lSeprescutat%n.
In another column we publish an article
under the head ‘The Fair of the America I 11-
stitute—Let the South he Represented.’ The
article is taken from The South a paper pub
lished in-New York and devoted to the ma
terial interests of the Southern States. We
commend it to our readers, and ask a careful
reading of the article which is here referred
to, and we hope that the earnest, thinking,
and true men of ojir Southern country will
reflect upon it, and profit by it. It points
out clearly why the South is-not more pros
perous and progressive than it is to-day. It
indicates the suicidal policy which has been
followed ever since the close ol the war, that
stolid indifference, and nonaction, which has
characterized the course of the Southern
States. If we would be successful, we must
have more enterprise, more vim, more go-
aliead-ativeness, and less of that wilful contu
macy and pull-back policy which some of our
people please to call independence. Onr
people must arouse from the lethargic situa
tion into which wo have fallen, and go to
work in earnest, if we wish to accomplish
any thing J that wil 1 benefit us. A
bright and prosperous future is before us, if
we will but make a proper use of the means
which we have at our disposal-:
But read the article we refer to and draw
your own conclusions. We hope our mer
chants and manufacturers, our miners, plan
ters, and stock-raisers, will move in the mat
ter and let the Southern States be represent
ed in the September Fair at the American
Instate. Let the commodities of the South
be exhibited to the world, let our people
turn over a new leaf, and commence with
new purposes to accomplish something that
will give a new impetus to the progress and
improvement of our sunny South.
State Credit and Ilouor.
Treasurer Jones reports that State Bonds,
issued under the provisions of the Nutting
bill, have been disposed of to the amount of
seven hundred thousand dollars, and only
fifty thousand of that amount has been sold
outside of the State, and one hundred and
fifty thousand exchanged for old bonds.
Five hundred thousand dollars worth yet
to be disposed of, and will soon be sold.
This statement is certainly gratifying tg the
citizens of our noble old State, and especial
ly so, when it is considefed that these bonds
have been sold at home, and all withiti three
months, and at a time when money matters
have been very close. It speaks well for tbe
credit of tbe State, and the honor of her peo
ple. To those wonderful wiseacres and
croakers, who could foretell last winter that
the credit of the State was ruined, it certain
ly ought to be a rebuke for their foolishness.
Those wishy-washy individuals who wanted
to accept the compromise, lest the credit of
the State should be destroyed, ought to feel
now ashamed of themselves to advise any
such a compromise of our ^people’s honor.
The credit of our State is not hurt at all by
refusing to pay Bullock’s spurious bonds.
These new bonds are good investments,
and their rapid sale speaks for the efficiency
of our Treasurer, CoL Jones, and shows that
our capitalists have an abiding faith in the
credit of the State, and the honor of the
people.
Steamer From Dublin to ]Yo. 14,
We are gratified to learn that the people
of Dublin are still moving in the matter of
navigating the Oconee to No. 14, C. R. R.—
Some three or four thousand dollas have been
raised and other steps taken toward placing
a small steamer on the river to ply between
tbese two points. We know of no more de
serving enterprise than this, and while the
Legislature is appropriating money to build
railroads, etc., this deserving and struggling
people should not be overlooked. Laurens
is one of the best counties of our grand old
commonwealth, and if she has ever asked or
received a [dollar in ‘‘.State aid,” we cannot
now call it to mind. Let her people not trust
to help, however, from the powers that be,
but with a will and determination not to be
defeated, push on the enterprise, and success
is certain. If the use of onr columns can
serve them, they have bnt to command us,
and we shall be more than, pleased to serve
them.
The mystery of the famous Goodrieh mur
der in Brooklyn, has been solved at last. The
slayer was tbe mistress of the illfated man.
