THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON, FRIDAT, NOVEMBER 2G, 1809.
A N*vr Importation.—Up North they have a
fashion of heating the ballot by taking away
from! the people of a city or town, who don’t
vote right, the power of electing their own rul
ers. They call them commissions. Heretofore
our good friends from that section, who have
come down here to show us all the latesc im
provements in tho art of government, have not
done much in that line, and we were fondly
hoping to escape it entirely. It seems, how
ever, that a stubborn Democratic majority of
some thousand or more in Mobile has started
the commission idea over in tho Alabama Leg
islature, and a bill has been presented in that
body to have a commission for Mobile, com
posed, of course, of Badicals. We suppose it
will go through, and that foolish majority be
thus set at naught. If, however, its projectors
read tho papers they will see how the mill is
going to grind in New York, where a Demo
cratic majority has been secured in tho Legis
lature. Wo charge them nothing for tho refer-
Resumption op Specie Payments.—A Wash
ington special of the 19th to tho Herald says
that somo of tho Western Congressmen who
have been there announced themselves boldly in
favor of resuming specie payments. General
Garfield, of Ohio, who is chairman of the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, says if tho
present Congress had any spunkAhey would
say, “Well, we are in power for at least a year
and a half.- Daring that time we will provide
for resuming specie payments, and thus put
tho business of tho country on a stable basis.
We may hot bo sent back—probably wo will
not—but we will immolate onrselves for the
country’s good.”
A Notable Golden Wedding.—A golden
wedding of more than nsual interest was cele
brated in Baltimore on the IGth instant. The
parties were the Hon. Bevordy Johnson, who
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his mar
riage with Mrs. Johnson, a daughter of the late
ex-Govemor Robert Bowie, who filled the Ex
ecutive Chair of Maryland in 1803 and 1811.
Mr. Johnson is in his seventy-fourth year, and
Mrs. Johnson in tho sixty-seventh year of her age.
They have ten children living, thirty-four grand
children, four of whom are children of a daugh
ter deceased, and three great-grand-children.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson lost several children in
early life. ’ _•
TheMayoraltyof Atlanta.—Tho Democrats
of Atlanta are rather in what is vulgarly called
a stow with regard to who shall be Mayor. Dr.
Jas. F. Alexander holds that he has received
the nomination, and so declines -to withdraw,
while tho Constitution insists very suavely that
he has not, and that he, as well as ail other can
didates now in the field, must get out -of the
way or bring defeat on the party. Wo hope
they may harmonize, and thus prevent the
election of a Radical. The latter party are ip
high feather over Democratic discord, and
already propose to put William Markham in.
Athens Ahead.—“ King Hans”—whoso “wife
and six children” live in Athens, if anywhere—
writes from Macon to the Atlanta Constitution,
that, at tho recent Fair, Athens was decidedly
ahead of all other places in point of the loveli
ness of its female representatives. As he ac
knowledges .*-• never to have seen so many wo
men (nor so much of them)un his life before,"
we suppose he may be set down as having a
right to speak critically. If both of us, and a
certain representative of Macon live, say six
teen years, we propose to have him enter up
judgment then in Macon’s favor.
The Gold Gambler’s CoNsriKAcr.—Tho New
York Sun, of Saturday, says that the investiga
tion of the Wall street gold conspiracy by the
Grand Jury has been concluded, and will in all
probability end in smoke. The evidence has
been contradictory. The Grand Jurors have
patiently heard it all, and now that the testimo-
•ny is all in, they have drawn up a report and
indicted nol««ly. Neither Corbin nor Fisk ever
appeared before them, and unkind rumor has
it that only those friendly to the oliquo were
examined.
The New Circuit Judges.—The appointment
pf tho now batch of Circuit Judges, created by
act of the last Congress, is creating groat inter
est among tho hungry of the dominant party.
Among tho names most prominent are the Dre-
sent Attorney General Hoar, ox-Senator L. S.
Foster, ex-Judgo Woodruff, of New York city,
Horace Maynard, and Durant, of Louisiana—
a queer lot, especially Maynard. .
A foolish man named Wolf<£living out in St.
