And it Blew, And it Snew. Whew! Wilkesbarre, Pa , Feb. 19.'—At 9 o’clock to-night a terrific blizzard swept over this city And 'vicinity, ac companied by peals of thunder and blinding flashes of lightning. It bad been snowing all day and m the even ing the fury of the storm increased, rfcc wind, blowing forty miles an hour from the southwest, drove the snow before it in sheets. Pedestrians almost within reach of their own doors be came confused by the blinding snow, and had serious difficulty in reaching places of safety. For fully au hour the blizzard raged, the mercury going down io°. The air seemed to be packed with flying snow, the wind howled frightfully and tho lightning played about in a dangerous manner. Residents of the city, thinking that a repetition of the terrible tornado of 1890 was about to be enacted, forti fied themselves as best they could and waited nervously for the worst. For tunately, however, the wind abated, and the fears of a cyclone were al layed, Elmira, N. Y., Feb. 19.—The worst snow storm of the season prevailed here this evening, the wind attaining almost cyclonic force, while the blind ing snow storm fi led the air. The mercury also fell very rapidly and promises to reach the zero mark be fore daybreak. Buffalo, N. Y. Feb, 19.—Snow has been falling all day and at 9 o’clock to night it is 3 feet deep on main street. The street cars have been blockaded for several hours. The wind at one time during the afternoon reached a velocity of s-xty miles an hour. Grand Rapids, Mich. Feb. 19 — The worst blizzard of the season struck this city to day, completely impeding street railway traffic lor the first time in the history ol ihe system. A coal famine is threatened in consequence oi the blockade railways entering here. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Feb. 19.— One of the most furious blizzards ever known struck ibis city at 11 o'clock to-night and lasted three quart an hour. The snow was so thick that it was impossible to sse across the street and the wind blew a hurricane. To be Pitied. ; The Brunswick correspondent of the News thus rfcfersJo the Arkansas negroes who have been so heartlessly duped: s “Two hundred and sixty bewildered negroes arrived in Brunswick at 6 o'clock to night on board of the East Tennessee special train, bound for Africa, the land pictured to them as one of milk and honey, where money grew on trees in big dusters, inter mingled with cocoanuts and bananas that would furnish them food- Hud died together in a confused mass near the depot they wero found by the Morning News correspondent. Young men and old men, young women with suckling babies and old women with walking sticks that afforded them sup port. little children crying for bread and older children resting their "tired bodies on the grassy lawn enjoying the sleep they had not known tor days and nights. It was a pitiful picture, and Chief Police Beach and his kind-hearted policemen, aided by Detective Wiggins, had to act the good Samaritans. Going - among them they learned that they were without money and leadership. By hard work they were secured sleep ing places, and to-night, with the help of the kind-hearted people of Brunswick, most of them have shelter, while others wander through the streets in search of some place to sleep.' 1 A smart negro hi.d told them that a vessel would be icady at Brunswick to carry them to Africa, where they could live without work. Ho skipped at Memphis with the hard earnings of these wretched people. Improvement of tho Georgia Vol unteers. The legislature at its last session passed some acts, which weie inten ded for the improvement of the volun teer troops of the state. One of these was a Jaw for the examination of all men elected or appointed to office. There has been a liw for examina tion of officers lor some years, but it was found very inefficient. The new law provides for a board of examiners to be appointed by the governor, who shall conduct all examinations. Gov. Northen has appointed Cap’. J. S Hardeman, O. T. Kenan and Lieut. C. B.Satter’.ee as such board, and Adujutant General Kell has issued an order specifying the subjects on which the different officers elect are to be examined, and those young men who want to hold office in the Georgia Volunteers in the future will have to prepare themselves well before they go before this board. They will first be examined as to their physical qualifications, nex*. their moral char acter will be inquired into, and if they are all right in these respects, they will then be required to stand a written examination on iheir knowledge of the tactics. All this will have a ten dency to elevate the tone of the mili tary, and if persisted in, will, in a few years, make it an honor to hold office in the Georgia Volunteers. We wil. give later_8omc of the subjects which new elected officers will be ex amined. The Cotton Acreage The state agricultural society session at Augusta unanimously adopted a resolution Thursday advis ing farmers to plant less cotton and to give more attention to food crops For several years the state agricul tural society has been urging the farmers to diversify their crops, and the advice is being acted upon by very large percentage of the farmers in this state. With meat as high it is at present ami the prospect that the price of cotton would be very low if a large acreage should be planted, it would be folly for farmers to devote all their time and capital to the pro duction of cotton. The last cotton crop was a small one comparatively and consequently good prices are being obtained for cotton. It is evident, however, that ihe supply is yet fully equal to the demand. If the acreage planted this year should not be greater than it was last year the price of cotton will be sufficiently high to compensate farmers for any reduction in the volume of their crop they may make. There is no profit in cultivating cotton when it commands only 6 or 7 cents a pound. What, then, is the use of producing more than the world wants? If the farmers will produce only enough to supply tho demand they will find the cotton crop a profit able one. The action of the state agricultural society in this matter will have a good effect.—News. Peace, sweet peace, rules and reigns in bloody, breeding Kansas again.

