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 RISING FAWN, DADE COUNTY, GA.. THURSDY, JUNE 19, 1879. the tanners averages 42.1 pei cent, oi the revenue. This should not he so. J. W. X. calls his men educated, pa triotic gentlemen, and he might have added philanthropic, for who has before manifested such unparalleled devotion 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 ,tith\ the .empire state of the south. . fore the birth o'f the agricultural bureau and she will ever maintain, though the bureaus die. Aly friend, J. AY. X'., calls foi the doxology, and 1 am ready to join in the song- but allow me # to thank you, Air. Editor, for your uniform courtesy and patient indulgence dining this discus sion, I hope J. AY. X. will not fall asleep in his delusion, but will furnish the ren- of the Gazette an article on prac tical fanning from time to time. Brad Tatum. SwisaetSifiLag’ toUZo. 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. George C.

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 <1 )r°tio i ami obedienev At any rate tlio women who remains single rather than make a “half-hearted” marring is worthy fy f all honor.

And is it not reasonable that man, to whom the whole creation, from the beautiful ric.li Colored (lower up to the spangled heaven all minister—man, who has the power of conferring deeper misery and higher hap piness than any being on earth—man who can act like God if lie will, it is not reasonable that he should live for the noble end of living not for himself alone but for others? Is it not reasonable that he should live to do good—to amelior ate tlie cond.tion of lus race—to scatter seeds of happiness in every community in which he lives andthrough every cir cle in which he moves? —lie is the best man. the.purest philanthropist, and the holiovt Christian, what ever else he has or lacks, who lives for his race, the all controlling motive of whose conduct is to make men good, useful and happy.

Dick Wilbanks and a man named Harrison, who lived with Dool, got into a dispute over a game of cards. Wilbanks wheat off to get a gun to shoot Harrison, While Wilbanks was gone Mr. Doss went to Pool and advised him as a friend to get Hen derson to go away before the return of Wilbanks, to prevent trouble. Pool be ing intoxicated, and having a grudge, as saulted Doss, threatening his life and taking him by the throat for the purpose of carrying out his threats, Doss, to re lieve himse'f, drew his knife and stabbed him m a dozen places, Doss left and was being hunted after by three brothers of Pool with shot guns, Tne above is the history we get from a gentleman who conversed with an eye witness.

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!
