BEFORE ADJOUR: M NT AND
AFTER DRINKS.
Mr. Speaker—l rise to remark
That things have got to the turn
Whar this legislature must pause—
And wait for a motion to adjourn!
But a-fore we let go of the ruddei
And git our per diem, in hand
1 want to explain my posishun
The wharfore and wharon I stand !
[Loud applause in the gallery ]
I’m goin’ back borne to my people
To give in a fa’r, squar account,
And tell ’em we’ve ansurred their pray’rs
To a sartin, specific amount !
1 don’t know what others may do, sir,
To balance both sides of their books—
I’m runnin’ a dead level skedyule—
And you must run on your own hooks !
[Cheers from the members.]
We’ve fixed up a thing about homesteads—
We’ve perfected the laborer’s bread—
Crooked the lii.es of fifty odd counties
And knocked the con. con. on the head !
We've spent enough money on dog bills
To buy all the sheep in the State—
And made a dead set at the bureaux
That it took long years to create.
[Croans fiom the gentleman from Banks.]
We’ve sat forty days and some over,
And tit i.ere and wasted our breath,
While the people at home are sweating
Under taxes that grind ’em to death !
We’ve tinkered and patched at ihc Code
s Till it’s worse than no code at all—
And piled up more acts on the desk thar
Than were writ by the good ’Postle Paul!
[Loudapplause in the lobbies.]
And now, sir, I want it recorded,
That I’m sick o’ this here soi t o’ tiling,
And 1 want the good people of Georgia
To speak out with the old time ring!
We rnus, reduce ourselves down to hard pan,
And Earn to be wise and go slow—
We must work for the State as we used to,
So lie years—forty-odd, say ago!

ricultural t'oiiveution at Bruns.
Hick, Ga-, Tuesday, February
17th. 1870.
Gentlemen of the Convention , and FcL
low*Citizens :
It would atl'o'd me a profound satis
faction to be able to congratulate you on
this'occa ion of our se meeting,
up‘Ui the happy condition of the State
and of our peculiar interests. For
much the larger portion of the life of
every member oi this body, wo have
been accustomed to regard the normal
condition of our j eople to be that of
pecuniary independence. Till a short
time ago, it never occurred to our mind
that any danger could ever exist in
this land of superabundance, that men
sii uid be oppressed with anxious con
corn aLout the necessities of life. Such
a thing as wide spread scarceity we uev
cr dreamed of —lor tluu was never in
cluded among the possibilities of cur
Society. Coma erciul aud financial af
fairs might bec'cme critical or deranged
—but w ere not the underlying fort ues
and interests of our agriculture invati
liabfy secure, and in these was we not
always insured '( As an agricultural
people we had the amplest guarantees
of success. Our staple pn ductions were
of rare value. The world were forced
tj take them of us and our labor which
produced them was in the most material
particulars the best organized and most
variable which was ever controlled* by
man. But alas, how changed are all
the fuels of our previous history
Strong men a>x* now bowed before the
trials of their condition, and every
where and all around us we see anxiety
and care in the ‘shadowed vistge of a
once happy and independent people.—
Though "we are perplexed we ;re not
in despair,” and though “cast down, we
are nut destroyed ” Apathy and ir
resolution must not follow upon the
footsteps of an evil fortune an i confirm
the late v hiedx untoward events it would
seem h .and decreed. Courage, my friends,
should be the pass- word, and a manly'
ly purpose, to continue to struggle until
we recover our lost ground should brace
every Georgian fir the noble work ol
restoration. But uiy friends, let us deal
fairly with each other. Providential
visitations have not along afflicted us —
the injuries w hich we have suffered from
external violence and wrong are not the
only dama t e which has fallen upou us.
A-' your presiding officer I have on a
previ ms occasion offered a plea in be
half of our di.-abled and discouraged
agrieul ure, which was founded upou
the unexampled losses and revolutions
which the entire South suffered iu the
late calamitous war.
It would, indeed, be asking for a sim
per human amount of energy —resource
and wislorn in our people, to hive no
where around us the signs of the awfui
ravage and convulsions which lately
shook the very foundations of our so
cie y. Our hopeful* stvugglj against
appaling losses —our energy our indus
try aud will, have been beyond ail
praise, and we do believe we may say,
beyond all example. Aud to the over
throw ef our system of labor aud ,He
Truth Conquers All Things.”
actual obliteration of property by the
civil conflict, we have no doubt we may
most reasonably ascribe much of the
discouragement which now afflicts us.
But admitting all this, are we blame
less ? Is no reproach due us, for the
speculative spirit which we have suffer
cd to enter our pursuit ? Have we
proved ourselves to be of that conserv
ative class which was willing ‘‘to hold
fast to that which was good,” while
others were ‘‘trying all things ?” Let
us be truthful,und admit that while we
have “hastened to be rich” w’e have
thereby “pierced ourselves through with
many sorrows.” It does seem that the
natural condition of the farmer is to
lead a life of pains taking labor, in
which no sudden or extreme results
should ever be looked for.
But the compensation for this stern
condition is solid and suie independence.
If no ambitious love of glitter and dis
play is tolerated by the austere require
ments of our life as farmers, we yet may
hope for those genuine returns in the
fruits of our labors which carry most
comfort to the human breast. Whose
home should more abound in the joys of
peace and unrestricted abundance than
ours ? \\ hat better nurseries of manlv
self reliance and impregnable m< ml
principal than our modest farms ? Fur
uch a life as this, for the immovable
status of the sturdy soul that is planted
firmly on its own fat acres, who would
not be willing to move slowly
on and to “watch and
wait ?” To be deaf to the cry of “hard
times” and the rate per cent, of loar.cd
money, who would not be willing to
meet the toil of the farmer ? To be
dumb to the outcry of anguish, such as
the overburdened heart of the debtor
must tell, who would not covet the life
off ugality and restriction which our
Un tunes impose on us ?
