II iuj*n (Timber <6a*rttc MCH'D.W. GRUBB, r"™ 1 ,.,,. A. L. ADAMS, - - Associate Editor. DARIEN, GEORGIA, SATIRIHY MORNING, MAY !). 1874. CELESTIAL AGRICULTURE “Capt. Barnwell has imported thir ty of the ‘heathen Chinee,’ to work on his rice plantation, near Darien. Ti it should prove a success what then ? j The i.ejroes evi lently don’t quite like j this influx of celestial pig-tails. We clip the above extract from aj correspondence in the New York Times. The first President of the United States was a planter, and ho immor talized Agriculture by example as well j as precept. Although lie declared if the noblest employment of man, it is exceedingly doubtful whether he ever even dreamed of celestial agriculture. Be that as is may, it is now an open question. The doors of emigration 01*6 opening wider and wider every day in China. Thousands have left their ideal land, and crossed the great oceau to find a homo in California. They are scattering all o/er the coun try, and when the tide of emigration fairly sits in many will he astonished to see the swell which will tlow over the country. Darien and Shanghai are in about the same latitude. B dtimore is a few miles south of LVrkin. There are many reasons why Ihe Chinamen will select this part of the country. The climate, natural pro ducts, etc., are much alike. We be lieve tea is grown with some success in Liberty co nly, and when Mr. Ah Ching and family arrive, there is no tell Ing to what, proportions the busi ness will increase. They have the reputation of being an industrious, economical, and ingenious people- Agriculture is tiro leading pursuit The Emperor plows and sows some seeds with his own hand once a year, ..y,,.. 1. ; .. fig J!nd^^"U)-- age the tilbro of the soil. We like their agriculture better than their morals and filthy manner of living. This is a question that will force itself upon the people speedily. The colored citizens will have much to do in deciding this qneution. l>y their industry and economy they control the labor of Iho it? We think they will. Here is a large and productive country to be developed into a paradise. We shall have more to say On the subject by and bv. POWER OF EXAMPLE. “NON F- or ISI.IViU’H TO HIMSIJU !" In everything and in every day, this truth is < xcinplified. It is not confined to any system of morals or religion, but is found alike in all, uud in the business affairs of every-day life it is just as prominent. Mr. ‘BV has anew suit of clothes. Where did he get them? 1 must treat myself to the same. Mrs. so-and-so has anew style ot bonnet. I must have one like it, only trimmed a little nicer before I attend church again. Poor inde pendence ! My neighbor is improv ing his grounds and houses, and I must do likewise. My Brother mer chant is building anew store, and I must improve mine. Lather takes a 'social glass' occasionally. Why should not 1 ? Of course you should. ‘Eat, drink and be merry.’ Jt is fashion able ! Communities, collectively are much like the individual character of a dozen of the lea ling families. I have seen communities where the min ister drank, the doctor drank, every body drank : it was the fashion to drink. Again, I have seen communi ties where nobody drank—miserable fashion indeed! Nobody drunk! Echo : Drunken nobody I A fellow who cannot drink and puff a cigar is nobody in my estimation, and vice versa. There are times when it'is better to be nobody than to be somebody. Nobody is never to blame but somebody always is. Should we not look to those in authority in this place for- example ? It is said, “Ex ample is morepKedoniinant than pre cept.” Beware ! beware ! for “None of nsjivelu to himsehf 1 ’ Who sponsible ? “Not I! r ''!” But. vnnebedy is. . / | PUBLIC SPIRIT. “to the public coon PRIVATE respects MUST YIELD.” We have before us a broad subject, pregnant with thought ami impor tance. It forms the best criterion of the prosperity of cities, States and na tions. We would not confound pub lic sprit with public plunder. The tendency of the age is too apt to do this. By public spirit we mean an honest, liberal, watchful, progressive, interest in the world at and especially in th • ciunmnnily in which you live. We are well aware that public spirited men generally live far ahead of their times, and they have to en counter many vexatious impediments from all classes of society, and in every conceivable way. People will fight agaiiibt public changes and im provements when in their short sight edness they cannot see how they will bo hern-fit to 1. Selfishness is not al ways near-sighted. If you will trace back the pages of History carefully, you