Milledgeville—Her Water Power,
As viewed by Col. B. W. Frobel. a gen
tleman who many years, ago, made a sur
vey ol the Falls, at Judge Furman’s place
two miles above the city, and thence to
the city. The opportunity for making a
fortune to some parties, and the city of
Milledgeville a thriving town of ten or
lifteen thousand inhabitants was never
better. With these remarks wo present
tho letter of Col. Frobel to our readers. It
will, and should attract the attention of
our citizens who feel an Interest in tho pro
gress and prosperity of the city. The City
Council should co-operate with Col. Fro
bel in this important interest:
Atlanta, Ga., July 18,1884.
Hon. P. M. Compton:
Dear Sir—I have just received the fol
lowing from tho President of tho United
States’ Construction Co.. New York:
“In the matter of the manufacturing
canal enterprise, I have a letter from our
London correspondent, who, while he does
not give special assurance, asks me to
make up the statement as soon as we can
and send it to him. If you can dc any
thing with the people controling this work
use your own judgment to make the best
terms you can.”
I havp urged Milledgevillo as a good
point for manufacturing cotton and other
things. Mills are moving southward from
new England all the while and establish
ing themselves elsewhere. You interest
these men in your city and they will in
terest themselves to send capital and
manufacturers to you. I believe this is
tho best chance that she ever had and it
will be a bad day if she rejects it. I hope
you will put your strength out on it. In
great haste, yours truly,
B. W. Frobel.
Memorial Exercises Upon the
Death ol Hon. F. C. Furman.
Barnum’s big circus and menage
rie was struck by a cyclone at Cort
land, N. Y., July 23(1. Xo one was
killed, but numbers were seriously
hurt. The elephants, fortunately,
were outside the tents. Had they
not been, a stampede among them
would have caused the loss of many
lives.
The largt-st portion of Blaine’s letter of
acceptance is devoted to tho tariff. If he
should be, unfortunately, elected, he will
have no more to do with tho tariff than
the king of Siam. Congress, and not Blaine
will tix the tariff trouble. Blaine will not
get In touching distance of that vexed sub
ject.
The Ga. State Fair.—'The Premium
List is before us. It is liberal and attrac
tive. The Fair opens at Macon Park, Mon
day, Oct. 27th and continues a week. Ev
ery county in the State should be repre
sented. We will refer to this subject fre
quently between this day and the time of
holding the State Fair.
Col. Fletcher T Snead, of Montezuma,
Ga., lias been recommended by a large
number of his fellow citizens in Macon
county for representative. Col. Snead was
born in Baldwin, is a brother of Dr. C. W.
Snead of this connty, a successful Lawyer
and was a gallant officer all through the
war.
Mr. Sidney Lewis of the Tel. & Messen
ger is rarely behind tho times in Georgia
news. But here is onetime he missed it.
In last Sunday’s issue lie says: “Col. R.
M. Johnston is lecturing and reading in
Eastern Georgia.” Col. Johnston was at
Baltimore, or his home near by, when
Bro. Lewis penned the above.
Sterling Roberts oi the Ishinaelite, says
“a want of funds” kept him from visiting
the Press gathering at Atlanta. With a
free ride, and doubtless, free hash in view,
this co-laborer can’t exactly see where
the expense comes in. Well, it is a dull
season for the publisher, and fifty cents
extra just now for washing “would break
some of the boys.”
President Eliott says he has nothing to
say to Mr. Hoar’s speech, adding; “Sen
ator Hoar is mj - personal friend, and is
following out his protectionist convictions
in supporting Blaine. As for myself, I
shall vote for Cleveland and Hendricks.
Senator Hoar Is an old-style protectionist
and most of the young Harvard graduates
are free-traders, having done with protec
tion.”
The New York press is divided ns fol'
lows: For Cleveland—The Herald, Times,
Journal of Commerce, World, St ints Zei-
tung. Evening Post, Graphic, Morning
Journal, Truth, Telegram, Dial, News,
Couries des Etats Unis, Puck, Harper’s
Weekly, Lire and the Independent. For
Blaine—The Tribune, the Commercial Ad
vertiser, the Judge, Mail and Express and
Irish World.
Macon’s Musicians.—When it comes to
walking matches Macon is not as well
heeled as Atlanta, but start a “Moosic”
parade, and Macon can eciipse the world.
We have often wondered how Macon could
concentrate the best instrumental musi
cians and the sweetest singers in her boun
daries. But it is the truth. Sid Lanier
was a Macon boy, and Willie Lo Conte, his
chun\these two. were the finest perform
ers on the 11 ute we ever listened lo. We
have listened to them in the long ago, and
the memory ol their magical music is ever
fresh and a perpetual pleasure.
And what can be added in mere words,
to the charming song power of her sweet
singers, male and female? Mrs. Welles,
Mrs. Boykin, Miss Jesse Hardeman,Banks
Winter, Goode Price, these can make a
whole quire, so to speak. Macon is far
ahead of any city In Georgia, in cultiva
tion, refinemrtit, musical talent and the
beauty of her women.
Till: OLDEST NEWSPAPER MAN.
We have seen it repeatedly stated in
several Georgia papers that Mr. John H.
Martin and Mr. C. W. Hancock, the former
of the Rome Courier, tho latter of the
Sumter Republican, are the oldest news
paper men in the State—that Is they have
ante-dated all others, in their business. If
we are not much mistaken Rev. Joshua
Knowles takes precedence of the above
two. Mr. Knowles now edits the Greensboro
Home Journal, a clean, strong paper. If
our memory is not at fault, and our es
teemed contemporary will correct us if
we misstate facts, Mr. Knowles was con
nected with the Athens Banner in ’31 or ’32,
when It was published by Aibon Chase and
Alfred M. Nisbet. In the intermediate
years he lias been associated with the
Georgia and Florida press, perhaps not
continuously, but nearly so. If there is
any man in Georgia, now connected with a
news paper us publisher, printer, or edi
tor, who has been in the business over iif-
ty years we would liko to know who he is.
lie ought to have had a semi-centennial
celebration. His co-laborers in the field of
news and letters would have been pleased
to have contributed their individual efforts
to have made the veteran happy on that
day.
STUDENTS AND ORATORS.
The Union & Recorder, in full view of
that grand old time-honored fabric. Inter
woven with recollections flattering to the
pride of Georgians, feels now a daily pride,
in viewing it as one of the future Eton’s
to excite in a new channel tho admiration
of our people. Already it has taken a high
rank in dispensing the blessings of educa
tion. Connected as it is with the State
University, it affords us slncero pleasure
to copy the following from the Chronicle
A Constitutionalist, in reference to a few
of the young scholars and orators who
represent our si9ter city of Augusta in that
comparatively, already existing Georgia
Eton:
“Two of the best junior speeches were
made by Augusta boys, Messrs. Irwin
Alexander and Wm. H. Barrett, who not
only stood among the first in their class,
Barrett leading and Alexander always
among the star men, but who showed off
to capital advantage on tho stage. Au
gusta is proud of these two young gentle
men, who will be among the strongest and
most promising of the next young gradu
ates. In the junior languages, Messrs. C.
Edgeworth Jones and Eaul Langdon, of
Augusta, stand especially high. In fact
Augusta is lolidly represented in every
class and leads all the cities of the State In
tho number of pupils furnished and in the
scholarship of “the blue list.” It is well to
remember
••How hard it is to climb
The steep where lame’s proud temple shines
afar.’’
But genius and labor (not genius alone,)
can lead to its portals, and to him, who
gets that far, the door will open wide and
upon his head tho crown of immortality
will be placed.
GEORGIA POLITICS.
Thus far in the primaries of the
5th Congressional District, Ham
mond has carried Spalding and Rock
dale, and Capt. Jackson has carried
Henry and Douglass. In Fulton
there will be a hard and close fight.
In the First District, after a four
days session and near 200 ballots,
Hon. Thos. M. Norwood was unani
mously nominated for Congress.
Muscogee has instructed her dele
gates to the 4tli Congressional Dis
trict Convention to support Hon. H.
It. Harris.
Death of Mrs. Dr. Green.
The remains of this lady who died
in Atlanta last week were received
here by the Central train 11 o’clock
on Saturday and conveyed to the
Methodist church where the funeral
services were held, Kev. A. J. Beck
officiating, both Mr. Bigham, the
pastor of the church of which Mrs.
Green was long a member, and Dr.
Cook, being absent.
Mrs. Green was the second wife of
the distinguished Dr. Thos. F. Green,
so long at the head of the Lunatic
Asylum, and of which institution
Mrs. Grken was for many years the
beloved Matron. She was the sister
of the first wife of Dr. Green, and, be
fore her marriage, was known as Miss
Martha H. \)rowder. She was a wo
man of many excellent qualities of
head and heart A goodly number of
officers of the Asylum aud a number
of the old fijends of Dr. aud Mrs.
Green followM her remains to their
last resting pia ^ beside her husband
in our city ceme^y.
From Richmond's letter, in The Chron
icle <fc Constitutionalist, July 20.
NEARER my god to thee.
What depth there is in the old hymn
“Nearer my God to Thee!” The music
fits the great Idea of the song, aud the soul
is lifted under tho spell it wakes. The
Sabbath evenings are beautiful at Pine
Heights, the pleasent homo of Mr. Timber-
lake and his agreeable family near Grove-
town. The roomy mansion, comfortable
with amplitude of windows, halls and ver
andahs and lofty celling—the true archi.
tecture for the South—reposes upon a
breezy eminence shaded by a grove of tow
ering pines. The cool air stirs softly
through the trees nearly every hour of the
day and night, but especially in tho morn
ings and evenings. It sighs in the pines
and steals in at the windows, stirring soft
ly the responsive curtains of white and
administering the grateful caress to the
warm cheek, aud lips, that Is more akin to
the gentle kiss of femiuine affection than
anything else I wot of.
La s t Sabbath evening the chatting cir
cle drifted into sacred music. I shall not
soon forget the singing of the hymn “Near
er my God to Thee.” At tho piano play
ing tho accompaniment sat that most fin
ished and artistic performer. Mrs. Glas
cock Mays, whom Prof. Weigand pronoun
ces one of the most brilliant musical pu
pils he ever taught. The two sisters, Miss
Josie Walton and Miss Lula Walton who
sing together delightfully as soprano and
second, sweetly carried the thrilling old
air, while Mrs. Timberlake, Miss Lizzie
Walton.ills. Russell, the dear earnest little
fry and Richmond added a hearty co-opera
tion of voice to the 6aered melody. Every
voice tilled with feeling and responded to
the inspiration of the hymn.
Could one of Ingersoll’s Infldel expe
riences insure such sweet peace of spirit
as the earnest religious exercises bring?
What a foe to our best humility, is such a
creature!
Grover Cleveland has a sister who will
keep house for him when he goes into pres
idential mansion. But maybe he may con
clude to terminate his single blessedness
by that time.
"The Bowling Green Gazette says the
only tiling left out of the platform at Chi
cago was Mr, Watterson’s little word ‘On

