worth of manufactured goods, and Mississippi
86,000,000. In the last ten years Mississippi
has increased her production of manufactured
goods $2,000,000 only, while Georgia has
added 820,000,000 to hers.
I doubt if any part ^f any State was as
much devastated during the civil war as that
part of Georgia between Atlanta and the
Tennessee line; but the people are gradually
improving their condition, and will, ere long,
be prosperous. That is the best part of the
best cotton State. And while I do not say
the foregoing is a good showing for Georgia,
I do say it proves that a ’State, ridden and
robbed by degrees and scalawags, is not more
i irosperous than a State controlled by white
Democrats. For the truth of history exacts
the statement that we have had a few jour
neymen thieves in Georgia who whould not
feel complimented to have it said that South
Carolina or Mississippi conld produce. their
superiors. They have left their foot-prints
upon the old red sand stone of Georgia, and
there itfwll stay, and when our prosperity or
the waut of it is, talked about should be re
membered.
The day will come when Georgia, in place
of employing 20,000 hands, as she now does,
will give work to 100,000; in place of turn
ing out 835,000,000 worth of manufactured
goods she will put on the market annaully
8150,000,000 worth. If wise statesmanship,
coupled with industry and frugality by her
people, prevail, in twenty-five years Georgia
will be without a rival for the leadership of
her Sourthern sisters; in fifty years she will
rank with the first States af the Union. God
grant all the people of all the States the ob
servance of Georgia’s motto, “Wisdom, jus
tice and moderation.” Respectfully,

A REPLY TO MR. CHARLES NOUDIIOFF.
Caktersthj.e, Ga., Sept. 13,1875.
To the Editor of the X. Y. Herald:
Your correspondent, Mr. Nordiioff, in a
late letter upon affairs in Georgia, institut
ed a comparision between Georgia and
Mississippi, by which lie demonstrates to
his own satisfaction that Mississipi, notwith
standing negro rule, is in a more prosperous
condition than Georgia, the latter being
controlled by the white Democrats since
1870. While I intend to show by the facts
that Mr. Nordhoff is in error, it will be
useful to keep it in mind that it has been
live years only that the people of G*r Ql S' ;l
who are interested in the welfare of the
Commonwealth, have had the reins of gov-,
erment. ...
Mississippi is a younger State than Geor
gia, and its soil is naturally richer. Tlie
Mississippi bottoms are not surpassed for
fertility by the lands of any State in the
Union. It takes more labor and higher
culture to produce as good results from
Georgia soil as Mississsippi soil produces.
About one-fourth of the entire areaofGeorgia
is made useless for agricultural purposes nv
mountains and hills iu the northeastern part
of the State, and by swamps in the southern
part. There is a considerable portion of
Mississippi too low for cultivation, but
there is no part too high. About the same
number of acres in each State arc used for
the growth of grain crops, while there is
more land given toTOttorr in Georght-than
in Mississippi. And it may he useful.hero
to state that the total area of Georgia is 57,-
000 square miles, and that of Mississippi
47,000 square miles. The population of
Georgia is 1,185,100; that of Mississippi
827,922.
The gram and hay crop of Georgia for
1869 brought over 832,000,000, arid tnaf of
Mississippi 828,300,000. The value of all
property in Georgia in 1866 was $222,000,-
O00, which by the returns of 1874 is shown
to %S*4i aJrawd-■*&■ $dro,0$Qjl»o. This
makes an increase in six years in Georgia
values of-$51,000,000. The ret unis show
that Mississippi for the same period has not
increased in the value of her property $20,-
000,000. (t
Mississippi, which lias honestly earned
the cognomen of the “ Cow State,” in 1860
slaughtered and sold for slaughter, animals
of the valuo of a tittle over $7,000,000,
while Georgia for the same purpose pro
duced'$11,000,0.00 worth.: In 1870 Missis
sippi slaughtered only $4,000,000 worth,
while Georgia bad $7,000,000 worth to nse
in that, wqy. In this matter Georgia lias
sustained her 'superiority in a very striking
manner. The annual product of Georgia is
' $10,000,000 worth more than that of Mis
sissippi. Gcorgii* 'fe<'ory'yCw->' bays md’re
than $20,000,000 for help, while Mississippi

There are oply three States in the Union
which pay more in this way than Georgia
—to wit: New York, Pennsylvania aud
Illinois—while there afe fiine tvhieh pay
more than Mississippi. Georgia, on $273,-

.1 Census-Taker's Experience in El
mira.
I had just received my appointment and
started out to begin my labors as a ‘ Census-
taker.’ New to the business, and having
been forewarned of coming troubles in the
way of rebuffs from sensitive ladies, stupid
folks and others, I had determined to be
gin iu such a way as to win attention from
those I was to approach. Here is an ac
count of the first call in my district in Che
mung county:
My folio, blanks and pencil were all in
good shape, and after having rung a door
bell, I calmly awaited the answer to my
call. An old lady cautiously opened the
door. ‘ Madam,’ I said, ‘ I have called for
the census.’ * Yes!’ she replied calmly, with
a look that told she failed to realise the
force of my statement. I repeated the
words—‘ Madam, I have called for the cen
sus.’ A stare of surprise and re-adjustment
of her spectacles prefaced the reply. 4 Yes;
what did you say':’ Again I said, and with
perhaps too much emphasis, 4 The census—
the census, you know.’
• I know, do I—no, I don’t. I guess
you’re crazy, ain’t you? Who he you?’
Thereupon, she grasped the door-knob
and barricading with her well developed
form the portals of her home, showed tne
at a glance how complete was her mastery
of the situation, should matters demand an
exhibition of her powers.
Then quoth she: ‘Now Mister, I don’t
know who yon be, nor what yon want; but
if you’ve left yonr senses anywhere, we
haiiit got’em, and don’t want’em-and
you’d better go along.’ The words were
nothing to me—but the derisive smile that
lighted her good old face annoyed me. But
intent oil business, I opened my folio and
prepared to ask the appointed question.
‘Madam,’ I asked, * arc you the lady of
the house?’ ‘ Oh, ho! you’re pedlar, are
you? Oh I see—but wc don’t wan’t any
thin" to-day.’
Madam,’ I rejoined, 4 you don’t under
stand, I am after the census.*
A confused and anxious look again settled
upon her face; but with an effort she said:
‘Poor fellow, you are craay, ’ain’t you
mad as > a March-hare—but I guess you
won’t hurt anybody—hut—I—wish—hut
bmnt got your senses—so now do go along,
won’t you?’ Onco more I essayed my work.
4 No, go, Madam; you don’t understand,
the Census—the census, your age and occu
pation
Evidently, the old lady was alarmed. A
look of earnestness came upon her, as she
nervously replied, 4 Goodness, gracious, me!
how yon do stick!’ and putting her head be
hind the lialf-slmt door, she screamedlwith
a voice that would have honored a railway
engine: 4 liar—rit! Har—r—rit! do come
here in a minit and see a fellow that is as
crazy as a loon! ‘Then turning to me she
added, ‘Lord—a—sake! ‘I don’t know what
to dof’~ and then “she turned and screamed
again—‘Har—r—rit, why don’t you come!
llere I am with a mail as crazy as a bed-
bag! liar—r—r—it;’ and the welkin rung
as with a clarion blast. The neighborhood
was aroused.
Men, women and children came crowdin
Around, the steps and filled the sidewalks
about.
At this point, the scene became exciting.
Thp old lady alternated in screams for
4 Harrit,’ who failed to appear; *police!’ and
entreaties tb at I should leave.
