Air. Editor —J.AY.N; niakes a great,
parade over the amount of facts and fig
iires that he has brought forward iu de
leneo <d his posithui, and violently as
sails my indrediility and obstinacy. The
trouble is, and. AY. N. endeavored to Con
vince moon his bare assertions and the
opinion of a few distinguished men, in
stead of testimony, (treat, men are not
always right. Why don’t l. W. X.and
all the advocates of these bureaus show
us the dumber of immigrants that have
been inilucnced to come into our state
through I)r. Janes' publications; give
us the amount of money that has been
invested in real estate and improve
ments, and thus show us the increase in
taxable property ? If they Can slow me
that these departments increase the val
ue of our property to an amount that will
exceed the appropriations, then I will
submit. I expect .1. W. X. will conclude
Unit he established that fact iu showing
that the committee appointed by the
1 law kiusville convention slated that the
impectiou brought into the treasury sev
eral thousand dollars more than the ap
propriation. Why can’t We empower
the govonfof to appoint the inspectors
and stiil receive all this inspection fee
into the treasury and save the $14,000
appropriated to sustain Dr. Janes and
liis machine ? The inspection of fertili
zers will be continued if the bill passes
to abolish the agricultural bureau ; then
v’e Will receive every dollar into the
tieasury without the said bureau that
we do with it. Ail the figures that he
has produced ~c re from this inspection,
lint J. W. AT claims that the printed
matter distribute lby Dry. Janes and
Little is worth more to the state than
the appropriations. This 1 is the fact J,
W. X. has failed to establish. Now* get
up your figures that will show that our
taxable property is increased to the
amount of $2400 per annum through
the influence of Drs. Janes ami Little
and the opposition will abate, i say
that not more than one farmer out of fif
ty in (la. receive their publications; not
more than one out of the fifty who get
them read them; and not more than one
out of the fifty who read them adopt the
plains suggested by Dr. Janos. These
unread publications are all they can show
fi*r the $120,000 of the people’s money
already squandered.
J. \V. N. says lie lias heard reliable
men say, and read in the Atlanta Con-
Ktitution, that gold land had been sold
in Hal!, Lumpkin and Carroll counties
through Dr. Little’s influence. If lie
will remember the Constitution stated,
also, that 2o lots ol’coal land had been
sold in Dade county, i know that to he
False, and i don’t know that these lands
were sold in the other counties mention
ed iu the Constitution. He says, again,
that Dr. Janos lias brought some emi
grants into Wavne and Thomas coun
ties. 1 don’t know that these emigrants
were brought there by Dr. Janes’ writ
ing. If they actually settled in those
counties I. don’t think they benelitted
the state $120,000; neither do 1 believe
that all the skilled laborers, useful citi
zens <fec., which they have brought to
this state have increased, or are likely to
increase, our taxable# the
amount ol the appropriations made to
sustain them. J. W. N has given no
facts and figures touching this part of
the question, lie has asserted it and
(pioted the opinions of big men to prove
it. Lut is that the hint, of evidence that
can satisfy our minds ? The people are
already too much oppressed to suffer their
money squandered in this way.
J. W. X. seems to think that because
lam opposed to oppression and to ex
changing the practical farmer’s money
for the book farmer’s attainments, that
I am ready to clog the wheels of civili
zation and to return to barbarism. Far
from it, sir ! Practical farming is the
foundation upon which civilization and
society rest; the basis and source of the
permanent wealth of a nation, it is the
parent of manufacture and commerce and
the basis of all other industries. No
man appreciates the importance of agri
culture more than 1 do. lam in favor
of wise legislation in the interest of agri
culture. The duty on articles used by

