ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AUGUST 26, 1875.
A Startling Fact.
Only twenty per cent of the Georgia
farmers buy what they consume for
cash. The remainder, by purchasing
what they consume on credit, annually
waste the enormous sum of four mil
lion two hundred and fifty thousand
($4,250,000) dollars.
This is a demonstrated fact, which we
glean from the official statistics of the
State Department of Agriculture.
• The Cotton Worm.
Mr. A. B. Grote, who it appears Las
made a special study of the habits of
the cotton worm, strongly inclines to
the belief that it migrates from some
region farther South than the cotton
States. It was unknown until a com
paratively short time before the war,
the cultivation of cotton having been
carried on for many years before the
existence of the worm was observed.
According to Mr. Grote, the Southern
States are, every year, visited by a
moth, wkich deposits its eggs only on
the cotton plant. From these the
grub is hatched, and afterward goes
into the chrysalis state on the leaf
which has furnished it nourishment.
During the winter it dies out com
pletely, and were it not for the new
immigration of moths, the plant would
be free from its ravages. These facts
are of importance, since they direct the
planter when and upon what to direct
his preventive measures. Evidently it
is not the grub, but the moth that is
to be attacked, and two rules arc given
by Mr. Grote: First, To use whatever
remedy is employed against the first
brood of moths that appear in any lo
cality. Second, That to be effective,
the action in any section must be con
certed and common to all planters.
The study of insects, injurious to
plants grown for man’s use, is every
day proving the importance of small
birds in the human economy, and the
only measure recommended by our au
thor is the importation of English
sparrows, and the protection of all
birds.
The following is a sentence from an edito
rial in the Atlanta Herald. How are we to
understand it? “Now, this Atlanta paper
must know that the majority of the Northern
people, and hardly any considerable portion of
them, endorsed this abuse of Mr. Davis, and
these objections to his coming.”— Savannah
Neu-s.
The building of this editorial was,
doubtless, superintended by Kimball
himself, on the “ no-principle —the
best-principle” plan. It’s constructed
like a Dutch scow, and can be pushed
North, or backed out in a Southerly
direction, with equal facility.
To the Brethren. —We earnestly
request the brethren, in all parts of
the State, to keep us posted as to the
business of their respective Granges,
and all matters occurring in the neigh
borhood, which are of interest to the
Brotherhood, and the knowledge of
which will enhance the benefits of our
Order.
Give us short, crisp items of news;
give us valuable experiences in your
farming operations, suggestions, etc.
The Grange is for the interest of
all, aud our brethren must help us to
increase its value.
Says the Savannah News :
The only person that suffers from the Rock
ford, 111., disturbance in regard to President
Davis, is the youthful editor of the Atlanta
Herald. It is like drawing a harrow across
his patriotic bowels. It is all very melan
choly.
That H. I. Kimball, the Fidus Acha
tes of Bulloch, is the possessor of “ pa
triotic bowels,” will be news to Geor
gians. It is all very laughable.
Grangers’ Festival.—A “ Gran
gers’ Festival” will take place on
Wednesday, September Ist, prox., at
Fairmont, Ga. A number of eminent
speakers will deliver appropriate ad
dresses, and a most excellent time is
anticipated. Salacoa Grange is stead
ily increasing in numl ers and in pow.
er, and is now among the very best in
the State. ‘ •
Many persons are judged harshly by the
world beeau-e they allow no eye but God's to
see into the inner sanctuaries of their hearts.

Farm vs. Counter.
Rev. D. E. Butler, in a speech before
the State Agricultural Society, at Dal
ton, said:
I want to go into the stores and counting
houses of the cities and take every nice j otuig
man who raises a bed of down on his upper
lip, [laughter,] and perfumes his pocket
handkerchief with the essence of roses, [I a ligh
ter.] and sports his little cane, an.! tenderly
buttons on bis white hands his soft kid gloves,
[laughter,] and makes his boots so bright
that a poodle dog can see himself in them,
[bursts of laughter and applause,] and turn
him out from behind the counter, or from
keeping books, and send him to work like a
man in the field or factory, and put our edu
cated girls in his place. [Loud applause.]
