.ludec T. .1. Simmons—Dear Sir:
judging from the capacity,ami faith-
ftilness with which you have dis
charged the most important public
trust in the past, your elevation to
the highest olllco in the gift of the
commonwealth would redown
(■«|ii:iI ly to the credit of the state and
the honor of your friends. Hut from
the universally admitted honesty
of purpose, fairness, impartiality
iiiul ability with which, for the past
seven years, you have -discharged
the onerous and responsible duties
of judge, the people and bar of the
Macon circuit will regard as a pub
lic calamity any course that con
strains your retirement from the
bench. Besides, to lay off the judi
cial ermine to seek political prefer
ment at this time will embarrass a
host of your personal friends, especi
ally of the Macon bar, to whom you
have endeared yourself, not less by
your kindly courtesy than by the
unsurpassed fairness and ability
which lias characterized the dis
charge of your duties. For these
reasons, we, the undersigned mem
bers of the Macon bar, earnestly re
quest you to sacrifice, for the time,
your worthy and laudable ambition
to seek the oll'ice of governor, and to
retain your present important posi
tion.
This was signed by fifty-nine
names, comprising the Macon bar,
to which Judge Simmons replied:
Messrs. Lamer, Nisbett, Bartlett
and others—Gentlemen: Your let
ter of the 7th instant, requesting me
not to seek the nomination for gov
ernor at the approaching conven
tion, has just been handed me. For
reasons entirely personal to myself,
and in which tin* public are not in
terested, I had already determined
upon that course. I beg to assure
you, and the members of the bar
through you, that I am deeply grate
ful for the complimentary manner
in which you refer to my services as
judge of .this circuit, and with assu
rance of the kindly relations that
have existed between us, 1 hope I
may continue to merit your confi
dence and esteem. To my many
friends indifferent parts of the state j
wlm have pledged me their support, i
in the event of my candidacy, I re
turn my sincere thanks.
Very respectfully,
T. J. Simmons.

his strongest reasons for retiring.
IIKXKllA L GORDON ANNOUNCES.
(Jen. John B. Gordon makes the
following announcement-to the peo
ple of Georgia:
At Home, DeKalm County,Ga.,
May 8,1880.—To tlie people of Geor
gia: After much reflection T have
decided to become a candidate for
nomination by the 1 lomooratic party
of Georgia for the office of governor.
This decision lias not been reached
without sober thought and full con
sideration. For many months past
personal and political friends have
urged me to become a candidate.
From every section of the state,
and from all classes and former
divisions in the party, these requests
have come. I have hesitated and
waited, because 1 desired to know
whether the wish was general with
tin* people. Of this 1 cannot longer
entertain a doubt. The evidences
which have reached me narticuhir-
ly in tho last few weeks of the de
sire of the people, have profoundly
stirred my heart and satisfied me of
my duty. From distant portions of
die state and from my immediate
neighbors (some of whom have
known me in most intimate associa
tions from my boyhood up) these
solicitations have corfie. This move
ment by the people so far as I am
aide to judge, is absolutely sponta
neous. 1 have not written one let
ter upon tliu subject, except in an
swer to those which have reached
me, and 1 have solicited the aid of
no man nor conversed with any who
have not introduced the subject.
Now that 1 tun a candidate, 1 trust
that none of my fellow citizens of
Georgia will misunderstand me.
From the ungenerous unwarranted
and utterly untruthful criticisms
which have heretofore been !ndulg-| ,", r dictation b.V
ed in by certain parties in reference or candidates.
reared, is not a sufficient answer to
my enemies, who are enemies with- j
out cause or excuse, no reply from
me would satisfy them. If, at any
time of my life, if in private or pub
lic station, in peace or in war, i
have ever deserved the confidence
and esteem of this people, 1 deserve
the same now as surely and as com
pletely. 1 wish, however, to make
known in this public manner, that
I shall visit and speak to as many
counties as possible, and am ready
on all occasions to confront these
enemies before the people.
Should the people prefer either of
the other able and honorable gentle
men who are candidates for the of
fice, 1 shall support their choice most
cheerfully. If, however, the people
should honor me as their choice, I
shall endeavor to serve them witli
an eye single to the best interests
of Georgia.

GEN HR AI. GORDON’S l*UOJ*OSITION TO
MAJOR RAC,'ON.
DeKalb County* Ga., May 8,
188(i.—lion. A. O. Bacon, Macon, Ga.
