Explanation.
Mr. Editor: In the last Issue nf Thu
Gazette, with an account of proceedings
of the Teachers' Convention at Cecil, ap
peared a memorial which 1 drafted for
that occasion in the interest of the teach
ers of this county. Immediately upon
its presentation, Mr. Williams, 0. 8. (’.,
made a clear statement of facts which
convinced its author that the grievances
sought to he remedied rested not at the
door of the County Board of Education,
hut at that of the State Hoard of Educa
tion. Ills explanation was satisfactory
to me, and was so stated upon the floor of
the Convention. The memorial was not
noted upon and therefore 1 had no idea it
would ho published. Please do me the
favor to make this correction.

Spahks, May 28.—Notwithstand
ing the “Bohemian” idea of immigra
tion rtttis counter to mine, I venture
a few move lemarks in Unit direction.
Northern and Northwestern people
who are immigrating southward are,
us a rule, fanners, and, judging from
the price of farm products the past
few years, I fail to see how they have
grown so rich as my friend ut Cecil
claims for them. I learn from par
ties who have lately moved here from
tiie North that corn and wheat are
their chief products and that from
15 to 25 cents a bushels was all they
could get for corn and wheat was
even lower. While it is true that we
who have hail to buy paid much
higher prices, we know if anybody
have grown rich it is tho railroads
and middle-men and not the prndu
cer. We blush to admit the fact we
have bought so much meat from our
Western brethren and, while it is
true, we are aware the ranchmen are
not the parties who have grown rich
by our folly. These people, we leurn,
are almost invariably necessitated to
sell their farms to enable them to
reach and purchase homes here.
Messrs. Kretlow, Mtithe and Shelf-
sky me gentlemen, late of Missouri,
who me now citizens of the Sparks’
vicinity. I learn they tiro highly
pleased, indeed delighted at their
new home. I took occasion to ask
one of these gentlemen why they
wished to immigrate to South Geor
gia? lie replied: the genial climate,
the opportunity to engage in diversi
fied farming and the horticultural
prospects now so brightly looming up
here were the chief causes of his
move to this section.
1 had the pleusureof spending sev
eral hours last week with a Mr. Bose,
from Missouri, who is on a prospect
ing tour of the South with a view of
immigrating. This gentleman, buy
ing business in Florida, could
spare two days with us, but lie
put that time to good account view
ing the town and its surroundings.
Kyeiything lie saw seemed to surpass
his expectations and, Imd not other
Imsiness called him to I’ulut ka, would
have ended his search here, lie ex
pressed himself us having iottml all
that heart could wish right bore in
southwest Berrien county. Mr. Bose
lias bei'it a very extensive traveler in
Northern and Western States and he
informed me that no colt airy within
the range of his travels oiler such
inducements as this. If 1 were to
undertake to write of all the tulyunt
ages lie claims for this con it tty ubov
lital from which lie came 1 am sure
it would reach almost book propor
lions, lie intends returning in a few
days uud select a home for himself
and others of his section.
Our climate is, indeed, enviable to
people living in northern countries,
it seems incredible to them lo leuv
their country, covered with ice and
snow, and conic here atnl find peas,
heuns, beets, cucumbers, Squashes ami
almost every other garden product on
our dinner tables.
As I said iu a former urticlo it ts
to holiest homeseekers tlmt I offer in
duccment. By this i mean lioneBt
sons of toil. To such, we of Sourks,
are rcudy to receive with open liearts
and extended Immls. Jt is an ac
knowledged fact that example teaches
faster than precept. Therefore, we
hope to see our country on the high
road to success all on tile account of
un energetic, industrious ami econo
mizihg people coming aud enthusing
it with new life. J. J. Sinkatr.
Asltwoml Notes.
Asnwoon, May 28.—Our mail car
rier, Mr, J. A. Sweet, happened to
the misfortune of a runaway on lost
Wednesday. Stopping at Mr. W. II-
Clyatfs to gather some plums near
the road and apprehending no danger
just dropped the reins. His horse
took fright und diode off np the road
evidently thinking lie did not need a
driver in order to safely carry the
mail. Mr. Sweet made off after him,
hut did not gain possession of the
lines until the place of Mr. J, A.
llenilloy was reached, six miles dis
tant, Fortunately he did not go far
out'of the way, and did no damage to
vehicle or contents except to break a
felly in one of the wheels. '
