The Southern Farmer. I The Reorganization Pi
The late Justice Lamar, in aapecch Central
delivered in Charleston, S.. C., in
1887, paid tlie following tribute to
the old timo southern fanner:
“He made attractive and immoital
“the sweet and pare associations, the
pure and refining atmosphere, the
tnmqqil yet active operationa of a
large southern landowner. How full
of interest and high responsibility,
how generons, patient, provident,
and industrious the head of the farm.
These were the qualities that enabled
him to take a race of savages, with
no arts or traditions of civilization,
tad make them the finest body of
laborers in the world. He penetrated
the dense forest, the tangled swamps
year by year amidst exposure, hard
ships, and sickness. With prudence,
foresight, and self-reliance he sub
dued all the forces of nature and
brought the slave up near the level
of an American citizen. He was the
man whose life fitted him to emerge
from the soiitnde of his farm, preside
in the county courts or become a
member of the state legislature; to
discharge the duties of local msgia*
tracy, or to take his place in the
national council. The habits of in
dustry, of firmness of purpose, fidelity
to dependents, self-reliance, and ad
herence to justice in all the relations
of a life of a southern slaveholder,
which were necessary to the manage
ment of a well ordered plantation,
fitted him to guide legislatures and to
command armies.”
Associate Justice Lamar.
Death is plowing a deep furrow
through the ranks of distinguished citi
zens of the United States. Seldom
has the country been called upon to
mourn within a single fortnight over
the new made graves of four such men
as exsPresident Hayes, General But
ler, Associate Justice Lamar and Bish
op Brooks. The state, the church
and the army have in turn been be
reaved of representatives whose names
will be forever illustrious in the history
of the country; and in each instance
death has come suddenly, like a thief
in the night, to carry his unwarned
victim beyond the bounds.
During the stormy days which pre
ceded the civil war Lucius Quintius
Cincinnatus Lamar cast in his lot wiih
the south, and he was one of the first
to offer h.s services to the Confedera
cy. But when the arbitrament of the
sword had decided a great issue he
was ready to accept the verdict and to
raise his voice in protest against what*
ever might tend to perpetuate strife 01
to hinder the wcik of reuniting a sun
dered people.—Philadelphia Record.

