GRIFFIN GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 28 1888
A FARM*!! T ALKS T O BILL STB.
Agricultural Fmpects and the BenidMs
of a High Tariff,
"1 don't b’unid the boys for going
into something else long ‘c other
things pay better ; but I 6ay—and I
say what I know—that the man who
holds the prosperity of this country
in his hands, ihe man that actually
makes money for other people to
spend, the man that eats three gotd,
simple, sqaare meals a day and goes
to bed at 9 o’clock, so that future
generations with good blood and
cool brains c .n go from his farm to
the senate and congress and the
white house—hi is the man that
gets loft at last ro inu his farm, with
nobody to help ;nm but a hired man
and a high proactive •; tariff. Tlie
farms in our state is mortgaged for
over seven hundred million dollars.
Ten of our western states, I see by.
the papers, has got about three bil
lion and a half mortgages on their
farms, and that don't count the chut
tel mortgages filed with the town
clerks on farm machinery, wagons,
stock, and even crops, by gosh ! that
ain‘t two inches high under the
snow'. That's what the prospects is
or f> inns now. The government
is rich, but the men that mads it,
the men that fought prairie fires and
prairie wolves and Injins, and pota
to bugs and blizzirds, aud has paid
the war debt and pensions and every
thing else, and hollered for the un
on and the republican party and
high tariff, and anything else that
they was told to, is left high and dry
this cold winter with a mortgage of
seven billions and a half on the
farms they have earned aud sived a
thousand times over."
‘•Yes ; but look at the glory of
sending from the farm the future
president, the future senator and
the-future member of congress.' 4
'•That looks well on paper, but
what does it really amount to ? Soon
as a farmer boy gits in a place like
that he forgetB the soil that pro
duced him, aDd holds his head as
high as a holly hock- He hellers
for protection to everybody but the
farmer, aud while he sails rouud In
a bighty-tigbty room, with a fire in
it night and day, his father on the
farm has to kindle his own fire in
the morning with elm slivvers, and
he has to wear his son's lawn tennis
suit next to him or freeze to death,
and he has to milk iD an old gray
shall that has held that member oj
congress when he was a baby, by
gorry! and the old lady has to so
journ through the winter in the.flm
Dels that Silas wore at the riggatter
before he weut to congress.
,l So I say. and I think that con
gresa agrees with mo : Damn a far

“THE DEAR FARMERS I"
ARE URGED TO PLEDGE
THEIR CANDIDATES.
Term Legislators Wanted* -Pro¬
tection Wanted For Farmers as
W r ell as For Others.
Haralson. Ga., Feb. 25tb, 1888.
Here I am again dear brethren
with a little more advice,
for, but nevertheless I will
it at aDy rate. The year 1888
fair to be a notable yearjfor sloe
nil over the country—presi
goveruers, congressmen, legis
&c- Let us look back twenty
and come over the election
carefully and learn wisdom.
these long twenty years who in
professions have been our
farmers) special friends save
the press gaug? The entire profes
outside of the press, have
pulled for No. 1. Here we are again
visited by the office seeker, mixing
mingling among the dear peo
pic. Wbat for? Our votes. As to
the president, and governer of our
own empire State, they should re
ceive the hearty vote and Democratic
co-operation of all and be returned
to the chairs they have so honorably
filled during during their terms of
office. By all means, return govern
or John B. As to the 5Lh Congres
sional District, Stewart fills the bill.
He has no equal. Return him. But
id Georgia’s house of representatives,
there must be radical changes made.
Be sure of one thing. Let the office
seek the man. There are bills before
the next legislature, dear farmers,
that we as a profession are directly
interested iD, and if we make a mis
take in casting our votes, we may
live a lifetime of regrets. Caution,
then, should be our watchwordiu our
different primary elections and con
ventions. and we have a perfect
right to demand pledges, and eu
force them, of those who are so de
sirous to represent the dear people.
