A Cougrcmlonal Fighter.
General Willism C. Oattv, of A’s-
bttua, is probably the m<4tt m ‘*:n;ficctit
of eoDgroNtootl fight****. His | lock
and etdurauce were thoroughly tested
in the fight over tho direct tax r* fund
ing bill. Tho General was born in
Alabama fifty-three jears ago. He
was a poor child and is self educated.
He served in the Confederate army
daring the war, was wounded four
rimes, and finally lost an arm ia his
twenty-seventh battle. He b a lawyer
by profession. The general made his
first appearance in politics as a delegate
to the national convention which nomi
nated Horatio Seymour for the presi
dency. After serving two terms in the
Alabama Legislature he ran for gover
nor of that state and was defeated. In
the same year he ran for Congress and
suffered a defeat. In 1875 he was
the chairman of the judiciary commit
tee of the Alabama constitutional con
vention. He has served in Congress
eight yen, and was re-elected last fall.
Oates represents what is known as the
Eufaula district. He is a well knit
gentleman, with keen eyes, & florid face,
and gray hair and mustache. He look
ed sometbiog like John Swioton. His
empty s!ceve swings at bis side. He
writes readily with bit left hand. The
general drrs?es in black, and wears flit
gold stu b and a gold watch chain
bearing the insignia of a royal arch
Mason. His fight over the direct tt»x
refunding bill began last winter. It
was based on purely constitutional
grounds.
O-ttes and his little army, however,
stood like Leondias at the pass of
Thermopy’ae. General Weaver, of
Iowa, and young Breckinridge, of Ar
kansas, acted as his lieutenants. They
began to fillibu9ter. and finally threw
the house into a deadlock. This lasted
for nearly a week... The scenes of the
all-night sessions a soke the whole
country. The deadlock was at last
broken by the action of a Democratic
caucus. Oates had originally asked
for only six hour's debate. The cau
cus recommended the postponement of
the question until after tho presidential
election and gave three days for dLcus-
sion. The proposition was gladly ac
ccptcd by the majority.
The threo day's fight began on Dec.
6. It was a battle of giants. The
general displayed superhuman energy.
His arguments were convincing, and
his facts ucrasfailable. Men like Ran
dall, Baoon, of New York, Buckalew,
Borneo, Pat Collins, Sunset Qt>*,
French, Lawler, Marsh, McAdoo,
Russell, of Massachusetts, Spinola and

Nlorm'it Tobacco Colony. "
Among the steerage passengers by
the French st axsbip La Champagne
that arrived yesterday from Harrp,
were 11C ALaiians with their families,
inking 13G in oil, who are detained'at
Castle Garden by r.id-r of Commission-
Stephenson, who was advised from
France that these men had come un
der contract to work on Straiten and
8torm's tobacco plantation at Tallahas-
!, Florid*.
George Storm lives at 602 Madison
nne. His partner, Mr. Straiton,
retired from the firm some time ago,
leaving Mr. Storm the sole proprietor.
‘Two years sgo,” said Mr. Storm
last night, “the governor cf Florida
and a number of resident* there, came
ae snd asked me to interest myself
the re-establishment of tobacco
growing in that state. Before the
war Florida tobacco sold for a price
equal to that from Cubs, and the in
dustry was an important one in the
central part of the state. During the
war the industry was dropped.and after
ward the land was let out on shares to
negroer, who raised long fibre cotton
until that no longer paid, and then the
region became almost deserted. I or
ganized a company in which I took a
majority of stock, imported seed from
Cuba %od Sumatra and lent money to
such growers as seemed the most
i-killful and industrious to pa‘ up suita
ble curing houses. I also gave them
seed. Tna result has been that while
the whole tobacc > product e f the State
two years ago ciuld have been bought
for $1,000, lasty^ar it was worth $255-
000, and it bids fair to amount to
$1,000,000 this year.
I discovered, however, that the
greatest obstacle to progress lay in the
lack of skilled and steady laborers. All
the old tobacco-raising negroes were
gone. I am an Alsatian, My people
are being oppressed by the Prussian
government. In that country, around
Strausburg, arc many skillful tobacco
growers. I resolved to try an experi
ment and pay for it with my own
money. I bought the old Dupont
Qniocy, on the line of the
Florida lliilwayand Navigation Com
pany’s line, and prepared it after my
own ideas. Agricultural people io
Als toe live io the villages. The place
contains abont 2,000 acres, ond it is
about eight miles around it. I laid out
circular road and built a town hall,
which is school bou-e, public hall, and
meeting hoqsc in one, and forty-three
houses along ihi* road, and divided the
od into trac*s of forty acres. Each
house ii furnished with a cook stove,
bedstead*, and ether furniture, and
every farm is supplied with a cow,
horses and wagopi, and agricultural
tflaphiflery. I call the place Alsace.
“A year ago thirty-five wsn, women
and children came from near Strashorg
my place. The Prussian govern
ment put obstacles'll! the way of their
emigration, as they have done ia the
way of those who are now detained in
Castle Garden, but they got to Florida.
is their success which has induced
the last lot to come, and more are on
their way. The village pnoi^eeper has
so^«l his hotel and is coming, and a
minister is n his way to join the
oolony.
“This country has been very good
me, and I have grown rich and
am too much of an American to do
aught to violate the laws or to tying
here people whp make good
pitifety, While these people were
getting ready to come, traps were
laid for roe by the Prussian officials-

