The South To He Sought.
Our representative* in Congress
have ngrced upon a plan, which if
carried out., will doubtless make the
South, afl it should be, tho richest
and most independent country that
the sun shines upon.
Tho plan is to introduce a bill ask
ing Congress to admit into the South
ern States, free of duty, for a num
ber of years, from foreign countries,
all cotton manufacturing machinery,
and otherwise encourage manufactur
ing industries in tho South. There
are various machinery used for man
ufacturing our great staple in France
and England that are very necessary
to make complete factories.
The Southern States should encour
ago the move by enacting that no
capital employed In cotton or woolen
factories 6hall be subject to taxation
for the next fifty years to come.
This would encourage the capital
ists of the North to invest very large
ly South, and in fact within fifty
years all or nearly of the cotton pro
duced in the South would be con
verted into fabrics here. Only think
T>f it, suppose only two millions of
bales were manufactured here, what
an amount of labor and capital would
bo dispersed over the country. What
an amount would be saved in the
transportation of the raw material ;
how much cheaper cotton can be had
here, than elsewhere. How much
better our climate is adapted to man
ufacturing than any other country
where it is carried on. Here steam
cin be made at less than half the ex
pense that it can in the North, or
elsewhere. Aud in portions of the
South, there are as tine water pow
ers as can he found in the known
world, Showing evidently that in
course of time this is to become the
great manufacturing centre of the
world. Then let 11s take courage,
and in every way known to the best
wisdom of our land encourage the
consummation of so desirable an end.
In addition, all of the unemployed
labor of the country would be brought
into active employment. Lands would
become valuable; homes would be
adorned and beautified; and money
would always he plentiful. “ Let us
hope on, hope ever.”
Hon. Warren Aiken lias written a
letter in favor of a convention, and
gives the following as soroo of the
changes which he desires made in the
Constitution:
Ist. He would abolish the Senate
altogether and do away with it as a
nuisance.
2d. He would cut up the State into
fifty districts and allow two represen
tatives from each district, making
One hundred members in all, and fix
their pay at §3,00 per clay, and have
no counties represented at all.
3d. He would have the Superior
Court to legislate for the counties,
4th. He would have the Supreme
Court appoint the Judges and Solici
tors.
sth. He would elect a Governor ev
ery two .tears and make him ineligi
ble for re-election, so as to give all
the great uieu a chance to be Gov
ernor.
Gth. He would permit the legis
lature to convene but once in two
years, and sit only twenty days.
7th. He would not prohibit the
State and Counties nnd towns from
issuing bonds for any purpose what
ever.
Bth. He would abolish all lien laws
nnd let the laborer nud mechanic
take his chances ot getting his bread
in the Court House.
We give it as our opinion that
there will be no serious embarass
rrrents in consecpionce of the war in
tbs East except it he upon the price
of cotton, next fall.
This portion of the State lias put
herself in order by long since provid
ing a plenty of the necessaries of
life, and is to day independent, or
measurably so. "The all cotton ma
nia,” having never' taken possession
of the planters, they adhering to a
line of policy pursued by their fa
thers before the day of railroads, to
raise everything that is needful for
the support of man ami beast.

Atlanta, Oa., May 1, 1877.
Editok Repoutku : I had purposed
to send you an account of the recent
meeting of tho Georgia Baptist State
Convention immediately upon its ad
journment, but the presence of com
pany and other engagements have
prevented my doing so until now,
and must therefore content myself
with giving my impressions without
going into details. I will say first of
all that it was, in many respects, the
best convention that has been held
for years. Tfie representation was
largo and general; tho speeches were
fine, the sermons (vote excellent, and
tne spirit whs admirable.
The two most important enterprises
inaugurated were the formation of n
State Committee for the purpose Of
conducting our o\v a missionary and
Sunday-school work, and tho adop
tion of a Female Seminary of high
grade, to bo located at Gainesville.
Tbo Mission Committee lias full
power to collect funds, appoint ageuts,
evangelists and missionaries, and as
far as possible supply the destitution .
in our own bounds.
