Our Trade Issue.
On Thursday, the 7th of October,
wo propose to issue ail edition of thro’
thousand copies of the Rwoimin, to be
devoted to the trade and immigra
tion interests of Quitman anil Drooks
County. The paper will be just dou
ble its usual Bize— -fifty-sir columns—
containing forty columns of interest
ing reading matter, including the his
tory of our county, the rare induce
ments it offers to immigrants, and
short sketches of such business Hous
es and enterprises as desire to be
mentioned in it. It will bo the lar
gest, and, in fact, the only paper of
the kind ever issued from our county,
and, as an advertising medium, will
be invaluable. l!v au arrangement
which e have made with a gentle
man of position in Now York, ouo
thousand copies of this paper will bo
judiciously distributed from the emi
gration agencies of that city, and
those of our people who have land to
sell will find this a rare opportunity
to bring it into prominent not ce
Our regular advertisers will got the
benefit of this paper without extra
charge. In order to have as many
of our business houses represented as
possible, we have reduced the rates of
advertising to the following low fig
ures:
1 column $12.00
i “ 7.00
i “ 5-00
1 inch 1.00
Each advertiser in this edition will
receive a proportionate number of
copies for'dixtribution, and extra cop
ies will be furnished at five tents
each.
The cost of issuing this mammoth
paper will amount to quite a consid
eration to us, but wo trust that our
people generally will encourage us in
the undertaking, and that we may be
able to make a creditable showing
for Quitman and Brooks county.
Orders should bo sent in early, as
it will be necessary for us to put the
first page to press by the first of Oc
tober.

that the editor has been engaged iu
writing up the history of Brooks
county and Quitman, and in can
vassing for advertisements for our
mammoth trade issuo next week,
the Bepoutkh docs not contain its
■usual amount of original and local
matter this week. That trade issue
will make up for it all, however.

Our Country Correspondent.
Dear Reporter: Is it true, that as J
a general thing the people, East,
West, North, South, are growing
worse mofally. One thing is noticea
ble, the papers now record more in
stances of crimes, and outrageon 8 ,
crimes, such ns murders, robories, |
thefts, arsons, rapes, seductions and
the like, than they ever recorded be
fore. Whether there ho really more
crimes committed, proportioned to
the whole population, or whether the
increased facilities for the transmis
sion of nows puts the news seeker in
possession of more cases, or whether
it is a morbid sensibility in the public
mind which induces news papers to
seek after such more eagerly than be
fore is a question not easily answered.
But so it is. More are published, and
the publications we think tire correct to
an extent far beyond tho demand of
either good taste or sound morals.
It does seem that “bad things” are j
more eagerly-sought after, and more
: eagerly read by tho mass of readers,
j than the things that are good, and
I wo have about concluded that those
who desire to live in comparative ob
j scurity and escape an unenviable no
| torioty, can best do so by living hon
i est, upright, faithful, Christian lives.
| If some minister, who was from the
first nothing more than a wolf in
| sheeps clothing, exhibit bis true char
| acter by indulging his unrenewed nn
j ture in the commission of some crime
|or crimes, forthwith it is noised
1 abroad all over the land. Almost
| everybody reads of it. But another
minister, who is really a friend, who
| patiently, pcrsevcringly and without
: ostentation fears God ami works
righteousness, does justly, loves mercy
i and walks humbly with his God, may
pass along for weeks, and months and
years, unnoticed and unknown bc
! yond a very limited circle. Nothing
i is said about him, and seemingly very
i few care for him. So it is in other
departments of life. An honest, faith
ful public servant, either in the legis
lature or executive department of
! government, attracts little or no at
| teution, while the scoundrel who steals
| thousands becomes at once notorious,
j Grime and criumals should be expos
ed and punished, but we donotclear
ily perceive the necessity of filling so
largo a space as is sometimes occn
i pied in the papers with details which
! are often nauseating in the extreme;
I °
and the people have read so much of
them as to vitiate and impair, if not
destroy their zest for what is pure
and good. But while these evil prac
tices are continued, and so much is
said about them, there is at the same
time much good being done. Thou
sands of good deeds are performed,
of which little is known and less said.
