TRUE CITIZEN.

Volume 8.
Waynesboro, Georgia, Saturday, October 26th, 1889.
Number 26.
*0- Gov. Foraker is said to be
rv s ick. The south will pray for
his recovery on the idea of loving
on( .’s enemies, and doing good to
(1) . )se who despitefully use us.
Ex-State Treasurer Burke
has not not yet sailed from London,
tj i(U !gh there is no cause for his stay
. crass the waters. For him at this
juncture there should be “noplace
like home.”
Green B. Baum, of Missouri
has been appointed Tanner’s suc
cessor. In a former administration
lie was in the Internal Revenue
department. lie was not a special
favorite of the south.
THE ft EURO IN OHIO.
A steamer was wrecked off
Turks Island during the big Sep
tember gale, and the crew was for
(jays in an open boat without food
water. The rains furnished their
scanty supply of water.
The negroes in Chicago and
Indianapolis on the 21st had reli
gious services in which prayers
wore offered up in behalf of the
wronged and oppressed negroes of
the south. On this day the negroes
of the south were having their usu
al good time, and were not even
aware of these queer proceedings
in their behalf. The world is full
of busv bodies and deluded foojs.
Iu Murray City, Ohio, a Republi
can stronghold, a large placard is
posted on the streets in these words:
“No blacks are wanted in this place.”
There was but one negro family in
Murray City, and the night before
t he appearance of this placard, the
house in which this family lived
was burned to the ground. This
family had done no wrong, violated
no law, demanded no rights, but
they were negroes. Therefore their
house was burned from over them,
and after shivering all night in the
cold, when the morrow’s sun dawn
ed upon their blackened and char
red home, they read the inscription,
“No blacks are wanted in this
place.” And yet these white people
come to Waynesboro to teach these
very blacks—but at the same time
thty get their money. Oh, what
good people, how disinterested!
SOI JUNES.
Mr. Ferdinand Phinizy died
at his home in Athens on last Sun
day. Mr. Phinizy had for many
years occupied a prominent place
in die business circles. He had
large means (his property is valued
at over a million) and as a director
of the Georgia railroad he did much
towards working its stock up to its
present high valuation. His home
was noted for its hospitality, and
lie possessed many good traits !
which won the respect ot all who j
Anew him.
Up to October 21st;Savanuah
cotton receipts were 63,000 bales
ahead of last year. When it is re
membered that nearly all the
farmers are members of the alli
ance, and alliancemen are holding
hack their cotton, the idea at once
presents inself what must the crop
be? If shipment outside of the al
liance run the receipts up to 63,000
bales over last year, where will cot
ton go to when thejholdings of the
alliance are turned lose.
Hr. Jas. Camak, of Athens,
is a connection of Mrs. Du Bose, of
Warrenton. He has through his
attorneys tiled two suits against the
Atlanta Constitution, a criminal
suit for libel at Warrenton, and a
civil suit for damages at Atlanta -
The ground of t-huf'prosecution is
the letters written by Mr. Bruffey
from Warrenton when he wrote up
the killing of Cody by McGregor,
in these letters Mrs. DuBose figured
as the disturbing clement which
caused the difficulty.
Sam Jones talked sense when he
said that the newspapers would
never drive him out of the pulpit as
long as the people paid him $30,000
a 3 - ear for preaching. Only a few
years ago Sam didn’t even play
second fiddle in Cartersville. He
lived out on its little suburbs in a
little old shanty. Now, the live city
of Cartersville keeps time only with
His movements. ITis investments
and enterprises cover the whole
town, and Mr. Jones is a power in
the land. His money comes easy,
and he spends It like a lord. He is
fond of horses, and his variety and
style of turnouts are startling to
behold. In his stables can be found
anything in the way of horseflesh,
from the wee bit pairs of Shetland
ponies up to his blooded high step
pers, whose royal pedigrees reach
away back yonder into the dim
ages of horse history. Sam Jones
has made his piles of money, but
during the time the grass didn’t
grow under his feet. He has done
a sight of hard talking. His talk
has reached out in every direction,
and though his searching argu
ments may have gone down into
the pockets of his hearers and taken
therefrom the “demnition cash,”yet
his pleadings have also touched
their consciences, and caused many
a down grade foot passenger to
tarry on the way, and meditate
upon the wratii to come. He says
that he will be able to give an ac
count of bis stewardship, and ac
count for every dime that lias been
dropped in his contribution hat.
CniCAOO ONCE A TRADING POST.
