THE GOVERNOR TALKS
About His Early Youth and
Growth to Manhood.
Enamored of His Pretty Pupil He
Makes Her His Wife. Short
Sketches of Interest.
It was just forty-eight years ago that
Georgia’s present governor, Hon. W.
J. Northen, received his first Hogging,
and his life since then has been a re¬
markable one, not void of romantic
touches by any means.
The son of a well to-do farmer, he
was given a fine education and became
a school teacher. Ilia health became
so bad, however, that he was forced tp
give up his school and take up the
work of his father before him, farming;
and farmer he was—a veritable Cincin
natus-when he was called oy the peo
pi" of Georgia to take upon himself the
mantle of gubernatorial honors.
But all this has nothing to do with
his early life and youthful ambitions,
It is best to let Governor Northen tell
his own story, taking in the time when
he was red-faced, bare-legged little
Billy Northen, his mother’s pet and
the terror of the entire neighborhood,
Ou a number of points the Governor
declares that he is entirely ignorant,
and assured his visitor that it were bet
ter so, having no desire to make Gov
ernor William J. Northen bear the re
sponsibililies of Billy Northen’s early
toughness.
“As near as I have been able to get
at it,” said the governor, leaning
in his easy chair, “1[was born inJones
county on July U, 183o. When I was
quite yong—1 think 1 was five-years
old—my father moved to Greene coun
ty. Whether it was the name, or the
county proper, that agreed with me so
well, I do not pretend to say; but as I
look back,” here the governor tipped
hi mself nearly over in an attempt to
wink at himself, a smile spreading over
bis countenance, “I can see that 1 was
very young for my age. I earned my
first money hauling wood. I don’t re
member did exactly how much it was or
what I with it, still I have a faint
remembrance that the last nickel’s
worth of the wood-hauling tasted like
peppermint candy.”
And lbe governor smackrd bis lips
p ml closed his eyes as if the bare
thought of his happy boyhood days
much for " "
was too him.
“Did you ever get a thrashing at
school? 1 was a question fired at Gov
emor Northen and the next moment.
so dignified did the governor appear.
that it sounded foolish. The govern
or’s dignity didn’t last long. His eyes
bega*to twinkle, bis features relaxed
and be buret into a hearty schoolboy
laugh. :?
“Well, yes,” he replied, “I got whip¬
ped about my spelling lesson: !
always near the head of my ftsson. eiass, anil
never failed to know my One

day,” and the governor blushed vigor
ously, “a lillle girl joined the class.
She was about ten years old and L was
the same age. I paid more attention
to her than I did my lessons that day;
the flogging followed last as a matter flogged of
course. The time I got
was when I was thirteen years of age.
It was about the synopsis of a Greek
contract verb; 1 missed it entirely.
Alter 1 began to teach school when a
boy missed his lesson in that part of
the book 1 never flogged him, but this
C
why.
“1 graduated at Emory college when
I was seventeen years old and imme
diately began to teach school. I was
just seventeen when I met the girl who
was to be my wife. I boarded at the
home of her father and she went to
school to me for over a year. She was
a sweet, palefaced little girl and my
heart went right outto her; it was a
case of love at first sight. She was the
first girl I ever courted and seven
years later I married her.
“I had been leaching school about
two years when Dr. Carlisle ISeman
came to my .little school to hear me ex
amine my pupils. He was principal
of the famous Ml. Zion High school,
I knew that he knew it all, and 1 was
agitated accordingly. 1 worked hard
that day, and I will never forget that
it was the proudest day of my life. I
had on a pair of new suspenders, which
had a beautiful green stripe running
throusth them; that night I discovered
that 1 had on a hand-painted shirt. It
was thoroughly soaked and had the ap
pearance of an Easier egg. But what
I was proud of was the fact that as
soon as the examination was over Dr.
Beman offered me a place with him.
I accepted his offer and soon succeed
ed my Rind friend, who retired. My
health forced me to go to farming.”

1'ucle Tom’s Cabin,” John Temple

contentedly and peacefully. The whites
are doing the same. There is no race
war in the South.
In conversation with aji editorial
writer of this paper, Hoke Smith made
the following statements and gave per
mission to publish the same verbatim:
“The South passed through its fiuan
cial stress last year. It then curtailed
expenses, and consequently is in a fa
vorable condition to stand the present
season of distrust and contraction. The
South may be affected by the sti ingen

its efforts to handle the cotton crop.
“We certainly have undeveloped re
sources in the South that afford mtelli
gent immigrants an excellent field for
work. I think it could be safely said
that a proper appreciation of these
portunities has not been shown by ini
migration either from the North, or,
more especially, from foreign countries,
“We have a constantly increasing
population of New Englanders coming
mlo the South, and we cordially wel
come it.
“I heartily indorse any effort for the
encouragement of immigration to the
South. Men from the North or abroad
will be cordially received there, and
they will find ample opportunity to
employ skilled efforts in the direction
of agricultural or manufacturing enter
prises. 1 tie resources of the section
in both respect* are great, and to a
large extent, open to development. It
is probable that false publications upon
the relations of the white and black
man in the South have in the past
terred immigration.

