CRAWFORDV1LI*E, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31,1880.
Dun

The Georgia Farmer.
The following article, taken from
the Georgia Enterprese we present to
our readers for their consideration:
Farmers of fieorgia awake, arouse
your selves this new year and see if
there is not some way to bring pros¬
perity back to the heart and home of
the tillers of the soil. The Enterprise
makes no suggestions, but it appeals to
you to exercise your judgement and do
all in your power to free your self from
debt and dependence.—The farmers,
all over the world, are carrying a heavy
burden in the shape of mortgages and
cbligations. This state of affairs Is
demoializing to every enterprise, every
calling and every proffession. The
only remedy we see is to raise the nec¬
essary supplies at home, make the
farm self sus taining, diversify crops
and by all means economize and try to
get on a cash basis. This is hard to
do, b ut it must be doue, or the worst
has net yet come. From the Augusta
Chronicle we see that the great West
is as bad off as tbe sunny South.
The discussion over the condi 1 ion of
the Georgia 1 armors reveals the fact
that they are not in a good condition,
and that as a class they have been
growing poorer each year since the
war.
But investigation shows that tbe
farmer of tbe W est is as bad off as his
Southern brother. One would suppose
that on the ricli prairie lands, where
tracts were settled and obtained in
patents from tbe government, where
soil is fresh, markets new and demand
plentiful, farming would tie found at
its best and tb at there at least the
planter would lie prosperous and in¬
dependent.
Reports show, for instance that ov< r
one-fifill of tbe entire acreage of Illi¬
nois, is under mortgage for loans.
That is, twenty per cent of the land of
Illinois has been paid for aud naortaged
al'lei wards by its owner und'r pressing
need of inmiey. The amount of mort¬
gage in debtedyutss of Illinois, ouu
of railf'>i*d~«H.A i*ttv-pr<+iH»i-'y,-i3—ii
000,000. Uaite cou..ty alone lias sixty
thousand acres under mortgage. Near
ly eight million acres are liable to be
sold in Illinois for debt.
Men w ho search for the cause of the
farmers’ misfortunes must go further
Ilian Georgia* And they must go
deeper than tbe tariff, for the planting
class in England and other European
countries is as deep in the mud as the
American farmer in the mire.
Swore Off.
Georgia can boast of a model citizen
in the senior partner of the firm of
Gann & Murray of Athens. To a re
porter of 11.. E.tolop d.ronlol. l.e
recently gave the following remarkable
record for the last forty years; ‘hor
ty years ago this Christmas I got on a
spree, and it was my last. In June
afterward, I went into a bar room. I
c-illed C‘ l1 e<1 torn ,or,i drink ‘ ln " K ’ gi cave *. a boy 0 7 who
was tending tbe bar a $o gold ,, piece , to
get 5 cents out of it, an ' be accused
me of wanting to beat him out of a
drink, but finally changed tiie money,
horse was standing about twenty
steps from the door, and between the
barroom and horse I made resolve to
never drink another drop. I got on
the horse, came on by where my sweet
heart lived, stole her, came or. towards !
Athens, married her at a small church |
near Princeton, sp nfc my remaining
815 for some clothes for her, for tlm j
old folks would not let hrrhave any-,
thing, ami commenc d hie without
anything. We both went to work
with the intention to have some of j
this world’s coods and every Clirist
mas found us with more and more. 1

one morning laid a piece on tho man

and for over thirty veais liavo never

cigar in my life, and never played a
game of cards in my life- Twelve
years ago I quit cursi. g. I was most
profance, but one night my wife told
me tliat l ouglit to quit it. I told
her not to say another word about it,

Publish tlie Laws.
The lawyer i& a familiar charater in
all dommnnities; but Mr. Alfred Her¬
rington, of Emanuel, thinks he is not
indispensible.
This gentleman, a young lawyr of
ability, has intrduced a bill in theLeg
islatnre which provides that all gener¬
al laws shall be published one®in every
county, and all laws affecting each
county shall be published ouce in such
county.
Said Mr. Herrington to a Journal
reporter;
“My bill deserves more than pass¬
ing attention. It provides the means
by which every citizen of Georgia may
keep Informed as to tho laws of the
State. It will thus afford tho < best
of the interests and
of the people. To preserve tho peace
and harmony of tho Stnte, the citizens
must know the laws 1 Now whenever
the most trivial tiling is to bo done,
or any invasion of the rights resisted
lie must appeal to some lawyer, espeeil
ly trained to tell us what the laws are.
We would know what they mean if
we only know wtiat they are 1
*‘I want the people of Georgia made
familiar with their laws; and my bill
seeks that end by providing for the
publication in every county of every
law passed which affects that" county
generally or specially.
“I would practically make every
man nls own lawyer, that desideratum
of the book-makers; for every man
would have an opportunity of aoquuint
ing himself With the laws. The pet

the people know their legal lights they
would maintain them; if they knew
tile , legal . , rights . , of ... their neighbors .. they
would respect them.
“l lie only weak point i. in it. the mi bill t. is
the amount Io be paid to the publish
era. It is, perhaps, insufficient. But
the good which may bo accomplished
