His dying testimony was taken that day
by Justice Campbell, and was to tbo eiTcct

in jail.
The Supreme Court of Georgia bas de
cided the legislative attack on ex r
Treasurer John W. Renfroc to be uncon
stitutional, and that the resolution passed
was void, and that It was class legisla
tion.
Miss Elea. Smith, who lost her scalp
in the flouring mill at Litbonia, some
time ago, bas about recovered, but will
never have any more hair to grow on her
head. . «
Mrs. McIntosh, of Quitman, the
mother of A. M. McIntosh, of the Albany

almost as bis own mother.
Prop. W. W. Kennerly, a gentleman
well known in Southwest Georgia, died
at bis father’s, near Dccherd, Tcnn., last
week. He leaves a wife and two
children.
There is Dope for this man described
by the Marietta Joumcl: What young
married man was it that went to see the
“dizzy blondes,” and afterwards, on Ids
way home, became extremely penitent
and knelt on a bridge and prayed for
forgiveness ?
A Northern tourist en route to
Florida, says the Savannah News, de
sired to purchase ten cents worth of post
age stamps, was outraged yesterday at
tnding the post-office closed. He had, it
seems, never heard of the statesman with
a little hatchet.
Rev. J. F. Pool, died suddenly of
apoplexy at Lis home in Taylor county,
on the 5th inst.
Mrs. A. K. Childs, of Athens, died on
Sunday morning last. She was sick only
a few days.
Clark’s factory, in DeKalb county,
was washed away on the 11th inst. Cot
ton, cioit. and sdooIs of thread were
picked up for miles down the iircr. The
loss is reported to be over $73,000.
On Wednesday morning last, Savannah
had quite a destructive fire, aggregating
a loss of about $35,000, which was par
tially covered by insurance. We copy
the following from the Savannah Record
er'. The building was occupied by George
A. Hudson, as a fish and oyster depot;
Audrew Hanley, as a warehouse, wherein
he had sashes, doors, blinds and windows,
and George V. Hecker & Co., for the
storage of flour and grain. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but it spread with
alarming rapidity, and communicated
with all departments in the building in
an almost incredibly short time. Mr.
Hudson succeeded, however, in saving his
hooks, which were slightly charred; sev
eral hundred shad, which he was to have
shipped to-day on the steamship Gate
City, and some barrels of fish, which, op
portunely, were left near the door for ira-
iheillate shipment. His loss will be
about $2,000. He was only insured for
$1,000. Mr. Hanley’s loss was about $0,-
000, on which he had an insurance of $5,-
000 in a company the name of which we
could not learn. His stock consisted of
window frames, blinds, doois and mate
rial used in building, which was of an in
flammable nature and could not be easily
saved. He will not, however, be serious
ly inconvenienced in tbat line of busi
ness, as bis ordeis will be
filled immediately. Mr. Decker’s loss was
about $10,000, on which there was an in
surance of $G,0tX) Solomon Brothers sus
tained serious losses by the falling of a
brick wall on the southeast side of their
store, which caused it to cave in. Part of
the goods were crushed, while the greater
portion was damaged by fire and water.
Their losses cannot be approximated as a
considerable part of their stock is covered
by bricks, burning embers and fallen tim
ber. They are insured for $50,000 In the
German American, Royal, London, Lon
don and Lancashire, Loudon, Liverpool
and Globe, Insurance Company of North
America, Imperial of New York, Star, of
New York and Scottish Union Insurance
Company. The building in wiiich the fire
occurred was owned by the Mercer estate,
of which Robert L. Mercer, Esq., is agent,
and is Insured for $5,000 in the Pha-nix
Assurance Company, of Loudon, of which
Mr. H. T. Botts is agent.
Rome Tribune: ThePress Convention
will meet in Rome In May, and they
should be properly entertained. A thou
sand goose quills offering to sing the
pra’ses of the Hill City arc not to be
despised.
Hinesville Gazette: Jasper Price, the
man charged with the murder of Rich
mond Peacock, lias been removed by the
sheriff to the jail in Savannah. We sup
pose tbat it was considered unsafe for
him to be kept in the jail in this place.
He will be held lor trial at the May term
of the court.
Talbotton Standard: The contract
ors ou the Talbotton railroad, Messrs.
Ued'.l & Johnson, completed the grading

Savannah Recorder: Hon. John B.
Habersham, ex-mayor of Brunswick, died
in that city yesterday. His remains were
brought to this city and interred in Laurel
Grove cemetery, to-day.
The Augusta Nines, speaking of the
Chicago screw pulverizer says: This ma
chine was tested out West by Mr. J. L.
Fleming, and he brought one to Augusta
and is delighted with its operations. It
not only plows, but pulverizes the earth.
It pulverizes, prepares, plants and covers
all at the same time, and one machine,
one man and four horses does more work
per day than half a dozen men. It is thus
a great labor saving machine, and that it
works successfully Mr. Fleming is satis
fied. He is a practical planter and knows
the value of such a machine. Ho will ex
hibit it to-morrow, and all interested are
invited to witness the wonderful combina
tion pulverizer and tickler of mother
earth.