the
The Old Central,
The New York Times eajs that
“Wall street opinion inclines to the
belief that the proposed Georgia
Central re organization is well coi
sidcred and sagacious for the protec
tion of tke propertj. It is very
favorably commented upon, but of
course the Richmond Terminal peo
ple, who are on the other side of the
litigation, do not take that view of
the matter.”
Georgians Co not wish to see this
very valuable properly wrecked.
The great majority of those interested
in the Central in this state will ac
cept the plan of re organization as the
best possible solution of the trouble
environing the great system. It
promises them more than any other
plan proposed and doubtless more
than any other plan projected or dis-
ctused.
Georgia, and very many Georgians,
ara either directly or indirectly in
tercsted in the reorganization plan of
the Central road. Elsewhere will be
fonnd the advertisement of the com'
mittee appointed to work out a plan
tor putting this valuable property, on
its feet- again. Parties interested
directly will very naturally want to
know something of the status and
standing of the men who have under
taken this work. Referring to the
personnel of the committee, the Sa
vannah Prestsays:
Behind this reorganization plan
are large capitalists, holding securities
of the different classes, and deeply
intereeted in the snecees of the plan,
Mr. Sjhiff is oi the great banking
house of Kuhn, Loebdt Co., of New
York; Mr. Oslston of the banking
house of Wilson, Colston & Co. of
Baltimore; Mr. Denniston of the
banking house of E. W. Clarke A
Co. of Philadelphia; Mr. Stillman is
president of the City national bank
of New York; Mr, Woodward ia
president of the Hanover national
bank of New York; Mr. Lehman of
the well known . firm ol Lehman
Brea; Gen. Fitzgerald is president of
the Mercantile Trust Company and
chairman of the finance committee of
the Equitable Assurance Society cf
New York; Mr. Hollins is at the
head of the banking house of H. B.
Hollins & Co. oi-New York. Theee
gentlemen constitute the committee
and associated with them are other
capitalists, of equal standing. The
plan will require the putting np by
this syndicate of millions of dollars to
underwrite it.”
The plan could not be entrusted to
abler or more competent hands. They
are not wreckers, bat on the contrary
are men who are pledged to rehabili
tale this great property, and at the
same time to protect all classes who
have invested in the securities oi the
Central. If any set of men can work
out the problem they can. The plan
haa received the hearty endorsement
of a great many of the stockholders
and bondholders They recognize
the fact that unless something is done
their interests will still inrther suffer.
If those interested will promptly and
cheerfully co-operate with the com,
mittee. the old reliab'c Central will
again become the most valuable rail
road property in Georgia if not in the
South.
Messrs. Garrard, Meldrim and
Newman, of Savannah, one of the
strongest and ablest law' firms in
Georgia, are counsel for the com*
mittee. This ia a guarantee that the
committee and plan will be well rep
resented in Georgia.
Complete copies of the plan with
all details fully explained can be bad
by writing to the addresses given in
the advertisement.
A Note of Warning-
No pager, in the South has given
the farmers more practical pointers,
belter advice, than the Angnsta
Chronicle, Here is an article from
that paper worthy of the careful con
sideration of every cotton grower in
South: '
'News is reported from Carroll and
adjoining counties that the farmers
will plant 50 per cent mere cotton
titan last year. This is repeating a
folly that hae impoverished the farm
era of the south. In view of the sad
experience of the two yean which
yielded the largest crops ever produc
ed, it is almost incredible to believe
that our planters will repeat ths blun
der of increased acreage.
Every influence should be brought
bear to keep our people from re
peating the blunder of overproduc
tion. The south has been impoverish
ed by producing more cotton than iKb
world can consumn nt remunerative
prices.
Our-farmers have their fortunes in
their own hands. If they raise their
own bread and meat, and make cot
ton ae a surplus crop, they, will he*
come prosperous; btft net otherwise.
Planting a large crop means the
starvation prices of the last three
seasons. A crop of seven millions
and it half means tea and twelve cants
pound for cotton. One of nine
million bales meant six and seven
cents cotton. The mere statement of
this proposition should determine
every cotton planter in the eonth to
avoid ths blunder of impoverishing
themselves for the benefit of others
Every newspaper from Virginia to
Texas should sound a note of warning
and prevent, if possible, our planters
from ruining themselves by increasing
the cotton acreage.
Cholera Still Extant.
Bermn', Jan. 26.—One new case of

so-called people’s party in Kansas
needs to make it a howling wilder

their governor so far forgets himself
in his inaugural as to speak bitterly
of the rich people who “ride in gilded

man, Jerry Simpson, boastingly says:
“D—n the law! We will do as we
please, and then make laws to fit our
actions.” This is the way the leaders
talk, and their followers are cot far

