THE KILLING OF YOUNG MASTERS.
The Coroner’s Isiinest Yesterday—The
Jury Render a Verdict of Voluntary
Manslaughter.
Dr. B. F. Sheftall yesterday morning
held an inquest over the remains of the
lute Joseph DeWitt Masters, the youth
who was killed on Monday afternoon on
New Houston, near West Broad street.
A iury of ten gentlemen were sworn,
when the following testimony was elic
ited :
Laura Graffus testified that on Monday
afternoon, about.o’clock, she was stand
ing n ar the front door of her house, w hen
sb>‘ saw deceased with a stick, and that
h<- struck a boy, when a boy about his
siz struck him with something. The boy
who struck Masters was a mulatto boy
about 13 or 14 years old.
Augustus Walker testified that about
4 o'clock a boy cursed the deceased s
brother for a d—"son of a b —, when the de
ceased struck at the boy with a piece of
barrel hoop, but did not hit him. At that
moment deceased’s mother called linn to
make afire, when he turned to go, and
Henrv Gregory struck him with a brick
and ran off. The witness recognized the
brick. , . .
Frank Masters testified that a hoy asked
his brother for a piece of bread, and then
commenced cursing; that Mrs. Masters
was heard to call deceased to come and
make a fire, and that as he was turning
to come home the assailant struck him in
the bead with a brick. Witness identihed
the brick, and testified that the name of
the colored boy was Henry Gregory, a
bov larger than witness.
Mr. Paul E. Masters identified th ' re
mains as those ol bis son Joseph DjIV itt
Masters, who was 14 years old and a na
tive o(Savannah.
The jury in their verdict attributed the
death of the deceased “to a wound in
flicted bv a briek thrown by the hand of
Henrv (in gory, and that they considered
the offense to be voluntary manslaugh
ter.'’
The remains of the deceased were in
terred yesterday afternoon in Laurel
Grove Cemetery.
Henrv Gregory, the boy who committed
the crime, lias not been arrested.
It is understood that the boy Gregory
was sent out into the country on Monday
evening soon after his victim was an
nounced as dead. The family to which
the bov belongs was formerly of Macon,
where Gregory has a grandmother living.
It is possible that the fugitive is in that
city, or on bis way there.

The State Agricultural Society opened
its annual convention in Masonic Hall
yesterday morning with about "200 dele
gates in attendance, representing nearly
every county and agricultural association
in Georgia. In the absence ot the Presi
dent. Col. Thomas Hardeman, Vice Presi
dent Col. L. F. Livingston, of Newton,
presided, with Col. E. C. Grier, Secretary,
and nearly all of the officers and Execu
tive Committee present.
The opening of the convention was de
layed until 10 o’clock in order to allow
the large number of delegates who ar
rived on the morning trains ample time to
reach the hall. As soon as the majority
had arrived, the Citizens' Reception Com
mittee, with the Mayor, took seats on the
with the officers of the society, find
\ctinsr President Livingston called the
delegates to order and announced the
convention opened.
An appropriate Psalm was read, and
prater was offered by Rev. Charles H.
Strong, rector ol St. John's Church, aftei
which Mavor Lester, in behalf of the
citizens, extended to the delegates the
freedom of the city.
Vr President and Of nth-men 1 am bidden
bv tile people of tins eity to extend to you a
heartv welcome to their midst. It is a duty
which 1 most cheerfully perform. The heart
of everv son of Georgia goes out to the people
who represent the vast agricultural interests
of the State, an interest upon which depends
the welfare of the whole people. There are
no neoiile so free: no people so useful; no peo
vde so individually independent, and no peo
ple SO situated and circumstanced as to ad
vance and promote the interest and prosperity
of the State and perpetuate our free ins.itu-
Gcorgia is an agricultural State; her people
are an "'agricultural people. I pon the sands
of her sea coast, upon her midlands and in me
valleys among her granite hills the people till
the soil and gather from her fertile yield the
means of life, productions for a vast com
merce and the comforts of home. ..