The former Sunday-school Evan
gelist was at once re-appointed, and a
Corresponding Secretary was elected.
Lev. J. G. Gibson was selected to fill
the latter nosition, but it is not yet
known that lie will accept. Mr. G. is
not generally known to the denomi
nation, but is a man of great force,
and is well qualified for the position.
He is one of the best preachers in the
State, and is remarkable ior bis exec
utive ability'. His sermon preached
before the convention placed him at
once in the front rank of onr ablest
brethren. Your correspondent lias
known him for some time, and has
always found him a ready co-worker,
and feels sure that ho will make a
splendid officer.
The Female Seminary, of which
mention has been made above, is to
be built, equipped and run without
involving the convention in any finan
cial obligation; it will simply be under
the direction and control of tbo body,
and will have its moral support and
prestige. To many brethren this ac
tion of the convention was of doubt
ful propriety', and the writer has some
fears that trouble will result from it.
Time will show.
The amount of contributions sent
ui) was larger than last year, not
withstanding the “hard times,” and
the contributions during tlie session
were unusually liberal. Among the
various contributions made, I take
i special pleasure in mentioning that
! given to our venerable and beloved
\ father in Israel, Dr. Joseph Baker, of
your town. I am sure that I re
sponded to no call more cheerfully
than to this, 'ihe convention, by a
formal resolution, sent through Rev.
N. A. Bailey cordial and affectionate
greetings to Dr. B. and wife along
with the contribution. May the God
of all grace abundantly bless them
both, and supply them with Christian
comfort and peace iu the few remain
ing days of their earthly pilgrimage,
and vouchsafe to them a rich fore
taste of tho joys of the heavenly
world.
Southwestern Georgia was ably
represented by Rev. Messrs. Mcßride,
Peeples, Bailey and Ganlden, of your
immediate section —all good brethren
and well beloved. I was sorry that
we did not have E. B. C., J. M. R.,
W. B. B. and others that were ex
pected to be present. I wonder why
they did not cornel Was it because
of pressing engagements, or—well,
what is the word, impeeuniosih/? I
hope not the latter. Tell them they
missed “a feast of reason and a flow of
soul.” It is hoped and believed that
the impetus and enthusiasm of the
convention will be felt for mouths to
come.
The latest Atlanta sensation was
the decoration of the graves of the
Confederate dead. It passed oil' with
the usual eclol, and served to bring
back to memory many of the painful
reminiscences of the late terrible con
test. A touching episode connected
with the event was the presentation
of several beautiful garlands by some
of tho Federal officers stationed at
this post. Tho speech of Mr. Van
Epps was in the usual style, and
elicited expressions of commendation
from those who 1 heard if. I should
not forget to say that, owing to the
inclement weather, the exercises were
postponed from the 20th to tho 28th.
The chief topic of conversation on
tho streets and in business circles iff
the recently inaugurated war between
; Russia and Turkey, an dottle conse
quent rapid upward tendency of the
j provision market and tho downward
; tendency of the cotton market.■•'Must
| to think of it, Hour at $ '•h >er barrel
and rising! Whew! What is to be
corae of poor editors and preachers ?
One effect in cmr own family was the
absence of any kind of wheat diet at
j supper to-night f I do hope that
J peace will be made very soon, or that
liour will fall, or that our fondness
for this article of food wilt subside.
There was a rumor in' ffAvn to-day
that there was to be n election in
reference to certain bonds, bpt no
oxtta carriages were seen ow the
streets, and no extra money pawl out
for whiskey, and not the' slightest
evidence of any special offi-rfc at elec
tioneering. I wonder if this can be
said when tho time comes to Vote on
the convention question ! I will let
you know.- V.
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
THE PRESIDENT IS TO VISIT'
NEAV YORE.
RANDALL (N THE LEAD FOR THE
Si’EAKERSHII*.
Take the Troops Away Reduction in
the Force District Affairs, Etc.
