Trading With yonr Own Merchants.
Mr. Editor:
Your seven reasons for trading
with home merchants are suggestive.
They should be seen by every person.
Foreign trading is attended with
more and greater evils than most
persons are aware. There are laws
both in moral and political economy
which will result favorably wherever
they are practiced. The violation
of those laws will result evilly to
those violating them. This foreign
trading is a cause producing nothing
but evil effects.
Every community has not only an
individual, but a public interest, each
of which i3 proportional to the num
ber pursuing business and the extent
of the community. A town of one
thousand inhabitants has an individ
ual interest corresponding to that
number, and a general and political
interest equal to the extent of its
territory. If the inhabitants of one
community should transfer their tra
ding to another community, the in
dividual and general property inter
est of the lutter, will both be enhanc
ed at the expense of the former, in
the proportion in which trade may be
transferred.
A transfer of trade from one town
to another increases the business of
the one to which the trade is carried.
If it be a town, a sufficient transfer
of business will make it a city. In
creased business necessitates an in
crease of force, and means with which
to conduct it. These require more
clerks, accountants and laborers.
These necessitate an increase ot po
licemen anil detectives. All these
augment not only the aggregate ex.
penses, tut those for individuals pos
sessing special qualifications. All
this increase of men and means must
be drawn Horn the country, where
living is cheaper, to cities, where it
is more costly. This increase of
means and business must be paid by
the countrymen who do tlieir trading
in the cities.
Nor does this tell all the increased
evils, effected by city thrift. Those
clerks, accountants, laborers and po
liceman have families. These are
taken from the country—all ages,
sizes, sexes and colors —to the cities,
where living is dearer, and there they
spend all their money, increased in
amount of wages for the increased
demands of life.
Their children attend school and
church there —there they learn the
follies of life. Think what a drain
upon the agricultural interest of the
country. No wonder fanners are
depressed and educational prosperity
of the country is waning
It requires a comparatively small
amount of the necessaries to support
life, whether in the country or city.
All over that is a superfluous or lux
urious expenditures. Some spend
all their money for necessaries and
fashionable luxuries. Others save a
part and apply it either to enlarging
gains ii future or in improvement
and adornment of property. If a
man will spend his entire earnings
he who saves a part of his has been
benefited, and the poor man not only
enriches the other but aids in build
ing up and beautifying the estates of
others, by adding his entire earnings
ta the volume of circulation in the
city.
This is why money appears more
plediifbl in the city than in the coun
try.
Take Americas as an example,
There the people buy the necessaries
the %xm.

and luxuries of life, and after deduct
ing the cost, in the aggregate, of all
these purchases, which is sent to
other places, supplying them, the re
mainder, the aggregate profits, is
put in circulation or appropriated to
the
iinproventOTPt|s^^^JStal£B.
It is there that the laborer, of
whatever character, does his work,
collects and spends his money. All
buying and spending in their own
city, whenever and whatever wanted,
produces prosperity. That is shown
in costly buildings, paved streets and
expensive surroundings generally.
All the expensive living—buildings,
displays of fashion or folly, made
more costly by general attractiveness,
all this drain upon the country in
population, in money flowing to the
city, must be borne, and are paid for
by the diminished number of produ
cers in the country, who are swelling
the tide of ruin that will drift them
and their children into the gulf of
poverty. What folly!
Still, farmers will trade there, not
knowing the increased expense upon
their means, nor thinking of the de
preciation they are bringing upon
their own lands, while they increase
tho valuation of lands near the city,
in a much greater proportion. This
is a thought worthy the farmer’s pro
found contemplation.
Where is the planter who has sav
ed five hundred dollars, in ten years,
by baying, as he says, cheaper goods
in the city ? Nowhere. But suppose
there are a few who have done so,
every one of them have lost over one
thousand dollars in the same time by
a depreciation of landed valuation.
A certain tract of land near this
town sold about ten years ago for I
twenty-two dollars per acre. The j
same land would not bring ten dol
lars per acre to-day. Where is the 1
gain then ?
Suppose the planters who li\.
nearer Buena Vista than other town&,;
would do their trading here.—the;,
hauling and saving freight both ways
—how much better would it be l'or
them and the community 1
The costly buildings, paved streets,
fine schools and churches, lucrative
trade and multiplied advantages of
Americus and Columbus would be in
vited here. The help which has
heretofore been extended to those
cities would give a market at their
own doors. Dilapidated buildings,
ruined trade, second or third class
schools would be among the things
of the past. Labor would be drawn
from the cities, and more equitably
divided. These would work and
spend money here, increasing busi
ness and circulation.
Your town would improve. Its
sofciety would become more elastic in
feelings; that would give a healthy
tone to the emulations of the sur
rounding people. Your homes would
be beautified; the countryman seeing
it, would soon find himself emulating
the example, and instead of needless
apologies, when visited, would greet
you with pride, plenty and satisfac
tion. Lands would increase in
valuo one hundred or more per cent,
while you would get goods equally as
cheap. Your clamor for railroad life
would cease, as much of the money
floating there would find a more di
versified and extended field of useful
ness m your midst, and the recuper
ating hopes of the mind and aroused
energies of the people would cause
our section to prosper with plenty
and thrift. I am pleased with your
start. It is in the proper direction.
Hold up your adopted town. Plead
for her merchants, mechanics and
planters.
And while you denounce foreign
trading, hold up to public view the
eq ally unjust, expensive and hateful
evil of ioreigffcducation. We ntod
training on this point.
Wheat’ Raising in |Beuthei*p T '
Colonel R. IT. Hardaway in Tliom
asvillo Enterprise: *T l>eg leave to
call the attention of tlic planters of
Thomas county and, indeed, of all
South Georgia, to the importance of
raising wheat. There is an enor
mous expenditure in Thomas county
for flour, amounting to SIOO,OOO an
nually. I know there is not a flour
mill in Thomas county, and planters
use this as an argument why they do
not plant wheat. It is also said that
wheat cannot be raised in South
Georgia. In 1863 and 1864 I suc
ceeded admirably in raising good
wheat ana a good yield. The fiist
year I raised nine bushels to the
acre, and the next year eleven bush
els to the here. I sent the wheat
seventy miles on my wagon to a
mill to be ground. It was poorly
ground, but It made very sweet
bread. It was during the war and
necessity compelled me to plant wheat
as flour was not to be had. The
scarcity of money ought to compel
every planter in Thomas county to
plant at least enough wheat to supply
his family wit 1 flour, and seed cn
( ugh to plant another crop. -The
planter should be as n.uch ashamed
to buy flour as to buy corn. The
system of buying provisions must be
abandoned before the planter can be
come independent. We must learn
to live at home. It unhinges the law
of supply and demand when the for
mer goes into the market to buy pro
visions that he ought to make to sell.
All otherjoccupations are non-produ-
j cers of proiisi ns aud expect thefar
j msrsgco.iupply tho food they con
me, and when the farmer ceases to
; i aise thesejsupplies and goes into the
:mark 1 to buy them it creates scarci
ty and. the markets become under the
control of the speculators, and prices
are run up as high as they can be
pushed. Hence, it reacts against the
farmer, who i3 compelled to pay the
very highest market rates. If wheat
be raised, mills will be erected to
grind it, aud unless the farmers will
try to grow wheat they will never
have any flour except as they buy it.
The wheat crop some years fails in
the best wheat countries, but that
does not deter the planter from plan
ting it again. So it should be with
us; let us keep planting and experi
menting every year, and success will
be sure. Wheat should be sowed in
October. Every Grange in Toomas
county ought to take steps that will
induce wheat culture. I trust that
every Granger’s wife will insist that
enough wheat shall be planted to
supply the family with flour the com
ing year.
“How is your church getting

