Mr. J. W. Tayntor,of New York and Vice President of the Bain bridge State Bank, was here a few weeks ago, and on returning North took a few hands of Decatur County Tobacco just as it come from the tobacco barns of Decatur county, and carried it home with him sample of a Decatur county pro^ duct. A few days ago a youn friend of his, and partner in busi ness received the following lette in reference to what he did with the samples. Remember, this tobabcco wa never sweated or given any atten tion—and not been selected, or sorted. He writes: New York, Dec., 9,1S91. Dear Sir: A sample of the filler tobacco was given a manufae turer. He made it into cigar using Connectict wrappers, and pronounced it Cuba stock. W anxious to know where more of it could be gotten, and considered it worth from 80c., to 90c., per pound My friend, (the Manufacturer) says he considers it worth more as fillers than wrappers, though I did not have a fair sample of wraj pers. He told me this morning to get a case of the fillers if possible and hold it over untill next Sum mer and it would be worth one hundred per cent more then than now. Says it should be a year old before being worked up into cigars.” Allowing a big margin for en thusiasm, the foregoing demon strates that Decatur county product is equal to the best on the continent and that when once in troduced its merits will win every where. We publish this extract without the permission of its author, but in this instance we think the end will justify the means—sinco it is no breach of confidence to do so. The Democrat will print the news whenever it can find it and know it to be beneficial for it readers. Council Bid Right. The recent action of the city council, in enacting a prescriptive ordinance, controlling the fakir and similer characters plying their nefarious schemes under the guise of free shows and the like, such as the recent free Balloon crowd, here, probably saved the enact ment of similar disgraceful occurr ences as transpired at Cairo and in other places in Alabama in connec tion with the same crowd. At Cairo, (so we are informed by sev eral reliable gentlemen who were present) not less than $9000 were stol from the unsophsticated people who were drawn round their tents and booths, by means of pickpock ets and gambling tricks. Several of the thieves were made to dis gorge, by the vigilance and fidelity of the officers of the law of Thomas county before they could get away, but the bulk of their ill gotten gains were carried away. The action of Council here and the vigilance of our Mayor and officers, in prescrib ing the character of the exhibition they should make, and prohibit ing the explosion of fire works, (as is the case when attempted by our own citizens, within certain limits) prevented such occurrences here —and the gang of sharpers and thieves left, cursing the town authorities of Bainbridge low but deep; and judging from certain strictures and comments we have since seen appear to have left at least one ally who is continuin this abuse. However, as this is in line with his tactics, to array class against class ,and the country against the town, all methods, no matter how nefarious, justifies the end. We say, and all right thinking men will agree with us, the Coun, cil did right, and we honor and commend them for their action. A DUEL AT COLQUITT. SCHOOL WANTED. A competent and experienced lady teacher desires a school in this section of country for 1892. Best references. Address, Mrs. Julia Moore, tf. Bainbridge, Ga. A New Industry. Verily, it begins to look like De catur county dirt was going to turn out to be a gold mine in many ways. Recent discoveries of phos phate, the development of our to bacco industry and the rapid en hancement of land values by rea son of both, but more particularly in the last direction, have put boom upon lands, and holders are beginning to realize that they have something worth big money if they happen to be in certain favor ed localities. But the last find that of a vast bed of very valua ble kaolin, or potter’s clay—one mile above the city on the banks of the beautiful Thronateeska near the site of the old Tonge Factory. It was discovered there a short time ago by a practical Potter—a Mr. Kine of Atlanta, and upon secur ing the bed proceeded at once to bring down his teams, implements and family and the work of build ing furnaces, mills etc., has al ready begun. Mr. Kine says that he has never seen finer clay in hi; life and the supply is practic ally inexhaustible. Tiie Democrat welcomes him and his enterprise to our city, and bespeak for both the cordial sup port and encouragement of this section of country. The special attention of the dry counties and towns throughout S. W. Georgia is called to our jug factory, where they will be enabled to supply not only the stuff to put in them but the jugs themselves. Extensile Land Denis. There have been some extensive deals in tobacco lands in this coun ty during the past week—more than *35,000 in cashjchinging hands and more than 4000 acres of tobac co lands changing owners, and the end is not yet. The first of these deals was the slae of that splendid plantation known as the Thomas Smith plantation four miles below Attapulgus to Messrs A Cohn & Co for the sum of twenty three thousand dollars for the tract of 3300 icres. The second was that of a tract of of 1100 acres adjoining it, owned by Mr. C. H. Thomas of