The Journal. E. L. RaiNgy, - Editor. TrURSDAY, DECEMBER 4TH, 1884 e - The negroes of the South de nounce Blaine though Ex-Senator Bruce became of his last publie utterances, and the curses he pronounced upon the solid South fall back up on his own head. Poor weak, fan atical Blaine. Farewell, a long farewell, your glory and strength l:ave departed. - The Albany News and Advertis. er takes special delight in poking the Telegraph and Messenger un dor the fifth rib. It might be well to call a halt. There is such a thing as extremes meeting. Per sonal chagrin magnifled reacts. If the News knowsanything why not tell it and be done with it, otherwise let us have a rest,if you please. A white man pleaded guilty to the charge of baving two wives. ’ Both of the wronged women were f in court, and one of them carried | # babe in her arms. Judge Mer-i shon sentenced him tofour years at | hard labor in the penitentiary. The | fellow in pleading guilty asked the judge for mercy, but the judge replied that he would give him the full extent of the law, and that the law was too merciful. The Atlanta Constitation, is making quite a hero, or martyr or some thikg else out of the Hon. Samuel J. Rardall. It ocecurs to us to be quite unnecessary. While it- is true Mr. Randall has done much for his cou: - try in the past and deserves credit | therefor, still he has not done bimself, or the country, eredit by 1 his position on the tariff question. It will take more than double lead ed glory for himto get there. We stand squarely by the record and believe thatthe masses of our peo- 1 ple will say to the Hon. John . | Carlisle “come up higher,” at least occupy the Speakers chair another | term. | ———————— e \ The time was when a man's weal'h was estimated by the num her of negroes he owned. Since that time has passed we of the South speak of a manby the num ber of bales of cotton he sells, and every meighbor rivals his nabob in the latter as surely as ever he did in the former. He forgets however that the man who sells five handred bales of cotton, and owes five hundred and one of it, i 8 not so well off really as {he man who makes only five bales and lives athome. Still the form er is considered a big planter, while the latter is reckoned « com mon liver. And yet we believe we would rather be the latter than the former, though there may appear to be more selfishness in our religion. “He that provideth not for his own household hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.” An Earnest Appeal. The Hon. Jno. T: Hendersen, our State Commissioner of Agri culture, has issued a strong ap peal to Crop Reporters and farm ers throughout Georgia for a dis play at the World's Exposition. He entreats them to go to work at once and ship collections to him at Atlanta, from which place he will at once forward them es acol- Yective exhibit to New Orleans in time for the opening. This is Terrell county and Georgia's last chance to show their wonder ful farm products and resources. The appeal is an earnest one. It can be found on cur first page. Theß.C. & C.R.R. The Baiubridge Democrat of the Ist inst says: A The building of this Road, so long dreamed of by the people of this section, will begin at Cuthibert on Monday next with a force, we learn of sixty hands. The work will be under the supervision of Mr. L. O. Jackson, of this city, {who has been appointed Super intendent of Construction for the Road) and will be pushed rap diy as possiblein the direction of Bain bridge. The work of putting the hel in order for the ties will be soon accomplished from Cuthbert here some sixty miles of the same having once been graded. . Wealso learn that a force will soon begin work at Columbus— eoming towards Cuthbert a® that probaly a force will be put to wark at Bainbridge, going in the direction of Cuthbert by the Ist of January, Mr.J ac{son will leave for Cuth bert to.morrow to assume charge of the work ' Georgia's Capitol. i Pretty considerable interest ‘s | being manifested now in the con | struetion of our new Capitol buil {ding. The Commission appointed ‘be the last Legislatare awarded jthc contract for building the new tCapitnl to an Indiana company, ' that proposes to use what is term ed oolitic limestcre. ’ It has been a source of pride 'as well as a desire on the part of Il many of the citizens of our state | to see the new Capitol constructed ‘uut of Georgia material, but in gthis they evidently are destined to disappointment unless the pre 'sent Legislature interferes with the award of the commission. ‘(‘rmrgin marble, it seems, will ‘cost more than the material with ‘which the Indiana company pro pose to build. If oneis marble and the other is limestone of course the marble should cost more, and would be our preference at an advance cost. The compari son is unjust if it is narrowed to the difference between marble and oolitic limestone. Can marble from the Georgia quarry be had! as chgap as marble from some other qurry? If so, quality and other things being equal the Georgia quarry should have the contract. We are in favor of pat ronizing and utilizing home pro duets in the cousturction of the Capitol building, when such pa tronage does not commit us to the mercy of a corporation. These questions no doubt have been already considered by the Commis sion, but the present attitude of our legislature seems to indicate crookedness somewhere, and by the new bill introduced it is pro proposed to straighten it. We await developments with interest. A Former Citizen of Dawson, The Brenham, Texas, Business Letter speaks in the following complimentary terms of Col. R. L. Fulton the present mayor of Gralveston, Texas. Col. Fulton was a former citizen of Dawson, and is a brother of our Capt J. A. Fulton. The Colonel’s many frienls will vead it with pleasure: S“The municipal regulations