Wofford High School.— ln all probabilty there is not an educational institu tion throughout the whole of North Georgia, which has become so universally popular and prosperous as this school. The indefatigable and accomplished principal, Prof. Matthew Marshall, aud the trustees, have united their most earnest endeavors to erect an institution which should depend for success upon merit alone, and they are nobly fulfilling their mis sion. The school has taken rank among the most popular of its class in the State, and each successive scholastic year finds it growing in popularity and in numbers ot patrons and pu pils. A thoroughness in the system of tuition, and a kindly but perfect discipline, are facts plainly discernable in the rapid advancement of the pupils and in their universally respect ful demeanor towards the principal. It was our pleasure, last Friday evening, to be present at the closing exercises of this school, and were particular to take notes most elaborately, with the view of publishing a full account of the performances; but the lateness of the hour, the rush of other matter demand ing publication, and other serious obstacles not necessary to speak of here, will force us to abandon them altogether, and to give but a general notice of the teacher, the school and auditory. Of the latter, a very large assembly were present, as is usual, we learn, at all com mencement exercises at this High School, and of the very best class of citizens in the county, too—such is the interest they take in, and the encouragement they give to the institution. We could not, we believe, be too laudatory of the discreet and judicious manner in which Professor Marshall seems to have managed his scholars, and it he can but content himself to remain and labor as in the past two years, the Wofford High School will become as popular hundreds of miles away as it is this county. He tells us, however; that he has consented to remain at least during the next year. We regret that circumstances force us at present to give so imperfect a notice of this very deserving institution, which is growing so steadily, and upon merit alone. We will have more to say ol it hereafter. C. IT. C. Willingham.— We had a call from this gentleman, on Saturday last. He came to tell us he felt aggrieved because we had published Mm in a false position be fore the people of the county. He indignantly avers that he never has been, is not at present, and never will be, the advocate of any clique or ring. Notwithstanding we feit and still feel that we had sufficient ground for making the charge, yet we are not disposed that our side ot the question alone should be seen and read by the people of this county. We will therefore cheerfully give circulation to Mr. Willingham’s denial. It is not our purpose to misrepresent him at all, for we have always held him in high esteem as a gentleman of in dependence, honesty and unpurchaseable in tegrity. It cannot be gainsaid, however, that his coming here under direct patronage of the cotton ring, and other kindred circumstances, will not at once place him or his paper in the good opinion of the people, and his past un tarnished record as an independent journalist, and a rigidly circumspect course in the con duct of his paper will be required to remove the damaging effects of these circumstances.’ If Mr. Willingham intends Im paper to be un fettered, free and outspoken, and will labor to destroy everything which is calculated to work to the detriment of the people, he w ill find us w illing aud vigorous allies, and these same people will eventually recognize and re ward such services, but these services must be accomplished ere the reward is to be hoped lor. A suspicion is fixed with the people, and,, as we stated above, time aud services will be required to dislodge it. Bat success to Wil lingham. On the 10th of December next, there will be a re-union of parents, friends, teachers and all the pupils who have ever at tended Wofford High School, at the schoo l house, for the distribution of prizes hereto fore awarded. Rev. Thco. E. Smith, Superin tendent of Schools for this county, will deliver an address appropriate to the occasion.

