SARD lit TilECOTTOX.
Tbero has been considerable
complaint by manufacturers of
lste years of the Increased amount
of sand feuud in American cotton,
and there have been many insinu
ations that the planter is not strict
ly honest and that this sand was
put in to make it weigh more.
Now we want to explain this sand
business and defend the integrity
of our planters. You see of late
years the planters have been using
large quantities of commercial
fertilisers, and as these fertilizers
are composed principally ol am-
moniated sand, the plants take up
this sand, hence the sand in the
cotton. Onr planters grieve over
this new development in Cotton,
but they are powerless in the mat
ter and can only suggest that the
manufacturers petition the ferti
lizer men to use more perfumo and
less sand.
A IIUMOKOl'S LETTER.
On another page will be touud
letter to Loois Brix, written by
one of Georgia’s best humorists.
It abounds in sharp |>oiitlcal points
expressed in n humorous manner,
and exposes the pretensions ot the
Independent party as ti party of
patriotism, progress and intolli
gence. We hope to publish other
letters from the same faoilc pen.
In another column will be found
the prospectus of the Atlnnta Con
Million. This papor lias of late
shown new energy and life in tho
collection of news and in its edi
torlals, aud is a paper worthy of
the entorprising city and state in
which it is published.
It is stated that Uov. Colquitt
has said that as soon as he is offlo-
tally informed of the passage and ap
proval of the apportionment bill he
will take into consideration the
question of calling the Legislature
ol Georgia together in extra session,
to rcdistrict the Stale.

Lr.Esntho, On., March 9,1882. •
Mr. Loots Brix—You’re the ace
of trumps; you’re an undeveloped
political bonanza; you’re one of
the biggest circumstances that has
yet transpired; in a word, you’re a
breech-loading, hair-triggered can
non of tlie most canonical stripe.
Sir, I stand ready on a moment’s
warning to endorse either your po
litical creed or your promissory
note. With a little preparation
you’re .the very artesiancr who is
prepared to bore through the thick
strata of Bourbonism.
But you have unfortunately got
some things heels upward. I am
afraid you haven’t memorized Dr.
Felton’s letter of accep—no, De
duration of Independents—lately
ordained, established and with
much travail delivered in the city
ol Augusta. He makes out a plan
calculated to secure the recruits
who don't want ofiicc. He pre
sents the wisest and in fact the
only successful plan to remedy the
evil of which you complain.
He says—I quote from memory
—“We are going to lie middling
hard up for votes it none but the
honest, tax-paying citizens are per
mitted to exercise the ballot.
(Cheers.; Our glorious, notorious,
uproarious party must not thus be
hauled up with a short jerk in the
middle of its career’ by odious en
lightenment aud abominable integ
rity as they now away the sceptre
of empire over the down-trodden
South. We roust repeal the poll-
tax restriction upon voting. That,
and that alone, will lilt the flood
gates and empty the sowers of so-
oloty into the mighty current of
Indcpendcntlsm. (‘Hit’em again’
anil immense cheering by Mrs. Fel
ton.) Then we'll have voters
enough and to spare—voters who
don’t want ofllco nnd don’t even
know the meaning of the word
Then, my beloved brethren, the
scum and filth, the rag tag and
bobtail of the land will come from
the highways and hedges, flocking
to the supper of the Independent
nnd Republican fiancees. (‘Thnt’s
s-o-w so,’ by Mrs. F.) Brethren
dependent from patriotic motives.
I want no office whatever, but I
think that I am entitled to an ap
pointment under some person who
docs hold office. As I am more
independent in politics than cir
cumstances, if the party thinks my
services and talents entitle me to
the position of principal keeper of
the state treasury, an intimate ac
quaintance with roy own merits
leaves me no alternative but to
sanction their decision.
Yours in the bonds of an indis
soluble brotherhood,
X.
Tho Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger pays the following merited
compliment to the Representative j arc afraid of this Iudepcudcut bus-
it is folly to disguise the fact that
no man in this state is unable to
pay bis poll-tax, and that those
who lose their votes by its nonpay
rnent waste five times the amount
in whisky and attendance on cir
cuses, so to speak. But ‘necessity
knows no law.’ Wo are obliged
tv encourage these people to
squander their money, besot them
selves and keep the coming gener
ation in ignorance, or the sceptic
will be ‘wrested from our gripe.'
Whon wc shall have accomplished
all this and when marshals stand
at the polls to intimidate tho hon
cat and intelligent' nnd Jwtien wc
shall have the beautiful radicalism
always fruitful in (here a word was
lost by the reporter), then will
there lie a mighty increase ill our
political family; then will the cry
no longer be ‘more voters.’ The
horrid place, ah! whieli has hither
to been paved with good inten
tions, can thereafter tie paved with
surplus and superfluous lncte|ieml-
ent rotes, nh! (Immense crying
by somebody's baby.) I may
probably be asked, is this rectus in
poro couscientie—that’s the Latin,
ain't it honey ! Bed us in jioro
conscience 1 Yes, indeed! Abra
ham propetrnted a worse swindle
for a less laudable purpose, and 1
am an Abrahamictnnn in every sense
of the word. I want all these
voting Lazuruscs rammed, cram
med ami jammed into tuy spacious
political bosom—don’t 1 wife.*”

Drayton, Ua„ February 28th,
1882—Editors Constitution: The
six most successful farmers of ray
county (Dooly) are all cotton pro
ducers, but arc strong advocates of
diversifying of onr crops. They
invariably raise their own corn and
meat, nnd if not disturbed hy the
“hog cholera,” they sell both corn
nnd meat. Tligy plnnt cereals suf
ficient to make them self-sustain
ing. With one exception I don’t
think that they have purchased any
corn in market in fifteen years—
Willinm H. Morgan, John A. Hol

sett.
Continue to adwente the diver
sifying of onr crops, and if the far-'
