TAIr B( )TTOX, TV L HOT COU NT V, G A., TU BSD AY. APR IL 11), 1881 .
Plain Taik About the South
WuKliingtui. Font.
The sectional debate inti which
the Mahone affair has needlessly led
the senate seems to be generally
ignored by the country. Indiffer
ence in tho north is met by uncon
cern in the south.
Welcome signs, indeed.
But is it remarkable that this
should bo so ? Wbn' do business
men care about exaggerated re
hearsals of the crime and excesses
incident to reconstruction ? What
interest has Senator Hill's political
position in 1860, Senator Brown's
in 1888 or Senator Hoar's in 1877
for thrifty farmers and enterprising
capitalists ?
The south is engrossing public
attt ution just now, not ns the south
of ’CI, ’G.i or 70, but as the south
of‘Bl. Northern capitalists are *
beginning to develop this grand re
gion, the garden spot of the coun
try. They are building railroads,
erecting manufactories and grow
ing cotton and sugar cane. They
come not as politicians, but as bus
iness men And they are royally
welcomed on all sides.
The scene is a pleasant one, in
which the south rejoices and the
north takes pride. Joined togeth
er thus, the ties being those of in
dividual interest, us strong as last
ing, what c ,ro tho sections for the
memories of the past ?
Nothing at all.
Let the senators talk on. Let
them excite themselves as much as
they pleaso. It is all
harmless amusement now. Out
side of the chamber nobody is in
terested.
Good Advice-
C.irtorsville Kxprass.
If yon do not rpiit buying so
much corn, meal and hav yon will
become impov nulled next year.
Tour money end credit will be
gone.
You will lie in u dh-iuid fix.
Your In rses will die on high
provender.
You will he bankrupt.
You cannot meet your taxes.
An eight million halo crop of cot
ton will be attempted.
If it succeeds your best cotton
wih bring six cents, and poor three
or four cents.
The world n nv lias 2,900,000 bales
of old cotton in sight, and at least
oOd.OOO bales more to come in.
These are official facts.
You are sensible men.
Show it by sowing more oats
oven now.
Plant largely of corn.
Sow liberally in May or Juno
German millet for hay.
In due time sow from two to
twenty acres in clover,
lUise hogs, or you will pay
twelve and a half to fifteen cents
for western bacon.
We know you will not relish this
advice.
You will say it is none oi our bus
iness, but we feel all we have writ
ten.
We have diseli rged a duty, and
we leave it to your sound'’judge
ment.
