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. Ian of 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 cholera is reported to day at Trotba, a village a short distance from Halle, in Prussian'Saxony, where several cases have before been reported. The disease has appeared in the vil lage of Mor 1 , where one ol the villa gers has been attacked. Four new cases and two deaths were reported yesterday at Ottcnsen, a suburb of Altona. No new cases were reported in Hamburg this week. Fire in Rome. The following dispatch vat sent lrom Atlanta yesterday Dr. Holmes' sanitarium at Rome was burned to the ground this morn ing at to o'clock. Fifteen inmates escaped in their n<ght clothes. The loss is $65,000, but was insured. It was the work of an incendiary. More Cold in the Northwest. Sr. Paui., Minn., Jan. 26.—It is many degrees bc'ow zero at every point front Helena, Mont., to 1 -t- Crosss, Wis., to-night. A cold wave struck St. Paul about 3 o'clock this morning and the drop in the mercury has been 26° since that hour. Amen! to The Prediction. Speakipg of the recent prediction by Mrs. Lease and Mrs. - Diggs that the third party was dead in Kanras the Constitution says: “We trust that these two sibyls have got it down right All that the so-called people’s party in Kansas needs to make it a howling wilder ness of anarchists is a red flag. Even their governor so far forgets himself in his inaugural as to speak bitterly of the rich people who “ride in gilded carriages.” Their favorite congress 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 behind them. Only a few days ago, they were talking about blowing up the state house, if they could not run the*machine.” Thinks he is Charley Ross. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 24.—“I have an idea that I am the Charley Ross so much talked about,” said a fellow in Charleston, Coles county, 111, to a re porter yesterday. “My name Cjurles Thomas Ross. I must be about 23 years old,.as I was about when I went to live with the Brick family, near Clay Prairie, 111., 14 years ago. 1 had rua away from the Whit taker Block, a big tenement in St. Louis. I then had a vague recollec tion (as if it had been a dream) of having riddcc hundreds of miles in covered wagon. My wile has written to the postmaster at Philadelphia for me afid learned so much as to lead us to believe that I am the lost Charley Ross.” A Depot Burned at Monticetlo. Monticello, Fla., Jan. 26.—-The Florida Central and Peninsular rail road depot at this place was destroy ed by fire this morning about x o'clock. The origin of the fire is uni known.

The Hatch bill will bo voted on in the senate to-day- It has been vari ously amended in the senate. Stop II! Ex-Speaker Reed Slid in a conver. sation about this matter: “Mr. La. mar was a great man whose death much to be regretted. But this ad journment custom is becoming wasteful abuse. If we go in the way we are going we shall after a while take up the morning papers every day, read the obituary list and adjourn a mark of respect to the Worthy Amer icao citizen? whose deaths are record- ed there.. In the Fifty first congress we wasted fifteen days in that way,' and no human being was ths better happier for it.” So far the testimony in the Watson congressional contest amounts- nothing. It has every appearance being a farce. Thoee of Mr. Watson’s friends who thought that there were grotinds for a contest are disappoint ed.—Augnsta Herald. 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. Logan county, West Virginia, has an area of 800 square miles. The onlr town in the county is Logan Courthouse, and that has only 300 people living in it. There is only one church building in the county and that was erected by a private individual. The nearest railroad station to the county seat it fifty-five miles.

Never buy tom lots or lead where a poor newspaper is published. Newspapers these days are a necessity, net a lux ury. They are s> cheap that. the poorest man can have them he is running a bill at the saloon. It matters not bow many city papers a man may take, he should give an honest support to Us home paper. 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 ello THE HEALTH RESORT OF THE SOUTH. The Impressions of Thomas- ville Formed by One of The Wisconsin Editors. • It i» Close. Speaking of the election oi Mr. Martin from Kansas, the Augusts Chronicle figures oat the next Senate as follow:: The election oi Mr. Martin settles the political complexion of the next Senate. There dim now 39 democrats in the body, to whieh New York, California, AVisconain and Kansas will each add one, with Kyle certain to vote with the democrats, making 44, or jast halt the senators, and a demo cratio Vice-President holding the cast ing vote. In addition to these, there is more than an equal chance for dem ocratic senators from Montana and Wyoming. If democrats shall be elected in those states, the -Senate would stand 46 democrats, or 2 more than half the whole membership oi the body. It is, therefore, entirely sale to assume that the democrats will organize the next Senate and have n clear majority in favor of thorough tariff reform. * . Mr. S. M. Griffin, through the col umns of the Quitman Free Press, gives melon growers the followiog ad vice: From the best information obtaina ble,an immense acreage will beplant- ed in melons this year. Reports come in from all directions that all the avail able lands will be put in melons. Some contemplate planting six and seven miles from their loading point. want to advise against any one planting more than they can afford to lose. We all remember that last fall there were a few cases of cholera in the United States. Cnolera still ex- ists. in Europe, and if we should have a few cases in this country next May or Jane, the gates of all the large ci ties would be closed agams: us. That being the care our loss would be great. Besides a half crop is more remunera tive than a heavy crop, aod much more satisfactory to handle. They Are Coming. An exchange says: “It is nounced from London that the op position to crinoline has had a serioua ret back, and peop’e are beginning to be eorry that they said anything against it. The qneen has declared in favor of it, and thinks that she would look fairly young again il she were concealed by expansive skirts.

