2 Weekly Star DOUGLAs CoVNTY OFFIC A’. ordaN- - 4 ' . .'T' - —— Jt takes tight bundn d full-hb'wn to table-spoonful of per fume. It is said that fully one-half of the adult men living in thecitiesof Amer ica are bald-headed. There tire 1600 colored school teachers in the booth. There are over 300,060 Knights of Labor in the United States. Mr. Sam Small, the evangelist,will have to keep a sharp look' ut on bitu self if he wants to preserve his rep utation as a good man- The Cincin nati Enquirer s-iys that he recently deposited at a bank a roll o» green backs, in the middle of which were Several pool checks “ good for sc, at the bar,” The evident intention of the Enquirer was to create the im piession that Mr. Small bad been playing pool, but anyone who t! inks a moment about the matter will see, that the pool checks were put into the collection basket by wicked young me*, and in that way got into Mr. Small’s pocket. TWO ’ DimCUKTIES. To the material advancement of the whole country there are two small little troubles. The prosperity of the country is measured by the prosperity of the farmers. The old adage reads, “take care of the dimes and the dol lars will take care of thetu> elves. ’ If the farmer would pay inoroatten* tion to the small vegetable farm, .the poultry,the extra Few pounds of butter-&C. and turn al! these into cash, the difference made in one year would almost settle all the debts. There would be given a market for home products and by so doing the great bills of family groceries would malermHy diminish and the money would be kept at hom«*. Our merchants should encourage the es tablishment of (Sinning factories, and the growing-and marketing all kinds of firmtaoe. The farmer should always be ready to convert his was ting produce into cash. There are two small troubles in the way of reaching this result. First; Ther are winy yea, nearly all of (he far* nW who do. not want to carry a bushel of p *as, potatoes, beaus oni ons or anything to town tosell, They ohjwct to being in town with a slew dozen eggs.or a pou id or two of buttei, This is all wrong and is the broad open rotd to want. '1 his is one thing that impoverishes the -Bmitheri) farmer. Mis pride is big er than his exercise of pjdgmnen*. This pride will not alk.w him to •carry chickens, melons, eggs, fruit ■or anything else to town to peddle out. The not them farmer has tacoine rich by jus; such management. He owes nothing. Ile owns his lands, lias a fine residency line barns, slock houses,silver mounted harness and easy carri*goß. Why is this dis. fer nee? Simply because th Ay lo*>k ■out for the small items and convert all these extrasot ho in ecousu mption into cash. Secondly. We Hud in this (lay a great desiie in the young men to.run t > town and becime lawyers doctors, preachers and clerks. The country is simply overun with pro >ft»sio»mh.

Vi ithou’u taki: g notes of the pro® ceedings of the convention at Car te rsvilb ,we will, from memory, try to enlighten our readers to the extent of our own enlightenment upon suh jecU of interest, entertained by the convention, going the dry’ details ->f rou ine I udness to the bigdailies. When we reached the fl >or of the convention, the delegates were at tentively listening to an address of welcome from Dr. W. H. Felton, during the delivery of which, the honest sentiments plainly end fearlessly ex- preesed,struck sympathetic chords in the bosoms ot his hearers, as was evidenced by the frequent rounds of applause in response, and the cli max was reached as he with the mas terly skirl of an artistic word paint er, drew a glowing and truthful picture of an Independent farmer’s home. This address was responded to on the part of the organization by Mr Nisbet, (we believe,) of Macon, fol lowed by the usual address of Pres. Livingston, duiing the delivery of which he incidentally remarked, in speaking of the general state of un rest pervading the ranks of all in dustrial people,—that, if the Knights of Labor, through their organiza tion, were s.eking to better their condition through peaceful and law ful n eans, be (the President) bid them God speed—This humane ut terance sermed to have the effect oi an exploding 1 omb, upon a few, in side of the rail, while the plow hold ers, who occupied the back seats, generally applauded; and it was soon very evident that questions of political economy, as it relates to the agricultural, and consequently nil interest, would supercede ques tions of Farm or Domestic economy and so it pro veil. Soon a s«t of res olutions censuring the Presidtni, or regarded by a majority of the con vention as a censor*', were rear! ai.d overwhelmingly voted lo lie on thr table, bat like Bancos ghost, they wquld noL down, until were everlastingly put down, which hap pened later. During experience me-tings near ly every speaker,’ notvilhstanding a few were constantly btiiving lo throw act blankets on the discussion of this subject, would diift into the current,noZe«s expressions of a ppi oval of liberal and fraternal feelings towards other bodies of or ganized labor, showed beyond a doubt, the fact that Georgia’s grand organization of agricultural laliorers are iu sympathy with their kindred, Knights of Labor. The address upon the subject of the relations between capital and la bor, by 8 11. Bassett, of Fort Valley, was a masterly effort; in the main lilwral., and altogether oonservaiive. showing deep res .’arch iato the true springs and fountain heads of cor rect information, from which—in most oMMfs—logical deduct ions* were drawn. Ills speech will probably be published aud will be instructive and entertaining reading for farmers, od or young. Mr. 8., himself, is a noble example of young Georgia farmer, before whom we think we sect % bright and honorable future. Upon the subject of farming we learn ed b yond dispute, that a new and generally approved cow pea—called the unknown pea—has lately been developed in Hancock county. The subject of co-opperatiou in buying fertilizer! and farm supplies was more freely discussed than any oth er, except the.labor question, and generally in favor of co-opperstive buying, tho* the opposite position was maintained by one person who, as it appeared from his remark’, was a guano agent, which to my miud ac counted for the milk in his cocoaaut. Then again cam sup the K. of L resolutions which in the minds of the delegates, had resolved itself in to a question something Hke this; Shadthie labor Organisation put its sea! of condemnation, or of, ap proval upon kindied organizations of Lal>or? A vole was obtained, and iheßvtodimons werestrongly rejected The qivedon again croped out, in the election for oiScer-', some at tempt being made to prejudice deie ga«*M agaiust President Livingston by over zealous friends of Mr. Nor thern, This attempt proved a buomv’aug. sad Pres, Livingston was elected by such a large majori ty that it was made unanimous, af ter which some routine business was transacted and the convention was practically at an end. The citizens of Cartersville fairly exceeded thein srlves in showering attention and hospitality upon the <Lleg:if :s, and the delegates duly appreciated it- OUR PUBKIC ROADS. All over the county need work. Much complaint is heard about bad roads and the apparent negligence and indifference displayed by the of ficers and overseers. Let us say that the disposition to allow the roads to go without work is entirely too po tent. When we see good roads and safe bridges and public crossings we are assured that the people are an enlightened, progressive and wide a wake people. The roads indicate the kind of people living along them I and they index the interest manifest ed for the public welfare. Good roads cause a kind feeling and an ex pression of interest to go out from the observer to the people. A Newspaper Postal Law. The latest postal law decision is to the effect that publishers of newspa pers can, und r the law, arreit any man for fraud who takes a paperand refuses to pay for it- Ui.der this law it is a dangerous trick fin- a man to allow his subscription to run on for six month' to a year and a half un paid and then tell the post master to mark it “refused,” or send the edi tor a postal card to discontinue the pujKT. —Ex. Ah to Col, Hammond’s future we have not been advised, but it affords us pleasure to say that an abler law yer, purer.gentleman or more up right citizen never lived in the State, and if he should return to the full practice ol the law, will ably honor thnt profession a» he has already dore in the past.

