WHY NOT?
All tilt* papers in the State uot in
tnM't "f Mr. Stephens are severely
criticized by the Stephens journals
I, a- expressing their opinions as to
who shall bo Georgia's next Govern
or, claiming that we should have wait
ed until after the nomination. Being
one of that number we rise to ex
plain. In doing so, we ask onr es-
Itjeiiiud contemporaries, when will the
proper time come for us to speak?
There is but one party in Georgia and
that is the Democratic party—we
mean but oue that can elect a Gov
ernor. The primary election then, or
nomination rather, is the only oue in
which any are interested, for the nom
inee is virtually Governor. We suy,
we know of no time more appropriate
then than right now to discuss candi
dates. We have nothing to say
against any of tin- numerous candi
dates now before the people. We will
cheerfully support any one of them
that may be nominated, but theu that
does uot make them our choice.

Craps, Railroads, Brunswick and
Politics.
Mabietta, Juue 12,1882.
Mr. Editor: We had on yesterday
onr first warm day, but rained in the
evening' and to-day is as pleasant as
could be desired. The wheat is all
harvested, aud a fine crop produced—
the best, they say, in twenty years.—
There are somo complaints abont the
stand of cotton, but all 1 have seen is
as early as usual, aud corn never
looked finor. Tim oats have rusted
to some extent, but so many were
sown they will be abundant.
We hear the whistle of the Atlanta
and Horae Railroad every day, and it
is thought that in less thau ninety
days the trains will be runuing
through from Brunswick to Rome.—
Surely no railroad in Georgia has
been built with such rapidity, and I
think the development to follow will
be even more rapid. If no great na
tional calamities befall us, I think the
progress of our State for the next
twenty years will be marvelous, and
if I were to tell you what I think
about Brunswick you would not be
lieve me any more than you did when
I published in your paper {before it
was sold) that the M. A B. Ruiltoad
was worth five millions of dollars. I
was opposed to the sale, but now. un

JOHN PETER PILLICOBBY
Writes from a Mud House in New
Mexico in Rezard to Country,
Soenery, Beal’s, Indians
and Other Matters.
Stanton, New Mexico, June 6,1882.
Mr. Editor: It was an unexpected
transfer from the delightful climate
of our city by the sea to an altitude
of over eight thousand feet, so many
miles away from my pleasant home
among the grand old trees. I am sit
ting by a fire of stunted and crooked
wood, which is a comfort in this cold
mountain air. This fuel is brought
in for sale, packed on tho back of the
queer, gentle, patient little animal
called the burro, value $15 for n prime
oue. I am writing to you in a com
fortable house built of mud, roof and
all, in the walls of which very small
mice in great numbers have taken up
their abode—not at ufl annoying, ou-
ly when they are in a frolic in the
canvas that covers the ceiling.
I inn greatly interested in the towns
or communities of the prairie dogs.—
They are first seen in vVest Kansas,
and all through this section. Hera
they live in vast numbers. A short
walk will place me in ouo of tb<‘ir
settlements. The ground tn every di
rection is covered with their hills, on
the top of which is the ontrnnee to
I their dwellings, fur beneath the snr-
j face of the ground. They look very
I odd and very saucy, barking at and
i watching you intently until within a
| few feet; wln-ii they disappear, head-
'first, like ^ flash. T have seen no
1 snakes, but quantities ot' horned frogs
and lizzards; no mosquitoes or ileus,
! and hilt fe v flies.
! But what i happy hunting ground
' this would prove for some of my
I sporting friends in Brunswick! Only
! eight miles from my door is the grand
old Cnpitan mountain. In the clear
atmosphere one would fancy that a
half-hour’s walk would bring you to
its base. It is accessible on foot or
mule, with a top surface in some parts
five miles wide, covered- with timber
of smali growth, literally tilled in its
different localities with the cinnamon,
grizzly and black bear, Mexican lion,
wild eats, blank and whits.-tailed deer,
wolves, turkeys in droves of fifty to a
hundred, mule eared rabbits and
smaller game without limit. I ean al
most fancy my friend, Dr. Blain, with j 0 f t) 1(! country when he had hoi
his dogs ami gun, with oue of tho | t jio old fellow’s tongue.
afraid of our hair being removed
without our consent, but thought it
better to be on the safe side. They
say we become accustomed to any
thing. My first night on n blanket,
some twenty-five miles from any hab
Ration, was uot with a perfect feeling
of security, but I was soon content
with my Gipsey life, and really en
joyed it, but as I neared the Indian
country I anticipated and looked for
the red-skin on every hill-top. We
would have stood a poor chance, with
only threo revolvers, and one of them
without cartridges.
The drives in this vicinity are sim
ply grand. The roads, the finest I
ever saw, natural or worked, wind in
and through the mountains, the views
constantly changing. Although anx
ious to be again with my family, I
shall leave Fort Stanton with sincere
regret. My coming here with letters
from a high army official in Washing
ton to the cotmuauder of this post
placed mo immediately in social in
tercourse with the officers and ladies
of the garrison, and the courtesy and
kindness extended has made my SO'
journ of a month here most agreeable.
Brunswick has her fish stories, but
I will give you a bear story. A Mex
ican has been at work for me the past
few days, fearfully scarred nml badly
crippled. I yesterday obtained from,
him bis account of au old cinnamon
bear on Capitan mountain. Ho was
huutiug there with a companion
when suddenly the old follow came
upon them. They discharged their
gnus, but oiily wounded him, when
lie attacked this man. His first
stroke tore open his face from just
below the eye to his jaw-boue open
into his month; his next wound was
the half of his scalp torn oft', and his
chin split open, and his thighs and
lower limbs fearfully torn. He fell,
with tho bear over him, and, seeing
his opportunity, grasped the bear’s
tougue, which so choked and bewil
dered the animal that his companion
plucked up his courage and killed the
boar with his knife. He was brought
to this post to die, but a Mexican is
hard to kill, so lie lives, bnt will prob
ably keep clear of Capitan. My
vouchers for this bear engagement
ire the animal’s skin and the man's
fearful sears. I was not in this part

