DICK YOW
Writes of Arizona and Tells of
What he Sees.
The following pleasant letter has
been received from Mr. R. D. Yow,
who, with his wife is spending the
winter in Arizona ;
Phoenix, Ariz., Feby. 21, 1S9S.
—I have been here a little over one
month, the climate is certainly fine,
the first two weeks were a little
cold, and one day it rained slowly
all day not much more than mist,
since then it has been real warm,
about 84 in the shade, though the
nights are cool. There has been
no frost or ice since the first week I
got here.
This town is located in Salt Riv¬
er valley, and is almost entirely sur¬
rounded by mountains. The most
of the land is very rich. The soil
is from 2 to 16 feet deep. Nothing
grows here without irrigation un¬
less it be a little brush. Trees,
grass, and everything else must be
watered. Water is gotton out of
Salt River about 30 miles above
here. The county is full of canals
and ditches,—that is there are no
small ditches when the land is not
cultivated; there is not one-fifth of
the land in cultivation, but as much
as can be watered well. Sometimes
the water gives out, especially if
the winter has been warm and left
little snow in the mountains to melt
and run into the rivers as warm
weather comes. There is no growth
on the wild lands except sage brush
and cacti. The principal field crops
are barley, wheat and alfalfa
grass. They dont know anything
about bushels here, it is all by the
hundred. They make 1500 to 1800
pounds of wheat per acre; about
five tons alfalfa hay, which is worth
now $5 per ton ; it is a little higher
than usual; oranges, lemons, apri¬
cots and peaches and the smaller
fruits except apples grow here.
Cattle, horses and sheep are raised
in abundance. There is an ostrich
farm near here; land is worth from
$35 to $50 per acre, owing to the
location, etc. People here look
upon 40 acres as a large farm. I
have seen several parties here who
said they made a good living off
ten to fifteen acres.
Irrigation cost from $1.25 to $2
50 per acre, owing to amount
water used. The most of the wood
that is used here is hauled from 12
to 30 miles; it is mesquite, and
grows about the size of a peach
tree where it is not trimmed. It
brings $4 per cord. People use
very little except to cook with, and
to warm rooms in cold weather,
they have very small stoves. Two
little fires a day is all that is need¬
ed and rarely but one. A great
many people live in tents the year
round.
And many tourist who come here
to spend the winter buy tents and
set out two or three miles from town
and stay all winter. If I had three
or four men or boys to stay with
me I would prefer it myself. Every
thing in the way of board is high.
A little room 14x14 furnished will
cost $15 per month without board.
I expect to be back in Georgia
by the 15th of April.
Yours Truly,
R. D. Yow.

BUSHWHACKERS
The Candidate Is Having an Experience
With Them.
STORY OF TOM HIGHT LETTER
It Was a Pledge of Earnest Support
from the Writer.
Atlanta Constitution
Considerable publicity is being
£ iv en to a letter writen some days
a £° by Colonel Allen D. Candler
to a man named Tom Hight, of Au-
gusta, the letter itself being print¬
ed along with the information that
Hight is a notorious negro political
heeler of the city. No efforts have
ever been made, apparently, to as
certain under what circumstance?
the letter was written, it seems to
have been the desire of those who
are promoting it as a campaign
document to do Colonel Candler
harm. The real facts in the case,
however, are likely to do much
more harm to these energetic pro-
motors than to Colonel Candler.
The facts are these :
In the mass of mail matter which
is delivered daily to the colonel
there appeared a week or so ago
the following communication, writ¬
ten in a business hand upon the
lerter heading of a business man in
Augusta:
“Augusta, Ga., February 15.
1898—Hon. A. D. Candler—Deai
Sir: I take this opportunity to
address you and assure you of my
hearty support during the coming
campaign. I have been an ardent
supporter of Governor Atkinson in
his past campaigns, and have been
enabled to call many friends to the
support of any one whose cause I
espouse. I think I may be able to
give the support of my followers to
you in this, your fight for the gov¬
ernorship. I have in the neighbor¬
hood of two hundred in a club I
have organized and I can give the
entire support of this number to you
should you so desire. Respectfully,
Thomas Hight, not Broad street,
Augusta, Ga.”
THE colonel’s RESPONSE.
