“Mr. President and Gentlemen
of the Convention: I need not
say how profoundly grateful I feel
for this mark of the confidence
and esteem of the democratic

know no reason why I should pe
the recipient of such an honor, ex
cept the fact that it may be known
an 1 thought that I have faithfully
endeavored! o discharge every trust

great issue before the people of
the state to be contested in county
elections, it will not be necessary
to revert to any swell questions.
No man could regret more than I
(lie necessity which at this time
of the year imposes upon the poo-‘
pie of Georgia the duty of select
ing a governor. It is under the
providence of God upon us and I
have been selected by your vote
as the candidate for the vacant
office. The past history of the
state for ten or twelve years is
full of subjects for congratulation.
The state is in the advance in pro
gress. Georgia having passed
through the storm ot revolution
and the storm of reconstruction^
having suffered all the evils that
civil war and political imsgovem-
ment could ifieet upon her has
been by those who preceded us
restored to some part of her old
time prosperity. The good work
is going on and is to go on. What
has been begun in the past only
enables us to accomplish more in
the future. Having restored the
creditoi the state by the wise
! -gislaf ion under the admistratioiig
of Governor Smith, carried for
ward by the administrations of
Governor Colquitt, Governor Ste
phens and Governor Boynton, it
now remains for us to stillimprove
upon our finance by paving off
the public debts as fast as the re-
, j sources of the people will permit
without hurting them. This can
be accomplished by carrying out
successfully the measures of eeon
omy and retrenchment that have
been steadily in operation all
these years. We may hope that,
the affairs of the state will still
be administered with thaprudenee
economy and devotion to the pub
lic service that has characterized
the legislation of the past ten
years, and the administration of
the democratic government within
that time. I shall endeavor so
far as is in my power to profit by
their good examples, and to reaf
the lull benefit of the measures
which they have inspired and ap
proved, and to carry them in to
execution in the spirit of the leg
islation which adopted them. In
tlxis I may confidently rely upon
the legislature of the state. lu
all that I have said I have taken
it for granted that the voice of the
convention of the democratic party
of Georgia will be ratified by the
democratic voters of the state. It
is not too much to hope nor to as
sume that such will be the case.
Thanking you again, gentlemen of
the convention, for the distinguish
ed honor you have conferred upon
ujg and especially for the manner
A Bold Robbery.
Thcmasril'e Enterprise.
Sunday night some enterprising
burglar successfully burglarized
the safe of Mr. James Anderson, of
Ochlockonee, and carried off about
$1,700 of that gentleman’s money.
He must have been an expert
villain, and this was evidently not
his first experience in the safe-rob
bing line. He cut two holes in the
safe just below the lock, and then
with a hammer succeeded in
knocking loose the combination,
after which the rest of his task
was easy. He helped himself to
the money at his leisure and
made his escape.
On Monday two tramps, sus
picious looking characters, were
seen in the neighborhood, and
Sheriff Hurst started after them to
ascertain if they might not be
the guilty parties. He overhauled
and examined them thoroughly
but not finding any money on
their person, nor anything to im
plicate them in the robbery, let
them go. Every effort will be
made to detect the criminal and it
is hoped he will be caught. Mr.
Anderson’s loss is quite a serious
one, for $1,700 is a heap of money,
especially at this ti me of the year.
It bears specially heavily upon
him too, as we learn that he had
recently sold out all his property
in Florida, where he formerly re
sided, With the intenion of moving
to Texas. The sum he lost repre
sented that property, and he had
deposited it temporarily with his
South Georgia’s Prospects.
Thomasville Enterprise.
This a subject upon H hich one
interested in tiiis portion of the
State can never tire of writing, for
it is a subject which seems to de
velop itself more and more to
the mind, the more and more that
it is considered. The prospects of
South Georgia are truly wonder
fully-bright, and it is a source of
capital doubt if our own people
have ever yet fully grasped their
possibilities.
In the first place there is the.
truck farming industry, which has
taken such a prodigious leap for
ward in the past few years. Here
we have a genial clime and kindly
soil, well adapted to the produc
tion of early fruits and vegetables,
and a season fully a month in ad
vance of the North and West—
thereby providing a market which
cannot ho overstocked, and en
suring the highest prices for our
productions, This fact is begin
ning to make itself realized by
our farmers and land owners, and
year by year the industry is ex
panding, and is certainly destined
to become a source of vast wealth
to our people.
Then, there comes our naval
stores production. Here is an
industry steadily and rapidly de
veloping, and becoming each year
more and more one of t he main
factors of the wealth of the world.

