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.

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. L.

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 in which it has been conferred, 1; w j*ite angel stood by hint*, who w ask you to relieve me from l0 g 0 r ight on, and he [Great further plause.] 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.” Professional Cards.

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.” I will bo glad !o rrcoive tho ra/’-ois all Who have property io t'-.'l c- rei collecting to make.
