AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Locust Grove, as It Was Seen by a
Morning Call Correspondent.
Pomona, G a., Sept. 19, 1392— -
A lighting from one of my tineertait
md erratic flights this week, 1 fount
oiyself surveying that ancient neigh
no-of ours, which antedates our owl
bustling and busy Griffin many years,
but which the fates or circumstances,
or somebody else appears to have cou
spired against. But, like Banquo’s
ghost. Locust Grove appears to be hard
to down.
Situated in the midst of some of the
finest farming land in the South, slit
was a center of wealth aud culture he
tore tiio chinquepin ceased to bloom on
the crossing of Hill and Solomon streets.
But the railroad, that most prominent
factor in civilization, came this way aud
Griffin, with that advantage immediate
ly outclassed her little rival beyond
the Towaliga. Thus matters stood for
nearly a half century. Then the East
Tennessee in extending her lines to the
sea took advantage of that beautiful
plateau between the Towaliga and the
Octnulgee, aud Locust Grove became
a railroad town. Her growth in the
last decade has been rapid, but healthy,
and now she is one of the biggest little
places in all Georgia.
Her business is transacted through
seven mercantile firms, and a large ter
ritory is thus supplied. They all do a
large business and some of them have
recently been building additional store
room. Two drug stores grace her
streets, but somehow drug stores never
were profitable there. We suppose it
is too healthy. Dr. Peek aud Dr.
Heflin are also there to administer to
the needs of the afflicted, hut beyond
setting a broken bone or dressing a
wound, their practice appears to be
small, and really the only thing at
the Grove that don’t appear to pros
per are the druggist and the M. D’s.
Two handsome churches lend an air
of piety to the place, that the rush of
business might otherwise trample out.
Rev. Mr. Rosser serves the Methodist
Episcopal and Rev. B. W. -J. Graham
preaches at. the Missionary Baptist.
Each of the churches have a strong
membership.
A first class graded school is anoth
er attractive feature. It is presided
over by Prof. Arnall, of Tennessee,
who, by the way, is one of the most
thorough educators in this country.
Fall term opened the second Monday
in September with a fine attendance.
Aii addition is being built that when
(ompleted will give a total seating ca
pacity' of 225.
One of the most interesting features
of the place is the oil njll. It is worth
coming to see. It was put up four
years ago by a company of local mer
chants and planters at a cost of $22,.
000. It is fully equipped with the
very best machinery. The daily ca-i
pacity of the mill is ten tons of seed
and the output this season will be
1,200 tons. The warehouses have a
storage capacity of 800 ton. We
were shown through by that clever
and enterprising gentleman who is
always largely interested in every pro !
gressive move the place has experienced J
—and it was a pleasure to be chap- j
eroned by such a man as R. F. Smith.
But excuse me for becoming so ve
hement. Let us look at this mill a lit
tie more. Everything is done by
machinery. The seed are carried from
the wrrehouse to the gins where it is
all re-ginned and about 25 pounds of
Hut is secured from each ton of Seed, j
The seed then passes to a crusher where
it is broken and the hulls are sifted out
and carried to the engine room lor fuel.
I ° j
The broken seed are then passed be
tween heavy rollers and are ground
fine. They are now ready to be cooked.
From the scalding vats they pass on,
j still warm to the press. Here, by hy
draulic pressure, it is forced to yield up
] every drop of oil, which is piped to
'the oil tanks in an adjoining room,
; from whence it is again piped to the
the railroad oil tanks aud shipped to
the refineries, from where much pf it
goes out and is finally bought by the
consumer as pure olive oil. But let’s
jgo back and see what becomes of the
residue after the oil is pressed out. It
I comes from the press in the form of
j oil cake, and is as hard as brick. A
small boy feeds it to a hopper near by
i and it ci mes out below as cotton seed
meal and is splendid stock food or a fine
fertilizer. Heretofore it has been man
ufacturtd into guano, hut we were in
formed th it uo guano would he manu
factured this season. We were told
that the mill had been paying splendid
dividends, the smallest annual divi
McDONOUGII, GA., FRIDAY. OCTOBER 7, 1802.
dend heretofore being 22 per ceut.
