Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. FOR COXGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE: THOMAS HARDEMAN, OF 8188. FOR CONGRESS 3rd DISTRICT; JUDGE C. F. CRISP, OF SUMTER. Election Tuesday, November 7th, 1882. APPOINTMENTS. Charles F. Crisp, Democratic nominee for Congress from the Third Congressional District, will address his fellow-citizens at the following named time and places. All are in vited to attend: Vienna, Friday, Oct. 13. Americus, Monday, Oct. IC. Eastman, Tuesday, Oct. 17. Mcßae, Thursday, Oct. 19. Mt. Vernon, Monday, Oct. 23. Montezuma, Wednesday, Oct. 25. Lumpkin, Friday, Oct. 27. Preston, Monday, Oct. 30. Ellaville, Wednesday, Nov. 1. Oglethorpe, Thursday, Nov. 2. Leesburg, Saturday, Nov. 4. The next session of the Grand Lodge of Georgia, F. A. M., will be held in Macon, on Tuesday, October 31st, 1882. Democrats of the Third Congress ional district, drive the nail home on Tuesday, the 7th of November, bygiv ing Crisp a rousing majority. Gov Foster, of Ohio, says that the annual proceeds of the sale of liquor at retail in that State are $70,000,000, and that one-lialf of this sum is net profit to the bar-keepers. Mr. Stephens has sent to the Gover nor his resignation as a member of Con gress. An election has been ordered in that District on November 7th for his successor for the unexpired term. Three new Central Railroad coaches for its fast line from Savannah to At lanta, have arrived in Macon. The new schedule will go into effect on the loth hist. Now watch out and see what the E. T. V. & G. will do. From all indications revealed by the official returns, it is probable that Mr. Stephens’ majority in the State will be 65,000. This majority will throw a wet blanket over the hopes of the Independent candidates for Congress and work their defeat in every Con gressional district, - ■— The names of Colquitt, Jackson, Hammond, Lawton and Black are frequently mentioned in connection with the Senatorship of Georgia. Notone of these gentlemen is the mental superior of Judge Willis Hawkins of Americus. In matters of law, constitutional rights and the entire fundamental principles of government, he is the peer of any. Hou. Allen Fort for Judge of the Southwestern Circuit. How many may be aspirants for the Judgeship of the Southwestern circuit we know not, nor endorsing the claims of the gentleman whose name heads this article, we would not be understood as disparaging the claims of any other per son. We do know that Colonel Fort will be a candidate before the next General Assembly for that position. Colonel Fort is a prominent member of the Americus bar, and has worked his way up by industry and close at tention to business. He has filled every position of honor which he desired and was in the gift of the county and we think the weight ot popular sentiment in the circuit if consulted would place him on the bench. His acquaintance with the litigations of the people fit him for active and ready work, and qualify him as a fit and able successor to that bright light of jurisprudence, Hon. C. F. Crisp. Don’t wau’t Colored P. O. Clerks. Chattanooga, Oct. 7. —Considerable comment has been made on an article that appeared in the Democrat this morning, stating that a negro would take a place in the post-office to-day. True to the statement he did so, and is bow a companion of lady clerks. The action of Postmaster Grisom has been severely condemned by both Democrats and Republicans. There was no ex cuse for it, except tho negroes wanted office, and their party thought this the best way to appease them. The lady clerks at the post-office, and probably tome of the male clerks, will resign their positions at the end ot the month. The President. New York, Oct. B. The condition of President Arthur’s health when he first left Washington last summer was very serious. He was suffering from kidney disease, and was warned of an early fatal termination of the disease unless be sought immediate repose. The President has invited all the members of the Cabinet to meet him in New York and accompany him to Bos ton Tuesday. The Next Legislature.

