Colonel Way, ot Stvanualt. a
World’s Fair Commissioner Item Geor
gia, says: ‘ The colored pc u ie of
Georgia and other States have made
great progress, and are entitled to an
exhibit by themselves if they want .t.
Colored people pay taxes on more
than $15,000,000 worth of property in
Georgia. They claim, and not with
out reason, that if their products are
shown along with those ot white exhib
itors the public will not know that the
work is exhibited by colored people. I
am in favor of stimulating them to
more active competition with whites
in manufacturing industries.
Editor Underwood of the Camilla
Clarion, a good Al'iauceman, gives
the following sensible advice to his
brethren of that order:
Now that the allianeemen have
seen the evil of running the Farmers
Alliance into political schemes and
have seen the ridiculous and disgrace
ful politicalcourse of some of the lead
ers, they protest against any more of
this sort of business. Let.
hack to our first great principles and
work to build up our farmers, our
neighborhoods and our schools. Jn
politics wc arc all democrats, and all
true democrats favor all measures cal
culated to help the farmers. In fact
the democratic party in the south is
mainly made up of farmers. \\ c
can’t run polities through sectet so
cieties. We can help each if the al
liance is kept on its grand old founda
tion.
Georgia Pine.
The Times-Exterprise has, for
years, been sounding notes of alarm
about the waste of pine trees. We
have tried to show that in the near fu
ture the pine forests of Southern Geor
gia would be a mine of wealth. A.nd
yet the destruction goes on. For a
mere pittance tuners arc selling tur
pentine privileges. And the tesult is,
that our magnificent forests are disap
pearing with startling rapidity. Speak
ing of this the News says:
Georgia at present has the most val
uable forest of yellow pine of any state
in the union. Her long-leaf pine belt
almost covers one-half the counties cf
the state. Experts have calculated
that, with judicious management, these
valuable timber lands would yield $30,-
oco.ooo a year for a long time to
come. But nowhere, it seems, is the
timber simply more recklessly and ex
travagantly wasted. “Turpentine farm,
ers" are rapidly getting away with these
magnificent timber resources. In this

All sorts of schemes are held out
here as elsewhere, to induce people
to come, 011c of which struck me as
novel. The company calls itsell the
“National Co-operative Building and
Land Association.’’ Their offices had
the air of substantial prosperity and
the large amount of correspondence
on their desks indicated their mail
business to he immense.
I was told they were the owners
of Washington Park, a few moment's
walk from the depot, where they
have contracted for the erection of a
large number of cottages, and that
they are now giving warrantee deeds
of every fourth residence lot to all
come paying twenty five cents^rclyiug for
their profit upon the enhanced value
of intervening lots. As this kind ol
a real estate (leal was in harmony
with my depleted exchequer no time
was lost iu the transfer of a deed to
my inside pocket. My title is clear
and I see no reason why my profit
should not also he clear in view of
the large amount of projected build
ing.

copies ot your paper to distribute

A Negro Killed.
Patten, Ga , Dee. 115,1890.
M< li tor Tt a cs- e. x re r. r:: i.
There was a negro festival Christ
mas ere flight near Mr. J. A. filler-
rod’s place, and among a great many
others that were present, were Will
and Ed Mitchell, sons of E.-aw Mitch
ell, a worthy and industrious colored
man, living at Patten. On their way
home before day, Will had to try his
pistol to see how ’twoukl shoot. Ed
had stepped to one side unknown to
Will, of course, lie hit him, striking
him in the head killing him almost
instantly. The coroner Las been no
way it is claimed fully 40 per cent, cf | tided, and an inquest will he held to-
the pine has been killed. The stills in
operation are sufficient to destroy the
remainder in seven yeats more. The
price paid for this privilege is not more
than $1 per acre, and for this beggar-
ly sum the timber resources of the
state, which, if (properly husbanded,
could be jnadc to yield a steady in
come ol millions for years to come,
have been ruthlessly sacrificed. The
state should take it upon liersell to
provide some legislation that would re
strict this wanton waste of the timber
resources.
Bay, Bight here wa want to remark
that the festival is a disgrace to civili
zation. The legislature ought to pass
a law forever prohibiting them. Yes
terday lad Mitchell was the very
picture ol health and happiness. To
day lie is cold in death. Will the
youths of the laud never lake warn
ing.
Subscriber.
Since the above was put in type,
wc have teen Coroner Johnson, who
informed us that the jury found a
verdict of accidental killing—IM.
