Bin vs nil n BARTOW MAM QUITS POSING AS A “REFORMER.” LOVE’S LABOR SEEMS TO BE LOST. No Use Further Trying: to Enlighten Northern Feople Concerning the Negro’s Condition. I’ve sworn off again. These Boston people make me so tired. It seems impossible to make a lasting impres sion upon them. From time to time we have sent our best men there. We sent General Gordon and Colquitt and Henry Grady, and they were well re ceived, amt we thought our Georgia missionaries had converted them, but in a little while they had. a relapse. Governor Northeu thinks he has con verted all but the editors, but my ob servation is that editors control the animus of the people, and if they are against us their readers will be. I notice that some of their editors are easy on our governor, bntnone of them have apologized. They have got to repent and apologizo before we will be satisfied with their conversion. This thing of going up to the altar and shaking hands is played out. They liked to have shpok Henry Gra dy’s arm off, but in a few months they took it all back and went to abusing us again about the negro. It is very discouraging to a missionary to have to keep on convertingthe same heathen. I notice that one of their papers lets ns down sorter easy on Sam Hose,.but •wants to know what about the lynch ing of Lige Strickland. That’s all right. Give us something hard. Lige was a preacher in Meriwether county, and his father-in-law, Aaron Watson, says he was the meanest nigger in the county, that he beat his wife up scan dalously and out and gashed her with a butcher-knife and the members of his own church took him out one night and gave him a hundred lashes and told him to leave the county. Then he settled down in Coweta and turned politician and made himself generally a disturber of public peace and good order, and finally capped the climax by denouncing the white people and defending Sam Hose. The general opinion is that Lige got off pretty well, for they didn’t burn him. The Boston Transcript says we are “a generation behind the times, in fact several New England generations be hind it.” How is that? Why, it liaseut been 200 years since New England was burning innocent, harmless women for being witches. It liasent been 50 years since Boston merchants were shipping rum to Africa to buy Negroes to sell again to slave countries. Long after Massachusetts set her slaves free her merchants carried on the slave trade. Joseph Story, the great jurist, charged the grand jury "in Boston and said: “The slave trade is still carried on among us with implicable ferocity. Avarice has grown more subtle in its evnsions of the law. Its appetite is quickened rather than suspended. Our citizens are steeped up to their very mouths in this iniquity.” W. W. Story, his gifted son, says: “The Boston newspapers denounced my father, and said that a judge who would deliver such a charge ought to be hurled from the bench,” and he says further, that “the fortunes of many men of prominence were invest ed in this infamous business. When slavery disappeared in New England the African slave trade took on new life, and was winked at. A man might, have position in society and be consid ered a gentleman and a Christian, while his ships were freighted with a human cargo and his commerce was in the blood and pain of his fellow crea tures. Many of the largest fortunes in Boston were the Idood money of the slave trade and eatoe from tho sale of the wretched cargoes of negroes that survived the horrors of their transpor tation across the seas.” Yes, we are behind that sort of busi ness several generations. But I’ve sworn off. The history of Massachusetts fatigues my indigna ♦ion. Here are our negroes who would be happy and contented if the north ern press would quit stirring up dis content and telling them lies. If old Mother Julia Ward Howe, who is now in her eighty-first year and ought to have an old woman’s sense, was to drop down here in Cartersvillc, she would see some young bucks wrestling on the depot platform while waiting for freight, and she would hear the merry laugh of a score of negro dray men who stood around. She would hear the sound of the colored school bell. She would pass and repass negro women with baskets of clothes on their heads nnd a smile on their faces. She would see negro girls, clad in clean garments, nursing white children and watching them with tender care. If there was a funeral on hand she would see a happy gathering of women and girls, daughters of Zion, foil nvinc the hearse, nnd if there was a railroad ex oursion on hand the depot would be crowded with both sexes nnd all sorts and f-xes. Then we would escort her carefully to the baseball ground and let. her see the young bucks piny nnd bear them shout and give the negro yell for victory, But, she is too old to be cured. I remember when she published an abolition paper in 1847. But, pshaw, it wouldn’t do any good, so I will swear off. Somebody said that, if a woman was a fool at forty she would be fonI nnUI Khe And some else said convince a woman her will and she will be of the same opinion still. And the parable says, “\f they will not believe Moses and the prophets,. noither would they believe tho’ one should rise from the dead.” And so I will Rwear off for good and let those