Fowlstown, for *10,000. Mr. W. B. Smith of Attapulgus has also recently purchased the irm of Mr. Starkie Cox, at Atta pulgus consisting of about 200 acres. And Mr. J. E. Dickenson has traded for the farm near Fowls town known as the McBride place. Our' tobacco crop of 1891 has doubled, trebled, quadrupled and qunitupled Tobacco land values, and they are still advancing in price. Said a well known gentle man to the Editar of The Demo- rat the other day. “I want to thank you for what ou have done for me and for Decatur county by your labors with your pen. Two years ago I tried to sell my place of 700 acres at $2 per acre on credit. I have just re fused to accept *8,00 per acre cash and I believe I can get *10.00 and know your paper has done more to bring this enhancement about than any other agency. May you and The Democrat live long and prosper!” Town Marshal Sheficld and Dr. Wilkin Shoot Mr. Adams in Sell Defense. On Saturday last Brack Adams of Miller county, a man well know throughout all this section ; dangerous man when drinking— went to Colquitt and carried his Shot gun and soon after arriving there filled up on whiskey. While in a Bar Room Dr. Wilkin came in and asked for a bottle of beer, when he was in suited by Adams and some bad words ensued. Seeing that Adam was drinking, Dr. W. turned and left him, and the Mayor knowin Adams’ troublesome disposition ordered the marshal to take his shot gun from him to pre vent any further trouble. Thi was done, and the affair quieted down for a time, but later in the evening Adams procured a pistol and was again around threatenin dire vengance generally. About this time Dr. Wilkin start ed into a store, to get a cigar Adams being present on the veran dah. As Wilkins started to mount the stops Adams drew his pistol and opened fire upon him. Wilk ins responded, but not until he had been fired at once or twice, and sent a bullet through Adam thigh. Just at this juncture Marshal heffield, attracted by the firing ran up and attempted to arrest Adams, and Adams fired at him The marshal having a shot gun returned the fire, shooting his ad versary in the face, with a charge of bird shot. This closed the duel and Adams was taken to a hotel for surgical attention. At last accounts Adams was do ng well an d will probably speedily recover. The report that his wounds had resulted fatally proved to be untrue, although his death was reported here by several par ties direct from Colquitt. Examination ol’Tcachers.

Please call and see Brother Wil son and get your receipts. Our Cuba Tobacco. Messrs. A. Cohn & Co. our To bacco Leaf packers here, have in their employ some very intelligent and observant Cubans who are preparing and packing their to- iaeco just as it is done in Cuba. The Democrat’s editor inter- iewed Senor Hernandez one of them this week through an inter preter, (Mr. J. S. Ilrad well who peaks the Spanish tongue fluent ly,) on the subject of our tobacco, and was informed that in, when properly handled, was equal in aroma and intrinsic merit to the uban product, the only variation being caused, said he, by our meth ods of cultivation. He says our soil is almost identically the same, and our contiguity to the Gulf and our South sea breezes give condi tions very similar to those which ibtain in the Antipodes. Senor Hernandez has worked in tobacco inee he was a child and knows all about its production and handling. In Cuba the leaf is cured on the talk, but the stalk is cut up into hort pieces, two leaves be ing left attached which are sus pended, and it is then cured ac cording to the old method. We had hut a few minutes with him hut will apply our gimlet again at the first opportunity and give our readers the benefit of all he says A Visit to Attapnlgns. We paid a visit to the hospitable home of Mr. Duncan Lester near Attapulgus, on Monday last and enjoyed a delightful chat with Mr. W. B. Smith, the father-in-law of Mr. Lester and who for the past four years has been the principal Superintendant of the great To bacco Syndicate of Gadsden county Fla., on the subject of tobacco culture etc. Mr. Smith has moved back to Decatur county to spend the remaining days of his life in shed ding the light of his experience and knowledge upon his children and neighbors and friends who are just entering upon the culture of to bacco and to bask in the sunshine of those loving smiles; and while he will continue the planting of to bacco himself he will find time and take pleasure in giving others the benefit of his practical knowl edge and experience—having promised the writer to give The Democrat’s readers an occasional contribution to our tobacco depart ment. We spent the hours of our stay most delightfully and partook of splendid dinner, the pleasant memory of which lingers still and will continue with us for many long day. Mr. Lester is, himself a very successful tobacco planter and a visit to his large new barn demonstrated that he was in to stay. He has a place finelly adapted to tobacco planting and in a few years that entire section of our county will be abloom with prosperity from tobacco growing under the guiding wisdom of the several ex perienced farmers of that section, along with Mr. W. B. Smith. Speed the dawn of this day of fruition. This particular section is the finest tobacco growing section on the American continent and the world is fast finding it out. has an experience covering at least five years.