Her Teal name proves to be Minnie Walltliam,
but she bad assumed the name 6f Kate Stod
dard. Tbe Poliee found in her trunk Good
rich’s rings, seals, .and pocket-book and
money, which are supposed to be tbe same
he had when he was murdered. Bhe stated
to the police that she had been living with
Charlie, as she called him, and loved him
very much. He wanted to cast her off, hut
she loved him so much she could not leave
him, she implored him on her knees to allow
her to stay with him, but he was firm, in
fact brutal in his treatment of her, and a day
was fixed for her to leave him. The day came,
and in the morning when Goodrich got np
she again begged him to let her stay. He
was angry and refused to listen to her. She
determined to kill him, and on that morning
when he went down to the beasement to light
tbe heater, she went after him, and as he
was leaning on one hand and knee, she walked
to him with a revolver in hand, and said:
“Charlie;” he looked up at her, and she shot
him three times.
Price of Hydraulic Bams.
By request we take the following from the
May number of tbe Southern Cultivator, in
regard to the price of Hydraulic Rams. Mr.
Taylor is a scientific and practical farmer,
and is Secretary of tbe State Grange of Patrons
of Husbandry:
“Will you do me the favor to ascertain of
Prof. Charbonnier, what would be the ap
proximate cost of conveyingfrater by hydraul
ic ram, from 2 springs as below, viz:
1st spuing.
Distance to same, as per surface
measurement '78 yards.
Ain't of water discharged per hoar 28 gall o n s
Fall to spring from desired point 41 feet.
2d spuing.
Distance as above 136 yards.
Am’t of water discharged per hour 24 gallo n s
Fall to spring from desired point. 37 feet.
Eden Tatloe.
Colaparchee, Ga., April, 3, 1873.”
For either spring a ram can be got for about
ten to fifteen dollars. The drive pipes should
be £ inch in diametor, and the delivery pipes
| inch. The 4 inch will cost about 16 cents
per foot; if galvanized, about 24 cts.; thef
inch pipe, 9cta. per foot, or 15 ots. if galvaniz
ed. Elbows for the first, 16 cents, and for
the second 8 cents. These may not be the
exact figures at the present time, as prices
are apt to fluctuate, but they do to base an
estimate upon.
The drive pipes should not be less than
25 feet in length, and the rams be so placed
as to act under a head of water of 8 feet for
the first spring and 7 feet for the second.
Yon can expect from the first a delivery of
3.9 gallons, and from the secon!3.42 gallons,
per hour.

festivities on tlie Ogeeehee.
Davisbobq, Ga., July 14, 1873.
Editors Herald: ■ It is an established cus
tom with the neighbors o? this vicinity, du
ring the summer to have asocial gathering and
fish frying on the banks^ of the Ogeeehee.—
The spot usually chosen for the rendezvous
of the fishermen and the spreading of the
dinner, is immediately back of the planta
tion of Mr. N. J. Newsome, a romantic and
pleasant place known as Charity Spring.—
On the lofty bank of the river the dinner is
served, beneath the shade of the kindly oaks,
that lends enchantment to the spot. Away
downtehe hill-side, a little spring boils up and
empties its pure and crystal waters into the
Ogeeehee, directly below. This is Chairity
Spring, the scene of many a gay and pleas
ant little fishing party.
At this spot, on last Saturday morning, the
neighbors might have been seen collecting,
with weil filled baskets and curious and skill-
fully arranged fishing tackle, prepared to en
joy one of those ‘regular old fashioned,' hap
py fishing parties.
The more enthusiastic fishermen, assem
bled at an early hour in the morning and
devoted themselves to the pleasant task of
“catching fish for dinner.” Your correspon
dent arrived on the fishing ground sown af
ter sun-riss, but found that there were a few
others ahead of him. Hqying secured our
horses, we were soon wading through the
miry sloughs, of the river, seeking the best
spots for catching fish. The finny tribe
seemed unreasonably perverse about taking
the tempting bait that was offered them, and
we began to entertain fears that we should
not secure many. However, we pulled out a
fine one occasionally, and then we sat in with
renewed patience and energy, ever expecting
another “bite.”
