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.

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.