they were talking about blowing up

Discussed by Senators.
Washington, Jan. 28.—The sen
ate had not been in executive session
more than an hour when Mr. Morgan
announced the intelligence of the
Hawaiian revolution to the senate.
Although it could only be considered
in an informal mauner, debate was at
once precipitated that occupied the
greater part of the secret session.
Generally all seemed to favor annex
ation or the establishment of a pro
tectorate. Strong probability of in
ternational complication was urged in
opposition to either scheme.
In the house of representatives there
wss strong feeling expressed by lead
ing democrats' sgainst annexation.
At the same time there was an equal
ly unanimous opinion that no other
nation ahoald be permitted to step in
and control the destinies of the island.
Hie Monroe doctrine 1 was again upheld
as a cardinal principal in our, foreign
policy andks demanding the exclusion
of European dominion over territory
ao near our own. “What could we
do with it, and what a lot of trouble
its aflaiia would give os,” is perhaps
a fair summary of the etatemenU
e informally by members. It was
•aid at the same time that the course
et Hawaii in adopting and seeking
annexation is practically the same iu
that taken by Texaa when it became
part of the United States.
Abovo Section and Party.
That the late Justice Lamar could
rise high above party and section, is
proven by the following, taken from
his eulogy on Charles Sumner:
Let us hspe that future generations,
when they remember the deeds of he
roism and devotion done on both
sides, will speak not of northern prow
ess or southern courage, bnt of the
heroism, fortitude and courage, of
Americans ia a war of ideas—a war in
which each scctioc signalized its con
secration to the pnnciples, az each un
derstood them, ct American liberty,
of the constitution received from their
fathers.
Charles Sumner in life believed that
all occasions for strife and distrust be
tween the north and south had passed
away. Are there not many of us who
believe the same thing] Is not that
the common sentiment, or, if it is not,
ought it not to be, of the great mass
our people north and south]
Bound to each other by a common
constitution, destined to live together
under a common government, forming
unitedly bnt a single member of the
great family of nations, shall we not
now at last endeavor to grow toward
each other once more In heart as we
are already indissolubly linked to each
other in fortunes]
James G- Blaine.
The news of the death of Mr. Blaine
will be received with a sincere sorrow
throughout the country. The south
has always felt very kindly toward the
distinguished statesman. On more
than one occasion Mr. Blaine has
shown himself a true friend of the
south. While narrow minded, bigoted
fanatics were howling for a force bill,
and devising means to still further
humiliate the south and injure her
people, Mr. Blaine stood out boldly in
opposition to all such measures. His
statesmanship was broad enough to
embrace and cover the ahole country.
Ho west down to the grave a disap-,
pointed man. More than one: the
highest office in the government ap
peared to be in his grasp. But he
never reached it.. Dike Henry Clay,
he was the idol of his party, and yet
that party failed to reward him with
the great office to which he aspired.
Mr. Blaine will live in history as one
of the most conspicuous figures in bis
day and generation. The republican
party has lost its ablest and broadest
statesman and leader.
That School Census.
It is generally kaowtTthat a census
of the school children of Georgia will
soon be taken. Speaking of this the
Constitution says:
The state school census, which is
soon to engage the attention of the
department of education ot the atata of
Georgia, is already awakening the of
fice seekers.
There have been hundreds of appli
cations to the commissioner of educa
tion for places as censes taken, and
still the rush goes on.
Captaio Bradwell, the commission
er, said yesterday that it was surpris
ing to him how msny there are in the
state who want the places. The pay
ia only $2 a day and the time the cen
sus takers will be occupied win not be
for more than a week or two. It is
very small office, and yet the number
of applicants for it would seem to in
dicate that there are a great many in
the state who would be glad to get it
for the pay.
The census will be the first the
schools of the slate, have bad for the
past five years and will be of great
service to the slate.
Worth a Million.
Washington, Jan. 28.—Mr. Blaine
is soppesed to leave an estate worth
in the neighborhood of $1,000,000,
which it is presumed will go to his
family through his wife. Besides his
real estate in Washington, which is
supposed to be worth $250,000, he is
interested as a stockholder in various
railway and mining corporations, the
basis of his fortune, his friends say,
being coal lands, which he inherited
from his ancle Ephraim, in Western
Pennsylvania. Through Secretary
Elkina ha had had a number of op
portunities for profitable invt atments
and also through Andrew Carnegie
and other rich friends.

Judge Speer Being Urged.
Macon, Ga , January 28.—Public
comment here as to tlm successor of
Justice L-uuar haa begun to crystal-
ize among'the republicans in the
opinion that the name of Judge
Emory Speer, United States Judge
for the Southern district of Georgia,
should be sent to the senate, by the
president. It is, of course, generally
believed that President Harrison will
make the appointment in a few days,
and the republicans of the southern
district are beginning to take active
steps to push Judge Speer’s name for
the appointment.
The fact that he lives in the district
which has been presided over by
Justice Lamar, and his brMiant at
tainments as a jurist which have won
a wide recognition of his judicial
ability, give Mi friends reason to
think that the president wuuld listen
favorably to the suggestion of his
name. At any rate it is the prevalent
opinion among republicans, who re
present the republican sentiment of
the Southern district, that Judge
Speer shoo Id bo urged for the place,
and movements are now on foot to set
the ball rolling

