The Survival of the Fittest.
waynkmijouo.ua., dec. 12. ISX-l.
_ Last week a preacher’a wife
eloped with a deacon in Long
Island, and took the train for Flor
ida. On Sunday another preacher’s
wife ran away with a negro, and
likewise sought the Land of Flow
ers. Our smpathies are tendered
Florida.
ur The legislature has shown
Its appreciation of the great nation
al game, base ball, by defeating a
bill to tax the game by a largo ma
jority. When the boys play for
amusement, we don’t think they
should be taxed; when money is
the object, they are on a footing of
other shows.
vr Mrs. Rebecca M. Levy, a
sister of Juda P. Benjamin, died in
New Orleans a few days ago. She
was the first person ejected by Gen
eral Butler from New Orleans.—
She refused to take the oath of alle
giance, and was turned out of her
fine house on St. Charles avenue to
become a visitor among friends
within the Confederate lines.
_ The fast mail has proved
to be rather more of a nuisance
than an advantage, as it often goes
by in such a hurry that it fails td
leave all the mail. The Atlanta
Constitution of Monday and Tues
day did not arrive by this fast mail
until Wednesday, when all three
were received. These failures are
frequent, and it is desirable that
the mail slow up, or that the gov
ernment put on faster route agents.
Any arrangement that will give us
our mail will be satisfactory.
, t*r T o the question: “What
do you think of the election and its
results?” asked of Henry Ward
Beecher by a New York newspaper
reporter, he replied:
“The country has been like mud
dy water stirred up. Let it' alone
and it will settle. The next admin
istration must be one of progress,
or in 1888 a now party will come
into power. I am not a Democrat,
and people won’t let me call myself
a Republican, so I suppose I am
neither. I am an evolutionist, and
I believe in the unfolding of great
principles. I care not for the
names of parties. I look hack only
when doing so helps to steer for
ward.”
“How do you think Cleveland
will act as president?” asked the
reporter. 9
“I don’t know,” said Mr. Beech
er. “His past record has been ex
cellent. But a man may be a good
colonel and not a good general. It
is a matter of speculation. I hope
Mr. Cleveland will give nothing to
the Independents. We were in for
right, and as soon as the disinter
estedness is taken away, down goes
our independence. The principal
thing I hope to see is a revival of
business in the South.”
The above short paragraphs from
Mr. Beecher aro couched in words
of deep significance. He says that
the incoming administration must
be progressive, or a netiv party will
come into power. He does not
even intimate that the Republicans
will be restored, but evidently be
lieves that that party is now virtu
ally dead, and expects it to disband
before 1888. His allusion to the
South shows that his visit and as
sociation with her people last year
has modified Mr. Beecher’s opinion
of our people. The eyes of the na
tion is upon Governor Cleveland,
and his administration will be
watched with jealous eyes. Should
his administration prove a success,
then may the country expect an
era of prosperity unparalleled in its
history since the war.
THE ELKCTOIUL VOTE OF UKOBUIA.
A dispatch from vVashington, D.
C., dated the 10th inst, says: “Mur
phy Candler arrived here this morn
ing with the electoral vote of Geor
gia. This afternoon he was intro
duced to Vice-President Edmunds
by Colonel Hammond, and deliv
ered the vote to him. Mr. Ed
munds remarked that returns were
now in by mail from all the states
except four, but that a considerable
number of messengers had yet to
come. South Carolina’s vote has
not been received even by mail.”
Mr. Murphy Candler, Georgia’s
messenger to deliver the electoral
vote to,the president of the United
States senate, is a scion of one of
the most prominent families of the
state. He is a rising young lawyer
of marked ability, of Decatur, Gn.,
and bids fair to write his name in
honorable pages in the future his
tory of the state.
Meutlnif of I In- Ilonaril Agricultural t'luli.
The iiuunl monthly mooting wan heldThurs-
iluy December 5th at the resfdonoo of Mr It.
it. Burton. There wusu lull nttoruhince i>f
members. Mr. U II. Ilurton was elected
chairman, and called the meeting to order.
Minutes and business before the club wore
read by secretary G. W. Jones. The name of
Mr. I’. V. Daniels was then proposed for mem
bership by Mr Hhowmake, and unanimously
adopted The subject under discussion was;
the best mode of preparing land for, and cul
tivating Indian corn. The discussion was
opened by Mr. F A Jones, who advocated In
Ids remarks thorough preparation of land by
following turn plow, with subsolleror scooter,
he savored umonlntod manures and when had
In sufficient quantity thought broadcasting
best way to apply, plowed Ills corn often and
shallow, had made by Intensive system fifty
seven bushel* of eora per acre. He here gave
Mr. Hturdcvant's formula for making fifty
bushels of corn, which is 31 lbs. potash 00 lbs
nmoniu and 70 lbs. phosphoric add. Dr. W.
