The late drouth has been effectually broken. The rains arc said to he very general. Georgia wants and invites immi grants—but she wants good ones. No socialists or anarchists need ap ply. Two negroes were hung in Georgia this week for murder. They went heavenward. At least they claimed to be heading in that direction. They all do. ^.in Georgia is not realizing as much for her convict labor as she should. This statement is respectfully referred to the summer session of the legisla ture. About Jails. Judge John L. Hopkins, of Atlanta, writes a scathing article to the Con stitution, on county jails. Wo append a few paragraphs: “From the testimony before me, 1 do not doubt that the condition ol penitentiary convicts who arc under going punishment for crime is vastly better than that of unconvicted pris oners in the average county jail. * 4: * * To make prison life comfortable is not the object. That is unattainable, and no law of duty requires it. Con finement is discomfort. When con finement is necessary, let it come. < hir snfcty~and prosperity depend upon a prompt and vigorous enforcement of law. In that lies the happiness of a peo ple, and no misdirected sympathy should defeat it. At the same time, the management that destroys llie health and life of a prisoner, by causes other than mere confinement, is bad management. If a prison that breeds pestilence should meet the fate of the hostile, humanity might lie excused for look ing complacently upon its ruins. There are two classes of prisoners, the convicted and the unennvieted. The unconvictcd arc presumed to be innocent, and arc not to be punished at all while in the unconvictcd state. The convicted arc to stiller a legal punishment—that prescribed by law. Any other punishment is inexcusably wrong. * 4= * * * One suggestion in the way of re form I venture to make. Require each county to construct a stockade in connection with the jail, and in that let the prisoners have open air and sunlight as a county physician may direct. As long as it can be avoided doti’t take entirely away from God’s crea tures that air and that light. The grave claims for itself that office.” These suggestione may well claim the attention of county authorities all over the State. As our county is soon to build a new jail, wc invite the at tention of those having in charge the erection of the building to the views of Judge Hopkins. They are timely and humane. West Florida is still an integral portion of the “Land of Flowers.” And it is likely to remain so. The Alabama annexation scheme won’t work. The Celestial Empire will please take notice that a r.egro was hung in Georgia this week for murdering a Chinaman. The followers ol Confu- :ius should appreciate this voluniary act of international courtesy. The long-cared mule still docs duty on the street car lines in Atlanta. Isn’t it about time the Gate City was •merging from village ways, by adopt ing dummy, cable, or electric street railway lines? The Mason cotton picker, which attracted considerable attention a year or two since, has come to the front again. It is said to be perfected. The “contraband” as a cotton picker is mighty hard to beat. The extradition law recently passed in Canada has made the army of bood- lers who have skipped to that do minion very uneasy. The vital point is: is the law retroactive? Every ras cal ought to lie brought back and punished. The first formal session of the Geor gia legislature will be held in the new capitol on the 5th of July. The gen tlemen from “Doodlevillo” and “Pos sum Trot” will feel out of place for a few days. However they will soon become accustomed to their surround* ings. The explanation of Senator Jones, touching his strange freak of with drawing from the -United States Sen ate, as published in the World, does not explain. It is a rambling jumble of nothings. Senator Jones is evi dently "oft.” The painful impression is left that his mind is, unquestion ably, affected. He is to he pitied. The newspapers of thel'nitedStales have raised about £350,000 for the Concnmugh valley sufferers. When ever tho newspapers take hold of a movement they arc apt to make a success of it.—Telegraph. The ncwspapeis of the country have, undoubtedly, exerted a very powerful and potent influence in the work of rousing the people to the necessities of the Johnstown sufferers. They have made stirring appeals everywhere. And to these appeals the people have nobly responded. President, [Lj lighter;] the popu lation of a city is like tlic circulation of n newspaper [continued laughter] you can make it what you plcrse, for nobody ever believes it. [A perfect uproar.] Yes. sir, you have a great city and we want to see more of it. 1 again thank you on behalf of the association. Letter From Jacksonville. Capt. John Tkipi.k.tt: ISy reason of advance in season, what should be summer is now upon us, and notwith standing an occasional croak, the entire slate of Florida enjoys excep tional health Our various sea-side resorts are being well patronized, and only a question of time when Florida will be popular as a summer resort. I think I can, at this distance, witness a credulous smile —an expres sion almost ot pity—for one who would dare to make this assertion But wait. The long absence of rain has cut short vegetable and other crops, ami in many places the earth is still parched, while our fellow mortals fur ther north are praying for a sunny day. Your people should Visit Florida during the summer and decide as to its sa lubrity and comfort. Many places on the shore are being pushed ahead as permanent pleasure resorts. Magnifi cent hotels, rivaling, in splendor, the palaces of the eastern world—fitted up with all modern appliances which con duce to comfort and ornament—one class to accommodate the winter tour ist; another with fountains, arched ways, corridors and gardens arc being constructed to attract those who are looking for a cool place in the summer.' We have water-ways in the interior, serving to this splendid land the pur pose of collonades and hall-ways to a building. The peninsular being narrow and highest at the centre or ridge is admirably situated to catch the constant breezes blowing Irom either the Atlan tic ocean or the Gull of Mexico. There is more in all this than you may dream of. Investors arc spending mints of money in such enterprises at many