A Hopeful Sign. - ^
P. W. Meldrim, in Savannah PrfBK
I saw Mr. Gresham in^Chicago a
few years ago- It was jast before the
presidential nomination of Gen. Har
rison, and expressing tap hope that in
the event we“were to have a republi
can president that Judge Gresham
would be the man, he remarked, T
do not think l ever will be ibe' nomi-
nee of the republican-party, because
I am not a. good enough republican,’
meaning of course, -that he was not
willing to be bound by mere party
ties for the support' of the political
tenets of which he disapproved. I
believe the appointment of Judge
Gresham, if it is so, to have been the
bravest act ever done in American
politics. I happen to be one of the
few men who were not original Cleve
land men, not that I was opposed to
Cleveland but that I doubted the
wisdom of his nomination, but I am
free to say that his. courage in ap
pointing Judge Gresham to the first
place in the cabinet not only honored
Gresham but equally honored Mr.
Cleveland. It is a hopeful sign that
American politics have at lost reached
that point when th ose Americans who
put country above party are selected
for positions.of honor. There will, of
course, be dissatisfaction among that
c*af« of the democratic party whose
faith is embodied in tho expression,
“to the victors belong the spoils ”
Lets wait and see how Judge
Gresham deports himself as secretary
of state, before condemning his ap
pointment.

The above taken from the Augusta

that there is money in manufacturing

grown. What has been done in
South Carolina can be done in Geor
gia, can be done in South Georgia,
can be done in Thomasville. The

if proporly run and managed, will pay

Cleveland’s Inauguration.
Washington, Feb. 13.—The work
of the committees having charge of
the ceremonies incident to the inau
guration of President elect Cleveland
are progressing satisfactorily. The
governors of the following states
have already notified the committee
that they will be in line accompanied
by the members of tlieir staffs: Del
aware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts,

There is every probability that the
inauguration of March 4, 1893, will
surpass all its predecessors.

Cleveland Talks.
A dispptch from New York yeaten
day, says:
“I met Hoke Smith of Georgia
my office in New York to-day. He
called at my request I offered him
the position of Secretary of the In<
terior and he accepted. I wish to say
that I have not written or received
any letters or other communications
from him, and that to-day was the
first time I have seen him since tbe
election.”
Hoke Smith Gets There-
The following special was published
in the Savannah Press of Wednesday
afternoon:
New York, Feb. 15,4:30 p. m.—
It has been definitely ascertained that
Hoke Smith was offered the secretary
ship ot the interior to-day by Mr,
Cleveland during their conference at
the latter’s office and that Le has ac*
ceptcd.
The Brunswick Times, in an edi>
tonal on the needs of the south, says:
“The south wants good farmers who
will produce enough for themselves
and to spare; the south wants skil’ed
workers for her mills and factories,
and legislative restrictions upon im<
migration, which will impede the en
trance of such people we view with
alarm and regret”
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 14.—War is
on in real earnest between the two
houses of the legislature and blows
have been exchanged. There are now
open threats by the populists of sen
sational hostilities and at any moment
there may be something more than
talk, which has been so long spoken
of.
It looks as if the political lion and
lamb were lying down together, when
Harrison appoints a democrat to the
supreme bench, and Cleveland ap
points Judge Gresham to a position
in his cabinet Verily, the political
millennium is near at hand.

