Dr. W. B. Jones, of Herndon, ad dresses tbo State Horticultural So ciety upon a moat Important sub. Ject, involving the health of tbe people of this section. He takes the ground that our people cat too much meat and grease, and not ennngh vegetables and fruits; that the eating of so much meat and grease produces disease in this climate, whiio the free and constant use of Iruit and vegetables, properly cooked, conduces to health. Ho also contends tbat by the use of vegetables and trulls not only would our people be healthier, but they could have better food at loss cost. We all know tbat tho great and expensive item on our planta- lions 'is meat, while it should be lbs least. In this climate, wbero fruits and vegetables can bo grown in almost every month or the year, they ought to be tbe staple fowl. Tbe French, who understand the art of good living bettor than any people on earth, long ago dis covered that a great use of incat In 1868 it wa> agreed that Sum- ter was entitled to the Senator. A. .1. Williams of Sumter was nomi nated, but was unfortunately de feated by W. B. Jones, a Radical. Jones held his position during the years 18C8-G9-70. At tbe expire lion o( Ids terra Macon county was. under tbe rotation system, enti'led to furnish the candidate; but when the convention, or rather the scv. eral delegates, met at Americus it was thought best (Macon consent ing thereto) not to nominate, whereupon It. ('. Black was adopted by the Democrats as their candi date—there was no nomination. Black was elected and held bis scat for four years, to wit: 1871-2-3-4. At tbat time (1871) Macon elected a Radical to the House of Kepre- scntatlves in tbe uersun of Little ton Jones, who was sworn in aud took bis seat. C. B. Hudson being a Representative from .Selilcy, in troduced a resolution inquiring into his right to a scat and upon ilives ville, and also the time to have the | nomination. A motion that the nomination lor Senatorand Representative be had by mass meeting at the court: house in Kilaville. Carried. On motion the nomination for Senator and Repre dilative lie held ' on the same day, aud that the 23d day of August nt'IO o'clook a. m„ be the day to have the nomination. On motion the Americus papers were requested to publish the pro. caedings. On motion the meeting ad- jourued. K. S. Baldwin,Chairman. 0. R. McCiiohy, Secretary. BASE BALLS. -<«)- MRS. FRED LEWIS BALLS J. A. <1D. F. DAVENPORT. One of the bills which Governor Cleveland did not veto was (or tbe puuisbmeut ot the too impetuous baggage smasher. It provides for a Une ot $50 (or each smash perpe trated by a baggage-man on a piece or plunder entrusted to bis charge, and every State in the Union ought to have just such a law upon its statutes. Choct iw county, Ala., scuds to the New Orleans Exposition a hew. ed stick of yellow pine 80 feet long, ligation it was found that Jones 42 iuckes square in the middle,and was a resident of Tennessee. His cantaining 11,760 feet, hoard mess- scat was declared vacant, nnd it was filled by the olectiou of Mr. Hill, the present Mayor of Monte- xuma. This little digression is intro duced not as a part of Senatorial history, but to (ix tbe period of Macon’s deliverance. At the expi- ration of Dr. IPa.k’a term, Schley, believing that she was entitled to the Senator, presented the name of C. B. Hudson. Macou county, however, insisted that it was her time, and alter much wrangling tbe convention held that i.t whs Macon’s right and nominated Col. Felton. Col. Felton was elected and served out his term. It was now certainly time for Schley. Schloy placed in nomination J. N. Hudson as her choice. The con vention met and there was quite an etlorl made to defeat Mr. Hudson in the convention, it being admitted that Schley was entitled to the nomination, bill bail no right to uanro lire candidate. In other words, while the candidate ought to come from Schley the convention j hail the right to name tbe person. I The former rule, however, prevailed I and Mr. Hudson was nominated ! and elected. At the close of Ids j term Mr. Gnerry from Sumter was j elected, and at the expiration of his I term Msj. Frederic of Macon was nominated and elected. In every I instance the county entitled to the | Senator naming the man. In each instance it will he seeu , that Schley acquiesced aud did her I part well in tho election of the \ nominees. Maj. Frederic having | served out his term, will Macon and j Sumter now deny to Schley tbe same privilege they have enjoyed? Fair 1’i.av. tire. Another of cypress, from the Danner Land and Lumber Comp- any, is 65 feet long, 8 feet across at tbe large, and 70 inches at the small end. Some of tlie orguns are alluding to Blaine as lire Modern Henry Clay. Tala is very comforting. Henry Clay was beat out of bis boots by Jim Folk, of Tennessee. This is a startling historical fact.
