Having been officially notified that
the city of Albany cannot entertain the
Convention which was to have conven
ed this February 15th, it is hereby or
dered, by virtue of the power vested in
me as President of the State Agricul
tural Society, that the meeting ot the
convention be postponed one week, and
it will be held in the city of Macon on
Tuesday, 20th day of February, 1883.
Delegatas will take due notice and
govern themselves accordingly.
Thomas Hardeman, President.
The Cincinnati Times-Star says
that Hinton It. Helper, the North Car
olina man who wrote “The Impending
Crisis,” before the war, at one time
had $60,000 in bank, but now doing
odd jobs in Washington to keep body
and soul together.
It is a rather extraordinary law which
punishes a man for attempting an act,
but which does not punish him if he
accomplishes it. A poor wretch in
New York was sentenced to one year’s
imprisonment and a fine of SI,OOO on
Monday for attempting suicide, and the
severity of his sentence will probably
make him regret that he did not suc
ceed.
Senator David Davis, of Illinois, an
nounces his purpose to return to his
home at Bloomington, after the Ith of
March, and devote his entire attention
to his private business affair. During
the past year he has purchased some
very valuable farm property through
out central Illinois, and he is anxious
to make these lands still more valuable
by additional improvements. Mr Davis
comtemplates a trip to Europe next
Summer.
An Athens correspondent of the Sa
vannah Times, speaking of the supe
rior advantages of the Univeisity of.
Georgia, says: “The apparatus in the
philosophical and chemical departments
of the University is probably superior
in variety and extent to that of any in
stitution of learning in the South, un
less it be that of Vanderbilt. It has
been bought during the past.five or six
years, at a cost of some $15,000, and
is bieng constantly increased by new
purchases.”
The Proposed Postal Note.
Senator Hill, of the Senate Post-
Office Committee has made a report on
the proposed postal note for sums of
less than $5, which urges that the Sen
ate take early favorable action in order
that the department may make arrange
ments for issuing the notes on or about
July Ist, the beginning of the new fiscal
year. A fac-simile of the proposed
note is printed with the report. It is
about as large as a greenback, is to be
issued for a fee of three cents without
written application, and made payable
to bearer. Alteration of the amount is
to*be prevented by a system of punch
ing in the style of long-distance rail
road tickets. The committee believe
that the convenience of this method of
making small remittance would more
than compensate for the diminished
security as compared with the present
money order. An extract is given from
the last annual report of the Postmas
ter-General in England, giving the re
sult of one year’s trial of postal orders
substantially the same as the proposed
notes. No less than 4,465,920 postal
orders amounting to £2,006,917, were
issued. The average time they were in
circulation was six days, showing that
there was no foundation for the idea
they would be used as currency.
Grain Crops.
The following clipping from the
Eufaula Times is not out of place as a
lesson and a warning to our farmers in
this section:
“Because oats and corn are cheap
now. farmers should not neglect these
two, to them, most important of all
crops. Plant plenty of both; plant
early and late; neglect your cotton for
grains; it will prove the means oi sal
vation to the farmer. In the Montgom
ery Advertiser we find this significant
paragraph:
“There is but little demand for corn
in any part of the State. It is verj
cheap, which goes to show that it is
plentiful. The effect of an abundance
of corn is t* cause farmers to neglect
the planting of oats as superfluous and
unnecessary. This is a mistaken pol"
icy, as those who adopt it may discover
when to late too remedy.”
Take into your hearts, farmers, the
lesson good and true: Be sure to plant
mongh grain.
What Shall We Expect.
When the present Congress assem
bled the country expected great things;
why did this desire for good, and this
hope fill the breasts of the people? We
think it was predicated in the big scare,
the Republicans had had in the fall
elections, from which they were prom
ising general amendments. The tariff
mus the overhauled,and a revenue stand
ard must be sought, said their orators
and organs. The navy must be looked
after, and a good navy built. Has any
thing worthy and fulfilling of the,se high
promises and fostered expectations been
done? In the matter of the navy the
free shipping bill, by which a man
could go anywhere and buy a ship and
hoist the Americn flag, and in this way
get up on a convenient and cheap basis,
a merchant marine, now what is the
upshot? It has dwindled down to the
privilege of buying ship building ma
terial free of duty. This is not more
just than the free material for manufac
tures. Has that been obtained! not a
bit of it.
