The State Fair.
It is gratifying to observe that all
indications point to the approaching
State Fair, in Macon, as a grand suc
cess. The authorities of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society, and the au
thorities and citizens of Macon, have left
nothing undone which could insure the
success of the Fair, or enhance its
pleasure and usefulness. We believe
the Fair this year will bo the fullest
and most satisfactory one ever held in
Georgia. It will be a nucleus of inter
est not only for our own State, but to the
people of adjoining States. Agricul
turalists, mechanics and manufacturers,
have a common interest in the illustra
tion and advancement of their interests,
and the public unfolding of their wares
and products.
The active minds of inventors are
busy in the work of abridging the toil
of labor by the application of art and
science ; chemistry searches the arcana
of nature for new combinations that
shall enrich the soil and divulge the
bidden mysteries of matter; practical
minds among our farmers and planters
arc equally busy testing theories, sep
arating the true from the false, and
making science and theory the servants
of industry. Now,all the grand results
of this mental and physical labor should
be gathered together, from year to year,
in central localities, for exhibition and
review, in order that all men may have
a palpable illustration of the progress of
the age in the various arts and avoca
tions of man, and derive an increase of
know’edge for himself by practical tests.
This is the design of State Fairs, and
at none of these valuable exhibitions,
throughout our country, will the scope
of the design be more fitly filled, or its
usefulness more advantageously shown,
than at the approaching Fair in Macon.
We are glad to notice the deep in
terest and active co-operation which all
classes of our citizens are taking in
the Fair, and its results will doubtless
be commensurate with its importance,
and a subject of just pride to our State.
A large number of visitors from other
States will be present. The Agricultu
ral Society of Murfreesboro, Tennessee,
for instance, has made arrangements to
be present in a body. Between fifty
and a hundred men are coming, and
they will charter an entire train to
bring down their stock and goods for
exhibition. They will bring large
amounts of stock, farm products, agri
cultural implements, and articles of do
mestic manufacture. They have had
some trouble in negotiating terms over
some of the roads ; but it is hoped that
satisfactory arrangements will be ef
fected. It will be a compliment to
Georgia to have so large a delegation
to come from another State to witness
her industrial exposition.
A majority of the Southern and
Middle States will be represented by
intelligent cit izens. Th<* good our State
Fairs can accomplish is inestimable.

Caution.
Every Grange should be careful in
regard to the material composing its
membership. Let no wolves in sheep’s
clothing be allowed to enter the farm
ers’ sanctuary, to pollute and destroy
it. In this present struggle of anti
monopoly rs. monopoly, the farmer has
a most unscrupulous and very powerful
foe to contend wit h, and one who will
spend money freely, in order to break
down, or at least t> neutralize, every
effort to control their usurped influ
ence.
Spies, informers and hypocrites are,
therefore, plentiful all over the count rv,
working in the interests of speculators,
money rings and despotic corporations.
Look out for them, men of the people!
Eternal vigilance is the price if your
liberties from misrule.

Opinions of the Press.
The Columbus Sun thinks the Grange
organization in Georgia an excellent
one, provided our farmers will not ship
cotton direct to Europe which ought to
be used for the payment of debts at
home. Commenting on the proposi
tion made by the Grangers of DeKalb
county, to ship cotton to Europe direct,
this paper says:
“ They may not only establish the long need
ed direct trade with Europe, but they may to a
great extent regulate the production of cotton
according to the demand, diversify agricultural
industry so as to retain at home more of the
money obtained for cotton, and aid materially
in the establishment among us of cotton facto
ries to give employment to the wives and chil
dren of laborers in the field.”
The Augusta Constitutionalist de
plores the fact that our people are so
ignorant of the uses and wisdom of
economy, and that the tendency of our
native population is to destroy, dis
card and squander.
The Gwinnett Herald tells planters
to remember that those who gave crop
leins for fertilizers on what is called
“cotton option,” can by the terms pay
for manures with cotton at fifteen cents
per pound till November first. After
that date the market price, whatever it
may be, will be the basis for adjusting
this class of indebtedness.
The Columbus Enquirer insists that
farmers ought to sell their cotton not
withstanding the fact that cotton at
present has declined fifteen dollars per
bale. Referring to the fact that plan
ters should liquidate their obligations,
the Enquirer says:
“The Southern planter must make the same
sacrifice as the Western farmer, and benefitting
by the lessons of the past, keep clear of indebted
ness, and make all his cotton in the future a
gain, and not a something to be hypothecated.
The South will not grow rich this year, it will
be poorer than it was last year; and every dol
lar sent away for meat and bread will increase
its poverty, and every dollar spent for clothing,
made away from home, will cripple the land.”
