Respectfully Referred to His Georgia
Relative.
Mr. J. B. Sargent, of New Haven,
Conn., (who, by the way, is a brother
of Capt. H. J. Sargent, of this city,) is
said to be the largest manufacturer of
locks, bolts, builders’ and furniture
hardware, and certain lines of carpen
ter’s tools, in the world. He employs
two thousand hands, and his shops
cover twelve acres of ground. But,
unlike his Georgia relative, he is not a
protectionist. He has visited all the
manufacturing countries on earth, and
has just returned from a tour around
the world; has investigated markets,
prices and wages, and his deliberate
conclusion is that he could profitably
compete with the world if the tariff on
raw materials were abolished. He
could do this without reducing wages
one cent, and by largely increasing his
output, give employment to many more
men. lie found.that, leaving the cost
of raw materials out of the calculation,
he could produce cheaper than any
other country. While for heavy goods,
easy of manufacture, there was no
special foreign demand, he found that
we exported large quantities of goods
of which skilled labor was the most
important element. Among other
things he said:
“In visiting hardware stores in New
Zealand and Australia, I saw that the
higher'grade and best finished carpen
ters’ hand saws in stock were made by
Disston & Sons, of Philadelphia. Saws
of that make are unquestionably tak
ing the markets of those countries from
the British manufactures in high class
goods. This means that Disston &
Sons can produce a highly finished,
first-class saw, requiring a large amount
of skilled labor, at less cost than the
English manufacturer can do it, al
though Disston’s raw material costs
more than the raw material of the
English manufacturer costs him. In
low grade goods, requiring less labor in
•finish, but a larger proportionate
amount of raw material, the English
manufacturers still maintain their po
sition, and hold the markets of the
world.
“My observation has taught me that
the greatest obstacle to American com
petition in foreign markets to nearly
every class cf goods is the high price of
our raw materials. Take off the duty
and we will send our goods everywhere.
Wages would increase here under such
;t system rather than become lower. The
cost of frieght between England and
this country would amply protect the
American workingmen against Europe
an labor, even if there were anything to
be feared on that score, which I do not
believe. I feel sure that if we were put
on an equality with England, or nearly
on equality, in the matter of raw ma
terials, the business of American man
ufacture for foreign countries would
largely increase without any; reduction
in the rate of wages in tlie United
States. In fact, part of what we would
save in the cost of raw material would
be added to the present wages here.”
At the meeting of the State Fann
ers’ Alliance in Macon last week the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: R. II. Jackson, presi
dent; L. F. Livingston, vice-president;
R. L. Burks, secretary; J. H. Daniel,
treasurer; Simeon Maxwell, chaplain;
J. W. Beck, lecturer; .J. W. Taylor, as
sistant lecturer; Edgar Stewart, door
keeper; S. J. Harper, assistant door
keeper; N. C. Bridges, sergeant-at-
arms; J. H. Turner, State organizer.
The following committees were ap
pointed: Executive Committee—W. B.
Hamilton, W. T. Goodwin, J. I. Ste
phens. Judiciary Committee—J. II.
Turner, L. L. Hardy, W. R. Gorman.
Printing Committee—J. M. Massey, E.
W. Russell, D. B. Wells.
The Athens correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph says that Miss Millie
Rutherford, principal of Lucy Cobb
Institute, has addressed p, letter to the
mayor and council stating that reports
of sickness in Athens were ruining her
school, and many parents who had en
tered their daughters fcr the ensuing
scholastic year had notified her of their
withdrawal. She asks the city author
ities to take some steps to save the in
stitute from seriousjoss of patronage.
B. F. McLaughlin, chairman of the
kite Congressional Convention, has ap
pointed the following District Execu
tive Committee for the ensuing two

W. D. Crawford, of Marion; G. M.
Williams, of Muscogee; R. M. V illis, of

R. Bradfield, of Troup.

bell, and ten from Douglas. Hon. Levi
Ballard will be presented as the choice

less be nominated by acclamation.

