EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
Letter from a Cool Country.
AVe publish on the first page of
this week's Dispatch an interesting
letter from Mr. J. O. Jelks, Jr., who
Writes us front Montreal, Canada.
It is almost a punishment to
our readers, we know, to tell them
how delightfully cool it is away up
North, where Mr. Jelks finds it nec
essary to Wear an overcoat, while we
ttre sweltering here in the thiunost
lillcn, ltis letter upon the crops,
scenery, etc., will be found interest
ing reading.
Now for a Torpedo Chicken.
The newspapers of the state are
creating a great hubbub about that
mythical humbug, the “torpedo
chicken,” for which Reese, of the
Macon Telegvaph, says Harris, of
the Savannah News, is State agent.
Now, we don’t want a sub-agency,
and wouldn’t have it, if tendered to
oa, but we have this to say, that our
old friend Linson Brown, living on
Cobb Creek, in this county, left with
us a strangely-shaped egg, rather flat
on one side, and looking as if the hen
did her clean best to impress the
English alphabet on the shell. That
scientific hen-ologist, John Pale,
says that the defect in this egg was
caused by a lack of lime to omplete
the shell. In other words, that an
•egg shell is composed of lime, and
'there was not enough left to fill out
this egg. Our clever friend Rev.
Mr. H. jestingly says that it must be
one of those “topedo chicken” eggs
about which Reese lias recently
written so much. Right here we
leave the matter, only suggesting
-that a few more such days as wc are
’having will prove one-thing, to-wit:
that it is really a very “bad egg.”
A Turkish Bath.
Dr. J. Stcinback Willson, of At
lanta, who conducts the Elygenic In
stitute in that city, very appropri
ately invited the Press Association
while in session the other day to call
at his establishment and take a Turk
ish Bath. Several members of the
Press accepted, among others, the
editor of the Dispatch. It is need
less for us to expatiate upon the
modus operandi of a Tuskish Bath.
' The man who goes through, in genu
< the Turkish style, and doesn’t come
• out clean sed from the roots of his
-hair to the nails of his tees, need
Iha-ve no further faith in his own
•sweat. We don’t propose to te'l
-what the two young men said or did
who went through the bath with us.
-It would be wrong in us to say that
"after one of them had been thorough
ly heated in the “hot roooro,” where
the heat was 150 degrees, had been
laid out on a large marble slab,
soaped all over, and then submitted
with great fortitude to the bastinado,
that a “land slide” on a small scale
was discovered. It would be equally
wrong to tell some other things that
happened. Suffice to say, that Dr.
Willson thoroughly understands the
nature and habits of the average edi
tor, and knows the beneficial effects
'of a Turkish bath. His invitation
"was very suggestive, and was fully
■accepted by many of the editorial
fraternity.
But J. W. Fears lost a splendid
‘opportunity to do the ‘“clean thing”
and make himself famous by not in
viting all the editors out to his soap
factory.
A Bee Tree Containing Thirty
Oallona of Honey.
Morgan S'wails, a citizen of Irwin
'county, has Covered himself all over
with sweetness. lie found a bee tree
that was hollow for about twenty-
IflVe ftfet and contained seven separate
‘peaces where the bees entered. He
invited four families and about a
dozen girls, in all thirty-nine per
sons, who took pans, buckets and
tubs. They obtained from the tree
about thirty gallons of fine, clean
Ikoney, besides eating and wasting a
considerable quantity. It was esti
mated that the tree contained as
many as ten distinct swarms of bees.
Mr. James Bishop, of Bastman,
publishes a card in the Times thank
ing the citizens of that town for their
cordial and unanimous endorsement
of his character. A public meeting
was held for the purpose of express
ing their indignation at the summary
maimer in which Mr. Bishop was re
moved from the agency at Eastman
by the Macon ti Brunswick railroad
authorities. The removal was made
upon false charges against the integ
rity of Mr. Bishop, and the citizens,
who have ever recognized in him an
honorable and upright man, gave
vent to their feelings through a pub
lic meeting.
His Name is Smith.
