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.— Springfield Republican. 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 Picayune.

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 ” Fort Hill, 8.

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.

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. —Nashville American.
