PHILOSOPHER CONTEMPLATES AF
FAIRS WITH MUCH SERENITY.
BIRDS AND FLOWERS CONSOLE HIM.
William Approve* Statement of Hynau
Writer Tlmt ‘‘Only Man I* Vile.’*
I’len For Orphan Children.
Last midnight that same mock
bird was singing—making sweet ran
sic to comfort his mate who was brood
ing upon her nest. This morning ho
J* ■»* supremely
happy as he makes his flights upward
and returns to his perch without a
brenlc in his song. There is a tiny
wren not far nway whose song is very
short, but, just, as sweet, and he, too,
is comforting his mate.
Down in the pasture that fronts our
grove I see the milch cows grazing
pcaccfully. In our front yurd there is
a hydrant and the crystnl water is al
lowed to leak just enough to keep a
basin full and it overflows to a little
grass-hidden pool where the pigeons
drink and bathe, and where the jay
birds and thrushes and English spar
rows come and sip and go, and never
contend. Sometimes tho peacock
wants a drink and the birds retire from
his magnificent presence and await his
lordship’s pleasure.
A neighbor’s parrot has left his cage
and is cawing in one of our tree tops. A
ncighbor’s chickens are scratching in
the leaves nearby. Fleecy cloudfl
are passing over head and give us alter
nate sun and shade. I hear the dis
taut whistle of a locomotive and the
trembling, rumbling sound of the train
as it crosses the river bridge. I see
children dressed in their Sunday
clothes going happily to the city hall
to take their part in commencement
exercises. Along our garden fence
the variegated oannns lift their proud
heads in peaceful beauty, and not far
away is a row of flowering peas array
ed in rainbow colors and exhaling
sweet odors to the air.
Apple, geranium and lemon verbe
nas sweeten the breezes at our win
dow. Looking northward from the
verandah where I sit, the distant hills
are piled upon each other in regular
irregnlarity, while more distant moun
tains give a back ground of cerulean
blue to the beautiful picture. Here I
am ruminating—calmly and serenely
happy in a big arm chair. Half a hun
dred magnificent oaks stand like God’s
sentinels in the grove before me, lift
ing their leafy branches toward the
sky in adoration of their Creator. The
twining madeira vines and Virginia
creepers interlace the trellis at my
hand and shelter mofrom thesuu,while
two dear little grandchildren are
merrily swinging in the hammock not
far away. There is nothing in sight
this morning but. peace and beauty.
Inuoeence is in the air, the sky, the
fields, the trees, the birds and flowers
and children—as the good Bishop He
her wrote:
“Here every prospect pleases
And only man is vile.”
Only man; not women or children,
or beasts or birds or flowers—only
man is vile. What n contrast to the
view before me is found in the columns
of the morning paper, which has just
been handed to me. How shocking
are the big head lines that tell of a
single day’s misery and disaster!
When, oh, when, will all these horri
ble things cease to be! Only man is
vile. If he was made in the image of
God, why should he be doing the
deeds of the devil? The cost of crime
in money is a fearful sum. The cost
of courts and prisons and guards and
police; the cost in loss of time and
labor; but this is nothing compared
with the cost in grief and misery,
Here is n letter that is but a sample of
wliat comes to me in my daily mail,
for the poor creatures think that I can
do something:
"Lebanon, Fla.- My Dear Sir: Will you
please give the name and address of some
orphan asylum in Georgia that would prob
ably take three poor little orphan girls into
their home?
“Their mother is dead (died of a broken
heart) and the father is in jail and has been
sonteneed to he hanged.
“He is much distressed about his helpless
children, and begs that you got them into
some orphan home. The family arc of no
kin to me, but I sympathize with tho poor
little orphan girls in their very sad condi
tion.
“Plcaso answer mo very soon and let me
know if they will he shut out because they
live out of your state. C. C. Gaines,
“Postmaster at Lebanon.”
Now, Mr. Hemphill and Mr. Crum
ley, can’t you make room for these
children? May the good Lord have
mercy upon them!
What is the world coming to? The
old Mosaic law was: “I will visit the
sins of the fathers upon the children,”
but the new’ law is: “Suffer little chil
dren to come unto me, for of such is
the kingdom of heaven.” Sometimes
I sigh like the poet, Cowper, and say,
“Oh. for a home in some vast wilder
Iicss, where rumor of oppression and
deceit might never reach me. W lien I
read of murder mid suicides and bur
glaries and arson and horrible outrages
it makes me sad and then there is
always , something in the same paper
to mr.ke me mad—some lies and slan
der or some northern devilment.
