THE ADVERTISER. ADVfiBTlSER PUBLISHING CO. Cedartown, G-a., July 24. WM. BBADB6BQ, - Editor Tellvw Jkck Sticks. It tarns ont that the Memphis yellow fever cases were not. s', very “sporadic” after all, op f they were they keep on eporadicatinp, so to speak, in a very anpomfortable and inconvenient mannep. The first ex citement had somewhat subsided and the panicy people were returning home, resuming business when sever al fresh cases were reported and p o- pie went tambling belter skelter out of the city. Those who ought to know best still insist that the plague will not become epidemic this ye; r, and we hope they are right, hut the prospect is rather gloomy for thoe. In the Atlanta Dispatch of the 17th instant we see a communica tion from Mr. Francis Fontaine in which he denounces the editor oi the Covington Star as “unworthy confidence, esteem, trust or notice,” becanse the Star stated that the . . _ _ Georgia Press Association had never sections that it is accustomed to vis-1 officially endorsed Mr. Fontaine’ headquarters before"expressing opin ions npqjt-vew political questions if they^would avoid these nnsavory dishes.

Fonfaiue’s Advertising Agency. it peedispatek 5n ^another column for latest dispatches from Memphis. Cheer Up. Our" (Soufli Carolina correspon dent is evidently “soured” about something. He differs radically from the views expressed by Mr. Stephens, Air. Thurman and uthers as to the result of the extra session of Congress. He se£ms to be hyper critical on all points. He even al ludes to the democratic party, the only party that champions the peo pies rights, as the “hitherto” grand old party. He is disposed to criti cise the condition of our State, when it is a patent fact that Georgia has not, in years, known such an era of peace, quiet and prosperty as sht lias enjoyed during the pr sent ad ministration. True enough, some things have transpired that all true Georgians would be glad to have had better-done, but w4«n we consider the general result, the oe'eome of it all, we find the credit side of th balance-sheet much the larger, and still growing. A few years ago Georgia had to pay eight per cent when she borrowed money, now she can get more than she wants at foi r. The interest on our public debt is promptly paid, our State paper is at a premium, and there is a cash bal ance of several hundred thousand dollars in the treasury. Then where is the use of moping and complain ing because things are not better. Mobe Anon* is a very clever, sensi ble man and a good citizen, and we feel confident that when he calmly reflects .ever these ifihdugs he will conclude that matters arc- not so bad after all,and that ‘iindependentism” is a necessity only to a few ambi tious demagogues who see their op portunity to gain power and pelf by it. The great majority of those democrats who joined the “inde pendent” movement were honest and sincere in their desire to reform something, or somebody, but we do most conscientiously believe that the leaders aud wire-pullers of the con cern are a set ol the most arrant po litical knaves and tricksters that ever afflicted an honest constituency. Many of those who started out in the movement are realizing this and are qpeniqg their eyes to the tact that i their convictions have been trifled with and their prejudices worked upon for no public good. The num ber of such iB constantly increasing, ■and we confidently believe that, by the melt campaign, nearly all those who-sre or have ever been true dem ocrats will conclude that the glorious old democratic party, whatever may be its faults aud foibles, is still the best friend [to the people’s interests, and is the only bulwark bit ween them and the corrupt, aggressive, outrageous tyrany of radicalism— and thinking this, will train under its banner and follow its trusted leaders, despite the braying and trumpeting and blandishments of the so-called “independent” leaders, whose occupation ia gone whenever the people unite for genuine reform. The “Iuflependeat” Convention. Col. Marcell us Epaminondas Thornton, of quail-eating fame and ‘ independent” notoriety is out in a caustic card wherein he unmercifully excoriates those thoughtless, irrever ent bohemians who have had the un blushing effrontery to allude to his convention with undue levi’y and familiarity. The Colonel will please do us the justice to bear in mind that we have from the beginning ap proached this*6ubjeci with great cau tion and circumspection. We have ever spoken of his enterprise (we must insist upon calling it his, not withstanding his coy modesty and bashfuluess prompt him to disclaim it) as being timely and proper, and have, in our humble way, endeavor ed, though with but indifferent suc cess, to get up a sort of a second-class boom for it in thrs: parts. The Colonel also states that M r. Stephens, Mr. Toombs and Dr. Fel ton will participate with him in (he festivities of the occasion and will say their pieces. So it will be seen that those “independents” who were disposed to ridicule the affair went off half cocked and, as.a conse quence, will have to regale them- selves upon a mess of “crow.” They should wait until they hear from advertising agency. The statement of the Star is, we are sorry to say, a mistake; for it is our recollection that a hare maj >rity of those present when the resolution endorsing the agency was acted npon voted for it, bnt it took much pursuasion, ex hortation and