If the farmers of Georgia are wise
they will sow a heavy_grain erop this
fall. ;
Quite a large number of elections
will take place in the various states
on the 6th day of November next.
The democrats are fairly bouvant
with hope at the prospect ofcarrying
the next presidential election.
The Lumpkin Independent has
spoken and Blount of the 6th will
~
have to go.
Two negroes were hung in this

Ex Gov. Conley, the late Atlanta
post-naster, has been indicted by the

embezzlement of funds.
M:ujor W. H. Smythe, of Atlanta,

The exposition at Louisville, Ken

Notwithstanding the report that

Atlanta is coming to the frontas
one of the best cotton markets in the
siate. Her receipts are 20,000 more
than they were at tho same time last
year. Surely, Atlanta is a wonder
ful eity.
The newspapers for the past week
have all been engaged in moralizing
upon the decission of the Supreme
Court in declaring the Civil Rights
Bill unconstitutional. The decision
is very genecrally approved, both
north and south.
The political situation in Virgin
ia just nowis quite exciting. Ma.
Lone and his re-adjuster elements are
fighting for dear life, but the pros
pect is that they will be defeated by
a close vote, a consumation most de
voutly to be wished.
Of all the representatives in con
gress from Georgia there is not one
more éflicient than the IHon. Henry

At the approaching session of con

The new road law adopted by the
legisiature at its late session seems
to ba meeting with very general fa

adopt it or hold on to the old system.
I is a question to be determined by
the grand juries of the counties.
The Bainbridgze Democrat fires in- ,
to the Savannah News for appropria

glass houses ought not to throw
stones.”
The papers, both north and south,
are filled with comments upon the
resalt of the late Ohio election.
"The repablicans have given various
theories as to the cause of their un
expeeted defeal, but aone 3o plausi
ble as the one which acconnts for it
upoa the gronnds that *they lacked
the votes.” The result was a great |
sarprise to the republicans and it has
had the effect to produce no little
consternation in their party ranks.
In the meantima the democrats are
prepaving o avail themselves of all

Quite an unusual interest is being

Olae good cow is worth a half dozen
poor ones. A gool milk cow will
eat no more than a sorry one, and,
besides, she will give as much milk
as three or four of the ordinary

