• Macon, June 1, 1873. J
As yon are aware, tho Georgia State Agri
eultni#l Society will hold its next annual Fair
at this place, commencing on the 27th day of
October.
tmo Georgian is justly proud* of his
native State - rich in.miuerulH its it is varied in
soil-wealthy, indeed, in all that should con
stitute a people prosperous and happy: Wc
have here that diversity of production and pe
culiar adaptation of the various sections to the
different industrial pursuits which combine to
make up the natural elements sufficient ft>r an
Empire. In agriculture, as in everything else,
harmonious concert of netjon strengthens and
supports each section of the State. Lowe r
Georgia has her peculiar interest to foster and
protect and her great strength to boast of.
The same may be said of upper and middle
Georgia. T’be city of Macon occupies a grand
central position geographically, and her citi
zens have provided within her limits fair
grounds and equipments cqjml, if not superior,
to any in the United States, for the accommo
dation of visitors and for the exhibition of any
and every article which may bo brought, here
for show Tho Executive Committee and
members of the State Agricultural Society have
evinced n determination to make this next the
great Fair of the Htnte. Tho handsome anil
liberal premium list now being eircuhtfed
throughout the State speaks for itself. An ex
amination of its pages will convinco every one
that the Society means business. But the
“county displays” are looked forward to as tbo
prominent and great lending features of the
Fur, and wiil doubtless present a grand p mo
rainic view of each county and section such a*--
has never before boon witnessed by tho people
of Georgia. The purposes of thin appeal are,
th'*refore, to invite and urge every county in I
thft State, if possible to bo represented in some
way, so that we may have no blanks in the pic
ture. To do this is a plan patriotic duty; n
duty which, if zsoaloaaly performed, wiil con
duce to the prosperity and success of every
county in the State, without any regard what
ever as tv) whi h got..s the 1000 premium of
fered. This premium will, of course, go to
the county which shall famish the “hu g st and
finest display.” will bo seen by refer-'
onoe to the premium list, there are three other }
handsomo premiums to he distributed among
other counties, as follows:
A premium of "Ay;) to tho county making
the Bucoud best display.

These are among the many premiums offered
by the city of Macon, and the State Agricul
f Society, aggregal ing in all to more than
$15,000. But it is not to the valno of premi
that we took for rewards. Tho exhibition
promises nobler results than this. There will
be a {.o"eat moral infiuouce growing out of it.
The political economist will here find food for
his thoughts. The artisan will scan, with eagle
eye, the work of his peers. The thritty fanner;
tho enterprising merchant; the fowl fancier,
and the stock importer; the horticulturist—nil
will be entertained, pleased and instructed.
Hero we will learn the soprees of Supply and
demand in our own state. TTero wo will learn
where, in our own Bfiite, each end every article
is produced, raised or manufactured. Our po>i
ple will here be t ui f ,kt where, in ihuir own
oc-uutry, they may follow that pursuit best
suited to their interest and taste, without being
forced to hunt homes among strangers, as is
now too often the ease. Exhibitors from Upper
Georgia will here find a market for the “ready
sale of much, if not all of their perishable ar
ticles at full, remunerative prices. Iu addition
to all this, much general good must necessarily
grow out of these annual reunions ot so many
of lho thinking and working men and women
of the country. The spirit of State pride is
fanned into new life by these meetings, and
we forget, as it were, our individual misfor
tunes'in rejoicing ovor our mutual successes.
I.et us then devote one week in next October
to the very profitable work of meeting and dis
cussing tlie impursant agricultural and com
mercial interests of the day. Let it Ue a week
devoted to tho explosion of false theories and
and putting into practicle operation the stifo,
sound, business ideas of tlie times. Among 41
other tilings, lot us prove, by the variety and
merits of our exposition, the great and absolute
danger and folly of looking to railroads, rivers
or canals for relief from ‘‘hard times. ” Let our
Fair in October l*c the only argument adduced
by ns to prove the utter fallacy of that grand
idea, that >‘f,iUfrJtt'ns. oallod cheap transporta
tion, winch has ho suddenly become the all
nbsorbiiig theme among men in sea/eh of re
lief. For it may in time-indeed it has al
ready become a serious question with thought
ful, observing men, whether we have not now
too much trailsporfatiop. Our seeming advan
tages may sometimes become our greatest mis
fortune. That which is oftimes a convenience
is not always a bfi . Lay,. L may b -mo a vi
tal necessity for us to inquire whether or not
these immense railroad lines-traversing and
corduroying, uhh they do, our country from
mount lias to seaboard are really feeding or
nbsorbing us? That transportation which fos
ter# and encourages out improvidence while it
depletes our pockets, may bo the transporta
tion least of all others wanted in this country.
And the objections now ko strongly urged
Hgaiusfcour railroad systems might not bo - en
tirely overcome Vy these proposed water lines.