It is usual in legislative bod
ies for all bills to originate in the
House, and for the Senate to pass
upon them before they go to the
executive for his approval. Our
senators say that the House venti
lates every question so thoroughly
and so long that a very large
amount of their work is unfinished
business, and not ready for their
action. On last Friday the Senate
adjourned early in the forenoon, be
cause there was no business before
it. It had to wait for bills to coine
up from the House. On Saturday,
the House adjourned early in the
forenoon, because the speaker could
not get together a working quorum.
Many of the members had gone
home with readily procured leave
of absence, while others were tak
ing in the sights of the. Exposition
and the pleasures of their surround
ings so rapidly drawing to an end.
In the meantime the people are
p-aving the piper without any of the
pleasures of the dance.
IW Special correspondents of
newspapers in their avidity to send
sensational news very often jump
at conclusions, and in doing so do
their people serious wrong. The
news as sent out a few days ago of
file uncalled for lynching of a ne
tt 1 ' 0 train hand at Waycross was
altogether untrue, and there was
the slightest foundation on
which a truth loving man could
have built up such a report. The
negro was standing on the top of a
freight car and did not pay any at
tention to the “tell tale” which no-
iitied bralcemen and others of the
approach to the crossing of the E. T.,
^ a. & Ga. road. His head coming
into violent contact with the heavy
'-irnbers of the crossing, he was of
course instantly killed. His body
Uas picked up on the track, and the
inventive mind of the wide-awake
correspondent at once wired that
the negro had been taken from a
Passenger train and lynched by (of
course) unknown parties.
A few days ago while in Atlanta
the writer spent some time yery
pleasantly listening to a conversa
tion between Judge Van Higgins,
of Chicago, and the wile of the best
member in the lower house of the
legislative assembly. This lady was
the third female born in Chicago,
and is to-day the oldest woman
claiming Chicago for a birth place,
and yet, in years or in looks, she is
not old by any manner of means,
for she has apparently many a year
of life and activity and pleasureable
anticipations spread out before her.
Judge Van Higgins was also one of
the old citizens of Chicago, and the
two went back to the past and re
vived many, to them pleasant and
to myself instructive, reminiscenses.
To sit and listen to one who had
scarcely gone beyond the middle
boundaries of life bringing up the
reminiscenses of frontier life at this
little outside military post, where
now stands the great city of the
West, forces one to put on his study
ing cap and do some tall thinking.
It is no fourth of July talk to say
this is a wonderful, a great, an
amazingly expanding country, with
unlimited capacity and taking on
qualifications truly wonderful to be
hold. To compare the cities across
the waters, whose manhood *run
back away yonder into the distant
centuries, to Chicago, about whom a
lady now in the prime of life can
talk about, when as a trading post, a
speck of feeble existence away out
on the distant confines of civiliza
tion. With such a future of only a
few years ago, and such a present
of truly magnificent and comely
proportions, where is the imagina
tion that can picture the future?
TUE DESTRUCTION OE FORESTS STILL GOES
ON.
As a people we live too much for
the present, and are in many ways
careless of the future. We care
much for the the immediate effects
and are indifferent as to the result
in the hereafter. Even in our busi
ness affairs we have adopted the
convivial motto of Horace, carpe
diem—get all you can out of the
present. But there are some prac
tices which the sober second
thought of only a few minutes
should induce us to abandon—and
that right speedily. If the denuda
tion of our forests is carried on
oply for a fewyears longer the timber
be
but
de-
AI-
question will become one of serious
import. In two centuries as many
trees have been destroyed in this
country as were consumed in south
ern Europe during the long period
of two thousand years. Though
ours is a new country, and in many
sections there are uninhabited re
gions, yet only sixteen per cent, of
our vast territory is covered with
forests. A writer whose studies
and researches have made him an
authority on such subjects express
es the opinion that unless the de
struction of trees on our hill slopes
is stopped, at no distant day, the
cotton states will be under the ne
cessity of raising their crops by ir
ngation while the locust will rav
age the plains on the gulf coast.
