and will destroy the blight.
The arrangements for the Ocmulgee
Chautauqua for 1895 are being made,

weeks corresponding with lecturers,

contracts have been entered into which
insure an attractive, entertaining and
instructive programme.
The most unique testament ever filed
in Chatham oounty was received by the
ordinary recently. George W. Shaf¬
fer, who died something over a week
ago, left an estate of ten thousand
dollars. Among other things he be¬
queathed several shares of Central
railroad stock to some of the charita¬
ble institutions and churches of the
city, providing that they should use
the income only and denying them the
power to sell or transfer it. At last
accounts Central railroad stocks were
selling for $10 and dividends are not
looked for again.

William T. Adams, of north Geor¬
gia, was arrested a few days ago and
placed in Fulton county jail on a
charge of attempting to defraud the
United States government by obtain¬
ing a pension to which he was not en¬
titled. Adams is about seventy-five
years old, and has been a fugitive from
justice fer nearly three years, the
crime which it is alleged that he com*
mitfeed, occurring in September, imper- 1892.
Adams is charged with having
sonated Martin Crawford, a soldier of
(the Seminole Indian war of 1838f in
that he signed an affidavit that he had
en t ered that war and served a suffi
cient length of time to entitle him to
a pension, but upon investigation by
the pension department at Washing
ton, where the affidavit went before
the pension could be granted, it was
discovered that Adam’s declaration
that he was Martin Crawford was un¬
true and that he had never served in
the war, as claimed in the affidavit.
Attorney Brown Discharged.
Attorney Julius Brown has been re¬
moved from the attorneyship of the
Western and Atlantic railroad, and the
charging of fees against the receiver
, is said to have been the cause. For
. near iy twenty years Mr. Brown has
j been the attorney for this road. When
, the road was under the management
| o[ Hon j oaeph E Br0WI| Mr Julius
_
Brown WM the attorney. When it
was placed in the hands of receivers,
his father and Major E. B. Stahlman
were given the appointment as re¬
ceivers.
These two gentlemen immediately
appointed Mr. Julius Brown as their
legal adviser. Ho, it is said, at the
time accepted the position with the un¬
derstanding that the amount of his
compensation was to be fixed by a
special master. This appointment was
made in 1891, and since that time, un¬
til his removal, Mr. Brown has held
the position. During the period that
he acted as attorney for the receivers,
$700,000 is said to have passed through
the hands of Major Stahlman.
Several weeks ago a special master
was appointed to fix the fee of Mr.
Brown for his four years’ services.
This special master is said to have al¬
lowed him on his claim $35,000, or 5
per cent of the total amount that was
handled by the receivers in the four
years. This amount is said to have
surprised Major Stahlman, and he at
once relieved Mr. Brown from further
service, and will, it is said, attempt to
manage his affairs without the aid of
an attorney.
Independent Farming.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
The losses of the Florida orange
growers during the recent cold spell
will cause them to turn their attention
to diversified farming. They should
now be convinced that while a cash
crop is a desirable thing it should not
receive their entire attention to the
exclusion of other crops. Nor is this
proposition confined to the Florida
farmers alone. It is equally applica¬
ble to the tillers of tho soil here in
Georgia. The necessity of planting
for ourselves rather than for others
has been forced upon our attention in
more than one rude lesson, and it is
time for us to profit by our expe¬
rience. In order to hold our own
against occasional periods of hard
times we should first supply
our own wants from our
own farms. A cash crop should be
cultivated, but if everything is subor¬
dinated to it, our farmers will fre¬
quently find themseives without cash
and without supplies. The farmer
who would be independent should first
provide for the wants of his family
with diversified food crops. With a
comfortable living assured he may
then devote his spare time to a cash
crop to provide money for his running
expenses, but the living crop should
always take precedence. This should
be the rule with our Georgia cotton
planters. They should plant first for
themselves and then plant for cash.
When a farmer produces everything
that his family and live stock eat he
is virtually independent of the mar¬
kets, and it will be no great task for
him to produce a cash crop that will
supply him with enough money to
satisfy his modest wants.
Th© Atlanta Exposition.
The Exporters and Importers' Jour¬
nal, New York, says:
The month of September, 1895, will
mark the beginning of a new epoch for
the southern states of this republic.
Ever since the civil war of 1861-1865
the south has been, in many ways,
handicapped in her industrial pursuits.
But always enterprising and energetic,
she has struggled manfully against the
stream, gaining strength, courage and
riches with each year, until at last a
