—A Gilmer county man found eight
hundred and odd dollars in an old log the
other day.
—lt is remarkable that we hear of the
burning of so few gin-houscs now, when
they were destroyed by the score at this
season last year.
—At a low estimate, Georgia pays
$500,000 annually for imported wagons,
which could be more cheaply made at
home, and this large sum saved her peo
ple.
—An adventurous individual left Jack
sonville, Fla., Wednesday last in a boat
eighteen feet long, bound for Augusta,
Georgia.

house near Gordon a few days ago, and
witnessed the novel sight of one pujiil
using the ebony back of another for a
black-board.
—A negro went to sleep on the West
Point railroad the other day, and an en
gine came in contact with his head. The
negro is now picking cotton and the en
gine is laid up for repairs.
—The Commissioners of Elbert county
have assessed for county purposes three
tenths of one per cent., or thirty cents on
the hundred dollars, making State and

—“ Major General” Joe Morris, the
leader of the last Georgia rebellion, has
been arrested in Atlanta and put in jail.
—Atlanta Constitution : Not long since
a worthy merchant of Barncsville left for
New York to purchase goods. During
his absence his wife, to whom he had
been married about two years, gave evi
dence of aberration of mind. One night
she screariied out and grew worse. The
next day friends were in the room dis
cussing whether to telegraph her condi
tion to her husband or not. She turned
to thani and remarked, “ You need not
telegraph him. The good Lord has ena
bled me to apprise him of my condition.”
But they telegraphed to the husband,and
in a very short timi he was at home.
The husband says that the night during
which she screamed out, he dreamed that
she was in the condition he found her in,
and when the telegram came he was ful
ly aware of her condition. We learn that
she js lying now in a precarious condi
tion. Can any one account for the cir
cumstance ?
JOHN T. M. HAISE.
This gentleman announces to his nu
merous friends, ami the public at large,
through another column, that he has
just opened one of the best stock of fall
and winter goods ever brought to Lex
ington, consisting of boots and shoes,
without end, and almost without price—
he sells them so cheap ; clothing of all
makes, shapes, colors, sizes and quali
ties, as low or lower than can he had in
Atlanta ; fine dress goods at 50 per cent,
under actual cost; and hundreds of oth
er articles usually found in first-class
stores. Mr. Ilaire has now in store as
fine a stock as the country can boast,
which he is determined to sell so low
that hard times will stand no showing.
If you want goods, just rattle the green
backs, and they are bound to come. Be
ing a bachelor; and extremely modest, he
felt a delicacy in stating that he had on
hand a splendid stock of shoes for misses
and young ladies, and could only write,
“ old ladies’ shoes a specialty.” Let not
the young ladies for a moment entertain
the idea that they are forgotten, but call
and see how generously he has remem
bered them. Buy of him and die happy.
Great Excitement!
3he celebrated Photographers, the
Gardner Brothers, have just arrived in

THE NEGRO.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo :
The article in your last issue over the
signature of “ Iliver Dick,” touched a
sympathetic chord within my own bosom.

nat. ei, it, might <>e tlie way to
get rtd of them, and thereby prove ulti
mately a blessing to our country. “Why
are the Democrats carrying out the fan
atical idea ol educating the negro?”
Why? I.would like to know. AVill it
make hint a good citizen? This he can
never be iu the full sense of the word,
for he would never possess the qualities
of a citizen with all the education you
could give him. Will it Christianize
him ? I ask this because he is and ever
will be a barbarian—and answer No !
When you teach a mule not to kick,
then you might teach a genuine negro
to practice the Christian religion. Will
it make him a better laborer? “River
Dick” says “ education ruins him as a
laborer.” It certainly leads to his ruin
in every way. There is hardly an excep
tion to the rule, that when a negro
learns to spell out a few words in the
Bible,he commences at once upon his
duties a minister of the Gospel, and then
all who are at all familiar with his pro-*
pensities, know he is a “gone coon
skin” for everything else except to
preach the gospel, (so to speak) and to
aid in organizing and keeping up their
infernal societies, which have militated
against the interest of the agriculturist
more than everything else, by their
pledging themselves to work for no
white man only by the day at the high
est prices, or rent his land at the lowest
rates and couipell him to supply all
their wants. This is their plan. It
requires no shrewdness to form it, and
they nearly carry it out because the
whites have not the courage to co-op
erate in such measures as would secure
their own interest for fear the darkie
would see they were determined to be
their equals in maintaining their own
rights and would not work for them in
anyway. Under this order of things la
bor is as poor as it can be ; the farmer
seldom realizes enough to pay his ac
counts, and the merchant to be sure
success,charges the highest figures for all
he sells on a credit. The consequences
is ever branch of business suffers more
and more every year until we have all
got to the spout, and nothing is left us
now but to go up. If the negro is unfit
for a laborer, then what is he fit for?
