‘‘Lire It Down.”
It may lx* a strange assertion that si
lence is sometimes more eloquent than
speech. But it is true, as many a knave
knows who has gnawed for years at the
good character of others with detrac
tion’s tooth. The rat, that roots through
rotten rafters, works to sotne purpose
when it cuts its passage through to the
flour-hags; but the rat that would per
sistently try to burrow a hole through an
*on door such a rat, in the phrase of
the burnt eork Dutchman, we should say
“wass creasy shure.” As yet we have to
hear of such foolish members among the
inferior rodents; hut the superior rodents,
or two-legged rats, la-longing to the tribe
yclept Bumists these are the craziest
rats outside of Bedlam. They will gnaw,
and gnaw, knowing well that their gnaw
ing is useless; and what rouses their
wrath most of all is to see the object of
the “gnaw" perfectly silent. This thing
of gnawing at the character of others for
the sake of injuring them is the very
acme of meanness; but the sure safeguard
is silenee.
Let the detraction or slander take its
course : live it down, and you will
“heap coals of fire on your enemy's
head;” he will wince more under your
silent, contempt than if you put a poni
ard through his wretched carcass. Pub
lic men, whose good name is common
property, must sometimes refute a slan
der publicly, but as far as the generality
of persons are concerned, an upright life
is the best refutation the lying slanderer
can get. Men will pause to admire the
virtue of the silent, man; whereas, getting
in a flurry over the matter will avail
nothing, and people will have misgivings
they otherwise might never think of en
tertaining. When slander stings, the
world will admire you all the. more when
you “live it down.” But the puling
slanderer will wish you a thousand things
unsaid: the table will be turned on him,
the finger of scorn will I* pointed at him,
or, worse still, his former friends will
freeze him with their cold reserve, and
he will hide his head with shame that
is, if a spark of spirit is left in his un
manly breast. This is not drawing on
the imagination, nor coloring the matter
too highly. Everybody knows and feels
instinctively ‘the malice that underlies
detraction. The detractor himself will
despise a man who blackmails or belies
another; and yet ho will manifest this
devilish propensity in himself, ami de
stroy a neighbor’s good name in the most
polished language imaginable.- Irish
American.
A Model Farm.
Col. S. W. Baker, the editor of the
Blackshear Georgian, recently paid a vis
it to this county, and took a stroll 'over
the plantation of that model farmer and
clever gentleman, Judge J. O. Mouton,
and gives the result of his observation in
the last issue of the Georgian. He says
that "one field of seventy-five acres was
beautifully covered with oats five feet
high, and good for thirty bushels to the
acre." He continues: “It was ready
for mowing, and the Judge had a reaper
costing about one hundred and fifty dol
lars, that, while affording a pleasing ex
cursion to the driver, could cut ten acres
per day. This is not fancy fanning, but
profitable, pleasant, practicable farming.
That field will yield a larger profit and
at less outlay of money and labor, than
any seventy-five acre cotton field. Look
at the facts of this ease. The cost of
cultivation and harvesting $380.00; value
of the oats $2250.00. Clear profit sl,-
020.00. Add to this the value of that field
for pasturage, or for peas, -The peas at
a low estimate would be worth 8700.00
making a total of $2,620.00 profit from
that field, and realized too without the
hazard of those destructive ordeals that
so often attend the cotton crop.”
“Patrons of Husbandry.”
The President of the “Patrons of Hus
bannry,” in answer to an editorial‘of the
Utica Herald , opposing the Order of Pat
rons of Husbandry as wicked or tyranni
cal, says: “In our organization the dis
cussion of partisan politics is forbidden;
yet we believe that we, as men (not as
Patrons of Husbandry) should, as a duty,
scan very closely the acts of our public
servants; that we, as producers, while we
furnish food for the millions, fight our
nation’s battles, defend its liberties in
time of danger, should, of a right, have
an equal share its such in the making of
those laws by which we are governed;
that we have a right to demand that in
all things, whether politic or otherwise,
the principles of common honesty shall
not Ik' wholly ignored, and to place our
selves in a position to enforce that de
mand. We know no party; but we con
sider it the duty of all connected with us
to, outside of the Grange, see to it that
the candidates of all parties be men of
integrity, whose interest is the welfare of
the people, and not political ring-mas
ters. In the Grange, also, we are taught
to advance the interest of education. In
short, the Grange of the Patrons of Hus
bandry is for the elevation of the masses
socially, mentally, morally and financial
ly, and we hope that the press of no po
litical party will so oppose us that we
shall Is' compelled to regard them .is en
emies.”

