TnE GEORGIA STATE FAIR.
Boyar Unit's Addraa.
Matoe’s Ottice. I
Macos, Jane 1, 1873 >
To the People of Upper and Lower Georgia*.
A» yen are aware, the Georgia State Igrtcnl-
tnral Soeioty will bold its next annual Fair at
this place, commencing on the 37th day of Oc
tober.
Every Into Georgian Is justly proud of hi*
native State—rich in mineral* as it i* varied in
soil—wealthy. Indeed, in ail that should consti
tute a people prosperous and happy. We have
here that diversity of production and peculiar
adaptation of the various aeotions to the dif
ferent industrial pnnnita which combine to
make np the natural elements sufficient for an
Expire. In agncnltnre, as in everything else,
harmonious eoncert of action strengthens and
supports each station of the State. Lower
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 The city of Maoon occupies a grand
central position geographically, and her citi
zens have provided within her limits fair
grounds and equipments equal, if not superior,
to any in the United States, for the accommo
dation of viaitora and for the exhibition of any
and every article which may be brought
here for show. The Executive Committee
and members of the State Agricultural Society
have evinced a determination to make this next
the great Fair of the State. The bandaome and
liberal premium lilt now being circulated
throughout the State apeak* for itself. An ex
amination of if* page* will convinoe every one
that the Society means burino-s. But the
“ comity display.” are looked forward to a* th.
prominent and great leading restores of the Fair,
and will doubtless present a grand panoramic
view of each county and section such as ha*
never before been witneaaed by the people of
Georgia The purposes of this appeal are,
therefore, to invite and nrge every oonnty in
the State, if possible, to be represented in some
way, so that we may have no blanks in the pic
ture. To do this is a plain, patriotie doty; a
doty which, if xealonsly performed, will con
duce to the prosperity and anooesa of every
oonnty in the State, witbont any regard what
ever as to which gels the $1000 premium of
fered. This premium will, of oonrse, go to the
oonoty which shall famish the “largest and
and finest display.’' Bat, as will be seen by
reference to the premium list, there are three
other handsome premium* to be distributed
among other oonnttea, as follows:
A preminm of $500 to the oonnty making the
second best display.
A preminm of $300 to the oonnty making the
third best display; and
A preminm of $300 to the oonnty making the
fonrtn best display.
There are now three prominent eonnties in
the State which are known to be bending and
concentrating all their vast powers and resour
ces upon this great oonteet—one in Upper Geor
gia, one in Middle Georgia, and one in South
western Georgia. Other counties will report
progress, and enter the list for competition at
the next meeting of the Sooiety, to be held in
Athens next month.
But while the foregoing county prizes are in
tended to represent the leading features of the
preminm list, they ore by no means the most
attractive. Tho city of Maoon has united with
the society in the effort to present a list of re
wards that will not only pleat o but actually
recompense the exnibitor for some labor and
expense. And among others which may be re
ferred to with pride and satisfaction, are the
following:

These are among the many premium* effered
by the oity of Macou, and the Suite Agricultu
ral Sooiety, aggregating in all more than $15,-
000. F>ut it is not to the vslne of the premi
ums that we look for rewards. The exhibition
promises nobler retails than this. Tnere will
be a great moral influence growing out of it.
The political economist will here find fcod (or
his tbooghta. The artisan will scan, with eagle
eye, the work of his peers. Tho thnf ty farmer;
the enterprising merchant; the fowl fancier,
and tho stuck importer; tho horticulturist—all
will be entertained, pleased and instructed.
Here we will learh tho socroes of supply and
demand in our own Staio. Hero we will learn
where, in oar own State, each and every article
is produced, raised or manufactured. Our peo
ple will here be taught where, in their own
oonntry, 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 esse. Exhibitor* from Upper
Georgia will here find a market for the ready
sate of much, if not all, of their pemhable ar
ticles at fnL', remunerative pnots. In addition
to all this, much general good must necessarily
grow oat of these annual reunions of so many
of the thinking and working men and women
of the country. Tbs spin! of State pride is
fanned into new life by these meetings, and
we forget, as it were, onr indvidoal misfor
tunes in rejoicing over onr mutual successes.
Let ns then devote one week in next
October to the very profitable work of
meeting and discussing the important ag
ricultural and commercial interests of tho
day. Let it be a week devoted purely
to the explosion of false theories and
putting into practical operation the safe,
sound, business ideas of the times. Among
other things, let us prove, by the variety and
menta of onr exposition, the great and absolute
danger and folly of looking to railroads, rivers
or canals for relief from “hard times." Lot onr
Fair in October be the only argument adduced
by us to prove the utter fallacy of that grand
idea, that ignis fatuus, called cheap transport
ation, vhteh has so snddsnly become the all-
absorbing thorns among men in search of relief.
