HON. ALLEN FORT ELECTED JUDGE
Special to Sumter Republican.
Atlanta,Ga., November, 10.—Hon.
Allen Fort, was elected Judge of the
South-western Circuit by a large ma
jority. B. B. Hinton.
This election will carry satisfaction
to a large number of Colonel Forts’
scattered over the circuit. There
is a general expression of approbation
from those who have heard the result,
and we believe he will make a worthy
successor to Charles F. Crisp, said to
have been the best Judge in Georgia.
- Georgia Rejoices.
True bills found by the national
grand inquest of the 7th of November,
arc a source of mutual congratulation
between States as well as individuals.
The testimony has been coming before
the people for years; of late it has ac
cumulated mountain high. The last
leather of endurance was laid on the
camel’s back, in the trial of Brady and
his coadjutors in the star rout corrup
tions. It was evident to the people
that no stalwart could be brought to
grief, even before the courts, as long as
stalwart Republicanism held the reins
of government, and kept the keys to a
full treasury. The pension bill, the
River and harbor steal, the Ilubbel ex
actions, and a thousand and one frauds
known and read of men, all had to do
in a verdict against -the defendant of
guilty rendered by the people on the
7th instant.
All hail to the great commonwealth
of New York, for her voice which echoes
down south, as that of many waters,
joy to the voters of the first Congress
ional district of New Jersey, for the
defeat of ex-secretary Roberson, the
captain kid of modern Republicanism.
Here is our hand to Indiana, Massa
chusetts, New Hampshire, .Michigan,
lowa, Pennsylvania and every (State
which has taken part in this funeral.
The old dominion alone has been kept
under the feet of Malone, by the use of
his politarian caliorts. It will be ob
scured however,that in those districts of
Virginia, where there was enlightened
intelligence the same verdict was ren
dered, of unqualified condemnation of
the political methods of the present ad
ministration.
Georgia claps her hands, that the 9th
district has been rescued from a like
dark doom, of Mahoneism in the can
didacy of Speer. Candler has borne
himself well and triumphantly, and
stands the proudest among the solid
ten. Let moderation temper our joy,
and a strict, honest, consistent, opposi
tion on the part of the Democracy, to
those corruptions the opposition to
which has raised them to power.
Hon. Samuel Hall.
This gentleman was elected associate
Judge of the Supreme bench, on the 6th
ballot on Thursday last. His first en
dorsement was 69 votes, and at each
succeeding ballot, this was increased
to 101, other votes were then changed,
making 119. There is hardly a doubt
but Judge Hall is the most thoroughly
indoctrinated in legal lore of any man,
on or off the Supreme bench, in the
State. The Legislature has done Geor
gia aVavor by placing him on the bench.
Col. Thomas DeWolf, of the Colum
bus district, is the oldest member of
the present legislature, and it may be
parenthetically remarked, one of the
spryest. Over thirty years ago he
started the Columbus Sun, and for
many years it was the only daily paper
in Columbus. His son, Mr. W. S.
DeWolf, is at present the editor of the
Columbus Times.
Election for Judges.
On Monday the following gentlemen
were elected Judges. For the Augusta
circuit, Hon. H. C. Roney, of McDuffie.
For the Southern circuit, Hon.—'—
Hansel, re-elected without opposition.
Home circuit, Judge Branham. South
western circuit, Hon. Allen Fort. For
Solicitor, Oconee, C.C. Smith.
Information from headquarters at

Extract From a Letter Dated at
Follctown Charlton County.
We are permitted to use a part of
a letter from Dr. J. R. Smith, dated as
above, and giving some information of
that section of Georgia, which will be
of interest to the curious among our
readers. Speaking first of Camden
county, the Dr. says:
“This is # a thinly populated section
of Georgia, and so far as I know, there
is hut one practicing physician in this
county, and he resides in the upper edge
of Camden. Between this place ( Way
cross,) 33 miles, and between this and
St. May’s, 35 miles, there is not a sin
gle resident physician. This is a wire
grass section and cannot be considered
an agricultural one. “Logging” and
stoekraising occupy the time of most
of those that labor. Farms of five or
ten acres, at wide intervals are scattered
over tlie county. The best lands,
swamp and hammock are almost all
uncleared, and even those in cultiva
tion before the war, as rich as any in
the world, are now thrown out, except
ing a few on the Satilla river, cul
tivated in rice, 1 know of none at all.
