‘2(1. About 500 bnUotingfl up lo tho
20th, rind both partita standing firm.
1 ho indications arc that they intend
to fight it out on that lino if it taken
all hummer. Tho convention lmd
batter adjourn and go homo and at
tend to their private business affairs,
and lot the pooplo decide who they
want for their representative.
Tho debt of tho city of Savannah in
$8,000,110, tho annual intercut on
whiob amounts to $251,011. A cor
respondent cf tho Nowh regards this
as burdensome, :.nd fears financial
embarrassment in tho fuluro. Tho
profits of iutaruno in that city aro
$200,000 a year. That would pny tho
whole debt in fifteen years.
Mr. Pullman, of the Pullman Sleep
ing Car notoriety, proposes to meet
the civil rights issue squarely, by al
lowing colored people to occupy berths
in common with tho whites, Wo say
that if hin inclinations lead him to
such a course, tho whiles of the south
ought not to patronizo him.
A Swindle.
We received a falter a few weeks
since, making propositions for adver
tising, from J. Thompson, llanna A
Co., 907 Hroadway, Nov/ York. They
sent us a blank contract for ten
inches space, oik year, promising fo
pay one half of hr tho expiration of the
first quarter. They proposed in their
advertisement to "Make Homo Hap
py” by si lling a first-clans sewing raA-
chino for $20. Belloviiig it to he a
swindling concern, wo asked one of
our merehants to writo to a reliable
gnu in Now York concerning these
fallows, and tho following is their re-
ply:
Nr.w Yojik, April 18, 75.
Mows :—(JenIs;—Yours in
quiring mi to standing of tho parties
named on enclosed letter head aiul
circular at hand.
Wo find that it is a cov/ulcnrcJinn,
connected with several others under
different names, and all engaged in
regular swindling operations. Tho
police are watching thou).
Yours Truly,
Tfion Factory, in Chattooga county
was completely destroyed by fire on
last Saturday night. It wan tho work
of an incendiary. Tho factory was a
live story building, tho first story was
brick nud tho other four wooden. Tho
• fifth story was what is called tho
picking room, and tho room being ftdl
of lint was almost as inflamulilo as
powder. An iron ladder extended
from the ground lo the lop of tho
building, and was connected by a
platform with each story, thus afford
ing moans of escape in timo of a fire.
Every half hour during tho night the
watchman inspected the whole build
ing. It was after his eight o'clock
round that tho incendiary did his di
abolical work, by climbing the ladder
nud, it is supposed, throwing a match
into the lint cotton in the fifth story.
The property burnt was inq red for
thirty-five thousand dollars. The loss
sustained was about $150,000, which
falls equally upon Judge Allgood nud
his father-in-law, Mr. Marsh.
There were employed in the factory
three hundred and fifty workmen,
whose families made a population of
about seven hundred and fifty souls,
who were cut in ly dependent on the
factory for a support.
Wo take tho following particulars
of the Ourlorsvillo duel, from the
Romo Commercial: Mr. Moon, a
young lawyer of (butoraville, and Dr.
Hakor hud for each other an unehris-
tain sort of feeling, which t ventilated
in a "battle of fists." The next move
in tho drama was made by Mr. Moon,
who sent by his friend, Mr. liray, a
challenge to Dr. Ihiker. The Dr. in
fused to uciv. t the challenge, claiin-
i >g that Moon was not a gentleman.
Upon this, Mr. (i:ay, in accordance
with tho code duello, challenged Dr.
Baker himself. In tho meantime, Mr.
Miluor, a young lawyer from Calhoun,
who was to have been Mr. Qray’s
m'lviuI. oanui to C.irteroville, and on
inci ting Dr. Hukor on the street, some
abusive and severe language passed
between them. This quarrel resulted
in Milner challenging Baker to a pis
tol tus el, which ho arc-pled. The
battle ground sehiulod was just across
the Alabama line. They started hither
cud hud gotten as far as Cave Spring,
where tho strong baud of the law,
typified by Yqniro llumil, was laid
upon them. Tho laying on of the le
gal hand was caused by the father of
Mr. Miluor, who had heard of the im
pending crisis. All parties returned
home yesterday ^Tuesday), in a safer
condition tuan had matters terminated
otherwise. Tho diliiculty between
Gray and Baker had boon, pro.* to
tho second affair, retort d to a I o ird
of hotio**! composed of Gem.J Young
and Wolford, and C -1. Ford.
Tile * Pi Ice of Colton anil the
Coming Crop.
Wo print tho following extract
from a very sensible editorial in tho
Havannah News, of tho HJtb, under
tho above caption :
Our * tes* reports from tho planting
rrgiom would Boom to indicate a de
termination on tho part A tho farm
ers to at least incrcaso tho ereft of
land devoted to grain, even if they do
not dccronso tho number of acres
usually set aside for cotton. Thus wo
hear from nil quartors that an extra
ordinarily largo extent of land has
been sowed in wheat, o»la and bar
ley, while unusual attention has been
given to the preparation of t iie ground
for corn. On tho other hand, there
nro Homo who are pawning both credit
an^ reputation to scrape together
supplies enough to cuubly thorn to
make another crop of cotton. Tho
advance in prices has boon too groat
a temptation, and they hnvo staked
eveiylhing upon a contingency that
is weil-nigh hopeless. This clans is
composed of I ho very men who will
reap tho biltoroat disappointment.
They will bo compelled to put their
crops on tho market early in the sea
son, no mailer what prices rule, and
this will result in a sacrifice. For it
must he confessed that tho New York
Hpeculutors have immense!) tho nd-
vnntngo of tho .Southern planters.
The more fact that the crop is either
more or I cm than average is of no
weigh! whatever. The ap« culutnra
have in their power, through I he me
dium offing estimates, to convince
spinners that an extraordinary yield
has boon obtained, and pricus will
straightway become depi cesed, ns I hey
dd in the opening of every notion
year. Then tho tiofoituualo planter
finds that his cotton money will just
about pay him out of debt, and lie is
obliged, if Ini cultivates his laud to
again depend on his credit. 'Jims
year by year lie grows poorer and
poorer, tmlil at l ist, shutting h.s eyes
to the real facts, ho fal!*i into the