For it may in time—indeed, it has already—be-
oome a serious question with thoughtful, ob
serving men, wheUier wo have not now too
much transportation. Our seeming advantages
may acmeumes become cur greatest misfoitune.
That which is oft-times a convenience is not al
ways a blessing. It may become a vital neces
sity for ns to inquire whether or not these im
mense railroad lines—traversing and corduroy
ing, ai they do, oar oonntry from mountain to
seaboard—are really feeding or absorbing us ?
That transportation which fosters and enoour-
ages our improvidence while il depletes onr
pockets, may be the transportation least of all
others wanted in this oonntry. And the objec
tions now ao strongly urged against onr railroad
systems might not be entirely overcome by
these proposed water line*. It is not, however,
the practicability of these grand schemes for
reducing freights that we moat stop now
to oonatdsr—for no matter how feasible
they may be, Georgia it is In nt
condition to wait their completion. The emer
gency—bread—is npon ns, and we most go ti_
work. and go to work to dsy. W* most teach
onr boys, by preoept and example, that the
grest virtue of life and the neoeesity of the
age is to be found in the truth of the old Latin
maxim, “ Labor omnia ifa ME** Th* people of
Georgia should never be dependent npon any
line or any system of transportation for the
meat and the bread, the hay and the fertilizers
used npon their farms. Buch a policy will
bankrupt and starve ont any people In the
world. Show me the man with a fat smoke
house and a well filled barn, and I will show
you one who is not affected by low-priced oot
ton or high transportation. On the other hand,
point me to that farmer with a lean smoke
house and an empty oom-crib, and I will show
yon a miserably poor and mistaken wretch,
whose dependent and destitute condition can
never be reached by high-priced ootton, or re
lieved in any way by cheap transportation.
The truth is, we have been betting onr bottom
dollars ao long on three fatal cards, called
“credit,” “oottor," and “caterpillar,” that
we now have nothing left ns but onr mules and
lands; and in asvsn cases ont of ten these are
pledged to some warehouse firm for supplies to
make this year's crop with. And yet, in the
face of all this crouching poverty and embar
rassment, we learn from the newspapers of the
oonntry that more land is planted in ootton this
year than last, or even any year since the war.
No wonder, then, that we should be crying ont
for more transportation.
Fifteen years ago, when I first commenced
the prodace business in Maoon, my little orders
for grain and meat seldom went farther west
than the fertile hills of Cherokee Georgia, and
the narrow valleys in East Tennessee. I bad
time then to write and send letters for these
supplies and wait the return of quotations be
fore baying. I, with other merchants, par-
chased there, at our leisure, all that waj neces
sary to supply the wants of Middle and South
western Georgia. Now we send onr immense
orders by telegraphie wires to the rich fielas and
broad plains of Illinois and Missouri; and if,
by any chance or ill lack, a railroad bridge is
burned or a transfer boat is sank and a little
blockade occurs en route, a panic ensues and a
meat, bread and hay famine at once threatens
every man and beast south of Chattanoogi.
This is onr miserably poor and helpless oondi
tion to-day—fearful and unreasonable as it may
appear to outsider!. But that annual defioieucy
of fifty millions of bushels of grain in the foor
States of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Booth
Carolina, commented npon so gravely by the
late Canal Convention in Atlanta, tells the whole
story. We have suddenly awakened, ss it were,
from a deep sleep and discovered the unwel
come faot that we are a poor, thriftless non-
producing, all consuming, dependent peoplo.
And just so long as the farmers and planters of
Georgia pursue their present mad policy of buy
ing fertilizers to make cotton to boy ooro, btcon
and hay with, and then pay two per cent, a
month for money from April to November of
each year to ran this wild sohedale, jnst so long
will they be pitiable beggars and borrowers at
the doors of transportation offioes and Georgia
shaving shops, provided a worse fate does not
speedily overtake them.
The troth is, the whole eonnlry has become
one common counting room and hnge gambling
shop. What we once did with the axe and the
hoe, the plowshare and the reaping hook, we
now seek to cooomplish by strategy and chance,
credit and speculation. And we mast, sooner
or later, oome back to first principles or we
mast perish. We have too many able-bodied
yonng men in shady places; too mooh tape cat
ling and pin selling and too little ootton ohop-
pitg and bay caring; too many yard sticks
thrown around Ioobo on smooth-top counters
and not enough hoe-hacdles and plow-stocks;
too many law-books and lager beer barrels in
proportion to the rail-splitting and ditoh dig
ging; too much foolish fashion and foppery,
and not enongh sledge hammers and saw-horses
—in a word, too much wholesale idleness.