Boston Pharisees die in their 6wn conceit. The Massa chusetts state board of charities says in their annual report, “And now we find that there is hardly a country in the civilized world where atrocious and flagrant crime is so common as in Massachusetts.” Well,that settles it. Georgia has but two white women in her prisons, while Massachusettea haR 134. In 1890, Georgia had 214 white con victs, while Massachusetts had 4,412, and Mr. Stetson says that in one year there were 65,000 arrests in the state, and that divorces increase there twice ns fast as population, and not more than eight families in ten have pre served tho purity and honor of the marriage relation. How is that for living in glass houses? Yes, I reckon that we are behind them several generations. I hope so. But I’ve sworn off until they repent and apologize. card of I*. 8.—I have just read the my friend, Mr. Metcalf, about Mr. Lincoln and his mother, Nancy Hanks, and am gratified at his statement. Nevertheless, Mr. Cathey makes out a good case in his little book, and it is generally credited by the leading North Carolina journals. So let the investigation go on. In the meantime to save myself trouble and postal cards, let those who want the book send 60 cents to B. H. Cathey, Bry son City, N. C.— Bill Aki> in Atlanta Constitution. PEACE JUBILEE INAUGURATED, •Ilf Demonstration at National Capital Witnessed by Thousands. Beginning with an imposing parade of military and other uniformed organ izations, and closng with a display of fireworks at night, Washington inaug urated a three days’ peace jubilee Tuesday. The main tliouglifares of the city and all the public buildings are decorated with bunting, and active programme of parades and festivities has drawn a large number of visitors. Over 5,000 men were in the parade. The route was that followed by the inauguration parades, down Pennsyl vania avenue, nround the treasury and in front of the white house grounds, where a large reviewing stand, grace fully decorated with bunting, had been erected. The three squares extend ing from the state, war and navy to the treasury building had been trans formed into a court of honor. General Joe Wheeler had no trouble about his carriage on this occasion. He was the most conspicuous feature of the military parade. He rode in one of the handsomest carriages iu Washington, and the crowd all along the route of the procession gave him continuous ovation, and the occupants of the president’s stand, including the president, gave the gallant little officer a great demonstration. THE MERCEDES IN PORT. Captured ^paniidi Cruiser Causes a Great Demonstration at Norfolk. Amidst, the booming of cannon and the. screaming of steam whistles from tugs, bay steamers and oeeau liners the captured Spanish cruiser Reiua Mercedes arrived in port at Norfolk, Ya., Saturday afternoon, and nccom fmning her was a flotilla of thirty-six tugs, all profusely decorated iu flags. Gannon saluted as she was towed through the harbor and the tug boats , kept their whistles in an almost con tinuous scream from the time she rounded Lambert's Point until the navy yard was reached. It was a perfect din, as noisy a wel come as could possibly bo desired. Thousands of people witnessed the procession through the harbor, they being all along the water front on both sides of the river and upon housetops. The Mercedes was saluted by every passing steamer and acknowledged each greeting by a blast of her whistle. When the prize was made fast to the wharf she was turned over to the United States government, Captain Seymour', local agent of the Merritts, receiving x receipt for the vessel.

The loca tion of the flourishing town, Logans ville, is involved, and it is claimed that the town belongs to Gwinnett in stead of to Walton county. population of Logansville has a about 600 and since the opening of the new railroad through Lawrence ville has taken on new life and shows evidence of prosperity and rapid growth. It is said that the people of Logansville hope to be thrown on the Gwinnett side of the line, as tkey have railroad communication with Lawrenceville, the county seat of Gwinnett, but have none to Monroe, the county seat of "Walton. * * * Foul Flay Suspected. The relatives in Atlanta of Alexius Balk, who died in Havana several months ago, have been informed that suspicious circumstances surrounding his death indicate foul play, and they are doing all in their power to bring the guilty parties to justice. Mr. Balk was well known in Atlanta, having been conncted with a prominent firm in that city as traveling salesman. Harmony Prevails. The last semblance of discord be tween the Consolidated Street Railway Company and the Traction Company at Atlanta was done away with when cases 36 aud 37, known as the Atlanta Street railway cases, on the docket of the supreme court, were formally dis missed by request of attorneys for both companies. The two’ cases were among the first to be placed on the docket of the Atlanta circuit, but were subsequently moved to the heel of the docket. Governor Invited to Banquet. Governor Candler and the members of his staff have been invited to attend a banquet in Athens during the com ing university commencement, to be given by the three members of the staff in that city.

