Right.— Here is an item from the Amer
icus Republican to which we desire to call
aKention. When a majority of the planters
go and do likewise, the dawn of real iode
Jpeodence will be near at hand :
In Sumter county, Captain John A Cobb
hag 11 000 aerosol land, divider] into five
plantations—l fvOO acres in corn, 300 in oats.
2 200 will be planted in cotton. He
his in»at ia>t year, and supple
the other half with syrup, sold 5,000
PPM* °‘ c °rn and raided 1 200 I.alee ol
ofi-t'a* Bf' ftl'i ttm'j uw? >.
lion Stnnds the Case T
There enn be no disguising the fact that
the times are ominons of big events in the
future. The squabbling uomng our Con
gressmen has had a had effect at home : and
the action of Mr. Hill in the Simmons mat
ter—to say nothing of Mr Stephens—ha*
only aggravated the case, which was had
enough before. It was unfortunate that any
divisions should have occurred among our
representatives in Congress, particularly just
now, os it will play right into the hand* of
the opposition. Affiirs being In a muddled
condition at Washington made matter* here
look anything bat bright or cheerful. Nor
w*» the »itaation rendered any easier by the
fact that the scattered remnants of Radical
ism, with their willing allies, some time back
began to rally and pot themselves on a war
fooling.
Now, our faith is strong that the Demo
cratic party will maintain its supremacy in
the coming elections, both State and Fed
eral ; that the masses are almost, if net quite
as strong now as they were four years ago :
and yet there are signs which foretell a most
vigoroas fight on the port of the opposition.
They are planning, scheming, intrigning—
tireless and vigilant. Wofford, it is believed,
will be their candidate for Governor; Felton
will rnn again for Congress ; Speer, having
tasted the “sugar," will “stand” once more,
of course ; and Stephens will order his own
election. An effort will be made to run
Candidates in other Districts, also—our own
among the number—all of which will ennse
trouble, unless the Democrat* keep a sharp
lookout.
Thi*. then, is precisely how the case stands
at present Under these circumstances, what
i* best to be done T It is not our purpose
to map out any plan of action further than
to urge every true Democrat—every faithful
friend of Georgia, to be firm in his duty—
and when the time comes, to vote for that
man who will most truly maintain the honor
arid int-grity of the State and the party.
The elections this year will tell with fenr
fnl potency upon our destiny ns n people.
Happy we shall be if we come out of them
with flying colors; and we believe the Dem
ocracy will triumph. But there is a bare
possibility of failure. Aided and encouraged
by prominent officials st Washington, the
opposition intend to put on the war-paint
and go in for a bold, aggressive struggle
A slight notice of the many signs of prepar
ation is all that iR necessary to convince one
of thi* fact. Indeed, it is a life and death
matter—a ground hog case—with the R'-
pnblican leaders If victorions, they will
feast for years on the loaves and fishes, and
fare sumptuously every day. On the other
hand, if they are defeated, it is annihilation
—absolute destruction.
Nor is it a less important matter with the
Democrats. To them dufeat means degra
dation, deep and lasting. It means going
hack to the condition of affiirs In the time
when Radicalism held fnll sway, and corrup
tion and robbery wore rife in the land. It
mean* ad that iB corrupt and dishonest—an
utter abasement of those principles which
every true patriot holds dear Victory means
peace, prosperity and good government. It
means that onr people know how to work
out the order af things according to the les
sons taught by the founders of the Govern
ment, and intend so to do.
Lpl each and every gooil Democrat, there
fore, resolve to do his whole duty in the
premises, and there need be no fear but that
the old ship of State will continue on her
voyage pi osperously.
Noii.t Said.—We hondr the man who
ean write like this. Grady never gnve a
nobler exhibition of his loving nature. It
is rarely such words are written of one who
has gone astray:
“I hnve juat heard of the trouble of Ram
Hoyle, and c-n truthfnlly say that I have
heard of nothing in vears that ha« given
me so mnch pa n. I know nothing of the
circumstances, but I do know that Sam
Hoyle is a better man than the most of
tho«e who will he hardest on him. I hnve
known him since he came to Athens a rag
ged, ex-rebel, lame and poor, seeking an
education under the sol liers' bill, and I
never knew n man of more splendid courage
or of better heart, of more generous impulse
or of tenderer nature. At college he was
the friend of the weak, against the strong
—ready to divide his last crumb witli a
stranger, and devoted to his friends. In
after life I found him all this, at d his wreck
has come more through mistaken kindness
or indulgence, than through any grievous
fault. It is a sod travesty that the wound
he received when gallantly climbing the
enemy's guns st Franklin, ahead of hi 9 reg
iment, should now prove the tell-tale that
delivered hm to the detectives. It is said
that it is easy to praise those in prosperity
but bard to speak kindly of those who are
down. Ido not find it so here. I would
tbeo rather find it hard and inhuman to
refrain from saying these words in behalf
of my old triend—of my friend of to-day.
for whatever may come of tbi# miserable
business, the time will never come when 1
will not love Ram Hoyle, and be proud to
call him my IrMod.’ 1
We do not know Mr. Hoyle; but he
mny be more‘•sinned against than stoning,"
and whatever may be bis fate, the abnvs
will cause us to look charitably upoo bis
faults.