Atlanta, Ga., Feb 15.—Since the announcement that Hoke Smith, president of the Evening Journal Company, and owner of a majority of the stock ia the paper, would sell out his interest when he became a mem ber of the Cleveland cabinet, the probable future of the paper has been widely discussed. It is understood that an effort is being made to con solidate the Evening Herald with the Journal under the management of Editor Jonah Carter of the Herald. In mors to this effect have been generally discussed for tho past few days and the change in the attitude of the two papers toward each other is regarded ns giving color to such scheme. Ihat School Census. .Commuaiuner Brad well has issued the following instructions, touching the taking of the school census: 1. Boards shall employ "one or more” enumerators. It is left to the of the board whether one man shall be employedfor the whole county or city, or whether the work shall be divided into districts -or wirds. 2. Tho county school commissioner or superintendent is eligible to ap pointment as an enumerator, but a member at the hoard is not. I. Xh6 enumerators most be citi- xens' of the connty or city in which they are employed. Minon are not eligible, enumerators will not be allowed to "farm out” work. 4. The board is empowered to fix the per diem compensation of'the enumerators, $2 being the maximum allowed by law. I would advise it be fixed at $2 throughout the. state and that good, responsible persons be selected. When the appointments are made their names must be sent to this office- 5. Enumerators will be required to go from house to house taking down the names as well as the number of the children between 6 and 18 years of age, together with atatistics of illiteracy, attendance at school and such other facts as will be indicated on the blanks furnished them. They will be required to make oath as to the correctness of the returns, the number of days employed, etc. Blanks will be furnished by this de partment and sent "fo the county scbonl commissioners for distribution. 6. The returns from the enumera tors must be filed with the county school commissioner or superinten dent, and it shall be his duty to con solidate them and furnish a consoli dated report o*er his certificate to the state school commwsioner. The re ports of the enumerator must be kept Stand* by Grover. There is not a better or trner dem ocrat. in Georgia thhn Col. “Bill” Harris, of Worth. Here are his views bn tho appointment of Gresham as given in the'AUanta Journal Col. Bill Harris says as to the ap pointment of Judge Gresham in Ur, Cleveland’s cabinet, “I am like the old minister who, one Sunday on opening the service of hia church, took op his hymn book and a hymn confronted him that some mischiev ous hoys had pasted noatly in hia book, “Old daddy Grimes, that good old man, is dead and gone,* he said: “My beloved congregation, this hymn book I have used for thirty years, I never saw this hymn before, but it is here and I ain’t going back on this hymn book, and yon will therefore sing it” President Cleveland is onr president, democratio president, with more cense than any man I ever knew or read of, and as a democrat lor for forty years I have battled for democracy, and though but an hum ble private, I learned in two wars to obey my superior officers always.

Washington, Feb. 17.—The com mittee on foreign relations reported to the senate in executive session - to day the Hawaiian annexation treaty with the recommendation that it be ratified. It was placed on the execu tive calendar, where it can be reached by a majority vote ai any time. A poll ol the senate on the annexa tion oi Hawaii shows 39 for, 14 against and 24 non-committal. The poll was taken to see whether the senators would ratify the treaty. The chances are that they will, thongh many of the strongest senators oppose it and may decided to talk it to death rather than *0 it ratified. Endorses Gresham- Charley Pendlo’on is a clear-headed democrat. Here is wha’ he says about the appointment of fudge Gresham: 1 ■Judge Gresham stands without a superior in his fitness for the place; and probably without a - peer in the confidence ol the people, and his ap pointment places the West solidly in the Democratic ranks. These should be reasons sufficient to offset unfriend ly criticism, and the fact that every recognized lesder outside of the “ma chine” has endorsed the appoio'meot should quiet the disgruntled. Those who voted lor Cleveland knew that he held public office as a public trust, and that he wou'd disburse public patronage upon the basis ol fitness, and not as,'a reward for political manipulation.

