FROM HATCHER STATION.
Hatciieji Station, September 8.—Af
ter a hot find dust j ride of ot# r twenty
! miles we arrived in Lumpkin on Tues-
! day last for the purpose ot taking a part
in the convention of the 12th district Sen
atorial convention, embracing the coun
ties of Qaitmnn. Stewart and Webater.
At 12^0'clock the convention was called
to order by Dr. D-irnum, chairman of the
Senatorial exeoutivc committee. Dr. J.
E. Carter, of Stewart, was elected perma
nent chairman, and A. E. Keese, of Quit-
man, and W. M. Sear*, of Webster were
made permanent Secretaries. It was
noon discovered that tho matter of repre
sentation in the convention was the un
ruly hull with which vre had to grapple.
Heretofore, on account oi the fact that
Stewart county had two representatives
in the lower houxe of the legislature, and
Quitman and Webster only one each,
these had conceded to Stewart head, boms
and rope of thin bull and were content to
simply pull at the tail occasionally and
cry out gee or haw; but now that Stew
art has lost one of her membera in the
lower houxe, and democratic usage
throughout Georgia baa settled the* ratio
of representation in all her State and
district conventions on the basis of rep
resentatives in tbe lower house, these
two smaller counties having as many
members in the lower hnnse as Stewart,
they claimed so equal showing in the
management of tho bull, which claim was
peremptorily and boldly denied us.
Giving up the point so far as the present
convention was concerned, the conven
tion proceeded to ballot tor a candidate,
which provod u deml lock. One hund
red and ninty-tlve ballots were had and
no nomination, although tho majority
rulo prevailed. A proposition wax then
submitted by Webster and Quitman, to
nominate tlie man Stewart desired if
they would agree that in the future tbe
rule of representation ax adopted by the
State and congressional conventions
should govern; but this met by a bold
moauncismento that Stewart had tbe
numerical strength ovei us and would
never submit to the idea that those two
little bob-tailed, baby counties ahould be
equal with her. and that we should have
only nuch share ot the bull as she in her
genorous nut-shell conscience felt in
dined to givo us. This in tho first effort
at political ostracism in the democratic
party boldly and dofinntly made within
my knowledge, and it was supported
with a burst of brmbastic jargon, but at
length sober reason was enthroned in at
least one member of the Htewart delega
tion, who cstno to the rescao of right and
justice, thereby redeeming tbe conven
tion from a fatal burst nod restored har
mony. as will appear by the following
resolution by the united vote of Webster
and Qaitmnn and the one delegate from
Htewart.
In view of conflicting opinions oh to
both the ratio of representation of the
different counties now in Senatorial Con
vention assembled, and the right of the
counties to name the Senator for the 12th
Senatorial District of Georgia, be it
Beeolred, That ail Senatorial Conven
tions hereafter to assemble in this dis
trict, the ratio of representation adopted
for the government of the Gubernatorial
Convention of the State and the Con
gressional districts to wbioh the oounties
of this district belong, shall be adopted
as the rule of governing reprerentation
in this district in Conventions.
Resolved, That Hon. C. C. Humber, of
Stewart, be and is hereby declared by
acclamation to be the candidate for
Senator for tbe 12th District
Resolved, That these resolutions be
and arc hereby adopted as a whole.
These resolutions were adopted by a
majority vote of tbe Convention, and
thus was ended a long, tedious snd
boisterous discussion and harmony pro-
aerved. So long ax the district stands as
it now docs, this compact should be ob
terved in good faith and doubtless will
be, by all the counties composing tbe
district.
The cotton crop continnes to dwindle
off and no donbt now remains that the
crop will full below two-thirds of an
averugo crop. Many fields on sandy
lands are nearly gathered and pans out
about half a crop. More peas are being
gathered than any one year within the
last decade, so that with a good corn
crop, peas and potntres in abundance,

Diwtox, Ox. 8*1*., 10.—A Urge dele-
gstion from oar city attended tb. meet
ing at Dover but 8unday where they en
joyed an excellent sermon from Rev. P.
8. Twitty on the subject of ‘-Idolatry";
bad a good dinner, snd s pleasant time
generally. Several couples of young peo
ple (inclnding the "young ladies on the
corner") called on Mias Lollls Howard
between sermons, and were kindly treat
ed to ioa cream aud cakes in abundanoo.
Preaching In the afternoon and evening,
and will na continued till next Sabbath
and probably longer. Rev. Sam Jones
oonld not attend the meeting, aa was ex
pected, on account of engagements in
IVaeo, and other large citiea in Texas.
Mr. K. F. Ivey, of Baker coonty, waa
in our city last woek, trying to aell ont
bis crop of scuppernonga. Ha says be
has at least three hundred busbela, and
his neighbors estimate his crop at from
400 to 500 bnabele. Ha offers to sell his
entire crop at 40 cent, per bushel. Some
energetic man wbo understands tbe
business, might make a good thing of
such an enterprise.
There are, inside tbe incorporation of
onr city, aix cotton gioe, run by three
engine#, running on full time, and turn
ing out from 30 to 50 bale# per day.
One grist mill, one saw mill, oil mill,
car factory and artesian well, ail runoing
at tba same time, and when they blow
off at noon or night, a stranger wonld
imagine himself in a very large mannfac-
luring city.
T. J. Hart A Co's, new carriage reposi
tory is nearly completed. Tbe two large

