SATURDAY, MARCH ^IST If it in true m announced by Senator Colquitt that cleanness of political meth od* mean* defeat these day*, we think it time to reform political method*. Got. Nortben will occupy the gover nor’* chair for another term. Hi* ad ministration i* a direct refutation of the theory that aurceaa in politics i* even re motely attributable to questionable po litical methods. QUEER Y” A HORSE—WEBSTER. The position of the “official organ” on the choice of congressional candidates will be announced at the proper time. It is not now of sock vital nor horning importance as to demand instant decia- 90. The “official organ” has absolutely no bias, aside from local pride, with refer* to choice of congressman from this district. We propose to give dignified hearing to the claims of all, and oar decision when rendered, will doubtless officially reflect the will of a majority of the citizens of Ware. The Hekalii would be glad to wel come Got. Xorthen and Mrs. W. H. Felton to Waycroas. The interest of the Worlds Fair needs awakening in this section. Watson ami IJvingston are the most unique figure* just now in Georgia pol itics. Their total of consistency, how ever, is entirely absorbed by the former. Farmer lien Tillman, of Kouth Caro lina, ia beginning to repair his political fences. I.any Gantt has !*een called to the editorial chair of the Columbia Regis ter, Tillman’s mouth-piece. Farmer lien has tasted the Governorship and likes it. Hon. II. E. Russell, formerly editor and manager of thi* paper, has resumed hi* connection with the Hainbridge Dem ocrat. The isMUe of that sterling sheet of last week shows unmistakable evi dence of his fine editorial hand. The leference to the circulation controversy between the Waycroas (tapers is very funny, so wc will forgive its antiquity. Col. Russel made many warm friemi* while in Waycross and his presence will be missed. We congratulate the people of Hainbridge on his return to them. ^j>eaVing of controversies, the on* ceutly indulged in between J. W. Hagan and the editor of the Valdosta Time*, covering six columns, on the subject of the Fanners Alliance ami Third party, opens up wide room for thought. Mr. Hagan evidently b*t his temper, which is usually equivalent to losing the fight. There i* a probability of losing the fast mail service between Florida and the North and East. The post office au thorities are opp<*ed to granting another appropriation for the purpose, ami wll*n the preaent one is exhausted we will fe- lapae into that condition of delightful uncertainty which existed liefore this splendid service was inaugurated. Our Board of Trade should take immediate steps to send up a strong protest against this unfortunate decision. Other com mercial Isslies all along the line doing so. The friends of Col. J. L. Sweat would like to see him represent the Eleventh district. He has the strength of his conviction, and the advantages of a wise conservatism. Jle i* not “in the fence," be is in the front ranks of progressive democracy, aud sound to the « national issues. rainier of Illinois, looms up a* a prom- iueut Presidential possibility. He has the credit of carrying a strong Kepubd- cau mate for the Democratic party and could proliably do it agaiu as candidate for President. It begin* to look as if New York will not continue to occupy the distinguished position of the “pivotal State. The United States Supreme Court lias handed down some important decisious during the week. One sustaining the “uo quorum.’ rulings of the late house ot representatives, which undoubtedly gives delight to Cxar Reed and hia Republican fellowers. Another austaining the Mc Kinley law, including the reciprocity clause, and another declaring that the contract lalsw law does not prohibit the importation of pastors of churches. Mr. Blaine reluctantly contribute* to the press hia version of the unfortunate ilomcstic difficulties of his am, J. G. Blaine, Jr n and gives a different color to the case aa understood from the many communication* ao freely given the pub lic by the yoong wife and divorcee. The censure cannot be too severe on the young scapegrace whose thoughtless act brought such cruel mortification to his diatinguised father and loving mother, lit* the veil be drawn on this scene of unhappiness and let other wild young men of honorable parents take warning of the paralysis of ambition and the store of disappointments that have be gun their retributive work on the life of thia young man, who by one thought!* act, the culmination of many other* no doubt, ruined his .?wn happiness and embittered the lives of his kindred. A WORD TO OUR FARMERS. The executive committee of the Texas bankers association has Issued an address to farmers and business men urging a 15 per cent, reduction in thi* year’s cotton acreage. Thi* is right, and would be better if the recommendation was for 25 per cent, reduction. A short crop will give an increased price, and if every farmer will adopt thiajilan be will find that at the end of the season cotton ia still a paying crop. Don’t try the customary sharp practice of planting a larger acreage in the hope that every other farmer will plant less. If you do you will find that your uncom mon shrewdness has been a dismal failure for every other farmer will have done the same, and your crop will leave you again in the wrong column at the close of ’92. Devote more land to the cultui corn, potatoes, sugar cane, hay, fruit and vegetables and the raising of stock and you will be independent of the North and West, and l*e able to dispose of your surplus tokarco or eotton crop to better advantage. J*rof. Hunnicutt tells the. fanners that there i* no such thing as overproduction, but will the accomplished professor tell