EDITOKUL COBBESPOSDESCE. J
Barlow Houes,
Americuj, Oct. 23.
Tha rain, Uio pltilesi rain, continued to
fall almost without elation yesterday oa
the writer journeyed from your city to
this place, not heavily, bat in the form of
a sharp penetrating drizz'e which con
verted the soil into an otsty slash most
annoying to pedestrians, and enggeetive
of aalsido to the average Frenchman.
Yet a little fire made the atmosphere
quite comfortable, albeit the tiain was
rather orowded.
THS HXW INTEREST LAW
was a eaoject of general remark, and we
olioited at length the views thereon of
cne prominent liwyor and a represents
tive farmer from 8. W. Georgia
The former declared that tho Act would
prove a nullity in praotioe and could
never be enforced, while it would serve
greatly to complicate an 1 embarrass all
the monetary operations of the oouniry.
The planter aaid it might do good by
forcing the tillers of tC3 soil to dispense
with all external aid and canse them to
depend upon their own farm products
and personal erertions for enbtristence.
Hie great fear, however, was that there
would of necessity be a
BETOOK TO tSB r.LDOBBDITeCIIEDULS
and cottet qu,-Et rnicous prices, which
well nigu made shipwreck of the country
seV'-rai ji-ars ago.
When the farm<T was able, if unfortu
nate, to borrow a little money in bank
even at 12 per cent, dating tho eammer,
wb«u his supplies and lands were ex
bausted, a, the same was repaid in the
early tail from the first fruits of the cot
ton crop, it was seldom that interest
actually run for moio than four or Jive
months, wtuls with tho money he was
able to muko bi* purchases at
B .TTOM FIGURES,
An> a raving ut >: least thirty per cent,
ns oomranted with credit prices. Bat
there is no nse repining at what cannot
be helped, so backers, planters and every
one tisv. muct get along ns bc3t they
can under me new law, end resolve to
live witma tlroir incomes and upon their
in !> victual resooroes. If the rampant
ipi.il of .p. colition is oheoked by the
ren r.ti. to ot un, eia ate, then it will not
have been ciiactrd in vain.
TBB COTTON CROP
was looking far oeiCor than we expected
to 8 • ir. T i. pi sot is loaded with a top
crop of we,I m itnred bolls, which only
need a few u-j*’ sunny weather to cause
them to nnfoid their snowy fleece. Bat
th> opt-n cotton is sprouting badly in the
pod tiom cue oontrouoas rains, end will
eneteia Brriona injury. The ripe peas,
al ■•, nil soon be .-pulled and nnfit even
fo. - . ik, u-iess dry weather enper-
ven.fi.
TYero will be an immense breadth of
land laid down in oats, wheat and rye,
doritg the fall and spring, and tbu
fsiuitrs at length team fully alive to the
nec-.hi;y cf rat-tux un abandonee of pro-

y.iin NOTES.
Aftcr'dinner we paid a visit to the Re
corder office, and received a warm wel
come fiom oar brethren, Sl.sirs. Cnrie-
ti.vn & Caiuway. This yoang cauaidate
for public patronage already esmparea
favorably with the most prosperous
weeklies ot the State, and prints fifty-
eight qaires lor each edition. Wo wish
it contiuned success. The writer was
thin eseoKed by Mr. Callaway to thu
Fair grounds avi introduced to Mayor
Felder and many of the subntanticl citi-
xeLsof Sumter county. The gronods
«ne sloppy, the cpaqne cloud* continued
to wetp.and the atteniaocc was small.
Bat tho exhibition in all other respects
was eminently worthy of this prosperous
auu fertile region. Indeed, it was
HOST EXCELLENT.
Will the reader join ns in a tour of ob
servation? Eatoriag the main building
from tho front tne first objtos encoun
tered is the splendid variety snow of
Mr. J. B. Shatr, arranged under a tasty
car.r-py, and comprising all manner of
notions and merchandise, clothing, ci
gar*, etc , etc. These were all bo adjus
ted aa to produce tha happiest effeo:.
Tie', came the large harness and sad-
lety display of Messrs. Barnet & Cooper,
wbfon covered some of the bsst ^oods
m..nnfao»UT.-d by your enterprising

ffict, glevtd double harness and sad

very elegant.
The specimens of needle work were
very fine. One Kdy, Miss Addle Wiilef,
exhibited a fancy ottoman covered over
with embroidered delineations of divera
animals, executed with consummate taato
and effect. Her display of tidies, worked
handkerchiefs, sleeves, collars, chemises
mate, aprons, pin cushions, pillow cover-,
etc., was astonishingly large and beanti
ful. Wa saw also ona quilt that em
braced 22,003 tiny patches, the handi
work of Mr*. Dorman, and another,
numbering 3,017 dippings, ail from dil
terent bolts or calico.

