} gimgc. Well, it is aggravating to
have one of them fellers to come
! down here and be toaded and toast-
; ed by our people, and then go back
home and write a whole passe! of
lies just to please Ills newspaper
ami the folks who read it. But I
don’t think wo ought to take on
about such things.. They do ns no
harm. Let ’em have all the end-
grants if they want them. Nashy
says that ‘‘the south dont get
emigrants because land owners
dont work as a matter of course.
Tlie small farmer wont work be
cause manual labor from time im
memorial has been done by negroes
only, and has been considered dis
reputable in a white mail. These
emigrants will not go to any coun
try where labor is considered a
degradation. They will not go to
a country where he who plows,
sows or reaps is counted ns noth
ing better than a “d—d nigger.”
All this has to be charged before
northern men or foreigners will go
southward.
I dont know Nasby. 1 dont
know whci her he is a knave ora
fool, and I dont care. According
to my peculiar views on emigration
he hnsent done the south nor me
any harm, but nevertheless thc lie
is all thc same, and if emigrants
and northern men have been kept
away from us because they believ
ed that our farmers dident work
and that labor was disreputable at
the south, they must have been
told so by just such plausible scrib
blers as Nasby. 1 walked ten
miles last Thursday in plowed
ground dropping corn, with a lame
back nnd tlie jerking vheumatism
in my shoulder, and when 1 got
done ( was all in a sweat of pers
piration, and my ueck bone was in
a twist from looking one way so
long; but I never felt more respec
table in my life than when I sat
down to my turnip greens nnd
fried eggs for diuncr. I have no
idea that Nasby ever experienced
or enjoyed such respectability in
his life, and hcoughtcnt topiclond
to lie familiar with such n subject.
I can say emphatically that labor
is of all things thc most respecta
ble thing among our people. We
have scvcral|nblc.bodicd individuals
down here who dont like lo work,
but it is not bccnuBo they dont res
pect it. It is because they are too
lazy. They lack thc inclination.
1 reckon there are some ol thc
game sort everywhere, and they
will res rrt to most any respectable
dodue to keep from it. Krcn to
writing lies for newspapers. Tlie
farmers ol the south are her labor
ers. Nine tenths of them work
with their hands and work every
dav, and work hard. They are tire
bone and sinew of thc land Three-
fourths of the men who fought our
battles in the into war were work
ing farmers, and their son9 are
working now, and there is not a
considerate father in the south who
would not rather his daughter
would marry one of them than to
wed the average young lawyer or
doctor, or clerk of our towns nnd
cities. I confess that my curiosi-
ty is excited to know whether
industry and thrift, of her people.
Nasby has revarnished the old pos-
silliferous idea that the North had
of ns before the war, that we all
had nigsers and made them work
and didont do any work ourselves.
But the truth was not ono man in
twenty-five owned a nigger, ami
the masses of our population had
to work or sti rvo. There was a
small slave holding aristocracy and
they dident work with their hands
no more than the money aristocra
cy of the North worked. Rich
folks don't do manual labor any
where, but the war broke up this
aristocracy and leveled them down
and the hard working men came to
the front and took tlie lead in every
thing. Thc rich folks couldent
stand adversity like the poor.
They retired from the turf and
and common stock took tlie track
and hayc kept it. This is the logic
of events, the swing of the pendu
lum.
But there are some folks down
South who don’t care a cent where
emigrants come here or not. If
they want, to come wo say come,
and if they don't want to wc say
f ;o somewhere else. Wc arc sorter
ike an independent family who
moves into a new settlement. If
the nnbors call they arc welcome
and kindly treated." If they don’t
call nobody cries about it. In fact,
we don’t want them to come by the
ship load, 1,300 at a timo. I don’t
want any 1,300 to settle down by
me. Wo just want them to come
along slow and get acquainted and
fall into line. We want the piek
of tho Northern people ami we are
getting them, and we want those
who are not afraid of us and don’t
believe we are barbarlous. We bad
enough of thc scum and thc buz-
zards just aftor the war, and that
experience put U9 in the cautious
state; wo don’t want any thieves
nor tramps nor carpet baggers nor
slanderers of our people. Wc want
to maintain our identity as a South,
ern people, poor and proud nnd
contented with onr homes; wc will
people this country fast enough let
alone. Why, I see that Dr.