School Commissioner’* Convention.
The call of Superintendent G. J. Orr,
for a Convention of County School Com
missioners of the State, to assemble in
Atlanta on the 25th and 26th of June,
which we publish in to-day's Banner,
will, we trust, bring out all who are con
nected with the free school system.
As remarks the Macon Telegraph, this
whole system (free schools) is still in its
infancy in Georgia, and up to the ap
pointment of Mr. Orr, had resulted in
but little practical benefit. The people
had imbibed the idea that free schools,
like the poor house, were disreputable,
and those who patronized them were re
garded in the light of mendicants. True,
within a few years past, corporation free
schools have been put in successful oper
ation in ’Savannah, and perhaps others
of our principal cities, which have been
found to work well, and, indeed, have
Ixren extensively patronized by the chil
dren of the first families. But in the
rural districts, the prejudice against these
institutions has been bitter and unrelent
ing, and though fast disappearing under
the intelligent and judicious administra
tion of Mr. Orr, there is still much op
position. Hence the importance of this
convention, made up, as it will be, of
representatives from all portions of the
State.
We are satisfied that the reports of
the various county commissioners will
show, that an enlightened and wisely
conducted system of public schools, un
der the direction of competent instruct
orif who arc themselves subjected to rig
id examinations as to fitness and qualifi
cation is the great want of the country.
The physical labor and brute strength of
thousands of illiterate white citizens, (to
say nothing of the negroes,) to be found
within the limits of the State, if supple
mented by education, and their latent
talent developed, would add immensely
to the wealth arid productive resources
of the commonwealth. The writer has
visited several of the public schools of
our own county, and can testify that the
present plan of instruction, grading, etc.,
is working the most salutary results.
The same will doubtless be the report- of
the commissioners generally. Prejudices
are giving way, and in view of the tem
porary nature of all private undertak
ings, and the necessity for permanence,
thorough organization, and independence
in pecuniary matters, without, which, ad
equate discipline and order are well nigh
impossible, the public schools of the
country here, as at the North, must, soon
become popular institutions, and dis
pense great good to the people.
“ The South will lllse Again.”
Upon a recent occasion in Washing
ton, Judge Embry, in introducing a
Southern lady to an audiance of ladies
and gentlemen, paid the following hand
some tribute to the women of the South:
“Ladies and Gentlemen : Twenty years
ago all the Southern States were repre
sented at this capital by many of the
lovliestand most accomplished ladies of
America. They were indeed the queens
of American society in the highest intcl
lectural culture, and in more than prince
ly bearing or Oriental beauty. But war,
with the devastations that follow in its
train, lias, for more than a decade, swept
with relentless fury over all the fair and
fruitful fields of the South. It has deso
lated countless happy homes, curbed
many noble ambitions, crushed many
bright hopes and anticipations, reduced
to poverty and want, thousands reared
in affluence and wealth, and Inis hung
the symbols of mourning throughout all
the borders of that sunny land. This will
not last always. Such a land, with such
a soil and climate, and, above all, such a
race of people, were not destined by God
and nature to utter ruin.
“Her stricken and wasted fields will
ripen again with their golden harvests
and her gardens will send the fragrance
of their flowers over all the land. She
will rise from her sorrow and humiliation,
from her poverty and her ashes, because
her very tushes will enrich her.” .
No Kscape for the Debtor.
The Meriwether Vindicator publishes
the following letter from Gov. Smith, in
regard to the effect of the late decision
of the Supreme Court on the Homestead
laws of Georgia :
Executive Department, )
State of Georgia, June 2d, 1873. )
Messrs. D. A. Woodall, W. A. Florence
and other Citizens of Meriwether Cos., Ga.,
Gentlemen : I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your petition of
the 16th ult,., asking me to “use mv in
fluence and authority in behalf of the
people of this State in staying the law
recently opened by the decision of the
United States Supreme Court.” Other
eommuftioations have reached me from
different-parts of the State on this sub
ject; and it is manifest that the decision
referred to is producing great confusion
and distress among our people. The
judgment pronounced by the Supreme
Court of the Federal Government may
have the effect to enable a few persons
to collect debts which they otherwise
could not have done; but the general ef
fect- of this judgment will probably be—
without aiding the creditor class mate
rially—to injure, and in many cases, to
utterly ruin persons belonging to the
debtor class. But neither the Governor
of Georgia nor the Legislature, nor both
combined, have any power in the prem
ises. Regretting sincerely the distress
which a large portion of our people are
how enduring, and trusting that they
will go forward with patience, and will
not allow themselves to la' disheartened
by what has occurred,
I remain, with great respect, your fel
low-citizen and obedient servant,
James E. Smith.

