The oid campaign howjers at the North are again exercising their lungs over the butchery of thirteen negroes by a mob in the court-house at Carrollton, Miss., and roll the outrage as a sweet morsel under their tongues. But such wails will do neither the howlers or their party any good whatever, for the fair- minded and intelligent people of the countrv know that the South and the lemocratic party are no more re-10 -.hie for this siaught r than an- N i>hern states orthemts ot some mob in their own section. On the other hand, the indiscrimi nate slaughter cf these negroes has been bitterly denounced hv every Southern paper we have seen, and if there is any man cruel-hearted enough to endorse such a massacre he has not let it be known. On the heels of the war, when the South was under military government and justice a mockery, lynch law was often necessary for the protection of our lamilies and property. But now that this curse has been lifted and all the machinery of the courts is in the hands of the native whites of the South, there can be no possible excuse ior mob violence or lyr.ch law, and any man or set of men guilty of such conduct should be punished as any other law breakers and criminals. There is but one crime that we think should demand death at the hands of the populace without resort to courts, viz : outrages on females; and even in such cases the penalty should only be inflicted on the most posi tive evidence. We see that the grand jury of Carroll county failed to find true bills against any of the murderers. It is now the duty of the Governor of Mississippi to offer iarge rewards, and exhaust every means in his power, to bring the guilty parties to justice. It is need less to say they cannot be found, lor one hundred men. coming into a town in broad daylight, must have left some trace behind. The Gov ernor not only owes this to the vin dication of his state, but to the honor of the South. So far as their legal rights and protection by law are concerned, the negro is com pletely at the mercy of the white man. Ilencc such massacres as that at Carrollton, Miss., is both cowardly and brutal, and the mur derers should be brought to justice and punished if it bankrupts the treasury of that state. While the negro should be kept in his place— and he vs ill there remain if left alone—at the same time the white as the guardians ol the lite. liberty nrd property of these peop e should ‘ee that they are protected and justice done them. A STARTLING STATEMENT. The letter we publish to-day from Hon. James M. Smith, of Ogle thorpe, probably the largest farmer n Georgia, gives facts and figures that may well cause consternation and surprise. It is a plain statement of his private affairs, brought out by a letter written from Oglethorpe, and shows a series of heavy losses by this gentleman that would have paralyzed the energy of most any one else; but the indomitable will-power and superior management of Col. Smith have already been brought into play, and he will recover from these calamities if such a thing is possible. But this gentleman’s es timate of what it cost him to pro duce his last crop of cotton, and his exposure of the condition and op- ptession of our farmers, must pro- d ice profound thought.and a serious ! dread lor the future agricultural in- , terests of the country. Col. Smith is a clear-headed, thinking man. lie makes no state ment but what he knows to be the truth, and hence his letter to day may be taken as authentic and indisputable evidence of the fearful condition of the farmers ol this sec tion. This state of affairs cannot much longer exist. Something must be done—some change must oe made for the relief of our agri culturists. A REIGN OF COMMUNISM. The peace and safety of the whole civilized world is to-day threatened with mob rule and communism, and even the strongest governments stem to tremble in the piesence of this new and dreaded power. In London a lawless mob overran the city, and trampled the police under foot for hours. In Belgium,her large st cities were in the hands of the scum of the land, and all manner of outrages committed. France, Germany and Russia are slumber ing over a socialistic volcano that is liable to break out at any time. Even in onr own republic we have lor the last ten days witnessed scenes of outrage, and the excesses wete only kept in check by the firm hand of the law. We believe that if these outrages on the southwes'ern railroads are ventillated, that they will be found to proceed from the same communistic element now threatening the old world, and their source to be the very labor we have so heartily welcomed to our shores. These foreigners are now engaged in poisoning the minds *f our American workingmen, and are the cause of all this labor agitation. What will be the outcome we can not discern. We believe that the day is not far distant when the Reign of Terror will be re-enacted in the principal cities of Europe and even threaten our own shores It will be a war against capital a 1 for a division of wealth. In this day of deadly explosives—many laborers being trained in their use as a business—the mobs will be able to cope with even trained sol diers. The destruction of not only human life, but entire cities, is an easy undertaking. There is a