TUB DEMOCRAT AND THE COUNTY
AD VBRTrsING.
Manyof our subscribers have ex
pressed to us their disappointment at
not finding the legal advertisements of
the county in our columns. We sym
pathize with tUeir disappointment, so
much even that we have sometimes
felt inclined to insert them any way.
» P we proposed ta* to
r 1 P ubl i<»tiou ofth|
t Dhat portion of tiie advertis
i cb is under his control. He at
at time waived a decision. He lias
so waived several applications that we
have since made. For thus acting he
may have reasons which satisfy his
own mind. But we think that he is
acting unfairly by tbe jieopie of the
county—more of whom rend the Dem¬
ocrat than auy other paper—and un
kiudly towards us. We are endeavor¬
ing to build up a impel* that shall bene¬
fit our town and county in all the sev
eral interests of our people. In this
effort we call upon all classes for a
generous support. Our friends have
kindlv resuonded by giving us a sub
script script ion-list ion-nsi which which entitles canue» us un to the
legal advertising of the county as a
right, and this right we will continue
to urge Were we to consult our
ings alone, we should not press the
matter further. But we think it due
our peoplfe that their advertising should
be done where they prefer.

HON. VHARLB 8 J. JKNKINS, DEAD
-
Ex-Governor Charlea J. Jenkins died
at bis home in Summerville near Au
gusta on the night of the 14th inst.
He had been m,feeble health for some
time and passed away, leaving a re
cord behind of which every Georgian
may well tie proud. When quite a
young rnau he was made attorney gen
erml of Georgia and showed great
ability. fidelity and legal talent,
His services as a member of the legisla
ture of Georgia are interwoven in the
history of the State. He was for
jtpars speaker of the House, which po
aition he filled with great honor. He
was appointed to fill the vacancy on
(be Supreme bench caused by the res
jgnation of Judge Linton Stephens dur
jng the war. and after he had served
the unexpired term of Jodge Stephens,
be was appointed for a full term by
Gov, Browo. On tbe 15th of Novem
ber 186->, he was elected Governor of
Georgia, and on tbe 11th of December
following was was maugurakeo. inaugurated His inau- "*»**
gura! address was one of the roost re
Markable h«lrd pure and patrictic ever
in Geontia. He left tbe Guber
■atonal chair honored, respected and
loved by all the people of the State,
and retired to private life. He was
Mnti rt8 a delegate to the convention of
1877, ana was made pr<* ident of the
body. He retired to private life again
after the convention adjrffirued, and
passed his remaining yeais at Ins beau¬
tiful home in Summerville.

to perpetuate h.s memory.for His name
with tiie great and good, will go
“sounding down the coroJors of
Time.” nor as ail expression, merely,
of <mr appreciation of his noble
deeds, but we would, in this rnan
ner, place before tne rising gener
alien of our great State a powerful
incentive to go and do as, Mr. Ste¬
phens did. The establishment of a
high school, one of tiie prime bjects
of tiie association, could not fail to re¬
sult in great g tod, not only to this im.
mediate community, but to the whole
people. We have yet to learn of a sin¬
gle school failing to do good or being
unnecessary in a community. The
importance and- necessity of the higher
education of our youth, we canijot
now discuss, Crawfordville, in poin t
of locality, and in its liealthfulness
and salubrity of climate, is tbe most
appropriate place for the Stephens high
school!
We would be glad to see a greater
interest manifested by our own people
in this great and good work.
UN It ELI ABLE LABOR.
Every farmer who has dealt with
him much lias learned by painful expe¬
rience that unreliable is the adjective
which roost aptfy describes the free 110
gro laborer. Nowand then one may
be found in whoso mlhereuce to tiro
terms of a contract reliance m..y be
P^ced ; but the great majority of
them, while seeming to have a very
clear appreheiromn of the fact Mint the
employer is bm>ml to perform Im part,
l b ue^ JjgT * *
they it offi them--Ives free to
leave an employer at any time u;i„n
the slightest provocation, or with no
provocation at all. and at all times re,
gard it as an olf3nce justifying a leave
if one exacts the service they havo
promised to rendor. With a thousand
vexatious arising from this unreliabili¬
ty of the negro do those propose to
themselves some benefit by hiring him
have to contend. But we hold that
white people do not do all that they
might to render this class of labor re¬
liable. Accepting it as a fact beyond
dispute aud beyond remedy that the
negro will not stand up to his promi¬
ses, they treat him accordingly. Many
white men pay no regard to one’s as
section that he is engaged, ’ hut con
tmue to pile him with arguments, giv
>ng special prominence to the offer of a
little nigher wages, and frequently
dropping a hint that the party to
whom they claim to be engaged is not
to pay. By these means he is
brought to believe by those whom he
reg.uds is of superior intelligence that
it is of small moment whether he keeps
»promise or not. Being treated as
destitute of principle, he very natural
ly comes to think that ue loses nothing
by beiug so. Tins would be a bad way
of treating the negro ir it affected no
farther harm than lowering his eharac
ter. But it does greater evil than this.
It lowers the whits nun who lesoits t >
such arts ior procuring labor, both in
his own estimation aud iu that of oth
ers. It begets jealousies and enmities,
which become aN tbe more intense
from being repressed When your
neighbor makes haste to einoloy the
laborer whom yon have dismissed for
insubordination* or who has left you
without warning, it is not easy to re
M8t the suspicion of tampering. Would
farmers do their might to render the
ambit .... ions of . that .. . reputa- .
negro more
tion which arises from the faithful dis
charge of engagements, their calling
wonld be relieved of ran ir of fta unc r
tainties, and their intercourse with
each other would be far more pleasant.
“Our brother in black” would be fickle
and *“'* unreliabie "“* after that could be done
for bis amendment. But ceitainly , ..
»i
would do something Uiwsrds making
him regardful of his promts if we
sought to impress upon hhn fiat his
promises should be kep .
