At 11 o’clock Thursday
morning Judge James S. Hook and
Mrs Eula C. Mays were united in
the bands of matrimony, in the
Christian church, in Augusta, and
at 4 o’clock, p. m., the same day,
Hon. W. T. Gary and Miss Fannie
Phinizy were married at the resi
dence of Dr. Thomas Phintzy, on
Green street, in the same city.—
These gentlemen are well know in
Waynesboro,and have many friends
here. It has often been said that,
“Death loves a shining mark,” and
we think by analogy, that Cupid is
an impertinent little god to aim the
fatal shaft at the hearts of these
tough “old roosters.” They both
have our good wishes for their fu
ture felicity. As the dull season of
summer progresses, and the little
blink rascal gets out of business, we
would not be at all surprised to
hoar that he had been playing
pranks with the heart of Hon. Geo.
T. Barnes. Sic vita est.
gw The judiciary committee
recommended Speer’s confirmation
to the senate on Wednesday by a
strict party vote of the committee,
and as the senate is Republican, his
confirmation is assured whenever
the question comes up for action
which will probably be next Mon
day. Senator Colquitt has done his
whole duty, and has opposed this
confirmation with all his might,
while Senator Brown has been a
warm advocate of Speer throughout
the contest. The people of the
Southern District of Georgia will
recognize the efforts of Senator Col
quitt in their behalf in this matter,
and will accord him that approba
tion which he so well deserves. So
far as Senator Brown is concerned,
no man knows where to locate him.
True to nothing, to no principle, and
to no individual unless he is serv
ing some private and selfish end, he
sways a power that confounds the
the thinking man. We are fully
aware that our arms are too short
to reach him, but his day of retribu
tion and humiliation will come as
sure as night follows day. Our gov
ernment is a representative govern
ment, and no legislator—municipal,
state or national—has any right to
legislate for himself, and such a one
is dangerous to the principles of free
government.
(IKNKIIAI. GORDON IS DEAD.
The mystery of General Chinese
Gordon has been cleared away, and
there remains no doubt of his fate. A
cablegram from London, Eng., da
ted February 10, says:
“A dispatch to Reuter’s telegram
company, from Korti, says that
Colonels Wilson and Wortley, wfio
were with the expeditionto Khar
toum, arrived hero to-day. They
made the journey from Gubat in
four days. They brought news of
General Gordon’s death. It was
learned that one of the treacherous
pashas among General Gordon’s
forces marched the garrison to the
side of the nearest Omdurman, say
ing that the rebel attack was ex
pected at that point. In the mean
time another treacherous pasha
opened tho gates of the other end,
and allowed the madhi’s troops to
enter and they easily captured the
town. General Gordon was stab
bed Just as he was leaving the gov
ernment house.
“The Daily News which appears
this morning in mourning out of re
spect for General Gordon publishes
the following from Gakdul:
"The natives who escaped from
Khartoum Bay that General Gordon
was killed in tho act of leaving
his house to rally the faithful troops.
The latter were cut down to a man,
and for hours tho best part of tho
town was the scene of a merciless
slaughter, not even the women and
children being spared. All the no
tables were killed except the
treacherous pashas and their fol
lowers.
“The Soudanese fought well until
they heard of the fall of Khartoum,
when they became demoralized.—
The mahdi caused the massacre of
all of Gordon’s men, together with
their wives and children. General
Gordon was killed the morning of
the 27th of January. Tho garrison
at Gubat is exasperated over the
news of tho massacre.”
Advices from England represent
tho English people as wild with ex
citement over tho news of tho fall
of Khartoum and tho murdor of
Gen. Gordon and his troops. Heavy
reinforcements have been ordered
to Egypt, in consequence of the
great heat of tho climate, which is
now setting in, and tho drying up
oftheNllo which occurs annually
during the hot season, the British
will be able to effect nothing before
land sill lias much work before she
completes tho conquest of Egypt.

Hertlng of the Howard Agrlrulturiil Chili.
On the first Thursday of tho
month, tho usual day for meeting,
most of tho members gathered at
tho residence of Mr. Rufus Cross.—
Three progressive farmers from
Emanuel, Messrs. Garbett, Coleman
and Brown, attended and were cor
dially welcomed by the club.
Dr. W. B. Jonhs was called to the
chair, and introduced a resolution,
which was unanimously adopted,
thanking the Hon. J. T. Henderson,
commissioner of agriculture, for
publishing in his monthly crop re
ports the lectures of Mr. George
Ville, of France, and requesting a
continuance of the same with any
other scientific, foreign or homo
teachings on agriculture.
