finding to the Southern planters the
tax on cotton which was wrongfully

shall memorialize the Legislature at
its next session to place under tlie
.control! pi the State Agricultural

by Congress for the establishment of
an agricultural coin-go; and <hat the
same committee visit tlie locations
deemed best calculated tor the estab
lishment. of sae! college and report
tlie result of their proceedings to the
:until r Convention of tins body.
The resolution was seconded and an
animated discussion ensued which
continued to tiie hour of adjourn
ment.
Relative to the Great Atlantic &
Western Canal the following resolu
tions were passed ;
Resolved That the State Agricultu
ral Convention of Geo. recognizes the
importance to the people of this State
of the building of the Atlantic and
Great Western Canal ; and that tlie
members of Congress from Georgia
be requested to use their inliitenoe to
seem e the passage of a bill by Con
gress tor its construction.
Resolved, That the President of
this Convention appoint a committee
of three to act in consert with the
committee appointed by Atlanta and
Macon, to memorialize Congress to ,
build, or aid in constructing said j
Canal.
The Convention adjourned to meet J
in Griffin next August.
Important Decision.—The Supreme
Court has made this decision:
“Where a factor makes advances'
to a planter, and takes a lien upon
the growing croys under Revisited
Code, sectiuo 1,977, such advances
are in the nature of purchase money j
and the lieu is therefore superior to the
wi e’s titlo, where the cro pwas set
apart to tier a* personalty under the
bmnertead laws, alter it uu* made.”

case was u negro hoot black about
thirteen years of age, who hid recen

from Hawley in the same Mate, lie
was a sprightly, inoffensive negro,
and had been guilty of no crime. The
account sa) t-r
On isauirday night, after the depar
ture of No. V express train, which
was a I i;e imtir, ihe boy went into
one ot tii, railway company's build

sleeping when three laborers came

as hod -otliers of their repugnance to
the buy because ol his color, and laid
ing- hitr m*passiug on their oomain,
liiev at once delerufned to vent their
•hatred upon him. Taking a can of
kerosene oil they saturated the pan
taloons of the sleeping ,boy with its
Combust. ble contents and then toiich
el a match to it. lu an instant the
flames flashed up, and the p-mr little
waif awoke to find h mselt enveloped
in lire. Others had entered the
building by that time, but, notwitli
siautlSug the shrieks and ,en,treaties
ot tlie boy, no move was maac lo ex
tiugtiish the flames.
At last one of the bystanders dash
ed a pail of water on him, which,
however only added to their fury.
Finally, when it was seen that the
boy was almost exhausated one of the
three who had set lire Lo ii m tie v un
evercoat about hts body, and otlie s.
attracted by the shrieks of the boy,
rushed in and smothered the blaze.
A messenger was sent by one of the

oi the boy disclosed that his leg were

Good Friend,s
--“I wish that I had some good
friends to help me on in life!” cried
idle Dennis with a yawn.
“Good friend ! why, you have teir'D
replied his master.
“I’m sure I havn’t half so many,
and those I have are too poor to heip
me.”
“Count your fingers, my boy,”
said his master.
Dennis looked at his large strong
hands.
Count thumbs aol all,” added the
master.
“I have; there are ten,” said the
lad.
“Then never say you have not
got ten good friend able to jielp you
on in life. Try what those true
friends can do before you begin
grumbling and fretting because you
do not get help from others.”
If your are not your own friend
it is foolish to expect others to be
friend you. Providence only helps
those who help themselves.— N. Y.

Salt for Tomato Plants.
A market gardner of Lake county
Illinois, says that he has the most re
markable success in the use of salt
upon his tomato plants, lie applies
it at various times during the season
and iu every ease its effects are mark
ed in the increased growth of both
plant and fruit. Iu some cases lie lays
the roots of backward plants bare,
sprinkling them with a table spoonful
of ordinary barrel salt, and covers
soil. Plants ordinarily treated in this
way take an immediate start and de
velop the fruit.

