I From Iho Savanuah Morulug »«v. Nov 27. is' :.]
We have often stated in these col
umns—not oflener, it would appear,
than is absolutely necessary--that it
is absolutely necessary—that it is a
waste of time, paper ami postage
stamps to order the Morning Xrtm
without enclosing money, draft or
(Hist office order to pay for it. Only
a Tew days ago, we received u list of
a dozen or more good names, forward
ed bv a friend iu Southern Georgia,
accompanied by a request to forward
the paper, anil "the gentlemen whose
names were enclosed would remit on
receipt of the first copy thereof. We
nre extremely sorry that we are una
ble to accommodate our good friends.
The rredit system is well enough in
various branches of business and in
these times, hut in the publishing bus
iness it would necessitate the o]ieiiing
of thousands ot small ledger accounts,
the half of which, iu the end, would
be next to impossible to collect. Ill
refuting to Jill inch orders, nothing is
further from our intention than to
doubt the integrity of those making
the request. We are simply adhering
to a rule, so far, we have found to
work so exceedingly well that we
cannot be prevailed upon to break it
iu favor of any one. We inaugura
ted the cash system in onr business
several years ago, and it has saved to
us thousands of dollars annually, the
loss of which would bankrupt us as
it has bankrupted many worthy, pub
lishers. It is urged that other par
ties send their publications on such
orders and wait for the money. To
this we have nothing to say. We
know that there are newspapers
which follow the credit system in
their business, and we also know that
such papers frequently full into the
inhospitable clutches of the Sherifl.—
If the Morning Xews is worth paying
for at all, it is worth paying for iu
advance.

TO OLIt MBSCRIBERS.
Onr experience a- publisher* farce
us to adopt the eisli or prepayment c
subsc ription system, and we respect
fully give notice that on the 1st day
of January next, onr hooks will ho
revised, mid the Albany News
will he sent to none except those who
have complied with our terms viz:
paid ill advance. The credit system
tines well enough in some lirtinelit 1
of business; hut In Out! of publishing
n newspaper it necessitates I lie open
ing of Hintill ledger aceoitnt*. which
would cost half the at to collect.
We do not wish our subscribers to
suppose for a moment that we are not
willing to credit them, or that we
doubt their ability and willingm
pay debts. In adopting this system
we are doing wind nil successful pub
lishers have had to resort to, and we
lliink onr friends will appreciate the
situation, and promptly come for
ward amt comply with the above
terms. We shall make no exceptions
in carrying out this rule. The rich
est and most prominent man on our
subscription list will he dropped as
soon as will he the poorest and most
humble. If a paper is wanted, nml is
worth paying for at nil it is worlli

ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
Mr. R. A. Ball Haverelr Cut by a Negro.
On Mouday evening Inst, nhnilt
dark, one Orse Smith, colored, at
tempted to cross Tift’s bridge with
out paving toll. Mr. R. A. Hall, the
bridge-keeper, demanded toll of him,
when the negro spoke very harshly
to him, but finally paid the amount,
saving to Mr. II.: “You stole that
nickel from me.” Mr. Hull Bien ap
proached Smith, when tiie latter
drew his knife and inflicted three se
vere wounds upon Mr. II.; one across
the forehead, another under the eve
and another on the left slum Icier. Mr.
Ypung, the bridge-watchman, at
tempted to arrest the negro, when the
black scoundrel cut liis clothing in
an attempt to kill him. A colored
man on the bridge then took hold,
anti the negro Smith slipped away
from him and made his escape.
Orse Smith, the escaped criminal,
is about thirty-five years old, and tiie
boss workman on the plantation of
Mr. I. Kieve about three miles from
town on the Blue Spring Road. It
is hardly probable that lie will escape
justice. Mr. Hall’s wounds are very
painful, but he was able to go to his
fathers home, Fort Valley,on Tuesday
and we hope he will soon recover.
Twenty fine Horses and Mules were
brought in on Tuesday by S. W.
Kahn, and will be sold at very low
prices. It will pay you to call on him
liefore purchasing elsewhere.

