Quitman Reporter: It is a matter
for congratulation, and to ns very
pleasing, to learn tliat considerable
more attention has been paid this
year to the cultivation of rice in South
Georgia aad Florida than in former
years. In Brooks county its cultiva
tion has been increased 1,000 per cent.
It Is also pleasant to know that there
Is a good demand and, that it com
mands a fair price.
From a young gentleman who
assisting in the erection of a rice mill
at Bellville, Florida, \vc learn that
the farmers in that .vicinity are plant
ing it even more largely than in onr
county. Some of the farmers in that
neighborhood, he says, have planted
as much as thirty Seres, and that the
yield will he very fine—he thinks
thirty bushels per acre a fair average.
He gives us the farther information,
that the owners or the mill will pay
one dollar per bushel for it in the
Held. If this estimate be correct, and
we are not at all credulous in regard
to itj.the farmer who has thirty acres
planted in rice can tend it with the
force of a one-horse farm, will re
ceive for it nine hundred dollars, and
be saved the expense of harvesting
his crop..
Among the replies to an advertise'
ment of a music committee for a 1 can
didate as organist, music teacher,”
etc, was the following one: “Gentle
men, I noticed your advertisement
lor an organist, and music teacher, ei
tber lady or gentleman. Having
been both for several years, I offer
you my services.”
By the way, exclaims a social philos
opber, when the wearer is very pret
ty, one never looks at her dies*; and
when the toilet is itry striking, one
forgets to look at the wearer. In the
first place, the dress is an adjunct to
the woman, in the latter the woman
is an accessory of the dress.

unorganized, and
not been able to prove
their charges against jiltn, hut that
now things were in a ship shape;
tint the opppositlon had a leader;
that Mr. Norwood “had the papers'
and would use them. Such rumors
had of course aroused onr curiosity
ami we were anxious for Mr. Nor
wood’s first appearance; we wanted
to soe ids hand, to examine his pa
pers, to hear his guns and see what
sort of shot he used.
And we have been satisfied. Mr.
Norwood has spoken, and wo can*
didly think his effort lamentably
weak. His own adherents must feel
that he lias made a poor start. He
charged Governor Colquitt with the
Alston and Murphy fees, making tlic
point among others that ho did not
ask the advico of the Attorney-Gen
eral in either case. Our readers lmvo
had a AD review of both sides of
those questions, anil wo will not di
late. Ho further charged tho Gov
ernor with neglecting to see that the
convicts were properly cared for.—
In reply we present in another col
umn some facts given by Mr. J. TV.
Nelms, Keeper of tho Penitentiary,
which completely confute tho charge,
or else throw tho blamo on others,
and entirely relieve Governor Col-
But the most original.charges that
Mr. Norwood made were that Gov
ernor Colquitt was guilty of appoint
ing men to offico in order to reap
personal benefit from . tho appoint
ment. To illustrate, Mr. Norwood
said that cx-Govcruor Smith was
opposed to Gov. Colquitt and that
ttie Governor appointed him Bail'
r.iad Commissioner in order to pro
pitiate him and weaken, his opposi
tion. The inference that Governor
Smith’s convictions are so easily
overcomoand his favor so cheaply
bought, must bo flattering and pleas
ing to the gentlemen. Mr. Norwood
a’so said that Gov. Brown’s appoint
ment was made solely from motives
o ' personal benefit and advantage.
Admitting the assertions lobe true,
it is fortunate that in looking out. for
hit own interests the Governor also
looked after the welfare of the State
as certainly seems to be the popular
verdict in regard to the appointments,
however distatefal they may be to
the prejudices and views of many.
But we do not believe Mr. Nor
wood’s statement We believe that
there are men who can rise above
personal prejudice or popular clam
or, and act from’convictions of duty.
And we think that Governor Colquitt
was actuated purely by a desire for
the good- of the State. 'We regret
that Mr. Norwood seems unable to
appreciate such an action.
But Mr. Norwood’s statement does
not prove the fact It is a charge to
which any man is open. No act of
patriotism, or lofty-niindedness is
free from the assaults of the suspi
cions and envious. For instance, it.
might be said of. Mr. Norwood, de
spite his declaration that be did not
seek the candidacy, that he went to
the convention hoping that he would
be the dark horse in case of a failure
to nominate. It might also bo said
that his opposition to Governor Col
quitt is purely personal, growing out
of tlie fact that the governor failed to
appoint him to the vacant senatorsbip.
Saying so would by no means prove
it, but Mr. Norwood’s charge against
Governor Colqnitt on the principle
that “to the pure all things arc pare,”
certalnly opens the way for suspicion
that his opposition and. candidacy
are not so disinterested as ha. would
have it appear. But we have no war
to make npon Mr. Norwood’s char
acter. We do not desire to dismiss it
or defame it. We merely allude to
this view to show that any motive or
action, however pare and lofty is open
to misrepresentation. Wo only regret
that Mr. Norwood should have seen
proper to indulge in an argument so
little and unworthy. If flings such
as these are to be his stock in trade
for this campaign it will take no
prophet to foretell the result. Such
wares are not made of strong enough
material; they are too transparent
and the popular eye can readily per
ceive the slum.