[From Oar Own Correspondent. 1
'Washington, May 4, 1877.
The President has agreed to visit
New York beforo the meeting of Con
gress in extra session, and it is be
lieved preparations will bo made for
such a reception as has hardly ever
been accorded to any man. The par
tisans of the President have a great
battle to fight whenever the policy of
the administration comes before the
people at the polls, or is discussed iu
Congress, and they will naturally at
tempt to show in advance what the
chief city of the country can do at a
reception.
Nothing has occurred to indicate
the loss by Itandall of his lead in
the Speakership contest. While his
friends do hot claim an absolute cer
tainty, lliey feel that it will be next
to impossible to unite as many votes
in caucus on any other man as on
him. Among Republicans speculation
as to a candidate has almost ceased.
There is no doubt Garfield or Banks
} will have tho comfort of being de-
feated by the Democratic candidate.
The complete removal of the army
from South Carolina aud Louisiana
ought to bo insisted on before the
House votes a dollar of army appro
priation. The President may be de
termined at this time not to use
troops iu the political affairs of those
States, but all danger of his or his
possible successor doing so may be
removed by sending tho troops else
where. The like danger does not
exist in any other State.
A considerable reduction of the
force has also many advocates, in
eluding the President, and of course
many administration men. Besides
the danger of improper use, the ex
pense of the present organization is a
strong argument for reduction.
It is probable that on the first day
of the extra session, or as soon as the
President’s message is read and re
ferred, a test question will be sub
mitted so as to decide whether any
business but the army appropriation
bill shall he considered. If the
administration is confident of its
strength, it will insist on restricting
business to that one subject.
Onr District government is about
to contract for the removal of a large
amount of the wooden pavement laid
by the late board of public works, aud
the laying in place of it of stone and
concrete pavements. The experiment
of Washington with wob'd pavements
has been a costly one, atnl has demon
strated satisfactorily to every citizen
their complete failure to withstand
even light travel.
Speaking of this District, it is grat
ifying to be able to say that President
Hayes promises to appoint onr own
citizens to office. Unlike any other
community in the country, we are de
prived of the right to vote, and it is
not unreasonable to ask that our of
ficers, if we cannot ourselves elect
them, shall be of our own people.
Grant’s plan was to make the District
a hospital for decayed politicians.
One of the hopes that Mr. Tilden’s
friends had was that the same ad
ministrative ability he had shown in
I New York, to the great advantage of
I
that State, would be exhibited when
! he came to reorganize the offices here.
j ,
| He failed to receive the office to which
he was elected, and it may he too
much to expect from Hayes that lie
will do all that Tilden would have
done; hut the friends of the adminis
tration continue to promise the re
moval of all inefficient bureau officers
and the appointment of better men in
their place. So far as bureau re
formation is concerned, a thorough
change under Hayes, if made as he
says all changes rhonhl ho made,
would he as beneficial to the public as
any other. Nemo.
The cotton gin created a revolution
in the cost and production of this
important fleece, Recently another!
invention has been patented which |
may product: almost as marked an :
effect ns the cotton gin. It is the!
picker. It is a wagon-like machine, j
which is driven through the ripened
fields and picks clean every scrap of j
cotton, and nothing except cotton, i
and saves the labor of one hundred j
hands, Where the price of the sta- 1
pie may go to with this invention in 1
general i>se it is impossible to fathom.
The machine is a North Carolina
affair, and is said to do good work.
You can set it down as a fixed fact
that the men who advertise their
goods are the men to deal with. It
not only evinces a liberal spirit, but
they invite you to call and examine
their prices and quality of goods to
show you that they desire to deal
with you on the square. —Dundridge

A Suggestion to Hie Cotton Plan
ters of the South.
In oitr issues of April 15th and 24th,
and May Ist, we gave the cotton plan
ters of the South what we considered
sonio important advice in reference to
the selection of crops for the present
season, and we are gratified to learn
that it has been very generally ap
proved by all of our business men,
who keep apace with tho important
tide of events.