—Dear Sir: Neither of us ought to
desire—and I certainly do not—to
become the candidate of the Demo
cratic party of Georgia for governor,
except by the will of tin? Democrat
ic people of Georgia. 1 know of but
one way of ascertaining infallibly
that will; and that is by the Demo
cratic method of placing votes in
the ballot box. The plan of calling
together meetings at the court
house, appointing a chairman, who,
in turn, appoints a committee to se
lect delegates, may or may not rep
resent -the will of the people. Doubt
less, in many eases, delegates thus
selected represent precisely the re
verse of the popular will. I ask,
therefore, that you unite with me
in a letter to the executive commit
tee, soon to meet, requesting that
committee to recommend primary
elections iire^yery county in this
state, in order that the will of the
people may be surely ascertained.
Very respectfully yours,
Jno. B. Gordon.
MAJOR BACON’S REPLY TO GENERAL
Gordon’s open letter.
Macon, Ga., May 10,1886.
Gen. John B. Gordon, DeKalb
Co.—Dear Sir: I find published in
the Telegraph, the Chronicle and
the Constitution and other daily
papers of the state, of Sunday, a let
ter which purports to have been ad
dressed by you to myself. I have
received no such letter, but pre
sume its publication was authorized
by you. Desiring to conform to
| what appears to be your chosen me
dium of communication, I reply to
; the same through the public press.
You and l werebotli in Savannah
| during tho past week, and daily
met each other personally. In now
noting your desire that we agree
upon a plan by whicli in the pend
ing contest, “the will of the Demo
cratic people of Georgia” can be
best ascertained, I might with pro
priety express some surprise that
you failed to avail yourself of the
opportunity thus presented to then
confer with me relative to the prop
osition which you now make. It
would not have been premature for
you to have done so, as, if you were
correctly reported, you jvere then
actively canvassing for support
among those whom you there met.
In response to your proposition I
make the following reply: As 1
understand it, the custom of the
party in this state has been for the
assembling of the convention and
the basis of representation. The
counties have always been left to
decide for themselves the manner
in which they should choose their
delegates. Some of them have
adopted the plan of primary elec
tions, and others have made their
selections of delegates through the
means of mass meetings. I believe
the people of the several counties
are fully capable of determining for
themselves which plan is best
machinery. As those who are
known to be your political friends
have in the past very largely profit
ed by the use of the modes of pro
cedure whicli have heretofore been
pursued, it is to lie presumed that
you will not condemn the same as
having in tiiose instances failed to
ascertain honestly and fully the
will of the Democratic people of
Georgia. 1 have never feared a lull
expression of the popular will, i
have no fear of it now. I shall lie
satisfied that such popular will shall
find its expression in tlie manner
in which the people of each county
shall determine for themselves.
You will pardon me for saying
that the time has come when party
policy in this state should be shaped
without reference to the wishes of
candidates. Conventions and elec
tions are held presumably in the
interest of the people, rattier than
in the interest of candidates; and
the wishes of the former should
never be made subservient to the
interests of the latter. The execu
tive committee might resent as im
pertinent any attempt on our part
to dictate its line of action, and the
people would certainly repudiate
any effort of the committee to con
trol or restrict their mode of pro
cedure in the appointment of dele
gates.
So far as I am personally con
cerned, I will be content to abide
the result of either primary elec
tions, or the action of mass meet
ings pi the several counties accord
ing to the best judgment and pre
ference of the people. Very res
pectfully yours, A. O. Bacon.
BACON CHALLENGES GORDON TO A
JOINT DISCUSSION.
Major Bacon lias forwarded the
following letter to General Gordon
which explains itself:
Macon, Ga., May 10, 1886.—To
Gen. John B. Gordon, Atlanta—
Dear Sir: i respectfully ask that
you will agree with me upon a joint
discussion before tlie Democratic
party of the state, of the issues in
volved in the pending contest for
the gubernatorial nomination.
In order to arrange for the same,
I request you to select a friend to
meet tho Hon. Patrick Walsh of
Augusta with the view of having
them to confer, and agree upon the
date and places for tho proposed
joint discussion.
You will recognize the fairness of
this proposition, as it will give us
jointly the opportunity of meeting
the people face to face, and giving
them the fullest information on all
the issues involved in the campaign.
Very respectfully yours,
A. (). Bacon.
A Mail Who MuKi'h Farming Pay.