The mill is under the superintendence
of Mr. J. R. Williams, who keeps
everything lunning like clockwork.
Locust Grove is also rapidly coming
to the front as a fruit center, and well
she may, for I must say I never saw
lands better adapted to fruit growing
than those lying around the place.
High, rolling in easy grades, good soil,
with that red clay so much desired, it is
just the place to grow fine fruit. The
first vine)ards were set four years ago
oy R. F. Smith and W. J. Smith, and
the acreage has increased lapidly since
then. The first shipments wore made
last season and the return for last sea
sou aud the current season have been
very encouraging. Shipments will he
made next year in car lots. With that
advantage the growers will reap profits
such as they never knew in the palm
iest days of King Cotton. The in
tnstry was started as a direct result ol
the success at Pomona. The acreage
will be largely increased tins winter,
and Locust Grove bids fair to become a
live competitor with Griffiu, Pomona
and the other fruit centers. Mr. R. F.
Smith proposes to foster this new inds
try by Selling a part of his 2,000 acres
of land in small lots, on easy terms, to
parties who wish to embark in this new
aud seductive industsy. His lands,
which lie immediately in and around
the town, include some of the finest fruit
land in Middle Georgia, and with the
advantages whcli the soil and location
affords, is hound to become very valu
able. Lands are very cheap now, but
are going up rapidly, and the lucky man
will be the one who gets there first.—
Chas. T. Smith, in Griffin Morning
Call.
Battle Blinded.
It was in the streets of Fredericks
burg, as the army was thrown across to
attack Lee in his impregnable position,
says the New York Sun. Deep down
in the heart of every confederate on
ihe lines that day was pity for the men
in blue drive forward to the slaughter.
Those repeated charges made against
that tqrrible stone wall at the base of
Marye’s Hill were not incited by brav
ery hut horn of reckless desperation
and despair. Men saw that there
was not the faiutest hope of winning a
victory, but they charged and grew in
toxicated at sight of the awful slaugh
ter.
Shell aud grape and canister and
bullet screamed aud whistled and sang
as never before or after. The lines
could not be kept dressed under that
tire. Men falling dead or wounded
pulled those yet unhurt down with
them in their fall. Here and there de
tachments huddled together like fright
ened sheep; again, lines suddenly
broke and the men would not rally,
though they turned their faces to the
foe and fought on.
A shell had exploded on the right of
an advancing regiment, killing oue and
wounding seven or eight men. Con
fusion followed. A captain sprang
out with drawn sword and sought to
rally the men of his company. He
was a grand looking man, tall and
knightly, and he had the voice of a
lion, even in that awful uproar, with
death within arm’s length of 75,000
men. 1 could not help hut notice the
rnau. A bullet loosened one end of a
shoulder strap, but he never knew it.
Another ent the cloth of the upraised
right arm, but only one or two men
saw the dust of it.
“Into line, men—into line !” he kept
shouting. “Fall in, Company A|! The
old second wants you to lead the
tv*
way !
His words were heard away back in
the supporting column and men who
1 could not see him for the dust and
1 smoke cheered him. I had my eyes on
him when something passed my face.
It was like a flash of lightning —a
streak of flame and smoke. The cap
tain’s anus went up and be sank dowu
in a heap. I thought lie had been
struck and instantly killed. Two of
his men extended their hands and he
struggled to his feet and said :
“Lead me to the rear I am stone
I blind.”
His eyes were wide opon, but sigt
less. Shell or shot had passed so close
|to his face that he would never see
, again.
“My mother in law never under
stands a joke,” says a correspondent.
“I finish a good story, aud she always
looks up and asks, ‘well, what did the
ther man sav ?’ As she can’t appre
date wit, I was surprised to receive a
Ifctter from her a few weeks after my
little boy had swallowed a farthing, in
which the last words were: ‘Has Er

A STRANGK MANUSCRIPT. I
And not so Very Strange Either
When we Conte to Think About It.