Elsewhere we publish a card from the Honorable John W. Wofford, ex plaining why her esigned his seat in the Senate. We are sorry that any sort of circumstances should force him to this step, for wo feel that we have been most effetually represent ed by him at the capital. He is able, accom plished, upright and honorable, and bo far as we have heard, has given the most universal satisfaction to his constituency. The Gover nor has ordered an election to be held in this Senatorial district on the 15th day of Decern her,for the purpose of choosing a successor to Col. Wofford, and the question which is now agitating the public mind is, who shall it be ? In casting about, we can put our finger upon several, aud any one of whom would make an able and worthy representative. Col War ren Akin, honored and respected for his great learning in the law and his strict integrity of character; Col.J. G.M. Montgomery, a culti vated gentleman in every sense, aud who would be a truly representative man. He is a farmer. Major M. A Cooper —talented, ac complished, honest —who has served his coun try well; Dr. S. W. Leland, thau whom there is no more cultivated gentleman in the whole country, and who would do credit to himself as well as the people ; and last though not least, Col. R. H. Cannon, who once filled the position of Senator, and gave general satisfaction to the whole district. He, too, would be a truly represeetative mau. lie is a None better could be chosen. We might thus go on and enumerate many, any one of whom would represent this Sena torial district to the satisfaction of the people. It Is not left for us to chose a candidate, however. The people will speak their choice at the court house, next Saturday- See notice of Democratic Committee, in another column. Since writing the above, we learn oi several others whose names arc mentioned in this connection —John A. Crawford, George H. Waring, and others—all good men ud true. Once More To The People.— When Willingham comes to Cartersville to print a paper, we learn, he expects to take charge of the Standard & Express subscrip tion book, and will send his paper to those whose names appear upon it. In regard to that matter we have this to say : We will turn over the book to Willingham, but that will not prevent us from taking a transcript of the names upon it—which we have done, in fact—nor will it prevent us fulfilling all un expired terms, nor from collecting what may be now due. Mr. Willingham, of course, is at liberty to send his paper to whomsoever he will. That is his own business. But it is the business of our subscribers whether they will pay him or us for what we have furnish ed them. Again we say it is our determina tion to send The Planters’ Advocate for the unexpired terms to all who have paid for the Standard & Express, which paper is now no more ; and it is ©ur right, also, unless we dispose of them for a consideration, to col lect all moneys which may be due this office for subscription, since the 16th of December 1874. On Friday last, a colored citizen of oar place, brought us a letter to read for him. Of course we were willing to accommodate, but upon taking the missive from the envel ope we found that a rival to Horace Grcely had sprnngj U P f° r illegible writing. It was on ordinary note paper aud filled up something over a page—but of all that scribbling we could decipher but about eight or ten words, and they not in a position to get the context. The recipient thinks it is a love letter, and, with us, believes it sweetness wasted. Council Proceedings. Nov. 15th, 1875. Present His Honor T. Stokley, Mayor and a full board of Aldermen.

Sorrow's mournful arch must again be be reaved, and under it must we bow low our heads in paying tribute, to our deceased Brother,McD. Harris, who died July 22nd 1875. Be it resolved, That in the death of Brother Harris Masonry has Jost one of her oldest and most zealous members, the Church one of its most strict adherents,his family a kind hns band and indulgent lather, the community a good citizen. Be it further resolved, That we deeply sym pathise with his berieved family in their irrep rible loss and can only offer this consolation— he is dead to man, but lives to God. Resolved further, That we inscribed a page to his memory upon the minute hook of this Lodge and furnish his family with a copy of these resolutions. L. BORROUGH, JAS. BAILEY, R. D. HAL!,, JAS. G. ROGERS. Committees. Messrs. Editors . —Far be it from us to design injury or injustice to any—but rather the interest and the good of all. To see our dispirited agricultural energies revived by the prospect of fair remunerative prices for pro duce, and our drooping market towns flourish ing with the ample patronage of their thrifty sujroundings ; all of which will be the result when unscrupulous speculation is swept away: when all men live by honest labor or laudable pursuits, and not upon the losses of others. When the truth is told, and it cuts and stings tisonly the friendly surgeon’s knife seeking