“Misery Loves Company”
Is one of the old and trite maxims handed
down from time immemorial; and as we strug
gle and writhe under the oppression and in
justice meted out under the present various
“ systems" of government, it is at least some
consolation to realize that there are those
who sympathise with us, and who are not so
“dead” and callous to the evils spoken of as
to be afraid to let their sentiments be put on
record in denunciation of the present extrav
agance on the one hand, and high-handed rob
bery on the other. Read, ponder and “digest”
the sentiments contained in the two following
extracts: —
THE STATE TAX IS IMPERIOUS.
Here it comes, mountain upon mountain,
crushing and tearing, mailing and rending.
The State Tax must be paid now, or here goes
the Sheriff and deputies to levying and selling
like bulls in a cane break. Every villain to
his purse, and his “rags” to the ravenous
horde. Per cent, and costs and fees hand
round in the merry dance—the mad dance.
Let it come. The State must be plethoric,
the people may bleed. The hammer is going,
and let him who wouldn't be crushed walk
up to the captain’s office and fork over. The
time is come, and though the gaunt belly and
the shivering frame, the bare head and peer
ing heels and toes sutler on. the tax must be
paid. Though the land is filled with woe and
want, and man cannot strain out the prospect
of his part, after running to and fro. because
business languishes—it must come. It must,
and shall, and will come.
Fellow citizens ! Don’t some people play
the fool mightily ? Do they show in public
matters the same amount of discernment that
they do in their private affairs ? Wouldn’t
one be called a madman to act thus ? Or do
they care ? Is the State, the creature for our
good, to be our remorseless oppressor ? Shall
the fixed time remain from year to year the
same, when business is driven back two months
from what it formerly was ?
Who can force collections at a given time
now-a-days ? Why should the State suspend
collections, and create homesteads between
its citizens, for relief purposes, and j’et inex
orably demand the last cent to itself, as
promptly as in former days—r.nswer us, ye
solons.— At. Independent.
TAXES.
It seems to us that taxes are much higher
than they’ ought to be, and we think if the
proper economy were used in the administra
tion of affairs that they might be greatly re
duced. The cry' of retrenchment has been
heard every since Bullock, the usurper, and
his hungry gang were driven from power, but
it lias been in vain, and the people are still
compelled to groan under the burden of un
reasonable taxation. There is something
wrong somewhere, and it should be sought
out and corrected. There are two many offi
cers, and their salaries are too high for the
hard times. Why is it that it requires so
much more money to run the government
now than it did before the war? We have
often wished to see a solution of this problem,
but have never seen it. The necessities of
the times require that the struggling people
deny themselves and practice the most rigid
economy in order to make an honest living,
and those who hold public office should make
some sacrifice also. The people should pro
test against the unjust tax that is imposed
upon them, and demand a reduction. We
are no croaker when we think justice is done ;
but while we live we intend to speak out and
denounce oppression, injustice and public
robbery. —Cherokee Georgian.
THE NEGRO AND HARD TIMES.
We insert the following remarks of the
Nashville ( Tenn .) American, for two or three
reasons. First, the remarks apply with equal
force to all sections of the South—to a great
er or less extent. Second, the article is quite
complimentary to all parties concerned, and
is. to our mind, deservedly true ; and lastly,
the colored reader may, in our opinion, learn
a most valuable and important lesson from
its perusal; which in the end, it is hoped,
will inspire him with a still further desire to
act in conformity with aud adopt the senti
ments so clearly set forth in the article :
“ There is one good effect of the hard
times which is generally acknowledged but
which has not been much noticed by the
press. The negro had not become a thrifty,
industrious citizen, lie was too much dis
posed to have his own way just to show that
he knew he was free, lie was too much
inclined to seek the higher walks of life,
where a plug hat and a cane were the
symbols of freedom and gentility. If he
was compelled to work to live, he was deter
mined to do a very little work and a great
deal of living; and he had a provoking
preference for working on his employer’s
hen-house, rather than his farm. He consid
ered that leisure and aristocracy are synony
mous. and he was the least bit provident in
order that he might be an aristocrat half
the year. We do not mean to complain of
the negro either. It was to be expected
that he would kick up his heels and frolic
awhile after the harness was removed. Alto
gether he has done well, and all things
considered he has been a fair producer. It
was necessary, however, for him to recog
nize the fact that lie is a laborer for awhile
yet, and to don the harness again in some
form or other, and the hard times have cer
tainly had the effect to teach him that persis
tent energy and well being are necessary
concomitants. Certainly the negro has
never worked so hard as he has done within
the past two years. He has never had such
an opportunity of finding out that his white
neighbors, who own the property and land
in this country, are the best and only friends
he has. Hard as times have been and diffi
cult as our white population have found it to
live through the past two years, to their
honor it should be said, that the negroes
who had nothing and no means of living
have not been permitted to suffer. They
have in many places had a hard struggle,
but they have found their white neighbors
ready to preserve them from starvation and
to provide work of some kind for them.