Georgia is aland of homes, of hospitable
homes, where the people love to rear their
children. The people arc a high-minded, gen
erous people, and rear their children to live in
the good old ways of their fathers lo till the
soil, to love their neighbors, to act justly, love
their homes and be hospitable to the strangei
within their gates. ... ,
You have met. Mr. President and gentle
men. to discuss the great quest ions which eon
cern tin* material interests of the State, i feel
honored that you have selected our city as a
place for voar deliberation. \\ c claim to be
a part of the state of Georgia, although that
claim may be denied by the disposition of
some We do not believe that the sun rises at
T\ bee and sets in the canal; we l rejoice
that It shines on every foot of soil in the Mate
of Georgia. We rejoice and aspire to the
glory of whatever concerns the honor ami
prosperity of the people of the entire state.
Your session we hope, Mr. 1 resident, will
he harmonious and profitable, and that it will
redound to the interest and utmost of the
prosperity of the entire State.
1 extend to you the keys of the citv. May
your stav among us lie as pleasant and agree
able as it is our desire it should lie. I ake our
keys as long, sir, as you may please to remain
and keep them.
The eloquent greeting was received
with enthusiastic applause, and. m be
half of the convention, Hamilton \ancey,
Esq., of Rome, responded in acceptance
of the welcome as follows:
Mr. Mayor: When, a few days ago, I was
surprised bv the request of our honored .Sec
retary to reply to the "Address of " elcome.
at the Savannah Convention, on beliaif of the
Gear da Slate Agricultural Society. 1 was
euibai ra-sed how to answer so complimentary
a request. Immersed in the busy work of
practical life, I well knew how impossible it
would lie for me to suitably prepare a re
sponse on behalf of so able a body of repre
sentative men as coii'titute the membership
of this society.
Hut, sir. to decline wouM have evidenced
a want of appreciation of the grand work in
which this society is engaged, and how could
I do otherwise than promise that my feeble
voice, should respond in behalf of an organi
zation which all Georgians should earnestly
strive bv every means in their power to sus
tain and perpetuate.
It 1-. therefore, with pleasure, sir, that on
behalf of the Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety, in Convention assembled. I thank you
for vour words of welcome, for the cordial
hospitality of vour homes, and the freedom
of vour city, so generously extended to the
mc’mbcrship of this convention, the kindly
words you have so title spoken will not alone
he cherished in the hearts of those present,
hut tliev will awake a responsive echo of kindly
feeling in the hearts of all who love Geor
gia and Georgia's soil.
sir. it ran but lie a source of infinite gratiu
catinn to the agriculturists of Georgia that
this great commercial and seaport city of our
State has flung wide open her gates, and ex
tended to their humble representatives the
hand of friendly greeting so cordially.
sir, though we have come together from
every section of our state, amt some of us, sir.
even from under the shadow's of the Blue
Ridge, where we listen to the music of the
murmuring voices of our mountain rivulets,
as in their impetuous flow to the sea they
mingle their waters through the channels of
the beautiful Oostanaula and the cataractcd
Etowah, to enrich with their fertile deposits
and cargoes of freight a sister State, and.
though we have traversed hundreds of miles
that we might council together in the pursuit
of that knowledge which must redound to the
good of our beloved State, we do not feel that
we have come among you as strangers, hut,
on i e contrary. that we are of a brotherhood,
nurtured by tiie same mother, united in our
common interest in the noble eftort to lift
our grand old mother. Georgia, upon a
higher plane of prosperity in the better de
velopment of her economy' and material re
sources, of the treasures of wealth in her soil,
in her mines, and in the many' aud varied in
dustries within her borders.
And feeling thus, sir. we are glad that our
deliberations are to la-held where they will
receive so cordial a suiqiort.
sir the history of vour city has filled, and
must ever fill, a' large part of the history of
our state, sinee the planting of the banners
of the philanthropic Oglethorpe upon the
hanks of yonder noble stream—more than a
eentnrv and a half ago—has yonr city Im
prcs-cil the influence of its thought upon the
great practical and political questions of the
age, and largely aided in giving direction to
moulding the affairs of state. And to-day,
sir. the people of Georgia rejoice in the pros
perity and progress of your much loved and
queenly city. ....