And if education tends to destroy his
usefulness as a laborer, why are we try
ing to carry out the fanatical idea of
educating him? Is it to carry favor with
the negro himself, or is it to please the
blacker radicals. What is the object ?
I would like for someone in favor of the
idea to show how we are to be benefited
in any way by appropriating public
money for the education of a class of
people who are slowly and surely work
ing our ruin. There can be but one rea
son given in favor of it, and that is if you
have a general school fund there can be
no discrimination between the races.
That looks all right on paper. It may
be queer, yet 1 don’t think I can ever
give in to the idea that “ one man is as
good as another,” but rather some are a
’darned sight better than others. Cuffee
seems to be better just now. He is good
enough as he is for the purpose for
which he was without taking
one cent of money raised by taxing white
to educate him for further villiany. It
would be infinitely bettor for the money
used as a common school fund for the
general good it does, to be used for other
and better purposes.
“ Old Silver Eye.”
JUSTICE AGAIN.
Bowling Green, Sept, 14,1875.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo:
When I wrote my last article in regard
to the distribution of that relief fund
to the suffers from the late storm, I fully
intended to let the matter rest where it
was, and, at least, so far as I was concern
ed, say no more on the subject, either
publicly or privately. But since Mr.
Birchmore, (for whom I have ever enter
tained the highest regard), has seen pro
per to turn up his nose at me and reflect
on what I have said, I have thought it
well enough to give the matter
one more brief notice, and, after this,
I shall trouble you and your readers
no more on the subject. He says,
in speaking of those certificates, (there
are more behind), that they were aimed
in a determined manner towards the
firm of T. Fleming & Cos., of which he is
a partner. Now, Mr. Editor, while we
know that Mr. B. is not a member of
that committee, we are apprized of the
fact that a part of the firm is ; and no
matter whether any of that concern were
or not, the funds, or a good portion of
them, were placed in their hauditor dis
tribution. Therefore,it had to passthrough
their hands, and it is established as a
fact, which he nor any one else has been
able to controvert, that some of those
sufferers were either required or induced
to trade out their donations. These cer
tificates show it, or some of them, at least,
that they did it against their will. The
simple fact that some of them were sign
ed with cross marks is no excuse, neither
does this make it it any the less a tact, as
we all know that in every community
there are many clever, honest, truthful,
upright men who are illiterate and can
not write nor read. Mr. 8., as a trades
man and merchant, is compeliad to ad
mit this, and I will warrant that some of
his most reliable, prompt-paying custo
mers are men of that class. But, as I
had nothing to du with getting up those
certificates, lam not the party assailed
in that part of his communication. They
stand, however, as living witnesses
against somebody, and as he seems to
fret over it, the shoe more than likely
pinches somewhere. But we will come
to the main object which drew forth my
first article, ami tins, i claim, he mr any
oi the committee has satisiactoriiy dis
posed of: I claim that the distribution
was unequal and unfair, and the con
trary has not been shown. As I assert
ed before, and as a great many knew it
to be a fact, that some received more than
their loss, while others received scarcely
any, and in one instance, where the
loss was heavy, it has not been mention
ed or noticed. A worthy and estimable
w. it)\v lady, whose premises are within
one or two miles of Maxey’s, was
dui.t.qjeu iu t.*e ties true Lion of timber,
Sui umg-, etc., at least one thousand
uo; a is, auu yet her name or her loss has
lever been mentioned or taxon any no-
Now, ii the Committee had done
tneir uuty, to is would not have been
the case. It was their duty (as I said
before) to find out all these cases and
distribute these funds pro rata. This,
doubtless, was the intention of all those
charitable, benevolent people throughout
our country, who so generously contribu
ted to the relief of these sufferers, and
entrusted tlieir mites iu their hands.
