HARTWKI.L, HART COI'XTY. GA.:
VrdnrMtßy Mnrnlnr, July 11. 1*77.
The Constitutional Convention.
This august body meets to-day, and
the eyes of the whole people are turned
toward it with anxiety and eager ex
pectation, and we hope that every dele
gate ifi thoroughly imbued with a strong
sense of his individual responsibility,
and an unswerving determination to do
his whole duty to his constituents and
the State. They have an opportunity of
doing much good or harm, we trust it
may not he the latter, and that genera
tions yet unborn will sing peons of praise
to this Convention, composed of Geor
gia’s best and truest citizens. As for
ourselves, we can live under any consti
tution that a salamander could, but we
would like to see some radical changes
made in this one, as we don't believe that
animal could stand it much longer.
We look anxiously to the head of this
body, as the Constitution terms Bob
Toombs, hoping to see and unwonted
display of cool, calm statesmanship, so
that the criticism of the past may be
drowned by the applause of the future.
We again reiterate what we consider
some of the leading essentials of the
new Constitution —abolishment of the
present inequitable homestead; reduc
tion of officers —but we are in favor of
paying those retained well; local legis
lation reduced to a fixed standard ; re
vision of the jury system; noninvest
ment of the appointing prerogative in
the Governor; biennial sessions of the
Legislature, with a fixed salary with
out mileage, drc.
We hope there will he a short, active
session, with no wrangling, no intermin
able oratorical display, but earnest, uni
ted endeavor to draft such a Constitu
tion as the people will he proud to ratify.
War News.
The war in the East drags its weary
length, and promises to be as long as
some of the unpronouneable Russian
names. Recent dispatches say :
In the battle on the 29th the Russians
retired after enormous losses. The Turks
buried 1,000 Russians. The Turks’ loss
was below 500. Since the 16th of June the
Russians have been defeated five times. It
is believed they lost 10,000 men on June
30th. Their wounded filled 800 wagons.
The garrison of Kars made a sortie on Sun
dajr and reopened communication with
Mukhtar Pasha. The siege of Kars must
be raised, if it is not already, a the invest
ing army must go to the relief of the left
wing ; otherwise the latter will be destroy
ed. The Russian officers suffered severely
and five of high rank were killed. St. Pe
tersburg dispatches deny that the siege of
Kars has been raised. The Government
publishes a dispatch from the Russian
camp before Kars, bearing to-day’s date,
describing a successful attack on a Turkish
battery. Mukhtar Pasha, however, has
sent a long series of dispatches to Constan
tinople, describing the victorious advance
of his own and the right column. In the
last dispatch, dated Alisoupie, July 3, he
says : “We passed the day in making rc
connoissances. This afternoon the Rus
sians abandoned Ranliamed, Hying to the
south of Kars across the Ardost heights.
They were pursued by our cavalry. The
Russian left wing is almost annihilated, and
fleeing before the Turkish right with such
precipitancy that they buried or concealed
their artillery and destroyed or abandoned
immense quantities of baggage and provis
ions. The road from Ailiatz to Kara-Kil
issa is covered with dead. Intercepted
Russian letters show that the garrison of
Bayazid is regarded as lost.”
Crop Prospect*.
The editor of the Columbus Enquirer—
a wide-awake observer not given to ex
aggeration—has just returned from a trip
through middle Georgia, and he comes :
back full of joy over “ the improved con- ;
dition o£our south land and promise of gen- j
erous crops.” “ Never,” he adds, “ has
Georgia been more richly blessed. The
yield of wheat, oats and other small grain
is unprecedented. In all middle Georgia
the wheat harvest has been plenteous, and
steam threshers are as busy as they can be. I
The acreage was very large, and the pro
duct is equal to that of the West. These
threshers will clean, count, and empty into
bags probably seven hundred bushels of
wheat per day. and require one-tenth for
tollage, and they are kept running the live
bmg day and far in the night. Corn is look
*ng splendidly. With a few rains in the
next, two weeks the crop will simply be
enormous, and Georgia will have to buy no !
bread. Fruit laden* the trees, and every
variety is abundant. From Macon hun
dreds of bushels of peaches are being ship
ped daily to the North. Cotton though
small, is clean and appears healthy, ami is
rapidly growing. Alabama shows the
same condition. If prosperous seasons
continue, thanks to a kind Providonce, the
South will he placed on an excellent pecu
niary basis, and once more prepared to
commence the assurnacy of the proud posi
tion she once occupied among the wealthy
and stable of earth. It does seem provi
dential that the year which has first wit
nessedthe removal of political chains should
also bring the blessing of glorious harvests
and returning prosperity. There must be
a divinity that shapes, our ends in mercy
and wisdom, for after (he many hard years
of toil and privation the beautiful bow of
promise spans the horizon with its glowing
colors.”
Tlic Future of the Koutli.
Southern Farm and Stock Journal.
After ten years of gloom and pecuniary
distresses, a brighter era is about to dawn
upon the South. The stories of the Ku
Klux, so industriously circulated and for
a time believed, have had their day, and
Northern and Western men are continually
arriving in Georgia and other Southern
States, for the purpose of purchasing
homes. There is every reason for believ
ing that the immigration into Georgia this
fall and winter will assume immense pro
portions. There are many and convincing
reasons why this should he so. No section
of the Union can claim advantages superior
to Georgia. The climate, soil and variety
of productions are all that could be de
sired. The rights of all classes are protect
ed. There is ample protection to life and
property. The school system is yearly
growing better. The obligations of the
.State are promptly met. The fanning in
terests are improving in every respect and
the indications are that in this State more
wheat will he gathered than will be need
ed to meet the demands for flour. Those
who move into our midst this fall and win
ter will, we think, find plenty to cat and at
moderate prices, while the land, as good as
can be found anywhere, can be purchased
at almost nominal rates.
The Ntntc Fair.
Atlanta Constitution.
We hope every farmer will remember
the State fair this fall, and let it be a part
of his plans for the year to attend it with
his wife and children, and bring something
along for exhibition. There are very few
who have not something of interest which,
with little inconvenience to themselves,
they might contribute to the display
—a colt, pig or calf, or a sample of fine
corn, wheat or oats, a cotton bale, or per
haps some needlework or butter, or breads
and such, by the housewife ; and surely
the pride of every Georgia farmer is a suf
ficient stimulus to induce him to undertake
this small amount of trouble, to say no
thing of the probability of his being mate
rially rewarded by a handsome premium.
The state fair this fall should be a grand
success, and will be, if the interest mani
fested by the people so far, is taken as a
criterion.
The advertisement which appears in this
paper, gives some specimens ot the premi
ums ottered, which show the marked lib
erality of the agricultural society in these
close times, more generous from the fact
that while values generally have been
scaled down to figures far below those of
former years, the society keeps the amount
of its premiums up to the olu standard.
The premium list will be ready for gra
tuitous distribution the latter part of the
present month, and will be mailed free on
application to the secretary at Atlanta.
Governor Colquitt has been elected a
lay delegate from the Atlanta District
Methodist Episcopal Church South to the
General Conference of that Church.
