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. ANOTHER INDEPENDENT HEARD FROM. The Atlanta correspondent of the Savannali News says that “Miss Mario K. Van Leer, of Washington, D.

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!

Albert Drane has 46 scholars in his school at Friendship. If we are correctly informed Albert is winning considerable reputation for himself as a teacher. There is not a town in Georgia, population and all things consider ed, that has two better papers than the Americus Bepublican and the Becorder. Long may they wave. Mr. J. P. Simpson was in to see us yesterday. He informed that he was getting along finely with Ids tupentine orchard, located in the piuo belt of Marion county. He has between 85,000 nnd 90,000 trees lioxed, and expects to have the spirits on the market by the 10th of April. I)r. Hawkins, of Americus, was in Buena Vista Sunday. Henry Mathis, col, who has been ofT in different sections of the coun try, returned to bis home in the Jacksonville district ol tblB coun ty, with a skin affection of some sort. The rumor spread that be had a genuine case of small pox. This created a regular furor of ex citement all over the county. The Board of Roads and Revenue met Tuesday and employed Dr. Wis dom to go down and examine the case and report to them in extra session the uext day. Dr. Wisdom reported that Mathis had only a humor of the blood and nothing more. DIV ERSIFIEIM’HOPS. The following letter to the Con stitution will show what a few of our Dooly county neighbor* think of raising enough material for home consumption. It will give our far mer readers something to think ovor: 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.
