DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, APRIL l5 1875.
The Next Presidency,

The Next Presidency.
 On his return through Georgis from New Hampshire, Hon. l.. Q IC. Lamar, of Mis- issippi, was in terviewcd by a reporter of the At I lanta Herald. who sought his
 views as to the line of policy to bt pursued by the democracy dur
 ing the next canvass for the presidency. Mir. Lamar saic
 there was no doubt that a majori
 ty of the people are opposed tt 1 the present administration, but this opposition is not composed
 entirely of democrats. He be- Iieved such q man as Judge Da-
 wis, of Illinoise, or Charles Fran
 cis Adams, of Massachusetts,, il
 nominated by the democrats,
 could be elected. He expressed the belief, also, that Mir. Blaine
 might be elected by the same in huences. He was decidedly of
 the opinion that Gen. Grant would
 be renominated fu,. a thlrd term. It is a littla too far off just now to speculate as to what policy the democracy should pursue. With the lights of 1872 before us, we
 would hesitate long before con senting to support any other than la pronounced democrat. With our Greedy and Brown and Brooks experiences, we are by no means enamored of these mixed combi nations. We observe that the Memphis Appeal takes a decided stand against any repetition of the policy adopted in 1872. Be fore consenting to it we would certainly have to be convinced of it's correctness by good deal stronger argument than that used by Mir. Lamar.
 There seems to be growing disposition to give the south proper the second place on the ticket. This is certainly but just and right. The south is expected to furnish over half the electoral votes, and should at least be en- titled to the second, if not the first place. For the position of vice president we have observed but two names mentioned so far, those of Gov. Garland, of Arkan- sas, and Senator Gordon, of Geor gia, with the chances decidedly favorable to Garland. He stands a head and shoulders above any of the prominent southern men, in the estimation of the people, not only south, but throughout the country. He is a representa- tive southern man, and with some representive northern man at the head of the ticket as unCbjectiona- he and as popular as Garland, we have no doubt Grant can and will be defeated. The liberal republi- cans cannot support the latter, but they can unite in supporting a liberal, progressive ticket put out by the democrats.
 The above is from the Little Rock Gazette. What is said about Gov. Garland in connection with the vice-presidency meets our hearty appreciation. There can be no good reason why Ar kansas should not be entitled to the second place on the next pres ldential ticket; and surely no more suitable man could be se- ected than Gov. A. H. Garland.

INDUSTRY ON THE FARM.

us to be the surest and best pre-
 ventive against a re-occurrence 0
 our present distressing condition
 The cause, to put it plain, wt
 conceive to be nothing short o
 indolence, and want of energy ano
 industry on the part of the farm
 CT. Farming, like every other oc
 cupation which a man can follow
 to make it profitable, must have
 the whole of a mans attention and
 study. There must be no hali
 way work about it. There is not
 industry and energy enough on
 the farm. There are too many
 days idled away. AS a general
 rule most of our small farmers
 work about four to six months in
 the year and idle away the other
 six. They will go to work in the
 spring and work perhaps we'll
 enough until they get their ground
 broke up and planted, then he takes rest for a few months un- til his crop is ready to gather. If there is no drouth and he has the "good luck" to make any crop he pitches in when it is ripe and gathers it. His work is then done, he has perhaps put in six six months labor and now he goes into winter quarters and lies dor mant until spring. Now this won't do for farming. There must be more work. We know of little, weak, one-horse farmers in OUT county who have by their own industry and hard work made themselves in easy circumstances out of debt and plenty to go on since the war, without any help. We know of others who owned good farms when the war ended and they come back home, who have not made the least jot of pro- gress but have on the contrary become largely involved in debt. The difference is, one works, puts in all his time and saves what he makes, and the other don't. The plea of "bad crop year," "drouth," &c., is poor excuse. The farm CT who will work and manage with anything like prudence, need never be thrown on the mercy of the merchant, or the charity of the community. We hope our farmers will take warn- ing by the last years experience. Work hard this year put in plenty of wheat, corn, potatoes, turnips, and make sure of your provisions for at least one whole year, and have some to carry over to next year, or to sell to your friends who are non-producers. Then if a l drouth does come next year it will not find you without bread, meat or feed for stock. Look | ahead little; get out of the old | ruts; make an effort not to make | just enough to worry through with, but make enough to set yon ahead some every year. If we could get our farmers 10 do this, we would not have such times as we have now, another year. What l do our farmers say? Will they | let industry, hard work and fru- gality take the place of laziness, about and wastefulness on the farm, for the sake of bringing about period of profit and prosperity to the country. If they will theirs will be the re- ward.

A Live "Beat"

An individual by the name of Jones, B. H. we believe is the kind of handle he puts to his name, is travelling around in this State, passing himself of as an Odd Fellow, and a member of Mountain Lodge, No 15, of this city, and drawing on members of the Order for small amounts of money. This fellow is a liar and fraud; he don't belong to the Lodge in this city, nor did he ever belong to it; in fact, the Lodge here don't know Jones, only from several notifications it has received from different points where he had passed himself off as member of the same. If Jones is an Odd Fellow, he must be an expelled member, and we warn the Brotherhood to have nothing to do with this degener- ate son of the Jones family.
 Papers friendly to the Order of Odd Fellows will please give this particular Jones a "lift. ."- Fay etteville Democrat.

Albert w. Paine:

II Is worm m While to note what the want inn
pies The times are ont of Joint, business de.
pressed and things generally unsatisfactory
and change is desired. But will change of
republican administration for Democratic
one cure this evil, and, if so, how? A mere

suppose that system that would give our me-
chanics and manufacturers, our shipbuilders
ana artisans more work to do would directly
promote the object. That in reality is what IS
man,ed, 1 ior agricultural pursuits are now be-
yond all precedent productive. The only way
10 accomplish this work most effe:tually is, of
coarse TO adopt such system of protection to
our labor as will keep it free from the un-
neaitny competition with tbe cheap labor OF
other Countries But the universally accepted
doctrine of free trade of the Democratic party
shuts us out from all hope from this source.
The only other method of accomplishing the
object is to bring about reform OF our none
taTy affairs by bringing back our deprecated
currency to the sound currency OF gold. But
though the party in Maine profess to want
this, yet they desire first of all the success of
the initiation party of Ohio aud other Western
states The mere fact that the party in these
two states are fighting this campaign on direct

blatant confession that all their talk means
nothing.