I Good words, and good deeds are
| scattered here, and there, that will,
slowly it may bo, but surely, like
| seeds spring up and bare fruit, and
I sooner or later the (rue and the good
! will surely prevail. So let all who
! desire their prevalence, work on, la
j bor on, toil on, and if need be suffer
! on, and it will all be for the best in
the end. Tho wheat and the tares
] grow together in this life, but at the
| end they shall be separated, the tares
i shall bo bound in bundles to burn,
| but the wheat shall be gathered and
the Angels shout, harvest homo.

From the Graphic, Grant organ :
The bloody shirt has been waved
once too often already. Mr. Blaine
and Mr. Morton shook it in the face
of the voters of Maine, and the demo
crats polledi 2,000 more votes. It scares
the wrong way. The buli runs away
j from the rod rag. That public, senti
| ment favors recouiliation is a settled
| fact, and to reopen the question now
happily closed would be fatal to the
i party that should attempt. The
| country is interested in questions of
, reform and finance and administra
tion, of public improvement and the
j development of the resourses of the
I nation, and will not be diverted by
j the tricks of politicial resurrectionists.
The sooner this fact is understood
the better for everybody, and the
president’s letter shows that lie per
fectly comprehends the situation and
is prepared to moot it.
Tub Cuthbert Appeal is glad “to
learn that it is the intention of many
Grangers in this country to attend
the State Fair in Macon next month,
in a body. It is proposed to carry
tents, cooking utensils, bedding, etc.,
and camp upon tho grounds. Cap
tain B. J. Smith, who has been ap
pointed by our Council to ascertain
the number that will probably join
in tho move, informs us that the sug
gestion meets with tho hearty en
dorsement from Grangers, generally,
and that a large numbe have enrolled
their names. Whole granges from
Calhoun county will thus visit the
Fair, and wo hope our brethren from
Clay and Quitman will be largely rep
resented.
Atlanta is running Chicago a tight

Tin* Rower of the Governor.
Under this heading tho man who
builds the “leaders” for tho Atlanta
Herald is gulitv of manufacturing the
following, which wo copy for tho pur
pose of giving it our hearty indorse
ment. We wish it could bo read by
every man in tho country. There are
a good many in this suction of the
State who will know how to appre
ciate it.
A writer of some force, and evi
dently of much experience in political
matters, is writing a series of letters
to tho Augusta Chronicle and Senti
nel, on tho subject of the necessity
for a State Convention. While it
must be evident to the most careless
mind that “Tullius” (for this is the
nam tie plume under which our wri
ter travels) is engaged in a hopeless
work, he is making some points that
are entitled to consideration.
His last letter is devoted to the dis
cussion of the office of Governor, lie
objects to tho immense “appointing”
power that is vested in this office. In
this we think he is right. As matters
are at present constituted, there is
entirely too much patronage concen
trated in tho hands of the Governor.
There has been a terrible absorption
of tho the elective rights of the peo
ple, and a proportionate aggrandize
ment of the power of oue man. There
is no necessity for this course; hardly
any rational reason for it, if we except
the cases of tho Supreme Court
J udges.
With tho right to appoint the
Judges of the Superior Courts, the
Solicitor Generals of sixteen circuits,
and a hundred or so Justices of the
Peace, the Governor has in his hands
an influence, so diffuse and yet so
strong, that it absolutely imperils the
i freedom of popular choice. I.ct us
suppose that a Governor desires to
perpetuate himself in power. There
; are sixteen Judges, and sixteen So
' licitoTH, many of them formerly poli
ticians, who have their appointments
direct from his hands, and who visit
every county in the State twice or
j three times a year, in an official ca
! paeitv, and remain generally a week
jat a time in each county. They are
! brought in contact with tho court
i house clique that in eight counties
| out of teu control the county nomina-
I tion. They arc brought into intimate
| relationship with the Clerk, the Or-
I dinary, and the Tax Collector and
| Deceiver; a coterie that usually Ims a
! great deal to say in the choice of
| county delegates to State conventions.
