AUGUSTA, QA.:
Wednesday Morning, Sept. 22, 1875.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Augusta’s Paupers.
As W inter approaches paupers increase.
Atlanta is willing and able to take care of
her own poor; she is not able, or at least
not willing, to support the poor of other
cities and other States. We are absolutely
Hooded at this time by foreign poor. A few
hours spent at the Mayor’s office or at the
rooms of the Benevolent Association would
result in the astonishment of many of our
readers. They would he*r more applica
tions for relief in a singlo afternoon than
they supposed wore presented in the course
of a week. Very few of these are resident
poor—very few. When the applicants are
questioned, the truth comes out that they
are, sis cases out of ten, just from Au
gusta.
This j ; a result ol a bargain between the
Georgia Railroad Company and the city of
Augusta, by which the former gets the use
of a piece of land free of rent, and the latter
has an opportunity to lid itself of all poor
who can be induced to travel free of charge.
This nefarious bargain pours into Atlanta
a steady tide of the poor of Augusta, and
of the tramps of the surrounding States.
And the shamelessness of the whole matter
appears when a public journal of Augusta
claims that th ‘y have a right to outrage
another city in this manner. They
have no such right. It is an outrage
on law and public rights. It is rob
bery by an indirect method. It is a wrong
that we will not submit to one minute after
a mode of redress can be found. We can
not send them back t< > advantage, because
the Georgia company demands from At
lanta fare. We cannot send them on, for
that would be a gross outrage on other
cities’ rights. The total number sent out
of this city a year is not a hundred, and in
every case they are sent to friends. The
indiscriminate passage of all who apply is
confined, we believe and hope, to Augusta
alone.
The true remedy is to be found in an or
dinance that holds a railroad company re
sponsible for every cent of expense that the
city Is put to on account of any pauper it
brings in. This is a common rule in the
west and southwest, and it would quickly
and effectually break down such an unfair
outrageous and law-defying contract as
the one that exists between the Georgia
road and the city of Augusta. If the Coun
cil is not authorized to pass such an ordi
nance by the charter, then the power to
protect ourselves against such wicked and
dangerous Inroads should be procured as
soon as the legislature meets. At
present Augusta is systematically rob
bing our tax papers, and we see no
way to stop the outrage except through
such an ordinance as we have mentioned.
There is little use of trying to provide for
our own poor, when Augusta is pouring
into the city a steady tide made up of the
poor of several States. The professionals
soon learn that they can get transportation
at Augusta for Atlanta, and they go there
with a view of trusting to their luck when
they arrive in our midst. Asa matter of
curiosity, we hope our authorities will keep
a record of all applicants who come to At
lanta on passes given by the Mayor of Au
gusta. A long pencil and a broad sheet of
paper will be needed to keep the record.—
1 Atlanta Constitution,
The Georgia Cotton Crop, 1874-’75.
Georgia raise 1 and sent forward to mar
ket in 1874-’75, 576,084 bales of cotton.
Estimating that each bale brought S6O,
which is a fair average, and we have $34,-
601,040. This is supposing that ail was ex
ported, which was not the case. To this
must be added the amount consumed by
our mills, which would swell the revenue
the great State of Georgia received from
the staple two or three millions more, or in
round numbers, $36,000,000. As our popu
lation is twelve hundred thousand, this
would give each man, woman and child
the sum of S3O if equally divided. And this
is only one source of our income, though
the principal ono.
How any people can feel hard times, or
even want for the actual necessaries of life,
in the rebeipt annually of this magnificent
reward for their industry, is more than we
can figure out. But the truth is, we strongly
suspect that there is more talk than truth
in present complaints. We know of no
body suffering, nobody in actual want, and
upon every hand the industrious are most
comfortably fed, clothed and sheltered.
. Georgia raised a magnificent provision
crop this year. She will have to buy some
meat, but precious little grain or long for
age. We insist, there! jre, that we are in
splendid condition. The only direction in
which an immediate improvement can be
made is to Increase our hog crop. The
laws must be more rigidly enforced for
stealing and killing them. Perhaps if the
crime was made a felony It would do much
P (wards protecting farmers
It is time to stop croaking, for there is
neither reason, sense nor tru;h in it.
A High Compliment to Cur Paper.
George P. Rowell & Cos. American
Newspaper Reporter pays tLe following
high compliment to The Coxstitutiona
list. Rowell’s place in New York is the
headquarters of five or six thoisand news
papers printed in the United States:
“There is room for improvement in the
get-up of our country newspapers. Look
ing through the tiles of journas in our
newspaper-room, we are struck with the
comparative scarcity of well-set Saeets. In
many cases the matter is thrown togethe
so carelessly in the make-up as to give a.*
impression that an amateur is responsible
for the work; very often the composition
is such as any good journeyman printer
would be ashamed to be accused of; and
it is far too generally the case
that mistakes are frequent and
flagrant enough to give readers a, low
opinion of both conductors and
journals. There are, however, many sheets
prepared in every way with care and talent,
and these are sufficiently numerous to
counteract the detractory influence of the
others. Among a batch of these we hive
selected we find especially worthy of nte
the Cincinnati Enquirer and Commercial, the
Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, and the
Baltimore Commercial Advertiser.
“It may be argued that these being higi
class, well-supported papers, the proprie
tors can afford to bestow pains on their
production such as would cost the ordinari
country newspaper proprietor every cent
of his profits. But this is no sufficient rea
son for gross carelessness. If a paper is
worth printing at all, it is worth being
made what it is expected to be—a pub
lication of literary and typographical
merit. It is suicidal to allow it
to be otherwise. The public is a
shrewd judge, and laughs at ono who,
being careless or ignorant, or both, sets
himself up as its teacher. A knowledge,
too, of the elements of art is so widespread
that a journal in which ugly blocks and
tasteless poster-like advertisements are In
serted is scouted, even when its other re
commendatory qualities are average.
“It will be found that care and good
workmanship will pay on country news
papers as well as on city. Those win
journals a reputation; and to gain this is
to have attained an important stage on the
road to success.”
The Queen, a well known English news
paper for ladies, contains the following:
“Beauties of the Toilet.—Miss A. TANARUS., thirty
years lady’s maid in the highest circles of
England, Paris and Spain, w 11 forward full
descriptions in the new and beautiful art
of getting up the face and eyes in the most
(brilliant style, with other recipes for the
poilet, standing unrivalled."

KITSON’S PATI"NT EVENER
Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps wlien ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an oun -e to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card ro tin.
SS*Thei eisal o a grcat saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac

Gentlemen : We have been running your Compound Opener Lappors and Finisher
Lappers, with Eveners, lor more than one year, and frankly say that they have given

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, /
Langley, S. 0., April 14, 1873. \
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen . 1 nave been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, for more than two years nast, at. the Cotton Mill of tne
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, w e have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against lire.
Yours, &e., H. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
