Live It Down.
BEV. REWARD O. FI.AGG, D. D.
Has a foolish word been spoken,
Or an evil deed been done;
Has the heart been almost broken
For the friends that now disown ?
j Let not coldness or the frown
Shake thy niauliood—live it down.
Is the stern traducer sneering,
Thrusting inuendo vile;
With the world’s opinion veering,
Basking in its fickle smile ?
What are gossips, with their frown ?
Buzzing insects—live it down.
Verdict fairer will lie given
lit the sober afterthought;
j Charity, sweet child of Heaven,
Judgment harsh will set at naught.
Then will griev’d mercy's frown
Smite the sland’rer —live it down.
But if man refuse to soften
For tliat weakness he may feel,
There is One forgives as often
As tn Him we cKoaoi to kneel.
Droop not then if all should frown;
With such friendship—live it down.

FENCE OR NO FENCE.
SOME FEW STRONG FACTS
ON THE SUBJECT.
THE ENOIIMOL'B EXPENSE OF KEEPING
LANDS FENCED —THOUSAND OF ACRES
SAVED—SOME FACTS AND FIGURES
FOR FARMERS.
11. 11. J. in Maeon Telegraph.
Tbe election of to-raorrow is of
far greater importance to the free-1
holders of Bibb county than the
choice of a governor or a member
of Congress. In the latter case
general principles and interests uro
only involved. But in the present
instance the future welfare and
prosperity, if not the very existence,
of the laud owners hang suspended
in the balance. Let us briefly sur
vey the situation :
1. It is a matter of stubborn
fact that large areas of land, em
bracing some of our most fertile
districts, are so nearly denuded of
timber that a general conflagration
or cyclone would leave the occu
pants without the means of re-fen
cing their farms.
2. Even where the forests have
not wholly disappeared, the anuual
cost of making new enclosures and
repairing the old is a cause of seri
ous embarrassment, and not infre-
AjMßtly- ivbsot-bs'ali the net profits ‘
of the agriculturalist.
3. It is well-nigh impossible to!
persuade or compel tenants to keep \
up their fences ; lienee the propri-!
etor has no security whatever that!
his share of the crops will not fall
a prey to the inroads of straggling
stock.
4. The time required to split,
haul, and place the numerous rails
required for a farm, even of moder
ate dimensions, exhausts all the
spare interval between harvest and
spring, and leaves but little leisure
for anything else,
5. The fence law is an effectual
check to all immigration, as new
comers will not purchase farms
which cannot be enclosed and kept
iu operation, save at a ruinous
cash outlay.
G. Unless onr feces are abolish
ed, the area under cultivation will
steadily decrease, until the coun
try is no longer able to produce
tlje vegetables and other field pro
ducts essential to support a dense i
population; thus causing great dis
tress to the consumer.
7. The perpetuation of the fence
law must curtail tbe taxes and rev-;
enues of the county, as the aban-;
doned lands cannot fail to depre- 1
ciate in the market value; and this
evil will but increase with the lapse \
of every year,
8- Do away with the fences, find
a period will be placed to the exis
tence of the wretched, outlawed
hogs and cattle of the community,
which earn a precarious support
by depredating upon the fields and
preserves of the industrious agri
culturalist.
9. “No fence,” or its equivalent,
a stock law, will greatly improve
tlie breed and value of our hogs,
j sheep and cattle, as it costs no
more to keep thoroughbred animals
than the runts and scrubs which
infest the highways of the coun
try.
10. The abrogation of the pres
ent laws will add largely to the
products of the orchard, field and
dairy, by the ample time which ev
*ery farmer may utilize in planting
out vines and fruit trees, the col
lection and manufacture of home
fertilizers and attending to the
wants and comforts of his stock.
11. The housekeepers and poor
of Macon have a direct and per
sonal interest in the result of this
election, as the success of the “no
fence” men will greatly cheapen the
cost of fuel, by throwing into the
market thousands of cords of oak
and pine rails, which make admi
rable fire wood.
12. The poor man ought to ad
vocate “no fence ’ because if the i
: movement prevails be will be’able
to rent or homes, which
are now kept ont of the market ow- ■
ing to the fact that the cost of en
closing them amounts to prohibi-j
tion.