Then again, there will be elections
in the legislature that will prove ben
eficial or detrimental to our interest
as a professiou. Fonder ye well
what I say, what is the law in refer
ence t« the convention of the Geor
gia legislature? How long to stay;
how many days Ac., is the law un
der the constitution of 1877 obeyed
by our honorable Representatives?
Why not, what power have they
to ex end the term from forty (40)
days to one hundred (100) days.
Look ye well, tax payers, to what I
say. Where is the fault; in whom?
How many times have the press spok
en out in opposition to these lengthy
terms; how cun it be stopped? Simp
lv and easily enongh. When you
pledge your vote, be sure yon have a
pledge iu return from him who is
the fortunate one-, said pledge to
contain the true elements and a
strict obeyance to the law and con
stitut on as regard* the ,: ur. of oon
vening and adjourning of the legis
lature and saving something to the
tax payers. Again, is it not almost
time to stop building railroads iu
Georgia with the peoples money 1
Could not u little donation of the
peoples money be given to build
Louses iu destitute portions
the State, and six instead of three
tuition (free money) towards
the poor children of Geor
whose Dame is legion? I am
dropping a few hints as I go
and a hint to the wise is suf
Again, would it be asking
our representative too much that
use their legislative power to
enacting wholesome laws of
for us as well as other j
Fellow farmers, a*, the
box is the place to render
these most important services, and
who will Dot pledge his entire
iu that direction leave him
at borne. More anon.
Mr. W. L. Garrison, who some
six weeks since bought of Bass Bros,
a very fine young mule, had the mu
fortune to lose him last Monday—
died of congestion of lungs, it is
8*id. Mr. G. has my fall sympathies.
This week has been indeed a rainy
week and quite an impediment to
the farmer's interests in advancing
tbsir farming operations.
Mr. M. S. Swygart some twelve
(12) years ago bought a lot of land
from Capt. John McCrary for $45.00
to be paid for ib ten years. Mr. S.
paid for it in nine years and support
ed n good sized family besides. How
did he do it? Hear bis own lan
gaage- “I sold corn, meat, fodder,
potatoes, flour, cotton and oats.“
He did the labor himself with hired
hands. He says since be got out of
debt, some two years since, be has
made uo money. There are two se
crets to the above good luck of Mr.
S-» one is diversified farmiug, the
other economy. Here is a straw.

Another Yersion of the Affair.
Griffin, Ga., February 23.—Kdi
tors Constitution: I find in your pa
per January 23, 1888, an account
the capture of Murfreesboro, Tenn.,
by General N. B. Forrest, July
1862.
Your correspondent, B. S.
ton, in said account, unintentionally
I suppose, robs the Second Georgia
cavalry ef its share of the laurels
gained in the capture of the court
house on that day. I was, at
time, but a beardless youth of eigh
teen summers, and would be loath at
this late day to trust my memory
alone, but I find that the recollections
of others who were with me at the
time coincide exactly with my own.
I, therefore state, fully satisfied that
I ain correct, that H. C. Burr, \V. J.
Bridges, C. B. Walker and myself,
of com pa it v E, v-e.-.nd Georgia caval
ry, were me first, or ai least a part
of the lies’, to enter the couithouse
and demand oi ihe Federal soldiers
upstairs a flag of truee, under penalty
of being burnt out. They re-
piled by sticking a white flag upon
tbi point of a bayonet and waving
it at the head of the stairway, wbeis
upon we wen; up and found il to be
the heidquirlers of Capt. Rounds,
provost m trsbal. Mr. Copeland may
have gotten the key, but we got the
aide arms. W. S. Bridges brought
off some half dozen pistols, also a
camp knif -, fork and spoon, on
which was engraved the t o *
Capt. Roan Is. I also gol a pistol
and bowie knife, which 1 ca riid
until I was captured on a raid near
Elizabethtown, Kv., some months »f
terwards.
If this does not take up too much
of your valuable space, I would like
for you to publish it, in justice to
the above Darned Griffin boys, who
were at the front at that time aod
should have credit for the same
