We publish on our outside of this issue
“The Conquered Buimer,” with a reply to
it by Sir Francis 11, of England. We
publish it because it is a gem worthy of
perpetuation in every Southern household.
It thrills the paLiots heart in every nation;
and from the traiw-Atlantic shore the echo
returns, “treat it gently, for ’tis holy.”
We would suggest to our reader, to cut
it out and put it in a scrap book. All have

Tbe Crops.
The reports for the last week from relia
able sources are exceeding unfavorable in
reference to tho cotton crops. Until with
in the last three weeks there has never
been, within the memory of the oldest citi
zens, prospects so favorable, and promis
ing so large a yield, as the present crop.
But the destroyer came, and prospects are
1 flighted. Planters that were bouyant with
hope are now despondent. Fields but a
few day/ago clothed with luxuriant foli
age and fruit, are now fields of leafless and
withering stems, retaining only the bottom
crop and the most advanced portion of the
middle crop.

We had the pleasure tor several weeks
past of daily, and almost hourly, social in
tercourse with our friend, B. F. Wardlaw,
of Madison, Fla., who has been on a visit
to his friends and relatives of this place.
He is gone now,' and we miss him. We
would gladly have kept him, but we could
not restrain him; the attractions at home
were too great—our inducements too lim
ited. We hope while we are regretting
his absence others qre rejoicing in his pres
ence; While to us his merry laugh is
i hushed, we hope hit) genial smile will be as
I refreshing to some sad heart as the kiss of
the dews of evening are to the drooping
plant.
We think we speak the sentiments of
the whole community when we express the
hope that his visits may be more frequent
in the future than thay have been in the
past We havn’t bad a good, soul-stirring
laugh since Tuesday; nwr have we heard
one, and if the question was asked, “why
not?” the response would be from many,
“Ben is gooe.” ~ -
Dr. J. X. K. Snow.
We call attention to the cart! and also
the advertisement of Dr. Snow, in this
issue. The Doctor's communication shows
his intentions in reference to his locating
in our town, and how ho has been misrep
resented with regard to his removal; but
we think he deals rather gently with one
who issuffieiently contemptible to originate
such a report, The Doctor is a genial gen
tleman, practices his profession, with
which he is certainly familiar, upon the
principles of professional honor, soaring
above eontemptibilities, not doubting his
ability to contend with honorable competi
tors, conscious of his professional capacity
to render complete satisfaction to his
patrons. He has been engaged in his pro
fession for thirteen years, a time sufficient,
with the constant practice he has always
enjoyed, to render him competent. With
the people where lie is known he stands
high in his profession. Tho Doctor was a
faithful soldier from the beginning to the
end of the late war; undto all such we, and
we believe our readers are, warmly at
tached, and feel inclined to patronize. As
a dental surgeon we take pleasure in re
commending the Doctor to our patrons,
and hope they will call on him.

,Wv Call Attention
To the cold of Mr. C. M. Brown, in
another column, with Weillcr A Bro., of
Baltimore. Mr. Brown is well known in
this town, and enjoys the confidence of
those with whom he has done business.
He was raised in the South, and was one
of the first to enter the Confederate army,
and one of the last to lay down his arms
when the cause was lost. He is now doing
business for a Southern house that offers
equal, if not superior inducements to any
Northern house. Then why is it, with
one of our own boys representing a South
ern house, a firm in every respect identi
fied with Southern institutions und South
ern interest, that our merchants try to
deal with the cold blooded Northerner,
that feels no interest in our welfare except
to pluck us of our little guins ? Why not
deal among ourselves and help and encour
age each other to build up and to advance
the interest of our own section ? We hope
Mr. Brow n w ill receive many calls from
our merchant readers

it is unnecessary. The. three long-raved

If they will but act honorably one time in
their life, and publish what they have to
say over tin l'r ow n signatures, even though
it be ot a personal nature, wo will subor

