STATE AID.
About two years ago there was a spon- r
taneous uprising of the masses in Geor
gia against State aid, which resulted in
convening a Constitutional Convention
and positively prohibiting further ex
penditures in that direction. That this
privilege has been greatly abused in
Georgia since the war there is no ques
tion ; but is a total neglect of the devel
opment of our vast resources by the
State government the right kind of
economy? We think not. Our citi
zens are poor, and it Is a matter impos
sible for them unaided to contribute
what is necessary to make Georgia what
she should be—one of the grandest min
eral, manufacturing and agricultural
.States in the Union? We believe in
State aid to a limited extent. It is abso
lutely necessary if we ever expect eur
section to occupy the proud position that
her fertile lands, salubrious climate, un
surpassed water power, hidden mineral
wealth and other manifold advantages
entitle her.
Look at Pennsylvania—to-day the
wealthier State in the Union—and to
what may she attribute her position?
State aid. Millions have been appropri
ated from the public fund toward build
ing railroads, rendering her streams nav
igable and developing her mineral
wealth. Georgia is just as rich in these
as is the Keystone State, only they are
not utilized.
Perhaps it is well to first rid our State
of its load of debt, before embarking in
new ventures. But we hope the day is
not far distant when a clause will be in
jected into our new Constitution allow
ing a moderate outlay each year toward
the development of our many resources.
Let not one section receive the benefit
of this outlay, but each Congressional
district in the State have its pro rala
share, to be expended as the people liv
ing therein see fit.
A VISIT TO ATLANTA.
On Thursday morning of last week
we visited Atlanta, for the purpose of
seeing the tail-end of the impeachment.
There was not as much excitement rife
as we expected to see—the city, appar
ently, being gauged upon corruption.
At night we attended a performance
by the Big-4 minstrel troupe, which was
nudeniably the grandest humbug ever
foist upon a confiding public in the way
of a show.
Friday morning we looked in upon
the “ assembled wisdom,” and found both
houses hard at work. In the Senate
Treasurer Renfro was on trial. The ac
cused appeared restless and uneasy; the
exact contrary, it is said, to Mr. Gold
smith, when undergoing that trying or
deal. Public opinion is rather based in
-Mr. Renfro’s favor. He acknowledged
his transgressions of the law like a man,
aud defends himself by citiug a similar
course on the part of his predecessors.
The people think it is asking an impos
sibility of a man to give a $200,000 bond
for a $2,000 salary, without making some
return to his securities.
We found many sympathizers with
Mr. Goldsmith. We now feel more len
ient toward him ourself, and believemany
of his errors can be traced to a kind and
confiding heart. He was a gallant sol
dier, and this will cover a multitude of
sins in the Southern mind. Atlanta is
his sworn friend (and we might add
ally.) A Representative says that all he
is censured for in that city was for re
turning to the State $22,000 that he
might have kept. We are reliably in
formed that Goldsmith will be persecut
ed in the courts.
Nelms is game to the back bone. He
was besieged by friends of the Governor,
who begged him to resign, but he stands
out like a man—says he has transgressed
no law and will hold the fort to the end.
The friends of Gov. Colquitt claim that