The state board of education is empowered by law to order a new enumeration if it is in doubt as to the accuracy ol the returns, in which case, unices the returns are verified, the first enumerators receive no com pensation. 8. I designate March 15 for the enumerators to begin the work throughout the stale and May 20 as the extreme limit for the returns to be filed with the county rchool com missioner or superintendent, who will consolidate them and transmit the report to his office by May 24.

Referring to the Soldiers’ home question, the Constitution says: '•There is still a strong sentiment in the state in favor of the Confeder ate Home, and the citizens of some counties seem disposed to rebel at the fate which has befallen it. It is by no means a dead issue with the people, whatever may become of it.” We hope it will be made an issue in every county in the stale at the next election. Shame, that Georgia should ignore the old soldier. Augusta, Feb. 16.—The state agricultural society to-day voted in favor of reduction of the cotton acre age and sent delegates to tho south ern cotton growers’ convention in Memphis to femphasiza Georgia's posi tion. “Make it strong.” raid Gov.

Washington, Feb. 17 —Before leaving Washington the president authorized Secretary Foster to offer bonds for sale whenever, in his judg* ment, such action is absolutely neces sary to maintain the government’s gold reserve. The gold in the treass ury to day is about six and one half millions. If it should reach the dan ger lino, say about two millions, there is scarcely a doubt that Secretary Foster will offer for Bale about fifty million dollars in bonds. The affairs of the Central may, in the course of time, get straightened out. The Savannah Press says: “Col. George A.

This is one of the biggest transactions ever made in this country. Col. Mercer represents the trust company in Sa vannah.” Little Rock, Feb. 16.—Gov Fishback has received replies from all the governor’s relatives to a con vention to be held at Richmond, Va., on April 12, and has wired Gov. McKinney, of Virginia, to tlie effect that the convention would be held. With two exceptions all the chief executives of the southern states will attend the convention, which is to consider ways and means to advance the ioterests of the south. New York, Feb. 17.—Represen tatives oi Corbett and Mitchell to night deposited $10,000 each with a temporary stake holder as prelimin' ary negotiations for a finish fight.

Georgia's geographi cal position gives her a decided advan tage over tho adjoining southern states. i most direct w mting markets of the north. ’Her fruit-growing inter est is yet in its infancy, but what a wonderful stir the infant is making in the great fruit markets. Already Georgia saches, pears and grapes are quoted at io very top. They are now taken as the criterion of excellence by the very best trade, this being the reception given onr in fant, what may we expect when it is grown. When I think of this I trem ble for the future of many other fruit sections. We are beginning to realize that wo have a great state, especially in the field of horticulture. Commercial fruit growers from Dela ware, western New York, Michigan and Missouri (the old established centers of fruitgrowing of the United States), who were in attendance at the nursery men’s convention in Atlanta in June, after one week’s sojourn within our borders acknowledged that Georgia has tfrfi brightest outlook of any section in OUT republic. They, after a few day's {ravel and observation, grasped the sit uation with greater zeal and brighter predidtions as to onr future than many a Georgia horticulturist. The peach interest of Georgia is now becoming a big industry. Can sho hold the place already gained and is thero danger of it being overdone ? Let us note for a moment her place in comparison with other noted peach sec tions. Califoriiia lands suited for the peach are extremely high, irrigation is absolutely necessary, tho alkali in tho soil is no advantage; then the eastern insect foes are making their appearance in spite of her quarantine against us. The distance they must ship her prod ucts to find a market is a great hardship >n the California grower which they can’t overcome. The great peach region of South Jersey, Delawaro and Eastern Maryland is practically out of the race, as the yellows have brought desolation and waste to that beautiful and once f irofitablo fruit region. In the Michigan ruit belt it is true they havo to some extent checked the ravages of the yel lows, but not until the industry was crippled and the confidence of pros pective planters shaken. Even grant them the recovery of all lost ground in the Michigan field or any other peach region north they would not visibly affect us, from tho fact that Georgia will lead the market with better peaches than they could offer. When they mar ket - Alexanders and others of that type, Georgia will give the market Elbertas, Crawfords, etc., so you see Georgia is in the field with hardly enough competi tion to incite her growers to cultivate and handle as they should for their best interest. Where else in the peach world will you hear commercial growers say, as some of our largest Georgia growers have, that it does not pay to fool with the borer or trouble about thinning the fruit. They reason from actual experi ence that the trees can be brought into bearing so cheaply and the fruit, with out any trouble of thinning, brings such very satisfactory prices that we will not bother with any of its usnal fancy touches. What is true <?f the peach is Relatively true of many other fruits, wo take the peach as ah example simp' because there has b$en more attentu given to that fruit as £et than others. We havo now come to 6pcak more directly as regarding North Georgia in terests, North Georgia needs not f ar ther advertising of her capabilities abroad as much as she needs advertising among her own peddle. We do not (in many sections at least) appear to havo awakened to the frroper realization of what can be done $n the lino of fruit S owing. Our own people must acquaint emselveS in the ljne of horticulture with the ^elements of prosperity about them, and undeveloped resources in their midst, which await intelligent action, rather than attracting strangers with stories of what can be dono. Jt has been often stated, and it is » truthful statomeht, that ir tho various sections of our country wero set apart from oach other, and bo placed that each must depend upon her own native resources for support and devel opment North Georgia would le -- ’ them all. We believe in North Georgia as fruit-growing soction, but thero will he many failures and disappointments. Thera are many obstacles yet to over come. This is not the Garden of Eden. Bu| we accept the spirit of Whittier’s ••Why search the wide world everywhere For Eden's unknown ground? That garden of the primal pair May never now be found.’’ If all fruit growers would either cept this, or conclude tK6y had found the garden, hoW much better it would be for them. How 6ften you hear them B tve could only grow friiit like lia 6r Vf&tem New York bo perfectly 1 satisfied, or would hit ljko they did thirty go it wonte be profitable.