Mr. Watterson very neatly asks:
What’s the matter with “exclusively?”
"May it Please Your Honor;—The com
mittee appointed at the last term of the
court to report a suitable memorial, em
bodying the feelings of regret and sorrow
with which this bar learned of the death
of our deceased brother, the late Hon. F»
C. Furman, submic the following remarks,
with the request that they be spread upon
tho minutes of this court and a copy trans
mitted to the family of the deceased.
“Farish Carter Furman was born at
Scottsboro, Baldwin county, Georgia, on
the 8th day of July, A. D. 1846. He was
the son of Dr. John H. Furman, of South
Carolina, and the grandson of tho celebrat
ed Baptist divine of that State—Dr. Rich
ard Furman. His mother was the daugh
ter of the late Farish Carter, a worthy and
prominent citizen of this State, and a niece
of that honored and distinguished son of
Georgia, Charles J. McDonald. Receiving
a thorough education at Oglethorpe Uni
versity, the Citadel at Oborleaton, and the
University of North Carolina, where he
graduated iu 1868. He began the study of
law shortly after leaving college In the
office of the present chief justice of our
Supreme Court, the Hon. Jas. Jackson. In
1870, after a most creditable examination,
he was admitted to the bar in Macon, Ga.,
aud during tho same year formed a copart
nership in this city with Judge Daniel B.
Sanford, and entered upon the active prac
tice of his profession. In 1869 ho married
Miss Emma LeConte, the eldest daughter
of Dr. Joseph LeConte, of the University
of California, who with two children, sur
vive him.
Of un f J s ^ iri p °ntai endowments and
great eneig^^.naracter and pertinacity
of purpose, oii-, *jceased brother came to
tho bar well equipped for a successful and
useful career. Possessed of perceptive
and reflective faculties of remarkable keen
ness and depth—the ability to iecall with
ease tho adjudication of courts in detail,
and at once and with good facility to iden
tify tiie sources of his information, the bar
was indeed the true field for ills intellect
ual activity. In the conduct of iiis cases
nothing escaped tho watchful care with
which lie guarded the interest of his
clients. To shrewdness ho conjoined a
boldness of thought and expression, which
on more than one occasion resulted in the
exposure of courts and juries, of public
and private abuses. Such was the char
acter of his mind that in every caso sub
mitted to him he sought for the intrinsic
right rather than to discover whether by
sorno particular decision his client's cas<
right or wrong, might be sustained., e ’ L (_