A MONSTROSITY.
As Great a Wonder as the Siamese
Twins Born in Atlanta.
A human monstrosity that, will create
a sensation in the medical world hh an
anatomical wonder was born in Atlan¬
I ta day before yesterday and died im¬
mediately after its birth.
It was a child with Imt one chest Imt
two pair of perfectly developed legs

11 wou ‘ (1 have taken rank among such
anatomical specimens as Chang and
Eng, the famous Siamese twins and
Mille Christine.
As it is, the child will he preserved
in aicohol and will he considered one
of the greatest human curiosities
known Veslerday, to the no medical ess than profession. liftv prom
-
nent physicians child of the city pronounced viewed and
examined the and it
a veritable wonder.
The monstrosity is at Dr. Curtis’
drug store on the corner of I! road and
Mitchell streets, and that place was the
center of interested groups of physicians
throughout the day yesterday.
The child is the offspring of negro
parents, its mother being Lizzie Grant,
of No. 27 Battle street. The father is
a day lalmrer.
It weighs fifteen pounds, and is of
normal size. The head is large, and
well formed and covered with hair.
The features of the face are perfectly
developed, as are the bust and developed arms.
The arms are especially well
and are of good size.
Below the ribs two bodies begin and
are finely female; developed. One is the body
a the other of a male. Two
arms are in the normal place and two
« r ow out frtim between the ribs and
Sips. normal The four legs are even larger
than size and grow out from
the hips.
One of the strangest things about
this strange piece of humanity is the
arrangement of the digestive, organs.
These organs are located outside of
the abdominal cavity, as are-the heart
and liver. The lungs are in their prop
er .,| a( . e i n the chest. There is
one spinal column.

it.

viewing it from a standpoint of a physi

equals in the history of monstrosity,
He regarded it as a rare and valuable

of anatomy in one of the Atlanta col
leges, t said that he had searched

A NOVEL PLAN.
One that Will Give Speculators and
Middle Men the Go By.
The farmers of Bibb county propose
a plan for the handling of the cotton
crop which is a very decisive step in
the direction of direct trade.
The plan is a new and in some re¬
spects a novel one.
issue They propose to join together and
certificates on t heir cotton crop,
and with thoso certificates to pay their
debts. The cotton is to be held until
it can be sold direct to the European
markets. Here is what the document,
being Macon, signed by the farmers about
“Let says:
every county in the cotton sec¬
tions in Georgia and throughout the
whole Houth organize their own clear¬
ing house certificates based upon their
own cotton. Cotton is, and ever has
been, currency- It brings specie pay¬
ment in Europe. If the farmer owes
money to the merchant let the mer¬
chant he paid with a cotton certificate
or with the cotton itself, anil that, too,
at 8 cents per pound. Colton is fully
worth it and ought to bring it.
“We advise a direct trade with Eng¬
land and other manufacturing nations
in European Europe. Too long have both the
farmer purchaser and the Southern
been made to support the north¬
ern mills and the middle man specula
tor. l-etthe European purchaser buy
direct from the South when the cotton
is produced and it is as clear as the
noonday sun that both parties will be
greatly send benelitted. I .el the Europeans
their vessels to Southern ports
for cotton.
“Let us assure our friends, the Eng¬
lish, the French, the Belgians and all
other trans-Allautic cotton dealers
and manufacturers that between 7,
000,000 and H,000,000 bales of cotton
within a few months will greet the
arrival of their vessels in Southern
waters. Let their agents bring the
specie or its equivalent with them and
the tariff will soon be reduced, foreign
merchants and manufacturers will
find a harvest in trade through ail the
American cotton slates for their vari¬
ous classes of cloths, goods and wares
of every description. We respectfully
ask all business men of every industrial
employment to co-operate with ns iu
our laudable enterprise to move our
crops and to release themselves from
the avaricious grasp of plutocratic Shy
locks. We also ask the newspapers of
our peals country to give publicity to our ap¬
and encouragement to our ef¬
forts.”