Georgia has to-day, buried in tho rich bosom
of ber varied soil and preeions mineral beds,
greater wealth and grander results than can
ever bo worked out by canal projects or
Ooagresaianal enterprises. And how is it tu
be done ? Not by dreamy theories and myth
ical plans, bnt in talking corn instead of oanal
—in diversifying and developing onr own vast
resources—in writing more about Home effort
and less about foreign immigration—in plant
ing less option and manufacturing more yarns.
In this, and this only, lies the great secret of
Georgia success—agricultural as well us finan
cial and commercial. We are immensely rich in
resources bnt miserably poor in the handling of
them. What we want is work—honest, hard-
fisted, intelligent, well-directed toil, labor and
application in developing and ctilizing what we
have here at home rather than so many spas
modic eff-irts to bring from abroad that which
we should not bug. Oar poverty, like onr
pride, is tbs resnlt of misapprehensions and
mistaken ideas of onrselves, of onr oonntry
and of eaoh other. The abolition of slavery in
the Booth has developed a vast world of sickly,
sentimental, lazy, indolent. stupifleJ, Inert
and nnapt population—a population of yonng
and middle-aged mon, Borne of whom have
known better days. These mon put on old
store clothes, hang around dirty grogshop* and
dingy hotels, smoke cheap segars and drink
mean whisky, affeet old habits and anti-war
style, talk polilios a little and curse destiny and
free negroes more, fret and fame over the re
sult of the late war, write and sign np mort
gage liana on their cotton crops before they are
ilsnted, pay two per cant, interest on money
or nine months in the year and then promise
to pay annually in the fall more money per acre
for oommeroial manures to roatter over their
lands than some of them originally oust.
And, finally, when inattention to business and
general bad polioy and mismanagement have
brought them end their Bute to the extremity
of desperation—when rain and bankruptcy stare
ua all in the face—we i-suo proclamation?, call
public meetings, invito distinguished gontlemen
from abroad to oome here and sympathize with
uk. We meet in banquet hails,dnok much cham
pagne and discharge more gas over the great
and absorbing quo-lions of canal schemes, Con
gressional aid and oheap transportation, than
was ever expended by onr forefathers in dis
cussing the Declaration of Amertoan Indepen
dence. And what does it avail? Will these
idle and extravagant demonstrations ever work
ont the great problem of Georgia independence?
No! Never nntil labor becomes popular will
money get easy. Never, until we feed fancy
less, and learn to fatten chickens and hog*
more, will want disappear and plenty step in.
When these plain secrets of life shall have been
learned, when the wild mania for speculation
shall have departed from out farm houses and
plantations, when onr planters shall learn from
experience to abandon Wall street brokets and
“cotton futures, ” and come to deal more di
rectly in the prodnotions of square little “spots”
of potatoes and corn, when agriculture shall
become the ruling feature and controlling inter
est in our State—then, and not nntil then, will
wo become an independent, prosperous and
happy people. And wo have here in Georgia
all the elements necessary to this great end.
Here God has blessed ns with everything essen
tial to tho prosperity and growth of man or
beast, if only worked out Everything, from
a chicken and a churn to a ootton field and a
ooal bed, from a ground pea patch on the sand
bills to a gold mine in the mountains. These
are among the rich, rare and multiplied resources
of Georgia; these constitute onr strength, our
refuge and our power.
Think of it, farmers and planters of Middle
Georgia! Here we are, in the heart of the
Empire State, the boasted owners of lands with
out stint, blessed with a climate and soil where
two crops of grain or two of potatoes, or one
each of pea vines and hay can be successfully
grown on the same land the same year, and yet
we go to Baltimore to buy guano to make a lit
tle ootton to sell in New York to get money to
bay hay, oats and corn away ont in the rich
States of Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Mis
souri And jnst so long a? we are the volunta
ry patrons of produce dealers, heartless rings
and pampered monopolies, such ss now own
and control, operate and direct our only lines of
trade and transportation north, south and west,
just so long will wo be fit subjects for lien-
drafts and homestead laws, mortgages and re
pudiation. The South must work ont her own
independence. The remedy is ours, If we will
only apply ih Too often have we been beguil
ed by plausible schemes for great improve
ments and financial relief. Let ua no longer be
lulled into a false security by any promises
which oan be made, outside of our harvest
fields and hog pens, our bay patches and cane
mills. It ia here we shall find it. To this end
the State Agricultural Society throws open the
doors of ber Exposition halls, offers her pre
mium lists to the public, and invites competi
tion from every section of the country.
