NESBITT TO THE FARMERS
THK COMMISSIONER ISSUES HIS
ANNUAL ADDRESS.
Planters Warned Not to Plant Too Big
a Crop Next Year—Plenty or Food
Supplies Bhould Be Put In First.
Speculators Manipulating Prices.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 5. —R. T. Nesbitt,
state commissioner of agriculture, has
Issued bis annual address to the farmers of
tbs state reviewing the crop situation and
advising as to the future. The commis
sioner discusses the cotton crop as follows:
“Let me warn you not to be led into the
mistake of raising too much cotton. Don’t
be tempted to leave the only true plan to
success, that is plenty of food supplies and
then all the cotton you can cultivate with
out having to borrow more than it is worth
to make it. The present condition of the
cotton market is sufficient proof of the un
alterable laws of supply and demand.
OVER PRODUCTION POSSIBLE.
“The theory that we cannot produoe too
much cottou is eutirely exploded hv the ex
periences of 1891 and 1892. In 1891 we pro
duced the biggest crop on record, and the
price fell far below the oost of production,
and many farmers, more especially those
who bought their provisions, are yet strug
gling to pay off the obligations incurred in
making that crop. In 1892 by reason of re
duced acreage and uDpropitious seasons the
yield has fallen below the average, and
now that this fact is established
beyond controversy we see the price bound
ing np in spite of speculative effort to de
press it, and notwithstanding the fact that
we have more money in circulation than
we had one year ago, when there was a
popular theory that scarcity of money and
underconsumption, and not overproduction,
depressed the market and was the cause of
the disastrously low price.
SPECULATORS REAP THE HARVEST.
“Had the majority of farmers, by pur
suing a sound agricultural policy, been able
to bold this year’s crop, that is, the crop of
1892, they would now tie reaping the golden
harvest over which the speculators are re
joicing. It is true that there are farmers
who, by raising bo abundanoe of provi
sions, reducing the cotton area and by care
fdl methods, increasing the yield, while
lessening the oost, are to-day reaping the
benefit from their wise forethought,
but, unfortunately, they are the ex
ception. The bulk of the ootton has
gone out of the bauds of the farmers,
aud they are compelled to see their crop,
the result of much anxious thought and
weary toil, enriching others instead of
themselves. Let me urge you in planning
your crops for 1893 to remember that when
we glut the markets of the world we have
to aooept such prices as the buyer sees fit to
give, but when we have our supplies and a
ootton crop just sufficient to meet the de
mands of trade, we can, to a certain ex
tent, dictate the prloe. Don’t allow your
selves to be allured into false methods by
the present high price of cotton.
ES WARE'S SUPPLY QF TIMBER.
Vtet Forests of BouDd Yellow Pine in
the tipper Part of the County.
Waycross, Ga., Deo. s.—For many
years the saw-mill and naval stores opera
tors have made this section a successful
field for their operations. South Georgia,
tweuty-flve years ago, was almost one vast
forest. About that time naval stores men
from North Carolina came here and started
up extensive turpentine operations. The
farmers were induced to sell their lands.
The prices paid were very small, but satis
fied tbe farmers. They did not then realize
the value of their forests.
It would appear to sny one traveling on
the several lines of railroad branching out
from Wavoross that the supply of yellow
piDe was exhausted. Ware county has
been the bauuer county for naval stores and
lumber industries. In the upper part of
this county are vast foroits of round yellow
fiiue. There are thousands of acres of yel
ow pine timber near Waycross in one solid
body. This forest is said to be the finest iu
South Georgia. South of here there is an
abundant supply of round timber. Some
of this timber is near the railroad, but tbe
owners could not be induced to sell it under
a fabulous price, t'bere is yet an inex
haustible supply of round yellow pine tim
ber in this county.

more votes cast than the number of regis

SOME FAMOUS DUNCES.
Numerous Famous Men Known aa
Such While in school.
From the London Standard.
The youth of high scholastic attainments
who is always carrying off prizes naturally
raises hopes of his subsequent success in a
particular career. Of eourse, the most is
made of him. He is not only a credit to
himself, but to his teaobers. to the latter,
Indeed, he It a practical oer'.ifloate—a "hu
man doouinont” of the ffrat class.
