasion in which they could
mingle with a vast number of onr people, and
learn their feelings and opinions by personal
intercourse, was conceived in wisdom and pa
triotism.
So the Committee were also anxious in this
way to make known the material resources of
the State—to invite immigration, investment
nnd improvement, and finally to contribute in
directly in every way to the inauguration of a
better state of feeling, and through it to the es
tablishment of the securities of good govern
ment, law and order and the advancement of
the best interests of Georgia and the Union.—
Can it be necessary to defend so enlighted a
policy ?—and when you concede its wisdom, you
concede everything which his of late been made
the snbject of an ill-timed and needless invective
and clamor.
Maeon and Aagvtfa Railroad.
At the meeting of stockholders in Augusta on
i the 4tb, the following gentlemen were elected
! Directors of the Macon and Augusta Railroad
Company : H. F. Basse 11, W. E Jackson, John
P. King. H Moore, W. J. McGrath, H. J. Lane,
B. B. DeGraffenreid, Geo. S. Obear, G. H.
Hazlehurst, W. H. Ross, J. T. Gardiner, S. D.
Heard.
At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Di
rectors, Geo. H. Hazlehurst, Esq., of Macon,
was elected President.
The following were the reports of the Chief
Engineer and Secretary and Treasurer :
The contract recommended by that Conven
tion was perfected soon after adjournment with
Messrs. Geo. G. Hull & Co., and the work has
been entered upon with vigor and dispatch.
One thousand hands are now engaged on the
grading, masonry, bridging and timber getting
on the line of the road.
Ono cATgo of one thousand tons of Iron rails
were ordered immediately, and is now on its
way from Europe, and may be expected to reach
the port of Charleston at an early day. So soon
as this cargo arrives the track-laying will at once
be commenced at Milledgeville, and pushed up
on the eight miles of graded road-bed south of
that point.
Active measures are being taken to complete
the Ocmulgee Biver bridge at Macon at the earl
iest day. with the purpose of starting track-lay
ing at that end of the line.
Under the arrangements made, it appears
reasonable to suppose the contracts for comple
tion will be folfilled in advance of the time stip
ulated. The character of the work is generally
heavy, the country being rugged and broken, in
volving deep cuts and high embankments.
The amount which has been expended on the
grading since the commencement of the contract
is some $75,000.
It is gratifying to report the condition of the
running portion of tho road between Warrenton
and Milledgeville to be excellent.
Heavy repairs have been made during the
summer on trestle-works, new timbers having
been substituted for all showing the least de-
cay.
The Oconee bridge has been covered, tinned
and painted.
Altogether the rood may be considered in
first-rate condition.
The statement of the earnings as presented
I by the Georgia Railroad, now operating the
J finished portion, from April 1st, 1888, for twelve
months, show receipts of gross earnings of
$45123.52.

Bat this statement docs not include the inter
est on the company’s first mortgage bonds
amounting to 28,000 per annnm or seven per
cent, on the loan of 8400,000, nor officers’ sal
aries, nor contingencies. It will, therefore, be
seen that there has been a deficit of §3000 per
month or 836.000 per annnm incurred by the
year's operations. It was this showing that
made -it apparent that something shonld be
done, and that quickly, to save the road from
ruin and the stockholders from the loss of every
dollar of their investment. Tho extension of
the line to Macon was the sole alternative, and
this fortunately has been secured by tho con
tract with Messrs. Geo. G. Hull & Co.
I feel the utmost confidence that, upon com
pletion of the road to its destination, we shall
not only be able to meet the interest on the
fnnded’debt of the company, but also pay a
small dividend to stockholders. "With the natu
ral increase of business and a return of prosper
ity to the fine farming country traversed by the
road, we may rest assured that dividends will
constantly increase with the progress of the
coming time.
Apart from the profit whioh, as the shortest
line between Augusts and Montgomery we shall
derive by the transii of passengers and through
mail and express business, I believe that the
legitimate bnsiness between the two cities of
Augusta and Macon, and the local traffic on our
line will enable as to meet expeases and the in
terest on the bonded debt of the Company.

Zebulon, October 5, 18C9.
Editors 1 elegraph : Oar crop prospects are
pretty good, considering tho excessive drought-
We are making plenty of corn. It is generally
J as full a crop as the land will produce. We are
making about a half a crop of cotton, where fer
tilizers were used, and a very scanty crop indeed
where hone was used. If guano was not so
high we could do better.
Wheal.
The time is now close at hand when the sow
ing of wheat ought to begin. Many planters in
this part of “the moral vineyard," have been so
often disappointed by failure of crop, that they
hesitate and either sow too late and upon un
prepared soil, or not at all. Well, we have been
disappointed—sadly so this year—but the fault,
in part at least, was in trusting too much to
knowing freedmen, and not giving that personal
attention which so important a crop demanded.
At any rate, our motto is, “Try, try again.”
We propose “first, to consider briefly," some
of the main causes of failnre. Generally speak
ing, instead of studying the snbject carefully,
and selecting that soil best adapted to the pro
duction of wheat, we cotton-worshippers select
such as will produce the least cotton. This, we
say, is too generally the case. At snch time
as suits our convenieqces, we go into the field
and commence seeding, amid corn-stalks, grass,
weeds—everything that is left npon the ground
after gathering the previous crop. Some of
the grain is thus covered six. eight or ten inch
es beneath the vegetable heap drawn up by the
plow, some'is not covered at all, and the whole
field is left with anything but an even surface.
Instead of selecting seed best adapted to onr
climate and soil, we take that easiest to obtain.
We do not say this coarse is unicersnlly pur
sued, but it is more the custom than any
other. We add, also, that if any crop has to
go without manure, it is the one. Is it sur
prising, then, that we make but few good wheat
crops ?
Experience is a dear school, bnt having passed
through it, let’s to the remedy.
Select well drained land, away from creeks and
branches, with good foundation, break up and
fit your land for the reception of the seed before
sowing. Give a good dressing of suitable ma
nure, select good seed—that least subject to
rust—and put it in the ground, leaving surface
smoothe and nice for the young wheat when it
snoots up. and the chances are good that a fair
I crop will be the result.
' Wheat grown upon low, swampy land, is al
most sure to rust: hence we say sow on the up
lands. “Keep off the swamps.’’ was the advice
given to ns, by an experienced thrasher, a good
many years ago, as we were starting the first
time' with a field thrash. We reiterate the same
to those about to sow wheat.—SanderscUle Cen