All the early hopes set afloat in re
gard to the relief of the country, have
been swamped by a hostile senate and
executive, to any and all plans for gen
eral relief. Why is this? It may'not
be generally known, but there is a third
“House” known as the lobby, which is
all powerful in regulating legislation.
The very best lawyers, the most ac
complished actuaries, the skilled
artist in persuasive language, in addi
tion, this House is backed by princely
monopolies, and the money flows at the
touch of a wire, and whatever the price
named for the support of a measure, it
is forth coming either in ducats or offi
cial dignities. The country may not
hope any modifications of the tariff,
ooking to their interest, no allowance
of free admission of material for manu
facturing Go’s.
The whole government must firs t go
into the hands of the Democracy, be
fore the party can be held accountable to
the country for the character of legisla
tion. The present state of facts is un
propitious to the hopes of the country.
All the railroad monopolies, manufac
tory monopolies, money monopolies
and bonded oligarchy, all combine and
buy up all the available brains to fill
the seats of the lobby, and we see no
day light ahead iD this congress, which
will shine upon the common interests
of the whole people.
Important Circular.
We have received from the Com
missioner of Agriculture, the Hon. J.
T. Henderson, a printed department
circular containing copies of the reso
lution of the late General Assembly re
questing the Governor “to invite and
receive specimens of the agricultural,
horticultural, mineral and manufactur
ed products, and of the forestry of this
State,” to be forwarded to the expo
sition to be held in Boston in Septem
ber 1883, and of Governor Stephens’
late proclamation in reference to the
same, which has already been publish
ed in these columns. The circular al
so contains instructions and recom
mendations from the commissioner re
lative to the nature and character of
the specimens and products required,
with full directions as to the mode ot
keeping and forwarding them. All
persons who are willing to contribute
are invited to correspond with the Com
missioner of Agriculture at an early
date stating what articles they can
supply.
As soon as the names of the contri
butors are reported, with the character
of the contributors proposed, blank
form on which to convey the necessary
information to accompany the exhibits
will be mailed to the contributors.
The Commissioner will take pleasure
in furnishing any information which
proposed contributors may desire. .
Cards with shipping directions will
be furnished at the proper time on ap
plication. The co-operation of all good
citizens is confidently expected in the
prosecution of this important work, in
which every Georgian is deeply interest
ed.
Fatality Among Congressmen.
The mortality in the Forty-seventh
Congress has been singularly large. In
the early part of the session, M. P.
O’Connor, who was declared elected
from the old South Carolina District,
died before the Congress assembled.
During the first session there died Mr.
Allen, of Missouri, General Hawk, of
Illinois, and Judge Smith, of Alabama,
who was declared after his death to
have been entitled to a seat by the un
seating of Mr. Shelly. Later, Mr.
Lowe, of Alabama, and Senator Hill,
of Georgia, died. Mr. Updegraff, of
Ohio, died just before the reassembling
of Congress and was buried on the
opening day. Since then Mr. Orth, of
Indiana, and Mr. Shackleford, of North
Carolina, have followed, making nine
in all, if Judge Smith be counted as a
member, Mr. Herndon, of Alabama, is
said to be nearly, if not quite, in a dy
ing condition with consumption, and it
is stated that he connot survive long.
In the House at Washington Repre
sentative Geddes, of Ohio, has intro
duced a bill to alllow all newspapers to

Fetter from Leesburg.
• ————.
LEEsnuito, January 24th, 1883.
It was the morning after the second
day’s battle at Gettysburg Longstreet’s
men had fallen like autumn leaves in
the terrible ordeal of the preceeding
day. Only a handful of resolute men
gathered around the tattered colors of
the 11th Georgia Regiment. Before
them lowered the frowning and precip
itous heights of Nuttshill. The Fed
eral forces had employed the long,
lonesome hours of the night in con
structing an impregnable stone fence,
which towered majestically like a
rude battlement of the olden time.
Behind it hovered the flower of Meade’s
army, a great multitude of men, fresh,
buoyant, hopefully inspired by the cer
tainty of success; since before them
stood but a skeleton of the forces who
had mingled in the carnival of death
on the previous day, and beneath them
the hill was difficult of ascent, even by
a soldier burdened with nothing more
than his ordinary accoutrements. Gen.