Onr lady friends are taking tip con
tributiona this week and will give a tine
supper and party at Hart's Unit on next
Friday night. The admission fee will be
fifty cents per bead, tb. proceeds to lie
invested for nniforms for onr military
company. Every good citizen should
feel an interest in this matter, and, at
least, attend Ilia supper which will be
well worth tbe cost. Bring your families

of about a week, died at 7J o’eloek this
morning, of membraneni ioflamation of

sympathy to bia wife and children and

Mrs. H. 8. Lee. who baa been spending
about three weeks with relatives and

Mr. C. T. Cbevea, of Albany, is in onr

WEBSTER COUNTY.
Pukkton. On., 8opt. G.—We are glad
to note that s line rain fell here last Fri
day, it being tbe first in live wooks. Tbe
farmers, of oourse. were made glad. ^ Po
tatoes and pete have suffered greatly on
aceount of drouth, but with tbe prelect
mins, and a few more in ffitnre, we may
yet expect n fair yield. Tbe cotton pick
ing season haa struck ns squarely and
pickers are in great demand. Frnm tbe
present outlook, the,season will not con
tinue longer than October, as tba crop
wilt fall short, canaed by a kind of mat.
Tbs people of Webster seem to like tbe
Uki-oiiiikk batter than ever. They could
not help admiring the manly position it
assumed in regard to Sehlcy'a Senator.
From Messrs. Nicholson and Dixon,
wbo returned yesterday, from Americua,
wo learned that A. P. & L. It. R. would
be built on tho narrow gnage plan.
While wa are a atrong advocate for such
n road, especially on this route, there are
numbers of others in Wabater, anil aomo
are heavy atockholdcre, who object to the
building oi a narrow gnage, which la
likely to get np confusion and cause
many subscriptions to be withdrawn.
This ia said, by many, to be a preconcer
ted arrangement, originated by tbe stock
holders of Americas to smash tbe enter
prise. Whether this be tine or nntrue,
we are not prepared to aay; but wa are
loath to ballaro that the citizens of
Americas, reputed aa they are (or honor
and integrity, would in n single instance
act with such perfidy. We think the
people of this county sbonld hold their
stock and defeat any plan originated to
hinder tbo building of aald road. It
would be better to haven narrow gnage
road than nnno at all. Beaidcs, if aneb a
road lie bnilt, it is likely tint it will be
both equipped and operated independ
ently. Therefore, we will have a now
road, with first class material and one
well capacitvd for tho business required.
The Representative stars have arisen
with great brilliancy, yet there are a
number of amaller ones, whose feeble
light, are seen flickering in the distance,
impatiently waiting for kind friends to
lift them over tbo political horizon.
Among these bright meteors ono ia seen
soaring higher than the other; one whoso
wisdom crowns history's pages, and
whoso deeds of worth and gonuino man
hood should ever find a living response
in tbe hearts of bia fellowmen. Judge
Harrell aeeks not the honor, butwa seek
for truo worth and will find it In him.
Ha haa enjoycil the honor of higher posi
tions, and if he chose might rest peace
fully on hia well earned laurels; but
always ready to aaeriflea bia personal
Interests to the good of friend* and
country, be yields to their solicitation,
Hurrah for Harrell. Cam.

Tbo October Harper’* will con
tain a* • ftontis-piece a charming
picture by Mr. Abbey ot “JnditK

liam Blnck’s story, which nears Its
close, and will have more of the
delightful engraringslfrom the pen
ds of Dlelman and Gibson, iuns-
trating E, P. Roe’s “Nature**
Serial Story,” part eleven. Both
Mr. Houghton and Mr. Abbey illni-
trato tbe instalment of the formei’s
clever “Artist Strolls in Holland,"
which will appear in that number.
Horsoe E. Soudder will take tbe
reader to Copenhagen, ‘‘‘The Home
of Hane Christian Anderson,” and
Rufua F. Zogbaum to “The Home
of Tommy Atkina,” who is quite
another kind of person. Tommy
Atkins is tho popular name for the
British soldier, snd the home de
scribed is tiro great camp at Aider-
shot. Both these papers will be
fully illustrated, tbe latter by tbe
writer himself. A Mexican metro
polis, Monterey, will be described
and illustrated in aa article colled
“The Gateway . of the Sierra
Madre,” by Frank R. Brown. Two
historical papers, one on Kingb
College (now Colombia), New
York, by John MacMullen, and
tho second by Rev. TreadwcU

two biographical—one a reminis
cence of Mr. Darwin, with « por
trait of him in middle age, the
other tbe remarkable story of »
slave horse-jockey, Charles Stew

a Southern lady, will be features
of the number. ‘ One ot the miscel
laneous papers, on “Municipal

secretory to Mayor Grace, of New
York, will attract much attention,
and there will bo the usual variety
of stories, poems, snd departments.
What Can be Done on Five Acres.

The city of New Orleans is built
on swampy, l»s’ land, almost in the
delta oi the Mississippi. Many
large buildings ure slowly settling
into tbe soft earth, or gelling into
leaning |H>sition. Tho custom
bouse, commenced so many years
ago that the memory of the oldest
inliubiinnt does not run to the
contrary, lies never been finished,
stands tojdny without a permanent
roof, is sinking an inch in six years
and if the world will Inst long
enough It is only a question ot
time as to when the officials in tho
lower lloor will have to move up
one story, and keep on moving at
staled intervals until they get to
that part where Lite roof ought to be.
One of tlie curiosities to be ex
hibited at tbe New Orleans cx|>osi-