The Athens W&tchnan thinks the
financial pressure can be removed by
farmers bringing in their cotton and sell
ing it:
“ With this cotton, our merchants who have
furnished them with supplies can pay their
Northern creditors; or, if they don’t owe any
thing, they can sell the cotton and bring money
into the country, with which to buy other
cotton.”
The Monroe Advertiser indorses the
Farmer’s Movement, and says the Pat
rons of Husbandry are reformers, and
says they do not constitute “an undis
ciplined jnob, for monopolists to con
tend with,” but they are “an organized
and disciplined force, composed of the
serious, earnest yeomanry of the whole
country. It is inspired by the sublime
faith and animated with the heroic
courage which impelled the chivalry of
Europe to the rescue of the Holy Se
pulchre.”
The Grangcmi Con volition at Macon.
A great deal of fine writing, admoni
tory and advisory, has been lavished
upon the Grangers of Georgia by out
side parties.
Numerous editors and “correspond
ents,” have whetted their quills upon
this new subject, and delivered them
selves of brief or lengthy articles con
cerning it.
The subject is an absorbing one, and
we admit th it its attractiveness to wri
ters for the press is, considering all the
circumstances, irresistible. Os course
the quality of these disquisitions is as
variable as the taste and opinions of
the writers; s »me are goo I, others bad,
and the balance indifferent.
The ensuing Grangers Convention at
Macon, during the State Fair, is being
admonished beforehand to beware of
false steps, incautious declarations, etc.,
wlrch would nullify the strength of the
Grangers, and make the farmers ap
pear “ridiculous.”
Such advice is, perhaps, given with
good intentions, but with all respect
for the monitors, we must be allowed to
consider it unnecessary.
We are not afraid that the intelli
gent. earnest, high-t med and capable
m'n, who are t » represent the farmers
of Georgia in the Macon Convention,
will do anything which would “nullify
the strength of the Grangers, or make
the m ivement ridiculous.” We have
un pialified confidence in the integrity,
sincerity and mont tl capacity of the
members composing this Convention.
We believe that they can deliberate
upon questions of policy concerning the
Order with >nt stultifying themselves,
and secure th' best interests of the
farmers of Georgia, in ea -h and every
respect, without the assistance, or the
advice of outside parties.
Oar farmers and their representa
tives, “know their rights, and kn >w
iug. dare maintain them.”

Cotton Manufacture at tlie South.
It is natural that the cotton manu
tures at the North should not take
kindly to the idea that the South can
reach an industrial development which
shall enable her to manufacture her
cotton at home, and thus save the im
mense outlay now necessary to get back
her staple in its manufactured shape,
besides giving employment to hundreds
of thousands of her people. The New
York Bulletin, in a recent article on
this subject, laughs at the notion that
“ the mills must come to the cotton.” It
admits the ability of the South to com
pete with New England in manufactur
ing heavy jeans or the coarser brown
fabrics; “but,’‘ says this erudite author
ity, “ when it comes to the production
of fine goods, and even many varieties
of heavy fabrics, then there are requi
sites of climate, markets, labor, social
condition and proximity to financial
centres, which the South docs not and
cannot meet. The success of the South
in manufacturing already realized is
very gratifying. It shows that there
are certain things, in that branch of in
dustry, which it can accomplish; and it
is the true policy of that section to
push its advantages as far as possible;
but to assume the broad position that
“the mills must come to the cotton” is
to pave the way to a huge disappoint
ment. Experience has very conclusive
ly demonstrate! that the climatic and
social conditions that attend the growth
of cotton, are widely different from
those that belong to its manufacture.”
This is reasoning from false data.
Grant us the requisite surcease from
the distractions of politicians, and the
requisite amount of capital, what is to
prevent us from competing, in all the
branches of cotton manufacture, with
New England enterprise, as success
fully as the Bulletin admits we do in
special branches ? Says the Bulletin:
“The South has neither the climate,
markets, labor, social condition or prox
imity to financial centres necessary.”
Sweeping assertions are not substitutes
for facts. The conditions named are
already in existence, or would soon
create themselves if proper and sus
tained efforts should be made in the
right direction. Has the “climate and
social condition” of Columbus, Geor
gia, for instance^demonstrated that the
differences between the growth of cot
ton and its manufacture are so widely
different as to be incompatible? Or,
rather, do not statistics prove the re-
viewed in the light of fact, the state
ments of the New York Bulletin will
not bear strict investigation. The Bul
letin admits that “ the true policy of
that section (the South) is to push its
advantages as far as possible.” Os
course, every intelligent man in the
South admits this; and what is more,
we intend to do it, not only up to the
limit prescribed by the Bulletin, and
the class it represents, but to the high
est degree of excellence in cotton manu
facture. Give the South a fair chance
and she will not be obliged t> “play
second fiddle” in any branch of human
industry. The Bulletin and its audi
tory should remember that the South
of to-day is quite a different thing
from the Smith of the recent past, and
to say that her people can do neither
this, that nor the other thing, becaus ‘
they have failed to do so heretofore, is
illogical and absurd, or is the result of
ignorance as to the resources and true
condition of these St ites. Time will
prove the truth of what we say.

