We five under obligations to Dr. W .
M. Dykes, of Macon county, for a stalk
of cotton taken from one of bis field*,
which in our opinion reflects much
credit on him as an enterprising anti
progressive planter. A\ e chanced to
moot the Doctor on the cars in compa
ny with his neighbors, rn route for the
Romo Agricultural Convention, while
the'suhjoct of improved < oitonwa* being
discussed* The gentlemen above re
ferred to remarked that Dr. Dykes
had tho host cotton they had ever soon,
that lie had been for a number of
years buying all tho improved seed lie
could hear of, testing their virtues,
holding to those he found to bo wor
thy and discarding tho other. The
Doctor lias by proper culture and man
agement caused those improved cot
tons to bo mixed or crossed, and he
n m lias a cotton that he, or rather
his neighbors, challenges the world to
bent.
The stalk sent us was planted after
the 20th of May, was much damaged
by grass and unfavorable seasons,
shone 1 signs of damage by tho boll
worm, still one could cover with his
baud sixteou forms, blooms and bolls.
This cotton is noted for its proximity
of limbs —often two at the same joint
—tho largo number of joints on the
limbs, with two bolls and forms at ev
ery joint and also bolls between joints,
size of boll, thrift, and adaptedneos to
medium pine land, growing two weeks
longer in severe droughts than com
mon cotton, and producing a superior
lint.
Wo arc assmed by tho neighbors
and hiends of Dr. Dykes that it would
well repay any planter to visit bis
fann, and we are authorized to stale
that the Doctor will have his horse
and buggy at Montezuma to meet and
convey to his house 0113* who may wish
to visit him, if three days’ notice be
givon. Such a man in any neighbor
hood would work wonders in the sci
ence of agriculture. Come to our fair,
Doctor, and carry oif some of tho pre
miums offered.
'flic Slulc Itoiiil Corruption.
As time advances what was once
recognized as an almost impregnable
mystery, is beginning slowly but sure
ly to be dir solved, the mist is clearing
away, and if a power creating party
dres not interfere with plans that are
being instituted by the Attorney Gen
eral they will filially culminate in an
exposure of tho entire fraud. Con
trary to tho wishes of tho former Su_
periutendont the Books of tho Road
have been turned over to a committee
of citizens with a promise of compe
tent Book-keepers to ai l thorn in see
ing the exact state of affairs as shown
by the Books. The arrest of those
suspicioned is not confined to Atlanta,
hut a prominent merchant from Sa
vannah lias been ordered to give an
account of his actions in the premises.
What the future may disclose remains
to bo seen. Gov. Bullock has just re
turned from New York, and tho At
lanta San has the following in regard
to his return in connection with tho
investigation. Wo trust that this in
vestigation will not only explain the
cause of the road not paying a divi
dend undor theSuporintandency of Mr.
Blodgett, as it now doe?, in the hands of
Lessees, but also why it is that so
cany subordinate officers of the road
are charged with and found guilty of
crime, when the Superintendent
pleads not only iunoconco hut ignor
ance as to what was going on.
The Governor returned to tho city
yesterday morning after an absence of
a month or more.
Ho has returned at a critical junct
ure, and rarious are the conjectures as
to what will bo his course in regard to
the investigation now going on, and
the agreement entered into concerning
tho custody ot tho Rail Road Books
and papers.
Some predict that he will at once or
der thorn back into tho possession of
Blodgett; and allege that they contain
evidence of the Governor’s complicity
with, or connivance at, the frauds and
robberies alleged, and will take some
steps to prevent them from being scru
tinized ; and that ho will repudiate the
agreement of Colonel Farrow, and
take the books and papers out of the
hands of Messrs. Hammock, Redwino
and Rawson.
Others allege that 6uch a step would
amount to the best of evidence that ho
is guilty ; would give ground for pub
lic suspicion, and that he has more
good common seuso than thus to ex
pose himself in this way.
Other guesses are made and fancies
which are too numerous to allude to.
As His Excelleny did not send for and
communicate to us his views—therefore
we refrain from publishing them.
Two boats of South Carolina loilists
of the African persuasion crossed the

Letters and telegrams are received
almost daily saying “lake all you can
get,” or “don’t touch it.” Iu our opin
ion speculation is at tho bottom of all
these, tho money is good, or it is
worthless atul our advice to thoso who
have any on hand, is to hold it, or get
value received for it, oue hundred cents
in tho dollar.
Our position in this and a'l such
money is know n, still it it is put in
circulation wo warn tho holders there
of not to listen to reports pro nnd
eon, but to send it to Atlanta and
draw greenbacks, or do as above sug
gested.