he is daily gaining strength in the State.
They say the unjust war waged against
him by enemies has rebounded on his
persecutors and strengthened the cause
of the Governor.
We felt proud of the enviable name
earned by Messrs. Lumpkin, Smith and
Willingham. We heard many praises
showered upon them. They art unde
niably a strong trio, and one that will
carry weight aud demand respect in
any assemblage. Mr. Greene, of Madi
son, is another faithful member. He is
ever at his post and always votes for the
good of his constituents.
Friday night we attended a caucus to
take steps toward the abolition of the
Agricultural bureau. We never saw a
more determined set of men. It was in
main composed of the yoem&nry of the
Legislature, and the speakers were bit
ter in their denunciation of what they
consider a nuisance and burden upon
the tax-payers and farmers. It was
shown that of the $72,000 spent upon this
department since its establishment, only
about $22 have been used in the purchase
of seed for distribution. The opponents
may not be able to kill the Bureau this
session, but they can and will cut off
supplies and starve it to death. We met
Judge Henderson, the new Commission
er. He has assumed the reins of office,
and says he intends to run the Bureau
in a wanner to overcome the ignominy
in which it is now held.
A knowing friend remarked that three
fourths of Atlanta was dependent, direct
ly or indirectly, upon the public crib for
their daily bread. The State treasury is
a rich mine for that city, and they have
“ worked” it with no little profit. Take
the Capitol away from Atlanta, and the
decline of the place would be certain and
speedy.
.. The motto of the “Gate City” is,
“ Every taan for himself and the devil
get-the hindmost. It u the most grasp
ing, selfish, penurious place we ever en
tered. Your best friend there is the
man who can make a dollar out of you.
Her business men are renowned through
out the State for their cheeky parsimony
and the extreme lengths to which they
will go for a nickel. We are glad to
learn, however, that they are fast losing
the trade of this section. Our merchants
ace becomingdisgusted with their mode of
doing business,and are transferring their
custom to other cities.
Of course the above lines do not refer
to every merchant in Atlanta, for the
city has some of as high-toned, honora
ble firms aa can be found anywhere; but
with oar experience among them we can
add the word liberal to-very few houses.
The newspapers of Georgia have built up ,
the city and her own local press worked
like Trojans for her; butany person who
will scan the mlumns of her city papers
would be lead to infer that the place has
not a population of 5,000. Many Geor
gia towns with only a few hundred in
habitants expend more on the press than
does the great city of Atlanta. Her mer
chants deserve to-lose their trade, and
we move that the press of Georgia quit
holding up the meanest kind of stingi
ness as public enterprise.
The Atlanta Constitution—the grand
est daily in the South—has come nobly
ti the rescue of the weekly press on that
legal advertising bill, and has the ring
of the true metal in a recent editorial.
With snch a coadjutor we feel that our
rescue from an unjust and usurpations
law is sure and certain. Now is the time
for the Weekly papers to find their friends
We went through the cotton factory
which is the best sight in the city. We
also met Mr. H. I. Kimball, and found
him an exceedingly pleasant gentleman.
He has a frank, pleasant, open face, and
we were decidedly impresed in his favor.