Upon which the Louisville Courier-
Journal comments as follows :
.A reverend speaker in a Georgia conven
tion, the other day, eloquently described how
he would (if he could) transplant the elegant
and accomplished dry goods clerk to the cot
ton field, and put him to the manly work
which so abounds in all districts that are
properly cultivated. He wanted to do this
in order to give the young women something
to do. From the amount of applause he got
while he was thus speaking, it might be in
ferred that his idea was a new one, though it
wasn’t. It has often occurred to young men
employed in town, but when they drop their
yard-sticks and go out to offer their services
to the brawny agriculturist, what happens to
them? Doesn’t he eye them all over sarcas
tically and ask them what they’ expect to do
on a farm? And doesn’t he tell them that
they don’t look as if they had ever done any
hard work? And doesn’t he keep on humil
iating them, finally expressing the belief that
it isn’t of much use for them to try farming?
If he employs them at all, they are paid, per
haps, the magnificent sum of ten dollars a
month, and the hour at which they are ex
pected to rise in the morning is so perfectly
startling that few amateur farm laborers from
the city survive a thorough comprehension
of all that it involves. Farming has to be
learned, like other business, and it is ex
tremely hard work for a poor man who isn’t
used it, particularly if he is a dry goods
clerk. If we are to get . our young men off
to the country permanently, we shall have to
begin by offering them two dollars a day, and
reducing th it day to six or eight hours. Any
thing shori f this will hardly make the de
sired opening for the young women.
Aside from all bandinage, there is a
serious phase to the matter well worthy
the earnest consideration of thoughtful
men. Our cities and towns are crowded
with men and youths ekeing out a scan
ty existence by work of the most trivial
character, and not at all adapted to
their physical capabilities or the duties
of well-developed manhood. Stifling
the promptings of laudable ambition,
and content with stations in life which
can rarely lead to honorable personal
independence, and which offer no pro
ductive results other than the bare
means for the support of a trivial life,
these myriads of drones take from the
hands of the working classes of our
female population many opportunities
by which these might be enabled to
gain an honest livelihood, by labor
suited to their capacities.
It would certainly be a blessing if our
yard-stick brigades, for instance, would
retire from the inglorious counter for
the purpose of swelling the ranks of
the independent yeomanry, or to engage
in the many industrial enterprises
which, in all sections of our country,
await development through sturdy
arms and determined purposes. Their
vacated places would at once be filled
by girls and women, to whom the re
quired duties legitimately belong; there
by producing a change in the labor
system alike beneficial to individuals
and communities.
The intricacies of roguery are mysterious,
and yet they are almost always brought to the
light of day. and, oftentimes, by the strangest
fatalities. For instance, the shocking death
of the man Sylvester, Bullock’s overseer in
Cobb county, brought to light the chain that
still united Mr. H. I. Kimball in interest and
fellowship with that fugitive rogue, Rufus B.
Bullock. But few, we opine, of the 1.700
leading citizens of this city, whose endorse
ment embellishes the character of Mr. Kim
ball, were aware, at the time they were lending
their names to veneer the reputation of this
gentleman, that he was in a business and
friendly communication with this infamous
scoundrel; and yet we do not see as it will
make much difference. The twn were
closely allied in their operations while Bul
lock was in power, and both shared the same
flight from the wrath of an outraged people,
and it is nothing but natural that they should ■
still be in sympathy.— Atlanta Common
wealth.
Holding a controlling interest in the
Atlanta Herald, and, as we believe, di
recting and shaping its utterances on
all important occasions, this close alli
ance of H. I. Kimball with the fugi- \
tive scoundrel, Bullock, becomes a
matter of great importance to every
citizen of our State. They, should
consider wheth'er a paper, controlled
by the friend and sympathizer of the
rogue, Bullock, has a right to speak
for Georgians, and to claim patronage
on the pretence of serving them.
On the contrary, we believe the pa
per is run in the peculiar interests of
this man. Kimball, the confrere ot Bul
lock; and the nature of these interests
is well known to a majority of our
people, from sad experience, through
years of disaster and humiliation.
e call attention to the certificate of
Col. D. E. But.er, relative to Laud’s
Fertilizer.
IMPORTANT SUBJECTS CONSipERED.
Letterfrom Hon.T. J. Smith, Master
State Grange.
Georgia Grange—Dear Brother :
I wish to be heard again in the organ
of the Georgia State Grange, in the in
terests of our organization. I had the
pleasure of being with the Executive
Committee of our State Grange in At
lanta, on the 13th, and agree fully in
the importance that our Brotherhood
should rally, as one man, to our general
purchasing agent, brother G. T. Gar
rett. No other plan of action will
guarantee to us the advantages of co
operation. The complaints from a few
were fully investigated, and the Com
mittee thought them not so important
as to demand more than caution upon
their part, and whenever any business
was not satisfactorily done, and the
agent did not at once correct it, then
the Executive Committee would take
cognizance of it, and act promptly.