explanation by those advocating the resolution to get it throngh. One speaker, in his zeal for the motion, went so far as to argne that “endorse” did not mean “indorse” at all, but only “favorable mention” or some such thing. We thought at the timp, and still think, that the Georgia Press Association took a very extraordinary and un usual step in “endorsing” a private enterprise of which they knew abso lutely nothing save from the exparte statements of the man who was to be the beneficiary of their action. We are not moved to these rematks by a desire to criticise Mr. Fontaine’s enterprise, or a feeling of hostility to it, for of it and him we know ab solutely nothing, but our experience teaches us that all advertising agen cies are alike in that they are or ganized for the benefit solely ol those who manage them. They are purely business enterprises and there is no sen timen t about them. Mr. For. taine’s effort to get rp a little sectional, sentimental gush in favor of his agency was quite a shrewd coup, but Southern editors, and particularly a pre-eminently Press Associations, should not allow themselves to be inveigled into any “entangling alli ances” thereby. Sooner or later those who are so fulsome and gush ing in favor of this new agency will cool prrceptibly. Not, perhaps, be cause of any wrong it may do them, but because they are exp. cting too inneh. Mr. Fontaine’s object is the perfectly legitimate one ot making momy for himself, but if. ii ciden.- tally, he can be of use to those who work for him he would doubtless do so—“only this, noting more.” We regret to see the exceedingly strong and bitter language Mr. Fon taine uses towards the editor of the Star. It argues badly both for Mr. Fontaine and his agency. It shows him to be exceedingly sensitive to criticism of any sort. The statement of the Star was a mistake (we wish most heartily it was true), hut we have no doubt it was honestly made. If the editor of the Star was not present when the remarkable action was taken, he was, of course, loth to believe the Georgia Press Associa tion had committed the undignified and unbusiness like act of giving its official endorsement to a private busi ness enterprise of which it know nothing, for which it was in no wise responsible and over which it could not exercise the slightest control. We have no acquaintance wha'ever with the editor of the Star bnt it will require something more than the dictum of Mr. Fontaine to con vince us that he is “unworthy con fidence, esteem, trust or notice.” It occurs to ns that if Mr. Fontaine is, as he says, really seized and possessed with a patriotic desire to improve the condition of Southern newspa pers, or even if he is not, he should have addressed a note to the editor of the Star, calling bis attention to the error and asking him to correct it. If the editor had failed or re fused to do so, it would theu have been time enongh fi-r Mr. Fontaine to have poured out his vituperation upon him. We rather incline to the opiuion that neither Mr. Fontaine nor his “Southern” advertising agen cy (in New York) will be greatly benefitted by this display of ill tom per and ill bre ding. If there bad been t ny reason before to doubt the impropriety of the Georgia Press Associa'ion putting its official seal of approval upon Mr. Fontaine’s private business affairs we think his unseemly behavior in this matter ffectually removes it. The Briber? Scandal, Atlanta has had qnite a sensation over an effort by a friend of Comp • •roller-General Goldsmith’s to bribe 'oo members of the committee on wild lands into signing a paper that Goldsmith thought would put him in a better light before the people. A resolution has been offored in the house looking to the impeachment ik®m Atlanta. Atlanta, CL, July 21, 1879. Dear Dcetor The provision in the new coretitufon which requires local and sppiil tills to be advertised thirty daysheloR their introduction into the Tfcuje of Representatives was intendel ;o block and discour age all local ini special legislation. It has, evideitty, however, not had of the Comptroller for high crimes I the desired elect Over three hnn- The following from the Columbua Times has the ring of true metal about it, viz: The people do not believe, with one of the daily papers publish ed at the State Capital, that Georgia cannot afford to charge her officers with wrong. Georgia can afford, if they are guilty, to convict every offi cer in her service of malfeasance in office and sweep them from place, and put good men where thev now sit, and she would not weaken her moral attitude before her own peo- ile or before the people of tne other States of the Union, by so doing. Whenever men in office can afford to sacrifice their honor, Georgia can af ford, end should not hesitate to sac rifice the men. It lias b en the be lief of some of the wisest public men in the State for some yearn, that the tenure of office is too long in Geor gia. We notice that a bill has been in troduced, and favorably reported upon by committee, to authorize the Governor to offer a reward of one thousand dol'ars for the arrest and conviction of parties forging land grants. We do hope it will be promptly passed and that the Gov ernor will lose no time in giving it and misdemeanors. As we remarked 1 when we first read the report of the wild land committee, the office of Comptroller seems to be beyond the capacity of its present occupant. Admitting that