The following ancient manuscript
was found in Burke county by one of
our citizens who asks for its publica
tion. Its ancientness is proven by its
general style, which was in vogue at
the time of the first settlement of Geor
gia. It may have been buried by the
Quakers, who cut the first road through
this county, as it is their style of writ
ing aud speaking: ■
“Now for a long time there was war
between the house of Grover and the
house of Beujamin, him of the hat;
which war did come down from their
fathers. And Benjamin strove against
Grover, hut succeeeed only in part be
cause the country to the southward
did not cleavo unto the house of Gro
ver.
“Now when Benjamin, him of the
hat, saw that he strove ami succeeded
not, he called a couneil of Ins wise
men, and inquired of them a way by
which he might possess the whole
laud For aforetime lie did not own
the people, but did tax them.
“And one of his servants, wise above
all his brethreu said, ‘why should my
lord be vexed because 'of this thing.
Send forth thy servants to steal away
the hearts of the people unto some
other ruler than the house of Glover
or the house of my lord, the king, and
then, when they are divided, we will
come in aud possess the land for thee.’
And the saying pleased Benjamin
much, and he ordered tl&t it he done
according as his servant had said.
“Now there went forth to do the
king’s bidding one of his servants call
ed Weaver, who, to deceive the people,
made as if he inveighed against the
king and was desirous to rule in his
stead. And with much fairness of
speech he did deceive the people, and
they forgot he did aforetime rob their
fathers with a great robbery and had
sought to kill them and put their chil
dren in bondage, and he coveted
earnestly that he might sow the land in
salt.
“Now the chief of his helpers was
the wife of a man of the west country
where the plains are. And as slio did
vex him greviously all the days of his
life, he said go ye and tarry thero un
til thou art ready to leturn. So she
ceased to vex him for a season, and
went fortli to vex the people to the
southward. And her voice was the
voice of a cat fight when the moon
shineth not, hut to some of the people
it was like unto the sound of music,
and many of the foolish men of the
land said would that she were my wife,
and they knew not the sorrow of him
whose wife she was.
“Now in the process of time it came
to pass that many people of the land of
Burke, being deceived, dfd follow hard
after these servants of the house of
Benjamin and knew not they were en
emies.
“For if the crops did fail they said
behold the house of Grover did it. And
if the murrain was among the cattle, or
there was hail or dtought or any troub
le in the laud, they say it all the more.
And they did shoot out the lip and wag
the head, and say behold how grevious
ly the house of Grover doth vex the
people.
“Now the wiser people knew that
for a long time the house of Grover
had suffered loss because of them. He
went forth to battle against Benjamin,
him of the hat, for their sakes, and
they were grieved because of the folly
of the land. So they called all the
people who were favorable unto him to
meet upon a set day in her chief city.
Upon that day many of the wise
men and honorable men, both rich and :
poor, met together and with one voice
did set Enoch to be the captain of tho
host who warred in that land for the
house of Grover. There were already
captains over the hosts of Benjamin
aud the Weaverites. who did fight to
gether against Enoch and his valiant
men.
“Among the chief of them who did
follow after the Weaverite was Omaha
and John surnames Tootsey, and the
other John, a Ilamite. And they did
valiantly for Weaver, him of the flan
nel mouth.
“As the time drew near when tha
kings go forth to battle, Enoch sent
men to number the hosts of the house
of Grover, and there were found C 79
young men of war trained for battle.
Now when the Weaverites saw this
they were greatly amazed and aston
ished for the space of fourteen days for
they saw that the people for the most
part did follow Grover, and their hearts
grew weak within them.
“Then came certain of their rulers
and talked to the rulers of the camp of
Benjamin, and said come yo and be
friendly with us and we will destroy
the house of Grover and we will give
you much goods And some of the
leaders thereof went, hut abode in their
own tents.
