The larger cities will receive great benefits thereby. Congressman Blount, of the Sixth district, is tho prime mover of this fast moil project, and to him many thanks arc due.”’ “Our neighbor, the Dodge County Journal, has been sadly imposed upon by some one. Congressman Blount has steadily opjiosed every ef¬ fort to give Macon and Middle Geor¬ gia a fast mail service, as tho Con¬ gressional Record and tho files of this paper will establish. Moreover, ho has occupied the positiou ol chairman of tho lions© committee on post-offices aud post-roads for two years, and eouhl with ease at almost any mo¬ ment during that time havo secured for this section mail faciltics enjoyed by other business centers and com¬ peting points. “Macon and middle Georgia owe to Congressman Blount’s opposition to a fast mail three years discrimination by which Florida and the Georgia coast section have enjoyed from six to tem lronrs advantage in business with the North. “The service now promised is the result of newspaper showings and de¬ mands. If Congressman Blount ha» been driven into an acquiescence with what could not havo decently been postponed longer,, wc are glad to re¬ cord the fact. Tho claim that he was “the prime mover in this fast mail project” is a piece of gall that seems to have overwhelmed a country editor, but no one else up to date.” Now, Bro. Telegraph, wo object to being dealt witli in this patronizing, exasperating manner. *ru neither our fault nor our mis¬ fortune that wo occupy the humble position of a country cdiior, who modestly relates tho news of the day, Father than that of tho prominent Ishmaelitc, against every man, with every man’s hand against him, and from tho stinging venom of whose malignant pen no one is safo; whose whole being, soured and embittered against mankind, has resolved itself intc one vast vinegar cruet to be emp¬ tied forth indiscriminately upon an un¬ protected world ; whose sneering sar¬ casm abounds on every hand, aud whose caustic remarks are applied to the commendable efforts of every one with whom lie disagrees \ who never acknowledges an error; who invaria¬ bly buys on tho wrong side of the market, and ties to it, until it has be¬ come proverbial that “ho, who differs with tho Macon Telegraph, is usually correct, and the world at large re¬ quires no stronger evidence that he is traveling in proper paths,” conse¬ quently, the bare assertion that Mr. Blount or anyone else has been forced to alter his course by the showing of “this paper” is a most fearful judg¬ ment to pass, and although the coun¬ try editor, whose tender and suscepti¬ ble heart is filled with the milk of hu¬ man kindness, is not insensible to the Effictions of the unfortunate, still it !* not his purpose to fly to the roscuo of Mr. Blount, he is perfectly able to take care of himself, and needs no support. However, with all due def¬ erence to tho city editor, seated on the pinnacle of notoriety—in the ab soneo of fame—wo would remark, by way of parentheses,that Che Congress¬ ional Record docs not show any such eouditiou of affairs as is intimated in the foregoing article, and as to what *the file# of this paper will establish,” Indicates uothing. It is related that on a cortalu occasion, in open court, au attorney, whose case was defaulted for nou-appcarauco of counsel, gave as au excuse for abseucc, that ho had noticed the caso in the Macon Tele¬ graph, as set tor a later day than that for which It was marked on the cal¬ endar. The learned and kind-hearted judge beamed benlgnantly on the de¬ linquent, expressed his pity for the mental coudltion of anyone who sought facts from the columns of this sheet, and reopened the case on the ground of sympathy for tho lawyers intellectual weakness. Again, Bro. Telegraph, w© protest against your sliuging these intolerant lordly airs around our ears; wo are not “overwhelmed” with anyone. It is quito possible that yon have been blowing your own praises about tho greatness and goodness of your paper, until you now regard it as a trucism, aud actually believe it yourself, aud bccomc 40 Impressed with your importance that you have ac¬ cepted the self-imposed task of regu¬ lating tho world by your own crcay timepiece, If so, for God sake, spare the simple unsophlstocated country editor, whose remoteness from Pas¬ tier, causes him to dread your dead¬ ly bite. THE HERMIT OF THE AUCHEE-HATCHEE. BY “QUINCY.” [Wo are kindly permitted by the author to publish the advance sheets of the following South original Georgia local story, written for the Immi¬ grant:—E d.] Truth, it is said, is sometimes stran¬ ger than fiction. A parallelism'of thought leads me to say that we arc often next door to a romance or a trag¬ edy, if wc only knew it. In fact, as life is more or less what our experi¬ ences make it, and as one individual will pass through scenes and incidents full of vividness and thrill, and feel neither, whilst another will appreciate the same in the intensity of feeling, we arc almost justified in concluding that there is a faculty cultivated or dormant, in all of us, of realization.