us what he would call the condition of affairs when one million hales of cotton is sufficient to supply the world, and the planters raise two million bales ? Wc have surely produced, in that se, a surplus of one million bales, which, seeking a market Is sure to re duce the price. There are four territories, namely, Ar izona, New Mexico, Utah and Oklahoma that are knocking for admission into Statehood. It is believed that the House committee on territories will favorably report the Utah bill, likewise those for the zJmimion of New Mexico and An- INSPECTING THE RAIL WA YS A party of distinguished gentlemen passed through Waycross on Wednesday and stopped an hour at the Union depot The party was composed of President H. B. Plant, of the Plant System of rail ways; H. M. Flagler, E. B. Haskell, of the Boston, Massachusetts Herald; D. F. Jack, R. a Smith, K. G. Erwin, Col. H. S. Haines, M. J. O’Brien, Col. J. H. Es- till of the Savannah Morning News, and other*. Mr. 1*1 ant and his coadjutor* are makiug a thorough inspection of the properties of the Plant system. Thus far, we understand, they have been very well satisfied with the condition roads they have passed over. A Frightful Explosion. Savannah was startled on last Mon day morning at an early hour, by a shock that was supposed by many to be an earthquake, but which was soon learned to he the explosion of the stationary en gine in the shops of the S. F. A W. Railway. The two-fitory brick building which contained the engine is a complete wreck, the engineer and fireman were killed and the porter too badly injured to be able to give any account of how the ac- cideut occurred. The master mechanic’s office, where a great many |»eople worked, was literally tom to pieces, and had the explosion taken place an hour later, when the workmen would liave assembled, the loss of life would have been frightful. The distraction of this property will throw probably a hundred people out of em ployment. Engineer Murphy, who was killed, was very po|»ular among the em ployees. A (lead Ward for Wayrram and Wara County. E. R. S.,” writing up Waycross in the Brunswick Time* last week attrib utes much of her prosperity to her ex cellent public schools, saying truly that “there is not a town in South Georgia having any better educational facilities.” She writes up the industries of oar town idimjra. “The price of land in Ware county is not high, and in soil, climate and situa tion it u admirably adapted for track forma and vineyard*. A nursery which was located, nine year* ago, in the pine woods just oat of Waycroas, b now sending out fruit trees, vines, efe, all over the country. This b bat one of the m»ny proofs that this section might ri val some of the most famous fruit grow ing districts in the union, if proper ef forts were pat forth. The soil amply repays, in almost any product, well di rected labor. Liutenant CL R. Satteriee, Third U. & Artillery and at present acting Adjutant and Inspector General of Georgia Militia, visited Waycroas on Tuesday, March 1st, for the purpose of inspecting the Way- Rifles. It b not our purpose to anticipate Lieutenant Satteriee in re porting the credit to which the Rifles have entitled themselves and the posi tion they will hereafter occupy In Geor gia military circles. The inspection was, however, witnessed by a very con siderable and highly representative quo tum of our ladies and gentlemen, and at its conclusion the Acting Inspector Gen eral was so pleased that he did not re strain his apparent enthusiastic admira tion, but publicly outlined hb forthcom ing report in words which cannot be but gratifying to our company itself and the town upon which that company ha* re flected such generous credit ■ It may be stated that the record made at that inspection was not the {vault of any impromptu effort, but that for many weeks officers and privates have, with fixed purpose and unflagging energy, worked to give to the company that dis tinction it now enjoys. The order of exercises was opened by examination and inspection of officers. The company fell in, thirty strong; and after a most vigilant inspection of arms, uniforms and entire equipment, all of which were pronounced in first-class condition, the manual was executed with and without the numbers. The eagle eye* of him, whom one of our journals has been meaningless enough to style the “Military Oar,” then followed the Rifles through the company movements, and at the conclusion of these exercises, attention was given to the squads in command of a corporal, school of s sol dier and squads in command of a sar- gemnt school of a company. These were pronounced excellent. The company was then inverted, men changed about, new numbers assigned, and more general company movements gone through, in a manner very satisfactory to the Inspec tor Generak The inarch, from the ar mory down Plant avenue, to a point op posite the Phoenix, was watched by him with admiration, which there was no at tempt on hi* part to conceal. Said he, “Captain, I have timed them repeatedly; their step is one hundred and twenty on every minute, and the spacing of fours b invariably correct.” The skirmish drill and guard mountiug were very creditable in thcnnfelves, and of all the exercises, perhaps, to the spectators, were the most interesting. Lieutenant Satteriee, in leaving the company, after an inspection lasting over five hours, said that the military cour tesy of the men, and their keen appreci ation of the respect and obedience due the officers, was highly commendable, and that, as a company, they called to his mind the famous Savannah Cadets, to whqjn, and only whom, they had thus far ranked secoud iu the State inspec tion. gEBBUFS TAX haiyr OF UN RETURNED WILD LAND FOR 1891.
