F. A. Sinquefield of Jeffer son county lost his gin house and about forty bales of cotton by fire recently. The loss is $2,500 to $3,- 000 without insurance. The past week has been marked by au unusually largo number of disastrous conflagrations iu various parts of tho State. On Friday sparks from a passing engine ignited some cotton on the platform of the depot at Barnesville. Tho flames were quickly communicated to the ware house near by where 140 boles of cotton were burned; from thence tho Lyons house took fire and was consumed. From thence the flames spread until 32 business houses, composing four-fifths of tho busi ness portion of the city and throe residences wero in ashes. Tho Ceu' tral Railroad loses 280 bales of cot ton. The entire loss is placed at $30,000 on which theie is $17,000 insurance. GEO. S. OBEAR, 110 Cherry St., Macon 3 - - Geo.

Hupp s Bon A Co, Sandersviile, May 6,1881-tf Thomasvillo was hIbo visited by tho destroyer. The elegant resi dence of Mr. Thos. Mitchell, tho most magnificent in that section of the State was burned on Friday. It was insured for $7,000. The same gentleman is the proprietor of the splondid Mitchell House burned last year. Cochran at one o’clock on the morning of the 18th had an incendi ary fire destroying a number of wooden buildings, business houses mainly with a considerable amount of merchandise. On the same fatal morning Edge field S. C. was swept by the flumes, aud only three of her 16 stores left standing. The loss iB valued at $109,000 ; the fire is believed to be of incendiary origin. Tho Ohio eloofion has resulted wore favorably than was generally predicted to the democracy. The epublican majority in the State is about 11,000, aud 11 democrats to 10 republican Congressmen have been elected. When the methods used to swell the republican vote, are considered, the assessment o! office holders, the thrusting of Mr. Blaine upon the hustings, and his isit to 48 counties and 70 cities and personally seeing 1,500,000 persons as is alleged, it can only be regard ed in tho light of a democratic tri umph, that so small a republican majority should be scored. The election in Cincinnati is declared to be the bloodiest ever held there. Tho democratic papers assert (hat 1000 deputy marshals wore mainly employed to intimidate honest vo ters. It is not improbable that even Ohio may go democratic in Novem ber. Wost Virginia has gone dera ocratic by over 6,000 majority. A solid South for Cleveland is now be yond a peradventure. A frightful tragedy ooenrred in Emanuel county on Friday night 10th inst. E. Auderson Odom was shot and instantly killed at the house of Chess. Flanders by John Cheek. There was a dance at the house, and whisky is said to have been at the bottom of the trouble. The men wore boasting of their friendship to each other, when Odom made some remark about the wife of Cheek at which he took offense, and soon leaving the house, was followed by Odom. The report of pistol shots was heard, and Odom fell piercod by two balls, either of which would have proved fatal. The murderer immo diately fled and was pursued imme diately by a party of armed men, who with others effected his arrest oq Wednesday night in a swamp near Blackshear’s Mill in Laurens county. He waB lodged in Swains- borojail on Thursday night. Mr Odom leaves a wifo and seven chil dren. Cheek is a man of 45 years of age, aud is under bad repute. The verdict of the jury of inquest pronounces the killing murder. into office —The French were de feated in tho late battle with the Chinese at Tamsni, with a loss of 16 killed and 49 wounded.—A hide factory was butned in New York on the 16th with a losi of $100,000.— The failure of the old and popular firm of James G Bailie & Sons, of Augusta will bo learned with re grets by their friends throughout the State.

