EDITORIAL NOTES.
—Mr. President Arthur was in
Savannah last Week.
—Comptroller General Wright
says that the $200 tax the sewing
machine agents have to pay was
due on April 1st.
—Col. Hoge is blaking the At
lanta Evening Journal a cracking
good paper.. lie is what you
might call a solid editor.
—The Georgia Press Associa
tion meets in Athens on the 9th
proximo. The liest set of boys in
all creation compose the G. P. A.
—It is getting|narrowed down
to a certainty that the B. C. & C.
R. R. will be built. It will be the
best paying road in the South
when completed.
— Senator Brown lias gone on a
bum to Colorado. It is said that
your Uncle Joe didn’t like the
nomination of McDaniel and has
gone west to cool oil’.
—“Governor McDaniel” is the
way it now reads. Within the
last six months Georgia has had
Gov. Colquitt, Gov. Stephens, Gov.
Boynton, and Governor-elect Mc
Daniel.
—There is to be a grand picnic
at Clifton's Mills, Miller county,
on the 5th of May. A pic nic
over there means an affair of great
or proportion than an old fashion
ed barbecue.
—It is easy now-a-days to make
a Governor of Georgia. The
Democratic party just sends a few
delegates to Atlanta who meet in
convention, name the man and the
thing is done.
—The present season lias not
been good for vegetables and
melons in this section, but never
theless South Georgia will come
up with a big supply for the mar
kets.
—Mrs. Nellie Sheppard, the
daughter of ex-Gov. Hubbard, of
Connecticut who married her
father’s coachman several years
ago, has been divorced from her
husband.
—The railroad from Thomasville
to Tallahassee is now a fixed fact.
Thomasville is bound to be the At
lanta of Southwestern Georgia
and don’t you lorget. it; and John
Triplett is feeling good all over.
—The Atlanta Eevening Star is
what you might call a mirror of
typographic excellence. And its
editorial conduct is equal to the
best. 'The Star is a very bright
and particular constellation in the
journalistic heavens, so to speak.
—The recent Baptist State Con
vention took strong grounds in
favor of prohibiting the of liquor
in Georgia. The day is not far
distant when red liquor will b e
remembered as a thing of the
pa6t ‘in this grand old State.
—The democrat who failed,
through indifference, to cast his
vote for the Hon. Henry D. Mc
Daniel on last Tuesday may be
regarded as a weak brother, and
deserves to he so treated in the
future.
—A. R. Lamar and Marcellus
Thornton have settled their little
misunderstanding without a resort
to the code duello. This is well,
and the boys should he more care
ful of the way they sling ink
in the future.
—In civilized and enlightened
Massachusetts, when a negro goes
to the alms-house and dies, they
tan his skin—that is to say they
put it into a vat and make leather
oat of it. This beats any “rebel
outrage” we ever heard of.
The postal cards are raad,e at
Holyoke, Mass., by forty men,
who turn out about a million a day
They have diminished the con
sumption of writing paper from
$12,000,000 to $15,000,000 a year.
—An exciting'railroad race will
soon take place in Florida As the
laW now stands, the first road that
is Luilt to Tampa wi il get the lands
granted, and at least five different
managers are making preparations
to come in ahead.'
—It is said that the'Jnew road
of the S. F. <fc W. from'Climax to
Chattahoochee,’is undoubtedly the
best ever'built in the*South, We
propose to take a run over it he
fore very long. *
—There were just fifty promi
nent Georgians in Atlanta on the
10th, 11th and 12th of the month
who really expected lightning
to strike them. The dark-horse
is not so popular now-a-days.
—Mr. Frederick Douglass, the
greatest and most accomplished
colored man in the United States,
says that the only hope for the
negro is .amalgamation with the
white race. If this proposition be
true, then there is no hope at all
for the ttegro.
—“A'ntan who will heat a news
paper publisher out of his two
dollar a year subscription, for
which he has'to pay over a dollar
fn cash and work like a dog for the
balance of it, is two riiean to live
on anything but dead rats, bed
bugs and cotton worms, until his
breath smells so had that he
would not he allowed by'a friend
ly bull dog to sleep in a tan yard.
—Gainesville Southron.
—We call upon the authorities
of the Savannah, Florida & West
ern railroad, to give Bainbridge
two trains a day to and from Cli
max; connecting east and west
with trains for Savannah and New
Orleans. Don’t forget us in this
matter, Col. Haines.
