TOR CONGRESS AT LARGE.
Among tlio prominent men of the
State just now being named for the
office of Congressman nt largo, we
note the name of lion. H. H. Carl
ton jof Athens. The lianncr-Watch-
man of that city honors itself in
bringing forward such a man. Men
witii records like his arc hot count
ed by the hundreds in any com
montrcnlth, ami as to his qimlifl
cations for this important and
honorable trust, the people of
Georgia might go further and do
worse. Our renders will remember
tlie yeoman service performed by
the gallant Carlton while a member
of the Legislative from ''lark, bis
work there clearly showing fortli
a high order of legislation ability
and strength, ,

damage was done.

THE STORM.
Our friends of South anil South

Alabama were sufferers by a se- ability of certain men fojn
A JfWt dear gov.

vere storm on Monday night, the

1NM3. that wc are able to gather it seems
that it appeared in the vicinity of
White I'ond, Ala., fifteen miies
below Knfaula, about 9 o'clock,
and did great destruction. Pass
ing on almost due west, it just
missed Lowell in tilis state, and
went a few miles above Cuthbcrt
and Dawson and ilrown’s Station.
Thence its course was more to the
northeast until it readied Smith-
villc. When directly below Smith-
villc and within a quarter of a mile
of that place, kind Providence
seemed pityingly to have changed
its couite, for, hud it been u half
mile further north, there would
have been nothing left of Smith-
villc. It then took an abrupt turn
and went south for about a mile,
and then turned southeast, touch
ing the llugciiiii plantation anil
going on into Dooly county. The
damage it did there cannot lie
asc.-rtained, but. it seems to have
lost Its strelight, to u great extent.
Thousands of trees are laid low,
and as many as a hundred houses
Were blown down. Tlie loss of
life was small, considering the
amount of territory invaded.
Tlie damage done was mostly to
small planters and fanners, al-
though several large ones have
suffered. In some cases, and par
ticularly ncar*8milhville, the far
mers hail everything taken from
them, and are left to tlie mercies of
their neighbors, who ure kindly
helping them its much as they aie
able.
On tlie morning of the same day
another cyclone appeared in Wilk
inson and Washington counties,
doing great damage.
We ai-o indebted to Gen. Phil.
Cook for a report of the consuls of
the United Status. In it is the
report or our former townsman,
lion. M. H. Wbartor, now consul
to Sonncbiirg.
It is told of a Albany young man
that after drinking from the ar
tesian well lie went into the Barnes
House and took a sup of that
water and remarked: “I tell you,
gentlemen, tills water can't bo
compared to artesian water.” Mr.
liarnes bad just tilled his cooler
from tlie artesian.

Collector Robertson, of New
York, “acknowledges the com."
He admits that liu was once an at
torney for Shlpherd in Ids Peru
vian scheme, and took a fee. He
says he simply acted as counsel
for the time being, and when that
specific work was done, his con
tract with Stiiphenl ceased. This
frankness is much more to Mr.
Robertson's credit than much of
tlie dodging and explaining away
that appears to lie necessary on
tlie pari of some of our prominent
jioliticans.
or, lias this to say of
man:
But all things being equal, I
claim that our section of the Stotp! r; . , —_
is entitled to tbc honor, 5 an£- , Tt« ! j *- - NAs -
of tbc opinion, we will find in the [
Hon. B. B. Hinton, of Americas, j
all of tbo above enumerated qualifl- j
cations. A gentleman in tlie true
sense of the word. To whose care
and keeping, the State might safe
ly confide the Gubernatorial robe,
with no fears ot its being trailed In
tlie dust of deceit, fraud, or dis-
bouor, in any form. Judge Hin
ton’s name has been suggested as
a suitable candidate, and the sug
gestion meets my hearty approval,
und I should feci delighted to
know that lie had been nominated
by tlie Democratic convention, and
I believe the Democratic party of
Macon county would cheerfully
accept, and roost cordially support |
him.

LAMAR STREET, AMERICU8, GA.
El.I.AVII.I.E ITEMS.
Ki.i.avim.k, .March 29, 1882.
Court convened here Monday,
Judge Simmons of the the Macon
circuit, presiding. The Judge is
prompt in his decisions und makes
business move along rapidly. lie
is making a favorable impression
upon tlie bur and the people. The
bar of Amcriciis is well represent
ed, there being here now nearly
every member. The attendance
at court Ims been large, chiefly be
cause the recent rains have pre
vented tlie farmers from working.
Kllavillc is as pretty n little
town us tliero is in tlie Stutc, and
Ims a good country surrounding it,
while the farmers generally seem to
lie pretty well to do.
Between Amei-icus and Kllavillc
there is almost a continuous line
of oats, wheat and corn Helds.
Oats and cum arc doing well, but
the wheat is badly rusted in many
Del.Is, and some of tlie farmers are
talking of plowing it up.
Because whisky is not allowed
to lie sold within its limits, Schley
is call a “dry" county, but Mon
day and Tuesday were us wet here
as any one could desire.
The cyclone in Lee, Monday
night, brings up in the minds of
the people of Kllavillc recollections
of tlie cyclone which visited this
place in 1876, which blew down a
number of houses and almost de
stroyed tlie fine park in tlie centre
of Hie town. Immediately after
llmt storm umny of tlie people dug
pits near their houses, as places of
refuge during storms, ami to-day
they are talking of putting them
again in order.
A MISTAKE, a
Both the Griffin and Milledgc-
ville papers mention rather curious i
deceptions to be practiced on gran
gers or good farmers. At Grlfiin
a brag patch supposed to lie wheat,
is heading out as rye; and at Mill-
edgevillea fine field of wheat which
was planted for oats turns out to
be rye. Tho owners arc said to lie
indignant, and tlie Milledgeville
man speaks of slicing the puatv
timt sold him the seed. But isn’t
it curious that they couldn’t tell
the difference between wheat, oats
and rye before they planted tlie
seed?—Home Courier.
Onr esteemed contemporary is
mi-taken in locating one of these
cases near Griffin. Spalding far
mers are too sharp a set to be fool
ed in such a way. It was one of
those Doolyite. down near Anieri-
cus, who lmd been raising all cot
ton so long that he couldn’t tell
tlie difference between a radish
seed and a grain of corn. The un
sophisticated inhabitants of that
region are easily taken in.—Orif-
Jin Allies.
It may lie a fact to be 1 sadly la
mented that tlie farmers of this
section do raise more cotton than
corn, but none of them have yet
been cauglit buying rndisli seeds
for spring or winter wheat.

Kiiit<>ii Recorukk—Before this

doubt will have taken a bird’s eye
view of a small portion of our
beautiful little county. Yon will
have meet ami exchanged greetings
with a number of our citizens. In
order that you may be able to make
a favorable report through your
estimable paper, it is hoped that
you will be favorably impressed
witii our people and their surround
ings. A itbough you ure a stranger,
this much Ims already been accom
plished by you: tlie respect ami
admiration of our people. Your
editorials in regard to the tariff
have lieen highly esteemed. Your
fidelity to the interest of thejmassos,
merits tlie fatliomnge and admira
tion of a worthy people. Tlie
struggling millions arc the ones
who need protection instead of lie-
ing taxed to death. \Vc are all
glad to lie able to report every
thing quiet ami busy. All hands
employed, no loiniiig. The pros-
pect torn full fruit crop is becom
ing brighter daily. A few more
warm days will call f r tlie last
bloom from its dormant stale and
set on its errand through this Heel
ing world. While we are able to
report favorable of the fruit crop
up to date, we are pained to notice
the appearance of rust in our small
