<Quitman Reporter. H. M. MiINTOSH, ■ ■ Editor. THURSDAY, NOV. 10. 1871. Butlf.h on the War Rath. \\ lien BeiiHt Bntler was drfeatud f->r Con gress he wiiid that he eoulil stand it ii the Republican party could, but it Hoem-s that after reflection, and when it eoipcs to tho reality of the thing, the pressure is a little more than be can hear. It is aim mneed now that ho is preparing ft letter for publica tion, claiming that he was betrayed bv his friends, promising uncomfort able revelations, anil threatening to form anew party in Ma-savlm-e't-i. This is just the way ho led off in abolitionism a good many years ago, which finally resulted in one of the Moodiest revolutions ever brought about by a civilized people. Ben’s record during and since that war. however, has been such that he will hardly he able ever to get up another One. He has reached th<' acme of liis political life in this country, and as he is now on the decline, we would suggest to him that he go out to Utah, where he might be better ap preciated. They say old Brigham is about todlie, ami wc think this would be an excellent opportunity for a car pet-bagger to make all adventure. The l’rollts of Fanning. The result of the farm products for the past year have by this time been sufficiently ascertained to ena ble most of our farmers to calculate the profit or loss of their labors. Ihe report of fthe premiums (some of which are published elsewhere in this issue) from the State Fair, recently held in Atlanta, shows that some of, tour people, at least can eultivtae the soib-so as to make it-pay. And these inen are not limited to any partic ular locality, either as to climate or; character of soil. AMlilo some who have thus successfully reaped the re wards of their toil live in upper and middle Georgia, yet the lower part of the State lias not been deficient. Thomas county has shown what some of her enterprising citizens could do, and wo are "indebted to our worthy fellow-citizen, W. 11- Groover, for de monstrating that under judicious management the soil of Brooks county will return generous profits to theiindustrious husbandman. But our object in this article was not so much to notice the premiums i awarded by the State Agricultural Society as to call attention to the facts {bus made apparent that for a farmer , to be successful the soil must be liber ally manured and thoroughly cultiva ted. This is the grand secret of all profitable icroj’s. Small farms well worked, instead of large fields hastily ‘run over, should be our aim. AVhat ,ever is done, let it be well done. 'This rule will apply to all other busi ness and {trades as w ell as farming. \Vo do not object to broad acres, provided we do not sacrifice thorough tillage for the increased number of acres. It seems to us it lias been demonstrated over and over enough to satisfy all of our people that large plantations merely skimmed over and yielding but little per acre will not pay; while if there is any profit at all, , it results from the contrary course. There is the :Sving in fences, there is the improvement in land, the saving in plow ssitock, and besides, there is so much more satisfaction in seeing a neat, dlean, [thrifty, vigorous crop, even if simall, rather than little dw in ' (Ring corn and cotton scattered over ; ,a large area, and having a hard con test for mastery with the weeds, i grass and briers. Wc would like to say something about the advantage of a greater di-. versity in our agricultural products, i but omit for the present by only urg ing upon our planters the suggestions -we have made, hoping that ns they | are beginning perhaps to make some for another year, they' may give heed thereto, and to make 'tliei-r arrangements in future to dis pense with these broad fields of half starved corn and cotton that bring no : profit to the owner, and are anything but a 'recommendation .to our coun try, to the traveller who passing by. looks upon the unpromising pros pects they present. AY. B. B. Te Increase. —Only six States had Democratic Governors in 1870, and How the number is twenty-two out of thirty-seven. Ten out of the thir teen States which voted for Governors on the third of November elected Democrats, v;z: Alabama, Geo. S. Houston; Arkansas, A. H. Garland; Delaware, John P. Cochrane; Massa chusetts, AVilliam Gaston; Michigan, Henry Chamberlain; Missouri, Chas. H. Hardin; Nevada, L. B. Bradley; New Jersey, Jos. D. Bedle; Now York, Sam. J. Tildcn; Tennessee, Jas. D.