Let Mr. Norwood abandon this
line. Ills higher manhood certainly
docs not prompt it. If he can not find
material enough in the old charges
against the Governor or cannot find
new ones, let liim,-if he wilt persist
in leading his clamorous followers,
• ick totheofd methods that the oppo
sition hare so long employed to de
feat Governor Colquitt. Many of
them are stronger,—few of (hum are
as belittling as the charges to which
we refer.

SPENCE, or MlTtm-
KLL.
Editors Albany ATeicr:
Your correspondent was one of a
pleasant party that left Albany on
Wednesday morning last for tho
grand hnrheeno at llardnp. I will
not stop to relate the details of the
journey, despite somo delay in get
ting off, (due of course to the ladles,
although they > stoutly deny It) and
our chagrin at finding our “team,
which hail been represented to us as a
“regular 2:40 turn out,” to bo the
tamest of tho tame, and tho slowest
of tho slow, onr trip was enlivened
by pleasant chat, and we arrived in
duo timo at tho place of tho barbccuo.
Tim spot selected was a beautiful
dell, shadowed by stately trees, and
was cool and delightful. Soon after
we arrived the crowd began to gath
er, and they came in numbers. Al
bany was well represented. There
was—hut to be brief, everybody who
could get off was there, and a pleas
ant, good-humored, jolly crowd it
was.
Conspicuous among tho assemblage
as lion. H. G. Turner, the nominee
for Congress from this District, who
had been announced to speak on the
occasion. At eleven o’clock tho crowd
assembled around tho platform to
hear the distinguished speaker, lion
S. P. Davis, C’jairman of tho Com
mittee of Arrangements, in an appro
priate spcoch introduced Hr. Turner,
who proceeded to address the assem
blage on tho national issues^ of. the
campaign, lie roviow od Garfield’s
record, and among other things gave
onr colored friends somo well-timed
advice. lie spoke only a short w|iilc
and was frequently applauded, llis
manlier and appearance are very
striking. lie impressed his audience
as being a determined, earnest, decis
ive man,'and at once convinced them
of Ids ability.
Judge W. T. Jones, of Albany, was
next called on, ami entertained the
crowd with a few remarks. Mr.
J. W. Wallers was also, colled mid
happily responded.
After him Mr. J. II. Spence, ofCainil
la, arose in response to calls, and ad
dressed the meeting. Mr. Spence
stated that ho was going to run for
Congress'as an Independent. That,
iicxl to.himself, he would rather see
Mr. Turner elected ; that if a Radical
was brought out he would comedown
and not jeopardise the party, but
that unless such was the case ho
thought he ImiLas good a right as
Mr. Turner to go to Congress, aud
he should make the race. He chal
lenged Mr. Turner to slump the Dis
trict with him. With a few other
sucli remarks he sat down, amid
sounds of hisses, which indicated that
there were very few Spence meu in
that neighborhood. Mr. Spence was
exceedingly funny. Whether or not
he so intended it, his speech was
amusing, and he will find himself
with a case of dry grins before loug.
Baker county is “organized” to the
core, and tie got cold comfort from
those present.
Mr. Turner’s reply to Mr. Spence
was iuimitable. He attacked him
with the most polished wit and re
sistless sarcasm.. All the time lie
spol^e the crowd was convulsed with
laughter, and when he closed ho lelt
Mr. Spence shorn of his feathers and
discomfited. .Wc hope the latter will
reconsider his determination. . If l.i
thinks a moment he will see that his
election is out of the question, and
the only effect of Ills candidacy will
be to cause dissension in the party
and to injure his chances for the fu
ture.
After the speaking came {he dinr
ner; an abundance of it and just as
tempting and delicious as any one
could wish. It was the usual case
plenty of good things, an attack by
the crowd and the eventual defeat of
the eatables. After dinner was Hie
dancing, and with • that and oilier
pleasing occupations the day paysed
happily by and as evening approach
ed the crowd dispersed universally
agreeing that the barbecue had been
a complete success.
It was flic writer’s good fortune to
receive an invitation to tea with Mr.
W. E. Ciiilireth, aud once again the
hospitalities of his pleasant home arc
mingled with onrbappy recollections
of old Baker. To her good people
wc, with others of Albany, would re
turn HiatiLt for the pleasant time
they gave us, and hope that bounte
oils prosperity may ever tall to their
lot. S.