8t.mter Republican: Our farming
friends have been hard at work for the
past week, making the best use of tbc
beautiful sunshine to prepare their lands
for the crops of 1881. Wa hear that they
are sadly behind in farm work, and tbat
labor is scarce. We arc requested to ask
some immigrant society to lorward out
•ome laborers, Chinese, Dutch, Swiss,
Irish, German, or any one else that would
make good farm bands; they are needed,
and needed badly, just now. Rut in our
humble opinion, none of the other races
can begin to couie up with the colored
man in a cotton patch. When it comes
to a mule and a negro, the corn, potatoes,
cotton and sugar cane must grow.
Augusta News: Just after awak
ing from a pleasant andjieaceable night's
sleep, aud after telling his wife be would
get up for breakfast, the Rev. M. H.
Reese fell back and died without a groan.
This occurred at his residence on Barnes
street at about 6 o’clock this morning.
Mr. Reese, although an employe of one of
our cotton mills, was the pastor of Silver
Run Baptist church, and was well known
in Richmond, Columbia, McDuffie and
several other counties ss s pious man and
devout Christian. His remains will be
buried at the Palmer place, two miles
from Berzelia, to-morrow evening. He
was about 63 yean of age.
Rome Courier: Mn. Elizabeth Waters,
relict of Joseph Waters, died at the old
homestead, in this county, on the 19th

three score and ten.
Marietta Journal: Mr. Tbos. Hardy,
an honest, hard-working gentleman, who
lives a few miles south of Marietta, had a
cancer to make its appearance on the big
toe of his left foot. He had the toe am
putated, but the cancer has made Its sec
ond appearance and his foot will have to
be cut off, aud the doctors are to attend to
it this week.
brought last week before Justice Thomas
C. Hays, of Osceola district, Oconeo coun
ty, for tbo sum of fifty cents. The suit
came about in this way: The plaintiff,
whom we will call A, sent by defendant
B five dollars to pay a church subscrip
tion—the balance to be returned to A.
Tlio subscription was paid; but A claimed
tbat the change which B returned to him
was fifty cents less than it ought to have
been. ThisB denied, and so to law
they went. Justice Hays decided in fa
vor of defendant; whereupon plaintiff al
leged error and demanded a jury. The
jury tried the case, and likewise found
for defendant with costs of suit. The case
will probably not go to the Supreme
Coart.
McDuffie Journal: In this section a
majority of the farmers have hardly begun
work as yet. The weather lias been so
very unfavorable that many have yet to
sow their small grain, while preparations
of com and cotton land are far behind.
But they are having some good weather
now, and arc putting in regular hallelujah
licks.
Sumter Republican: Mrs. James Har
vey, of Samter county, formerly of Schley,
fell dead while walking in her garden on
Monday last. She was about thirty-three
years of age, and leaves a husband with
several small children.
The Republican also says: Mr. A. B.
Countryman, an old citizen of Schley
county, died at his residence on Monday
last of heart disease. He was an honest,
upright and good citizen, respected by all
who knew him for his unswerving integ
rity.
Rome Courier: It is onr firm belief
that trains will be running direct from
Romo to Chattanooga within eighteen
months. Then there’ll be no more coal
famines in Rome.
Augusta News: The editor of the
Athens Banner was in Augusta last week,
aud writes home to say that on Wednes
day night an inebriated man was ob
served holding himself up by means of a
lamp post on a prominent street. This
lamp post had on it a mail box, and the
mau had apparently stood there for some
lime. A reporter had occasion to jjjss
the man, and remarked: “Hello, there,
what’s the matter?” “Well,” said the
man, “I—hie—put five cents in the box
here half an hour ago, and this car ain’t
started yet.”
Talbotton Register : Some time since
Mr. Tom Cartwright, living about five
miles west of Talbotton, had a crib con
taining fifty orseventy-fivo bushels of corn
Lurnfid. A lot of fodder was also burned.
The crib stood in a field some distance
from his dwelling. The training is sup
posed to have been the work of an inceu-
diary.
Dublin Post: There arc six drugstores
in Dodge county, the result of abolishing
bar-rooms and allowing druggists and
physicians to sell whisky for “medicinal
purposes.” The law is a lame one. Jt is
well enough for liquors for medicinal pur
poses to be kept In drug stores where bar
rooms ate allowed, bnt when liar-rooms
are abolished, the sale of liquor bjt drug
gists for any purpose ought to ha prohib
ited; for the simple reason that the drug
store must needs he a bar-room under an
other name.
The following will explain why the
editor of the Warreuton Clipper has no
corns on h is toes: “We liavo a pair of
boots that we purchased in May, lf>72.
They are older than oiu oldest boy. They
are said to be liaud-made, but they were
made to tbe order of a merchant, outside
of the State. We paid ten dollars for
them, which was said to be the cost of
them, as they were priced at fifteen dol
lars. We never had them in the hand of
a boot maker more than once or twice,
and one of these time for tbe purpose of
Lalf-soliug them. They are serviceable to
some extent yet.”
The Gordon correspondent of tbo Ir-
winton Appeal says: “There is no neces
sity for people buying tickets when the
train leaves at 0 o’clock in the morning.
The railroad Is not allowed to charge ex
tra when the ticket office is not open a
half hour before the train arrives, audit
does not compel tbe agent to open before
0 o’clock.
On the 23d inst. a spark from the en
gine at the Northeastern depot in Athens
fell upon a cotton bale, and was soon
fanned into a flame. There were about
106 compressed bales lying on the plat
form ready for shipment, and in a very
slioit time tbo whole number were on
fire. A strong wind blowing made things
look serious for a time. The alarm was
given and the firemen were at work.
