Tho public lectures announced
by Stale School Commissioner Orr
to bo given in connection with the
State Teachers’ Institute were
opened on Tuesday night at the
Opera House by an address by
I’rof. .1. E. Willett, of Mercer Uni
versity, who took for his subject,
“ National Science and its relation
• to the Common School.” Notwith
standing llm short notice given,
there was a good audience and the
address was listened to with atten
tion. Tho address was an inter
esting one, showing what natural
science .was and tho importance of
its study. The I’rof. continued
the address on Wednesday night,
and last night Prof. Smart, State
School Superintendent of Indiana,
was lo have lectured upon wlmt lie
saw over the sea. To-night it is
expected that Dr. Battle will de
liver an address. Wednesday fore
noon I’rof. Smart addressed t)e
Institute upon School Government,
and Commissioner Orr tnct the
County School Commissioners and
expounded lo them the school law.
Last night', after the lecture, the
Faculty ol the Institute gave a re
ception at the College building
to the teachers attending the In

together, this week lias been one of
interest and importance to those
connected with the Institute.

Reduction of llox Rents.
Tho Ukcokdkii lias upon several
occasions called attention to the
outrageous rent charged in litis
city for the rent of pyslolllec boxes,
and lias shown licit in Northern
cities tile poslollice department
lias fixed the price nt thirty cents
per ipiartur, while llie charge here
was $1.50 per quarter. The clfcct
of this showing up of llic discrim
ination between the North and |
South, ns practiced by the postof-
lice department, was to make a
number of our citizens so indignant
licit they declared I bey would no
longer pay any sueh exorbitant
rent and gave up the keys to tlicir
Iioxes. Postmaster Bell reported
Ibis dissatisfaction on llic part ot
tile people lo llic postollicc depart
ment and suggested licit tho rent
lie reduced to $1 per quarter, and
ill reply received a letter from the
First Ass’t I’. M. (Icncral authoriz

per quarter, to take cllcct on the

tlie truth of the rumor. After

him snugly esconced behind the
.Macon 7V/e;/rop/i,dead asleep. Af

Hie reporter proceeded to ascer
tain if he was a candidate for Hie
Governorship, and here is what
was caught on the fiv as cloqiicuce

lips:
“Yes, sir, I am; I am a candi
date for Governor for llie State at
large. Having been importuned
to run by our distinguished fellow-
citizen,Mr. Willis Jones, (scorpion-
headed Willis) and knowing that
niiidi people in nil parts of the state
would lie half crazy to elect me if
they knew I would accept, and be
ing convinced that sooner or later
the ollicc is obliged to hunt me up
—in fact lake after me witli a sharp
stick, I have decided to have the
whole matter over and be done
with it. I may not be like Hooper’s
man—“run fastcr’n six skccrcd
wolves and a yoarlin’ doer,” I
may not go through like a dosool
salts, or come out like a hatched
chicken, hut it sham lie for the
lack of a platform and letter of
acceptance.”
“My platform, (advanced sheets
to be out in a few days) will con
tain a heavy stock anil full assort
ment of cheap, ready-made and
very serviceable maxincs, adages,
epigrams, formulas, and so forths.
On Hint platform I shall stand for
election, and I want my friends to
write out and post up notices of
my candidacy oil most of the pine
trees in Georgia, anil likewise on
all Hie fences, palings and otiicr
place usually appropriated to the
advertisements of patent medi
cines.”
"Like Jefferson, I um in favor of
elections by tho people;’ in fact, I
am convinced Hint no one else
should be allowed to hold them.
And I also agree witii him and the
sage of Liberty Hall about ‘abso

“The platform and letter of the
old candidate eloquent arc entirely
loo sporadic, you can put the pulp

without filling llie slieli. Th**ir

That’s what’s tho matter. The

Accident.
Yesterday Mr. S. M. Cohcu re
lated lo us tlie particulars of an
accident that bcfel a lady on tho
down train Thursday morning. It
scents that she had a ticket for
Winchester, but wanted to get off
fow miles this side, nnd did not
want to pay faro to Montezuma, so
where tlie train pnssed tlie point,
she jumpted from the platform,
her dress catching as she wont
down, and the train dragging her
about 25 yards. Luckily a porter
saw her as she jumpted,and pulled
tlie cord, when she was picked up
and carried to Montezuma, badly
bruised.