Notwithstanding the great number
of reported candidates for office in

three have made known their desires
through the public priut. The News
advertising columns present the fol
lowing :
DOUGHERTY COUNTY.
For Tax Receiver—Mr. Ad. Chas
tain, of East Dougherty, a young
planter, whose honesty, sobriety and
deserving character, are unquestion
ed, asks this office at the hands of onr
citizens.
Mr. II. A. Floyd, a yonng clerk in
the employ of Mr. A. Fields, this city,
is also a candidate for this office.—
Mr. Floyd’s experience as a book
keeper, his industry and perseverance
at once commend him as a fit man fqr
the position.
WORTH COUNTY.
Mr. Warren Shiver is a candidate
for Tax Collector of Worth county.—
Mr. Shiver’s interests are identified
with the people of Worth, aud he de
serves endorsement at their hands.
Capt. H. II. Rouse, of the Warwick

hare been taken for putting new life
into the effort to permanently estab

Albany Dramatic Association has

L. E. Welch lias donated about COO
volumes; Mr. A. IV. Muse 100 vol

lias a valuable collection of books,
sent out from tiie National Library
at Washington, and will probably
turn them over to the institution.

entertainment is to be given early in
November by the Amateurs for the
purpose of racing additional funds

ElMvjr Freight* Over the B. ft A.
The demand for carrying cotton
over tiie B. A A. R. It. is greater titan
is its capacity, and the consequence is
heavy losses to merchants on tiie line
of road, owing to the delay in ship
ping and constant decline in the price
of cotton. •-
We would lie pleased to see a daily
train over this road during the win
ter season, and think the road would
lose nothing iu making *he experi
ment. Merchants cannot pay as much
for cotton on a declining market,
Avitli tiie prospect of having to hold
indefinitely for shipment, as can
those who have daily shipping ad
vantages ; hence the driving to other
roads of cotton that legitimately be
longs to the B. & A.
We are confide.nt the officers would
remedy this complaint made hv the
people along the line, if they had the
rolling stock at their command ; bat
they have not, and must either move
along as now, or turn about and by
some menus provide such necessaries
as will put it iu a condition to pro
tect itself and to tmike money.
Come and get your Onion Setts.

COURT BUSINESS.
Court convened Monday morning
at ten, and adjourned at 2 p, m., fol
lowing day.
We were glad to note that business
was light, and that n hungry look
seemed to gleam from tiie eyes of the
lawyers. Whenever onr people stop
so much litigation, nnd in n cool, de
liberate and sensible manner settle
their petty disputes and misunder
standings “within themselves, iu
themselves,” they Avill be better oil.
There Avere three jail eases, one
agBinst John L. Beady, tcharged with
Murder; one agaiust Davis, for
ygamy; and one against a negro
tjoy charged with larceny from tlu
house. The first case \£Rs continued
by defendant; second,, continued
generally, and the third continued
by State for Avant of witnesses. Tin
bar and people seemed anxious to
have the presiding Judge attend the
monumental exercises in Augusta.
Knowing that such ceremonies are
noble and chfvalric, they believe
that the gallant cavalryman, Wright,
should he allowed to cotiimtine xvith
friends and associations of tiie Avar.
THE GRAND JURY.
■■.The Grand Jury, Win. Lippitl,
Foreman, made a report, shelving
some good workfor the Country. The
paper was recommended to be pub
lished in the News, but from some
cause it was mislaid, the reason of its
non-appearance this week. We Avill
in ail probability lay it before our
readers next issue.
COUNTY OFFICERS.
We remarked in a semilar article
ax this, last spring, that Worth could
congratulate herself upon having
such faithful and devoted officers to
attend to the business of tiie county,
and guard its interests. We again
reiterate what we said then. We be
came better acquainted with them
this last visit than ever before, and AA T e
most cheerfully lend our A-oice to
their praise.

and at one time Avas a noted summer
resort for * number of our people.—
But its prestige has departed—its glo
ry gone—and nothing but steel-rib
bed energy and Iron bound perscA-cr-
ance can save it.
TIIE “REMOVAL QUESTION.”
The Court House removal question
is exercising a good deal of attention
just now, and probably trill until it is
brought to an issue and settled. The
Grand Jury, we believe, recommend
ed that it be “removed to some point
on the railroad.” A bill allowing the
election to take place will be present
ed the coming Legislature. By the
way, the Representative front over
there,
MR. GREEN «. FORD.
will make a good and efficient mem
ber of the General Assembly, and
will put forth measures that will ben
efit our sectiou.

To the Citizens nnd Friends nt Large.
MV, the members of the A. M. E.
Church, do earnestly solicit your aid
our effort to build a church. You
may have read an article in the news-
paper some time ago, stating that we
had accumulated money enough, by
nickel contributions, to build the
church. That was a mistake. We
have never thought of building our
-litircli without allowing our white
friends to do for us here what they
have over done for us in other com
munities. We can truthfully sav that
there is not an Africah Methodist
Church in all the South where we
can not sec tiie visible marks of the
benevolence of our white friends, and
wc have been made to believe that
our white friends of Albany will help
its. Please help us, and we will as
sure you that what sum you may fa
vor tis with will be used for the pur
pose for which it is given. We de
sire, if possible, to lay the foundation
in November next.

