Morriwothcr oounty la said to bo

In point of legal ability fnd sforttg
integjity, Judgo Warotr lin# no nupc-

Mr. Editor:—There has boon much
written, and moro said rolativo to tbo
propor propotions of tbo various crops
natural fo this section. A very largo
does condemn tbo syutom of cotton
planting n/most to it* exclusion. Of
this class a largo majority aro con-
Utimers who aro Interested in largo
grain crops, and of consoquonco low
prices. Wo roadily admit this is host
fur non producers.
j&uolhdr class, uot so uumorous,
contond that as cotton fa tho prineiptd
money crop, moro money can bo raado
by planting all colfon-aud buying all
itupplico. In fanning, as in almost
overy thing ol«o, tbero is a middle
ground, and in tins, wo thir k, Is to bo
found tbo only safety for tbo southorn
fanner and planter. It is this; Itaiwo
all tho corn, whoat, oats, potatoos,
liogn, cattlo and m tiles, nccossary for
homo consumption and uso, but uot
to soil; then raloo all tho cotton poa-
siblo.
Now for tho reasons*
1st We cannot successfully compote
with tho Groat West in tho ruising of
any of tho grain crops, and concc-
quotilly in stock raining, for it is a no
torious fact that they can mala and
ship grain to tho south for loos than
its production coats us.
2d. Corn impoverishes land morn
than cotton. It will not bo douied
that more is added to tho laud from
the stalk, hulls, seed and leaves of
cotton, than there from tho stalk iu
Mhtfr. Editor:—Our oootlon within
tbo past two woeks, has boon blessed
with rain; somo places loo much, otb
era hardly enough, but all groatly
bonofltod. Crops havo improved con
siderably aud with uo further disaster
will mako a fair average. Cotton is
brauohiug fiuoly, and heavily loaded
with forms. Corn iu small but hns a
good color and is growing finely. Our
whout has all bcou threshed and hous
ed in good condition. Tho quality is
oxoolont, aud tho yield wo thiuk, rath
er moro than an avorngo; somo of our
(armors making as high as fourtcou
buuhclo to ono sowing, aud that, too,
without fertilizers, and by simply
scratching iu tho seed iu lho old way,
What could wo mako by proper prop-
oration aud aliboral uaa of fortillzois ?
Our Bnbbath Bchool and woekly
pruyor mooting utill continues with
uuabatod iu forest, A deep religious
feeling seems to porvado our whole
comtnuuily, aud much good iu expect
oil to result thorofrom.
A series of religious mootiugu will
oommonco at Autioch Church on Fr
day night boforo next 4tli Bubbnth.
Tho Habbath School, Qraugors and
citizous gouornly, purposo having n
oolobratiou and basket dinner somo
timo during next month, of which
your roadoiu will be advised in duo
timo.
Wo think that tho “Record” man
must bo getting rich, cluo iu backed
by a heavy capital, for tho reason that
ho proposoa to ftuuish so much n ail
ing matter for such a email amount
of wheat, and for tho farther roason
that ho proposes to do tho county ad
vertising for nothing. Conductors of
nowspaporo, wo prccoivo aro not free
from tho iutirmitio* of their fellow
in on. If tho proprietor should hap
pen to "mu aground" in his very uu-
8clfii.li efforts to maintain a news-
papor without expense to its patrons,
and a saving to tho lax payers of tho
county of such a huyc amount of
money which tho printers would oth-
orwiso get, for in luting tho oounty
advertisements, toll him not to "go
west" but to “coiuo oast" wboro ho
can at loast Loop himself and family
in “hog and hominy," and not bo sub-
joctod to HO many of tho petty annoy
ances ol ucuvspapordom.
As biographical skotches of nninvn
living men booms to ho tho order of
the day, wo propose . to furnish your
readers at somo fuluro d vy, u sketch
of the life of a very noted cilueti ol
this county, viz, Cm* ' lUt* . •
That's All
3d. An aero of land that will prodco
twoufcy bushels of corn, will yield ono
half bale of cotton. Tut tho corn ut
soventy-fivo cents, (aud wo vonluro to
say it will not bring fifty coats por
