Bellton, ®a., February 10, 1880.
Local prohibition is gaining ground
nil over the State; and the verdict of
all, who have tned it, in that it is
good—very good.
One town in Middle Georgia, a few
years ago notorious for its street rows, I
has adopted the prohibition law. and
now they have no use for police.
The Sparta Ishmaelite is positive,
from the facta developed by the re
cent discnsMon over the Simmons
nomination, that Messrs. Stephens,
Hill and Felton, Georgia Independ
ents, do not represent the true senti
ments of the people of Georgia.
Rev. F. M. Kennedy, D. I)., editor
of the Southern Christian Advocate,
and a prominent citizen of Macon,
died in that city, last Sunday morning
from a stroke of apoplexy. Few men
stood higher in the Methodist minis
try than the deceased. He was about
filly years old.
Newspaper enterprises are tumbling
al) about us. We venture to say that in
every case the failure is because peo
ple are too careless in paying up their
little dues, and tbe great advance of
material added to this, has become
too heavy to carry. We further ven
ture to say that each man in every
community where papers go up, will
lose more than two dollars a year
from their failure.
It has been discovered, says the
New Orleans Democrat, that the
climate of California and Northern
Georgia and Alabama, is just suited
to the cultivation of the cinchona
tree, from which quinine is made,
and it is proposed to introduce the
cultivation of these trees in this coun
try, so as to save it the expense it
incurs every year in sending to South
America for Peruvian bark.

Things political mny be snid to be
mixed when Senator Hill votes with
the Republicans to confirm Radical
appointees for Ohio, mid Messrs. Fel
ton and Speer act in the House with
the Republicans on tbe subject of
riders of appropriation bills. After
all there are but two parties in this
country,-and when a man cannot act ’
with one, he naturally acts with the 1
othe r.—A t Inn la < 'oust i tut ion.
The unemployed workingmen in
San Francisco, Inst Thursday, visited
several large factories mid demanded
the discharge of Chinamen employed
therein, iu accordance with the provi
sions of the now constitution. The
proprietors agreed to consider the
matter. A bill is before the Califor
nia Legislature to enforce the provi
sions referred to. It has passed the
Senate by nn overwhelming majority,
and is expected to pass the House.
It is n remarkable fact that several
men have been frozen to death in
Georgia this winter, and in every
case intoxication was the cause of
their decease. The latest case is re
ported by the Rome Tribune, which
learns that a man named Reuben
Pnrrott was. during the cold spell of
Inst week, frozen to death on the
road between Ludwell and Talking
Rock cotton factory, in Floyd county,
lie went to sleep while drunk, and
never awoke in this world.
In speaking of Hie late Dr. Ixivic
Pierce, the Montgomery Advertiser
says: ‘‘We arc pleased to see that a
monument Is to be erected to the
memory of this distinguished minister
of the Southern Methodist church. He
was a man whom all denominations,
should delight to own. He was a cit
izen of whom Southern society should 1
be proud. He wns a man whom man- *
kind might well delight to honor. He 1
was a true man, a fearless preacher,
a sincere Christian.”
The Portland Standard puts Oregon
down as a doubtful Slate, but says
that Stephen J. Field could carry it,
as well az California and Nevada—
Halt Judge Field was in early days “a
hard working miner;’’ that his record
is clear on every question in which
the Const is interested; that he would
receive a very large non-partisan sup
port, and carry the electoral.votes of
those States to the Democratic side
beyond a peradventure.

SENATOR HILL.
During the last two or three sessions
of Congress, Hon. B. H. Hill has been
distinguished for his aggressive and in
tolerant course towards the Radical
party, and Democrats, however they
have admired his ability and justified
his resentment of wrong, have had
frequent cause to regret that his par
tizan zeal was not tem|>ere<l with a
greater degree of moderation and dis
cretion. Such was his aversion to
Radicalism, that he could let no op
portunity for rebuking it pass unim
proved. Like the Irish bully at Don
nebrook fair, he was on the constant
looking for a scrimmage, and only
wanted Jim Blaine or anv oilier Rad
ical defamer of the South to step on
the tail of his seat. Flouriahiug bis
rhetorical shillalah in the air, when
ever he saw a head he was sure to hit
it. But it appears Hint Mr. Hill is
never long in the same political
humor. Within the few weeks past
he bus made another ‘new departure,’
aud now, instead of defending the
Democracy of Georgia against Radi
cal insult and outrage, he is found
championing the cause of one of their
vilest slanderers, and voting with the
solid Radical minority in the Senate
to confirm the partlzan nominations
of Mr. Hayes for census supervisors
in Ohio. This latest ‘new departure"
of Mr. Hill, so consistent with, his
political record, seems to have dis
agreeably surprised some of our con
temporaries.—Savannah News.
General Daniel Ruggles, of Vir
ginia, at the request of the Senate I
Committee on Agriculture, appeared 1
before them on Thursday and explain
ed his method of precipitating rain
fitlls by scientific means. His method
(for which lie has recently been gran
ted a patent) is to send up to Hie cloud
realm cartridges of dynamite or simi
lar explosive materials in skeleton
baloons. and to explode them either
by time fuses, etc., or by magneto !
electricity through light metalie wire, 1
coniiccting the baloons w ith the earth, i
General Ruggles suggested to the
committee that Congress might pro
vide a small appropriation for expen
diture by the Commissioner of Agri
culture to test the practicability of
aiding the agricultural interests of the
country in this manner.