Davis’ little son, Edwin, of Worth county, while going a short distance to a neighbor’s with his moth er, last Thursday, became exhausted and had to be left on the roadside un til a conveyance could be procured. A gentleman passing along took the lit tle fellow up before him on his mule and instantly the child expired. W. T. Sheffield killed Silas Shef field, in Colquitt, on Monday last. Three shots were fired, the former was stuck just below the nipple, and died in ten minutes. The office of the Fort Gaines Tribune was seriously threatened by a fire on Thursday last. The roof of the build ing caught from a piece of burning paper, but timely discovery prevented serious results. The building was on ly slightly damaged and no damage to the material of the office resulted there from. Randall Brown, the colored Demo crat who was stabbed a short time since by Matt. Davis, the colored Postmaster of Athens, is still in a critical condition, and his physician entertains no hope of his recovery. Davis, the attempted murderer, is still out on bond. A charity hospital for the poor, male and female, of Atlanta lias been established by a number of philanthro pic citizens of the city, who held a meeting at tho Medical College build ing on Friday last for that purpose. They have procured as a hospital a large two-story frame building on Pryor street; just in rear of the Medical Col lege building. The hospital will be under the immediate supervision of the President and faculty of the Southern Medical College. The ladies of At lanta are taking an active part in its management. Telegraph and Messenger: We have seen some tomatoes grown from the seed of canned tomatoes, and they are exceedingly fine as to flavor and size. This is somewhat remarkable, as the tomatoes before being canned are cooked for a certain length of time so as to keep. The tomatoes thus grown are of a pinkish color, hut of rich flavor and firmness. Telegraph and Messenger: It is thought by the police that Silas Ivey made his escape from the city early yes terday mcr.iing by meins of a rag wagon. It is said that he had been waiting in Macon for twenty dollars that had been owing to him, and that the amount was paid to him Sunday night. Through a misunderstanding, the officers failed to be at the proper place and thus he escaped. As the country is pretty well flooded with de scriptive circulars, it is hoped that he cannot go far. The Methodist parsonage, in Albany, has been destroyed by fire. The furni ture was saved. The building was in sured for $1,400, and the pastor, Rev. A. M. Williams, had a policy of SIOO on his effects. Communicated Political Analysis of tlic Inde pendents and Joabites; Or. the Tiling as I See It. It may be that I am laboring under a mental delusion or an optical illusion, but to me it seems to be a reality that the three parties in Georgia that stand in opposition to the Democratic party are but three grand divisions of the radical or republican party all having for their object the defeat of democracy, and directed and controlled by Long, of Macon, who I conceive to be the foilorn hope and only avowed leader of the radical party in the State. The independents so-called, with Speer at their head and Gartrell and Felton as subalterns, do not claim to be radicals nor republicans while they evidently fight under the same banner with Long, use the same arguments, the same political slang and vote the same ticket and have for a common purpose the destruction of the Demo cratic party. The supposed third division is not known by any name. Their actions are supposed to be all of a secret order and therefore may justly be called the Joabites. The secret blades are ever directed to the most vital punctions of the Democratic party while it responds to the roll call of Long and his subal terns at the ballot-box, giving their united strength to the high head ticket. Now when we put these three grand divisions of the political army into the ballot box or the political crucible and analize them we find the result is the same. Republicanism first and last effected with the black rot and in a state of decay. Here I am inclined to put a fact, the existence of which none will deny, into this same political crucible, and after a careful analysis I think we will find the same result that is the inevitable tendency of the independents into radi calism as a common centre. Mr. Speer and his subalterns, Gartrell and Felton, claim the necessity of anew party upon the assumption that the Democratic party in Georgia is a failure and render ed powerless by its divisions, and liable to be overcome by the radical party. On Wednesday last the 4th day of October, this shameless assumption that the Democratic party of Georgia is a failure was put into the political crucible and fully analyzed and purged of its falsity, and exhibits to us the as tounding fact that the Democratic party of Georgia has a majority of fifty thou- s.iii-1 votes over the united votes of the three grand divisions in conspiracy against it; thus giving to us the high est evidence that no necessity exist for anew party in Georgia, hut that there is a natural and inherent tendency of Speer and his subalterns to a decline, or a waisting away with the black rot. By this analysis we see that there is no truth or shadow of soundness in the assumption that the weakness of the Democratic party makes the formation of anew party necessary, nor can there ever he such a necessity while the Democratic majority approximates its present number against the combined vote of the three grand divisions of the radical party under Long and his allies. But the great battle is over, the grand old commoner is elected and the querry is before us what will the independents