J. W CHAPMAN, Proprietor.
FRIDAY, APRIL, 14 1882.
NEnnoi-mi.iftM.
One Mr. Wright, principal of a col
ored high school )n Augusta, baa re
cently publiahed in the Chronicle and
Sentinel a long letter, which has at
tracted a well deserved attention
throughout the whole country. Mr.
Wright ir an Intelligent, well educated
mao himself; and he ha* aatd more In
defense of Ids race than any "nigger”
who has yet spoken In the South.
How, or where he found the authori
ties quoted in Ills article upon the gec
blology of his race, Is matter of sur
prise to many of his readers. True,
his arguments are built Uf>oti mere
theories, which have long been known
and discussed among scientists, and
yet nothing has been definitely settled
about these same theories. Nor is H
of the least importance to humanity
whether we believe In the unity of the
human race, or whether our "brother
In black” bo capable of rising to tbs
'(lighitj of tlie proud O iucsslon. What
Mr. Wright says for hi* side Is well
saiil. He has digested his facts and
presented Utkin iu tangible form; and
w# think he deserves great credit for
the manly stand he lakes against those
early friends, whs now think it high
time to prove themselves liars and
traitors.
As tb# Springfield Republican re
marks, it is a point of great signifi
cance that the Mouth recognizes the
rights and duties of tbo colored race,
and is willing to show fair play. Mr.
Wright begins by taking Ids ancient
friends, Senators Jones and Tiller to
task for their pnblledepreciation cf his
race—they having denied in open
court, the present and future ca
pacity ef the ooiored people to stand on
equal footiug with white citizens.
And this too—a mean confession even
if it were true—after buying given the
free ballot to the nigger, and having
used him ai! these years to pull Re
publican chestnuts out of the lire. But
we of the South are not surprised by
eueU bate Ingratitude rs shown by
Jones and Tiller. The true friends of
the colored people are the white people
of the South. We know fifty years
ago that the yankees cared no more
for tb* nigger than Judas did for the
poor,upon whom lie pretended that he
would spend tho three hundred pence.
If Mr. Wright and those for whom
he speaks, will tak* some practical ad
vice, that the best that can bo giveu
them is to learn wisdom as soon as
possible. Let the colored race out
liaise from the mooring* of the radical
party once and forever, for every mao
who votes with that party, will prove
himself a traitor to the nigger when
power aud pell’ art at stake. It Is Idle
to cry out, “Kt tu Brute!” after the
bloody dagger has been thrust to the
heart.
KSrOBCEHKNT Off THE LAW.
The recent murtler of young Itoun
tree In Athens ami the scenes that fol
lowed It, areyery characteristic nfthe
mild genius of the American people.
In this case It was the nlggera w ho do
tted the law, hut only faithful Imita
tor* of their white brothers. A young
man, a student of the State University
1* slot by two niggers, and when they
are arrested and lodged In-Jail, their
friends at once arm themse.ves to the
teeth, surround the prison day and
night, walk the streets deflautly and
threaten what they will do if so and
so should hnppeu—a base, brow-beat
ing riotous Insinuation which ne
sensible law abiding cltlzeu either
predicted or feared. After the mur
dercra were arrested, the ;*oocl people
of Athens, were satisfied and content
that the law should take its course.
They were fully determined at all
hawmls to make the arrest, but
after that, lutended to do nothing
more than la see the law fully en
forces! It U true (lint,among the stu
dents of th* University there was
great excitement, but these were
u mere handfull to the
whole body of citizens who were both
üble and willing to preserve the
peace and tee the murderers protected
until the law could punish them at the
proper time. And yet with a populii
tlou of seven thousand souls and twe
organised military companies In
Athens, a few hundred niggers are
allowed to brow-beat the town, parade
the streets and defiantly threaten to
carry matters with a high baud. This
isjustwhat they did in Havanuah,
this Is what they do in most cities and
towns in the South. Hut this name
thing is also doue by the whites; and
those who would condemn lgnoraut
nigger* for lawlessness should remem
ber where they find their bad exam
ple. Two much liberty always runs In
to anarchy; and this is the curs* of
America. The people do not rever
ence th* law, nor respect Its officers;
and so long as this Is the case, the law
temporises and finally compromise
with offenders.
There is hut one remedy for this
evil—mak* the law so strong and
sure m IU swift punishment, that it
will always he obeyed Instantly, with
out party and without concessions.
What the people of Athene should
have don* was to appoiut a guard for
her Jail to protect
the prisoners from nil 1
alleged danger; and then every nigger
should have been disarmed and driven
from the Jail and the streets. If this
ordei had been treated with contempt,
then the sheriff backed by the town
authorities should have arrested the
riug leaders and lodged them in jail. 1
U.thii brought on conflict aud blood,
S en so modi th* worse for the riot
er*—the battle could uoi be fought too ,
soon-let it be at once decided wheth
er or not a few niggers can openly de
fy and spit upon the law. We are no
respecter of persons—let the same
remedy be applied to white men also,
whenever and wherever they band to
gather te break dewu and destroy tbe
only protection of civilized society.