Origin of fire unknown.— The Oconee river is lower at Dub lin, than it has been for 25 years, says the ferryman there. The wells in the townjire beginning to fail.— The Brooklyn Pageant. The marshaling of the rank and file of the democracy at the grand mass meeting in Brooklyn on Thurs day last, was perhaps the grandest political pageant ever witnessed on the continent. The shrieks from hundreds of steam whistles, the dec orations of buildings, the waving of hundreds of while handkerchiefs from ladies, flags and banners flying from all parts of the city, as the immense prooession marched trium phantly through the densely crow ded streets, all presented a panora ma of enthusiasm and patriotic de votiou, that scouts tho idea of defeat to the democratic hearts in the em pire state: Standing up in his open barouche the Governor bowed his acknowl edgments in response to the greeting accorded him, and looked out upon the enthusiastic throng with a pleas ed smile. His expression was ooe of entire self-possession, satisfaction und quiot confidence. On arriving at Ridgewood Park the Governor wau escorted to the grand stand and was introduced by Augustus Van Wyck. The Govern or was received with tremendous cheers. Governor Cleveland said Among the many invitations to visit different points which I have felt obliged to decline came one from Brooklyn friends to be their guest to-day. This 1 could not decline for i could not forget the kindness 1 have received at the bauds of the people of this city and the hearty and generous support they gave me when, a stranger to them, 1 was a candidate for the suffrages of the people of our state and looking tor their support. Whether I am justi fied in the sentiments 1 feel toward tho city or not, 1 feel in a degree to wards it as one feels towards his own home. In the midst of such intelli gout thought aud independent polit ical action that prevails here, it would be presumptuous, if it were otherwise proper for me to refer in a special manner to the pending po litical oampaign. •This vast aBsem binge and the interest and enthnsi asm which pervades its every part fully evidence the belief that there is involved in this canvass some thiDg of great importance to your interest and welfare, and this feeling is generally aroused, and when it leads to calm investigation and de liberate inquiry there is no danger that the people will make a mistake in their determination of the issue. Your institutions will be maintained iu their integrity, and the benign in fluonces of popular government will fill the rpmotest corner of the land when all our citizeus from the high est to the humblest shall feel this is their government and that they are responsible for its proper adminis tration, aud that they cannot now safely neglect it or follow blindly or thoughtlessly Belf-constituted and selfish leaders. I shall say no more than to express my thanks to the people for all they have done for me in the past and return my thanks to all here assembled for tbeir kindness. No man nur party Bball ask more. At the conclusion of the Govern or’s speech Gen. George. McClellan was introduced and was accorded a rousing welcome. His -audience was entirely with him. He said: I am satisfied that the people of this country can safely entrust to Gov. Cleveland the vast interests of the land, for be possesses the ed. I feel that the man "Cleveland” will be our next President. It was expected that Mr. Hen dricks; the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, would be pros ent to share the weloome given Mr. Cleveland, but he did not come. There were four other stands from which addresses were to be deliver ed, each of which had a definite programme to it, but the demonstra tion was so vast that the programmes got beyond the control of the com mittee, And all the stands were used at one time. Among tie speakers were Gov. Abbott of New Jersey, Gov. Walker of Connecticut, Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania, Congress man 8. S. Cox, H. B. Sharp, Judge Kelley of Philadelphia. Gen. Soigel and Albert B. Schofield of Philadel phia. —^ Rai.dall Franklin acts as a Posso Comitatus. Mr. Rditor:— A grand gloomy and peculiar scene was to be seen passing a road iu tho 93d on yes terday. It was a procession of not much magnitude but it was large enough to attract the attention of the observer big and small. It was largo enough to have the full Bway of the 30 feet road bed allowed by our statutes of limitation. It was pe culiar from its make up. It was gloomray iu ifcs forebodings. It was grand in its conposition. Ahl sit if that procession could have pass around the public square in your city, it would have oalled forth those who had gathered iu the "gems" the ladies from their domestic du ties, the proprietors of those mam moth store*, tho schools would have dismissed for awhile, the preachers from i heir studios, the lawyers from Charleston News end Conrier. On the day he was elected Gov ernor of the State of New York, Grover Cleveland wrote \ private letter to his brother. This letter passed into the possession of a Re publican, from whom it has been ob tained by the New York Indepen dent which now publishes it. The letter is as follows: Mayor’s Office, Buffalo, ) November 7, 1882. [ My Dear Brother:—1 have just voted. I sit hero in the Mayor’s Office alone, with the exception of an artist from Frank Leslie’s news- taper, who is sketching the office, f mother was here I should be wri ting to her, and 1 feel as if it wort- time for mo to be writing to Borne one who will believe what I write, i have been lor some timo in the at mosphere of oertaiu success, so that I have been sure that 1 should as sume the dutits of the high office for which I have been named. I have tried hard, in the light of this fact, to properly appreciate the re sponsibilities that will reBt upon me and they are much, too much under estimated. But the thought that has troublod me is: Can I well per form my duties, and in such a man ner as to do some good to the people of the State? 