IX ESS STATES.
The superficial area of the Amcricus
Distiict must have a centre, exact or
proximate it may bo. The District
has a given breadth, a certain length.
There may ho a center of superficial
area and a center of population. These
may or may not be identical. It nnglit
be more just to consider tho claims oi
tho latter, were it practicable. Per
hapi it is more expedient to base our
argument on tho claims of the former.
Let a map of the District Lo drawn.
Let each one of the three or four com
petitois for tho school be marked as
points on the diagram supposed. —
Which place w ill approximate nearest
to the center of tho given area ? Daw
son unquestionably. 1 know of no
facts or data or statistics of counties
that will force us to conclude that tho
centre of population is remote from
the center of area. The presumption
is they are approximately near. Let
not tho school be located on either ex
tremity. Let it not be hid in any cor
ner. This would savor of somo influ
ence—dominations —that is selfish.—
Establish it in tho center, as the heart
is in the center of the body, as tho sun
is in the center ot tho solar system. —-
Then no point, nor place, nor section
need feel that its intrinsic claims have
been depreciated.
ACCT.9MIIII.ITY.
llow stands the caso between the
contending parties on this score? —
What are the existing media of acces
sibility and inter-conimunicntion ?
They are tho railroads. Each of tho
three points aro equal in respect to tho
facilities of tho S. W. R. R. Cuth
belt is nearer to the terminus of the
Ft. Gains branch. Dawson is nearer
to the termini both of tlio Columbus
and Albany branches. Is Atneiicus
nearer to the Columbus branch ?
Yes. Dawson is neater to the lermi
minus of the Ft. Gains branc h. Neith
er of those points can claim preference.
Thus, in the comparison in respect of
accessibility, Dawson is equally acces
sible with either of the other points.
But Cutlibert has in construction a
railroad from Bainbridge to Columbus.
Americas bus in prospect a railroad
from llawkinsviile to Eufanla. When
these roads are completed, the access
ibility of either of tho other points will
be greater than that of Dawson. But
let il bo assumed hero that every rail
road commenced is not a road com
pleted Our entiro country affords
numerous examples of this defalcation.
Every railroad completed is not a .suc
cess iti perpetuity. A railroad does
not always create a demand for trans
portation. The construction of a rail
road on public credit, on tho credit of
a future generation is not necessarily
consentaneous with tho increased pro
duction of commodities, requiring iu
creused facilities of transportation.—
Dawson likewise has her roads in pros
pect, has her future plans and policy
in this behalf equally with Cutlibert
or Americas. Dawson is not too near
to Eufaula to experience, threatning
ly and ruinously, competition in busi
ness from so formidable a competitor.
She has not llio humiliation of being
fearfully in the struggle for existence
in warm and constant antagonism with
so dangerous a rival. She is equally
removed on the other side from ruin
ous competition with Macon and Al
bany.
I'ItKSLNT BUSINESS STATUS AND FBOSI'iCTS.
OF DAWSON.
The school should not ho located in
a community whose existence or avlioso
prosperity is threatened. This school
aspires to be a fact and a success in
perpetuity. Let it in its location be
reared amid elements of vitality, not
of dissolution. Let it draw its first
breath and develop its energies and
faculties for good amidst associations
of prosperity, enterprise and social ac
tivity.
Dawson shows no signs of failure.
First —in respect of population. It
is more numerous than it has ever
been. It is increasing. Numerous
families are making arrangements to
move to Dawson next winter. All
our private houses are occupied.—
Rents are high There is and will be
demand for more private residences
than we afford.
We experienced a very destructive
conflagration last winter. Did this
crush our energy and enterprise ? At
once, real estate advanced. Vacant
lots were sold at a largo advance.—
New, elegant, tasteful brick storo
rooms liavo almost covered tho spaces
mudo vacant by the conflagration. —
Perhaps by January tho appearauco
and tastefuluoss of Dawson will bo
vastly improved and enhanced.
111 respect of mercantile importance,
Dawson lias nothing to conceal. She
is w illing for her condition and pros
pects to be known. If necessary, wo
can present a statistical table, a faith
ful exhibit of Dawson’s mercantile im
portance and stilt.is. The gross
amount of cotton biought to Dawson
for tho year ending August 1, 1871,
was 13,000 bales, nearly all of which
was bold in Dawson. Thero is, no
prospect of our gross sales falling off.
Our merchants have novel* been more
sanguino and confident. They fool
confident of retaining old customers.
They liavo assurances of increasing
their p. t onago to a larger area and to
a higher figure than in former years.
Capital is rapidly increasing in the
business circles of onr town. Tin's will
multiply her advantages in competi
tion. Her facilities as a cotton mar
ket aro surely and hugely increased
Here we have three first rate Ware
houses. Tho proprietors thereof aro
warmly contesting half-way ground
between Dawson and Cutlibert, Daw
sou and Amcricus Dawson and Alba
ny. Dawson will certainly liavo her
share of tiie commodity in every di
rection* With such internal resources,
with such a business patronage, with
sin li active and powerful combinations,
with facilities increasing rapidly and
resources multiplying so numerously,
Dawson bocoiuos a point formidable to
hor neighbors. Her statistics do not
show a community disintegrating, dis
solving, depopulating, but a commu
nity growing, progressing, enriching.