The Banner says there were not a dozen
bales in the whole lot bnt what were
more or less injured, some of them being
only charred on the oatside. The bales
were all scattered, and after a rigorous
fight the fire was subdued. The cotton
was insured.
The latest sensation in Atlanta—for
Atlanta always must have a sensation—is
that one Pink Pratt will be hung on the
4tb of March in Marietta, and Atlanta Is
getting up an excursion to that point,
ostensibly, it is said, to moltify the feel
ings of the “man and brother,’* who has
been snuffed at Washington. If they
can’t go to the inaugural, they can go to a
hanging.
The Albany post-ofllce is now doing
about $100,000 worth of money order
business per annum.
Mrs. Du jiam, the wife of Mr. Lind
sey Durham, a well known citizen of
Watkinsville, died Tuesday night at her
home in that place.
Rev. P. S. Twrrrr, of Cuthbert, is
still Improving.
We are afraid that Hodges of the Perry
Rome Journal, lives too near our friend
Woods in Hawkinsville. He should re
member that gonrdvines beat strawberries
a long ways. He says “quite annmber
of strawberry plants are growing in the
court bouse yard. A reminiscence of tbe
strawberiy festivals held in the court
bouse last summer.”
Columbus Enquirer: A few days ago
Mr. George Allen, one of the oldest citi
zens of Harris county, died at bis resi
dence near Montain Hill, lie was over
eighty years of age, and was a good citi
zen and highly respected by those who
knew bim. Ho was a member of tbe
Methodist church, and lived a consistent
life. There is perhaps not a man who
bas been r. candidate lor office in Harris
county for the past forty years that does
not know bim, as lie was always one of
the managers of election. His death was
the result of general debility.
Athens Banner: The bridge at tbe
Pioneer Paper Mills, which was washed
away some time since, is being rebuilt by
Mr. II. M. I'ullilove, of Oconee county.
Mr. Fullilove is an oldHiand at the business
of bridge building, and his past labors of
this kind are a guarantee that he will do
good work for tbe two counties which are
having the work done.
Albany News and Advertiser: What
about convening the Southwest Georgia
Industrial Association into a cotton facto-
lycompany? The property Is well lo
cated for tho purpose and fairs seem to be
under the weather.
Messrs. N. & A. F. Tift & Co., have
purchased of John A. Davis, receiver, the
entire stock of merchandise belonging to
the firm of Welch & Bacon.
Columbus Enquirer: Within the past
few days a number of telegraph offices on
tho American Union line have been sus
pended In tbe small towns, and among
them the offices at LaGrange and New-
nan. Yesterday tbe manager at Atlanta
received orders not to suspend any others
on the line. The order is issued from the
fact of a number of suits now pending on
account of the consolidation. Tbe office
iu this city is open for tbe trans
action of all business that it is desired to
transact through it.
PK&By Home Journal: A dozen or more
negro men were in attendance on the
County Court last Tuesday. Tbe case
was on a writ of habeas corpus concerning
an orphan negro child. Law and tbe
tbe courts some times rob the agricultural
interests of our county of labor to a con
siderable extent.
Cuthbert Enterprise: R. R. Wright,
principal of tlie High School for pupils of
color in the city of Augusta, and proprie
tor of the Journal of Progress, has re
moved liis material, fixtures, etc., to Au

tion.
Rome Courier: Half a dozen negro
men, with a baggage car full of cheap
trunks, exodus ted from Rome yesterday.
They came up from one of the river plan
tations, and checked through to Arkadel-
phia, Ark. After they liavo chilled out
there until they have turned as pale as a
mouse-colored mule, they will long for
some of the pure old mountain dew which
trickles from the side of North Georgia
mountains.
Athens Banner: Yesterday, as Hook
and Ladder company was going to the
fire, the tiller of the track struck Captain
J. H. Hull and knocked him into a ditch,
He was taken out with a rib broken. Dr,
Wade was called to see him, and he is
doing well.
Hawkinsville Dispatch: It appears
to he cheaper to run “drag stores” in
Dodge county than to pay $1,500 for the
privilege of retailing liquor. Under the
present law only one man has paid $1,500
to sell whisky at Eastman, but “drug
stores” are numerous th; ouehout the coun
ty, and it is now reported that another
apothecary shop will soon bloom into
existence in Eastman.
Columbus EnquRer: Yesterday one or
cur prominent grocery firms received a
letter from Stewart county, in which the
gentleman writing said tbat the impres
sion prevailed in his section that an epi
demic of sin all-pox and scarletfeverwas
raging in this city. The consequence of
this false report b to prevent people from
coming here to market. The Enquirer-
Sun yesterday evening sent a reporter to
several of the most prominent physicians
to ascertain, and we are glad to state tbat
there is not a case of scarlet fever or
small-pox In the city. We give this in
formation as reliable, as it was obtained
troin those who are in a position to know,
and the only ones who are. We trust that
none will longer he kept away by tbc
false report.
Athens Banner: Yesterday afternoon
at 5 o’clock, Mr. W. W. King, well known
in tliis section as a contractor and bridge
builder, was married to Miss Georgie
Swift, at the A. M. E. church. Rev. J.
C. Johnson performed the ceremony. It
was quite a stylish affair. About three
hundred invitations were issued, elegant
ly printed, with tbe monogram of S is K.,
with two hands, one placing a ring on the
lorefinger of the other. A large number
of whites were present.
