ROUNDABOUT IN GEORGIA.
-IjGnmge Reporter; It is not too late
for a nomination in this district. There
ought to be one by all mean*. The democ
racy may loae the district this time, and if
*??. when can they regain it again? This
district is the subject of censure by the
whole state, and deservedly so. Our con
duct, as a party, has been shabby in the ??-
treme. We suggest that a primary election be
held Wednesday, the 23*1 iust.; that the re
turns from each county to is* carried to
W??wt Point, by the chairman of each county
eiecntite com m it tee, or some jsr-on desig

the |??emoii receiving the highest vote be the
nominee. What say the jm|??er* <??f tl??e dis

In tlieir early life, colts should be fed

Manure tngti every crop tliat b benetitted
by it.
Provide p??*xl storage and shelter for

Drain and irrigate. Plow deep and loosen
the sub-soil.
ked wheat bran is less laxative f??

ruhiTate good i??ying crop* and select the
best seed for these.
Pure air and good water are of great
ortance to young animals.
Ground com and oats, and chopjs.nl straw

The best way to cure sowed com, is

Wheat does not require heavy manuring,
but what it does have it wants very near the
urface.
Salt the sheep on the barren s}>ots of the
farm, and they will drop the best fertilizer
just where it u most needed.
Heavy, close, clayey soils do not suit bulbs.
They thrive best in a soil where there i
proportion of sand.
Sheep manure is more fertilizing in
nature than that of any other animal, nor
a** it waste by exposure.
THE GARDEN.
We are now having nice weather for such
vegetables as are growing. The soil about
voung cabbages, beets, turnips and Irish po
tatoes, should be kept loose and well fertil
ized.
Celery for late fall, should be earthed
pretty soon and looked after.
Now is a p**d time to thoroughly break
up all the bed* on which nothing is growing.
Throw up the beds rough, with the plow
ipwde. and let them be exposed to the i
Jon of the frosts this winter. If manure
to be supplied, put it on now. and work
under, and in the spring, at seeding time,
some fine compost can be added. In work
ing up the garden, the clay should not be
brought to the surface, but it may lie covero
ed bv subsoiling or by trenching with good
effect. Deep tillage and manure pay well
in garden soils, and now is the ume to begin
the work for next year???s growth.
DOES NOT WENT REST.
Many of our farmers have quite an idea
in regard to resting their lands. That are
other and better ways to bring up land and
some of them have been given in former
numbers of The Constitction. J.
Mechi, the celebrated English fanner, **??
ful enough in securing this crop. Never di
your potatoes until tne weather is cool and
the land dry. It is best after they are dug
not to expose them to the sun or air longer
than isnsible. Frequently potatoes rot be
cause they are dug and put away too early.
Let your jiotaioes come out of tlie grouud
dry and put them away immediately. Han
dle them carefully, not breaking tlie skins.
After the potatoes are nut up, if there is a
tendency to rot, sprinkle a little dry air
slaked lime over them.
chickens and chicken cholera.
Most of tlie sickness of chickens is caused
. filth, neglect and want of prot??ercare
and attention. Wherever you find healthy
fowls vou will see that they are properly
attended to and provided for bv tlieir own
ers. A dirty pan or foul trougfi is not suit
able for them to drink from; a house filled
with lice is no place for them to roost in;
soddv, sour, wet dough is not suitable food
them. If you desire healthy chickens
e them pure, fresh water, a clean house
live in. and good food to eat. If you

away from manure piles and hog pens, and

There are reliable nurserymen in the *

into tlie hole is to dip them into muil ma??l??

mutilated roots smooth and renum * -

any manure iti contact with tlie root*.
Tread down the dirt finely when the hole is

r RESPECTABLE
A young gentleman with a big ring on his
finger, a fancy white neck-tie around his
throat and u neat little cane in his hand,
remarked to others standing with him at
the iKist-ollice yesterday, that fanning was
not resjiectable. Great minds will differ.
Washington thought it was. C???incinnatus
entertained tlie same opinion. Old (,???atn,
the Roman senator, was a fanner, and
estors regarded it a* a grand r
liamlry not to have too much lam
farm, for they considered that more benefit
came by holding little and tilling it well
Virgil entertained a high opinion of faniiin
and wa* correct when lie said: ???Tiie farmer
iy praise large estates, but let him culti
vate a small one.??? Curius, the Roman ora-
ator, thought well of farming, and thought
"he was not a good citizen who could n??
content himself with seven acres of land.
Baron Liebig says of farming: "Not mer
ly for its utility, but on account of the vet
nature of its pursuit, it stands above all o
cupation*. and it procures to the man who
understands the voice of nature, not only
all the advantages for which he strives, but
those pleasures which science alone
afford. There is no profession which, for its
successful practice, requires a larger amount
of knowledge than agriculture, and noi
liich.the actual ignorance is greater.???
William Cobhltt must have regarded
farming resjtectable. He says: ** He whi
vest* his lalsir in the faithful ground, is deal
ing directly with God; human fraud and
weakness doe.* not come lietween him
his reward. No man has a set of customers