Louis, and holding tho position of Jndge, has
sued tho St, Louis Times for libel, with $25,000
damages, for saying ho was not competent to
fill the office. He will probably get twenty-five
cents. Tho jury will take the view that if ho
was competent ho would never have noticed the
matter.
“Conservative Views.”—Wo beg to
knowledge tho receipt, from tho anthor, Mr. J.
A. Stewart, of Rome, of a copy of a pamphlet
bearing the above title, and the farther- one of
“Tho Government of tho United States—What
is it ?” The subject is a vast one, and we mnst
take timo before answering Mr. S.’s question.
a
The New York Sun tells a story of a man who
was too lazy to say his prayers. Ho wrote out
his devotions on foolscap, however, and tied
them to the foot of his conch. Before retiring
ho wonld hold them up to heaven and exclaim,
“them’s my sentiments,” and jump into bed.
The Charlestonians propose qnito an impos
ing show on the Cth proximo, npon the occas
ion of tho opening of their Academy of Mnsic
—not “Opera-House.” W. Gilmore Sims has
written a poem and Manager Ford, of Balti
more, will see that the scene shifting is all an
fait.
Col. Wm. 0. Girardeau.—A letter from our
correspondent in Monticello, Jefferson county,
Florida, annonnees the death of CoL W. C. Girar
deau, late editor of the Jefferson Gazette in
that city. He died on Sunday night, of pneu
monia, universally lamented.
What We Propose.
The circulation of tho Telegraph and Mes
senger is more engrossing, in rospect to its ap
propriate sphere, probably, than that of any
other paper in the United States. This circu
lation (we speak particularly of the Daily) com
prehends some forty or fifty counties in Middle,
Southern, and Southwestern and Western Geor
gia and Eastern Alabama—in short, that region
of country which it can supply with the earliest
telegraphic news, or as early as can bo had from
any other source.
In this vast region of country tho paper is
almost universally read by the people, and as a
medium of communication, whether of busi
ness interest or thought, intelligence and opin
ion, is without a rival. Giving any reasonable
average of readers to each copy, it daily ad
dresses a great many thousands of people, and
presents to the intelligent and patriotic mind of
Georgia a grand moral leverage in the groat
work of improvement and pre grass which it is
difficult to overvalue.
Addressing daily so vast an audience of di
verse views and opinions, we propose, as here
tofore, to give a wide latitude to the discussions
of contributors. We shall not hold tho Tele
graph and Messenger responsible for anything
which docs not appear as editorial matter, ex
cept for a general propriety of tone and temper
in discussion. All who have anything in tho
way of advice, information or instruction, with
in the appropriate sphere of a daily paper, are
welcome to our columns within the ordinary
conditions of editorial surveillance, which shall
bo liberally enforced with a view to encourage
contribution and discussion.
While, ns ever, wo shall hold and express very
decided views of our own on all subjects, our
readers shall have space, if they desire, to ex
plain and enforce opposing opinions. This
coarse will better elucidate truth, give variety
and interest to tho paper, and allow a general
hearing and free discussion.
We propose to be liberal, tolerant and good
natnred. Some confonnd the zealous advocacy
of doctrines and opinions with violent and acri
monious language. We shall at least try to
show how to be decisive and yot generally im
personal—how to be strong in the expression
of our own views, without being violent, abu
sive and acrimonious towards those holding
different opinions. We shall stndy thoso things
which make for peace and social and political
harmony. We shall stir no no needless fends
or exacerbations—we shall tread on nobody’s
toes gratuitously, while nobody shall doubt tho
views and feelings of the Telegraph and
Messenger upon any subj ect of popnlar interest
and importance.
Bnt as politics, in the present chaotic and
inchoate condition, can promise us very little
in any possible aspect of the case, we shall de
vote ourselves more heartily and especially to
thoso great subjects of thought and intelligence
which more immediately concern the physical,
moral and social well-being of Georgia and the
South. Hero is a vast field for stndy, investi
gation and discussion, and, in all human proba
bility, through this field lies our most direct
route to any practical restoration of the ancient
liberties of tho people. Our social and indus
trial condition still needs the hand of recon
struction. Oar popnlar educational edifice is
not yet commenced os to its foundation. Oar
agriculture opens a vast expanse for investiga
tion, knowledge and improvement. Onr in
ternal police system is radically defective. It
affords no adequate protection to property—no
efficient defence of public order.