The subject, “Does Farming Pay
in Burke County—If Not, Why
Not?” was then road. Mr. Belt,
who was to open tho discussion, be
ing absent, Mr. J. J. Davis, by re
quest, then read the following essay:
“Burke county before the. war was
one of the richest, if not the richest
county in Georgia. It is a very
large section, lying beautifully be
tween the Ogeechee and Savannah
rivers, almost as level as a plain,
which will probably never wasli
away, and ought to grow richer
every year with proper cultivation.
It once had, and still has in many
places,lovely palatial homes, with a
great variety of fine fruit. The
climate is mild and pleasant, and
the soil naturally rich and produc
tive. It is said that when Sher
man’s army passed through Burke
they pronounced it the finest part
of the state, and surely it must be
since one can grow almost anything
here. Almost every one was com
fortable or rich before the war—
now the wealthy have become poor
and the poor, poorer. What is the
matter? Does farming pay in Burke
county? If not, Avliy not? I answer
in my judgment it does not pay
now, and I wish with your indul
gence to give a few brief reasons:
“1st. A greater part of the farm
ers of Burke have turned over their
lands, mules, corn, fodder, Ac., to an
irresponsible class of labor, who
never knew anything but a master
to follow them from sunrise to sun
set before the war—now, in these
days of freedom, they are enjoying
themselves playing beneath the
boughs of the tree of liberty, while
farms, mules, Ac., Ac., are being
neglected, and we are all (with our
lands) growing poorer and poorer
year by year. Hon. A. H. Stephens
never uttered in my opinion a
truer sentiment than when he said
that every setting sun finds Geor
gians poorer than when it rose.—
All of our best lands are being
rapidly exhausted and no effort
made to fertilize and restore them.
How much longer can wo live,
move aqil have our being under
such a system; where five and six
hands are following one mule in
stead of two as formerly ? Surely
the farmer must be a man of great
financial flexibility to survive such
wreck and ruin.
“2d. The all cotton system, which
compels the farmer to buy his corn,
fodder, meat, mules, Ac., Ac., and
thereby forces him to seek credit,
when such usurious and exorbitant
rates of interest are charged that
ho cannot prosper. He may twist
and turn and rack his brain and
wear away his energies and life—
but he cannot succeed and must
eventually fall fainting by tho way.
If there be a monster of “such fright
ful mien that to be bated needs but
to be seen,” that monster is credit.
Ho will throw his brawny arms
around the most prosperous tillers
of the soil and break their bones in
pieces and grind them to powder!
Sliun him as you would the asp, tor
his approach is danger and his con
tact death!
“8d. The almost universal pur
chase and sale of farm produce is
enough of itself, if everything else
were prosperous and encouraging,
to ruin beyond “benefit of clergy”
each and every farmer in Burke
county. Now isn’t it an alarming
truth that when you toil and work
and make a good crop that you
have no assurance that you will get
it. Each farmer, (with rare excep
tions) lias ascended or condescend
ed, as the case may be, to the dignity
of a merchant; and, as soon as tho
crop bogins to ho harvested, lie be
gins to buy his neighbors cotton in
tho seed, cotton seed, corn, fodder
and peas—and it seems to be a
“snatch and grab game” as to who
will lio able to got tho most of his
neighbors crop. Tho contest con
tinues until tho crop is gathered
and tho landlord finds to ids sorrow
that he is loft in tho lurch—no
money, no corn, no fodder, no cot
ton seed, each hightoned farmer
having robbed his neighbor—all are
us since the war. Is there no rem
edy ? While we are being taxed so
much for other things by our legis
lators, can they not devise some
plan to save our county from total
bankruptcy? Can we not as an
agricultural club combino to make
it a penal offence to both buyer and
seller and stop this ruinous thing?
Surely we ought, to try to stop this
traffic. Can’t we do it? “Help,
Cassius, or we sink!” Whereas, the
traffic in farm produce in Burke
county is becoming so general
throughout the entire county and is
proving more and more disastrous
each and every year to our farming
interest; Therefore resolved, That
we, the Howard Agricultural Club,
disapprove and condemn the traf
fic as now carried on, and pledge
ourselves to use our influence be
fore our next legislature to cause to
be introduced and seek to have
passed a bill (with proper restric
tions and provisions) to prevent tho
sale of farm produce in Burke coun
ty, Oa.”