There are thousands of acres that would
produce 70 to 100 bushels of corn, or a
bale of cotton to the acre. Yet with
good land, the finest climate in the un
ion. The people do not make their
own bread. Poverty and ignorance
seems to be the order of the day down
here. There are sporadic cases of in
telligence and thrift, who live well and
all hospitable. The Primitive Baptist,
is the prevailing form of Christianity.
I suppose you have a comet up with
you. I have been making my observa
tions of one at intervals for the last
month, next to the comet of 1843.
This is the'iargest and most showy I
ever saw; yet like the things of this
earth, it has had its day and is Tapidly
fading away.”
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Three IVeEro .Tien llnricil Alive Umler
n ICailroiul Embankment, Near the
Ice Works.
Macon Graphic, Btli, inst.
This morning, about ten o’clock, an
accident occurred near the ice works, on
the Brunswick division of the E. T. V.
& G. road, that resulted in the killing
of William McClendon, William Allen
and Sam Stanford.
For some time past Mr. A. J. Harris,
one of the gravel train conductors, has
had a force at work undermining a
bank on the road for the purpose of
obtaining earth to be used along the
line. The mode of operation has been
to cut under tbe bank as far as was
safe, and then prize it oil' from the top
by means of crow-bars driven down.
This morning four men were at work
together as usual undermining a par
ticular section of the bank. The work
is not considered dangerous, but Mr.
Harris, to avoid the possibility of an
accident, is always on the lookout. He
noticed this morning the enormous
mass breaking loose, and at once gave
the men warning. They immediately
dropped their tools from the
bank, but three of them were too late.
The ponderous mass of solid earth came
crashing down, burying them out of
sight, and producing instantaneous
death. Mr. Harris at once collected all
of his large force and put them at work
digging out the unfortunate men. The
bodies of William Allen and Sam
Stanford were first recovered and were
found to have been buried to a depth of
about three feet. The body of William
McClendon was buried to a depth of
five feet, and was not recovered until
some time later.
Shortly after the accident Mr. Har
ris received the following note from
Superintendent Mallory, viz.:
“Make necessary arrangements for
the proper burial of the three hands
killed. J. E. Mallory.
No blarne attaches to any one in the
matter. The felling of the earth was
something could not have been foreseen
and was in no way the result of care
lessness. It is presumed that the hard
earth must have stratified like a rock,
as it broke loose under a comparatively
very slight weight.
An immense crowd of negroes gath
ered about the scene of the accident and
many of them appeared to be overcome
by the terrible death of their late friends.
The bodies were placed in an empty
freight car until they can be taken in
charge preparatory to burial.
FROM THE MOUNTAINS.
Canton, Ga., Nov. 3rd. 1882.
Dear Old Republican —For nearly
thirty years I have been a constant
reader and subscriber, as well as occa
sional contributor, of the Sumter Re
publican. I cannot now remember a
week in all this eventful period I have
not seen its familiar face. In war time
and peace; on the inarch and around
the camp-fire, it has been a solace and
comfort. In adversity and prosperity,
in happiness and in misery; wherever
fate or circumstances have placed me,
the old paper has followed me and
cheered many lonely moments, and
furnished much needed information
from the place of my boyhood, my youth
and mv young manhood. To-day my
family circle would be incomplete with
out the Sumter Republican.
It has been a long time since I wrote
you a letter, and if your columns are
not too much crowded, you may find
room for this communication from the
mountain regions, now attracting more
or less attention.
These people have for many decades
been in blissful ignorance of the outside
world, and been much neglected and
ignored by the State authorities. This
section of Georgia is an open field for
enterprise and development. Horace
Greeley’s advice to “go west” is to have
an addenda in “go to North Georgia.
This side of Heaven there is no more
hospitable people than live here, and
they invite immigration from all sec
tions. The first avalanche of new
comers have already made their for
tunes. Dis a national absurdity for
the cotton of the South to be transport
ed to the North, with all the natural
resources here for its manufacture. The
new factories now springing up all over
this section, are the pioneers of the
uncounted spindles which are yet to
begin the hum of their grand march on
the banks of the Etowah, the Coosa,
the Chattahoochee and other streams.
North Georgia with its twenty-five
per cent, of the States fifty-eight thous
and square miles, certainly has not ten
per cent, of its resources developed.
