The flaeon Telegrsspls and the j
Ilihle in IMthlie School* act tin
Mr. Editor: I have not taken it upon n;y
s.-lf to criticise the expressed views "of your
neighbor, the Telegraph, upon the vital subject
indicated by the above caption, in any spirit of
captiousness or for the simple desire to contro
vert. On the contrary, my nature and profes
sion allow a very great latitude cf view and
practice in other-; and I -brink at the contetn
plation of a tilt with an antagonist so formida
ble in mental armor find general respectability
as are found in the editorial captains at the
head of the fortunes of the TtUyraph ; never
theless, neither the formidablencss of the lance
nor the expertness of the knights shall deter
me from one more “bout ” my way of reply.
I should be sorry to feel and know myself so
lacking in the crowning excellence of a gentle
man, much more a Christian, as is laid at my
door when so much uncharitablencsa is discov
ered in my exceptions to the position of that
journal.
Whatever is due minorities—and I concede
that majorities often owe them the very great
est respect—where, from any standpoint, have
they been known to rule by any fair means ?
What rule governs on "this side the waters” in
Church and State? Is it not the majority rule?
As in the past, so now, this is the paladium of
our liberties. Hope would be dead in the whole
land but that a majority are awakening to a
sense of the wrongs endured, and are deter
mined to re-erect in its majesty, a violated and
dethroned constitution, when the wicked hand
of an infernal minority of Garrisons, Mortons,
Stows and such like, shall be compelled to re
lax. Is there anything uncharitable in bending
every effort to be rid of this accursed minority?
Would there be uncliaritableness in keeping
such out of power? Infidelity and Catholicism
have had the liberties and conscience of the
world throttled with their cruel and mailed
hand until but recently", our fathers tied to these
shores, and England anti Germany, and more
recently, Austria and Italy’ and Spain struck
this hand hence, and are to-day standing in
the purer atmosphere of Christian liberty,
found outside cloistered walls and convents,
presided over by celibate but passion-armed
and lustfnl priests. This oppressor—this enemy
of God and man—is now a minority, the mi
nority we must not offend! must not waste
Christian charity with! Majorities govern of
rights—minorities should cheerfully submit to
share with that majority’, thankful that its pro
tections and blessings are theirs.
But to be brief, I submit that the majority
in this country is entitled to as much consider
ation as the minority’; its prejudices and its
conscience are as sacred ; and when an issue
arises involving vitalities, who shall obey' and
submit ? Verily a child can answer.
These United States are free and independ
ent, and while Church and State arc, and must
be separate, the Bible —the English Bible —was
in the hearts and houses of our fathers, and
rocked in the cradles with their children They
were, and we arc, essentially a Protestant peo
ple.
Our institutions, civil and religious, are known
unto all men ; and while our wide domain is
open to the world, are we to submit to tlie dic
tations of German and French infidelity and
Romish bigotry, with its hatred for Protest
antism and Republicanism ? Suppose these el
ements —infidelity and hatred of Protestantism
and civil liberty—were not among us, would it
enter into the mind to banish the Bible? re
fuse to tolerate and forcibly eject God Almighty
from our public schools ? Never.
If the reading of the Bible in our schools was
a question just submitted it might be open to
debate, but what are the facts: It has been
used—is a fixture—by men whose taxes have
reared the houses and paid the teachers, and
without whom the whole system would speed
ily perish. They wish the Scriptures still read,
while the few, divided into Jews, Catnolics,
etc., object. Now the question is, whose wishes
are to rule? Are the many, comprising our
brethren, to be ignored for fear of offending
some? Nay, let the offence come. It is a mat
ter for the Telegraph and others to consider:
on which side of tins question lies duty and
profit. The man cannot be lost in the journ
alist or politician.
Someone must rule in this matter; the major
ity,out of regard of its conscience, must let char
ity begin at home, and say decisively’: millions
of homes for friends and lovers of our institu
tions, but contempt and confusion to all sub
verted. What presumption! what impudence!
when these spewings of an awaking and rising
people demand this surrender of the most sa
cred treasure and privilege of a free and Pro
testant people! We receive Rome as a subject
and not as a prince and governor.
If the Telegraph was owned by Catholics its
position might be excused ; but its heart is on
the right side, and we insist that its voice be
heard clear and distinct in the tumult and strife
surrounding this great question. It is time that
not only pragmatical New Englanders should
leave the South to rule in her domestic affairs;
but also that a foreign Church, monarchical
and intolerant of spirit, with a history written
in the blood of the Huguenots and a heart still
panting for Bartholomews, had hid its head in
shame and poured out its soul in thankfulness
that the children of its victims tolerate and en
tertain them.
I cannot abate aught of wliat has been
charged upon too many of the press and poli
ticians, viz: That they were pandering to Ca
tholicism and other vices from purely pecunia
ry considerations. The journalistic field is
crowded—the number of office-seekers is legion
—money and votes must be had; therefore any
cause is espoused for pay; any enterprise
puffed from a drinking saloon to a Catholic
college, if the founders thereof do desecrate
the Sabbath shamelessly when the corner stone
is laid. Candidates head subscriptions and
play the agreeable for and with anything and
anybody. And if this country is ruined the
daily press and politicians may lift their voices
in shame and say, We did it. There are many
noble exceptions to this rule, and for many .long
y-ears the writer has reckoned the Telegraph
as a very deacon among them. So it is not
intimated that either of this class assume false
and hurtful positions from principle and choice,
but purely as a means of success—often for
bread. And yet lam exhorted to charity.

