GRIFFIN GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 10 1888
A LUNATIC COMMISSION.
Mary Thomason Tried by a Jury of Her
Peers.
If there should he any scarcity of
original matter in the News this
morning, let the excuse be that the
editor, disheartened at the sight of a
sight dralt from the paper-maker and
despairing of making any collections,
was out trying to CHrn an honest do!
lar. That he succeeded was evident
last night by the jingling of tlie soli
tary silver piece among the keys,
composing rules and Anheuser-
Busch match box that fill h;g trous
er’s pocket.
It is very difficult to earn an lion
es< dollar these days, and still harder
to get it—almost as hard as to hear
of and run down a local item. But
by the aid of influential friends we
succeeded yesterday in being placed
upon a commissio de lunatico—
which His Honor Ed Hammond says
means a jury of lunatics. While our
success fills us with conscious self-sat
isfaetion,it has not made us haughty,
though comparatively rich.
Mary Thomason, a poor white girl
who has been residing at the county
farm s'nce the first of the year, was
the party tried.
The jury was composed of Dr. T.
J. Collier, Mjj,C. Wadsworth, J. M.
Cooper, G. H. Mooney, J. F. Mann,
I. T. Thrash, Thos. S. McKee, J. C,
Little, A. L. Morris, W. T. Cole, R.
F. M. Matin and D. Glessner.
Mr. Morris, superintendent of the
poor farm, testified that the unfortu
nate creature was not able to get
about well or take care of herself, be
mg feeble both in mind and body.
The girl was then asked a
few questions, the last being whether
she wanted to fjp to the asylum.
Shrugging her shouldirsand looking
around wildly at the distinguished
body of gentlemen who were trying
her case, she answered that “There is
many that is more capable of going
to the asylum.”
That settled it and the jury imme¬
diately went out and brought in a
verdict of lunacy in the first degree.
It was clearly a case of self-defense
on the part of the jury.
Sitting around waiting for the
sheriff to bring in the jury fees, the
Commissioner was reminded of the
factory hand who was recently sent to
the asylum from here. He was work
ing at the loom when something
seemed to ring in his head and repeat
“The Acts of the Apostles! The
Acts of the Apostles!” Rushing out
into the open air the message became
clear to him, and seizing an axe he
hastened clear to the other end
the tewnwwith it and then thought
fully retracing his steps part of the
way he placed the axe in the vesti
bule of the Baptist Church. Thus
the “ax*” of the apostles was placed
m security.
Young Bedeir, recently sent from
Vineyard to the asylum, has been
liberated and gone back to Illinois.

WESTERN FARM MORI RaGES.
Some Interesting Figures Rearing on
the Subject.
Philadelphia Record.
Chicago, Mar. 7.—The Fanners’
Review has very recently published
the fallowing summary of reports
from correspondents on the subject
ot tarm mortgages. As only a part
of the reports are based on an exarni
nation of county records, the balance
being the estimates of correspond
ents based on their knowledge of
general conditions in their respective
counties, only approximate correct
ness is claimed for the figures given.
Summarized by States the figures arc:
Ohio, 46 counties report an average
of 23 per cent, of farms under mort¬
gages; 16 counties report farm mort
gages on the increase and 24 coun
ties that they are decreasing, lndi
ana, 37 counties report 26 per cent,
ot farms mortgaged; 18 counties re
port mortgages increasing and 14 de
creasing. Illinois, 75 counties re
port 27 per cent, of farms mortgag
ed; 37 counties on the increase and
33 on the decrease. Iowa, 69 coun
ties -eport an average of 44 per cent,
of farms mortgaged; 14 counties re
port an increase and 10 a decrease.
Nebraska, 30 counties give an aver
age of 51 per cent, of farms mutt
gaged; 12 report farm mottgageson
the increase and 17 on the decreasei
Wisconsin, 25 counties report 32 per
cent, of the farms mortgaged; in 8
mortgages are increasing and in 17
decreasing. Michigan, 26 counties
report an average of 50 per cent, of
farms mortgaged; 11 report mort
gages on the increase and 9 on the
decrease. Kentucky, 18 counties re
port an average of 23 per ceil, of
iarms mortgaged; 8 report farm
mortgages on the increase and 10 on
the decrease. Dakota, 27 coun
ties report 59 per cent, of farms mort
gaged; 15 report them on the in
crease and 12 on the decrease.

The Immigration Scheme.
Gen. Alexander was asked to ex
plain in what way the Central pro
posed to encourage immigration to
Georgia in connection witb the Bu
reau of Immigration of which W. L
•Glessner has charge.
Tde Central, he replied, has no
lands of its own to sell, but it is in
terested in getting the country set
tied along its line in this State.
There are thousands of acres of fer
tile soil not in cultivation, which can
be bought much cheaper than West
ern land. We believo that when the
fertility and cheapness of the land is
considered by those who live where
the little school children freeze to
death in groups on their way home,
and our benificent climate is brought
to their attention, they will be glad
to cotnc to Georgia. Mr. Glessner
was recommended to us very highly
as a successful planter fully experi
enced in the adaptability of the Boils
of the State to successful and profita
ble cultivation, so we selected him,
and will encourage him and back
him up iu his effort to attract imini
gration. Every station on our lines
of railroad will be a bureau of infor
mation. People having lands to sell
need only let our agent* know where
it is. and we will see that there are no
misrepresentations made to those
who make inquiries of us with a view
to purchase. Mr. Glessner, I be
lieve, is to make a trip West, and I
think be is to have a collection of
the prodacts of Georgia for exhibi
tion and to publish a piper in the in
terest of the immigration scheme.
There are matters of detail which
will be left to Mr. Glessner’s judg
rnent.
Travelers are subject to other dangers
than those of vessel and car. Improper

