The Hawkinsville Dispatch makes the fol
lowing prediction : “If the convention soon
to assemble should, in framing anew consti
tution, provide a homestead law that cannot
be waived by the owners of property, the Le
gislature, at its next session, will be forced,
by public sentiment, to re-enact the old crop
lien law that was in existence from 1867 un
til a year or two ago. The farmers would be
compelled to have some kind or basis of credit,
and if the convention should so frame a
homestead or exemption law that property
could not be mortgaged and a waiver given
thereto, it is very evident that all classes
would favor another act allowing parties to
give liens upon their crops.”
Rings for Ihe Securemcnt of Office.
Col. Styles, in the last number of his
Eagle, animadverts thusly on the practice,
so common, and 3'et so disgusting and repre
hensible, of forming combinations for the
purpose of securing office at the hands of va
rious bodies. The Secretaryship of the Con.
Con. is the subject under diseussion, but the
Col.’s forcible and truthful remarks frill apply
just as well in other directions.
“Already combinations have been formed,
ramifying the whole State, by which the
chief is to he made secretary and all the rest
assistants. They seek to stock the game
before the assembling of the Convention, by
taking in a man with a squad of friends here,
another there, and so on round the circle,
till they aggregate strength enough to elect
the head of the ring.
“This is a most disreputable custom, and
one that would be ‘more honored in the
breach than the observance.’ It is not only
an insufferable bore to the members, but it
actually degrades them to a sort of stock in
trade, and they are bartered as other com
modities, to suit the whims, caprices and
personal gain of their local friend, who is
generally a ward or cross-roads politician,
and enforces his demands by threats of an
tagonism at the next election.
“If we write plainly, we write truthfully.
We disclaim any personal feeling in the mat
ter. Our personal relations with the gentle
men referred to are of the kindest character,
but we cannot endorse or commend their
everlasting candidacy for public offices of
profit. Our censure is based upon general
principles, and the indecency of the practice
is as obnoxious in one as another. Rotation
and a proper division of spoils would be more
in accordance with the fitness of things, and
it strikes us as exceedingly brassy and gree
dy for those who already hold fat places to
be putting in for more.
“Finally, the Secretaryship of a Constitu
tional Convention is an office of dignity as
well as profit, and should not be debased by
the ‘tricks of the trade' that usually charac
terize the organization of the Legislature.
Cannot this Convention rebuke, and forever
put a stop to the disgusting and corrupting
practice ?”
The Price of Wheat.
For the benefit and interest of those who
have to buy and also those who have the
grain to sell, we make the following extracts
from the market report of the Atlanta Con
stitution of the Ist inst:—
The main interest is now felt in wheat,
which is beginning to come in rapidly and is
of very fine quality. The crop throughout
north Georgia has turned out as well as farm
ers hoped. It is in good demand here at
$1.40 to §1.50 with constant increase i:i sup
ply. There seems, however, to be a disposi
tion on the part of some farmers in this part
of the state to hold their wheat for better
prices. This will probably be found to be a
mistaken policy. The Georgia crop is almost
a month ahead of that of the west. By com
ing into the market earlier, it meets a fine
demand. This year the crop in the west is
enormous. In a few weeks it will be poured
in on the market and a decline in prices is
almost inevitable. It seems that just now is
the very best time to sell Georgia wheat.
At least it is a doubtful experiment to hold
it for higher prices.
New Wheat. —Samples of new wheat are
beginning to come in quite lively now. On
'change this morning, 100 bushels of White
wheat brought §1.25 per bushel, and 50 bags
Red May §1.10; 250 bushels Bowden were
bought by a Cincinnati firm at §1.41 ; 200
bushels of Amber, delivered immediately, at
§1.36 ; 200 bushels of Bowden, delivered at
$1.36; 50 bushels of White at §1.17, to be
delivered next week ; 300 bushels of Bowden
at §1.32, and 300 bushels of Red at §1.23. —

Southern Cultivator.
From among the numerous valuable sug
gestions in the July number of the “old fa
vorite.” the following are re-published as wor
thy the special attention of the majority of
our readers :
LATE CORN—LAYING BY.