These and other topics spread ont to the
newspaper press and the intelligent mind of
Georgia a vast field for investigation, to which
we propose earnestly to -devote ourselves and
unite the intelligent mind of Georgia and the
Sonth, more especially, until such timo as we
consider political questions on the basis of
sonnd constitutional theory, and not wholly
with reference to the abuses and heresies with
which busy and reckless Radicalism has encum
bered a free government. As nutters stand,
we have left to us only a choice of tracks upon
tho wrong rc$d, and that is sufficiently doubt
ful Only until we get back within tho hp-
wledged domain of constitutional law, c*tn
we even pretend to define onr actual position,
or shape our oonrse by the plainest principles
of law and free republican government.
Doctors Differ.
That venerable knight of the quill, Solon
Robinson, who was here representing the New
York Tribune at the State Fair, in bis telegrams
to the TribmW, Suffered his spirits to be effected
by the weather. Says he on Thursday:
The morning opened fair, but the day has
been exceedingly chilly, rendering the nse of
overcoats and shawls a necessity. There is an
other immense crowd to-day, and thousands of
elegantly dressed ladies attest the fact that,
with a great cotton crop, Sonthem poverty has
given place to Sonthem extravagance. The
Fair is a pecuniary success, bnt as an exhibi
tion it is a failure, and confusion still reigns
preeminent. Notwithstanding tho resolves of
the Executive Conm itteo, liorso racing is tho
rnling sentiment of the masses; and whisky is
more plentiful than food, bat the American flag
does not wave. The Rev. David Wills was to
have delivered a Thanksgiving sermon from the
grand stand, which wonld have been excellent,
I know, bnt horse racing and horse company
nc * prevented, fbr-Hfe reason that the people wanted
something to amnse them, in the absenco of ob
jects of interest to look at. There was a
marked contrast in the speeches of Wade
Hampton and Commissioner Capron, yester
day; the former complained of Yankee wrongs
and devastations, while the latter, as will be
seen, showed the importance of improving
wom-ont lands. To-morrow there will be a
grand “tournament,” which will not teach agri
cultural improvement.
And again:
Macon, Oa., November 19.—“This is un
lucky Friday.” Ten thousand people' assem
bled in tho amphitheater, patiently waiting for
tho grand tournament, are caught in a shower;
thousands of fine dresses have been spoiled,
health has been endangered, and the people
disappointed and dissatisfied at tho two honrs’
delay. The audience stampeded when tho rain
camo, and less talk and ceremony would have
saved much misery. Will these peoplo ever
learn the valae of time ? The rain continues,
flooding the whole Fair Ground.
Now, npon the matter of whisky drinking,
the small amonnt of inebriation witnessed in
the vast crowd was the first topio of remark by
numerous Northom gentlemen who conversed
with us about the Fair. They all voluntarily
declared that a far greater amonnt of rowdyism
and drunkenness wonld have been visible in any
Northern crowd of' similar size npon such an
last, 8,103 bales of cotton, with a total weight
Of 3,710,294 pounds, and valued at $904,453 75,
were shipped to foreign ports from Savannah.
On tho same day 2,209 bales were shipped to
domestic ports.
The Knoxvillo Press and Herald says the
value of tho Coal Creek coal shipped from that
county, is greater than that of all the other
commodities shipped from the county. Thirty
and forty cars go ont every day to be loaded.
The qnestion of excluding the Bible from the
public schools in Pennsylvania is being agitatod
in the newspapers—which proves that, the
newspapers there are hard up for a subject.
The profits of the lottery business in New
Yorkmustbe immense. Tho internal rovenne
people say that Ben Wood has made $2,000,000
on which he has paid no lax.
Registration in Columbus has closed with
.777 whites and 159 blacks—which result Wen
dell Phillips would doubtless consider very dis
gusting.
Specie Payments.
. If we may credit theNorthem prints, a strong
movement is on foot to press an immediate re
sumption of specie payments upon Congress.