UNDER FLAG OF TRUCE. Filijtino Cflmmlsfiioners Escorted Back To Hebei Fines. The Filipino commissioners left Ma nila Thursday by special train and were escorted to tbeir lines under a flag of truce. It is expected that they will return soon. President Gonzaga, of the Philip pine commission, said: “We greatly appreciate the courtesy shown us. We have spent some time with your commissioners, incidentally considering the American -constitution. Its principles impress us profoundly. “The plan of government offered the Philippines seems in theory a good colonial system. But why should a nation with your constitution seek to make a colony of a distant people who have been so long fighting against Spain to seeurc the same rights your constitution gives? You fought the same battle in America when you fought against England.” MACON JUSTICE INDICTED. Is Charged "With Collecting; Double Costs. His Bailiff* Included. A dispatch from Macon, Ga., says: It will be satisfaction for Colonel Pat rick Henry Ray when he learns that the justice of the peace who caused him so much trouble just at the end of his residence in Macon, is himself in hot waier, the grand jury having found a true bill against him.

GREAT SPEECH BY MR. BROBSTON. Wealth of Her Industrie*, Mine* and Quarries are Beyond Computation. (From the Augusta Chronicle.) One of Georgia’s representatives at the Southern Pines, N. C., meeting in April, was Mr. Edwin Brobston, of Brunswick, who has been a most ac tive worker in the cause of southern development, and who has reaped some of the most notable results in the state. Mr. Brobston was a member of the commission in charge of Georgia’s ex hibit at the Omaha exposition, and lent valuable service in this enter prise. located of the most notable He one colonies that has ever been brought south. Through him the Shakers, of Ohio, the quaint but most upright peo ple who work a community of interests, having been induced to locate in Geor gia. Brobston remained at the Mr. Southern Pines meeting several days, and as a result is in correspondence with a number of northern gentlemen who are looking to the south for in vestments. Following is his speech in I appreciate the honor of being in this distinguished presence and the privilege of talking about Georgia. , I would not discredit the most ex travagant charms claimed for other fair sisters of our bright southland, nor shall I discredit anything that may be claimed by others for their state or section. I would not give three cents for any man that is not loyal to his section, loyal to his family aud loyal to his faith. Georgia is my queen; to her I owe allegiance, and in her greatness aud possibilities I find a theme that is en gaging at a time I }nke it to be auspi cious. She is a dear old mother who has been kind and loving to me, and wherever I may be and whatever the occasion, I could not be less than loy al and loving to her. Georgia has 58,000 square miles stretching from the grand mountains of the Blue Ridge, 400 miles to the southward, where the blue waves of the Atlantic are ever kissing her island-gemmed shores. Rich in minerals, rich in forests of timber, rich in water power and won derfully rich in climate, she is keep ing time to the drum-beat of prosper ity; that prosperity which seems to have again taken up its march around the world. From her rugged mountains and hills are being taken some of the best coal that burns, and some of the finest ore that goes to the furnace, they tell me that the highest grade ore which is received at Birmingham, Ala.,comes from a Georgia mine; some of the pur est gold that is minted is mined in Georgia, and our annual output is something like a quarter of a million dollars. We carry to the mint each year more than $100,000. The finest beds of aluminum found in America are in the Coosa valley, and nowhere is it in such paying quantities as found in Georgia. As evidence of its value the Engineer and Mining Journal of April 15th, quotes Georgia baxite at $5.10 at the mines, while Alabama Rockrun is only quoted at $3.85. in Georgia We have enough granite to pave every street in this union, and probably enough to pave every street in the world. Why, in sight of the city of Atlanta is one mass of granite which is seven miles in circumference aud a mile high; it is put down in Cram’s as one of the world’s wonders. There are beds of granite underlying many counties in the central and upper portions of the state. We have enough marble in Georgia to build all the palaces for all the rulers that will ever live, and some of it as fine as any on the face of the earth; the census of 1880 did not reckon us as a marble producing state, and we even built our own capital of Indiana limestone, yet we stand tcS’day at the head of the list, and the capitol of Rhode island