Bo Boqoinwdod to Mercy r
II • man deliberately fakes the life
blood of hie fellow-man, we can eee
no equitable reaeon why he ehonld
be recommended lo the mercy of the
oourt. We sincerely trust that the
members of oar next legislature will
repeel thie act. Now why ie the
murderer recommended to mercy?
It ie eymply thie: A jury is summon
ed and the oaee is broght before them
for the purpose of being tried. Well,
they hare eloquent speeches deli vet -
ed before them in behnlf of the pris
oner at the bar. anil their sympathies
are arroused, and thev are plead with
to give the prisoner the benefit, ol all
doubt and speakers go on to elabo
rate on the feasibility of their clients
innooenoe and finally winds up his
lengthy argument by appealing to
their conscience, nnd arraying them,
as it were, in the presence of .their
God, to answer for the terrible crime
they hare or will oommit by not reo
ommeuding the murderer to mere}.
The consequence is thut a jury is
hard to find that will deliberately
find a man guilty of murder, after
baring heard eloquent orators pioture
to them tbs punishment that awaits
them for so doing. No, sir, there are
enough “conscienoious” men on al
most erery jury to sare the murder
nr'a neck as the law now stands.
They are afraid they will do the man
“injustice” if they fail to recommend
him to mercy, and the consequent
is that the gallows is rirtnally dons
•way with in this oountry so long as
this gap in the law is left open. Hod*
•ft men's sympathies are easily arous
ed when plead for by eloquent speak*
ere, and if thay do find a man guilty
of murder they ure told thut in the
erent thut ho should be innocent his
blood will rest upon them as a body
nnd as individuals. We hare had
anmerons examples to oonrince us
of the troth of this statement with
out siugling out ony particular case
nod when we say that we want the
law repealed, we beliere that we
apeak the sentiments of erery law
abiding man in the conntry, and we
oal) upon the members of the next
legislature to act in accordance with
the wishes of their constituents.
A considerable stir is now be*
ing made in Washin gton, and among
Congressmen, sbont what is called
tbs Star Postal routes, meaning the
routes orer which mail is carried
other than by steum conreyance.
Ace Pattebson, who killed Mr.
Robert Simmons, near Juaper, in
Pickens county, several weeks ago,
was sentenced to a life-time impris
onment in the penitentiury at the
Pickens 8nperior Court last week.
Jndge J. R. Brown bos telused to
grant Patterson a new trial, but ef
forts will be made to get a new trial
through the Supreme Court.
The Railroad Commission is gain
ing favor in Georgia all the while,
and those who were once bitterly op
posed to the commission, now speak
of it as a necessity. The public and
the railroad companies as well, are
beginning to see its merits, und the
result is that the commission will be
a permanency in Georgia. The
abase tt received heretofore has uow
turned to praise, and all hands unite
in saying long live the commission.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says
that last winter, during a heavy wind
eight or tec English sparrows were
blown to that city (probably from
Maoon) and found a stopping place
in the trees bock of RoBette & Law-
hon’s carriage repository. Jack An
thony, a negro man, has a lot of
ehiohens in the yard, and when he
wanta to feed them he whistles for
the purpose of calling them up. The

▲BOUT FARMING.,
If this county should happen to
fail in the cotton orop this year, the
county will be atotnl bankrupt. Oar
merchants have sold largely to the
farmers on time and have to.depend
upon the next crop to get their pay.
It is a strange idea the farmers have
of earning a living by the cultivation
ofcottou alone. If they won Id raise
their corn, meet and hay necessary
for home consumption on their own
farms, they wonld find it would pay
them muoh better. As it is they are
dependent for everything they use at
home on the west.
This all cotton planting is prao-
tioed to such an alarming ex'snt
that we fear great damage will result
in the end. No oountry oa» afford
to pay the prices our farmers pay for
their gnano nnd othvr supplies and
make both ends meet after their
debts ore paid.
