———
Mr. W. R, Miller and wife, of
Unionville, Ohio, aro iu Tifton. Mr.
Miller is prospecting, and is so fa
vorably impressed with what he has
seen that he contemplates moving
down before the coming winter. He
will return north to-day or Tuesday.
Mr. Miller is a practical farmer aud
fruit grower anti has given grape
culture especial study. Tho Empire
Garden needs such men, and a warm
welcome awhvits them.
Mr. Miller gives a deplorable ac
count of affairs in his section of
Ohio, us regards farmers and fruit
growers. He says wheat is selling
at 50 cents a bushel, corn at 25, oats
15, Irish potatoes 25, onions 10, and
so on. He says some of the farmers
use corn for fuel, as they cannot find
sale for it, while others let it rot in
the fields.
Up there stock have to be housed
and fed five months in the year, and
during that period but little outdoor
work can be done.
‘You people down here,” said
Mr. Miller to a Gazette man, “do not
seem to realize how vast is the num
ber in my section and other portions
of the north who contemplate mov
ing south. The only drawback is
the difficulty they find in disposing
of their property. Thousands desire
to sell, but real estate, and especially
farm lands, finds few buyers with
us; but they’ll come down sooner or
later to this beautiful country, and I
know, from what I have seen, that
they will never regret having done
so. Some years ago the tide of em
igration was westward. Now the
west is never mentioned—the tide is
southward, and this section of Geor
gia is the favorite.”
Mr. Miller will carry home with
him samples of nearly all the pro
ducts of this section, among tho rest,
samples of long and short cotton
which I10 mistook for buckwheat
fie says he lias to. take back these
samples as proof of the wonderfu
stories he will tell his neighbors.
He is enthusiastic over all that lie
has seen, and declares he will never
he able to tell his friends of half the
advantages this sun-kissed climate
has over their bleak northern homes.

The democratic convention at
Chicago was called regularly, in ac
cordance with time-honored party
usage; the delegates to it were reg
ularly elected and commissioned by
the heads of the party in every state
in the union; its proceeding were
regular, and without a single dela
tion from the rules of the party. If the
principles there enunciated are not
democratic, what aro they? Tho
bolters cannot point to a single irreg
ularity or departure from party usage,
and cannot deny that it voiced the
convictions of a large majority of tho
democrats of the United States.
Then wliat can they lead a holt on ?
The mail who is not willing to sub
mit to the will of the majority is not
a true American citizen. Carry the

principles opposed to his was elected,
lie would sever his connection with
tho government and move out of the
