There are certain classes of pro.
pile, editors and politicians of various
grades of reapectabilitv, who have al
ways taken peculiar delight in find
ing fault with Gov. Colquitt and the
manner in which he has administer
fd the affairs of the State. Such
people have made up and announced
their estimate of the Governor \and
were, in the beginning, determined
to believe that he was not the man
'for the place, that he has not suffieen t
capacity, especially in the way of
financial tact and management, to
ful chief magistrate
of the State. Hence they eagerly | al| d charge it as gambling.
ADVICE TO COTTOS PLANTERS.
How to Net Ten Cents Per Pound on
the Next Crop.
W>- commend the advice contained
in the letter below to the car-fill con
sideration rf f nr farmers. Wi ileal:
gambling in cotton futures on the
part of the planters is dangerous,
yet as there cm b little hope that
lie next cotton crop, r ,li around, will
sell even as high as eight tents, i!
things take their usual course, some
good might be accomplished by sell
ing at ten cents on the terms given
in this c immunitation :
Editors Chronicle and Constitution
alist :
The price of cotton having ad
vanced since the crop ha? gone out
ol the hands of the producer, which
is so often the case, to a price there
is some remuneration in its produc
tion, it becomes now the duty of tile
producers to consider seriou.-ly the
situation. Many farmers and plant
ers have conscientious scruples in
bnyng and s lliug futures in cotton,
To such
Okcfei okee Swamp,
call attention to and magnify everv
mistake and appareut mistake made
by himself, bis subordinates in office
'or any one connected with his ad
ministration. They go farther and
become facetious over the Governor’s
fondness for attending Sunday-
school conventions and religious re
vivals and very clearly insinuate that
this weakness, a3 they arc pleased to
term it, interferes with the discharge
of his official duties. Charges of
this kind have imposed upon many
people, acting in good faith, and
without any sinister motives, they
have been lead to adopt these views.
In reply to such charges we need on
ly point to the results. Since Gov.
Colquitt came into office the stand
ing and credit of the State, at home
and abroad, have been steadily ris
ing.
While the administration has con
ceived and executed uo striking and
brilliant feats of statesmanship—
and we have been in no need of such
feats—vet we fail to remember any
mistake, any instance of neglect of
official duty, materially affecting the
welfare and interests of the State.
We think indeed, that Governor
Colquitt has not only performed the
duties of hi3 office as honestly and
conscientiously ns his friends all ex-
. pacted he would, but with more skill
and judgment than a great majority
of-the people hoped for.
While on the subject we had as
well note the fact that all, or nearly
all, the adverse criticism that i3
heaped upon Gov. Colquitt and his
administration conus from those who
have a favorite selected for the next
I do not propose to tamper with their
i oner sensibilities, but permit me to
i state for the benefit of the planting
| interest that the crop to be grown
Ibis year can now be sold f.r ne-xt
fall delivery at a price that will net
over ten cents at the nearest depot of
the producer. I have no advice to
advance to the farmers, for cotton
may rule lower or higher, but vve
have an opportn uity pi ese. ted where
by we can make some money in
planting which I might say is not
usual and I do feel we should give
the situation some consideration.
.Many producers are not aware that
they Could sell h-ss than one hundred
bales of cotton, but they can e nrbine
and selUnieor more hundred bales.
Being a plan ter and feeling a deep
ime-nst in my brethren of the plow,
I tliro-.v out this hint for their con
sideration. lie.- pectin liv,

The next national census is expect
ed to show some great and gratifying
resul's for some of the Southern
States, and indeed for the whole
South, in the decade which will then
have gone into histoiy since the pre
vious census.
The act of Congress for taking
this census provides, among »i iier
things, that tiie enumeration sliaii
commence on tlx* liist Monday in f
June. 1880, and that the
rst i.f J un-.
lu cities of more than ten thousand
inhabitants the count must be com
pleted in two we ks. The President
is to appoint one hundred and fifty
supervisors of the census, and tin-
cost of the enumeration is limited
to ¥$00,000, five-sixths of which
amount is appropriated by the bill.
Of the history of thi; interns ing

One of the band of Having pi.
rates that has infested this and sever
al oilier counties in this State and
Alabama, breaking into r.r.d robbing
istcree, stealing horses, cuUle, etc.,
lias coma to grief, lie raided several
stores in Centre, Ala., one night last
week and was overhauled by some of
the citizens next day. He gives ids
name as Jam -s Williams, alias Jas.
Eobberson, and is now in jail, in di -
fault of a ¥1000 bond, awaiting trial.
Good citizens every where should
take an active interest in arresting
and punishing these mid a iglu ma
rauders. There is a well organiz.-d
gang of them and no man’s property
or life is safe until it is* broken up
They are operating in ten or fifteen-
counties in North Georgia and Ala
bama. An impromptu case or two
of hemp pulling by tile uext of this
gang that are caught would clear up
the atmophere wonderfully. This is
almost the oulv argument. that will
reach them too, for the gang is so
extensive and so well organized that
they care very little for the usual
.Country jail. Break ing jail is a mere
pass-time. Even when brought to
trial they usually have plenty ol
henchmen around to swear that they
are persecuted patriots and ns inno
cent as white robed angels. The
country can rid itself of this gang
by a systematic, organized effort, and
nothing less will do it.

Ser\ins Tullius, sixth Emperor of

citizen had to appear oa the Field

name and reside: c -. the number and

of his property. Failing to do this,
his property might be confiscated
and himself scourged and sold for a

and improved the mail r of taking
the census. In the six eeuth centu

This remarkable depression in
Southern Georgia, bordering .on
Florida, is worthy of the attention
f the scientific topographer. It is

swamp leaving this great natural
basin the lowest summit level be
tween the waters of the Atlantic
oc.an and the Gulf of Mexieo, north
of parallel 29.
Lieut. Iluuter, in his survey,
makes (he area of this basin about
1,000 square miles, of which the
swamp proper covers about 500
square miles; and the average eleva
tion above tide., water is 110 feet.
The swamp has several islands in it,
from one to six miles in IcnghMi,
and a quarter to a half mile iu
wi..th. The principal growth on
• n these ides is pine, cypres?, and
|obl-illy hay;' of the last of which
I L eut. Hunter says, there are mu- Davis cu
ny groves with trees of remarkable
siz ', and very symmetrical, present
ing a magnificent appearance; s mi *
of the trees measuring from SO to 90
feet to (In* first branches. The lar
gest, area of the swamp is made up
of prairies and savannas, with ecc i-
sional bodies of dense undergrith
of lie-tic- and bamboo briers. The
surface ir always wet and sometimes
entirely covered with water, except
the is’anus.
There are also x number of lakes
or large ponds, frequented by a
great variety of water fowl. Fresh
water trout are caught m these hikes,
weighing from 5 to 9 pound?. Perch
chun and bicam are also plentiful.
In fact, with the great number of
deer and bear on the islands, and all
the varieties of wild duck, crane,
curlew, etc., this must he one of the
•‘paradises” for hunters, which are
so often hunted for but seldom found.
Many of the lakes and ponds are con
nected by narrow channels, and can
he reached in boats from the main
land.
