THE OGLETHORPE ECHO,
J*iabltti<l Evujr Friday,
By TECS. L. GANTT, Editor acl frojriitw,
FRIDA F, DECEMBER 10, 1875.
Como Oat of Tli*t Old Field !
The negro laborer baa presented many
curious aa<l interesting phases—some of
them ludicrous, some tragic, and, of lute
years, but fow that are profitable. There
has been a class of these people, from the
first, who have refueed to enter into any
regular contract where they were to be
controlled by the white man and confin
ed to any thing like systematic labor.
They have been eaters from the start
You may kuow them whenever you aoe
them. They form a peculiar class among
the negroes. They do not seem desirous
of renting good land cr from a good far
mer. They prefer to stick down in some
old field and u clear it up and fence it
for what it will make. 0 This class, up
to this time, havo maaaged to shuffle
along, by the assistance of some friendly
merchant who would advance them meat
and corn, and during the existence of
tho lien law he could screen him3elf by
alien on their crop and stock. They
generally bvy an old biakeu-dowa mule
at the beginning of v,ach year, and eke
out their plowing after ho dies by send
ing their children around among the
neighbors ia “ swap work,” holding two
days for orta day's plowing. They never
have anyth iaj to eat except from hand
to mouth. They are always in the grass
and tho/ never make expenses. But
they love a free life, and that compen
sates lor dh They are sold out every
fall with r-jjJi mfailiug regularity that
they are disappointed If it doesn’t hap
pen. It earns that all tho ills that flesh
is heir to or® endurable to them, provi
ded they ars not under a contract that
compels then, to work. They generally
have a housaftill of children and dogs
and an aid uziy musket, and if you see
a cow wound one of thair cabins, and j
ask tho “ gentleman of the house” who
she belongs to, the in ramble answer is,
she la hU wife's cow, not his. Nobody
ever knew one of this clnaa to hire him
self longer than a day at a time, and one
day’s work generally exhausts him for a
week. Tho old pine fields of Middle
Georgia have been stuck full of this
class ever since the war. They will
starve, or ccune within one of It, in or
der to bo free. It ia said that t)r. Mali,
soon after th/> war, in passing to one of
his churches, saw a negro boy sitting
down in tho corner of the fence by a wo
man, who was stretched at full length on
the ground, with her eyes closed and
perfectly motionless.
“ Who is that woman ?” said the Doc
tor.
“ It’s my mammy,” anal the boy, who,
liko Mark Tapley, appeared to bo “ un
common jolly” under the circumstanced.
“What’s the matter—is shadeacl?”
asked the Doctor, whose Christian sym
pathies were beginning to be aroused in
the case.
“ Yes, she’s dead,” replied the darkey,
“ but she’s free.”
This occurred, according to our infor
mant, in the summer of ’t>s, just after
“ freedom com© out,” and it illustrates
•trikingly the feeling of which wo have
been speaking. Freedom compensated
for everything. Rather than barter away
ono jot or tittle of that precious freedom
they determined to suffer any privation
And endure any discomfort.
But freedom sometimes degenerates
Into vagrancy, and sometime* transforms
itself into unlimited license. There is
such h thing as too much freedom. An
overdose of it can be given. When a
man’s freedom interferes, in its intem
perate license, with the good of society,
it is high time for it to be restrained and
brought within bounds. When it has
•contaminated and iiyured others, as well
ns himself, it has become an evil instead
of a blessing.
These views, hurriedly thrown togeth
er, have been suggested by an observa
tion of the tact that a large class of our
black population, who have been lead
ing this half vagrant life for the past ten
years, will reach the end of their rope
this winter, if they have not already
quite reached it. They will have to
mend their gate. It lias got to the place
with them when they will have to come
out of the old field. Things aro rapidly
settling down to where a man must
work or do worse if bo expects to live in
this country. The credit system has
lasted longer than wo expected, but it is
played out at last. To get credit hereaf
ter a man has got to have something to
base credit upon.
In every community it is, in a measure,
the duty of the intelligent classes to en
deavor to shape the conduct of the igao
raut and dependent classes for the best
good of all. The interest of all classes
are best protected when they are con
trolled by their upright and intelligent
elements. If those who are able to carry
on the business of farming (whether thev
own land or not) would induce those
woo are not able to carry on a farm to
abandon the effort and hire themselves
out to thoae who arc, things would im
prove in this regard. Refuse to let them
squat on your premises unless they will
come under a contract and go to
work. Point out the felly of trying to
carry on a farm without anything to go
on, and not sense enough to know how.
It lakes the smartest kind of a man to
mak® a living farming at the present
price of cotton and bacon, and under the
present system of labor. We think that
these people might ba influenced for
their good by presenting these views,
provided we would quit renting to them
and selling them hor3ts and everything
they e&t on credit. Let them sell out
everything they have got, i>*y tbeir debts
and go and Lire themselves to the •<rict
est, hardest working man they know.
The harder he h to please the surer they
are to get what they work for at the cud
of the year. Nine times out of ten a
hard task master is a good pay master.
We believe these view are correct, and
if put in practice will be a bleed:.g to all
classes. We are satisfied that no such
thing as general prosperity can be ex
pected under the present style of doing
business.