In former issues of The Constitution -
have written at length as to the sowing
wheat. The land should lie thoroughly pre
pared. Before sowing, soak the seed
twelve hours in a strong solution of blue-
>und of bluestone to
bushels ????f wheat. Winter wheat requires
less seed to the acre than spring wheat,
having longer to grow, and it make* heaviri
ana better gram. Early seeded wheat will
have strong roots before severe weatlier and
it is less liable to rust.
HOGB.
We advise that the fattening of hogs
be pushed, they will take on fat faster than
when the weather grows cold, and will be
ready for killing say about the middle of
November, which is a good time. When.
they are (tenned. the pens should be ken
dry and comfortable, in fact if jiossible. a-
not let them sleep where they are f '
their sleeping place with leaves
casionallv removing such litter, and put
fresh. Have charcoal and ashes and liuie
within the reach of the liogs. and when fi

health. On some farm* there is much that

MANURE MAKING.
Whenever there is nothing else to do
the farm, devote the time to gathering n
terial for making manure. On every farm
there is a good deal of organic material that
should be added to tlie comport pile. At _
slight expense, and with but little labor and
time, the mature heap can be largely
creased. There are many rich spots in the
wood*, lank* of muck in the fence corners
of low lands; there are piles of straw

A DOG LAW.

LETTER FROM HON. H. R. HARRIS.
Bis Position on Financial Question*.
RKENVILLK, Ga., October 9, 1878.???N. G.
Edge, Esq., Scnoia, Ga.???Dear Sir: Your re
cent letter is just to hand, and 1 hasten to
reply.
1 am astonished that any one should mis
understand my position upon the financial
any other question of sjiecial interest
w engaging the public mind, or which
1ms been the subject of congressional legis-
'???tion and discussion during my service in
???tigrex*. My votes and sj??eeel*ies are and
have been all the while o|??eii to the ins)>ec-
tion of every one. As early a* eighteen
hundred and seventy-six 1 publicly advocu-
;i the floor of the house tlie making
greenbacks a full legal tender for tin*
payment of all debts. On the 20th of June.
1878, 1 voted for the hill to authorize the
payment of custom dues in grcctdiacks at
. On tlie 23d of November, 1877,1 voted
the re(K*ul of the act known a* the re
sumption act. On the 28th of February,
1878, 1 voted for the act to remonetize tfic
tandard silver dollar, to remove all restric-
ions a* to its coinage and to restore its
full legal tender character. On the 22d of
April, 1878. 1 voted for the bill to supply a
convenient currency, with which the minor
business transaction* of the country mav la-
done. This was known a* the hill to author
ize the issue of fractional currency, and,
should it become a law, would practically
increase the volume of currency $10,000,006.
On the 29tli of April, 1878, I voted for the
act suspending the retirement of green backs,
providing in the act for which I voted, that
any legal tender notes, that may Ik* re
deemed or received into the treasury under
. law, from any source whatever, and be
long to the United States, shall not lx* re
tired, cancelled or destroyed, but they shall
be reissued, and (aid out again and kept '
circulation. On the 19th of June, I848,
voted for the ???bill to retire the circulating
notes and other purposes," usuaally known
as the act to repeul ???the uatioiml bank
law." This bill provides for the substitu-
in circulation of greenbacks for the
mal bank currency, and positively for
bids the issuance of national bank notes *-
the future.
During the time, when in co-operation
ith other democrats and green I lackers in
congress, I was pressing these and kindred
measures of relief to the overtaxed and op
pressed-people of the country. 1 gave utter-
nee to my views on these subjects in lan
guage of no uncertain sound.
Thus in my speech of tlie 3d of May,
0, on our ??? industries as they relate to
finance,??? I said: ???So long as wc are a debtor
nation our greenback currency rests upon a
surer and more available basis than gold."
Again in the same sjx-ech I said: ???By
making our greenbacks a full legal
tender, we will at once remove all
distrust from tlie minds of the people,
etc." Again, on the 9th of May, 1878, I
said: ???The people's money (greenbacks)
has been withdrawn, and hankers' money
???laced in its stead, and as a consequence
i??f interest which the (teople are
forced to jav for money necessary to carry