Grant to the Ex-Confederates.
San Francisco, Sept. 23 —The follow
ing are Gen. Grant’s words, spoken to
! day to the ex-Confederate soldiers at
the City Hall;
Gentleman :It has afforded me great
| satisfaction and pleasure to observe the
| very cordial reception I hart reaeived
here, and especially the welcome coming
from the gentlemen you represented.
If you had traveled around the world as
I have, for several years past, you could
appreciate, like me, the value of our
I common country more completely than
any man who stays at home. You would
be everywhere gratified to see that we
are recognized by all the nations of the
earth in a higher light than our own
| people imagine. Abroad our resources
| are considered unlimited. When one
; gets to see the nations of the world, he
begins to appreciate the inestimable
value of our broad acres and the great
energy of our people, that is forever up
building in the State, city, and town.
It affords me great satisfaction and pleas
ure to receive the gentlemen who were,
long ago, opposed to us, and I hope if
this country ever sees another war we
shall all be together under one flag, fight
ing a common enemy.

OUR ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, Ga., Oot. 1, 1879.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo:
The Legislature is still hard at work, dis*
posing of bills in a lively manner. During
the past week quite a number weie passed and
many were withdrawn. At this rate most of
the measures of importance will soon be dis
posed of.
A resolution has passed the House fixing
the 10th inst. as the dav of adjournment, and
the way the Assembly [s dispatching business
shows a determination to be ready, if possible,
to adjourn on that day.
The House passed a bill granting right of
way to the Cincinnati Southern Railwav,
where it runs near the Western & Atlantic
Railroad. This will be of great benefit to
Georgia. In effect, it amounts almost to an
extension of the Western & Atlantic railroad.
A resolution has also passed, the object of
which is to secure from the General Govern
-rnent an appropriation to open up the Chatta
hoochee river. This is one of the most impor
tant streams in this section of country.
By the opening of this river, about four hun
dred thousand people who live along its banks
woulq’ be directly benefited. According to
the United States census of 1870, over six mil
lion dol.'ars wereat that time invested in man
ufactories, producing annually over nine mil
lion dolla rs, while the production of farms
was nearly twenty-three million dollars. It
is also shown that more than one and a half
million dollars were then invested in cotton
factories, twelve of which were running about
eighty thousand spindles. Besides all this,
a vast number of grist and saw mills were on
the same stream ; and running through one
of the richest gold baits east of the Mississip
pi. It is estimated that the Chattahoochee
can be made navigable, for a distance of
about seven hundred miles from the Gulf of
Mexico, at a comparatively small cost. We
think Georgia, as well as the other States in
terested, will be very fortunate to secure from
the General Government this' appropriation.
Investigation still goes on. Mr. Renfro is
on trial now. Gen. Henry B. Jackson, for the
defense, gave m portion of his speech yester
day, but on account of physical indisposition
asked till this morning to conclude. The trial
will probably close to-day, and the high court
will be dissolved till another committee re
ports.
The committees to investigate the offices of
Commissioner of Agriculture, Public Printer
and State School Commissioner are expected
to report this week. Some crookedness will
doubtless be reported, but as to whether other
impeachments will be made, we can’t guess.
We would say to your excellent correspon
dent, “ Reform,” we have no hankering to
“ learn how to pick cotton,” but are willing to
“ bury the hatchet,” and will compromise
bv joining him in going ’possum hunting with
them dogs instead of using them for the pur
pose first mentioned.
Were glad to see ye Editor in the city last
week. In this we were not alone, for many
of the members were in our fix. They like
to see the man who can make a weekly paper
boom like the Echo. The ECHO is growing
in popularity every day. It has its weight
here, and I have heard it whispered that
Gantt was the third member from Oglethorpe.
Come again. Your many friends are always
glad to see you, and if there are any in the
Assembly you have not met let’s meet them.

ATHENS STILL AHEAD.
Astonishing as it may appear, yet it is nev
ertheless a fact that Athens is a stride ahead of
Atlanta, or any other city in the State, in
some very important commercial enterprises.
This section of country, and especially Ogle
thorpe county, has long felt the need of a first
class establishment, where the farmer, the
merchant, the mechanic, the professional man,
the laborers and everybody else, could get their
wants supplied without having to visit forty
different stores for that purpose. Now, this
great want is at last fully supplied by an old
established merchant in Athens. He has just
returned from New York, where he purchased
everything to complete a first-class variety
store. So when you go to Athens —it makes
no difference what you want—whether at
wholesale or retail, call on JAMES H. HUG
GINS, proprietor of the Great Southern Vari
ety Store, and he will supply you at prices
as low as the lowest. He is now prepared to
supply country merchants with small crates
of Crockery, prepared and packed in New
York, to suit the country trade, and he espec
ially desires merchants to examine his prices
(which he will send on application,) before
sending their orders to other markets. He
will supply you with Lime, Cement and Ker
osene. Oil in lots of one barrel to one hundred
barrels as cheap as you can get it from any
market in the world. He has Lamps, Glass
ware and China of all grades, Family and
Fancy Groceries, Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes,
Hats, Saddles, Bridles, Whips, Collars, Leath
er, Harness, Wood and Willow Ware, Cigars
and the largest stock and greatest variety of
fine and cheap Chewing Tobacco in the city.
Now, you have all heard of the Seven Won
ders of the World, and we are now going to
tell you of the Eighth Great Wonder of the
World, and we want every man, woman and
child that reads the OGLETHORPE Echo to
go to Athens and see this great wonder — it is
the Five Cent Counter at J. H. HUGGINS’,
where everything is sold for only five cents,
and you can get thousands of things that you
need, too. When you go, carry along a few
nickels and bring back a wagon load of House
hold Goods. Don’t forget the place—it’s at

“ What is pride my son,” asked a foCiler.
“It’s the smoking of poor cigars, when BLACK
WELL’S FRAGRANT DURHAM BULL
SMOKING TOBACCO would yield a purer

replied the youth.
Why should we complain of hard times?
Crop prospects were never better, cotton bring

and W. T. BLACKWELL A CO. storing
away 6.000,000 lbs. of fine Sweet, Mellow To
