11 VS N LETTER 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 That sftved a wret , h like me .» Wl18 a sIave tra,ler - aiul mai1 * big money 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. j Maybe Joe Wheeler will take the job. —Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution.

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. rpv.r.4- Ln TlI ine lair -rrr.'n Will *u nave „ „ ~ a JAxiClW–y - has a lippn ueen rlpfim’fftlv aenniteiy rlpfpvmino/I Cleteimmea, hut but its exact character has not been de- I ! cided ••1 T upon. x It . will contain number , a of interesting attractions. Among other things the chutes wall be an in teresting feature. , 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 tween sixteen and twenty years of age -except students of the Georgia School of Technology, may compete lor tnese prizes - for one or both, of I indeed, tney not only 1 ! luem. may compete, but they are earnestly urged to do SO.
