THE FREE MtllMiE.
Next Tuesday, the 14th, tho hooks
lor registration on the bridge act will
• lose. In this issue of the News ap
pears a eard from Commissioners
Hoyt and Mayo, in which is stated the
opinion of the eouiniissioners that
tile bridge shall lie continued ns a
toll bridge for five or six years, or at
least until a sufficient sum shall lie re-
ali/ed to make the taxation necessary
to pay for the bridge, ns light ns pos
sible upon the tax-payers. \t e would
prefer that the bridge should. If pos
sible, he made free at oner. The in
tercets of Albany strongly duinnud
it. But the plan proposed hv the
eouiniissioners is perhaps wisest and
best under the circumstances, aud wc
shall give it our hearty support. We
believe that Albany's commercial in-
tere I demands a free access to the
city for her trade, and if wo cannot
get the bridge at onre, it is best to
get it as soon as possible. With that
view we urge upon tho voters to reg
ister at once, and vote for the free
bridge, even though qualified as is
proposed by the commissioners. We
have heard it said that if the propo-
iIion of He: eouiniissioners is accept
ed, .mil the bridge voted for, that the
present commissioners, or any siilise-
pii'iit hoard, could change the provis
ion, and at onre make the bridge ab
solutely free. This is urged by some
as an objection to voting for the
bridge, even with the qualification
amended that it shall he used forsev.
eral years as a toll bridge. Wc do
not think the objection valid. The
commissioners are required by the
let authorizing the issue of bonds to
so frame the question to he voted up
on that “yes" or “no" will lie a suffi-
eient and perfectly clear answer to
it. If, then, the condition proposed
by the commissioners be included in
tin* question, it becomes a part of it,
and if the people vote “yes” and adopt
the question, the condition necessari
ly accompanies it, and cannot at any
time nlterward he gotten rid of ex-
:ept by a vote of the people to change
t. So lets have the bridge, witli the
condition annexed, and ns soon ns
possible make it absolutely and for
ever free.

special bargains for the next few

Whereas, a number of applications
have been made lo the Commission
ers of Dougherty county, for infor
mation concerning the management
of the briilgo across Flint river, as to
whether *aid bridge will be rnado a
free bridge in fact from tlie date of
the consummation of the purchase,
if a purchase is made, or whether it
will be conducted ns a toll bridgo for
a time: AVo, as commissioners of
said county, deem it best Hint in case
of a purchase, said bridge should be
continued ns a toll bridge for the
space of, say five or six years, or to
such a dale that will allow tlie bridge
to pay for itself, or so nearly so as to
make the payments the least burden

Stewart’s English Opera Company
Opened an engagement at AVilling-

presenting Hie much celebrated and
terribly over-rated opera of Pinafore.
Quite a large audience greeted the
first appearance of the Troupe in onr
city, and seemed to lie happily onlcr-
tn'ned, but somewhat disappointed
in the play. The Troupe appealed
again on Tuesday evening, hut owing
to the inclemency of the weather only
a small audience was present. Mr.
Stewart seems to he a first-class gen
tleman, and strict business man, and
therefore, according to promise, pre-
lenteil Hie “Belles of Cornovill,”

gratified to learn that the officers of

Fair in a very energetic and success
ful way. and that they feel assured of
a brilliant exhibition. AYitliout the
aid of the “home folks,” however,
they can do nothing, and much still
depends upon tlie amount of interest
manifested by tlie farmers of South
west Georgia.
The ladies are especially urged to
work for the Fair, and to push up

