SPEAKING TO-DAY.
Hon. A. H: Stephens, the
Democratic Candidate for Gov
ernor, Hon; Thomas Hardeman,
Democratic Candidate for Con
gress for the State at Large, and
Gov. A. H. Colquitt, will ad
dress the citizens of Sumter and
surrounding country, at the
Grove near the depot, to-day at
10 o’clock. The public, and the
ladies especially, invited to at
tend. Hon. Dupont Guerry will
introduce the Speakers.
A. S. Cutts, Chm. Ex. Com.
E. G. Simmons, Secretary.
Gov. Colquitt has appointed Hon.
C. B. Wooten, Judge of the Albany
Circuit, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Warren.
Choose ye, and think well before
you choose, whom ye will serve.
Democracy, which is virtue and in
telligence, or Republicanism, which
is independentism, vice and igno
rance.
" ■ ■——
Governor Colquitt has been doing
yeomau service iu the cause of the
Democratic party at a time when such
help was needed. His last administra
tion has been a success, and among the
names mentioned for the Senate, he de
serves the votes of the Legislature for
that high office.
Home claims to do a business
amounting to $9,500,000 a year, as
follows: Wholesale, $2,000,000; re
tail, $2,000,000; cotton, $5,000,000;
manufacture, $500,000. The taxable
property of the city amounts to $3,-
300,000, $2,000,000 being real estate
and $1,300,000 personal property.
In the judgment of Col. Lamar, the
developments of the past three weeks
point unmistakably to the fact that
the great Georgia “ring” is going to
pieces. This is glory enough for one
campaign ; nevertheless the people will
crown it with the triumphant election
of the entire Democratic ticket by
handsome majorities.
The complete returns of taxable
property in Georgia for the year 1882
sum up $287,249,443 in value, against
$270,993,888 in 1881—an increase of
$17,071,288. The chief of in
crease are in city and town property
$4,831,186, improved lands $3,865,385.
The increase in railroad property is
$1,988,169, and in cotton mauufacto
ties $1,061,765.
Was it Plan or Prophecy ?
Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley will pro
bably be made an Earl for his brilliant
and successful campaign in Egypt. To
him belongs the credit for success, and
to him should fall the honor. His
plans are so exact that ho is said to
have pointed ont before leaving Eng
land Tel-El-Kebir as the place where
Arabi'would stand and be defeated be
fore the 15th of September.
Rev. Dr. Gross, an old time Baptist
preacher, acted as chaplain of the Dem
ocratic Convention at Springfield,
Illinois, last Thursday, and delivered
a fervent prayer, which was singularly
unique and appropriate, and it is to be
hoped will prove effectual. It was as
follows.
“O.Lord, we beseech the? to save us
from the devil. O Lord God, we be
seech tl.ea’to Straus from star route and
other thieves upon jjublic treasu
ry. O Lord God Almighty we pray
thee to save us from Republicanism.
For Christ's sake. Amen.”
Hon; J; B, Hudson.
# It Will be seen that J. B. Hudson, of
the county of Webster has announced
himself a candidate for the Legislature.
This it is claimed has been done at the
request of many friends. We have this
to say that Mr. Hudson is a young
man of fine ability and sobriety such as
to give confidence in whatever position
he may be placed, his strict attention to
the business assigned him assures suc
cess.
Mr. Hudson has been in the clerical
department of several Legislative bodies
is theiefore familiar with the nature of
Legislation could therefore at once enter
upon the discharge of his duties with
success.
No better man in our opinion can or
could be found in the county.
The Colored Voters.
The editor of the New York Globe is
an intelligent colored man and thinks
for himself, and his paper has been
recognized as the organ of his race. In
a recent issue he has declared open war
against the Republican party, and has
evidently burned all the bridges behind
him, judging from the following bold
utterances: “Whether they do it now
or in the future, the colored people of
the South will tarn to the Democratic
party for the protection which the Re
publican party has shown itself power
less to extend. Surrounded on all hands
by Democratic sentiment, Democratic
interests, they will certainly see it to
their interest to break off an alliance
which proves a drawback to them, as a
whipped General will make the best
terms possible with his victorious an.
tagonist.”
The Devouring Element.
It appears that 1882, thus far, has
outdone all its recent predecessors in
waste by fire in the United States and
Canada, the average for the four years,
1878-81, being $54,200,000 while the
loss in 1882 for the eight months has
been over $G1,000,000. The New York
Commercial Bulletin says: “The fire
record of August, although somewhat
less severe than that of the correspond
ing month of last year, shows an in
crease over any other August since
1875. In making our customary month
ly compilation from our own files, we
find that our record has made mention
of one hundred and fifty-one fires in
August where the reported loss has ex
ceeded SIO,OOO. The aggregate waste
caused by those one hundred and fifty
one fires foots up about $6,250,000, giv
ing an average loss of some $42,000 by
each of them. If we allow $1,750,000
for the loss by the multitude of fires
costing less than SIO,OOO, and by fires
whose occurrence is either unrecorded
or has escaped our notice, we have
$8,000,000 as the reasonable probable
cost to the country of the fires of last
month. Taking the Insurance Chroni
cle’s fire tables as our authority, this
would be some $600,000 less than the
fire waste in August, 1881, but $1,000,-
000 more than in August, 1880; nearly
$3,000,000 more than in August, 1879;
$2,110,000 more than in August, 1877;
$2,600,000 more than in August, 1878;
$1,700,000 more than in August, 1876;
and $4,000,000 more than in August,
1875.