points. Notwithstanding the crucial period through which Florida has recently passed, wc arc on our feet again; values are increasing and all mankind is settling down to the con viction that this is a great country. Our strawberry crop for the present Talking Right Out. The speech of President Estill, at the reception teudered the Georgia Press Association by the Commer cial Club, of Jvnnsas City, on the oc- VU1 -._ r casiou of the recent excursion of the season almost doubled that of any association to the West, has been very preceding, and diversified agriculture favorably noticed by the press. It everywhere, is receiving attention has the ring of true metal about it. Mr. Estill, said: Mr. President, I thank you for the manly words you have expressed. I am glad, sir, that you referred to a former visit of citizens of Georgi a to your city. 1 thank you for reviving to us what our colleagues then said to you: ‘l.oyiil or nut loyal, r<i!l it wlml you limy, Wc me American citizens anil arc back to stay. [Loud Applause.] “We arc citizens of one common country, and devoted to one common flag. Wc have no apologies to offer. The troubles which commenced twenty-five years ago upon the bor ders of Kansas were settled at Apjio- niottox ajid settled, thank God, ior- cvcr. [Applause.] There is no issue which enn now come between the people of the North and South or Jhe past or West. This is an indivisible union of States, and the States of the South are just as devoted and loyal to the stars and stripes as any in the West or East. Thors is no hatred in the South to the soldier of the North. He fought for what he deemed right, the soldier in the South did the same thing. The sword settled the ques tion, and why should it not be per mitted to remain settled? I tell you between the men who fought those terrific battles the question i* settled and there is no bickering between those brave and heroic men. The people of the South sacrificed all they had. It is lost and gone and they are not mourning, hut up and doing, hon estly endeavoring to make a living and build up their waste places. Yesterday you spread flowers ou the graves of your dead—green be those graves. The South also scatters (low ers ou the graves of her dead. They too, were brave meu, and no one will dispute it. But it is not of those sad and trying times I wish to speak. Let the past rest, and let the bitter ness it engendered sleep in oblivion. [Applause.] It is the present and the future that tho people of the South are thinking and working for. We, who are your guests, are deeply interested in the material interests of Georgia. Wc have come out here to see how it is that you people are so prosperous. Wc want to learn how it is that you take the oil of the cot ton seed of Georgia and make fine leaf lard cut of it. [Laughter.] This city is perfectly marvelous to me. I was here fourteen years ago, but this looks nothing like the city of that day. The thrift of your 200,000 peo ple is something wonderful to contem plate"! deal liberally in figures, Mr. Midges Among the Wheat. Indianapolis, June 20—The com plaints about the destruction ol wheat bv a strange insect are increasing. They are coming chiefly from the southern and eastern parts of the state, but the ravages of the little bug have already spread to northern Indiana, and the secretary of the state board of agriculture regards the reports as alarming. The insect is what is known among agriculturists as the “green midge,” another species ol which is ‘the red midge.” The latter last ap peared in this region about fifteen years ago, and did great damage to growing wheat. The green midge, the little destroyer, which is now doing such alarming work, lias not been seen by the farmers since 1865, when it almost entirely destroyed the wheat crop of Indiana and the neighboring states. Millions ol them appear in a field, set tling upon a stalk from which they draw the sap, causing the grain to shrivel before it is matured. I.itdc is known about them because their ap pearance has been rare. Fiance collects taxes on dogs to the amount of §1,500,000 per annum. And France is a prosperous country.

Southwest Georgia lias its attractions, not the least ot which may be found in the surroundings of Tliomasville, but the topography of Florida is unique. The average temperature and range of humidity belongs exclusively to Florida. The whole peninsula is unsurpassed in point of health and thousands are ready to testily to this indisputable fact. Many of our towns have made during the past three years most rapid strides in permanent prosperity. What is known as the sand slope of Florida has bought ol southwest Georgia, and placed in' elegant buildings, millions of brick and large quantities ol other building material and this is going on steadily, so as we progress you are bencfittcd; our prosperity is mutual; one can’t well get on without the other. Your visitors do not often return to the north without visiting Florida. Your town is ?. resting place for. ours—joint benefit again. Jacksonville, the me tropolis ol Florida, is now in position, by reason of many natural attractions and commercial advantages, to take rank among the foremost cities of this grand country, and the energy and good qualities of her citizens will insure continued prosperity. Why can you not visit us during the summer and sec for yourself? I will pledge you, in advance, a most enjoyable trip. Occasional. Jacksonville,Fla .June 15,1889., A Battle With Gamblers. W A venous, Ga., June 17.—fSlierifl Henderson and u posse made a raid on a negro shanty at Waltertown last night, in which there were thirty gamblers at play. The negroes imme diately extinguished the lights and began a fusilade upon the posse. The posse returned the lire and the negroes soon became rattled and eager for escape. They packed the chimney, pushing each other out upon the roof. .Some five or six were extracted Irom the chimney. One fellow, more dar ing than the rest, shot at the party from the roof after he had emerged from his sooty Wrth. Nineteen were bagged and jailed here. Eight of them were tried this afternoon and five were convicted and sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang. None of the posse were hit, hut it is thought that some of the escaping gamblers received slight wounds. I’assesiieu Dp t 8.F. k \V.