J. W. X. calls his men educated, pa

to their country and to their fellow-man.
dust think of tlie sel(’-sacrificing Di.
Janes, who, for llie pitiful sum of $1 L*
000 per year, lias unlocked the vast
stores of his profound intellect and lav
ished them i:i profusion upon the whole
nation. Ido think, sir, that these edu
cated gentlemen could afford to give us
the results of their study and experience
for a less sum than that; especially when
they are so Zealous in the interest of
their country and their fellow-man. 1
am in favor of more effort being made to
stop tin’s flow of emigration fi /ui our
state than to encourage a few strangers
to come among us, even into Wayne and
Thomas counties. Let our own people
be made contented and happy, and wo
will need no Xew Englanders to teach ns
the way to prosperity and success. It
has been hut a few years since the south
lost millions in her negro property, and
to replace this wealth will require time.
Before the war when our farmers made
money it was more land and more ne
groes,and novas our j cople make money
they will invest it iu manufactures,-and
when we have had time the soiitli will
hr a rich, great and powerful country;
and the practical farmers will constitute
.the advance guard, and the largest part
of that grand army of progress. Acs,
sir, the wheels of civilization wiil roll on
though the agricultural bureau perish,
and become one of the things of the past.
Our beloved old shite won her enviable

It is an old trick of do .pots, and a
good one, to employ their subjects. Em
ployed men are most, contented. r l here
is no conspiracy. Men do not sit down
and couly proceed to concoct iniquity so
long as there is plenty ami profitable cm
plopment lor body and mind. W ork
drives off discontent, provided there is
compensation in propotion to the amount
of labor performed. There must be a
stimulant. God never intended that a
man should sweat without citing of the
fruits of Ins labor—reaping a toward—
more than he intended the idol man should
revtl in plenty and grow gouty on lux
uries Industry is a great peace-maker
—a mind-your-own-business citizen
Something to do renders the desparing
good-natured and hopeful, stops the erv
of the hungry, ami promotes all virtue.
The best men are the most industrious,
and the most wealthy work the hardest.
They always find something to do.
Do you ever wonder that, men of wealth do
not retire and enjoy their substance?
We know some young men look forward
with anticipation to t lie time of retiring.
I t is doubtful if a man should ever retire
from bifisness as long as lie lives. We
think we know men who, were they to
abandon business, would be ruined, not
pecuniarly but mentally their lives would
be shortened. God never intended man’s
mind should become dormant. It is
governed by fixed laws. These laws are
imperative in their exactions.
Something to do! Oh, if I had some
thing to do! There are young men wh.o
sigh for a job. Once found, brovided it
is an honest one, do not hesitate to per
form it, even if it does not pay as well as
you expected.

If we knew the heart-histories of many
o'd nni.Lswe should find them characDr
i::e l by the purest pathos and life’ most
‘Novated discipline. Often does a woman
remain '.ingle because she is faithful to
an idea! Perhaps some happy dream of
girlhood was broken lv death and es
trangement —perhaps she has never met
t 'aeniail who fully realized her aspira
tions, and whom in perfect fealty she
could fed herself able to love, honor and
obey. Whatever men may think on the
subject, the last word* ‘‘obey,” has a
grave meaning to thoughtful women,
who conscious of a “soul of their own,”
are a little, terrified at all obedience may
ivolve. Other women there are of gentle
an l more yielding natures, who have
formed anideal which in real life is never
approximately rcaebe l, though this class
only desire to find the idol worthy of theii

who can act like God if lie will, it is not
reasonable that he should live for the

he should live to do good—to amelior

Wilbanks, to prevent trouble. Pool be

him m a dozen places, Doss left and was

Pool with shot guns,

gentleman who conversed with an eye

AY hat does your anxiety do? It does
not empty to-morrow of its sorrows;
hut, ah! it empties to-day of its strength.
It does not make you escape the evil, it
makes you unfit to cope with it when it
conies. It does not bless to-morrow, and
it robs to-day. For every day has its
own burden. (Sufficient for each day
is the evil which properly belongs to it.
Do not add to-morrow’s to to-day’s. Do
not drag the future into the present,
The present has enough to do with its
own proper concerns. AYe have al
ways strength to bear the evil when it
comes. AYe have not strength to hear
the foreboding of it. As thy day, thy
strength shall be. In strict proportion
to the existing exigencies will be the
God-given power; but if you cram and
condense to-days sorrow’s by experience
and to-morrow’s sorrows by anticipation
into the narrows round of the one four
and twenty hours, there is no promise
that as that day thy strength shall be!
God give s us (His name be praised!( —
God gives us power to bear all the sor
rows of His making; but He does not
give us power to bear the sorrows of our
own making, which the anticipation of
sorrow most assuredly is.—Alexander
