The South Georgia Fair.
The fifth annual exhibition of the
South Georgia Agricultural and Me
chanical Association was so well at
tended by our people last week, and !
has since been so fully written up by j
the press of this section of the State
that wo shall not attempt to give our;
readers anything like an account of j
what wc saw during the two days that j
wo wero there. All that we desire to
say, therefore, is, that wo belong to
that class of attendants who have no ,
hesitancy in pronouncing it the
grandest success in the way of an ag- j
ricultural fair that has over been
: chioved by the people of any other
section of Georgia.
As an agricultural fair it was far su
perior to tho one held by the State
Agricultural Society at Macon tho
week before, the quantity of farm pro
ducts and home-made articles, such
as come into every day use, being
much greater, and of better quality.
The Grangers added n great deal
to the success of the Fair, and the
display made by them alone was
i worth going to see. Whilst in the
j exhibition hall of tho Boston Grange
iwe tried to think of something that
wo had over seen growing in South
ern Georgia of which we could not
find a sample, but we utterly failed,
and found many things that we bad
never seen or heard of before. In
this hall alone we saw a greater va
riety of farm products, vegetables,
homespun goods, clothing, bed quilts,
jellies, preserves, fruits, etc., than we
saw at the State Fair all put together.
Perhaps it is none of our business,
and we may be a poor judge of what
it takes to mako “the best agricultu
ral display,” but we are of the opin
ion that Boston Grange was entitled 1
to tho premium.
These annual exhibitions of our
country’s productions are stimulating
to our farmers, and the good results
that naturally follow can readily bo
seen as they increase each year, and
we trust that the spirit of rivalry
which seems to have arisen between
the different Granges and communi
ties will not die, but increase until the j
results of energy and skill, when ap
plied to the fertile lands of Southern
Georgia fully domonstrats what we
verily believe: that ours is “the gar
den spot of earth.”
The Baby Show on Saturday was
one of the most interesting features
of the Tkomasville Fair. Nineteen
entries were made, and the first pre
mium—a SIOO Singer sewing machine
—was awarded to Miss Florida
Auettc Davis, age fifteen months and
tlie progeny of Mr. L. G. Davis, of
Thomas county. Then Capt. John
Deppish, of the firm of Palmer &
Deppish; Mr. J. Putnam, represent
ing the carpet house of E. Schwarz, of
Savannah, and Mr. W. E. Barnes, of
Quitman, each presented a handsome
present to Master Brandon M. Hall,
age seven months, weight twenty
three pounds, and the cherub of Mr.
T. A. Hall, of this paper.
To each of these gentlemen above
mentioned we desire to say, in behalf
of Mr. Hall and bis lady, that the
handsome tokens of admiration of
which Master Brandon was the unex
pected recipient, are highly apprecia
ted, and that thoy shall be made life
time mementoes of the esteemed do
nors.
Thanksgiving Proclaination.
Washington, Oct. 27.—1n accord
ance with a practice at once wise and
beautiful, we have been accustomed,
as the year is drawing to a close, to
devote an occasion to humble ex
pression of our thanks to Almighty
God for the ceaseless and distin
guished benefits bestowed upon us
as a nation, and for his mercies and
protection during the closing year.
Amid the rich and free enjoyment of
all our advantages, we should not
forget the source from whence they
aro derived, and tho extent of our ob
ligations to the Father of all mercies.
We have full reason to renew our
thanks to Almighty God for his
favors bestowed upon us during the
past year. By His continuing mer
cy, civil and religious liberty have
been maintained, peace has reigned
within our borders, labor and enter
prise have produced their merited re
wards aud to His watchful providence
we are in indebtedness for security,
from pestileuco and other national
calamity. Apart from national bless
ing each individual among us has oc
casion to thoughtfully recall and de
voutly recognize the favors and pro
tection which Ho Las enjoyed us.
Therefore I, U. S. Grant, President
of tho United States, do recommend
that on Thursday, tho 25th day of
November the people of tho United
States abstaining from all secular
pursuits, and from tlieir accustomed
avocations, do assemble in their re
spective places of worship, and in
such form as nmy seem most appro
priate in their own hearts, offer to
Almighty God their acknowledg
ments and thanks for all his mercies,
and tlieir hhmblo prayers for a con
tinuance of his divine favor.
In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused tlie
seal of the United States to be affixed.

The Original Moody.
A Strange Chapter from the brent Itovi- j
vulist’s Earlier History.
[Now Yolk Special to tho Chicago Times.]