A PHILOSOPHER
Turkics Two HoncTrsdrri and Comes
OntNecoad Best.
•’lt is all tomfoolery,’ ’ said the phi
losopher, that a man should abut his
eye* and get cheated In trading bor
ses. If he will simply tell the truth
himself, anil show the horse dealer
that he (the dealer) is worthy of trust
and cosfldence, no cheating will be
done either in fun or lu earnest.
“Gentlemen,” concluded the philoso
pher, “I know men well, and I tell
you it is necesssry to trust them with
a generous confidence, if you wish to
dive down into their hearts and find
goodness In them—for all- men how
ever bad, have a great deal of good in
them.
Here a bystander remarked that be
thought it was high time for the phi
losopher to begin t# put bis own the
ory in practice—for said he. you have
some mules that ought to be traded
before they grow older. About tbls
time Mr. Burwell Green, who had
just traded a deajl mule for a dying
horse, passed aloa < In company with
astrauger from North Carolina. The
philosopher was introduced te this
stranger at ence. They went away
together down to tbe Andrew’s grovs
where the trader held his encamp
ment. Tl so happened that dv. that
the philosopher’s wagon was in town
for corn and meat, waiting for some
credulous store keeper to begin the
credit business for the year. This was
lucky for tne philosopher, Decause his
driver and foreman (Bob Williams
and Brur Harris) wtre on the spot
with tbe mules and tlisir judgment
might be somewhat relied on. Tak.
lug them aside tbe matter said:
“Now pay attention meu; though I
never made a horse swap in my life, I
nm going to make one to-day. Keep
sober and see that I am not cheated.
Do you both watch the other man’s
beast—l’ll take care of him ”
With this precaution, tbe mules
were carried 10 tbe camp. Afu,r look
ing over the old tar-heel’s stock, the
philosopher selected a bay herse—tbe
vsry horse the deuler used for the sad
dle. “In fact,” said the trader, “that
horse belongs to my wife—l have rid
den him from North Carolina through
Georgia and I am now homeward
bound. I can’t trade tbut horse for
.your mule without consld-e-er-able
b-o-o-t.” After much beating about
the bush, tbe deuler said $35 would
keep him from being snatched bald
headed wheu he got home. Then
Bob and Brer Harris mounted the
horse by turns and rode him all sort*
ef paces, making him kick up, rear
up and jump to shew how gentle s
hors* be was. While tills wa* going
on, the philosopher observed that the
North Carolina man only walked
around th* ml* once or twice. Vi
pally he asked: “why don’t you look
In my mule’s 'mouth, ride her, exam
ine her good points and ask tne all
necessary questions to bring out the
facts about her us I have asked you
about your herse?”
"Stranger!” replied the trader—
“Us useless. I’ve got a sort of omnis
cient judgment about mules—l know
’em from (lie foundation of the world.
I rods ’em when I was a year old- I'm
satisfied, stranger—please hurry up
and get yourself In the sume condi
tion.”
By this time Bob and Brer Harris
were ready to make their report on
the horse. Taking them aside the
philosopher said: “Boys tell me the
truth." Both men said, the horse
was p-ert enough, but there was a
wabble in him somewhere, not visible
to the eye so far, but very sensible to
the rider—"and I believes,”concluded
Brer H ri4o‘dt hoss have been et he
ain't now, right smartly flioted In his
In nerds ”
Now this was either true or a vile
suspicion of the dealer's Integrity. No
philosopher can alford to be unjust, so
our nliilosopber said : "boys come to
this man’s fees and boldly speak your
inlaUs”—whloh they did —and at
which the trader laughed or seemed
to laugh nntlt tho tears atnod tn hi*
ojes. The upsliat, however, was, to
morrow at 12 o’clock tho trade should
be made or net ut oil—th* philoso
pher asking one night to sleep over
the matter. The next day at 11
o'clock precisely, he rode into town
with his mule, and as tie came In
si ht of the livery stable, he saw the
tr*der’s wagon* going out of town.
Riding then In a gallop to the stable,
he found th* trader booted and spurr
ed, ready to start home for good. “I
have concluded to Hack out," said the
trader-"! muet have $75,0r no trade.”
The philosopher said ho came pre
parer! to give the $65. but he would
give no more. “No trade, then” said
the man “I’ll carry this fine horse
back home —however,” said ho, “i’ll
take one more look at your mule.”
While the trader was riding ahead
toward Bill Smith's shop, where th*
mule waa hitched, the philosopher
walking on slowly, old Diok from
the livery stable liurrle* no from be
hind and eay; “Boss you ain’t qual
ified ter tech dat man off— dot hoss
er hls’n le hip shodded bad, but he
clean show It less he's gwine down
hill. Boe* let him alone —come roun
here and practise on us at do stable.