Talmage has got alarmed and
preached a sermon not long
ago in which he said “this
thing of encouraging immigra
tion lias gone too far; we are in
danger or losing onr nationality;
wo aie importing communism and
infldelity and anarchy and dyna-
mite that will be heard of in due
time."
Somolimcs I think that Provi
dence has a special regard for our
peoplu and is saving us from tlds'in-
vasion of promiscuous immigration.
Thc negro soils us mighty well and
if they keep tlie foreigners away it
is alt right. I don’t wunt to swap.
It is a curious thing lo mu whut
people want with such a dense popu
lation. Ol course wc want enough
to he social and have schools and
churches, but there is a limit to its
propriety, nnd I wouldent move
away just because n man had come
within five miles of me, neither do
I want to live in Hie house with an
other family. I would rather see

Another Railway Enterprise.
A movement isjon foot to build
a new air line road from Atlanta
to Baltimore, to compete with the
Richmond A Danville and the East
Tennessee, Virginia k Georgia sys
tem. The Central Railroad of
Georgia—a recognized power ju
thc South—is believed to be behind
tlie new project, and persons have
been sent to Baltimore to negotiate
with the merchants, who proposed
furpishing the Richmond k Dan*
villc Road with $2,000,000, to se
cure the loan for the new line. An
air line between Atlanta and Balti
more would only be 680 miles long.
As tbe city of Baltimore bus $1,-
000,000 already invested Jn the
Valley Branch of the Baltimore. A
Ohio Ruilroad, tho proposed
scheme is to complete this Valley
Branch of line from Salem to
Roanoke, in which case of the towns
along the line have agreed to sub
scribe $850,000 in case.
From Roanoke to Asheville, N.
C., the line would run through a
country rich in lumber and cotton.
From Asheville tlie newly complet
ed portion of the Western North
Carolina could be used to Wayhos-
ville and thc new road would be
built thence to Atlanta. The dis
tance saved would be nearly or
quite 200 miles, and thc grades be
ing light the cost of construction
would not be large. The Georgia
Central Railroad has long been
seeking a line to the North, and
this is thought to be a good chance.
If the loan of 2,000,000 from Baiti.
more can be secured for the new
Hue, there is every probability that
it will be built.
Flint River
Sofllh Georgia Clarion
In the promotion of the public
interest in the timber, cotton and
other produce this river should bo
made navigable, at least to Albany.
In the general interest of the coun
try this noble stream should not be
lost to commerce. There arc few
rivers in thc country wbicli with so
small an outlay could be umdo so
useful to thc "country. Naturally
wc believe in economy on the part
of the general government, nnd
think each State ought to clean
out its own rivers. That is- the
sound good old Democratic doc
trine. But on this matter of ap
propriation, as on tbe tariff, we'etiy.
let us rulurtn justly and prudently.
Now admittinn that so much public
money lias been voted away, while
tlie Republicans have had control,
that the very mention of river ap
propriations sickens a conscien
tious Congressman; admit the fact
that Congress Ims voted millioosto
Northern streams not half so im
portant as the Flint, and yet it
strikes us that Congress should bal
ance the account by giving South
ern rivers judicious nid, see that
the money is properly used, and
then put on the breaks awhil*.
Heedless Watermelons
A correspondent of the Tallahas
see Floiidian says; “It may be a
matter of. interest to your many
readers to know bow to produce
tbe seedless watermelon. As Boon
as tlie vine Ims attained the length
of three feet or more, place under
it, about midway tbe vine, the
amount oi compost you would put-
in a bill, to do which it Is best to
excavnte thc earth, and briog to a
level with good compost. Placo the
vine over til's nnd cover to a suffi
cient depth to prevent drying, leav
ing out as much us possible of tbe
bud. As soon ns it has taken rout
cut it loose from the parent stem.
If there should lie a bloom, or
bloom bud, before it takes root, in
the place of seeds there will he white
pulps, but none afterwauls.” j.