Governed ~ .. Northern made , great
a
speech iu Boston, and I am glad it has
been printed in phamphlet form, and
** 1 T aS lhe ^ at ? 1 would order
enough of , them to give a copy to every
child in the state that could read, and
J would make every negro school
'
teacher in the state read a page aloud
every day to his pupils until he had read
it all, and if he didn't road it to them,
! and read it well and tell them that it
was the truth, I would turn them out
—dogon him, confound him—I am
tired paying tax money to educate
negroes to hate people.
I don’t believe there is a negro
! teacher in the state who tries to things. train
i the negro children in these
| Nor do I believe the negro excellentUhris- preachers
are any better. A most
tiau lady of our town asked her col
ored maid the other day if her preacher
ever preached about these horrible
; crimes that are now shocking the good
j people of the state, and she said, “No,
maarn; he never says anything about
1 it.” The unwilling fact is that the
negroes do not think it very much of
a crime. And they believe the other
side just as the yankeos do.
Z
^ her partners have got up auother spec
illation on the Sam Hose case, and have
had hundreds of thousands of pain
phlets printed that contain that lying
detective story, and are selling them all
over the north. Thoy don’t care a
cent if ft does cause more Fynchings.
And this thing has got all over En
gland. A friend of mine who lives
near London, sent me a late copy of
The London Chronicle, a paper as in
fluential as The Times, and the editor
copies a batch of lies taken from the
United States Howard association re
port tlmt says slavery has been virtu
ally re-established in the southern
states, especially in Georgia and Flor
da, and that all the horrors pictured
in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” have been
revived.
That the. illegitimate children born
in the convict camps are kept in per
petnal slavery, and that the female
convictsareoutragedbythecampofii
cers at pleasure, and, that a girl of
seventeen, who ran away to avoid it,
was caught by bloodhounds and strip
ped and Hogged amid jeers. The re
port says that there were 286 lynch
ings of negroes last year, and forty
seven up to April of this year, of whom
all were negroes but eight. Of all
these, thirty-two were accused (?) of
murder, sixteen of assault on white
women, fourteen for defending them
selves, two for impudence and thirty
seven for no crime, and twenty-three
for being troublesome.
Tho editor then says that the future
of the colored race is the gravest prob
lain that America has to face, certainlv
as grave as the extension of her empire
over Cub(l all(1 tlie Philippines, and
that the United States is paying a
heavy debt for the sins of her fathers.
The Howard Association appeals to
humanity to avert the solution by na
tional disaster, and says the negro
trouble has become so great that it is
feared the difficulty cannot be settled
but with blood. Well, now-, let’s pause
awhile—I must go out into my garden
and let my choler down—I will pick
the beans for dinner; I will throw
rocks at my neighbor’s chickens; I
will hire a cussin’ man. Of all the
fools upon earth an English fool is
t ' le biggest, Whose fathers is that
f ° o1 editor talking about? England
never free(1 her own slaves until 1845,
but tliat editor doesent kuow they
ever 1,11,1 an J- 0ur southern fathers
never imported any; they bought them
from the yankees. Traders from Eng
land and Massachusetts, who kept up
the slave trade m partnership until
1857. The last slaver bought was an
Americnn vessel with a mixed crew on
the caost of Madagascar.
A man told me he heard a Chicago
drummer say not long ago that an
other drummer told him ho heard of a
Boston banker who wrote to a Chicago
broker and asked him if he didn’t
want to put some more money in New
England rum to ship to Africa. I ex
pect they are at it yet. Why, it was a
very respectable business both in En
gland and Massachusetts just as long
as they could find a market for the
slaves. John Newton, the poet, the
sweetest of all composers of hymns,
the man who wrote:
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

out of it. One thing is certain, New
England rum is still made in Boston
from Cuba molasses in large quanti
ties, and I would like to know where
they ship it to and what for. South
America is still buying slaves from
somebody. But, pshaw, we are all
brethren now, and sectional lines are
blotted out! Just so—let ns have
peace. How sweet and pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity—I’m
loving everybody now— except some—
I’m going to love that fellow Hammers
and French and old mother Julia Ward
Howe by proxy if I can find the proxy.

DISCUSS BIG TUNNEL.