We believe the Florida Cuban tobacco will grow right along on our gray I lands in this section.—Montezuma | Record. A mistake, Brother, as ex perience will prove, Cuba tobacco, with the aroma which makes it desirable, cannot be grown worth of Decatur county. But chewing tobacco can and equally as profi tably as the Cuban varieties. Try that. We want to see Macon county farmers happy and prosperous. Decatur county farmers quit cotton and planted tobacco. They are out of debt and have money in their pockets.—Montezuma Record. Tell your farmer readers, Broth er, that they can do so too; but that they must make no mistake about the kind of tobacco they plant. They can raise fine heavy tobacco in Macon county, but not the Cu ban varieties. They can only be successfully raised contiguous to the Gulf and its breezes—which impart to the plant that rich aroma hich makes it desirable as a cigar tobacco. This is a truth which ex perience will teach them later, un less they take the experience of others for their guide.

Oflustercst to Teachers. Office op State School Com missioner, Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 12th’ 91. To The County School Commis sioners of Georgia. By this mail I send you printed questions for the general examina tion to be held Saturday, Decem ber 19th. These questions are plain and practical, bearing direct ly on the studies prescribed in com mon schools. Only one day can be allowed for the examination, and it should be conducted with justice, fairness and generosity. The object of the examination is to develop two facts: 1st Whether the applicant worthy or not. 2nd. Whether the applicant is competent or not. To ascertain the first, the law provides that “each applicant must provides that “each applicant must submit with his or her paper satisfactory evidence in writing of good, moral character.” The second is made evident from the answers to the questions propound ed. Permanent license in addition to the above requisites is based upon the professional character of the applicant. I am, in a great meas ure, guided by your certificate as well as the high grade of the appli cant’s papers, and I instruct you not to give those certificates unless the party has acquired profession al character by experience in the school room. I recommend that no application be forwarded to the department unless the applicant When Ba6y sick, we gave her Castorta, When she was a Child, she cried toi Castoria. When she became Mias, she clung to Castoria, When she had Children, she gave them Castor^ By All Odds The most generally useful medicine Is Ayer's Pills. As a remedy for the various diseases of the stomach, Uver, and bowels, these Pills have no equal. Their sugar-coattng causes them not only to be easy and pleasant to take, hut preserves their medi cinal integrity In all climates and for any reasonable length of time. The best family medicine, Ayer's Pills are, also, unsurpassed for the use of travelers, soldiers, sailors, campers, and pioneers. In some of the most critical cases, when all other remedies have failed, Ayer’s Pills prove effective. “ In the summer of 18€4 I was sent to the Annapolis hospital, suffering with chronic diarrhea. While there, I became so re duced in strength that I could not speak and was compelled to write everything I wanted to say. I was then having some 25 or 30 stool* per day. The doctors ordered a medi cine tliat I was satisfied would be of no benefit to me. I did not take it, but per suaded my nurse to get me some of Dr. Ayer’s Pills. About two. o’clock in the after noon I took six of these pills, and by mid night began to feel better. In the morning the doctors came again, and after deciding tliat my symptoms were more favorable, gave me a different medicine, which I did not use, but took four more of the pills instead. The next day die doctors came to see me, and thought I was doing nicely, (and so did I). I then took one pill a day for a week. At the end of that time, I considered myself cured and that Ayer's Pills liad saved my life. I was Uien weak, but had no return of the disease, and gained in strength as fast as could be exDected.”—rF. C. Luce, La!e Lieut. 56th ItegL Nrass.
