VIOLATIONS.
Whenever the laws have been
violated, it is your duty to sen tliM
such Jim sous aro indited and
brought to trial and to answer
heforo tho courts for suoli
crimes as have boou committed.
Honest, men sometimes violate the
law.; unintentionally nml through ig
norance, but ignorance in law is not
an excuse lor crime. It is un
lawful for a person to mortgage
pr- pet ly to one and tin n solicit to
| another, and mic!i person is liable to
mmishou'iit. It is against tho law
to trr.fi;! in farm prod acta a! night,
Ito hoy corn and cotton tti
I the seed; nud, it ia unlawful for to;
I ants or laborers to sell any produots
jof the I. rm without the consent of
the owner. There is no farmer that
i can guard thirty acres of land day
; and night, and hu should be protect
;ed by the laws. One reason that we
j have our ern-criba and smoke
l houses in the rvortli West is because
I the hard earned products of the
fannci is not sufficiently safe any
' nearer to him. A well tilled
meat hou-o or orib is a standing ad
vertisement to every rogue and va
grant to come and rob them.
COXCKAI.KI) WEAI* NS.
There is loss use for a pistol than
anything that a, man possibly
can carry. Hoys cariv them, with
out tho consent or knowledge of
their mother’s and their father’s anil
■ unlawful acts aro commiuiid. It is
unlawful for merchants to sell a minor
a deadly weapon; and, it is against
the law for men to carry w capons
cone a!ed. When the law is violat
ed and y ■ll know of such violations
and it is your dut y to seo that such
1 jiersons ai'o indited and brought be
fore tho courts to answer such
charges as ar t against them. A
man has a right to carry a pistol as
he goes to market or clsewnere, to
protect him*elf, hut not concealed. ;
}ili tubers of the jury at.il nUlcers
of the law sometimes curry weapons

l’lnying and betting at cards is a
poor way to get a living, and it is un
lawful Mines and are not allowed
la gamble for money. Hoys com
mence playing cards for amusement,
and to make the game interesting a
small stake must be put up.
There is no money, wisdom
or benefit in it, and it is better to
learn to run a horizontal ditch. If
you know of any that have been
plaviug at cards for money, and you
are afraid to present them, there
should be nun that are tot s.fn.id
of finding a true hill against such,
to serve on tne grand jury.

arc those that arc bn\ing, selling and

This is a law that t* often violated
without intending it. Good men
sometimes violate it. W lien tliero

long speeches, you can’t do it
Tho following from the Griffin S un
is applicable to this section as to
Sna ding and wo think the Suh is
about right:
“We threw out a suggestion some
time ago to the efeet that it would
tic well for our county ci.izena to
hold a nominating convention for ti c
purpose of putting good men up as
candidate* for tho Constitutional
Convention. If the plan i* not adop
ted no will have a In st of incompe
tent men running lor the position,
who wiH only serve to reduce tbe
*■ length of the thinking portion of
the community. '1 bo thirst for
office is greater than ever among
the little one-horse politicians, and
there are the very men whom the
good of commonwealth requires to
stay at home. A nominating conven
tion. composed of delegates from all
district* m the county, without re—
gurd to party, would bo beneficial in
this connection.”
Tho opponents of the Convention,
says the Columbus Times, aro con
ducting their canvass very adroitly
by suiting tlioirj main objections to
the locality in which they jmmiise to
he most effective. The homestead
i=, we believe, made an ol jcct of
their solicitude throughout the Stale,
hut it is only in particular sections
that they will give prominence to the
removal ipiostion and tho probability
of a reduction of tho numlor of
Iteprcsentntiycs. Tho friends of the
Convention should not waste their
stiength in contentions for particu
lar favorites as delegates, hut should
add rest themselves earnestly to the
work of preventing tho defeat of the
call.
The jid at Conyers, was burned
on last .Mondev night. Two negro
prisoners were in tho building, hut
both were burned to ilentli. It is
sujiposcd the negroes set it on fire in
order to cscajie. Every effoit to savo
them was made.
According to too Detroit "Free
I'rcss “no woman can practice law in

SOIL IEST 01’ i'ER riLLIZEKS I’OR 1870-—The Commissioner of Agriculture required 500
pounds of each brand of Lertihz r sold in Georgia to be subject to a thorough soil test. Tho persons
designated to make this test were selected trout among the most intelligent and careful farmers in tbe
tx ate. As far as possible, each sample of 500 poundc was divided into three equal portions, aDd one
portion sent io each section of the State—North, Aluldle and Southern Georgia.
From the above table.it will be seen that tho SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO was more thoroughly
tested than any other brand, (number of tests being double) and shows the greatest gaiu in {yield, being
63 per cent., or 327 pounds Seed Cotton.
Thus, 109 pounds lint cotton, at cents per pound for middling, which price has been realized in