in the northeast and the capitol of Minnesota in the north west stand as mammoth advertise ments of the resources of our state, while the St. Charles hotel in New Or leans illustrates better than words can tell, the beauty and fineness and finish of our most beautiful marble. We have copper mines and slate quar ries, and finest beds of clay; one coun ty in Georgia ships over $10,000 worth of clay annually to the pottery works of new Jersey. We have magnificent deposits of limestone, and the cement that is used does not all come Chicago or Louisville now, for we have discovered beds of it in Georgia; it is being shippid-in great quanti ties and of the finest quality. Nearly every mineral that is known has been discovered in more or less quantities in Georgia and the extent of ndne has ns yet been fully determined; we are yet in experimental stages. The agricultural resources of the state are something wonderful, practi cally every variety of soil and climate is found in the state, and in perhaps no other state can be grown such a di versity of crops. Well nigh every thing that will grow on this continent can be raised in Georgia. From the winter wheat and clover, and buck wheat of the mountainous hills, to the rice and cane, and melons of her sea coast, is like the transition to some other clime, while the peach belt is a section peculiar to itself. In this state the apple and the or ange, the olive and the cherry have each been grown with profit. As a wine aud grapo country we are beginning to attract attention, and there are not wanting experts to tell us that we are destined to rival sunny France, both in the luscionsnesR and luster of our grapes, aud in the sparkle and flavor of our wines, as well as the volume aud value of our crops. Only a short time since we learned that grapes could bo raised with profit in southern Georgia. The state has made fame on her lus cious watermelons, and who does not know that New York hucksters have learned to turn their crates so as to show the label of “Alberta peaches from Georgia.” Another thing for which she is famous, made so from my section of the state, where it is mostly cut, and that is “the yellow pine;” you can often hear that our crop is about exhausted, but I am here to tell you that it will take all the mills now operating thirty more years to ex haust the crop. Only a few days ago I rode thirty miles throucrli one solid body, and on one projected railroad of 140 miles in length I have the esti mates of experts that 250,000,000 feet of merchantable timber is accessible. Last year the total output of yellow pine was over $20,000,000, while na val stores and rosin was about $5,000, 000 . There is great value in other timber, such as cypress, oak, poplar and gum. It has been estimated that there is enough hardwood in Georgia to sup ply all the furniture factories in the United States for the next twenty years. My county alone exhibited over twenty-five varieties of wood at the last exposition held at Atlanta. Notwithstanding tho great resources of mine and field and forest, perhaps the greatest attraction iu Georgia is the climate. It appeals alike to the man of wealth, to the man of moderate means, aud those who have nothing save brain or muscle. What wonder that millionaires continue adding to their winter palaces on Jekly Island, and our people continue to build more and more within our border. Into my section of the state, indeed all over Georgia, there are coming new citi zens, aud the next census will show some startling figures of increased wealth and population. (to be continued.) THE ALASKAN MUDDLE. Tho Cniteil States MayKetaliatc Aaainot Canadians. A Washington dispatch says_: There is little doubt that our government is inclined to retaliatory considerations against Canadians by the discouraging results of the negotiations in London, looking to the clearing of the field for the reassembling of the Canadian joint commission. It is gathered that the British for eign office, which had seemed desirous to meet Mr. Choate’s advances in the spirit of compromise that promised well, has been again informed of Can ada’s refusal to agree to anything less than a. concession of all their de mands, which has stopped all pro gress. The news of the retaliatory rneas ures is being considered. COLEMAN’S STATEMENT. Says Governor McFaurin Did Make Prom- ise of Pardon. Judge S. R, Coleman, of Greenwood, Miss., makes public a written state ment in which he says, positively and emphatically, that Governor McLaurin did promise him to pardon Ivo Miller before Miller had been convicted. This statement is in reply to the sensational utterance of Governor Mc Laurin’s in his debate with Congress man Allen, at Shuquelenn, a week ago, that the man who originated the Ivo Miller story was a liar aud a slanderer.
