used to be well known in these parts, and
of whom a great many reminiscences are

Death of Mr. A. T. Ludde.
It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow
that we chronicle this week the death of
this moat estimable gentleman, who was
so widely known and universally respec
ted and beloved in this city, where be re
sided for a number of years. The sad
event occurred one day last week, at the
winter residence of bis father-in-law, Mr.

lived. Trnly, in bis death anffering human
tty has loet a true and sympathizing friend
as be apent a groat deal ol time and money
in' ministering to .the necessities of bis
afflicted and distressed fellow-men.
Mr. L. was a young man of most indom
itable energy anc' perseverance, and du-
ri*g bia term ot office as Chief of the
Atbens Fire Department, built up and
increased the efficiency of that organlza
tioa to a very considerable extent. He
was also an active member of the Inde
pendent Order of Odd-Fellows, and for one
year held the position of Grand Patriarrb
of the Grand Encampment of Georgia. At
tbe time of bis death he .was junior mem
ber of tbe well-known Savannah firm of
Alexander A Maxwell.
Mr. Luckie was, we suppose, about 31
years old, and was cut down in the prime
of life. He leaves a wife and two children,
we believe, besides a huge circle ofrel
stives and Mends, to mourn his untimely
death. May " He who tempera the wind

the afflicted family in this sad bareave-

iiEOUGl ITJSMf*.
Oats are so ^adly thinned by the cold
weather that farmers are plowing them
TteaspaB a
subject that we transfer it entire to our
columns:
Tbe recent animated controversy (if we
may use a mild term in this connection)
between the manufacturers ot guano and
the fanners of Georgia—in which the lat
ter seem to have very much the best of
the argument—is exceedingly suggestive,
not only in its inception, but in its results.
We are nut at all premature in speaking
of tbe result of tbe protest on tbe part of
the farmers against an increase in the
price of commercial fertilizers; for there
could be but one ending to a movement
ieangurated with so much spirit and char
acterized witb so much unanimity. Prac
tically, tbe victory was witb the planter
at tbe outset; and that be will retain the
advantage thus obtained is not to be ques
tioned. Tbe movement, we have said, is
suggestive. It Is more than this; it is
full of the promise of a new era in the
history ot onr agriculture; it marks, as
we fain would believe, an era of independ
ence, based upon economy and thrift-
viewed in this light tbe movement is of
far more importance than its present re
sults, and is foil ot significance for the fu
ture. Henceforth, if we interpret the signs
aright, tbe farmers ot the State will make
themselves felt and beard as a body—as
important factors in the industrial, politi
cal and social progress of Georgia.
For the first time in tneir history our
tbe benefits ot owjpera-
i by a common impulse,
iey gave emphatic direction to a protest
iga nst a movement having for its end
ind purpose an increase in the price of
•'oramercial fertilizers, and with such sac
cess that they have been put to little or
no ioconveoience ; but, as we have said,
the movement is of far more practical sig
nificance than tbe mere momentary suc
cess with which it has been attended. It
is a sign, it seems to ns, that the agricult
urist is gradually beginning to perceive the
importance of investing his cal'ing witii
'he dignity with which it should naturally
’>e surrounded. It is a sign that the farm-
**r is preparing to assert bis independence
in a formal way, and tbe sign of independ
ence is evidence that mortgages, factors’
iens and other embarrassing surroundings
are gradually disappearing from the plan
ter’s memorandum book. •
Another important fact in connection
with this movement is, that th« farmers,
before taking the steps which placed them
in antagonism witb such a powerful com
bination as that represented by tbe agents
of commercial fertilizers, counted tbe cost
of defeat, and were doubtless prepared to
carry on their fanning operations without
going to the expense of applying a single
pound of guano to their farms. Their
crops might have been somewhat smaller,
but tbe lesson ip economy would have
iieen a most wholesome one. We contend
that there is not a farm in the State man
aged as it should be, that cannot be made
to produce by far tbe greater .part of its
own fertilizers, and there is not a farmer
in Georgia who could not save hundreds of
dnltors annually by paying stricter atten
tion to the smaller ami apparently unim
portent economies of agriculture. It is
for this reason, therefore, wholly apart
from its intention or its result, that we
view the recent movement of tho planters
witb unqualified satisfaction.

Letter from Franklin.
Messrs. Editors Having a few spare
moments from the busy cares of life, I
know of no better way I could employ them
than ,in writing a short news letter.to the
dear old Watchman, whether I succeed in
making tbe communication worthy of a
place in your columns or not
The beautiful Spring days which occa
sionally dawn upon us, remind tbe tiller of
the soil that seed-time and harvest are ra
pidly approaching, which reminder begets
activity upon tbe part of the strong man,
as he holds his plow “ from early morn to
dewy eve,” pouring forth those truly en
chanting songs, prompted by the enliven
ing hupe that by-and-by the Autumn will
come, and with it a full reward for the toils
of the season.
The general health of the people in this
county is remarkably good, when consid
ered in connection witb the tact that the
weather, during the present winter, has
been very changeable—at times almost in
stantly passing from one extreme to the
other.
The lowlands in this section, which are
subject to injury from inundations in the
winter season, have suffered less to this
writing than usual.
The measles have been very -prevalent

in tbe years gone by which sufficiently de

has since been laid to rest and the solemn

his name. Leisure Moments.

Tbe fact that Mr. Tilden is made, by tbe

uader auspices that will insure to it a
bright aud successful future. Through
various reverses this enchanting watering
place has lost much of its prestige, all ol
whichlt will now regain. Mr. B. W. Wrenn,
whose name is a synonym of energy, and
who pushes everything he undertakes to
success, has effected a lease ou the entire
property for the term of ten years. It is
probable that it will be run by J. R. Camp-

Campbell is one of tbe most capable hotel

WlSHUQTOX, D. C., Feb. 12th, 1879.
The river and harbor bill was yesterday
reported to the Honse. Tbe day before
the legislative, executive and judicial bill
was reported. This leaves only the sundry
civil and deficiency appropriation bills tor
report. The river and harbor bill appro
priates about fix million, and probably tbe
additions to bo made in Honae and Senate
will increase the amount to seven millions
There will be' spirited opposition to tbe
bill, but, as in years past, it will certainly
be ineffectual. _
It having been decided in Democratic
caucus to attach to tbe sundry civil bill
a clause repealing all Federal jury discrim
inations in th& South arisfog out of the
civil war, there will probably be a contest
over that bill.-fca-Mr. Hale spewing for
t ie Republicans, yesterday intimated in
the Honae that his party would not oppose
repeal it the Democrats would not insist
on repeal of tbe election supervisor law.
Clearly this is a compromise which Demo
crats should not accept. The whole ma
chinery by which tbe Federal Government
interferes with elections in States should
be swept out of existence.
On Saturday the members of the Potter

more the testimony of Mr. Tilden and the
other New York witnesses is examined,
the clearer it bedomes that that gentleman
bad no knowledge of the inception of any
thing improper in the case, and, as soon
as he learned of anything improper, pot a

pains in the stomach; occasional
nausea and vomiting; violent pains
throughout the abdomen; bowels ir