In replying to his heavy mail
Colonel Candler is kept about half
of the time, and he is so puncti¬
lious in the matter of his corres¬
pondence that every letter is ac¬
knowledged. There.was nothing
in the Hight epistle out of the or¬
dinary, for the colonel receives a
bushel of more letters of a similar
character every day, and he an¬
swered it with no more
that an attempt was being made to
bushwhack him than either Judge
Atkinson or Senator Berner would
have had under the same circum¬
stances. And this is what he
wrote iu reply :
Atlanta, Ga., February 18, 1898
—Thomas Hight, Augusta, Ga.—
My Dear Sir: I beg to thank you
for your esteemed favor of the 15th
instant, received today. You are
my sort of a democrat. You don’t
wear a cap unless it fits you. Some
very clever gentlemen in yorcity, I
am told, took offense at what I said
in the Meyerhardt letter. This is a
source of great regret to me,because
there is not a syllable in that letter
intended or calculated to give of¬
fense to any one. It was simply a
warning against impure methods
which were said to have been prac¬
ticed in some of the counties in for¬
mer campaigns, and not a syllable
was intended to apply to any hon¬
est democrat not matter whom he
supported in the past, provided
only he employed in his support
clean and honest methods.
“I would have been an ingrate or
an idiot to have wilfully offered
affront to the tens of thousands of
ardent supporters of Governor At
kinson who are now giving me a
zealous support. I thank you sin¬
cerely for your assurance that you
will bring your following in the
city of Augusta to my support in
the coming primary. Do all you
can in my interest. Confer with
my Carroll, frinds, Wash, Barnes,Fogarty,
etc., and co-operate with
them, and when it is in my power
to reciprocate the kindness either
to you or your friends, be sure it
will be my earnest desire to do so.
With kind regards, I am, sincerely
yours, A. D. Candler.
THE SCHEME EXPOSED.
Immediately after the letter
reached Augusta The Daily Herald,
of that city, which opposes Colonel
Candler for governor, printed it in
glaring type on the front page.
They did not print the Hight letter
to expose the trap that had been set,
but they went on to describe Iiight
as a negro politician, and to draw-
unfavorable references of their own.
The Atlanta Journal has since
copied the article, but it, also, neg¬
lected to publish the original com¬
munication that had invited it, the
publication being all sufficient to
throw a search light into the camp
of the bushwhackers who had put
up the job. The desire seemed to
be to get up another anti-Candler
howl on the lines of Meyerhardt
affair.
But even before the news of what
was going on reached Colonel Can¬
dler, the bottem had fallen
out of the scheme. Most of the
newspapers that saw it first prompt¬
ly denounced it as an open piece of
rascality, without even waiting to
get the other end of the corresond-
ence. Among these newspapers
were those who oppose Candler as
well as those who support him.
The Macon Telegraph and The
Augusta Chronicle taking almost
equally vigorous stands in repudia¬
ting what they recognized on the
surface to be a piece of political
highway enterprise. In this city
the friends of both Judge Atkinson
and Senator Berner said they had
ieard of the letter, but that they
wanted to 6ay most emphatically
that such campaign methods were
not and would never be counte-
nanced by them,
may be a boomerang.
The Candler people were inclined
to be angry in earnest when they
saw that a bona fide effort was on
foot to spread the outrageous false¬
hood, but it soon became apparent
that the lie was too transparent to
deceive anybody. In fact,Jit looked
last night very much as thought it
would prove a boomerang. The
colonel was not very much disturb¬
ed by it, but he did not attempt to
conceal his opinions of those who
had tried to put up the contempti¬
ble scheme. He said last night:
“Yes, I have seen the use which
has been made of the Hight corres¬
pondence, and of it I have only this
to say : I have made it a rule all
my life to answer every courteous
communication addressed to me,
whether it be from a millionaire or
a pauper. I received from Augus¬
ta a letter signed by Thomas Iiight
offering me his hearty support,stat¬
ing that he had been an active
worker for the democratic cause. I
replyed to the letter just as I would
to any courteous communication,
and my reply speaks for itself. Not
being a bushwhacker myself, I am
constantly on the lookout for those
who enjoy this kind of business;
but I would not hesitate to write a
courteous letter even to a bush
whacker.
“I am a man who has always had
great faith in the honesty of the
human race, and it is my principle
in life to deal openly with every
man who approaches me in an hon¬
orable and courteous way. I have
never posed as an expert politician,
but I can be in politics and be a
gentleman at the same time, and it
would be exceedingly distasteful to
me to put myself in an attitude
suspicion toward every man who
writes me what appears to be an
honest letter tendering me his sup¬
port. Of course I thought that
the Hight letter came from a loyal
democrat, and that it was a sincere
expression of good will. It appears
not, but I am willing to submit the
whole matter to an honest public
and accept its judgement. If those
who are responsible for the affair
can stand it, I certainly can.”