Atlanta Phonograph: At the close
ot the Herrman performance last night the
entire troupe, consisting of A. nerrman,
Mile. Aildie Uerrman7 G. W. Zebold,
William Single and J. C. Lorelia, were
arrested by Captain Thomas under a
bench warrant issued by Judge Stewart,
charging them witli playing arid betting,
to appear at Rockdale Superior Court,
now in session. TheJ warrant was served
by Constable J. M. Day, W. E. Harp,
acting as his deputy. The facts in tho
case, as noaras we could get them, are
about as follows: Last Tuesday afternoon
the Herrman troupe came up tbe Georgia
road to fill an engagement in this city.
They were discovered, daring the time
the train stopped at Conyers, to be play
ing and betting. Solicitor-General Wom
ack was on the train at the time of the al
leged gaming and will be a principal wit
ness in the case. Other witnesses have
been summoned to appear at the trial,
some of whom are in tbe city. The
troupe gave bond to appear at tbe Rock
dale Superior Court 1 next Saturday. Mr.
Leon DeGive as their security. They
will go to Montgomery and fill au engage
ment to-night. The troupe claim that
they were not playing for gain, and that
all the money which passed between
them was returned to its respective own
ers.
Jonesboro News: A smart colored
man fell asleep the other day on a plank
at the depot, aud when the down train
arrived, he awoke to find himself tied
down hard and fast. It was very impor
tant that ho should ho up just then, and
as be aroused from sleep, lie struggled
hard hard to fill his engagements hut all
to no purpose. Tbe attention of the pas
sengers was attracted by the whites of the
darky’s eyes and the novel spectacle gen
erally, and many inquiries were made
concerning his crime, eta, which were
promptly answered by the bystanders to
the increased annoyance of the unfortu
nate darky. One said he had stolen a
horse, another that he was sentenced to
death and was going to be hung, etc., and
the darky seemed to doubt whether it was
himself or some other rascal. It was all
for fun though.
Atlanta Constitution: Over in Cobb
couuty, about twelve miles from the city,
lives a modest country maiden who, but
for tho fickleness of & member of the
sterner sex, would be enjoying the blisses
of a honeymoon. One day last week was
the time set for the marriage of Mr.
William Mohair and Miss Lon Harris,
who resided on the farm of Uncle Johnny
Richards, twelve miles from the city. On
tbe day set for the wedding Mohair got
ten dollars from his Intended and came
toward Atlanta, ostensibly for the purpose
of baying some needed articles for bis
prospective Louse-keeping. At the same
time Messrs. Burgess and William Rich-
arils, who were clearing up a field, dis
posed of a load of fodder, and selling the
axes they were using, joined Mohair.
The three have left, and since then have
not been heard of. The young lady and
her friends sat up late on tiie night set for
tbo wedding, but as tho bridegroom did
not make his appearance she is still iu a
state of single blessedness.
Newnan Ucrald: A sad accident oc-
onrred at Ilogansvillc on the night of the
ICth inst. Wm. Malone, of Fairburn, train
hand on tbe Atlanta and West Point rail
road, in trying to draw a coupling pin
while the train was running slowly, he
walking backward, stepped into a stock-
gap and fell with outstretched anus. His
right arm, lying across the Iron rail ot the
track, was crushed off near the shoulder,
and ail the lingers of tiie left band except
tbe little finger were cut off by the cruel
wheels. His suffering were intense, as
may well be supposed. Tbe same night
he was carried back to liis home in Fair-
burn. A very popular young man among
his acquaintances, this sad accident is
greatly regretted by all.
Albany Neios and Advertiser: From
a gentleman who came up from Quitman
yesterday we learned that on the day be
fore Mr. Charles Arnold, a man of some
notoriety in that vicinity, where ho is
familiarly called “Uncle Charley,” was
killed by a runaway team, under the fol
lowing circumstances: He went to town
with a young man for a load of guano,
and whilst tbe wagon was bciDg loaded
at the warehouse the mules took fright at
something and started to ran. “Uncle
Charley” ran up to the wagon to catch
tbs lines, and was struck by one of the
wheels aud knocked down, when another
wheel passed over his body, crashing him
badly. He died In less than an hour.
Americus Republican; In Amerlcus
this week busiuess has been active, not
withstanding the unprecedented fair
weather for the farmers. The guano trade
is odorous. All shapes and styles of
rolling stock—ox wagons, carts, one ox,
Lwooxen, four oxen, six oxen, mules, in
the same distribution, sulkies, buggies,
backs, have all been utilized in the ex
portation of goods, and some in bringing
cotton and carrying off guano. Let it
roll.
Cartxrsville Free Press: Mr.
Hammond calls Felton, Speer and
Stephens the Siiadrach. Methach and
Abednego of Georgia politics. All right,
these illustrious scripture worthies were
cast into the fiery famace and came out
without even the “smell of fire on their
garments.” If we recollect aright the
“gregarious animals” in Georgia politics,
tbe officials who were investigated, im
peached and exposed by tbe Legislature
of 1879, got out of the fiery furnace pretty
badly scorched, and the fire brought out
some bad odors that we cannot cover up
even yet. Hurrah for Shadracb, Methach
and Abednego 1 Try It again, Brother
Hammond.
