HON. HENRY. G. TURNER.
Of Brooks.
KUITORIAL BREVITIES.
It ia now said that Hon. J. IT. Blount
will be a candidate for Speaker of the next
house of U. S. Representatives.
This is a white man’s government
and the sooner the negroes find it out
the fewer of them will be hung.
Got. Colquitt haa commuted Ike Ship-
man's punishment to imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life.
Governor-elect Stephens not only
declines to run for the Senatorship, but
endorses Gov. Colquitt as the man most
fitted for the position.
Grant has not passed his hat around
for contributions ia some time. There
is a mystery about this fact that needs
explanation.
Hon. H. G. Turner has concluded his
labors on the stump in the Second Con
gressional district, and is now awaiting the
verdict at the ballot box*
If it should appear that any man has
been elected to a seat ia the Legislature
by bribery or other oorrupt methods,
he should be unseated without hesita
tion—be he Democrat or Piepublican.
The Radicals are expecting to make
up for a part of their losses North, by
a gain'in members of Congress from the
South. Shall one of them be from this
district. Come out, vote, and so help to
prevent it.
A few more judicious hangings like
that which recently ocourred at East
man will teach the negro that he can
uot violate the laws of this State with
impunity
The lumber and turpentine interests
of Georgia are attracting attention all
over the country, and even in Europe
and South America. There are
milllions in these enterprises, which are
yet m their infancy.
The returning of property at its full
value is not as common in Georgia as
it should be. Couldn’t the Legislature
manage to work an improvemqpt in this
particular ?
Northern capitalists hold mortgages
on Georgia farms for $1,000,000 loaned
to needy proprietors. The loans aver
age $100,000 per month. These
Northern capitalists will own many an
wore in Georgia.
Col. P. W. Alexander is writing the
Macon Telegraph some racy letters from
Atlanta. He is alter the “bosses” with a
sharp stick, and is rendering material aid
to oar Macon contemporary in its fight
against Governor Colquitt for the Lnited
States Senate.
Probably the greatest curse of the
Scath to day is the country ‘doggery’ or
bar room, A begin will go almost
naked to obtain rot-gut whiskey. He
is worse than the out-cast- Indian in
that respect. You might as well en
deavor to explain the length of the
comet’s tail to a colored man as to try to
impress upon him the necessity to work
on Saturday. There is another ruiooos
effect derived from these country stores.
They have every dollar that the negro
earns, and a great deal more mortgaged
long before the cotton orop ia a foot
high.
country doing bis duty on the 7th of No
vember. The Republicans are sore and
disgruntled over their disastrous defeat in
Ohio, and will now pat forth tbeir full
strength toretreive their reverses, if it be
possible; while on the other hand they
should be met by the full strengt h of the
Democracy, and if it can only be brought
out. Republicanism will receive a blow it
will not recover from in rears.
Referring to the article in Tax
Democrat of the 19*h ult, about the
great enterprise now in process of de
velopment on Spring Creek, in this
county, by Messrs. Pollys, Lloyd & Co.,
the Camilla Clarion says, of Mr. Lloyd :
“We are acquainted with Mr. Lloyd,
of the above firm, and welcome such en
terprising northern men tffout country
and rejoice at the brightening prospects
of Decatur county. There are millions
in our pine forests. Northern men
know it, but our Southern people are
destroying them in order to raise cotton
to buy northern bacon.”
to "democratic voters .
The ticket presented below is of the
proper form to be voted in the Second
Congressional District, at the Congres
sional election on the 7th of November.
If the voters of any part of the district
have no printed tickets they can write
them out for themselves, if they will
follow exactly the form here presented:
‘ For Representative for the State of
Georgia at large in the 48th Congress
of the United States,
THOMAS HARDEMAN,
OF BIBB COUNTY.
“For Representative in the 48th
Congress of the United States for the
Second Congressional District of Geor
gia :
HENRY G. TURNER,
OF BROOKS COUNTY.
THE LEGISLATURE.
There seems to be no necessity for a
protracted session of the Legislature.
Under the new law passed at the last
session, the judicial elections can be
disposed of in two or three days, and
the Senatorial election need not occupy
a longer time. The number of local
bills, if we may judge by the notices of
the same published in the papers in
the different parts of the State, will be
far less than at any previous session
since the adoption of the constitution
of 1877. This will enable members to
devote the greater part of their time to
general legislation, and to the consid
eration and discussion of matters of pub
lic concern. The people do not want a
protracted session, and wo hope to not
see it.
The Tallahassee Floridian reports that
over one hundred acres of cassava will be
planted in the viciuity of Tavares the com
ing winter. A number of persons in this
xranty propose to engage in the cassava
odustry, and a geutleman familiar with
ita cultivation and the capabilities of ear
lands assert that seventy tons per acre can
be produced in Leon county. The half of
seventy Ions per acre will prove a very
profitable crop.
Who Can Vote-
The question has been frequently asked
us how long a residence ia the State or
county is neccessary to vote. Below we
give the law npon the subject that every
person desiring to vote may do. so intelli
gently and legally:
Every male citizen of the United States,
except as hereinafter provided, twenty-oue
years of age, who shall have resided in
this State one year next preceding the
election and shall have resided six months
in the county in which he offers to vote,
and shall paid all taxes, which since the
adoption of the-Uonstitntion of 1877. have
been required previous to the year in which
he offers to vote, etc.
The exceptions above referred to are:
1st. “Those who have been convicted
in any court of cempetent jurisdiction, of
treasoD.of embezzlement of the public
tunds, malfeasance is office, bribery, or
larceny, or of any crime involving moral
turpitude, punishable by the laws of this
State with imprisonment in the peniten
tiary, unless such person shall have been
pardoned.
2d. Idiots and insane persons.
On the subject of residence, the law is
that the domicii of a person of full age is
the place where his family permanently
resides, and if be has no femilv, then the
place where he shall generally lodge. The
domicil is changed by an actual change of
residence, bnt must be accompanied by an
avowed intention of remaining.
Married men who lived here over six
months, bat whose families live m another
county, cannot vote in this county
Single men -7ho reside here for that time
cannot vote here unless they mvow their
intention of remaining here.
It is now vaguely reported that ths
new code of Georgia, so long talked
about, has at last made its appearance.
A a. yet, however, it has not been fur
nished county officers. For nearly
twelve months the public printer has
been getting or pretending to get this
book oat, and it has been much needed.
Somebody is evidently culpable for this
delay.
POLITICAL NOTICE.
Iu accordance with a resolution by
the Democratic Executive Committee
passed last Saturday, the 28th of October
a meeting of the Democratic Party is
hereby called to assemble in the Court
House in Bainbridge, on December 1st,

