THE AGRICULTURAL BUREAU. “Hon- Lon Livingston says, in conver¬ I sation with a Constitution reporter, that ! the Agricultural B ireau of Georgia is not only sustaining, but pays $ 4 °, 000 into the State treasury—dividend from ! the, inspection of fertilizers above the | cost of running the Bureau. We would like to ask the Senator who actually pays ; these inspection fees? Do not the man- ! ufacturers of fertiliz rs count in inspec tionfees as a part of the cost of produc tionand placing their goods on the mar ket? Certainly they do; therefore, the 54oooo that goes into the treasury tc educate the negroes, and $20,000 that goes to keep up Jack Henderson, his Unfold and the dodgasted Bureau, are "umg out of nobody but the tax ridden farmers. And they receive no benefit, We have talked with over twenty of our farmers and not one says he has ever been benefitted by it. We now ask all of our farmers who have been benefit > hv this great Bureau to report us in what way and how much.” The above short editorial appeared in this paper July the 27th. In the Con etitution of the 7th inat. we notice a letter from Conyers signed by Mr. Tuck er-Swann and others in which says, ‘Ai it has bee« copied in several other Papers and conveys an erroneous impres **00reflecting the upon the intelligence of farms of our county, we ask that you publish the following reply.’’ Again they say that they have been' benefitted in various ways by the department and are unwilling to be misrepresented by toe Weekly “ «’« ^ lot believe the above tetter gotten up at the instance of a certain at,scrupulous politician, a State Senator we would not notice it, but we do believe PI he « its originator, and shall dea, "Rh it accordingly, iu the first ^ whole tener is false from begining to end. We de:y any man to show one word iu our editorial reflecting in the Obtest manner upon the intelligence «f our farmers. It can’t be done, and ffie attempt to prejudice the minds of { he farmers against us by such boldfaced, natl ‘ ue suteiaejits, is beneath the ty of any gentleman. We bam eyer worked for the interest of our farmers faithfully and well, and the man who testifies that we have ever knowingly misrepresented them or threir interests at any time or in any manner testifies to what is not true. How h>'ve we mis represented the gentlemen who sign the letter. Have we ever stated that they said they had not been benefitted? we said we had talked with over twenty o’ our farmers who say they ha^e not been benefitted, and it is true- We cm get the Tnafnes of 500 in neccessary. We now ask these gentlemen did we ever as ^ either of you about the matter? n< one of you can say that we did. We asr you through our editorial to report to us if you had been benefitted. Did you do it? No!- Y ou sent your answer to the Atlanta Constitution unjustly condemn ing us for the purpose of assisting one or two mean politicians. The whole matter is two trauspar ent to gu 1 many people. Whv did you not report <o ns? Why say we had reflected upon the intelli genee of our farmers and misrepresented you when no word reflecting npon them was used and your names did notap pear in our paper? Surely yon do not set yourselves up as the entire farn ing force of this county. It reminds us more of the circulars of a certain Island Shoals merchant than any thing else— ggjf persecution to get sympathy. Now a few words as to the benefits they have received. What are they? a manual on the hog, sheep, chicken, analysis of soil ( es f, crop reports Ac. Now we want to know what in the name of goodness they have received in tbe way of benefits from the manual on the hog? How many hogs do you sup pose these gentlemen have? Sure'y not enough to authorize the ereetion of a Bureau at a cost of over $23,000 to issue manuals, directing his cultivation. We would like <o know how many more hogs these gentlemen have raised siuce-l they received these valuable manuals and how much larger they are? And they have also been ‘ ben efltted by a manual on the sheep! How much? Is there any man of the signers who owns 20 sheep? Is there 100 sheep owned by the whole number, 38, of the signers? Don’t they own as many dogs as they do sheep? We venture the as sertion that they do and belie re the facts will susta n us, Surely then the manual on the sheep is sufficient cause for a $25,000 Bureau? As to the manual* on chickens and the crop reports they are all bosh. They do not increase the yield of either nor raise one cent the price. They say‘‘through the inspection of fertilizers, even admitting that we pay the fees for inspection, we teel that we get many dollars worth of protection for every dollar we pay out. We do not believe this true The ma¬ jority of onr frrmers do not believe it true, for theyjsay that they got beltei _-u ano before the inspection was forced than they do now, for then it sold npon ,ts merits, but now it is sold on the gr iund of having been inspected one pint «ut of a cargo! Even if the inspec¬ tion did give ttem benefit, is it necessary to pay $23 000 for a Bureau to have it done? Can it be inspected without it? Certainly it can. It seems that a child might see through this thing. The charge has been made that we have misrepresented our farmers and that we h ive reflected upon their intefii gence. We say it is false and give be h>w the names of good farmers who say they have not been misrepresented and the most of whom say farther that they believe the Agricultural Bu.eauto be an imposition upon 1 he farmers. Had we time to see them we could get the names of 500 farmers, and we know that if the quettion was left to our farmers they would wipe out the Agricultural , . , , Bureau „ stitution *D’ ° 1 ' to .

Mr. Demps Ray, of Atlanta, was in our city last week. Mr. Ray was once a cit¬ izen of our town and is now engaged in a large lumber, contracting and house furnishing business in Atlanta, "hen our people need anything in this litre they should patronize him, for he is a gentleman of high standing a id strictly reliable in ah of his dealings, The appearace of a ripe peach upon our streets, the other day, sound and uninhabited, created quite a sensation. The peach crop is n. ’c. More building is going on in our coun ty now than we have ever known before at any time. Court commences Monday week. ( Mr. R. A.