They included splendid specimens of ar
tifictal flowere, chtll work, embroidery,
wreath*, tasty boiaaudwith exquisite
tatting edges, eta, eto., added no ii:tie to
the beauty ol the exhibition.
One neatly arranged and varied collec
tion ot impaled insects, the work of
Johnnie Hardy, a crippled yoath, is well
worthy of mention. The Art Gallery was
not large but embraasd quite a number
of oreditable drawings and paintings,
some of the best of which were con.rib-
nted by the accomplished danehter of
onr old fellow-citizen, Mr. Joseph Sey
mour, Miss Fannie.
We next directed onr attention to the
VEGETABLE. FftUIT AND HOH*EKEEPI«G DK-
FARTHEST.
This was very fall and almost unsur
passable. It inolnded delicious Shockley
apples and the harder Bomanlte mam
moth, Irish potatoes of the second crop
and sweat potatoes, squashes, kershaws,
eggplant aa large as a man’s bead, bee;*,
okra, snap beans, butter beaus, tomacoe*,
carrots, pepper, radishes, lettuce, cab
bages, green corn, parsnips and two
large watermelons which have only re

nong nines and cordials, brandy penche-,
preserves, catsups, pickles, jellies, lauoe*,
snowy bread, rolls and delicious cake,
rich yellow batter, canned fraitv, etc.,
eto. One lady exhibited tairty varieties
of jellies. This department would have
graced any industrial exposition. The

very unpopular, and ttat the Republicans
who scratch Cornell will counterbalance
the faction led away tty K- lly.

for th9 up oountry. Saturday night the
torrents eaina, and the pent up monn'.ain

From the same paper wo make tbe

Richard Williams, oolored, a driver in
the employ of Messrs. Moran & Reilly,
while out eunniog in the woods on the
Augusta Road, near the Telfair place, on
Sunday afternoon, discovered the body
of a child in a starch box partly buried.
He came into the city and offered to re

was paid a reward, which of oonrse <*aa
impossible. The negro waB yesterday
arrested at the instance of Coroner
Sheftall on a warrant for a misdemeanor
by Magistrate Russell, end committed to

of a guinea egg, and on it, in raised let

Oglethobpe Echo: A gentleman who

people had any conception of the terrible
straits to which a large class of negroes
iu this county are reduced; that a major
ity of our colored population do not aver
age a square meal a day, while many of
them are actually on tbe verge of starva
tion. He says ho often hires hands so
nenly famished that be has to feed them
before they are able to begin work, and
that they eat like ravenous wolves. As
soon as they are filled most of them are
satisfied, and at the first chanca dodge
off from work. The vagrant law should
be vigorously enforoed. There is plenty
of work in our county, and thero is not
the slightest excuse for anyone suffering.

As this fair holds its pension first
of all is this section, thes 9 Tho masville
and Thomas county people have “got the
drop” on Bambridge and Albany certain;
and ss thepopnlar theory of the times-is
“you tickle me and I'll tickle you,” I
think it is ga good idea for Dougherty,
Mitohell and Decatur counties to send a
rousing big delegation to Thomcsville—
then ditto to Biinbrigde, which hold: its
fair tho next week after the
Thomssville fair and immediately
after its adjournment; then from
Biinbridge let’s all bands go to Al
bany and wind up with a great big jolly
good crowd—after whioh let us all
rest a little, and then on the 15:b
cf December, I propose that South
west Georgia go down en mows to Talla-
hasseo, Fla., and assist our good neigh
bors of Middle Florida in haviog a glori
ous wied np for tbe season.
Thomasville opens her Fair oa Tues
day, the 28th inst; Biinbridge on Tues
day, tho 4tu of November, proximo; Al
bany, Tuesday, tie 11th of November,
proximo.
As I have seen none of tbe premium
lists of the Bainbridge fair, nor have I
communicated with any one on the sub
ject, I am not prepared to give any posi
tive information as to its prospects, but.
I presume that brotner Russel aud alt
others not directly interested will see
that it fa carried to a successful termina
tion, and when I pressuu this muon I
do not think I hazzsrd much, for knowing
the leading spirits of B linbndga as well
03 I do, X am satisfied that they will not
let their enterprise go down. Any people
that will sustain their local press as those
people do will sustain other local enter
prises. Am I right Caotain Ben ?
