EVANS d: MERRITT, Cotton Avenue, «»ppo*lte Ifoteh JalyIJml •DOES FAUMINH PAY IN HE0R0IAV world . and whiIe j do n0 not cc „. sure tbo man who could have been a farmer and would not, I at the same time take tho privilege that a humane man ought to be allowed to exercise and extend to such an one my Bympatby. But I would be doing a great injnstice to my con victions of the truth as I see things and admit there was nothing' to censure—nothing grossly and hurt- fully wrong in much of our man ner of doing things in our agricult ure. No man who has eyes to see could say this, and I think no man who loves Georgia shoidd be cen sured for raising a warning voice. By the methods pursued by a great number of farmers in Georgia and elsewhere, North, South, Kast nnd West, as I atn'informed, the results ot the farmer’s yearly toil and out lay are not by any means what they should and wlmt they might be. The false and faulty metnods I feel it to be my dnty ns an oillccr and patriot to expose, and as far ns in my humble power to reform. Wldlo I admit that the list of honorablu names succeeding in til lage, adduced by the oorrespon dent alluded to, contains no one that is well entitled to stand in it, I yet know that a far longer list of (allures might he presented which would justify all that can be said by way of qualification or oens.are. I have advised some young mon who consulted me as to the policy of their engaging in farming, and giving up tbeir present business, to look well to the hard realities of their intended calling and not be deluded by the thought sncccss in this new sphere was to bo easily won. In moments of free in terchange of thought, I have no doubt often expressed my feelings in regard lo the weighty questions of labor and production in a manner too careless for one whose opinions on theso subjects wore as likely to be closely scanned or severely criticised as mine. Bnt when gravely questioned I have never been reticent or backward My convictions in regal'd to these momentous oublccts arc too strong, and to some extent too serious, to be clightiy treated. The labor question Is* of vast proportions and consequence, and I fear is above the wisdom of this day and genera tion. A prophet must arise boforc tho end of that matter can bo pro- dieted, In the meantime, I am content to use all propor means to utilize tho black man and prepare for his substitute. While doing this I do not hesitate to tell my own pcoplo or the world that the farmer who relics entirely, or even to a large extont, upon negro labor, will loan on a broken stick. I fool very sure that few men who employ tho hireling colored man can, by any means of persuasion or any existing appliances, get out of bis labor as much work in six days of tbo week as he would be fairly en titled to have in lour. 1 know be sides this dclcet, that in provident care o( the farm and what is on it in all that natural and rccdlul vigi lance that the feeling of borne and home interests so naturally excites aro things of tho past. For these and a legion of other reasons, I am prepared to urge timely and wise preparation for the future exigency that is abcaJ of us, and that may be softened if not fully met by bringing more white muscle into the held. Improved machinery is doing this work now, and from this day forth will multiply its results. I mean by all tins not the least unfriendliness or indifference to the present status of the negro or bis destiny. 1 could not, if I would, change the heart of sympathy for that race which was born of the institution of slavery. My duly, however, is to declare to the peo ple of my State, who placed me where I am, what I think of all matters affecting their interests. It is a part of my duty to declare that if our people would read more; meet each other more in friendly counsel, in Club or Grange; adorn anil add more conveniences to their homes; enlarge the supply and range of those creature comforts that refine men while they make them fat and happy; I repeat—if all these were secured to our peo ple, wo would be the best provided and most contented population on earth. If men, as farmers, worked and watched and systematized as the merchant, the mechanic, the professional man is compelled to do, we would hear no more of fail ures or of tbo vexed debate, “Docs farming pay in Georgia?" Men that eat and indulge themselves three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, must not cxpcol to do this on four month’s labor. It is scant justice to abuse farming and View of lion. J. T. H.ad.non, Slot. Commluloncr of Agriculture. in the August number of The Southern Cultivator I find that a correspondent has re-produced the substance of a communication made to the Savannah Times of the 2d of July, charging that,I have main' tsined and still contend that “there is no money in farming in Georgia." This alleged opinion of mine, it is said by the writer, has “mot with a very decided amount of adverse criticism.” Strictly construed, the language here attributed - to me would have a world of significance and importance, if it happened to be true. It would mean that ono hundred and forty thousand farms in Georgia were only at host poor- houses, for the habitation and doubtful existence of four hundred and forty thousand unfortunatos who were pinned to them by a hard fortune. This, too, would indicate a speedy bankruptcy of the State, ,n °" llc ” 1 and a chnngo of vocation for nearly one-third of the population of Georgia. To my mind the hare suggestion that such a state of things as this was impending, or was probable or possible, should strike terror into our hearts, and startle us worse than the fear of invasion by an army. The facts which underlie such a discussion ns this aro bo obvious, and indeed so lew, that it docs 6ecm to me there should be no chance top such blundering and gloomy forecasting as I have been charged with in con nection with it. If our farms aro not self-supporting, from what quarter does