Fort Gaines Tribune: Just about as
we go to press, we learn through a very

The ball, it is said Is lodged near the liver.

Thomasville, February 24.—In tbe
hurry of making up tbe report late at
night for yesterday’s proceed! ngs,and hav
ing lost some of the notes taken in the
early part of the day, mention of the open
ing address by Hon. Thoma3 Hardeman,
Jr., president of the convention, was unin
tentionally neglected. He spoke mainly
on the progress and prosperity of Georgia
in the past, giving many statistics and fig
ures in proof of his assertions. His speech
was delivered in a most elegant aud grace
ful style, and was listened to with marked
interest and attention. Dr. Mann, men
tioned in yesterday’s report, said of it that
it was the best speech lie had ever heard,
and that it should be published and sdnt
all over the land, aud the various epithets
of “beautiful,” “splendid,” “grand,” etc.,
eta, were applied to it from all sides.
The meeting was called to order this
morning at 9:30 o’clock. Prof. H. C.
White not having arrived, the convention,
was denied the pleasure of hearing his
address on “Science applied to tho Practi
cal Avocations of Life.”
Hou. B. F. Crayton, of South Carolina,
then delivered his address on “Fencing
Stock vs. Fencing Crops.’’ This was re
plete with humor, and interrupted by fre
quent bursts of applause. Ho showed the
advisability ot altering the fence law of
Georgia, and of fencing in stock instead
of crops. This may do very well in thick
ly populated sections of the country, but
here in Southwest Georgia, where only a
very small proportion of land is cultivated
or even cleared, and tbe stock allowed to
pasture iu the opeu lands, such a change
in the law wonld be an insupportable bur
den.
After this a resolution was offered to
tho effect that the State Legislature Ths re
quested to pass a law allowing the differ
ent counties to vote on this, and to decide,
each for itself, on this important ques
tion.
Col. C. W. Mabry, of Troup county,
then gave a very interesting account of
bis experience with cattle, aud expatiated
at large ou the well known “Guion sys
tem of selecting milk cows.” After this
the convention adjourned to the Young
Female College where they were highly
entertained with an exhibition in calis
thenics by the young ladies, which did
great credit to their teacher.
Col. David E. Butler, in an impromptu
speech, then thanked the young ladies for
the exhibition in his usual happy style,
afternoon session.
As Prof. White had come in on the 12
o’clock train, he was called on to deliver
his address tbat was looked for this morn
ing, but many of tbe members being anx
ious to return homo to-morrow, he deciin
ed speaking, in order that the necessary
business be finished to-night. He said he
would be glad to address the convention
at some future time. A motion was theu
made and carried that be be asked to de
liver the address proposed for to-day at
the meeting to he held iu August.
Dr. H. ~fl. Carey, superintendent of
fisheries for Georgia, then gave the con
vention a very interesting talk on “Re
port ou fish culture, with suggestions ou
the construction of carp ponds and man
agement of German carp.” Ho says that
it bas been proved to a certainty that the
carp can be hatched artificially, and tliat
when placed in rivers very young they
will go down to tbe ceacoast and return
in three years fully grown; that tho rivers
of Georgia are as well adapted as those
ol any State for the culture of this fish;
that if he can get a suitable appropriation
from the State Legislature—one-sixth of
a cent from each inhabitant—lie will put
thirty millions of these fish in the waters
of Ibe Georgia rivers this year. In rais
ing these fish three ponds are generally
used, but two will answer—ono for
hatching and breeding, tiie other for the
larger fish. “Have a regular place to feed
tLem and they will lie arouud like hogs
and so cau bo easily caught with a net
whan wanted to cat.” These fish are of
three kinds—scale, mirror and leather.
Tho first have scales like other fish, the
second have three or four rows of large
scales on the side; the leather carp hare
no scales, but a skin like a catfish.
Almost every State in the union has a
fisli commission. Of the Southern States
Florida is the only one not having a com
mission of this sort.
Ho concluded by urging tiie members
to see that they elected representatives to
Urn Legislature who would enforce all
builders of dams to construct “fish ways"
around them, so tbat these fish in return
ing from the sea or gulf can pass up the
rivers and so be in reach ol all; that they
may, from being a luxury, become the
common food.
After Dr. Carey’s address, some other
members made a few remarks on the
same subject, when, after giving several
members permission to go home to-mor
row morning, tho convention was ad
journed iu some disorder, as the South
Georgia Agricultural College battalion
came up, accompanied by a brass band, to
escort tha members of the convention to
tiie campus. The battalion was then di

EVENING SESSION.
The address of Mr. Malcolm Johnston,
retiring secretary, was referred to the
executive committee, aud they were in
structed to procure a copy of it for publi
cation, also ono to be kept witli the pa
pers of the society.
Col. Fannin, at the request of several
members, withdrew the invitation for the
convention to meet in LaGrange, and it
was unanimously decided to hold the
next meeting (in August) iu Rome.
Next came tiie address of Mr. David
Nichols, of Cobb county, on “Howto
Prevent Lands from Washing.” His
main idea was tho following: Run the
ditches in the field around the hillside, so
that they be nearly horizontal—throwing
tbe dht on the lower side; have a strip of
grass or clover, from six to twelve feet
wide, on tbe upper side ot the ditch, and
on this strip throw brush and logs. This
will atop most of the organic matter tbat
would otherwise be carried away. It can
then be removed to any part of tho field
for fertilizing.