— Whoever reads this recital will belong to one of these classes. If I knew to which you belonged, gentle reader,’ I would tell you whether to go on, or to read something else. As it is, you must take the risk. I had been confined to my room in that dearest ol towns to me, Quincy. Ills.; our good old doctor had visited me daily for a fortnight, and I had taken his potions faithfully. He said I had a “ bronchial difficulty”'—I don’t know what that is, but since then 1 have met a great many people who said their physicians said they had i the same. They cough a great deal. I did. The doctor said I would get no better there at home, and that he was going to send me “to the pines.” I was packed into a slecping-car, and in three days thereafter found myself one morning in a vast hotel in the centre of tho wiregrass belt of Georgia. Here fortune favored me at least, in bringing in the interest of his wile’s health to the same place, Prof. Redmond. He hold no such ti¬ tled position as Professor in any school or institution, but this was the prefix we all gave him—the why for so doing will appear further on. Coming ©tit on tho verandah, 1 heard him call my name. “Here I am,” was the reply, “and ready lor a tramp.” He was well, nay, robust; and being much improved of the “bronchial” fuss, the only trouble, we did long fail to tire of lawn-tennis, croquet, bil'iiards, and that common pastime of people who have their time on their hands at health resorts, of saying the same platitudes about the weather, to say nothing of that ques¬ tionable habit of comparing symp¬ toms. Day after day we had gone forth on the different roads leading to the brisk little town, and becoming familiar with these, extended our incursions up and down the neighborhood routes; became familiar with tho farming pop¬ ulation and their modes of husband¬ ry ; beheld the working of the great lumber manufactories adjacent, and studied in its details the art of mak¬ ing, in vast quantities, that familiar and useful article, the oil of turpen¬ tine. With increasing experience we gained self-confidence, and lost much of what afflicts and limits tho recrea¬ of tho average tourist in the South—tho fear of getting lost. Red¬ mond, who had spent much of his life the White Mountains studying ge¬ ology, had tho spirit of an explorer and with a mutual inclination our ex ploratioii8 became daily more extend¬ ed. At first wc made our trips and got in by the dinner hour of 3 p. m., but lately we went with luncheon- in our satchels; he with an ironwood that he prized very highly, and I with a light sporting rifle, wo now often mado our entrance at the threshold the hotel at deep twilight, or the hour later tea time. In the study of the fauna and flora, Redmond found in me a helpful co¬ worker. Oft times I winged for him a radiant plumaged songster and brought it to his eager hands, alive, and capable, under good bird surgery, of recovery. Again, when tho shot was fatal, ho brought to boar tho pa¬ tient skill of the taxidermist, that he might add another specimen to his collection at his far away home. Thus employed, wc had been attracted more than once to the woods and waters a large creek, which was, at the point nearest us, almost a small river. Here apon cloan and lcaf-eovercd sand drifts, beautiful forests’of evergreens, oaks, laurels, old-man’s-beard, and magnolias—royal ir» their wealth of beauty and freshness, broke in strik¬ ing contrast upon tho everlasting mo¬ notony ot the pines. Of course we were inquisitive, anu “low-land or high-land,” who, under the stars and stripes, is not? We found responsive listeners toourmany questions, especially from tho wonder loving people “in black.” From time to time we heard snatches of a queer story of an old man who lived iu a secluded hammock upon the banks of this quaint and sluggish stream; who was the conservator of a tradi¬ tion that explained the origin of the romantic Indian name given by the map-makers to it, aud much more of ji teres t to the lover* of the wild end With this clue, whet could be engaging than to go, with such as Redmond, on some pleasant day, search and find the her* mit, and from his own withered lip*, and in his quaint vernacular, hear his .story, and return in triumph to repeat it to the habitues of the house at our “morning report.” TUB EXCURSION. Finally on a lovely day in April we sallied forth, starting early aud ex¬ pecting to return by nightfall. Three miles of brisk walking brought the color to our cheeks, and our feet to the bridge that spanned the creek. Here wc crossed and turned our steps upward and westward.— Filled with tho healthful inspiration that comes from breathing the dry and bracing air of this blessed clime, enhanced by the excitement that ever attends adventurous change, we went on exulting; buoyant anddr earning not of disaster, until pur road grew* dim, uncertain, and finally lost and traceless. Some time had been spent in the capture of one or two rare spec¬ imens of the feathered tribe, and (he inevitable comment on the genus and species of which it might b© a proba¬ ble representative, by my naturalistic companion. It was our intention to follow the course of the stream towards its source; for a range shepherd had told us that if wc kept up stream that we would certainly cross at right angles a path, which, taking it to the left, wonld lead us in the vicinity of the hermit’s cabin. That we might know we were going right we would cross a lagoon on a foot-log, and that this was the boundary on one side of his “island-home.” As we traveled far¬ ther and farther from the habitations of man, game became more and more abundant; and with the prospect of adding to the regimen of the Sanita¬ rium the trophies of the chase—wild turkey and gray squirrel,—all thought of time and space was temporarily lost. Our watehes and our keen ap¬ petites now reminded us that the bet¬ ter part of the day was gone, and its work only fairly begun. By reason of anoccasianal tributary the stream of which the meandering* we were trying to