SOW UA1VSON DOTS, Dawson, April SOtli.—Tlie pre sentments o! Sumter county Grand Jury, published In the Uecohdeb, wero rcml with a great deal of In terest here. That part which rein- ted to the County Court was a theme of conversation. The Clerk of the Court, Judge J. F. C. Clark, •sys that he will lay a copy of the paper containing the presentments before the Grand Jury of the 8u> perior Court which convenes in this place on Monday, 28th of May, so that body may take into considera tion the feasibility of recommend ing tho establishment of a County Court in this county, whereby a great saving may result to the nuan ces of the county, if a County Court is established. So you see your line of thought reaches us of ten here. Memorial dav was celebrated here with quite a degree of enthu siasm. ThcDawsonCollegeGuards were out in full numbers, and tbe ladies in tbeir “labor of love” deco rated tbe graves of our fallen Con federate heroes with spring’s moat beautiful flowers. The Commercial Department of tbe college in this city starts out this week into the business world four“fullfledged”gradustes: Rob ert Bryan, of Dawson, 8. J. 8tal lings,ofBrundidge, Ala.,aud G. W. Harrell, of Butler, Ga., all prom ising young men. The accom plished and pretty MissBirdlo Mc Nulty as also one of the graduates, In “woman’s sphere,” will illustrate bor alma mater in the busy world around her. Success tv this noble young Indy. A pretty incident took plauo at tho cemetery on Memorial day, at which time the grave of Dennis I’asobal was decorated with flow ers. Tills young man, at the time of his death, was a student in tho college here and a member ot the military compnny connected with the college. His foimor comrades garlanded his last resting place with wreaths of the prettiest flow ers. This was a most beautiful tribute to loving worth. On last Sunday Capt. B. C. Ad ams’ company look the train for Columbus to be present In that city to witness the military drill under the auspices of tbe Columbus Guards. Tho boys left anticipat ing a good lime, and they will havo it, for the hospitality of Columbus is proverbial. One ol tho institutions in this city that deserves notieo U tho ho tel under the management ol Mrs. W.II. Allen. “As a travelers home” It has no superior in the Southern States. Meet where you will the traveling publlo and to a man you will flud them most enthusiastic of the treatment .hey receive at this first-class house. Dawson could not be without it. J. K. Cos, of the large house of Cox, Hill Si Thompson, of Atlanta, pnt in bis appearance here last Mon day. Ed is one ot the best of busi ness men, and ns a friend he is bard to cxcoll. The last wo saw of him be was wending his way to the de pot to take tho train for Port Gaines and Cutbbcrl. He is a “busybody.” Judge J. B. Pilsburyand wife, of your city, were in this place on last Tuesday on a visit to relatives and friends. A sad death took place here on lut Monday from an overdose of laudanum; the wife of Mr. J. II. Tamer, who had been suffering frem a severe case of neuralgia of tbe bead for some days, io order to relieve her severe pains took an oyer dose of laudanum, and though herculean efforts were mode to save her, yet she died in a few hours alter taking the low. Pitiable to say, the leaves two little ehildren without a mother's care and love, and a fond husband to mourn the lots of a de voted wife. In noticing tbe change that eo often takes place In tbe management of the various poetofflcce ot tbe State, we are glad to say that Daw son has a postmaster who has serv ed efficiently for the last twenty years. W. R. Baldwin as postmas ter here for that long has ever won tbe encomiums of all those who baye done business with him, for faithful performance of duty. So dally no one is more popular than ho is. We have placed the name of the “Senior” upon “Dawson’s Slate” to bo present at the next term of the superior Court here in May, so Tho quarterly meeting of Daw. son and Dover pastoral charge will tske place in the Methodist cburch in Daws-m on ntxt Sunday, Pre siding Elder McDonald officiating. Eldor Stubbs, Primitive Baptist preacher, will preach near Dawson on Sunday, May !2lb. Hoh. VY. M. Hnwkcs, of Ameri cas, will deliver the literary ad dress at the cemmcrcial exercise of the South Georgia Male and Fe male college in Dawson on Tuesday, June 10th. ie. W. K. P. JOLLY Joll.Nl’REEVILLE. Juiintoervili.e, April 28 Our railroad meeting came off in the Ville according to announcement. Delegates all present. As we have been left out of the test of tbe meetings we decided to build a road of our own. We will run a traction engine from the Ville to Dawson,daily except Sunday. We will also ran the road to Lnmpkin if they will dig down a few hills and bridge the crooks. Rates same as other rosds. Will com mence running iiliout Sept, first. Dawson was represented by Messrs. Janes and Baldwin, who took live shares eaeh. Cotton looking very feeble since the cool snap, but- now improving. Cotton chopping lias commenced. Corn looking well. Messrs. Janes and Baldwin and Indies, of Dawson, arc visiting in the Ville. Mrs. Janes has been quite sick, but is improving. She will not be able to return home be fore the last or the week. Stewart Superior Court this week. Could not attend, had a previous engagement with Messrs. D. and.H. Scoril. M.tvon. hove better congregations If they j by Preston, sir, and run to (hie) did not preach quite so long. j Preston, air, by way of Lumpkin Some of the road oommlsaioners j sir, (bio ahem.) will be reported becauso they tried to do their duty. Mayor. MACON L'OUXTY. Ji nNPRREViu.E, April 25th.