'Flie Oldest ami tlie Largest!
Tlie first glimpse tlie traveler gets
of Albany as ho alights from the cars,
is a sight of the cotton warehouse of
Messrs. N. & A. F. Tift & Co. There
is no larger ono in South Georgia,
and on account of its close proximity
to tlie different railronils is appropri
ately called
•rift’s “railroad warehouse.”
For fourteen years this building lias
been tlie grand central receptacle for
a vast proportion of the cotton crop
of Southwest Georgia. Thousand*
upon thousands of bales have been
received, classified, weighed, stored
and sold within these walls in a man
ner entirely satisfactory to the pat
rons whose mimes arc “legion.”
MR. JAMES M. MKRCEIt,
one of Albany's oldest aud most
widely known and popular commer
cial men, Inis charge of til s ware
house, unit is ably assisted by Messrs..
R. A. Hull, II. liraut, and quite a
number of active colored men. Pos
sessing facilities unsurpassed for
bundling and shipping cotton, it is
no wonder that this firm enjoys such
a large patronage.
tn* TOWN.
At the corner of AVashington and
Pine streets, in that large two-story
double-room brick building, former
ly known as the “Cotton Exchange,”
is located tlie business olfico and
MAMMOTH STORE
belonging to tiiis firm. A telephone
line connects this building with the
warehouse, and is the only one over
introilueed in this section.
MR. T. M. CARTER,
tlie junior member of the firm, whose
business integrity, activity, forosight
and gonoral good judgmont are
known and appreciated by all who
iiave ever dealt with the house, has
charge here. Mr. T. N. AVoolfolk,
chief book-keeper, assisted by Messrs
J. M. Tift, David Robinson, and an
active young outside runner and
collector in tlie person of Ed. Kitch

Then passing into tho largo
STORE ROOM,
wc find busily engaged handling
goods, Messrs. N. F. Tift, S. Atkin
son, AV. E. Cutliff, and a number of
others. This mammoth store con
tains one of the largest aud best se
lected stocks of general merchandise
we ever saw. Everything is bran
new, and bought for cash at bottom
figures. There is not a piece of old
goods in the entire stock.
It would require too much of our
spare to enumerate tlie articles which
compose tiiis stock. Suliicc it lo sav,
it contains anything nud everything
that may he wanted in a general line
of merchandise, and that the firm is
iu a condition to sell on short profits.
Among the various articles wc may
mention dry goods, clothing, hoots,
slioes, liats, trunks, umbrellas, etc.—
In tlie grocery department: bacon,
corn, flour, hams, salt, syrups, canned
goods, etc.; hardware, cutlery, etc.
GENERAL PLANTATION SUPPLIES
is a spccialy with this house. Ever
since they opened business they have
each year made liberal advances to
planters, and thus etiablcd them to
oquip their farms and make their an
nual crops; aud now, since they have
opened the general merchandise de
partment, they aro better able titan
ever to furnish the goods needful.
They also deal extensively in wag
ons for plantation use, and in tiiis
particular branch of business are of
fering very extraordinary induce
ments.
tilNS, BELTING, ETC.
This firm are the oldest and largest
dealers in cotton gins, belting, en
gines, cutters, reapers, etc., in South
ern Georgia. They have done much
to induce farmers to use these auxil
iaries fo progress, and the fruits of
their efforts arc manifest on every
hand.
COTTON SALES-ROOM,

arranged cotton sale9-room in the
State, where a large corps of buyers

ways get the highest market price for
the staple.
N. A A. F. TIFT A Co’s
firm is known throughout this sec
tion, and no amount of word-paint
ing wc could givo them would add
to their reputation. The public is
cordially invited to go around, take
a look at their stock, examine prices,

