The True Citizen.
WAYNESBORO, GA~ FRIDAY. OOT. 6, 1882
Entered at the post office at Waynesboro, Ga.,
an second class matter.
JBX7JRKK COUNTY’S SOTV-
RON. fit. S WALLACE, OF TRINIDAD COL
ORADO.
It is a matter of pride to the fiiends
of the above named distinguished gen
tium n, anti to our county, where he
was Horn and raised, and whose ‘ kith
and k,n” are still with us, to know
that he has achieved such distinction
in his new home, the State of Colorado.
Cap*. Sun. Wallace will be remem
bered a* a gallant captain of the 22d
Ga. "Regiment, serving his country
faithfully and honorably, he at the
dose of the war laid aside his swrd
and entered the Baptist minis'ry. He
removed to South Carolina, and served
several chu ehes efficiently. While
tbe-e, h • married a very accomplished
lady. Soon thereafter he read law,
and removed to Denver, Colorado, and
entered active'y into Ins chosen pu suit.
Succes- at'ended his every effort, and
to-day he is the ! eading lawyer in that
St,a*e. As an Klee tor for the State at*
la g’, he did \a’iant service f >r Han
cock !n the last Presidential election.-—
in the as' Democratic conven ion lor
< olo'iidf he was a prominent candidate
for governor, and came within a few
votes of getting the nomin tion.
We append two clippings from the
Pueblo News which explain therns Ives :
«>s k candidate—iion. s. s. Wallace.
The dist'nguised gentleman whose
name graces this art'de needs no enco
mium from us, or from the gallant,
pure-hearted Jarvis either, to com
n end him to the Democracy of this
Ma e, where he has lived for many
years. During six years of active,
stirring work on this fron ier—whete
men are not, overcareful of their words
—no single whisper against the char
acter of Judge Wallace has ever been
heard, aid the pur’ty of his life, his ex
alted patriotism, his devo-ion to the
Democratic, par’y, his active sympathy
with every good influence, his prompt,
wus tidied attack and bitter warfare
against »!l evil purposes and persons,
bis gre-tt ability, his ready aud soul-
stin ing eloquence, his profound legal
learning, his sialesmanthin, all point to
him as a man Cited by na ure in eyery
way lo not only to head the victorious
< u,swoop of she confident Democracy,
but to so conduct the affairs of the
ci/mmonwealtb, as governor, after
election, that rnen will speak well of
tie party, and determine that to its
c te nmy sa ely be committed the des
tinies of the .State—the gem of the
mountains, the youngest and most fa
vored member of the great family.
Judge Wallace, besides be’ug well
qualified for the position in other re
spects, is very favorably situated, geo
graphically It is very general y con
ceded on all sides that the South is en
titled to special recognition, not only
"n the Democratic ticket, but in the
$.ai.e government, and the selection pf
any good Democrat south of the Di
vide wou d strengthen the ticket amaz
ing y , but the nomination of Wallace
would be particularly gratifying to all,
arid would be received by the South
with en husiusrn, a^ d no section of the
State but would hail it with delight,
and as the harbinger of sure victory.
However, we produce here with pe
culiar satisfaction the high testimonial
so kindly sent us by the distinguished
governor of North Carolina, where
Judge Wallace lived many years, and
where h s young manhood unfolded un-
<1 r the eye of the gentleman .who is
now Inr chief magistrate. His endorse
ment is no unmeaning platitude. It is
tire candid testimonial of one who
knows the subject of Ins letter, and one
v»ho would never have given it but for
rhe fact tlmt lie has implicit confidence,
miy absolute knowledge of its entire
: Mitl.f'j n s«.
R.\M nut, August 31, 18<S2,
To the l-MitoT of the News,— Dear
J- u 1 have heard with pleasure of the
tve-i-meiited position S S. Wallace,
lCsq., has taken in your State. Mr.
Wal lace, prior to bis removal to Colo
rado, lived in the same town with my
self. I knew him as a citizen, as a
lawyer and as a gentleman, and in all
these relations his life was marked with
that high sense of honor and devotion
to duty which, sooner or later, is sure
to win success. We regretted to see
him leave North Carolina, but we re
joice in the success he has won and the
position he has attained in your State.
He left this State in the belief that the
higher and drier atmosphere of Colorado
would be beneficial to his health, and
in this I am glad to know he has not
been mistaken. With continued im
proved health, I predict for him higher
position aud greater usefulness to his
adopted State; and no one will more
heartily rejoice at his continued success
than myself.
Although a stranger to you, I have
taken the liberty to say this much for
a friend in every way worthy of the
confidence and esteem of the people,
but who may be benefited by a kind
word from his old associates, who knew
him years ago.
Begging pardon for this intrusion,
I am, very respectfully, your ob'dient
servant, Thomas J. Jarvis.
Go~ernor of North Carolina.
It A llD TIMES IN THE FA R WES T. '
“All these reports about easily made
fortunes in the West, are j henominnl
romances,” said a gentleman of New
Oileans, ju.-t retu.ned from a Westi r.-.
tour to a States man Tuesday. “I
have been out there, and know how it
is myself. I had heard glowing ac
counts of the West, and I was impa
tient to go out there and make a for
tune. I took a pretty good money
‘stake’ along with me, aud landed in
southern New Mexico, at a place called
Las Criuas, and one of the most d’so--
late locking places I ever saw in my
life. I arrived there in the night time,
and didn’t find out what sort of a place
it was till next morning. It looked
like a graveyard, and the only class
of persons who gave it any appear
ance of a town were some dozen or so of
miners who were trying to induce a
merchant to ‘grub stake’ them.
“I heard that a great many Mexicans
died their each summ r, and I did not
wonder at all. I walked out of the
town, and on the road met with a rol
licking set of men who were just re
turning from a murder trial, a ceremony
which I subsequently difeovered w;.s
very frequently solemnized in that re
gion. The men took mo a'ong with
them, supposing I was a basted tramp,
and piloted me to a section house a few
miles away, trom which place I made
my escape on a locomotive. I went to
Socorro, Alberqurque aud Las Vegas
At the two latter places I found
numbers of young men looking for
work, and others laboring at the hardest
kind of jobs. I found in one lumber
yard at Las Vegas three dentists, two
physicians and one lawyer, all educated
gentlemen, who had been compelled to
resort to hard labor to ward off -taxa
tion. In all tlio hotels, res'aurants and
eating houses I entered, I found the
waiters to be young gentlemen, who had
evidently been accustomed to lives of
ease and plenty, but who yielding to
the common lot of fortune hunters,
were‘holding down’ jobs that were en
tirely unsuited to them.
“The well-to-do people are tho board
ing house keepers, who literally feast
off the strangers who go to the West
ern country in search of fortunes. Of
course, after the stranger’s money is
gone, he is compel'ed to put his hand
to the first job he can find. The entire
co intry is flooded wiih men, and it
is no wonder that they become, in the
course of time, the moat cgnfrmed set
of tramps the world has ever known —
Unless a man is naturally very indus
trious, mid he despairs of ever securiiu
work, joins his lot to the reckless set of
meu he meets up with, and begs, beats,
or bums, his way through the country
as best lie may.
“The mountains are absolutely cov
ered with prospectors, and it is the
strangest thing imaginable that so few
mines are discovered. In all the towns
along the railroads the real estate
owners get up a boom at certain sea
sons of the year, through the means of
lavish advertising, put marvelously
high prices on their property, and the
suckers or s rangers buy.
If they are all fortunate they remain
and try to make the best of their bar
gains, hut the majority get disgusted
and leave, congratulating themselves
if they are able to secure one quarter
of the price that they originally expend
ed for their property."’
