[ipport the republican candidates for
ice. we have every reason to be-
ove that the negro riots will con tin

f the political campaign. They are
part of the Rci ub'.ican working Cap-
tnl. But it will be well for all Dcmo-
iratic papers to expose the reasons why
here are riots and how hollow is the
patliy of Radicalism for the blacks.
Troops in the South.
As predicted, the near approach of
the various elections has' caused the
North to renew the hackneyed cry of
rebellion iu the South, and the Pres
ident has ordered troops to be station
ed at various places in the South. A
specious excuse has been giveu for
this movement by three or four out
rages committed by ruffians, bnt for
the past six months the South has
been far surpassed by the Northern
States in the nnmber of assasinatiens
and lynchings. Yet little is said about
Northern outrages. The hue arid cry
now raised against the Sonth is only
for political effect, yet we fear .it. will,
have nsufficient effect to elect a large
Radical majority to Congress. Thus,
the passage of the-'social rights bill,
so pregnant with ills to botli the
white and colored races. Cur feeling
toward the administration h,as*not
abated one iota, bnt we do say that
the ruffians who have given an. appa-
• rent excuse for further oppressions
should lie brought to speedy justice.
The evil effects of any outrage will be
reflected upon the entire community,
no mntier whut the color of the Vic
tim may be.

Our Legislat’va Nom'nacs.
"We deem it proper to say few words
concerning our nominees for the Gen
eral Assembly from this county.
Capt: W. P. Simmons has been for
many years a resident, and has always
had the respect and confidence of all
who know him. He is endowed by
nature with that sound judgement and
discretion so rare in. these days, and
is one of our most substantial citizens.
S. 33. Brown, Esq., is comparative
ly a young ruuu, and is full of zeal
and industry. He is not only -a
granger, but an extensive planter, be
sides he possesses the additional ad
vantage of bring well posted in legal
questions. F< s- two. years paf t he fil.ed !
the office of Mayor of Fort Valiev with j
credit; and he is a man: of sterling in- j
tegrity. Both of the above gentle
men are personal friends of the wri i
ter, whp knows them to be thor
oughly sound on the bond and other-
lead ing questions of the day.
Mr. John R. Wimberly is an exten _ j
sive planter, and a gentleman of edu
cation an<l-ref;pemeur. Personally we
have but a slight acquaintance with
him, but his letter of acceptance has
the ring of the true metal,—and if
elected we believe he will ever be
ionnd advancing the interests oi Geor
gia and Houston county.
The Fir. tThourand Dcl’ars-
The following extract we take from
tlie New York Independant, and com
mend to the careful consideration of
the boys and yonng men who are a-
mong our readers.
The first thousand dollars that a
young man after going out into the
world to act for himself, earns and
saves will generally settle the question
of business life with him. There may
be exceptions to this statement; yet,
for a rule, we think that it will bold
trne.
The first condition is that he actn
ally earns the thousand dollars in
qnesfi m. He does not inherit thb
stun. It does not come to him by a
streak of good lock, as the result of a
fortunate ventnre in the purchase and
sale of a hundred shares stock. It is
the fruit of personal industry. He
gives his ime iud labor for it, Whil<
he is tlins earning and saving it, he
must earn two or three, or perhaps
four times as much to pay his current
expenses. He is consequently held
sternly to the task of industry foi a
considerable period- The direct con
sequence to him is steady, continuous
.and solid, discipline iu the habits of
industry-in patient, persistent, fore-'
casting and self denying effort, break
ing np all the tendencies to indolence
and frivclty, and making an earnest
watchful economist of time. He not
only learns how to wi rk, but he also
acquires the love of work; and more
over he learns the valne of the sum.
he has thus saved ont of liis eaanings.
He has toiled for it; he has observed its
slow iiicrei sa from time to time, and
iu iris estimate it represents so many
months or years of practical labor.
His ideas of life are shaped by his
own experience. These natnraV eff -nts
of earning the first thousand dollars
we hold to bo very large benefits,
They are just the qualities of mind
and body which are most likejy to sr-
eure business success in after years.
They constitute the best practical ed
ucation which a man can lave ns a
worker in this working , world. They
are gained iu season for life’s purposes,
at the opening period, when foolish
notions are most likely to mislead an
inexperienced brain’ and when, too,
there.is a full opportunity for expan
sion and development in later years.
Men have but one life to live, and
hence, they start from opening man
hood but once. Aud the mnuner in
whieh they start, ’ the purposes they
have in view, and the habits they form
will ordinarily determ) the entire se
quel of their career on earth. To suc
ceed; men must have the elements of
successin themselves! One great rea
son why there are so many useless, in
efficient, and poverty-stricken men on
earth—or,rather,- boys seeming to be
men—consists in the simple fact that
they did not start ngb*. A promin-mt.
reason why the children of the rich so
frequently. amount to nothing may
be found in the luxury, ease and. in
dolence, which marked the commence
ment of their lives - It is the law of
God that we should be workers on
|artk;.nncl no one so well consults the
best development of his being ns when
he conforms his practice to this law.
The workers in some suitable sphere
are the only really strong men in this
old..
The Markets-
Mn. Editob.—Within a few days
just passed the price of com has ad
vanced nearly ten per cent. This is re
markable, or engbt to be, especially
as the time is at hand to gather the
plentiful crop about which so much
has been said and written. There is,
no doubt; a reason for this advance,
and there may be a large nnmber of
intelligent m-m in fbe conntry who
suspect what that reason is AH who
do not, will find it somewhat interest
ing to inquire. Knowledge gained
with an effort is worth more. If your
correspondent should profier the in
formation lie would be called a “town
farmer.”
Bacon, as well as Prof. Doraidso'n,
is on the rise, and the rapidity , of Its
ascent is almost romantic* or some
thing. Perhaps it will serve to feed
the multitudes of staid and ^radical
men who for ten years have been
building castles in the air. A “square
meal” of salt swine may.cnre some of'
them of the afflatus, and lead them to
think after all that it may be betjer to
dig dirt than to fly kites. If ft is
really and. truly ont of the question, as
some say, to raise hogs m this counts y,
a good many people wiU | do Well' lb
read np in the Mosaic law to convince
themselves that anyhow it is wrong to
eat swine flesh—and certaiuly it is at
present prices.
The cotton market for the new year
is fairly open, and buy ere are taking
readily all that is offered. Prices are
two cents lower than they were in the
corresponding day of last year, and if
any man is prepared to give a satifac-
tory reason for this he will please step
to the front. Last year the markets
advanced about three-quarters of a
cent before the middle of September,
but sustained itself at the advanced
figures only a very few. days. Buyers
declare that September .purchases al
most invariably loses them money.
What is to be the teudency of the
market all men can predict—and miss
it. .He who has the discretion to sell
near home, and the nerve to sell when
the market is strong, will not often
have reason to call himself a fool.
Everybody kfistf's this, but it seems to