Scotchman, who had separated in
turn from the Kirk, the Free
Church, the United Presbyterian
and several lesser bodies. “Pretty

How a Snake Charmed a Aojr,
From the heading Eagle.
Ft r the last two weeks a son of
AlUn Rogers, aged elven year, a
on tho Blue Mountains,
i|pi|3j®||l*gMleß from Hamburg,
flpßPyab l t. of h aving his
fiiflTeT’s house eV ery morning about
9 o’clock, and not returning until
noon. The parents of the boy l ave
questioned him teveral tines ns to
where he went, and tho boy wonld
rep'y, to play with a neighboring
boy named Springer. On Friday
la<t the father watch lii&* son, and
followed at a short distance, and
w hen about a half n.ile from the
h nse’ tho boy entered a piece
of thick epruot land, in from the
road some two hunre 1 yards, where
he seated himself upon a large rock
and in less than ten minutes the
father was horrified on seeing a
monster black snake crawl upon
tie r>ck jand pat its heal on the
boj, k, lap. The fathar states that
;he snake was the largest he over
saw on the hills. He states that
that it was easily fifteen feet long,
and as thick as his arm, which is
well developed. The boy had ta
kened bread with him, and was
feeding the snake, which at inter
vals would stick a 111 go tongue out
as if hissing formo:-e to eat. Then
it would coil itself aroud the neck
and body of the hoy, and play with
its moutli and neck with the boy’s
h ind. The father had often heart
of snakes charming cbilden, anc
that if they were disturbed while
they were in the act, they would
kill the child.
As the father turned to leave
his boy with his deadly compan
ion, he turned back, and the snake
hearing a noise, at once uncoiled
itself and raised i.s body atleast
four leet from the rock and looked
in all directions, and then it re
turned|to the boy’s lap, and the fa
ther returned home, and awaited
the boy’s return, which was, as usu
al, at noon. When told that he
had been playing with the snake,
the boy said the first morning he
met the snake he lilced to pi a)’
with it; then he took it food, and
he was so well pleased with his
companion that something told him
that he must meet the snake every
morning. One morning he said lie
was late, and when he reached the
place the snake was standing up,
and it came out to meet him, then
followed him to the rock. There
is something very strange about
a snake charming not only child
ren, but I have read of adults com
ing under their charms.
There is certainly some truth in
the facinating powers of snakes.
On Saturday morning tho father
and two of his neighbors went to
the place with guns, and at the
usual time the Jsnake made its ap
pearance wheu all fired at one time
killing the charmer.
An old newspaper gives the fol
lowing as a scrap of history.
In the year 1784, the Legisloture
of Pennsylvania, to abolish a practice
then prevailing, passed the following
resolution after considerable opposi
tion,—
“That hereafter no member shall,
come Into the chamber barefooted,
nor eat his bread and cheese on the
steps of the Capitol.
In the flushed times of New Or
leans a mule and dray have been
known to bring fifty thonsand dol
lars in gold, but it is not to be in
ferred they sold for that.

The master, lie said was a first-rate
fellow, and then he had dismissed
the scholars lately at 9:30 o’cloek

a good laugh, he manage to explian
that one of the boys had put a piece

sent the mercury down to forty ,and
the master thought the room was
not warm enough to remain in.
And the way the old gentleman