pursue, wc had lost our reckoning; for their swamps were dense and impassable near their en¬ trance into tho main stream, and re¬ quired us to go far to the northward to pass them. The middle of the af¬ ternoon found ns still wandering in an unknown country. “Well, let’s cat and try it again;” exclaimed Redmond in a tone the least bit fretful. While wo w'ere at luncheon the friendly face of a shepherd dog greet¬ ed us. Soon wc ncard the footsteps of a horse, and a man in search of his lambs gazed with startled look upon us. He told us wc had passed the route that led into the hermit’s hut. Once more we received explicit in¬ structions how to find it, aud, failing in this, how to get back to the public road. He gave us the good advice, however, to abandon the enterprise entirely for the present. This whole¬ some counsel wc did not take, though, for the spirit of adventure was still dominant. Alas, for us! “Tho best laid plans of men and mice oft gang aglec.” An hour later wc siw the sun de¬ clining behind the western horizon, and realized for the first time that we were lost. For once our thirst for something sensationial was appealed. We had been for weeks in a moder¬ ately enthusiastic search for adven¬ tures. The prospect of going to bod without our suppers In these solitudes, and not even the poor cheer of a pine knot fire, was a grain too much for our philosophy. I felt a thrill of deep anxiety in my breast, and the Profes¬ sor’s faoc was unmistakably a little care-worn. What a furor our non appearance would create at the Hotel, where a few dames generally playing chaperon to some youthful guest or patient, were ever on the alert for something to generate a commotion.— Tragic ondings of bright and promis¬ ing lives in the Alps, or White Moun¬ tains of our owncountrj', of which I had known under circumstances some¬ what similar, passed iu review. In emergencies tho ruling passion comes forth in great strength. Red¬ mond drew upon his acquaintance with natural phenomena at once. Said he, I have observed that the aerial currents when in motion at the hotel are generally from tho north¬ west. He held up a piece ot tissue paper and it floated away to the south¬ east. It is the same here. At the dipper is to our right hand— there it is pointing 6kyward—now with the points of the compass made out, and knowing also, that at this point the stream runs from west to east, it is too evident that we cannot reach the public road by going this way, for of course it is in the opposite direction, and thither we will turn our steps. After this council of safe¬ ty, in which by tacit consent the Pro¬ fessor was chairman, we both felt bet¬ ter; and the pleasant consciousness of having done the best available that always comes of organized effort. (CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.) The Great Eastern, the largest ship in the world, was sold a few days ago, and brought only $130,OCX),or le-ath: s half of what it cost to launch her.— Though answering every expectation of its designer, it proved a financial failure, and uever paid expenses. WATERMELONS. As a matter of possible interest to a man who contemplates residing and farming in this partof our country, we remark that there is no crop more easi¬ ly made or more likely to hit well than watermelons. A piece of new ground, or an old field, cither, will answer. An acre will make enough for any family, and a treat now and then to all their neigh¬ bors. This, too, be it understood, takes into the calculation that they are to be eaten in old-fashion Southern style; each person is to have half a melon, lengthwise—no slicing. No! in the name of our most precious tra¬ ditions, don’t ask us to eat melons with you, and then go to slicing. The ground being thoroughly, deep¬ ly broken, lay off the rows ten feet each way, and excavate a hole at the crossing about ten inches deep aud three feet square. Into this pnt a half bushel of stable or lot manure, mixed, or not, with cotton seed, or a pint of commercial fertilizer. Earth over this three inches deep, and leave the hole nicely rounded. In the first week of April, having soaked your seed for a night, plant four seed to the hill, by pushing each seed down with your finger and filling up the hole left by the finger. As soon as they arc two or three leaves large, plow the ground, after the sun is up and the young vines are dry. Don’t dust aud dirt a melon vine when the dew is on it. In two weeks sweep around them again with a common sweep plow, and after each plowing hoe all the spaces around the plants left by the plow', earthing up and widening the hills.— Avoid handling the vines or throwing dirt on them with the plow'. By this time the vines arc too long to plow any more, but yon may hoe the spaces left until the vines arc so thick that there arc no spaces left. There are a great many plantings that arc earlier than w'e have mentioned, but the mel¬ ons are always inferior in taste to thoso planted later. The w'atermclon revels in hot weather; it stands moderate drought well; does badly in very wet weather. Planted thus, they come off in the latter part of July and August. They do well also planted later, and it is better to plant some part of the crop later, for the longer you cat them the more you wish for them, and it is healthful to eat them any time when you are w armer than is perfectly com¬ fortable. Strange as it may seem, to careless observers, the full advent of the melon season diminishes the num¬ ber of eases of dysentery in this sec¬ tion. w T hilc it may be true at the same