TO THE WHOLE PEOPLE OP VP!SO>.
It lias Ttcen decided by the people of this
County Iff convention assembled that on the !
10th Maj* instant., the voters of the county
shall meet at their respective precincts and
say by their votes wlio they desire to repre
sent. them in the State Convention to assem
ble in Atlanta in July for the purpose of
framing anew constitution. Fellow citi
zens for the sakes of the prosperity of those
who are to perpetuate your name and blood,
go the polls on that day, every man, rich
and poor, high and low, am., whether you
oppose or favor a convention go and vote
for such men as you believe to have know 1-
edge enough to make a constitution for the i
great state of Geoigia and men who are
liontst enough to carry in their hoesomsthe
good of those who send them, men that are
intelligent enough to think for themselves
and you, and firm enough to act for you
with fairness to all classes. For heavens
sake dont stay away from the polls that
day on any account, for upon your votes on
that day depends the future of Georgia.
For if you stand firmly to your posts and
get good and true men from all parts of the
Slate not one honest man in the State will
object to a change, such as they can and
will make in our fundr.nental laws. And
when the final vote in June is to bo cast
you can vote “convention” or “no conven
tion” according to the material you have
before you. You want men of tried ability
and honor, men who have experienced the
workings of the old Constitution and of the
one of 1868. And who know where to
look for the defects in both and leave them
out of the one we should and must have
in the future. Who are they ? consider well
for the sake of truth, liberty and justice.
Let not friendship or kinship or political
prejudice or religion or n.alice influence
you in this matter. Forget self and think
of neighbor. Remember the injunctions of
high heaven and provide for your house
hold in this awful crisis, when evil is so
strongly armed and equipped and arrayed
against good and have faith in the eternal
God of justice, Who says ‘My arm shall
conquer.’ Do not slumber over this matter
hut he awake to every source of informa
tion within your compass.
Col. Akin and Ex Gov. Smith show a
becoming modesty in treating of the remedies
that may be applied to the State govern
ment, in not suggesting any reform in the
department of justice and in Hie executive
department, for they arc both lawyers and
one lias been Governor and it w\.uld seem
indelicate to lead off in his department.
They leave these matters with others, will
others note the omission ?
The act calling a convention has this on
ratification or rejection.
Sec o. He it further enacted by the au
thority aforesaid—That the Constitution
adopted by the aforesaid convention, shall
fce submitted to the people of Georgia, for
ratification or rejection, and that every pus*
son entitled to vote foi members of tlie Gen
eral Assembly under the present constitu
tion and laws of the State, shall be entitled
to vote to ratify or reject said submitted
constitution.
Communicated. J
Mr. Editor: —ln compliance with the
request of many friends I w ill endeavor to
give them through your columns a sketch
of the wanderings of a party composed of
Capt. Thomas Rose, Mr. Allen J. Williams,
Judge AY, S Oliplmnt, and Dr. J. AY.
Suggs, who left Upson on the 13th, of
March tc visit and look at Florida,
According to previous arrangement the
party met at the new ferry on Flint river
near the Flint River Factory. The d,.y
was dark and rainy; rain having begun to
fall soon after we left home. AVe soon
found that our loads upon the wagons were
much heavier than they should have been
for a trip of the sort. The roads from the
river out to where we came to the pine
voods in Taylor county were badly cut up
by tlie winters hauling over them. But by
walking much of the way through the rain
and mud, by night we passed over the clay
lulls and stopped to camp in the pine w oods
6 miles this side of Butler, Camping out
was to us somewhat a novelty, but we soon
had our tent stretched which sheltered us
lrom the rain which was still falling. AVe
soon had a blazing fire of pineknots before
our tent which gave us an aspect of inde
pendence and comfort.
This being the. first night out, of course,
most of the party could not sleep. Besides
the horses were strangers to each other and
required almost constant attention to keep
them quiet. We think Dr. Suggs was the
♦>n!y one who slept as he was occasionally
heard to complain of the rest that they kept
?p so much tuss that he could not rest.