Finally, be leaves school, and It is oonfl
deutly predicted that if be does notaohieve
victory in the battle of life, it can only be
on account of some inoral flaw which has
not yet bad time to declare itself. But the
“dull boy" seldom reoeivea the benefit of
the doubt in auy speculation as to bis
future.
Onoe dubbed ‘‘danco" or reputed "slow,”
and he is allowed to develop in the shade;
emerging from which, be satisfies or sur
prises his fneuds only because nothing was
expected of him. No sue can dispute the
claim of Hir Isaac Newton to a monument
in Westwinter abbey, nor to the praise
conferred by Pope’s well-known epitaph:
Nature, and Nature's laws, lay hid by night;
God said: "lAt Newton be!” and all was light.
Nevertheless the greatest of English phil
osophers das a so-called “dunce” at school.
Sir David Brewster tells us iu his “Life”
that Newton made It tie progress "until one
day the boy who was above him having given
him a severe kick in the stomach from
which be suffered great pain, he labored in
cessantly until ho got above him In the
school, and from that time continued to rise
until ho wa the head hoy."
In the isnie illustrious fane is a monu
ment to auolher lsaao, uot, perhaps, so uni
versally known as his great namesake, but
showing a genius in his maturer years for
which the friends of his youth were by no
moans prepared. Isaac Barrow was not
only au idle and quarrelsome lad, but was
so dull and stupid in bis early years that bis
father onoe remarked to a neighbor that “If
God took away any of hie children he
trusted it would be Isaac, as he feared be
would never be fit for auytbing in the
world.”
But there was evidently something more
than mere animal pugnacity iu young Bar
row. Asa divine he stands aa one of the
great triumvirate of the Church of Eng
laud with Taylor and Hooker. Asa mathe
matician, under the designation of “the
most learned man iu England," bs was ap
pointed master of Trinity Colloge, Cam
bridge.
Asa wit he more than onoe administered
unanswerable verbal chastisement to Lord
Rochester, “the wittiest of the witty.”
It is worth remembering that lsaao Bar
row and Isaac Newton—the "dull boys” of
their respective families—became associated
at Cambridge, where the latter bad Barrow
for his mathematical tutor, and we may
perhaps be allowed to wonder whether these
two men of consummate attainments ever
compared notes on their alleged want of
capacity in childhood.
Not only philosophers and divines, bat
some of the most trenchant satirists and
brilliant humorists were dull enough as
boys. It has been said of Swift in hie best
days that “be displayed either the blasted
lightning of satire or the lambent and
meteorlike oarloatures of frolicsome humor.”
And yet this vigorous disputaut was
deemed a fit subjeot for a fool’s cap at
school. Afterward, at the Dublin Univer
sity, “be was by tcholars esteemed a block
head,’’ who was denied his degree on bis
first, application and obtained it with great
difficulty on the second. Goldsmith’s fame
was grafted upon a boyhood of wholly un
recognized capabilities.
"Never was so dull a boy,” was the report
of the relative who first undertook to teach
him his letter*. At every school we hear of
the “inspired idiot” of the future as a “sby,
thick, awkward boy," the c nstant butt of
his companions, by whom he was thought
to be "little better than a fool.” Johnson
describes Goldsmith as a “plant that flow
ered late,” and eve ,i during the four years
of his college course few signs of genius
were discoverable.
But however late the flower, the root was
there; aud of Goldsmith it may be said in a
special sense that the child was the father
of the man.
Sheridan gave almost no promise tn child
hood of his future brilliancy. Hls mother
pronounced “Richard Brinsley” to be “the
dullest and most helpless of her sons,” aud
he was sent hame from Dr. Whyte’s acade
my with the reputation of being an impene
trable dunce, who wrote "think” for
“thing." But he must have been able to
think a thing or two even iu those days, for
at 26 he had written “The School for Scan
dal,” of which Leigh Hunt observes, “it is
a very concentration and crystallization of
all that is sparkling, clear and oompaot iu
the materials of pure comedy.”