TREAT TI1E GIRLS WELL.
Slio Hat Her >Vay To Make iu the
World as Well as Her Brother.
Rev. F. D. HuDtly, formerly of
this city, lectured recently iu Bdti
more on “The Girl to Love and How
to Treat Her.” Among other things
be said that the girl for the average
American citizen lo love must keep
herself abreast of the times, read
the papers, nud be able to talk poli
tics, in addition to putting up with
the little weaknesses of b r husband.
If he wants to smoke she should let
him smoke at home, and not drive
him for that indulgence Lo the near
est saloon. She must know how to
economize, and not illuminate the
whole house with a full head of gas
in each room. Men shouldn't tell
their sweethearts they will give them
precious stones; they will probably
have lo come down to Rhin stones.
Neither should they quote their
mothers- Mother quoting is the
most fruitful source of domestic in
felicity, and must bo avoided above
all tbiDge.—[ Washington Circle.
Boys can push ahe id, callous of
the thorn and wring sueces?, as it
were, from the reluctant hand of for
tune. Girls shrink naturally from
contest with the world, so bathed
witb rebuff and disappointment.
Dearth of attention at her own fire
side robs the girl of much needed
confidence. She should iu every
sense be made to feel herself respect
ed iu her home circle, her opinions
listened to, instead of laughed down
by the hilarious brother; her com
forts insured by the little polite noth
ing in the way of attention her sens!
tive nature so appreciates. She can
then face life with bettor cheer and
greater* fortitude. As the tender
lily invites more thoughtful care and
gardening than the Lardy sun flower,
so let “our girls” be considered
first, encouraged first.
Short Line to Atlanta.
Gen. Alexander was asked if there
waa any foundation for the rumor
that the Central contemplates abort
ening its line from Savannah to At¬
lanta in the event of tha Atlanta, At
iatuic and Great Western being
built.
“We have considered the matter,’’
he said. “The Central does not ex
pect to do that, except that in the
event it would be confronted wi.han
opposing line. Then we should
shorten our line by building about
fifty-seven miies of road. We would
build from Sandersville to Milledge
viile, using our bridge over the Oco
nee river at the latter point. Fioni
there to Ertonton we have a line
From Eatonton we would build to
Covington, striking our road at Cov
ington, and giving us as near as pos
sible an air line to Atlanta. This
would shorten our line over ferty
miles, making the distance 252 miles
from Savannah to AtlantJ, a much
shorter line ihan any that can be
projected, or that is likely to be
built. We have onir to build from
Sandersville to Milledgeviiic and
from Eatonton to Covington. We
would have a ridge nearly all the
way from Eatonton to Covington, so
that the gaps lo make the short fine
would not be expensive to build, and
we would i ot have to bridge the Oco
nee, and only a small s’.reai ,v
ington.”
Gen. Ai rander has this short line !
laid off on his office map with a heavy-
blue pencil, and In- is watching ihe
movements of the Atlanta, Atlantic
and Great Western people very
closely.

C. W. CLARK & SON.
Our Ministers to the Bh.ck Repnbllc
New Yoik Graphic.
It may seem a strange thing to
say in this era of strife for official
place that the Administration bus
found considerable difficulty iu keep
ing filled a positiou that pays a sain
ry of $5,000 per annum. It is very
troo, however. Of course, the loc.i
tion of the official residence is not
Ibe most attractive in the world, for
it is on the coast of Africa, but liv
ing is cheap, the exactions of society
uot too stringent, aud the duties of
the plico merely nominal. It has a
high and long idlieiul title, for the
occupant is called the Minister Resi
dent to the Republic of Liberia, and
a thrifty man might save three
fourths of his salary and come back
after bis four years term was over
with several thousand dollars in his
clothes That is, lie could do so if
he would live that !oDg.
The position aud tho salary are
relics of tho Republican regime.
There never was any reason in the
world for establishing tho place ex
cept for the purpose of coddling the
black voters of this country anu fur
nishing an office for some ambitious
black politician. Under the present
Administration there were half n
hundred applicants for the place be
foro 3Ir. Cleveland was a week in tbe
White House. Ti o Rev. Moses Hop
kins of North Carolina was seeming
ly tho best endorsed among all of
them, and he was appointed to the
place. He was a Republican, and
tbe people who did uot know the se
crot of his success raised a row when
they saw bis name sent into tbe Son
ate. But Senators Vance and Ran
som were very happy,
Moses Hopkins was a full blood
ed uegro preacher, who was a very
strong card iu the political contests
of the old North State, and a whoop
er up of the Degroes from away
back. He was a thoroughly educat
ed and respectable man of bright
ability, aud had been for many years
a sharp thorn in tbe side of the
Democratic party iu North Carolina,
and they wanted him out of the
State in some way or other, aud they
expected when he got out that he
would remain out. He did so, for after
about a year's residence on the coast
he did what most strangers who go
there do—he died.
The next man who went out as
our representative was a Kansas poli
tician of tho colored persuation uam
ed Taylor. Ho was a sort of half
barber, half Dwyer, and of course he
j oat! o; been there very long before
I no s qu.rreh'ing with the local an
tbe .ns. fur that vv-is ibe only re
so! ,cc he Lai to keep his blood
from stagnation. But when the
ftver season came wandering up the
coast iLe Kansas man feared the
fate of his predecessor and hurried
back to America. When he re tched
