THE MORNING CALL.
Vol IX. ’ No. 128.
TO WEDDING BELLS.
Mr- Carlton A- Jones and Miss Evelyn
Terry Married Yesterday
At 3:30 yesterday afternoon the
Baptist church was well filled by the
presence of many of the friends of
Miss Evelyn Terry and Mr. Carlton A.
Jones, to witness their marriage.
-At the time designated the organ,
under the magic touch of Miss Sher
wood told of the presence without of
the marriage party.
The attendants entered, followed by
the bride resting upon the arm of her
brother, while in the opposite aisle was
the groom accompanied by a brother.
The attendants and bride and groom,
taking their positions in front of the
alter, the happy couple were united in
the holy bonds of marriage by Rev. T.
W. O’Kelley in a beautiful and im<
preaeive ceremony.
Thus were united two of Griffin’s
most worthy and popular young per
eons, who will receive the hearty con
gratulations of scores of friends.
For about two years Miss Terry hrs
been the society editress o' the Call
and her ability is known to
all its readfeni, and has been compli
mented Often upon the style and dic
tion of her composition, while Griffin
> never contained a more worthy young
man than Mr. Jones He has the con
fidence and very highest respect of
this entire community.
They are at home to their friends at
the residence of Jno. L Reid, on Pop
lar street.
Another Tiger.
Tom Ponder has proven one of the
slickest manufacturers of a tiger our
police force has ever trailed
Tom is a negro and lives in Cabin
district, and comes to the city with
every pocket full of the extract of corp,
and with a significant wink could
catch and decoy his customers into a
back alley and there dispose of his
goods.
Yesterday, however, Tom’s vocation
and plans were overthrown, and he
landed behind the bare, owing to the
dilligence of Officers Connor and
Flynt.
Whiskey enough was taken from
Tom’s person, before placing him be
bind the bars, to create several gags
and fights.
Late in the afternoon Tom was ar
raigned before Judge Beck for trial,
when he plead guilty to the charge
and was promptly fined SSO and all
costs.
He paid the fine and ere this has
probably figured out the number of
drinks and bottles of corn he will have
to sell to make up his losses in yester
day’s transaction.
Bodies Removed-
Sexton B. F. Doe disinterred two
bodies yesterday in the cemetery for
removal to Columbus.
The remains were those of Mr. David
G. Patterson, who died in Atlanta
about 14 years ago, and bis grand
daughter, that had been buried about
12 years
The deceased were the father and
daughter of Mrs. S. M. Tewksberrj, of
Columbus, who is having the bodies
removed to that city, where she is
permanently residing.
Negro Burglars.
Policemen Gordon and Phelps ar
rested Nellie and Leila Grant, two
notoriously bad negro women, last
night for burglary, and landed them
safely behind the bars.
While Lizzie Duncan, a negro wo
man was seeking to earn an honest
living by washing, Nellie and Leila
forced an entrance to Lizzie’s home
and helped themselves to sheets, towels,
flour, meat, etc. Ail the goods have
been found.
Mr- Bryan Did Not Attend.
Gov. Atkinson of Georgia, being
fiercely altacxed by the religious press
for having witnessed a Mexican bull
fight on Sunday, answers with all of
his assumable dignity that as “Sunday
is the only day on which bull fighting
can be witnessed in the City of Mexico,
and, as the purpose of my visit was to
glean all I could of Mexican customs,
I did not stand back on .conventional
-ity." Mr. Bryan thought this out
carefully when be wae io Mexico, and,
m we recall it, he was not. seen at the
bull pen op the Lord’s day. Jt would
have been too good an opening for bis
opponents in the American press.—

NEW ENTERPRISE
Project to Build a New Hotel on
Foot-
The parties who feel an interest in
having a new hotel for Griffin are re
quested to meet at the Chambers
House tonight (Thursday) at 7:30
o’clock.
The importance attached to this en
terprise needs no comments from us.
While Griffin has several hotels, the
need of the town is felt by all, and the
importance to Griffin is universally
admitted. We understand that one
gentleman has expressed bis willing
ness to take as much as one third of
the stock necessary to make the enter
priee a success.
With suitable accommodations af
forded, there is no reason why Griffin
should not only become a' favorite
summer resort, but also a great resort
to the traveling public, who are now
designated as drummers.
No better time than now could be
found to form the company. Material
is cheap and a good hotel could now
be built lor less than half what it
would have cost a few years ago. We
are glad to see some of our enterpris
ing citizens taking an interest in the
matter and hope it will not be allowed
to languish.
Diversified Crops Needed-
Dr. Charles W. Dabney, the well
known president of the university of
Tennessee, is a thorough student of
agricultural conditions in this section,
and fully understands the peculiar
needs of our southern farmers. In a
recent address delivered before the
American Cotton Growers’ Protective
Association in Memphis, touching up
on the refaction of the cotton acreage,
Dr. Dabney said:
“Although resolutions setting forth
the necessity for the reduction of acre
age and the production of more food
crops and meat on southern plantations
have doubtless done some good in the
past by informing the people as to
their danger, aqd may do good in the
future, the reforms we work for are not
going to be brought about by resolu
tions, however emphatic and manda
tory they may be. Too many of our
cotton farmers are ignorant negro
renters, who will continue to make the
crop they know how to make with the
least intellectual and physical effort.
Many others are too selfish, and will
even put in a larger acreage of cotton
when they think that other farmers
have reduced theirs considerably.
“The only way to accomplish these
reforms will be by educating the peo
ple as to their true interests. I am not
one of those persons who believe that
we arc going to permanently advance
the price of cotton in any considerable
amount by any means whatever. But
this association can do much to teach
the cotton grower how to make his
cotton cheaper, in the first place, and
to teach those who cannot make it for
the prevailing low prices how to grow
something else. All cotton planters
need to learn that they can save a
great deal by growing food crops and
making their own meat and other sup
plies. Our president has estimated
that 62 per cent of the net proceeds of
each cotton crop is consumed before
the crop is put upon the market. The
most important lesson that this asso
ciation can teach is the lesson of econ
omy fin farming on our own capital.
In short, as an educational association
the American Cotton Growers’ Pro
tective Association can be of immense
value at this time and for many years
to come.”
Women Lawmakers.
The speaker of the Kansas New Wo
man Legislature rose and pounded
sternly on the desk with her gavelette,
says an exchange. “The bill just of
fered and withdrawn,” she said, “per
mitting women to wear corsets, how
ever amusing, bespeaks a levity that is
out of keeping with the dignity of our
high office. I would request that mem
bers in future refrain from humorous
archaisms that tend to retard routine
business*” After this momentary de
gression the house began its most im
portant debate of -the day on the ques
tion of compelling all men to wear
trousers and whiskers—New Orleans