Jt is not, however, the practicability of these
grasd schemas for reducing freights that wo
noiv to consider ibr lie .aattar how
li await 4heir completion. Tho t icrgci

Merit and the bread, the hay and the fertilizers
u -ed upon (heir farms. Such a policy will
bankrupt and htarvo* out any people in tlie
world. Show me the mm with a fit smoke-*
house and awt 11 filled barn, and l will show
y *ti one who is not affect of! by low price and cot
ton or high transportation. On the oll.cr
han 1. point me t that former with a 1 m
•Hinoke-huneo aud an empty corn-crib, and 1
will show yon a miserably, poor and mistaken
wretch, whose dependent and destitue condi
tion can never bo re,-, hod by high priced cot
ton, or relieved iu any way by cheap transpor
tation. The truth is, we have been hotting
our bottom dollars so long on thiviffatal cards,
called ‘'credit/’ “cotton' and “caterpillar,’That
wo have nothing left ns but our muted and
lauds: and in seven cases out of ten of these
are pledgedfo some warehouse firm for supplies
to make this year’s crop with. And yet in the
face of all this crouching poverty and emhftr
ras-anent, we learn from t he newspapers of the
country that more land is plantetkin cotton this
year than last, or even tony year since the war.
No wonder, then, that we should bo crying out
for more transportation.
Fifteen yeai?* ago, when I first commenced
tho produce business in Macon, my little or
ders for grain and juent seldom went father
west than thojertife hills of Cherokee Georgia,
and the narrow valleys in East Tennessee. I
had time, then to write and send letters for these
supplies and wait the return of quotation# be
fore buying. I, with other merchants, pur
chased there, at our leisure, all that was neoes
sarv to supply the wants of Middle and South
western Georgia. Now we send our immense
orders by telegraphic wil%* to the rich, fields
and broad plains of Illinois and Missouri; and
if. by any chance or ill luck, a railroad bridge
is burned or a transfer boat is sunk and a lit
tle blockade occurs,on route, a panic ensues
and a meat, bread find hay famine at once thret
ens every man and beast south of Ckattanoo-.
ga. This i j oar miserably poor and helpless
condition to-day fearful and unreasonable as
it may appear to outsiders. But that annual
defiiciency of fifty millions of Irusliels of grain
in tho four States of Georgia, Alabama, Florida
and- South Carolina, commented upon so
gravely by the late Canal Convention in ‘At
lanta, tetb the whole story. AVc have sudden
ly awakened, as it were, from a deep sleep and
discovered tlie an welcomed fact that we are a
poor, thriftless nonproducing,* iill-eonsunung,
dependent people. And just so lfrng as the
farmers and planters of Georgia pursue their
present mad policy of buying fertilizers to
make cotton to buy corn, bacon and hay with,
and then pay two per cent, a month for mon
ey from April to November of each year to run
this wild schedule, just so long will they bo
pitiable beggars and borrowers at tho doors of
transportation officers and Georgia shaving
shops, prow Med a worse fate does not speedily
overtake them.
The truth is, the whole country has become
one common counting room and huge gam
bling shop. What we once did with the axe
and the hoe, the plowshare and the reaping
hook, we now seek to accomplish by strategy
and chance, credit and speculation. And we,
must, sooner or later, come back to the first
principles or we must perish. We have too
many able-bodied young men in shady places;
too much tape cutting and pin selling and too
little cotton chopping aud hav curing: too ma
ny yard sticks thrown around loose on smooth
top counters and not enough hoe-handles and
plow-stocks; too many law-books and lager beer
barrels in proportion to the rail-splitting and
ditch digging; too much foolish fashion and
foppery, and not enough sledge-hammers and
saw-horses —in a word, too much to hol&Mte idfe
hf-ss. Georgia has to-day, buried in tho rich
bosom of her varied soil and precious mineral
beds, greater wealth and grander results than
can ever be worked out by canal projects or Con
gressional enterprises. And how is it to be
done ? Not by dreamy' theories and mythical
pisns, but in talking com instead of canal—in
diversifying and developing our own vast re
sources—in writing more about homo effort and
less about foreign immigration- in planting
less cotton and manufacturing more yarns. In
this, and this only, lies the great seefiet of
“WIIAT IS IT BUT A MAP OF BUSY LIFE, ITS FLUCTUATIONS AND ITS VAST CONCERNS.”
TALBOrtON, GA., WEDNESDAY JULY 9, 1873.
