THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, May 13, 1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
The small-pox has almost reached
an epidemic form at Cave Spring,
Floyd county.
Chattahoochee river steamboat cap
tain J. A. Farley, died at Mariana, Fla.,
Suuday morning.
Mr. F. J. Springer, grocery merchant
and Opera House proprietor of Colum
bus, has started a paper called The
Royal Kitchen. Terms—reading his
advertisements, which is high. We
have heard something lately about too
many papers in Georgia.
Rome Courier: If either of the At
lanta journals is to cover a large scope
of country with its circulation, similar
in extent lo the Courier-Journal, we
think we can spread the Rome Courier
over Cherokee, Georgia, and Albania,
and, perhaps, take in Atlanta. Now,
let F. H. A. give us something about
Cherokee journalism.
The court of arbitrators,convened to
settle the boundary between Virginia
and Maryland, is in session at Wash
ington. Judge Jere. Black was named
by Maryland, Hon. Wm. C. Graham by
\ irginia, and Gov. C. J. Jenkins by the
other two arbitrators. The evidence
is all ready to lay before the board,
and an early day will probably be
named for the arguments of counsel.
The vexed question bids fair to be set
tled this year.
Siuee September Ist, the Columbus
factories and Tallaassee mills have
taken from Columbus 8,413 bales of
cotton—an increase over the last sea
.vui to same time of 1,594. Our manu
factories have thus increased the value
of the raw material $1,201,960, and all
this money remains here for general
circulation.
The Way cross editor of the Valdosta
Time* says that one of the objects held
in view by the party now exploring the
Okeefenokee Swamp is to hunt out and
locate the most available and practi
cable route for the proposed timber
canal, running straight, as will be seen
on the map, from the Alapaha river
through the Okeefenokee Swamp, and
by the north end of Floyd’s Island to
a point on the St. Mary’s river six
miles above Traders’ Hill, a distance of
about sixty miles. It will be seen that
a canal running from the point we have
designated on the Alapaha river will
pretty much follow the same course ef
the small streams mentioned, and will
meet with no obstruction until it
reaches Floyd’s island, and with but
little there.
Athens Georgian : Well, tbs question
was, who represented a majority of the
voters of the 9th District in the Gaines
ville Convention, the Hill delegates or
those supporting Bell ? If the election
of Mr. Hill by about 2,000 majority
does not settle that question, then
we must admit, that the right
of the majority to rule, as guar
anteed unto us by a Republican
form of government, is a mere
political hallucination. In this con
nection, we would call attention to
the false basis of representation adap
ted in our Congressional Convention.
The rule of three and five, or allowing
the counties having one Representa
tive in the Legislature three votes,
and those having two members in the
Legislature five votes in the conven
tion, is altogether unjust, unfair, and
not in accordance with true Demo
cratic principles.
Savannah Advertiser: Contrary to
the general opinion, it will be found
that the shipments of fertilizers from
Savannah have not fallen off from those
of last year. The following compara
tive statement has beon carefully com
piled by Mr. S. A. Goldschmidt, Assist
ant Inspector of Fertilizers with Dr.
A. Means, and may prove of interest:
SHIPMENTS OF FERTILIZERS FROM SAVAN
NAH FROM SEPTEMBER 1 TO MAT 1.
1873-1374. 1874-1875.
Per C. It. It 55,372 763 lbs 56,128,841 lbs.
Per A& G. R.K 7,167,2d.1ba. 7,271,920 lbs.

Tous 32,767 668-2000 32,834 621-2000
Increase 133,958 lbs.
Tons 66 1953-2000
This unexpected increase is due to
the shipments for the month of April,
which were the largest, with one excep
tion, since 1868, and amounted to 11,-
324,267 pounds. In the receipts of fer
tilizers, however, there has been a
marked decrease.

about 1,500 tous were through consign
ments for sale in Alabama.
Atlanta Constitution: Col. Jeff John
son was waylaid and murdered in Chat
tooga county, on Monday evening, to
gether with the boy who was driving
him. He had been on a visit to hjs
family, who were at Summerville, and
was returning to bis home near Cba
toogaville in a buggy, when near Mos
teller’slano, seven miles from Summer
ville, parties supposed to have been in
ambush fired on him. Persons living
near were attracted by the firing and
hastened to the spot. The negro boy who
had been driving Col. Johnson was
first found dead in the road, and a little
further on the body of Col. Johnson was
found riddled with buckshot. Twelve
of these shots were found in his body.
No due to the murderers, excepting
that Col. JoliDsou was one of the party
engaged in the difficulty at Summer
ville recently, in which Lawson -Kirby
killed Levi Abridge, and it is thought
this had something to do with the
killing of Johnson. The negro boy is
supposed to have been killed by the
same shots that killed Johnson, or
may have been shot to prevent his ap
pearing as a witness. The affair has
created intense excitement as it is
feared more killing will result from
this bloody tragedy.
Weather Prophes,es.— While some
of tliu weather prophets are predicting
a hot Summer, a Russian scientist, Dr.
Kopper, of the St. Petersburg Physical
Observatory, claims that In the Sum
mer of 1874 he predicted, after a series
of comprehensive observations taken
in various parts of the globe, that
there was every reason to expect in
1875 a phenomenally cold year. Dr.
Kopper does not mention when and
where the prophecy has been put forth,
and as the same prediction has been
made for a quarter of a century, it
might be reasonably expected to be
fulfilled at some time. The ground
hog, it will be remembered, though not
a scientist, made an accurate specula
tion as to the lateness of this Spring,
having been able to perceive his shad
ow stretched out to a great distance
by the setting sun. Dr. Kopper may
be a wise man, but, if he would give
the data by which to determine the
temperature of a coming year his pre
dictions would appear lees like charla
tanry. —Baltimore Sun.
She used to keep bits of broken china
and crockery piled up in a convenient
corner of the closet, and when asked
her reason for preserving such domes
tic lumber she shot a lurid glance at
her husband, and merely remarked :
'“He knows what them’s for.”