It seems that the great revivalist,
Moody, was not always the good man
he is at present, but his virtue is now
all the more deserving of praise, as
from what now comes to light once
upon a time Mr. Moody seems to have
overcome tho worst of human onrses,
that of drunkonness. The story goes,
and it appears to bo corroborated by
those who saw him at the time, that
twelve years ago Mr. Moody was a
driver on tho line of tho Jersey City
and Bergen horse Ruilrood, but that
after serving there a short time his
continual inebriety was finally tho
cause of his being discharged. Ho
was known by car conductors aloug
the line for the almost helpless condi
tion he would get, in at times and the
habitually boozy nature of his life.
A reporter called to-day at the sta
bles of the company to ascertain what
facts there were in this singular story
of the regeneration of the great evan
gelical religionists. The superintend
ent of the company is not the same as
ho who acted at the time of the alleg
ed moral terpitude of Moody, but if
lie were the same there would not be
much probability of liis remembering
one name or one face among the
thousands who have passed before
him in the meauwnilo.
The assistant said ho had heard the
subject spoken of among the conduc
tors and drivers, and some of them
had talked of a picture of the present
Mr. Moody being identical with that
of the man who was employed on the
line and discharged for inebriety.
In the conversation the name of a
man named Garney, an old driver on
the road, from whom the story seems
to have sprung, was several times
mentioned. This man was subsequent
ly found. He alledges that twelve
years ago lie was a driver on this line
and that Moody was there also. Ho
could not mistake him. It was the
same face and beard, and tho same
stout body. He remembered, also,
that Moody came from Connecticut.
It was during the winter of 1763 that
he knew him, and he remembered it,
because R was so cold that Moody
used to ™ continually complaining of
freezing, and used to drink to keep
himsef warm. Liquor had a wonder
ful effect upon him and affected him
immediately, so that he became as
drunk as if struck by lightning.
He used to say he had never drank
any before, but that it was impossible
to resist under the circumstances.
He used to get so that he would have 1
to leave the car and would sit down
in the stables and go to sleep. Ho
was ivarnod several times and seemed
very penitent; but he would fall into
the same ways again, until he got
discharged. Gurney believed that he
was taken back once and discharged
again, but he is not certain of this ;
but that it was James Moody, who is
now the great evangelist. Garney is
certain. He remembered that after
he left the company, Moody loafed
around the place, perhaps hoping to
get back, and then suddenly niude up
his mind to go West. He' tTTd so,
and drifted to Chicago, where he be
came a hotel porter.
Garney remembers that when Mr.
Moody would be under the influence
of liquor ho would become very talka
tive and religious and deplore his
manner of life. Ho used to get peo
ple around him who would listen and
laugh at what was then only the elo
quence of drink.
However extraordinary this story
may appear, it seems to be implicitly
believed by those who work and live
around the locality of Bergen Hill.
No written record is kept of the dri
vers, so that it is impossible to get at
this kind of proof, but those on the
line at the time are certain of these
facts, and they are given for what
they are worth.
The Crops iu Georgia.
report of the state agricultural
department.
Atlanta, October 29.—The report
of the Georgia State Department of
Agriculture up to the 15th instant
shows an estimated yield, as compared
with last year, of corn 80 and of cot
ton 73 per cent. Estimated acreage,
compared with last year, of wheat
sowed and to sow this fall, 112; of
oats, 145. Eighty-three per cent, of
the correspondents of the Depart
ment report cotton picking better ad
vanced than last year, aud 03 per
cent, report it saved in good condi
tion. The average cost of raising a
bushel of corn in Georgia is reported
at 58 cents, aud of oats 29 cents, and
a pound of cotton 11 cents. The av
erage cost of raising a horse or mule
to three yeai's old is reported to be
sixty dollars. The number annually
raised is reported to be 6,033, and
$3,100,000 were expended this year in
buying horses and mules brought
into the State. Ninety-one per cent,
of the correspondents report an in
crease in stock hogs, and forty-seven
per cent, report a full supply of pork
raised at Ninety-six per cent,
report that cottbn cannot be raised at
a profit at the present prices on
bought farm supplies, while eighty
four per cent, say it can be raised at
a profit at present prices if all supplies
are raised on the farm. Twenty
eight gin houses wero burned by in
cendiary fires, and fifteen by acci
dental fires in the State in the past
twelve months, involving a loss of
over $70,000. Tho negroes are re
ported in debt to farmers and mer
chants for supplies advanced last year
and carried over to this year, $1,465,-
700.
MOODY PROPOSES A DAY OF FASTING.
New York, November I.—Moody
proposed November 4th to be ap
pointed as a day of fasting and prayer
for God’s blessing. Carried by a
standing vote. Three thousand peo
ple unanimously resolved to unite all
the churches in America iuto observ
ing the day.
Tho Ttvo-Tliinl Rule.
[From tho Albany Nows.]
The Griffin News and Messenger bus
its say about the “two-thirds rule,”
and in opposing with vehemence and
virulence a return to the majority
rule, gets off this remarkable hyper
bole:
“Wo wanf.no deviation from the old,
well-tried nlid successful rules. The
pure, patriotic Jeffersonian principles
which animated tho breasts and con
trolled the actions of our noble ances
tors, are such as aroused the admira
tion of the world and made our coun
try the best government ever known.”
