AUGUSTA. GEA..;
Saturday Morning, November 27.1875.
[Sunday Magazine.]
Between the Lights.
A little pause in life, while daylight lingers
Between the sunset and the pale inoon
risP,
Y\ hen daily labor slips from weary fingers,
And soft gray shadows veil the aching
eyes.
Old perfumes wander back from fields of
clover
Seen in the light of suns that long have
set;
Beloved ones, whose earthly toil is over,
Draw near as If they lived among us yet.
Old voices call me, through the dusk re
turning.
I hear tue echo of departed feet;
And then I ask, with vain and troubled
yearning.
What is the charm that makes old things
so sweet?
Must the old joys be evermore wltholden?
Even their memory keeps me pure and
true;
And yet, from our Jerusalem the Golden
God speaketh, saying, “ I make all things
new.”
“Father,” I cry, “the old must still be
nearer;
Stifle my love, or give me back the past!
Give me the fair old earth, whose paths are
dearer
Than alt thy shining streets and man
sions vast.”
Peace, peace—the Lord of earth and heaven
knoweth
The human soul in all its heat and strife;
Out of his throne no stream of Lethe flow
eth,
But the clear river of eternal life.
He giveth life, aye, life in all its sweetness,
Old loves, old sunny scenes will He re
store;
Only tne curse of sin and incompleteness
Shall taint thine earth and vex thine
heart no more.
Serve Him in daily work and honest living.
And faith shall lift thee to His sunlight
heights;
Then shall a psalm of gladness and thanks
giving
Fill the calm hour that come* between
the lights.
LETTER FROM BURKE COUNTY
Deplorable Condition of tlie Farmers—
Failure of Their Crops —Nothing to
Eat, Nothing to Sell, No Credit and
in Despair—The Labor Problem —
And the End no Man can Foresee.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.]
Waynesboro, Ga., Nov. 25,1875.
The fall term of Burke Superior
Court, which has been in session here
this week, called together farmers from
all portions of the county. It is enough
to give one horror of horrors to hear
them talk over the actual situation of
their affairs. Commencing the plant
ing year (just now ending) more or less
in debt, the rains failed and they made
not more than half a crop. They
stoutly insist that more than half the
men in the entire county could be
driven into involuntary bankruptcy if
their creditors so willed it. Worse
still, they are in despair. They insist
that they neither have money nor any
thing to sell, that they have nothing to
eat and no credit. It would be difficult
to find a people more despondent, and,
if what they say is true, in a more
deplorable condition. “ Everything,
sir,” said one to me, “in my
neighborhood, which creeps, crawls or
walks, fit to eat, has been devoured.
We have not a hog, sheep, cow, goat,
chicken or turkey left. The negroes
have killed all. If we try to raise any
thing it is stolen. It is impossible to
protect cows, corn-cribs or hen houses.
Why, our very milch cows have been
slaughtered. It is easy enough for
you editors to lecture us farmers about
making our places self-sustaining by
raising ail our own provisions and
what cotton we can as a surplus. We
cannot do it, however so willing. We
may pen our hogs under the very
window of the house and they are
taken.”
And what this planter told me is the
story of nearly all of them. There is
here and there an exception, but, in all
truth, where you find one Burke county
planter in even comfortable circum
stances I hear twenty say they are fiat
broke. I have seen nothing for sale on
the streets of Waynesboro save a few
bales of cotton and the inevitable
apples and oranges of the perambula
ting huckster. I must also except a
book peddler with his satchel contain
ing specimens of “ The Cross and
Crown,” “ Bread of Life,” “ The True
Way to Heaven,” and such choice
literature. I could not help suggest
ing to him that this people needed
Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy, the
Book of Job and Hood’s Bridge of
Sighs more than the books he had.
He failed to see any oil in those lamps
and insisted on ray taking at least one
copy of the stock he had then and
there on hand. But I told him to call
and see my grandmother about it. I
was too young to decide for myself.
IN ANTE BELLUM PAY’S.
Yes, even in ante revolutionary bel
lum days, “ when George the Third
was King,” Burke was one of the rich
est and most prosperous counties in
Georgia. Its lands were originally oak
and hickory, produced well, and before
the introduction of railways and a
taste of Western meat and grain,
made an abundance to eat and
to sell. It was settled sim
ultaneously with Richmond, and
had its thrifty population when Ogle
thorpe surveyed and laid out plots of
cities, and Wesley preached the Word.
It has at least two spots to point to
where the American and British forces
met and fought. Wayesboro was named
for Gen. Wayne, and I was at a house
this morning which sheltered George
Washington and Baron Pulaski.
Down to the close of the war between
the States it was rich, prosperous, happy
and free. But O, how changed ! Their
riches have vanished like the mists of
morning before the bright lances of
the sun ; the arm is nerveless, palsied ;
the brain in despair.
Like the leaves of the forest when summer
is green,
That host with their banners at sunset were
seen;
Like the leaves of the forest when autumn
hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered and
strewn.
But ultimate destiny, I trust, is other
than wicked Babylon or Hundred-
Gated Thebes. The poet tells us most
truly that
“ Hope sometimes lights her torch
At Nature's funeral pyre."
There Is a young Georgia coming on,
necessary and urgent for the reason
the present generation are fighting
•with the energy of a people convinced
that victory is impossible.
Some of the difficulties of the rising
generation are looming up gloomily In
the future. The negro is already de
clared an encumbrance of the ground.
For a few years after he was set free,
he worked for his living by force of
habit and propulsion after the power
of driving him was withdrawn. That
no longer felt, he relaxed, crops up as
a loafer around bar-rooms, a hunter in
the woods, a willing listener to the in
surrectionary speeches of “Major Gen
eral Joseph Morris and Staff,” a
volunteer in his army. “If this is in the
green tree, what must we expect in the
dry?” The African boy is growing up
in the life of a vagabond and thief.
Work is the last thing he thinks of.
Living upon his wits and naturally
pnly half witted In hie determination—
r
his chosen profession—however unde
fined and uncertain that may be. This
is the material out of which the
future farm laborers of the land must
be made. It is at once worthless, and
as poor as the country now is, it must
go lower unless foreign immigration
comes to the rescue. Of that, we are
now without prospect, but not without
hope. The reason foreigners will not
work upon our plantations is, they
are put upon an equality with the
negro. They have no society, no
churches, no recreation; aDd, more
than all this, they have a natural aver
sion and loathing for the black man.
“ALL COTTON AND NO CORN.”
Much of the present evil of Burke
county can be unerringly traced to the
fatal mania just after the war to plant
all cotton and no corn. The people as
elsewhere in Georgia went crazy upon
the subject when it was bringing twen
ty-five and thirty cents per pound.
Their stock of hogs, sheep and cattle
died out. The negro became hungry.
He instnctively knew that heaven grant
ed the jackal as well as the lion a liv
ing, and failing to have it given him in
regular weekly rations, he took it
wherever found. How hard was it to
build the great temple of Ephesus, but
how easy was the task of the fanatic
to burn it down! So here we find
an army of hungry cormorants, whose
dire necessities will not permit them to
wait long enough for the planter to cor
rect his mistake by once more providing
plenty to eat in the regular old way.
It is difficult indeed to solve the prob
lem, profitless to discuss its origin;
there is no putting it aside. It is here,
a living reality, and like. Byron’s ghost
ly spectre, curdles a long life into one
single hour. Old men look on the or
gie like the victims of an Unpitying Fate!
May we not hope that there are an
abundance of youthful with
the speech ; “Down soothiess insulter,
I trust not thy tale 1” In the history of
peoples, as well as in nations, Zeus and
Destiny, sometimes supplant Courage
and Industry,
WHERE RELIEF MUST COME FROM.
The counties of North and North
eastern Georgia are better oft To
these, to Texas, or to somewhere else,
the idle and impecunious population
must go until the drain reestablishes
something like an equilibium. Nothing
short of hunger will ever drive some
people from a fatal spot. It is, per
haps, well it is thus, for otherwise,
we would be nomads.