Such another change as never was
b fore si-en awaits the farmers of this
country who persist in this foolish
practice. The farmers of Cherokee
county would be much better off if
they never had seen a pound of gu*
ano. The result ol using guano is
the ultimate ruin of the soil, nnd
those of us who live to see another
ten yeur'a use ol this artificial mn
nnre will find that the land so culti
vated will be ruined beyond redemp
tion. The farmeis who now own
the land need not trouble themselves
on this score, for the land will not
belong to them ten years hence. It
will have to pas* on down nnd down
tli rough the hands of each succeed
ing merohaot as he sells the farmers
goods to keep up this artificial fer
tiliser practice. The only success*
fill farmers we expect to see then
will be those who will look far*
ward and see the fate that awaits
them in the neur future.
Pay Cash.
The New York Grocer has this to
say in referenoe to payiug cash for
what we buy:
“There is bat one way for any man
id business to lie thoroughly indepen
dent in its conduct, and that is to
have plenty ol oash to pay ns he goes.
It makes no difference then, where
he trades. He cau always command
the bottom prices as to quautiiy,
whatever he buys, uud can take nd
vantage of the markets whenever he
pleases. Of course, everybody knows
all this, but it will do no barm to
remiud our readers of it Men some*
times get to thinking that their
credit is so good thut it makes no
difference whether they pay oash or
uot. But it does niuke a difference.
Gash is u hundred per cent, better
than any man’s credit.”
This is all true enough, but how
are all men to get the cash ? There
must be a source from wbeuce it
conies, and ! f that source be dried'
up, or ceusea to flow, ti en all the va
rious industries and avocations ot
every day life, are stopped or retard
ed in their operations. The farmer
lies at the lower stratum, or at the
the foundation of all moneyed trans
actions, and is ths great source of
wealth to any country, and if he so
manages his affairs, os to require
him to pay his raonsy for fertilizers
to produce cotton, which is very er
roniously called “King Cottou,” and
to this devotes almost his entire at
tention lo the exclusion of the pro-
daction of lucessaty and indispensi
ble supplies,' tnen ruin and failure
are inevitable. For the farmer liav
ing expeuded hia receipts ofcottou in
paying for that which lie conceives
to be essential to produce thy cot
ton, there is nothing left to pay out
at home, so as to create a sufficiency
to enable his neighbors to pay as they
go. Hence a credit system becomes
the only alternative, then this alter
native, iu its turn, cause failure to
pay, which is followed in its turn by
a financial crash throughout the
country. Let furmers beware!
Dave Ellis, who was committed to
jail last week for robhiag Mr. John Petre,
says he has been in worse places than be
now occupies. Well, we’ll see what
Judge Brown has to ssy about it.
A letter has been received iu At
lanta from a leading Alabumian ask
ing if there is any probability of the
Georgia Western Read being built
Where do the Immigrants gof
So fur a* was learned at Csatte
Garden last year, the intended loca
tion «f the 827.371 immigrants ar
riving in 1880 by steamer shows some
carious and interesting tacit. (There
is n very considerable immigration
from Canada, which ia never fimard
of at Castle Garden and which l jgi-ly
strikes It New England). Doubt
less the gcnerel idea is that thr»e-
quarters ol all the European immi
gration goes directly 4o the Western
States. The answers givan to ques
tions pat at Castle Garden did not
oonflrir. that idea. Aa far aa report
ed, 137,501 ol these immigrati's in
tended to *'ny in New York 8tate,
and 44 180 were bom d for the other
Middle St.jt»a; 21,218 were headed
f°r New England, 4064 to the South,
99.919 lo the Western States east of
the Mississippi, und 12,200 to the
country beyond the Mississippi.
