The True Citizen. WAYNESBORO, GA~ FRIDAY. OOT. 6, 1882 Entered at the post office at Waynesboro, Ga., an second class matter. JBX7JRKK COUNTY’S SOTV- RON. fit. S WALLACE, OF TRINIDAD COL ORADO. It is a matter of pride to the fiiends of the above named distinguished gen tium n, anti to our county, where he was Horn and raised, and whose ‘ kith and k,n” are still with us, to know that he has achieved such distinction in his new home, the State of Colorado. Cap*. Sun. Wallace will be remem bered a* a gallant captain of the 22d Ga. "Regiment, serving his country faithfully and honorably, he at the dose of the war laid aside his swrd and entered the Baptist minis'ry. He removed to South Carolina, and served several chu ehes efficiently. While tbe-e, h • married a very accomplished lady. Soon thereafter he read law, and removed to Denver, Colorado, and entered active'y into Ins chosen pu suit. Succes- at'ended his every effort, and to-day he is the ! eading lawyer in that St,a*e. As an Klee tor for the State at* la g’, he did \a’iant service f >r Han cock !n the last Presidential election.-— in the as' Democratic conven ion lor < olo'iidf he was a prominent candidate for governor, and came within a few votes of getting the nomin tion. We append two clippings from the Pueblo News which explain therns Ives : «>s k candidate—iion. s. s. Wallace. The dist'nguised gentleman whose name graces this art'de needs no enco mium from us, or from the gallant, pure-hearted Jarvis either, to com n end him to the Democracy of this Ma e, where he has lived for many years. During six years of active, stirring work on this fron ier—whete men are not, overcareful of their words —no single whisper against the char acter of Judge Wallace has ever been heard, aid the pur’ty of his life, his ex alted patriotism, his devo-ion to the Democratic, par’y, his active sympathy with every good influence, his prompt, wus tidied attack and bitter warfare against »!l evil purposes and persons, bis gre-tt ability, his ready aud soul- stin ing eloquence, his profound legal learning, his sialesmanthin, all point to him as a man Cited by na ure in eyery way lo not only to head the victorious < u,swoop of she confident Democracy, but to so conduct the affairs of the ci/mmonwealtb, as governor, after election, that rnen will speak well of tie party, and determine that to its c te nmy sa ely be committed the des tinies of the .State—the gem of the mountains, the youngest and most fa vored member of the great family. Judge Wallace, besides be’ug well qualified for the position in other re spects, is very favorably situated, geo graphically It is very general y con ceded on all sides that the South is en titled to special recognition, not only "n the Democratic ticket, but in the $.ai.e government, and the selection pf any good Democrat south of the Di vide wou d strengthen the ticket amaz ing y , but the nomination of Wallace would be particularly gratifying to all, arid would be received by the South with en husiusrn, a^ d no section of the State but would hail it with delight, and as the harbinger of sure victory. However, we produce here with pe culiar satisfaction the high testimonial so kindly sent us by the distinguished governor of North Carolina, where Judge Wallace lived many years, and where h s young manhood unfolded un- <1 r the eye of the gentleman .who is now Inr chief magistrate. His endorse ment is no unmeaning platitude. It is tire candid testimonial of one who knows the subject of Ins letter, and one v»ho would never have given it but for rhe fact tlmt lie has implicit confidence, miy absolute knowledge of its entire : Mitl.f'j n s«. R.\M nut, August 31, 18<S2, To the l-MitoT of the News,— Dear J- u 1 have heard with pleasure of the tve-i-meiited position S S. Wallace, lCsq., has taken in your State. Mr. Wal lace, prior to bis removal to Colo rado, lived in the same town with my self. I knew him as a citizen, as a lawyer and as a gentleman, and in all these relations his life was marked with that high sense of honor and devotion to duty which, sooner or later, is sure to win success. We regretted to see him leave North Carolina, but we re joice in the success he has won and the position he has attained in your State. He left this State in the belief that the higher and drier atmosphere of Colorado would be beneficial to his health, and in this I am glad to know he has not been mistaken. With continued im proved health, I predict for him higher position aud greater usefulness to his adopted State; and no one will more heartily rejoice at his continued success than myself. Although a stranger to you, I have taken the liberty to say this much for a friend in every way worthy of the confidence and esteem of the people, but who may be benefited by a kind word from his old associates, who knew him years ago. Begging pardon for this intrusion, I am, very respectfully, your ob'dient servant, Thomas J. Jarvis. Go~ernor of North Carolina. It A llD TIMES IN THE FA R WES T. ' “All these reports about easily made fortunes in the West, are j henominnl romances,” said a gentleman of New Oileans, ju.-t retu.ned from a Westi r.-. tour to a States man Tuesday. “I have been out there, and know how it is myself. I had heard glowing ac counts of the West, and I was impa tient to go out there and make a for tune. I took a pretty good money ‘stake’ along with me, aud landed in southern New Mexico, at a place called Las Criuas, and one of the most d’so-- late locking places I ever saw in my life. I arrived there in the night time, and didn’t find out what sort of a place it was till next morning. It looked like a graveyard, and the only class of persons who gave it any appear ance of a town were some dozen or so of miners who were trying to induce a merchant to ‘grub stake’ them. “I heard that a great many Mexicans died their each summ r, and I did not wonder at all. I walked out of the town, and on the road met with a rol licking set of men who were just re turning from a murder trial, a ceremony which I subsequently difeovered w;.s very frequently solemnized in that re gion. The men took mo a'ong with them, supposing I was a basted tramp, and piloted me to a section house a few miles away, trom which place I made my escape on a locomotive. I went to Socorro, Alberqurque aud Las Vegas At the two latter places I found numbers of young men looking for work, and others laboring at the hardest kind of jobs. I found in one lumber yard at Las Vegas three dentists, two physicians and one lawyer, all educated gentlemen, who had been compelled to resort to hard labor to ward off -taxa tion. In all tlio hotels, res'aurants and eating houses I entered, I found the waiters to be young gentlemen, who had evidently been accustomed to lives of ease and plenty, but who yielding to the common lot of fortune hunters, were‘holding down’ jobs that were en tirely unsuited to them. “The well-to-do people are tho board ing house keepers, who literally feast off the strangers who go to the West ern country in search of fortunes. Of course, after the stranger’s money is gone, he is compel'ed to put his hand to the first job he can find. The entire co intry is flooded wiih men, and it is no wonder that they become, in the course of time, the moat cgnfrmed set of tramps the world has ever known — Unless a man is naturally very indus trious, mid he despairs of ever securiiu work, joins his lot to the reckless set of meu he meets up with, and begs, beats, or bums, his way through the country as best lie may. “The mountains are absolutely cov ered with prospectors, and it is the strangest thing imaginable that so few mines are discovered. In all the towns along the railroads the real estate owners get up a boom at certain sea sons of the year, through the means of lavish advertising, put marvelously high prices on their property, and the suckers or s rangers buy. If they are all fortunate they remain and try to make the best of their bar gains, hut the majority get disgusted and leave, congratulating themselves if they are able to secure one quarter of the price that they originally expend ed for their property."’ W.