1 know there is room for it, aud 1 know that I am honest and iu my desire to do well, but the question is whether I know enough to accomplish what I desire. The social life which seems to await me has also been a subject of anxious thought. I have a notion that I can regulate that very muob as I desire, and if I can I shall spend very little time in the purely ornamental part of the office. Id point of fact, I will tell you, first Of all others, the policy I iutend to adopt, and that is to make the mat- First Assistant Postmaster General c0lira ge, honesty and ability, to per* Frank Hatton, has been appointed form every function of the Presideu- Postmaster General and inducted tial office as it ought to be perform* their sanctums. Tea, tbe bedridden would have arisen from tbeir couch es to have beheld the peculiar Btreet pageant. The wonderful me nagerie was gotten up very uncere moniously and at little cost.—It did not require great walls of newspa per advertising to get up attraction. It was a free show. It was not a John Roberson nor Davis circus. It was not a Barnum’s Museum. It was not a presidential Torch L ght procession: It was a bigger thing than all these. It was simply a big thing not to be on wheels. Some time ago one of our bailiffs arrested a freedman on Mrs. Franklin’s plan tation. He escaped yesterday morning, tbe officer determined to carry the fugitive ter tbe court of Justice, and arrested him again He was band cuffed with a plough line. Another rope was fastened around the prisoner’s body. The of ficer took one end of his rope, be took me as his "Posse Comitatus.” Put me ou old Nimrod with double barreled shot gun, to guard the rear and prevent any flank move rnent. The procession was formed about this way. The prisoner in front took the centre of the road bed, on his left walked his wife on the right and about five feet behiud walked the bailiff,holding the prison er by one end ot the tether and lead ing his "trick pony” by the other. Between the officer and the prisoner was a little shoi t bodied, spotted curly tailed, one third, mastiff one third possum and the other third catch dog. Behind about 10 pacek iu the rear mouuted ou Nimrod was "1” carrying a double barreled gun, one eye on the prisoner the other on the "dorg.” We moved forward at common time. We needed but one thing to have completed this gyasoutis, and that was a hand or gan. Onward we moved, scarcely a word was spoken for two miles. Whenever a leaf fell, or the least noise was heard to either flank the gentl. man on horseback came to a “present arms.” Everything we chauced to meet gave us the road, aud the spectators on the way view- od us, so long as we were visible. We finally arrived at our dostina lion, which was our district—temple of justice. The judge took bis seat and commanded the prisoner un hitched. A justice court was held the prisoner tried and the gentleman who rode tbe horse, signed tho bond, 1 never saw anything in my born days that looked anything like our parado but one thing and that was breaking a young steer to harness. He might have reared aud pitched but we had him sound and fast. You Bee some of wo boys and some of these Revenue detectives coming up to town before long just this way but who will be the “steer” I can’t say. Randall Franklin Sun Hill, Ga., Oct. 14, 1884. Louisville, Ky., October 16 —Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, the presiden tial candidate, is tbe guest of the southern exposition. She was met by a committee of ladies and escor ted to the Galt house where she re ceived many visitors: Mrs. Lock wood addressed a largo audience at the exposition ter a business engagement between ii tho people of the State and myself, in which the obligation ou my side is to perform tbe dutieB assigned me, with an eye single to tbe interest of my employers. I shall have no idea of re-election or of a^y higher po litical piefermentin my head, but be very thanktul aud happy il I oan servo one term as the people’s Gov ernor. Do you know if mother were alive 1 should feel so much safer? I have always thought that her pray ers had much to do with my success. I shall expect you all to help me in that way. Believe me, your affec tionate brother. Grover Cleveland. The reference to the Governor’s mother is made the moro pathetic by tbe knowledge that her death oc curred but a few weeks previous to the writing of the letter. Who can help foeling that in it Governor Cleveland poured out his whole heart! Wo must remember, also, that his promise has already crys- talizod into performance. Govern or Cleveland has spent very little time in “the purely ornamental part” of his office, he has in very truth made tbe Governorship "a business engagement" between tbe people of the State and himself, and perform ed the duties assigned him "with an eye single” to the interests of his employers, tbe people. Surely he who iu the first moment of bis ele vation to a position of exalted im portance gives his first thought to his mother, and calls her blessed, is a man whom the American people can safely trust. There is in tbe let ter published to-day a alraiu of homely feeling a suggestion of sim ple earnestness and truth, which singles Governor Cleveland out as the mau for tbe time. Is the South Becoming an Ireland. Athens Banner. A well-versed and deep-thinking gentleman, who has made the situ xtiou of the country a study, the other day remarked to us, “Do you know that the south is fast becom ing to the north what Ireland is to tbe English ? Everything of value iu Irelaud is owned by Englishmen, who reside at home and collect tbeir taxes through paid agents, leavini the natives of that oppressed ant down-trodden land nothing but pov erty aud wretchedness. 