sense of right and wrong,P re ® s_ »r
and frankness that always challenged\(nd
secured the confidence of the court and
jury, lie was a formidable advocate for
any opponent. His addresses were char
acterized by simplicity, fervor and earnest
ness, and were equally powerful, whether
directed to the facts of his case or to tho
law. In discussion he was candid, fair and
bold. We can truly say of him what has
been written of another, “He bravely met
his foe in open held, and never by subter
fuge shrank from the full force of his op
ponent’s argument. He was too strong to
fear the shock of conflict and too honora
ble to achieve victory by any but noble
means.” His character was an affirmative
one, and truth, integrity and honor were
its chief phases. No man in tho profes
sion had more fully the respect and con
fidence of tho courts, his brethren of the
bar, and those who intrusted their Inter
ests to him. He was not a man of profes
sions, a surface man, but sincerity and
truth were the law of his nature. His
warm aud honest heart knew no guile. Be
yond the precincts of the court-house he
carried into his duties as a citizen tho same
integrity of purpose, fearless demeanor
and remarkable energy, which were his
characteristics. In politics he was honest,
bold and uncompromising, An ardent and
consistent Democrat, lie served with dis-
tiuctisn in the State Senate of 1876 aud in
the constitutional convention in 1877.
While continuing the practice of his pro
fession, the latter years of his lire were
chiefly devoted to the practical demonstra
tion of the agricultural resources of his
State. Into this new field oflabor he car
ried the same sleepless and untiring ener
gy which marked his success at the bar.
To a practical he addod a scientific knowl
edge rarely found among the cultivators
of the soil. His achievements were hail
ed ity the people of tho whole State as a
probable solution or the problem of suc
cessful agriculture. His name was already
familiar all over the South and he was
doing much to bring this noble calling to
tho proper estimation in tho minds of the
people, Well may Georgia—yea, the peo
ple of the entire South—mingle their sor
row with ours when death claims such a
sou ns Farish C. Furman. His race in life
hau just begun. At a timo when tho man
begins to mark tho progress which attends
his efforts and to feel that Ills step is Arm
or on the path he is treading, disease seiz
ed him in the fullness of robust health and
hurried him into eternity. In his death
this bar recognizes the loss of one of its
most intelligent members, and with that
profound regret which waits upon the
taking off of vigorous and useful manhood,
the swift destruction of energy and force
and acquirements, it mingles its sorrow
with those who lament the loss of an af
fectionate husband and loving father, and
extends to them its sincere sympathy,