The champion farm# is named
Smith, and he lives in Oglethorpe
county. He sowed 17 bushels in
wheat on 18 acres, and saved 425
bushels; 2 acres in oats, and made
125 bushels, and has now 1,600 acres
in cotton and 1,000 in corn. He ex
pects to make 800 bales of cotton,
and an average of 20 bushels of corn
to the acre. Ffty tons of commer
cial guano were used by him. One
hundred acres of the cotton is ma
nured with cotton seed and stable
manure, which are the best of his
crop.
The First Open 8011-Bulls and
Bears, Look Out 1
We know this will lie mortifying
news to many of our readers, and
perhaps some of them will hold a
meeting and denounce us for being
so foolisli as to announce that we
have received an open boll of cotton
of this year’s growth I Indeed, some
of our most intelligent (?) friends
have already been to us and implored
us not to mention the fact, because
Wall Street speculators will hear of
it and will inaugurate a plan at once
to run down prices to five cents a
pound. We know ail this, gentle
men, but you know that “truth
crushed to earth will rise again.”
Therefore, we cannot suppress a fact.
We know that the “bulls and bears”
on Wall Street, in New York, are
waiting eagerly to learn what the
Hawkinsville Dispatch has to say on
the first open boll of cotton, and that
as soon as onr paper readies them
there will be a grand discussion in
the Exchange as to what the Dis
patch thinks about the crop. We
imagine now that we see one of the
“bulls” with a copy of the Dispatch
in hand rushing' frantically down
Wall Street, proclaiming that an
open boll of cotton has been found
near tiie great cotton shipping port
of Hawkinsville. We see a crowd of
wild speculators gather about him,
and shout hurrah for the cotton crop
of the South, lock up their money
and force down prices. But we can’t
help it. The boll of cotton was taken
from a stalk on the farm of Mr. Dan
iel Malloy, in Telfair, and was
brought to us safely by Mr. Partin,
the mail carrier. The boll may have
been “crippled” and therefore epened
before fully maturing, but it’s
“open,” and that’s enough.
AVe hope our friends will not be
troubled too much about this an
nouncement, as we shall probably
write a letter to our Wall Street
agency to explain the matter before
the speculators take advantage of it
and depress the market to any great
extent.
Wonderful Freaks of Logivliting.
On the evening of the 29th ult., a
thunder cloud arose over the place of
Mr. Lyman Dixon, near
the Ocmulgee river, alaHpbrty miles
below Ilawkinsville. Rafn and light
ning accompanied the cloud, and af
ter the rain was over, it was discov
ered that the lightning had struck a
point in Mr. Dixon’s cotton patch,
some distance from the house. About
a fourth of an acre of the cotton was
scorched severely. The electric fluid
then passed to a fence near by, and
followed it for seventy-five yards,
killing the weeds as it went, but not
moving or injuring the fence.
Stranger than this, however, is the
fact that after the rain had ceased
there was found in the yard of
Mr. Dixon a cat fish about
six inches in length. The presump
tion was that the fish came down
with the rain, as none of the family
could account for it in any other
way. It was placed in a tub of water,
and was found swimming around the
next morning.
Sending Boys to College,
The Savannah Advertiser gets a
few facts into small space, as witness
thts :
Hundreds of young men are annu
ally sent to college with high ambi
tions an.a bulky baggage, who would
do better by staying at home and
consenting themselves with the first
principles of our language. Often
have wc known youths, fresh and
beardless, to bid adieu to home and
kindred and with a parents’ hard
earnings in pocket hasten away to
some of our classical fountains of
knowledge, and in a few years return,
robust, faces buried in hair, and
launch out into the’road of life as
professional base ball tossers, bar
keepers, assistant hotel clerks, or
other posts equally onerous and ex
alted. A college life, unless the pu
pil has common sense and substantial
ambition, combined with studied dil
igence, will tend to dissipation, reck
lessness, and unfit a young man for
anything, for most boys go to college
now-a-days “to have a good time
to “see life,” and do almost anything
else except what is destined for
them.
The Old Style the Best.
The Brunswick Appeal is another
paper that has tried the “paten out
side” plan and is now satisfied it will
not do. Hear the Appeal:
Wc tried the co-operative plan,
but we failed to find any advantage
in it to us. It enabled a hundred or
more humbug advertisers to reach
our readers. When our patronage is
insufficient to publish a creditable
paper, and entirely at home, wo
shall strike and fold our flag, and,
like the Arab, “quietly steal away.”
