''lßs ana Jaqier, ROBERTS 4 BOYD, ' -EDITOSS zzi PEOPEIETOHS. —-'cata OCTOBER 14, 1875. V A HIGH COM PL IM EM T TO GEORGIA. Georgia cm l the American branch of the Direct Trade Movement. An important meeting of the Direc tors of the branch of the Direct Trade movement on this side of the Waters took place in Louisville, Ivy., recently. A number gf prominent men from *he different States'a ho are interested i t this m->\ e neat were present. Amo: g taem was Col. D. Wvatt Aikin, Gcfi. G. T. Beauregard, Dr. Win. Maxwell, Master Tennessee ■State Grange, [lon. K. 1?. Shankland of lowa, of the Execu tive Committee of the National Grange, C >1 T. ,J. Smith of Georgia, and others of equal prominence. ' It was voted to raise one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars f< r the pro motion of Direct Trade; tlfD amount tube raised by pro rata apportionment f’ora each of the following States : Ala bama, Georgia, Hi nets, Indiana, lowa. Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mi io ot i, •Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina. Nebraski, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, .Virginia, and Wisconsin. , Here is what is said of Georgia : • No man in the State has: worked harder for the prosperity of Georgia, or feels a greater interest in her future welfare, so far asMus libHity goes,, than Col. Smith. Early and late, in season and out of Season, lie lias devoted him self to the great- grange moyoment, be lieving that throgh. its workings the agricultural interest of the State can best lie promoted and developed. And it is with feelings of deep pride that he brings home with him the gratifying in t, dligenee that the one hundred and tvon ty-fivethonsand dollars are to he,expend e l in Georgia for the cstnblisMneut of direct t rade witli England. Tins action ■ 'f the directors is.certainly a high and deserved compliment to the ‘Eini i e ,'ll ate of t hi; South,” and Col Smith ear-’ n cstly desires that her ciiizens may ful’y appreciate it. Eve suitalile and relia ble men. one of whom will be Col. Smith, are to have the control of these funds, and under their direction it is confidently hope 1 that every dollar will be wisely and judicioudy expended. Much, very much depen is upon the hear ty sympathy and cordial co-operation of our people witli this grand movement.' It is due Col Smith, whoso efforts have been untiring iu behalf of our State in tiiis matter, that his generous labors should lie heartily seconded by the unit ed and steadfast support of the business men and planters ot Georgia.. The sue* cess ot this project will lie of tin*, great est importance to Savannah or Brnn swiclc and. Atlanta, and iu her citizens, it, least, the movement ought to find its most devoted adherents and supporters. At all events, whatever else may lie said of our,people, let jc not be sounded abroad, that the high compliment thus paid them falls upon indifferent and unappreciative ears. The best ac snole Igement of flic compliment will be through prompt, hearty and untiring efforts to make the direct trade move’- m int a grand success.— Conn*itution. IM FOR TA NT 11ESOL V TIOXS. A\ hi-.rkak, rile Jefferson Grunge lias from time, to time, during the pas! twelve months, publicly proclaimed against the, traffic in seed cotton and lckets lint in unmerchantable quantities ; cqiulemniug the trade as a great moral wrong, ruinous to the in terests of the planters and honest trad ing community, demoralizing to labor, and affecting-injuriously all classes of society; and, 'vhercqs,‘such manifesto Las failed to remedy or abate the evil. Resolved 1. That wo we reaffirm in unmeasured language our disabproha tion of such traffic, denouncing the trade as iniquitous, sustaining as it does a system of robbery that is destroying the property of that class of our conT munity on whom depends all prosperi ty ; paralyzing the energies of the bone and sinew of our };,ud. crushing the spirit of enterprising young en,"mak ing farming unprofitable and country life unattractive, causing both old and young to, turn with disgust their backs t'> agricultural pursuits, draining the rural districts of, the wisdom and ex perience ,ff the one, and the enterprise tnd vim of the of hqr , thereby wenken ng and breaking down the. basis of all ndustrjal pursuits. Resolved 2. That wc beg of our merchants and trading friends of this county to discontinue this trade at once. JI" wind 3. That wc the members o' J offer son Grange do pledge our :s-Ivors to a man, neither to buy from, n >r sell, to, not* in any- way support, • •one who shall in the future engage ’ ns traffic without e \ press consent m the pi Opr ;c tor, employer, or agent <m whose place such seed cotton or mmerchantable packages of lint pur ports to coinc, and we further pledge ourselves to make unceasin <r war against this trade, until it is effectually stopped. , Resolved -t. J hat we call upon every datron of Husbandry and every lover of honesty, morality and peace, of every profession and occupation to come to our rescue, and that we ur-m similar action on the part of every Grange in this and adjoining counties asd in every section where thisdamna- f V*~ —' ——l l ■ 1 . b'.. traffic is carried on. Resolved 5. That a copy of this preamble and resolutions; be furnished the News & FakmcK' of Louisville, -and Chronicle A Sentinel, Augusta, Ga ! with the request that they publish the same and that all the journals in the State endorsing this effort will take such notice of the same, as will arouse a public sentiment against this trade. A. J. Lockhart, Ml This. llarhk&vn, Secretary. STATE NEWS SUMMARY.