The culture of your people, the beauty and
refinement of vour daughters and the genu
ine hospitality of yonr citizens are proverbial
throughout the limit and boundaries of this
commonwealth.
We rejoice to know, sir, that the many and
varied interests of vour citv have the infusion
of new blood and vigorous life, especially that
of your shipping intercsts.is so rapidl v growing
in importance, and that a healthy vigor per
vades all departments of vour economic and
commercial industries. V\ e trust, sir, that
the -field days’’ of your shipping interest may
multiply in geometrical progression to all
the diversified pursuits in which your people
are engaged. And we feel assured, sir, that
vou fullv appreciate and realize that the agri
culture'of the State is the very foundation
and support of those varied industries, and
upon its success depends their permanent
prosperity and the continued progress of your
commercial importance.
As the great centre of the -trucking indus
try,” vour city must he greatly benefited by
its growth and influence. I am not prophet
enough to predict its possibilities, lie who a
few years ago had dared suggest that the car
goes' of your great ocean steamships would
have been largely of “truck,’’ and that the
great railroad lines of the country could not
Furnish cars enough nor engines of sufficient
power In convey the -truck" of Southern Geor
gia to t lie markets of the East and the West.
Would have been ridiculed as a dreamer and
laughed at as a theorist.
The present is pre-eminently an age of pro
gress, and Hie great heart of the Empire stale
of the South is to-dav throbbing with the prn
gre.—ivencss of her earnest working citizens.
Never were her 1 enple so much in earnest for
the development of the resources calculated to
advance their economic and social condition
and of availing themselves of the wonderful
discoveries of science and their practical ap
plication for the advancement of their mate
rial prosperity and happiness. And in no de
partment of scientific research have there
been more wonderful discoveries or
greater progress made than in the “science
of art and agriculture.” Ignorance and
prejudice have, since the world began, de
cried the theories of science, and refused to
accept them until the sunlight of truth has,
by the crucible of exjieriment, forced the
great mind of man to accept demonstrated re
sults, and thus utilize the great forces of na
ture for the good of tiie people and the ad
vancement of future generations. And thus,
sir, even 111 this age of enlightenment and
progress, lias this society, in the face of skep
tical and adverse criticism, looking alone to
the advancement of the great agricultural
and material interests of the Stale, earnestly
desirous of freeing that interest from the cob
webs of error that have entangled it, of dissi
pating the clouds of despondency that were
lowering over it, steadily progressed in its
great work of stimulating inquiry aud dis
seminating the condensed and matured
thought and practice of the most scientific and
practical workers in agricultural science, and
the field work of the farm.
The great good that has been thus accom
plished is Ix-st known, that the results that
have been attained bv the increased products
of our farms—by the increased tonnage
cleared at the custom house of your port—by
the increased freights of the great railroads
of onr State—by the added wealth to our an
nual tax returns, and by the material comfort
and happiness of our people.
And vet, sir. these noble laliorcrs in their
“Master’s vineyard" must still continue in
their good work without fee or reward other
than an approving conscience of “duty well
performed,” until by —line upon line,” “pre
cept upon precept,” and the demonstration of
example upon example, they are enabled to
shed the glorious sunlight of agricultural
truths into the minds of the masses of the
people. And when that grand work shall
have licen accomplished then indeed will our
beloved State have reached her glorious des
tiny; her Aasted lands will have been re
deemed and made fertile once more, and her
old red hills will blossom as the rose, and
peace, happiness and prosperity will reign
once more throughout the limits of her
borders.
Bv this time many of the delegates
who were late in arriving had reached the
hall, and the floor was tilled with
Georgia's sturdy sons of toil. The dele
gates comprise many of the leading men
of the State, and nearly every profession
is represented in the convention by men
who rank high in their respective callings.
, THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS.
In the absence of President Hardeman
his annual address, forwarded from Wash
ington, was read by Col. George W.
Adams, of Monroe, as follows:
Washington City. Feb. 4,1554.
Gentlemen of the Convention: Business in the
National Council, in which you are more or less
interested, compels me to' deny myself the
great pleasure 1 always experience while in
attendance at your conventions. Nothing hut
a deep sense of my duty to the people of
Georgia, who have honored me with the posi
tion I now occupy, could prevent niv being
with you in vour meeting in our “City by the
Sea.”’ It is indeed appropriate that those en
gaged in industries, the products of whose la
bors enter so largely into the exports of the
country, should meet with those who are also
closely’ identified with our export trade as
merchants and shippers; for tli#ir interests
are so closely interwoven there should De
a community of feeling and purpose, each
struggling for their common welfare ana
prosperity. The question of cheap transpor
tation of farm products to our commercial
centres and trade marts is well worthy of the
study of all who feel an abiding interest
in agricultural success, for when we consider
that -access is graded by a scale of profits
of labor, and not by quantity of products, and
that transportation at last is but a tax upon
toil, the question of its cost forcibly pre
sents itself, hotli to shipper and carriers. I
say presents itself. I perhaps should have
said, should command the attention of all
parties at interest. Were there no producers
there would be no necessity for carriers, and
were there no carriers, labor would toil in vain
for any reward beyond the necessities of life;
industries would be paralyzed, and commerce
would die. Hence the absolute necessity of
sympathetic co-operation, the one supplying
all the productions possible for the de
mands of commerce; the other furnishing
transportation for those products at such cost
that all the profits of labor will not be con
sumed in the transit, leaving the producer
nothing as a remuneration for his labor and
investment. As there is no antagonism (nec
essarily) between labor and capital, so none
should exist between production and trans
portation, for while there is a mutual de
pendence, the one upon the other, transporta
tion is so entirely dependent upon
production for its existence and
preservation that its “yoke should
lie easy and its burden light.” If, however,
forgetful of its true relationship—either from
unconcern or avarice—it should grow exact
ing iu its demands or destructive in its meth
ods, there is no protection left to labor hut
an appeal for redress to that power (the law)
which draws its authority from the sovereign
power— the people themselves. Y\ bile, under
such exigencies, the strung arm of the law
should lie laid upon exacting corporations, at
the same time I assert, with equal emphasis,
the law should be alike the impartial guardian
and protector of corporate rights and privi
ledges, so long as the exercise of those rights
is restricted by’ their grants of power, and
confined to a reasonable construction of laws
from which those privilegesderivetheir being
and force. These thoughts have been sug
gested because this convention of agriculuir
its being held in a great commercial empo
rium, one of the chief exporting cities of the
Union, and I sincerely trust that such an af
finity wili be formed between these great
parties that no selfishness can destroy
and no sordid prejudice impair. Ibis
mutuality and unity is essential
| to prosperity and general advancement.
I Tin 1 three great elements of wealth are pro-
I iluction, cheap transportation and manufac
turing industries. These elements we should
possess—aye, do possess—if we would intensi
fy, regulate and utilize them. There is nei
ther business sense, sound judgment nor ordi
nary patriotism in discarding or antagonizing
them. The wagon is useless unless there is
something made to fill it or he transported by
it; and when filled, it is worse than useless un
less there is Home power to move it. So with
our productions—all over the necessaries of
life are unproductive and valueless unless
transported or transformed by us into manu
facture. Production is the life-blood; trans
portation and manufactures are the arteries
through which it is conveyed to and from the
heart of the body industrial. Like Siamese
twins, they are inseparably connected; for
the destruction of one will he the death of the
others. Every consideration of interest and
existence demands from those engaged in
these different industries such harmonious ac
tion aud co-operative union, that prosperity
will result from their labors and plenty glad
den the land. Concord and unity is life; dis
cord and strife is dissolution and death.