Idy friends, let not the false glitter of
speculative pu’suits blind us to the
great truth that to our slow, but sure,
progress in working out our fortunes
depends the wealth, and indeed, the
very existence of society. But our
routine is a fixed one ihe conditions of
success are inex (ruble. A theme which
embraces the vast and vital interests
and well-being of so large a class of tr.e
agriculturists of Georgia involves a
“high argument” indeed. No intellect
should essay its discussion without dis
trust and many misgiving?—hut no
head or heart in the land should refuse
its tribute of aid or sympathy. No one
certainly of all our number can be more
conscious than be who addresses you of
the inadequacy of his powers to meet
the great questions which arise out of
the dejected state of our agricultural
interests. But I may say without pre
sumption, that it would be imposs ble
for any one to feel more painfully con
seemed than I do i t the condition of
the country, or to be more ready to do
his best for its improvement. If f were
asked for suggestions bearing upon the
subject before us I should compendi
ously state them and say we must have
steady sjstemizod labor—strict economy
and personal oversight in our business
as the indispeusa de conditions of suc
cess. Th ere can be no escape from !
these conditions if we hope for the lot
of the independent and happy tiller of
the soil. Let me be indulged in a feft
thoughts upon each of these topics. If
we observe the lmbus of Lminess so to
speak, of every other profession and
pursuit into which our laboring world is
divided, we cannot fail to remaik among
th.e very first trails, that there has been
a system revised fur controlling labor
and that this system is insisted on as
vital to success. \\ hat would become
of an army without an inflexible adher
ance to a system ■ How long would
the merchants last without it, or the
success oi a print establishment ?
Nut a manufacturing or mining interest
could exist without hours and tasks,
and waste and profiit and loss were all
strictly noted. Indeed all true and sol
id busine.-s men’s success mainly
depend upon a wise cc >n;miy of time
aud morn-y In adhering to this vital 1
principle il lias not frequently happened !
that an entire outfit of appliances in a
manufacturing bus.ness lias been dis
carded to make place for newer and bet
ter devices, and for this alone. Compe
tition and true economy made this sac
rifice a necessity Lave we gentlemen,
even in our experience as agriculturists
observed that cur business has been
conducted upon any such true working
system 't iUw many of us are picpared to
speak with any certainty of the costs of
our 1 .st crops l It is plain to and > this
we must Have, in a degree, imitated the
example of other callingis which regard
thorough system as indispensable. What
a lesson is taugat us by the contrast! —
If so large a per c.uitage of mercantile
enterprises fail with ad this particular
ity and exactness in business detai’s.
and so few p anting or rather farming
eet u pri-es fail, even without care, how
well g satisffed ought we to feel at the pos
sibilities ol‘ our condition.
Never was there opened up to a la
boring world a better insured, a more
hopeful enterprise than farming in
Georgia, if directed by the same ener
ey and vise oversight that, as a matter
of course, are bestowed upon any other
avocation. But we hope to succeed,
or at least a large mnjoiity of us do even
though we violate or disregard all true
business rule. What might we not ex
pect of the yearly agricultural experi
ence and effort of this great State.
If every farmer and planter in it kept
a set of books, io which was noted the
vshole routine of business, with an exact
-tatement of our gains and our losses?
Do we then exaggerate the value of
steady and systemized labor iu the farm
ers life ?
But if these busy trials in the farm
er are recessarv to a successful career,
if we must labor and do so by a system
and steadily, the fruits of our labor
must not bo dissipated in wastefulness
or unwise consumption. Our observa
tion is, that it requires great wisdom to
apply to fit and proper uses money hand
What to do with it is hardly a less diffi
problem than how shall I get it. What
labor has it ever been to the mind i‘hat
watches over tljj well being of a State
to proportion expenditures to income—
to provide what may be necessary and
convenient while superfluities were es
chewed—and is not the true secret of
the ever recurring difference we see
everywhere around us in success to un
thriftiness or want of industry. Let
nothing bo wasted, was the injunction
of the divine Master, and at the very
time that hij miraculous power fed thou
sands from a mere morsel. If a busi
ness relying for life on steady and legi
timate profits must surely wither and
perish under the pressure of an excess
ive usury, so will that farmer’s business
carry a crushing burden if a wise econ
omy does not preside over every thing.
And the underlying maxim in the en
tire management should be “ let noth
ing he buught. which, with reasonable
care and labor, can be made at home.”
W hy do a farmer’s figures so often
prevaricate if they escape lying? Whj
is it that the shrewdes calculator of utii
number who is always demonstrating by
figures on paper, that it is cheayer to
buy meat with cotton at 15 cents pm
pound than it wobld to taise it. hardly
ever has any meat, or the cotton to ex
change lor it ? It is a deceitful fallacy
for a farmer on his own soil to refuse to
produce a needful thing in hi? current
consumption because by an assumed
calculation of the value of time, this
thing would cost more than it is worth
Has not such delusive arithmetic a?
this, almost bauished the loom and the
sheep from thousands off rms in Geor
gia, and hit us to the precarious and
slender substitutes which men who wif
hold us in vassalage supply ? Ever l ,
iurtii in Georgia is a little empire in it
self, and it can no more violate the con
ditions under which a commonwealth
must live and thrive, than can largei
and more august civil organizations.