At an early hour all were in motion got*
siug ready tor the days travel. Judge OH -
pliant by common consent was made head
eook for the party, and from the way he
handled the frying pan, and dislirag. gave
evidence that he had seen service in that
line before.
March 14th, Made an early start over the
st.nsk Judge Okpliants horse haying the
distemper badly, seemed as though she
would give out, giving the horse drive'll with
her hard labor to perform with the heavy
load. But by stopping to rest several
times, she seemed to get a little better, and
the party moved on. We passed through
Busier in Uie foreman, hut made no stop.
By noon we reached the beautiful Stream
ot clear Water, in Taylor county, at which
place we fed our horses, and took dinner.
By night we wero in two miles ofEllaville,
in Schley county,.earnped on a high hill,
in an oak grove hung with the long moss
of the low country..
Mach loth, Quite cool. Made an early
start and passed through EllaviUc before
many of the villagers were out of bed.
Taking the road leading towards
we passed over the beautiful level farming
lands of Schley and Sumter couuties. The
farms along here have a thriving look; all
in good condition. The lands are not rich,
hut productive, of alight soil and very level
and the roads good, so that we made a good
drive and were in Americus some time be
foie noon; where we met some friends
among, whomjwerc Col Hawkins, Col. E.
G. Simmons and "Walter Simmons, the two
latter formerly of Upson.
r I hircy years ago in our youthful days we
were frequently nt Amerlcus, then a small
interior village having only a court-house,
a few small stores and a hotel. But a won
derful change has come ovei the quiet little
place. It lias grown to be quite a hustling
htfle city, putting on a pompous air, equal !
to almost any in our State. I can not sup- |
press the desire I have to mention the pride
exhibited in tine horses dashing about the
streets, and particulaily to mention a mag
nificent 4 horse team drawing the omnibus
between the depot and the city; for I do i
not now recollect to have ever seen a
finer or more slowy team hitched together.
From indications w e must come to the con
elusion, that there is wealth still in and
around Americas, for many of the piivate
residences are elegant.
After resting a few hours taking our noon
day lunch, doing some small shopping Ac.,
we took the road towards Florida leading
through Albany. By night we were with
in 5 miles of Stark ville the foimer county
town of Lee county. March 10th. Reach
ed Stark ville early in the forenoon. The
ground upon which the villege once stood
is -still there hut the villege is gone, or near
ly so; for the courts now held their sessions
in tlie more favored town of Leesburg on
the S. A\. If. If., and Starkville is neglect
ed, torn down, and "gone, save hut one
small store with one or two families.
1 lie large fertile farms of Lee county once
the pride ot S. AA . Georgia, are now a sad
picture to look upon, many oi them have
been abandoned by the negroes who for
merly cultivated them who have gone to
Florida to homestead the poor pine lands
there and to hunt, fish, and annoy the set
tlers there in many and various w'ays.
Many years ago I was familiar with this
country, then a beehive of industry, econ
omy, and plenty; hut now a vast waste of
idleness, unconcerned poverty, and want.
Of course we speak in general terms for
some ot the farms show signs of industry
and thrift, and why this great change m the
■ short time of ones life. And this too is
only an instance of the once opulent and
’ prosperous South.
Have we not been truant to the precious
jewel given to us by tlie Fathers of one
hundred years ago ? ’Tis too true, for in our
carelessness end indifferance we have allow
ed ourselves to be led on by a set of politi
cal demagogues ushering us piematurely in
to a fratricidal civil war; a majority of them
having no more love or lespect for their
country, than the hog has tor his owner,
"ho throws it corn from his crib. Not
tnat our cause was unjust or our grievances
light, hut that the means for their redress
were actuated by madness and folly, unpre
cedented, almost, in the history of man.
Ihe strife is past, and peace has been
bought at a great price, almost beyond coins
prehension. Hut arc we profiting in the
least by our sad experience? AVe boldly
answer no. For, in a great measure, we
are still led on and on, from ruin to degre
dation as fast as time can move, by a ring
of heartless, national thieves. Scnsiless
State demagogues, county boot licking curs,
and neighborhood parasites.