ficesat the ensuing January election.

Turpentine Men in Convention-
According to previous notice quite a
number of the turpentine manufacturers
of this section met at this place last Thurs
day for the purpose of arranging matters
for their mutual interest and protection.
Committees were appointed to arrange re
ports for a subsequent meeting, which will
be held at this place on the 9th of next

hope to have a full attendance: in fact, all

Gnano Works.
Mr. Hartman of the firm of Dismukes
& Hartman, guano manufacturers. we met
in the city the other day. He informed
us that several fish beds have been planted
preparatory to reducing them .to fertilzers;
that all neccessary machinery for the erec
tion of commodious works will soon arrive
in the city. This machinery will be put
upin.or near, Apalachicola. Mr. Hart-
n.an is folly acquainted with the manu
facture of fertilizers, and says that, no
place he has visited affords better facilities
for the business than Franklin county.
We are glad to know that this thing is to
be established in the county. It will, be
sides affording employment for many of
our people, help to bring our coumy before
the notice of the people generally. There
are many acres of marl and muck in Frank
lin. and there is enough fish here to sap-
ply everybody with sufficient quantities.—
Apalachicola Tribune.
The artesian well at i'homasville has
reached the depth of 1.100 feet, without,
getting a flow of water. About 1,000 feet
of the distaece has been bored through
rock- Specimens of fossil 6ea-shells are
brought up from the bottom.