—Gresham, the new Post
master General, does not intend
carrying out the contract made
by the Radical bosses with such
Southern turn-coats as Billy Ma-
hone and Gen Chalmers. Both
of these worthies have been wont
to control the federal patronage in
their respective states, Virginia
and Mississippi, but Gresham
seems to have put a stop to it, for
the present, at least. Gresham is
certainly a new and orgimal ele
ment at Radical headquarters, and
we wish him a strong back-hone
and plenty of success.
—Among other recommenda
tions of the Grand-Jury of Sumter
county we find the following: We
recommend that steps be taken
to have a chain gang for Sumter
county organized, and that the
roads of the county be worked
by said chain gang and by taxation
instead of the present method of
the necessary advertisement be
made of the introduction of the
necessary bill into the Legislature
at its July session, and that the
Judge of the County Court attend
to the advertisement in connection
with those recommended by the
last Grand Jury.
SPRING SPORTS*
Quite a number df delightful
sports are open td the inhabitants
of this portidh of Georgia at this
season of the year; among which
are fishing with gill nets, rod and
line, fly, and bob, and hunting
deer, turkey ducks etc., in our
own streams, lakes' and woods
Fish and game are consequently
not considered any great rarity
upon any of our tables, but on the
contrary the former in many in
stances making an irttportaht part
of the food supply.
The month of May is the pleas,
antest atid most auspicious time
for angling—the weather being
warm dry and pleasant, and all
kinds of fish being easily taken
during this month. Numerous
Fishing parties are made up and
sometimes as much as a week spent
in this delightful sport. Spring
Creek in the Western part of this
county and IJoggards Mill in Ba
ker county are favorite places of
attraction and the number and
quantity of delicious fish taken at
these places during every Spring
is incredible.
As May approaches parties are
being made up here to go to
Spring Creek, near its mouth—
some to the Dead Lakes, on the
Apalachicola river, others to the
Blue Springs below this city on
the River, whilst those who do not
care to go into Gypsy life for a
week or a few days will remain
at home and fish in Lake Doug
lass and our own River. These
excursions or annual parties are
oases in the desert of life to those
who enjov such sports, and can
afford them, and make a residence
in this heaven favored section
the more desirable.
—The friends and supporters of
Major Bacon, in the late contest
have no reason to feel cast down
oyer their distinguished leaders
personal defeat. Major Bacon
represented a principle, and that
principle triumphed, although its
leading representative and most
prominent champion was martyr
ed in its vindication, because of
this championship and his lumi
nous prominence. Such a defeat
in such a cause, since that cause
triumphed, is as honorable as suc
cess could have been to Major Ba
con ; and the people of Georgia
will see to it in the years to come.
His friends everywhere feel and
know this truth, and feel perfect
ly content that such a man as Maj
McDaniel—a true representative
of the selfsame principle—should
administer on the estate of the
Ring.
—Who Governor McDaniel will
place in his cabinet is a matter
of some interest and conjecture
in this part of the State. For our
part we think it time Southwest
Georgia should command some
recognition in this direction. We
have an abundance' of as good
material as any portion of the
State, pay as much taxes and give
as great Democratic majorities—
all of which entitle us to proper
recognition. Will not our Ar
cadian Governor make a new deal
and restore the party equilibrium
by something like an equal be
stowal of favors ? We believe he
will. One thing is certain—there
is nothing that would give more
general satisfaction and give his
Administration a better send off
than the very course we have in
dicated. The people expect some
thing new, neat and cfean and will
be disappointed unless they get
it. * ’ w?
BAINBRIDGE.
Bev. J. L. Underioood, in Camilla Clarion.
This is the oak city, and a more
charming spot is not to be found
in Georgia. The people were
about to vote on the liquor ques
tion, and the writer and John E.
Donalson, Esq. had been invited
to deliver the closing addresses of
the quiet campaign. Mr. Don
alson made a splendid effort be-
fort quite a crowd, though the
whisky ring had made prodigious
efforts to keep the people from
hearing us. At the close of Mr.
Donalson’s speech, the executive
committee invited speakers for
ward on the other side, and uncle
Pete Daniel, the colored coroner
appeared as the champion of
liquor. The writer was again
called out to answer uncle Pete,
and all parties seemed to enjoy
the good humored controversy,
We were not surprised to find that
the more intelligent white people
of the county, and especially of
the city, were almost a unit in
favor of prohibition We could
not hear of a business man, except
the liquor dealers, who were not
opposed to the traffic. These are
among our old friends, and we
felt sorry to oppose them, hut did
it with all our might. Uncle Pete
says we were so kind to him that
he is our friend, and before Ve left
Tuesday several of the whiskey
men very carefully subscribed to
the Clarion. Zealous opposition,
when tempered by fairness and
courtesy, never makes enemies of
sensible men. Many of the color
ed people voted against whiskey
on the 17th, hut the bulk of them
had been so irretrievably duped
and so devoted to grogshops, that
with the aid of their white allies,
their large numbers in the county
prevailed and the election went
against prohibition.