“Now when the VYeaverites had
pitched their camp over against that of
Enoch aud his hosts, they sent men
through all their camp to number their
hosts, aud they were found 240 men
able to do battle. Then they laid
hold of whomsoever they found, even
the sons of Ham, who dwelt in the
camp of Benjamin, and all the sick and
all the maimed of every sort whatsoev
er who were not able to go down to
battle and said, give us, we pray thee,
thy nano and come stand with us ’til
thou art numbered so that we may
have somewhat to terrify the army of
Enoch. And sonic they did buy with
a reward, and some did go, being de
ceived, and some, being lame, they did
bear in their arms, and thus they did
until they had about 700 sick and well,
hut only a part did hear arms. Then
said they all with a great shout, the
hosts of Grover are hut as grassoppers
before us, for we have a thousand and
three score and four men.
Now, when the spies, whom Enoch
had sent to search out the enemy’s
camp, returned with tnese tidings there
was much laughter among the hosts of
the house of Grover. And tho Wea
verites waxed wroth because of this,
aud said, is thy servant a dog that he
should db those things, and they smote
upon the breasts as if to do battle hut
they gavo it not.
Now it came to pass that when the
camp of Weaver aud Benjamin were
joined, whensoever a Weaverite went
into his tent to slumber that when he
awoke behold a Hamite did lie by his
side, aud whensoever ho did seek to
eat the savory meat that delighteth the
nostrils, behold a Hamite had already
eaten it. And this was fqr tho space
of m any days, until many of the Wea
verites had fled their tents, when the
Hamites returned unto their own campß
enriched by their spoils, which for the
most part were broken promises and
savory meats which tho Woaverites did
cook upon poles.— Waynesboro True

Wliat Is a Wife?
Tne pretty school teacher, for a little
diversion, had asked her class for the
best original definition of “wife," and
the hoy in the corner had promptly
responded : “A rib.”
She looked at him reproachfully, and
nodded to the hoy with dreamy eyes,
who seemed anxious to say something.
“Man’s guiding star and guardian
angel,” he said in in response to the
nod.
“A helpmeet,” put in a little flaxen
haired girl.
“(>uo who soothes man in adversity,”
sugested a demure little gjrl.
“And spends his money when lie’s
(lush,” added the incorrigible boy in
the coroner.
There was a lull, and the pretty,
dark-eyed girl said slowly :
“A wife is the enemy of spinsters.”
“One wiio makes a man hustle,”
was the next suggestion.
“And keeps him from making a fool
of himself,” put in another girl.
“Some one for a man to find fault
with when things go wrong,” said a
sorrowful little maiden.
“Stop right there,” said the pretty
schoolteacher; “That’s the best defi
nition.”
Later the sorrowful little maiden si
dled up to her and asked :
“Aren’t you going to marry that
; handsome man who calls for you near
ly every day ?”
•‘Yes, dear,” she replied, “but with
!us nothing will evei go wrong. He
| says so himself.”

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
The Editor Announces the Plan of
Ills Political Campaign.
Our Platform—We do not only be
lieve that we are eminently qualified to
fill tho position of state senator, but
we make no bones of tho fact that wc are
humping ourselves to secure tho nomi
nation from this district. We have re
ceived quite a number of letters in
quiring as to our views on certain
matters and we hereby append a few of
them.
1. We “take sumtliin’,” occasional
ly, hut will get right down to spring
water and hang to it if the rest of the
crowd will.
2' We want to see every working
man earning $lO per day and every
capitalist doubling his money.
3. We favor any tariff which will
please the crowd.
4. Durn tho Chinese !
5. Wo are pledged to a low rate of
taxation and a high price on mules.
That’s about all up to date, but we
stand ready to answer all further ques
tions. We shall go into this campaign
on a different lino from anything here
tofore adopted. Our opponent will
probably be the Hon. Joseph Mini
man. We have had his record for the
past six months. Wliilo he was yet a
youth his mother eloped and his father
went to prison. As ho grew lip ho
robbed a store, burned a school house,
stole a horse and got fifteen years for
manslaughter. Ho broke jail to come
west, and has had a noose around his
neck twice in this territory. He a
valuable liar, a magnificent dead beat
and a tricky rascal in general. All
this, however, we shall carefully sup
press during our canvass. Neither on
the platform nor in our paper shall we
allude to him as anything hut an hon
orable gentleman. Wo do not believe
in campaign slanders and vituperation.