It must he a source of gratification to every
Georgian to witness our growth in produc
tions and manufactures. Her praise falls
pleasantly upon my ears in the nation's metro
polis, and justifies my appeal to her people to
push forward in the march of progress. Keep
pace with the advancing spirit of the age.
Lay your hands, not extravagantly but wise
ly, upon the means in yonr treasury when
ever it Is necessary fur tiie demands of
science, the growth of industries, or the de
velopment of your uow dormant resources.
In some fields of labor you have just entered
a proper appreciation of their richness, a just
estimate of their advantages, and a suitable
protection and encouragement for those who
enter them, will amply repay' you for your
care and investments. Progress comes only
from tliriftv enterprise and well-directed
effort. Withhold not these, and your water
powers w'ill not remain always unutilized.
Your varied forest will not always stand in
solemn grandeur, to be felled only by the
lumberman's careless axe or the winter s
storm. Your coal and iron will not much
longer remain profitless and untouched in
their mountain beds. God designed them for
the use and enrichment of the people, to
whom this land was given for an inheritance,
and that design will not be thwarted, for each
succeeding year justifies the prophecy that
the South will, if t rue to herself, become a
great manufacturing people; that our forests,
which now demand State legislation for then
protection, will in due season furnish our
work-shops and manufacturing interests all
necessary timbers for our implements, tools
and machinery; that at the base of our moun
tains will spring up Birminghams filled with
industrious communities, transforming our
exhaustless ores in their furnaces aud forges
into elements of wealth and power. All these
are within our reach if our industries do not,
like Kilkenny cats, destroy themselves. Con
cert in action, unity of wise purpose, harmony
in prosecution will invite investment, control
labor and command success. Dreams of
power never of themselves brought
realization. Action, energizing ac
tion, is the kevnote of progress.
Hopes of greatness may thrill
the patriotic heart, hut disappointment
will even he the lot of him who strikes not
himself the blow that unbars the golden gate.
Power may charm with its attraction, wealth
may dazzle with its glittering gold, nature
may point to her resources and invite devel
opment; but vain will he the dreams of power,
wealth or development if we fold our arms in
ease and expect others to come and gather
when we have sown no seed for the harvest.
Work has begun in yours and other labor
occupations. Let it not stop, for there is 110
more inviting field for labor —for the man of
action, enterprise and culture —than agricul
ture now affords. The dawn of anew era in
vour profession, “intensive agriculture, is
already shedding its brilliant light upon the
home and farm. Successful experiment has
astonished with its results the enthusiastic
scientist, and given new life to your industry
and increased zeal to him who studies how to
farm.
Just as the day was dawning and the
light was falling" upon the hill top of
future promise one who had stood upon
the watch tower and heralded the com
ing of the Day King with prophetic ear
nestness and practical faith was stricken
from iris post, and his life was closed as the
evidences of liis prophecies fulfilled were
being gathered about him. Parish Carter
Furman opened anew book in his profession,
and many are now studying the instructive
pages he unfolded. The compiler has passed
away; the book, however, is unsealed, and its
lids will not close again until a higher civili
zation discloses theories and plans and teach
ings better adapted to a grander development
and a still more intelligent advancement. A
true disciple of agriculture has passed away.
Under the soil that he cultivated, among the
red hills or his childhood home, sleep his ashes
to-day. Agriculture lost in him an enthusi
astic follower, science a friend, this society
and its executive committee a memherof use
fulness ami great promise. What he began
you can carry on to a successful completion.
The soil is yours—the grand elements of power
which invited his attainments are within
your grasp. Energetic and skilled applica
tion are all that is necessary to insure a reali
zation of the dreams that idled his head and
the hopes that stirred his soul.
An application of ail the aid science and ex
perience furnish is eminently necessary now.
The year just passed lias not been a profitable
one to most of our farmers. Bad seasons cur
tailed tiie crops. The winter’s freezes have
added to their losses by damaging their grain
crop, thus adding to their misfortune; but I
do not despair of the coming year, for the
same resolute spirit that sustained you when
you began farm life after the devastation and
ruin of war, will nerve you still to duty.