Lee, as stated in his official report, had
made no reconnoissance and was unac
quainted with the difficulties of the
situation and the construction of the
stone fence was probably then unknown
to his immediate subordinates. Under
the circumstances the order was given
soon in the morning to fall in and be
ready to march upon the heights.
George Kimbrough, then second Lieu
tenant, was in command of the seven
men yet- left to answer to the gloomy
roll-call ot his company. As soon as
the order was given, one of the men
remarked, “They are going to make
us go into the jaws of death.” Lieu
tenant Kimbrough had never before
permitted a remark of that kind to
pass without the severest reprimand
and denunciation. On this occasion
the fact stated was too evidently, too
overwhelmingly true to afford any pre
text for denial. Turning to the man
who had made the remark, while his
face glowed with the light of a stern,un
faltering, imperishable courage, he re
plied, “Yes, they are, we are certainly
going straight into the very jaws of
death, but by God we’ll go in grace
fully.” The order was fortunately
countermanded, but it is to the honor
of humanity that the heroism of the
officer can never be countermanded in
time or eternity. In all ages and
climes such heroism has been treasur
ed and preserved with the most com
mendable pride. The land of “The
Conquered Banner” has deeds like
this connected with the history of al
most every regiment. They are the
orators which plead the justice of her
cause. They are green memories
that survive the flood in which the ark
ofher freedom went down, Shall they
pass forever from the memory of man
kind? Is there no immortality for
such immortal patriotism ? X.
Turpentine Interests.
An Atlantic Coast Railroad official
told a reporter of the Charleston
News and Courier Friday that since
the first of January no less than two
thousand negroes passed through
Charleston for Georgia, under contract
to work for a year and that the travel
for the purpose is greater than he ever
knew it to be. The cause for this mi
gration is apparent at a glance. For
several years there has been a great
demand for labor on the timber and
turpentine lands of Georgia and Flori
da. Capitalists who own large tracts
of land are engaged either in cutting
timber and making turpentine, and as
their operations extended, more labor
was required than the immediate vi
cinity could supply. This year the
demand for labor is chiefly on the line
of the Macon and Brunswick and the
Brunswick and Albany Railroads.
The contractors get most of the la
borers from along the line of the Wil
mington, and Weldon and Seaboard
and Roanoke Railroads, and the mi
gration from these sections this year
has been so great that the people in
the neighborhood will have some diffi
culty in getting labor enough to plant
and gather a crop. None but men are
hired. These get an average of $lB
per month and rations. The naval
store trade and the constantly increa
sing demand for rosin and spirits tur
pentine give an impulse to labor in
this respect coupled with ourinexhaus
table fores ;s where the article is found
and manufactured. There are in this
city at present two factories where tur
pentine stills are made, and the de
mand is as great as the supply. In ad
dition thereto, is a large factory where
barrels are made for this trade, and the
institution is worked to its utmost ca
pacity. The naval store trade and the
manufacturing of articles for the tur
pentine business has had an unprece
dented development here in the past
three years.
We clip the following from the Grif
fin News: “The Georgia Democrat,
which issued its first number on last
Saturday, failed to appear yesterday,
and we 1< arned from the proprietor
that it has suspended indefinitely. A
few copies of a second number will be
issued, but that will be the last of it
for the present. It is runjored that
the establishment will be moved to
Hampton. We hope that this bril
liantly brief career will'not deter oth
ers from an attempt of a like nature.
There is a splendid opening for a third
paper in Griffin—an opening about the
size and depth of a grave.
Teethina (Teething Powders) is
fast taking the place of all other rem
edies for the irritations of Teething
Children.
Hard on The Grangers.
The Athens Banner-Watchman, is
rather severe on the State Agricultural
Society. That paper says:
The refusal of the citizens of Albany
to entertain, the Agricultural society
and open their houses and larders free
to a ret of men wkom.theyjdo not know,
and are no more to them than the mer
est strangers, should prove a sanitary
rebuke'to tramps that have for years af
flicted our State. We think the peo
ple of Albany are entirely justifiable in
their action, and deserve a vote of thanks
from the other cities and towns in Geor
gia for their manly example in resist
ing such an infamous imposition upon
their hospitality. Nine times out of
ten these State conventions oforders and
professions and handicrafts are conven
ed for no other purpose than that a set
of men who have more leisure than bus
iness may take a pleasure tour at the
expense of someone else’s pocket.