OYSTER SHELL LIME.
The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer in
•Use in Georgia.
'VTOTHING In the way of H Fertilizer and
JLI Renovator of old soils, has been found
equal to PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME.
It is not only for one year, but its good
effects are seen and continues for eight to
ten years. Lime is greatly beneficial to all
Grain Crops, applied as a top dressing, and
also to Potatoes and all root crops, and
should be applied in quantities not less
than sto 30 bushels per acre’ For Compost
Heaps it is invaluable, and to the planters
of Georgia this plan of using Lime is speci
ally recommended to bring up our State to
the front rank in Agricultural matters. The
cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME
will recommend it to every farmer who has
used fertilizers largely for the past few
years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its
long years of service, acting as it does for
years after its application has been forgot
ten. In soils abounding in vegetable sub
stances the nianurial quality in Lime is
more fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds
in all soils of common fertility, but little of
it is available—Lime unlocks this store
house of Nitrogen and renders it readily
available for plant food. A splendid and
econo i ical compost fertilize may be made
by thoroughly mixing one bushel of salt
and three of Lime, and let the mixture
stand six to eight weeks before using. This
is specially adapted to using in drills for
Turnips. The cheapness wad facility of
procuring this wonderful renovator of the
soil ought to make it one of the first object s
of the farmer (who desires to improve his
land) to obtain it. Nothing in the way of a
fertilizer or renovator has been found equal
to it, as proved by the increased yield of
crops and permanent impro v ement of the
soil at a cost less, by far, than any other
manure. We are prepared to furnish PURE
OYSTER SHELL LIME in any quantity
at $lO per ton of 2,000 pounds free of cart
age, on cars in Port Royal, h C.
We also have a Compound for Prevent
ing Hot in Grapes for sale at 35U per ton.

TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSOIVS PATENT EVENER
Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements In this Erener, the laps when ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.
SSKlhere is also a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the miils of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mills at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester
Lewiston. Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.

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

Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. f
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen, r have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, lor more than two vears oast 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, we 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 Are.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
