To the Editor of the Telegraph; The kindly notice in your Issue of the lJlh Inst, of the "successful young busi ness man” In connection with, legisla tive honors, Is‘“.very gratifying, of course, oae who has 'thought so little of entering public life as myself, uml the id'ea must Jrave been suggest ed by a recent conversation trekl with several prominent gentlemen, In which l expressed a desire to see certain Taws enacted at the next session ot tihe legis lature; whioh would surely be for the good of our great commonwealth; and U3 my name has been mentioned as a possible law-maker I will be pardoned for saying that the measures alluded to were: An Immigration bureau for Georgia. I do not mean by this any scheme that would encourage the 1m- mlgtu'tlon of a foreign pauper element to Georgia, but a bureau 'that In a practical business-way would, contem plate the bringing of intelligent farm ers, who have some means, from the overcrowded sections of this country and from the old country , as well, who are now looking for a more genial cli mate where lands are not ye't too high. I would h'ave our largo plantations of a thousand acres or more cut atp into »ma4! farms of, say, fifty acres uud thus have our lands thoroughly culti vated and made to , yield what they would. I would have tiro Torrens sys tem of registering the titles 6f lands adopted in Georgia, whereby odr lands, the only collaterals that we have, would be made good collaterals and furnish us the means of cosily obtain ing'all the money we wunt a£ a low rate of interest, for a certificate for a registered lot of land would be "'as good os a Georgia bond. I would have a law passed by which our public rouds could be worked scl- erttifioally and systematically and thus be made good and permanent. Putting our highways In good conditions alone would bring our farm lands up lo a value that we can scarcely realize. Thisfcwould In afl probability change our miieroble conviot leaso system, hich cannot be blotted from our stat utes too soon, If wo would escape the ponaKy.which such an iniquitous prac tice deserves. There Is .yc*t another thing that I have spoken of, .aqff ?53R U the adoption of the Australian bal lot system of voting or a good registra tion law. For my size I suspect you wilt think that I have cut out a great deal of work, but the*e measures briefly al luded to I would like to see become lam, being convinced ’that by them our people would be targely benefited. Now, as <o my candidacy, I will say thlft It 1s atl in the minds of myJenthu- sUatlo friends; representatives of nil classes, l leant, men of Integrity, nten of means and men of Influence, who assure nte that I have only to announce myself to secure their earnest, active support. But duty has always been my w.Vichrword in the affairs of life, and my duty lies now In another direc tion, and <that duty I ohaJl try and faithfully perform. For *the present I have given quite as much of my time and means as I can afford to do, look ing to the building up and welfare of our city and section, and with my un feigned thanks to the friends who have ktndly sought to honor me beyond my deserts, I must decline to become a candidate fer 'representative from Btbb. Faithfully yours, Geo. Smith. Macon. Ga., July 16. 1894. MR. TOTALS’ NOMINATION. To the Editor of the Telegraph: I no ticed In your issue of the 12th lost, that your correspondent from Kastman, re ferring to the neat* primary for senator In the Fourteeuth district. Inttmatc-d tnat a contest u very probable; but 1 thtntc we need not lose any sleep or fear anythin*- serious from that quarter. We kVi-xv'.'l A bij? k'in or two. therefore we are not surprised In ihe least. In a few day* there will be a calm; you can hardly hear a whisper now. Your correspondent further says mat BaJtiy Ryala was elected by Populists. Wrong again. Brother Baldy Rynis was •tooted by the boot men tn the city or Eastman. Cbauncey and the surrounding county, and they were not hired to rote, either. Everything on God’s green eartn wn* done to elect Mr. Aahburn. but of no avail, lie got beat, and badly, too, by a roan who runs on hts ‘Yep. ’ And when I say "rep,” I mean a man whose intellect is as lofty as the ntgnt of th» eagle and as pure as the clouds that b uhe Ms pinions; x man whose character is os strong os Gibraltar's rock, yet as genial in it* glow os the evening: a roan who has never jncftftetd principle^ betrayed a trust or lost a aviso; a roan who. hav ing been reared In our midst, and having served Dodge county before In an official capacity, has kindled for himself a beacon light that will bum and blaze and brighten tn every home where true patriotism is nota dead letter. .