13. The fence law should be vo- i
ted dowu, becangafour-fifths of the j
landholders of the county are op
posed to it, and by every principle
;ot right and equity they, and they
alone, ought to be allowed to cou
trol the question.
The above comprise some ofj
the most salient Aasons for doing |
away with the present burdensome •
I aud almost ruinaas system of fen
ces. Many othe&vggumeuts might;
be adduced, sufficient to'
say that wliencyßißiul wherever
the experiment IMPiy-. re<• U _ the
result has provet “'Hi' ’ \re .•.^tisifac-.j
tory. In every -w ijftn>lyAy
iu Georgia, and 'U- JT, JOUt onV rfis*-j
ter State, South , but one j
voice—that of ajft 3HU-is heard ; s !
i and even the op -1
poueuts, are friends of i
j the measure.
.Iu conclusion it is but right and /
proper to say that.outside of a few j
| respectable exceptions, the great
; hulk of those who advocate tho j
1 present fence law are colored vo
; ters, a majority of whom have not
: paid their taxes,-or own nothing 1
' subje’et to taxation.
It should not be forgotten also, j
| that at the last election the advo
cates of. “no fence” were counted
out by the votes of less than a doz- {
j en old negroes, who could only vote |
I because their great age exempted '
them front the poll tax, and who
each and singly -swore to the fact j
they were not . possessed of one j
cent of property, either personal or
otherwise.
Comment is uagseessary. Fel
low citizens of Bibb, aro such char
acters to control, the capital, into!-;
ligence and respectability of our
community ? Answer at j;he ballot
box.
How HroniK'oole Was itnlucd.
George Q. Dromgcplo in 1835
was one of the nlAegt men in Con
gress, but his f m*was dissipation.
Remorse for a single act of folly—
a folly then fashionable' among
the chivalry—led him to dissipa
tion. He harl a friend, a class-mate
at college, fro/n uLeru he was,near
ly inseparable. Jf f not a blood re
lation h‘ jra* i;ont)ec&*<]
with General TJkorxigoole's family
! by marriage. The two friends had
■a slight difficulty; in which the lie
was given and the result was a
i challenge to the field of (so-called)
honor. At the first fire the chal
lenger fell pierced by the hall of
Dromgoole’s pistol, a lifeless
corpse. From the moment George
C. Dromgoole saw his fiiend wei
tering in his blood lie knew no
peace of mind. In the silent
watches of the night ho could still
see the ghastly face of the compan
ion of his boyish days as he lay
dead—murdered; and night after
night in his droaifis the duel would
be repeated, and it was only when
he drank deep, that he could find
rest from the horrid phantom.
Tfce unfortunate victim left a wife
and several small children in re
duced circumstances, and, although
in comfortable ciremnstaces him
self, Dromgoole dared not offer
relief, because lie was the murder
| er of the widow’s husband and
; father of her orphan children.
From that moment his resolve was
taken, and no miser hoarded his
resources with more care and-tried
; harder to increasp his wealth and
| to place it on a sure foundation
than did General Dromgoole, and
although some might guess, yet
never knew the reasoD, until after
his death it was found that all he
! posessed was given to the heirs
| of his unfortunate friend. To
: leave it in money might, he feared,
: cause those to whom it was be
queathed to reject" it, and having
I a fine opinion of. Ohio and of her
prosperity, he invested most of it
in lands in the counties of Pickaway
and Scioto, where he was certain
j it would rise in value,
—Good humor is characteristic
of the Georgia press. Even when
there is a deplorable scarcity of
interesting news, the editors sel
| dom get up a warfare among them
j selves, and if they attempt it, they
I are promptly frowned down by the
i pnblic. The cut and thrust style
ofcontrovery has given way to more
dignified methods. A little humor
is iudulged in, now and then, but
it rarely transcends the proper!
bounds. In fact the main body
of Georgia editors display the most j
admirable patience and forbear
ance,'and their morale is constantly
improving.—Post Appeal.

1 FARMERS AND FIGURES.
WHAT A TROUP COUNTY MAN THEyKS
OF FARMING ON BORROWED MONEY.