to dissect the part diseased, for the health and life of the whole. It would be a work of supererogation su preme, to argue, in this enlightened day, that self-defence is even the God-given iustinct of brutes, as well as the Inalienable right of men. That the same law applies to interest as well as to persons, and to masses as well as to indi viduals. And its exercise by the assailed is no injustice to the assailant. Even should our dearest friend and nearest relative stand too long on our toes, it would be no injustice to him to push him off, however much he might complain of the hardness of the ground to his soft, and long-pampered feet. The fact is, the body agricultural ba6 become too weak to longer support a vampire, parasite or horse leech upon every square inch of its back . and these incumbrances must needs be removed, if it even longer walk alone; for now “the grasshopper is a burden.” Such things migh once have been borne, when things were easy living cheap and labor low—but now it re quires prudent economy aud paying prices to come oat even at the end. Our arms are too short aud purses too thin, to reach across so many middle-men—and ne cessity demands that these blood-suckers, life sappers, be displaced, and producer and con sumer approach each other by a regular, up right step, and striking hands, deal directly with each other. ’Tis the interest of both and the interest of all, and no less practicable than important, for, what speculators may concoct, unhindered, planters may prevent by action. How often did our late lamented Lewis Tum lim, that thrifty farmer and successful finan cier, engage and sell his own wheat crops at two dollars per bushel to the mill direct! And what was done by him individually, may be done by communities in concert, through their trusty agent. And should speculators clandestinely obtrude themselves to thwart our plans and absorb our profits, let them be held strictly amenable at the bar of public patronage aud public censure, for often they have goods to sell and produce to buy, and living in houses all glass* they cannot afford to engage in a battle of stone-throwing. It is a well known, admitted fact, that our mills were paying two dollars per bushel for Wes tern wheat, laid down, last summer, whe nour harvest came in, and one dollar and a half for ours’ would have been a great saving to them, and could easily have been secured, by a little coucert of action on our part. But lo! 90 cents, the full sum of 90 cents was secured for us, by liberal, volunteer counsel, and self-con stituted agents. Not more fully illustrated in the overthrow of an ancient city, was the wisdom ot that an cient injunction, ne equo credite, (trust uot to the horse,) than the modern motto, ne mer catore credite (trust uot to the speculator), in the preservation of modern commerce. “Fore warned should be forearmed,” as “what has been may be again.” Aud while it is to b© hoped that no one, with the soul of a citizen, will ever be aguin so lost to all patriotic obli gations as to lend himself as a willing, volun tary tool for his country’s loss, to establish for himself the reputation of the cheapest agent in the estimation of a stranger; yet, let planters remember that “eternal vigilance” is not only the safeguard of liberty, but of every interest We propose to dismiss the subject for the time beiug, with the hope of seeing reared upon the iuins of riugdom, permanent plan ters’ associa’ions and direct trade uuions, do mestic and foreign, transacting their own bu siness, reaping the fruits of their own fields and the profit of their own toil, that there may be more rejoicing over our agricultural independence in 1876, than even over our na tional liberty a hundred years ago, at the com ing Centennial. OUR STATE SENATOR. His Resignation and the Reasons Therefor. . Cartersville, Ga., Nov. 17,1875. To the People of the 42d Senatorial District: 1 have this day sent to the Governor my re signation as Senator for the 42d Senatorial district. It is due you that I should say why I have done so. The General Assembly convenes the second Wednesday in January ; by an act of the Le gislature passed at its last session, Bartow Su perior Court conveucs cn Monday of the same week, and will remain in session four weeks. Immediately upon the adjournment of Bartow court, other courts convene where I have busi. ness and where I am obliged to be or neglect my clients. The whole of the constitutional term of forty days allowed for the legislative session, is covered by the courts referred to. This conflict in the session of the General As sembly and the terms of the courts has never existed before since I have been a member of that body. But if the interest and conveni ence of no one bat myself was to be consult ed, I would be willing to make mine subordi nate to that of the public; but a leave of ab sence to me from the January term of the court here, would, I know from good authori ty, necessitate the call of an adjourned term of the court during the Spring