The Survival of the Fittest.

talking about “our navy,” just as if
such a thing really existed.
MAJOR IIAUNKS KNDOUSK1).
The Democracy of Columbia and
Talliferro counties have spoken
by mass meetings, and both these
counties fully endorse Major George
T. Barnes as the standard bearer
of the Democracy for the Tenth
Congressional District. Every pa
per in the district has spoke indors
ing Major Barnes, which, if it
means anything, means that the
people of the distict have made up
their minds to have Major Barnes
for their Representative in the
next Congress. When the conven
tion for Burke county meets the ac
tion of Richmond, Columbia and
Talliferro will receive another full
and free endorsement. We have
from the beginning of the canvass
supported the nomination of Major
Barnes, and we are now satisfied
that the people are with us, and
that his nomination Is a foregone
conclusion.
TilK I’HKHIIIKMTI Al, CANVASS.
The past week has developed the
usual changes in the prospects of
Presidential aspirants. Blaine now
evidently has the advantage for the
Radical nomination. The time is
short to the meeting of the Re
publican Presidential Nominating
Convention at Chicago, when the
question of who is the Radical nom
inee will be definitely settled, and
we will know whom we have to
oppose.
Who will be the Democratic can
didate is still very doubtful. The
Democratic press generally, and
the Southern papers especially,
have for months past urged the
nomination of the old ticket, but
Mr. Tilden’s health and mental
condition is still a question in con
troversy, besides it is extremely
uncertain it Mr. Tilden would ac
cept the nomination. Under these
circumstances, it is hardly likely
that the old ticket will be nomina
ted. Payne, of Ohio, and Fowler,
of New York, are among the prob
able candidates, while Randall, ot
Pennsylvania, will certainly be be
fore the convention. The Demo
cratic convention must make a
wise selection of a standard bearer
—no mistake or blunder must be
made in this matter. The great
tariff question blunder has already
almost cost the Democratic party
ignominious defeat, yet with har
monious action of the whole party
and a popular candidate the victory
is within our grasp. No dissentions
must be allowed, and we to-day
declare ourself ready to support
the candidate offered by the Demo
cratic convention, no matter who
he may be—except Ben Butler, the
Beast,
Later.—Glasscock county joins
the Barnes column.