Plant willows or other sncli trees along
tho banks of streams running through
land and this will not only prevent wash
ing but will catch much of the debris of
overflows. A copy of this was also re
quested for publication.
Mr. W. G. Whidby, of Atlanta, then
addressed the convention on the subject
of “The Future of Georgia Terra Incogni
ta.” He advanced an idea tbat the Leg
islature might profit by—viz: That good
roads to market will be more effectual
than any other means to prevent illicit
distilling. He referred to a remark than
had been made tbat the country around
Atlanta produced nothing but chinquepins
and chickens, and said that South Georgia
could glory in gophers and goobers, and
Pike county in ’possums and persimmons,
to which Mr. Butler begged leave to add
potatoes. A copy of this address was re
quested for publication.
As the business ot the convention was
finished sooner than was expected, the
President requested Prof. II. C. White to
deliver his address—subject as stated
above. An attempt to praise this able
and eloquent address would fall so far
short of Its due that it would be ridicu
lous, as it too, Is to be published we ad
vise all who can to read it, it is well worth
the perusal of anyone. He presented, be
sides hi» written speech, tbe science of
tbe very common arts of bread making,
preserving food, and manufacture and use
of soap. When be said he was sorry tbe
lateness of the hour would not permit
him to give more, cries of “go on!” were
beard from all parts of the room. But be
retired with tbe applause and admiration
of ail his bearers.
The report of tbe executive committee
was then heard, which was in substance
tbe following: The association is out of
debt and has some surplus money on
hand. E. V. Grier was elected secretary,
and the sal ary .reduced to $700 the years
that fairs are held, and to $500 tbe years
that no fairs are held. The next fair is to
be held In Macon. This report was re
ceived and adopted. Hon. Thomas Har
deman, Jr., then made a Tew remarks,
after which a copy of his speeech of yes
terday was requested for publication. The
convention then adjourned.
The resident alumni then invited Pro
fessors White and Brown, together with
ail the trustees and alumni of the State
University who were present, to attend a
reunion, at which about twenty-five were
present. The following toasts were pro
posed and responded to by the gentlemen

Tile Effect or Bad Harvest* nod or
American Competition—Hopeless
lie** ol tbe Future.
From the London Economist.
It ipay bo from fear of America, it may
he from tiie long coutinuanco of unprofit
able harvests, it may be from the riso in
tho expenditure especially upon labor, or
it may even he from increased intelli
gence, bnt there is a hopeicssneis about
farmers’ complaints which exjieriencod
men, familiar with their ways, nover re
member before. They hardly look for any
improvement. They do not speak of the
bad times as exceptional. They do not,
among each other, talk of prices as sure
to improve. Above all, they throw up their
farms on apparently light provocalirn.
Experienced land agents notice
a total' difference of tone; an in
disposition to haggle, a sort of determina
tion to make none but low offers, and to
stick to them. The tenant", as they say,
seem not to want tho farms, and make
offers too low to be entertained, in a kind
of spiteful sport. Very often no oilers at
ail can be entertained, and the land is
either thrown upon the landloid’s hands
or goes out of cultivation. The latter oc
currence was formerly most unusual in
Great Britain, and seems almost impossi
ble; but th re is no reason to doubt the
statements made that in every county in
the {south and East large numbers of
farms formerly yielding good rents are
lying idle, the landlords being unwilling
to let at low rents to men who ask long
leases, and unwilling to cultivate for
themselves or able to bear a tempo’ary
loss. We know in our own experience of
a district in which eleven farms, poorisli to
fair as to soil, are deserted and un
tilled, and have read advertisements
of a quite extraordinary character in the
way of temptation to tenants. Of farms
in the landlord’s hands, and of farms
broken into two or three, there is no end,
while land in modest patches has sunk in
value to a degree which suggests a kind of
dread among tenants as well as land buy
ers. There is a feeling of hopelessness, in
fact, abroad among farmers of the better
class, and of reluctance to remain in the
business, which of itself may produce im
portant effects, willingness to farm having
been an important element in the trade.
It differed from all others in its attraction
fora class—those who preferred country
life and were content not only with mod
est profits, but with almost an entire ab
sence or those chances which In many
walks of life are so attractive. Now that
willingness bas disppeared.

“Take the gentleman’s card to No. 245,”
said tiie superb creature who sits behind
tho marble counter at Willard’s and
makes guests and visitors feel like
little bits of atoms whenever they are ob
liged to go Into his august presence.
The representative, whose pasteboard
-was entrusted to a free American citizen
Of African descent, cooled liis heels against
the counter, unnoticed by the gorgeous
clerk, who returned to bis newspaper and
tbe contemplation of his immaculate linen
lor about five minutes, when the un
bleached hell boy returned and said:
“Miss Calhoun will be down In a mo
ment. Please walk dis way, sab;” and,
following him, the pencil-slinger was ush
ered into the magnificent salon, and se
lecting a window where he could
study well the features ol the young
aspirant for histrionic fame, whose
performances have shown such decided
talent, he anxiously awaited her coming.
He had not long to wait, for in a lew mo
ments, the young actress came smilingly
forward, and, placing a chair for her, he
for a brief moment lost his presence of
mind aud stared at her in rapt admiration.