1 have for years watched with dread and hor ror the same innovation of Yankee capitalists in the south. Nearly all of our railroads, our minerals, our mines, our factories and our public works are now owned and control! ed by aliens, and they are now at tempting to get possession ot even our lands and undeveloped resour ces, and from tbe way farmers are mortgaging their property at an ex tortionate rate of interest in ten years tbe south will be as complete ly under the dominion of northern millionaires as is tbe Emerald Isle beneath the feet of Englishmen.” There is a great deal of troth in the above, and it is time that the E oor and in debt, and to continue u?ine8B there is nothiug left for them to do but to sell or mortgage their property. As a general thing this is true, but no man ever paid a debt by going deeper in. What our southern farmers need is to econo* rnize, and use their brains more and sinews less. They depend too muoh on corn and cotton—the most ex- S iensive crops that can be grown— or support. They should diversi fy th«>r agriculture nnd plant laige- ly of small grain, that is equally as profitable as the above staples and can be grown with less than half the labor. There is no olass of men in Amer ica who live harder than the average southern farmer, or who labors more unceasingly. But they fail to bring to bear the same management as exorcised by the shrewd Yankee. He makes improved machinery and fer tilizers do tbe work of many hands. But the chief drawback to agricul ture in tbe south is that our farmers try to boro with too large an auger for their rneuus, aud must run itt debt to do so. Lot thorn reduce theiy plantations to farms or even patchos, until they have the means ahead to extend the area cultivated, and then they can branch oat with a certainty of success. Just so long as they go beyond their means will debt and bankruptcy be their por tion. With our cheap lands and low-priced labor ; our fertile coun try, oapablo of prodneing almost any crop grown on this continent, and controlling aB we do, the great staple of the world, there is noth ing in the way of southern farmers being the most independent class of people on earth. In their present deplorable condition they have no one to blame but themselves. Our young farmers too, are more extrav agant than they should be. Tfaej want to begin life where their pa rents left off, When a yonng man reaches his majority, instead of pull ing off his coat and going to work to get a start in life, the first invest ment be makes is a fine suit of clothes and a horse find buggy, giv ing bis bone and sinew ns security. So ho not only starts out in life in debt, but these luxuries give enconr- agement to idleness and negleot of business. When he marries and asBumeB ihe responsibility of a fam ily, instead of having something head to help him support them, he is in debt. This iB the true history of the trouble with the south to-day. W e say to onr farmers, sell your land for wbat you can get in cash, and either rent or work snch por tion as is left you, rather than give a mortgage to these northern Shy- looks. No business on earth can stand the interest they charge, and when you place yourself iu their clutches you that day sell yourself und your children into slavery. We have a beautiful and fertile land, and lot us reserve it as a heritage to our posterity and not barter it to the millionaires of tbe north. Bottor had we accept privation tot a few years than to sell oar birthright for a moss ot pottage. Deep Obscurity. Bushuell says: “The tallest saints of God will often bo those who walk in the deepest obscurity.” While with such saints there may be many privations beyond what multitudes of good people are oalled to encoun ter, yet, on the other hand, there may exist with those obscure ones Borne circumstances favorable to the growth of a heavenly mind. There may be bnt a comparatively few of this world’s goods, and, thns the strong temptations so often accom panying riches will be mostly want ing. The glory of the world and love of it will be largely shat off from the mind. Worldly possessions are, for the most part,withheld, while tbero may be sufficient for comfort and to insure contentment; and the absence of more than this will make way for a clearer vision and a larger love oi the treasure laid up in Heav en. Thus, that “deep obscurity’* wherein these favored saints are al lotted to walk may be specially fa vorable to excellent growth in tbs waye of God. They dwell in lowly plaoes and are couvaisant with hum ble associations. The pride of the giddy world is mainly hidden from them; the vanities of life aqfl the pleasures and turmoil of the gay and restless multitudes are in the dis tance, and are neither Bought nor desired. They prefer, rather, to tarry beneath the noise and bustle of the world.