The health of Albany is represent
ed by the News to bo better at the
present time than at any other season
of the year, and is remarkably free
from malarial and climatic diseases.
The Brunswick and Albany rail
road, says the Albany News, is to be
extended from the junction to East
Albany as far as Tift’s bridge. It in
volves the raising of money in Al
bany x which has been nearly accom
plished. It is to be completed by
the first of October, and will increase
cotton receipts at that point 25,000
to 40,000 bales. The News wants
the city to put up $50,000.
Crops in the upper pai t of Worth
count}' are in splendid condition,
with the exception of corn, which is
not so promising.
Cotton Report for July.
Washington, July 15 The July
returns to the Department of Agri
culture are unusually full—showing
an improvement of the cotton crop
during June in all the cotton States
except Texas.
The total averages are as follows :
North Carolina, 95, an improvement
of 3 per cent. South Carolina, 99,
improvement of 2 per cent. Geor
gia, 9T, improvement of G per cent.
Florida, 100, improvement of 1 per
cent. Alabama, 102, improvement
of 10 per cent. Mississippi, 103, im
provement of 3 per cent. Louisiana,
105, improvement of 10 per cent.
Texas, 93, decline of 3 per cent.
Arkansas, 104, improvement of 14
per cent. Tennessee, 109, improve
ment of 10 per cent.
Some portions. of the cotton area
were afflicted with drought, which,
however, was less injurious to cotton
than to other crops. Its injuries
were mostly compensated.by the op
portunity it afforded for better work
ing of other crops. In Texas cut
worms, cotton caterpillars a:id grass
hoppers were injurious in some local
ities. A few isolated reports also
mention cotton lice, but the insect
depredations so far have not affected
the crop to an extent worth estimat
ing.
The Cotton Congress Again.
Raleigh, July 15 The Cotton
States Congress adjourned to-dav at
1 o’clock, after a harmonious and in
teresting session of three days.
The only business of importance
transacted to-day was the hearing of
an address, by appointment of the
last congress, from Col. J. L.
Bridges, of North Carolina, on the
general subject of agriculture in the
Southern States. There was com
pelled to be a change of agriculture
in the States. Population and pros
perity diminishing in quantity
and quality. The loss on production
from 1860 to 1810 had been enor
mous, while the loss in area of culti
vated land was over seven million
acres. He opposed the cutting up of
land into small farms as tending to
reduce all farming to the forty acre
and a mule system. The inert min
erals in the earth were sufficient to
produc#good crops, by atmospheric
action. The Soutli could save one
hundred million dollars in feeding
horses on oats and clover, instead of
corn and fodder.
The Same Old Cry.
The Selma, (Ala.,) Times, of Tues
day last, says: “The rains of the past
ten days have secured for us a good
com crop beyond perad venture.
There will be thousands of bushels of
native corn this fall for sale at fifty
cents per bushel. The long lane is
about to turn, sure.” Last year,
about this time, the very same pre
diction came to us from several parts
of Georgia. AVe remember, particu
larly, Houston and Thomas counties,
in which more corn was going to be
made than the people of those coun
ties could consume, and it was to
sell as low as fifty cents per bushel.
But corn is now higher all over
Georgia, and has been for months,
than for many ygprs previous. It
brings $1 15 oi $1 20 cash in Hous
ton county. Even in North Georgia,
where it usually sells at fifty to sixty
cents per bushel, it now commands
$1 to $1 10. Cheap corn in the
South is a blessing yearly promised,
but never realized Columbus En
quirer Sun.
The Currency Question.
The Athens Watchman has this to
say on this question: Like the Gree
ley movement, certain Democratic
editors would do well to let the cur
rency question firercely alone—sim
ply from the fact that it is an issue
upon which we cannot all agree. At
the South, as everj where else, there
is a difference of opinion on this sub
ject. It seems to be thought in some
sections that the Southern people are
all in favor of inflation. This is not
so. Those who have anything to sell
may favor it, inasmuch as inflation
must inevitably raise prices. The
trouble with our people is, that the
great mass of them are buyers, and
instead of benefitting it will greatly
injure them, by inflating the price's
of commodities without increasing
their supply of greenbacks. The cur
rency question is one beset with
difficulties, at best, and we very cap
itally doubt whether the country is
now in a condition to make a sudden
change desirable. ‘Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof.” Let us not
needlessly spring troublesome issues.