Now, if these judges and solicitors
| are disposed to exercise themselves in
j behalf of the re-election of tho Gov
ernor from whom their appointment
! comes, it is impossible to estimate
I the influence they may have
|in controlling the make-up of.
a State convention. When to this
I power is added the six or eight jus
! tices of the peace in each county, who
are almost always active politicians
and who invariably attend, and gen
erally superintend all primary clcc-
I tions, it may be seen that a Governor
j of Georgia, may so arrange as to have
j the power of repeating his own reign
I or of nameiug his successor.
We desire to disclaim any personal
reference in these remarks. \\ e
! have no idea that our present Gov
] ernor desires a re-election. Indeed,
it is our opinion that he will not again
| offer his name. If he were to do so,
| we doubt if there is a single Judge on
the bench who would so soil his er
mine, or a single Solicitor who would
so misuse his office, as to peddle him
! self about among the people, and in
j trigue with small politicians. But it
!is against tho possibility of the fu
i ture that we argue. A bad and un-
I scrupulous man may be elected to our
I highest office. He may prostitute his
• prerogatives by appointing to office a
myriad of creatures tliat be can use at
his pleasure. Whenever this man
docs come, .ard whenever lie does put
his political pimps in power, the peo
ple will find it precious hard to un
seat him.
Tiie power of the Governor has
been very much enlarged in the past
four years. He has, besides the pre
rogatives alluded to above, the right
to appoint hundreds of officers that
need not be enumerated ; but among
others, he tills the Agricultural Bu
reau, the Geological Bureau, and ap
points tho inspectors of oils and fer
tilizers. In addition to all this, the
term of tho Governor iias been
changed from two to four years. Al
together, tho Governor of Georgia,
whoever he may bo before he is elect
ed, becomes an immeaesurably im
portant person,.after he is once seat
ed in office. And in view of the pos
sibility that the chair now so worthi
ly and gracefully filled, may at some
time hold tho form of a usurping
demagogue, we think it is quite time
for tho people to cast about for some
method of curtailing the power
that would devolve upon him.
There is trouble in New Orleans
i again about mixing the schools. The
j seniors of the boys’ high school left
! in a body because a colored teacher was
placed over them—and the Bulletin
counsels all tho boys to quit the
school unless the cause of complaint
i3 removed; but the Times thinks
they should bear the wrong with pa
tience until it can be righted in some
other and more satisfactory way.
The Bulletin shows the enormity of
the evils to which the white people
are compelled to submit, when it tells
us that the population of New Or
leans is 115,721 whites to 57,647 ne
groes, and yet the school board con
sists of nine negroes, with Piuchback
at their head, to eight whites, headed
by General Longstreet. It is highly
probable tliat after the next election,
which takes place next year, the com
position of this school board will be
changed, and the white people will
then have a chance.

Editor Reporter: Inspite of pub
lic and private lectures, parental
prayers and tears, the appeals of cou
scienco and the retributions of eterni
ty, intcnipornnco is tho curse of the
American people. It leaves the se
cret haunts of vice, and enters the i
mechanic’s shop, the merchant’s store,
the lawyer’s office, tho editor’s sanc
tum, and the clergyman’s studio, de
moralizing professional honor, and
destroying the very standards of pub
lic virtue. Not satisfied with degrad
ing tho finest talent in tho city, it
seeks the best places in the country,
enters the quiet retreats of the farm- i
er’s residence, and wastes both his |
substance and his happiness. The
speedy ruin of house and land, of
stock and servants, of wife and eliil- [
dren proves the truth of the notori- 1
ous proverb tliat “driukihg mean
whiskey makes a man mean.” Por
tions of water mixed with alcohol,
stramonium, belladonna, nuxvomiea,
or any other virulent poison, injures
the health, debases tho mind, stulti
fies manhood, and makes the hero of
youthful promise lie, or steal, or mur
der.