Mr. Editor:—Had this article
gone to press earlier, perhaps it
would have appeared more appro
priate, in as much as the topic in
tended to be dwelt upon is more
applicable, because more customary
in the beginning of the year than
now in spring time of bird
song and flowers. But as errors in
the mind of humanity are eradicat
ed only by facts gradually and per
sistently presented, with time suf
ficient for contemplation and con
clusion, the writer makes no apolo
gy for being late in the season.
My object is to bring before the
land owning public some facts rela
tive to the injurious effects pro
duced by burning over their im
proved lands.
In doing this I am aware that I
battle with prejudices deep down
and heavy with age; custom with
its emplanted and time honored at
tributes coming down from sire to
son, &c. But having given the sub
ject some consideration and believ
ing it to be important to every
farmer I make no hesitancy in the
following dessertation. The custom
of burning over land in the spring
was practiced far anterior to any
pretext whatever for doing it. Its
origin in America is co-temporary
with savagery. When the Indians
inhabited the AtIUntic seaboard and
the country adjacent, they burned
over their land annually as they do
now in the West.
And when the first settlers gained
possession of the country they con
tinued it in conformity to a savage
custom, probably from a physical
or metaphysical Adam-linked pecu
liarity.
Finally as man is wont to have
un excuse for everything he does—
and certainly for what he has done
—verifying utility somehow or
somehow else, comes the following
ex post facto reasons: First, burn
ing over land facilitates and hastens
an early pasture; second, it im
proves land; third, it makes the
country healthy.
Now considering the first reason,
practical experience shows the idea
to he based upon a false principle.
There is no power in fire to hasten
vegetable growth, its “all in all” Is
destruction. If there is any virtue
at all in applying fire to rough land,
it is that it clears away old material
and makes grazing easier for cattle
and sheep, but not for hogs. And
how probable that this old grass
which has been burned is as necess
ary as the new, serving to make a
combination, a variety in the way
of nutrition and digestion adapt
able to the animal; and further it is
a known fact that stock will not
graze on a burn long when possible
to graze on unburnt territory. They
prefer the grass as nature intended
and provided it. The ashes taken
up by the cattle grazing on newly
burned ground often producing sore
tongue and other diseases as claim
ed by some is highly probable.
Second. Improving to land.—
Why and how can it ? Is it because
after burning out the undergrowth,
damaging the larger and destroy
ing the ferns and grasses that the
ashes left are more improving than
the decomposition of this vegetable
material ? Not at all. Every law
of chemical philosophy is to the
contrary. Land that is burned over
has nothing left but the ashes,
which is composed chiefly of miner
al substances to Increase its fertil
ity, whereas land that is not burn
ed over contains the nitrogenous,
hydrogenous and carbonous ele
ments combined with the mineral
property in advantage. These ele
ments are essential to vegetable
life and luxuriance; vegetation is
essential to the improvement of
land natural modus, if this which
nature has intended to putrify and
return, be destroyed by tire, how
can it either increase in value or
even maintain its futility(?) Nature
has wisely provided that all that
the earth brings forth annually
should not be destroyed even by the
animal kingdom, unadopting a cer
tain portion to their use, that some
might be left for her own benefit.
If this be sent oil' atmospherically
by fire, there must necessarily be
damage done to tin* land. The
Earth has provided sustenance for
the animal world, some for herself
but none for fire.
The third excuse for burnlngovor
land, viz.: That it renders a section
more healthy is more plausible than
either of the former reasons. But
when we consider the proper re
lationship existing between the
animal and vegetable kingdoms it
is obvious that neither can sustain
a great amount of damage without
a corresponding injury to the other.
Man, after his two thousand years
of progress, cultivation, refinement
and culture, while “Just a little
lower than the angels” is not much
above the animal physiologically
and naturally—mind and matter is
all, is man. In the category, ani
mal kingdom, comes he also with
his linked like train of posterity.
Vegetable life is necessary to ani
mal life, animal very largely to
vegetable.
Nowhere on the globe where for-
estral foliage is abundant but that
animals abound correspondingly
and vice versa.
The same natural conditions
favoring the vegetable kingdom,
favoy the animal also. The vege
table world is continually exhaling
oxygen which is absolutely neces
sary to life in the animal; the ani
mal world on the other hand is ever
giving out carbonic gas which
while destructive to animal life, is
taken up by the vegetable and util
ized as food. Infinitessimal germs
floating in our atmosphere and pro
ductive of disease are thought to
be destroyed by vegetation from the
fact that in the fall season when
vegetable growth and life are on
the decline these parasitic affections
are more prevalent and severe.—
From this view of the question,
damaging or retarding the growth
of land, while the damage done
may not be detected, because not
carried far enough every time to
impair health, cannot redound to
any sanitary virtue. Burning over
land is impolitic because it is un
natural. Wherever the laws of
nature are violated whether in the
animal or vegetable world, she has
penalties, as inevitable as they are
retributive.
Yet in the face of these facts,
year after year, fire is strewed over
this pine country of ours, with dam
age to stock, damage to land and
damage to health, to say nothing of
the private annoyances and injuries
often incurred.
Would it not be a public benefac
tion as well as a private security for
our representatives to use their in
fluence towards enacting a law
making the burning over of unim
proved lands a misdemeanor, the
violator amenable to punlshment( ?)

Hpoolul CoiTosporuleiK'O Citizen.
Rountree, Ga., May 27th.
Crops wore refreshed by a shower
of rain on yesterday evening.
Failing to make terms with j
Thompson A- Co., the leading citi
zens of Swainsboro have conferred
with Messrs. I’erkins & Donovan,
of Wadley, Ga., in regard to a rail-1
road, which Messrs. R. Ac D. have j
agreed to construct from Wadley to
Swainsboro. The surveying of the
route is finished to-day.
R. E. Lee Dixon was brought be
fore court at Swainsboro on Mon
day last, charged with larceny.—
The charge grew out of some dis
pute about a watch which Mr. Dix
on repaired for one Pleasant Lot, a
negro employed at the turpentine
works of Pughsley A Co., at this
place. I am glad to state that Lee
clearly demonstrated his innocence,
of the charge, and came out all
right. W. H. G.

