Tlie Albany Fair Again.
In our last issue, wo published a
shoit communication from Albany sta
ting that the fair llion in progress was
it complete and g'ouous success.—
Since returning and' conversing with
many of our citizens who attended
we find that they all agree with us in
the above sta'ement. All who attend
ed speak in the highest terms of the
exhibition nod of their treatment, both
by the citizens of the pluco and the
officers of the Association.
Our spnco is too limited to give de
tails. The fair was all that the mon
ey, good management, energy and en
thusiasm of an intelligent and united
community, coupled with all the ad
vantages ot a very favorable and
early'spring and abradant crops could
make i*.
One thing that we particularly noti
ced was that overy thing was so con
veniently an! systematically arran
ged beforehand that the genial pres
ident, and other officeia of the nsroei
otion, instead of being run to dearh
m\ out if humor, os is often the case
on such occasions, had time to form
the acquaintance i.nd look alter the
comfort of visitors. This adds much
to the smoothness of such gatbeiings.
Besides, the display in the seveial de
partments made ly president Welsh,
himself, and his honsehold would
alone, have made R very creditable
exhibition.
The Southwest Georgia Industrial
Association has, by the grand success
of her first fair, raised expectations, as
to its future, that some (if its fiiends
fear will be hard to meet. We, our
selves, think that Albany will have to
keep wide awake, energet c nnd con
stantly on the alert to meet in the
future theJexp"ctation she bus raised
so high by this firrt effort, but hope !
nnd pi ay that she mny prove herself
equal to all future demands.
Tint Case of Mrs. Southern.
Gov. Co’quitt, yielding to many
petitions from this and other states,
nnd after having fully investigated
the meiits of the case, has commuted
the sentence of Mrs. Rato Southern
from death by hanging to impiison
n:ent in the penitentiary for ten years.
Mrs. Southern.it will be remembered,
killed a Mrs. Cowart who,it is alleged,
was tiying to alienate from her and
secure to herself the affections and
attentions of hor husband.
The case attracted a gieat deal of at
ttniion from all parisof the country,
an! manyfp'eas, letters and petitions
wont up to the Governor in behalf of j
the condemned woman. The Gover
nor, in c< n.n uting the sentoncej
claims to have Acted on the merits of
thejease, as presented to him, without
any reference to the sex of the person
iovolvod. We believe bis action in
the matter is generally commended,
fc'orao even think that the Governor
ought to have pardoned the unfortu
nate voman. We doubt very much
if a man who had killed another man.
under the circumstances made out be
fore the Governor, would have lienn
found guilty of murder, hut itseetTis'a lit
tie strange to usthaffhe fnctsof the case
ns presented to the Governor were so
different firm tlicfe presented to the
jury, especially since there whs an
aide corps of lawyers on the defense.
It is intimated that < ffnrt will be
made for a further mit'gation of the
punishtr.cn*. Letters are published
from northern cities offering to sub
scribe money, if necessary, to extri
cate the unfortunate creature from
her dilemma, and possibly to set her
up in the world again after she is
made fie*. Such letters will proba
bly do th* woman rnoro harm than
good. Vi hilo the case may have
been, and may still l.e, ono admitirgj
or even demanding merry and clomen
ty, it might not bo best for public
morals and public safety to make a
heroics of such a woman for gneli an
d* t