By two o’clock we started back for ‘camps,’
with a couple of veteran fishermen in whose
company we had been fishings We found
that the other sportsmen had nearly all ar
rived and the ladies were busy spreading
the table and superintending the preparing
and cooking of ‘fish.’ On turning over onr
strings to the frying department, we foun#
that we each had a pretty fair string, and
that we were each ahead of any of the other
fishermen, for which noble achievement the
ladies looked at us very sweetly, and said
some very complimentary and flattering
things. As our friend “Willie” H was
very anxious to “beat the crowd,” it is jus
tice to say that he bore off the palm -catch
ing more than any other person present.
The dinner what shall I say of it?
Well, Messrs. Editors, I can hardly do the
subject justice Oil paper—my friends will all
bear me witness that I did show my appre
ciation by practical demonstration on that
occasion. We had for dinner “everything
that was good to eat,” and a jelly and happy
crowd of good natured boys, and men, and
pretty, intelligent, and lively girls and wo
men to enjoy it.
After dinner, a pleasant social chat, then
a gay ride home. Not soon shall we forget
the good old time, the happy faces, the gay
sallies of wit, the comic speeches, and the
whole souled good nature of all. In after
years, we will remember the occasion, and
Bhall doubtless find ourselves repeating these
touching lines of Burns’:
‘•Still o’er those scenes our memory wakes,
And fondly broods with wiser care;
Time but the impression stronger makes,
As streams their channels deeper wear.”

Eetter From Calhoun.
Mobgak, Ga., July 5th, 1873.
Editors Herald: Please allow me a short
sport space to communicate to you and your
readers a few lines in regard to the health,
crop prospects, &c., of this county.
The people of Calhoun county are in very
good health at this time, especially in the
section whore your humble servant resides.
Concerning crops, oats of course will take
the lead, as they have been harvested and
some of them gone. The crop (of oats) was
very good, and came in a good time, as the
most of our planters had their corn-cribs off
from home np to the time of harvesting their
oats. But the most of them think they will
keep their cribs at home ne xt year, if sea
sons will continue. The prospect for corn
is very good where it has been cultivated,
and Ithink that has been done, except in a
few instances, pin fact, all forward com is
nearly made, in this section.
Cotton is generally looking very well, ow
ing to the backward Spring, and successive
rains, and where “General Green” has not
had possession too long. But as a general
thing the laborers have succeeded in roust
ing the “General” from his head-quarters,
and they stand to-day victorious, and if the
caterpillars do not come and destroy as they
did last year, and seasons continue, my
humble opinion is, that we will make a good
crop. Yours Truly,
Pachitla.
Wood’s Household Magazine for July is
ahead of any previous number, and when we
consider its usual standard excellence, this
is rare praise indeed. It is household, not
only in name but in character, and its table
of contents shows a wonderful adaptation of
articles to the individual members of the
family circle. “Sim’s Little Girl,” a temper
ance story by Mary Hartwell, “Weather-
tough Block,” by Karl Ease, “How the Vow
was kept,” by H. V. Osborne, “Lunatics at
Large,” by Rev. F. W. Holland, and “The
Decoration of Independence,” by J. B. Wake-
ley, D. B.. are among the more noticeable
articles. The Children's Department is crowd
ed full, and contains a poem, in baby-talk,
which without doubt, will be very accepta
ble to the little ones. The price of the mag
azine is one dollar a year. Address,

Georgia . State Grange—Onr Origin. Ob
jects, and how to organize Subordinate
'Granges.