Convention of County School Com *
miaaionera.
T)epaet*ent of Educatjoh, 7
Atlanta, Ga., June 10, 1872. )
After consultation with his Excellency
the Governor, I hereby call a convention
of the County School Commissioners of
this State, to be held in this city on the
25tli and 2Gth days of this month.
The objects of the convention are to
awaken interest in the public schools, to
promote uniformity in the practical work
ings of the system, to secure a better
understanding of its details and to gain
fuller information as to the status of
school affairs throughout the entile
State.
Through the kindness of the citizens
of Atlanta, arrangements have already
been made for entertaining one hundred
of the mem tiers, free of charge, and Ifeel
safe in saying, from efforts which I am
now making, that I shall succeed in pro
viding fcjr the remaining forty in the
same way.
The following railroad companies have
shovel their public spirit by granting a
free return to all members who pay full
fare in coming, viz: The Western and
Atlantic, the Atlanta and Richmond Air-
Line, the Central and its connections,
including the Mac on and Western and
the South Western and its branches, the
Georgia, the Rome, the Cherokee, the
Atlantic and Gulf, the Macon and Bruns
wick and the Atlanta and West Point.
In order to relieve the members as
nearly as possible from all eipense, T
hereby instruct the several County Boards
of Education to consider the three or
four days s|>ciit in the convention and in
coming and returning, as days devoted
to official duty, allowing the commission
ers the usual per diem, inasmuch as I
feel assured that this time wisely spent
will result in more solid good than the
same number of days occupied with any
of the regular labors.
The chief executive officers of systems
in cities and counties, established under
special laws, are also invited to attend.
Members, on coming into the city, will
be met at the trains and shown to their
homes by myself and assistants. That
they may be identified, I request the m to
wear, each, a red ribbon tied in the lapel
of his coat. Myself and assistants will
wear blue ribbons tied in the same man
ner.
Lot all come that we may consult the
great, interests which we represent.
All the papers of the Stats* are re
quested to copy this, as they will thereby
render important public service.

State School Commissioner.
How “ Greenback” Caper ia Made.
All the paper for the mercy issued by
the government is manufactured on a
sixty-two-inch Fourdrinier machine, at
the Glen Mills, near West Chester, Penn
sylvania. Short pieces of red silk an 1
mixed with the pulp in the engine, and
the finished stuff is conducted to the
wire without passing through any
screens, which might retain the silk
threads. By an arrangement above the
wire cloth a shower of fine blue silk
thread is dropped in streaks upon the
paper while it is forming. The upper
side, on which the blue silk is dropped,
is the one used for the face of the notes,
andfrom the manner in which the threads
arc applied must show them more dis
tinctly than the lower or reversed side,
although they are embedded deeply
enough to remain fixed. The mill is
guarded by officers niglit and day, to
prevent the abstraction of any paper.”
■ •
A scheme is now on foot to run a tun
nel through the Kooky Mountains. This
may seem a prodigious enterprise at first
to the casual reader, but the parties who
have the matter in hand are sanguine of
the most complete success. The idea is
to tunnel the mountains from a point
about one mile lielow Black Hawk to the
Middle Park, running in a northwesterly
direction. The tunnel to be run will, it
is presumed, cut many rich veins of gold
and silver, and thus a great mining in
terest bedeveloped. Money for the pros
ecution of the work is furnished by Eng
lish capitalists, who are confident of the
ultimate success of the enterprise. Some
idea of the magnitude of the task may
be gathered from the fact that the tun
nel, if completed, will be twelve miles in
length. It is intended to make it large
enough to lx? used for railroad purposes,
and so, if a road is ever to be construct
ed to the Middle Park, it will find its
most convenient route through the tun
nel . It will lie called the Sierra Madre
Tunnel Company, and the incorporation
papers for its organization have already
been filed. - Savannah Advertiser.