but I refused, I have not paid one

What I propose to do is to establish
them on my nlace 43 independent
' rmers, pent free for five years, and
they prosper others^ay take their
place. Why do I do'-this? Because
it suits roe to span* my money
that way.
“The only shadow of truth” he
said, “in the accusit/on that they are
assisted is that I told them to buy
tickets only to New York. Some of
them understood, J am tftld, that I
— tp pay their passage to Florida-
is not true. They will be ta
ken there free of charge by the rail
road people. It is not true that my
brother has anything to do with get
ting them here. I have no brother

ter the plantation.”—
§omp of the party, Mr. Storm
says, have money, and will probably
buy places for themselves. None of
them will work for wages. Thjp man
who told the commissioners be was
to get wages, Mr. Storm says, has
probably been engaged by one pf
these to build a house- He is cajpen-

The Constitution pays the following
tribute to S*vannah’s new Mayoi:
“The fact that Savannah is in the
United States of America has recently
caused a great sensation in that vicini
ty. The first families of the place
bare had their attention called to it io
a very startling way, 'John Schwarz,
a baker, has been elected mayor, and
there is supposed to be quite a flatter
in society. 'The flutter is natural
enough, perhaps, but Schwarz is there.
During the campaign he went around
town peddling his bread and ringing
his bell as usual, and the little bare
footed girl who didn't have a niekle
got just as much of John Schwarz’s
bread as the well clothed child with
money in her purse. You will think,
perhaps, that John was electioneering,
but it is not so. He has been going
this way—peddling his bread to the
rich and giving it away to the poor—
for a good many years, and if this sort
of thing is in the natnro of polities it
is a pity that some of the professional
ones don't indulge iu suoh a costly
game."
Savannah has had a number of may
ors and a great many good ones, but
?few of them have ever known the
ftnall want* cf the people of the
town as John Schwarz does, and he
will fi 1 the effice with credit. It must
be a sad tbiog, of course, that a bread
peddler should be elected mayor of a
city composed almost exclusively of
first families and society, but we have
no doubt it will turn out to be a good
thing. Schwarz has no higher ambi
tion than to look out for the well-being
of his fellow-citizens, and he will fill
the mayor's ehair with credit to him
self and his townsmen."
The “blue bloods" of that (xclusive
city rubbed their eyes in wonder, no
doubt, when they woke up the morning
after the election and found a baker
elected Mayor. Mr. Schwarz will
doubtless makes good Mayor.
The Experimental Farm.
Section six of the act creating an
experiment station and an experi
mental farm, to be known as -The
Georgia Experiment Station,” sets
forth the specific object of the station,
as follows:
“The specific object ol the said
Georgia Experiment Station shall be
to determine the capacity of new
plants for acclimation; the manurial
value of fertilizers and composts,
making aoil tests, and testing the
purity aud vitality of seeds; examin
ing grasses and other plants; investi
gating the growth, requirement and
value of different crops; studying the
economic production ol milk and
butter, and of conducting such other
tests and making such other investi
gations and experiments in the field
as are suggested in an act of the fed
eral congress, approyed March 2,
1887, entitled an Act to Establish an
Agricultuial Experiment Station, etc.,
as may bear upon questions con
nected with either the science or the
practice of agriculture.”
In every detail ot the object set
forth in the section above quoted,
the'pre-anrinent adaptation of our soil
and climate to successful experiment,
will be obvious to any one at all
acquainted with the county in which
we live. So far as fitness is con
cerned, the argument for Floyd county
before set forth fn these columns
unanswerable find complete, and
die committee who will act upon this
matter will doubtless present that
argument in full.
For the rest, it is business like and
reasonable to realize that we have
powerful competition for this high
prize of agriculture. Macon puts
forth the chum that she is the center
of the state, and offers liberal finan
cial inducement*. Athens will urge
that the station is alieady located
there, that it is in successful opera
tion, and that its buildings and equip-
ment are unsurpassed. If Floyd
wants it, we must resolve to bid (o;
clearly, definitely! $nd strongly.
Agamst the advantages held by
Macon and Athens we balance the
one fact that Floyd county has Felix
Corput to represent her claims.
If anything is to be done, let it be
done promptly and with vigor.—Trib-
une of Rome.
If Thomasville is looking in that
direction it is time she was waking
up.

