TilE suN. ta~ArWKLI~ HABIT M V. UA.! H ■ W>W • BENSON ft McGILL. Editor*. JL 0. McCURRY. Associate Editor. An inhuman mother left a fifteen clays old infant in a Air Line passenger the other day. and nobody was Cool enough to see if it was a Dutch baby. Carr. John R. Wilder, a prominent citizen and steamship agent of Savannah, was found dead in his bed at the Kennesaw House at Marietta. November Ist. Some of our exchanges must have money to3oan, from the way they are grumbling about the new usury law. Their “princi pal” is to look out for the interest. MaRCEI.U'B Thorton, in a letter to the Augusta News. says. Toombs is wind ing up his business preparatory to dying, notwithstanding the General saya he ia in y;ood health. Wk have received No. 3 of Our County, w new paper published at Warrenton by Neal A Pilcher. It is typographically neat -and well edited. Warrenton now has two good papers. I The Republican papers continue to rant I about Ben Hill's letter. Well, who could ! have expected anything else. Whatever the honorable gentleman could possibly have written would have been allee samec. That wide-awake iVewa-paper of Au gusta has been enlarged. It has Moore in than many larger papers, and w ill have to enlarge again soon, judging from its ex traordinary advertising patronage. We love it—it's a daisy. We have on our table No. 1, Vol. I. of the Daily Athens Banner, in which the proprietor, lion. 11. H. Carlton intro duces Col. Thaddcus Kosiusco Oglesby as editor-in-chief. It is neat and newsy and merits success. Athens needs a good daily peper. Zachariah Chandler, Senator from Michigan, was found dead in his bed at the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago, on the morning of November Ist. He was a great leader in the Republican party, and an open enemy to the South. But the grave ■ covers him and his faults. Peace be to his his ashes. On, give us a rest on the Renfroc matter. It is useless to discuss the action of the 'Legislature now. He was acquitted—and i that’* all there is about it. If some of the ) papers that arc indulging in long-winded editorials on the subject would till up the space with good clippings, their columns would be more interesting to a majority of their readers. New York elected a Governor and a Legislature yesterday, and by many it is thought that the result will decide whether we will have a Democratic or Republican President in 18S0. At any rate, if New York elects a Republican Governor. Sam Tllden's chances for a nomination will be slim. The returns are anxiously looked for. On the same day, Maryland, Massa • chusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin elect Governors and Legislatures, and Connecti cut, Miasissippi, New Jersey and Virginia elect Legislatures. We regret very much to learn that Au gustus I). Foreacre, son of Col. 0. J. Forcacre, died of typhoid fever on the 31st ult. He was quite young—only nineteen —and universally esteemed by all who knew him. He had lately been appointed ■ Miperitendcnt of the Klberton Air Line, and the last business he attended to was • delivering iron on the Hartwell Railroad. Since his death we have heard a number of people speak of his uniform kindness and I politeness, and say he was a most promis ing young man. Capt. Craft says it is an . other exemplification of the old adage : *• Death loves a shining mark.” The pa rents will not lack for human sympathy. WILL IT PAT ! Under the above caption, we dip the fol low ing sensible urtiele from the Forest News, and commend it to the serious con sideration of discontented young farmers. Too many young fanners are deserting their plows and going into the *“ mercan tile ” business, ns they call it, which con *jsts in working for a mere song and wear ying •* store clothes.” About the only re deeming thing about this kind of mercan tile business js that you can keep your shirt front clean and vour boots blacked. 'But here is tke article; read it, and spit -on your hands nad take a firmer hold of theiplo.w : How often do we hear the young men of ■the present day—farmers' sons—say that (farming docs not pay. and that they are on ■the lookout for soiaVtViwg which is more ipvofitable* Wirth this class we desire to itake.issue.for we ate of lb* opinion that (farming floes pay. In this assertion we are hacked t*y facts that can be proved. iLook at some of the most prosperous men tin the county; consider where they got itboir money and start from, and you will (find that it was dug from the soil of old slackaem. But a case in point, and the one that suggested this article, is that of Mr. Henry Roberts, a worth}’ and estimable gentleman, who lives up in the Mulberry settlement. In a recent conversation with ftriaa upon the subject of farming, be gave ms bis testimony upon the question. His experience was that in proportion to the uanagensent- it paid as well as any busi ness requiring ,t)ie same amount of capital. He said that wiien he commenced fanning la this count v. several years ago. he knew nothing of tli* business whatever, especial ly cotton raising, cud tbat a$ hie c*peri- cnee increased so did his profits, and that every year lie could see where better or a different management would have increas ed his profits. Now. in this observation of Ills about the kind of management necessary, wc think wc find the solution of the whole matter and the key to the trouble, which is in the fact that our pedple do not study their system of farming enough, and are too prone to take results as they find them, without any inquiry w hatever as to the probable cause; they are too much in clined to the idea that there is no science in farming. But enough of this, for wc will be con sidered assuming and egotistical if we say all wc think upon the subject. And it is enough to tell the people at one time that there are some who do not consider farm ing as losing and degrading business ; who are willing to admit that you can make some money, and not work yourself to dealli cither. And we trust that their ex ample will be followed by others, who will, in time, eome to consider their occu pation as not only honorable and profitable, but tlie most independent and noble occu pation that man can follow.

