I will appreciate the sup port of the yotep of Thomas county. Respectfully, George W. Howard. BOSTON TO CAIRO. (From the Baton Time*:) We publish io another column an ad dress from the "Hew County Executive Committee.” By what authority they arrogate to themselves ibis office up- pearatb not. By all doonments to which srd bare been given access the county of ‘torady” existeth only in the fertile imaginations of our Cairo friends, nor do we yet tee any good reason for its future existence. The ‘,'New County Executive Committee” expatiates at length upon eighty years' servitude, which they seem to think entitles them to loctl independence now. It strikes ns that they have been iu "mighty good oompany” for these lamented eighty years, and would not better themselves by secession, nor does it ap. pear that a majority of the citizens of the proposed county desire to be out off from old Thomas and Decatur. We have only the "Executive Committee's” word for it, Several days ago the.Tns*s-EsTER- PROT predicted that J. P. Brown of Hawkinsville would be a candidate for governor of Georgia. It seems that Mr. Brown has mads op his mind to that end, for the following dispatch wac sent out yesterday,by Chat. H- Evans from Atlanta under date of Feb. 23. "Hon. J. Pope Brown is a candidate for Govern nor of Georgia. "What is termed as the "anti-ring, or anti-corporation” element in Georgia politics have been for sometime survey ing the field and oonsideringSseveral gentlemen with a view of selecting a candidate for governor, and that the big farmer from Pulaski will be acceptable to them is generally conceded. "Mr. Brown has been here sevoral days attending the Southern Cotton As sociation Convention and a-good many of the leaders of the "anti-corporation" element have been In the city conferring with him, and in fact were in confer ence until a late hour last night. “Your correspondent, in an Interview with with some of the leaders this morn ing, was Ensured that Mr. Brown wcnld be a candidate and given their support One of these gentlemen said: "It the politicians of the state will only put their ear to the gn und, they will eatoli the political current, for iliere is no donbf that it it running to the cotton fields of the big farmer in Pulaski ” '•Hr. Brown, says these gentlemen, will give ont his platform in detail in a short timo, which will be in keeping with his policy on the Railroad Commis sion and in harmony with what is term- edthe anti-ring” sentiment in Georgia,” ' and we certainly know there are some of the best people in opposed to "Grady "Grady county’ oonnty.” Several of their arguments appear un sound to us, but we have uot space this week t> dissect them, and the subject has'bee quite exhaustively analyzed by our contemporaries for the past several days.

No Christian and civilized community can afford to show a hsppy go-lucky look of oonoern for the youth of today; tor. if to, the community will liave to pay a terrible penalty of. financial bur den and zoclal degradation in the to morrow. There zhonld be severe child labor and factory inspection laws. 11 is very desirable that married women should uot work in factories. The prime dnty of the mao Is to work, to bo the breadwinner; the priuio dnty of the woman-ls to bo tliq mother, the house wife. All of tariff and flnanoe sink in to utter insignificance when compared with tho tremendous, tho vital import ance of trying to shape conditions so that those two duties of the man and of the woman can be fulfilled under rea sonable circumstance,. If a race does not havo plenty of children, or if the child ran do not grownp, or if when they grow up they are unhealthy in body and stunted or vicious In mind, then that no, Is decadent, and no heaping up of wealth, no splendor of momentary ma terial prosperity, can avail in any de gree ai offsets —President's Message Of MORE POINTS Amongttw various institutions whose happiness and success are affected by the proposed new oonnty question is the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance do. This institution lias had a splendid career. It has enabled the farm-rs of Thomas ccunty to obtain insurance on their property at almost nothing. It has been patronized by the beat people, and time and'again has wired a good map or a dependent widow from financial ruin. This oompany is distinctly a Thomas county institution, no property outside the county is accepted for protection, It is a home affair that every man ooght to be proad of. It keeps at home money that wonld otherwise go to the northern money oenters and it enables people to obtain protection that are not financially able to obtain it in old line companies The Farmers' Mutual carries aboat ISOHOOO in the district that wonld be cut off if Grady oountr become* a realized fact. The lott of thiz support would so weaken the company as to most probably end itz existence. Today under the management of President Spangler, and Seoretary.Robt Alexander, the oompany is as solid as the prover bial Book of Gibraltar. Haro then, is another phase of the question that tho pooptsof Gairo and Spanoo districts will do wail to tsaarina. Tho report of Gen. R. U. Thomason on the Manassas maneuvers last Sep tember has just been made public. As was expected, the report severely rape Gen. Barry, of the U S. army, for his criticism of one of the Georgia provis ional regiments. Gen. Berry commanded the army to which the Georgia regiment command ed by Ool. Anderson was attached. Ool. Anderson's. men were to badly worn ont by the last day of the maneuvers that they had to ask permission to pass op the grand review. Gen. Barry criti cized ‘the regiment for not getting in tho review. Hiz criticism was sustained by a number of outsido officers, and seemed to have at least a good founda tion. The othor Georgia roglmont, of which tho Thomuville Guards made a part, was oommanded by Ool. T. N. Hop kins, of Thomaivtlte, and they got into the review without troub'e. Daring the time of the "war” news paper reports had it that Ool. Hopkins had been supplanted in his oommand by a regular army officer Gen. Thoma son sustain) the denial that was made just after the report got out. He pre cents a letter from the brigade adjutant general to Lleatenant Colonel Hopkins Informing 1dm that the regular army ollloer who had been assigned to his regiment was sent for the sole purpoeo of acting as a guide during the maneu vers, und that the command of the regtmont still remained with Lieuten ant Colonel Hopkins. General Thomason quotes the follow ing extract from the report of Col. Hop kins on the maneuvers: “It was a pleasure to note the calm ness and intelligence of tho officers and men on the firing line. The detraining record of this command was must ex cellent.” The general concludes his report with a recommendation that tno State As sembly and the general public ought to give more attention to the military. He cites the foot that the annonl appropria tion of twenty to thirty thousand dol lars it smaller proportionally than the military appropriation of any other State in the Union. Gen. Thomason is receiring congratu lations on the wisdom of his recommen dations and the general excellence of ilia report, though his attack on Gen.. Barry is not keatraUy ooantenanoed in military circles. Such criticism of a tuptrior officer it not military etiquette, and oan hardly be hoped to accomplish any good. Meigs News, Continued.