and fifty five mites from the Golf, in
the southwestern part of Georgia,, is
Thomasville. Here some time in the
night the editorial party arrived from
Jacksonville, Flo., whence we had de
parted at nine o’clock the previous
evening and how we used up the six
hours in which the distance between
Jacksonville and Thomasville is made
I know not I only know at a reason
ably earlier hour we were at Thomas
ville and when 1 stepped out of the
car Deerfield, I received marching
orders from President Heg to take
the omnibus for the Stuart House.
There wai soon a gathering of a large
number of the party at this hotel
while others were quartered elsewhere.
If the readers of the State Gazette
would measure Southern and North
ern hospitality combined, for that
was what was bestowed upon us this
day of good times at Thomasville,
share its pleasures and rich gracious-
ness with mo in the telling of it all so
far as words may serve the purpose.
The reader may as well understand
that editors as a rule eat three times
a day, even on an onting, and if the
hospitable intent of their entertainers
had been carried out I fancy they
would have done little elae but eat, at
any rate the day at Thomasville be
gan with a breakfast and included a
dinner at mid-day and a splendid
banqnet at the day’s close, all of which
was tendered the guests by the hospi
table citizens of this beautiful winter
resort. Nor was this the limit of the
hospitality of those very kindly
and courteous citizens, as will be
shown later.
For the writer the day held some
very pleasant and personal features
which cannot go unnoted, and that
was keyed at the very beginning of
the day’s programme after breakfast,
This came from the welcome greeting
from Mr. David McCartney, of Fort
Howard, who has made Thomasville
his winter home ior the past eight
▼ears and who owes his freshness and
vigor, which makes the burden of his
eighty years or less, light ones—to the
healthful surroundings he has so wise
ly made his choice during the rigorous
winter season of his northern home.
He was tho embodimoat of health and
good spirits on that December day
and seemed, almost, shaU I say, as
glad to see his northern friends, Mr.
and Mrs. E. Decker and the writer,
as they were to see him. Soon we
wero soon seated in his spacious com
fortable carriage, our host occupying
for the time the position of'driver.
After a drivo through some of the
broad, handsome streets of the city
we arrived at the attractive, cosy
home of Mr. McCartney where^we
met his two sisters, Mrs. Margaret
Dark, of Monmouth, 111., and Mrs.
Emmeline Neill, of Hopkinton, Iowa,
who are spending the winter with
him. In the hallway there was a coal
stove in which a fire was kept going
to keep the house dry, but open
windows throughout the house was
noted all through the day aud on the
parlor table, if memory serves me
right, were roses from the garden,
have spared the readers thus far bills-
of fare, though the journey recorded
some fine ones, but I cannot refrain
from indicating that the party from
Green Bay partook ol a superb din
ner at this hospitable home which
was of a Thanksgiving day type and
was appreciated beyond what could
be told. Mr. and Mrs. Decker were
given an opportunity to see somewhat
of Mr. McCartney’s possessions which
included beside the home noted one
of his many plantations.
This pleasure I was debarred shar
ing having had a task set me which
required my presence elsewhere, and
I make this explanation as account
ing for the meagreness of the infor
mation I am able to give at this
time of Mr. McCartney’s domains,
which I regret equally with the read
ers of The State Gazette, who I know
would welcome much more than I
can tell them of the manifold indus
tries which occupy Mr. McCartney’s
time and attention for six or seven
months of the year. I anticipate,
however, having an apportunity to
make amends for this at some future
date, at least it is so planned.
Mr. McCartney owns a number of
plantations about Thomasville, which
contains as a whole 7,000 acres.
There is one located abont 5 miles in
one direction from Thomasville called
“Piney Woods,” another as many
miles in another direction named
“Magnolia,” and a third about eight
miles away called “Walnut Hill.”
There are included in the list of in
dustries a pear orchard, sugar cane
and cotton plantations, cornfields,
etc. These are »all under the direct
superintendence of Mr. McCartney
who is mentally as well equipped for
the task as he was twenty years ago
and is physically, as already noted,
enjoying robust health. This is grat
ifying to’ note and shows that Mr.
McCartney has learned the secret of
living which is to keep young, what
ever may the tale years tell in num-
ber. -/'/• ’
I should' judge that about every
house holder in Thomasville possessed
horses and carriages of some descrip