Tax-Payehs Convention.-—' The pre
sent and prospective financial condition
of Georgia, is well calculated to excite
anxiety and alarm. How far the
State is already involved iu.debt no
one can tell. To meet the wasteful,
iniquitous and criminal expenditures
of the present Radical administration,
the people will be heavily taxed. With
short crops and crippled industries
they aro ill prepared to meet those
onerous exactions. What is tho rem
edy ? Wo liavo already suggested a
Convention of the tax-payers —without
regard to race or color, or party*—to
consider calmly tho real financial con
dition and material interest yf tho
State; present it to the Legislature,
and demamlare.'orm. It will have good
clicct on that body, for the members
will not dare to disregard the voice of
tho people they represent. We have
also suggested that this Convention
meet in Macon in October next, dur
ing the State Fair. Let every county
bo represented. Delegates to the
Stato Agricultural Convention might
represent both interests, which indeed
are one inseparable. Will onr cotem
poraries urgo tho people to move in
this matter ? It may check the extrav
agant expenditures of tlie Government,
save the State from bankruptcy, and
tlie people from intolerable burdens.

Escape of Vallawdigham’s Client.
—Dayton (Ohio) Journal of the 3d in
stant, states that the fire-bells rang an
alarm in that city the preceding mid
. night, and it was found that seven pri
soners had dug their way out of the
1 county jail, among others McGehan,
in whose defense Vallandigham lost
his life recently. They effected their
escape by tearing up a portion of tho
stone floor of one of tho cells in tho
southeast corner of the prison, excava
ting a tunnel into tho cellar under tho
sheriff’s residence.

Charleston, Aug. 20.—Tho Medi
cal Society of Charleston, in view of
the prevalence of yellow fever here,
held a meeting last evening, and after
full investigation and discussion re
solved to make official publication of
the real facts of tho case as follows :
That the yellow lover of a mild typo
doos exist to a limited extent in Char
leston ; that it is mainly confined to
ouo neighborhood ; that tho first caso
dated from July 27th, and tho diseaso
lias prevailed during tho month that
lias elapsed. Since then there have
been, perhaps, in all, up to this time,
thirty-five cases, nino of which have
proved fatal, but that the disease
duos not seem of a character disposed
to spread rapidly or widely. It is ad
ded, that difference of opinion exist in
the profession as to the spread of
tho disease. Tho,Board of Health an
nounced this morning that tho num
ber of cases reported since tho 23d in
stant indicate that the disease is as
suming an epidemic form.
Later advices show a decrease in the
ravages of this disease, and local cause
introduced it.
The Great Stoiim. —The late storm,

violence along the entire Southern At

brief notice of its effects at Savannah.
At Jacksonville, Fla., tho disasters
were equally as extensive. A great
part of tlie town was flooded. Shade
trees innumerable and several valuable
buildings were prostrated, and others
were unroofed. The steamers left
their wharves to avoid destruction. —
The town was cut off from the outside
world by every avenue. Tho damage
to buildings, goods and shipping was
believed to lie very great.
The storm reached Charleston Fri
day afternoon from the southeast, and
during the day it changed to tlie north
east and began to blow and rain with
great violence. Tho gale, with slight
variations, remained at that point un
til midnight on Saturday, Business
was stopped, stroots and cellars wore
flooded, and several of tho streets were
washed into gullies. Trees were blown
down or snapped off. Forewarned by
tho weather reports in tho city papers,

NSW ARRANGEMENT
* - FOR
FMLL, 187 1.
Having disposed of all but a remnant of our Groceries, we thick proper to
announce 'hut we shall not replenish that branch of our busin as, as wo liavo
determ ned to abandon it altogether. This change docs not contemplate any
reduction of our business, lut is found necessary to encourage rather than
check the rapid growth of our bus ness in other departments. In future wa
shall devote our6elvec exclusively to
PRY GOODS, BOOTS AND SHOES, CLOTHING,
HATS, FURNISHING GOODS, AND NOTIONS.
In our Detail Department, we sha’l offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale,
we shall offer at all seasons the best stock in all the enumerated branches to be
found in this State, or South of New York. We invite the attention of Mer
chants to an examination of our stock of
Domestic and Goodes,
\\ hint were bought before the late advance, and in which we can oS.’r great
inducements We deal heaylly in all
GEORGIA MADE GOODS;
And have made special arrangements with leading Factories whereby we shall
never require more than the Factory price. Wo make a special business of
CALICOES.
And shall keep at all times a stock from which nnys’zo order can be filled.
As we seldom fail to make g'md impressions on merchants who know tjieir
business, we hope to receive calls from many this season who have hitherto
failed to do so, as onr stock will be unusually attrac ive, and our promptness
in buying certain goods before the advance enables ns to offer some good bar
gains Respectfully, . J. B. ROSS &S. T. COLEMAN,