An interesting curiosity is a tetter
written by Martha Washington from
Mount Vernon on the Clh of April,
17t>2, anil owned by Mrs. J. Reid, of
Andover, Mass. In it Mrs. Washing
ton acknowledges the receipt of some
“Syder,” aud speaks of her own and
Mr. Washington’s “hclth.”
in this city. It is his right to dUcula
any public institution in the slate
provided he gives'the facts as they
arc. But lie lias failed to do that In
this instance, If the gentleman is
conversant with tho facts of the Al
ston report, ho knows that the said
report was not adopted by the gener
al assembly of 1878, and ho knows
Hint tho general assembly did adopt
in lieu tlioreof the following resolu
tion (page 417, acts of 1878):
Resolved, By the house of repre
sentatives, tho senate concurring, that
his excellency the governor, be re
quested to inquire whether aiiy pen
alty or forfeiture hava been Incurred
by any lessees of penitentiary con
victs, and to take any steps or pro
ceedings necessary and proper to en
force such penalties or forfeitures,
aud to protect in any legal way to in
sure humane treatment of said con
victs and to caucel the contract with
any of said lessees who have failed to
comply with their contracts - in re
gard to the humane treatment of said
convicts.
From this you can see to what ex
tent that charge Is true. Again. Mr.
Norwood appears to bo ignorant of
the law, he so much desires to ad
minister, for he says there are five
hundred escapes now at large and a
penalty of two hundred dollars for
each of said convicts. Now, If Mr.
Norwood had only taken the trouble
to get tlie facts, he would have found
that the penalty oftwohundrod dollars
did not go into effect until tlie first
day of April, 1879, since which time
there has been nineteen escapes—one
from Dado coal company, for which
tho president of said company, tho
Hon. Joseph & Brown, paid tlie pen
ally of two hundred dollars without
suit The other eighteen escapes
from Howard, Low, Grant, Smith,
and the M. & N. G. railroad, will lie
held to strict account (orsaid escapes.
So much then for attempting to make
a man responsible for the enforce
ment of a law that never did exist
Mr. Norwood says: “I will cor
rect tlie abuses of the present convict
system.” Now, let us see what tlie
difforent'grand furies of tlie State say.
Tho following are -extracts from
tlie Presentments of the Grand Juries
of the several counties:
halfvi
The gfentlemcn of tho minority llifoiv
up Hudr hats and abOUted thi-iiltt^lvca
lionise when Judge Lawson's name
was presented. When it eume to
tho ballot they voted for their re
spective candidates. The gag-law,
of which they so bitterly complain
as excluding citizens other than those
named from being placed in nomina
tion, did not exclude Col. Reid
from nominating Judge Lawson.—
Their committees of conference, ns
their subsequent action proves, meant
in every instance,'as a condition pre
cedent to any compromise, the ex
clusion of Governor Colquitt’s name
from the favorable consideration of
the conveii’ion. That was tile spirit
which actuated the minority: The
many would not consent to the dicta
tion of the few. And the minority,
loilowing tbo example of the solitary
juror who elood out in opposition to
the eleven, pronounced tlie conduct
of the majority as stubborn and un
reasonable.
BIOHXOND COUNTY.
“We have made two visits to the
convict camp in this county. We find
their quarters fully sufficient, and
well kept ; clothing and food ample.
Convicts were offered futl aud free
opportunities to make complaints,
but withont exception expressed
themselves satisfied.”
DOUGHERTY COUNTY.
“The penitentiary in this county Is
managed by Col. Ben. Lockott. 'He
has about 180, divided into three
camps. The prisoners are properly
worked and guarded, well fed aud
clothed, aud lodged in safe, clean
and well ventilated apartments. Wc
congratulate the citizens of this coun
ty on the faithful administration - of
the law for penitentiary convicts."
JEFFERSON COUNTY.
“We had ample opportunity to
converse with the convicts; we heard
no complaiftts. and think the priso
ners have every comfort to which
they are entitled to under the law.—
They buildings are well adapted for
the purpose for which they were in
tended. The number confined at this
camp is two hundred and six. The
mortality for the last year hasamoun-
ted to four deaths. We take pleasure
in confirming the good reports pre
vionsly made by the citizens of this
county,”
OGLETHORPE COUNTY.
“Said camp is in good order, clean
and comfortable; excellent water;
prisouers all well and well provided
with good clothes; provisions plenty
and wholesome; medical attention
when needed, and.the rules aud reg
ulations seem to us to be reasonable
and just, in compliance with' the spir
it uud letter of the law.”
' DADE COUNTY.
“Wc have made a careful invest:
gation of the camp in this coqtity
and we find the management good,
tlie food aud clothing of the best and
in abundance; the sanitary condition
the very best, mid that Dade county

We have placed the name of Hon.
J. E. Brown at the head of our col
umns, as our choice for United States
senator, to fill the unexpired term of
General John B. Gordon, resigned.