months, when it might be an inconvenience aud an injury to .them, to draw the firmer from tlieir crops to the court bouse. If I attend the courts and get leave from the Senate, then you have no representative there. These reasons have made it my plain duty to resign. When you have considered them, I believe you will agree with me, and lorgive the trouble I put you to to, in electing my successor. Aside from all this, the approaching session of the Legislature is wholly unimportant so far as I know or believe. Several years expe rience in that body has convinced me that there is no public demand for annual sessions of the Legislature, and that yearly sessions of the General Assembly is a yearly waste of pub lic money. In a time of peace aud quiet, when there is nothing but “bard times” to break the monotony of current events, an an nual expense of SIOO,OOO for legislation is too much to pay for it. For a year or so after Gov. Bullock abscond ed, a good deal of law making and investiga tion was necessary in order to readjust the disjointed affairs of the State government. But all that has been done, aud for the future a session every two years- is quite as often as there will be any call for legislation. A little examination of the class of work, with which the last few sessions iiave been en gaged, will satisfy any one that I am right iu this. I do so hope to see a move made at the next session to change the constitution in conform ity to the suggestion here made. I deem it no common honor to be elected by three counties in which there are about eight thousand voters, without opposition, and without a vote having been east against me, so far as I know ; and I 6ay but truth when I state that it is uot without regret that I relin quish the position assigned me. It is a con stituency of which any man may be proud, None but will feel honored to represent you. God grant you prosperity. John W. Wofford. To the People of Bartow County. A mass meeting of the Democratic party of Bartow county is hereby ordered,anil appoint ed to be held in the Court House on the 27th of Nov., being Saturday next, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for State Senator, to fill the urexpired term, occasioned by the res ignation of the Hon. John W. Wofford. The election to take place, by proclamation of the Gofernor, on the 15th of December. A full and general attendance of the Demo cracy’ is earnestly requested. S. W. LELAND. Chairman of Executive Committee. F. M Ford, Sec. Editors Standard & Express.—The lion. John W. Wofford having resigned the Senator ship, of this Senatorial district, and the Gover nor having ordered an election to oe held on the 15th to fill the vacancy, and this County (Bartow) being entitled to the balance of the term, we know of no one upon whom all class es and parties could so unanimously unite as upon Mai. Mark A. Cooper. It is needless to tell the people of this Senatorial District who he is—he is known to them all. There is no liv ing man who has done more for the develop ment ot all the interests of the State than Maj.C. As there is only one session to serve during the balance of the term, we think It a fit tribute to his worth and past services to con fer the honor ufion him. Every one to whom the subject has been mentioned says that he is the very man for the place. We hope therefore that there will be no attempt to hold a convention or mass meeting, as all can unite on Maj. Cooper. While he does not nor will not seek the place, we feel authorized to say that he will serve if elected. Many Voters. Capt, J. A. Crawford for the Senate. Messrs. Editors I understand Captain Crawford is a candidate for the Senate. He is a good man and an able man, aud, if elected, will reflect credit upon the district. Before the war he ranked with the first law yers at the bar here. When the war began he went to the field aud stayed till the end. He carries with him the wounds received iu ac tion. Since the war he has been quietly en gaged in agriculture. He is not a chronic candidate for office. He has not troubled the people that way. Bartow can present no more worthy man. C. Kingston, Ga., Nov. 22,1875. Messrs. Editors :—Having learned tha Hon. John W. Wofford had resigned the posi tion of Senator oi“ this District, and feeling that the nomination is conceded to this county wc believe there is no gentleman iu the coun ty better qualified to fill the positiou than our friend and fellow-citizen, George H. Waring, aud we hope that he will permit his friends to use his name and feel sure of if is election if he will. Many Citizens. The Hon. Mark A. Cooper,is here by announced as a candidate to fill the unex pired term as Senator for the 42nd Senatorial district, occasioned by the resignation of the Hon. John W. Wo fiord,subject to the Democrat ic nomination. We think in our humble opinion that we could not vote for a man more worthy, deserve ing, or more competent than the venerabl gentlemam we propose in the announcement- Nov. 22nd. 1875 Many Voters.
