Agricultural C’onveutioir,
I’-he State Agricultural Con veil
'ttiih assembled in the city of Rome
on the Bth instant. It was, per
haps, the largest agricultural con
vention ever convened in the
State—three-fourths of the coun
ties and all the clubs of the M'He
were represented. ItAprVtsCnt.V
tives front the Scal‘d Siteteries of
South Carolina Ail'd Florida were
also prtifeiA. It w-#ts a fine looking
body of tafftir, and included some
’Of first tfilPnt of the State. —
.Vfnong the distinguished gentle
men present, we noticed Hon. J.
E. Brown, Gen. A. It. Wright, i no.
B. Gordon, Judge William Scldoy,
Judge David A. V a son, Gen. Win.
M. 11 dwue, editor Farm & Home,
the venerable Maik A. Cooper,
who, We nnderstand, was Presi
dent <>f the first agricultural soci
ety of the Stab', C. W. Howard,
editor of the Plantation, Hon. W
P. Price, Gen. Young ami Hon. B.
C. Yancey.
At 3 p. m., (!cn. A. 11. Colquitt,
the President, called the Conven
tion to order, and opened its de
liberations with one of the most
sensible and practicable addresses
w hich it has ever been our good
fortune to hear, lie is emnently
a practical man, fully alive to the
gnat interest of the State, and
laboring zealou.-ly to develop her
agricultural and material resour
ces. He is a plain, unassuming
man, an earnest and impressive
speaker, and makes an excellent
presiding officer, combining a suav
ity of manner which renders him
accessible to all, and a decision of
character which enables him to
determine, without hesitation, any
point raised before him. There is
no man whom we would more
cheerfully support for the next
Governor of Georgia than General
Colquitt.
lie sought to demonstrate that
there was no avocation in which
success was more certain than in
tilling the soil—none so use 1 til or
important. Trade and commerce
were hazardous, but with energy
anil a proper system of culture,
the farmer was bound to be suc
cessful. He urged the importance
of the farmer devoting himself ex
clusively to his farm, reducing the
acreage planted, making home
more attractive, and banishing the
idea of abandoning the cultiva
tion oF the soil for any other pur
suit. The want of success gener
ally results from want of faith in
our ability to succeed.
lion Samuel Balnett, who had
been appointed at the February
session, a missionary to the sev
eral county societies, made a re
port showing the practical Work
ings of the societies, the adapta
tion of the different sections of the
State to different crops, and the
comparative improvement in cul
tivation.
Judgo Schley delivered an ud
(lrons itpou the comparative value
or commercial and home-made fer
tilizers. This subject has for some
time engaged the attention of the
farming community, and it was
discussed with great earnestness
—the disputants seeming to be
about as far apart at the close as
at the beginning of the discus
sion. It was disclosed in the course
of the debate Iliac there was an
enormous cheat practiced upon the
planters in a great many of the
worthless compounds palmed off
upon the people.
The great and absorbing ques
tion w hich appeared to swallow up
nil others ill interest and feeling,
was, where shall the .Agricultural
College be located? Congress, in
1862, passed an act giving to each
State thirty thousand dollars for
cadi Representative, in land script,
which might, like a land warrant,
be 1 cated upon the public lands,
as permanent endowment for an
agricultural college. No part of
fbia fund was to be used for build
ing? or repairs, but it was a Con
ditiou precedent tn receiving the
fund, tha tVe Utato should make
ample provisjou tu the way of
buildings, etc, When these lands
are sold, tlie money arising from
tile salt is to be invested in State
O.r United States securities, dravr
'tig not less than five per cent, in
terest. By tin act passed after
the Wat', the provisions of this act
were extended to the Southern
States, and they were allowed fiie
years within which to accept and
comply with its provisions. This
is the last year, and the Legisla
ture is expected, at its next ses
sion-* to make provision for the
State ‘'Complying with the require
ments of the law.
It was presumed that that body
w onld be influenced, to some ex
tent, by the recommendation of
the Agricultural Convention of
the State, and hence the anxiety
manifested by the representatives
of different localities, to secure
that recommendation. Millodge
ville put in her claims—her loca
tion was central; the State alrea
dy owned two fine buildings there
—the Capitol and Executive Man- j
sion—uliicli were now almost en-j
tirely worthless to the State, since
the Capitol had been removed to
Atlanta. It would save an im
mouse outlay, of money, for at
any other point an appropriation
would have to be made to provide
the necessary buildings. In addi
tion to this, that ancient city
thought she had some claims upon '
the pe pie of Georgia. Her citi- j
zens had, upon the understanding j
that the Capitol would remain i
there, expended their money in the j
purchase and improvement of real ;
estate, when, suddenly, that per- j
verse convention of Georgia, not j
having the fear of the Recorder '
and the good citizens of that city,
before their eyes, had, with “ mal
ice aforethought,” removed it to
“ Kimball’s Opera House.”