In response to the many communications
from the farmers of this State, in regard to
the origin, objects, and necessary steps to
organization of local Granges of the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry, the following re
sume has been prepared:
The term ‘Grange’ signifies a Farm, with
all‘its appointments of building, stock, etc,;
and is derived from the Latin granum, a grain
—and its use is of Scotch origin. In the
United States, in 1866, O. H. Kelley—now
Secretary of the National Grange, Washing
ton, D. C., but then a Government clerk—
was sent to the coasts of South Carolina and,
Georgia to inquire into the status of abandon-
oned lands in those sections. His observa
tions of the chaotic condition and untold
suffering of the planters and their families in
that Heaven-forsaken country, awakened the
key-note to association among farmers; and to
day the names of those who have struck
hands, even across the “blooy chasm”—broth
ers by common weal, if not by blood—are
legion. With malice toward none, and hope
as our anchor, and faith in God our shield,
we, in the favoring winds of high heaven,
and the interests of our common brother
hood, set up our peaceful banners.
Ouu object is the protection and advance
ment of the interests of our membership—
material, educational, social, and moral. Our
agency will be found in the employment of
all honorable and legitimate means, and
which can be supplemented only by that as
sociation which, in the hands of all other
professions of our fellowmen, constitutes the
Archimedean lever of success. Our Order
seeks to cheapen the cost of living, hence
to lessen the necessity for physical toil, there
by secure to us increased opportunities of
leisure, wbieh can bedevoted to mental and
social culture. Thus does the Order seek to
elevate and dignify its votaries.
The letter of our Law of Membership re
quires that applicants for membership shall
be actual, bona fide, practical farmers. Edi
tors, who are in known sympathy with the
interests of our Order, are eligible to mem
bership free of initiation fee. Ministers of
tbe Gospel are likewise eligible, but are sub
ject to fee regulations.
The minimum number which can obtain a
charter is (9) nine males and (4) four females,
and the maximum will be allowed to apply
for same is [20] twenty males and [10] ten
females. After obtaining dispensation, the
Grange can initiate indefinitely. There is
great inducement held out to those who will
become charter members [those who apply
-for dispensations are known as charter mem
bers] from the fact that males have only [S3]
three dollars and females [50c] fifty cents to
pay as initiation fees; and besides, they do
not incur the tedium and embarrassment and
delay incident to the initiatory ceremonies
of all secret organizations, which those do
who join after organization. The fees of
those who are not charter members are [So]
five dollars for males and [$2] two dollars for
females; and four successive meetings of the
Grange are required before they can become
regular Patrons.
Having accertained that there is the requi
site number who can join, and who are will
ing to organize a Grange, let the applicants
[or one party can write for all] address our
Deputies, whose business it is to organize sub
ordinate Granges, as follows:
If applicants live in the First, Second, or
Third Congressional District, address Dr. J.
P. Stevens, Leesburg, S. IV. R. R., Ga.; if
in Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth District, address
Col. G. \V. Adams, Forsyth, Ga.; if in the
Seventh, Eighth, or Ninth District, address
Rev. C. W. Howabd, Kingston, Ga. Notify
them simply that you have the necessary
number of names for constituting a Grange,
and they will promptly visit you and organ
ize your Grange, and impart all other neces
sary information for intelligent working in
our Order. Your annual fees are but a trifle
—10 cents to National Grange, and 14 cents
to State Grange, per member. If you don’t
like us, after trying us, we will simply say to
yon, and to those who taunt ns with the” in
quiry, “IVhat can illiterate paupers do ?” as
good old Abram said to Lot, “Let there be
no strife between thee and me.”
After a- Grange has been organized, the
members must exercise, for their particular
locality, their best discretion and judgment
as to whom they will admit to membership.
You want neither doubting Thomases nor
mercenary marplots in your Grange. Far
better that no Grange should be organized, if
members do not propose to carry out the ob
jects in full faith to themselves and the mem
bers of the Order general]#; that in union
there is strength, and without it confusion
and perhaps dissolution.

Reply to Minus.