time that the excessive eating of them may produce a harmless and painless diarrhoea; though this latter is less and less observed as the season ad¬ vances. A certain amount of experience seems to bo necessary to make a finan¬ cial success of raising melons to sell in large quantities for Northern mar¬ kets. We have men along this road who know' how to plant and ship by the car-load, and when and where, to make money. They never fail to eome out ahead. Others scarcely get back the freight expenses. In our immediate tow'n and vicinity there is a ready market for all the sur¬ plus of the small patches. A nice looking melon brings from 10 cents to 35 cents from the cart on the street— according to the season and the abund¬ ance on hand. Everybody eats them, at all times of the day, and some every day from the time they become plentiful till they cannot be had any longer. They are good for all, but a luxury that the poorest in this land can afford to in¬ dulge, in the most prodigal style. Harris Fisher. Eastman, Ga., March 14,1887. THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE. Of the Southern people, Georgians are regarded as the most practical and enterprising. They really possess many of the good elements of both North and South. As an example wc point to our well-known author and humorist, “Bill Arp,” who is a compo¬ nent of Massachusetts and South Car¬ olina—his father coming from Massa¬ chusetts and his mother from South Carolina, and Major Smith is known to be a good man, and a genial, clever Georgian. The Georgian has much common sense, and power of adaptation to cir¬ cumstances. His speculative view's yield readily to the practical; put him on his mettle, and he is apt to succeed. There is a good deal of candor in his composition, and he is generally sen¬ sible, observant, energetic. Georgians, in the general aspect of all qualities combined, are unsurpass¬ ed. They may be lacking in some qual¬ ities possessed by others, but they have a just and balanced character; and their judgment of men and conduct is excellent. Gn the whole, the English are not to be surpassed for manliness. Iu the United States, no finer type of Eng¬ lish manhood is to be found than in Virginia. Her statesmen and people have evinced this in many ways. They have a just, honest character—manly, noble, generous and able. Their man¬ ners are natural, expressing their true character; not 6harp, nor narrow, but broad, open, collected, practical and thoughful. The dominant element of the population aud civilization of Georgia was derived from Virginia. Our public men have had this bias.— Public honesty w as untarnished; dur- ing the present century up to the end of the war, there were no defalcations in office, was little public debt and no peculation. Any account of the character of Georgians would be greatly lacking in individuality which did not refer to a somewhat rude and blunt inde pendence, persistent perseverance and self-reliance, which characterizes them peculiarly, They are content with iheir own convictions, with little re¬ gard to authority or precedents, and proceed to pttt them into action. A Lesson In Exchange. San Francisco Chronicle. It was in the days of the early rail¬ road, when it was yet new; tho days when the journey to New York was less of a little journey than it is now ; when greenbacks were not popular in California. One summer morning a man, walking in happy, but feverish haste, with wild excitement beaming o -er his face, stepped into the office of a well-known banker. “I want exchange for this |on New York.” “All right. What is it?” The man looked fearfully around him, and then brought out a package. “ It’s $25,000 in greenbacks.” “I guess I can do it. Going cast ?” “Yes; I’m going to-morrow. I don't want to carry all this with me. Could not do it. Sure to get robbed. So let me have a draft. How much ?” “Oh, seeing it’s jou, one per cent; 1250-” “It goes.” So the banker made out a draft on New York and took the money. “You arc going to-morrow, are you ?” “Yes.” “Would you mind taking a small parcel for me and handing it to my brother ?” “Certainly. I’ll do it with pleasure.’ The banker went into the other room and presently came back with the parcel. “Don’t lose it, please. Put it in your valise, will you ?** “I’ll take the best care of it.” “Thank you. Good-by. Pleasant trip.” Arriving in New York, the Califor¬ nian went to the address and deliver¬ ed tho package. Then he presented his draft. The man opened the pack¬ age and gave him the identical $35, 000 in greenbacks he had in San Fran¬ cisco. Ac had carried them all the way himself. Very Glad t. See William. W. J. Cooper left his wife on his farm in Yell county, Ark., in 1863,and joined the Confederate army. Shortly afterward he was captured by the Union forces, and sent to Illinois, but he escaped and returned to Yell coun¬ ty to see his wife. She had left the farm about two months after her husband joined the army, and gone no one knew where. Cooper then became a tramp, and he has since visited most every country on this continent. One day last week ho wandered into Shiloh, Ark., where he was surprised by seeing his wife standing on the steps of one of the houses beckoning h»m to come to her. Subsequently he learned that his wife had ventured upon the sea of matri¬ mony threo times since she left the farm in Yell county. The first two husbands died, and she secured a di¬ vorce Irom the third. She was very glad to sec William. The First on Record! •o I am now running a first-class’ grocery from a second-class stock.