—We attended tbe railroad meeting in Lumpkin last Wednesday, and if the people will work like they talk, will soon have a road. There was but .few in attendance from the country, as wc have heard tbe whistle so often and no trains, wc pay but little attention to such meetings. But wc want tbe road and are will.ng to do our part to wards building it. Many want to know if the K. T. V A G. road would not have done what the Central proposes to do and let the road come through from Hawkinsvillc to Florence. Say they have seen nothing to the contrary, but if wc can get the road to Lnmpkin the county will sec that she goes through to tbe river. The little corn and cotton is on a stand still, ’ owing to the cool damp weather. Tho cotton, when up, stands very fine. Chopping will commence next week. The pros pects for a fine oat crop is very flattering at this time. Mr. S. I*. Kimbrough and lady, have been visiting In Dawson for several weeks, returned Tuesday. Miss Ida Hester came up Fri day from Dawson to see family and friends. She returned Sunday. Madam and Maggie Buchanan, or Amerious, are visiting in tbe ville, tbe guest of Mrs. Mayor. Dr. Copeland and Bro. Jackson were before tbe Mayor last week. C'aaca continued. Big railroad meeting in the ville next Saturday. Everybody invit ed. We hear that Mr. C. A. Kim brough baa moved in his storm pit comes oat only in pretty weather. 8ome of our preachers weald IJm.DEsvn.LB, April 98 Miss Ada Williams, who has been ofl visiting, has again added uer charms to the society ol Boldcnvillc. Somebody's glad. Mr. W. U. McKenzie, of tbe firm of H. C. Si W. n. McKenzIo. of near Montezuma, paid Boldenvillo a brief visit yesterday. Mr. Alonzo Jones, of Marshal- ville, was visiting around tho Ville Sunday. Messrs R. H. Sutton and Ed. English, who have been at Movre' Commercial University In Atlanta have returned home. They are good boys and apt scholars, conse quently the president granted them “sheepskins,” as they term it, and they are now fnliy qualified for commercial life. They speak very complimentary of Moore’s Univer sity. Though generally the average oat crop of this vicinity is bat or dinary, Macon county can boast of tbe earliest oats of tbe season Mr. A. W. Norris, of near this place, has oats that were sown on tbe 14th of February, wbioh were fuUy developed two weeks ago, and wiil probably be ripe in a tew days. Who can beat itf As tho numerous railroads are traversing the country, and ’'arious other branebos of enterprise are dawning to the South, the farmers of Macon county have felt it their indispensable duty to sustain tbeir enterprises, and they now carry two rows instead of one. Formerly tho single plow stock was used only, but the double stock is used extensively now, and with great satisfaction, and those who arc more eager for success have mount ed the “aulky," and oven our do crepit farmers, who havo long since retired to the shade, take an activo part in at tbe plow, (see, they can ride,) and as they arrange their horses to the sulky, and assume their comfortable attitude, with reins in band and umbrella hoisted, they crack tbeir whips and go off down the row singing “a sulky evermore.” It is getting time that some im provements wero being made fur the farmer, for as tbe great indus tries of tho North, South and the united world increase, tho re sponsibilities of tbo farmer do like wise enhance. We long to hall the day when plows will lie drawn by steam; wc long to see the day when the steam engine will no longer practice the uncomfortable and mo notonous riding of the rail, but will gallop across the field with plows attached to them. That’s what wc want to see; wc do. W. C. Tho good people of Webster are glad the Republican fores are go ing to building railroads and hope that tho next representative may bo one that can condescend to treat us with respect while among us. Wo now regard the Preston and Smlthvilie road as a fixture. Tbe officers of the road are all huslness men and they certainly mean busi ness. Oat crops improving. Corn crops gcnsrally small, but looking well. Married, near Red Hill, Stewart county, on Sunday, 20lb inst., Mr, John Glccn and Miss Mariana Bartee. Died, on Friday Utb Inst., Dan icl Davis, young son of Mr. Cullen Davis, of this county. S.S. (jUlTMAX CUU.NTY. Hatched Station, April S9th._ The cool snap which prevailed last week was tinged with light frosts for two mornings. Vegetation on low lands, oepeclallycornand cotton, tbe former was nnln|ured by it, ex cept yellowed and checked in its growth; the latter has died out con siderably, more, however, from the effects of cold than frosts, bat as the stands of ootton are ample, and ean spare over half the plants, tho crop has sustained no material in jury, tbe prevailing warm sunshine, tho plow and tho hoe, will soon cl fectuslly atop tbo plants from dying. The melon crop seems to have suffered more from the cool weather than any other crop, the deed plants, whloh arc numerous, must bo nuppllod by re planting, which will uccossarlly tuuko them later. Gardens and oat fields have started on a regular boom. Farmers aro woll up with their work; and all things consid ered the present outlook is truly encouraging to the farmers. On Sunday last a second meet ing of tbe Sunday school at Monti cello occurred to eomplcte its or ganization. Tho roll of member ship was Increased to 58, with prom ises and prospects to reach 65 or 10 members. A good showing for a country school. Dr. L. 1’. Dozier Is uoing some excellent school work by lecturing all over the coun try,and bis labors aro attended with good success. The muddy and slipper}’ banks of Pataula creek furnished an oc casional broadside fall to thejsrrragc angler and receive in return there for almost a pcrlcot profile of tho subject, except rod and line. In one day’s fishing tho angler will, perhaps, take in fifty or seventy- five cents worth of perch and cst and ruin a sills of clothes, but then It is for the sport and notjtbc profit. A few more days of sunsblno and wind, however, will dry it off—and render it more agreeable sport. The Central railroad<aut>iorities, as a matter of economy, have sus pended the iron gsng w.iteh have been for some time removing tbe stringers and subetitnting there for a tic track with heavy steel rails, and will place the work in the WEBSTER COUNTY. Preston, Ap.-ii 28th I notice in a recent issue of the Kecjiideu this paragraph: “Tho Republican, which so strenu ously objects to other papers copy ing its articles without giving cred it, appropriates without compunc ! hands of Oapt.