The State Fair. '
letter from our SPECIAL CORRES
PONDENT—tiie first day—oonfu
HON AND CROWD—GENERAL FAIR
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Macon, Oct. 28th, 1878.
Editor* Albany News’.—The first
day is not generally recognized as an
exhibition day, nt least by tiie man
agers and exhibitors, and tiie opening
day of tiie Georgia State Agricultur
al’s annual fair, formed no exception
to the rule.- Your correspondent not
being certain that liis stay would al
low him to wait till the height of the
ecason, put in an appearance at an
early hour this morning to take
thiugs at the flood. Entering by the
massive gateway, the spacious and fa
miliar grounds appeared in fineorder,
and the superb foiloge of the park,
just taking on its variegated autum-
nul tints, never looked more beauti
ful, even in the spring. ’The weath
er too was as favorable as could have
been bespoken for the occasion, and,
baring the dust, everything over
which the management had no con
trol, seemed to conspire to ensure suc
cess.
Strolliug aimlessly through the
grounds aud buildings, the first im
pression created, was, tliat we had ar
rived about a week too soon. On
every aide was to be seen the debris
and confusion iucident to p re pat a lion
and adjustment. Crowds of w ork-
tueu aud exhibitors, were every*
where busy, ami new entries contin
ually arriving, blit it needed only a
little closer obsertution to show that
practiced hands aud eyes were at
work, and rapidly itringingorder out
of chaos. “HV always so the first
dsv,” everybody said, “by tomorrow
tilings will look Uiffereut.” Let us
hope so, and iu the meantime glance
casually at some lew of the more note
worthy object-on the grounds.
Maciliucry hall was nearly vacant,
but outside, awaiting space, was a
large miscellaneous collection of en
gines, gius, pres-es. agricultural im
plements and labor-saving machines,
•f every variety and patents, more
titan enough, we thought, to fill the
hall. On the south-side of the build
ing, worknteu were putting up the
large “Farqnubar” engine, from
Peunsvlvania, to run the machinery.
The display iu thisdepnrltueut prom
ises to be unusually fine, and we
impose to uotice it more at length
loreutter.
Passing on, the first thing to inter
est us was the Poultry Department;
presided over by Mai. S. M. H. Byrd,
of Cedartown, an old Quartermaster
in the army. The display here xva»
already fuller than any other «•
noticed, and new entries continually
coming. They embraced every de
scription of fowl, ducks and geese,
with all sorts of bewildering, foreign
uames, many of which, we’ll be sworn,
were never in the nomenclature of
Adam. They were very pretty,
nevertheless, and were a complete ex
hibition in themselves. The Major
was very courteous and proud of nis
department, and spelled out for us
several of the more unpronouncabie
breeds on the cards, with an occaj
sional disquisition on their merits as
breeders and layers, but I could not
avoid a suspicion that his genius had
not been consulted in making a chick
en man out of him.
The next display that drew our at
tention, was the cattle and sheep en
tries, by Mr. Wm Cannon, from Lon
don county, East Teutiessce, foremost
among which, was the immense Dur
ham Dull, ‘,the duke of Sodom,”
weighing 2,400 lbs., five years old.—
This bull and two other Durhamsand
a splendid looking Alderney, all en
tered bv the same gentleman, Wore
blue badges, awarded them last week
iu Atlanta. Mr. Cannon’s entries of
cattle were 15 in number, amoug
them, some of the finest Jerseys ana
Short-horns we have seen. His sheep
entries were a Southdown and a Cots-
wold ram, both large and splendid
specimens, and ewes of same breeds.
They ought to be bought aud sent to
Worth. Bnt the big bull! Ah, be
was a magnificent fellow. No fair
could be a failure with that bull on
the grounds. The defunct Albany
town bull wasn’t a circumstance.—
There were other cattle entries, but
they were uot numerous, and nothing
to compare with those of this exhibi
tor. They were coming in all day
however, and some of them may push
him as close os Peters did iu Atlanta.
The Swine Department is not very
full. We noticed several very fine
E ens of Chestershires and Berkshires,
ut nothing thus far to come to Mr.
Salter’s display at the Albany fair.
The Stock—the main attraction—
a- well as the displays iu the Floral
and Agricultural halls, must await
my next letter. The stock entries are
not all in yet, and the halls were in
too much confusion to see anything
to advantage. Tltc number of exhib
itors is very large, both at home aud
abroad. Tiie fair really begins to
morrow. Very few visitors were on
the grouuds to-day, though a very
large number are in the city and ar
riving by every train. I met Capt.
T. il. Johnston on the grounds, enter-
ingsome cotton for G. W. Stone, of
Dougherty, to compete for the pre
mium for the best 3 bales of crop lot.
We hope he’ll get it. Altogether, the
prospect ahead is most flattering for
a successful fair.
