Ukto l HT'Fl’s AT>DIIRS3. Mayor’s Office. ] • 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.

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 I y -bf.-;:d is Upon us, ami wo mu. ! to u:k, and ;:q to work (0-d:;y. Wo mL t i-h our bo ye. 5. p ' *ept. and example, that gr t virlu ■ot -and llu* m ' rty of “ oi.vx. a, “L r ■ /. ’ The. peoplo cm < Borgia should never F,o dependant upon any lino or qpy system uf .trauspor*a‘ion for the 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 .

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.