Losses may embarrass, disasters may over
take vou, but nothing can conquer you, un
less you prove false to the history of the past
and to the manly spirit that has ever #harac
terized you. Were it the lot of others than
yourselves I would tremble for the result, but
knowing as I do the-Old Guard never sur
renders,” I look forward to an active cam
paign-short, decisive, successful. Economize
your forces, husband well your supplies, look
carefully to your food crops—beware of the
syren that whispers in your ears, easy credit,
the farmer’s reliance. Live within yonr means
and regulate vour contracts by your ability to
pav. and all will yet be well. There is no room
for discouragement, for in no period of our
country’s history has agriculture occupied so
prominent a position in governmental affairs
.-is now. Legislators begin to feel its force and
appreciate its power. The millions engaged
in tilling tlie soil demand recognition from
the nation's law givers, and he who refuses
them proper recognition and encouragement
let him he “Anathema Maranatha.” Turn
not back, my countryman, from the way you
are entering. Along it is contentment; at its
terminus is independence and prosperity.
This much I have considered my duty to
write unto you: “That Te be not shaken in
mind or lie'troubled, neither by spirit nor by
word, nor by letter as from us. ’ “Not be
cause you have not power lint to make your
selves an ensamplc” toothers seeking profit,
and knowledge and usefulness to follow after
you. I wish you,fellow members, a convention
that will be as replete in benefi‘.s as it must
be in refined enjoyment.
At the conclusion of the address the
acting President announced the introduc
tion ot resolutions and the movement of
privileged questions in order.
Col. E. W. Benson, of Albany, moved
the reference of the matter of a change in
the basis of representation noticed at the
last meeting of the convention, to a spe
cial committee to be appointed by the
Chair. The motion prevailed, and the
committee of reference was appointed,
with Mr. Benson as Chairman.
Capt. J. G. McCall presented an Invita
tion front the Savannah. Florida and
Western Railway extending the conven
tion the privileges of the road and tender
in” a complimentarv excursion to the
Florida State Fair, now in progress at
Jacksonville.
I)r H. 11. Cary moved the acceptance
of the invitation and the appointment of
a committee to communicate to the
officials of the road the thanks of the con
vention. . Al _
The arrangements for the excursion
were afterward reported by the commit
tee and the programme announced to the
delegates. The train will leave Savannah
to-morrow morning at 8 o’clock, arriving
at Jacksonville at 2 o’clock p. m., after
which the delegates will be free to return
on any train they may elect.
The committee of arrangements on the
part of the convention consists of Cant.
J. G. McCall, Chairman; Hon. D. B. Har
rell, P. J. Berckmans, Esq., J. O. Wad
dell. Esq. . ..
On the part of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company—Capt.
R. G. Fleming, Chairman; Capt. 3. T.
Kingsbery, Geo. "W. Haines, Esq., Jas. L.
Tavlor. Esq. ....... -
the Secretary read the invitation from
the citizens of Savannah to visit the
wharves of the Ocean Steamship Company
and to an excursion to ho given down the
river to-dav, and stated that in accepting
the invitation a change in the programme
of the convention would be necessary.
T. N. Fulton, Esq., of McDuffie, moved
the acceptance of the invitation and a
change in the programme to conform to
its fulfillment. . .
A rising vote was taken, and the invita
tion was unanimously accepted.
Communications were also read from
the Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade,
extending courtesies to the convention.
Dr. Cary moved that the Mayor and
City authorities of Savannah, the Chat
ham County Fruit and Vegetable Growers
Association, the members ot the I ress,
and citizens ot Savannah generally, he
invited to attend the sessions of the con
vention.
At the conclusion of this order of business
Col. James M. Mobley, of Hamilton, was
introduced and read an interesting, essay
on "System in Fanning a Necessity,” a
theme which he had selected because his
observation had led him to the conclusion
that it was one of the most important
topics that could be discussed by the con
vention.