It is important that nothing should be left
in a corn field after its last working, but the
corn itself and peas planted or sown in it.—
Anything else will rob the corn of a part of
its food when it needs all it can get to make
large heavy ears. If you will raise corn, by
all means work it thoroughly, and get the
best possible returns. The peas will also
come in for a full share of benefit, and so
valuable a crop is entitled to at least one
good working. Whilst urging thorough work,
we caution against deep ploughing and cut
ting the roots. Early in the season root-cut
ting may be repaired by formation of new
roots, but it is too late for that now—the corn
must do its work quickly, and can’t wait for
now roots. cotton.
Work at longer intervals, and run the plow
quite shallow—frequent and deep workings
now, encourage too much formation of weed.
V\ hat is needed is a slow steady growth and
forming of fruit. To this end, a mulch of
loose earth, to counteract heat of sun and es
cape of moisture, is needed ; also destruction
of all weeds and grass which can rob the cot
ton of its food. Run the plows shallow, that
the roots may come near the surface and
draw upon the upper as well as the deeper
portions of the soil. About the end of the
month top cotton—it is not liable to do much
harm—it may do good.
SWEET POTATOES.
Keep perfectly clean—if necessary the mid
dles may be plowed and the earth drawn up
to the vines with a hoe. It is not well to dis
turb the beds much after the vines have fair
ly begun running. Slips and vines of early
varieties may be put out during the whole of
this month.
FODDER CORN AND MILLET.
Continue to sow on damp land. If there
is no bottom land to spare, perhaps a stream
may be conducted along a hill-side and damp
ness secured in that way. Millet will mature
in about two months, and may be sown there
fore as late as the Ist of August.
WHEAT.
Thresh and sun well, and whilst hot put in
barrels, which are also hot from having had
a little straw burnt in them. Thus treated,
it will not be disturbed by insects. Be sure
to reserve an ample supply for home use, in
stead of feeding or selling now,
and being forced thereby to buy flour next
winter.
Oats are best kept in stacks—have these
elevated above ground, high enough for cats
to get under them. If stored in houses, put
buts against the wall and heads out—the rats
will not destroy thom so badly.
The Foreign War.
TIIE RUSSIANS MARCHING ON.
Last week it was announced that the Rus
sians. to some considerable number, had
crossed the Danube at Galatz. From the
telegrams in our daily exchanges the follow
ing facts —which is the “pith” of the news
received since the accounts of last week —are
made up ;
It is ascertained now that the principal
crossing west ofGurigevo was at Petraceni
and Parapan, just below Sumnitza, where the
Russians crossed on a large number of rafts
and small boats, until the position was se
cured on the south bank. This accounts for
the comparatively small loss suffered by the
Russian troops, as the passage was effected
in small detachments who were scattered on
the river and advanced towards the opposite
bank, after the manner of skirmishers, so as
to render the enemie’s fire less effective.
The Russians have also crossed at Turnu
Maguerill, and have joined the Grand Duke
Nicholas at Sistova. The Russian commisa
riat have telegraphed to hurry up supplies
for the army, representing that the country
on the other side of the river is destitute and
saying there are fears of famine in Bulgaria.
London, June 30. —Rumors are that the Rus
sians captured Batonm. and Turkish gun
boats destroyed the bridge at Ibrail. Foreign
consuls left Rustchuk. A dispatch from Nikap
olis to Daily Telegraph, June 29th says the
Russians attempted to cross the river here
on Thursday in fifty lighters, ten of the light
ers were sunk by shells and the attempt failed.
The slaughter was frightful.
A Daily News dispatch from Vienna, dat
ed last night, says it is persistently announc
ed here that a battle has been ranging to-da} 1
below Sistova.
Servia lias ordered at Paris accoutrements
for 50,000 men to be delivered in three
weeks.
The Daily News has a Altenitza dispatch,
dated Wednesday, which says this morning's
operations have been a successfull attempt
to unmask the Turkish batteries, by launch
ing a fleet of eight boats loaded with dummy
soldiers. When the fleet roadbed midstream,
it drew the fire from a thousand rifles and ma
ny cannon upon itself and the Russian earth
works.
