There has been quite a liberal response to our suggestion of a monument to the Confederate dead of Carroll. We ought rather to say the suggestion voiced in the Times, of week before last; for it was not ours originally, but that of a gentleman,—a native of Car roll, well known to her people,— who feels a deep interest in what ever concerns the honor of her citi zens, and knows well the readiness with which they have responded to dvery call of patriotism from the time when Carroll was a fron tier county, an outpost of civiliza tion, up to the dark days of the last dread struggle. This gentles man not only suggested the idea of a monument, but he proposes to make a liberal subscription to a fund for its creation. A famous poet has elegantly ex** pressed in a couplet which we can not now recall, the thought that “where commerce long prevails,’ Patriotism foigcts her chivalry, Liberty neglects to guard her out posts and love of country is lost in love of gain. It is to the patriotic a melancholy feature of the present age that, in our own land at least, the heroes of mammon standout more prominently than one who leads an army to victory, or wisely governs a state. The millions of Dives arc set over against the wis dom of Solomon and outweigh it. The earth, enriched by the blood of Leonidas and his martyred Spar* tans, puts forth flowers to keep theit memory green; but, in this these flowers under the sod that she may pay tribute to commerce and offer incense to the gold of Croesus. We would lot under rate the value and importance of commerce. Wealth is desirable and the pursuit of wealth by hon est means is honoiable. But the blood of a patriot citizen is beyond price, and there is less hyperbole than truth in those grand words of Tom Moore: Oh, il there be oh this earthly sphere A boon, an offering Heaven holds dear, Tis the last libation Liberty draws From the heart that bleeds and breaks in her cause. We can not do honor to ourselyes nor better serve the State that by keep ing the lire of patriotism burning in the hearts of her children. How can we better do this, than by hon oring the memory of those who fell on the battle fields to which she—the State—called them' The doctrine of our fathers was well expressed in the couplet Stand by your country, weak or strong, Stand by your country, right or wrong. A number of gentleman,* on reading the suggestion in the Times, at once expressed their readiness to contribute to the ob ject. There were three who said, “[ will give give ten dollars,’’ one said, “1 will give twenty,’’ another, our Mayor, Hon. T. L. Long. “I will give fifty.” This will make a fair nucleus to begin with. We invite those who wish to aid in the good cause to communicate, in person or by letter, with the editor, and the response will determine whether we shall further urge the subject or not. On Tuesday next a meeting will be called to take steps in this di rection. THE JUDGES. Some of our contemporaries are discussing the present method of electing judges of the superior couits, which is by the two houses of the general assembly on joint ballot. With a view to getting thp sense of the legal fraternity of our city we called at their several offices, or caught them on the street, or under the awnings about the stores and wherever else we could Jay hands on them and hold them by the button hole long enough to get an opinion. One thing may be said about lawyers that can't be truly said of some other people. They always have an opinion and arc always ready to express it if the inducement offered is reasonably sizable. The opinions elicited by our enquiries may be sum marised as follows: In favor of appointment by the Governor by and with the con: ent <»f the Senate, 7. Col. C. P. Gordon, Sol. Gen. of the City Court alone, of the bar of Carrollton is being satisfied with the present method of appointment and, with nearly all the others, fas vors an increase of salary. E. B. Merrell, Es p, favors entrusting the appointments to the Governor, the judges of the superior court and the Attorney General, and gave some etrong reasons in favor of Ins plan. Col. G. W. Austin thinks it would work well to place the appointing power with the supreme judges, if these high dignitaries held their places by a life tenure, but under the present tenure of 8 years, he favors appointment by the Governor alone, and conffrma c * tion by the Senate. S. E. Grow would extend the term to eight years, W. W. Merrell to twelve and Oscar Reese would make it for life. AV. P. Cole also favors a longer term. It is agreed by all that the object to bo aimed at is to remove the J udiciary as far from politics as is possible without dis turbing the harmony and consis tency of our democratic govern ment. In this view of the question, which is doubtless the correct view, it seems to us that appoint - nicnt by the governor and an extension of the time to eight, ten or twelve years would be a great improvement on the present arrangement. And »ve