Cotton- -Frep Labor—Fei tili zera. Chrislinn Index. The iuilieutioivs at present; point to the. consumption of not less than uiio hundred thousand tons of commercial fertilizers twenty thousand tons move than were ius spectod last year in Georgia ! Al ready (March 8,) wo learn, nearly one hundred and fifteen thousand tons have been inspected. The to tal above will require over one sixth of the total cotton crop of Georgia to pay for it. The proba ble average animal increaso of the crop by the use of commercial fer tilizers is not mss than two bales of cotton for each ton used. "What an enormous growth in tho use of fertilizers in the past fifteen years ! With a certain class of writers who are interested in presenting com parative views of the results of givs en periods of slave and free labor which arc disparaging to tho for mer, it has been popular to attri bute tho great increase in tho cot ton crop of the South to the chang ed labor system, and the improve ments in culture and varieties us incident to the change. In our humble opinion nothing could be farther from tho truth. The increased use of fertilizers has not only increased tho product in tho original cotton belt,but it has widd eucd that belt towards tho North not less than fifty miles. Besides this the great extension of the cot ton area in Texas and Arkansas, due to increase in population, has add- U probably nearly a million bales to tho crop. These causes, with others of less importance but not a bit more creditable to free negro labor, are amply suilicieut to account tor die increase. Wo have not tlie statistics of tho last thirty or forty years of cotton production at hand, but a careful examination of them—with duo al lowance for tho causes of incteasod production which are no way de pendent upon free labor—will justi fy the opinion that tho present pro duction would have been much greater than it is if slavery had boon undisturbed, Ttier! are hopeful indications of future but slowly approaching pros perity, which may ovomuully roach a point, beyond what wo would have attained had slavery continued, but this is extremely doubtful in view uJ the presence of the negro with us. Shivery may have been a curse, in some sun-6, but its abolition has not yet been fruitful of material blessings to the South. Planting Corn- Outhbert Enterprise. Three yours ago when Colonel It E Kennon explained to ns his plan of making a crop of earn with seven furrows, we thought the highest point of economy in tho way of making com, was already reached. While on a little jaunt over in Quitman a few days ainoc tv • p’tSMid by a piece of ground on the far.n ot Mr J A Huisten, which he liad prepared for corn, intending to make a crop with three furrows He beds up the ground ua if for cot ton rowrti three feet apart ...leaving the middle furrow to be epht, when the corn is planted, and covers with a hoe. Tho first plowing is made by running a five-inch shovel on the top of the bed one time, which throws all the dirt around tho plant that is needed, and covers up what small grass there may be. The second plowing is made with one furrow of a fourteen inch sweep, bringing the ground nearly to a level, and the third with a twenty two inch sweep which throws a slight bed around the corn. Mr Huisten tried this plan last year, and was well satisfied with the re sult. We may say for tho benefit of the incredulous, that Mr Huisten always has made plenty of corn for his own nse, and sells some every year. The distance at which the seed naust be put in the drill under this plan, depends, of course, upon the fertility of the soil. Mr Hais ten does not recommend this plan for stiff clay land that runs togeth er after each rain. Carlyle once asiced an Edin burgh student—-who tells the story in the Milwaukee Sentinel—what be was studying for ? The youth reidied that he had not quite made hi* mind up. There was a sudden flash of the old Scotchman's eye, a sudden pulling down of the shaggy eyebrows, and the stern face grew sterner as he said: The man with out a purpose is like a ship without a rudder; a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life if it is only to kill and divide and sell oxen well, bat have a purpa-e; aud having it ) thow such strength of mind and and muscle into your work as God has glveri you. A Representative Souther ner- Joseph E Brown, of Georgia, is (ho only millionaire in the senate from the Into confederacy. Tho south has never been a good sprouting ground for millionaires, and the few it has possessed have shown small aptitude for politics. Mr Brown does not belong to the ehivuliv in any sense. lie started out in life ns a poor schoolmaster, was but little thought of by the golden youth whom ho was engag ed to induct into the earlier mys teries of the multiplication table and the nine parts of speech. He had a epuragious spirit, great ener gy and an aspiring mind. He worked his way first into laiv, then into politics, and between them,into wealth. He is the richest man in his state to-day, and is worth not less than $3,000,000. This wouldn't seem a very great iortuuo in New York or San Francisco, but it makes tho Georgia crackers lift their hats to its possessor, and gives him any office lie may want. Ho is of medium stature, with an impress sivo bald crown fringed with brown hair, and flowing chin whiskers as white as snow. lie is possessed of a vast fund of common sense, and is exceedingly independent in politics. There are those who believo that he is the modem Moses who is to lead the people of the south out of tha bondage of bourbon democracy, bnt there really seems.very little reason to i \pect any thing so desirable. No At uses can lead a people that does not want to be led, and there is no evidence that the southern whites are anxious to throw oil tho shackles of democracy.—Washing ton Correspondence. Newspaper Enterprise. (Jliioigo Tribune. The publication of tho details of the battle at Spitzkup between tho Boers and the U.glish was one of the most marvelous feats of newspa per mid telegraph enterprise ever known. The London Standard sent Mr, Cameron, tho hardy, resolute, fearless African explorer, with the Br tisli advance to report its operations. Ho accompanied it in its difficult march to the summit of tho fatal li iglit, Wh n tho Boer.i made that gallant charge in tho face of tho English bayonets, about winch they brag so much, and poured over into tho basin, from wliicn they drove tho English like sheep, Mr Cameron was knock ed down, ran over, tram pled upon and captured. Ho showed his newspaper credentials and note book, and having established his professional identity, was requested to act as a flag-of-truce bearer to enable tho English to take care of their wounded, lie reached the British camp that night and wrote his dispatches ot about 2,500 words. That, dispatch was put upon the army field wires and reached tho the coast. Hence it trnv lod up to the east coast of Africa, ov T 3,00 ) * miles and tapped the East Indian wires in the gulf of Aden, thence on tho bottom of the Lied soil, an other 2,000 or 3,000 miles, to the Mediterranean to Italy, thenoe through Italy 7 and over the Alps, and through Franco and across tho British channel to London. Hot stopping there, it goes to Velentia, on tho west coast ot Ireland, and spoeds across the Atlantic to New foundland, thence to New York, and from New York across the con tinent to San Francisco, and on the following morning it is printed in every daily newspaper in the civil ized world—-a thousand ot them in this country. An Eiguni Woxdkk of the M'oeLD. —The Hev Dr Allen Tib bits, aged seventy-seven years, who now lives at Coldwater, Mich,, makes this romarka* le statement. I never took a chew of tobacco, never smoked a pipe or cigar, never drank a drop of whiskey, never sang a song, never played csß’ds,! billiards, checkers, croquet, or any game except the innocent games ot childhood; never struck a blow, never met with an accident, though I have traveled 100,000 miles, and never did s. thing of which I felt ashamed, I can repeat more of tlio BibL than an man living of whom I have any knowledge, I have given away more real estate in this city (Coldwater) than all its other inhabitants. I preached for over fifteen years, aud traveled over five hundred miles attending funerais, and all the salary I ever received was a pouud oi tea worth seventy, five cents. The Ilawkinsville Dispatch thinks that. Messrs, Leacock and Obery, of l'ulaski county, are the best farmers in the state. T iey made last year seventy-one bales of cotton on eighty-eight acres of land. W, W. COLLINS, Manufacturer of CHIIIIK BUGGIES i WAGONS f A: T - L Second reef.