■pectfve Presiding Elders among the
various stations and circuits in the dis
tricts, according to supposed ability.
As the districts are very unequal in
members and resources, no just com*
parison can be made by taking abso
lute amounts, but only by proportion
and percentage. The objects reveal
mr e than Ibe collections. I
first give the deficits on salsries ot
pastors and presiding elders, totalizing
the payments on several districts—eight
io all. The Savannah district was de
ficient 4i per cent, on salaries, making
$688; the Macon deficit was 81 per
oent., leaving $1,279 unpaid; the Co
lumbus district deficit was 3 per cent,
or $368; the Thomasville district deficit
was 1! per ceat. or $238—a very small
amount over the entire field. Americas
district was deficient 9 per cent., or
$353; the Waycross district deficit
was 131 per oent., or $1,381; the
Brunswick district deficit was 81 per
cent., or $860; the Sandersville dis
trict deficit was 4} per cent or $1,130.
In regard to payments for various
benevolent enterprises fostered by con.
ference the exhibit is the best I have
ever known. These are too numerous
to be con3idered in detail. I give only
missions, superannated preachers and
Bbhops support, and ohurch extension.
On these assessments the districts paid
the following per oentage:
Savannah District paid 69 per cent
of its assessments, the Macon District
paid nearly 82 per oet., the Columbus
District paid nearly 72 per oent., the
Thomasville District paid nearly
93 per oent., the Americas District
paid nearly 81 per cent. The other
districts are omitted from this calcula
tion, as they are missionary fields.
The advance in those sections has been
very great, even extraordinary.
The entire amount assessed for Ihese
five objects (cxolusive of salaries) was
831,900, the amount paid was 77 per
cent. The Thomasville District ap
pearing ahead olear through, I con
gratulate our people and urge them to
hold tho banner. This district was
the only one that paid in full the for
eign missionary assessments—one as
sessment was overpaid by $22, while
the strongest district in Conference paid
only 56 per cent, of this claim.

The Constitution published the
article from the Dramatic News, New
York, assailing Thomasville. In
yesterday's Constitution we find the
following:
The New York Dramatic News
and Sporting Age has played Thom-
asville a vicious trick. A short time
ago the proprietor of the opera house
in Thomasville refused to admit the
correspondent of the Dramatic News
to the theater. The Dramatic News
then wrote, threatening to writ 1 an
article that would hurt .Thomasville
in the theatrical business. Mr. Reed
replied that when he wanted them to
run his business he would let them
know. The News then said, “Look
out for Thomasville. There has not
been a $30 house any day m two
years. \Wiat the bunco-steerer is to
commerce Thomasville is to the
theatrical life.”
Mr. Reed submits the following
figures, which he iay* the managers
will make affidavit to:
(Here the Constitution prints the
figures we gave some days ago,
showing an average of nearly $300
for every show here this season.)
i‘Thi* shows the Dramatic News in
i very contemptible light. Their
local correspondent has quit them,
andjhey ought to have the reproba
tion of every decent theater in Amer
ica. It is a very low order of black
mailing.” m
Died,
At 12:26 p. m., Sunday, the 27th

The deceased was born on the 3ht
of March, 1819. 8he was formerly
Miss Hanaah L. McIntyre, a sister of
Col. A. T. McIntyre. She was the
mother of three children, Margaret,
Lawson, and Mrs. Ed Remington, only
the latter surviving her. Fifty years
ago, along half century, the deceased
joined the Methodist church, and du
ring these long years, while scrupulous
ly and conscientiously fulfilling the du
ties of wife and mother, abe has follow
ed the path of obristian duty, never
torniog to the right nor the left, but
always with her face turned toward the
heavenly city.
While poasemiog great strength of
character she was gentle, loving and
yieldiog, wfcere no sacrifice of principle
was involved.
Verily a good woman has gone
her reward. Tho funeral took place
from the residence of Mr. McIntyre,
at 3 o'clock this afternoon, conducted
by the Rev. J. H. Herbeoer, the in

and friends followed the remains to

F.r I hr Flrot Time
For the first time in the history ot
Thomnsrille she had an opportunity,
last Friday of listening to a first
class opera. And the citizens showed
their appreciation ol the event by
turning out in goodly numbers, not
withstanding the inclement charac
ter ot the evening- It was noticea
ble that good delegations were pres
ent from neighboring towns, and that
visitors from tbe hotels and boaiding
houses filled a gred share, of the
house. We lankly confess oar ina
bility to properly criticise operatic
music. There are trills and note!
which reach beyond tbe ken of ama-
tuer reporters. Ot can hardly be
said that Campanini sustained bis
old-time reputation. Aad yet be bas
a wonderful tenor voice, stroog,
wooing at times, and tboroaghly cul
tivated. It was apparent that he was
suffering bom a cold. In lad this
oplanatioo or apology was made
bom tHe stage by Mr. Thompson.
Tbe piano music by Frol Martaac
was faultlessly executed.

flakes all tbe tame, were eddying aad