The notable fact revealed 'in.Thssc
figures, aside from the unexpectedly
large proportion of these immigrant*
who intend to remain in New York
city or State, ia the aroali uuinlxr
b«und lor the South, It wits jess
than a fifth of even the Now Eng
land portion, nnd only about a for
ty-filth part ol the namber intended
to locate in New York and oiher
Middle States, "But,” says the Hart-
lord Times, truthfully, "the South
will uot always be thus shunned by
European immigrants. When it be
comes widely known that ths stories
of fevers, etc., and of murder and
general lawlessness, us prevailing in
that region, are unfounded in,truth,
the natural advantages of the South
ern winter climate, united to the
fact of large ureas of arable and pro
ductive soil there, will have the effect
of swelling the stream of European
immigration to the South, now a
mere trickling und unseen rivulet,
to the proportions of a copious riv
er.”
Regarding the recent decision of
Judge Crisp in the Rome Bank case,
the Augbsta Chronicle exprease the
opinion that the decision is able,
learned and conclusive. It says: “A
brief, lucid history of ths onase is
given, and the objections obgpansel
for the plaintiff in erro^ are ..stated
with absolute fairness. Tbest ob
jections the J udge severally over
throws. by supreme logic and author
ity. Hu cites the constitutional duty
of the Treasurer and Governor, and
demonstrates that their action was
entirely in consonance with the writ*
ten law. He shows the primary lein
of the State upon the bank’s assets
and that an aes'gnment does not af
fect the rights of the State. The as
•ignee takes the assets, subject to
preference and priorities commanded
by the Code. The State’s priority
is also insisted upon by the common
law, aud so held In Georgia fioce
1874. The proofs adduced to estab
lish this principle are simply over
whelming.”
Republican Caucus.—The com
mittee appointed by the Republican
cuucus to prepare a plan of action in
regard to the contemplated holding
of an executive session, readied an
agreement on Mondaay. The com
mittee will recommend to the caucus
that an executive session be held
forthwith lor the trausuclion of bu*
einess in the following order: First,
to refer to appropriate committees all
nominations now on the table; s*-c
ond, to take up for finnl actio# the
various treaties which await luiiflca-
lion ; uud next, to consider all un-
contested nominations already re
ported Irom the-Senate. The com
mittee’s report will not take the
ground that no other nominations
should be considered during the
present session, but the programme
of business for the present should be
restricted in this manner. The re
port if adopted by the caucus will
probably result in the holding of an
executive session soon.

tion for State of Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., April 27, 1881.
1 ’o the Farmers of GeorgiaAt this
season yon will, doubtless, find it
profitubh- to employ additional la
borers. I am enabler] to state that,
if farmers in this Slate will employ
a sufficient number of while laborer*
to givv them some companionship to
which they h;. ve. been accustomed,
and will board and lodge them in
their home*, or in such maimer as
will give satisfaction, payiug them
g;>od wages, it is probable that as
many as may he needed can be sup
plied.
A charge ol five dollars p-r head
will be required in order to pay ex
(lenses. Female domestics are no>
included. If the laborers are not de
livered at the ptaoe agreed upon, the
money will bo refunded, less one dol
lar registration fee, to pay for eorres
pondence and postage. It is hoped
and believed that llie public will ap-
primate the difficulties attending my
position, and realise that the under
taking is far from pleasant, exceed
ingly laborious, nnd un experiment
at best. It bus succeeded in the
West, and ought to succeed heir. Il
successful, several thousand can b.
furnished ; if unsuccessful!, ii will I a
difficult to inaugurate so comprehen
sive a scheme again.
It is very important that good
wheat bread be supplied them,as they
know nothing of corn bread, and
Will not take kindly to it. It is es
sential that they should receive good
diet and lodging until they learn our
language and can provide for them
selves. A few months will accom
plish this, and alter that it is co Ii-
dently believed they will either buv
laud or woik for the same wages
now paid our excellent negro labor
ers.
My agents in Europe, together
with the facilities described in the
following telegram, will insure sue*
cess if the effort is sustained by the
people.
It is proper to state that I have
been in correspondence with Colonel
Pope and other railread muuagers
for some time.