the charity come that has been propping them up for these many years baok? I)o our merchants, or mechanics, or the liberal professions supply their lack? Or do our dear brethren of the Kast give their tribute in cloth ing, nnd our dear brolhera of the Northwest give tho eleemosynary meat and bread that helps perpetu ate our farming for lun? And it becomes a serious thing to discov er what mysterious influence it is that so fascinates our farmers with this life of penury nnd failure that the increase of the number of farms in Georgia was from about 70,000 in 1870, to nearly 140,000 in 1880. The appeals which the onc-bundrcd and forty or fifty thousand annual failures on our farms are making to our sense of could live under. Give it a fair chance and it will assert its intrin sic dignity, influence and impor tance. J. H. IIenders'on, Commissioner. would seem, ought to warn and dissuade and not encourage this prodigious multiplication of ex periment in the line of certain and ruiuous loss. Then again this query recurs—who feeds the world of non-producers ? This latter class I bcliove Ricardo, a very high authority, places as high as eight to one. I am not ambitious of making an argument or any great array of big statistics in ex plaining myself upon the points raised hy the correspondence re ferred to here. But, personally and officially, 1 regard my opin ions ot tbo farmer's vocation and his chances in Georgia as a bread winner, as a comfort-loving man, hia prospects in life as a usolul citizen, and his prospects of con tinuance and permanence as of some consideration in view of my relations to tbo whole subject. As Commissioner of Agriculture I am very much interested in hav ing my own fellow-citizens in Geor gia to believe that I am not only earnestly at work, but hopefully laboring to advance the character and results of our agriculture. I would dislike to have the people of Georgia suspect that I thought the annual productioa of Georgia farom —running all the way trom about sixty-seveo millions, five years ago, to the large increase over that fig ure in last year’s showing—was after all a delusion and a woslul j miscarriage of toiling and earnc9t- 11 COST. - “inded men, who were serving the ’ ’ rest of mankind at their own cost - and without even a grateful uo- ' knowledgcment from those who our ■“ r ' | reaped the fruits of it. I can easily tvistc«,y.n>i state m y p 0a ition. This true pre- - Mentation of what I really believe and feel, may give as much offence ' as the words attributed to me in - the quoted articles at the opening of these remarks. But I am free to ire m [ say that I believe farming properly ->t io i pursued, is the happiest of all lives : or employments. Faithfully and lrl * 1 ' intelligently pursued, I am con- ms,.: vinced it la the i-esl assured and ! most certain of fair and satisfac tory results in all the long cata logue of human pursuits. The man, in |my opinion, who could elect the life of the farmer with a fair outfit and did not chooBe it, mode a mistake. But Tbo reputed father of the Re publican party has confessed at last. His name is Joseph Warren, and he is a clerk in the pension office at Washington. He says: “I claim to be the originator of tho Republican party myself. [ was the owner and publisher of the Detroit Tribune at the time, and on July 9, 1854, one month and day before tho so-called founding ot tbo party at Stone, Me., I called a republican convention at Jack- son, Micb. It was after the repeal of the Missouri compromise. I not only called the convention to com- hlno the old Whig and tho Free Soil parties, but I named the com bination the Republican party. Zacb Chandler and other Repub licans in Michigan opposed this idea of the combination, bnt it suc ceeded. No, sir, the oredit of founding tho Republican party be longs to Miohigan, and not to Maine or Massaohnsetts, which al so claim It. Henry Wilson, in bis ‘Rise and Fall of the Slave Power,” gives Michigan tho credit, os well as myself tbo oredit of calling tbo convention. So does Judge jour- geo in ‘The Fool’s Errand.’” What a pity Mr. Warren has boen so retiring I Ho ought to have como into the last Republican National Convention as a candi date for the Presidency. What would be more appropriate than for the originator of the party to lay it away to rest next November? Tho region affected by the earth quake appears to have been bound ed by southern Maine on the north and by central Virginia on the South. The shook was felt in near ly every part of a belt about COO miles long and 200 miles wide, al though this width is extended mid way between the ends of the belt by the reports from Titusville, Penn. Tho shock was most severe on the Now Jorsoy coast, on the Long Island coast, and in Connec ticut. It is impossible to deter mine from the telegraphic dispatch es and tho statements of observing persons thedircalionoftbo uml His tory movement or to locate the probable eentie of impulse. Ac curate records of time seem to have been mado only in Boston, Cam bridge, Shelter Islnnd, Now Haven, and New York city. Those rcoords vary only 75 seconds, and tboy in dicate—it they indicate any thing— that tho movement traveled from Now York city in a northeasterly direction. As a rult>, tho time re corded at places south or South west ot New York oity was later. Tho disturbance'seems to have fol lowed the coast line, although it is not plain that it was propogated from cither end of tho belt defined above.

Yesterday about 4:80 o’eioek p. m. a lad named G. O. Roberts, about 14 years old, while attempt ing to throw a “curve” ball on Bol ton street, near Montgomery, fract ured his right arm between the elbow and shoulder. Dr. Harris was called and attributed tho aooi- dont to tho fact that Roberts, in attempting to give the ball the curved line, brought into play the two musclcB of the arm at the same instant, when, the bone of the arm being remarkably brittle for a boy of Robert’s ago, it was fractured.