Gainesville Eagle: Those arc the days when tlie average editor beseecheth his subscribers to settle, and they settle—back on their haunches, and letJitiu rip. Boh Johnson, a negro who abducted and innrried without license a thirteen-year old white girl, was arrested in Concord. N. C.. on the 30th ult. The girl was an imbecile. A cotton-picking match recently came olf in Ellis county, Texas. Miss Sallie 11 os ford picked -111 pounds in eleven hours; Mrs. Braiey picked 009 pounds in the same time. A number of physician in New York have taken steps to inaugurate a war against vaccination. They say the law compelling parties to be vaccinated is an outrage.

The entrails of sheep are now used m California for machine belting, in place of hemp, winch is said to be much less dura ble. A three-fourth inch rope made from it will bear a strain of seven tons. Constitution : An exchange spenks of a prospective candidate •* whose integrity is as sound as a dollar.” An opposition pa per will probably name a candidate whose integrity is as sound as two dollars. Five hundred pounds of pumpkins were gathered from one vine in DeKalb county. Judge Davis gathered H2G squashes from one vine recently, in addition to those that had been used for the table during the sea son. A colored couple in Marion county were married one night recently and parted the next day. The husband wanted to go to a Methodist meeting nnd the wife wanted to attend n Baptist meeting. They are still separated. Augusta Chronicle : The Savannah river water, clear or muddy, is the healthi est drinking fluid in. the world.

We mean the man. who lets his baby cry all night in the arms of its mother, and does not sleep a wink, when Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup will quiet the baby by relieving its pain ; a bottle cost ing only '23 cents. Two women at Union. Tenn.. had a duel in regular man style. They both tired at the word, aud one hit a hoy who was climb ing over the fence with a watermelon, and the other hit a calf in the field. Both hav ing drawn blood they acknowledged that they had received satisfaction. A pretty incident occurred at Lebanon. Out., the other Sunday. Into the Metho dist church Hew a rohm during service. Perching on a rail opposite the pulpit it sang loudly when the people sang, was si lent during prayer, but when the minister preached it chirped occasionally as if to encourage him. It remained until the congregation was formally dismissed, and then flew away. New York World: One of two things must be true. Either nt the close of the war the Southern States came back into the Union and have the same rights as the Northern States to manage their own affairs under the Constitution, or they did not. if the former hypothesis is correct, the Stalwarts are howling against the Union, not against the South. Abbeville Medium : Ned Murphy, col., has given an order for a ne*t monument to he erected at the grave of his old mistress. Miss Esther Murphy, in the graveyard at Due West, and made a partial payment on the stone. The old lady died just before or about the beginning of the late war and has filled a neglected and forgotten grave for many years—not that either, for dur ing all these yeara her old slave, her pet ted servant N**d 4 remembered her and out |of hia little store has set apart enough to place c simple slab at her grave. Such instances of affectionate remembrance are rate and though lie is a colored man, there is something in this simple service of his dead mistress challenging the admiration lof all; and in the crowded giavevard at ; Due West there will he no more eloquent testimonial to departed worth than this simple slab, ** To My Dead Mistia !” Thotnasville Enterprise: All of us in this section are in a truly deplorable con dition. The farmers have made very little cotton and the rams have ruined all they have not nicked. They made but little com and that is rotting in the fields lie cause the land is so soft they cannot haul it. and the corn so wet they cannot gather it; and if they did. it is too wet to put up. The potatoes are so watery they are not fit to cat. and if they dig them they will rot in a few days. Peas are ruining in the fields for want of picking, and the sweet ness of the sugarcane is so diluted it will not make syrup. The negroes can’t work while it is raining and when it stops they all want to come to town to sec how it looks, and 110 work can lie gotten out of them ; and to cap the climax we are not even going to have a fair where we cap all meet and tell each other how hard the times arc. The merchants are blue as in digo ami the lawyers, well, if there is any thing bluer, they are that; and as (hr the printers, they arc blue-black. Still we live somehow. Anderson (S. C.) Journal : W. R. Par ker. colored, of the Fork, who was in town on Tuesday morning, tells us that he has positive information that a party of white men from Georgia called at his house the night previous for the purpose of demand ing his life. He thinks it originated in a personal difficulty into which he was forced in Livonia, (ia.. recently, with a white inan named Sain Knox. It happened that Parker was away from home, having come to Anderson on business and stopped near town on Wednesday night, else he may have had a rough time, to say the least of it. We place our unqualified condemna tion upon any such action, by whomsoev er or upon whomsoever committed, and wc hope that, if the