their business, has exceeded their prof

to bankruptcy, while capitalists themselves
have steadily grown richer and richer by
the operation.??? Again I said: .???At the
close of the war there was $710,000,000
greenback* and fractional currency in *
dilation, but through the connivance and
dictation of the capitalists and lMindholders
the policy of the government ha* destroyed
more than half of this amount, and other
currency in the form of bank notes has
been substituted for it.??? In that same speech
I presented a carefully prepared exhibit of
the failure* in business und denounced the
whole system of legislation tliat had resulted
in the contraction of the greenback currency
and produced so much ruin. Thus stands
my record and my speeches, embracing al
most even* phase of the great financial ques
tions of the day, to be ???known and read of
all men.??? Now, in view of these facts, it
but just to say that lie who misrepresents
me is either ignorant of tlie truth, and is
therefore not a safe instructor, or he wil
fully nii.srei>ci??ent.s me, and therefore noten
title to credence. In addition to what 1 hav
already stated. I will say that I am in favo
of the (ayiuent of all the bonds and dues <1
the federal government, in accordance witl
tlie original contract of the (arties thcret?? .
which, of course, includes the currency
stipulated in the act* authorizing their is
suance, and thus contemplated as the me
dium of (ayment. I am omMised to any in
crease of the debt of tlie*United States and
further purchase of coin for resumption
purjxises, and that 1 favor tlie extinction of
the public debt by the use of any and every
prudent means. My votes and speeches
show that I am, ana ever have been oj>-
posed to the national bank svstem, and
that I have been doing all in my
power to relieve the |??eople
of its injustice and oppression. This
I will continue to do so long as the people
see proper to honor me its their representa
tive. The currency ha* been far too greatly
contracted. More money is needed in the
business transactions of the country. The
volume of the currency should be brought

