When Texas was annexed it re

South is that it is “organized.” a son of Josiali Warren, a soldier
They could as consistently cry out
against the different churches of
the country, tho benevolent socie
ties, and even the government, for
all are organized. There can be
na success in any undertaking
without organization, and the idea
of attempting to secure the pro
mulgation and adoption of any
piinciplcs or doctriucs without or
ganization is sheer folly. Wherev
er there may lie found any num
ber of men with similar views, who
wish to see those views represented
in church or state, there will be
found organization. The church
es have their conventions, confer
ences and synods, and parties have
their primury caucuses and con
ventions. Armies are organized
from squads to regiments and di
visions, and the better they are or
ganized the more Hiicuessful will
tliev lie. It is no reproach to the
Democracy of the South that they
ure organized, and it would lie bet
ter if Democrats all over the coun
try were better organized. It lias
been lack of organization on llicir
part and the bust ol discipline on
the part of their opponents tlmt
bus caused their defeat. So lung
ns there is a constitutional form of
government in tins country so long
will there lie organized parties,
and pne of those parlies will be the
Democratic.
Corn vs. Colton,
A writer in the Soitlhern Farm
er'* Monthly, says: “In my vicin
ity the planters arc paying one
dolinr for corn on credit, payable
out of the next year's crop. If
cotton should sell for 7 cents net,
it will require 14 2-7 pounds of
cotton to pay lor one bushel of
corn. If a man can exchange his
2,000 bushels of corn for cotton at
these figures lie will get 14,570
pounds of cotton for his crop of
corn, or about SO bales of cotton up
north to pay for the corn one man
can make. Is there any wonder
tlmt we are as poor as a chinch
mouse '! And Hill Arp is about
right, wlien lie says: “I am afccrcd
wo arc a nation of fools.” There
lias long been an impression up
north, and even in the south, that
wc cannot raise stock to profit;
tliut wo have no grass; can’t teed
stock; tlmt the flics arc too had;
tlmt we have too many diseases;
while the fact is, we have more and
better grass than the north has.
Wo can raise hogs, cattle, sheep,
mules and horses for one-ball' the
eost that it requires tip north.
And to fatten the stock for market
it can be done with pens even on
tho poor land of Georgia for less
money than it can be done in the
north; and, while we are raising
stock, Vvc are improving our lands
instead of wctiring them out. 1
am well aware tlmt there is a
strange faeisimtioii in planting cot
ton. We see in the spring tlmt
$10 a hale, mid ten hales to the
hand, lint from cause we can’t sec
the expense attending the making
ol the crop.
What Wc are Alter.
We now know wlmt the revenue
tariff lenders are after. They want
h'nglisli and all other countries to
bring lots of goods into this coun
try for sale, with large revenue du
ties on them so as to make the peo
ple ull pay a heavy tax to England.
The Amcriciis it EcouiiKii shows
tlmt by (lie figures to which it calls
the Clipjier'* attention. This also
accounts lor the desire lor a Imsty
payment of the national debt.—
Haurt'idon Clipper.
The Clip/ter is mistaken. So tal
as the ItivimiiKit is concerned it
wants only to see people relieved
rrom paying a heavy tax to any
one. We do not desire to see “Eng
land and all other countries bring
lots of goods into this country for
sale”—we desire only to see the ta
riff tax placed at such a figure that
of the revolutionary war, and was
bom in Burke county, in- this
State, February 27, 1802, and lack
ed but a few days of completing
his eightieth year.
Ho was a brother of Hon. Lott
Warren and lirother-iu-law of Hon.
Peter E. Love (both members of
Congress), having married Mis3
.Jane Love fifty-seven years ago,
who survives him. For sixty
years lie was one of the leading
lawyers of the State, having an ex
tensive and lucrative practice, and
for many years represented Lau
rens county in both brandies of
the General Assembly. During
the. Confederate si niggle, Ihotigl
over 03 years of age, lie shoulder
ed n musket in the defence of his
Stale. Ilis last public service was
ns a member of tbe Constitutional
Convention of 1877, in which he
took a deep interest. Gen. War
ren for fifty years was a member
of tbe Baptist church and was a
man of exemplary habits, and not
only has the denomination of which
lie was a consistent member sus
tained d great loss, b -t so liavc the
Christain churches in general,
since he was one who was always
ready to assist in doing good. His
death was sudden and unexpected
but was without pain.
Tlie following from, a late issue
of tlie Sparta Ishmaciitc, part of
an editorial referring to a kind let
ter wliieli tlie editors Imd just re
ceived from Gen. Warren, says:
“General Warren is one o( tlie
last of the generation of grent and
patriotic Georgians who, decades
ago, laid deep and imperishable
the foundations of Georgia’s pres
ent honor and glory. Crawford,
Berrien, Dawson, Coiib, Johnson
and Warner bat e completed tiicir
records and gone to their rewards.
Past four score years of age, un
touched by temptation to wrong,
unsullied by even tlie shadow ot
slmme—true, pure, earnest, faithful
—a Georgian of Georgians, a patri
ot. of patriots, the noble old Gener
al still stands in the forefront of
battle for Georgia’s honor, ami
bides liis summons.. Well may tlie
snn of bis life linger in its docent.
Long bn it ere tlie stars shall shine
sipon bis honored grave! A life
of devotion to duty aid of unsel
fish sacrifice for the go id of others,
a life of unbetrayed trusts, o(
hardships bravely met, of honors
fairly won ami modesty worn—a
life iike this cannot last too long."
Tlie St. Louis Po*l-1’Hapalvh is
showing up rottenness that some
liow or other ivlwuys sets in wlien
property is put into tlie hand of a
receiver. Tlie Columbus Lite In
surance Company is the latest ex
posure. In live years tbe receiver
lias collected the-sum of $181,000
and expended for lawyers’ fees, re
ferees' fees, office, clerk hire and
stationery tlie siun of $175,970.
Not a penny of tjie money collect
ed lias ever been paid over to tlie
policy holders, for v. liose benefit
this insurance company is being
wound up. Of a million and a half
property put into tlie hands of the
receiver the creditors will never get
one cent. It will go to the fellows
appointed by the court to protect
the creditors. This js making jus
tice a sham, and similar practices
bring our courts into disrepute.
There is no excuse for saying that
tlie judges cannot control it. They
can at least protect creditors iroin
extortion nml wrong.
Tlie bill to allow farmers to sell
leaf tobacco tree from barbarous
restrictions now im|iosni by the
internal revenue laws was before
I the sub-commit tee of the Ways and
Means recently and was strongly
advocated by Congressmen Buck
ner and Hatch, of -Missouri. It
will be profitable to observe wlictli-
er or not tbe Republican majority
in Congress will refuse to grant
this needed relief to the farmers.