I here arc many liightoned sensible patri
ots in the land, and why can not more of
them find their wny to our legislature hulls?
So lon* as offices and liigh^positions in Slate
are filled by those who obtain their posi
tions by personal favors or personal inter
( just so long will we be in eminent,
national and gubernatorial peril.
Let him who drives the plow, let him
who wields the sledge hammer, or pushes
the jtek plain, I say, let all these sturdy la
borers pause, and think before they exer
cise the elective franchise; for upon you,
the superstructure of the govbrninant rests
and must ever rest Turn your bucks upon
dishonesty and favoritism in politics, and
seek to place such only into office that have
the habiliments of wisdom, prudence and
modeiation, and above all honesty of pur
pose.
Ltd, paidon me, for I told you that we
had strrlecl to Florida, and we must drive
° n ’ e leached Albany in the forenoon
and halted to write some hasty postals to
the loved ones at home.
Albany seems to have been finished some
\eais ago, and is, lrom what we saw, rather
on the decline. The negroes are very nu
merous, and. it vve are not mistaken, the
business of the place is largely done by
foreigners. We enquired for the road that
led to Thomasville; ciossed the river on a
toll bridge, and turned directly down the
liver. Noon brought us to the first natural
curiosity to us, that we had seen. I mean
the Blue Spring, about 4 miles below Alba*
n\, on or near the river. This is a very
large, boiling spring, rising from under a
considerable bind, furnishing water suffic
ient to run considerable machienery, and it
lias bad a grain mill within thirty feet of its
exit from the ground, but the back water,
lrom the rises in the river was so frequent
that the enterprise has been abandoned,
l'he w ater in the spring is a beautdul pale
blue, hence its name, but it has no very
perceptible disagreeable taste When night
came on we found ourselves in the level
pine lorestsof Mitchcl county, 7 miles north
of Camilla, the county site. We were
rather favorably impressed with the lauds
in Mitchcl county. It is true that they are
]><>or but free, productive, level and easy of
cultivation. The farms are mostly small,
hut have a k>ok of industry about them.
March 17th, We passed through Camilla
in the forenoon. It is a small village of
about 100 or 500 inhabitants. Rather badly
located, as a part of the public square is oc
cupied by a pond, which £ believe has been
ditched, and is now dry. We found corn
plentiful in the country, and coukl have
bought then for 6d cents, per bushel.
A bout the midd .c of the afternoon wre
leached a Mr. lloyl, tv relative ot Judge 01i
pliant, and, as we in-tended to remain there
over Sunday, we went into camp. Mr.
Hoyl was expecting us and had made ar
range incuts for our entertainment. We
thanked him but preferred to remain in
camp. Sunday the 18th—AH the party ex*
cept Dr. Suggs went t > church. The Dr.,
was suffering with a severe carbuncle, and
said he would mind the camp. After the
people came in from church. Mrs. Hovle
insisted upon us dining with her, which in
vitation was accepted, and we enjoyed a
good dinner with t lie hospitable lady. They
had been forced to leave their home in East
lennesfee at the close of the war to escape
the troubles of that ill-fated section. March
19th, We continued our journey, passing
through a poor, thinly settled country cover I
cd w nil a dense pine forest, until we reach- ‘
cd Cairo a small town on the Atlantic & j
Gulf R. R From this place we followed
the line of the It. It., towards Thomasville,
which latter place we readied about night
A\ e were somewhat disappointed in the j
lands so far seen in Tlomas county, for it
lias ever been styled one of the richest
landed counties of South Georgia. Hut the
lands on the road from Cairo to Thomas
yille are in our opinion quite poor and but
little interest seems t<> he taken in agricul
ture.
March 20th, AA'e passed through Thomas
villes early in the morning, which is a very
pretty place, with many nice residences and
several good business house*. Avery fine
hotel has been erected lately and is rather
an imposing building and would do honor
to almost any of our southern cities. The
population of Thomasville is about 4,000.