Cupt. Tlionus Berrien Cox Endorsed by till* 4(1 Ht
District*
We notice with pleasure the
prompt endorsement from four cor
respondents in the G8th district of
the candidacy of Capt. Thomas Ber
rien Cox for representative in our
next General Assembly. We feel a
pleasure in adding our cheerful,
hearty approval of all the good that
has been said of this gallant soldier
and affable gentleman. His native
modesty has prevented him from
assuming an active or aggressive
position in politics. Nevertheless,
he is a man of very positive con
victions and has the courage and
intellectual ability to advance and
sustain them. In all the walks of
life “he acts well his part and there
in all the honor lies.” A braver
soldier never followed the waning
fortunes of the “Conquered Banner.”
He is an excellent farmer, a gener
ous neighbor, successful in his finan
cial methods, and a scholar of fine
intellectual training. Burke coun
ty would indeed honor herself in
honoring him. He deserves and
will receive the commendation of
the Sixty-first District.
Thu Weather and tliu Crops.
During the past two weeks we
have had a succession of glorious
showers which have had the effect to
brighten everything, and bring up
the cotton a considerable amount of
which could not come on account
of the drouth. From every section of
the county we have cheering news
from the crops. They have gene
rally been well cultivated—are as
clean as a garden—and are pro
nounced to be just as good as the
land can make them. Some of. our
farmers have begun ty lay-by their
corn, much of which is in tassel.—
Those who were fortunate enough to
get a stand of oats have harvested
fine crops. Cotton is looking well
and growing oil' finely. A farmer
who lives in the 66th district tells
us that the crops in that district are
better for the season than they have
been for several years. The corn
is waist high and more, and cotton
will average half leg liigli. The
farmers there have increased their
corn crop about one-fourth more
than usual, and are increasing their
stocks of hogs. With this policy
firmly fixed, the old 66th will soon
be independent of Tennessee ami
Kentucky for provisions. This news
is indeed cheering from our farmers,
and if the seasons continue propi
tious—which is to be devoutly
hoped for—old Burke county will
be again independent no matter
who is elected President.
It is with feelings of deepest sor
row that we record the death of
Mrs. Winnie Sullivan, wife of W.
G. Sullivan, and our beloved daugh
ter-in-law, which sad event occur
red in Decatur, Ga., on Thursday
night of last week, May 22il, 1884, in
the 27th year of her age, of typhoid
fever, after a wasting and lingering
illness.
Death has for the first time since
we have had a family entered our
little flock and claimed one of our
beloved ones for a victim despite
the skill of the physician or the
tender care of loving hearts and
gentle hands. At an early age she
joined the Methodist church, and
her life has been an example of ex
emplary Christianity. She was a
true woman, a faithful friend, duti
ful daughter, a loving wife and an
affectionate mother. But Death
has cut her down in the prime of
her womanhood, and she passed
over the dark river believing and
trusting that Jesus who gave Him
self a willing attonement for the
redemption of fallen man. Our loss
is Heaven’s gain, and she now
sings anthems of praise before the
great throne of Him “who doeth all
things well.” But our heart is
weary and our sorrow is heavy—
we miss our beloved child whose
sweet face will be seen on earth no
more forever! She leaves a hus
band, two little ones whom Death
has forever bereft of the loving
care and tender atl'ection of a moth
er, and many relatives and friends
who sincerely mourn her early
doom.

We copy the following from the
Augusta Chronicle, which will
doubtless afresh the memory of
many of our readers with this
bloody crime, which was commit
ted in this county in 1872. The par
ticulars will bo found below:
“Yesterday, the 25th in.st., the
county police made a neat capture
who is believed to have human
blood upon his bands, and who
twelve years ago killed Daniel
Walker, colored, in Burke county.
The name of the fugitive is Mar
cus Ellis alias .Joe Mitchell, colored
and the deed was done in 1872,
when he is said to have killed his
man with a shot gun after quarrell
ing about the possession of a bas
ket. The shot was tired through a
crack in the cabin in which Wal
ker lived upon the premises of Dr.
Rhodes. Walker was Instantly
killed. A reward of one hundred
dollars was ottered for the appre
hension of Ellis. He seems to have
made his escape, however, into
South Carolina, and has boon work
ing at Ellenton on the Port Royal
and Augusta railroad. A day or
two since Ellis returned to Augusta
and the county police, like the
giant of old, smelt blood with the
keenness of true oiHoers of the law.
He was accordingly arrested and
lodged In our county Jail, whence
lie will be turned over to our Burke
county officers to answer to the
charge,
The above is a fine evidence of
the vigilaiteo of the otHeers of
Richmond county, and evil doers
rarely, If over, escape the clutches
of the law, lie the commission of
tine crime of recent date or roinotu,”