A face with features not strictly regular,
bulflexlble, mobile, varying with every
emotion; eyes dark, liquid and melting;
. lips full, ruddy and with a perfect Cupid’s
bow; a delicately moulded chin; hair of a
dark chestnut, rich and glossy, and curl
ing in little ringlets over a broad, low
forehead, and a figure of exquisite
proportions, robed in a black silk, with,
rare lace at the throat, relieved by a little
knot of scarlet cbeneiile—such was Miss
Eleanor Calhoun in the parlor.
“Tell me,” said the sseker for informa
tion, “when did you first think of going
'upon tho stage ? ”
“Oh, I don’t know. I commenced the
study of elocution as an accomplishment,
for I had no thought then of ever becom
ing an actress, and I studied bard from
the pure love of study. My first teacher
was Miss M. D. McCbane, who Is the
teacher of elocution in the State Normal
School of California, and from her in
structions I learned a great deal. My
papa, Judge E. E. Calhoun, is well known
iu the State, and was very indulgent to
me, and at that time was in very easy
circumstances and allowed me to do
just about as I pleased. One day
£ overheard a gentleman say to
him: ‘Judge, that girl of yours ought
to have her talents cultivated to their
highest extent. She will make a splendid
actress.’ I had never thought of going up
on the stage before, but next morning at
the breakfast table I told papa tbat I bad
resolved to become an actress. _ He ac
quiesced in my decision after a little hesi
tation, and then I went to San Francisco
and placed myself under the care of Mrs.
Julia Melville, the mother of Miss Emily
Melville, who is well known East, l be
lieve. Mrs. Melville taught mo all I kuew
about acting before £ made my debut.”
“Where did you make your debut—that
is, in what theatre ?” asked the scribe
with a view of giving the little woman an
opportunity to take breath and at the same
time to put a peg in his mernoiy.
“At the opera hous.e in San Francisco,”
responded Miss Calhoun- “It is an im
mense building, and will seat 3,000
persons. I expected a good house on the oc
casion of ray debut, for I had a large num
ber of friends, but I had fio idea that the
house would bo packed as it was.’I played
Juliet, aud I was very warmly applauded
and recalled after every act.”
“What parts did you play in San Fran
cisco?”
“1 played Juliet, Julia in tho “Hunch
back,” Marianna in “The Wife,” aud
Margaret Elmore in “Love’s Sacrifice.”
“I remember reading that you had a
very flattering benefit there,” said the
news gatherer.
“Yes. Tho ovation was so unexpected
that I was wholly at a loss what to do or
say. After tho performance was over 1
was surprised, on coming out of the thea
tre, to find tho streets brilliantly lighted
and several of my friends met me and
esoorted mamma and myself to the car
riage. Mamma always goe3 with me;
and when I recognized that the horses had
been taken out and that I was being drawn
by people, I was so bewildered tbat I
could hardly converse with some of my
friends who walked along by the carriage,
saying aii sorts ot pleasant tilings. When
I arrived homo I found a band of music,
and cheers upon cheers were given for
me.”
“By the way,” 9aid the short-hander,
feeling his way gingerly, “I think I have
seen a statement to tbe effect that some
bonanza kiug, some ’Frisco millionaire,
had taken a deep interest in you, and was
ready and anxious to place his fortune at
your disposal, if necessary, to advance
your professional Interests. Is there any
truth in the statement ?”
“Not a word of truth in it,” responded
the successor of Neilson. “I have seen
tbat statement published, and it has given
me no little annoyance. While I have
tho honor to know a number of wealthy
gentlemen in San Francisco, who would
very probably aid me pecuniarily If I
should ask them. I have not done so,
nor has any one of them offered to assist
mo witli money. Furtunately, I am inti
mate with some ladies of wealth aud po
sition who have been very generous and
kind to me, and to whom I atn very grate
ful; but I am not under the protection,
guidance, or tutelage of any gentleman
excepting my manager, Mr. Ford.”
“Well, speaking of Mr. Ford, what are
your future plans? How long is your
engagement with Mr. Ford?”
“I am at present under contract with
him for some time, and am to travel
through the South, going possibly as far
as New Orleans. Then ho desires to be
come my manager for a term of ycais.”
“Shall yon return to Washington and
play here on your way. back from tho
South?”
“I don’t know,” said she; “I would liko
to, for I would bo glad to show bow I
have improved, for by that time I shall
show improvement. You know this is
the first city in which I have acted in the
East, and I have been so very kindly
treated that I am deeply touched. So I
would like to come back again, but it will
depend upon Mr. Ford.”
Wishing tho plucky little woman tho
inoBt complete and gratifying success,
and thanking her for the pleasant con

Lectures Before the Christ Church
Build—Oue Phase el tbe Bltumtieu
in the New Booth
Mr. A. Iverson Branham appeared before
the guild of Christ church and their friends
lost evening as a lecturer upon the subject
announced at the beginning of this article.
The lecture, which lasted an hoar, was lis
tened to with the utmost attention and
interest. The speaker has a fine delivery
and distinct articulation. The subject was
chosen in place of the one previously an
nounced.
The speaker began with a comment upon
tho revolution of enterprise, “quiet
and far-reaching,” which was in in
augurated in 18G5. After defining
tho word, which “belongs almost ex
clusively to the 'English speaking people,”
and illustrating what it had accomplished
he showed how our peculiar institutions had
deadened the South until slavery was extin
guished. He did this without reflecting up
on the fame and glory of onr section. “In
war they have gained undying fame. In
peace they have lent their intellect and
statesmanship to the construction of a sys
tem of government unequalled by any oth
er. Among them religion has been kept
pure, and undefiled. They are the brightest
exponents of all those traits of character
which make chivalrous men and vir
tuous women.”