Au Excellent Document.
TREASURER JONES’ CIRCULAR.
Hon. John Jones, our very efficient and pop
ular State Treasurer, recently issued a circular,
addressed to the tax-payers of the State of
Georgia, relative to the eight-per-cent, bonds
of the State, issued for the purpose of raising
a loan of twelve hundred thousand dollars for
the uses of the exchequer. The circular is an
eloquent appeal to the good sense and patriot
ism of our people, and will not fail to have the
desired effect. The document is clearly and
very ably written, and recites in a terse manner
lhe trials and humiliations our people had to
undergo during the infamous Bullock rule, and
the losses the Tijeasury sustained by means of
bogus bonds and criminal legislation. It un
veils the base schemes of certain bond-holders
and brokers to take advantage of the financial
muddle in which Georgia became involved by
these means, and the efforts of her enemies to
stain her fair escutcheon, and debase her credit.
The business experience and patriotism of
Mr. Nutting, of Bibb, devised means for our
extrication from this dilemma, and the “ Nut
ting Bill” was the result. That bill authorized
the issue of twelve hundred thousand dol.ars
in bonds, bearing eight per cent, interest, pay
able semi-annually, and falling due in twelve
consecutive years, (one hundred thousand dol
lars annually,-from 1875 to 1886 inclusive,
when the last installment will be paid.) It also
makes these bonds free from State, county, and
municipal taxation. The interest coupons will
be paid in New York or Atlanta, as may be
most convenient to the holders.
It is a subject of congratulation that the peo
ple of Georgia have responded nobly to the
call of their State, and have assisted the State
Government in its patriotic design to keep the
loan inside of the State, and safe from the mer
cenary Shylocks and money-shavers of New
York. The fine, subtle sense of Treasurer
Jones was equal to the occasion. We quote
from his late circular to illustrate:
Before the bonds were ready for delivery, I ad
vertised them for sale at par, and received appli
cations amounting to nearly fifty thousand dol
lars, before they could be delivered, and those
applications were accompanied with the funds to
buy them. At the same time, I addressed a cir
cular to the Ordinaries of the several counties,
requesting them to caff the attention of the exe
cutors, guardians and trustees of estates, to the
excellence and strength of the bonds as an in
vestment ; and although it was prophesied that
we would not sell one hundred thousand in Geor
gia, and none elsewhere, except at a ruinous
discount, I have had the good fortune to dispose
of eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars at
par, and the expenses of the sale have not gone
higher than one per cent, on the amount sold.
By expenses, I mean the printing of the bonds,
advertising the terms of sale, printing and distri
bution of circulars, express freights and postage;
and this has been done by an abiding faith that
patriotism and State pride is yet a sentiment and
principle of our people, and that Georgians will
be true to Georgia at all cost.
These facts speak volumes in praise of the
patriotism of our people, and the capacity and
financial acumen of Treasurer Jones.
We arc sorry to know that certain persons
in Georgia are recreant to their duty, and,
Hi it il+e rrttvF’JSifi ttt t-rtv
monwealth,are unscrupulous enough to attempt
its degradation, and to take advantage of her
situation for their own personal profit. Treas
urer Jones, however, holds these individuals
up in their proper light, and the expose is cer
tainly very little to their credit.
Treasurer Jones closes his circular with the
following eloquent appeal, which can not fail
of having the desired effect:
Fetloio-Citizens: I know that the times are
hard ; I know that the swindling and robbery of
our late rulers have caused our taxes to be bur
densome and difficult to meet; I know that mon
ey is scarce and hard to come by, but the neces
sity is on us, and I must call on you again for the
honor of our bravo old State, to come forward
and take up the balance of unsold bonds. I send
you with this statement of the amount sold, the
purchasers and their place of residence. Not
more than forty counties are yet represented in
this loan to the State. Some of the banks have
contributed liberally, a few bounteously ; some
have not taken any, but I hope they will yet. If
those counties that have done nothing, will take
an average of thirty-five hundred to the county,
the bonds will all bo sold, and Georgia’s credit
will stand as high as ever.
Ilea 1 the accompanying circulars carefully;
inform yourselves thoroughly, and if yon have
$250 or or SIO,OOO or $20,000 that yon can
afford to put out at eight per cent., free from all
taxation, payable every six months, equal to a
ten per cent, investment, remember that the
State has need of it for the present, and bring it
along. Il will be paid back to you in from two
to twelve years, as you may prefer, and before
that time expires your taxation will, by this act,
be reduced to the mere expenses of the Govern
ment.