The prospect of a general war in
Europe is becoming a serious mutter
to tho cotton planting interests of the
South for. although a great deal is
said about the sidvatitagos Which are
to accure to the agricultural and me
chanical industries of the country
from the war, nil of which may be
true of the Northern and Western
States, nothing but disaster and loss
is in store for the cotton growing
States should the war become gen
eral.
Fortunately, however, it is not too
late for the planters in the South to
pursue a course which will place then
in a safe position in any event. At
this time cotton is selling in New
York for future delivery during the
Fall months at prices which wili not
net tile planters at homo over eight
cents per pound for their crops
through.
With this state of affairs in view,
does it not behove the planters of the
South to change their tactics, arid de
vote a large portion of the land (ire
pared for cotton to corn and other
grains. It would, we believe, pay
them batter to plow up the cotton
already planted, and substitute ce
reals, for they can buy cotton in New
York now, for delivery, much cheaper
than they can possibly produce it,
Should the great Powers in Europe
I become involved in a long war, as
! many believe they undoubtedly will,
|they could then procure a cheaper
crop of cotton than they could raise,
and at the same time secure war pri
! ees for their grains.
The recent heavy advances in bread
stuffs and provisions clearly indicate
that ill case of a ge-nei'al war the mon
ey crops of this portion of the count
ry, for a year or two at least, will bo
grains and provisions, and cotton
will have to take a back scat.
We have previously suggested that
the Governors of the Southern States
issue proclamations calling upon the
people to make their [limitations seif
sustaining, aud we are pleased to see
that the Commissioner of Agriculture
of the State of Georgia lias issued a
circular to the planters of that State
warning them of the threatened dan
ger, and urging them to’make largely
of food crops.— Norfolk Land mark.

Circulitr to th Farmers.
Depautmknt of Aohiculturk,
Atlanta, Ga., May 53, 1877.
To the Farmers of Georgia:
In view of the war in Europe, and
tho probable scarcity and high prices
of breadstuff's aud low price of cotton
which will prevail, I again respect
fully advise that you will, by every
means in your power, increase tin
area planted iu provision crops. 1
suggest checking your fields ot cotton
with corn in rows fifteen to twenty
feet apart, one hill at every intersec
tion. WRli fair seasons, this will
very largely increase the product of
corn, without a corresponding de
crease of the cotton.
I further suggest the planting of
the stubble fields in peas so soon as
the wheat and oats shall have been
harvested. Bay special attention to
the raising every pound of pork pos
sible. Take care of the pigs.
These suggestions are not designed
to alarm or to create a sensation. A
word to the wise is sufficient. “A
prudent limn foreseeth the evil and
hideth himself, but tbo simple pass
on aud are punished.” Respectfully,
Thomas B, Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
The Nicholls government is in full
possession of Louisiana; all is quiet,
and matters are moving smoothly.

THE
Atlanta Constitution.
| UNDER ITS NEW MANAGEMENT,
Titi: Atlanta Constitution has won
for itself tilt title of the leading journal of
the South. Its enterprise, during the re
cent election excitement, in sending corre
spondents to different portions of the conn*
try, and its series of special telegrams from
Washington while the electoral commission
was engaged in consummating the fraud that
placed Radicalism once more in power in
our national councils, are evidences con
spicuous enough *o prove that no expense
will be spared to make the Constitution not
only a leader iu the discussion of matters of
public concern, but a leader in the dissemi
nation of the latest aud most reliable news.
There is no better time than now to sub
scribe for a fresh and vigorous newspaper.
Albeit, there Iris been a quasi settlement
of one of the most difficult and dangerous
problems of modern federal politics, the
discussions springing therefrom and the re
sults likely to ensue have lost nothing of
their absorbing interest. In addition to this,
the people of Georgia ate flow called upon to
settle the convention iptestion, and . in the
dissension of this important subject (in
which the Constitution will take a leading
part) every Georgian is interested. If a
convention is called its proceedings will
find their earliU f and fullest embodiment in
the columns of the Constitution, aud this
fact alone will make the paper indispensable
to every citizen of the State. To be brief .