point has been reached where she is
prepared to show to the world what
she has done and what she can yet do.
It is interesting to know that the cot¬
ton states are a unit in this enterprise,
and they promise, in many respects, to
rival the world’s fair at Chicago in the
excellence, scope and character of
their exposition. worth remarking
‘En passant,’ world it is educator
that the possesses no
that is worthy of comparison with
these mammoth expositions. Manu¬
facturing and natural products from
all parts of the globe ate grouped and
analyzed. Interchange of trade be¬
tween widely separated countries re¬
ceives an impetus which nothing else
would give it, and the whole world is
made wiser, better and richer and
bolder by the knowledge that is glean¬
ed, the methods that are learned, the
suggestions that are formulated and
the histories that are told by the ex¬
hibits. The wool growers of Australia
meets the cotton planter of the south;
the miner and farmer from Cape Col¬
ony rubs shoulders with the mechanic
and the factory owner of the new
world; the merchant from Eng¬
land, France, Germany, etc.,
hobnobs with tho merchants
from other quarters of the globe, and
each of these sees in the other not on¬
ly a purchaser and a consumer, but a
dealer and a seller. In other words,
he sees a trader—he scents trade, and,
when all is said, trade, not gold, is the
real basis of values. World’s Fairs
are only exchanges on a large scale
rendezvous for the meeting of ex¬
porter and importer, and in the ex¬
change the exporter becomes an im¬
porter and the importer becomes an
exporter. Such expositions are edu¬
cators, because they teach a man the
wisdom of being both, and show him
conclusively where he can find the
best markets for purchasers as well as
for sales.
NOT EVEN ON OATH.
Prof. Smith Says He Would Not Be¬
lieve Secretary Morton’s Assistant.
It has just become known that the
educational committee of the Tennes¬
see legislature, in session at Chatta¬
nooga, was treated to a tremendous
sensation during a star chamber ses¬
sion in which the state university at
Knoxville was under investigalion.
The state superintendent of education,
Frank Smith, appeared befoie them
and declared that he would not believe
President Dabney, who is also assist¬
ant to the secretary of agriculture,
Morton, on oath.
The professor testified that local
trustees called a meeting of the board
without giving previous notice to the
trustees at large, and then voted the
president a leave of absence to accept
a high government position, still con¬
tinuing his salary as president. Presi¬
dent Smith further charged that he
was present at a later meeting of the
trustees with enough proxies to defeat
the board’s former action, but that
the right to vote these proxies was de¬
nied him in conflict with the institu¬
tion’s rules.
The committee will report favorably
on the conduct of the state university,
especially on the recent introduction
of co-education. The fact that Presi¬
dent Dabney once disapproved of
Smith’s appointment to a chair in the
school gives his charges a selfish col¬
oring. Nevertheless they have pro¬
duced a decided sensation. Superin¬
tendent Smith insists that Dabney be
made to r* sign as president of the uni¬
versity.
JOBBERY CHARGED.
The Indications Are That Tennessee
Was to Be Robbed.
A Nashville special says: The peni*
tentiary committee heard only three
witnesses Wednesday. The most in¬
teresting testimony was by Represen¬
tative King, who said that he was sat¬
isfied that the specifications were load¬
ed, as they called for quartered oak
walks in front of cells, affording a
chance to make $40,000. They also
called for copper knees under the
roofing, when ordinary wire could be
used and fully $20,000 saved by the
contractors. He also told of informa¬
tion he had received at Knoxville to
the effect that John Honk was to have
been paid $7,500 for delaying Com¬
missioner Young, who is his father-in
law, and causing him to miss the train
the day before the bids were to have
been opened, the presumption being
that the parties alleged to have agreed
to pay Houk would have had some ad¬
vantage through Young's absence.
Commissioner McDowell later stated
to the committee that the bids were
not opened on the day originally set,
because of Judge Young's absence, he
having telegraphed that he had missed
the train. The bids were opened the
next day when Judge Young was pres¬
ent. The committee’s sessions are
secret.
CLEVELAND’S RETURN.
The President Back in Washington
After Eleven Days’ Outing.
President Cleveland returned to
Washington Saturday afternoon, af¬
ter his eleven days’ recreation on the
water. As he stepped down the gang¬
plank from the Violet to the wharf, he
looked hale and hearty, and smiled
broadly when somebody in the crowd
shouted, “Bring out the ducks.” There
was a glow of health upon his cheeks,
which was not there when he left Wash¬
ington, on March 5th, the day after
congress had adjourued.
Charged with Embezzlement.
Sheriff Bethea and Tax Collector
Peeples, of De Soto county, Fla., have
been arrested at Arcadia charged with
having embezzled county funds. The
of the defalcation is not known.
