Tho Tribune of Borne Is once
more forging to the front among
Georgia papers. Editor Harris and
Proprietor Seay are spending mon

and It bids fair to beoome the great
paper it once was.
There is quite a discussion In va
Tlous cities of the State as to
whether aldermen whose terms of
office have not yet expired are
eligible to the office of mayorjunder
the present law. Lawyers differ in
their opinions. The only way to
decide the matter la (for some olty
to elect an alderman, and then
bring it before the courts. But up
to date no city has been 5found
which is willing to take such a
risk.
How we feel for our old friend R.
Butler, editor of the Clinton (Ill.)
Public, who lives In Rowell’s dis
trict, whloh refused to return the
distinguished chairman of the
Elections Committee. The last
issue of tho Publlo has the follow,
lng:
"President Harrison, on last Sat
urday, issued his proclamation for
Thanksgiving Day, for Thursday,
the 27th of November. In It he
says: 'I commend to my tellow-
cltlzens the privilege of remember
ing the poor, the homeless, and the
sorrowful.’ We are glad the Presi
dent remembered the ’sorrowful,’
for just now that Includes the
whole Republican party, especially
the defeated candidates.’’
Below are copied three letters
from Comptroller General Wright
to Tax Receiver Mize, of this city.
They speak for themselves. If be
has made a good officer be wants
you to come out and say so to-day,
He Is a candidate for olecre-
tlon and asks your support.
Can you give It to him? “Yes
That’s right. Turntout and show
your appreciation of a good officer
when you havo one:
J. W. Mize, R. T. R. Sumter
county.
Dear Sir:—'Your digest for 1888
received, and, upon examination, I
find It very satisfactory. In neat
ness of appearance and correct and
Intelligent arrangement It com
pares favorably with any book in
the office, but the highest compli
ment to your energy and efficiency
Is the unusually large increase In
the returns. It Is certainly very
flattering to both the enterprising
people of Sumter county and your,
self. Very respectfully,
W. A. Wright,
Comptroller General,
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23,1889.
J. W. Mize, Esq., Receiver Tax
Returns, Sumter county:
Dear Sib:—Your digest for 1889
received and examined.
I And it maintains that degree of
excellence whloh usually marks
your books, while the Increase in
the returns stamps Sumter as one
of the banner counties of the State,
Respectfully,
W. A. Wriqht, Comp. Gen,
J. W. Mize, Esq., R. T. R. Sum
ter county.
Dear Sir :—Your digest for 1890
received, and after a careful exami
nation it affords me pleasure to tes.
tlfy to 11b uniform excellence.
The increase Is a remarkable one,
and places Sumter In tho front
rank of prosperous and progressive
counties, while at the Bame time it
Is very complimentary to your dil
igence and efficiency.
Very Respectfully,

AN IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.
Mr. F. B. Chilton, general man
ager of tho Southern Inter-States
Immigration Bureau, has called a
Convention to be held In Asheville,
N. C., on Dee. 17th next. The ob
ject of tbe convention is to discuss
the best plans for tbe securing of
immigration to the Southern
8tates. In all probability the
question of Inviting emigration
from Europe will also be discussed.
This convention will take up tho
work of tbe Montgomery convec
tion, held In 1888. The Record
er has already published the call
for the convention, in which It whs
shown how delegates could be ap
pointed.
From the present Indications
there will be a large number of del.
ogates present, as Asheville is
making preparations on a large
scale to receive them. These dele
gates will represent every State,
and almost every portion of tbe
South.
That tbe South needs Immigra
tion Is an undisputed fact. A well
organized Bureau representing the
South, If thoroughly equipped,
could do great work In this direc
tion, but the great stJmbllng block
heretofore has been the raising of
zuSelent funds to operate suoh a
Bureau. There are several bureaus
Which are provided for by tho
legislatures, though unfortuuately
Georgia Is not one of them, as she
depends upon personal advertising,
paid for by those who are sufficient
ly interested In the work.
Very few of the Southern rall-
roadsown large bodies of land, and
the only interest they have In im
migrate tk to sell them tlnkets. If
the delegates who will meet In
Asheville next month can secure
sofflolent financial encouragement
the rest la easy, though It will
require thorough and systematic
work. Heretofore there has been
a great prejudice in the 8outh
against European emigration, and
it Isa question of doubt whether
tbe Asheville convention will be
willing to open the doors of the
South to Europe.
It is be hoped that the convention
will find some way of placing the
ions of the South before tbe
~ ' North and West in
as to be of great
the South.
If I have made a good officer,
now ask your support.