KnulanO »n.I Ireland; May Be Thu*
| Kv«nttinlly Joined Toge-ther.
! A London cable dispatch says: At
a largely attended meeting of" peers,
commoners, engineers and others held
Monday evening in the house of com
mons, a resolution was adopted to ad
dress a petition to the first lord of the
! treasury relative to the projected tun
nel between Ireland and England,
Letters w’ere read from promi
nent personages favoring the scheme,
on the ground that it would not onlv
unite England and Ireland more close
ly, but tend to bring the United States
and the United Kingdom into more in
! timate accord.
The proposed route is a distance of
j twenty-five miles under eighty-five
fathoms of water, the estimated cost
of the undertaking is £12,000,000
j ($60,000,000).
Happenings In the State of Inter
esting Import.
To Inveatlgat* Angiiatn Fire.
A military board, consisting of a
number of offioers of the state militia,
will be appointed in the course of a
few days by Governor Candler to in
vestigate the cause of the fire in Au
gusta last wee,k, in which the property
of six commands of the state organiza
tion was completely destroyed. The
loss to the state in the destruction of
its military property has been found
to be much larger than at first report
ed, and it is the desire of the officers
of the Sixth Georgia regiment to have
the matter investigated.
Four infantry companies, the signal
corps of the Sixth regiment and one
trooji of the First cavalry had their ar
mories in neighboring buildings on
the south side of Ifroad street. The
conflagration originated directly under
tho nrmories and in a very short time
the whole block was in flames. In
spite of the efforts made by the men of
the different, companies to save their
arms, it was announced to Governor
Chandler that all had been lost.
Division Had Only Two Mon.
The report of Colonel W. G. Obear,
inspector general of the state military,
relative to the Savannah naval reserves
has been received. The division sixteen j
which assembled fifteen or
men at the inspection has been passed
all right, but that which had only two
men will be disbanded.
It is understood that an effort is to
be made to reorganize the division or
dered disbanded, and tbat this will be
done right away. The naval reserves
have been notified that they can use a
yaivl now’ at Brunswick in conjunction
with the Brunswick naval reserves.
Courtinsirttal* Called Off.
Governor Candler has been notified
by Soltcitor General W. W. Osborne,
of Savannah, that a communication
has been received in that city from Ad
jutant General Corbin to the effect
that soldiers of the United States army
held under various charges in the
state will have to be tried by the civil
authorities. The ruling of the adju
tant general is on the ground that the
war has come to a close since the men
were sent to jail and that the jurisdic
tion of a military courtmartial, there
fore, no longer exists.
The ruling is of interest at this time
for the reason that a private of the
'Kentucky regiment which was en
camped at Savannah is now in jail in
that city awaiting trial on the charge
of murdering a comrade. The position
taken by Adjutant General Corbin pre
cludes the possibility of trial by court
martial and the expense of the tonal
will fall on the city of Savannah.
Good Xews From Georgia.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribu-^r
says: It is good news to hear that
Georgia will produce more wheat and
better wheat than ever before in her
history. The demand from that state
for agricultural machinery has been
unusually heavy, and the demand is
down almost to the Florida line. With
the boom in iron and the big wheat
crop, to say nothing of other staples
like watermelons, the peach crop will
not be missed for a few years at least.
.*
Technological Commencement.
The last term at the Georgia School
of Technology is nearing its close and
commencement day at the institution
will be held on Wednesday, the 28th
of this month. On that occasion de
grees will be conferred and special
exercises will be held.
This year there are thirteen grad
uates and of that number nine will re
ceive the degree of mechanical en
gineer, while four will receive the de
gree of electrical engineer.
Kntomoloclst Scott Issues Bulletin.
State Entomologist W. M. Scott has
issued for the benefit of the farmers of
the state a bulletin explaining at length
the law' w’ith reference to trees infected
with pests and minutely The detailing the
method of treatment. publication
is one of the most important to farm
ers and fruit growers ever sent out by
the department of agriculture, and it
is the first bulletin to be prepared by
the state entomologist.
On account of the remarkable spread
of insects among the fruit trees in the
southern part of the state, reports of
which reach the department almost
daily, Professor Scott has hurried the
publication of tho bulletin, so tbat the
owners of orchards could administer
treatment to infected trees during the
present summer.
Interest In Tax Commission.