Georgia Echoes.
—They are trouble with ghosts ia Lee
county,
—Mr. Johu G. Reed has moved from
Union Point to Washington.
—A go aidsi x fee t lCng is one of the
prized productions of Thomas county.
—There’s a clock in Georgia which has
been running for on® hundred aud fifty
years.
—Johnny Mcßride, of Jefferson coun
ty, aged aeventceu, died recently of neu
ralgia.
—A human skeleton was found under
a pile oi stones in Bartow county the otker
day.
—A Lumpkin sportsman killed an owl,
one day last week, whose wings would
measure six feet from tip to tip.
—Senator Trumbull used to teach
school iu Georgia. Several other worthy
people have been guilty of the same act.
—Dr. Grant, a well known citizen, eom
initod suicide in Meriwether county by
severing his jugular vein with a lancet.
—The Governor has filled the place of
State Treasurer, made vacant by the re
moval of Captain Jones, by the appoint
ment of Hon. J. W. Renfro®,
—Mrs. Barbara Cauthorn, of Pike
county, who disappeared from home some
time ego, wag found suspended to a limb
the other day. Everything shewed that
sho had deliberately killed hsriielf.
—Mr. W, A. Sorrells, of Madison coun
ty, ought to be proud. He informed the
editor of the Athens Watchman the other
day that he raised a turnip this year which
grew so large that a shoat four months
old ate a hole into it, and after crawling
in and satisfying his hunger, turned
around and came out at the same hole.
*—The IXinesvilio Gazette says that not
long since Mrs. W. J. Warnell, of Liberty
county, saw an eagle catch a chicken.
She ran to drive the eagle away, but upon
her approach it turned and made an at
tack upon her. It became entangled by
its claws in her dress, seeing which An.
W. E. Warnell ran to her assistance, and
by repeated blows from a stick put an end
to tho existence of the eagle.
—The Irwinton Southerner says that a
negro woman, the wife of a man sentenced
last court by Judge Bartlett to the chain
gang for shooting another negro, get seme
one to write to President Grant to release
her husband from bondage. The letter
was answered, and the President directed
his Secretary to inform her that he had
no jurisdiction over the State of Georgia,
and referred her to Governor Smith.
—The Greensboro Herald gratuitously
ventures the opinion that those who hunt
foxes have neither corn enough in their
cribes nor pork enough in their smoke
houses, and, furthermore, that their farms
are in a generally dilapidated condition.
Now, this is worse than nonsense. Some
of the very best farmers in the State have
a passion for fox hunting, and we can
point to more than a hundred fox-hunt-'
ing planters in Georgia who are all that
is successful, all that is genial, and all
that is is "generous. The Herald has
picked up the wrong end of the trail.
We appeal to all who owe us for sub
scrlption to the Echo to come forward
and settle. We have gone through the
summer without calling upon our readers
for money. We have now need of funds,
as we pay cash for everything we use in
publishing the paper, and our expenses
are very heavy. We hope that ail will
come forward and pay the very small
amount we charge for the Echo. Air
one can certainly pay the small sum of
two dollars a year. This is a very little
money, but when nine hundred owe us
two dollars apice, it amounts to eighteen
hundred dollar*.
If all our readers will come froward
promptly and settle, we can get along
without any trouble, and will give them,
in return, the best paper ever published
in the State.
—The prohibitary law being in full
force in Maine, a w itness before a Belfast
Grand Jury was asked if he had drank in
a certain saloon. “Yes.” “Often?”
“ How much in six months ?” “ Well,
I can’t tell exactly. It might be—well—
perhaps—'veil, say a barrel.”

OYSTER SHELL LIME!
0
The Cheapest ami Best Fertilizer Used in Georgia.
Nothing in the way of a Fertilizer and Renovator of old soils has been found equal to I* tire
Ofst ei' Shell Li me. It is not only for one year, but its good effects are seen and con
tinues for eight to ten years. Lime is greatly beneficial to all Grain Crops, applied as a top
dressing, and also to Potatoes and all root crops, and should be applied in qualifies not less than
sto 30 bushels per acre. For Compost Heaps it is invaluable, and to the planters of G .-■■rU
this plan of using Lime is specially recommended, to brinsr up our State to the front rank in
Agricultural matters. The Cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME will recommend it to
every farmer who has used fertilizers largely for the past few years. Its value is greatly en
hanced by it’s long years of service, acting us it does for years after its application lias been
forgotten. In soils abounding in vegetable substances the mannrial qnalitv'in Lime is more
fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds in all soils of common fertility, but little of it is availa
ble—Lime unlocks this storehouse of Nitrogen and renders it readily available for plant food.
A splendid and economical compost fertilizer may be made by thoroughly mixing one bush
el of Salt and three of Lime, and let mixture stand and to $ weeks before using. This is especial
ly adapted to using in drill for Turnips.
The cheapness and facility of procuring this wonderful renovator Of the soil ought to make
it one of the first objects of the farmer (who desires to improve his land) to obtain it. Noth
ing in the way of a fertilizer or renovator has been found equal to it, as proved by the increas
ed yield of crops and permanent improvement of the soil, at a cost less, by far, than any other
manure.