through The Independent, lmt in eircu

of them, from his birth in a dirty lane iu

Editor Independent:
Permit me, through the medium ot your
paper, to say a few words in reference to
the anonymous letter sent me with the re
quest that I hand it to you or Mr. Brown.
Why the base and contemptible poltroons
sought to make me a medium through
which to convey his or their low-flung
billingsgate I know not, unless it was be
cause I was your friend, and therefore
wanted to offend me and have me guess
who the cowardly villains are. It is evi
dently one or all of the parties you have
referred to in your recent withering ex
pose of Villains, as none others could feel,
or would be willing to take any interest in
the matter. I handed you the letter after
consulting two or three of your warm
friends in reference to the propriety of so
doing, all of whom agreed that you would
know how to deal with it. Of course,
your judgment, like all right-thinking
men, is that the parties who wrote it, or
arc capable of such an act, are capable of
all other acts of cowardice, such as assas
sination, burglary, arson, theft, extortion,
perjury, and everything within the cata
logue of crimes. I have noticed carefully
all of your articles, and not in a single in
stance have you stooped to the cowardly
business of attacking private characters
through your paper, but you have confined
yourself to official and political acts, gener
ously tendering the columns of your pa
per to those whose public acts you had
criticised to make explanations. They
have never availed themselves of your of
fer, nor have they attempted it through
any other medium, to my knowledge, ex
cept by their contemptible letter directed
| to me, as above stated, in which they pro
! pound questions to you and Mr. Brown,
in reference to your past history The
cowardly author of the letter to you and
the note to myself, if ever satisfactorily
discovered by me, may rest fully assured
that I will cowhide him on tho streets. I
was fully apprised on the night previous
to the receipt of the letter that it was
dropped and ready for me. lam fully
aware that when I presented the letter to
you, and while we were commenting upon
it, that we were evesdropped.
I am, sir, your friend,
Chas. T. Jackson.
The fluster Cot toil.
Mr. J. D. Wade, of this county, brought
us a limb of cotton of the Dixon Cluster
variety, with eighteen forms; some were
bolls, almost matured. With reference to
this particular variety of cotton we have
this to say, not with the view to its dis
paragement, but that planters may not be
deceived in purchasing the seed w ith the
hope of raising the cluster variety exclu
sively, and we give Mr. Wade’s experi
ence, and vouch for his reliability. He
obtained from Mr. John Tilmau, Mr.
Dixon’s agent for the sale of the cluster
seed, two stalks that had been sent, to him
as an advertisement of that particular va
riety. Mr. Wade planted tho seeds en
tirely to themselves, removed from contact
with any other variety, and from the en
tire number of seeds there are but two
stalks of the original variety, all the other
stalks resembling iu every particular the
ordinary varieties. AVlty this is so is a
problem we leave for practical farmers to
solvo.

Editor Independent:
Sir —Allow me through the columns of
your widely extended paper to state that
when I came to Quitman it was for the
purpose of locating permanently to prac
tice my profession. Dttviug my absence
in May and June it was reported, and cur
rently circulated, that, it was my intention
to remove from this place. I am incapa
We of impugning the motives of any pier
son; tint I am unable to determine how,
with pure motives, such a report originat
ed; for I had never intimated such an in
tention to any one. I now state that lam
pleased with the citizens, delighted with
the situation, and highly encouraged with
my prospects, and am as fully determined
now to remain, as I was to remove to this
place, and will bo happiy to meet my
friends and all who desire, or have need
for my profession, in my office, in Finch’s
block, corner Scriven and Mabbett streets,
where they may rest assured that all den
tal operations will be performed with the
highest skill of the profession at the most
reasonable prices.
Respectfully,