COTTON SEED MANURE
Cultivation Test at the South Carolina
Agriculture Experiment Station.
While tbe Macon Telegraph ia giv
ing warning to the farmers of Lbe
south against tbe raising of another
ten million bale crop of cotton,*as pub
lished in yesterday’s C±ll, and is no
doubt trying to lead them aright, it is
overlooking another great lose to them
in the great loss of cotton seed thrown
away every season by fertilizing with
green seed.
Below we give a test of the South
Carolina Experiment Station on this
point, which is worthy the investiga
tion of every farmer:
16 lbs Cotton seed meal and 64 lbs hulls
(80 lbs feed) made 200 lbs wet manure
worth $3.35 per ton by chemical analysis.
1-10 Acre of cotton fertilized by the 80
lbs of meal and hulls produced by 102.7
lbs of seed cotton equal to 1027 lbs to the
acre.
l>lo Acre of cotton, side by side the oth
er, fertilized with the manure' from 80 lbs
of meal and hulls which were fed to the
five cows, made 105.6 lbs of seed cotton or
1056 lbs per acre.
This shows that cotton seed turned
into meal and hulls may be first fed to
cattle, and then put on a crop as ma
nure and produce more than if tbe
seed had been used as a fertilizer “dry
so ”

Blood Poison Cured-
There is no doubt, according to the
many remarkable cures performed by
Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B. B.”) that it is
far the best Tonic and Blood Purifier ever
manufactured. All others pale into insig
nificance, wheikcompared with it. It cures
pimples, ulcers, skin diseases, and all man
ner of blood and skin ailments. Buy the
best, and don’t throw your money away
on substitutes. Try the long tested and
old reliable B. B. B. |1 per large bottle.
For sale by Druggists.
A BAD CASE CURED. ’
Three years ago I contracted a blood
poison. I applied to a physician at once,
and his treatment came near killing me.
I employed an old physician and then
went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot
Springs and remained two months. Noth
ing seemed to cure me permanently, al
though temporary relief was given me. I
returned home a ruined man physically,
with but little prospect of ever getting well
I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish
ment it quickly healed every ulcer.

Where’s Mother?
Bursting in from school or play,
This is what the children say,
Trooping, crowding, big and small J
On the threshold, in the hall—
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by :
“Where’s mother!”
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won :
“Where’s mother ?”
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace;
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say:
“Where’s mother ?"
Mother with untiring hands
At the post of duty stands;
Patient, seeking not her own,
Anxious for the good alone
Os her children as they cry,'
Ever as the days go by:
“Where’s mother ?”

Confederate Brigadiers.
The Boston Herald says: “Gen.
Longstreet is confirmed as commis
sioner of railroads, and the chances
are that tbe duties of his office will
Tobtinue to be performed by the ven
erable ex-Confederate brigadier as
efficiently as they were performed by
the venerable ex-Confederate brigadier
who preceded him. This office is gen
erally recognized as a sinecure, mains
tained for the benefit of these venera*
ble ex-Confederate brigadiers.”
The phrase, “Confederate brigadier,”
is a political catchword at the north,
and the Herald, therefore, betrays no
ignorance when it applies tbe title to
men who held much higher positions
in the southern army. But it is a very
strange idea, indeed, that a Federal
office should be provided as a sinecure
for “Confederate brigadiere.”
The office is now, doubtless, very
much a sinecure because little is left
of its duties sir.ee tbe sale of the Union
Pacific railroad. Gen. Longstreet was
appointed to the place not because he
is an ex-Confederate, but because he
is a republican. The Herald seems to
argue that the office should be abolish
ed, not because it baa become unneces**
sary, but because it has been filled by
Confederate generals.
The offide of Consul General at Ha
vana is filled by a “Confederate briga*>
dier.” That at least is not a sinecure.
