Public Roads.

'You shall diligently inquire into
and true presentments make of all
such matters and things that shall
come to your knowledge as may be
given you in charge by the court"
You are aware that this is part of
the oath Gn substancey that is taken
by Grand Juror At the May term,
1882, of Terrell Superior Court, sew
eral of the public roads in the comfy
were reported to the Grand Jury as
being in bad order. The Grand Jury
rather than to present any one to the
Court for neglect of duty, had all
the Road Commissioners in the coun-
ty summoned to appear before the
body and 1 think every one of the
Commissioners made a solemn prom
Use, that if the Grand Jury would
not present them TO the Court, that
they would, as soon as practicable,
put the roads in good order. Did
they do as they promised? AT the
May term, 1888, the roads were again
reported in bad condition, Chat is
portion of them.) The same prom
Use was made by some of the Commits
sioners, and the same leniency was
granted to them by the Grand Jury.
Now, ask, will the next Grand
Jury disregard their oaths and the
charge of the Court, or will the Road
Commissioners of the county dis
charge their duty and have the pub
lie roads of the county put in good
condition, or will they suffer the next
Grand Jury to have the painful me-
cessity of either presenting the Road
Commissioners to the Court, or dis
regarding the oaths they may take as
Grand Jurors?
As one of the Grand Jurors for
the November term, 1888, I would
humbly request the Road Commits
sioners in the county to attend to
this matter for fear that the same
leniency may not be granted to them
at the next term Of the court.

How We live.

We live every year, one after the
other, as If we were trying to con-
vert everything possible into money
with view of getting away-mov-
ing to some other country or place.
Instead of improving and identifying
our homes-making rich our farms
by a judicious and permanent sys-
tenn of fertilizing-concentratingo our
means in order to make grand the
effort, we scatter and splatter about
as if trying to grasp and cover more
than we are able to reach at all. If a
man has farm of one hundred acres
let him be content to make it rich and
build him a home upon it that will
furnish comforts to be sought rather
than shadows which are hollow and
bare. Our people live in too great a
hurry. They want to see the very
earth moving under their feet, and in
their haste to get rich they become
embittered by the subsequent failures
and disappointments which are al
most sure to follow. Because they
have not made thousand, instead of
hundred, they become disgruntIed
and feel like chuuking it away as a
matter of spite rather than see il
safely fastened upon their homes and
farms in the way of betterments.-
Such spirit is extremely oulpable
and one unworthy of true and no.
BILE manhood. Let our farmers turn
over a new leaf and begin to live IS
if they expected to remain at the
same place at least for few years
any how.

Furman's Farm.

In an outside column of this issue
will be found short statement as to
the condition and prospect of Fur
mans sixty acre farm this year. 1t
has been visited recently by couple
of reliable farmers and they report
that ON his sixty acres Mr.. Furman
will make 125 bales of cotton of
average weight. It WILDE remem-
bered, last year on the same piece of
land, he made 95 bales. Our pur-
pose in calling attention to this is to
show what can be accomplished by
the intensive system of farming, and
we believe the sooner that our people
make up their minds 10 adopt it the
better for them and the country. In
this connexion we copy a short ex-'
tract from the Constitution upon the
same line:
I'VE have no doubt there are many
farmers in Georgia tired of hearing of
the intensive or intensified" system
of farming, but in spite of this it is
the only system that is worth consid-
ering in connection with the millions
of acres of worn out cotton lands to
be found in Georgia. 1t is probably
true that many farmers who have ex
perimented with the intensive system
have made partial or complete fail
ures. 1t is very difficult in such cas-
es to convince either those who fail
or their friends that the failure is due
to the men themselves and not to the
system. The intensive system is no
more valuble than any other system
unless it is carried on
on with intelligence. Judge Furman
has discovered the particular food
that cotton requires on his particular
land. Any other farmer, by the exer-
else of a little patience and intelli-
gence, can do the same thing.
After all, farming is pretty much
like other pursuits. Those who pur-
sue it intelligently will succeed, while
those who pursue it in the old-fash-
Toned way viii always remain in
comparative poverty"

New Methods.

What the farmers of Terrell need
most is to invest their surplus earn
ings from year to year in permanent
improvements. Decide to locate
and live where you are divest your
minds of the thought of doing better
by changing about every year or two,
remembering that rolling stone
gathers no moss. When you have
selected a piece of land upon which
you are willing to settle and live for
life, let the all-controiing motive be,
make it home worthy of your indus
try and labor. Make every improve
ment a permanent one, and away
with the idea ofpatch work. Where
you now build a shelter, instead,
build barn and build it, too, as if
you expected your children TO use it
after you in the generations to come.
If your home is not what you would
have it, then, put every spare dollar
upon it from year to year until it be.
come model of beauty and comfort.
INSTEAD of doing out your fertilizers
upon a hundred or more acres let
them be applied to half that number
In short, les your resources be con-
Centrated-let them be applied with
skill and intensity, and let the matter
not lack in the element OF personal
supervision. The one great cause of
SO many failures upon the part of
cur farmers is that they are too in
dolsnt and lazy to give their person
al attention to matters OF high con-
Germ Incidence is habit, and by
persistent effort you can shake it off I;
and you must either decide to do
this, or live on in poverty and want.
Bestir yourselves, then, like men and
determine to inaugurate new era in
the history of your methods of farm
ing in this country. Instead of vast
ing your now scanty earnings, or
boarding them deep, down in the
pocket, let them be applied upon
your homes and farms in the way of
wise and permanent improvements.