then, to get rid of your common

The paramount demand of the
South, now, is a more luerative and
economical system of farming.—
Whether we shall eall it iniensive,
or by some other name, is immateri
al, if we but only succeed in getting
our farmers to grasp the situation
and become thorughly in fused with
the idea. Certain it is, the old meth
od is fast losing its hold in the es
teem and practice of our more enter
prising class of planters, and the
day is not distant, we believe, when
the revolution will be complete. All
feel the necessity of a change. It is
0o uncommon thing to hear our far
mers express dissatisfaction with
their present management,~-they, all,
realize that a better system is needed,
but the one, aud only great trouble
in the way is, a want of enterprise
and nerve to cut loose from the cld
way. Let us be plain: If a farmer
could once realize, that under the
intensive system he could produce
as much with one mule as he now
does with two or three, and thus ob
viate the expense of keeping this
extra number of mules, and at the
same time be enabled to dispense
with the extra number of hands re
quired to run these wmules, it would
take no furtier argument to convince
him that it would be to his advan.
tage to adopt the intensive plan.
Now, can a farmer do this? Is it
practicable? We answer both of
these questions with the simple mon
oayilable, yEs. The practicability of
what we allirm has been demonstra
ted in hoodreds of instances, and 1t
is within the power of every planter
in Georgia who owns land, however
poor, to increase its capacity within
the space of three years to a bale of
cotion per acre. Theu, if'it be true
that we can produce a bale of cotton
per acre, whereas it now, ordivarily,
requires three acres, is 1t not the
height of fully to longer pursue a
method which has nothing but con
tinual failore to reccommend it?
Now, the question may be properly
raised, how is this result to be at
tained? The answer is briet and sim
ple—by improved methods of prepa
ration and caltivation with a more
liberal system of fertilization. That
our farmers, as a rale, lack the nerve
and enterprise to take this advanced
step in the department of agricul
ture can not be doubted. The neces
sities of the cceasion call for a few
men in every couuty who will step to
the front and assume the leadership
in this grand work of revolutionizing
our present, antiguated system of
farming. Such a field for enterprise.
courage and distinction was never so
invitingfin all the annals of agricalture
and he who shall be foremost in
developing this new reform move
ment, shall not pass into history less
renowned and immortalized than the
great Napoleon himself. Who shall
it be? Have we the meu who have
the pluck to undertake it? We shall
see.
‘A Sad Picture.
In the life and death of William
C. Dorry, the late book-keeper of
the Macon Telegraph and Messenger,
we have presented one of the saddest
pictures ever set before the human
intellect. Here was a man whe had
more than lived out his three score
and ten years. To ail appear
ances he had been exceptionally ex
cmplary as a pioas, devoted man of
God throngh a long and eventful
life—a life that blossomed with good
deeds and manly virtues—and yet,
whaon the grave is just ready to re
lieve him of the toils and cares of a
burdensome old age, he is apprehen
ded in the act of appropriating large
sums of money belonging to his em
ployer, and kills himself to avoid the
mortification incident toits publicity.
The Telegraph and Messenger, with
a beautiful and becoming spirit of
charity, has never uttered a word in
exposure of the old man’s fault ; and
but for the Constitation, it would
have forever remained locked up as a
secret, in the hearts of those who
were prepared best to condone his
oaly sin. Bat alas, for human frail
ties! Man, in this life, is not free
from the temptations of vice though
he besurrounded by all the influen
ces of christian association ; and,
even at the last, there is danger of
falling.
We have for twelve months been
prescribing Swift’s Specific in the
treatment of diseases for which it is
recommended, and have not been dis
appointed in a single instance. We
whink, for all the diseases it is recom
mended to cure, it stands without a
peer, and that the medical profession
will sooner or later be forced to ac
knowledge it, in the treatment of
blood diseases, a sine qua non.

or Little Debts.
’ There are some people who are very
punctilions 'fi::ut the payment of
large debts, but little ones they seem
either to forget or disregard Tn
either event they are inexcusable.
The man who forgets to pay a debt
becanse it is small, is just as culpa
ble and full of blawe as he who dis
regards it. :
Men should be careful about the
little things of this life rather than
the big ones, for the latter class of
objects usually manage to take care
of themselves. “Take care of the
pennies and the dollars will take care
of themselves,” is an adage familiar
to everyone, aud 1f it be true that a
man should be careful in the collec
tion of peunies, it is equally true “hat
Le should be careful ia dis
bursing them to whom they are due.
The aggregate of human life is made
up of liltle things, each forming a
factor of the whole So with a
man’s character; it is the little
things in his life that must indicate,
as so many factors, the nature and
character of the man.
Men should do everything from
principle—do it because it is right
to deit. If it is right to pay a large
debt then it is also right to pay a
small one. The principle is owe no
may anythlng ; and to keep this prin
ciple inviolate, the minutest farthing
must be paid. Reader,is it your wish
to be strictly an honest man? Then
pay every devt, however small, to
the uttermost farthing. Owe no
man anything. TLet this be your
motto, and regard it sacredly
through life DBut this is not all
It is not only eunough that you pay
your debts, but to carry out the
spirit and the letter of the injunction
they should be paid prompily when
due. Not the!month after, nor the
week after, nor the day after, but the
very day they become due they
should be paid, however small.

my appetite began to improve, and I
gained flesh rapidly. When I had
taken twelve bottles I felt as well as
I ever did. My health and appetite
are good, and I am alle to attend to
all the business I can get.