The government of the United States
would not have existed twenty years bat for
tho South. Her policy baa ever been con
servative, while the New England section
lias been rash and grasping. Even no w tho
South struggles for the government as our
fathers made it against those who would
TOflVn it wliat our fathers never intended.
The South must preserve the typo of tho
true American from extinction. The South
has exoelled the North in everything ex
cept enterprise. Wo never knew tho need
of internal development previous to 1805.
Onr policy was against enterprise. It was
a policy that has left us fifty years behind
our neighboE. The speaker differed with
those who paseively state that our lack of
development, onr lack of cotton mills and
manufactures is the result of the war and'
are satisfied to let it remain so. These peo
ple he pronounced a “curse upon the^oun-
try,” a passive hindrance to the progress of
tho South.” The cause of this he assigned
to the general improvidence of the people ;
the amount of foodnecessary/or the South
ern whites and their necessary (?) negro
servants wonld ran a Yankee hotel. In de
fining the relative positions of tho North
and South, he shewed how the great cities,
railways, manufactories, publishing houses
and money centres were in the North.
They were there by enterprise. Tho enter
prise of the North has made ns a tribute-
paying nation. Onr very cotton money
leaves ns in the summer to bo returned
again only for a time when the next crop
comes in.
Mr. Branham, after illustratring the
power of a teacher, placed tho remedy for
all this want of enterprise in the public
schools, and criticised tho small appropria
tions made for the employment of teachers,
os well as those who are opposed to any
appropriation. This lino was followed to
some length.
Onr failure to secure immigrants camo
next, and those who were opposed to or lax in
their efforts to bring immigrants here were
dealt with. The South, ho thought, had too
long preferred to control the government
than to develop itsolf. It was not the loss
of any battle, or onr failure to adopt any
political measure, that gave the North
supremacy; it was the North’s unlimited
resources. He doubted if onr leaders, or
the people themselves, properly under
stood the revolution now taking
place. Surely if they did they
wonld work with more determination. His
strongest wish was the elevation of that
* ‘splendid race, tho Southern people.” One
of the first stops towards success is to rid
ourselves of old fogies, who with mule-like
obstinacy oppose every effort toward prog
ress. There are three classes of these in tho
South, each of which exercises an influence
equally baleful.
“The first class is composed of those who
object to innovations bocanse people got
along without them before tho war. They
are the ‘conservatives,’ who, because their
fathers did so, pass along the rough, rocky
road over the hill rather than nso the
smooth, level road that winds around its
base. That word, ‘conservative,’ when
applied to the6e aged fossils, should have
tho meaning which is sometimes given it
in other latitudes. In other latitudes the
word is variously interpreted ‘stubborn
ness,’and ‘laziness,’ and is even sometimes
used interchangeably with the word which
describes a certain class of beings found in
asylums for the insane. These paralyzed
remains of on antique ago cry ‘humbug!’
whenever a new idea is advanced. They
are tho men who cry ‘retrenchment and
reform,’ which in other people’s vocabu
laries, mean‘retardation and fog.’ There
is something pathetic in the inability of
these old fogies to comprehend the
clianges of the last twenty years; bnt
fathers must give way tontility, and the
old fogies, like tho ‘Heathen Chinee,’
‘must go.”
The second class is composed of those
who admit tho necessity of enterprise, bnt
never do anything; the third, of those who
spend their time in ‘‘dreamy, unprofitable
musings upon tho past,” and ore opposed
to a change of any kind.
“There are no common men among this
class of old fogies. They are all captains,
or colonel*, or generals, or esquires, or
judges. They wrap themselves in the thick
folds of the mantle of self-grntnlation, and
refuse to believe that there is possibly any
higher order of humanity than themselves.
With this class of old fogies, all Southern
appertaining*, from tho silly twaddle of
the penny-a-liner to the last moonshine
theory of some addle-brained Mulberry
Sellers, are great, grand and glorious.
They prefer ‘Dixie Then,’ with its easy,
unprogressive life, to the ‘Dixie Now,’
with its hard life and beginning progress.
They are members of the Starbottle fami
ly; and, like its most brilliant exponent,
Colonel Starbottle, whom Bret Harte has
made famous, they prefer to retain, in pov
erty, their grandioee methods, rather than
take rank among tho busy workers of the
present. The Starbottles are among the sad
dest relics of the war, and for their own
sokes, and for the sake of their posterity, I
wish that they may speedily disappear.”
The South must rid itself of tho idea
that it is an agricultural country only. It
has facilities for stimulating industries of
every kind, and industries that stimulate.
Tiie most important step is the instilling
into tho young lessons of enterprise and
progress.
The South is not growing poorer. It is
not growing rich rapidly. It is yet but re
covering from its losses. She will never
become rich until the new spirit is felt
everywherqin her borders. The hope of
the country is in her young men. They
have got to faoe and overcome the half
civilized race growing up beside them.
Only by enterprise can we keep the suprem
acy. With an eloquent address to the
young men of the South, the lecture closed.
We have but given a faint outline of one
of the moat valuable lessons we have ever
read. It is to be regretted that our
crowded ootumns would not hold it corn-
complete.