Now, sir, what is the use to say more?
Facts are stubborn things, and under
some circumstances, they hurt a little.
Big assertions aud blustering defiance
will do sometimes in the absence of
substantiating evidence, but they won’t
do when they come to be thrown in the
face of truth.
Now,Mr. Editor,l have said all I inten
ded to say on this subject, now or here
after. I would state, however, before
closing, that lam not a sufferer. I did
not, thank God, live in the tract of the
tornado, and am, consequently, not per
sonally or pecuniarily interested. But
I sit quietly with my mouth shut and see
injustice done, even though I be denoun
ed as “ a contemptible scribbler” by my
intelligent, polished and refined friend,
Mr. B. My only motive for ever having
anything to say in this unpleasant mat
ter is to advocate justice, and while I do
not charge upon any one with wilful and
knowing injustice, Ido say that it has
been done,and it should be rectified while
the means are still at hand. With this
I take leave of the subject.
Wishing you success through life, I
beg to remain your friend,
Justice.
AGRICULTURAL.
Oglethorpe Cos., Ga., Sep. 13, 1875.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo :
In my last, I promised to say some
thing in the next letter in regard to the
grain crops, mode of planting, etc., but
to say all that might seem to be lengthy,
I am fearful; so I will confine myself at
present to speak only of the small grain
crops, such as wheat, oats, rye and bar
ley. To grow these crops abundantly and
with success requires good, thorough
preparation, sown at the right time, and
the use of good seeds, by all means. As
this work has to be done at this season
of the year, when it is always a busy
time with the cotton, we are very apt to
neglect a very important part of the
work, which is the preparation of the
land, and I know, from exprience it is a
hard matter to “ work up to time” in all
these crops with a full cotton crop on
hand. But to save time and labor in
this work, I will give your farming rea
ders a plan that I have pursued for some
time myself, and one which I have seen
recommended, years ago, in agricultural
papers, which works well with me—and
that is, to sow rye and oats at the last
sweeping over the cotton in the latter
part, or any time in August. It does not
interfere with the picking, nor does
tramping the land by the pickers seem
to injure the young crop of rye or oats,
hut by the time the cotton is all out, you
have a nice winter pasture for the sheep,
calves aud colts to graze on, thereby sav
ing corn and fodder. Stock may be kept
on it, when not too wet, until about the
last of February ; then all stock should
be removed and the crop left to grow
and mature, which it will do in time for
harvesting.
The barley, though, to be made useful
to its greatest extent, must be treated a
little differently. The ground should be
made rich as well as thoroughly prepared
hv deep plowing and harrowing, and
sowed thick, two or more bushels per
acre, as circumstances require ; if for
grazing and soiling alone, it should be
very thick. This crop is not only bene
ficial for spring use, to fill up a vacum
in corn and other feed for stock, but it
is a healthy diet, for all animals that
feed on it. It may be cut once or twice,
and then a good crop grown for
seed. If the clover patch has been pre
pared and sown, in the mean time, which
I neglected to mention (I mean the ani
mal) that will be ready and take the
place of the barley, when it is too old ;
and will last until the oats, sown in Au
gust, will be ripe and ready for use. So
you see, the draught upon the corn crib
is greatly lessened.
Next comes the wheat crop, which
should receive the same care and at
tention as to the preparation, enriching
the soil, etc., as the barley has had, with
a liberal amount of precaution as regards
the seed and preparing the same to pre
vent s-mutt , etc.
And now, Mr. Editor, as this article is
already occupying too much space, I
must conclude, by saying that I have
only given some general outlines as to
the management of these crops. To go
fully iuto details, as to the growing these
crops and the many ways in which they
may be made to subserve a great good,
would require more space than you
could allow, and more time than 1 can
now devote to the subject. One thing
I wish, however, to impress, and that is,
die preparation of the land as well as
the enriching of it, for these several
crops, and the importance of good seeds
to be used. If I should ever again at
tempt to write to you, it may be upon
the subject of corn making, etc., etc.
As even yours, Occasional.