It may sometimes suit the interest of small
politicians to excite sectional antagonisms in the
State; bnt no such petty jealousy U 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 invitation to
everv county in the State to be represented. It
will impart new life, vigor and energy to every
industry; it will disseminate knowledge and
culture among the great masses of the people;
it will kindle a lofty emnlation among the work
ing classes ; it wi.l" present one vast field for
testing theories and trying conclusions; it will
cement as, as a people. In the bonds of frater
nal union, and none should be deterred from
fear of defeat—for the triumph of one will be
the triumph of all, and there will ba no rejoicing
over any defeat.
From the ladies we expect much—yes, almost
everything. Wiihoat their kindly aid and han
diwork we shall have no Fioral Hal!, and with
out that pleasing feature In perfection the Fair
can never be a grand success. The good women
Of onr country saved ns here two years ago—
without their timely efforts the Fair of 1S71
would have been an immense failure. Their
hearty oooperation now ia all we want to insure
anooesa.
Let ns then unite in one mighty effort to
throw • together, in one common display, the
grand and aggregate specimen resource* of onr
proud old commonwealth. Let it be each an
exposition of ov* pride and onr strength; anoh
an evidanee of onr skill and tuU, our genius
and onr oaergy, and especially of oor loro for
agriculture and onr homes, as shall challenge,
in kindness, the competition of the South,
while it excites the envy and admiration of the
world. W. A_ Hutt,
Mayor of the city of Maoon.
A Terrible Fuishmeat.
Mr. James Greenwood has published
frightful account of the silent sv3tem, which
in operation at the Holloway Model Prison, in
London:
It is an ofiense tor a prisoner to speak one
word, and he is never addressed except ia whis
pers, so that he may be in prison two years
without hearing the natural sound of the human
voice. The effect of this is so Jerrible in the
mind that prisoners will speak out in despera
tion, at the risk of any punishment, rather
than endure the terrible silence.
The prisoner* never see one another, but remain
in perpetual solitude. One poor wretch, driven
to desperation by nine months’ solitude and
silence, recklessly broke out in Mr. Greenwood's
presence :
“For God’s sake, Governor, put me in anoth
er cell. Pot me somewhere else. I have count
ed the bricks in the cell I am in till my eyes
ache.”
The request of the tortured wretch was
refused.
There is a fire hole in each cell, and as the
wardens wear shoes of India-rubber soles, the
prisoner can never be sure of being alone.
Those condemned to the treadmill have to
ascend 1,200 steps every alternate twenty min
utes for six hours. And this is a place so hot
and close that prisoners often lost in perspiration
three stone in as many months.
Every day the prisoners are taken to a chapel
so arranged that they can see no one save the
chaplain. And thus is the order of devotion
observed. Wardens are constantly on the
watch, lest for a single instant they, through the
whole of the service, depart from the rigid rule
of “eyes right.” They must look steadfastly
at the preacher; must raise and lower their
prayer book with the elbows squared and all at
once, like soldiers at drill. They may not
scrape their feet without having afterward to
explain the .movement. They scarcely wink
an eye or sigh without danger of rebuke or
punishment. God help them, poor wretches 1
Enoch Arden Improved.
This is the way they do Enoch Arden busi-
as in Maine: When the gold ferer broke out,
A, who was a happy young husband, went to
California. The wife, not hearing from him for
several years, thought herself a widow, and mar
ried B, a respectable resident of the same town.
After six years,. B also went to California,
fonnd C, ascertained that he would not inter
fere in his domestic concerns, and on his return,
“to make assurance doubly sure,” had the mar
riage ceremony repeated. After ten years more
of qoiet home life, the woman, on entering a
friend’s house one day t met her first shusband,
just returned to his native place. An affecting
scene ensued, a reconciliation followed, and she
was a second timo united to the husband of her
youth, to whom she had, daring ail his ab
sence, remained sincerely attached. B grace
fully yielded to circnmstances, submitted to her
decision, and soon after becoming the first
choice of an amiable woman, was a third time
made a happy bridegroom. All the parties
continue to reside in the same town, and neither
public nor private.peace has been disturbed.
Fecit in Tin Cans.—The Boston “Journal
of Chemistry” Bays: Tho impression prevails
among those who use freely fruits which are
put up in cans that they are injured thereby,
and this impression is in many cases correct.
We have long contended that all preserved
fruits and vegetables should be stored in glass,
and that no metal of any kind should be brought
in contact with them. All fruits contain more or
less of vegetable acids, and others that are highly
corrosive are often formed by fermentation, and
the metallic vessels are considerably acted upon.