Too little importance is given by our
members to co-operating in buying.
Suppose every member of our Order
were to consolidate their orders in ev
ery purchase; this would make your
agent place himself upon such a basis
that thous nds, yes, hundreds of thous
ands of dollars would be saved to the
toiling millions. Brothers, consolidate
your orders, let us buy together, sell
together, work together for ouY mutual
protection, advancement and interest.
I endorse fully the action of the Ex
ecutive Committee in holding up the
hands of our general agent, brother T.
C. Garrett, and t brothers, do likewise,
and you will be richly compensated for
it. Much speculation has been entered
into by many relative to the proposi
tions coming from Europe, proposing
to co-operate with us in the advance
ment of direct trade, and that our
Brotherhood, and fe’ilow-citizens, may
understand well the objects in view,
Dr. Worral, one of the commissioners
delegated by the rest, will address the
members 'of the Grange, and our fel
low-citizens, at the following places
viz ; Marietta, September Sth ; Gaines
ville, 9th ; LaGrange 12th ; Griffin,
14th ; Macon, 15th, Hawkinsville,
17th ; Albany, 19th ; Savannah, 21st;
Augusta, 22d ; Thompson, 23d ; Con
yers, 24th ; and that a large meeting
may be secured by our Brotherhood
and fellow-citizens, each Grange will
send as many delegates as they desire.
Dr. Worral is very entertaining,and will
edify those much that compliment him
with their presence. It is very much
desired that the brethren at once ad
vertise these meetings, and secure a
large attendance. Gen. A. H. Colquit,
Col. Thomas Hardeman, and other
prominent speakers will be invited to
accompany Dr. Worral, and I will also
be with him when it does not conflict
with other engagements.
Believing the sowing largely of small
grain will correct the evils so much
complained of by our farmers—ineffi
cient labor —as also fit us for improv
ing our farms, as well as making them
self-sustaining, I have impressed, time
and again, the great importance of our
people sowing small grain next fall, aud
given the names of parties that will
sell them the celebrated rust-proof oats,
so popular wherever sown ; and, I am
gratified to say,our very worthy brother,
Thomas Willingham, of Albany, whilst
he is selling, generally, at a dollar and
a quarter per bushel, he will sell to the
members of the Grange at one dollar,
and he has a large quantity to spare ;
so, those that want to buy, take notice
of this worthy example of our
brother, and, I trust, other brothers
will follow his noble example.
Brothers, our organization is being
vitalized all over Georgia. e hear
good reports also from other States
let our State be second to none. lam
still in the work, doing all I can to pro
mote the grand object in view.
Brother Deputies, wake up to the
importance of action I The revival sea
son is at ho nd ; let us kindle a flame in
Georgia that will illuminate all this
section. Yours fraternally,
T. J. Smith,
Master Georgia State Grange.
In a letter from Macon, dated Aug.
23d, W. M. Smith, supplementary to
the above, says:
“ Brother M. C. Fulton, of Thomp
son, says he will emulate the example ,
of brother Willingham, and sell the
rust-proof oats at the same price.
Those who will follow this good exam
ple will send their names to our most
worthv Secretary in Macon, brother E.
Taylor.
The cotton crop in many sections is
being seriously cutoff by rust, which’s
prevailing to an alarming extent.
I am passing through to fill appoint
ments ; on the 24th at Butler ; 25tb,
Talbotton; 26th, Kingsboro, 27th,
Bethel Church, in Muscogee.
I exceedingly regret to be confined
on the jury next week, in my county,
where a special term is ordered to .cry
the insurrectionists, which will compel
me to disappoint my appointments for
next week in North Georgia.
Journalism.
The> secular journalist no longer
trusts to a merely partisan cry for suc
cess. He must intelligently and truth
fully discuss the affairs of the times,
and give a fair digest of the news of
the day. “ Independent” journals are
yet to be the popular journals. Not
independent in the sense of flying off
in a tangent for the purpose of abusing
somebody, or creating a sensation, or
for other unworthy ends, but indepen
dent in the sense of manly and fair
consideration of all contemporaneous
questions, without regard to party al
liances or personal predilictions. To
wards this the great representative
journals are surely tending.