Make the members pay their own rail
road fare and hotel bills and we guaran
tee that there wouldn’t be a quorum
present; bat the inducements of a free
ride, free grub and free fun is irresisti
ble, and the consequence is that the
nuisance is multiplying every year.
Conventions are all right and legiti
mate, provided that those who dance
are made to pay the fidler; but when a
lot of self-invited guests intrude upon
strangers, with the expectation of being
fed and banqueted and amused, and
give nothing but an idle and meaning
less vole of thanks upon their adjourn
ment in return for all the expense and
trouble to which they have put their
entertainers, we think it time to call a
“halt.” We believe in the various
orders, businesses and crafts of the State
holding their annual sessions, as they
are a source of pleasure and sometimes
profit; but let them foot their own bills,
and not depend upon spunging upon
the hospitality of strangers. No con
vention will be refused accommoda
tions in any place when its members
signify an intention to settle their own
bills.
The Narrow Escape from Death
of a Nephew of Mrs. Judge Sam
uel Hall.
Macon Graphic.
Mr. Porter Ashe, who was aboard
the train that met with the terrible ac
cident at Tehichipa, a few nights since,
on the Southern Pacific railroad, was
the nephew' of Mrs. Judge Samuel Hall,
of Macon. He lives in San Francisco,
and had been married only a day or
two prior to the accident, and was, in
fact, we believe, on his btidal tour at
the time. He telegraphs the following
concerning the accident, which will
now be read with double interest since
there is a local connection with it.
“My wife, maid and myself were oc
cupying a drawing-room of the sleep
er. We were awakened by the sway
ing of the cars, going at about the rate
of seventy miles an hour. We had just
braced ourselves when the crash
came. The maid was buried in the
debris, my wife and I falling on top of
her. The car immediately took fire,
and we were forced to take the burning
boards off the maid piece by piece. The
car became enveloped in the smoke. By
the breaking of windows at the top of
the car I succeeded in rescuing inv wife
and the maid, pushing them through
the window. We were climbing off
from the car nearly suffocated by smoke,
when I heard a man calling for help
and beseeching ns not to leave him. I
reached down through a broken window
and succeeded in getting hold of Gov
ernor Downey’s hand, and pulled him
out nearly strangled. While helping
the maid to the ground, my wife stepped
on a window and fell through into the
car again. The car by this time was
burning rapidly. It is impossible to
tell how I got her out; I jumped with
her to the ground, and immediately ran
down the hilbto avoid the flames. Be
fore leaving the car I pushed through
a window. My wife had a sealskin
cloak dolman, lined with fur,two blank
ets and one mattress. We had no
other clothing except night clothes.
The wind was blowing strong and it
was intensely cold. We were surround
ed by the dead and dying—Gov. Dow
ney, Mr. Cassal, my wife, her maid,
and Mr. Howard Tilton, who rendered
us great assistance and acted splendid
ly. A child of Mr. Waterhouse and
myself occupied the mattress, and were
only protected by a blanket till assis
tance came from Tehichipa. The rail
road company did everything in its
power to relieve the distress, and from
the superintendent down to the brake
man acted with the utmost delicacy
and courtesy. We were provided at
Tehichipa with warm clothes and com
fortably housed.”
Shyness Exemplified.
A young lady in a neighboring town
last week went into a dry goods store
and thus unburdened herself:
“It is my desire to obtain a pair of
circular elastic appendages, capable of
being contracted or expanded by means
of oscillating burnished steel appliances,
that sparkle like particles of gold leaf
set with Cape May diamonds, and
which are utilized for retaining in prop
er position the habiliments of the lower
extremities, which innate delicacy for
bids me to mention.”
The vendorof calicoes wasnomplnss
ed, but not wishing to appear ignorant,
said that he was “just out.” After her
departure he ruminated in silence for a
few moments, when anew light broke
upon his distracted brain, and he broke
forthwith:
“By thunder! I’ll bet that woman
wanted a pair of garters”

WEATHER WISDOM.
TASTE THIS UP AND LEAR TO PREDICT LIKE
VENNOR.