The idea of "wontan's rights" in the

husband died in 18(18, leaving h r

Havannah Advertiser says 20,084
tons of fertilizers liavo passed through
Havannah thn year, en routo to the
farmers of tho State. At fifty dollars
a t ii, this amounts to a tax upon the
planters of $1,819,200, Enough
more eiuno into tho Htulo through
l’ort Itoy.il ami Charleston, to mako
the entire bill for shipments up to tho
first of this month, two million dollars.
Counting in all sorts to the eh tn of

that Georgia will pay three and a-half
million dollars thin year for fertilizers,
or one hale of cotton out of every
seven that slio ordinarily produces.
Tho Tribune says tho demand for
I’resident Grant to speak out on tho

and threnlniug. It comes new from

.The Important Subject
Of Life Insnarnco is gradually and
deservedly gaining public attention by
flm ft,ire of its own merits. The time
is not far distant when the death of a
man leuving his family uiq rovided
for by a policy of Life Assurance, will
leave tbs stain of neglected duly upon
his character. It is a duty which < v-
ery one owes to his own dej endents
and tu tho community. Ib win neg
lects it is not a good husband, f i t
or citizen. He has no right even to
risk the chance of throwing the future
support of his famiiy, in case of nis
death, on the community at large, or
on relatives and friends, when it is in
bis power so easily to provide against
such contingencies.
Tho Mobile Life
Issues policies on nil tho approved
plans of Insurance.
In Ihe middle lands of iii’.j few lif e

tin* way of Life Assure: :t», the head
of a family t in make sure Hint, die
when hr n ay, even on tho day after
tin* first annual payment, Ins widow
and children will ho endowed with u
certain amount of money.
Take an Endowmefit Policy,
and thus provido for your family iu

One ought to ho satisfied if hr gets,
at llie end of twenty years, all tho

seven percent, interest, and has lmd
the as. uranee, all through those twen
ty years that, in ease he died, the full
amount of tho policy would at once

Uni same. It seems loo good to hr
inn*, but it can bo proved if you will

a smart young umn who had no menus

"No," said tho swain. 'Then you 1

FOR ^TOXJISTO MEN
People s- nu tiuHS object that they
cannot "afford" to assure. Such uu
urgumedt should rather touch a man
tho imperative necessity for nssueing
at once. It hr feels so much diffculty
in withdrawing such a trille of his iu-
comc, let him relit et on the nightful
condition into which his death would
plunge his family.
Insure in the Mobile Lift* at once.