think the salary ought not to be less than $25.00; not that a higher salary would draw abler men to the bench, but because it would be just. THE ROME AND CARROLLTON. It will be seen by our clippings printed on our 4th page that work has already been begun on the up per division of the Rome and Car roll ton railroad. Several gentle men who attended court at Buc nautili iciou nvvn, tviivviuvn gentleman of Rome, who is a large stock holder and a director of the •read, who assured them that there is no question about the road’s coming through to Carrollton un less there should arise difficulties in securing the right of way and depot gound. We apprehend no difficulty as to that. The building of this road is of such vital inter est to the people of this section that no property owner can afford to withhold such consessions as to right of way as are necessary for the use of the road. -♦ Senator Mattox is quoted as say ing that the local option bill is not intended by its advocates to prohib it themselves, “but to prohibit poor folks and negroes.” If it’ll do that, let it come. That'll take ’em all in—except a few senators, bank cashiers and editors. On Fiiday night last Pete Stamps col. was hung by a mob at Douglasville. His offence was the seduction of a white girl, 13 years old. His victim died sud denly about four o'clock on Friday morning, and is believed to have been poisoned. Stamps formerly lived in this county. Senator Mattox brings an array of figures from the office of the Collector of internal revenue to show by the number of Federal licenses issued in dry counties, tlrat prohibition does not prohibit. But neither figures cited by Mr. Mattox nor any other figures or facts, can remove the incxhorable argument of results. In the town of Franklin, for instance, for five or six years before the bar rooms were closed there was one or more homicides or attempts at homicide every year. For several years after that event, and up to the time the writer left there, there was but one difficulty that called for the interference of officers, and there was no arrest in that case.— And such is the experience of nu merous other communities—so nearly all of them, in fact—where prohibition has been put in force, that it is insulting to -the intelli gence of the people to tell them there is no virtue in prohibition.

Layton, of near Rockalo, Heard county, .?o ■.*(• I 11 bushels of wheat mid reaped 110 He has 12 acres of bottom which he planted in corn May 1 Ith and 15th, 12 inches apart in drill, rows four feet apart, and cultivated with nine furrows to the row, laving it by or. July 2nd and 3,rd. It was, in silks July 15th and is now in roasting cars, well tilled out, one and often two cars to the stalk.— He has six pigs, six or seven months old, which have run in pas ture, with but little feeding with corn, which he, thinks will weigh about 100 lbs gross, each. It ha been his practice for three years to keep his hogs penned or in pasture, and he has observed that the same feeding gives more weight to the penned hogs than to those of the same age and same stock that run the woods. You may set it down that My. Layton is not one of those farmers who bold, as some do, that it costs 25 cts to raise a pound of meat in this or any other section of Georgia. AVc want more farmers who, instead of going to the merchants for provisions, make them at home for themselves and hands, and some to sell to non producers. Negro increase in south. — Dr. R. 11. Allen, in a speech before the Presbyterian General Assem bly at Cincinnati, recently said: “At the close of- the war there were in the southern States 3,946, 000 blacks; they now number 7,000,000. Then Mississippi had 322,000 blacks—now she lias 650,000. Then, Georgia had 454,000 —now she has. 725,000. Then South Carolina had 400,000 blacks, she lias now 600,000. 500 colored babies are born every day in the United States. * * * *’ * *. The colored population doubles ev ery twenty years. The whites ev ery thirty live years. At the pres ent rate of increase, in 1985 there will be 96,000,000 of whites and 192,000,000 blacks in the United States.\ Can Dr. Allen’s figures uu uoi i cut? il bo, our uui ) js plain—colonize them by all means. But Dr. T. AV. Heopei of Selma, Ain., speaks directly to the oppo site. He says: The negroes arc rapidly dying out for several rea sons, “They are notoriously thrift less, and live in squalor, they neglect health, and when <ick will not care for one another and they have not the means to secure medi cal attention and the physicians can not ride a long ways through malarial swamps without compen sation, also infanticide is common among them.” However these tvzo statements may conflict, yet the colored population is on the in crease in this section, how rapidly we cannot tell. Senator Mattox, of the 42d, in discussing an amendment to the local option bill, is quoted as charg ing that “the motive of those who are pressing the measure forward is not to rescue Georgia but Io force this question Jmto politics," that “nearly all the advocates of the bill drink behind the door and have no idea that the law shall pro hibit them.” The country will re cognize in these profound utter ances the supreme advantage of a facility for assertion when argu ments are scarce. - ONE OF GRANT’S LETTERS. ; Ready for tne End.