Many men have employed hands when they
could have got along without them, and ail
have recognized the duty of the employer
to stand by his employee to the extent of his
ability.
“This has had a good effect on the negro.
It has taught him a useful lesson concerning
his entire dependence upon the white man, or
rather their mutual dependence. It has
taught him that he must labor with unceas
ing energy ; and for the past year his efforts
have been such as to give promise of better
things. The results of his labor are shown
in the large production of tips abundant har
vest. \Vqilu he has been less foolishly inde
pendent, more respectful and more industri
ous, he has also been more moral, and there
has been everywhere less complaint of crime
and theft than in more prosperous years.
We can well afford to have passed
through this period of hardship, if it shall
have permanently improved the laboring
class, ami taught them a propor—not a
servile—spirit of dependence, and disposed
them to labor for their own improvement
and for building up the wealth of the country,
and becoming themselves a thrifty’, frugal,
industrious population.”
GEORGIA LANDS AND CROPS.
We do not believe the space occupied could
be filled with more interesting or encouraging
information than will be found in the follow
ing “ scraps" taken at random from our ex
changes :
Fifty’ acres of land in Monroe county, which
had been in cultivation for fifty years, were
made to yield one thousand bushels of corn
the past season.— Sav. Neivs.
Eugene Atkinson, of Morgan county, has
gathered two five hundred pound bales of
cotton from two acres, and expects to get an
other bale from the same patch. —Madison
Home Journal.
Mr. Malcom, near Mars Hill, assisted by r
his son 13 years old, made this year upwards
of 300 bushels of wheat, a large qnantity of
oats, abundance of corn and meat to do his
family. Besides this, he has made on 12 acres
of ground ten bales of cotton, averaging 500
lbs. each. The whole crop is wortii upwards
of $1,500. —Athens Watchman.
11. H. J. writes to the Macon Telegraph
from Thomasville: Miss Joanna Bowman
exhibited a bale of beautiful cotton, which
she had planted with her own hands, plowed
and cultivated, picked and hauled to the gin.
The same lady, assisted by her sister, last
year raised five bales of cotton, tlie proceeds
of which were applied to the liquidation of a
debt on the homestead.
We were shown last week, by Maj. Sim
mons, who is a successful cotton grower, the
finest stalk of cotton, of the Dickson variety’,
we have seen this year. It is now on exhi
bition at Spence’s store, and we doubt wheth
er it can be beat in the county. This stalk
is only a sample of an acre and a half patch,
which will make two bags of cotton. — Law
renceville Herald.
One of our Brooks county Grangers tells
us that he lias sold one thousand bushels of
corn this fall, for which he has realized one
dollar per bushel; and he still has one hun
dred more to spare. In addition to the above
he has made about four bales of cotton, and
raised hogs, potatoes, pinders. oats and cane
in abundance. This is the product of a two
horse farm, without any hired labor, his two
young brothers being his only assistance.—
Quitman Reporter.
The Macon Telegraph say’s that Mr. G. N.