Bcxker Hill. —The centennial of this fa
mous battle of the Revolutionary- war was cel
ebrated w ith much pomp and display- on the
17th inst. Visitors from all portions of the
country were present and participated in the
exercises. Several military companies from
the South were on hand and were treated right
royally by the Bostonians. They were feasted
aud wined to snob an extent as to surprise
them. General Fitz Hugh Lee, son of Robert
E. Lee, was present, and. judging from the dis
patches, was the lion of the occasion He was
called upon repeatedly for a speech and re
sponded in a happy manner, uttering just such
sentiments as we would expect from him.
This celebration was the occasion of the ex
pression of feeling of mutual esteem and admi
ration by people of the North and South ; and
die people of the two sections, being brought
into contact, l**gin to understand and appre
ciate the positions of each other. A longstride
waf made towards bringing about that perfect
reconciliation between tun two *.c#ocs wujob

Editor Advertiser : A -the season for saving
hay will soon be at hand, and appreciating the
value of this crop, and knowing the scarcity of
stock feed in our section for several years past,
we would urge our agricultural friends to give
the subject that earnest and timely alter.', ion
that its importance demand-. Let every far
m t who owns a hoise, cow and calf be deter
ta ied to devote four or five days or more to
I ring hay this present summer, no matter how
finch it may conflict with the cotton crop or
other farm labor, as we are satisfied that farm
labor employed in any other way cannot be
made more profitable or remunerative than in
saving hay at the proper time. As there are
many ways in which an abundant supply of
good hay may be secured, no farmer, however
poor himself or his hands may be, should have
an excuse for neglecting this crop. The Ger
man millet is highly prized by those who have
tried it, yielding from 1J to 2 tons per acre on
ordinary land. It matures and is ready for
mowing in sixty days from seeding. It should
be sown broadcast at the rate of one-half of a
bushel per acre, having the land well broken
and harrowed before sowing, and covered by
barrow or heavy brush run over it. It may be
sown as late as the Ist of July, but we think it
does better sown in May. It is our opinion
that it will come into general use and take the
place, to a large extent, of the oat cron, and
become to the Georgia farmer what clover is
to Tennessee and Kentucky.
Our Georgia crab grass makes an excellent
hay and we think fully equal to the much
valued clover and Timothy of higher latitudes
when cut at the right stage and properly cured.
The best method for obtaining a crop of this
grass is to take the j lows into the wheat or oat
fields after the stock have got the gleanings,and
break with scooters close and deep, one acre to
the horse, (which will take the plow team but
one day from the regular crop) or if it be de
sirable to pasture the wheat or oat field for the
summer, any lands at rest and in cultivation
last year, if not too much exhausted, will bring
crab grass after a good breaking.
In 1871 we tested the comparative value of a
wheat and hay crop upon the same land. Af
ter taking off the wheat we treated the stubble
as above mentioned, had the grass mowed in
September, making 1J tons per acre of fine hay,
worth $20.00, against ten bushels of wheat,
$17.50, with a cost of $2.50 per acre more than
the hay.
Upon many of the farms of our county there
arc branch and creek bottoms that afford an
abundant supply of swamp grass that may be
cut and fed in a green state, as w ell as cured
into bay later in the season. All such lands
arc valuable even if not drained and cultivated
for the abundant supply of grass they afford.
They should he cleared of all brush aud timber,
well if not desirable for cultivated
crops they can be made the most profitable
lands on the farm by raising grass alone. The
writer has taken off and cured three tons of
swamp grass per acre, worth at least 50 cents
per hundred pounds, and estimating the cost
of labor and comparing it with oilier farm pro
ducts from the cultivated crops, we were forced
to admit that the former yielded the larger per
cent of clear profit. Herds grass is well adapted
to our swamp lands, grows here to perfectiou,
and equally valuable for grazing or making
hay. Every farmer W’ho has bottom lands
should procure the seed of this grass, thor
oughly prepare the land by breaking and har
rowing, sow half bushel seed per acre in March
or April, and we venture the opinion that he
can realize $30,00 per acre annually without
any labor except that of mowing and housing
the hay.
it it is not practicable or desirable to procure
hay from the native or cultured grasses, let
peas be sown this month to be cut green and
well cured for stock -feed during the winter.
The farmer who depends upon corn, fodder,
shucks, or even a good oat crop for bis stock
food during the year is neglecting better and
cheaper methods, and will not appreciate their
economical value until he tries the experiment.
It is the opinion of Northern men who have
fanned in both sections that the South pos
sesses superior advantages over the North in
the product of hay, more hay and of better
quality can be raised here ffian at the North.
We must begin agricultural reforms as condi
tions precedent to anything like permanent
prosperity in our section. We must give less
area if not attention to cotton, and raise more
food for man and beast. Our work animals
and stock generally can be kept in better con
dition and at nearly one-half the expense by
having an ample supply of good hay that cost
but a trifle to secure it. Let our farmers, dur
ing the present summer be determined to
“ make bay while the sun shines,” and we
doubt not, if the motto is reduced to practice,
there will be more sunshine about the heart in
looking upon an improved condition of his
stock during the winter, and iu not experienc
ing the mortification of buying western corn
and hay at exhorbitant prices during the spring.
R.
The Wheat Crop.
Mr. Editor : The last several numbers of the
Advertiser contained editorial notices of the
prospective yield of the wheat crop of this
county; they-were based, no doubt, upon re
ports given, and were intended to cheer. When
I read them I felt thankful that other portions
of the county were being more blessed than
this immediate section; a3 I believed from the
prospect that we could not realize more than
a half crop. It seems from information re
cently- obtained that the yield falls short of my
estimate. Messrs. Wooten & Jackson, who an
running a thrash, report that the average yield
of the twelve crops which they have threshed
will not exceed five bushels per acre—an
amount almost unpreccdently small for thi;
section. Ido not wish to obtrude advice, but
think, with the present surroundings, that it
would be good policy for those who are so for
tunate as to have a surplus not to be in a hurry
abcut selling.
I always delight to read accounts of flourish
ing prospects of crops, but believe it often does
an injury; it begets too much confidence and
stimulates a trade that is not warranted in set
tling accounts at the end of the year.
Crop prospects with us, at present, I con
sider good, but a few more days without rain
will badly damage the corn crop. Cotton will
not be materially injured for some time.