Editors Herald: I read with pleasure the
drippings of M inus, but why did he notice
sc minutely some drops, while others were
allowed to fall unnoticed. I’m fearful that
he is partial to Bethlehem, aDd perhaps
blinded by the goddess (love) of his own
section. He has not enquired of us as he
should have done. Mr. Minus, call round
and see Mr. Columbus Warthen, l\e can tell
you of the fine fish (Trout) that can be found
in Curry’s mill pond; as for pearch, Mr. M.
M. Mathis cun tell you about them. I am
willing to smoke a tine Havana with the man
that can prove that there has been as many
fish caught this year at any other mill in the
county, and by the way, the mill itself is
one of the best in the county. One mill
wright says “it’s as good, as any mill in Geor
gia.” Uncle Curry, the miller, (he is such
a nice man) can make for you a little more
flour to the bushel of wheat, and it will be
better flour. Then don’t tell me about your
XXXX’s; better send over some wheat and
try for yourself.
The crops in this section are poor; some
old farmers think, perhaps, they are poorer
than they have been for ten years. One of
the causes for the failure in the crops is
quite a number of the farmers planted rely
ing upon (the curse) day laborers, but when
they called for them, the boys were not here.
One thing we can boast of, Mr. M. E. War-
then has the best county raised hog (boar)
in the county, but he is like the day laborer,
he will not stay in one place long enough
for Mr. W. to fix hinrfor the fair.
One of our ladies has on hand the finest
assortment of domestic wines the writer ever
saw; oh! it’s like the thought of brandy and
honey, it makes my mouth water.
h Plus.
After Minus.
Editors Herald : We notice in your issue of
last week the “Drippings of 95 and 96” from
Minus, and they are, certainly, Very drippy
and somewhat sloughy. Now we don’t pro
pose to handle the drippings of Minus; we
cheerfully and readily admit our inability
to do that—who could—who would. Won
der if 95 and 96 has Minus employed to do
their dripping; if so, we congratulate them
upon obtaining so proper a medium. On
the other hand, if Minus assumes the busi
ness of bis own accord and presumption and
his labors are not cur-tail-ed by trust worthy
friends, he will find himself growing rapidly
less minus. In fact we would suggest the
propriety of the 95th and 96th, or his physi
cian prescribing an astringent, his effusions
are too voluminous; in this instance we fear
delay would be dangerous, if not fatal. The
case, in our opinion, seems to have cholera
aspects, and Minus, doubtless, is aware, tjjis
epidemicris very prevalent just now; more
over, in conjunction with this malady, Minus
seems to be afflicted with a disease preying
heavily on the brain, and being unable to
give it a more appropriate name, we will
just term it a kind of a vain ache of a vast
amount of ignorance, the symtoms being in
variably recognized by a chronic itching for
writing news-paper squibs, therefore in con
sequence of this combination off diseases
which does really look alarming, we would
advise Minus to interview his medical ad
viser oftener, be more prudent, more cour
teous, and more disoreet Alas! poor How
ard, crawl from under tbe dripping.

Notice.
B Y a recent decision of the Supreme Court,
Homesteads can be sold for debts con
tracted prior to July 21st 1868. A.l who are
troubled with such debts, come to see me
in the Court-house next door to Post Office
and I, with able assistance, will put the
strong arms of Bankruptcy around your
Homesteads which will shield them from the
Sheriff and from blood thirsty creditors.
All that about you having to pay a wagon
load of green backs to have it done, is bosh.
Bring seventy-five dollars with you to pay
the cost, which must be cosh, and I will charge
yon a living fee besides. By the Bankrupt
law you are allowed two thousand dollars
worth of real estate at gold value, one thou
sand dollars worth of personal property, ana
five hundred dollars worth of household and
kitchen furniture. The debtor is mtitled to
the above exemption against hens, J 0 ®?
ments, mortgages and debts, whet er
tracted before or since January!LLf? dol-
If he has more than thirty-five hundred dot
tara he will have to pay 60 cento on the dol
lar on debts contracted prior to the 1st day
of January, | 86 ^q BSON( Attorney at Law.