Monroe, of Marion county, had specimens of
the St. Domingo y’am potato on exhibition
at the Fair, which evinced superior fecundity
of production. The editor saw not less than
a peck of the tubers adhering to a single root.
This potato lias the advantage over all others
of yielding fine crops upon ordinary soil, but
keeps during the winter almost like ear corn.
Mr. Monroe raised 750 bushels per acre and
harvested 2,000 bushels of this invaluable
esculent, which is destined to be a blessing
to the coutry.
Here is something suggestive from the Ap
peal : “About twelve months since a farmer
living near Cuthbert was taken with the Wes
tern fever, and sold his plantation l’or less
than $2.50 per acre, in order to make the
change. The purchasers this year gathered
over three hundred bushels of corn from less
than 15 acres of this ground. One of the own
o/s of this place showed us the other day an
car of corn grown by them which measured
eleven inches in circumference and was over
nine inches in length. Still, some of our farm
ers will continue to buy corn the year through,
and are always talking about the glorious
West.”
Marietta Journal: Mr. R. S. Eidson, who
lives near Big Shanty', Cobb county, is a man
of remarkable energy and industry, consid
ering the fact that he lost his right arm in
the late war, and has only his left hand to
work with. In the cultivation of his farm
this year he made, off of five acres of ground,
one hundred and thirty bushels of corn and
fifty-three bushels of wheat, besides a large
quantity of potatoes, turnips, peas, etc. Two
of the acres produced seventy-five bushels of
com. This is not only creditable to the soil
of Cobb, but also to Mr. Eidson, and shows
that there is as much in the man as in the
land. There is no telling how much lie would
make if he had two hands to work with.
Col. 11. 11. Jones, observing bales of beg
gar lice hay at the Thomasville Fair, thus
writes : “The history and value of this for
age crop deserves more than a passing notice.
About ten years since it was introduced into
this region from Florida, and soon, borne by
the winds and birds, began to spread in all
directions, until now it has covered the entire
surface of the country'. So tender and juicy
is the plant, and sweet and delicate to the
taste, that horses and cattle will abandon pea
fields, if any' is to be found in the vicinity',
and prefer it to every' other description of
forage. The seed, which resembles millet,
though nearly black, comes up like crowfoot
gjass in the fields, after the cultivation ofthe
growing crop is over. The growth is very
rapid, and it soon shades the ground com
pletely, thus protecting it from the ray's of
the sun, and is also exceedingly useful as a
fertilizer. It is only recently that the farm
ers have become aware of the inestimable val
ue of this gift of a bountiful Providence, and
if properly' utilized it can be made to drive
out all the Northern and Western hay', which
is such a grievous tax to our people. Indeed,
why should a dollar be expended for forage
while Indian corn can be sown for stock,
and crab grass, millet, oats and this new food
plant can be raised and saved with so little
outlay and in such abundance ? The “beg
gar lice” should be sown just before the last
ploughing of corn, and afterward will take
care of itself. It is easily cured, and grows
luxuriantly' on almost any soil.
Here’s richness! A young man named
Rowe was arrested in Muncie, Indiana, last
week, charged with stealiug money from the
ey r es of a corpse, with which he was sitting
up. The amount taken was seventy-five cts.
The Empire State still ahead ! The above
paragraph will count very well for “mean,”
but a gay and festive y'outh in Wilkes coun
ty' has eclipsed it by' obtaining $1.50 from his
flame to get a marriage license to marry' her,
but got it for another girl and married her.

FIGHT RADICALISM.
SENATOR GORDON TELLS WIIAT CHECKED THE
TIDAL WAVE —THE NATIONAL CANVASS MUST
BE MADE AGAINST THE CRIMES OF RADICAL
ISM !
The other day, while Senator John B. Gor
don was in Charleston, he was interviewed
by a reporter of the News and Courier, when
the following colloquy was had :
THE INTERVIEW.
Reporter. —Gen. Gordon, I shall be very
glad to have your views as to the causes which
have checked what we call the “democratic
tidal wave?” Has the currency question
served to defeat the democrats at the north ?