11. Jones followed Mr. Frank Jones and
agreed w’th him In his manner of planting
and cultivating except that he prefered
cheeking to drilling when practicable, he
thought the prettiest and best way to put In a
corn crop, was to rotate cotton land to corn,
bed hack the old cotton rows, burst out stalks,
drag down beds, cheek land live and a half
feet, apply ferterlizers In check, thought Just
as well to apply manure after first plowing of
corn, so as to get It around and not in the hill,
would always broadcast If there was suf
ficient quantity, lie Is opposed to highly nttro-
ginlsed or unionlated manures, prefers those
containing potash, said the scientific world
had com* to the conclusion that corn Is a
potash plant. He was boro interrupted by
Judge .1. 11. Jones, who said planters had paid
out millions for ammoniatcu manures with
out recovering proper, beneficial returns, as
the air furnished ammonia In suftleleut quan
tity. Some one asked why cotton seed con
taining a large amount of ammonia made
such a good application for corn? Dr. Jones
said corn could be injured by applying cotton
seed heavily. He then gave an instance of ru
ining a corn crop, by applying highly amino-
nlated manures, the corn was put In and on
good land, but suckerod badly and failed to
make a crop of corn. Ho then continued his
remarks by adding that after cheeking land
live and a half feet, anil applying fertilizer,
plant corn the wide way. After thinning,
hoeing and plowing corn the first time, run
around It every ten or twelve days, and plow
shallow. Dr. Jones thought the corn crop
very dllHcult to manage, for if there was onei^
n mistake made, there was no time to rectify.
Gave this as the reason the nogro seldom
made corn, and when he did, It was accidental.
Halil he never liked to use the turn plow after
corn was up, but found It sometimes necessary
and believed crops In general had to he man
aged according to circumstances. Other mem
bers were called upon and substantiated the
following for planting and cultivating corn;
deep and thorough preparation, heavy ma
nuring, shallow planting, frequent and shal
low plowing. There was some discussion
about different varieties of corn, mount’s
prolific was highly praised by all, some
l bought It too soft, and liable to be destroyed
by weavlls. The club adjourned at this time,
for recess, and went out to examine a corn
planter brought up by Dr. Jones. After this
we were invited by our kind host to dinner.
Doubtless, every one expected to find a good
table, for the fame of our hostess, Miss Sallie
ilurton, as a good housekeeper is current
among those who know her, hut I am sure
there was not one whoso expectations of a
dinner were not surpassed.
After we had finished dining, the club was
again assembled and a committee of three,
Judge Join, 1 ?, Mr. Cross, and Mr. Shewmake,
were appointed to select a subject for discus
sion at our next meeting. The subject pro
posed and adopted was “The best mode to
prepare land for manure, plant, cultivate,
gather and market cotton.”
Among other things discussed by members,
while uof In session, was the failure of chufus
to perfect this season. Mr. Ilurton said the
best crop he ever miftlc was with an applica
tion of Kutult, Acid Phosohatc and Land
Plaster. Miimukk ok Club.

THE MITCHELL COUNTY Xl'KUEU.
Last week we published the ac
count of the terrible murder of Mr.
Godwin, ids housekeeper and a
young man about 20 years of age, in
one house ami In the same hour.—
The murder was a great mystery
then, but it is a mystery no longer,
as the following extract from the
Atlanta Constitution shows;
Columbus, Ua., December 8.—
Mobo Keeton, colored, the murder
er of Mr. Stephen Godwin, Mrs.
Malitida Gregory, his housekeeper,
and iter son Rickard, a farm hand,
near Pelham, Mitchell county, on
Tuesday night, December 2d, was
run down and apprehended here at
10 o’clock to-day, by Sheriff L. F.
Burkett, of Decatur county, after a
chase or over 100 miles. The negro
showed fight, but the muzzle of a
pistol which the sheriff thrust in
Ids face subdued him, and he sur
rendered. His wife and child were
with him, tliu former camping near
by. thus giving him away. A gun
belonging to the murdered man
was found in his possession. Ho
was also identified by Mr. \V. W.
Kennan, of Blufftown, on the rivor,
to whom the negro hud sold the
inure and buggy which ho had
stolen from Mr.Godwin after com
mitting tlie terrible murder, and
who was assisting the sheriff in the
search. The object was money.—
Four hundred dollars were in a bu
reau at the time, but which owing
to their hurry and excltomont they
failed to get. The sheriff left with
Ills prisoners to-day for Buiiihrldge.
Other parties "ire implicated in t he
murder also. The sheriff only
struck the trail on (Saturday, after

of was offered.