Eliza Pinkston, who ent such a
prominent figure before the committee
of “visiting statesmen” with Radical
proclivities who were in New Orleans
in the spring of 1876 for the purpose of
making ont a case against the people
of Louisiana, has come to grief, as we
learn from the Canton, Miss., papers
that she was arraigned with a lot of
other thieves, on a charge of robbing
before Mayor Thomas, of that town,
and placed in jail to await the meeting
of the Circuit Court. “Mrs. Pinkston”
is in a had scrape, and she wants her
Republican friends to come to her re
lief immediately. She helped them
out of a tight place once, and it would
be but fair and honorable in them to
come to her relief in this extremity.

Augusta Evening News: A Georgia
freedman writes to the New York Sun
that “if the white-washed carpet bag
gers now in Georgia would leave the
State and go and fight the Indians, it
would be a good thing for both the
whites and blacks. We should under
stand each other better and advance
faster. We would all be better citi
zens.” The colored citizen who utter
ed the above sentiment had a level
head. He might, however, have added
hungry office-seekers, labeled “Inde
pendents,” to the “whitewashed carpet
baggers.”

Address of the Cblnmittee on the
Hill Mouunlent Fund.
To the People of Georgia: We have
been commissioned to communicate
with you concerning the building of a
Monument in memory of Benjamin H.
Hill. Our appointment was formally
made by the Hill Monument Associa
tion, just now organized, but that or
ganization originated in demands which
came from so many parts of the coun
try, and were of such character that they
could not bo resisted. The press of
Georgia first gave cordial expression of
the opinion that some great and dura
ble token of the public esteem for our
departed statesman should be contrived.
Many letters from various parts of the
Union, particularly from Virginia and
Louisiana, addressed to persons in At
lanta, also called appealingly for a
memorial movement to be inaugurated
in the Capital city of Georgia. And
thus in compliance with the wishes of
many affectionate friends, as well as in
obedience to the dictates of their own
hearts, a number of people recently as
sembled and formed the Hill Monument
Association, to raise funds and erect a
monument that shall speak with im
pressive ed enrolling eloquence for
ages to come.
The desire to perpetuate in durable
bronze the natural figure and the well
won fame of this eminent citizen is wor
thy of the people who feel it, and he
himself was well worthy of the great
honor which his people desire to confer.
Monuments mark the prevalence of some
lofty sentiment which caused their con
struction. They honor as much their
builders as the distinguished men in
whose credit tlipy were created. People
whose favorites fall are moved by the
noblest motives to call to the quarries
for marble, to the mines for metal, and
to man for skill to embody in appro
priate form their most sacred feeling.
Our country even in its first century
began to build these mementos of pa
triots iu testimony of tlje truth that at
least our republic will not be ungrate
ful. Georgia also has erected a few of
these great tokens of public apprecia
tion. The noble foreigner, Count Pu
laski, who fought and fell for our liber
ty on our soil, has a monument in
Savannah that kesps him in tlm vivid
lemembranco and warm affections of
Americans. Another column in Au
gusta speaks the praises of the Geor
gians who signed the Declaration of
Independence. Costly columns in many
cities and towns tell the tribute which
all hearts pay to the valor of the Con
federate dead, So also portraits of
Georgians who have done eminent pub
lic service have been suspended in hon
orable positions to keep their likeness
in perpetual memory. Who could
question the appropriateness of adding
to the ornament and honor of Georgia
by raising a life-like statue of Hill in
the Capital of his native State?
We believe that snch a monument as
you will raise will be a worthy memo
rial of the great Senator, to whom his
State is indebted far more than is gen
erally known, and also a lasting in
spiration to our children—a potent edu
cator whose training will blend happily
with the noblest efforts of this day to
rear a generation of men imbued with
the spirit of enterprise, culture, patriot
ism and religion. The statne of Hill
will exhibit a physical giace that may
well be the study of artists for ages. It
will speak on with enhancing eloquence
to our children’s children long after we
have joined his spirit in the spirit land,
and move them to cultivate that art of
arts which he used so well. It will
train our young countrymen to just and
generous love of country, for it will send
them to study a political life whose
most prominent feature was its ardent
patriotism. It will bespeak attention
to law as the basis and bond of society,
for he was a jurist who gave luster to
the jurisprudence of his State. It will
advocate education and proclaim relig
ion, for he was the cultured friend of
the first, and with wonderful utterance
in his last days set torth the great prin
ciples of the last. He illustrated Geor
gia—defended her—silenced the foes
who maligned her name—gave her
power and place in the Union—earnest
ly yearned for her love and delighted to
die in her domain and repose in her
dust. For these and countless other
causes we would.honor his memory for
ever.