Permanently Cured by y HRQEMH Preamble and Declaration of Prin ciples of the Knights of afccr of xnerica. From the tenor of a large propor tion of inquiries, the impression has gone abroad that the Knights of La bor is a political organization, to last through a campaigh, or something of that sort. If any one joins the Order under this impression he is mistak en. The alarming development ana aggressiveness of great capitalists and corporations, unless checked, win inevitably lead to the pauperization and ho]>eles.s degradation of the toiling masses. It is imperative, if we desire to enjoy the full blessings of lite, that a check be placed upon unjust accumulation, and the power for evil of aggregated wealth. This much desired object can be accomplished only by the united efforts of those who obey the divine injunction, “In the sweat of thy face Shalt thou eat bread." a'heiefore.we have formed the order of Kuigh; s of labor, for the purpose of organizing and direc ting the power of the industrial masses, not as a political party, for it is more—in it are crysta clzed sentiments and measures for the benefit of the whole people, but it should be borne in mind when exercising the right of suffrage that most of the objects herein set forth can only be obtained through legislation, and that it is the duty of all to assist in nominating and supporting with their votes only such canididates as will pledge their support to those measures, regard less of partv. But no one shall, however, be compelled to vote with the majority, and calling upon all who believe in securing “the greatest good to the greatest number," to join and assist us, we declare to the world that our aims are- I. To make industrial and moral worth, not wealth, the true standard of individual and Na tional greatness. . ‘ To secure to the workers the full enjoyment ,of the - S4lth they create, sufficient leisure in which to uevelop their intellectual, moral and social faculties: all of the benefits, recreation and pleasure of association, in a word, to enSbie them to share in the gains and honors of ad vancing civilization. In order to secure these results, we demand at the hands of the STATE. , ill. The establishment ot Bureaus of Labor Sta tistics, that we may arrive at a correct knowledge of the educational, moral and financial condition of the laboring masses IV’, That tho public lands, the heritage of the people, be reserved for actual settlors, not an other acre for railroads or speculators, and that all lands now held for sjteculative puaposea be taxed to their full value. V. Tho abrocation of all laws that do not bear equally upon capital and labor, and the removal of Unjust te, liiii,<>alit'>‘s, delays ' ■ <• d'-'.nimiuu tiors iu tins ;.<biiinistrati><n of justice. a VI.

The recognition, by incorporation, of trades* unions, orders and such other associations as may be orgunized by the working masses to improve their condition and protect their rights. VIII. The enactment of laws 6e' compel eoipo ations to pav their employees weekly, in lawful money, tor the laborer the proceeding week, and giving mechanics and laborers a Hen upon the product oi their labor to the extent Os their full W l& € ."Tbe abolition of the cotraet system on Na ional.

The prohibition by law of the employment of children under 15 years of age iu workshops mines and factories. XII. To prohibit the hiring out of envict labor. XIII That a graduated inconfe tax be levied. And we demand at the hands of Congress. X IV’. The establishment of a National mone tary system, in which a circulating medium in necessary quantity shall issue direct to the i»eo ple, without the intervention of banks, that all the National issue shall be full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, ami that the Government shall not guarantee or re cognize any private banks 4 or create any bunk ing corporations. XV. That interest-bearing bonds, bills of credit or notes shall never be issued by the Gov ernment, but that* when need arises, the emer gency shall be met by Issue of legal tender, noti- Inlerest-bcaring money. XVI. That the importation of foreign labor under contract l<e prohibited. XVTI. That, in connection with the post-oil ale, the Government shall organize financial ex hetmges, safe deposits and facilities for deposit of the savio rs ot the iwople in small sums. XVJII.