A caucus of leading Radical politicians, includ
ing some members of the Cabinet, are si.iu to
have declared for it, and Garfield, of Ohio,'
Chairman of the House Committee on Banking
and Currency, is outspoken in favor of the move
ment ,
It is scarcely possible that so bare-brained an
experiment will bo seriously attempted; but it
is like the story of the wise men of Gotham, it'
will be brief enough for want of all the plain
conditions of success. We predict that it must
result in the almost universal bankruptcy of tho
business classes, and another suspension in the
conrse of a few months, which would bo indefi
nitely prolonged on the principle that a “burnt
child dreads the fire.”
Unquestionably a great deal of the noise now
employed in hounding on this desperate exper
iment, comes from a class of men who think
they have everything to gain from a condition
of universal depression and disorder. They
are tho bondholders—the money ring—who ex
pect to double their piles by a general depreci
ation of at least fifty per cent, in the valuo of
property. It is a bold operation. It precipi
tates at once whatshonldbe the work of at least
half a generation, and, in substantial effect, rc-
opens the money harvest of war. Granting
that the experiment of resumption is, as it must
needs be, a terrible failure, these money chan
gers will be slower than they ever have been, if,
in tho general distress and confusion, they have
not increased their piles a hundred per cent., or
turned them into real estate bought at a song.
Meanwhile the mere effort to press resump
tion, unless foiled by signal majorities, will
create great uneasiness and alarm in all legiti
mate business circles. It will cripple tho pro
gress of internal improvements and fetter en
terprise almost universally. Investments are
now large, and busines adventures bold, sim
ply because money is depreciated and of un
certain value. It is b’ghtly esteemed and easily
parted with for any promising risk. Change its
character, but for a brief space, and make it
available to secure the precious metals at par,
and yon at once revolutionize the whole charac
ter of trade.
There are few men who do not part with tho
greenback and fractional currency with far
groater freedom than thoy would pny out specie.
Any body can verify this truth by an appeal to
himself, and he can reasonably conclude on tho
universality of a rule from its personal appli
cation.
Tho revulsion will therefore bo sweeping not
only in respect to comparative values, but also
in the whole character of trade. The experi
ment, if attempted, will produce a universal
paralysis, to be followed by chaos in trado and
then by another suspension which will set back
final resumption for an indefinite period.
Tho 4'ost of f > rOnluetng Cotton.
Laurens Hill, Ga., November 18, 1869.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : In yonr
issue of last week, I swathe following calcula
tion upon “ the actual cost of cotton,’’ copied
from the Cuthbert Appeal The writer makes
20 cents the actual cost, taking 40 acres of land
that will make a bale to three acres, and 10
bushels com per acre as a basis, ho proceeds as
follows:
GJ bales of cotton at 20 cents $G40 00
200 bushels com at $1 00 200 00
Total yield $840 00
From this must now be deducted expenses of
cultivation, ns follows:
Bacon for two hands-, four pounds
per week, 420 pounds at 20 cents $ S4 00
Meal, 2G bushels, at $1..... 2G 00
'Wages at $20 per month 240 00
150 bushels com for mule, at $1 150 00
Three plowa and blaoksmith work 15 00
Repairs of wagons, cto 15 00
Rent in cotton, third of $G40 00 213 33
Rent in com 70 00
Incidentals -. 10 00
A Bio Day’s Work in Cotton.—On Saturday oocaBion ' 1110 w” 1 ® 1 was upon the Fair
Grounds during the greater part of Thursday,
and did not see any whisky ora single drunken
man.
Gen. Wade Hampton, in his speech, made no
complaints abont the devatations of war. He
speaks of thorn merely as facts snd conditions
from which to estimate tho recuperative ener
gies of the people. And as to the exhibition
“failure,'’ CoL Knox told ns it was a better and
moro extensive exhibition than was displayed
at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a fow weeks ago.
With fair, bright weathor we think there could
have been little or no dissatisfaction all round.
Solon would have taken a brighter view of
things and sent moro kindly dispatches to the
Tribnno.
Upon the matter of the flag wo shall let tho
correspondence upon the subject speak for it
self. We understand the society has never dis
played any other than its own flag since its or
ganization, which anti-dated the war many
years.
Wheat has been sold as low as thirty cents a
bushel, this fall, in Iowa. The average price is
fifty cents.
The Fair in Savannah.
