THE MEUHO ASill THE flOL'TH~
A gentleman who has just re
turned from an extentcd trp over
the Nprth, says the Southern peo
ple do not know how to perfectly
appreciate the negro as a farm la
borer and a domestic; that after be
saw the trouble and strife in the
North and West, and the uncer
tainly that surrounded every busi
ness, he felt that he had reached
au Kden of peace and quiet on land
ing in Georgia. While Cuffee has
his fallings, he is the best and cheap
est labor the South can get, and
even were it possible to rid the
country of this race, it would be a
sad mistake on the part of the
whites to do bo. The trouble with
our larmers is not so much the fault
of the negro, ns the fact that is it
bard for them to get out of their
old ante-bellum ruts, when labor
was counted as nothing and no
effort waB made at improving the
fields. Our farmers, instead of
working five acres to grow one
bale of cotton, should so prepare
the land as to make two bales on
one acre, and the same increase in
the other crops. It is just as easy
to work an acre of laud that will
produce 1,000 pounds of lint cot
ton, as an acre that can grow 100
pounds. The negro ts an imitator
of the white man, and when he sees
former masters or land lords scratch
ingovera vast sn face of ground
that can unly produce stunted
crops, it is natural that Cuffee will
go and do likewise, only a little
more so. To improve the negro
the white farmer must first improve
himself Kxample with this race
is everything Intensive farming
can be the only salvation of our
agriculturalists. Sell off your sur
plus lands and pay your debts, and
then what you do cultivate let it be
thoroughly done. Vou can hire
two negroes for less than one im
ported white laborer will cost you
and you can find plenty of darkies,
too, who will do as mucb work as
any one. By reducing the area
cultivated, our planters can let the
black drones and idlers go, and
hunger will soon force them to
terms. By intensive farming, your
wages of hands can be raised, and
whenever you Increase the pay of
any class of laborers you tienefit all
around them. So long as our far
mers persist'in “butchering” their
fields they will grow poorer and
poorer, and the negro more thrift
less.—Athens Banner.
Representative James, of New
York, objected to the motion to
print the prayer of the Chaplain of
the House in the Record, invoking
divine blessing upon the cause of
the workingmen in their struggle
against the capacity and despotism
of monopolies. He said the prayer
was “Incendiary.” That is a pet
phrase with fellows of his ilk, the
defenders of stock gamblers and
the bloated aristocrats who abuse
the power of money and make it a
curse instead of a blessing. It re
minds us of the cry of “treason"
which the Tories raised when
Patrick Henry uttered hit memor
able Indictment against the English
tyrant. Let Mr. Wall Street James
profit by the suggestion implied in
the patriotic Virginian’s immortal
reply to the enemiea of liberty.