While in Jefferson, last week, we
had a talk with a number of the
heaviest tax payers, land owners and
leading citizens upon the subject of
i tbe Jefferson and Gainesville Rail
; road. We found everyone of them
i in favor of building the rond, ami that
lat once. We cannot see for the life
lof ns any reason for further delay. It
I seems clear that by pushing the mat
: ter by proper agents and a few public
. meetings, the work could commence
:by the 15th of March. We hope Pre
i sident Candler will call a meeting at
i Jefferson very soon and open the ball
: for a vigorous spring ami summer
; campaign in the building of the road
( Gainesville Southron.
We hope that the. Atlanta Constitu
tion will keep up the tight on the duty
on newspaper until Congress takes
hold of the matter. As it stands, the
newspiper publishers nro the only
.class in the country that are not
beuetitod by the general advance in
i prices. To the contrary they are in
jured. Fiices have advanced on them
and they find it impossible to advance
on subscriptions and advertising rates.
The thirty-five per cent ou paper is a
direct tax on publishers.
TOBACCO CULTURE.
We arc glad to know that Col. Fore
acre is doing all lie can to induce the
people along the Air-Line and others
to come in and go to raising, manu
facturing and shipping tobacco. In a
conversation with him the other day,
he stated tliat no part of Virginia or
Maryland could produce the finer
grades ot tobacco better than this
Piedmont belt: and no industry on the
farm pays better if properly managed.
Col. Foreacre has given the subject
much attention, and can convince any
man that he is right. We hope every
farmer in this section will put out a
small patch of tobacco, and learn, by
reading up and practical experiment,
how to raise and handle it to get the
best results. Seed can be procured by
writing to any seed bouse in .Rich
mond or Danville, Va., or to Balti
more, Md., asking for the best quali
ties and how to plant, it. Mr. O. E.
Mitchell, of this city, will have quite
a number of plants, and perhaps others
will have by the time to put them out
in the field. We hope our people
will take hold of this matter at once.
If they will, they can rely upon a
manufactory being put up in Ibis city
and in full running order by the time
the crop is matured. Don’t wait one
for the other, but pitch right in, if you
don’t raise more than five hundred
plants.
A party of gentlemen will probably
leave here this week to look ifito the
culture and manufacture of tobacco in
Virginia ami North Carolina, with
a view to erecting a factory here, and
getting our people to cultivate this
valuable weed.—Gainesville Southron

Editor Georgian: Owing to a
want of time, I have been unable to
write you concerning my recent trip.
I find in most of the counties through
which I passed, preparations for farm
ing arc going on smoothly, and the
people generally anticipate a good
price for their future cotton crops,
thinking the price will exceed the
present season; and in this I fear
they will he disappointed.
The wheat crops in some places are
looking well.
The political boom is not fairly
opened as yet, though I heard several
prominent gentlemen, in every town
and comity I have visited, speak of
General L. J. Gartrell as being tbe
favorite for Governor; and this seems
to be the universal opinion.
The Congressional race iu our dis
trict will be lively this summer. It
seems to be conceded Hint Mr. Bell
is the man to beat Mr. Speer. Our
“young and ambitious Independent,”
so the papers say, made a powerful
speech in Congress, the otht r day, to
abolish riders from the apptopi iation
bills, which is opposed by the Demo
crats and supported by the Republi
cans. But Ben Hill’s ‘new departure’
is the topic of the day. Ben don’t i
seem to believe in “still slops”—he ;
is all the time doing good dr harm—
generally the latter. More anon.

Wc advise, our readers not to sell
railroad stock* of any kind. Since
you have held them for yeafs and got
but little or no income from them,
now. just at the time when they will
' pay you well in dividends and advance ;
rapidly, you will hear all kinds of ly- ‘
ing schemes by people who wish to
buy your stocks cheap. Now, just
hold one year, even if you have to
borrow money on your stocks, and
you will find wc have given you good
advice. It looks as if tbe (feorgia
Railroad will pay ten per cent divi
, deads in future mid the Central eight.
Now, in proof of what wc say. Nash
ville. Chattanooga ami St. Louis Rail
road stock (Col, Cole's road) was cell
ing a short time ago at 40; it is now
'.ft). Louisville and Nashville Rail
road stock was selling last year at 60;
it is now 140. The boom is on ns. Let
Georgian* hold their railroad slocks
and wait for the new business from
(exports ami imports, and the advance
jin freigiits dial will come from the
I five-year combination and contract.
■ Atlanta Constitution.
An effort is evidently being made to
l prevent the instruction ot the New
York Republican delegates to vote as
a unit for Grant, by bringing the press
ure of the German and other anti-
Grant Republican sentiment to bear
upon the local Grant managers. The
effort will be unsuccessful. Conkling
and Cornell, like Cameron in Penn
sylvania, have gone too far to draw
' back with safety to themselves; they
> must now force tbe issue or practi
ically retire from politics. There is
I but one man who can stop the Grant
. programme, and that person is Grant
j himself—and lie won’t do it. The
’ ex-Presidenl, like Cameron, Conkling
Co., has gone so far that he cannot
i withdraw his name without damag
ing his future. He is in the field, not
in responee to a general call, but as a
sharp competitor animated by a per
sonal ambition—Savannah News.