New Use of Rosiu.
Wilmington N. C. Dispatch.
A new danger to the pines from
a very recent discover}’ of the
possibilities of rosing No longer
will it be made the butt ot jokes
respecting its use for fiddles and
lager beer barrels, for it has been
proved that it can be made to
yield a very rich lubricating oil.
It is cheaper than linseed, and
combined with that oil, it is said,
it makes the best lubricator in the
market. Experiments are being
constantly made, and now it is
refined into there grades, the third
yielding a drab-colored oil that is
beginning to win high favor in the
market. The lowest grade is sold
to a Philadelphia firm that, by a
secret, process, converts it into
the best axle grease. This devel
opment of the value of rosin is
comparatively recent, and is meet
ing with such success that it
stimulates the production of tur
pentine and rosin to the great
danger of a speedy exhaustion ot
the supply. There is a chance for
a fortune for somebody in con
nection with this production of
rosin oil. The man who can dis
cover a process of deodorizing it
may, if he can keep his process
secret or patent the machinery, re
tire from business in a short time
with all he wants to live on.

Ghosts Abroad.
Some week or two ago we pub
lished au account of the annual
mass meeting of the spirits in Rose
Hill Cemetery, at Macon, as wit
nessed and described by a citizen
of that city. Since then we have
saen accounts in the papers of an
other fellow who saw a terrible
ghost, and now comes the Walton
News, who says that a citizen of
his county met the dbvil in the
road, and after some animated
conversation, in which Satan at
tended to persuade the poor mor
tal to abandon liis faith and follow
him, the man dropped upon his
knees and prayed to the Lord for
help, when the devil tied, and a