The State University was well
represented by some of her alumni,
one or two of the professors and a
number of the citizens of Athens.
They seemed to be satisfied that
the Agricultural College could not
be a snccess unless it was attach
ed to the University. That the
State must sustain her favorite
chilil, and having an institution
already in successful operation,
| whose curriculum embraced many
1 of the students which wotdd have
to be taught in an agricultural
' college, hut little additional ex
pense would be necessary.
Our enterprising little town of
Dahloncga did not intend to let
her claims be overlooked. She was
well represented by Col. Price,
M. C., Col. Boyd, and Dr. Van
Dyke, She, too, had a fine build
ing—the old United States Mint
well adapted to the waists of an
agricultural college—pure moun
tain air, good water, fine scenery
and cheap living. There is one
objection to Dahlonegu, however.
It is subject to an epidemic, which
is said to be incurable, and, as it
attacks in a violent form, old citi
zena who are acclimated, we fear
it might prove fa'al to young men
who expect to follow agricultural
pursuits. W# do not know its
technical name—or whether it is
derived from the Greek, Latin or
Saxon language—it is known in
this section as the congressional ep
idemic.
Atlanta, with Iter accustomed
modesty, was not very boisterous
in presenting her claims She is
holding back her trump cards un
til the Legislature meets, and then
she’ll make the fur fly.
There w as a strong party in the
Convention in favor of dividing
the fund betwee* the seven con
gressional districts of the State,
and allowing each district to build
a college to suit its owu taste.—
We cannot give this proposition
our endorsement. One college,
properly endowed, and having at
tached to it an experimental farm,
where practical, as well as theo
retical instructions can be given,
will be of infinitely more service to
the State than a dozen colleges,
with incompetent professors, no
labratory and a totally inadequate
endowment.
Finding so much diversity of opin
ion in the convention, it was at list
agreed to refer the whole matter to
tha Executive Committee, with direc
tions lo memorialize the Legislature,
to take such action ns the Committee
believed would best subserve the in
terest of the Stale.

August 14j 1.871. (
Mr. Editor : By direction of the
Comity Board of Education of
this (Gwinnett) county, at its reg
! ular meeting on the first Tuesday
in this month, 1 hand you the fol
lowing letter of the State School
Commissioner, on the subject ot
Common Schools, with a request
th at you publish the same, for the
information of all who may be
interested .
Atlanta, Ga., July 21, 1871.
Hon.
County School Commissioner:
Dkap. Sir —Yolirs of the 19th
instant is received. On the 3d of
June I gave you a short and con
cise statement of the amount of
State School Fond to be distributed
this fall. To make the matter
more plain, I will say that on the
first <lay of April, 1871, the Comp
troller-General reported to me that
there had been paid in, and was
standing to the credit of the State
School Fluid, $282,000, which did
not include the poll tax of 1870
and some few accounts of 1868
and 1869, which would increase
the amount several thousand dol
lars. To that amount may be
added the taxes from the various
sources sot aside for school pur
poses, which may l>c paid in up
to the first of November, and also
one-half the net profits of the
State Road up to November 1,
(ten months,) which would be
$125,000 —in all amounting to be
tween four hundred and four hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.—
Of cou se the money is not in the
treasury, for it was authorized to
be used for other purposes by act
approved July 28, 1870; but, in
accordance with said act, there
have been deposited in the treasu
ry seven per cent, bonds of the
State to secure the fund, and which
bonds are required to be sold by
the Governor to replace the money j
when needed for distribution. I j
have no fear but that the money j
will be ready when wanted. The
only trouble is the small amount
of the fund, which ought to have
been supplemented largely by
local t axes levied in each county.
I have no doubt the scholastic
population (children from 6 to
21) will bo about 490,000; so
that the State Fund will bo only
a little more than one dollar for
each child of school age. But as
it will be impossible for all to at
tend school—the school age in
cluding a broad limit—the money
can he used in each sub-district
fur the pupils who can attend
school Now, ldo not believe
; that the average attendance will
much exceed 50 per cent, of the
i whole number. At. that rate the
State Fund will furnish two dollars
| for each pupil in attendance.—
[ Now, if no local tax is levied, you
j will need more money from some
source to maintain the most of the
, white schools for three months.