Mr. llill a Reply.
Atlanta, Ga??? October 9th, 1878.
Gentlemen: 1 have received your letter
urging me to make a speech at Uartiesville
ou an early day, in ???l*ehalf of the organized
democracy??? of tlie 9th congressional dis
trict.
iu receiving many letters from differ
ent counties in the district, asking like ser-
ice from me. 1 will therefore, hand this
letterto the press, so that it will become
1 an-swer to all.
I admit the claim which nearly all these
letters make upon me, to-wit: that 1 have
right??? to refuse this appeal from
democracy of the 9th district.
And I say now, that 1 will never
refuse this or any other reasonable service
which they may require and which it sltall
* j in toy ]*ower to (lerform.
But private and professional engagement.*
of a character which 1 can neither (Misttxme
il occupy every day of mr
time until after the election, and, indeed,
until Det-ember.
nfes*. too. that 1 am not convinced
tliat 1 could accomplish any real good to the
democratic party by taking active part in
the present campaign in Georgia. The is
sues are largely of a (???ersonal character and
between democrats, and while I never shrink
from fighting enemies, 1 always shrink
from taking sides in a contest between
friends. Harmony must be restored, or the
party will be broken up into factions. I
ao not see that I can help restore harmonv
in the future by seeming to become a i??arti-
san of either faction. But I am not willing
that contending factious shall place me in a
false or doubtful position. I have distinct
convictions on the general issue, and on the
(Articular issue in the 9th district. These
convictions you are entitled to know, and
shall know.
In the first place, taking a general view,
let me say I cannot see how any party can
have a practical efficient existence without
organization. 1 am equally unable to
how any man can promote the success
of a party by fighting its organization. If.
through the art* of designing men, as is
often the case, evils spring up in the organ
ization, then the purification of the organi
zation, and not its destruction, is the onlv
proper or efficient remedy. 1 have there
fore always taken, and shall always take,
my place 111 the party and with the organi
zation. liide}iendeiice in the formation and
???pression ot opinions is the'duty of all,
id es(??ecittUy of public men and ???leader*.
> umii has asserted this inde(x-tidence
more fearlessly or more frequently than
myself. But it has never <xx-urreJ to me
tluit I could promote my opinions by fight
ing my party. On the contrary, 1 liave al
ways thought that the best way to promote
the success of correct opinions !* to do all 1
to bring the ((arty to them. In th!*a
man may sometimes suffer temporary per
sonal injury or even wrong, but 111 tlie end
i will be vindicated.
We hear tunch of ???ring men??? and ??????inde
pendents.??? The first denounce the latter
as ???traitors,??? and* the latter denounce the
first as ???shysten!??? and ???tricksters.??? But after
lat is the difference between ring 1
and inde(x-ndetits?
The ring man seeks to promote his (???ersonal
mis and ambition by getting artful control
of the party organization. The iudi-|H-ndciit
seeks to promote hi* (x-rsonal end* and am
bition by lighting the organizations. In
their motives and ends they an- precisely
the same, and ditler only in the means they
employ. Both are the children of that maui-
itli prolific parent of many evils and ever
growing corruptions???self-seeking. The only
real remedy for both these evils is that
hich was so familiar to our fathers, and
liich is so unfamiliar to us: that high
grcasional, judicial and executive positions
e (daces of service and repoiisibility, and
ust be ???neither sought nor declined.???
A true democrat is he who is willing to
sacrifice his (x-rsonal ends and ambition for
the success of his party, and which success
lie believes is the gixxl of the country. He
neither wires, nor beg* nor pushes liiiuself
into the high scats of res(Mmsibility. He
sticks to his (tarty, and waits to be* called
higher. He regards the offices a* places of
service, and not as occasions of pleasure or
profit, or for the gratification of (lersonal
vanity. In u word, he neither seeks these
high oflices nor declines them, if he is in
condition to discharge their duties.
In the second place, let us apply these
general views, which all must agree are
correct, to the political situation in your
congressional district.
J.k-1 A. Billups is the regular nominee of
the deimxratic partv. I know he neither
sought nor expected the nomination. All
contending wings of the organization most
honorably agreed to bury their differences
for the common iieace and good of the par
ty, and selected him as the representative
and symbol of tlieir noble and (??atrioiic
sacrifices. He is a good man. I liave knowr
him intimately for thirty-six years. 1 d<
not know a better man. nor one -more wor
thy of congressional honors. He neve
sought to use his (??arty nor to fight it. He
was never a demagogue, and is incapable of
being 011c. He is an upright gentleman, a
true democrat and an able debater. He
would not sacrifice either his convictions or
his party to secure any mere personal end.
He has neither sought nor declined the
office. He has patrioticalfy answered the
united call of his 1 tarty. Being a good man,
and having been fairly???indeed, most hon
orably???nominated, I do think it is the
imperative duty of every democrat in the
district to give him a cordial and earnest
support, li!* nomination is of the kind of
nominations I love, and I should regard his
defeat as a public calamity.

would not do so except from a sense of puV

takes, and the flatteries of unwi
can prevent him from becoming one of the
most useful and distinguished men in Geor
gia. He is making a serious mistake now.
He is not not fighting evils in the demo
cratic organization, but the organization it
self. He is keeping up his fight after the
organization itself has nobly purged itself
of all the evils alleged to exist in it hereto

take side* nor write this letter. If Mr. Speer
were indeed my own son I would vote
against him. and trust to time to convince
him that I had rendered even him, as well
as the party, a good service.
One general remark, and I am done.
The democratic party is the party
f the future. It will govern??? this
country for the good of the country. In this
party the young men of the south' must ea
poet to develop their usefulness and achiev
their fame. It will be a fatal mistake for
any one of them to pla??-e himself, or allow
others to place him, in a position of even
ap((arent antagonism to that (*arty, ande*pe-
??????tally in a position in which he could eith
desire or expect the help of the common e
emy.
I???do not doubt (not meaning independ
ents now) there are some among us. lea??1
suspected by our (leople, who are anxiously
looking and adroitly working for certain
combinations iu 1880. I warn them
they will fail. 1 do not know a prominent
republican at tlie north who is willing t-
make a -ingle concession to the south,
the presidential ticket or otherwise, exc<_
???11 condition of affiliation with the republi
an party.
The southern man who, under any pre-
ext. shall be willing to afliliate with the
(???arty which disfranchised the intelligent
virtue and pro(??erty of the south, and placed
them all under the dominion of ignorance
and villainy; which used the army to pr*
tect their villains while they were???robbing
which is now using the (tatrouage

thor* of a presidential larceny, and which

refuge for the escaping criminal* of their