Huff has been nominated i for a third term as Mayor of Ma eon. The boys and girls eat chestnuts, ground pens, crack matches and tall: out in "meetiu ’ at the Methodist chureli in Covington. Henrywjonesham, of the Macon Star, and a covv of other newspaper men were prowling around Louis ville, Jefferson comity, last week. The farmers of Newton county have corn and fodder to sell. On the , strength of this we will venture the assertion that, the Sheriff’s sales of that county will not amount to much this year. Atlanta is at a loss to know what to do with the Railroad crossing over AVliitulia.ll street. The fast people of that city will occasionally collide with tho locomotives, and the latter gener-1 ally come out victorious. —AA’e arc daily expecting to hear ft j stentorean howl from Savannah. A J motion was made in Chatham Supe rior Court 1 y week to have Aaron Alpeorri. Biaiiley expelled from prac ticing in that court. V mail who interforred with an other in rather an intimidating way whilst heating liis wife in Sa -1 vannali the other night is now in the; hands of the courts, and is supposed to ho anything else but happy. —The Macon Telegraph man is au thority for the assertion that there is a family by the name of Echols in Cobb county who were born cotton-pickers. ! One day last week papa E. picked 225 pounds, mamma E. 215 pounds, j and Willie, aged eight, 130 pounds. —George Sims, a negro murderer, , will attend liis own funeral, or liis fu -1 neral will attend him, on the 27th inst., and there will be a burial at the expense of Newton county, if some doctor don’t t ake him up at liis oiler and pay him ten dollars for his car cass. -—AA’e look for a long and racy ar ticlo from Pendleton, of the A ahlosta Timex, in his next, in regard to the base ball contest at tho match game at tho Tliomasville Fair last week. Of course lie will chronicle a “glorious victory” for the AA’ide Awakes. We’ve | got something good.on Charley con- j ! nectcd with this base ball business, ! and if he don’t behave like a pretty boy we intend tq li t it out. —Oglethorpe county is charged | with being the birth place of the au thor of the following: It is intimated that he wrote the Junius letters: “Kompliments of—- to Miss j begs leave to know if Re can lia>e. the plezurc of skortiug her kompany to the party to-night to be hell at the ! \ residence of Nov. 10th 1874 Air. Che \ ucy’s. —-Dr. Felton, the independent ean ; didate who was elected to Congress j from the Seventh District, may be a! Democrat, but it is hard to find a man who supported the regular nom inee that is willing to admit it. The Feltonites have not ceased to crow over their victory yet, but a “straight out” Democrat, whose head is level, i “took down” a crowd of them, who j were joking him the other day, when | he replied: “Well, gentlemen, you beat us in the Seventh Congressional district, but we tjice you h—II in Max- \ xach uxetlx!" —Brother Bryan, of the Thomas- ! ville Enlerprixe, is on the defensive, | and while he indirectly and'inadver tently, too, perhaps, admits that his paper is Savannah’s “champion,” he says that the business men of that city have not paid him for his “speech ; in their defence.” AVe don’t blame them; it was too weak, and the object ] which prompted it too evident. Soft soaping don’t pay in the newspaper business near as well in these days,! brother Bryan,,as it does a candidate to tell a woman, when after her lius- ‘ band’s vote, that her baby is the prettiest and smartest little thing he : I ever -saw. -Atlanta New*: “If Harris, of the j Savannah Allies,"is wise he will stop . raking Joe Brown. Harris is an “up start” and Joseph is death on “up starts.” He pronounced us one some j eighteen months ago, and threat* lied to squelch us. Let our present mel ancholy condition serve as a warning I |to Harris. Joseph is a terrible man I ,—a very terrible man, a frightfully terrible man, a prodigiously terrible man, a ferociously terrible man—on ! paper! —The Darien Gazelle nominates Hon. Julian Hartridge for the next Speaker in the House of Represeta tives, and the Savannah Advertiser, in a leader, seconds the motion. AA’e believe it is generally expected that every newspaper should remind the public that tho Congressman elect from its particular District is po ! i uliarly possessed of the requisite | qualifications for this position, but as j Gapl. Smith is a disabled cx-Confed- I crate soldier and a staunch Democrat, and as there has not been a man of his political way of thinking in the Speaker’s chair in the House of Rep resentatives since the thirty-fifth Congress, we will not “stand” our man until just before Congress convenes, for fear the Radicals might call it “in liuiidation.” GEORGIA FARMING.

