Hume Papers.
Someone gets at the truth in the
following: No man who owns a foot,
of ground, or who is interesteil in the
prosperity and future growth of his
town or country, should neglect to
t ake his home paper, The local paper
is an index in a great measure of the
: condition of the country in which it
is published. Ami if a mean, dribbling
and niggardly support is given, it
must eke out a sickly, miserable exis
tence, relleeting little credit upon it
self, or auv locality in which ii is pub
lished, exerting no influence for good
I on the place or on the people.
When our people refuse to.lake
their local paper, and send away (pay
ing invaribly in advance] for some
Northern paper, made up from the
fragments of a daily paper, they stand
in their own light, and commit a folly
of which they will become cognizant
when it is probably too late to make
reparation for the oversight.
An enterprising homo paper should
he encouraged at all times, it reflects
the business of the town in which it is
published; it champions the interests
of the people where located, and gives
prestige and prominence to the coun
try of its adoption. As the record of
passing events, it is the daily written
history of the community in which it
is edited, in which every citizen is di
rectly or indirectly interested.
As the mirror of trade, the indicator
of public sentiment and the organ of
a particular locality, it deserves al
ways the first consideration at the
bauds of tho people whose interests it
champions, and whose homes it en
livens. Support your home paper

Important Decision of Ihe Nn
promo Court.
Those who are interested in the
1 Central r: Proud will be rejoiced to
learn that it has been released from
I the weighty consequences of a decis
ion of the Supreme Court, of Georgia
by the reversal of tho same in the Su
promo Court of the United States.
We copy from the Savannah Morning
New;
A dispatch from Judge Black (who
was associated with Gen. Lawton for
the railroad companies) announces
that the Supreme Court of the Lui
ted States has reversed the decision of
I the Supreme Court of Georgia, and
thus released tho Central and Soutli
| western railroads from the payment
!of the heavy tax imposed by the act
:of 1874. Tho claim of the State to
impose this additional tax on these
companies were based on the impres
sion that tlie consolidation of two
roads into one made anew charter,
anil that the new company lost the
exemption which the State contract
ed in tiro original charters to contin
ue. The question presented was of
the most serious consequence Ao the
Central railroad and its branches; and
had the decision of tho State courts
been affirmed at "Washington the an
nual tax to be paid by the Central
Liaitroad company would have jbecu
equal to the interest on a million of
dollars. X

Thij“FoubtiiEstate.”— The Athens
ll 'alchman was applied to by a corres
pondent for an explanation of the
| term “Fourth Estate” as applied to
the press, whereupon Brother Chris
ty leaks information to’tbis extent:
“Our understanding of the matter
is, that, according to the English idea
the government is entrusted to three
I estates: 1. The King. 2 The Lords
! Temporal and Lords Spiritual. 1! The
Commons. This combination is
known and reegonized the “three es
! tates of the realm.” On some impor
tant occasion, Lord Brougham we
think it was at ail events, some dig-1
tiuguished British statesman, refer-!
ring to the power of the pressdonom- j
i mated it ‘’the Fourth Estate.” It ;
j struck the popular fancy forcibly, and i
in England and this country the press j
• has since been recognized as the 1
1 “Fourth Estate.”
It was sixteen years ago this sum -
1 mor that tho Republican National
| Convention resolved ‘ That the poo
-1 pie justly view with alarm the ruck
i less extravagance which pervades ev
ery department of the Federal Gov
| eminent,; that a return to rigid econ
omy and accountability isindispousa
blo to arrest, the systematic plunder
!of tho public Treasury by favored
I partisans,” etc. "When this arraign
ment was made tho running expenses
!of the government eliaracterized as
"reckless extravagance” were about
800,000,000. For the fiscjil year end
ing June 09, 1875, the total net ex
penditure, exclusive of redemption of
| Ihe public debt, amounted to $274,-
! 029.393, or more than four and a
I half times as much as in 1860. The
Springfield lle/nddienii suggests that
’ it would show a sense of humor if the
Democrats should now convey this
plank to St. Louis verbatim. This
: fact., however, is rather one of tho ab