We hope Manufacturing .North and Hoath. CoiiMMullon A very interesting discussion «f tbe relative cost of manufacturing cotton in and out of the cotton belt has been going on between Coload (Ym. U. Young, president of tho Esgle.and Phenlx mills, and Converse, a South Carolina spinner. Mr. Yoang claims that a southern mill bass margin ot $7.4* a bale over a northern mill. As Mr. Yoang is at tbe head of the largest sad most prosperous mill in the sooth, and is a man of acknowledged ca pacity aud long experience Ineottoa manufacturing, we make room tot his figures. He first give* the oost of a bale at the doors of a Near England mill. 8st 1 bob of ootton wtiRhlag 478 ((■•..costing 10 osnls per lb *47*9 Commissions, baying, resampling and shipment |100 Waraouso dsllvsry 84 cents, dntysge to dep-l 10 ets.... 38 I*>o*l fire insurance until Shipped Sets, sad marine ii-snrsnooSS osnls 133 Average freight to a Now England interior mill, dif fering in wrighi, hot aver aging only 470 lbs., 90.100. 437 Drayage from tbeir depot to tbeir picker loom 10 Oiaeoont on sight bill (usual- ' < ly i par osnt, bat avstta- inglpsr o*oL)....,..,T.

Colonel Voung shows that • southern mill saves the freight cm the-difference between the weight of a bale and the weight of goods made from it, and by having a pub lic gin and buying planters’ rem nants and light weight bales, anoth er saving is effect, tbue bringing tbe oost of a bale In a southern mills down to $48 81, as against $54 97 In a northern mill. The gain of» southern mill Is, therefore $7.46 «a bale; and a mill that consumes fiO bales a day can, therefore, earn large dividends when northern mill are hanging on to the ragged edge ol loss and despair. Bat, add* Colonel Young, “this is not all. We aell onr bagging and Use to tbe planter* to pock tbeir ootton in, and thus gain largely over a Now England mill, and also In tbo rale of all oar woate. Again, we bay onr ootton (or can do so) today and put it in onr pick room to-mor row, and thus gain in time, toy fif teen days’ interest. There ora other local advantigea that I hare not cited.” Mr. Converse presents tho “ml*d- mum”side of tbo case. Ha-ex presses a contempt lor “oroea road publications,” and acorns to to desirous of showing that southern mills are not so prosperous as Col onel Young cays hie great mill is.- He assumes at tbe outset that New York is the market of the goods of the southern mills, area •or distribution. We give the Sr gurcs of tbe New Kagiond mlllsi 40 boles ootton of 474 lbs. s*ob, 19,000lbs.st lljo 38,13783 Freight on 40 bales cotton from New York si lljo 8373 Freight on goods to New York 10,160 lbs. st 12 jo 2019 ’ hloa-vssteniNswYorkl,- lb*, st !2}c 133 Freight ou supplies from NtW York 700 lbs. at 12jc 33 and tbe Republican's representa tive wbo attended tbo meeting was not in a condition to make out an intelligent report. In fact, be was too full of—of railroad*, street-cars, steam boats, steam engines and the like, that the steam was actual- ly eecapl :g from his eyes and month, from tbe latter after this wise: ”1 tell you, sir*, tee ore go- log to bnlld yon a railroad, sir, lrom Amerious to Lnmpkin, sir, (a voice in tbe crowd “to ran by Preston”) yes, air, to (hie) to ran bis tnffering will be of short dura tion, and ho be restored to his charge.

So that If we ac cept the moat uncomfortable figures that Mr. Convene can find, there •till remain* a good margin In favor of tho sonthero mill. Aa Mr. Con-’ verse storied out to overthrow the results of Colonel Young's experi ence, we may be aura that to toe overlooked nothing that operates to reduce the profits of soathera mills.