Heretofore it has been the habit of
candidates to put on an old red shirt,
slouch hat and corduroy trousers and
go among the hoys as one of them, and
liquor has been free. We shall appear
at various meetings in a plug hat,
boiled shirt, regular collars and cuffs,
and a Prince Albert coat, Now and
then we shall have our shoes blacken
ed with regular blacking. Wo owe it
to our dignity and to the dignity of
the office we hope to fill. Some of the
opposition will probably take us for a
squirt and attempt liberties. All such
will only have to spit on our low-cut
shoes to find two guns ready for active
service. We shall do no treating as a
regular thing, no niattor wliat course
our opponents pursue.
If elected we shall have considerable
patronage to digpose of. There won’t
he any civil service about it, however.
It will be given to those of our parti
sans who have yelled the loudest for
our election, and we shall make it
soon. Any one wanting a bill put
through the next legislature should
call or write to us as soon as possible.
During this campaign we shall not
editorially advert to our narrow mind
ed, small souled contemporary. He is
sworn to do all he can to defeat us
with his 4GO circulation, hut as we can
always buy up 455 copies of every is
sue, and the others are dead-beads in
some way. In his last he affirms that
we killed our mother and - f! 1 i. m
Vermont, l:u Du* <i ird fo’l i t: ‘ us
his old v. ’.H r on pay day.
Y. t b.i\e he. I. Uji.eii if »e shaH do
a..y sliwji'i - ’ nr canvass. We
hope 1 1 avoid H, hut t h ■ opposition
' must not presume too far. We are
willing that others should he heard,
and we propose to bo heaid ourself.
There are towns where they don’t
like us, but we shall appear and he
heard just Llie same. We have heard
j of candidates being tossed in a blanket,
j but we have no fear of such an occur
rence happening to us. We expect to
I be guyed about our plug hat, ridiculed
J about our boiled shirt, aud probably
1 menaced because of our generally gen
j teel appearance and fumble demeanor,
but we hope we shan't be obliged to
attend any coroner’s inquests, and
j therebv interrupt our programme

An important figure in the state to
day is that dirty, odd looking combina
tion of patches known as the ontfgal
lus Georgia boy.
Ragged and pale and often hungry,
nobody envies the poor little fellow as
he trudges along the street, and the
great big, solemn patches that stare
out from the rear of his pantaloons are
rarely, if ever, gazed upon with indif
ference. If they fail to provoke a
tear from the kind-hearted aud sympa
thetic they are sure to excite laughter
among the idle and unemployed who are
reared, as it were, in the clover of' cir
cumstances are and not easily touched by
“another’s woe.” Life to them i.s a
world of sunshiuo and levity—a vast
theater in which they havo eyes aioue
for its trifles and its comedy.
Hut that same little fellow, viewed
in the light of Georgia’s past history—•
that very samo boy with the dirty face
and one suspender—is a far more im
portant individual and is rather to be
envied for his future prospects than
many of the rich and well-fed boys
who laugh at him. He is going to
make a name that his countrymen will
honor and the poverty through which
he is to day passing is only the rude
discipline that is molding his character
and schooling his intellect for its future
attainments.
Grim poverty has forced him early,
though not prematurely, in to the ac
tive strife of the world, and while the
other boys of his own age are playing
in the nursery or poring ovor ‘-Lock
Robin” in front of the open fireplace,
lie is fotfted to go out and toil for his
daily bread. Hut he works like a man,
and he is a man in everything except
years. He frequently sighs as ho
thinks of the other boys who are go
ing to school aud who wear fine clothes
but then he says to himself, “just
wait a few years and I’ll bo able to
read too,” and again ho is cheered by
that feeling of independence that comes
with the responsibility of working for
others. 11 is shoulders broaden under
the weight of his heavy burden and
bis face, from associating with the pur
pose that actuates his manly frame, ac
quires that look of dignified maturity
that nature often g : ves in advance of
her civil privileges. —Constitution.