report is true, it will not lie allowed to rest, hut that the parties will he speedily arrested and made to an swer for their lawlessness. Parker is a colored man anil a prominent Republican, but he is a citizen with as much right to the protection of the law as any other man. Waynesboro Expositor: We have n singular case of insanity in onr town. Win. Sturges, colored, the son of George Sturges. is about thirty years of age, some ten years since he had a severe attack of chill and fever succeeded by general low health, melancholy and religious insanity. For several years he met every passenger train both day and night that passed here, sav ing he was looking for The Lord. For weeks at a time he will take a stand at some ]wrticiilar place every morning, and thus daily stand for hours at a time scarce ly moving a muscle and saying not a word. If interrogated, he says that lie is put on duty at that place by •• The Lord ” in or der •• to put tilings right.” At present he is putting to right the business block op posite the Court House Square. Heseetns perfectly harmless and is not interfered with in his singular fancies. Warrenton Clipper : Our good neighbor, the Atlanta Constitution, is wrong in its attempts to discourage the principles of the late usury law. It is a fixed fact for the time being, and why not let it tell its own history after a proper test. The anx iety and restlessness of our worthy neigh-' bor brings about a suspicion that it is a greater benefit to the country people, and especially farmers tha t was at first thought for. Let the Constitution sav what ft m*y. one thing may Ih relied on. it is not advo cating the interests of the country people. Its pretentions in that direction arc entire ly too thin. Country people want no F.ngiish capitalists' nor any other capital ists' capital for which a high rate of inter est is demanded. Abbeville (S. C.) Medium: Charlotte, an old colored woman living on Mrs. Har ris' plantation at Harrisburg in this county was found in her cabin on Monday morn ing of Inst week dead and burnt to a cin der. She was about seventy years old and very feeble and bad been sick for some lime. On Monday morning Miss Sailio Harris went down to the cabin with n nice bowl of milk for Charlotte and opening the door found the body of the poor old wo man lying in the middle of the fireplace dead, with half her body burnt to a crisp. She had fallen in the fire in the night time and died a horrible death. The stenmship Fngland arrived in New York, October 20th. from Li'erpool. and when the cargo was about to he unloaded a man was found leaning against a crate, who faintly gasped ••water.” lie was terribly emaciated and weak. He was asked if he had been all these days while the ship was at sea without food anil drink, and he nodded once, shuddered and died. The body was sent to the morgue. The England left Liverpool October 13 and the stnaoay muU have been 13 days without food or water. Constitution : It is authoritatively an nounced that General Grant thinks of spending part of the winter in the South ern States. He will, it is thought, leave Chicago soon after the meeting of the army of Tennessee, nnd will naturally go direct from the Chicago of the North to Atlanta, which is regarded by most north ern people as the Chicago of the South. He mav also visit Cuba and Mexico, but that will probably depend upon how well lie likes this part of the country. Some of the negroes in North Carolina are highly indignant at the effort that is being made to deprive them of the right of sneezing. They say they have always sneezed when they felt like it, and intend to keen it up. which they have a right to do under the regulations and provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment. They oppose, in toto, the monopoly of the white man in the luxury of sneezing. They say the next move will be to deprive them of the right of catching cold. The Atlanta Republican says: The De mocratic party are like the thieving mon key. the higher they climb the plainer they show their corruption theft and robbery. To which the Sparta Ishmaelite aptly retorts : On the other hand, the Radicals arc like the fragrant, omnivorous goat. It doesn't take climbing to reveal their dia bolical and loathsome imperfections; for they stand out bare and naked to the eye on a dead’ level. Corruption in our national affairs lias the same effect on the Government that a severe Cough nr Cold has upon the human system, I‘nlitp'ai reform in the former and Dr. Bull’s Cough Svrup In the latter case will remedy the evils.

WILKINS, gyjOfc ” In the opinion of Ben Butler, whoso sa gacious vision extends far beyond the nar row limits of the Old Bay State, the ” solid West ’’ is hound to become the dominat ing power of the country, and all the cry that is raised about the danger of a solid South is but a snare nnd a delusion. After 1880, the cry of the perplexed East to the solid South will be, “Come now, and save us !” There has been no negro emigration to Texas yet, that state, which made only two hundred thousand bales before the war. now grows nearly a million. The cotton is made by white labor in Texas, just as it is made by white labor to a gteat extent all over the South. It is while la bor thnt is running the cotton crop into the five million bales, and then we will have our factories to spin for the home de mand. ami we will export immediately from our cities all that the world will need.