Many counties will pursue this
plan; The trustees will contract
j with the teacher for three months,
jat a specified salary, agreeing,
j however, in the contract, to pay
only so much of said salary from
State 1 und, as they may have for
j the purpose, and the balance by
j subscriptions of the patrons of
| the school. Then, before the
; school commences, the patrons
i who are’ able, subscribe to pay
each his pro rata share of whatever
; deficiency there may be in tiro
I State Fund. For instance, a sub
district has 100 white children
I from G to 21, and therefore will,
probably, receive SIOO of State
i Fund; the trustees contract with
! the teacher for three mouths at
SSO per month; the State Fund
j pays for two months and the pat
i rons subscribing pay for one
; month—if there should be tweuty
, five of them it would cost each an
average of $2 for three months
1 school. Now, by this plan, the
i trustees arc safe, as they only
| agree to pay what they have re
j ocived; the teacher is secured for
i his salary—part from the trustees
and part from patrons, who would
have to pay him all of his salary
if it were a tuition or private
j school—and the patrons are cer-
I tainly relieved of a part of the
j burden, whatever the State aid
may bo, and the school is made
free to all for three months—thus
| complying with the law, bene
fittiug the whole community and
; entitling the sub district to its pro
rata share of School Fund next
year.
The interest in the common
school system is growing largely,
and 1 have no fear but the Legis
, lature next session will amend the
law and make it stronger ami
: 1 rotter, r.very county in the State
I is now Organized but seven, and
I four of these seven soon will be.
jln 75 counties reporting, there
will be 1,824 schools if teaehers
can be procured.
Push on the work I Give us
three months’ free school, by some
means, in ever}' sub district of
your county. The experiment will
be valuable to you, and from it
We shall all learn something.
I am, vours respectfully,
J. li. LEWIS,
State School Commissioner.
From the foregoing, it will be
seen that our county is largely in
terested in this matter, not only
as to the question of education,
but as tax-payers and patrons of
schools. We have a large num
ber of children, both white and
colored, who are entitled to a share
in the common school fund. From
the Tax Receiver’s books of the
present year, and other data, we
see there are about 2,800, to say
nothing of the orphans without
guardians, and the children of
widows who made no return to
said Receiver, which, we can safe
ly venture to say, will swell the
number over 3,000. If the trus
tees will go to work and get up
schools in each of their sub-dis
tricts and have all the children
taught, how much money will lx:
saved to the tax-paying patrons
of schools, and brought into the
county from the school fund of
the State ? By the foregoing es
timate of Commissioner Lewis,
you will see that two dol ars for
each youth taught will probably
be paid. Then, if 3,000 arc so
sent to school, will not there be
SO,OOO brought into the county,
which will, of necessity, soon go
into a general circulation ? This
amount is greatly more than the
county has to pay to the Stale for
taxes.
If the cause of education is not
of itself a sufficient inducement
to stimulate our people, then is
not the pecuniary consideration.
This is an important matter, and
should not he left alone to the
trustees of the sub-district anil
county board (for they get no
compensation for trouble and ser
vices). But every citizen should
come up and join in the common
cause, and assist in the objects of
education; for we know a well
regulated government is composed
of intelligent subjects—that Chris
tianity goes “ hand in hand ” with
knowledge, and that science de
velops the resources of our coun
try; therefore, should n t all feel
interested?
Pardon, Mr. Editor, the trespass
on your columns.

Horrible Deed.—Yesterday mor
i "ing, Win. W Mitchell, a white boy,
thirteen years of age, whose parents
live at the corner of Market and
Meeting streets, was sitting on Mar
ket wharf, when three colored boys
came along. One of the three,
Ashley, said to him, as lie took hold
of his foot, “ I’ve a good mind to cut
it ot}’.” William Grant, another of
the number, stepped up and said, “I
will cut it off,” at the same moment
taking a knife which was handed to
I.im by the third hey, and with it
giving the white boy a slash on (lie
ankle just above the instep, which
severed the sinews and flesh to the
bone, making a cut several inches
I long.
The black fiends then ran away
j laughing. The little white fellow
cried for help, as his foot dripped
1 blood, and was assisted to Dr. Yates’
i office; where the wound—a severe
one, which may cause permanent
lameness—was sewed up and ban
j daged.
A warrant was taken out in the
trial Justice Schroder’s office, and
two of the villains, Ashley and Grant,
arrested and committed for trial. The
I other scoundrel is still at large, and
. it is hoped that lie will be overtaken
\ and made to suffer for the part lie
| bore in the cruel deed.— Charleston