Dr. HaygOOd and the Negro.
DIR. Atticus G. Haygood, pre-

DIR. Atticus G. Haygood, presi-
dent of Emory college, is making
himself peculiarly odious to the south
ern people, everywhere, by assuming
TO be champion of what is known as
negro education. Not content with
having written a book, Our Brother
In Black opening up his offensive
line of thought, he caves his home,
goes North, where his views are met
with more consideration, and, here,
he takes the stump, and declares in
no unmistakable terms that the negro
must be educated. It would seem
from the ardor andl enthusiasm with
which DIR. Haygood sticks to his text
/. that he feels himself, above all others,
divinely commissioned to under
take this work 1t may be however,
and doubtless is true, that the Doc
tors large salary, both as president
of the Slater fund and lecturer, has
much to do with his love for the dar
key. Dlvest him Of this and we
doubt not that his ardor would cool
down many degrees in as many days.
OF one thing there can be no doubt,
DR. Haygood is well paid both for his
time and speeches. If it be not SIMS
ter, then, it is not philanthropy.
So far as the education of the ne
gro is concerned, if he wants to ed
ucate himself we have not the slight
est objection. Nor if his northern
brethren want to educate him shall
we seriously oppose; but we do OBJ
iect to being made tributary in any
sense to his education. Whatever
be the abstract or moral issues in
volved in this question it is enough
for Us to know that it is neither prac-
teal, polite NJ expedi NJ within h ,
realms of the South. That the negro
has been made citizen of this coun-
try is true, but the South had just as
much to do with. that as she did in
importing him into New England
from the jungles of Africa. She is
the no more chargable, therefore, for
the one than for the other. Our peo-
pie are too poor, even if it were right,
to undertake task at once so profit
less and thankless as that of educa-
ting the negro. Let Haygood, then,
with all his ilk, be squelched! and,
If not this, let them be transported
beyond the boundaries of southern
lines, where they may work, sing,
preach and pray for the "brother in
black" to their hearts content
Already, Mr.. Haygood has been OF
incalculable trouble to the people
South.

BILL, THE B4yKER.n

The annals Of the poor are short and
simple. One Of these records tells how
a poor navy became hero by forget
ting self even when death was clutching
him.
Years ago, when England was digging
canals, the laborer who delved therein
was called navy. The name, an
abridgment of navigator, connected in
the public mind the digger with works
for internal navigation. In course of
time it came to designate laborer on
railroads and other public works.
This navy was called "'Bill, the Bank
err" because his usual post was at the
top of a foaming embankment, among
the tip-carts.
He was "top-man" over a shaft OF a
tunnel which was being cut on a railway.
The shaft was 200 feet deep, and ran
down through solid rock.
Bills duty was 20 watch the large iron
bucket filed with rocks, as it was
hoisted from the bottom, run it to the
tip-cart, and return !: empty to the navy
below.
If rock fell off the bucket, Bill
shouted:
"Waur ont below!' and the men ran
further into the dive.
One day, as BIZ was leaning over the
shaft, swinging in loaded bucket, his
foot slipped, and he fell into the shaft.
He knew he would be dashed to jelly:
but he thought OF his mates below.
If he screamed, they would rush out
to learn the cause Of the unusual noise
and some of them would be dashed by
his heavy body.
If any OF them were at the bottom, anG
he did not give the usual warning, they
would be killed
His mates heard one moment his cleal
voice, "Waur out below!' the next, the
thud OF his smashed body. They were
saved.

PROTECT THE FORESTS.

Those who have read the late census
reports of the rapid destruction of the
timber in the great numbering districts,
and note on the maps the location of
forests distant from navigable streams,
will see at a glance that in the near fu-
ture lumber must largely increase in
value from necessary increase of cost in
procuring it. Men raised in woody
countries seem to cultivate an enmity to
trees and the destruction from the ak.
from carelessness and from fires can
scarcely be overestimated. It has been
the history of the West and Northwest.
There are millions Of acres which have
been denuded Of their forests to make
way fer farms, where to-day single trees
that were then sacrificed would sell for
more money than any acre OF the
ground. 1t NAV be said that this was q
Necessity, which is doubtless true to a
certain extent; but that necessity does
not continue. The man who owns forest
should guard it and reasonably expect in
the future rich reward for his care. II