Wo aid our friend of the Republican in his
appeals to the interior to locate the State Fair
at Savannah, by copying his second article in
extenso. We see no better reason why the Fair
should not go there than the fact that tho agri
cultural and mineral resources of Georgia are
so far off. If he will suggest to move a little
further, and take the display on to Phila
delphia or New York, he will find in either place
more houses and better hotel accommodations
than he can find in Savannah.
Furthermore, although wo would not dispar
age Savannah, there are probably a still greater
number of “administrative minds” in either
place than in the Forest City.
It is these “administrative minds" which seem
to captivate the Republican ; and, truly, one
may say, to the credit of Savannah, that these
administrative minds have often been displayed,
in tho composition of a cocktail and tho proper
service of a brace of wild ducks, as well os in
the sharper and Jess agreeable operations of
trade.
It will, doubtless, becomo a serious question
with the Executive Committee whether they
ought to move tho Fair to the only place i»tho
State which produoes these “administrative
minds” at the expense of moving the hogs and
bullocks, goats, ploughs, harrows and steam
engines, to a greater distance; or whether it
may not bo better to movo the ,l adminis'trative
minds." It is a question of tho Mountain to
Mahomet or Mahomet to tho Mountain. It is tho
weight of the “administrative minds” against
that of tho bqllg find jackasses of the Fair, and
Vico Versa—wiii&h may be the less ponderous
and the more portable.
The Executive Committee must consider this
point with great care and deliberation; and tho
case seems to be plain—if they can’t movo the
“administrative minds" thoy mnst move tho
exhibits. It won’t do to attempt to travel fur
ther without these “administrativeminds;” and
since tho tip-country don’t produce them wo
mnst go to where thoy aro, if they refuse to
come. If they won’t come to m, we must go
to them. Tho sooner we can get tho benefit of
these “administrative minds," tho better. As
old Tooke used'to say, “there’s no fun in
being a damn fool;” and that seems to be the
case with ns all in the up-country, or the Re
publican is mistaken. Gentlemen of tho Com
mittee, we suggest that one hundred “adminis
trative minds” bo ordered from Savannnh,
through the Republican office, by way of a be
ginning. , .
Total ......... $823 33
This amount, $823^33, taken from the gross
profits, leaves a balance to the farmer of $1G G7,
which would bo moro than consumed by the cost
of bagging and ties. elo. This calculation is
somowhat discouraging to tenants, and as these
aro times we all want to know exactly what we
aro doing, I propose to make figures with tho
Cuthbert Appeal, and seo if we can’t make a
small profit on cotton at 20 cents per pound;
wo will take his prices throughout, but will use
less bacon and corn in feeding, and add an item
or two to tho total yield, which he has omitted.
Or.
6{j bales Cotton at 20 cents $(>GG GG
200 bushels corn at $1 200 00
270 bushels cotton seed at 20 cents per

Rent in com, third of 200 bushels.....>. 70 00
Rent in fodder, third of $40 13 00
Incilentals 10 00
Total $769 22
This amount of $709 22, taken from the
gross profits $973 66, leaves a balance to the
farmer of $204 44 above the cost of produc
tion—take $204 44 from $7G9 22 and wo have
$5G4 78 the actual cost of C.j bales cotton on
rented land, which is a small fraction less than
17 cents per pound; take off the rent for corn,
fodder and cotton, which is $305 22, and then
take this last amount from $769 22 and it leaves
$454 00 the actual cost of 6§ bales without
rent, which is 8 small fraction less than 14 cents
per pound. Therefore wo conclude that all abovo
17 cents is clear profit on rented land when tho
third is given for rent; and all above 14c. clear
profit when there is no rent to pay. With these
figures before ns, we maintain that so far from
20 cents being tho actual cost of cotton, that it
will pay twenty per cent, npon the capita) in
vested to make it on rented land, and nearly
fifty per cent on land witkont rent. These fig
ures aro based upon tho prices of labor and pro
visions as stated by the Cuthbert Appeal, and
on land that makes a balo to three acres and ten
bushels of corn per acre; and yet, with the
same data precisely, we differ in our figures.
I would haye put the price of labor a little
higher and corn at $1 50 per bushel, but the
result wculd not have been materially affected
by tho change, the expenses and profits both
being increased in about the same proportion.