Nicholasville, Ky., May 8.—
Henry Weitzel formerly of New
port, Ky., a farmer living near Wil-
more, was arrested and brought
here by A. M. Smith, our marshal,
on a warrant charging him with
shooting and wounding Dan Rear
don, an employe of the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad. Weitzel lias
only been married about two
months, and the brakeinan was on
the mash every time Ins train went
by. Weitzel threatened him not to
flirt with his wife by pointing a gun
at him on several occasions. The
other day he fired, filling Reardon
with shot from a shotgun. When
Reardon was last heard from, at
i Burgin Station, his train compan
ions were still picking the shot out
of him. Weitzel was released on
bond to appear for trial.

Merriwether county now comes to j
the front with the most practical
and successful farmer in this part
of Georgia, in the person of W. N.
Sims, who lives just across the line
of Troup and about four miles from
Hogansville. A visit to Mr. Sims’
farm will convince any one that
farming is a pleasant and profitable
business although we have recently
heard from one of Georgia’s largest
farmers that farming don’t pay, but
has of late years become unprofit
able.
Mr. Sims is some forty years old;
lias been running his farm seven
teen years—commeticing with one
horse, and in tho woods. He clear
ed his land, and worked it almost
alone for several years, when, by
Ids thrift and judgment, he accumu
lated sufficiently to add another
horse to his operations, and another
hundred to his first hundred acres
of land. In like manner lie has
reached successfully to where lie
operates a four horse farm, and
with a surplus capital of some $2,000
on hand, besides abundance of every
article needed on a farm.
I was shown a few evenings ago
around his premises, where I was
surprised to find what I thought no
farmer possessed in such abundance
in western middle Georgia—a lot of
large, line, fat mules, cribs full of
corn, fodder oats, etc., some of which
two years old; in particular, one
large house full of oats made in
1874. Cattle, not of the full blood,
but grades, and as fat and sleek as
good treatment could make them.
Chickens by the hundred. Turkeys,
pea-fowls, guineas, and every fowl
known to our section. I saw ids
week’s gathering of eggs—40 dozen
in a pile! • Barley and rye patches
with their green foliage bedecked
the surroundings; while the bloom
ing orchards and handsome flower
yard filled the air with fragrance.
While Mr. Sims is fully equal to his
task as a practical and successful
farmer. Mrs. Sims proves equally
competent in the management of
her domestic affairs, who, until a
few years ago, shared with her hus
band every hardship, from the cook
ing stove to the assistance of every
field duty. But now plenty sur
rounds her, and her enjoyment con
sists not only in the possession of a
fortune, but the consolation of being
its architect. This plantation now
consists' of 326 acres, every foot
cleared by its owner, and the man
ner in which the soil is cared for is
marvelous; not a wash or gulley on
the entire cultivated area. The wa
ter does not run one foot where no
preparation does not provide for it
ditches, and terraces so perfect that
not a break in one or the other can
he found. Whatever stimulant ap
plied to the soil for the use of pro
ducts, remains just where it is put
until consumed by the plants. No
tenants used on the farm, but wage
hands altogether, and their con
tracts binding to perforin any and
every duty on the farm. Mr. Kims’
supply of farm implements are nu
merous—a tool for every work and
every article kept in a suitable
place provided for its care. One in
dustry on this farm, rarely to he
found connected with farming—a
nursery where every fruit tree suit
able to our climate is to be found—
though peaches and apples a speci
alty, and of the best varieties to he
found, all seedling, no grafted trees
or seed from grafted trees used.
Quite a territory of the surrounding
country is supplied from this nur
sery with fruit trees. Of peaches
alone, there are 6,0(10 that will lie
two years old next planting season.
Mr. Kims sells his trees at ten cents
each, and you are allowed to go in
the nursery and pick such as you
want.
Not only this, but everything that
can he raised on a larin is found
here, and some of all to sell. Never
does Mr. Kims go to town hut lie
goes homo with more money than
lie carried. Never goes to town but
that ho carries some farm product
to sell, from an egg to a hale of cot
ton.
llis average crops of cotton for
the past live years has been twenty-
six and one-half bales to the plow,
besides every other uroduot needed
to sustain the farm with some of all
to spare. There is a standing offer
of $26 per acre for tills farm with its
present high state of cultivation
while it cost the owner only eight
in its forest state.
Mr. Kims is not an educated man,
hut lias the power of practical
knowledge to know that fertility of
the richest soils can he reduced to
barrenness, and lie illustrates to the
contrary that naturally poor soil
base of his knowledge. He has con
stantly improved his farm by fol
lowing the path science would have
made, without even knowing the
rudiments of scientific agriculture,
and the only trouble lie has in im
parting ills knowledge to others is
that lie lias no modern language in
which to express his operations.—
lie understands facts but nothing of
terms. What chemistry expresses
in terms he knows in the abstract,
and can inform in a language that
one can understand as he runs. He
knows that certain operations pro
duce certain results, while science
tells how these results are produc
ed.