It should, however, be mentioned that a
im ro judicious of the youthful Sheridan’s
preceptors, Samuel Parr, one of the masters
at i arrow, detected the latent spark of h;s
pupil’s genius, aDd aided it by judicious
cultivation. Douglass Jerrold, another and
scarcely levs keen wit of a more modern
school, wrote "Black-eyed Susan” when he
was 21, aud contributed to Punch the im
mensely popular ' ‘Caudle Lectures” not long
afterward.
But at 9 years of age young Jerrold bad
been scarcely able to read, and it was not
until be was appreutioed to a printer, after
serving for some time as a midshipman at
sea, that be showed either desire or oapacity

for intellectual improvement. Literary his-J
tory is, indeed, crowded with instancies of
t rpid and uninteresting boyhood. Gibson
was pronounced "dreadfully dull,” and the
utmost that whs predicted of Hume in his
youth was that “be might poasibly become
a steady merchant.”
Adam Clarke, afterward so deeply skilled
in oriental languages and antiquities, was
pronounced by his father to be a ‘ ‘grievous
dunce;” and of Boileau, who became a
model for Pope, it was said that he was a
youth of little understanding. Dryden was
“a great numskull,” who went through a
course of education at Westmir ster; but
tbe “stimulating properties of Dr. Busby's
classical feruie were thrown away upon the
drone who was to be known as ’glorious
John.’ “
Asa boy Walter Scott gave few indica
tions of his coming greatness, and was de
scribed by one of his early preceptors as
“tbe boy that bad the thickest skull in tbe
school.” Afterward, at Edinburgh Univer
sity, tbe future “Wizard” was thus epit
omized by one of tbe leading profess >rs:
“Dunce he is and dunce he will remain.”
Another noteworthy record is that of Dr.
Chalmers, who was solemnly expelled from
tbe parish school at St. Andrews as an
“incorrigible dunce.” Ludwig, the famous
geometrician, was also sent away from
school after four years’ intellectual struggle
to learn the common rules of arithmetic.
The “marvelous boy” Cbaiterton . who died
at 18, was considered “a dull ouild; incapa
ble of improvement.”
The uncouth attempts of DomeDlehiuo to
master the elemonts of drawing causal bis
fellow students to nickname him “The Ox,”
and the art stio youth of Hogarth was
almost equally unpromising. The same
oontrast ii often found berween the youth
and the maturity of illustrious men of
action.
The celebrated Fabiui Maximus, whose
life was characterized by “greatness of
mind, unalterable courage and invincible
character,” was derisively slvled iu boy
hood “the little sheep.” His slowness and
difficulty in learning were so great that he
was looked upon by all his preceptors as
' ’incorrigbly” stupid.
Jim Howard, tbe philanthropist, was an
other illustrious dunce, “learning nothing
in seven years.” Asa hoy, Napoleon was
esteemed at best a plodder, and, If not
called an absolute dunce, it was only be
cause his teachers hardly knew what to
make of hU rather grim taciturnity and love
of seclusion.
Southey onoe said that “pigs” are brought
up on a wiser system than h j>-s in an ordi
nary school, and the records of enforced
duncery too often justify the proposition.
It is a little surprising to find that the
Duke of Wellington’s mother believed her
“sheep-faoed boy” to be hopelessly deficient
in mental ability; and when, after a short
residence at Eton, he was seut to the mili
tary college at Augors, it was only to’
qualify him “to become food for powder.’
KILLING A 800—POUND BEAK.
Shota Were Futile and a Knife Was
finally Resorted To.
FVom the San Francisco Examiner.
It was near Cook’s Inlet, and a few miles
from Kenal. The party had sailed up the
Inlet to a beaob famous as being a wallow
ing spot for both the black and brown
bears. Blankets were carried asd a oamp
made for the night in the edge of some
timber near the beach in question. Bacon
and moose steaks were fried, and the
suvory scents that were scattered through
the adjacent spruces seemed to attract
wild animals of many kinds. Wolves
could be beard snarling close by, and the
“wouf” of a bear now and then came from
the brush, so near at baud as to make the
hunters reach for their rifles.