will find that every government when in the height of its prosperity broadened its sphere of liberality and progression until ail was sunshine. There is nothing else that will so quickly and surely develop a country as a little of this leaven. Because selfish and designing men nro ever watching for an opportunity to take advantage of the liberal and unsus pecting, whet her in the private or pub lic walks of life should not discourage any from acting the nobler part. Public spirit like the milk of hu man kindness, does not flow in every breast, or it tiows so deep in many that it is not perceptible to (he natur al eye. In Darien this subject has a practi cal side which we are happy to say has received much attention of late. The improvements within the past three years in ties place have been very many and such as have promo te 1 the growth and prosperity of the city. Go ahead ! there is room for more improvement, and what pays hotter? Ten thousand dollars spent judiciously in city improvements wdlliti Tileic-aae Loth the" “value nViTI sale of property fully twenty per cent. Probably more than that within the next year. It is asked wiio should pay for these outlays? They pay for themselves through those who "are lx■ unfitted by them. Why not? Dari en is rising from her dusty hed of ashes, and in ten years she will be a new place. Note this. DAMAGE TO RICE AND SUGAR CROPS. • The New Aoik Bulletin, in its issue of Saturday, says that the best rice lafvls in Louisans are in the flooded dis fids; which fact, if the damage be as great as the Bulletin supposes, must have an important influence upon the market for Carolina rice. Last year Louisiana produced 3U..00Q tierces. The Bulletin says: The re ports which come to us from Louisi ana, as to the disastrous effects of the overflowing of the Mississippi, are dis tressing in the extreme. A i iart from the suffering inflicted upon the inhab itants personally, the losses resulting from the destruction of crops and other material values cannot be well (k imputed. The whole rice and sugar region in the Lnfource district is rep v esented to be under water; and what this means, commercially, will be under stood when it is stated that the bavon and coast land which is thus laid waiste produced before the war n< any all the sugar that was consumed in the United States. Ail the best rice crops were also produced there.— Many of the finest estates, within 18 miles of New Orleans even, have been swept away, and the city itself is threatened with inundation from the rear levees. Since the destructive crevasse of 1871 there had been no overflow of consequence, and the planters hence seemed to have been lulled into a false security. The effect of all this on the mar kets for Louisiana produced at this port is yet to be seen. The estimate qf the quantity of l ice to be taken for see 1 purposes, it is generally under stood, will have to be increased, per haps to a large extent; but as yet all is uncertainty on that score. A large portion of the rice section seems to have been inundated, and this would necessarily compel the witdrawal from the stock of a sufficient quantity to m ike the deficiency. Blunting again can be delayed until early iu June, but this woul 1 pat the reason more than a month behind. A consider able area oT%- _wy‘y cultivating sugar has been danTagemto such an extent by the freshefV that the next crop is expected to sVy a mark J ' “ off AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA. Brunswick has received her fire en gine and she are happy. Now for a fire over that to. The Episcopalians of Brunswick had services in their new Church, on the 27th nit., f r the first time. (This is one of the ju ttiest churches in the State, and the Episcopalians deserve great credit for their enterprise. The Appeal announces the death of Mrs. Wm. It. Dart, of that’place. We deeply sympath ze with our friend Mr. Dart, in his sad bereavement. Col. Andrew Sloan, our Congress man, is looking after the interests of his constituents. All Darien asks for at present, is a daily mail. Give us that Mr. Sloan, and we’ll be lmfppy. The Brunswick Appeal says (hero is a young man in that city, “who puts his clothes on backwards, when in a hurry to attend a fire at f glit. ’ We ll bet that youth lives ' I > Bay street.

Acton, of the Atlanta Con solution, while it would only take a half spade full of coal to makjp ashes of uncle Tom Bray.” Judge Ilansell, of the Thomasviflc Circuit, in his chaige to the Grand Jury of Thomas county, said that billiard playing was gambling —that is if the looser of the game paid for it.