On Sunday morning, in company
with our old Cuthbert friend, Mr,
Gus Boynton, a cousin of Gov.
Boynton, we went up to
KED BLUFF,
the home of Mr. Reuben Donalson
a*id Mr. J. W. Curry, and the
head quarters of the flourishing
turpentinery of Smith & Boynton.
This is one of the most romantic
spots of Flint river, and Mr Curry
is to be congratulated on his beau
tiful home. We had been invited
to preach to the white and color
ed people of our old neighborhood
which we did at the church of the
colored people. The irrepressi
ble Peter Daniel, the whiskey
champion, was sent up to watch
us and made his appearance just
before the close of the sermon.
Uncle Peter is welcome to make
all he can out of that sermon.

Medical Association of Georgia
which has been in session in Ath
ens this week, will hold its next
annual meeting at Macon on the
third Wednesday in April, 1884.
Room Car Service will be afforded
throughout its length from NeW
York to San . Erancisco. The
railroads constituting, the route
from Savannah Westward are the
Savannah, Florida and West
ern, Pensacola and Atlantic,
Louisville atld Nashville (Pensaco
la to New Orleans), Morgan’s
Louisiana and Texas Railroad
(New Orleans to Vermillionville)
Galveston, Harrisburg and San
Antonia Railroad (VermillioDville
to El Paso)’ and the Southern
Pacific from El Paso to San
Francisco. Through tickets and
through baggage check will he
provided, as the route is entirely
a through one.
The effect of this enterpise,
to the completion of which the
management of the Savannah.
Florida and Western and Louis
ville and Nashville have so largely
contributed, must ere long be
marked. As a route for immi
grants to the Southwest; Mxeico
and the Pacific slope, it must
become the favorite. Friend
argely from the the delays that
beset the Northern routes, this,
the Southern, presents decided
advantages for travel and trafic
that must speedly be recognized.
What relation does its opening
bear to the future of Savannah?
Have our business men thorough
ly contemplated the possibilities
it holds out, and are they resolved
to make them actualities? it was
reckoned a mighty step to Bain
bridge. But now the Pacific

Mr. E. F. Hurt, of Atlanta, is in
the city, prospecting in the inter
est of the Bainbridge, Cuthbert
and Columbus railroad. His ob
ject is to see what encouragement I n a<le and other refreshments,
almost day and night in order to
keep Up with custom or patronage
that he daily receives. Here also
is located his Steam and Water
Gin, And last seasoh he gined
seven hUndi*ed hales of cotton.
Here also is his store which does
the largest business of any other
mercantile house in the county—
his trade is not confined to this
county alone—many citizens of
your county and some from Earlv
give him their entire trade every
year. His trade at this season of
the year is like all other mer
chants who do a large business,
is mostly on the credit system
secured by crop mortgages leins
and other calaterals. At this
place we have a post office and
will soon have a good school under
the management of Prof. McLen
don who by the way is~very popu
lar here as a teacher. Dr. M. J.
Nicholson, was here located last
year in the practice of his profes
sion and made many friends, and
is much thought of here as a gen
tleman as a physician. The Doc
tor speaks of leaving us this year
and if he should do so, we hope
some other Physician will locate
here. I do not know of any place
where a Doctor can do better in
the practice than right here. We
hope however that Doctor N. will
conclude to stay with us.
On the oth of May next there
will be a picnic party at this place.
I learn that the Hon. Ben. E.
Russell will be invited to deliver
an address on that day in favor of
Prohibition, and Hon. D. McGill
will be invited to deliver a speech
on agriculture. Please mention

passed through the bands of Pope A Grace,
and the amount of money the people have
saved by dealing with them, within the past
eight months. They are selling more goods in
their line than apy other Drug House ever
established in Bainbridge and the reason is
a good one too. In tbe first place they are
reliable and responsible Druggist and fully
understand their business, and further more
they carry one of the largest and best assort
ed stocks of Drugs to be found in South
west Georgia. Their stock is all new and
fresh—no old goods. Mr. Grace having taken
charge of the business last summer, he is
pushing it onward and upwards and guaran
tees that he can and will sell as cheap as the
cheapest and as a proof that they do sell their
goods cheap. They sold a Florida merchant a
large bill of goods one day last week cheaper
than he could buy them in Savannah, sayiDg