Tire Atlanta Daily Constitution
will endeavor, by all tho means that the
progress of modern journal made
possible and necessary, to holoUPiPplaee as a
leader of Southern opinion arifT as a pur
veyor of the latest news. Its editorials will
be thoughtful, timely and vigorous calm
and argumentative in their methods and
thoroughly Southern and Democratic in
their sentiments. Its news will he fresh,
reliable and carefully digested. It will be
alert and enterprising, and no expense will
he spared to make it the medium of the latest
and most important intelligence.
The Weekly (hmstilutioii/
Besides embodying everything of interest
in the daily, the Weekly Constitution will
contain a Department of Agriculture, which
will he in charge of Mr. Malcolm Johnson,
the well-known Secretary of the. Georgia
State Agricultural Society. This depart
ment will be made a specialty, and will be
thorough and complete. The farmer will 1
find in it not only all the current informal

yy-E ARE CONSTANTLY In receipt of a great many
inquiries from all parts of this State and Florida, where we do not advertise,
so that we find it almost impossible to answer each inquiry separately. Wo
now take this method to explain to the readers of THE REPORTER ail
the particulars necessary for them to know. Iu a very short time wo will
publish in this paper as COMPLETE A PRICE LIST AS IS POSSIBLE.
We now call your especial attention to this:
1. Wo will send samples to any one who will write ns for them, with
prices attached, provided a 3 cent postage stamp is enclosed and every urti
ole mentioned which parties desire, and Can be sampled; but do not write
us to send yon Samples of everything, for that is impossible. Write us for
samples of such goods only as yon have a notion of purchasing. Remember
also, samples only give an idea of what the goods al'e, but do not give the
article full justice.
2. Do not have liny hesitancy in ordering tho goods yon want, for wo
guarantee every article to come up to sample, and if unsatisfactory', it can
be relumed to us at our erpenre, and we will rr/uud the money.
3. Should any article turn out unsatisfactory, which might occur
through an oversight or otherwise, do not prejudge us of having done -so
intentionally, but give us the benefit of the doubt, and before returning it,
write us your complaint, so that, if possible, we might arrange matters
satisfactorily, without the trouble and expense of returning.
4. Calicoes we cannot always natch in
the pattern, as we sell large quantities of
goods and it is impossible to keep every
pattern for any length of (ilfu*. Such and
similar goods we guarantee to fill, by giving
the same quality, and as near the pattern as
possible.
• f >. We ask is rt favor ; that parties order* -
ing goods be very particular in writing then*
name and shipping point in plain letters, to
avoid mistakes; also, to make their order
as definite its possible, especially on articles
of which samples cannot be sent, we would
ask to give us a limit in the price, to enable
us to form a proper idea of what the article
is to be:
A. Whenever it is possible, we prefef
the money to accompany the order, but we
Will send the goods C. O. D. (cash on de
livery) by Express, and if requested, we will
Instruct the agent to open the package tot
Examination before paying for it.
7. We do not sell on credit under any
Consideration. If previously arranged, we
will take a cotton factor’s acceptance in
payment.
8. Do not order any goods unless you
have the money ready to pay for them.
9. We prepay the freight on all orders
amounting to twenty dollar# or over. This
is the very best wo can do, for our profit is
so slight (as we retail our goods at wholesale
prices) that we cannot afford to do better.
We admit there arc houses who pay freight
on ten dollars worth of goods, but common
sense teaches plainly that their profit must
be larger than ours, or else they could not
afford to do it, and, therefore, in tuch cases,
♦he part}’ ordering the goods of such a house
pays the freight after all—only indirectly
Wo have endeavored to he ns honest and candid in our statements ns tho
language at our command can do it, and if this fails to convince, we do not
know what can.
Wo hold ourselves legally responsible to carryout tho above assertion#
and consider this n binding contract, entered upon by ns freely and volun
tary, and aflirm it herewith by our signature.