AVho that is informed on the sub
ject believes that (hero is one barrel
of pure whiskey for sale to every
county in a Elate\\ ho does not
know that most of our business bous
es from the lowest bar room to the
highest drug store depend largely for
success upon the sale of adulterated
liquors? A house that keeps none
to sell, or none to give in appearance,
or none to use in any other way for
I the purpose of making money, would
J be an anomaly in our degenerate day.
And tho miserable victim who drinks
! his liberal treat worth ten cents a gal
lon without paying, in one form or
another, a hundred per cent in actu
al dollars and cents, and a still high
er profit in things of far more value
: than bank notes or title deeds, would
|be a much greater anomaly. If the
I honest fanner, the bone and sinew of
' our country, really knew the enor
! mous amount of poison annually con
sumed by the mercantile makers and
] venders of these noxious draughts, it
would be worth more to his health
j and purse, and the peace and pros
perity of his whole family than if he
could si ll his produce for more than
! twice its ordinary value. If com
pounds of tannin, opium, fusil oil,
1 Ac., are retailed to customers in our
j finest hotels at almost fabulous prices,
w hat is the nature of the decoctions
i which the merchants give to him in
large quantities? llow little does lie
j dream of danger when the best clerk
' in the house unites him in, leads him
lo take a social glhss before his cotton
, is weighed or his groceries bought!
1 How soon laud washes, orchard
blights, house decays, and wife and
child wear rags and shed tears, when
; husband and father reels and staggers
under delirium, tremens, and blas-
I phonies and dies under the fatal
I effects of iutoxieat.ng drugs!
Much cases are very numerous.
I They abound in almost every neigh
j borhood. Marks of their existence
j may be seen from all our best tippling
j stores to the meanest abodes of shame
1 and misery. Had tho lying tomb
i stone a tongue of historic truth the
living would stand aghast in the pres
ence of dead drunkards. Blood and
j tears would role in smoking floods be
| fore the eyes of terrified legislatures.
Frightened counts would hang crimi
nals to save life* But how are these
| tribunals to be sufficiently alarmed to
jdo their duty ? How are we to do
| away with tlie necessity for so many
j prisons, hospitals,' lunatic asylums,
j and other institutions of social evil ?
How are we to supply their places
j with tanneries, foundries, schools,
colleges, churches, and other institu
tions of public good? Not by an oc
casional sermon from a minister,
;or an article from)a newspaper cor
respondent, but by every man who
fells any interest in tho welfare of his
country using all the means in his
power to put a final period to tlie use
| of intoxicating drinks.
1 lie labor, hue opus csl. Every fam
ily' keeps it in case of sickness. It is
considered indispensable in taking
nearly all kinds of medicine. Hardly
a doctor ever fails to prescribe it for
every infirmity' of mind and body.
Men of every ago and color, grade
and talent, faith and order defend it
both by precept and example. Over
the ignorant and the wise, the weak
and the powerful, the subject and the
: ruler, this autocyiit wields a deadly
| scepter. Millions Hud a grave under
his fatal admiiiistriition. A thousand
die by his treatment to one saved.
How aro we to save the thousand and
let the one go? How stop the sex
ton’s spade, the funeral baud, tlio sobs
and groans of women and children?
How wreathe their faces with smiles,
their homes with festoons of joy, and
tho nation’s shrines with garlands of
wealth and honor ? By putting a
final period, as we have already re
marked, to the very existence of this
great enemy of our peace. His abso
lute destruction is our only means of
safety. Bury him where his nefarious
deeds will never be forgotten. Write
on bis unworthy tombstone “Death is
an eternal sleep.”