storm now gathering, soon to break upon the European governments, and if America can escape the danger she will in c fortunate. We r» afraid, ii. v nir, that rm kind liberty has already sheltered t o many firebrands from the old world, who are ready and anxious to enllame and organize mobs to teed their thirst for excitement, lawless ness and plunder. There is noth ing to lear from our native work ing people. There is no doubt but that Gen. Gordon is being secretly groomed by some of Joe Brown’s henchmen for the Gubernatorial race. We greatly admire Gordon as a soldier, but as a politician, he is most toe much like clay in the hands of the potter—and “your Uncle Joseph” is the potter that molds him, too. Some of Judge Simmons’ friends have reported Collector Crenshaw for using his office in the interest of Bacon for Governor. There is no need of reporting Judge Simmons for using his office in the interest of Simmons, for the people are aware of that fact, and will administer their rebuke at the proper time. A truce lias been* called jin the great strikes along the Gould sys tem of roads in the Southwest. Messrs. Powderly and Gould, after a personal conference, agreed upon terms of arbitration, and have con sequently issued orders for a cessa tion of hostilities. A cowardly lenture of the strik ing demonstrations in Belgium, when a body ot rioters placed two hnndred women between them selves and the soldiers. As a con sequence the women suffered the wounds instead of the men. A Southern congressman truth fully says: “Just as long as there is negro suffrage the Solid South will exist, of necessity. The money question is a big one. but the race question is bigger.” Within the past week the labor ers ot this country have lost a mil lion dollars in wages by strikes. The damage and loss of business to cor porations is much more. Makers of brooms report a great scarcity of broom corn. We really don’t know where it gone, lor Cleveland has used very little mak ing that expected clean sweep. The Atlanta Republican is op posed to Bacon for Governor. This is certainly a strong endorsement of Bacon that no democrat can over look. The New York aldermen seem to be made of the same kind ot dust as those republican statesmen who came South with the reconstruction movement. It would be a good thing for the peace of Europe if Bismarck should chance to accidentally sit down on a dynamite cartridge. When Gen. Gordon captures that l>ig fortune again his friends had better have a guardian at once appointed for him. The report that Gen. Gordon’s newly-found Florida fortune has been invested in frozen oranges is denied by his friends. SALVATIONISTS FRANKS. Working on Washington With Bad Puns and Oreat Noise. There is something strange about the sinking of the steamship Oregon It is said to have been caused by a collision with a schooner, but no body saw the schooner before or after the fatal contact Strange, too, that two holes oi a large size were in the sides of the lost steam er. Add to this the fact that the accident occurred within easy dis tance of New York, and that eight hours elapsed before the vessel set tled in the water, it is no wonder that there are suspicions of foul play, for the purpose of insurance or something else. Every life was saved but two, a minister and an old woman, who died of fright, but no property. Was this a lucky out come, or was it so designed? If the man who wound Milt Smith up could be found he would probably be lynched. Washington, March 30.—The Salvation Army has opened its spring campaign against the ungod liness of the capital with a proces sion headed by a band. The men Salvationists wore dark pantaloons, bright red Guernsey jackets and blue navy caps with gold bands. Four negro women in uniform dress ac companied the army. A halt was called at the National Rifles’armo ry and a meeting was begun. A hy mn was sung to the tuneot “Nan cy Lee.” In the course of the servi ces a negress arose and declared she had been a short time previously converted at the washtub. Thereup on Commissioner Frank Smith, commander of the American forces offered a prayer in which he made puns. One was an alluson to the "ashtub conversion and the need Washington for the divine causing process. He said: “Oh Laird above, look down through love on this town of Washington, lor it needs a good deal of washing done to purify it of its sinfulness.” The commissioner also prayed fer vently to the Almighty lor the pu rification of congress. Subsequent ly he said in his exhortations that if things wee as they should be there would be no need of congress; that God would introduce the bills and pass them and the people and bus iness interests would not he afraid of bad legislation. When the meet- ing got well under way it was a cross between a colored camp-meet ing and a riot. The campaign of the Salvationists is arousing great indignation among church people of all denominations. Punishing a Flirt. Mr. Crouch, of Randolph, Tenn., thoughtlessly became engaged to two young ladies at the same time, and the father of one of them marched him to his daughter’s house at the end of a shot gun. There the yonng woman and her sister gave him a fearful cowhiding, but he finally made his escape and hurried off and married the other day.