Mr. Kims uses extravagantly of
fertilizers, but makes, the bulk at
home. Ilis last season’s supply of
domestic manures besides liis use
of 26,000 bushels of cotton seeds as
manure, was 200 loads of dried ma
nure averaging 1,000 pounds each,
making a total of 200,000 pounds.
A few more such farmers would
soon make our country happy.

Savannah News.
The steamer Eliza Ilancox, which
sailed for New York yesterday, had
among her stores 400 pies. One
week ago to-day the Ilancox took
an excursion party down the river.
On board was a large representation
of “crackers.” The steward had
only 80 pies on board, hut he thought
that number would be enough to
last the rest of the week. The pies
were soon discovered by the excur
sionists, and before the deck hands
had finished coiling up the wet haw
sers after cutting loose from the
wharf the eightieth pie had gone to
assimilate with a hastily swallowed
breakfast. Nothing but pie would
appease the hunger and the taste of
the excursionists, and the next
morning the captain ordered 200
pies for the trip.
The thoughtful steward also or
dered 200, and just before the steam
er started two wagons drove up
with 400 apple, lemon, prune, pota-
too, chocolate, cocoanut, squash,
orange and potpies. Every variety
of pie that is in season now except
mud pies was included in the order.
Much to the disappointment of
the captain and the steward, there
was scarcely a call for pie on Wed
nesday.
On Thursday a small boy was giv
en two pies to eat around the decks
and on the wharf, so as to prompt
tlie appetite of the excursionists.
That did not succeed, and no plan
was hit upon to work off the pastry
while the boat staid here. Before
he sailed the captain said that he in
tended to drop into some river or
inlet along the coast and try to
trade the pies to the natives for
oysters. If he cannot do that he
will either use the pies for ballast or
dump them on the Jersey beach as
rations for the mosquitoes.

not a planter in the county that has
anything like a stand of cotton.
Corn is the poorest he ever saw, and
oats an entire failure. This is tlie
second planting of oats; tlie first
crop was killed by the freeze in Jan
uary. The planters went to work
and planted over again, and now to
loose the second time is hard on the
farmers; more so on account of tho
scarcity of corn in tho county.—
Grain dealers say they are selling
more grain this season than for
years. Last fall all tlie hogs died
of cholera.
About two years ago Mr. Cuthbert
Torrence went from Jefferson coun
ty to England to get an estate left
him by a deceased relative. He
died shortly alter crossing tlie
ocean. The estate lias been admin
istered upon in England, and is
worth about $7,000. Judge Tarver
who administered on Mr. Torrence’s
can he raised to a degree of great ' estate, will receive tlie money for
fertility. He don’t understand the the heirs of Jefferson county. Mr.
philosophy and chemistry of bring
ing up tlit* soil by the changes, hut
knows that it is essential, and ills
determinate plan in view is the
A. II. Wotten is attorney for Judge
Tarver, and lias done good work In
bringing tho money over the deep
wide ocean.
Savannah News: It is roughly
estimated that Savannah consumed
last week 2,000 gallons of liquors of
different kinds. Champagne and
artillery punch flowed by the bar
rel. The Cliathams had of one
brand of champagne alone some 1,-
600 quarts. Other champagne, clar
ets, sherries, etc., swelled tlie total
number of quarts of wine to 4,000.
In private entertainments barrels
of wine were consumed. At the
bars beer liejd its own pretty well,
although a larger trade was done in
fine liquors than perhaps was ever
done here before.
Greeneshoro Herald: One of
those heroines of whom the world
hears hut little, lives near Lexing
ton in this state. Her name is Kal-
lio Hansford. Her husband has
been bedridden for nine years with
rheumatism, and she lias had four
children—two boys and two girls—
to support. Last year she bought
one hundred and seven acres of
land, much in original forest, and
with tlie aid of two boys, fourteen
and fifteen years old, cleared five
acres* She cut down tho troes, roll
ed tho logs, split tlie rails, built the
fence, burned tlie brush with their
help alone, and raised nine hales of
cotton, also corn and peas, enough
for her own use, and paid her rent,
her store account, and forty dollars
on her land debt. Khe lias bought
her meat for this year and paid lor
if. In addition to this slut 1ms done
her cooking, milked her cow, and
gone to market with eggs, chickens
and butter, soiling enough to buy
all the clothing needed for tho fam
ily. Kin- is indeed a heroine, and
wo will wager anything that we
have she is a Christian heroine at
that.
