The Augusta Chronicle says : “It is a pity that so much publicity is given to sensational talk of race troubles and inuginary conflicts tietween ths whites and blacks.

The public approves the verdict of ae qu’tf id. —1 1 -- The farmers of the state so .old not forget that some of the batideorntst premiums in point of size i tiered for the fair next fail, is for <1 ■ rgia raised meat. In addition to those that the Agricultural Society has offered, two private firms will give SIOO apiece for the fatteet lamb, and $25 for the fat test pig. “How does this strike you? ’ asks the Savannah Press. “We have been •ending missionaries to Japan and trying to christianize the people of that country whom »e have been ac customed to regard i.a only partially enlightened, snd now it is said that Japan is about to appeal to the I ui ted States to slop the slaughter of the . Filippinos, and offers to become a mediator to bring about that result.” The New England newspaper men who have been touring the south (dit ea a full issue of the States in New Orleans the o'her day And here is one significant i xtr.act from one of the articles they wrote: "If negro rape fiends like Sam Hose, of Georgia is abounded in New Fog arid the rope in dustry would flourish ,:!.••• i trust in t Wall etn '■ ml it voj di< pi fitsbie enough to -inpl 'v s .inn tie- hands which used to wave the bloody shirt.” - The authorise . Wa-liii go u stern to lie coi iident ii; i the adv ■ a the ( Filipinos I ..vi made io the direction < of peace indicate that h war in the ' ' Philippines is near its cud, and there i is every reason to think tint they take , ' the correct view of the sitnatim. It is undoubtedly that the Filipino leaders ; N would not hesitate to make overtures I r for peace in order ti gain time to I- >r I ganize their army if they thought | there win anything to b? gain d I y continuing the war. but as they must see that liia contest iu which thev are ! ■ engaged is a hopeless one, it is reason- i . able to suppose they are sincere in ! £ seeking to bring the war to a close. ‘ - Tile pioposition they in ide for an nr- j mistice until thmr congn be called together and the question of peace or war submitted to it, did not seem to them prob.bly to 1 ■ <iu un reasonable one, though it was one that Gen. Otis could not for a moment en- j ter am It may be they hardly thought it would be accepted. There are other propositions—equally impossible pro bably from our pi int of view—will be submitted, but the final result will be ! that the terms offered by Gen. Otis wid be accepted. That, at least, is the , way it looks at the present time It will lie found no doubt that the in: ar gents are pretty nearly out of ammu nition and don't know where to get a A supply, and also that the men in the ranks have had all the fighting they j want. For Backache use Stu art's Gin and Buchu, A tdeasaut Leitee, jt takes a clever man to find a good word to say on every occasion. It is said of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he onco received a letter from his friend, Pro fessor Edward S. Morse, and found the handwriting wholly illegible. Mr. Al drich was not at a loss for an answer. Ln due time there came to Mr. Morse tho following reply: My dear Morsis, it was very pleasant to receive a letter from you tho other day. Perhaps I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it. I don’t think I mastered anything beyond the date, which I knew, and tho signature, at which I guessed. There is a singular and perpetual charm in a letter of yours—it never grows old, and it never loses its novelty. One can say every morning as ono looks at it: “Here’s a letter of Morse’s I haven’t road yet. I think I shall take another shy at it today, and maybe I shall be able in tho course of a few years to make out what he means by those t’s that look like w’s and those i’s that haven’t any eyebrows.” Other letters are read and thrown away and forgotten, but yours are kept forever—unread. One of them will last a reasonable mail a lifetime. Youth's Companion. In New York preparations are being made for the celebration of “Dewey Day”—the first of May. The World prints a message from Mayor Meyers of Savannah, in which he says he does n d think the present an opportune time to celebrate the battle of Manila bay. Tlie .American people are not likely ever to forget the glorious achievements of Dewey and his tn n, •ays the Mayor, but, “with every day bringing news of the death or wound ing of many of our brave soldiers io the Philippines, and the complete con trol of the islands still to be obtained at a probably heavy loss of life and ex pense 1 feel that celebrations might well be postponed.

Mr. Editor : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say, in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on tbe place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from S2O down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 30 to another, according to his ability to paj’ for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fiiirchar.ee to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to n.a.ket gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. Tbe land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar : in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of tbe Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say, I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale,on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses si'.m of one <-r two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are as good as gold. 8. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Ga. i II!