Help Each Other,
Quitman, Ga., August —, 1873,
Editor Independent:
Deep down in tho human heart there
lives a natural idea which every man
should foster, until, from the germ, will
spiring into life a noble instinct, that God
will bless; and this noblest of all attrib
utes is, “lielpi each other. ” It should be
written on every heart, and stamped on
every memory by actual deeds of “helping
each other.” It should be the golden
rule, piraotioed not in every home, but
throughout the world. O! how many
thorns might wo remove from the path
way of each other! How much anxiety of
mind could we alleviate! and wliut a
tluilling sense of pleasure our own hearts
would feel, if wo would only exercise the
innate germ of sometimes doing “each
other” a deed of kindness! if it be only n
pleasant smile, or an encouraging word.
Neither can be a loss to you; yet what in
estimable sweetness of appreciation it con
veys to the heart, surcharged, perhaps,
with pent-up grief. How soothing, when
perplexed with some weighty task, does
the cheerful voice of encouragement sound
as it truth felly whispers: “Do not be dis
couraged. I see you are troubled. Let
mo help you.” O! how quickly the “troub
led waters” are stilled. How like the dews
bofore the sunshine disappear the, hitherto
seemingly insurmountable obstacles; and
how buoyantly does hope spring, like a
blessing in the heart, fresh from tho hands
of Him who created us! But draw the
contrast between “helping each other”
and that most despicable of habits of
‘'Dooming tho heart with rare oppressed,
To glanders darkest, vilest curse.’’
What is necessarily tho verdict? It would
be no unfit comparison to say: The first is
Heaven’s dictates; the last, the “vilest,
darkest curse” of hell—the first a sure pro
totype of the nobleness of man—the lat
ter a certain delineation of those charac
teristics that arise from a heart whose de
pravity the angels of darkness would
blush to own. A morally brave man never
dooms another to unheard judgment. He
never whispers mean and malicious inuen
does behind his back. No, it is left for the
vile and depraved to commit the act of
overt oppression that in after years will be
visited on his own ignoble life. Then, me
thinks, our contrast is amply proven, and
would to God I could write it on each hu
man heart in letters of undying stability—
“help each other!” Would that it lay in
my power to blot from every soul the
“vilest, darkest curse” of slander.
Then let us, by our encouragement and
good example, try to strengthen tho weak
and oppressed. Let us try and lift the
burden of care from tbe weary, that life’s
journey may be one of pleasure; that the
fountain of bitterness may be dried up,
and iu its stead there may burst forth ovei
our land a fountain of sweets, whose deli
cious waters will “heal the heart op
pressed;” and man’s “good word'’ to his
fellow man will receive the “well done”
of Him “whose willing hand is ever ready
to aid us, and who will reward our hum
ble endeavors, and every good deed
be as bread cast upon the waters to return
after many days, ”if not to us, to those
we love. Crush in your hearts every
vile insinuation against your fellow-man.
Let the devil-born, and devif-nursed vitu
perations you would cast on an inoffensive
human creature be turned in to other
words of more gentle meaning, and soon
our world will bloofti with fresh flowers of
happiness, nursed by the never failing in
centive of “help each other,” and from
each hill top will echo the refrain, until its
reverberating sound will reach Heaven’s
shore, and God’s angels will sing alould:
“Help each other.” LirriNCorr.
How to Cure a Cold.—lf a cold settles
on the outer coverings of the lungs it be
comes pneumonia, inflammation of the
lungs or lung fever, and ill many oases
carries off the strongest man to the grave
within a week. If oold falls on the inner
covering of the lungs it is pleurisy, with its
kuife-like pains and its slow, very slow re
coveries. If a cold settles in the joints
there is rheumatism of the heart, which, in
an instant, sometimes, snaps asunder the
cords of life with no friendly warning. It
is of the utmost practical importance, then,
in the wintry weather, to know not so
much, how to cure a cold as to avoid it.
Cold always comes from one cause
some part of the body being colder than
natural for a time. If a person will keep
his feet warm always, and never allow
himself or herself to be chiled, ho or she
will never bike aeold ill a life-time; and this
can only be accomplished by due care in
warm clothing and avoidance of drafts and
exposure. While multitudes of colds come
from cold feot piorhaps tho majority arise
from cooling off too quickly after be
coming a little warmer than is natural, from
exercise or work, or from confinement to a
warm apartment.
New York city is making a very poor
showing under Mayor Havemeyer and the
reform government. The aldermen and
heads of departments are at logger-heads,
and the Mayor has made several very dis
creditable appointments. Again there are
many of the old allies of Tammany holding
offices in the various bureaus, and these are
secretly at work to make the present regime
a failure. It is surmised that. Boss Tweed
still exerts a great influence in New York
polities.
