Carton, Ga., I
April El, 1880* f
P. 8 Moseley, Eeq., Home, Ha.,
Dear Sir.—Your note of the litb
iue<. f hue been received in urhioh you
.'Of, "There ie u decided end strong
leelttig here for you to be the Dmio
crutio stuudurd bearer for Congress
■ his lull.'
And you request me to write you,
and lei you know whether or not 1
will consent to the use of my name
hi tliut oouneotton if nominuted by
the convention.
In reply I have to soy that |he
twine reasons which caused me U re
fuse to permit the uee ot my name
before the Democratic convention at
Kmrfgold in 1878 still exist und make
it improper for me to be aoandidaio.*
I fee) profoundly grateful to the pro*
pie ol your besmtifnl sud growing
city for this expression of their con-
fldeuce und esteem ; bat 1 would trel
prouder if 1 could but feel ihut I woe
worthy of suoh honor from so intellr*
gent, virtuous und enterprising peo*
pie.
Permit me to suy in conclusion
thut while it is true that the Demoo*
racy of this district bus been greatly
demoralised, tod we hove suffered
delete it the pur in oousequenW of
it yet I do not feel disoonruged. There
are u greut many good men—-Inteflf-
gent und patriotic men—who are st
heart true democra's, who, by the
force of circuuistanoes, were carried
off with the independent movement
for the time, who are not going to
abandon the party or its liute honored
principles; whose good sense cannot
tail to teach them that tbs party can
not be kept together, or its principles
iiiHiuiaiiied without organization. If
we tieat these men right, and s'snd
firmly and unflinchingly by the prin
ciples for which the Democracy of
this country has always contended,
ihey will unite with us again, and the
party in the 7ih will wheel into line,
and take the place to which she is
entitled, at the heud of the Georgia
column as the banner district of the
Slate. Truth is a greut power which
cannot fuil sooner or later to win be
fore such u tieople.
Very truly yours,
James R. Brown.
It is to be regretted that Col.
Browu, who has the respect and con
fidence of the Democratic party ol
the 7th district, finds that he will not
be able, from causes that existed two
years ago, to bear the standard of the
party through the fall campaign.
While there are some, who, from a
mistaken idea that he was the candi
date of u ‘‘clique or a ring" might
vote against him, it would not be
from any cause arising from his polit
ical or moral integrity, lor none can
doubt either. We have known Col.
Brown long and well. No man ever
doubted his uprightness of character
or fidelity to the principles he has
e-poused, ever since he entered upon
the field of politics. It is greatly to be
ivgetted hie inability, from private
considerations, to lead the Democrat
ic hosts of the seventh to victoiy this
tali.

A lying witness will often tell u

Attorney S.—"You my that James

Witness referring to his book—
"Yes.”
S.—"What did he do on the 30ib?"
W.—“He chopped wood."
8.—"On th- 3Lt?»
W.—"That was Sunday, and we
went sqmrrell hunting.’'
S.—"What did he do on the 32nd?"
W.—"He thrashed wheat."
S.—"What did he do on the 33d?"
W.—“Ji was raining, and he shaved

S.—“What did lie do on the 34th?"
W.—"He chopped wood."

Orchard QrwM
I havs sown .orchard grass seed in
ths fall and iu the spring, aud al
ways with good results. The seed is
light, weighing from thirteen to four
teen pouuds per bushel, aud ham
two to three bushels per aors is the
f iroper amount. I have been success
ul with one bushel per sere. As to
iis value, tner*» srsuts to In* a wule d
versity of opinion ; some place it far
ia advance of either timothy or clo
ver for hay, or the natural grasaes
for pasture. It is very likely that
thfcae carry it too far, as is npt to bs
the cats with other good things. The
moat objection 1 have to it is ths faot
that for hay it must be sown alone,
hr no other kind of gross ieviprwoon
enough to be cut with it. Aud it
often grows in bn itches with bare
spaces between. For early and late
K usture it has few equals. It starts
efore uuy other glass in the spring
and will make good feed faster a frost.
For the Inst three or four years I
mowed mine the 8th or 9th of June.
At that time it makes splendid hay.

—Practical
How to Judge a Horae.
The folUwiog simple rules will bv
found useful to all parties about to
buy a horse:
1. Never lake the seller’s word ; if
dishonest he will be certain to clteut
you ; if disposed to be fair, he may
ituve been the dupe ot another, and
will deceive you through representa
tions which cannot be relied upon.
2. Never trust to a horse's mouth
as a sure index to bis age.
3. Never buy u horse while in mo
tion ; watch him while he stands at
rest and von will discover his weuk
{ joints. If sound he will stand firm-
y and squarely on his limbs, without
moving uny oi them, the feet planted
flat upon * the ground, with legs
plumb and naturally poised. If one
foot is thrown forward with the toe
pointing to the ground, and the heel
raised, or il the foot is lifted from
the grouud and the weight taken
from it, disease of the uaviculur bone
may be suspected, or at least tender
ness, which is a preettsor of disease.
If the foot is thrown eut, the toe
mised und the heel brought down,
the horse has suffered fromlatnmitis,
founder, or the back sinews have
been sprained, ar.d fie is of little fu
ture vulne. When the feet are all
drawn together beneath the horse, if
there bus been no disease there is a
misplacent of the limbs at least and
a weak disposition of the muscles.
If the horse stuuds with his f<et
spread apart or straddles with the
hind legs there is weakness of the
loins Hnd the kidneys are disorded.
When the knees are bent and the
legs totter and tremble, the btvust
has bean ruined by heavy pulling
aud will never be right again, what
ever rest und treatment he may have.

View* m the Stock Law
Th« question of fvoot ce
ll being agitated to some degree ot
that place, A correspondent writing
ui lait week among Wooditock Itemi
concerning this sayi*
“Allow me to oomply with the re
quest oi "Rf. A. J." who hoe gives
hil views on the Stosk Law, in c re
cent iuue of the Advancm, and hop
ed to bear from others. I .would sug
gest io MV. A. J." the propriety of
our first getting ready for the Stock
Law, that is, that his theory of stock
raising upon meadows be put in no
tuul operation before the stock Juw is
called for. I make this suggestion
lor important reasons: First. Because
if his theory be correct—that it will
improve our stock, and that we can
raise them cheaper to fence them in
than to fence them out, we will have
lost nothing and should not wait to
he foroed by a law to act for our best
interest; Second. Because, if we can
demonstrate by actual test aod ex
periment, that we can grow our pork
cheaper on bermuda or blue grass,
than we can on crab grass and other
native grasses, together with the
gleanings of our wheat, oats, peas and
corn fields and ucorns and herbage

will every body be ready to vote for

Which is the Happiest Season ? .
At a festal put ty of old und young,
the question was asked, "Which sea
son of life is the most huppiest?"
After being freely discussed by the
guests, it was referred for answer to
the host, upon whom was the burden
of fourscore years. Ho asked if they
liH(J noticed u grove of trees before
the dwelling, and said: "When the
spring comes, and in the soft air the
buds ure hrei*king on the trees, and
they art- covered with blossoms, I
th Ilk How BEAUTIFUL 18 SPRING !
And when the summer comes and
covers the trees with its heavy fol
iage, and singing birds are among
the branches, I think, How beauti- r
pul is Summer! When antnmn
loads them *\th fruit, and their
L..7C3 bear the 1 gorgeous tint of ft oat.
I think, 11‘OW BEAUTIFUL IS AU
TUMN! And when it is sere winter,
ana there s tiehiier foliage nor Iruifc,
then I look through tlio leafless
branches, ns I never could till now,

and see the 6tars shine."