—The Death of Sectionalism. Mt. McGregor, N.Y., July2s. Dr. Douglas, to-day gave to the Associated Press the following re markable document, which was written by Gen. Grant, and in Dr. Douglas presence, on Thursday, July 2: I ask you not to show this to any one, unless physicans you con sult with,until the end—particularly I wait it kept from my family, if known to one man the papers will get it, and they (the family) will get it. It woflld only distress them almost beyond endurance to know it, and by reflex would distress me. I have not changed my mind ma fcrially since I wrote you before in the same strain. Now, however, 1 know that I gain strength some days, but when I do go back it is beyond where 1 started to improve. I think that the chances arc very decidedly in favor of your being able to keep me alive until a change of weather towards winter. FORSEEING CONTINGENCIES. ()f course there are contingencies that might arise at any time that may carry me off very suddenly. The most probable of these is chok- ing . Under these circumstances ’ life is not worth living. lam very I thankful [lor “thankful.’’ “glad" ‘ was written, but erased, and I “thankful” sub&tistuted) to have: been spared this long, b< cause it ' has enabled inc to practically com plete the work in which I take so | much interest. I cannot stir up strength enough to review it and j make additions and subtraction©: that would suggest themselves to me, and are not likely to suggest themselves to anyone else. Under the above circumstances I will be • happiest the most pain I cau avoid. POSSIBILITY or AN EXTRAORDINARY - CURE* If there is to be any extraordin ary cure, such as some people believe there may be, it will de velop itself. I would say, therefore, to you and your colleagues to make me as comfortable as you can. If it is within God’s providence that I should go now, lam ready to obey His call without a murmer. I should prefer going now to endu ring my present suffering for a single day without hope of recove ry. As 1 have stjMtjd, 1 am thakfid for the Providential extention of my time to enable me to continue my work. DEATH OF SECTIONALISM. lam further thankful, and in a much greater degree thankful, because it has enabled me to see for myself the happy harmony which so suddenly sprung up be tween those engaged but a few short years ago in deadly conflict. It has been an inestimable blessing to me to hear the kind expressions towards me in person from all parts of our country, from people of all nationalities, of all religions ami of no religion, of Confederates and of national troops alike, of sol diers’ organizations, of mechanics, scientific, religious and other socie ties, embracing almost every citizen in the land. They have brought joy to my heart if they have not effected a cure. So to you and your colleagues I acknowledge my in debtedness for having brought me through the valley of the shadow of death to enable me to witness these things. U. S. Grant. Mt. McGregor, N.Y. July 2. ’BS. COW JET A. Mr. Editor:—lf I can keep the hornets and the flies off of my glasses long enough to drop you a few dots 1 will try and pencil down some things; but news items are mighty scarce. The hornets seem to uaiik, whuk i uut my paper and begin to write, that 1 am setting new music to some of Col. Gaines’ sweet poems,—and they come sing ing and juning around as though they were trying to locate the key letter and give me the dominant chord. And the flies seem to think that lam in a sweet mood,’and they come around singing out their spindle tones as though they wants ed some honor in the composition. But I think they only want to suck all the sweet out of me. Now what Hies and hornets and all these other stinging insects were made for I can't imagine, unless it was to teach man that he is not master of creation. Our county is generally healthy except a few cases of dysentery and angina of the throat, and I’ve had a bad cold ever since I took it, and feel awful bad and dull. AVc arc having big meetings all around and trying to get up a re ligious steam. The religions engines haven't been lived up since hist August and there are a heap of cold wet ashes in the way. Some of the brethren and sisters have got ten ashy with each other, and don't speak often one to another, and there is no book of remembrance kept of them. The general meeting of the 4th District, AVestern Association em braces 2nd Sabbath and Friday before in August, at Macedonia, in this county. Come over with brother Barrett and we will divide and subdivide with you if there ain't plenty for us both. Our crops arc good,—the best com on up land for years.