| A Card from the State School
(Joimuistsiouer.
Dis’r Education, State okff t,, 1
Ojitmcß State School Com -
’.iis’ll, Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 7,’12. )
Editors Atlanta ]) ■■i/i/ Am/: —I
propose, as brielly as possible, to give
certain information, Ist, to hose in
terested in the Public Schools to be
inaugurated for the year ]s72;and
2d, to those who have rend, red ser
vices as school off cels the past year,
and arc still unpaid.
Ist. As to the schools for the pres
ent year. Under the amended school
Law, no schools can be established
! in any county till the fall term of the
j Superior Court, for that county. Hie
j only school officers .for the county, un
j der t he Law, will be the County Hoard
to he composed of five free holders,
and the Comity Commissioner chosen
by them, either from their own num
ber or from t he citizens of the county.
The Grand Jury, at its first session
i after the passage of the law, see.
| 10th, is to choose this board, and it
iis made the fluty of the beard, see.
■ 1 i)L1 1 , to ‘■make an estimate of tlm
i amount necessary, in addition to
! what will be received from the State
| to carry on said schools for at least.
! six 'oaths in the year, which t-sti-
Jttrv at. its text se.-stou and said
| Grand Jury tuny if i hey approve
said estimate, authorize the Ordi
nary or County commissioner in such
eott.uy to 1 vy a comity tax suiti ient
ito raise the required sum.’ '1 it us, it
1 no com) y tax can be b.ied
of Edit -a. ion of any e< unly si,ad fail
: continuing the school-, in opm-ktii.ii
:i,e lenglit of time hertn ic,j uicd j»iv
s-.,>!ith.s -t .nit I si cli
sellouts, but such futnl shall retrain
m the Treasury of the stale of Geor
gia.” This last quotation seems to
establish -it as the policy of the law
1 to nay over to no comity her prorata
part of the State fund, till the consti
tuted authorities levy the necsssary
county tax. It is- clear, then, that no
schools can be established till the se
cond term of the court, and not then,
without the Grand Jury shall author
ize the levy of the necessary county
I tax. 1 would, therefore, recommend
teachers to opt#i private schools upon
their own terms for the lirst half of the
| year.
2nd As to the .compensation for
] services rendered by teachers and
j others the cast year. It will be seen
| trom tne copy oi trie utw, wntci'i nas
! been generally distributed among the
| school officers, that section 4lh of
the Act approved 20tli of January,
: 1872, authorizes the Gov. to draw
his warrenton the Treasurer in favor
of State School Commissioner, f r the
sum of three hundred thousand dol
j Jars, to be paid out of the funds then
: in the Treasury, appropriated by law
to the Public Schools system, and in
said fund is insufficient to pay the
debt now due to the officers and
teachers of Public Schools, section
sth provides that the amount shall be
raised by a sale of bonds now in the
Treasury of the Stafe tinder act of
July f 9th, 1870.
It, is impossible for me to tell when
this money will be ready for several
reasons :
Ist. There is great uncertainty as
to what is due to school fund, and
it is imposible to ascertain at present!
what portion of tins is now in the
Treasury.
2nd A proviso to the section in re
ference to the sulse of bonds says that
they shall not be sold at rates in
jurious to the credit of the State, to
be left to the discretion of the Gover
nor.
3rd. Another proviso requires the
money to be distributed in the por
proportion of the children of each
county entitled to the privileges of
Public Schools and there are thirty
counties in the State that have not
mande full returns as to the number
; of children so entitled.
Just as soon as the necessary steps
can be taken to realise the money in
a manner which shall acord with tire
provisidns ol the law it will be done
and the parties in interest shall re
ceive the proper official notice for this
department. Gustavus- J. Our.

haveing a scratchy appearance, apd
! none of the graceful folds, produced
bv lights and shades, which will be
found in the genuine note. The feet of
the figure are badly drawn; also upon
the right arm, as seen upon the gen
uine note, is a bracelet, .strongly defin
ed, while in rhe counterfeit it is scarce
ly’ perceptible. Upon the upper left
corner of the note is a shield, with the
monogram “If. 5.,” under which a
ribbon, with the motto, “E Pluribux
Unum in the genuine it is quite
readable, while in the counterfeit it is
blurred and the letters badly formed.
Over the letter “U” of the United
States, is the lettering “series of 1809-
Between the words “series of” and
“18G9” in the genuine there is a small
flourish, but in the counterfeit ther' .
none. In the face of the note i- bad,
and has a desided lithograpic look;
also in length it is one-eight of an
inch shorter than the genuine- The
reverse of the counterfeit, composed
of lettering and geometrical lathe
works, is a close imitation of the gen
uiue note.”