In either case, I contend that a small profit can
bo made on cotton at 20 cents, in a free labor
country; enough to keep capital and labor both
in a prosperous condition, if Jeff. Long keeps
out of tho field. Please understand, I am not
in favor of 20 cents for cotton without a cor
responding reduction in the pries of all other
commodities. I hold mine at 25 cents, and ex
pect to get. it. But balancing accounts is a dif
ferent thing altogether, and the figures mast be
put down as they c-omo. Farmer.
P. S. If any one objects to tho price of cot
tonseed in my credit list, I rate them according
to my rale. When cotton is 20 cents, I put the
seed at 20 cents por bushel; when cotton is 10
cents, the seed at 10 cents, &c. If they still
object, I hope they will bear in mind that, in a
rented field, one month and a half of the time
erfn- hi* devoted 49. other work, without adding
anything to tlfs expenses and add $30 moro to
tho gross profits’*

GEORG1A STATE AGRICULTURAL
• FAIR.
TUESDAY—SEVENTH DIy.
The weather yesterday was extremely disa
greeable and no ont-door exercises took place,
except ihose in the interest of private in
dividuals. By 9- o’clock a. ft. a light rain be
gan to fall and from that time until-a late hour
last night a steady, and at times, heavy rain,
fell without a moment’s intermission. The day
was spent by exhibitors in packing and remov
ing their articles, the continuation of the trial
of cotton gins, and the reading of premiums,
in the hall of tho Laboratory, by Hon. Ben. 0.
Yancoy, President of tho State Agricultural So
ciety, all of which premiums will be published
in to-morow’s paper.
CONCLUSION OP THE COTTON GIN TRIAL.
Tho first gin in order was the “Emory Gin,”
having 40 saws, with feeder and condenser com
peting with feeding attachment, which machine
ran through its 50 pounds of cotton in 8:18.
The “Daniel Pratt Gin,” 50 saws, ginned its
50 ponnds in 5:35.
Clemans, Brown & Co., entered tho “Clemen-
son Gin,” with 40 saws, which accomplished its
50 ponnds in 5:45.
The Hall Gin, with feeder, having 50 saws,
made its 50 ponnds in 5:12.
The Brown Cotton Gin Company entered a
gin with 40 saws, and ginned its 50 ponnds of
cotton in 5:32.
The award of premiums for these trials will
bo announced this morning; also those for cot
ton presses.
Wp are indebted to the following gentlemen
for their zeal and kindness in forwarding our

Scraps From Prentice.
Ex-Secrotary Seward’s presence seems to cre
ate a good deal of enthusiasm among the Mex
icans. Thoy aro evidently laboring under the
impression that ho is still engaged in tho earth
quake and whirlwind business.
Horace Greeley made a very good race in
New York city at the late election, but he made
a miserable one in the agricultural districts of
tho State. Tho farmers have too much respect
for their own calling to support a fancy farmer
for office who raises beets at a cost of fifty
cents apiece. They regard him as a “dead
beat.”
Gould, Fisk and Butterfield are really not so
much to blomo for their recent endeavor to turn
an honest penny by speculations in gold. Bnt
there is no excuse for Corbin. A man who
holds tho lucrative position of brother-in-law to
President Grant ought to be content to let out
side speculations alone.
A Philadelphia paper tells us that the nine
new Circuit Judges whom Grant is to appoint
after the first of December, are “an absolute
necessity.” There is reason to apprehend that
a majority of them will prove to be that neces
sity which knows no law.
General Grant is aware that if he were to
come hero and address tho Army of tho Cum
berland on the 18th ho would have a large
house; bnt, as nobody offers to make him a
deed to tho building and the lot on which it
stands, he declines to come.
An exchange says “tho muse of history will
describe the present administration as a mere
school boy’s tale.” Unless she is blind to the
number of “rings” it exhibits, sho will be more
apt to describe it ns the tail of a coon.
The friends of tho present free trade move
ment should derive a good deal of encourage
ment from the fact that tho President, in dis
posing of the patronage of his office, if in noth
ing else, is the most decided free trader of the
age.
The President of Mexico wants a new Cabi
net. We should insist upon sending him Gem
Grant’s if it were worth the transportation.