Of course, if the queen puts on hoops tirst settles it, and soon men will have to get off the sidewalk when tbev see a lady approaching” Money for Pensions. Washington, Jan. 28.—The ap propriation committee agreed upon the appropriation tor the pension bill to day and instructed Representative Mutchler to report it to the house. As agreed upon the bill carries an appropriation of $166,400,000, being an increase of $20,662,650 over the appropriation for the current fiscal year and $431,350 less than the eati mates. Says that faith-inspiriog newspaper, the Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise “Our editor adsertised for a lost umbrella and it was returned to him by the party who stole it. The whole force prayed over the matter, and the man’s conscience troubled him so that he could not rest. But he stole the umbrella again six hours after he had returned it. The ways ol providence are past finding out.” Voters who contracted bad colds while shouting for Cleveland on the night of his election may be able to compromise the matter if the offices won’t go round.

Will Georgia get a cabinet position? Aye, there's the rub. _ g 1 The following interesting letter is from the Lake Geneva Herald, edited by Mr. IIeg, the .president of the Wisconsin Press Association: 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 cember 12. But the mutterings of 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. “It was a no lews noted traveler than Bayard Taylor, who said that Georgia was the only country in the world that could be compared with Italy and lose nothing by the favor in the matters of scenery and climate. Viewed from any point in Thomas ville this region certainly sustains itself under any load of poetry, while its material advantages are surely pre eminent. 'Shortly alter breakfast elegant carriages were put at our disposal and tor over four hours we drove about the city and its environments. It was a ride not soon to be forgotten After the climate, the people are especially proud ot the roads and they have reason to be. In all Florida there are no drives, as the sandy soil makes it almost impossible to draw even an empty wagon. But here there was a mixture of sand and clay which made the most elegant roads we have seen. Heavy nins, they say, do not make them muddy as the water is quickly absorbed The drive was tbrrugh miles upon miles oi plney woods where the per fume of the trees was almost over powering. The beautiful forest was like a park, the roads winding in and out in all direction. We pas3 the winter residences of many northern people—some from Chicago, hut as yet mostly from New York. None are so elaborate as the better class of our summer residences nor do any of them keep their premises so hand somely as do our visitors. Land is very cheap near town and ranges from 62 to $10 an acre accord ing to improvements and location! The low price of land is accounted for by the thin fanning population com pared to the extent of territory. The greater' portion of the county covered with ft rests of pine, oak, hickory, magnolia, etc. It struck me that a man could find splendid in< vestments here in these lands. The region is growing rapidly in populari ty as a resort, and people will begin to go further and further in to the country, as the city increases in size, Already some New Yorkers have estatea.of several thousand acres, not ably the places ofJohn W. Masury, 8. R. VanDuzer and J. Wyman Jones, all of New York. The surface of the ground is covered with wilc^native grasses, upon which the hardier kinds of cattle, sheep and hogs thrive with little at* tention. Finer breeds of these ani mals as well as horses are also raised. All kinds of poultry do well and are grown for market. The fields and woods abound with such small game as quai', turtle doves and squirrels, while the streams, and lakes swarm with many species of fresh water fish. We were the especial guests of ‘Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Glading. southern agent of the Monon Route, and who have a beautiful borne just outride of town. Mr. Glading was a mino of information to me. He left an important position in the north with a railway, to try to regain his shat tered health. He believes that the climate has saved many years of life to him and he is eloquent in its behalf. He told me that on two different occasions when epulen 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.” B. l.;hicks CO., DRUGGIST*, Have exclusive »8alo ot these celebrated (Has scs In THOMASVILLE, QA.
