We desire to have a greater enthusiasm among the Democracy of oui county, and waut the people to be fully alive as to the duties that devolve upon them. The contest in the coming election next month is just as itnportant, and the issue as grave as it has ever been here tofore. On the one hand we have the nominee of the party, endorsed by the intelligence, and good citizenship of the county entering the contest not for the sake of “ the loaves and fishes’’ blit in oliedience to the urgent solicita tions of the people, and in obedience to the patriotic calls of duty. On the other hand is disorganization, a .candi date endorsed by no party, sanctioned by no official body, pledged to no prin- ciples, but pandering to the prejudices of all. Such a man the people of Ilart will not and must not select as their representative. And on the 4th day of October the people of this county will show their appreciation of their past trophies and trumps by rolling up such a tremendous majority for their nominee, as will make the opposition candidate ashamed that he entered the that she is now prepared to do Dretwroukiiig in the Neatest and most fashionable styles.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION. The Sunday School at Providence Churcli held a celebration on Sabbath last, we are informed it was quite an enjoyable affitir. We are pleased to know the zeal the people of Providence manifest in the Sunday School cause. A few years ago the Sunday Schools all over the county were in a very nourishing condition, and the annual celebrations were large and brilliant. We fear that too little interest is now taken in the matter. Every Church in the county ought to have a Sunday School, and particular efforts made to make them entertaining as well as in structive to the young. EDUCATIONAL. It is now definitely settled that Prof. Looney .and. his admirable lady will remain in Hartwell the next year, and those who It'ave been hesitating can make their.arrangements accordingly. Those who can not or don’t wish to rent shouldfScome ahead and build. There are several strong reasons why Hartwell presents facilities superior to almost all ^&her places. Some ot these we propose to mention. In the first place \ws venture the assertion that the teasers who have charge of our high School can’t be surpassed in the State, that for thoroughness of cul ture and raplpfty with which they ad vance students, they have no equals. This of itself jp no small consideration. In the secondjfplace, Hartwell is most beautifully located with a fine bracing atmosphere, Jiving cheap—the moral tone of the place good, and no alluring and insiduous temptations thrown around students to deter them from ap plying themselves with assiduity to their studies. Students coming front a distance will meet with the most genial kindness and cordiality from our people, who are by nature aud practice, social, clever and agreeable. They are upt swayed and influenced by any artificial pagentry or false glamor of wealth, but they make solid worth the crfteiion of appreciation. Students whjthave to defray their own expenses, who at^not *• the favored mtze in dress, and forego lnduTgefifee apolis, Aliy t tu, to s- iu regard to the luxuries of life, yet if they manifest studious habits, and no ble and aspiring intentions, will re ceive the same approbation, and same encouraging aid from our people as those who are the proud inheritors of princely estates. In view of these facts, we confidently expect to witness an unparalleled success of the High School, the coming year. The people of our own county we feel will lend the institution their uncompromising and undivided efforts. Their patri otism as well as their own self interest will prompt them to do so. And just as soon as the true merits of our institution become circulated at a dis tance, and it is known that our School here is organized on a permanent ba sis, that we don’t inteud to be without a good School and the best of teachers, it will then begin to receive a more liberal patronage from other counties, and will be advanced to a brilliant pcs’tiou of success and influence. Let all our people co-operate and work zealously to accomplish this desirable result. The Yellow Fever. Savannah. September 9.—Total in terments to-day, 12, 10 of which were yellow fever. Of this number 7 were children, 9 years and under. From the Savannah A r ctcs we learn that on Friday the total interments was 16, 11 from yellow fever. Thus it would seem that the pestilence is abating. The News affirms that the excite ment is rapidly subsiding and that the streets present a more cheerful ap pearance. Gov. Tilden’s brother Moses Y. Tilden is dead. From Charleston. Charleston, Midnight, September 8.—The city is quiet, the streets being patrolled by detachments of the white clubs. The colored Democrats held a meeting to-night under the protection of a strong guard. THE LATEST. Charleston, September 9.—All quiet to-day. The excitement calm ing down. Tlie Vermont Election Boston, September 9.—A carefully revised summary of the Gubernatorial vote iu Vermont gives Fairbanks Re- -publican 23,732 majority. Tlie Grccnbavk Party. New York, September 9.—The In dependent Greenback party have re quested all citizens who approve the nominees, and endorse the platform of National Convention held at Jndian- ■, , ■ j to sei convention to^DonwcTTP September 26th. This convention is to nominate Presidential electors and a full State ticket. Notwithstanding the encouraging tone of the dispatches and the ad vices from the News of Savannah, tlife following appeal was published last Friday morning in the Atlanta pa pers. Athens, Ga., Sept. 11th, ’76. Editor Georgian—Sir : I enclose you a card I have just received. Will you please give notice that aid is needed, and the generous spirit of our city will respond as they have’al ways done. I will cheerfully forward anything that may be contributed, or it may be sent directly to the “ Benevolent Association’’ of Savannah. Very Respectfully, Lamaii Cobb. 0C0 NElTo RG A X1 ZED.