There was no action taken on this
resolution by the club. The general
opinion was this trafficing in farm
produce was an evil, but no one
knew a remedy,
Mr. R. II. Burton thought farmers
might do better if they attended
more closely to their business.
Mr. F. A. Jones believed that re
ducing the acreage and manuring
heavily and hying at home the only
way to remedy the evil of our pres
ent agricultural system.
Our chairman, Dr. W. B. Jones,
then gave it as his opinion, that
farming as now carried on did not
pay in Burke county. To ride
through the farming districts ten
anted principally by negroes, ex
hibited sad evidences of dilapida
tion and decay of farm buildings,
poor cultivated crops and scanty
livings, total absence of poultry,
hogs, sheep and cuttle, that former
ly added to the wealth of proprie
tors and the comfort of laborers.—
The cause of this was the produc
tion of one crop as a specialty for a
living, cotton was cultivated at the
expense of every comfort. The
manufacturing world demanded
cheap cotton at nine cents. This
could not be made profitable on ex
hausted soils with such rude and
barbaric tillage as is exhibited.—
Even with the injudicious and
wasteful application of fertilizers,
the laborer remained poor, shiftless
and dissatisfied. Under these cir
cumstances all cotton is the badge
of our poverty, rather than evidence
of increasing wealth. No agricul
ture will pay any people, unless the
greater part of the living is made
on the soil they till. It was a fact
in ante-bellum times, that men with
the best organized system of labor
the world ever had, failed utterly
to maintain themselves and laborers
with exclusive cotton culture.—
Many under this system became
bankrupt, and either sold out or
went away to the richer lands of
the West. Those who had money to
loan were men who produced all or
the greater part of their grain and
animal food on their own planta
tions and carried their own supplies
for man and beast from year to
year. Under the poorest diffusive
system of culture of the ignorant
negroes tho land gets poorer, and
the tenant in debt to the proprietor
and merchant who advances for
him, will stampede and leave be
hind him a barren waste; and plan
tations that were formerly valuable
and self-sustaining will scarcely pay
a comfortable living to the proprie
tor and his family. The difficulty
is not in tho soil or climate, wo have
ono of the finest agricultural coun
tries in tho world. What wo need
is the brain and energy of the white
man applied to tho supervision of
tho farm, with that providence and
foresight that characterized the
former owners of these plantations.
The tendancy lias boen too much to
move to towns and villages and
leave the producing wealth of the
country in tho hands of ignorant
tenants. Wo are but repeating his
tory, tho negro never built up any
country, nor never will. What wo
need is to got back to tho first prin
cipals of self-supporting agricul-
ural industry; cultivate loss area,
produeo larger crops per acre and
feed more stock and rely upon the
resources of tho farm for a living.
As an evidence that cheap cotton
will not mako wealth in any coun
try, it is asserted by travelers, that
tho poorest paid labor in China and
Japan are cotton culturist. Our
own refugee Confederates who went
to Brazil, at tiie invitation of Don
Fedro, after tho war, to cultivate
cotton wore completely discouraged
and returned home in poverty.—
England in her selfish policy to
stimulate the production of cheap
cotton in India, at the neglect of tho
Sepoy’s rice and food crops, more
than once produced a famine so ter
rible that tho government had to
step to tho relief of thoso poor peo
ple to keep millions from starving.
The Viceroy, of Egypt, under the
stimulus of high prices for cotton
during the war is known to have
bankrupted himself. And his Fol-
lans, the cotton culturors, were
brought to tho deepest want and
threatened famine themselves.—
us by railroads, our own thinly pop
ulated country at the South would
have been brought to face a famine
by the foolish neglect of our tood
crops in our Southern cotton craze.
Cheap food amounts to nothing
when those who need have not the
money to buy it. Cheap cotton and
poor land will not enable the labor
er to buy.
The club here adjourned to par
take of the usual good dinner. Some
one remarked, in glowing terms, on
seeing the table: “This looks like
making a living, doesn’t it ?”
When the club was again called
to order, wo had some discussion on
fertilizers and their application.
Heavy manuring was advocated.
The different members choose expe
riments for this year.
The subject for next meeting is:
“Ilog Raising, and the Most Eco
nomical Way of Feeding.” With
thanks to Mr. Cross for his splendid
entertainment, the club adjourned,
to meet again on tho first Thursday
in next month at Mr. J. M. Jones’,