The town is said to he situated on the high
est ground between Savannah and Flint
river and is about 100 feet higher than Al
bany. Like all southern towns of any size,
we see many lazy looking darkies standing
about the streets. Passing S. E., along the
line of-tlie R ii. we now see some beautiful,
fertile farming lands, and with the former
system of labor must have produced quanti
ties of sugar and cotton.
About noon we came to Boston a small
town on the R. R. Rs citizens are mostly
engaged in the lumber business The lum
ber is cut hv steam mi lls and shipped off on
the railroad.
Here Judge Oliphant made a very lucky
horse swap, trading his sick animal, that
was nearly given out, for an excellent trave
ler, though rather thin, A small amount of
cash in boot made the swap.
From this place our course w S. E.
through the corner of Brooks county. AVe
saw several good farms and some fine hogs
and cattle, and at one farm in particular we
saw lings and cattle, that I do not think a
Kentucky farmer would he ashamed toow n.
I would be glad to give the owners name
but we neglected to hear it.
We passed the line of Florida about an
hour before sundown, aod soon made our
first camp in the state. And in my next I
will tell you something of what we saw
there. Yours truly,
Reporter.
Department of Agriculture, )
Atlanta, Ga., May 3, 1877. j
To the farmers of Georgia:
Tn view of the war in Europe, and the
probable scarcity and high prices of bread
stuffs and low price of cotton which will
prevail, I again respectfully advise tint you,
will, by every means in your power, in
crease the area planted in provision crops.
I suggest checking your fields of cotton with
corn in rows fifteen or twenty teet apart,
one hill at everv intersection.
AA ith fair seasons, this M ill very largely
increase the product of corn, without a cor
responding decrease of cotton.
I further suggest the planting of the stub
ble fields in peas so soon as the wheat and
oats shall have been harvested.
I ay special attention to the raising every
pound of pork possible. Take care of the
pigs
These suggestions are not designed to
alarm or to create a sensation. A word to
the wise is sufficient.
“A. prudent man, foreseeth the evil and
hidclh ldmself, hut the simple pass on and
are punished ”
Very respectfully, *
Thomas P. Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Mr. Editor : —l>v the action of our
county meeting on last 7 T ues(!ay, in
regard to the selection of our candi
dates for the convention we find our
selves in rather a precarious condi
tion. No instructions were given to
the managers as to who should vote
at the primary election, and now the
question is what shall he done, the
managers should unite on some plan
find let the same rule prevail at each
of the precincfs. It certainly was
understood that the meeting of last
/uesdaywas a democratic meeting
for toe purpose of devising means for
nominating democratic candidates,
and the managers will, I have no
doubt hold that that was the inten
tion of the meeting, but in order that
all may understand each ether, would
it not be well for the managers to
meet previous to the election and set
tle upon some plan as to who should
vote
/ here is another grave question
now to be considered, and that is w ho
will we nominate for our candidates.
It is said meet under the plan adopted
last Tuesday, that to secure good men
there must be harmony, and that the
democrats of the county must unite
on certain men
It takes no argument to establish
this t ulc. Shall we unite and elect
good men or shall we vote for fifteen
or twentv men and thereby elect
those we do not want. I apprehend
that there is no great amount of par
ticularity as to what a mans name is,
so he is in every way competent and
honest, these are the elements tc he
had. Then sir, I would ask can two
better men in the county be voted for
than Col. J. A. Cotton and Dr. E.
A. Flewellen, the ability of Capt. Got
ten needs no comment in Upson coun
ty. The experience of Dr. Flewel
len for the last few years makes him
one of the most suitable men in the
State to go to the convention. Then
let us unite on two good men and
elect them..other counties are sending
their best men, and by a united effort
we can do the same. No good man
wi<l enter the field as a self constitu
tional candidate for the nomination,
and hence the necessity of voters
thinking for themselves.
Respectfully,
Oxe ok the Common People.