There are many other matters of
greater importance than the currency
demanding reformation. When they
have been disposed of, it will be time
enough to tackle the currency ques
tion. Confi lcnce is needed more
than currency. There is plenty' of
currency locked up where it is doing
no good whatever—a full sufficiency
for the legitimate wants of trade and
commerce—but until confidence is
restored it will not sec daylight
again.
The Atbany News says that Hamp
Cook of that placs, who has just re
turned from a buggy trip through
the oaky woods of Dougherty coun
ty and a large portion of Calhoun Clay,
Early and Baker counties, says
that the crops are well cultivated
and promising, and the people are
nearly “out of the woods,” financial
ly speaking. He saw no poor crops
and not exceeding three or four that
wore not perfectly clean and in good
growing condition. Plenty of "rain
had fallen ; and vegetation was lux
uriant, and the people were smiling
with gladness and bright hope.

W. n. Branch had a desperate
fight with a negro on his father's
plantation, at Branchville, in Mitch
ell county, the other day. They had
had some previous difficulty when
the negro had him arrested under a
warrant, and while he was in the
custody of the officer the negro in
sulted Branch, who immediately re
sented it. The negro thon seized a
large hickory stick and commenced a
desperate onslaught and continued it
until shutdown by Branch, who got
possession of a pistol, at the fifth
fire, four of which took effect, three
in the legs and one in the left abdo
men, which passed through ami out
at the back. Mr. B.'s left arm was
beaten almost to a jelly and his head
severely bruised and cut.

A Hero.
There is enough of heroism and
nerve in the way a Tennessee loco
motive engineer met his death to
temper with sympathy the judge
ment which his fool-hardiness de
serves He was employed on the
Georgia and East Tennessee rail
road, and was cautiously working
his way over the track with a passen
ger train just after the recent floods
had subsided. He reached Sweet
water Creek, over which a temporary
bridge had been built in place of the
one washed away by the swollen
waters. It seemed insecure, and he
feared to risk his train and his pas
sengers in crossing it; so, uncoup
ling the engine from its tender, and
ordering the fireman to leave his
post, that but one life might be en
dangered, he dashed at full speed for
the other bank. There were mo
ments of breathless suspense, then a
crash of broken timbers, an explosion,
a cloud of steam, and a wrecked
engine. The engineer was seen no
more; the rushing river into which
he fall swept his body far away,
leaving only his name, David Ual
loway, to memorise his generous but
reckless act.
Good Advice to Young Men in
an Old Will.
Glancing over the will of Robert
Bolton, filed in the office of the
Ordinary in 1802, we were struck
with the following conditional
bequests, and commend the latter
especially to the consideration of
young men who are over fond of
th#bup that cheers >aud inebriates as
well:
“I give to my son James my silver
mounted small sword, never to be
unsheathed but in a "virtuous cause.”
“To whichever ol my sons that
may be much inclined to much com
pany ani drinking I give my por
traits, strictly enjoining on the un
fortunate youth to give it the most
conspicuous place in his dining room,
that when he sees it lie may recollect
that it represents a father who never
was intoxicated, and whose detesta
tion of that vice should restrain his
son from the practice of it. But if
neither of my sons require this injunc
tion, (which God grant,) let my por
trait remain with that of my wite
and sister, in the posession of my
daughters, who, I doubt not, will
respect the charge. —Savannah News.
On Sunday night last the house of
Mr. Ed. Hutchinson, of Oglethorpe
county, and son of Dr. Hutchinson,
the Representative of that county,
was robbed by a negro boy about
fifteen years of age, and then fired.
The house and its entire contents
were consumed, the family barely es
caping the raging flames. The negro
was caught, and is now confined in
the Lexington jail.
Mr. George Lußpkin, of Cass
county, Texas, and his son, Mr. John
R. Lumpkin, Milam county, of the
same State, and both formerly citi
zens of Floyd county, arrived in
Rome on Friday night last to visit
their relatives. The father is 15
ycara old and has been in Ttxas
more than 24 years, and the son over
23. This is the first return of both
to their old home.