Tin cans are held together by solder, an alloy
into which lead enters largely. This metal is
easily corroded by vegetable acids, and poison
ous salts are formed. Cndoubtedly many per
sons are greatly injured by eating tomatoes,
peaches, etc., which have been placed in tin
cans, and we advise ail our friends who contem
plate putting np fruit the coming summer to use
only glass jam for the purpose.
Lite in Plants.—A recent writer on horti
culture describes the struggle for life among
plant*. He says each plant endeavors, uncon
sciously, to destroy his neighbor, to occupy his
ground, to feed upon his nutriment, to devour
tis substance. There are armies and invasions
of grasses, barbarian inroads and extirpations.
Every inti of ground is contested by the .weeds;
the forest is a struggle for precedence; the wars
of the roses are a perennial fend. The severest
landscape, the stillest woodland, are the mortal
arena of vegetable and animal confiict. It is a
carious fact that the English plants sent to Aus
tralia always kill out the native plants of the
same character.
A woman in East Jaffrey, N. H, has had
an accurate picture of a Juniper tree printed on
her leg by a Hash of lishtnin*. And tlio editor
who chronicled the event has had a lively time
explaining to his wife where he got the item,
“Why,” asks an exchange, “did Captain Jack
surrender ? Why didn’t he die in his tracks ?”
Simply because upon the hard, barren, desolate
lava-beds to which the Government confined
him as a reservation it was impossible to make
any tracks in which to die.
Man proposes. Fifteen years ago, it is said,
Kentucky man bought a coffin for himself
considering it a handy thing to have in the
house. Last week he was totally consumed in
lime-kiln, and the coffin is a dead loss, with
the interest on the original cost included.

DIAMOND SPECTACLES.
T HESE Spectacle* are manufactured from “Min
ute Crystal Pebbles” melted together, and are
oalled Diamond on acoonnt of their hardness and
brilliancy. It ia well known that spectacles cat
from Brazilian or Scotch pebbles are very injurious
the eye, because of their polarizing light.
Having been tested with the polarijeope, the
diamond lenBee have been fonnd to admit fifteen
per oent. leas heated rays than any other pebble.
They are gronnd with great scientific accuracy,
are free from chromatio aberrations, and produce
a brightness and distinctness of vision not before
attained in spectacles.

Dr Badway ; Dear Bir—I am induced by a sense
of duty to toe suffering to make a brief statement
of the working of your medicine on myself. For
several years I bad been affected with some trouble
in the bladder and urinary organs, which eome
twelve months ago culminated in a moat terribly
affixing disease, which the phyaicians all e&id was
a epismodic stricture in the nretha, as also iz-flam-
mation of the kidneys and bladder, and gave it aa
their opinion that my age—73 years—would pre
vent my ever getting radically cured. I had tried
a number of physicians, and had taken a large
quanity of medicine, both alopathlo and homeoe-
pathic, but had got no relier. I had read of aaton-
abing cures having been made by your remedies;
and some four months ago read a notice in the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Poat of a cure hav
ing been effected on a person who had loeg been
Buffering as I had been. I went right eff and got
some of each—your Sareapariilian Resolvent,
Beady Belief, and Regulating Pills—and com
menced taking them. In three days i was greatly
relieved, and now feel as well aa ever

1873.
The proprietors avail themselves of the
lull in advertising to present their claims
again to the public. Nothing within tho
range of our ability is omitted to make
the Telegraph and Messenger In all
its editions acceptable to the reader. As
a vehicle of the earliest news on all cur
rent topics— and of careful and candid
exposition, we concede no superior in this
State.
In point of circulation in the range of
the country trading with Macon, the dif
ferent editions of tho paper are far be
yond competition. They literally per
vade the Central and Southwestern coun
ties of Georgia—addressing and inform
ing almost every merchant and house
hold.
No business man of Macon can afford
to he without tho use of theso columns
as an advertising medium. No one abroad
seeking a market for any commodity in
this region can intelligently dispense with
their aid in facilitating that object.
For successive generations theso two
papers, united for the past three years in
one, have commanded this great field of
circulation, and their hold on the public
confidence has never been disturbed or
interrupted. Wo are to-day with a larger
cash paid circulation than ever before,
and we hope to go on increasing with the
progress of the country. We do not say
it is tho “largest circulation,” but within
our proper field—where we can carry the
earliest news, it is beyond even approxi
mation by any other journal.

abundant miscellaneous, political and

sent to hundreds of Georgians who have