In many of the states, the land all
along the mountain slopes is being
denuded of trees, and the winter
rains and thawing snow are wash
ing away the soil. One result will
surely follow, the rivers will
only branches in summer,
floods of overwhelming and
structive freshets in spring,
ready in many localities have these
disastrous results taken place. To
such causes can only be traced
the increasing overflows and de
structive freshets of the Savannah
river. The intelligent nations of
Europe have already realized these
truths, and not only the woodmen
spare the trees, but the replanting
and cultivation of forests has be
come u prominent branch of in
dustry. The government of France
owns one million acres of forest
land, Germany lias thirty million
acres, and in Prussia, Norway and
Sweden the cultivation of forests
has been carried to such an extent
that the increase of timber has gone
ahead of its consumption. In this
respect the capitalists of Europe are
showing wisdom gathered from ex
perience. Every day we read of
large investments ot foreign capi
talists in American forests, and al
ready do these rich syndicates pos
sess little principalities In the va
rious states of the Union. An Eng
lish syndicate owns 110,000 acres in
Wisconsin; an English syndicate
owns 175,000 of best hard wood tim
ber in Iveutucky for which they
paid only $2.50per acre, and they are
confident of yet realizing $100 an
acre from it. One English syndi
cate owns 700,000 acres in Mississip
pi. Sir Edward Reed owns 2,000,000
acres in Florida, while hundreds of
thousands of acres are held by
these rich foreigners all over Texas,
Georgia, Alabama and the Caro-
linas. It would not only amaze us
but furnish food lor the most sober
reflection were it known how many
million acres of our national do
main are owned by foreign capital
ists. These investment are of com
paratively recent date, and from
present indications only a begin
ning has been made.
In our own state what huge ef
forts are being made to send all of
our timber to market. The pine
forests beneath the middle belt of
Georgia are rapidly disappearing,
and greedy capitalists are running
their branch railroads in every di
rection in search of more timber.
The yellow pine of Georgia is
eagerly sought after by the outside
world, but the day will come when
the same timber will be needed at
home and the people who are now
selling it for a mere song will
themselves be forced to pay many
times the prices they are now get
ting. Georgia is not only selling
off the tress on her heavily timber
ed land to syndicates and foreign
capitalists, but her people at home
have their bump ot destruction ful
ly developed and every where in
things both great and small, does
the process of destruction go steadi
ly on. This denudation has been
so unwise and improvident that on
a large number of plantations in
middle and upper Georgia there is
a scarcity of timber even for farm
purposes, and yet even amid this
growingscarcity the destruction and
waste would utterly dumfound the
the citizen of the old world, aud
the time will surely come when
what we now waste would make
our children comfortable. The in
telligent people (and fortunately
they are the ruling element) of the
more densely populated states have
already been forced to realize the
situation, and have adopted wise
precautions for staying these de
structive in-roads. In every locali
ty where there is thrift and intelli
gence, are stock laws in force, and
there is an immense saving of labor
and timber, and a corresponding
improvement in the productiveness
of the soil and the general output
of the farm. This area of intelli
gence has but dawned in Georgia,
and only the more intelligent and
progressive counties in the middle
and upper portions of the state
have adopted this wise provision.
The magnificent timber lands of
poor old Burke county have al
ready gone to waste, and on many
farms productive acres lie idle bi
cause of the lack of timber suitable
for fencing. The intelligent farmer
feels this and did it not require some
effort on his part, the evil would be
remedied. But the predominating
element of the blaekbelt is the con
trolling power, and even our repr
esentatives in the legislature with
all the lights before them are afraid
to introduce bills when requested
by the most progressive class of
their constituents. The day for the
stock law of Burke county will
surely come. But before the eyes
of the masses are opend wide
enough to see the evil that is threat
ening them, the trouble will have
already come, and stern necessity
will force them to do, what only
common sense all along dictated.

are respectfully and cordially invited to call and examine my stock and prices before mak
ing their purchases. The quality of the goods I have sold the past three years, is my strong
est claim to patronage. I was the first and only house in this city to announce that
No Shoddy Goods Would be Kept !
I have kept that promise. In all the Shoes I sell, certainly some may have failed to give
satisfaction. It would be astonishing if it were otherwise. I have never failed to make all
claims of such kind good! I enjoy no monopoly in buying good SHOES; other dealers can
buy them, it they will. The difference is tiiis—Some dealers want the profit, and don’t care
what, they sell so the profit is made. I also like a fair profit on my goods: but I aiso have
some pride in my business. I take pleasure in selling only good shoes. I would rattier have
the credit of keeping the best shoes than that very doubtful honor of selling the cheapest.
The Best is Always Cheapest!
I keep the best. Another fact I wish to call attention to,
tgST I EMPLOY NO DRUMMERS. jrJ
I urge every one coming to the cjty to beware of these leeches. The city abounds in
White and black drummers for shoe houses. I pay no percentage to drummers. The cus
tomer who trades with me saves! this. HONEST GOODS, FAIR DEALING, COURTE
OUS TREATMENT of all custoners. This is what I guarantee visitors. MR. PETER