Insurance Against Discaso.
In certain Instances there have
been arrangements made betweon
a physician and tbe head of a fam
ily that a fixed amount should be
paid for each day tbe various mem
bers of the family eouilnued In good
health. Bat should siokness enter

Suoh an agreement Is founded on
common sense, for we don’t want
to be made well, we want to bo kept
well. There Is a great deal of un
necessary sickness resulting from a
want of careful attention to bodily
requirements. Keep tbe blood
pure, keep tbe functional habits of
the body regular, counteract the
effects of exposure by always hav
ing a bottle of Dr. John Bull’s Sar.

using it In anticipation of an attack

ANOTHER R. R. FORABBEVIL
Special to Rzcohdxr.
Abbeville, Nov. 20.—Abbeville
will soon have another railroad.
The surveyors of tbe Wrlghtsville
and Teunlle Railroad passed here
yesterday en route to Tlfton. They
have made two surveys as far
this place, and this road Is also
certainty. Abbeville will, In tbe
near future, be a great railroad cen.
ter.
Brlok laying commenced this
morning on two larsre brick stores,
and soon others will follow.
Tbe artesian well is about three
hundred and fifty feet {deep, and
Mr. L. B. Clay, the contractor,
thinks he will get water ij about
ten or fifteen fee* more.
Everybody was jubilant of the
great victory won by the grand old
champion of tho South—John
Gordon.
Mr. Grasty, editor of the Haiti
more Manufacturer’s Record, gives
the following account of an inter
view with Speaker Reed, before the
adjournment of Congress.
About two months ago Mr. W. P.
Rloe, the leader In Southern Invest
ments In Boston, had occasion to
visit Washington. At his request
I went with him. Having former
ly been a noted New England Re
publican he was warmly received
by Speaker Reed in bis privato
room. Reed bad lost sight of the
fact that Rice bad placed several
millions of dollars in Southern
properties, and so he took him Into
hl< confidence. Said Reed: "See
here, Rice, something must be done
to stop this exodus of capital from
New England. The South threat
ens to parallze our industrial prop
erty. The election bill wilt call a
halt on Southern Investments, and
that’s why I am urging It so stren
uously.”

Yesterday afternoon, Mayor
N. Woolfolk was sitting in his of-
floo, when several friends walked
in and engaged blm In conversa'
tlon.
His Honor began talking
them, all the while eating some
thing that be had to oraok between
bis teeth before tbe meat was ex
tracted. Finally, one of his eallers
asked:
“What’s that you are eating,
Tom?"
“Pecans. Tiy some?”
“Thanks, yes.”
□“They are Albany pecans, too,
said tbe Mayor, “they grow right
hore In Albany.”
“Where?”
"Up hore nt Col. Tift’s. He has
several trees that are now bearing
as flno pecans as can be found In
the market. One of his trees Is
heavily loaded now. He has sev
en or eight trees fruited with this
nut, and has several more that
will bear In a few years.”
Pecan growing has long engaged
the attention of many citizens of
Southwest Georgia, Col. Tift being
one of tbe first to engage in it.
has proven a wonderful success and
the fruits of It are now being real
ized by tbe public.
Mr. J. W. Walters has some pe
can seed that ho Is going to plant
and hopes in a few years to have
some vory fine trees bearing this nut
The treesjin .this section not only

Mr. Pope, of Oglethorpe, has In

tbe liveliest discussion. It is a bill
looking toward the educatlou)of the

State University. It is proposed to
place It under the supervision of

ther provides that tbe sum of
$8,000 a year shall be appropriated