Now, of religious journalism. AH
good people must rejoice at the marked
progress of the last twenty-five yeais.
If considered from the point of merely
numerical increase, and power of influ
ence, the growth is simply amazing.
But what is even more significant, is
the tone and character of religious
journalism. Some of the most pro
found thinkers, the ripest scholars,
and most polished writers of the age,
are engaged as editors or regular con
tributors to various religious periodi
cals. Vast private and denominational
enterprises are now undertaken in the
publication of Christian periodicals, that
but a few years ago would have been
generally considered absurd impos
sibilities. These signs lead us to large
hope in the future. May the dignity
and high usefulness which belongs to
journalism press the journalist to the
great possibility of right, power and
influence, which are surely attainable.
The Herald has made a tremendous over
sight. In its notice of Gov. Smith, Judges
Bleckley, Trippe, and other distinguished per
sons resident on Peachtree street, it inexcus
ably omitted to mention the name of Hanibald
Hi Kimbafl. We had, with our usual dullness,
failed to notice the glaring omission until this
morning we found it frankly and promptly
corrected in the Herald. For the sake of har
mony in the happy family, we hope the cor
rection will be satisfactory to Mr. Hanibald Hi.

The Monroe Advertiser reports that
during the recent State Agricultural
Society meeting at Dalton, an old del
egate from Greene county arose and
spoke as follows:
Jfr. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention : My aged colleague, who

his labors with yours for the good of
the Society, is prevented from attend

that although be may never look upon
your faces again; though he may never
meet with you to labor together for our
common good; that though death might
' be drawing near and he might pass away
before another meeting of the Socioty,
he would send this message as his last
greeting, “Sow oats; always sow in
October, and never fa : l to sow the ‘rust
proof’ variety.”

National Grange Committee on Cc->p
eration.
The following is the revised Report
of the National Grange Committee on
“Crop Statistics” recently submitted,
and the discussion of which has been
postponed until the next annual ses
sion :
Worthy Master and Members National Grange:
Your Committee on Co-operation
have had under consideration that
part of a former report referred back
to us, and ask leave to report it back
to this body, with such amendments
as have suggested themselves to us af
ter consultation with a number of
brothers whose views we have endeav
ored to elicit. We are still of opinion
that to make a successful system of crop
reports and statistics, we must insist
upon the importance of individual re
sponsibility, not only on the part of
all officers charged with duty in the
premises, but of every individual mem
er having the charge or management
of a farm producing commercial com
modities. But in view of the objec
tions raised to our report as to the
probable expense involved, and to still
further simplify the forms of a com
mencement, we now propose to dis
pense with the first and second forms
of blanks /before proposed, and start
with one blank for each County
Grange. This will greatly reduce the
cost, (though we fear at the expense
of efficiency). This blank form to be
prepared by the statistical agent ap
pointed by the National Grange, or
their Executive committee, and under
the direction of said committee; and
four of these blanks (one for each
quarter) sent to each County Gfange.
These forms shall be headed : “Crop
Reports for County, State.
Quarters ending, respectively, March,
June, September and December.”
The columns on this blank shall be
headed about as follows : “ist. Name
of Products. 2d. Surplus for Market.
3d. Surplus same date last year. 4th.
Price at home. sth. Condition of
maturing crops on the decimal plan
used by the agricultural depart
ment of the general government of the
United States. 6th. Notes and obser
vations.”
It shall be the duty of these Coun
ty Granges to procure, through Subor
dinate Granges, from all individual
members having the charge or man
agement of a farm, the proper statis
tics to fill the blank in this report with
the utmost possible accuracy and
promptness. While this, in the very
nature of'things, must be a voluntary
work, we appeal to the good sense of
our brethren throughout our land to
consider the vast importance of a
hearty, united co-operation on this sub
ject. If we cannot co-operate here,
what is hope of our success in any
thing ?
We most earnestly commend this
subject to the several State Granges
for careful consideration : Wise and
early action on well a devised plan to
aid and assist the County and Subor
dinate Granges to perfect and carry
out a system of crop reports and sta
tistics.
When the County Grange has col
lected the leading staple commercial
productions of the county (whatever
they may be) in not less than ten days
of the close of the quarter, they must
be forwarded to the statistical' agent
at headquarters.
The statistical agent shall consoli
date and tabulate these reports by
States, on a suitable bank prepared
for the purpose, as promptly as pos
sible, so as to forward them as early
in the succeeding quarter as practica
ble to the County Granges. Not less
than one copy for each Subordinate
Grange in the county.