This is a move in the right direction, aud we feel con fident that the necessary sum will be easily raised. Last year a subscrip tion list of two hundred dollars was very easily obtained for the purpose of Ait Important Matter. [Communicated.] Jfr. Editor : . The price of cotton always has been, at the South, a reg ulator of values. As compared with last year, its price has declined fully twenty-jive \>ev cent. Can the farmers, therefore, afford to pay as much for piekiug cotton this year, as they did last season ? Ought not the price of this kind of labor to descend with the price of cotton ? If 50cts. per hundred was paid last year, ought not 37 1-2 cts. to be sufficient now. Meat, bread and clothing are cheap, and laborers can afford to work at reduced rates. Live and let live, slionld be our “ottow Farmer, TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA. Savaunab is now being scourged by an epidemic, which is growing in force with little or no" prospect of abatement. I am in receipt of a let ter from the bead of the Benevolent Association conveying the informa tion that money, provisions and clothing are greatly needed to succor the suffering sick. The destitution is great and demands immediate relief. At the request of the association which is using every effort at its corns mand to combat the disease and to aid the sick, I make this appeal to the people of Georgia for aid. Donations of money, provisions, especially chickens and fowls, butter and eggs, and such other food adapted to sick persons, will afford great relief. I am authorized to say that the Central railroad and all its branches aud the State road will transport all articles to the sick free of charge. All packages should be directed to J. F. Wheaton, Chairman of the Benevolent Associa tion, Savannah, Georgia. State papers please cop^or notice. Albert R. Lasiar, Agt. Benevolent Association.

The other day when a tar-heel, with sunken eyes and high cheek bones, sat down on the steps of a grocery, besides several others, he sighed heavily and asked : “ Gentlemen, if any of you found a five on the sidewalk, would you hunt for the owner ?” “ I would,” came from each indi vidual with promptness and dispatch. “ Haven’t any of you lost a five, have you?’’ anxiously continued the man. “I have,” answered one, and the echo went all along the line. “ Describe her, gentlemen,’’ he re marked. One said his had a tigura “o’’ on it. Another said his had a picture of DeSoto discovering the Mississippi river. A third said the words “ U. S.” were plain to be seen on the bill that fell out of his vest pocket. “ Gentemen, this five don’t tally,” mournfully remarked the tarheel. “ None of you have hit the description within a mile and a aand-bar.” “ Let’s see,’’ asked two or three at once. “ It’s a five, and I found it on the sidewalk,’’ ho whispered, holding out his hand. Tho five was a nickel. Some of the crowd leaned back, and held their out raged hearts, while others rose up, carefully brushed their coat tails, aud said it was time to go home. Only one of the victims seemed to appreciate the situation. He chuckled and gurgled and grasped, and asked the stranger what he would take. “ Whiskv straight,’’ was the prompt reply. r . “ So would I if I ever drank,” said the citizen, and be lounged down town to get up a bet on.the weather.
