Tlio loss of about ono-fourth tho la
bor formerly expended in cotton cul
ture, by the withdrawal of women and
children from field labor.
The biro of hands for part of tho
crop, and tho failuro to begin work by
the first of January, resulting in tho
loss of about two month’s labor on tho
average.
The necessity of supplying food and
forago for hands and stock, during
time when both aro idlo, supplying
the hands with luxuries and supplies,
for which quarterly payments have to
be paid to merchant®, or casti, or a
very high iuterost to brokers and ban
kers for money advanced, while tho
planters only income is derived from
saio of lint cotton, and is received but
once in twelve mouths.
The necessity of picking cotton with
all tho hands, in order, to save, gin
and pack it, so as to meet notes falling
due, and thereby leaving stock idle
for months, during which time each
head will average from 30 to 40 cents
per day by consumption of food alone—
and no tirno taken to sow wheat, oats,
or other small grain.
The impossibility of procuring ex
tra labor to pick cotton, and a minim
um cost for such as may be found, of
50 cts. per 100 lbs. (assuming a gener
al average )
Tho neglect of fonces and enterior
enclosures, without which, under ex
isting laws, no stock, cattle, sheep,
swine or other live stock can be suc
cessfully or economically raised ; and
the difficulty of hiring hands to spilt
rails when needed, at a cost of 75 cts.
per 100 rails, when a No. 1 hand can
spilt in one day from 400 to 500 rails.
Tho loss of time by hands and stock
in wet weather, owing to lack of labor
saving machines or steam-power.
Tho purchase of necessaries, such as
bacon, boef, corn, hay, etc., etc., which
are considered the legitimate staple
productions of farmers in other coun
tries.
The singular fact that thero where
grass is most abundant, and pastures
are whole prairies, as in Texas, goad
butter is scarce and high ; while in
Georgia and other States, where whole
counties seem destined by nature for
sheep husbandry, not a sheep and
scarce a goat can be found.
Tho fact that, although an acre in
clover, with ail annual expenditure,
after necessary implements aro obtain
ed, of one dollar per ton, makes a net
profit as groat on the average as an
aero in cotton, with not a tithe of tho
labor or time expended, and yet it is
probable that thero are not 3000 arces
in Georgia devoted to clover or the
grasses.
Vineyards occupy still loss atten
tion.
Fruit, us an oxciusivo businoss, has
scarcely germinated.
Immense quantities of New York
and Northern or Western butter is
sold in Georgia. Georgia fruit ought
at least to cancel in New York the
sale of New York butter in Georgia.
In the fertile West, where Indian
corn often produces an average yield
of 50 bushels per acre, tanners cannot
afford to "pull fodder,” yet it is a cus
tom almost universal in Georgia.—
Stock are often idle at this period also.
Labor is worth in Georgia probably
socts. per day and rations In this
case the cheapest way to pull fodder is
to give one-half for the other securely
housed. This was formorly consid
ered in the North, we think, the cost
of securing hay by hand. The “mow
er” has changed all that—one hand
can with a mower'cut from ten to fif
teen acres per day.
_ Every a cro of good hay ought to
yield 1300 lba. at each cutting.—
Shucks when properly cured and cut up,
are as valuable as fodder—do not cost
hall as much—yet very few Georgia
planters uso shucks economically, and
generally ono-third of tho value is
lost by fulling on the ground.
The cultivation of corn as a fodder
crop is scarcely known, and tho pro
cess of saving by means of “stocks”
is as foreign to our practice. Proba
bly not a Georgia planter grinds his
corn and cob together into meal for
food for cattle, swine or live stock.
The small grains, (save cats,J clovfcr,
the grasses, root crops, for the cultiva
tion of which God gave us tho four
seasons, are crowded out by tho cult
ure of cotton.
Wages being paid at the close of
the year, because cotton sales form the
only means of payment, all hand rush
to got cotton to market, and “have no
tune' 1 to sow small grains, turn under
green crops, or pursue a rational sys
tem of husbandry according to its nat
ural laws.
Negroes being ignorant, suspicious,
neglectful, as all hirelings as a rule
are, cannot understand ‘-interest” as
applied to dollars and cents, become
dissatisfied and unreasonable. The
economy of tiniG is an enigma to them ;
and they refuse that an hour lost is a
theft committed. If a “hand” loses
one-half huur each day in a year, he
will lose 150 hours or nearly half a
month a labor. An hour lost every
day then is a month lost in the year.