IHcj /pq, ■ Albany News says, a great water spout in all its phi vian profltsiarf" came down in that locality, and that if it had struck Atlanta on.tiie dividing line, at least half of the Gate City would have drifted away. It’s late iu the season for to be tearing up blankets in such wan-’, tonnes.?. . Jane Andrews, an insane woman in Clayton county, burned herself to death recently. - • Clark of the Const Urn. ion lias return ed from New York with',a bdtteau and appurtenances-for the gratjd okefgnokeo exploration, wlfich is a tiling that will hear keeping up with. The ( 'tipper tells of a Jefferson coun ty man who run oil" with a horse and buggy, that belonged to somebody else, leaving sundry lit tie bills unliquidated. We had rolraiiied from mentioning the fact,, because we did gpt.wgnt.to be lieve tlie young man would act so naught}’. It is mtqored that lie receiv ed a slight contusion from a kick before lie left. I.'-.i Misert'liles. Tne grangers uf Kaudolph county; are going to tho fair, the great -Macon- State Fair t . aud bivaue under.their own constructed pgnvgss cloth, arnped top the teeth with skillets, frying-pans and coffee pots, prepared to see the tiling through. Worrall says his calumniators are making thrusts at Direct Trade, rather* than at him, but are making him their medium. He- says that lie would not --accept the position jte holds until it : ’•was arranged that not a dollar of the ; money of either section should pass through his hands ; yet Woods of the Dispatch thinks it is not all right yet. Land in Jefferson county the other day sold for §7 50 per acre at adminis trator's sale. Woods of the 1 lawkinsville Dispatch is opposed to Base Ball. It is the base part of it that he objects to no doubt and his sympathies witli the unfortunate M rs. Boyd are awakened There’s two sides to almostevery tiling and so it is with this interesting game. There has been a serious poisoning in I halton which occured at. a wedding in ; high circles. It seems that the affair was well attended and all persons who cat of a certain kind of custard that was flavored with the extract of peach leaves instead of ahnond as believed, were poisoned, and tliere was quite a number some sixty or more, even the bride and groom who had started on a tour came back to be treated, some of the party have died. Sonic others are dangerous ly ill.- A difference of opinion exists be tween two colored youths at the.extremes of the State, one advocating A. 11. Ste phens, and the other Grant, for Presi dent, and the Darien Gazette man is worried about it because he knows one will be disappointed. Gen. Colquitt is considered one of the most prominent Grangers in the State and lie would like to be Governor. The Spirit of tlie South has arrisen from the dust of Eoertf- Saturday, oiled its feathers and now soars aloft with a little of John 11. James’s salt on its tail, Why not call it the Pheenix. The cholera is ravaging the pork pros pects in upper Georgia and people there are going to make an extra quantity of apple sarse. Senator Kibliee of Pulaski is in New York trying to get an, insight into the, true, state of the bond question, Ife finds that the credit that Georgia lias now is due tq Democratic management. The contention of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge I. O. G. T. in Gainsville usks the Legislature for, a local option law that will embrace the whole State. Every Lodge should make this request individually. A Mountain Gap drummer tells us that in Sandersvillc the man who pays §I,OOO tax on whiskey, sells thirty bar rels in two weeks by retailing it. , How will this do for high, and wlmt are.the United Friends doing in those parts for heavens Sftke. Burglars are doing a good business in Atlanta and the prospect in the future is proiakungi so,its likely they will stay longer. The colored convention met in due form. -Minutes read and approved, and some in favorof Africanization and oth er kinds of emigration. Some are will ing to stick to Georgia. Bishop Gross has hecn enlightening the citizens of Atlanta about the tune, position and authority of the Pope, and the connection aud relative intimacy that exists between hiinand the church of Roman C'atho’i i m.; lie is a v.ry plausible man but always makes t/ic Church the centrifugal and crooning argument, and harmony is ! is wateli word. ,> The Atlanta Herald thinks Joe Smith a living-monument jn opposition to an advance of public salaries, lie never rides in a carriage, has none, but yet his dignity and department makethoso that ride by him in purple and fine linen, ashamed of their shoddy aristocratic show. The Geneva Lump is throwing some light on a rattlesnake sensation and r lally ntakes us believe that the snalte season is going to ebe protracted tndfi nitely, like a man's outstanding dues. GEORGIA STJrE BOARD OF HEALTH, f ') GeneruL Invitation. - r At the recent meeting of the Board of Health of the State of Georgia* the following preamble and,, resolutions were adopted-: V* ■ ‘*. -j “Whereas.