“Mister wlrnt part of tho country

Savainsboro, Emanuel Cos.. Ga. Xov. 2. 1874.
Mr. J. T. Cheatham. Last spring I
bought some of your line cotton seeds. I
1 iitA’e been raised Avith cotton, but yours is
beyond doubt the tiuest I have ever seen.
It has yielded one hundred end fifty pounds
to sixty-live stalks, some bolls with fifteen
locks to each boll ! I want more of the
seed. John Halls.
Miiwille, Ga., October ttd, 1874.
Mil J. T. Cheatham. I bought of
your cotton seeds last ye.; ft at $1 per hun
dred seeds. I would not take fifty cents
per seed and be without them. A man can
j make from three to seven bales of cotton
i per acre from these seeds, if lie avi 11 do his
duty. W. L. Coleman.
Sumpter, S. ('.. Sept. 4, 1875.
I hereby certify that T bought some of
Cheatham's Prolific. Cotton seed, and plant
,ed about one-third of an acre. It is the
heaviest fruited cotton I ever saw; and I ex- j
j peel to gather one bale from tho same,
I weighing live hundred pounds.
Oconee, Ga., Oct. tilth, 1875.
Mr. John T. Cheatham, P ar Sir. -The
j cotton seed Mrs. Smith bought from you to
i plant jin acre of land, bad many mishaps.
The evening aftjer planting a s vere storm
with heavy rum so parked Tho land that not
j more than one-third of the seed cairm up; it
i was. though, replanted early and the same
! misfortune of a heavy rain prevented a stand,
; and getting more seed, as you recollect,
I more seed for replanting, it was even a
1 lourth time replanted, before getting a
j stand, making great irregularity, and of
1 course with such unfavorable seasons of hot
and dry weather a?? visited us, such irregu
i larity Avonld be disastrous.
Had a good stand and propitious season
i attended Mrs. Smith's efforts with your seed, i
I we are sure the crop would have been large.
About two thousand pounds of cotton has
been picked, and Mrs, S. is greatly p’eased
with the cotton, and experiment, and pro
poses to enter in earnest for your prize for j
, the best acre of your cotton next year.
We find two varieties in your cotton, some
j prefering one, whilst others prefer the otli
; er. Your genuine twin or double boll, fruit- ;
' mg so heavily and near the stalk falls to the
| ground, which is objectionable, whilst the
j variety with more sta'lkand limbs fruits fine- j
ly, and is now standing erect, this I prefer,
whilst some condemn.
In picking the cotton, we find one hun
dred bolls weighs one and a half pounds of
cotton. The bolls are large, and.the cotton
holding in. not yielding to storms, is also a
recommendation. Yours in respect,
T. J. SMITH, i

The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking lip the line of inquiry opened years
ago by The Sun, will sternly aud dilligontly
investigate the corruption and misdeeds of
Grant's administration, and will, it is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for a now and
hotter period in our national history. Of
all this The Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early and trustworthy information
upon these absorbing topics.
Tho twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be memo
rable as deciding upon Grant's aspiration
for a third term of power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall be the can
pidate of the party of Reform, and as elec
ting that candidate. Concerning till these
subjects, those who read The Sun will have
the constant means of being thoroughly well
informed.
The Weekly Sun. which has attained a
circulation of over eight thousand copies,
already has its readers in every State and
Territory, and we trust that the year 187(5
will see their numbers doubled, it. will be
a thorough newspaper. All the general
news of the day will be found in it, condens
ed when unimportant, at full length when
of moment; aud always, we trust, treated in
a ‘clear, interesting and instructive man
ner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the
! best family newspaper in the world, and we
shall continue to give in its columns a large
j amount of miscellaneous reading, such as
stories, tales, poems, scientific intelligence
I and agricultural information, for which we
I are not able to make room in our daily edi
tion. The agricultural department especial
ly is one of its prominent features. The
j fashions are also regularly reported in its
columns; and so are the market of every
i kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages with fifty
six broad columis is only 81.20 a year,
| postage prepaid. As this price barely re-
I pays the cost of the paper, no discount can
be made from this rate to clubs, agents,
| Postmasters, or anyone.
The Daily Sun, a large fou.t page news
| paper of twenty-eight columns, gives all tlie
news for two emits a copy. Subscription