A STARTLING LETTER FROM GEORGIA’S GREAT FARMER. SEVERE LOSSES THE PAST TWO YEARS. Producing Cotton ataLoss of 100 Per Cent. A OLOOUT OUTLOOK FOR OUR PLANTERS. Statements That Will Seriously Agitate the Contrary. Pleasant Hill, Ga., March 29,1886.— Editor Banner-Watchman: In your issue of the 27th inst. I notice a letter dated “Lexington, Ga., March 25, 1886,” and signed “Oglethorpe,” which, without correction, will create wrong impres sions. The author of that letter is doubt less a friend of mine, and wrote it with pure motives. The public will, without information to the contrary, believe that the letter was written with my knowl edge, consent and approval, and so be lieving, many will consider me full of vanity. The farmers of this section, one and all, are in a deplorable condition, and no amount of finely written articles pub lished in the newspapers can change it. “Oglethorpe” represents me in a nour ishing condition, when, in truth, I never was in a worse condition, so far as farm ing is concerned. The country is grow- ing poorer all the time. Without some great change for the better, 1 see no hope for those who are trying to make a living by farming. My friend “Oglethorpe” is correct when he says the convicts at the camp are well fed, clothed, worked in moderation and humanely treated, and whoever says to the contrary does not tell the truth. “Oglethorpe” is correct when he says that 1 have a cotton seed oil mill in operation, which, together with some other machinery, is run by a large engine. The cotton seed oil mill is a very small affair, but large enough to work up all the cotton seed I have. As to making guano for sale, I do not think I will be able to do anything at it this season-. I low much 1 will save by making my own fertilizers is an unsolv ed problem. “Oglethorpe” is in error when he says I contemplate building a railroad at my own expense. Railroads cost a great deal of money, more than I ever expect to have. A railroad from Winterville to my place, to be extended to Elberton or some point on the Elberton Air-Line, would be of considerable advantage to Athens, Winterville, Elberton and the country through which it passed, and I am willing to help build it, and hope some day to see it built. But the great est error in “Oglethorpe’s” whole arti cle is when he says I raise annually 1,- 000 bales of cotton, and the proceeds thereof is about clear. If “Oglethorpe” will give the country a recipe for raising 1,000 bales of cotton, or even a smaller number, without cost, he will have ac complished a great feat. Those who do not raise cotton are very prone to under rate the cost of producing it. “Oglethorpe” is again in error when he says I have paid one firm in Athens $15,- 000for supplies bought since Christmas. It is true I have bought a great deal since Christmas in the way of supplies. It is my misfortune that I had it to do, and it is a much greater misfortune that I was not able to pay cash for these sup plies, but had to buy them on time, like too many other of ray brother farmers. There is no money in raising cotton now, no matter what kind of labor you work. Every bale of cotton I raised last year cost twice what it brought. Juke too many other farmers, I am in debt, and am obliged to have something that will bring money in the fall. Since it has be come necessary for the public to know something of my private business, I pre fer that they know more, and know it correctly. My losses for the past twelve months have been great—beyond belief —more than I can ever stand again. Let me give you a summary of the principal ones: In the falls of 1884 and 1885, I sowed each of those falls about 1,000 bushels of oats. In both cases the oats were all killed. I also fertilized the oats. In January, 1885,1 hauled to rail road and shipped to Atlanta about 4o0tons of cottonseed, all of which were rejected on account of being damaged. I