The Thomnsville Fair.
As has been our custom fur a num
ber ci years,” we attended the spring
fair at Tliomasville oiv Thursday, last
We found as usual an excellent dis
play of vegetables ard Sowers, and a
largo attendance f visitors, though
we bel eve that neither was quite as
urge ns we have seen at t’"at place on
former ocea-ions. The vegetables on
exhibition were equal in size and
quality to anv we have seen, and the
display of flowers was exten-ive tasty
and beautiful. We do not know
what collections took premiums, but
specially admired the box flowers of
Mrs. Dr. Bowers, the floral designs
of Airs [llawkinsa and a flora] mon
ument, to the memory of the Confed
erate dead, by Miss Coylo.
In the vegetable department our
old friend Col. Hardaway, the model
fanner of South Georgia, made, as
usual a grand display.
Wh were shewn by Mr. Varn idoe
gome sand pears which were very
fine, and are said to he immensely
profitable to raise, being not subject
to blight, very prolific ..nd of fine fla
vor. We would advise all frui" grow
ers iu this country to secure cuMings of
these pears and raise them. Mr.
Varnadiie told us, if wo lightly re
member, that he usually sold the
pears in New York at 810 or §l2 per
bushed, and fonndjready sale for all
the cut lings that he could spare.
Wo found the officers of the Asso
ciation, especially the Secretary,
Mr. S. G. J cLendnc, very p'easaut
and courteous, and our visit to the
fair was a very enjoyable one We
founcLTriplett nnd Uansell, the two
newspaper men of the city attendee
ns usual to visiting brethren of the
quill, nnd apparently prosperous.
Brother Blocker was pro enl. —
took several volumes of notes an •
made a veiy abb and eloquent speech
in delivering si me of the iiremiums
awarded on the occasion. By the
way, Secretary, McLendon took the
premium of $5 for the ugliest
man on the grounds, at which we
were very much disappointed until a
lady friend consoled us by the sug
gestion that, peihaps, the committee
did not seo us.
Among thn well known visitors
from a distance wo noticed Cob H, H-
Jones of the Telegraph k Missenger,
Dr. Thos. P. Janes, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Prof. G. J. Orr_ State
School Commissioner, and Rev. S. S.
Sweet, correspi nd.ent i t the Savaunuh
Morning JVtws.
j.lt may he just, in this connection, to
state that Theniasville makes no effort
at her spiing fairs, except for a horti
cultural and floral display; stock, ran
chinery, general Inrm products etc
etc., are reserved for her fall exhibi
tions.
Thomas county deserves he credit
of having inaugurated, and by perse
verance through great difficulties nud
opposing elements, finally demonstra
ting ti e practicability and great utility
of agricultural fairs in this part of the
state, and the whole country is now
reaping the henfi’s of her‘efforts, her
experience and her success
| We eaw a groat many familial
faces at the Albany fair, and imag
i ined that our county was pretty well
, represented on tho grounds, hut, on
consulting the two papers, both daily,
for the timo being, of that city, we
j ascertained that those in attendance
were ait from Calltouu, Baker, Thomas,
Mitchell and Worth counties. Hope
Terrell will not treat our clover unit h
bor so again. If our 1 nruble efforts
had been of any avail, it would not
hnvo been so this time.
Wo made a short visit to Bain
biidge during our recent jaunt to the
fairs, nnd met many old friends whom
we were glad to seo agaip. Dccntip
county line organized n fair association
and is going to have a big fair in the
fab. Thero is no prettier o rhetter woll

c.inteniplntod for their fair grounds.