In conclusion, we must reiterate our sincere
respect for the ability, devotion, and unswerv
ing fidelity to the welfare of the State which
Treasurer Jones has displayed since his accept
ance of the responsible office he holds, espe
cially in th ? negotiation of this particular loan.
This economical, honest ami manly course en
dears him to the people, and we arc happy to
see that a great and patriotic people have a
servant, in a place of high trust, of whom they
may well be proud, and who is an example of
the truism, that “ Honesty is the best policy.”
Tlic Great Eastern < ircus.
We had the pleasure of a call, on
Thursday, the 23d ult., from Colone
Andrew Haight, the traveling agent of
the above named gigantic combination.
The Colonel is one of the most com
panionable gentlemen we ever met, and
is a proper representative of this un
surpassed show.
The Great Eastern Menagerie, Mu
seum, Aviary, Circus. Roman Hippo
drome, and Egyptian Caravan, will ex
hibit on the Fair Grounds at Macon,
Octol'cr 2i’th, 30th, and 31st —Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. It is an
exhibition of no ordinary merit, coming
fully up to the promises made in ad
vert!.' nient and poster. With the en
tertainment no one will be disappointed,
as all that it is represented to be, it is,
in detail and unequaled aggregate.
The patent i<-e-nnuhints used in the
t'outh, clear 7OU j er cent.
Ho it Understood.
It is well known that gigantic rail
road monopolies, controlling hundreds
of millions of dollars, have of late years
combined in order to control the trans
portation interests of the United States,
from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean.
Their object is to get the farmers’
products completely in their hands, and
exclude all chance for competition in
freight transportations.
Before this iron ring encircled the
country, and became too strong to
break, the farmers, especially of the
Western States, organized in self-de
fense against this vast railroad tyranny;
and under the name of Patrons of Hus
bandry, the Farmers Union is now
breasting their common enemy, and
will soon put them to flight, as well as
their helpers and abettors, the corrupt
legislator and political pimp. The far
mers of the South have joined hands
with their Western and Eastern breth
ren, and hearty co-operation for the
good of all is the motto.
The avowed purposes of the Gran
gers include economical operations in
respect to buying and selling their do
mestic and farm supplies, as also, prac
tical action in favor of honesty and
purity in public agents and officers.
The Grangers arc firmly resolved to
break up all “ rings,” of every sort
whatever, whoso actions would impover
ish the farmer and planter, and in their
general effects demoralize the whole
people.
No injury is to be done to any class
by the farmers; the object simply being
the prevention of injury upon the far
mers by any other class.
The “farmers’ movement” contem
plates the common welfare of all citi
zens, individually and collectively.
True.
A recent writer, speak gos the en
ormous power of concentrated capital,
whose controllers have, of late years,
had their own way pretty much in the
political and commercial government
of our country, says :
“ Capital is concentrated in the hands
of the great railroad, canal and manu
facturing companies, and they are wield
ing this powerful lever to crush out the
right of the great bulk of the people,
and to build up huge fortunes for them
selves. They set at defiance all law,
and trample under foot every principle
of justice. They control all legislation,
and are wielding the affairs of the na
tion to suit themselves. Money disre
gards law and tramples it under foot.
In the State of Maryland, John W r
Garret has more power in controlling
the Legislature of that State than the
Governor. In Pennsylvania, Simon
Cameron bids defiance to all State laws.
In New York, Vanderbilt carries things
with a high hand, and brings his influ
ence to bear on the actions of City
Council and the State Legislature. The
great railroad organizations, to carry
their roads to the Pacific coast, de
manded of Congress land, and had it
granted to them in quantity sufficient
during a single administration to
settle thirty millions of inhabitants.
Indeed there is great
danger that these monied men will, in
a few years, control this nation, finan
cially and politically.”
They are already controlling the
country to an extent in the last degree
inimical to the liberties of the people.
It is for the purpose of guarding our
common rights, and to restore the lost
equilibrium between the various inter
ests of the people, and of the different
sections, that the Grange movement
has been inaugurated, whose good
fruits will follow as sure as day follows
the night.
A Few Facts.—The crop arcage of
Georgia suffered a decrease of fifteen
per cent, during the decade of 1860 to
1870; also a large percentage of de
decrease in the general production, not
withstanding an increase of twelve per
cent, in population during the same
period. Speculate rs, middle men, the
costly “go-betweens” of the country,
as well as the vacillating condition of
the labor forces, are some of the main
causes of these deplorable results.
Organization of the productive inter
ests of the State, economy, and the
rigid enforcement of salutary laws, is
the best remedy for these evils. The
future before us can be made glorious
if we will but profit by the teachings
of the past. The value of the cotton
crop fur seven wars, since the close of
the war, grown in Georgia, was over
t“-<j billions of dollars. Think of the
power of this immense capital, if it
were kept in the bands of the farmers.