sold them in Atlanta for a mere pittance, and did not'get enough for them to pay freight, trackage anil commission: hence the seed were a clear loss, as was also the hauling of them nine miles on wagons to the rail road. First and last in 18851 lost over 3<X) head of hogs with the cholera. In June 1885 I lost $4,000 in a fight with the Governor and penitentiary officials to disprove false charges brought against me by these officials and to prevent them from making political capital for them selves at the expense of my honor and good name. In the above $4,000 is not included my own time, which in that par ticular time of the year was worth a great deal if I could have used it in looking af ter my legitimate business; hence I charge $4,000 cash loss in a fight with opium eaters, drunkards, political aspirants aud eaters of public hash. I might have set tled this case with some less expense by bootlicking, fawning and surrendering principle. With 100 convicts I only made 200 bales of cotton and;2,000 bushels of corn. The cotton I sold for $6,000. To make the above crop I fed, clothed, guarded and was at all expense of working 100 con victs, furnished plantation tools, wagons, gear, 50 head of mules and feed for Ihem, and used 100 tons guano. This crop cost $18,000 more to make it than it was worth, hence I charge up $18,000 loss on convict.farm. Here is a table of my principal losses: 3^300 bushels of oat*, town in fall 1SS4 and 85, at intf- .. Fertilizer* on above oat*......_... Flowing them in.. 400 ton* cottou seed lo*t, at $13,50.......... 300head hog* died with cholera, at $7 ...

I am beginning to believe that it is impossible for a man to live off io the country, follow farming and ever be worth much. There are so many agencies at work to undermine him that in nine cases out of ten he will, in spite of economy, industry, good man agement, hard work, hard living, and the most heroic efforts, be buried at the pub lic expense. Those who follow trading, live in towns and cities, and professional men generally, will outwit the farmer and get what he has, without giving him a just compensation. If a farmer has corn for sale, bail’s it to town, walks into a store and asks the price of corn, he is told 75 cents per bushel. “But want to sell you some corn.” “Oh, well,” says the clerk, **I will step and see th » owner of the store and let you know.” When the clerk returns he says to the farmer, “We have a good supply of corn on hand and do not wish to buy, but if you cannot do any better we will give you 50 cents a bushel. The fanner can’t do any better and takes 50 cents a bushel. One more year like last with me, and I will go to cutting and hewing cross-ties fora living like I did many years ago. The control of my business to a great extent has been taken away from me and put in the hands of my enemies, who, for the present, in power, and who are using that power to crush me. I am having a hard and desperate contest, and cannot tell what the end will be. My whole property would probably bring $75,1 XXI if sold for cash. I owe $40,(XX.), all of which is drawing interest at a high rate. The foregoing are facts upon which you can rely. If the public must know anything about niv private business I prefer they know the truth. I feel that I have very little to show for 25 years of toil, strife, vexation, hard labor and the exercise of some capacity. I am sure that it is a great wrong for those in power, “clothed with a little brief authority,” to be con tinually sicking the blooodhounds of agrarianism and communism upon me, because I am not as poor as they in their malice, envy and senseless ha tred could wish. 1 have written this letter not because I wished to do it, but because the letter of Oglethorpe presented me in a fictitious light before the public, and because false impressions are being used by enemies to create prejudice when none ought to exist.