Carrollton on Tuesday next to nomi
nate candidates for the Legislature
from Carroll county, and also to select
delegates to the Thirty-seventh Dis
trict Senatorial Convention. The con
vention will be composed of delegates
from the various militia districts, who
will be selected by primary election
to-morrow.
Hon. R. H. Jackson, President of
the Farmers’ Alliance, left Wednesday
for Washington City, to be absent sev
eral days.* His mission is understood to
be in the interest of the Farmers’ Al
liance, in the fight now being waged
by that organization against the wicked
bagging trust.
^.t the primary election held in
Heard county last Saturday to nomi
nate a candidate for the Legislature,
Hon. W. H. Daniel was victorious, de

lingsworth, by a large majority.
A primary election will be held in
Campbell county to-morrow to nomi
nate a candidate for the Legislature.
The candidates are H. L. Johnston,
Rush Irwin and A. B. Smith.
The situation in Jacksonville is de
cidedly gloomy. Up to date there have
been 131 cases and 20 deaths, and the
epidemic is spreading. All reports are
discouraging.
Oconee, Ga.
Mr. Editor:—We left on the 19th
inst. for a trip to our native county,
Jefferson. We reached Sandersville
at 1 o’clock, p. m., where we were met
by our good old friend, Major Newman,
and escorted to his comfortable and
hospitable home. Here we met his
good lady and daughter-in-law, and, as
“Ripples” would say, we sat on the
outside of just such a dinner as only
such good housewives can prepare.
After one hour socially and pleasantly
spent we boarded the train for Gibson,
the county seat of Glasscock, reaching
our destination at 4 ip. M., soon after
which that section was visited by a
nice, cooling shower. During our en
tire trip the country seemed to be dry,
and the dust was almost unbearable.
It took our optics three days to get
over its effects. Along the line of the
several railroads the crops seemed to
be uniform in appearance and rather
small, cotton largely predominating in
acreage.
Sunday morning we reached the res
idence of our only aged sister, (now in
her 90th year.) That evening we had
a fine rain. Monday morning with
two of our kindred we went to Rocky
Comfort creek to catch some fish; but
for some reason, unknown to us, the
fish were out visiting, or not hungry.
Owing to the rain, we stood and walk
ed that day on slippery places. We
made many visible impressions; were
met by quite an array of venomous
mosquitoes and saw two snakes. The
party caught three cats, (fish, I mean,)
terrapins, ditto, and quit in disgust.
Exhausting our muscular power in pull
ing up a long sand hill, (the hill is still
there,) we reached our starting point
and avowed we would fish in Rocky
Comfort (the rocks and comfort were
all out) no more. Moral—make no
Sunday fishing arrangements.
On Tuesday we visited Gibson. Su
perior Court was in session, Judge
Lumpkin presiding. We were forcibly
impressed with his manner of dispatch
ing business. The sheriff is not allowed
to go to the door to call a juror or wit
ness. Thej’ are required to be in the
Court-room, ready when needed. Good
rule, we think. At 3 P. M., the grand
jury presentments were read, and that
evening the Court adjourned—only two
days session. We met our cousin there
—just six and a half feet long.
We boarded the cars for Jefferson
and landed at Stapleton at 5 p. m. We
spent some days here visiting around,
and were forcibly impressed with the
wonderful advancement made in the
farming interest of the upper section
of the bounty. The soil is light, gray,
sandy land, some of it gravelly. The
crops are remarkably good. We were
present at a sale in 1834, and saw land
that had then been in cultivation for
many years. There is cotton growing
to-day on that land that will yield one
bale to every two and one-half acres.
They give their cotton four feet dis
tance in the row, and use mostly the
Peterkin variety. Being sandy land,
we noticed many places attacked by
the rust. The rains have been frequent
and the corn crops are good. The
health of the county generally is good.
WeA'isited the grave of our life-long
friend, Co!. James Stapleton, who died
21st February last, and as we looked
upon his silent grave we felt that Jef
ferson county had lost one of her tru
est, noblest sons. He was a grand
man—a high-toned, Christian gentle
man. He had made life a success. He
was loved by all—his heart, his purse,
his hand, was ever ready to minister to
the wants of the suffering poor and the
afflicted. He was the noble son of a
noble sire. He was popular in his
county, representing it several times
in the Legislature. He was a faithful
minister of the Gospel, holding forth
the Word of Life until failing health
bade him cease, and he died in the full
assurance of a blessed immortality be
yond the grave. God grant that his
mantle may fall upon some one by
whom it may be as worthily worn.
We had the pleasure of meeting
quite a number of cousins, but no un
cles nor aunts.
Kindest regards to the “Ripples,”
“Rats,” and other household corres
pondents. More anon. Vincent.