your crops, nnd wo know yo.t will
not fail to give the house that consid

PROGRESSIVE COLORED PEOPLE,
tin Danger or an Eximits Auong This Class.
Editors Albany News: As your
valuable journal now has a consider
able circulation among the colored
people, allow me to present afew dot*
concerning them directly, and which
I am suro will he read with interest
by our white friends.
I desire to call special attention to
some of our progressive colored farm
ers, wlio Iiave never yet been attack
ed with the “Exodus” fever.
XACKEV DUNCAN, COL’d.,
who lives on the Newton road, is the
owner of live horses. He began with
out a drllar; sticks close to his busi
ness; makes good crops and is mak
ing money. Zarkcy says lie is trying
to show to the colored people of
Georgia that their State is far prefer
able to the far off lands of Kansas or
Colorado; and that lie intends to live
it out right here, and be buried be
neath the soil of G :orgia.
HENRY J. JEFFERSON, CXIL'd.,
of Baker county, is a go-ahead man.
He runs for himself this year 3 mules,
and thinks he will make 20 bales ot
cotton and plenty of corn, peas, pota
toes, etc.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, COL’d.,
formerly a slave of Mrs. Dr. Barlow,
lias purchased in the Southern part
of Dougherty 125 acres of land; and
is moving ahead. He owns three
horses, a good number of cattle, hogs,
etc., and has other property besides.
FRANKLIN L. LAWTON, COI.*D.,
who lives or the line of Bnker and
Dougherty counties, is also a pro
gressive farmer. He, as most of the
colored people, was set at liberty
without a dollar, lie now owns 20
head of cattle. 2 mutes, 2 horses, (one
of which ho raised) and other stock.
He is also the owner of an excellent
little plantation, for whiclt he paid
caslt some time since. Early last
spring lie had at his cotton shed four
or five bale* of cotton, and all hi*
debts paid.
These are only a few, Messrs. Edi
tors. of those wlio deserve notice, hill
I shall mention others hereafter
through yonr columns. There arc
many of us here wlio nre proud ot
our State, and who will not leave it.
As tlie Irishman said : “If wo live
anil do well,’we’ll be buriod here.”—
I have been through Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas, and 1
was sick from the time I got to Mont
gomery, Ala., 13 months, including
oue month after I left Shreveport, La.,
until I had been in Georgia one
mouth. Two moving* from place to
place in Georgia is equal to ono burn
ing, hut if wc colored people go too
far North, it will he equal to a freez
ing.
Just mention the fact in your paper
that the Sabbath sciiool celebration
at t.'hcrrr Hill, on Saturday last, was
an enjoyable occasion witli tlie color
ed people. More hereafter.
Very rcs|iectfully,
J. \\'. Neal, Colored.
Thanks to tlie legislators from
Dougherty county for what they sent
me from Atlanta.
Cnpt. C. P. Hansel), editor of (he
Thoinasvilie Enterprise, and calendar
clerk of tlie House of Representatives,
writing to his paper from Atlauta.
under a recent date, tints alludes to
Governor Colquitt:
“Governor Colquitt has been charg
ed by many wi:h negligence in the
performance of the duties of his office
in the inat*er of looking after the
management of the affairs of the
Treasury and of the Comptroller-
General’s office. AA'hile we have nev
er been a champion of the Governor,
we propose, if possible, to deal fairly
with every one. AA r o are informed
by an undoubted authority that the
records of the Governor's office will
show n most careful compliance with
nil the requirements of tlie law. That
in addition to the quarterly state
ments required to be made to hitn, he
examined every voucher, and made
the Treasurer and Comptroller sign
an affidavit each quarter that their
accounts were correct aud contained
a full, true and complete account of
all the transactions of their respective
offices. He seems to have done his
full duty and is not iu tho least to
blame for anything that has occur
red.”
The Washington Post boils the ex
odus agitation down to this great
truth: “AVhilc labor has produced
half the great cotton crop of Missis
sippi, and o large percentage of that
of other States, tho blacks arc ncedwl
in the Smith and it will he for their
interest lo stay there. But if North
ern miscliiol-makers lure them away,
their places can and will he filled.—
AV’lien any man or class of men think
they can't he spared, a great mistake
is generally made. There Is no placa
tilled by any man that can’t lie refill
ed when lie leaves it. Cotton will
ba raised because it is necessary anil
a paying crop. If tiic negroes will
not produce it, others will do that
work.”
Tlie editor of the Romo Courier
has been visiting the Georgia Legis
lature, nnd when lie returned to hi*
sanctum uttered the following plain
words:
“AVe think the Legislature has done
right and will he sustained so far as
esults arc concuriicd; but wo aro
*ati*ficd that the crimes of some and
peccadilloes of others who Iiave man
aged lo get into office are being used
by men wlio desire tlie overthrow of
the Democratic party to inflame tho
minds ol* the |>coplc against innocent
men and against tlie Democratic par
ty. AVe think we could discover two
extreme element* in tho House par
ticularly ; one hunt on driving the
Democracy to the wall, anil witting,
in order to reach that end, to cast as
persion on the soul of honor itself;
the other so fearful of compromising
the fair name of the party and their
own character that they will not al
low themselves outstripped in the
hunt for ’crookedness’ even by the
strongest opponent of Democracy.”

in that section, says: “AVo heard a
group of old and experienced farm
ers disenssing the cotton prospects a
few days since, when it was univer

tlie most difficult crop of their lives
to make an estimate upon. So it is,
almost universally. But few indeed
arc able to approximate the yield of
their own plantations with any de
gree ol certainty.”