Few persons unacquainted with the life-ol a steamboat.nan have any idea of the perils and dangers of his calling. To the world his life is one ol continued excitement, high living and ease; but a closer insight into bis every-day life develops new features of peril and hardships. Ex posed to all kinds of weather, he is up early and late and pursues his ditties while others are peacefully slumbering in their berths. One day all is well—the steamer, with majestic motion, winds its way past swamps and lowlands, verdant banks and fertile plantations. The passengers, in cheerful groups, converse upon the guards, or as cend to the pilot house and view the country on either side tor miles around; others amuse themselves in the cabin, relating anecdotes and playing cards. But the steamboat- man, from the captain, above on the hurricane deck, to the engineer, below at the throttle, has his part to perform, and is never at rest while on duty. The account we give be low presents the darker side of the steamkoatman’s life, and shows that other heroes, rather than those of song and story, claim our attention and reverence. In the month of March, in the year 1S59, during those good old ante-bellum days, when our coun try teemed 'with plenty and the southern planter was in his prime, the Eliza Battle, a magnificent steamer, was on her down trip from the Upper Tombigbee. She was laden to the water’s edge with the fleecy staple, and had a full list of passengers, all going down to Mo bile to lay in their supplies for the coming season, or to dispose of their cotton. On the lower deck the ne- gto deck hands, in noisy assembly, were dancing and singing, happy in tlie the thought that they would soon reach the city. Little did some .of them know that never again would they see the city. It was a cold, w indy day, uncom monly cold for the month of March, and the wind was increasing as *he hours moved on, until at nightfall it was blowing a piercing norther. The signal lanterns were swung aloft to their places on either smoke stacks, and the night watchmen began their rounds. The gong sounds for the evening meal anil the passengers quit their place on the guards and go in to supper Supper over, they amused them selves in vatied ways, playing cards, relating stories, and speculating as to the prospects of next year’s crop One by one they leave the cabin and retire to rest—some to rise no more—others only to awake midst flame and smoke or to perish in the dark waters of the river. On such nights as this, extra precaution is always taken; the watchmen are continually on the rounds searchin^ every part of the boat from deck to roof for fire. Every one on board save the crew on duty were at rest; the captain on the hurricane deck enveloped in his storm coat paced uneasily up and down, the wind increased and whistled through the guys of the smokestacks and made the entire boat tremble. There Was nothing to vary the monotony except the quick,nervous puff-puff of the steam as it escaped from the funnels and the rushing of the waters below as the steamer plowed its way through the river. The watchman was called by the captain and told to go below and make a thorough search and report belore the water was changed. In a few minutes he returned and said that he had detected the odor of burning cotton below amidships. Ere the words were well out of his mouth, the alarm of fire was given and spread from mouth to mouth, until every one was aroused. All hands were ordeied forward, but too late to be of any service—the flames fanned into volumes envel oped the boat from top to bottom, and rapidly made its way forward, consuming as it went. Men, women and children in their night garments rushed hith er and thither, crazed with fear. Above the noise and confusion the captain’s voice was heard calling to the pilot, "Can you take her to the hore?" and from the pilot house, enveloped in smoke, came back the answer, “I will, ordie.” The burn ing mass soon crashed into the cot ton-woods and willows, and then, but not till then, the brave pilot left his post. Some had leaped into the waters of the river to t rise r.o more; others crowded like sheep upon the forecasde and begged the captain to save them. When the boat was landed in the swamp they climbed the trees and secured them selves to their branches; others clung to the bales of cotton floating around in the river. In half an hour the magnificent steamer, which, a few hours before, was on its passage home, became only a blackened hull, the charnel house of so many beings hastened to an un timely end. The moon looked down upon a pitiful scene—women, with their babes clasped tightly to their breasts, Knee deep in the slimy -wamp mud; the dead and dying around in ghastly array; strong men broken down with grief, wailing the loss ol ioved ones; all who few moments ago lay peacefully dreaming in their berths, exposed now to the piercing blast of the midnight wind. All suffering has an end. Next day another steamer came to succor the living and min ister the last sad rites to the dead and dying. A few years ago, in one of our Western cities, a man was hung for murder, and upon the platform of the gallows he conlessed that, for the purpose of robbery, he set fire to the ill-fated Eliza Battle, and escaped in the confusion incident to the rescue next day, when they were taken on board the steamer. What an end, and how sutely does retribution fall upon the wicked; but not always, as in this case, here on earth. F. S.