Columbus Sun: Wc arc told by
those who ought to know, that the
wife of Rev. Dr. Skinner, pastor of

about a year, and since at Athens,
Ga., has inherited a fortune of S2OO
- The possession of $200,000 by
anyone rakes up scores of friends,

land. Wc congratulate the reverend
gentleman on his good fortune. ’
It is said on good authority that
the country north of the Chattahoo
chee will, with one more rain, make
more corn this year than lor the past
three years put together.
Mr. Moon, of Romo, has a hive of
bees which, from the 9th of April to
the 30th of June, produced six
swarms, netting, clear of all expenses,
two hundred dollars.
Rev. J. M. Callaway, of West
Point, set out cabbage plantj in a
plot of ground which had been
mulched with leaves, but failed to
produce Irish potatoes. They have
grown without cultivation, to an
extraordinary size—outstripping by
far those which have been carefully
worked.
The Country Press.
There arc few people who do the
country paper full justice. Most
everybody is inclined to look away
over the shoulders of the country ed
itors, to some paper printing more
reading matter, and then make com
parisons. There are people who ac
tually believe it impossible to find a
parson with common sense, with in
dustry or with brains in the office of
a country newspaper; a newspaper
can have no charms for them unless
it can be mystified under a stangc
personality. The country newspa
per is one of the most important
attributes of every town in the
United States. AVlien a colony set
tles anywhere with the intention of
building a village, the first thought
is a newspaper; the press is thus
in the very vanguard of civilization.
It is the useful agent in every place
of progress .and growth. There iB
not another single power that can
do so much good, patient work in the
way of building up as the loeal news
paper. It is not altogether hnpoi
tant how it is edited, whether with
ability or not, so that it be conduct
ed with an industry and enterprise
at least side by side wtih the town ;
if it can afford to keep a few years in
advance it is all the better, A coun
try paper that had little else than ad
vertisements would be an immense
help to any place, for advertisements
constitute a reliable index to the
character, business and general con
dition of the town. AVithout a news
paper, with its local news and busi
ness announcements, what would
the average American city or vill age
be ? It would surely be unknown
to its neighbors.
o
Ihe country weeklies ought to be
the best supported newspapers of the
whole land, for they contain news
and gossip that cannot be found in
any of the city dailies. The farmer
can learn from his local paper—if he
prefers to take it instead of some more
expensive publication—how much
his ncightbor’s sixty-acre larm sold
for, how the schools are prospering,
the price of butter and eggs at the
village market, and what improve
ments are in progress through the
section in which he lives. He can
get none of this in the city paper,
and he cannot be a thoroughly use
ful citizens withont such items of
light information. It is not always
that the best town supports the best
newspapers, but it is strictly a fact
that no place ever gets credit for
being thrifty or enterprising until it
can send out a first-class paper, and
that always depends more upon the
people than editor —Fort Scott Moni

•‘My Son, Play Ginger Some
Move.”
Some time sir.ee, a good old broth
er of the Methodist church, not far
off, consented to allow the young
people the use of his parlow for an
evening part}', with the understand
ing tl\at they were not to dance or
plav twistification. After a large
number had assembled several of the
juveniles approached Uncle Johnny
with a pitiful look, and requested
him to play just one game of twisti
fication. The old gentleman de
clined, saying that it was ‘twin-sister’
to dancing, and lie would noit have
his family disgraced by allowing any
such games to be ployed in his
house.’ Now, Stevy, you know, is a
right shrewd boy, and he decided to
out the old gentleman for otic time,
any how; so he goes around the
room and requests all his young
friends to call twistification by the
name of ‘Ginger.’ This being
agreed to, the game of Ginger (?)
commenced. The old gentleman ex
pressed himself as highly pleased
with the game, and after the boys
and girls had completely tired them
selves down, and all had been seated,
the unsuspecting old man, with a
smile upon his untroubled counte
nance, advanced to the centre of the
room, and said: ‘Stevy, my son,
play Ginger some more I’
What Not to Do.
A farmer should not. be so land
grasping as to imperil the title of
what lie now owns, in the attempt
to possess all that joins him.
He should not attempt to culti
vate more than he can attend to
thoroughly, nor keep more stock
than hiraan feed well.
lie should not put off the purchase
of auy implements he needs, until
the work is mostly done that re
quires it.
He should not let his stock run
down in winter so low that it takes
all summer for them to recruit.
