Editor Advcrtiacr and Appeal;
This is indood a sorrowful day for
the American pcoplo. At thirty-fire
minntes past ten o'clock lost night the
spirit of James A. Qarfiohl, President
of tho United States, took its flight to
God who gare it, and to-day a nation
mourns her dead.

great ufitiction that has como upon
tho Nation, are manifest in tho faces
of tho pooplo.
Not yet sevon months ago Presi
dent Garfield wus inaugurated as tho
nation's chiof ruler, and during tho
short time bo was permitted to fill tho
Presidential chair, bo endeared bim-
solf to every lover of justice and good
government in this broad land, and
the ovidcnccs were many showing that
his administration would bo one of
tbo best if not the best tbo country
had ever known. His knowledge of
public affairs, his broad views and his
large oxporienco as a law-maker fitted
him ns nono of his predecessors had
boon fitted to fill the high position to
which ho was callod, with wisdom aud
intelligence.
The nomination of President Gar
field was a victory of moderation and
conBcrva'.ion over faction and section
alism, and his nomination and subso-
quont election raudo him tho instru
ment in God’s hands to bring about
that which has boon so ardently
longed for by all lovers of oitr coun
try—tho bringing togothcr of thoiico-
plo whom war had made separate.
Gnitcan's bullet meant more than
the doath of n singlo individual—by
shedding of blood tho North and
Wftjrrrom UrporW.
I came to Waycross on the lltb ex
pecting to meet you in a convention,
which, to my disappointment, has,
understand, been postponed to some
future day, and intending to ask your
permission to address yon upon tho
land pooliug and immigration schemo;
thus giving an opportunity fur dig
cushion, und answering objections, if
any, as satisfactorily as possiblo.
Having lost that opportunity,
havo determined to say, through the
columns of tbo lleporicr, soma of the
things I would have said could I have
met you and obtained your permis
sion to address yon.
You are representatives of tho larg
est single bnsinoss and largest amount
of activo capital in Southern Georgia;
you own largo bodies of land which
you have strip]ied of timber; yon are
continneiug your beneficent work of
dovasla on, with wondorfnl rapidity;
you are increasing the capacity of
your mills; orocting new ones; adding
to your facilities for procurement of
lumber from long distances; you will
havo oxhunsted the supplies of mer
chantable timber in twenty-five
years; you ore rapidly adding to the
already large area of lands stripped of
timber of which you are proprietors.
I lake it for granted, therefore tlmt
yon will not bo indifforout to any
scheme proposed by which to give
vnluo to these lands stripped of tim
ber, by which to replace the business
you are now prosecuting, whon yon
have exhausted the supply of jtiaiber.
That sagacious business mon who havo
built up a vast business, and nro fast
becoming heavy landed proprietors of
lauds originally purchased solely for
thoir :.mber, aud valueless after tho
timber is cut oft unless scttlod and
mado available for agricultural pur
poses, havo already thonght for yonr-
solvos over tho problem, "What shall
wo do with those lauds ?"
It iB a problem which cannot lie
solved by individual effort. It might
well engage the earnest efforts of tho
ablest Statesmen of our State. A prob
lem which self interest calls upon yon
to solve.
For six months the railroad compa
nies havo presented through tho col
umns of tho li'ynrh'r a schemo having
for its sole object the settlement of
those lands and thuir resulting iu-
croaso in value. The response has
not boon encouraging You havo

If yonr lands are in the scheme you
will havo a hearty interest in its suc
cess. No immigration scheme can
succeed without hearty co-operation
of the business men and general pop*
elation in tho section where it is
sought to be introduced. The only
way to insure that co-operation is by
making it your interest to co-operate.
lint I desiro to present another and
cogonl reason why you should furor
this immigration schomo—why you
should give it your active support to
the extent asked. Your business is
increasing in volume and profit with
the growth and prosperity of tho
country. Yon ore even* now con
fronted with a problem which will
grow more* imperative in its demand
for solution yonr after year, rnd it is
the labor problem. Even now coro-
pluints are made, not only in your
business but in tbe naval slorea and
agricultural interests, of a scarcity of
lal>or upon which yon can rely. The
building of tho Waycross and Jack
sonvillo road, only seventy-four miles
long, attracted many laborers from
the mills and naval store stills on our
Hues of road. That was but the com
mencement of the railroad boom.—
Col. Cole is now building 81) miles
from Macon to Atlanta and a tnoro
difficult line still to Rome. The 8.,
F. A W, is preparing for important
extensions. Erlanger syndicate will
probably soon commence extensions
of their groat system to tho Bruns
wick ami Albany roads. Branch
lines ns /coders nro contemplated by
all these systems of roads. Tho bns-
iness of all onr towns is boomiug and
attracting labor from tho country.—
The druin will incrcaso as tho montliH
go bv nh f til the problem which now
cuuhcs unensinoss will in a few years
have to bo met. Why not prepare for
it now ? Why not induce along our
lines of road intelligent labor and fas
ten it thero by offering good homes
to bona fide Bottlers, to foroign immi
grants, to nuy and all of tho right
cluss who can bo induced to come.
Pardon ine for tho length of these
remarks, for their earnestness. I
know most of yon. I havo no doubt
that if you had 1/oen here on tho 11th
you would havo given me. a patient
and courteous hearing. May I ask
tlmt you will rend this carefully ? It
is written amid tho hurry and rush of
busmens. Is it too much to hope
that you will suggest through tho AV-
jtorh r, or to me personally ut Bruns
wick, such things as you think will
add to tbe effectiveness of the scheme
that you will lend it your aid in ev
ert* way in your power ?

It if a matter of discussion at this
time what Congress will do for Mrs.
Garfield. In this case tbe act passed
in relation toMrrffclary Lincoln,whose
husband was also assassinatrd while
President, is of interest. Thero were
three acts of the kind paused by Con
gress. The first act passed when
Congress camo together after the as
sassination of President Lincoln was
as follows: “That tho Secretary of tbo
Treasury pay out of any money in tho
Troosnry not otherwise appropri
ated, to Mrs. Mary Lincoln, widow of
Abraham Lincoln, Into President of
the United States, or in tbo event of
her death, before payment, tho snra of
twenty-five thousand dollars; provid-
always that any snm of money which
shall have been paid to the personal
representatives of the said Abraham
Lincoln since his doath, on account of
his salary ns President of the United
Htntcs for tho enrrent yenr shall be
deducted from the said smn of twen
ty-five thousand dollars.'’ Tho amount
thus granted to Mrs. Lincoln was the
salary of tho President for one yonr.
Now that salary is $50,000. In Feb
ruary, 18GG, Congress passed the fol
lowing act : “That nil letters and pack
ets carried by post to and from Mary
Lincoln, widow of tho late Abraham
Liucoln, be carriod free of poBtago du
ring her natural life." In 1870 tho
following act was passed: “That the
Secretary of the Interior be and here

Mary Lincoln, widow of Abrulmm
Lincoln, deceased, late President of
the United States, on the ponsion roll,
und allow and pay her a pen Rich at
tho rate of $3,000 per annum from and
after tho passage of this act.