Apple growing, which'Is yet almost entirely undeveloped is most promising especially in the territonr north of ns. If you have ever soen Baldwin’s golden, Kinnards choice and even native seed lings as grown in that region you un derstand why we should be sangnine as to the future of apple culture. With the entire southland for a market this is one fruit that no grower could rea sonably fear of overproduction. In fact the question of overproduction need not the attention of onr fruit grow- it these are questions that must have careful, intelligent consideration or failure will be tho result. If we make commercial success, varieties most be grown that are adopted to our soil, climate, and elevation, proper cultivation must be given, remedies for insect depredations must be properly and timely applied, the trait must have proper handling.

Thoughts On Stock Raising In Georgia, Suggested by Daily Observation. ION. R. T. NESBITT, COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. From the Southern Cultivator. At this season of the year I pass on tho railroad car after car filled with mules and horses shipped here for sale, and as each day I see the droves pass my office window, the thoughts in my mind becomes an earnest wish that, every plan could bo practically formod for keeping at home the immenso sums which aro paid out for this ono item. In Atlanta alone are sold each year about 60,000 head, representing abont $050,000. Can we not keep at home a part at least of this large waste? It does seenl that if the stock raisers of tho west can, with all tho attendant risk, breed and raise this number of mule9 And horses, then pay the expen ses of shipping, and still realize a hand- somo profit, we, with coffifraratively nominal railroad expenses and 6Very advantage of. climate and situation, could make such ah investment fray well, added t<3 which stock raised frere, being acclimated, would be far less lia ble to sickness than tho^e brotight from a higher latitude. Even where it is not desirable to ter into this as a regular business, there is scarcely a farmer owning land who conld not by proper management ar range to raiso a colt or two, and this once accomplished, ho would b$ Aston ished At the ease with whifch it has been done and the small outlay it has cost him. I have now a valuable three-year-old, tho raising of which has cost me scarcely a dollar. Indeed, Were I to begin to cal culate how much sho has cost, I would say, nothing, except the attentiofi, be cause her food was raised on the farm and would havo b£en consumed there; in plainer worths, Bhe represents what would otherwise have been wasted. Understand, I do not at present urge the raising of stock on a large scale, ex cept where necessary preparations have been made, because wnero one goes into this as a regular business there are several requisites which are absolutely necessary to success, and if these, or even one or two of these, are lacking, failuro is almost certain to follow. I was recently talking with a gentle man who was well posted and who had been an enthusiast on this subject. He owned a largo tract of land, five thor sand acres, ia one of the best portions o. this state, a large part of it in fine Ber muda pasture. He bought sixty mares, hired the necessary labor for their at tention, and fitted np his place with all tho appointments for a first-class stock farm. But ho forgot one thing: that thd class of labor which can plod along in the corn and cottQn fields is not, un less nnder the m6st careful and watch ful direction, capable of atttending to the duties of a stock farm. Tho negro is frften cruel to and careless of his own mule or horse, and when trusted with those belonging to others is, with hon- i, not< orable exceptions, notoriously brutal. In this case the owner lost a jack * which ho had paid $1,000, shot bi negro foreman, who honestly thought he was doing his employer a valuable ser vice in thus saving a plaf e worth $100.