When will the over-crowded popula
tion of tlie cities tako the wings of the
morning and fly to regions where they
shall have room to turn round, breathe
and expand, and become masters of
their own fortunes. There are tens of
thousands of fortunes waiting for men
to come here and win them. Before
moving here, I heard much of “Moon-
Shiners,” “Illicit Distillers,” killing a
man for wearing good clothes, etc. It
is all false. I never saw people more
placid, more cheerful and amiable. It
is dastardly mean for correspondents
and newspapers to keep representing
them as acrid and waspliish, and satur
nine and malevolent. 1 have lived
among many people, and have yet to
find a more affable, delicately sympa
thetic, whole hearted people than those
of North Georgia, and particularly of
Cherokee county. They are loyal to
the democratic party and patriotic.
They were reared under Joe Brown’s
teachings and think “American politics
rotten,” and that the party steals most
which has the most chance.
The most important town east of the
State Road is Canton, the old home of
Joe Brown and Dr. Lewis, whose names
are so closely blended with the past
twenty-five years history of this sec
tion. Many years ago Gen. W. W.
Phillips, of Marietta, began tlie almost
hopeless and herculean task of obtain
ing State aid for a railroad through
these mountains, and to develep the
hidden treasure of its valleys and
streams. His youth and young man
hood hid been spent here, and he knew
better than any living man what was
in store for such a successful enterprise.
After unceasing work he lives to see
his labors nearly completed. Leaving
the W. and A. Railroad at Marietta,
you board the “Narrow Gauge” and in
comfortable coaches you are landed at
Canton, twenty-four miles, in two
hours. Until last Spring this was the
terminus of the road, but now the cars
run to Jasper, in Pickens county, and
in six months will be completed to
Murphy, in North Carolina, there it
connects with an important system of
railroads. I have been in all parts of
North Georgia, but never found any
place equal to Canton for pure air, good
water and even temperature. In three
summers I have never spent an uncom
fortable night, or heard a musquito.
What a luxury for a Southwest Geor
gia care-worn and night-tossed soul.
No malaria here—the people never
heard of Quinine until I introduced it,
and it is only needed by an occasional
straggling case of sickness coming from
some other point. I have never dis
posed of but three ounces in as many
years of business. Our road is owned
and controlled by two northern capital
ist; who have bought all the mines and
other valuable property near its line.
No liquor is sold in our county, nor
can’t be. Every good citizen is con
stantly on tlie lookout to report every
case of violation of the law in this
direction. We have succeeded in de
stroying every illicit distillery,with the
aid of the Revenue raiders. If our
friends want whisky when they visit us
they must bringit with them. We have
a splendid hotel, good schools, a large
brick Methodist Church, and a Baptist
house of worship just going up. Gov
ernor Brown donated the ground and
subscribed two hundred and fifty dol
lars in cash for its erection. It is a
brick building, We have several large
brick stores, and our merchants are
prosperous and happy. Finally lam
made to exclaim as one of old: “Give
me a blessing; for thou hast given me
a South land, give me also Springs of
water.” To our nation God has given
a South land, a vast and magnificent
reach of country, and only requires to be
known to be appreciated and utilized.
“There’s faith in the streams, there’s hope
in tlie hill?,
There’s life in the old land yet.”

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
By the President of the Untied States
A Proclamation:
In conformity with a custom, the
annual observance of which is justly
held by this people, I, Chester A Ar
thur, Piesident ef the United States,
do hereby set apart Thursday, the 30th
day of November next, as a day of pub
lic Thanksgiving. The blessings de
manding our gratitude are numerous
and varied, for the peace and amnity
which exist between this Republic and
all nations of the world, for freedom
from internal discord and violence, for
the increasing lriendship between the
different sections of this land of liberty,
of justice and of constitutional govern
ment; for the devotion of the people to
our free institutions and their cheerful
obedience to mild laws, for the con
stantly increasing strength of the Re
public, while extending its privileges
to our fellow-men who come to us, for
the improved means of internal commu
nication and increased facilities of in
tercourse with other nations, for the
general prevailing health for the year,
for prosperity of our industries, the
liberal return for the merchants’ toil
affording a market for the abundant
harvests of the husbandman, for the
preservation of the National faith and
credit, for a wise and generous provis
ion to effect the intellectual and moral
education of our youth, for the influence
upon our conscience of restraining and
transforming religion and for the joys
of home—for these and many other
blessings we should give thanks.
Wherefore, I do recommend that the
day above designated be observed
throughout tlie couotry as a day of
National thanksgiving and praise and
that the people, ceasing from their dai
ly labors, and meeting in accordance
with their several forms of worship,
draw near to the throne of Almighty
God, offering to him praise and grati
tude for the manifold goodness which
he lias vouchsafed to us, and praying
that his blessings and liis mercies may
continue; and I do further recommend
that the day thus appointed be made a
special occasion for deeds of kindness
and charity to the suffering and needy,
so that all who dwell within the land
may rejoice and be glad in this
season of national thanksgiving.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this 25th day
of October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty-two,
and of the independence of the United
States the one hundredth and seventh.