[From t!io Atlanta Tlotilil. ] A It raid reporter on yesterday ( went through the books of the Secre j (ary of the late State Fair, and dis ! eoYitred some facts which will aston ; ish every reader of the Herald , and j fill the mind of every Georgian with pleasauf surprise. The facts stated ! below will furnish a complete and unanswerable argument in favor of j our State over Nebraska or Texas, or any other country on the globe. There is surely no wisdom in leaving a State ‘ where such results can be obtained. The figures we present arc official, and represent the results of (rialsfor premiums approved at the Fair. The j first three or four are not important, and •_> v*-, merely presunted in order that the list may be completed. REST .ACRE OF COHN. The premium of SSO for best acre of upland corn was given to Mr. J. L. Boynton, of Calhoun county, (la. He produced upon on one acre of upland 07 bushels ot corn, 21 bushels peas, 2100 ibs of fodder, and 1,000 lbs, of ; pen-vine liav. His net profits on the acre was $183,25. The best acre of low-land corn was cultivated by Air. Jas. M. Cox, Greene county, (fa., and produced only 81 bushels of corn. Air. Cox thinks that had it not been for a severe drought in August that he would have made over 100 bushels. Home of the ears are 11 inches long. grass ciiors. The best acre of lucerene liav was taken from a patch of 4 acres, handled by Air. K. Peters, Ja, which produced (the 4 acres) 14 tons and 200 lbs. jjiis had been planted four years. Tho best acre of native grass hay was produced by Air. D. AY. Moody, of Greene county. THE PRIZE ACRE OF COTTON. It will be remembered that last year Mr. T. C. Wart hen won the j prize for the best acre of cotton by \ producing the incredible amount of! live bales on one acre. The same pre mium was one this year by a yield of 2' bales, or 010 pounds of lint cotton. It was believed at the time that Afr. AVarthen’s yield of live bales was ac cidental. and could never be repeated. | ills friends assert, however, that had \ it not been for a terrible storm which j swept through his field this year, lie would have bcatau his last year's I work. A WCIT YIELD OF SYRUP. The premium for the best acre of sugar cane was given to Air. John J. Parker, of Tliomasville. He produced 692) gallons of pure syrup from one; acre. The gross proceeds of the acre \ was $453.10, the whole expenses $11),- i 10, leaving a net profit of $443. This is an enormous yield, and yet the for mula by which,it was accoiuidished is ( quite simple. A\*e present below the I modus aperanili: SUGAR CANE. KIND OF LAND, MODE OF CULTIVATION, MA- i NUKE, AND EXPENSES. It is second quality plain land, new ground, slightly cowpenned; was j planted last year in cotton. Broke up | deep, with a turn shovel plow, the hit- j ter part of January; laid off the rows I three feet eight inches wide, with a j small shovel plow, two furrows to the | row; cut the cane from one to two ! feet long, and dropped it nearly dou ble; then strewed about thirty bushels j killed cotton seed in the furrow on the cane, then covered the cane with a small scooter, two furrows to the row. First plowing, ran four scooter fur-; rows round the cane and finished mid-! dies with a turn shovel. Second j plowing was with a winged scoop, three and four furrows to tiie row, and j then applied thirty mole bushels cot ton seed on the sid. of the cane, gave it two more plowings with a scoup and two booings and laid it by.