From London dates of July Ist, these ad
ditional facts arc gleaned :
Operations on the Danube are progressing
somewhat secretly. Rustchuk and Nikopo
lis have been abandoned by the Turks. No
crossing has yet been made at Turnu Magu
relli. Frow Simnitza it is said an easy route
extends to the Balkans, and for this path the
Russians are now contending. Roumania, it
is rumored, will follow the Czar across the
river. The excited feeling in England over
Russian successes seems to be subsiding in
a measure. The Turks in Asia Minor are
said to have considerable advantage over the
Russians, as the latter move slowly and un
certainly.
A French military critic, writing before the
events of Simnitza were known, said : “No
matter how serious in appearance the partial
attacks that the Russians may direct against
either flank ; no matter what line of opera
tions they may choose for their forward move
ment after passing the Danube, it is certain
that towards the centre the main body of
their army will act. The success of this ma
noeuvre would have for its immediate effect
to cut the Turkish line of defense in two, and
place the whole of Bulgaria, up to the Bal
kans, at the discretion of Russians.”
The Observer has the following special dis
patch from Constantinople, dated Saturday
evening: “A terrible battle is progressing
near Sistova. Reinforcements are being has
tily forwarded from Rustchuk, Shumla and
Nicopolis. The Turks are still holding their
ground and their artillery is inflicting great
loss upon the Russians.”
The Saturday Review sums up the political
situation, so far as concerns European Tur
key, thus : “At the end of a costly cam
paign, though it may perhaps have been vic
torious, Russia will depend on the permission
of Austria to effect a permanent conquest in
Turkey.”
Reports from Montenegrin conflict, but the
best information leads to the belief that the
success of Suleiman and Saib Pasha has been
complete. The Turks place their entire loss
at two thousnnd killed and wounded, which is
probably underestimated ; but hardly so far
out of the way as the Montenegrin claims of
over ten thousand Turks killed.
The fighting forces of the Montenegrins are
now cheifly wedged in between the valley of
the Zeta and the Austrian frontier, whilst
Suleiman and Saib Pasha are waiting the ad
vance of Mehemit Ali along the Moratsha to
clear the eastern portion of the country and
intercept flight, either across the valley of the
Zeta to the Prince's headquarters, or down
the Maratsha into the Kutchi mountains.
A telegram via Raguso, from Sclavonic
sources, claims the defeat of Mehemit Ali
with great slaughter, but it is unconfirmed
and probably untrue. It must be remember
ed that the Turkish forces now in Montene
gro, or on the confines, number some sixty
thousand men, nearly half the total popula
tion of the county.
A dispatch says that a large Russian force
advancing inland was repulsed at Bicla. A
Simnitza dispatch, dated Friday, says that,
the Turks have abandoned Rustchuk and are
marching toward Sistova. A dispatch from
Vienna saj’s that the Russians fire cylinders
filled with inextinguishable combustibles. It
is stated that the Roumanian Cabinet has de
cided to cross the Danube.

last week for hanging a man who had been
convicted of murder, the sheriff resigned
rather than do the honors of the occasion and
no one could be found who would accept the
office. The coroner, who it seems “was an
old friend of the condemned man,” finally
undertook the job. With happy thoughtful

the gallows was built as close as possible to
the village bar-room.
The Constitutional Convention.
TIIE THIRTY-THIRD DISTRICT.
The Atlanta Constitution, with character
istic enterprise, is publishing short biograph
ical sketches of the members elect to the
Constitutional Convention. From its list
we extract the following reference to the
members from the Thirty-third District: —
MARTIN GRAHAM.
Martin Graham was born in South Carolina
about 1806, and married Miss Riley, in Hall
county in 1830. lie received only a com
mon school eduention, and is, in every re
spect, a self-made roan. He was for many
years a Justice of the Peace and Judge of
the Inferior Court of Hall county. He was
also the first Ordinary in Hall county, and
organized the court in 1852. He was too old
for military service during the war, but gave
a hearty support to the ‘‘Lost Cause,” and
lost a handsome estate Ivy its result. He is
still, however, possessed of a competency, and
is universally esteemed by all who know him.