bushel, if our fannors generally mako
it to soli) and wo havo fifteen dollars
por aero. Two hundred and fifty lbs
of lint cotton, at ten conlo per lb will
mako twenly-fivo dollars. It in said
this incrcaso of vnluo of cotton over
jru, la overbalanced by tho increas
ed cost of its production. Wboro
tbero is an equal division of tho crops
between land lord uiln tmaut, tho for
mer purchasihg laud, slock and food
for tho steel;, tho landowner pays no
moro for tho cultivation of an aero of
cotton than for ono of corn. But you
ask how about tho renter? Wo nu-
nwor that in a largo majority of in
stances ho dooo uot pay out ono cent
for labor, which is dono by himsolf
and family; .that there is not so much
diflorcnco iu tho cost of tho produc
tion of tho two, and that as renters
seldom romnin at ono plaoo long,
should tho crop of corn bo largo, tho
cost of transportation would bo sufil-
ciontly grout, if moved any distauco,
to “oat up" tho profits.
4th. Wlmt would bo tho vnluo of
corn, wheat, oats, hogs aud slock l
ovory farmer wero to prcduco and
raico them to soil? Wo off r tho fol
lowing figures, behoving they aro not
underestimated.
Corn 50 clu por bushel. Whoat 75
cIb; oats 40 ctn; bacon 8 ots por lb;
inulos and horses from fifty to seventy-
five dollars oaoli.
Proof: Whit is tho prioo of whoat
w w, that fanners have just harvested ?
Ono dollar por bushel, and that loo,
when tho avorngo of tbo couuty will
not o.xoood threo bushels per aero.
Last win tor, wbon most farmers batl
somo stock to soil, mules wore a drug.
Why lay all our liunuei d troubles to
tho production of cotton? Who is
making urjuoy ? The morohant, law
yer or doctor V Ono probably, in ton.
There aro fully nu many farmers
mako monoy.
Wlmt is tho causoof this stringency
in money matters all over tho union f
Wo will not attempt to answer for tho
Gcction north id Mnuoua and Dixooii
lino. But for our own section wo an
swer; a corrupt government, misguid
ed legislation, lie extensive uso of
high priced fertilisers, c.rjtenmcnts ii
free labor, for which wo pay highc
than almost any eouulry, aud great
oat of all, reckless uubridolod oxtrav
ngnnee. Loft by tho vioisitudea ui‘ tho
war well nigh bankrupt, labor doiuoi
alined, corrupted and controlled by
unprincipled adventurers, our people
plunged into oxtravaganqes tho most
suicidal. Lot us all lonru lcssoua of
economy from tho oad oxporii
tho past few years, and whatever tho
crop may bo, this southern land of
ours, will soon flourish aud prosper
with abundance and content,
may it be. Fame
could visit tho town now bo would not
rccognizo it. Thcro is not a bettor
business town of its size in Georgia,
Tbo history of Forsyth is tho history
of every town whero tho pooplo havo
stood squarely up to their pnper."
Dentil of General Henning.
Ocn. Henry L. Henning, the war
rior, tho jurist aud advocato, is no
more. Tho telegraphic wires brought

tle of tho wilderness. His bravery,
coolness and indopondouoo gavo him
tho sobriquet of “Old ltock.’’ Tho
closo of tho war left him with shatter-

The Important Subject
Of Life Insunrnco ia gradually nnd
doscrvodly gaining public attention by
tho far CO of its own merits. The timo
is not far distant wltou tho doatli of a
man leaving his family unprovided
for by a policy of Lifo Assurance, will
leave tho staiu of neglected duty upon
his character. It is a duty which ov
ory ono owes to his owti dependents
and to tho community. Uo who neg
lects it is not a good husband, fathor
or citizen. Ho has no right even to
risk tho chance of tbrowiug tho futuro
support of his farniiy, iu caso of his
death, on tho community at large,
on relatives and frionds, whon it is in
his power so easily to provido against
such contingencies.
The Mobile Lifo

Iu tho middlo rands of lifo fow have
much capital to loavo for tho benefit
of their families, iu tho event of tho’

of a family can mnko sure Hint, din

Boven per cent, iu forest, and has
tho assurance, nil through those twen