State are even now canvassing against
Mr. Stephens as though liu were a
candidate of uu antagonistic party,
and 1 had hoped that Glynn, with her

est thinking men ot this section that
if Mr. Stephens is nominated the
Democratic party will bo more solid

pecially in the Gn at West, where he
is exceedingly popular—thau any

uot nominated, 1 believe there will be
the warmest contest between Demo
crats wo have ever had in Georgia.—
That is the reason I do uot wish to
see the great interest of Brunswick
mixed up iu polities, and taking sides
with parties, which uiay effect untold
injury. The lust Gubernatorial con
vention broke up in a row, and this
excitement beforehand about candi

PoBTLASJL), June 10— The average
Republican majority of the State is
1,800? M. C. George, for Congress,
will have about 3,000 majority in the
i trusty old frontiorinon for a guide, j
i who are as gonial and companionable

I and mannered, most formidable in |
I appearance, as they are in truth
armed to the teeth, and know full
well just how to use their weapons. I
think a night’s camp on this grand
old Capitan mountain, with a two
day’s hunt, would make tho Doctor
quit his practice and resign his office
I of Port, Physician, and make his
home, at least for,a time, in New
Mexico.
Phis post, said to bo the most beau
tiful in the country, surrounded us it
is by immense hills and ranges of
magnificent mountains, with the clear,
cold water of the pretty river Bonita
meandering around it, shining in the
constant sunlight. It only rains here
from July to October, then iu show
ers. Blanca mouutaiu, eight thou
sand feet above, with its suow-capped
peaks glittering, aud its canons and
ravines filled with snow and ice to tho
depth of over one hundred feet, feeds I
entirely tho Bonita river, which is, iu |
truth, ice water. My friend Haywood
would have no chance here. The!
river, at this season, is running with i
great force.
The Indians on this reservation are
in rather a demoralized stato, and ru
mors of their starting off on the war-
path are numerous, but, as I intend
i leaving in a few days, I hope to bo
out of the country before they leave
[ the reservation.
| A few days since, in company with
! two officers of the garrison, I was up
on the slope of Blanca mountain,
I.some fifteen miles drive, in an ambu
lance, with four of the finest mules I
j ever saw. An old hunter aud trap
per. with his dogs, came up to us.—
We offered the old fellow part of onr
lunch and a drink of good whiskey.
Ho partook moderately of the first
and freely of tlie latter. We werh
greatly entertained by the events he
rclatod of his life amoug these snow-
clad mountains, having killed forty-
ono bears this year, and over two
hundred and twenty deer, not to say
anything of wild-cats, wolves, Mexi
can lions, otc., in lesser numbers. He
wanted to send mo to the post a bear
and lion skin which ho has cur£d in
his cabiu, but my small trunk and
heavy coat would not allow me to a
cept.
Not much respect for law here.

The Griffin Daily New in a very
timely article on the proper handling
of the fruit crop of Georgia, says: "I;
is now apparent that tho entire peach
crop of Georgia cannot be marketed
profitably- Thousands of bushels
have been sold at tho most profitable
figures and very much more will bo
sold. As the carrying facilities are
improved year after year, and new
and ampler markets are reached at
cheaper rates, a longer and larger pro
portion of the fruit can be retailed
from the fruit stands. While there U
a glut of Georgia peaches in one mar
ket there are scores of other markets
in which they would bring fancy prj.
ces if they could only be had. Wo
shall, therefore, continue to insist
the railroads and carrying companies
giving better facilities, and if vve cat,
only see as much accomplished next
year as has been done this year, the
problem of transporting fruit will
have been nearly solved. In th, ;
mean time it is important that the
present crop shall be fully utilized If
it cannot bo marketed as green fruit,
it should bo canned or dried. Iu <’
ther of these shapes it will command
world-wide markets and good prices
As dried fruit or canned, it can bo
shipped at the lowest freight rates,
and if there is a glut in tho market,
can be stored until the glut is over.
Last year, a remarkably poor frutt
year, over $10,000 of, good money
went into Griffin alone for dried fruit
That plucky little city should get no
less than $100,000 for dried peaches
this year. Georgia is less than four
hundred miles from the centre of pop
ulation of the country, and it is folk
to say that, in oue shape or other, w!
cannot market profitably our frith
crop. California is over 3,000 tnilm-
from the centre of population, and yet
she realizes more from her fruit crop
than she does from her wheat.”
Talmage concludes a recent sermon
in tho following dramatic style:
“I see before me a great theatre.
It is the theafi’" of the Judgment
scene—the last. day. For stage—1.„
rocking earth. Enter lords, duke-
princes, clowns, beggars. No sword
no tinsol, no crown. For footlights
tho kindling flames of a world. Fu;
orchestra—the trumpets that wak-
the dead. For galleries— the clouds
with angel spectators. Forcurtain-
tbe heavens rolled together as a scroll
For applauso tho clapping hands of I
the sea. For tragedy —tlie doom of
the destroyed. For farce—those the
tried to serve God and serve sin ,i;
the same time. For the last scene
the fifth act—the tramp of nations t
receive their doom - some to the rigid |
and some to tho left.”