Ordered, that tho foregoing be spread
upon the minutes of this court and that
a copy be transmitted to the family of de
ceased. Thomas G. Lawson,
Judge S.C.O.C.
After the foregoing was read in the hear
ing of the court, Colonel Miller Grieve, a
warm personal friend of Judge Furman,
arose and in a very impressive eulogy of
about half an hour upon the death of de
ceased held the court in breathless silence.
After the close of his remarks there was a
sadness that pervaded the whole room—
so becoming tho occasion—and I noticed
not a few with tears trickling down their
cheeks, as evidence of feeling of deep emo
tions.
Presentments of the Grand Jury.
Milledgeville, July 24th, 1384.
We the Grand Jurors of Baldwin coun
ty beg leave to make the following pre
sentments :
We have examined tho Ordinary’s
books and find them neatly and correctly
kept. We find the outstanding bonds as
follows: Macon A Augusta R. R. Bonds,
$27,000; Bridge Bonds, $4,000; making the
total bonded debt of the county $31,000.
We recommend that proper steps bo taken
to refund, or take up, the old bonds as they
fall due, by issuing others to take their
place, running from ten to twenty years at
a lower rate of interest, at not over 6 per
cent per annum. We also recommend that
the question of issuing bonds for the build
ing of a new Court House be referred to a
vote of the people at the next general
election.
The books of the Treasurer we find neat
ly and correctly kept with proper vouch
ers for all monies paid ont. He lias a very
convenient and proper system of keeping
his books.
We have gone through tho offices of the
Clerk of tho Superior Couit and County
Court and find all papers in their places

