EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Legislature in now getting

Reports from nil sections of this
county declare the cotton crop t.»

Moody’s church at Chicago has

Judge Roney on bin re-election to

country papers at this time will

ance.
An exchange says : Cobb coun
ty has an old gentleman and wile
who nrc 80 years old, been mar-;
ried nearly (50 years, raised !l |
children and never had a <l< nth in ;
their family.
Hon. S. C. Lamkin has been
appointed Chairman of the Com
mittee on Public Property from
the Senate, while Hon. Richmond
Harris occupies a place on the
Committee on Agriculture from
the House.
Our genial friend, Mr. George
W. Gray is certainly a successful
Irish potato grower. It was our
privilege a few days ngo to sain- j
pie sonic of his crop. They were
a* fine as any we ever see brought
to this market and well preserved
in every respect.
We hear of young men, discour
aged by the short crops and low
price of cotton, who have decided
to quit the farm. This is not a
wise decision. Stick to the farm.
It is an honorable calling, do not
forsake it in search of an easy
place. The farm is the place af
ter all. There may be discouanige
ments, but success will come after
a while.
In examining the terms of set
tlement in the great strike-lockout
in Augusta, we fail to see any
thing extraordinary about the
same, notwithstanding so much
has been said. The same terms
could have been made long ago
and a great deal saved on both
aides. The fact is, both parties
were gaining nothing, and doubt
less they were feeling it, hence
the settlement.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch fur
nishes the following suggestive
item : One drug store in Hawkins
ville has sold thia year two bush
els and a halt of cathartic pills, to
say nothing of a can or two of
••consecrated” calomel. This
house buys pills by the peck, and
yet the senior is candid enough to
advise his customers not to make
a *• perambulating apothecary
•hopf’ of their stomachs.

To-day is the day to begin to
break dirt on the Augusta ami
Chattanooga Railroad. If we are
correctly informed the work was
to liegin with 100 convicts. We
are opposed to bringing convict
labor in competition with free la
bor. There are a sutlicient number
of honest characters needing em
ployment at this season of the
year to do all work necessary on
the A. and C. Railroad.
From present indications it
appears that the A. and C. Rail
road will not go immediately
through Appling. This we re
gret. Nothing would be of gt enter
benefit to that section of Colum
bia county than to have the coun
ty aite brought into railroad com
munication with the world. In
our judgment it would not only
give new life to the place, but at
the same time be of incalculable
benefit to the county.
We clip the following from the
Lincolnton News, with the allow
ance that delinquent subscribers
have been paying up, which makes
the editor feel good ami enables
him to draw on his imagination to
a certain extent: “Col. Crawford
informs the News that Gil# Wright
killed an eagle of enormous pro
portions at a distance of eighty
five yards with a common pistol.
He took “lest” on a cornstalk.”
Qu-te a number ot the sable
sons of Africa contemplate moving
to Augusta this fall. The princi
pal cause assigned is found in the
following familiar lines;
“0 is an 0,
And 5 ih a figure,
Ali fur the white man
And none for the nigger.”
Well, let cully go ami try the
sweets of city life, and ere the
ides of March appear he will be
found returning, a wiser if not a
better negro.
-
The following example of thrift
is clipped from a Stone Mountain
special to the Atlanta Constitu
! t ion :
Geo. Scott, a colored tenant o ri
W. R. Well’s farm, made this
year with one mule ten bales of
cotton ami enough corn, fodder,
oats, etc , to do him another year.
George commenced farming this
year without a dollar, has paid his
guano and provision bills, ami has
several dollats in cash to begin
I with another year.
..
The Barnesville Mail gives the
following graphic picture of a
j good collector. One possessing!
i such qualifications need never be
out of employment. He will fill
the bill for every branch of busi- |
ness : “A good collector of all ■
things else in this world is the
j most difficult to find, lie must be
as patient as a horse rack, cheer
ful as a duck, slick ns a Pike
county politician, sociable as a
hotel flea, bold as a lion, cunning
as a fox, as watchful as a sparrow
hawk, and ns congenial as a book 1
agent."
I I
From a private letter from
Representative A. I. Monroe we
make the following extract con
cerning the drawing of seats by
members of the House, lie says : )
“On the first day of the session
we drew for seats. \\ hen 1 was a
boy (in the army) I was very
good at ‘draw,’ but ago and mor- !
I ality seems to have changed my
luck. Our county was nearly the
j last to fall out ot the hat. I began
>to think I would have to sit on
the water cooler, but succcded nt
last in getting a tolerable seat."— !
Calhoun County Courier.
We hope our worthy Represent
. ative had the good hick in not on- ■
Ily getting a “tolerable’’ but a
comfortable sent.
THE CONVICT QUESTION.
We copy the following from
the Macon Telegraph which form
ed a part ot a well timed editorial
in that paper of Monday last. It
puts the matter in just that light
we view it, and this position we
have held ever since the lease sys
tem was inau united :
The Legislature, now fully organiz
ed for tile discharge of public busi
ness, is expected to take a searching
look into the convict business. The
people expect and demand this at
their hands.
The convict system, taken up under
pressure, as an experiment, has not
proven satisfactory. If something is
not done what was intended as a
makeshift will become a fixture of the
State government There ought to
Ih* wisdom and honesty enough in the
! General Assembly to devise some
plan for the future that will be more
acceptable to the people, more just
to the convicts and more honorable to
the State. The system should be
examined into from its start, and the !
process by which so much power has
been lodged in the hands of a few i
men should lie freelv ventilated.