he has been gnilty of no corruption the fact still remains that the office has, under his man agement got into jery bad odor and its business in such a con fused condi tion that an intelligent c mmittee with a corps of experts have been unable, after sev. ral weeks of hard labor, to discover the true condition of its affairs. After holding the office as long as Mr. Goldsmith has, a Comptroller should be able to make a better showing, and being unable he shonld not expect the peo ple to continue the costly experiment of giving him a chance to learn. We regret, for the lair fame of the Stare and the good oameof its officials, that these things have occurred. But since the issue is made it should be squarely and promptly met. Lop off the diseased branches and apply the canterv to old sores until no dis eased spot shall be left in onr State government It will hurt the feel ings of some individuals, perhaps, but when the interests of all thj people of the State are in jeopardy, individuals who have put themselves in the way must stand aside. The legislature has (aud very wise ly, we think) voted down the resolu tion abolishing the department ofag- r c llture Now if they will vote Dr. Little a good liberal sum to complete the geological survey of the State and publish the same they will have done a service of permanent benfit to their constituents. Sound Doctrine. A Sew Capitol. We reproduce below a couple of extracts, one from the Macon Tele graph and the other from the La- Grange Reporter, that embody our views, and, we believe, the sentiments of a majority of the people of the State, on the subject of a new State honse: The State does not need a new capital now. Ii is a luxury that can well be dispensed with for several years. It is true, the present capital is an ugly, inconvenient affair, but it has answered its pnrpose with tolera ble satisfaction so far, and can si ill do so. The State of Georgia is not in a condition now to build snch a Capi tol as she ought to have. It is true, her credit is first class, and herresoor- ces are ample to pay all she owes, but the masses of her people are not prospering. They have not suffi ciently recovered from the financial stringency which for years has op pressed the country to be taxed for anything not absolutely needed. Let us watt, say five years; by that time our people will have regained, to a great extent, their lost property. Then they will lie able and willing to submit to a tax for this purpose. Then the legislature will not- be cramped in making appropriations, but will fie ji.stifled in providing for the election of a building whose magnificence will be commensurate wiih the grandeur of the empire State of the Sou h. At present ihe legis la ure is not warranted in making an appropriation really liberal enough for the purpose. The State’s debts are not yet paid, and while we all know they will be, and while Ahe creditors are perfectly willing to nbld the state’s promises to pay, tar an in definite time, it is not prudent to in vent new ways in which to spend money. Let the State government be conducted on principles of tne strictest economy fur a few years; let the taxes be made as light as possi ble ; let the people feel that they are fairly on their feet again ; and then ‘.he State can afforu a new capital. Then the ligislaturc will be warnin- t d in expending a million dollars on it—and no lt-s* ought to be spent— LaG range Reporter. Atlanta really offers in her court house square a magnificent property w rtb more than the old Milledge ville capital. It is a fitting site for the State house for the empire State of the South, and should be grateful ly accepted. But let not our legis lators, for the honor of their consti tuents. demand another ativer. And finally the members outside of Ful ton county should set their faces like a flint against any and every move- meut to build a new capital until the debt of the State has been extin- dred bills ofthu character will be introduced raring the present ses sion, and aliady several days have been taken tv in reading and refer ring them, ’o date almost every county has resonded with from one to fifteen locating, for the relief of somebody, to ptvent the sale of whisky within to miles of some church,school-hose or campground, to allow gome vif meritorious citi zen to peddle witaat lie- use, or to practice medicinewithout diplomas or license and collet the emoluments thereof, etc., etc. With this mass of matter before us,beside,® ‘lie gener al legislation, an accompanied by the investigation which we have on hand, I sometnes think that it is not impossible or us to be heie until October or prhaps until “white frost.” Several days vere consumed in the discussion oF’$Slil>ilU p abolish the Department ofAgricultnre. The talking was near] all done by the “horny handed sos of toil.” No ef fort was made to at off debate and, as was generally remarked, they were “field days forth efftriner.” The vote was close, a yon have seen from the reports c your daily ex changes, and on dancing over the yeas and nays, I im satisfied had the question been left to the fra mers in the house a majority of them would have -oted to abolish the Department. I, was charged upon the leaders of the opposition that they were more itrongly in fa vor of abolishing Dr. Janes than the Department. The attempt to briie tvo of the members of the wild Jane commit tee was a piece o' scandal which created considerablestir here. The fact that the off-rs if bribes comes from a young mau wlo is thought to be as devoid of monei as of morals, broke the force of tilt scandal, ex cept with those members v-ho be lieved that Comptrolhr Goldsmith was ready to honor tie drafts of this agent of his. Wright staled npon examination before the wild land committor- that he had no au thority from Goldsmith to offer a bribe. Various opinions, however, prevail as to whether th ii is “the whole truth.” The special committee tooconsid er and act tuw« yl-^plfcoii oi impeaching Goldsmith wasw?non ne ed to-day, and will report b ick, p -r haps, by the l.