At the earliest morning one of the party
was siloing baoon when lie heard a heavy
footfall, and, looking over his shoulder,
saw a big, brown bear coming toward him
and only a few feet away. The hunter
yelled, aud one of the party grabbed a nde
and bogau shooting. The bear was creased
by a ball and started for thesqly enemy iu
sight, the man with the kuife. Two or turee
jumps brought Bruin within distance, and
he tripped the fleeing hunter by a Mow chat
would have broken his baok if delivered at
a little closer range. The hupier jumped to
his feet, knife still in bau<j, aud finding the
open-mouthed "bar” just at hand rushed on
it, cutting and slashing as he went.
The attack was unexpected, and the bear
sat upon its haunolies while it tried to parry
the desperate cuts that the frightened Baa
Franciscan was dealing. Each lucky stroke
opened a bloody gash, but none reached the
* ‘life.” Another of the party stood a few
feet away pouring lead from his Winchester
into the bear at risk to the life of tne man,
but the bullets might have been birdshot
for all the effect the. seemed to have. The
man was tiriug, but srill cut and stabbed
furiously until the bear chanced to raise its
head.
Then a lucky plunge of the knife entered
its point well within the neck of the beast
end split the great artery. The blood poured
in a strong stream and the bear ran away
iu au effort to escape. The buffets and tne
outs bad done their work, however, aud
within a few yards the big cinnamon fell to
its kuees, and after tearing the grass v earth
in its death struggle was still. The knife
wielder was nore the worse for his danger
ous battle,except that his clothing was torn
to shreds and a few deep scratches seamed
his face and neok. The carcass of ihebear,
cleaned and skinned, weighed more than
900 pounds, and the many slits in the hide
showed how eagerly the knife had been used.
A TARPON TUSSLE.
The Fish Escapes From the Angler,
But is Nipped by a Shark.
At Sarasota, Fla.. I hooked a tarpon, says
a writer in the American Angler. It took
me thirty minutes to work him to a sand
fiat alongside of the boat, ready for the gaff.
My boatman, being a mer e boy and this the
first tarpon he saw within bis reach, was
very nervous, aud put the gaff in the fish’s
gills instead of the throat. The fish had its
head toward the stern, aud when he felt the
gaff swung around to the bow. nearly
pulling the boy overboard, getting my line
around the handle of the gaff.
Johnnie pressed the handle on the side of
the boat aud forced the fish’s bead about
two feet out of the water, feeing the peril
ous situation of affairs, I threw my rod in
the boat and foolishly taking snood in one
hand and the gaff in the other, told Johnnie
to take the shark hook, which he had in the
boat, and put it in the fish; nut before this
could be done the fish made a supreme effort
to tree himself throwing the gaff out, break
tug my line and slowly swimming away,
leaviug me with a feeling of disappoint
ment that only a fisherman can appreciate,
and that, too, after having waited four
weeks for a tarpon.
“Johnnie, that fish is badly hurt,” said I,
“we will find him on the bank to-morrow if
a shark doesn’t find him before,” and slow
ly proceeded to put my tackle in shape for
another trial.
“Look at that big shark he is after some
thing white,” exclaimed Johnnie. Sure
enough, a huge shark with his dorsal fin six
Inches out of water met my gaze. "Take
up the anchor and we will see what’s the
trouble," said I. Stracgo to say, when we
reached the spot the shark moved slowly
away and we found our tarpon on bis aide,
still alive, minus bis tail and a large piece
from hie back, oitten out by the shark. We
boated and took him home and be meas

pounds in hie mutilated shape.

A THUNDER B’ORM AT GRIFFIN,
Considerable Dimage Done to tbe
Electric L ght Plant.
Griffin, Ga., Deo. s.—At an early hour
last night Griffin was visited by a fearful
thunder and rain storm. Tbe lightning
flashes were the most blinding ever wit
nessed, while the display resembled more
that of a fancy pyroteebnio display than
anything ever witnessed here. For several
seconds after each flash fiery sparkles
lingered along the track of the zigzag
illumination of tbe b.ack clouds like the
sparks emanating from a meteoric shower.
These [lashes were grand, but they were