so-called and that hypothetical party alias the Joabites do? Will they, like the prodigal son, tire of the husk left by the swine and return to the fathers house where there is bread enough and to spare, or will they lose their identity and be absorbed by Long and his host? Lost to fame and self-respect, the word infamy written upon every fold of their garments floating upon the surface of the black sea of radicalism, crying votes for sale to the highest bi .filer is the on ly answer. Such at least is the thing as I see it in the crucible after a care ful analysis. Tell it not in Gath nor publish it not in the streets of Askalon least the sons and daughters of Etheopia rejoice. The Political Chemist. Crisp and Harrell. Berrien County News. Judge Harrell, the independent can didate for Congress in the fil'd district, addressed the people of Irwin at Irwinville on Monday last. He start ed out by telling the people he was a farmer, and labored earnestly to ex cite the prejudices of the laboring classes against professional men. He read a few extracts to define his posi tion and this was the sum and sub stance of his speech; but, when Judge Crisp in his reply removed the veil with which he endeavored to hide his true character, he was in a much more contemptable attitude before the people than if he had made no speech. Judge Crisp painted him in his true colors and showed him to he not only a pro fessional man which he indirectly denied, but an incessant office seeker, and one who would take an office in any manner he could get it. The ne groes diil not even take to him, hut on the contrary, said they felt like kicking him out of the court house, so we are informed upon reliable authority. Judge Crisp was loudly cheered and will, in all probability, receive every vote in Irwin county. Let every man in the third district go to the polls on the 7th of November. Double Barrel Harrell, is the latest explanation ot Mr. D. B. Harrell’s initials. He is loaded to suit any oc casion, and can shoot to suit radicals, independents and Democrats, That is not the kind of a man to send to Congress. —Coffee County Gazette. Gcorgla Hay—Savc. Constitution. With western hay standing as we may say', cross-legged in the market at $1.50 a hundred, we should think the farmers of Georgia would comctot ho con clusion that grass is grass whether it is green or not. The western hay which holds the market comes about as near not being grass as anything that grows. It is rotten inside the bales and woody on the outside, but when the Georgia mule sticks liis profPeoutof the stable door and remarks that he is compelled to have a little lunch, the western hay becomes very valuable. Last winter nearly every farmer in Georgia drove his wagon into some railroad town and carried out a supply of this western hay, paying $1.50 a hundred cash, or about $2 on time. The difficulty is that whether the weather is cold or hot, horses and mules must be used to culti vate the lands, and when these creatures grow hungry, western hay is about as good a substitute for food as can be found. It is more nourishing and more easily digested, for instance, than rails or barrel hoops, it sustains lite and probably hardens the bone, and when the worst comes to the worst, although it is woody on the outside and rotten on the inside, the faimers are compell ed to have it when the winter finds their barns empty, even though they pay $1.50 and $2 a hundred. But a very simple calculation will show that it is ruinous to buy the stuff, even supposing it, by a romantic stretch of imagination, to be the finest and most nutiitious food in the universe. Grass may be grass, but grass at the market price of western hay is only an other form of bankrutcy. One would think that the farmers of Georgia are compelled by some stress of climate or some unfavorable condition of soil to buy this stuff; hut they are not. There has never been a year since Georgia was a state when the farmers, by a lit tle extra exertion, and little or no ex tra expense, could not have made and cured in one season hay enough to do them two. Moreover, there is not a thoughtful farmer in the state who will question this statement. We are told by those who have re cently been upon the ground that there is now enough hay going to waste in southern and southwestern Georgia to last the farmers of these sections three years. This hay would cost only the labor of cutting and curing it. It was planted by the hand of Providence and has been brought to maturity by the most propitious seasons that have ever been known in the state. It is far su perior to the western stuff that is sold in railroad towns, being genuine hay. We are fir.'ther told, however, that in stead of saving this heaven-sent forage, the short-sighted farmers are bending all their energies toward picking out cotton, although they know that the hay they can save in one week is of more value than the cotton they can pick in the same length of time. We allude to southern and southwestern Georgia in this connection, because wo have in formation from those sections. We suppose, however, that what is said here will apply to every section of the state. The seasons have been good, equally good in every portion of Geor gia, and there is no portion under fence that has not produced hay unless other late crops have Ven in the way. The probability is that the farmers of the state will never have such another op portunity of saving a supply of forage with so little effort. A large portion of this volunteer forage can still be cured and stored, and we wite this for the purpose of exort ing our farmers to put themselves to a little extra trouble to reap the advan tages which a bountiful Providence has placed within their reach.