Gen. Gordon. —Well, sir, in one sense, it
has. In another sense, the currency question
has had nothing to do with it. Let me ex
plain what I mean. If you intend by your
inquiry to ask if the platforms on currency
adopted by Ohio and Pennsylvania defeated
the democrats in those states, I answer no.
They would have lost those states upou a hard
money or contraction platform just as surely,
and, perhaps, by larger majorities. You see,
in New York, on a hard-money platform, the
democrats, while they have carried the state,
have in truth lost far greater strength, as com
pared with the last vote, than have the dem
ocrats of Ohio and Pennsylvania on a green
back platform. So that the currency question,
either because the one side or the other was
popular or unpopular, right or wrong, has had
nothing to do with the defeat of the northern
democracy.
Reporter —ln what sense, then, has this cur
rency question aided in this defeat ?
Gen. Gordon —Why, sir, in the sense that
it served to direct the public attention from
the corruptions and maladministration of the
party in power. If the democratic party had
absolutely uuited either upon the one side or
the other of this currency question, and had
made it a leading issue in these campaigns,
we should still have been defeated, for the
democratic party of the union, upon any oth
er issues except those I have mentioned—
the corruptions and maladministration of the
republican party—fight at great disadvantage.
They go to war upon new issues on which the
public mind is not made up, with a strong
party backed up by all the departments of the
administration, and with which the majority
of the northern people have long been acting.
In other words, when we confine ourselves to
the work of exposing the extravagance, the
profligacy, the gigantic frauds, the southern
policy of the republican party and its efforts
to keep alive, for its own purposes, sectional
alienations, then we have on these issues, fur
nished good reasons to the people for aban
doning that party. Then we have, I sincere
ly believe, the honest men of all parties with
us, and upon these issues, and these alone,
the democrats would, in my judgment, have
carried both Ohio and Pennsylvania and the
state of New York would not have lost its fifty
thousand majority. Any other question which
served to divert public attention from the true
grounds upon which the people ought to be
asked to expel from power the republican par
ty would have been just as disastrous to the
democrats as this currency question.
Reporter —Then general, you do not con
sider the elections as so discouraging to
democrats in 1876?
Gen. Gordon —No, Ido not. Of course it
would have been more satisfactory to me to
have seen the dmocrats successful in all these
states ; but if the reverse serves to set aside
this question of finance, and, sir, every other
question which distracts public attention
from the exposures which we have already
made, and may yet make, of radical corrup
tions. ivhat we consider reverses may prove
beneficial to the democratic party in the end.
Reporter —Then you think the republicans
would be very glad to have new issues intro
duced.
Gen. Gordon. —Of course they would, and
it does not matter with them much what
these new issues are ; whether they be the
currency, the acquisition of Cuba or a war
with the Pope—anything rather than their
own record. They know very well that the
people are against their Credit Mobiliers,
their Indian, their railroad and their Wash
ington city government rings, and on these
would vote them out of power. They have
tried war prejudices, southern outrage slan
ders, sectional hatreds, dispersion of lawful
legislatures, carpet-bag government, and
they have seen that the people are heartily
tired ot all these ; that the north as well as
the south wants honest government, peace
and sectional concord, and southern prosper
ity, good feeling and harmony restored.
Hence, I say the national democracy will
mako a serious mistake if they permit any of
these new issues to be brought into the next
presidential canvass next year; and what I
now say after the elections I have said again
and again, publicly and private!}’, long before
the elections. I have not at all changed my
views upon the financial problem; but in
truth it is too great a question to be brought
on the hustings. It ought not to be made a
party question ; it should be discussed with
deliberation and kept free from all party ani
mosities and feelings.
Reporter —Do you think that the national
democratic party will, after the lessons of
Tuesday, be disposed to drop the currency
question in the presidential canvass ?
Gen. Gordon —l am satisfied that they will;
that the currency question will not be made
either paramount or prominent; and that both
wings of the democratic part}’, on the cur
rency question, and the liberal republicans
will unite in ’76 in favor of the constitution,
local government, honest and economical ad
ministration.