remarks.
ap-
It is foolish to strive with what
we cannot avoid; we are born sub
jects, and to obey God is perfect
liberty: he that does this shall be
free, safe and quiet: all his actions
shall succeed to his wishes.
A
lasting. As the forests to the
North of us, which have been
worked for generations past., give
signs of poverty and exhaustion,
the eyes ot the capitalists must
naturally turn towards us, and a
mine of wealth may reasonally be
anticipated from this source alone
Nor is this by any means all or
the least important matter to be
considered in connection with
these two South Georgia indus
tries that we have mentioned. It
is a most important and satisfae
tory truth that they will furnish
money at the season which ha
for ages past been looked upon by
our people with dread—the Ion
dull summer. The result will be
that with a judicious culture of
cotton—producing the great sta
ple only in such quantities that it
may be easily managed and han
dled—our people wili be able to
make shipments and receive cash
lor their products every month in
the year; and summer dullness is
doomed to be a U^ing of. the past.
Money will be circulated lively at
all seasons, the wheels of trade
and business will be kept moving
as actively in July as December
and nnbroken activity will be the
rule. If besides, our farmers will
make their own corn and provi
sions, as they can easily -do, and
utilize their natural advantages
as'they should, there seems to be
absolutely nothing to prevent
them from becoming the happiest
and most independent people in
the country.
But, of course, soil, climate and
favorable seasons would amount
to nothing as the means cf wealth
if transportation facilities were
lacking, and here in this immedi
ate belt we are specially blessed
in this respect Already after
traversing the land for the short
distance' of 200 miles by rail we
strike the Ocean, and then enjoy
water connection with the entire
world. But this is not half of
what is in store for ns. With the
completion of the Thomastrille,
and Gulf Road two years hence,
we will enjoy transportation facili
ties unrivalled besides having
opeifed up to us a market of im
measurable extent. Then we will
be able to ship one way to Savan
nah., there to meet the ocean, and
another to the Gulf, from whence
we can send our products by
water all the way up the (Mis
sissippi river and its tributaries
would get home safe. The whis
key in those localities must be
producing V bad effect, and we
would advise those fellows to
abandon its too free use, at least
until their nerves regair a healthy j ( C the cities of the Great West,
tone j and also to the West Indies and
that vast sketch country with its
thousands of consumers and pur
chases to the South. What this
means for the future of this section
surpasses the efforts of the wildest
imagination.
To sum up then: With our
vegetables and fruits bringing us
money every month in the year;
with our naval stores pouring
wealth into our laps in summer;
with our cotton giving money in
the winter; with unexcelled trans
portation facilities placing us in
easy access to all quarters of the
world, and with our abilities to
provide at home for the farm and
household, it does seem as if we
were the most favored people on
the globe. A full appreciation of
the blessings vouchsafed them,
added to the exercise of judge
ment, industry and thrift are all
that is necessary to make us be
come the garden spot of the State
of Georgia, if not of the Union.
GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.
Household Hints.
Kerosene will soften boots or
shoes hardened by water, and
render them as pliable as when
new.
Starch makes a better paste
to use in papering walls than
flour, and is less expensive also;
a little will go so much further.
The livers of chickens or
turkeys are nice fried with a few
thin slices of bacon. Out the liver
and bacon very thin; season with
pepper and salt. This is a good
breakfast dish.
When it is desirable to filter
water quickly, for immediite use,
employ the following method
Put a quart of clean water over
tlie fire and just bring it to a boil;
remove it and strain it three or four
times through flannel; cool it and
keep it for use in a covered jar
or pitcher.
A holder is a necessary article,
and catches much of any old dirt
about the stove. Make them of
any old pieces of woolen. Then
make a cover of some dark ma
terial. Cut a piece fifteen inches
long and six wide, fold over six
inches and sew in form of a ba ;
the end of the remaining three
inches together, to make a point,
fold that over and button to the
bag, add a loop at the corner,
and put in you holder. When
the cover is soiled it can easily
be removed and washed.
Stale but perfectly sweet home
made bread can be disposed of in
this way: Soak it in milk or
water till soft, then mix it with
your sponge. Squeeze the milk
or water from it before adding to
the sponge; its presence will
never be nreceived in the new
bread. A somewhat similar econo
roy can be practiced in regard to
buckwheat cakes; take those that
are left at breakfast, break them
in small pieces and put them in
the fresh batter; they will soon be
completely assimilated, and the
cakes will be even better for hav
ing them in the batter; they will
be of a more decided brown, and
have a smoother surface.
Site Thought She Was a Good Christian.
A hater of tobacco asked an old
negro woman, the fumes of whose
pipe were annoying him, if she
was a Christian. “Do you believe
in the Bible?” “Yes, brudder.”
“Do you know that there is a pas
sage in tlie Scriptures which says
that nothing unclean shall inherit
the Kingdom of Heaven ?” “Yes,
I’ve heard it.” “l r es, I’ve heard
it.” “Well, Chloe, you smoke;
and you cannot enter the King
dom of Heaven because there is
nothing so unclean as the breath
of the smoker. What d*«you say
to that?” “Why, I ’spects to leave
my breff behind me when I go
dar.
When Watkinsville was the
county site of Clarke county years
ago a bottle of brandy was laid
away in an in side wall of the
court-house. Sixty years have
made it necessary to tear down the
old building, but it finds the
brandy all the better on account
of its age. The county officials of
Oconee now Lave cause to smack
their lips.
Few cities in the union, cer
tainly no city in the South, pos
sesses a record of such phenom
ebnl growth as does Birmingham
Ala., Twelve years ago, where
now stands a prosperous, well
built city of 12,000 inhabitants,
not a solitary house was to been,
the nearest evidence of civiliza
tion existing two miles from the
present site of Birmingham in the
little village of Elyton.
One recent morning Ivate
Slocum, a pretty Florida girl,
stood at the door of her fathers
house watching the risng sun just
peeping above the treetops;
Paddy, the gardener, came
whistling along the road at that
moment, and as he was passing
Kate a cloud for a moment ob
scured the orb of day. “Sure”
said Pat, with a bow and a smile
as lie lifted Ins hat, “whin the sun
beyant caught sight of your eyes
he was jealous and ashamed and
hid himself away. “Did any gal
lant ever say a prettier thing?”
Speaking of cotton manufac
turing in the South the Cincinnati
Times-Star well says : “The cot
ton manufacturers of New Eng
land, who have been asking the
trunk lines for lower rates of trans
portation on raw material, evi
dently begin to feel tlie effect of
Southern competition alreadv,
and fear they will soon lose heav
ily in the Western and South
western markets. The South
gains customers for her cotton
goods; and her mills are turning
out not only the coarser and
cheaper qualities of sheetings and
shirtings, but some fabrics of as
fine a grade as New England can
supply. The quantity is as yet
comparatively small’ of course, for
the manufacture is in. its infancy
in the cottoq States. Its develop
ment, however, has been remark
ably rapid during the past few
years, and at the present time
there is evidence that the growth
of this industry is imprece den
ted.”

Jay Gould has returned to New
York from his Southern trip, and
the Sun says “he wants to take
hold of New Orleans, Brunswick,
Savannah and Norfolk as seaboard
outlets for his Southwest™ system.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad, which runs to
those ports, connects at Memphis
with a branch road of Gould’s
known as the Memphis and Little
Rock railroad, which is a part of
the Iron mountain, and, conse
quently of the Missouri Pacific
system. The East Tennesse,
Virginia and Georgia line is
controlled by the George I. Senev
syndicate, and a combination
beivween it and Jay Gould is to be
the grand card in the development
of the South. In these details
he does not intend to take any
active interest, leaving tho
concentrtion part of the scheme
in the hands of the Seney syn
dicate, which proved so successful
in building the Nickel-Plate road.
By the time he returns lrom his
trip abroad the construction will
be completed, and he will begin,
fresh anil reinvigorated, the work
ing out of his new Southern
scheme. With the constantly
increasing compel ion of the grand
roads that terminate in Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, with
the development of the Mississippi
freight tariff, and with this new
scheme of a great Southwestern
highway to the ocan, the outlook
of the old trunk lines like the
New York Central and the Erie
does not appear to be ‘ very
encouraging.”