to the requirements of the law.
JAIL.
We find the expenses of the jail does not
exceed sixty-live dollars since last term of
Court. Wo find one prisoner has escaped
from jail mainly owing to Its inefficiency.
We earnestly recommend that tho Ordin
ary take immediate steps for its thorough
repair; namely, that tho doors be faced
with iron half inch thick and that iron
doors be put to tho jail and cells; that
there be but one door lo main entrance;
the back or north door to be taken out
and filled with brick or stone, whichever
may bo most secure; a small window of
strong iron bars bo put in north end of
jaii hall and that tho cast or side door
leading from jail to Sheriff’s dwelling be
tuken out and filled in with stone. We
recommend that an upright fence nine or
ten feet in height be erected, a sufficient
distance from jail to make it perfectly se
cure, so as to prevent parties aiding pris
oners in making their escape; and the
kitchen to be repaired as it is in bad con
dition. We also recommend that tiie Sher
iff’s dwelling house have one coat of paint
put on it.
We find the jail neatly kept. We find five
prisoners in jail-one female lias been
there confined for some time—and reconi-
men ’. hat the keeper of the penitentiary

been good and economical.
We have examined tiie Justices’ books
and find them properly kept with few ex
ceptions which were promptly corrected.
IVe have examined the Tax Digest and
find a great deal of property given in at
too low an estimate. In view of these
facts we have endeavored to make some
changes. Our time being so limited it was
impossible to do it as completely as de
sired. We earnestly hope this as an ini
tial step, may accomplish great good. We
recommend that our next representative

We find the bridges in good order ex

We call special attention to bridges across
branches and ditches which aro generally
constructed of pine saplings, covered with
earth, which lasts but a short time, and
are dangerous traps. We recommend that
such building material bo abolished and
replaced with two inch plank. Wo have
assurance ft ora Commissioners, that roads
will be tint ’ll good repair at once, and we
recommend that the Ordinary see that all
public roads within the county bo put in
good order within fifteen days.

