The fourth of July is as ap
preaching and should be celebrate lev
erywhere. Years ago the fourth of
July, was celebrated univei sally
throughout the New United States, but
of late years tho sentiment of patriot¬
ism that once burned so freely in the
hearts of the American iieople seems
to have died out. The fourth was set
•PWt by our forefathers as a national
holiday, a day on which the people
made public demonstrations of tlieir

rut: LAWS QUESTION.
The Commissioner of Agriculture re
ports the latter supply for the State to
be seven per cent short of that for last
yew. and this in face of the fact Hurt
wages have advanced twenty tier coat,
In other vvords^ there haring been no
tdvauoe iq H* e pritje of farm products,
the margin for profit on hired labor j*
on - fifth less than last year. These
are facta, the jamderiug of which
ihould brilff fanupr lo tho con*
elusion that some cliaoge ,a absolutely
necessary. T*x ffo on offering higher
tad+igher w*geu when there ks noth
ing but tlie diminished supply of labor
to anthoriae any advance is h course of
the most decided unwisdom. A change
of programme must t>e made, or a gen¬
eral bankruptcy must com- upon all
who are attempting to run farms upon
hired labor. Three things suggest
UiemselVes ; first, tlit* L of labor
•Wbg magiuuorj, which will render
the employment of so much muscle tin
necessary ; second, the diminishing of
the acreage devoted to cotton, and the
culture in its stead of vegetables and
fruits; third, the abandonment of ;
mos’ of worn lands as cultivated fields,

all these “changes of lm.se.” we, might
reasonably anticipate the day when,
without soy influx of immigrants, lu¬

cheap enough. We are not warring
against those whose muscles aie then
only capital. We wish them to be paid
living wages for tlic-ir work. But we j
think that owing to the lack of Hound
judgement on the part of those who
employ, the laborer now dictates bis
own terms, and those terms are such
as render the chances of profit very
remote.
A PLICA*A NT TlllP.
On Friday last, the 1st instant,
visited the Classic city of Athens,
which, as all well know, has improved
wonderfully within the pant few years,
Athens has now some of the largest
business houses in the State, and bids
fair to become one of the leading cities
of Georgia, It is celebrated as having
been the home of several of Georgia’s
noblest sons, notably the
and Cobbs, whose names will live, mid
bo cherished in the memory of all
Georgians for generations to eoni' 1 . It
is the seat of Franklin College, the iu
stitutioii which sent forth the Ste¬
phens, the Johnsons, the Hills, the
Cobbs, the Lumpkins and others whose
names adorn the brightest pages
American history, ami whose deeds
will liveas monuments of their great,
ness through all coming time. M hiln
strolling through the campus and
viewing the college buildings some ,.f
them decked with the mosses of over a
| n ,if century, wo weie reminded <>f Gu;
illustrious sons of this Suite, who in
early youth received instruction there,
and to whom the nation is indebted
for the good they have done. Many ol
them have passed from the stage of ae
tion,leaving behind a debt of gratitude
which the people could have never paid.
We met l)r. Jas. S. Hamilton, one of
the most prominent and influential
citizens not only of Athens, but of the
State, and who was a strong personal
friend of Mr. Stephens. Thu Dr. said
he would cheerfully aid any cause
whose tendency was to do honor to Mr.
stepheus’ memory, llo thinks Mr.