find the farmer taking advantage of
improved machinery to economize
his time and labor. One of the
greatest aids to tlie planter that
has kccu invented is the applica-
of steam as a power tp run his
gins, mills and threshers. At first
this was expensive nnd limited; but
now we have an engine that not
only can be moved from place to
place, but furnishes the power for
its own transportation. We allude
to tho Traction Engine manufac
tured by C. A G. Cooper A Co., of
Mt. Vernon, Ohio, for which It. T.
Byrd A Co. nre agents. One of
these engines ha • been on exhibi
tion in our city this xveek nnd has
attracted much attention from our
lending planters. The engines are
really road locomotives, run by
steam, which not only transport
tliemselves from pince to place over
common roads, hut will pull along
behind them separators, wagons,
mills, etc. The advantages of such
engines over those which have to
be loaded up nnd hull led from place
to ulace nre so apparent as to need
no enumeration, ns it enables tlie
planter lo do his threshing, grind
ing nnd sawing upon any part of
his plantation. Having been ae
quainted for years with tho Cooper
engines in the North, and familiar
witli tlicir practical work, we have
no hesitation in saying that they
will do all that is claimed for then),
and that they will prove a profita
ble investment to every large
planter. Some of our planters have
not been slow to sco tho advan
tages of tills engine—men, too,
who arc careful nnd successful in
tlicir dealings—and already Messrs.
Byrd A Co, have sold them to
such men as S. II. Hawkins, C. 0.
Clay, A. C. Bell, It. H. Bass, J. E.
Bivens and J. W. Willet. Wo nre
pleased at the introduction of such
improved machinery in our county,
as it betokens the opening of a
new ora in our country, nil era of
prosperity. And we are especially
pleased that in the introduction of
such machinery the best Is being
bought, as it will save much trouble
and disappointment, for we nre
convinced that any larmcr buying
Cooper engine will have no
cause for regret. Messrs. It. T.

tho Traction Engines, but aro pre
pared to supply other styles, and
are also agents for the celebrated
Loomis Gin.
house lully satisfied that Mr. Heath
would reap a very fine harvest. It
is estimated that he will make
more cotton than he can gather
and as much corn as be can use.
We had not been back long before
dinner was announced and all re
paired to a long table in the yard
upon which was spread a bountiful
repast. The dinner bad been pre
pared under the supervision of
Mrs. J. W. Forrester, Mrs. It. A.
Forrester, Mrs. Brown and Mrs.
Guss Larrnmorc, and the delicious
cakes and custards and other
dainties which it afforded, reflected
credit on those ladies in the highest
degree.
After dinner various amusements
were indulged in till late In the
afternoon, when the crowd began
to disperse, all bearing witness
that though the happy expectations
in rclurence to tho barbacuc hail
been great, they were more than
realized. It was quite a success.

For sometime it had been rumor
ed that Mr. llcat'i was to give a
barbacuc in Lee, and many looked
forward with joyous anticipations
to that day of gaycty and pleasure.
Mr. Heath was known to lie a
high-toned and successful farmer
in Lee county, and by his courtesy
and genial manners, his superior
farming abilities and tact ns a
business man, tins won the confi
dence nnd esteem of his acquaint
ances everywhere, besides 'gaining
far himself a wide-spread repula-
lion as tui excellent farmer. It was
known, too, that whenever this
gentleman undertook anything he
generally made it n success. No
wonder, then, the announcement of
Mr. Heath's intended barbaeue ex
cited no sina'I degree ol interest
throughout tlie county, and even
beyond its limits.
At last the appointed day arriv
ed, and on Friday, August lltli,
the crowd liegan to gather quite
early, and at the early hour ol ten