Tho citizens of Decatur and ad

lately held in Bainbridge, taken steps
to organize a pertnanct fair associa

The Fraud About to be Investi
gated.
The Pott*>r roc mittee ofebvmi, re
e*‘ntl> appointed to investigate the (acts
and frauds connected with the counting
°t the vi fes ot Florida and Louisiana
is holding preliminary meetings,
preparatory to its ma'n work. When
organize 1, it will likely seriT rub-com
mittees to the states to belinves'igated.
The appointmen* ol this committee
has raised loud, piolonged arid sono
rous ululation all along the radical
fines. Revo’uticp !is their cry. They
proclafin in ‘‘mournful numbers” that
the object of it is to depose Mr. Haves
nnd pitch him headlong fingn his lofty
seat. Trie bloody shiit gives again
its tattered 1 tail to the "bold breeze
Heaven” and the hated name of
‘‘rebel” resounds through all tho
North.
On th- other hand, those whojlaim
to tie leaders of rhe democracy aie
persistent, vigorous and spasmodic in
their asseveration that their
intuition is n>t to un eat Mr. Hayes
the high climax and chief benefici
ary of the fraud, that their’only object is
to place official nud irrefra ihle proof
of the fraud on record as a scare-crow
for the evil-disposed tiPreafer. They
say that they are satisfied with Mr
Hayes, and willing for him to fill oil l
hi- term, 'hough proof* of the fraud
may accumulate uti'il the pile is as
“huge as high Olympus.”
As for our humhlo self, we do not
know what dangers may luik
around us, or what grave reasons
there may be for tiii humiliating at
titude of the democracy,especially the
deireernov of the South and, at the
tisk of seeming silly, we must decline
to kneel down until we seo graver
reasons for ro doing than are at pres
ent within tho rango of our circum
scribed vision.
The truth is, the democracy lias
been forced lather un willingly iu'o
the investigation of the fraud, fry he
confessions of thoso who were active
and prominent in its consummation;
and, it is our opinion, that, should it
he faitly and clearly proven and offic
eiallv preeletm.il, thev will he forced
to follow it up to it- legitimate results, I
the unseating ol Hayes, by impeach
ment, or otherwise, let the eonsequec- j
cos he what they may.
A man at the head of tins great
government with tho cord “fraud”
conspicuously, deeply, indelibly nnd
officially branded right across tho cen
tre of his forehead, for ali the world
to see, in otir opinion would be a mis
ernb.o tpectaculum return lntmanarum
that a proud people would not and
could not endnre.
Should the fraud be proven, especi
ally should *wn or three or ail the re
publicans on the commi'tee concur in
tho report that it is proven, we may
look out-for a crah. Tho famous B.
F. Butler is on the committee and we
believe he is ripe md ready for a
grand, dramatic and startling finale
to the faree that has been on 'he na
tional hoards e'nco the fad of ’76,
Wo have lost much of our former
admiration for Samuel J. Tildon, hut
he may be our president yah Tho
suggestion that Wheeler or (he presi
dent of the Senate would succeed
Hayes if deposed as a legitimate re
sult of this investigation, we presume,
is only intended for the ears of the
very ignorant.
A coirespondent of the Albany
fiews of the 2Bd furnishes that | aper
with the most remarkable story of at
tempted infinticide ever recorded, as
follows ; ,- On Monday evening last
the 13:h insi., a negro woman in the
employ cf George A. McDonald, in
I.oe county, gave birth to a child by
the road-side, while returning from
Albany, and after an attempt at in
) fanticido buried it, as she supposed
| dead, on the same night of its birth.
I On Wednesday following its birth her
| illness aroused the suspicion o‘ her
1 employer, and ho, together with the
assistance of Mr. Nathan Powell and
Mr. A. A. Kearney, set out to inves-;
tignte the rase. Upon questioning I
shoownedits birth, but said it was j
dead and buried. Tho investigating
party believing that sho had murdered J
it, determined to disinter it, and find-!
irig the grave commenced their work. 1
Not far, however, did they proceed j
before the feet do crieß of the infant I
convinced them that it lived, though j
it had been buried two days and
nights eighteen inches Lolow the sur
face of tho ground.”
j “Such brutality,” say s tho News, “is
j unexcelled in tho history of crime,
and the guilty party should be dealt
with in strict conformity to tho law.”
Wo might he inclined to believe this
story but for tho statement that the
child still lived after being buried un
der the ground two days and nights.

KEROSENE.
Sad Death of Little Eva Gilmer.
We liave never • oen called upon to
chrmtiele n sadder oct urrence than the
one we are now about to relate. Lit
tle Eva Gilmer, youngest ciuld of \lr.
and M rs. Joseph Giimor is no u.ore
Tlie cirruurstani-es attending her
dentil me peculiarly unfortunate and
sad. Just before retiring on 'I l>u.a
day night Miss Mattie Badger, n
young lady wlur is staying with the
family, went into the dining room ti
get some Kerosene, which had been
tequested Ly Mrs Gilmer, wht was
sick. Little Eva had been undressed
and prepared to retire, but followed
Miss Badger. The latter took the
Kerosene can, and holding it nttar
the lamp which sni i.n the cupboard,
commenced pouring the fluid into a
saucer. All of a sudden she became
aware that the kerosene had ignited.
The gas escaping from the can which
had just been opened is supposed to
tiave reached tho top of the lamp
chimney, which conveyed the blaze to
the saucer and to tlie can. Miss
Badger, thinking ihat tho trouble was
with the lamp, threw it out doors, and
about this time the can, which she
lid dropped, discharged its contents
and a sheet of fire. Little Eva was
standing near by, and wils drenched
with the burning fluid. She ran out
into the yard, and, with remarkable
presence of mind, jumped into a tuh
of water and extinguisned the flames,
not, however, until sheliad been fear
fully burned. She bore her sufferings
like a little hero untit about 3 o’clock
a. m , when death came and relieved
her. Little Eva was about five and
a-half years old, and was one of the
brightest, sweetest, little girls we evor
knew. To the bereaved family wo
i xtendonr deepest sympathy. —Albany