At the conclusion of Col. Mobley s
essav, which was listened to with the
closest attention, the roll of delegates was
called and the badges of the society were
distributed. This occupied considerable
time, and in order to reach an adjourn
ment by 11 o’clock to-day. the time ap
pointed by the committee for the depart
ure of the excursion steamer, it was de
cided to proceed with the business an
nounced for the afternoon session.
In so doing the President called upon
Hon. N. E. Harris, of Macon, who was
annonneed to read an essay on “techni
cal Education in Georgia.’’
Mr. Harris responded that he had not
anticipated being called upon at that
time, and further that his essay was more
of the character ol an address than of an
essay. When first requested to appear
before the convention he was informed
that lie was expected to deliver an ad
dress. Upon receiving a programme of the
proceedings he saw that he was announced
to read an essay. He had, therefore,
transformed his address and given it as
much of that character as possible.
Mr. Harris’ address occupied over an
hour in delivery, and was given the closest
attention of every delegate iu the hall.
The speaker was greeted with frequent
applause, and the address was one of the
leading features of the day.
At its conclusion Col. Benson, ot the
Special Committee on changing the basis
of representation in the convention, sub
mitted the report of the committee, which
was read and laid upon the table to be
considered at the opening of the after
noon session. The convention then ad
journed.

The convention reconvened at 3 o’clock,
when Hon. W. T. Northern, of Sparta, de
livered an address on “Farm Economy.’
The order of deferred business was
taken up, and the matter ol preparing
memorials to the memory of deceased
members of the association was dis
cussed. The Memorial Committee ap
pointed at the last meeting of the society,
in Atlanta, consisting of Messrs. Bird,
Cary aud Butler, was made a permanent
committee, and instructed to report some
time during the convention.
Dr. Oemler, President of the Chatham
County Fruit and Vegetable Growers’
Association, offered a resolution in regard
to the shipment of truck to the Northern
markets by steamship, which was adopt
ed.
The report ot the committee on anew

and petitioning Congress to place the De
partment of Agriculture on an equal foot
in” with all the executive departments of

read and unanimously adopted.
EXPERIMENTS IN FARMING.
Prof. H. C. White, of the State Uni
versity, made an exhaustive report of the
experiments at the University farm, and
read an interesting essay on “Compost
ing,” which was the subject of a general
discussion. Prof. Y\ hite had been ex
pected to appear before the convention
to-day, but in view ot the
change in the programme, was re
quested to make a report of
his investigations during yesterday’s ses
sion and cheerfully complied with the

appear to-day and deliver an essay upon
the subject, “Insects Destructive to
Southern Agriculture,” was present, and
stated to the President, that he would be
unable to fulfill the partof the programme
to which he was assigned, as lie was
compelled to leave the city on an
early tram. In order, therefore, to
secure the delegates the opportunity of
hearing Prot. Riley, he was requested to
present his essay during the evening ses
sion, which he did in an interesting and
instructive manner, conveying valuable
suggestions as to the protection and care
of Southern vegetation from the ravages
of destructive insects. At the close ol his
remarks,which were supplementary to the
the subject, he was generously applauded.
In view of the practical nature of the essay,
it was requested for publication in the

TH ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS.
At S o’clock in the evening a large
audience assembled in the library room
of Hodgson Hall for the purpose of listen
ing to the anniversary address delivered
by Hon. P. W. Meldrim. The speaker
was introduced by Gen. Sorrel in a few
appropriate remarks.
Mr. Meldrim took for his subject ‘*The
Trial of Charles I.—lts Causes and Con
sequences,’’ and for over an hour gave
his auditors the pleasure of hearing a
most scholaly and eloquent discourse on
the trial of the great representative of the
house ot Stuart. He gave a graphic
account of the early history of the
accomplished, calm, grave and dignified
King, who to the end of his life adhered
to the autocratic ideas with which he be
gan. He showed how great a master
Charles I. was of dissimulation, and how
dictatorial he became. The authority
which he assumed begat opposition in
Parliaments which were successively dis
solved, until he finally undertook to rule
without a Parliament. It is impossible
to give a detailed sketch of Mr.