A GOOD FARM.
Mr. Editor : lam not a farmer, at least, am
not engaged to any great extent in that business.
My father was a farmer of the old stripe, and
raised all his boys on the farm. I think I can
tell a good farmer when I see his farm, and can
form a pretty good judgement of a growing
crop. A few days ago I was on the plantation
of Mrs. Hattie Jarrett. in the lower part of Mon
roe county. Her farm the present year is under
the superintendence of her son-in-law, Mr.
Frank H. Wright, late of Knoxville. Crawford
county. At his request I took a stroll over his
farm to look at his crop. My business requires
me to travel pretty extensively through the
counties of Monroe, Upson and Pike, and I am
- otosc vbptfvv of vj*e growing
crops but I mi -t -nv that Mr. Wright Las the
best crop, decidedly, I have seen during this
season. He is farming on the proper plan by
which our country can be redeemed, and made
independent and prosperous. Mr. Wright hn
not farmed any since the war. until the present
(ear, and but very little in his life, but lie has
a correct view of what a farmer ought to be,
a.ul what is required to make a successful far
mer. He set out with the determination to
make his supplies at home, and live indepen
dently of the Western markets, and be is in a
fair way of consummating his desire in that di
rection. He had cut his wheat, and will make
an ample supply for family consumption. His
oats are fine, and about ready for the scythe.
Of this crop he will make an abundance for
home use, and some to spare to his less fortu
nate neighbors. The remainder of his farm,
ome 250 to 300 acres, he has equally divided
between com and cotton, which have been well
worked, and are looking well.

Mr Editor : It is said that butter is never
seen ou tables in England and Germany. 1
cannot answer as to the truth of this, but if it
is no better than a great deed we get in Forsyth,
no wonder, i want to ask butter-makers an
explanation of the peculiar taste of so much
butter brought to this market. I eat butter in
the country and it is sweet, and some of that in
market is of the same character; but generally,
it tastes exactly like a “c-up’n” smells. Some say
lack of salt causes it; if so, I want to distribute
a sack. . Some said in the winter it w’as too
much -cotton seed; but cotton seed is no longer
used as food to any extent, and grasses are
abundant and sweet. Oh ! that this was like
wise true of all the butter offered for sale in
Forsyth.
My good friends, please send the same kind
of butter to us poor town folk that you keep
and eat at home. Butter Buyer.

It is of no use attempting to force nature.
She won’t stand it, and rebels. She must be
coaxed, as it were, not driven. For instance,in
attempting to overcome constipation or indi
gestion, violent, or what physicians call,by way
of euphony, “ heroic” treatment, is sure to de
feat the purpose in view, w hich is, or should be,
to permanently remedy the evil. The use of
drastic cathartics is especially to be depreciated,
for although the}' temporarily overcome cos
tiveness, yet the intestines are so weakened and
inflamed by them as to be rendered unfit to
perform the ejection function properly. How
much better to assist nature in such a case with
such a mild and salutary aperient as Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, which strengthens at the same
time that they relieve the bowels. Not only is
this result achieved by their use, but tlie ac
tivity of the torpid liver is restored, the stom
ach invigorated, and the entire system greatly
benefitted.