JONES COUNTY.
Clinton, July 25,1884.
Ed. Union & Recorder :
The past ten days lias afforded the farm
ers a fine opportunity of clearing their
crops of grass, which has been taken ad
vantage of and wo hear of but little com
plaint on that score, many are running
over their crops for the last time and
“laying by” will be generally through
with the coming week, then after a short
spell hay cutting and fodder pulling will
be in order to be followed close by with
picking cotton and then this large and re
spectable class of citizens can laugh at
your Wall Street panics, and bid tight
times in monetary matters adieu.
While crops .are generally good in the
county, here and there is to be found some
that reduces the average and we judge
that tho corn crop compared to an avei age
is about 92 per cent while cotton falls to
87 per cent.
Quito ail excitement occurred in this
place yesterday morning: Mr. John
Wommack accompanied by a Mrs. Gill-
more an aged lady had driven up in front
or the Court House and Wommack had
gotten out when tho horse became fright
ened and dashed off at a break-neck speed,
making several circles, and finally crossed
the pavement between the stores of Mr.
J. W. Turk and W. H. Ilolsenback over
and into an old cellar carrying wagon with
him, without turning it over but throwing
off the seat und body, then around Hol-
senbr-ck’s store in tiie rear to IV inters,
when the wagon struck soino object and
left tho hind wheels, and off down that
street until entangled in tho harness fell a
broadside tearing up the harness and bad
ly smashing up the wagon. Mrs. Gillmore
was thrown out in front of tiw Court House
and sustained quite a painful wound in the
shoulder and neck with a severe contusion
over the right eye and a slight abrasion of
tho skin on her chin. Wommack was

Governor McDaniel.
As far as we have seen there is
no opposition to Governor Mc
Daniel for re-election. He has
performed his duties with signal
ability and we hope and believe
he will receive tho unanimous
support of the Democratic party
for the next gubernatorial term.
A correspondent of the Chron. &

erence to the convention held
there to appoint delegates to the
gubernatorial and senatorial con
ventions, says:
Resolutions were passed en
dorsing Gov. McDaniel. The
Governor is very strong here. A

been called for next Saturday, the

MIGHTY IS DYNAMITE.
Detroit Free Press.
Ho first appeared iu a tobacco store
on Michigan avenue. He had some
thing rolled up in tin-foil, and ha
carefully placed it on the counter and
asked: “Do you ever have any use for
dynamite?” “Dynamite! Take th®
Infernal tiling away!” shouted the
tobacconist, as ho jumped back.
“What on earth are you carrying tlio*
stuff around this way for? Here—havo
a smoke and take it away. I don’t
■want any fooling around my store.”
The man lighted his cigar and stroll
ed down the street and into a saloon,
am! when he had placed his little*
package on the bar he observed: “It
is just as safe as sugar as long as you
know howto handle it.” What’s that!
Say, isn’t that the stuff they call dy
namite?” The man grinned. “Now
you get out o’this! I don’t propose
to have my head blown off to humor
your nonsense Here—come up to
this end of tho bar and have a glass
of beer, and then you pick that stuff
up powerful careful and tiptoe out.”
Down at the corner another saloon-
ist bought him off in the samo way,
and on the next block a grocer who
was asked to take the State agency
turned as white as new process flour
and his very first jump measured
eight feet. Tho dynamito man ask
ed how lie sold plug togacco, and ho
stood in the alley door and called
back: “If you want a plug pull it off
and got out of this! Wlieu I get ready
to vacate here I want to move in tho
regular way 1” He was trying his
persuader ou another saloonist when
a policeman overhauled him and
sternly demanded the package.—
“There it is and you can take your
chances,” replied the man as ho plac
ed the affair ou a chair and walked
out doors. I; was five minutes before
tho officer picked it up, and then he
was all alone in the place. He placed
it on tho bar, carefully removed tho
wrapping anil when he reached the
compound itself he stuck up his nose
aud walked out and pursued his way.