We wanted a man to represent us In the senate hall; a man of Integrity; a man of. well known and approved political opinions, and who has the love of freedom pulsating in his heart. We wanted a man acquainted with public affairs; with the wants of tho people; with a reputation as spotless os a star. We wanted a man who was one of the grandest combinations of heart, brains and conscience within this commonwealth. Such a man, Mr. Editor, Is the Baldy Ryals of Dodge county. Now, if the faction representing Mr. Ashbum wants Is contest this election, all I can say is, "Crack your whip," and we will prove"to you a sight more than we have already told. We are confident of another fact, that the executive com mittee will heartily Indorse the aotlon ot Dodge and that little BaJdy will represent s In tho .lenate. Democrat. Cltauncey, Ga., July 16. DONE BY DEMOCRATS. To the Editor of the Telegraph: I neo from the Eastman correspondent or the Macon Telegraph of yesterday he glvee & reason why Mr. Ashburn was defeated In the nomination for the senate In Dodge county. He rciys that Ashburn was de feated by tho Populists. I a:n gild m learn that we nave attained such strength. The presumption Is toat >f :m> Topunst- oted, as many voted for Ashbum as did for hl» opponent. But the People s party did not defeat him. He was the cause or Ills own defeat, and It was done by Demo crats. The people of Dodgo county are not preparedi to swallow Cleveland or At kinson either, and Ashburn has swallowed both. Now the truth of the whole matter s, Itynls is a Democrat—a plain, unassuming farmer who did not spend a nickel .o get votes; was not In the race over two days,' and beat Ashburn 59 Votes, and lio (Ashburn) had bven In the race since the adjournment of the legislature.

Thy tattered cloak Is fringed with mo* and gray with smoke; Within thy walls we used to see A gaunt old wolf named Poverty; Yet from thy rafters’ dingy bars A ladder’s stretched up to the stars— For us and all the children.

PULLMAN’S CAREER. How the Millionaire Car Builder Got His Sturt in Life. From the Chicago Post Mr. Pullman was born on March 3, mu in Chautauqua, county, N. Y. Hts parents were poor, :uid his edu cation was limited to what he could learn of the rudiimentary branches in tlie district school. At the age of 14 he went to work its a clerk for ti country merchant He kept this pi act* three yturn, studying at night. When 17, he went to Albion, N.* Y., and worked for his brother, who kept a cabinet shop there. Five years later he went into buodn-eoa for himself us a contractor for moving buildings along the line of the Erie canal, wthch wus then being widened by 'the state. He was success ful in tnls, his inventive mind applying to the work mechanical principles nev er before used in thiat way. In 1858 he came to Chicago und en gaged in itlie business of moving and raidng houses. This work was novel here then, and he wus quite successful. About this time the discomfort attend ant on traveling at night unrated Ills attention. He reasoned that tho public would gladly pay for comfortable sleeping accommodations. A few sleep ing cars wvre In use at this time, but they were wretchedly crude, uncom fortable affairs. In 1853 he bought two old day coaches from the Chicago and Alton road and remodeled them on somehthing like the general plan of the sleeping cars of the present day. They were put into service on the Chicago uud Ali’Jon und iUecame eopu&ixi Via once. / iHe saw the possibilities of the busi ness, but had gieat difficulty In lnduc- Ign capitalists to Join him. dlls propo sitions were laughed at. He perse vered, however, and in 1863 built the first sleeping car resembling the Pull man cars of today. It co»t $18,000, nnd wns the Pioneer. After thaic the Pull man Palace Oar Company prospered. It had shops at different cities. In 1880 the town of Pullman was founded by Mr. PuUrilan nnd his company. Mr. Pullman lives a* Eighteenth street mid Prairie avenue. Hte ftunlly consists of hh wife, two sons nnd on** daughter, Florence. Another daughter, Harriet, Is Mrs. Frank J. Oarolan. His wealth Is estimated at $25,000,000. WHIPPED BY A JAY. Sad Fato bf an Effingham County Snake. From the Guyton Chronicle. To the Editor: I witnessed a novel eight a short time ago, viz; the killing and ea-tlng of a snake by a blue Jay. I am living in nn ouk grove here where Mr. Jay makes his home the year round. I aat watching bne of them feeding a short time ago In the grass, when I noticed he got excited from some ob ject. With his feathers ruffled on his neck and head and ta41 erect he charged from the lower branch of an oak and made a vicious thunirp at something In the grass. Again and again he whacked At his anakesnlp, jumping from one cide to tlie other us lightly as an expert lightweight. Then he pteked the snake up In his bill, and with neck stretched tried to carry him to. a 'tree, but the snake was too much alive and had to be dropped. Twice did this occur, when he finally got lilm to an oak limb, cut him in two, dropped one half and car ried the other half to another tree and Btahlm. The snake was about three- elghths of an Inch around and ten Inches long. I was not more than thirty feet from the scene of batitle and the whole thing was done In five mtnutes. Subscriber.