He may not he your choice for sens
tor. We have no quarrel to make
with you on that account. You have
the right to oppose him. W e do not
object. He is onr choice. You will
then allow us the same privilege that
you enjoy yourself. We favor the
election of Senator Brown because he
lias brains and knows how to employ
them. We honestly believe ho can
do more towards the advancement
of tho real interests of Georgia than
any half dozen other gentlemen
named-for the place. With Hill and
Brown in tlie senate, Georgia is more
ably represented than any other state
in the union. There is no way ot

A party of scapegraces meeting a

The Boston Transcript says the
time is near at hand for an amend
ment to the Constitulion giving each
district two members of Congress In
stead of one. One of these could look
after tlie errands, push claims, get
pensions, forward seeds and docu
ments and do other odd jobs, while
the other would have a chance to at
tend to public affairs. As it is, with
only ono man to do the work, inas
much as folks insist on seeds and
tilings, the public business gets the
go-by.
Austin Texas, August 18.—A new
sort of poisoning seems to have brok
en out in . certain localities in this
state. A report comes here to-day
of the fatal poisoning of six men un
der very peculiar circumstances in
Falls county. A day or two since
six white men. citizens of tlie neigh
borhood, were'riding along the road,
when, observing a farmer at work in
bis watermelon patch, near tlie road
side, they called to and obtained per
mission from him to get down and
help themselves to melons. One or
two of tlie largest melons were se
lected aud Hie men proceeded to caL
Very soon they became deathly sick.
Throe of them died while attempting
to climb the fettec, and (lie sixth man
fell dead while trying to mount Ids
horse. Tho owner of tlie melons is
said to have disclaimed any knowl
edge) os to what caused tlie fatal re
sults, claiming that lie hnd himself
eaten heartily of the melons in tlie
same patcti just before tlie men rode
tip. lie is said' to have been taken
in hand by a number of incensed cit
izens, who would undoubtedly have
lynched him uu tlie spot but for the
apparent candor of his statement. A
few days ago a county paper publish
ed near here printed a statement that
n black boy had been fatally poisoned
by arsenic found in a Watermelon
which tho hoy had stolon. The theo
ry obtains that these niclous grew in
cotton patches wher Paris green is
usedto kill boll worm, hence the poi
son.
Belleville, III., August 18—One of
tho most horrible mid bloody (rage
dies knowu in the history of this
country was enacted about- three
o’clock this afternoon, in the little
mining village of Bunker Hill, situa
ted on the bluffs, six miles west of
hero, on the Cairo Short line. Tlie
victims were Harry Cardwell and his
wife, and tlie latter being murdered
by her husband, who afterward end
ed liis own miserable life by cutting
bis throat with a razor!
Mrs. Cardwell was lying asleep on
her bed when her husband, with min
der in his heart, slipped into <he room
and with n heavily loaded shot-gun
blew her head to pieces, killing her
instantly. The murderer then seized a
razor and cut his throat, after which
he slnggcrcd to Ihc door, and throw
ing it <t|>en commenced to yell mur
der. Tlie cry ati ratted the attention
of the neighbors, who rushed to their
doors to see tv’liat was tlie matter.—
Cardwell standsng in his door witli
liis throat cut almost from oar to ear,
and blood streaming down liis per
son, was the sight that greeted their
eyes. Proceeding to the honse they
found that murder Imd also .been com
initted. It will take a coroner's in
quest to develop the causes leading to
this tragedy.
Bloody Biot.
Loudon, August 18—During the ri
ot at Dunganion Sunday, many of the
police were wounded, ami their ranks
were several times broken. -They fi
nally fired buckshot, into the crowd.
The firing was returned from revolv
ers, ami showers of stones fell. Many
of the rioters almost rushed on the
points of the bayonets, in the eager
ness of their attack. Subsequently, a
volley of halls was fired, and many
were wouudod. One man had the
side of his bond riddled with buck
shot, and received a bullet 41 the nb-
doinon, from the effects of which he
died Shortly after.
At Downpatrick, in a fight between
Catholics and Orangemen, firearms
were used incessantly from l o’clock
Sunday night, till It o’clock Monday
morning. Several persons were se
riously wounded.
A Dublin dispatch to tlie Times, says,
iu consequence of tlie statement'of
Mr. Forster, chief secretary for Ire
land, Hint a thousand marines would
bcqilaltercd in Mayo, attention will
ho eagerly directed thither for some
time to come, and some sort of confir
mation will be l»o lent to the rumors
that the government expected an in
surrection among the ponsanlry. The
marines, in that' case, will act as a
substitute for tlie preservation oflatv
and save the government tlie humil
iation of appealing to 1’nrliniucnt for
special powers. There have, howev
er, been no open indications of any in
tended disturbances, and (o most pen
pie here tlie notion of a rising scums
highly* absurd.
London, August 18.—A special