RESULTS OF DEFEIAT.
A Blow foo the Admnidtration
The Effect on O her States.
WasmiNaron, October 16—At the
white house and in the departments
the Ohio election is producing a deep
imyression. Gen. Arthur was confi
dently looking for success. He re
lied on Obio to denote the refurn of
the tidal wave of last year,and give
him a start on the presidential track.
The disappointment is genuine,
Apprehension has been awakened
about the elections to follow. The
departments are sloomy over the re
sult. Nowhere else is the signifi
cance of an election more sagacious
ly interpreted. A variety of reasons
for the defeat are given, but one,
which for obvious reasons is not
much spoken aloud, is forced on the
minds of employes of every. grade.
It is the disapprobation felt for the
administration in the republican
ranks.
The cold blast in Ohio has come
from the rural districts, the republi
can strongholds, where bosses donot
rule, and where action is intelligent
}.'md independent. A prominent
Ohio republican in the government
explained that, whereas heretofore a
full vote was a republican victory,
this time it was a democratie victory.
“There has been a change among the
voters,™ he said. “Ii is where out
side questions are least exciting thai
wo enforead most in Ohio. It was
not the temperance question in the
citivs, but dissatisfaction with the
party and the administration in the
country districts, that has defeated
us. The returns show it. The idea
in the departments is that the state
is lost, and will go democratic at the
presidential election. The greav ef
ltoct of the Ohio defeat on New York,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts is
undeniable. But it is in Virginia
where the effect is most feared. Ma
hone’s chances were not bright be
fore, and the Ohio election was await
ed to give his cause the impulse it so
much needed. While Mahone’s alli
ance with Arthur bas been produc
tive of somo benefits to the Virginia
leader, he is realizing that Arthur
and the administration are a joal
that may carry him down.

Civit Rights. |
In onr last issue we barely an
nounced that the Supreme Court of
the United States had decided at
last that the Civil Rights Bill was
unconstitutional. No decission that
bas been reached in years, by this
auguet tribunal, has been received
with such wide spread satisfaction
as the one refered to above. That
the Civil Rights Bill was unconstitu
tional the southern people have nev
er doubted from the day of its cvact
ment by a corrupt radical cougress,
and the only wonder now is that the
Sapreme Court had never passed ad
versly upon it before. The idea
that hotels, restaraunts, theatres and
other pnblic places should be com
pellied to receive and eutertain ne
groes in all respectsas white people
was preposterous—too absurd to
think about, and, as a ruie, the ne
groes bave had too much sense 10 ex
pect such treatment. In sowe of the
northern cities, however, the negroes
appear to be considerably wrought
up over this decission, and, in some
places, they have called mass meet
ings to express their condewmnation
ofthe said Court—and its rulmg.
Bat for all this, the statute will for
cver remain a dead letter upon the
books. Inthe meantime no power
upon earth wil' ever be able to en
force the idea or intention contem
plated by the infamous bill. Civil
rights, in the sense of social equali
ty, is a step that the white people of
this country will never tolevate. Be
it said, however, to the credit of the
negroes in the south, but few of
them, if any, have ever desited or
songht to thrust themselves forward
upon the social companionship of the
whites. In the north it has been
different Numbers of cascs hive
come up from time to time where
the negro has attempted to enforce
the conditions of the Civil
Rights Bill upon Lis radical yankee
neighbor, and it was this contact
more than anything else that influene
ed the court to pass adversely upon
the bill. The evil effects which the
authors of the bill intended should
be felt at the south operated in the
main at the north. It was the ef
fect of their own wickeduess heaped
upon their own heads—their own
sins returning home to dwell. It
were well that the negroes recog
nize their relations to the whites at
ouce. Wiile they will have the full
est protectton of the law ir the en
joyment of all the rights ihey are
entitled to, this question of social
rights—soccial equality—is one that
the white people will never look up
on with the least degree of allowince
or toleration. In other words. the
negro must have no aspirations to
leave Lis his own proper sphore, the
society of Lis own color 5o long as
Lie recoguizes this truth and accepts
it as his destiny he will have no
cause of complaint, but, upon the
contrary, will be protected to the
fullest extent of his righis.
