Well, when are you going to commence? Some of you have promised to do this very thing before, but you not only didn’t do everything in your “power to maintain (he suprem¬ acy <# the law," but if you have ever done anything at all it is more than has appeared on the surface. Talk is cheap, and it is a very easy matter to write resolu¬ tions and adopt them “unan mously’’ by a vote of twenty-five or thirty out of seventy-five or a hundred voters, but your talk heretofore has not amounted to anything. Now, if you are going to catch the fellows who tore up the jury box and the ballot box, and the fellow who T cot the indictments well ,, as .,. suppress s „ nn v -; S Lie t fie “blind i t-m-s’’ whv go ahead and do it.

But if you don't try; if you allow your “powers” to lay in its present normal state, like it has since the meeting adjourned, let me beg you in the interest of truth not to resolute so unani mously next time, but leave these matters to the courts and the properly accredited ollicers of this county, where they properly be¬ long.

Such a removal of skilled farmer from Ohio to Georgia cannot fail to be a great benefit to Georgia.

These ideas and methods will not prove to be suited always to the conditions in Georgia, but hv ad apting them to the Georgia ideas and methods they will beget im provements beneficial to both new comers and to 1 lie Georgia farmers. Recent statistics regarding farm ing in Ohjo indicate that moitga ges are a very general crop, which the farmers cannot get rid of, while in Georgia the last three years have seen the crop of mort gages mercilessly cut down.