Georgia success -agricultural ns well as finan
cial and commercial. We arc immensely rich
in resources but miserably poor in the handling
of them. What wo want is work -honfst, hard
fisted, intelligent, well-directed toil, labor and
application in developing and utilizing what wo
have here at homo rather than so intiny*pas
tnotic efforts to bring from abroad that w hich
we should not buy. Our poverty, like our
pride, is the result of niisapprehcnsiops and
mistaken ideas of ourselves, of our country and
of each other. The abolition of slavery in the
South has developed a. vast world of sickly,
sentimental, lazy, indolent, stupiflod, iuort and
unapt population—a population of young and
middle-aged men, Houle of whom havo seen bet
tor days. These men put ou old store clothes,
ban- around dirty, grogshops and dingy hotels,
smoke cheap Segal’S and drink mean whiskey,
Affect old habits and anti-war stylo, talk politics
a little and curse destiny and fred negroes more*
fret and fume over the result of the lato war,
write and sign up mortgage lions on their cot
ton crops before they are planted, pay two per
cent, interest qn money for nine months in the
year and then, promise to pay annually in the
full more money per acre*for commercial ma
nures to scatter over their lands than some of
them originally cost.
* And. finally, when to business
and general bad policy and mismanagement
have brought them and their State to the ex
tremity of desperation- when ruin and bank
ruptcy stare us all iu the faco we issue proc
lamations, call public meetings, invite distin
guished gentlemen from abroad to come here
ami sympathize with us. Wo meet in banquet
halls, drink much champagne and discharge
more gas over the great and absordiug ques
tions of canal schemes, Congressional aid and
ch* ip transportation than was ever expended
by our forefathers in discussing tho Declara
tion of American Independence. And what
does it ftv;tll ? Will these idle aud extravagant
demonstrations ever work out tho great prob
lem of Georgia independence ? No 1 Never un
til labor becomes popular will money get. easy.
Never, until, we feed fancy less, and learn to
fatten chickens and hogs mo A. will want dis
appear and plenty step in. When these plain
secrets or life shall have been learned, whin
tlie wild mania for speculation shall have ch
parted from our farm houses and plantations,
when our planters shall learn from experience
to Abandon Wall street brokers and “cotton
futures, ’ and come to deal more directly in tho
product ions,of square little “spots” of potatoes
and com, when agriculture shall become tho ru
ling feature uud controlling interest in our
State -then, and not until then, will we become
an independent, prosperous and happy people.
And we have hero in Georgia ull the elements
necessary to this great ■ end. Hero God Ims
blessed us with everything essential to the
prosperity and growth of man or beast if only
worked out. Hverthing, from a chicken and a
ydiurn to a cotton field and a coal bed, from a
ground pea patch on the sand hills to a gold
mine in the mountains. These are among the
iK-ii, iv . I M'.liipu and resources of Georgia:
tli. ■ cou tititle, our strength, our refuge and

arid yet wo go to Baltimore to buy guano to
iiiiAi* a little cotton to Hell in New York to got
money to buy hav, oats and corn away out in
tho rich Slates of Kentucky, ludianna, Illinois
and Missouri, And just so long as wo are the
voluntary patrons of produce dealers, heartless
rings and pampered monopolies, hucli as ifow
own and control, operate and direct out only
lines of trade and transportation north, south
and’west.just so long will ve bo tit subjects
for bond rafts and homestead laws, mortgages
and repudiation. The South must work out'
her own independence. The remedy is ours,
if we will only apply it. Too often have wo
been lx-guildo-i by plausible schemes for great
improvements and financial relief. Lotus no
longer bo lulled into a false socurity by any
promises which can be made, out side of our
harvest fields find hog pens, our hay patches
end cane mills, it is here wc shall find'it. To
this end the Bt-ate Agricultural Society throws
open tho doors of her Exposition halls, offers
her pmpinms lists to the public, and invites
competition from every section of the country.
It nifty sometimes suit the interest of small
politicians to excite sectional antagonisms in
tho State; but no such pie tty jealousy is to be
found in the heads and hearts of those engaged
in the industrial pursuits. All are expected at
the Fair in October. Macon unites with the
State Agricultural Society in a cordial invita
tion to every county in the State to be repre
sented. It will impart new life, vigor find ener
gy to every industry; it wiill disseminate knowl
edge and culture among the great masses of
the people; it will kindle a lofty emulation
among the wording classes; it will present one
vast field for testing theories and trying con
clusions; it wiltacmcnt us, as a people, in the
bonds of fraternal Union, and none should be
deterred from few of defeat for tho triumph
of one wiil be the triumph of . all, and there
will be no rejoicing over any defeat*
From the ladies wo expect much -yes, al
most everything. Without their kindly aid and
handiwork we shall have no Floral llall, and
without the pit using feature in perfecting the
Fair can never be a grand success. The good
women of mu* count ry saved us hero two years
ago without their timely efforts the hair of
1871 would have been ‘an immense failure.
Their hearty co-operation now is nil we want
to insure success.
Let us then unite in one mighty effort to
throw together, in one common display, the
grand and aggregate specimen resources of our
proud old commonwealth. Let it be such an
exposition of our pride and our strength; such
an evidence of our skill and taste, our go-,
liius and our energy, and especially of our love
for agriculture and our homos, as shall chal
lenge, in kindness, thy competition of tho
South, while it excites the envy and admira
tion of the world. W. A. ITuff,
