Col. Carey W. Styles, and Col.
11. I’. Bell addressed the citizens
of the county upon the political
question of the day, at the court
bouse on Monday last. Col. Styles
is a very fluent and interesting i
speaker, md is well posted upon*
political questions. The speech of
Col. I'ell was al-o a fine effort. 11 e
speeches were listened to with
marked attention. |
A few days ago, a Canton mer
chant on opening his store,
heard a noise in the back room,
which sounded very much like the *
hissing of a rattlesnake. He be- (
came excited, if not a little fright- ;

some parties who were standing
near, of the fact, and they all start
ed for the back room to annihilate
his snakeship, but none cared to go
farther than the middle door. But
our colored friend. Army Scott, was
equal to the occasion, and after
watching the cautious manuvres of
the* party a moment or two, said:
‘•You needn't be afeared to go in
d.ir; dem little chimley sweepers
aint agwine to hurt you." On hear
ing this, our devil was inspired
with frosh courage, and marched

A Cailtmiian Iti South Carolina.
Messrs Editors: I left your little
town „n Monday, July 10th, 1876, for South
Carolina, mv native State, where I arrived
on rtiuislay, July 13th ; and, ns you rc
qtl.shd me, 1 will write you a short sketch’
I of the country through which 1 passed ; a
distance ot about one hundred and * til y
miles.
Leaving Canton, I travelled an Easterly
direction for nine miles, when 1 arrived at
the residence of Mr. J. .1 Maddox, of Or-'
I ange, who invited me to‘‘light, mid put up.”
I This I did with pleasure. And. here you
i will allow me space to say that Mr. M is
i one of the most energetic, persevereing, go
* ahead citizens of Cherokee county. Mr M.
is a gieat advocate of education, and has*
done more for the cause than any other
mao in that portion ol the county. Mi. M.
ii. fumed us that there were tour public
s hools taught within three miles ofOrange,
with an average attendance of thirty sch< 1 i
ars each. I met Mr 8- W. Johnson, also, I
at Mr. M’s. He hid just returned from !
Louisville, Ky., where he has been attend
itig lc< lure-, al the Medical College. He is
going to teach a three months school, free
of charge.
The ctops along the road leading from
Canton to Grange, are very tine,and I heard
several old citizens say thev never saw a
better piospect for a good yield of corn.
1 let! Orange on Tuesday morning, by times,
for Gainesville. The road is a very level
one. ami lead me through the richest coun
try on mv route. Mr.t before reaching
Gain.'ville, I passed through a portion of
Forsyth county, in which county the crops
<rv g <sl. One Mr. Moon, who lives in
Kr. a.<. wad with whom I took dinner on
the 11th, has, so he says, about 110 acres in
corn, which is nearly as high as a in mi’s
head, provided his head is not too high.
I saw the corn m self, and admit that it is
fine, but cannot say how much there isot it...
After partaKing of a splemli 1 dinner at Mr.
M’s, 1 started on my journey, and arr.vcd
at Gainesville t»n the evening of the 11th.
Gainesville is a very nice little town, on the
lir Line road, 42 miles East ot Canton. It
is beautifully "laid off, and his some fine
buildings. As I didn’t haye time io look
around, I proceeded on a lit tie farther, to
the re i '.cnce of one Mr. Ad i.ngton, who L
a good farmer, and a c imlid tie for tne leg
islature, where I was well taken care of
that night. On Wednesday morning, I
s'arled for J irrett’s bridge, where 1 ai r ved
tt 7 o’clock in the evening. I saw some
tolerably good firms on the way, but th •
country is gen ra’ly poor; most’y black
jack ridges. These ridges have no timber
on them that is of any use. The Curahee
mountain, which I p tssed, is a*'Oitt three
fourthsofa mile high, almost perpendicu
tar, and tl.e highest point on the Air Line
road.
I next came to Ta'coa City, a little vil
lage on the Air Line. This town is about
three years old, and is larger than Can‘on
Thus you see the advantages of railroad f’>-
ciJitics. I spent Wedites lay t»igbt with
Mr. C. K Jarrett, who is one ot the richest
men in Habersham county. Mr. J. had
just finish'-d planting his corndhat day; hi
first planting liavkig all b ren. washed away,
by the late freshe’. lie informed me that
the settlings on his bottoms, on the I’ngalo
river, were from one fourth of an inch, to
•wo feet deep. Great damage was done in
-evcral comities in Sou h Carolina and
Georgia.
On Thursday morning I started for the
residence of my father, F. F Sharp, where
[ arrived about 6 o’clock in the evening,
md found all ‘ well as common?’ Since
that time, I have been visiting my Iriend
and acqu lintances, who sp med to be glad
to see me.
As I have already written more than will
lie interesting to your rca'lers, 1 will close,
though I could m ike this twice as long, but
I know the trouble of long communications
and I do not propose to worry the “printer
nor the reader. Hoping to be with you
soon, I remain vours respectfully,

Since our last writing the weathm-has
been warm ami dry. Wc hear a goo.;
many complaints of crops suffering lor rain
Wheat threshing has Ivcn the order of the
• lay for the last few weeks. We arc sorry
to say that the wheat crop is almost a total
fa 1 ire. The only wheat war’ll sow.t.g was
<»a fresh or manured gr >und.
Our triend, S. W. Worley says be is rais >
ing the melon for The Georgian. W c
informed him that he might bring it tip to
us, and we w<iuld take care ot it. Bring
t along Samt:< 1, as quick us you please
We arc in ormed that M r . Richardson
owed ot.c and a half bu-hels of wheat last
fall, and that he made thirty-three bushels.
A fanner f.-otn the same s ction (S laco .)
tells us th it he sowed about thirty, ami
m ule one hundred bushels. xV m-ighiior <4
ours says he furnished eight bushels, fttr
ni hed land, and stock, and recieved at
threshing time, one and a halt bushels,
nearly, to his part. Now wc all confess
that this has been a very unfavorable yen
for wh «at, but why Is it that Mr. R. math
so good a crop? Was it bt cause he had
better land, ora better season? No; w<-
stv it was because he manmed his land,
plowed it well and s >we I in duo time.
We have felt for a long time that out
people were pur-tiing a ruinous policy
hat they w-re sowing too much mh■; t
on land not adapted to the growth of the
same. Farmers, as a class, are hard work
ing men. and strive to plant a 1 irgc crop
so they will have workpleuty for all the
hands to do, and they must Sow large crops
of wheat so they can have a big harvest,
and make seed to sow again. Think ot the
hundreds of bushels that are annually pul
tn the ground, the labor it tak -s Ac., and
th< n look at the result. Very often not
getting the seed ba< k. We had letter quit
it—better trysmne other plan.