The meeting of the state tax com
mission, which takes place on the
fourth Monday in June, will be watch
ed with unusual interest, and already
a number of predictions have been
made as to the nature of the work to
be undertaken and the probable out
come of the efforts of the tax commis
sion. At the first session of the com
mission held iu March the members,
after organization, determined that in
order to draft a tax equalization bill
which would meet with the approval
of the legislature and the people,
it would be necessary for the mem
bes to make a thorough investi
gation of the tax faws of the dif
ferent states. Secretary Blackburn
was directed to communicate with the
officials of tho different states and
procure copies of various tax codes for
distribution among the members of
the commission. In this undertaking
the secretary has been unusually for
tunate, receiving copies of the tax
codes of twenty-fire states, all of
which are bound in separate volumes.
For the past two months the tax com
missioners have had the codes at their
disposal and have made themselves
well acquainted with the tax laws of
other states.
When the commission meets a con
tinuous session will lie had for thirty
days and it is hoped That a full agree
ment will have been reached at the
end of that time and that the bill to
be submitted to the legislature for its
consideration will have been com
pleted.
Melon* Galore.
The first wagon load of melons for
the season was brought into Tifton
last Saturday mdYning by Rev. Wiley
Pipkin. They retailed readily for 25
cents each. .
Nearly 500 crates of fruit, peaches
and plums have been shipped from
Tifton the past week, and nearly 1,000
crates this season. There are between
3,000 and 4,000 crates to ship yet.
Growers in the vicinity have purchas
ed three carloads of crates this season.
Peaches snipped to Savannah brought
§55 for eleven crates. They were of
the Triumph variety and splendid
specimens.
Valuable Horses Burned.
Over $5,000 worth of blooded horses
were destroyed by fire at Macon last |
Saturday night, together with a lot of !
harness, sulkies, feed, etc., worth at
least $500. The destroyed property
was in one of the barns or stables at
Central City park, known as the It. H.
Plant barn, but none of Mr. Plant’s
horses or other effects w r ere in the
barn, as he had not used it for some
time. It was occupied by individuals
and the United States government.
There were eight tine trotting animals |
consumed.
All Are After Cannons.
The different cities of the state are
besieging Governor Candler W’ith re
quests for the two cannon that are ex
pected to be awarded to Georgia by
the Federal authorities. The last con
gress passed an act directing that a lot
of old guns which had been condemned
should be given to the governors of
the states to be presented to Grand
Army posts, military schools or the
national guard. It is expected that
Georgia will get two of the guns.
Where the prizes will go yet remain
to be seen.
STATE FAIR NOTES.
The details for the coming state fair
are rapidly assuming definite shape,
and each day adds some new feature.
The women throughout the state are
taking a vital interest in the move
ment, and the woman’s exhibit will be
one of the largest and most interesting
at the fair. One particularly interest
ing feature will be the individual dis
plays from farms owned, and in some
instances operated by women.
Interest continues to center on the
educational display of the fair. In all
parts of the state boys and girls are
preparing themselves for the oratori
cal contest and the prize essay. Com
missioner Glenn savs he expects oaj.cui.o 1 fully uy
-
one-half 01 the counties in the state
will send representatives to take part
in these contests.

other things the chutes wall be an in

The race track on the grounds is
now being put in condition, and will
be used during the summer months
for training purposes. The purses
for the races have not yet been ar
ranged, but they will be such as to at
tract some fast horses during the fair.
Among the premiums offered by the
fair association, is one of $50.00 for
the best exhibit of woodwork, and one
of $50.00 for the exhibit of forged
work done by any boy in Georgia un
der twenty years of age. The contest
will be conducted under certain rules
that have been formulated for the pur
pose of assuring absolute fairness.
And, under them, it is provided, first
of all, that the drawings from which
the work must be done, will be furn
ished by the fair association. The
sobject will be primary work, such as
any young mechanic in the state has
the proper tools for doing. But there
w ill be no instructions beyond such as
are ordinarily put upon a blue print.
The w'ork wdll be, principally, the
making of joints. Fbr it is the fair
mana g ei H eu t s idea to bring out, sim
ply, a showing of the manual skill of
the Georgia boys. And this kind of
work will do that, and yet not require
that the competitors be possessed of
technical training. The work will
have to conform rigidly to the specifi
cations. Any deviation will be count
ed against him wdio makes it. This
rule was framed so as to put all on an
even basis. Any boy in Georgia, be