-.tti-r part ^f the week. I hear on every hand expressions of sympathy for the Comptroller. lie is remarkably popular with all men who know him and is generally looked upon as a popular and clever gentleman and efficient ofileer. But these facts will have but little bear ing upon a legislature jrhich ap pears determined to thoroughly “clean out the stables” here. A resolution was introduced into the house this morning and carried, looking to an examination of the book, accounts, etc., of the Treasu rer, and the cry runs through all the ranks of the organiz d democ racy in the General Ass-mbly, “that we will regulate ourown household.” A wise conclusion, I think, for if it is not done by ns, the indepen dents will and ought to do it fonts. I had better state before leaving this subject that no suspicion is enter tained that the Treasurer is in any way in default, bnt it is thought no barm can result from an examina tion into his actings and doings. Ontside of these investigations al! is again quiet here. The bill to abolisli the Agriculral Department being disposed of, the dog law laid at rest for the present, and the peni- ary question recommitted, there are no exciting questions of legislation before us, and it is to be hoped that we can now go quietly to work. C. G. J. Letter From Sontb Carolina. State Hews. Editor Advertiser: Providing ourselves with a soldier’s outfit, minus the historical camp kettle, haversack, etc., etc., we left Polk county the morning of the 3rd inst. on a visit to relatives sad friends in the old Palmetto State. Passing down Eubailee via Rockmart, -we reached Stilesboro’, where we struck camp for the night The “glorious old Fourth” dawned npon ns bright and beautiful. We found the farm ers generally celebrating the day iu threshing wheat, hoeing and plowing their crops, etc., etc. What a change! Twenty or thirty years ago the day would have been ushered in by the booming of cannon. We would have had grand military parades, huge barbecues, public speaking and other demonstrations of j iy. But “limes change and men change with them.” Great events as well as great men, pass away, and are ere long forgotten. New events and new men take their places. The night of the 4th we landed at a relative’s near Hickory Flat in Cherokee county, onr better half and thelittleones very much fatigued, our route a portion of the day being through some very rough country, and over some terrible roads. We rested here nntil the fol lowing Monday. Sunday we attended divine ser vices. Heard a s rmon from Rev. Mr. Brewster, a Methodist minister, whom you will remember as former proprietor of the “Cherokee Geor gian.” The Reverend gentleman took for his text the apostolic com mission, “Go ye into all the world,” etc. Wc were surprised to hear this minister, who is an intelligent gen tleman, argue against an educated ministry. He should r-.-member that this is a progressive age, and that as the masses become educated they will demand educated preachers. We left Hickory Flat Monday morning, passing throngh the coun ties of Forsyth, Hall, Banks, Frank lin, ami Hart, Ga., to our old h me in Anderson countj, S. C., where we lauded safe and sound Wednesday, the 9th instant. The crops along onrronte of trav el, with the exception of portions of Bartow, Cherokee and Forsythe counties were very poor indeed. We saw large fields ot corn tasseled out not more than waist hign and not a shoot or silk to be s en, and still larger fields of cotton not more than eight or ten inches h gli. In some sections there had been no ruin fiom six to nine weeks. The prospects for corn and cotton in large sictions of Northeast Georgia and Wes'era South Carolina are gloomy lditeea. TVc were told that a number ol the merchants ‘along the line of the Air-Line Railroad had closed doors, refusing absolute ly to make any further advances to their farming customers. From what we could learn a failure of the crops means alums' universal bankruptcy, everybody being more or less involv ed iu debt. The best average crop we saw on our route was that of our own county-man, Mr. Israel Davis, on Hills creek. Mr. Davis has a good farm, and knows what to do with it. He is eminently practical—no mere paper theorist. Just here, Mr. Ed itor, your c irrespondent would “rise” to remark that he has bnt little con fidence iu what is commonly termed “book-farming.” We have no use for your fine-spun farm theories. We don’t want to ta :e our lessons in farming from men who neveT plowed a furrow or hoed a row of corn or cotton in their lives. fit seems to ns that onr corres pondent is a little inconsistent here. A few lines above he was criticising a minister for opposing a “book” or educated ministry; now he is re versing these hberal views in their application to farmers.