In conclusion, we would call your at
tention to a few practical and important
details which will also more fully ap
pear in other communications. It is
desired that at least $25,000 shall he
raised during the next three months
from the contributions of Georgians,
and to this end practical arrangement
will be made to reach the people. The
money will be placed on deposit in the
Gate City National Bank, whose Presi
dent is the Treasurer of this monument
fund, and he is under a bond ot twenty
five thousand dollars as Treasurer.
Every contribution will be cash and
will be publicly acknowledged in the
Constitution and other papers. Every
needed guaranty has been given to as
sure a faithful execution of the trust to
raise a monument to the memory of
Senator Hill worthy of his great fame.
And we fervently hope that the noble
work in which we now so heartily en
gage rnay very soon have its proper
consummation.

Gen. Gartrell and the AhiOrica
Colonization society*
Rome Courier.
Gen. W. T. Wofford, in his speech
at Calhoun on last Tuesday, cited the
case of the American Colonization So
ciety vs. L. J. Gartrell—23d Georgia
Reports, p. 448 — t0 show the practical
symphathy of Gen. Gartrell, now a
candidate for Governor, for the negroes.
As this case is likely to figure in the
canvass from now until the day ol the
election, we have procured the volumn
of Supreme Court Reports referred to
and make up from it a very brief
statement of the facts in the case.
Francis Gideon, of Fulton county,
made a will on the 25th of May, 1853,
and died in the same year. By this
will he directed that his negro slaves,
of whom he owned quite a number,
should be turned over to the American
Colonization Society, to be by that So
ciety colonization in the free negro col
onp of Liberia .The two executors named
in the will refused to qualify and exe
cute it, whereupon Lucius J. Gartrell,
whose wife was a daughter of Gideon,
qualified as administrator with the
will annexed, and took charge of the
estate. Mrs, Gartrell died soon after
'Tfffds, and L. J. Gartrell hecamc the
absolute iuheritor of onethird of the
property of Gideon. Then the Col
onization Society brought suit against
him to compel him to surrender the
negroes to that Society, so that it
might carry out the intention and
the will of Gideon. Gartrell defended
the suit it was carried to the Supreme
Court, and that court decided the case
in his favor upon a technicality. It
decided that Gideon bequeathed slaves
to the Colonization Society, to be col
onized in Africa, whereas it was only
authorized by its charter to receive and
send to Africa “free people of color re
siding in the United States.” Thus it
was Gen. Gartrell held these negroes
iu slavery contrary to the intention
and will of their deceased former mas
ter,
It is by no means agreeable to us to
have to refer to these old matters in
connection with a candidate’s record.
But as an effort is being made hv the
white Republicans of Georgia, in ac
cordance with what is called the Pres
ident’s Southern policy, to rally the
negroes in mass for Gen. Gartrell, and
thus to carry race against race, it is
proper that the negroes should
be made acquainted with his antece
dents that affect his claims for their
support,

Atlanta’s Public Schools.
Condensed from tlie Constitution.
The Atlanta public schools resumed
their session one week ago yesterday,
and the exhibit for the first week has
been particularly gratifying. At the
close of the first week of the session,
there were four thousand children pres
ent, under the charge of seventy-six
teaohers. The appropriation for the
coming year for school purposes is the
liberal sum of $52,000. Of this amount
$40,000 will run the schools during the
year, leaving $12,000 with which to
build new schools, the Board of Educa
tion being determined to build one new
school ol six hundred and fifty seats
each year, nntil the school accommoda
tions are amply sufficient to meet the
demands of th# school population,
which, by the July census, was 11,100
children. The applications have in
creased largely—l,soo new names hav
ing been enrolled since July Ist—l,ooo
white and 500 colored. Of the 1,000
white children thus applying for seats,
three-fifths are of new families that
have come in, which represents fully
2,500 added to the population of the
city within the past three months.
Scores of families have been attracted
to Atlanta because of her superb school
privileges. The cost of education each
child is just nine dollars per year, or
one dollar per month, the white teach
ers from SSOO to $1,200 per year. The
principals get $1,400 to $1,600 per
year, and the Superintendent $2,000.
There are sixteen schools, and the
board, for the first time this year, has
put the colored schools entirely in
charge of oolored teachers, whose sala
ries range from $450 to $750 per year.
The Bchool property, real estate and
buildings in Atlanta is valued at $250,-
000. Colonel Hammond is the only
native Georgian on the Board of Edu
cation. Nine States and Europe are
represented on the board, and of the
thirteen members three are from New
England. They get no salary, and
