Words of Wisdom from a States
man..

At the late Clayton County (Ga.,
Fair, Hon. B. H. Hill delivered an
excellent address on Southern Politics.
and in the course Of his remarks
spoke as follows:
Now, 1 affirm, it is cheaper for you
to raise your own provisions than to
have them brought from the West,
and given to you at the nearest depot
free Of all cost and charges How is
this =? In the first place, if we raise five
millions Of bales of cotton, we will
get no more money foi them than we
would get for half that number. Then,
out of the same amount realized you
pay for raising the five millions, Just
double cost of production Half the
the labor and supplies employed in
raising supplies without reducing the
value of the cotton crop one dollar.
But half this labor would raise more
than you needed for supplies. You
could employ much Of it, also, in en-
ricnng your lands, and improving
your property in many ways. Then
you would come to the end Of the
year with your. cribs full of corn,
your smoke-houses full of meat, your
family full Of smiles, yourselves full
of independence, and your pockets
full of money for uavestmcnt And
how would you invest it? In cotton
factories on the waterfalls which God
sent all through your country to run
spindles. This would make you in
dependent Of Old England and New
England. Then, also, you would
mine your own iron and make your
own implements of 'husbandry, and
this would make you independent of
Pennsylvania foundries and Massa-
chusetts workshops. In a word, every
improvement would be built up in
your own country, and all the profits
of those improvements would go into
your own pockets.
Go on as you are'now going, ma.
king cotton your chief crop and
slavery is the door ~"nr children

"Tax-Payer" To Mr.. II. Strom

For the Advertiser.

Mr.. EDITOR Please give me a
space in your columns to say a word
to Mr.. q. Strom, Chairman County
Commissioners, by way of some en-
quiry concerning the Public High
waysand'Bridgeso sof Edge6eld County.
lst, Let me enquire of him about
the bridge across Stevens Greek, on
Long Cane road, near DR.. D. c. Tomp-
kins'. What has become of said
bridge? I learn that it has been
hauled away BY some one. With a
little repair it could have been made
passable. But it is gone; some say
that it was taken away because it was
not paid for.
I would enquire, secondly, what
has become Of the bridge across
Sleepy Creek, on New-Cut road. l
learn that it is also gone. I think if
you will make strict search you can
find out all about them both, and the
parties who went there and took
them away. Icontend that it isyour
duty to ferret out this matter, and
bring the parties that are guilty to
justice.
I also enquire in the third place,
That if you allow such conduct. such

Beath from Cholera.

Mr.. w. n. Carson, Of Greeneville,
formerly of Morristown, died of chol-
era, at the residence of his father-in-
law, S. L. Hufmaster, Esq, in this
place, on Friday night last. Mr..
Carson was attacked with Fremont
tory symptoms of cholera on the
Friday preceding his death, but be-
ing in charge of the Depot and Ex-
press Office at Greeneville, he kept
up and continued business until the
following Wednesday evening, when
he came to this place on the night
train, and was Immediately prostra-
ted by the fatal disease which soon
produced his death. 1t is the
opinion of the physicians who
waited on Mr.. c., that had he called
in medical aid when first threatened,
and quit work. the disease might have
been arrested and his life, perhaps,
saved.

we attribute to the use of the water.
Respectfully, JNo. L. DIVINE.
When we remember that the use
of bad water is said to be one of the
chief causes of cholera, it is well to
take this matter into consideration.
The medicinal properties of the wa

would advise all who find it impos-
sible to visit the Springs, to send

When we see such revelations as
have been made in Washington du-
ring the past winter. we are natural
ly forced to conclude that these

the vast harvest of corruption that

feels keen desire to get at the facts
of this terrible and intensely-inter-
esting history. The author carries

the great political drama of onr gov

vital interests of the country, strip

He introduces us into the White