Meldrfm’s address within the limits
of this notice, but he explained
what the effect of the King’s rule was,
and to what extremes the people were
forced against their monarch. The Puri
tans were led to believe that the King
and his primate were about to reintroduce
a form of religious worship to which they
were inimical. The Irish were driven to
the verge of rebellion by Wentworth and
his political schemes. Wentworth, as
Lord Strafford, was sketched by Mr. Mel
drim. who referred to his great ability
and his unscrupulousness. The causes
leading to the invasion of England by
Scotland, and the worse forms of tyranny
which followed in Church and State was
described, and the weakness, as well as the
vacillation of the despot commented up
on. From the history and cause of the
trial of Charles the speaker advanced the
proposition that the death of Charles was
necessary to the birth of liberty. The
court was a tribunal without law to jus
tify the death of Charles until a law was
enacted to meet the conditions of the
case, and when he finally went to the
scaffold his demeanor was as firm
and dignified as it ever had been. The ex
ecution of Charles was a triumph lor the
people. To the influence of that event the
speaker attributed the growth of the spirit
of liberty subsequently in America under
George the Third, and in Poland, Hun
garv, Sweden and France.
Mr. Meldrim concluded by remarking
that the great problem of to-day is to in
sure the liberty of the people and the
safety of the State, and finished by appeal
ing to the gentlemen of the historical so
cieties of the land to devote them
selves to the elucidation of
the plan by which the masses might have
the greatest amount of liberty, and so
ciety, as represented by the State, every
assurance of stability.
Upon the conclusion of the address,
which commanded the undivided atten
tion of the audience, Mr. Meldrim was
warmly congratulated by the members of
the Society aud all who had the pleasure
hearing him.

••The Famous”
Has so badly damaged the high price
clothing system in Savannah and Charles
ton that we are far from being the best
beloved among our competitors. AVe are
only trying to please our patrons, and
they we know don’t care how we get our
goods (whether we pay for them or not)
as long as we save them three to five
dollars on a suit; but our goods are paid
for before they are offered for sale; that is
one of the great secrets that we can afford
to sell as cheap as we do. Another secret
of our success is that we manufacture
our own goods, and that we are satisfied
with a small profit ; and.now to dispose of
the remainder of our winter stock, we
are selling at manufacturers cost. Call
and get the best of clothing cheaper than
ever and he happy, at the Famous New
York Clothing House, 140 Congress street.

Horrors of Mineral Poisoning.
I was suffering with Blood l’oison, and
treated several months with Mercury and
Potash, only to make me worse. The
Potash took away my appetite and gave
me dyspepsia, and both gave me rheuma
tism. 1 then took Sarsaparilla, etc. All
these Sarsaparilla mixtures have Potash
in them. This made me still worse, as It
drove the poison further into my system.
A friend insisted I should take Swift’s
Specific, and it cured me sound and well
of the Blood Poison, drove the Mercury
and Potash out of my system, and to-day
I am as well as I ever was.

A Key to Economy anil Success, and
How to Make a Fortune.
It is undoubtedly the greatest part ot
human nature to get the key to economy
and success, which when once got is a
true blessing. It has been our aim for
many years to acquire this key, which by
personal exertion we have at last attain
ed. Economy is no doubt the only way to
success, and where there is success there
is fortune. Now, the idea is how to ac
cumulate that fortune. We will now an
swer, which is very plain once seen into,
viz: Bv buying your Clothing from B. H.
Levy & Brb., the onlv reliable Clothing
House in this city, where you can save at
least 35 per cent, on your purchases.
Think of the old adage, “every cent saved
is made,” and every cent made leads to a
fortune. They are also making a grand
clearing out side of this season’s stock to
make room for their Spring Stock, which
i3 now coming in. Call and see them.
