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. Bang Up Obituary. Jem Bangs, w rue sorry lo slait, has deceased. He departed this life last Monday. He wont 4th without any r struggle, and such is Life, Tu Day we are as pepper grass —mighty smart, tu niorrer we are out down like a cosvcumber of the ground, Jem kep a mat* stor 1 , which his wile now w ,te. on. His virenews wos nniiieions to behold. Many tilings w<- bought at Ids grow 1 cerv,and we are happy to stait to the admirin world that he never clien ted, sp-slily in the wale ol mack rel,which was nine and smelt sweet, and his survival! wife i in the same iva.

He leaves 1 wife, 9 children, 1 cow, 4 lmrses, a grow eel's store, arid other quadrupeds to mourn his logs--but in the lan guage of the poit, his loag is their eternal gain. GeokGu.—Cotton says: All ac counts agree that there will be -an other large increase of acreage in the ridge lands of Northwest Geor gia, which have L'iven most of the increase of acreage in recei t years, | That coun’ry has hitherto been a grain region, but cotton culture is found to be more profitable. What we wish to emphathize is the fact that the Southern Status, without foreign immigration have grown more rapidly in population during the last ten years than the ! new c-msus shows there has been a i large increase of the foreigu e!#' 1 meet. •I’llK WEEK AUHOAO. Hon. Frank L Haralson, of At lanta, has been selected orator for memorial day by the association at Thomaston. The increase of Methodism is one of the wonders of religious growth.

In Kngland a youth ol 18 yours of age was recently sentenced to thruo months' imprison niont with hard labor, for entering u garden and stealing a sprig ol geranium and a rosebud. Dr. Reuben Sjarcy.of Tuscaloosa, Ain., has pullod 2,000 teeth since he lias been practicing medicine— fifty yearß. His terms are novel— -50 cents if you don't “holler," $1 if you do 1 Tho height of fashion at tho Oeurt of Dahomey is n costume Consisting of the blue, gold, green and rod labels carefully peeled from the medicine and pickle bottlct*. brought by Europeans into tho King's dominions. Tho labels are gummed on to the naked body, and the effect is, at any rate, stnrt ling. There are 23,009 famine farmers in Great Britian. One-fourth of the people of this country livo in cities. McDuffie county is not only out of debt, but lms a balance to Iler credit of 2.876.73. Tho official figures show that one third more fertilizers have been in spect din Georgia this, than last year The Richmond and Danville rail road lias leased the Atlanta and Charlotte Air-Lins railroad. Tho Henry County Weekly teils a real ghost story. A citizen was passing by a grave yard at night, and saw a ghost following him, 110 drew a pistol and fired, and the ghost disappeared. Tin* next morning the body ot a fine host was found on the spot where the ghost was seen, and the courageous citizen hud to pay damages fo the owner of the swine. He is done with shooting at ghosts. It is too expensive a luxury. The cotton receipts of Mecon up to April Ist were 61,412 bales, ugainst 50,319 up to the same date last year. Troup county estimated her damages from the recent rains at twenty thousand dollars The population is more equally divided between the sexes in Maine ‘.linn in any other state, where there are 100,240 females to 100,000 males. Now fuel has been discovered by which n locomotive can be run from New York to Philadelphia for $4 instead of $25, which is the cost of coai. Ii is a combination of petro leum ami attain. The Georgia, Central and South Carolina railroads, working to gether, will constitute one of the biggest railroad systems in tho South.