In order to carry out the plan herein
proposed, your committee recommend
that this National Grange appoint or
instruct its Executive Committee to
appoint a suitable person, who shall be
a member of our Order, statistical
agent, whose headquarters shall be at
the Secretary’s office of the National
Grange, at the annual salary of $ ,
payable in quarterly installments at
the end of the quarter.
This agent shall, by the advice and
consent of the Executive Committee
of the National Grange, devise and
execute plans to simplify, facilitate and
perfect a system of statistical crop re
ports adapted to our organization, be
ginning with a few leading staple pro
ductions of commercial character, and
gradually advancing as circumstances
may justify, toward a full and complete
system, keeping constantly in view the
fact that the ultimate-object is to fur
nish to’the members of our Order
reliable information as to the supply
and] demand of the products of our
labor, ar.d to aid our own people in
mutual exchange of productions and
the best market for the same.
It shall be the duty of the Executive
Committee of this Grange, to keep a
full and complete account of all ex
penditures on account of this depart
ment, and render an itemized account
of the same in their annual report to
this body, together with such facts and
suggestions as practical experience may
justify, with a view to the general good
of the Order.
It is further recommended that the
sum of $ be appropriated from the
treasury of the National Grange, fur
the purpose of defraying the expenses
of this department this year.
All of which is most respectfully
submitted.

OFFICIAL REPORTS.
State Grange Lecturer J. B. Jone*.
(CONTINUED.)
Henderson, July 2, 1375.
Col. T. J. Smith: On the 3d of May
I visited Antioch Grange, in Tatnall
county, about seven miles from Canoo
chee Grange. This Grange I instructed
privately, and afterwards addressed the
members and citizens of the neighbor
hood. Here I was much gratified to
meet a most worthy brother, Master
from another Grange of the same coun
ty. He informed me his own Grange
was doing well; and it could not be
otherwise expected, when you know his
own earnestness and zeal. One incident
will illustrate what he thinks aud how
he feels. He is a ministers of the gos
pel, and was requested to preside over
the public meeting. After taking the
chair, and making a few remarks touch
ing the object of the meeting, he asked
the audience to join with him in a pub
lic prayer, to invoke the blessing of the
Almighty upon the great cause which
they bad assembled to promote. I
opened my remarks by saying I felt as
did the Eeverend brother, that it was
always proper to pray for what is right;
and that I believed it to be both a priv- 1
ilege and a duty to ask the Divine
blessing upon an Order whose growth is
simply marvelous, if its origin may not
be deemed strictly providential. That,
next to man’s spiritual welfare, we were
authorized to pray for his temporal in
terest ; and, in that light, next to our
religious duties, I placed the great ob
jects sought to be accomplished by the
Patrons of Husbandry. That their
cause was,, emphatically, the cause of
the people, present and to come. That
their principles were neither higher nor
lower than, the simple principles of
right and justice, which they seek
to secure by means the most easy
and honorable —by the improvement
and elevation of society; through the
improvement and elevation of its mem -
bens; by trimming down excesses, and
diminishing expenses; by teaching how
to save, as well as how to make; by de
nouncing all rings and combiriations
formed for fraud and extortion; by ig
noring, in our dealing, all agencies not
necessary to an easy and healthy trade,
but which exist, in commerce,
generated,by speculation, and sustained
by the stimulus of illegitimate profit.
Antioch Grange is composed of good
men and women ; is well officered, and
doing a good work. I returned to Lib
erty county and visited two other neigh
borhoods, where, it is thought, new
Granges will be formed at a later day,
when the press of work is off the hands
of the farmers. I mentioned before
that the harvest of the oats crop was
on hand, and in every community it
was the engrossing business of the farm,
holding the same importance in these
counties as a provision crop—that
wheat does in others. Here the spell
of cotton is broken ; a diversity of crops
is considered best, and is made the
policy of the farmer, and the indications
of thrift, aud the revival of home inde
pendence, is the result.
But the fairest portion of Liberty
county, it is said, has been given up to
the vagrant freedman, and yields nei
ther stock nor remunerative crops, where,
only a few years ago, dwelt a popula
tion fixed and refined, conferring a
proud name upon their county, the
soil has been remanded to its primitive
production, and, like the shifting ten
ancy upon it, yields nothing to pro
gress aud civilization. Yours,
J. B. Jones.