If brother Brown will study tho
history of tho “ two-thirds rule,’’ ho
will find that it is not a “Jeffersonian
principle," and that it did not “ ani
mate the breasts and control the ac
tions of our noble ancestors.” It was
a fraud in the beginning, and is per
petuated to defeat tho will of tho
people.
The rule was a wily trick, adopted
to kill off Martin-Van Buren in the
National Democratic Convention in
1844, who Was a prominent candidate
for the nomination for a second term.
The trick succeeded, and- a second
rate man, in tho person of James K.
Polk, was the unobjectionable com
promise nominee that made Henry
Clay exclaim, “ beat again, by God !”
The rule was never mentioned in
any previous Convention, and would
not then except for Van Buren’s freo
soil proclivities.
In 1848 the precedent was adhered
to, and so disturbed the harmony of
the party as to enable “Old WkiUsley”
to get away with Mr. Cass,
In 1852 it turned up the obscure
and harmless citizen of New Hamp
shire, setting aside tho long tried,
meritorious und ablest men of the
party.
In 1856 it gave us the impotent,
imbecile old bachelor Buchanan.
And in 18G0, at Charleston, it dis
integrated the party, put two Demo
cratic candidates in the field, elected
Lincoln and brought on the war.
After the war, in 18G8, it was ex
humed from the debris of a nation’s
ruin and forced Mr. Seymour upon
the party, and again in 1872 over
threw us with Horace Greeley as its
ill-starred offspring.
The truth is the rule is not and
ought never to be the recognized cus
tom or policy of the party.
It is simply a fungus, and has ac
complished good, perhaps, only in the
single instance of developing Joe
Brown in 1857.
The writer was in the gubernatorial
convention of December, 1871, and a
member of the committee on rules
and business. The gifted and la
mented Garnett MeMillen urged the
two-thirds rule, but the committee re
ported in favor of the majority rule
by a vote of 10 to 4.
Mr. MeMillen opposed the adoption
of the majority report before the con
vention in an able and eloquent
speech. We made the only speech in
reply, in which we gave the history
and evil effects of the rule. The vote
of the convention was 131 for majori
ty and 38 for two-thirds.
The convention that nominated
Gov. Smith in July, 1872, again ig
nored the monstrous absurdity, and
nominated by acclamation.
With such a record can any well
meaning Democrat insist upon its per
petuation. It was begotten in iniqui
ty, and has lived on the prostitution
of honor and the debauchery of tho
party. Let it sleep in the grave
wherein we interred it in 1871.
Hard Story on Kelly. —“ Halifax”
writes as follows from Atlanta to the
Chronicle and Sentinel, concerning
Kelly’s visit to that city in 18G7:
When Mr. Kelly was here, after he
had made his speech, several gentle
men called upon him at his hotel.
He received them graciously, as if he
wero a person of consideration and
they his peasant tenantry. One of
them extended an invitation to go
visit him socially. Ho straightened
himself up to the utmost of his
pigmy height, elevated his voice, put
on a lofty, swaggering air, and with
disgusting pomposity replied as fol
lows: “No, you must excuse me. I
resolved before leaving home that I
would stop nowhere save at the hotel,
j and I have adhered to this resolution
|so far, except on one occasion. When
I was in New Orleans and addressed
the people, there was a large number
of colored people present. After I
was through with my address a num
ber of these colored people came for
ward and were introduced to me.
Many of them were intelligent, well
dressed and educated; some of the
colored ladies were quadroons, with
handsome features, elegantly attired,
well educated, and conversed fluently.
They were mostly of French extrac
tion and bringing up, but spoke Eng
lish very well, with just enough French
accent to give their language a charm.
Their hair was smooth, wavy and
glossy, and their bare arms and
shoulders plump and luscious. One
of the colored gentlemen asked me if
I would be offended if a colored man
should ask mo to go to his house and
dine with him. I told him I certainly
should not be offended, and he then
very politely, but modestly, invited
me to his house, in which his wife,
who was present, joined with appro
priate language and deportment. I
accepted the invitation and went with
them. I found they lived in a very
elegant house, richly furnished with
costly carpets and furniture, and hand
some hooks and pictures. Their table
was beautiful and supplied with every
luxury. I never saw a more elegant
table in a private family, and never
saw anybody preside at dinner with
more accomplished dignity, politeness
and genuine hospitality. I was well
entertained and never enjoyed a visit
moro than on this occasion. It is the
only instance in which I have accept
ed an invitation to visit a private fam
ily, though I have had hundreds of
them from the best people in the
South. No; you must excuse me on
this occasion.