On our return home from Florida,
we went a little out of our regular
route to visit the noted winter and
health resort of Georgia—Thomss-
ville.
k It t Nik an extra day and niglit to
do this and there were slight evi
dences of complaint about it on the
part of a few members as we stepped
off the train early that morning, De

disapproval quickly disappeared and
when the lime came for ns to depart
in the evening, it was difficult to tear
the party away!
‘We reached the city early in the
morning of* bright, crisp day. It
was too warm for overcoats but yet a
pine fire in the grate at the hotel was
very pleasant and agreeable. We
were the guests of the city and were
invited to stay as long as we pleased
or could, and one of the most charm
ing days of opr entire trip was that
we pat in at this pretty town.
“Thomasville, the capital of Thomas
county, Georgia, is located two ban'
dred miles irom the Atlantic const,
.fifty-five miles from the Gulf, within
twelve miles of the Florida border,
and on the Savannah, Florida &
Western railway.
M It stands upon a ridge or plateau
covered by extensive pine forests, and
at a height of about 350 feet' above
tide water. It is au old town, with
upwards of six thousand inhabitants,
nicely laid out with wide streets, and
containing many noble and stately
trees—one superb oak being worth
going every day to see. The air is
pure, dry and balmy from the all
encompassing pine woods, through
which radiate many walks and diveiv
sified drives - in all directions. The
odor of the resinous pines is clear and
distinct as one enters the town and it
must certainly be very beneficial to
catarrhal and like troubles.

fever ravaged the country, Thomas-
iile opened her doors to refogees.
They vrdre bid to on me aud fin’d relief;
aud safety in this high, dry resincus
atmosphere, in which yellow lever
has never been known Hundreds
sought safety during these epidemics,
and not a single case developed heie.
Yellow , -fever, be it known, is the
great dread of the South. Jackson
ville had it a few years ago and it
baa never recovered from the great
blow it gave the city. While waiting
the dinner hour ai Mr. Glading's, we
were driven through a magnolia grove
0/ several hundred acres. It was the
middle of December but we all went
without bats and none of the ladies
had wraps. Think of that, will you?
We found s ime violets which had the
true violet smell, too, and picked
great branches of holly covered with
the bright red berries The birds
were singing in the trees and Nature
was in harmonious tune everywhere.
This section is too far north for
orange growing but it is the natural
home of the pear. Great quantities
of the Le Conte pears are grown here
and it is also the center of the; water
melon belt. Mr. Glading as railroad
agent gets hundreds ot car loads cf
them shipped to Chicago. As
winter resort, ThomasviHe is full of
hotels and good ones too. Among
them are the Piney Woods, Mitchell,
Masury and Stuart. The association
had a banquet at the Masury. A
new eighty room ho: 1 built by J. W.
Masury, the paint manufacturer of
New York. The manager, Capt.
Pratt, and his charming wife made it
exceedingly pleasant lor all of the
editorial party. The hotel is very
cosy and comfortable—so much so,
that when Mr. Tyler, of our First
National bank, having decided on
going to Thomasville asked us where
he should stop, we unhesitatingly
said “the Musnry.'’ He writes back
to us that he is more than pleased
and thanked 11s for influencing him
to go there.
“Lake Geneva is a summer resort
something as Thomasville is a winter
resort. We have here many things
that they lack and they have things
we ought to have. They have splen
did drives and they have got them by
working the roads rightly. For two
or three miles in every direction from
the city the roads are like boulevards.
Every bit of dirt, unsightly weeds,
limbs of trees, etc-, are carefully
gathered and burned. The city
'streets are raked as clean as a lawn.
Trees are made to grow on the busi
ness streets and everywhere. The
wide streets there are as here never
so crowded with teams that every
tree mast be cut off to furnish room
to drive. There are no drives in the
world that would equal ours if a little
care was given to the roads. Our
farmers be’ieve that road* are only
kept up so that they may come to
town- Why hot go a little further
and learn that it is more valuable
have fine roads that our summer
visitors may go to the country ? That
is what make!} their farms valuable.
'Our stay in Thomasville ended
with the eveuing. It was a day
full of pleasure as it could well he.
We left at nine o’clock and f rora that
time no stops were made until we
reached Chicago. The trip of nearly
4,500 miles'was ended on Wednesday
night December 14. Resolutions
were passed thanking everybody who
had contributed to the pleasure of
the trip, good-byes were said and the
Wisconsin Press outing of 1892 came
to a conclusion.”