Rcst —A writer in the J< Hereon Setts
gives his ideas in regard to rust as follows :
••The impression p evails generally that
the oe.t crop has rust. I have exuniued
bottom leaves have hid a yellow ti ge re
sembling rust, (which has n n »rly disappear
eit) but it is »ot rn«t. We mtiv therefore
expect a fine oat crop from Ibe ru*t proof va
riety sown through tne fait months— Sep
tember an I October. Such, however is not
the ease with wheat. That has rust "beyond
all doubt.’’
GRNKRAf. Grant didn’t teem to be very
much appreciated in Houston, Tex.. this
week. A‘ the reception last Monday night
the gas was turned off. and candles hail to be
used. 'Or Sunday night the gnus of the ar
tillery company, which wpre intended to he
need to fire a snlnte on Gran'’* arrival, were
spiked. All of which mu't have had a damp
ening; effect on the ovation. We want to
live in that town.
Stii.i, at It. — And now the Independent
press is down on Gen Gordon becnose he
leaves the S- n«te on a brief visit to Georgia.
Very well. We suppose the Central will
survive these puny assaults, lor they come
from sources that ore not very dangerous
Oth'r Senators can get leave of absence nnd
nothing be said of it, but when the General
absents himself there i* a general growl all
along the line.
Rkfubmcan Contrmpt.—At the conclu
sion of Felton’s recent speech on the funding
bill, Mr Frye, a prominent Repoblicnn,
“shot” the member Irotn Georgiu in a vital
part, ns follows :
••I congratulate the gentleman from Geor
gia that he i* almost, thongh not nhogedier
a hard money mart. I congratulate him, too,
that he is nlm‘>*i persuaded to he a Repub

A Boom Wanted. —The editor of the
Farm and Home, of Sennit, has been send
ing postals around notifying parties that
there was bound to be n serub race in Geor
gia for Governor next fall, and th I it was
the dc«ire n( many people to bring out Hon.
David K. Butler, though the writer prefer
ed that ao-ne paper in this section of the
State should bring him out.
Hon. David E. Butler ia a very clever
gentleman and would doubtless make just as
good a Governor ns many others whose
names hnve been mentioned in connection
with that office, but we cannot see any rea
son for a scrub race, and if we thought such
a thing was obliged to be, we are not sure
that fina. David K But'er would bs the
man of our choice We ean see no possible
reason why any man who wants the Demo
cratic patty to cot ml the affairs of this
S'ate should convince him*'lf in advance of
a nomination that there is certain to be
a scrub race. If a man notoriously unfit for
the place should be nominated, then there
might be some excuse lor this kind of inde
pendent talk. We can’t boost Ibis Butler
boom.— 1 homasviilt Enterprise.

and Louis M Hohgood. *
The committee ap ointed to visit the poor
farm report that I beg fi d eight inmates at

AH seem to be well sati-fied, and pleased
with the Superintendent, Mr. Sm th. The
premises have undergone thorough repair
The stock of the farm are looking well and
in good condition. There are plenty of snp
plies, except meat, for the farm the present
year. The Superintendent seems to have
his work well in hand, and is going ahead
with hearty good will. This committee is
impressed that the right man is in the right
place.
We recommend that the following named
persona he plnced on th* pauper list, to wit :
Vlary Fernanda, Jsaiab Milam, Mary Lyons,
Mr*. Gray den and Susan Walker. We
recommend that tlie three last named receive
$25 ftaeh. to be placed in tbe hands of some
proper person, selected by County B >ard of
Commissioners, to be n*ed for their benefit
—they to remain at home, after complying
with the requirements of said Board.
Upon examination we find the Coort
house in need of some repairs—there being
three locks off the doors op stairs, seve-al
window blinds down, and several bid leaks
in tbe roof, which have caused tbe plastering
overhead to give way.
We recommend that the Sheriff’s room be
furnished with desk and table.
We find some leaks in the roof of the jiil
building ; also, a hole over the cells, which
shou'd la* repaired. W,: recommend that a
feed hole be cut through the doors of the
cells.
We find tht\ dockets of Justices ami No
taries Public corrrctiy kept, with two ex

We recommend that the following named
persons be unpointed Notaries Public for

James K Sperlm, 538 h District.

Charles P Daniel, 1293.1 District.
We find the public road- of tbe county,
with some exceptions, in usual condition, bat
they do not come up to the requirements of
the law ; and we therefore recommend that
the County Commissioners do classify all
roads in said county, de-ignating which are
first and second class roads, and that they
do tarnish to each district commissioner a
list ot tha roads so classified—also, a copy ol
tbe road laws, as the public roads of our
county rtfl ct no credit upoo our good citi- .
x-its. We rtcomtn nd the building ol a