John J. Parker. Sworn to before me this, October 15, 1874 Jas. P. Hardaway, N. P. T. C. RICE CROPS. On one acre of upland soil, Mr. P. H. Bower, of Thoninsville, Made 92 bushels of rice, clearing, as a net profit 8202 70. I A BOY WHO SUPPORTED HIMSELF AND MADE S6OO. For the best crop made by a boy under 21 years of age, E. C. Nesbitt, of Jonesboro, took the prize. He made by liis own labor SOSO worth of | corn, wheat, cotttoiT, etc., which he j sold, besides supporting himself. Air. Jesse K. Cox, of Greene coun ty, a boy of 10, made 55 bushels of corn on one acre, and a bale and a half of cotton on another acre. A SPLENDID ONE-HORSE FARM. On a one-horse farm, Air. J. S. Boy nton, of Calhoun county, made pro ducts that sold in gross,(for $2,940 33. The total expenses of running liis farm was $449. This left him as the clean I'net profit of the one-horse farm, $2,- : 491 33. This result cannot be beat : anywhere. Mr. AY. A\ T . Groover, of Brooks | county, on a two-horse farm, raised ! $3,217,50 worth of crops. Hisuxpen ses were SIOOS, which left him $2,012, Isoas a clear profit. This beats any business in the world. I HOW FOUR ACRES NL'PI'OUTED EIUIIT PEOPLE IN AFFLUENCE. For the premium $2lO offered for j the best support made for a family of j 8 white people off of tho smallest, number of acres, Air. .J. Cox, Greene county, won it. On 4 acres, he snp portedjliis family well and generously, giving them more to net than a city family would cat in two yen vs. This is a temple for Georgia, and we pre sent liis diseription of liow it was done It is worth reading: Your exhibitor would state that he has eight white persons iii family, viz: I Self and wife, three sons and three ; daughters; that he hires no help; that j he has selected four acres of his crop, J cultivated by himself and family the present year, from the resultsof which he bases Ins entry for the premium ill question; the said four acres being cultivated in corn, one acre of which has measured out eighty-one bushels, and presents certificates from disin terested persons, who stale that the other three acres are comparatively equally as good as the acre measured. He therefore safely estimates the tour acres at seventy-five bushels per acre y ield, or 300 bushels of corn, besides shucks, fodder, hay, etc., enumerated ! below. This, in connection with his small garden, potato and turnip pate.li- I es, not over one acre.more, makes,the land on which the result below is bas i ed, five acres.

Geo. N. Boswell, James Davidson. DRY, INDEED! An honest old farmer from the j country gave his recollections of the i hot spell as follows: “It was so dry we J couldn't spare water to put in our [ whisky. The grass was so dry that every time the wind blew it flew around like so much ashes. There wasn’t a tear shed at a funeral for a j month. The sun dried up all the cat ! tie, and burned pff the hair till they j looked like Mexican dogs, and the slieep all looked like poodle puppies, j they shrank up so. AVe had to soak ! all our hogs to.make them hold swill, and if any cattle were killed in the morning they’d be dried beef at dark. The woods dried up so that the farm ers chopped seasoned timber all through August, and there ain’t a | match through all the country—in ; fact, no wedding since the widow Glenn married old Baker three \ months ago. AA’liat few grasshoppers ! are left are all skin and legs, and 1 didn't hear avtfia-kettlo sing for six : weeks. \Yc cat our potatoes baked, ■ they being already, and we couldn’t get water to boil 'em. All am in 1 t'i *. ! rod-headed girls were afraid to stir out of tlie house in daylight. Why, ' wc had to haul water all summer to keep the ferry running, mil - snv, it's * getting dry; let’s take sutliin’.” The .fireman of the steam-heating apparatus at the Central depot yester day found a penny as he was raking over the hot ashes in the furnace, and he took- it up with the tongs anil plac ed it on a bench outside to cool off'. It had hardly commenced to coll when j a heavy man named Johnson, living in Saginaw, Came along. He was talking business with a friend, and as he. came to the bench lie parted his coat tails and sat down on the penny, remarking: “As I was saying, you Cjiu have forty acres for—whoop ! Thunder and blazes-—ynch—dash it —-gosh to whoop!” lie gallopped around in wild amazement, the hot penny sticking to him like a brother, and it was two or three minutes be fore any one found out whether he had dropped down on a tack or been bitten by a dog. There was a heavy aroma of burning cloth arid blistered * meat, and Air. Johnson stretched his arm and exclaimed that he should devote the remainder of liis life to hunting down the fiend who thus planned, to waylay him. —Detroit Free Freer. figT* The SaVamiah News has reach ed this office but one day this week. | The Alabama Legislature conven ed on last Monday, and was saluted by thirty guns at tin Capitol, D.