It is stated that the following'prog
nostics are deduced from observations
gathered from the most reliable sources
in England, embracing 112 years, from
1677 to 1789:
1. When the vernal equinox is not
preceded or followed by the usual equi
noctial storms, the succeeding summer
will be dry at least five times in six.
2. If easterly storms occur on the
19th, 20th or 21st of May, the ensuing
summer will likewise be dry; the same
characteristic applies to 6torms from
whatever direction on the 25th, 26th,
or 27th of March, viz. a dry summer
will follow.
3. When storms happen from or be
tween the 19th and 23rd of March .
having directions from the west or
southwest, the succeeding summer will
be wet five times out of six. In Eng
land, when both winter and spring are
dry, they are always cold, but when
these two seasons are wet they areusual
ly warm; on the contrary, dry summers
and autumns are most always hot and
wet summers cold; hence, if the humid
ity of any special season be determined,
an approximately correct idea may be
formed what the prevailing temperature
will be.
4. A wet autumn, succeeded by a
wild winter, is generally followed by a
dry and cold spring, which will be un
favorable to the growth of vegetation.
5. A wet summer is most always
succeeded by a severe cold winter, be
cause the terrestrial heat has been car
ried off by evaporation; it has also been
observed that wet summers promote
great proficiency on the white thorn of
dagrase, so that an unusual fruitfulness
of the shrubs is considered a presage of
an intensely cold winter.
6. A severe winter is also indicated
by the early departure in the autumn
of cranes and other migratory birds,
because these birds never leave for
southern climate until the cold season
has commenced in the higher northern
regions.
7. When the month of September
is showery it seldom rains during the
coming month of May; and contrary,
should September pass without show
ers, the following May will be rainy
and wet.
8. When, in summer and autumn,
the predominating wind is from the
southwest, or when the temperature is
unusually low for the season, and the
■barometer be low, profuse rains may
certainly be expected at the end of the
season.
'9. Tempestuous storms and other
violent commotions of the clouds pro
duce a crisis in the atmosphere, which
is followed by a succession of several
months of fine or boisterons weather, of
whatever the incoming change may be.
10. A mild and rainy winter is al
ways followed by' an unproductive sum
mer.
11. When rainy weather prevails
during a moon, the change succeeding
will bo fair weather for several days,
after which rain will again set in; but
when fair weather prevails during the
moon and the succeeding change be
rain, fair weather will again return af
ter the fourth or fifth of the moon and
continue as before.
12. The most decided indication for
fair weather is the apparently great
elevation of the celestial concave and
an evident disposition of the clouds to
dissolve and vanish away.
13. Rich hues of deep red and orange
reflected by evening clouds are sure
signs of a pleasant day following; but
when the same appearance of the sky
occurs at sunrise, cloudy, bad weather
and rain may be expected—a fact well
confirmed by many observers.
14. Where the sky is overset and
small detached clouds of darker shade
move hurriedly in opposite directions,
heavy rains may be expected.
15 At the approach of rain, smoke
and vapors descend to the earth, be
cause the air is too light to support
them, and such times birds also fly
nearer to the earth than at other times.
16. When at the close of a summer
day dew forms copiously, the following
day will he pleasant’

A Crazy Man’s Freaks.
Claiming to be Jesus Christ, He En-.
ters a Ball and Assaults Several
of the Dancers with a L.\noE
Jack-Knife.
Bangor, January 19.—A crazy fel
low created quite a stampede in a ball
room at Tyler Stand, which is located
about seven miles west of this city, at
an early hour this morning. He
came into the hall shortly after mid
night and behaved so rudely and bois
terously that he was approached by
Fred Matheas and several others,
whoso intent was to quiet him. He
became more excited than ever, and,
drawing a knife when unobserved, he
stabbed right and left, inflicting
wounds on five persons. The wounds
are not considered dangerous. The
man fled the hall an 1 was found short
ly afterwards by officers in a house
near by and taken to the station house.
He gave the name of John. Fatten, of
Ilermon. Without a doubt he is in
sane, for while in the station house
he claimed that he was Jesus Christ.
He said that he was destined to be the
king of this world, and that the deeds
done by him had been actuated by di
vine inspiration, He spoke of Gui
teau as John the Baptist. He says he'
is about thirty-two years of age and
lives in Hermon with his father and
aunt. 110 is of large statue, has a
very good presence and is not a bad