Death of Mrs. T. J. Simmons.
Macon Graphic Bth inst.
The city became wrapt in sorrow to
day when it was known, and told in
almost breathless tones that Mrs. T. J.
Simmons died this morning, at five
o’clock, after an illness of about a
week. Though her sickness was gen
erally reported in the past few days,
but few knew of its serious nature and
hope lingered in the heart of relatives
and friends that life would be spared
her, but an All Wise Providence de
sired her as a member of the heavenly
fold, and took her to the celestial home,
beyond the stars, where tears are un
known and the sunshine of the Father’s
smile brightens all with hope. A no
bler woman, a loving wife and fond
mother passed away when her soul was
borne aloft on angels’ wings from its
fail tenement of clay.
In the death of Mrs. Simmons, soci
ety loses an ornament and the church
one of its strongest friends and faithful
workers. In her were beautifully
blended all the attributes constituting
a pure, womanly character. In friend
ship’s golden band she was the truest
link, love’s diadem had not a moie
priceless setting than she, while the
Christian’s crown bears no brighter
jewel. The young sought and loved
her sociey, and the aged delighted in
her presence. Wherever she went smiles
greeted her.
Mrs Simmons was formerly Miss
Wright, of Monroe county, and became
Mrs. Peek. She married Judge T. J.
Simmons, of the Macon superior court,
a number of years since, and during her
residence in Macon, forrped a large cir
cle of friends, who were bound to her
by many loving ties.
FUNERAL OF MRS. SIMMONS.
In last token of respect and esteem,
a large assembly of friends and mourn
ers gathered at the First Baptist church
Thursday afternoon at half past three
o’clock to attend the funeral services of
Mrs. Judge T. J. Simmons.
The ceremonies were conducted most
impressively by the Rev. E. W. War
ren, pastor of the church. The services
opened with a voluntary of the duet
“Nearer My God to Thee,” written by
Mr. A. L. Wood, and most beautifully
sung by request by Mrs. C. A. Sindall
and Mrs. Geo. Camp. The choir com
posed of Mrs. C. A. Sindall, Mrs. Geo.
Camp, Mr. Sam Everett and Mr. T.
S. Lowry and Mr. A. L. Wood, pre
siding at the organ, also sang during
the services the hymns “Asleep in Je
sus” and “It is not Death to Die.”
After the completion of the services at
the church a long line of carriages fol
lowed the remains to the cemetary and
into the grave the elegant casket, laden
with flowers, containing all that was
mortal ofMrs. T. J. Simmons was si
lently lowered by the pall bearers,
Messrs. B. L. Willingham; Geo. S.
Jones, Isaac Hardeman, W.C. Single
ton, J. H. Blount, Willis Price, Tyler
Rogers, G. S. Obear.
No death has occurred in Macon in
long years more deeply mourned than
that of Mrs. Simmons. Lovaly in per
son and beautiful in character, she
was dearly beloved and greatly ad
mired.

FROM HARPER’S BAZAR—September, 1882.
Another Velvet season is one of the certainties announced thus early by
the merchants. Plush is spoken of cautiously, and indeed depreciatingly,
because it does not wear satisfactorily, although there will be many entire
costumes of plush sent over from Paris. Tlie best service, however, is given
in the close short-pile velvets, and in the Nonpareil Velveteen, which is not
easily marred or creased. The Nonpareil Velveteen is found in all the stylish
new shades of old green, sapphire, wine-color, shaudron, bronze, seal brown
and black, and when made with the pile turned upward, so that it will be
rased by wear, instead of becoming flattened and sleek, it cannot be distin
guished from Silk Velvet. Tlie difference in the price makes the costume
cosi about one-third as much as if made of Lyons velvet, as the various quali
tiestcost from 81 to 82 a yard. The Rnssian pelisse suits of this velveteen
will he worn in black and dark colors during the early autumn and entire
winter. The skirt will be short and round, and its only trimming a ruche
like that on theqielisse. There will also be English morning suits of vel
veteen made with belted hunting jackets, or the short cut-away coats such
as gentlemen wear in the morning. The lower skirt will be pleated half its
length, gored at the top, and the gored part covered by ample draperies.
PETERSON’S MAGAZINE—For a very handsome toilet we know of
nothing that can take the place of the Nonpareil Velveteen.