From the telegram from Washington to-day,
wo jndge that Andy Johnson has nailed the
above motto to his mast. Ho is going to bo on
hand this winter- at Washington to give tho
Radicals tho best he has in his shop as a gue
rilla. Very well We would have preferred
his making the fight in the Senate, but better
outside than not at all
We don’t care a fig for his “making Rome
howl,” etc., but we do want tho truth of history
told, as we believe he alone can tell it. \ If he
can add one mite to tho power that all patriots
invoke against those who have so wickedly
thrown away a pearl richer than all their tribe,
wo give him God speed in the endeavor. For
Johnson’s fight for Johnson we have no spe
cial sympathy, bnt when Johnson fights for the
good of tho peoplo and their country, he is
bound to have onr wannest wishes for a splen
did victory.
Crop Matters Up in Spalding.
So far as “the Griffin Middle Georgian can
loam, the crops in that section has been picked,
ginned, and very nearly all sold.
The pea crop, which farmers consider invalu
able, has been a complete failure, there not hav
ing been a sufficient quantity raised to afford
seed for the epsning year. .
The com crop has been housed, and is selling
at very high figures, somo sales having been
mado in tho oountry, at prices ranging from one
dollar and forty cents to ono dollar and sixty
cents per bnshcl
Provender is very scarce, and commands ex
orbitant prices, somo sales of fodder having
been made recently at $1.75 per cwt. •
As yet there has been a very small area of
land sown in wheat; and the probability is that
that article will be scarce and high priced tho
coming year.

Tho Dickson Cotton.
Editors Telegraph and MessengerAs King
Cotton has not yet abdicated his throho, but is
still asserting his power and influence in the
world, perhaps I oannot render him better ser
vice than by calling special attention to one of
his mo9fc proliflo and favorito fleeces. Many
now varieties of cotton have recently been
brought to notice, and liave been tried the pres
ent year with varied success nnd satisfaction.
I have myself tried five of these new cottons
this year, and have not w&tohed them on neigh
boring farms. By such experience and obser
vation I find no difficulty in deciding in favor of
ono of these varieties. That cotton yields ns the
best premium that produces the most money
for tho labor employed and capital invested.
Somo of these cottons present a finer staple, but
the extra price they command in market is not
commensurate with the more proliflo yield of
cotton of whioh I write, and are, consequently,
not to bo preferred.
The Dickson Ootton has stood thG test of
moro than thirty years, and still improves, con
trary to the general fact that cotton will degen
erate. It has been brought to its present state
of perfection by diligent and careful selecting,
and now stands No. 1 in the catalogue of short
staple cottons. It is not only prolific, bnt the
bolls are very large and easily picked, and it
matures and opens earlier in the season tfym
any other cotton. In my opinion it is, beyond
all comparison, the best cotton grown in Geor
gia. Interested parties may laud the Peeler,
the Moina, the Brazil, the Egyptian, but that
cotton that yields me one hundred bushels of
seed and three heavy bales from one bushel
planted, readily commands my preference, and
causes me to sanction the force of a remark
mado to mo recently by a distinguished and
successful planter. He said that ‘Tf there was
bnt ono stalk of the Dickson Ootton, and no
chance to get another, that he would pay one
thousand dollars for it.” So great hasbeoome
the reputation of this cotton that thousands of
bushels of seed aro sold—spuriously—under
this name, that have no relationship whatever
with the Dickson Cotton.
If planters wish to try this cotton, let them
send direct to headquarters, to Mr. David Dick
son, of Sparta, Ga., and I will vouch for the
faot that they will get the genuino seed; and
will farther vouoh, that they will not regret the
investment. I wonld warn iny friends of this
swindle of spnrions seed. All are not Dickson
seed that are labeled with that name.
Having recently visited Mr. Dickson’s farm,
and counted the balo of ootton to every aore I
saw daring a day’s ride through his fields, I
most give some of the oredit of such sucoess to
the kind of cotton he plants, as well os to the
excellence and superiority of bis system of
fanning. Somehow or somehow else, he ex
cels us all making cotton. It grows around him
as if by mngio. To his system, as a whole,
must be attributed his success as a ootton
planter. Say what you may about his plowing,
planting and fertilizing, bnt if you take from
him his select ootton, you will greatly shorten
his products in the way of a ootton’crop.