Prior to the war he was an old line Whig,
and acted with the American party, but is
now a true and stanch Democrat.
MOSES BRYAN.
Moses Bryan was born in York District.
South Carolida, was educated in the “old
field” schools of his native State, and was
married to Miss Mary Buffington, of Hall
county, in 1828. He was too old for military
service when the war broke out, but he con
tributed liberally of his ample means towards
the support of the army, and those who were
in it. lie was a Justice of the Peace and a
Judge of the Inferior Court for many years,
but has never held any other office, lie is
a prosperous and a successful farmer, and for
forty years has been recognized as one of
the best and most useful men in Hall coun
ty. Prior to the war he was a Ilenry Clay
Whig, and a secessionist, and is now a De
mocrat of the old school.
DAVID A. CAMP.
David Asbury Camp was born in Jackson
county in 1827, within a half a mile of the
house in which he now lives, and was educat
ed at Jackson County Academy, lie was
first married in 1848 to Miss Ellen White,
daughter of lion. Robert White, of Jackson
county and ten years later, to Miss Anna
White, a sister of his first wife. He was a
Captain in the Sixteenth Georgia Cavalry,
and was severely wounded during the sum
mer of 1863, while operating with his com
mand in Tennessee. He served in the army
during the entire war, and was noted for his
gallantry and soldierly bearing. Capt. Camp
has never sought nor held a civil office in his
life, but this need not be taken as evidence
that he is not ambitious to serve his country,
his State and his fellow-citizens. lie was
originally a Whig, but since 185 G he has been
a Democrat. He was an opponent of the
secession movement, but cheerfully followed
the fortunes of his State in resisting Federal
oppression, lie will make a good record in
the Convention.
JOHN J. ,T. SIIEPPARD.
John J. J. Sheppard was born in South
Carolina in 1820, and was educated in An
derson, S. C., and was married to Miss Gun
nells, of Hart county in this State. He served
during the war as a private in the Eleventh
Georgia Cavalry, and made a fine record as
a gallant soldier. He is an old line Whig—
a Democrat since 1856. and opposed secession.
Mr. Sheppard is a successful fanner, and is
the largest tax-payer in Banks county. He
will make his influence felt in the Convention.
HTWe were exposed last week to a pitiless
storm, that wet our feet and stockings, and
indeed our person all over. In fact we took
a cracking cold, which brought sore throat
and severe symptoms of fever. The good
wife asserted her authority, plunged our feet
in hot water, wrapped us in hot blankets, and
sent our faithful son fora bottle of Ayer's
Ciierry Pectoral. It is a splendid medicine
—pleasant to take, and did the job. We slept
soundly through the night and awoke well the
next morning. We know we own our quick
recovery to the Pectoral, and shall not hesi
tate to recommend it to all who need such a
medicine. Tehuaccina (Texas) Presbyterian.

AGUE TOUSTIC
GIVEN AWAY
To all persons who have Chills and fail to be cur
ed. It is not often during these hard times, that
we ever hear of anything being given away, but
in the present case we have an article that will
bear the closest scrutiny, and severest test in every
sense of the word, and feel determined to place it
before the public in such a manner that there
cannot be a “ doubting Thomas.”
To all who may be afflicted with any form of
Ague, or chills and Fever, we make the proposi
tion
To all Persons
Fo cure you with one bottle of Day's Ague Tonic.
It never produces partial deafness, dimness of
vision, buzzing or roaring in the head, or any' of
those unpleasant symptoms that follow the use of
Quinine, it docs not contain arsenic, strychnine or
any other poison ; it acts finely upon the liver
and bowels without the use of nauseating pills ;
it can be given to those whose stomachs reject
Quinine, and the cures are prompt, effectual and
permanent.
Procure from any' Druggist or Merchant, one
bottle of Day's Ague Tonic, use as directed, and
if it fails, return the empty r bottle, and the money
will be refunded to all
Who have Chills.
This is surely a fair proposition, yet strange to
sa\% none have been returned to us. Druggists
and merchants say it gives more complete satis
faction. and sells more readily than any chill rem
edy' they ever sold.
Sold by Druggists and Merchants generally, at
one Dollar per bottle. sep 2 1876. ly