A prominent citizen*of Troup
\ county, who ha,s a large*
j interes# there in conversation with
! a representative of the Post-Appeal,
'said: ■'
“I am truly g!ad,foee you ven
tillatiug this money loan business,
i and have wondered why it has not
i been done sooner.”
“Well, it is pleasant to have
struck upon a topic of such vital
interest to the farming population,
j What do you thiuk of the Post-Ap
■ peal’s figures ?” ■ •
| “Winy they show just what the
i money lender fails to explain, viz:
; that when the mpfiey is bon-pwecti
! for fiVoyeurs, tire farmer paysTs
t-ore -i nf.Pi'ftnt x*t tbe Amount
; lie gets. When $l,OOO is borrowed
! and $2OO deducted therefrom as a
I commission, he still pays interest
'on $2OO that he never gets; aud
I wbrse than all,she has to pay prin
cipal and interest bn the $l,OOO,
when ihe actual money loaned is
$BOO. You see there is a trap ip
I that commission that is not gener
ally understood by men .who don’t
look into the arrangement careful
ly. Your figures in the ‘Herald of
yesterday showed plainly that the
rate of interest for the five years
was 15 per cent per annum. Now,
if farmers can borrow money at
that rate of interest, it does seem
that those of us who manage to run
our farms without borrowing at all
ought to get rich in a few years,
but we don’t do it.”
“But isu’t it possible that they
; can better afford to pay 15 per
j cent, on money than from 20 to 30
I per cent, on . provisiajisr and sup
plies bought on time ?”*
( “That depends upqn what rate
! they pay for credit. If we are for
ced to buy on credif JWfhink sup
plies can be at aborit 10
i per cent, advance otr cnfefr prices,
but if we don’t watch tlienv. the
; merchants will gobble us up as
I quick ns the money man. Besides,
j there is this difference, tliat you
(only want about nine months at
imost to pay for supplies bought on
the credit system, whereas you
have to borrow the money for the
j long term of five years ; or else
I dose tip the dou tract for the year
| with 35- per cent as your
: figures shewed. iY; itfanftrii ngifti
the fanner
j and he will by examining the con
ditions, that lie does not pay eight
! percent., but 15 percent for all the
! money lie borrows from these loan
; companies. If homun afford to piy
| it, very well; if it. ruins and de
prives him of a home, lie should
i blame himself for being so ignorant
1 and fool-hardy as to borrow money
jat a larger per ceutage than it will
' yield when applied to his farming
j operations.”
The gentleman alluded to is a
I former Representative of his coun
j ty, and a man \\;hose opinion al
i wins carries weight with it.
*-
| Possibilities of the Future.
The master, in Luther’s day, who
took off his cap to his pupils on
i entering his classroom, drew on
himself the blame of his fellow
j preceptors for his needless coude-
Iscansion. “Why you, a
learned doctor, make a salute to a
: pack of ignorant boys ? You ought
| not to lower yourself by doing any
thing of the kind.” “But,” grow up
to be learned doctors like ourselves, i
and others may become wise and
grave magistrates, or distinguished
warriors, or skillful counsellors in
affairs of State. I salute their
future, which I see lying behind
tbe round, thoughtless faces that
igreet me in the class-room.” Was
;he not light? And when standing
before the poorest audience may
not the preacher fool that a future
;of untold magnificence may be
represented there? Behind the
: faded dress, the patched coat, the
hard hands, and thin, pinched lips,
may be concealed the spirits that
shall stand arrayed in light nearest
to the throne of God.' And what
is mote, that glorious destiny for
them may depend, under God, on
the way we deal with them now.
Is it not enough to stir up our
hearts to their utmost depths so
that no persuasion may be left
unused, ))o word unuttered which
might prevail to wean them from
their sin and woo them to their
; Saviour ? When Jesus beheld the
multitudes He had compassiou on
: them. As He drew near to Jerusa
; lem, He beheld the city and wept
; over it. Everything was forgotten
but the misery of perishing. Shall
we not lay to heart the lesson of
the Redeemer’s tears; and moved
with something of like pity, strive,
toil and pray for the salvation of
souls, immortal souls ?