Mr. Wood gives a man a liven
chance—and when you learns all
bout hoss tradeu, den you can tackle
dese fellers what de truft would sker
ter death ”
Our philosopher took Dick’* advice.
He told th* North Carolina trader he
wa* off- and then the trader said h*
would taks the $65, bat only in order
to keep bis word, given tbe day be
fore. No go, though tbe trader staid
In town two hours hoping to close the
trade. We repeat most solemnly, the
philosopher took Dick’s advice—took
it gladly, cheerfully, enthusiastically.
He mourned over the depravity of the
North Carolina man. He found it
necessary to strengthen himself and
steady his nerves because of that per
fidious horse dealer--and so our phi
losopher began to prepare at once to
go for Mr.;John M. Wood at an early
day—which he did--but the story must
wait until next week.
A WILKES OOPXTY MAN IVFLOBIDA.
We find the following In the Florida
Crescent, published at Breoksville, in
that State:
CADBVILLE.
Not the least ef the many Improve
ments dally springing up around us is
Cadeville, located on# and a half miles
nerlh of Brooksville and around Capt.
Cade’s mill. Driving along tbe road
from Brooksville tb* visitor will see
piles of boards and shingles on either
side wnil* tills and blocks give evi
dence of a village in the near future.
At present tbe town consist* of a shed
three or four tents and covered wagons
with one small house for the human
inhabitants with a lot, stable and sheds
for the four-footed'settler*. Around
I be house is Capt. Cade’s young orange
grove, Just put out last summer, but
looking first rut# despite the very hot
summer last year and the present un
usually dry spring, but work will ac
eompilsh wonders, and with Joe Da
vis to do the work and “Penny” the
looking on that grove h bound t*
succeed. A quarter farther and we
come to the improvement in which we
are all most interested, namely the
mill. Long experience bas taught tbe I
Captain that to do good werk his ma
chinery must tie of the best quality,and
were the visitor will find It from the
complete portable engine with its pat
ent packing Injector and pump, lotbe
sow mill with its latest Improvement
In the carriage and head blocks, to the
Dlsslon movable toothed saw that ra
pidly makes logs into boards and scant
ling.
Looking around w* saw neither re
servoir, pump or well but soon discov
ered a long Iron pipe leading away In
to the hammock foilswing this up.th*
writer found a beautiful little stream
at the end of tbe pipe. Hero was the
solution of the pump mystery. Halite
rally drew his water out of the branch
Into hts boiler. Just beyond the
branch we discovered a very piomis-
Ing cane patch, aud learned frum the
Captain that when he moved the mill
to anew locultty, he intended turning
Uie present building Into a sugar
house.und that the onmlng crop of cane
was iutended fur seed only. Among
tbe attachment* ef the mill we noticed
a planing and matching <vachlue, com
plete blacksmith shop and machinists’
tools, and found on Inquiry that with
tbe Implements at hand they ould re
pair almost any break that did not re
quire a casting. We spent an
vary pleasantly with the Captain (and
left promising te repeat our visit at an
early day.
AS OTUXRI SU VS.
The travelling correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph writing from this
place under date of the Blh, lays: Gen
eral and Mrs Toombs have enjoyed a
long, coigeniel and happy married
life. They were married about fifty
three year* ago, when he waa nineteen
years old and she was seventeen.
They have probably oomo as near real
ising the full measure of wedded hap
piness as any couple who ewer entered
that state.
The old Methodist church building
is twine converted Into an opera house.
Its aooustic qualities will be fine, Its
arrangement convenient and the fin
ish tasty. First-class troupes come here
and aeeure good bouses, as the people
have means and culture.
Messrs. Irvin A Cullen's new brick
grist mill will soon be completed. It
will be driven by a fifty hors* power
engine, will be supplied wkh machin
ery of the lateet and moot approved
kinds, and will doubtless be • success
financially and a benefit to the city
and sourounding oountry.
The Gazette Is doing a splendid
business. It has a fine out If I,is well ed
Itrd and ably managed, and deserves
the success and apprecltion whloh it
is enjoying.
Tills’section is In a very prosperous
condition. Crops have been good for
several years. This place h*s already
reeel veil 12.500 tiales of cotton this
year and will get 500 more. I have
been told of some farming In this sec
tion which surpasses anything t have
heard of In Georgia since the war. I
met one eentleman who informed me
that he had made $25,000 in six years
oiu twenty six horse farm, or over
$4,000 a year. Another gentleman who
lives near this place bought a farm a
few yeurs sine* from General Teoraht
for $14,000 divided It up it,to email
farms aud paid for it In four year*
from the rent* alone. Still an
other gentleman has made an
average of SI,BOO per year on a two
horse farm. These are fancy figures
but they were given me by men whese
standing is a guarantee for their cor
rectness.
Some stock has been lest in (his sec
tion on account of feeding with 4am
aged ooru and It Is feared that this
evil will greatly increase later In the
teason when the weather geta hotter.