of a town or city rarely ever concern any person not a citizen of said town or eity, or who has no local interests there; but the manage ment of the municipal polity of the city of Galveston is evidently an exception. That city is the acknowledged chief seaport of Texas, and, of course, the most important city in the state. Tex as produces fully one-fourth of all the cotton raised in “the South, and quite the half of all the ecotton raised in this state during the past two years has gone through Galveston. This has not been the case during all previous years. Ask any farm ter, merchant, or cotton buyer, or broker, or agent dealing in eotton \ in Brenham or other points 1n the | cotton belt, why he prefers to {ship his cotton to or through ‘ Galveston and nine tenths will give the same reasons—the excellence lof Galveston’s munieipal regula tions, the generous conduct of the | cotton exchange and especially the rigid adherence to strice officials honesty in the present mayor of ‘ that city. So long as Galveston continues to sustain the intezrity of its cheif executive oflice, turn ing the light upen the devious | ways designing rings, and exposing l the seeret plots of ofticial monopo ‘llsts and their corrupt schemes, ithere will be an influx of the v st | products of this great state pour ing in upon her. With great in terests our people here, and donbt less throughout the state, have watched the progress of the course of the pre sent mayor, C'ol. R. L. Fulton, in ‘the bold, high stand he has taken against six or eight of the alder wen of that ecity. And now that the grand jury of Galveston county l has virtually indorsed the course {of that mayor, by finding true | bills againgt three of said alder | men, with a likelihood of impeach ing others, will domore to confirm l the high estimate already placed upon Galveston’s present mayor f for uncorruptible honesty and | firm executive capacity than a vol ’ ume as big as Webster's unabridg ed dictionary ever could.” Bad Economy. Every preparation should be made by the farmer this month for the makirg and saving of the largest amount of manure possi ble during the present winter. First provide adry shed or a tight cellar for the manure. If left ex posed to the weather its most val uable constituents are washed out and lost. It is the worst Geouomy to permit this. Life Insurance. A man naver knows what is to become of his family after he is dead and gone. He does not know but that his orphans may become homeless and dep ‘ndent and his widow lone and desolate. He would provide against this. He seeks to lay up a sufliciency to take care of them, but by misfort une or mismanagement he is dis appointed aud dies suddenly leav ing them unprovided for. “He that provideth not for his own house hold hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.” ~ We merely make this prefatory remark to call your attention to the fact that Life Insurance in a first class company pays. It pays now, in life, in the peace and tran- .‘ quility of mind it affords to the insured. It robs the future of the | uncertainty that must cling arcund | it otherwise. You ecan lie down to sleep, oron a b 1 of sizciss feeling assured that when you ate gone, the widow and | orphans will get all | that your prudence may have laid by for them. You may be well to do now and yet die penni- | less. You are in good health and have the promiseof long life, then { do not neglect to have your life! insured at once. because it is cheap- | er to you now, and because you are | in good health. A few months or ayear, may meke a big differ- | ence. You may not be able to | pass an examination, the company might reject you, and reason urges you to take this step at once. | We have been considering some j features of Life Insurance as set- | forth by the New York Life In-| surance company. 1t is one of the l oldest and strongest companies do- | ing business. 1t has a strong, | vigorous policy towards policy- | holders, protecting them in theirl rights and privileges. It has the | record of paying its obligations so ! that the widow &nd orphans do | not have to enter into a long con- | test for their rights. It offers " ample security, and is therefore a safe investment. With near- ‘ ly sixty million dollars in assests and about twelve million dollars surplus we see no reason why the most cautious may not feel per fectly secured in the investment. Besides this, this old company complies with the laws of the states respecting life insurance and so makes security doubly sure. We had sooner trust a first class life insurance company for safety and guaranty than any other monetary investment that we know of. Such is our faith in the workings and principles of these old companies. One other feature of the New York Life commends it at once to the pecple of the | South. We believe it was the on ly company that did not violate its pledges and take advantage of : the condition of things on account iof the war of the Rebellion. If it | was faithful in this it may be I trusted for the fature. Mr. Win. V. Harper, Superin tendent of agencies,and Mr. T. H. Boynton, special agent, both of Macon are inour city this week representing this staunch old com pany. We reccommend them and the New York Life to the fovora ble consideration of our readers and suggest that it would be, in our opinion, the wisest thing any one could do, if you can, to take a li%eral policy with them. Insure your life. | Ee Liberal. 1 In dealing with hired help it is ‘good policy to be liberal rather than narrow or close. A farmer who is accustomed to be always making Lard bargains econ gains this reputation and often loses sale for articles because others do not like to deal with him, or else puats them so on their guard that he is not able to make as good bargains as others could.