tion and these outfits, it seemed, were
turned over to the members of the
party for the entire day we were their
guests. The drive3 in all directions
were attractive, the broad streets,
handsome residences and fine grounds;
numerous hotels; the beautiful trees,
fine in outline and notable, many of
them for their shse, lingers in memory
as part of the picture. Thomasville
is a city of 5.000 inhabitants and it
has another feature, as I recall it, and
that is the rolling surface which this
county seat presents and right at
hand is the celebrated Paradise Paik,
the “Piney Woods,” from which one
of the finest hotels of the place takes
its name. Pine woods it should be
said encircle the city, and leading
through them are fine, hard roads.
Due iu the pine forests and to the
fact that Thomasville is 350 feet
above the level of the sea, has good
drainage, good water supply and dry,
pure air, is all that need to be said to
prove that this city’s claim of being
one of the most pleasant and most
healthlul resorts, of its kind in the
United States is a just one. Iu com
pany with Hon. Geo. W. DeLano, of
Abrams, Wis., 1 called at his very
attractive winter home, meeting his
wife, and sister, Miss DeLano; bis
widowed sister, who usually makes
her winter home at Thomasville is
now in Europe. Mr. DeLano is as
enthusiastic over the delights prof
fered by Thomasville and its health-
1 ulnesa as the most 'enthusiastic resi
dent of that city could demand, which
he proves sincere from the fact that
he has resided there for the past
eleven winters.
One of the pleasant events of the
afternoon at Thomasville is recorded
in the music rendered by the voices of
a number of young negroes, the rich,
sweet sympathetic quality of which is
always so acceptable to the ears and
so indefinable. Banjos and guitars
formed the accompaniment and the
audience was made up of the mem
bers of the editorial party, the veranda
of the Stuart being the place of assent-
bly.
Thomasville possesses many excel
lent hotels. Besides those already
noted is the Masury and the Mitchell,
these two with the Stuart and Court
house facing the same square.
The banquet, serye<Lat the Masury
was participated in by about 200
guest*, included among the number
being the members of tbe city council,
members of the local press fraternity
and other notable citizens. There
were addresses of welcome from our
hosts and responses from the presi
dents of the two associations, Mr. E,
D.,Coe, of the Whitewater Register
and others. Acknowledgement was
also publicly made at this time to Col
Elliott for the special courtesies which
the members of tbe two associations
recognized had been received at his
hand, the character.of which has been
noted in a previous chapter of these
write-ups. To this tho Colonel re*
sponded eloquently, in behalt of Mr.
H. B. Plant, whose representative he
considered himself, and also on his
own account.
The day at Thomasville was re
garded as possesing equal delights
with those of the most favored spots
visited, holding as well, features dis
tinct, in character, and as a perusal of
the differing articles of the many
write-ups would indicate, as varied in
character as possible.
There came to me at early dawn
this day, aye before dawn, an ex
perience that I had hoped I should
find had been shared by some one else
that I could credit with the telling,
but it chances not. It was the song
of a bird, the only one I recall while
on the outing, which held in its tones
such thrilling sweetness, such an
estacyof song, that memory holds
nothing to equal it- The “silence
was pleased” and the ear will not be
satisfied unless it again can hear those
notes—half lonely, too, they were—of
that unseen songster. R-F.

Northen’s War on Lynching..
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 14.—Gov.

Sheriff Munday of Hall county during :
the trouble of last Sunday, when a j
mob broke into the jail at-Gainesville
fort he purpose of Jyncliing the negro
who attempted to outrage Miss Shad*
man, the factory operative. The
governor has mads strenuous effort*
during his administration to stop
lynchings, and his proclamation,
which is rather an unusual thing un
der such circumstances, is calculated
to carry out further this policy.
A treaty has recently been ratified
by the senate between this country,
Russia and France. A report has
been started that Russia and France
agrees to help Uncle Sam maintain
and uphold the Monroe doctrine.
The United States docs not now, nor

this matter. She is eminently able
to uphold this doctrine by herself.

overflowing treasury and no distrust of
silver, and that it will go out of power
leaving an empty treasury and confi
dence in silver greatly impaired. It

increase our self respect, awaken our
enthusiasm,-carouse our affections,
control our property and ourt-man