Probably not a planter or farmer in
Georgia charges for all time lost. Yet
factories, railroads, mills—nearly all
regular industries in Georgia— charge
one quarter of a day, if a hand loses
15 minutes. Scarcely any industry
could long maintain itaolf, if this one
item, lost time, was practically ignored,
as cotton planters as a rulo "do ignore
it. Charge a hand with an hour’s
work, with wages rated at CO cents
per day, and inform him that ho can
go to work an hour later each morn
ing with a loss of only 5 cents, and ;
few would rise with tho sun even,
when, by that time, if cotton is tho
crop cultivated, they should bo at work. <
If ho loses 15 miuutes, charge him 15
cts (aboTO wages being granted); or
if ho persist 1 *, dismiss him, and we
will soon find that above price is cheap
enough. That this is practicable the
writer has demonstrated, although ho
does not know another agricultuuist
who practices it. In order to make it
generally practicable, it must be gen
erally practiced. All tho laborcres in
the country havo to work or starve,
and tho only reason why farmers can't
got hands as readily as manufactories,
foundrios, mills, railroads, etc., etc., is
owing to high wages pai l and fre
quent pay ments to hands hired by the
day. The only way by which they
can afford to givo such wages, is by
establishing a fchodulo of pro-rata
charges for all time lost. The balance
sheet can then bo adjusted. It is
singular that Dr. Pendleton and other
calculators for tho Cultivator should
have omitted -this vast item among
tho “expenses” of cotton planting.
Another item should bo considered,
viz : fuel, and cost of hauling aud pro
viding the same. What other indus
try omits this great chargo ? They
also omit “repairs of fences”—a great
er annual tax than that imposed by
the Government.
Tho system of paying “money wages ’’
would alone enabloono to keep a proper
Dr. & Cr. account. The neglect of im
posing proper charges for all lost time,
forced us to offer a sliaro in tho crop.
We will consider, for example, the
cost of time lost by eight mules aud
sixteen hands in one year, on a plan
tation cultivating only 274 acres in
corn, cotton and oats. (See Dr. I’en
dleton’sestimate in Cultivaotr for July):
Days lost by stock, (Sundays) 52 days.
“ “ “ “ rain and bad
weather, 53 “
105 “
Lost by hands rain aud bad
weather, 35 “
To 8 mules, 105 days, at 36.-
75 $294 00
To 16 hands, 35 days, at 60
cts. pvr hand, 336 00
Total value of lost time, if
no other crops or repairs
are made $620 00
Any system which subjects cupital
to the caprices of labor is ia its root
vicious. A. T. Steward, of New
York, could never havo succeeded in
managing a business so colossal, bad
ho not originated a system which has
affected merchandise all over America.
Cannot cotton planting bo made as re
liable an investment as cotton manu
facture.
The agriculturist as well as tho man
ufacturer in tho South, has the advan
tages of climate—working all winter
—fuel and wuter in abundance, which
the Y r aukoo has not; but all of these
combined will not equal tho system
aud discipline of labor in a Northern
factory. When they invest a dollor, it
t is like converting so many bushels of
wheat into Hour—they can calculate
the interest. Steam is the application
of precision -
Now all tho labor counted as lost in
tho above exhibit, may bo easily and
profitably employed, without interrupt,
lug the usual operations of the plan
tation.

Whereas, At the July Term. A D 1871,
of the /Superior Court, held in and for the
County of Washington, one Janies Oxford
was tried for, and convicted, of the crime of
murder, and sentenced, by the Judge presid
ing at said Court, to be executed, by hanging
by the neck uutil dead, on Friday, the Ist day
of September proximo, aud was, by order of
said Court, cotumi ted to the jail of the Coun
ty of Baldwin, for safe keeping, to await the
fulfillment ol his said sentence; and,
Whereas, It has been officially reported
to this department, that on the nigl.t of the
22nd of July, 1871, in the city of Mi'lcdge
villc, County of Baldwin, a band of lawless
and di-guised petsons, of about seveuty-five
in number, did by force and intimidation, ob
tain front the Sheriff of the said County of
Baldwin, the kejs of tit. jail of said county,
and did unlawfully open the same and re
lease tiicrefiom the said James Oxford, and
set him at liberty ; and,
Whereas, Upon a previous occasion, to
wit: on the night of tire 14th of October, 18
69, while the said James Oxford was confined
in the jail of the Conuty of Hancock, under
an indictment charging him with the murder
of a respectablo citizen cf said county, a
band of disguised and lawoess persons, of
about sixty iu number, did, by force and in
timidation, obtain from the sheriff of said
County of riaucock the keys of tho said jail,
and, having ovet powered the guard stationed
iheieat for the safekeeping of the prisoners
confined theiein, did unlawfully open said
jail and release therefrom the said James Ox
ford. and set him at liberty ; and,
Whereas, these repeated and flagrant vio
lations of the law, by bands of disguised per
sons, clearly establish the fact that there is a
determination upon their part to prevent the
said Orford from being brought to punish
ment for the crime of which he stands con
ju-tice; and,
Whereas, it is the da y of the, JtVcative,
and the interest of every good citizen of this
State, to see to it that the laws thereof ate
rigidly executed.
Now, therefore, in order that the majesty
of the law may be fully vindicated, and to
this end that the sentence imposed by the
Court upon the said Oxford as aforesaid may
be fully executed, I do hereby issue this my
procl; mation, offering a Reward of FIV E
THOUSAND DOLXARS for the apprehen

to the Sheriff of Fulton Connty.
And I moreover charge all officers, both
