A Bridal Couple
Loodoo Telegraph.
A newly married pair, who ar
rived on their honeymoon trip a*, a
celebrated Scotch watering place
when accommodation was at a pre
mium, had a mattress spread for them
by a compassionate inn keeper in
one of his bathroom*. In the mid
dle of the night the house was
aronsed by loud shrieks proceeding
from the nuptial chamber. What
was the matter? Well, this: The
jroang bride, wishing lo ring for a
servanr, had cough* hold of what she
supposed lo be a bell rope nml pulled
it sharply. Unhappily for her and
her spouse it was the cord of the
shower bath over he nl, and forth
with down plunged such a deluge
Of cold waferas would throw a damp
er upon the most devoted honey-
making eooples. Her husband, in
dismay, caught frantically at an
other cord on his side of the extem
porised couch, but the only response
waa an equally liberal deluge of
water, this lime nearly (toiling hot.
The unhappy pair then scream* d in
uuisou. When ih* -ervaui* came
they found the floor of the room
flooded with water, an I the wife was

The Dawson Joarnal has long
been one of the very best papcis in
Georgia, hut there l.as Wen a

bom for an editor, and it is a pity lie
did not find it out years ago.
As an evidence of the quantity of
Kainit that will be used in Georgia
this year, the Dawson Journal says it
had a letter from an importer of this
article a few days since stating that,
in one week’s time, ho had had de
mands fur one thousand ton* more
than he could aapply. It is difficult
to obtain, now, at any price.

it is understood that Ed. Cox. after

among his friends, will return to Dade

given him a permanent and respon

will probably be a candidate for Chief
Keeper of the Penitentiary next.
Does the railroad Commi-sion have
any control over the schedules of
railroads? The irregularity of trains
is getting to he a source o! no little
trouble and inconvenience to the pub
lic in some parts of the State, and
what we want to know is, whether the
Commission has the right and the
power to require the railroads to he
prompt. Will the Atlanta Consti
tution please rise up and tell us ?
List Sunday’s Constitution was an
unusually attractive and readable
paper. Their two X'iW’ York corres
pondents, -Buzz and Bounce,’' wore
especially spicy and entertaining.
Wonder if this enterprising journal
could not enlarge its sphere a little,
and take in the gossip of several more
of oar metropolitan cities in the same
way. We see no difficulty in the
world iu the way. Provincial readers
won't know the difference.
JiradstrctVs estimate that the cot
ton crop will not exceed 6,500,0 0
hales, is said lo have caused console
able excitement in most of the cotton
shipping cities. At Galveston they
are offering bets that the crop will
exceed those figures, and in Xew
Orleans wagers that the maximum
will not be below 6,860,000 bales finds
no fakers. The Boston Post’s repre
sentative. who traveled through the
cotton-growing sections of.the South
in October, reported that the crop
would sorely be as large as 1880 81,
which was over 6,500.000 bales, and
probably would amount to 7,000,000
bales. It remains to be seen which
of these estimates is likely to be rea
lized.

which equally symbolized the chari
ly of tho founders and the trustees.
Hour fitting, then, the comtnera-
tion of the one hundred and fiftieth
birthday of this once feeble colony
but now prosperous Stato, a colony
founded in such pnro motives ana
a State crowned with such an hon
orable career. Xor should this
celebration he confined to the inhab
itants of this city whose foundation
was’tbcn laid. Savannah was but the
beginning of Georgia, and, it equal
ly becomes the citizens of every
part of this broad State to unite with
the people of Savannah in gather
ing around the cradle of both city
and commonwealth. Sentiments of
reverence for our ancestry, of pride
in our colonial history, nn*d of won
der at our prosperous growth,
should prompt us to recall our fee
ble beginnings and make us strive
to perpetuate the principles of
“Wisdun, Justice and Moderation”
that underlie our polity.
Let it be that this colony and its
increase populated Savannah and the
low country, and the Middle and
Northern Georgia rather grew out of
independent settlements at different
dates from sister aolonisa, still tha
first distinct English settlement on
the soiLof Georgia, growing out of
a patent defining its limits and its
name, is in rea'ity the nucleus of our
whole State. Nor could it be other
wise than that the common trials and
sacrifices of the War of the Revolu
tion should have cemented Georgia’s
population In one, and its growth for
the century afterwards tinder one
government, with united interests
and harmonious ends, should have
resulted in as substantial unity as
though all had sprang from one
liivc.
With such a history, then iu com
mon, and with such sentiments of
honorable memory and grateful
pride. Savannah greets the people ol
every country, city, town and ham
let in Gcorgis, and cordially iuvites
them to join with her own in com
memorating the first foundation* of
our prosperous State; in recalling
the noble motives that suggested its
planting, and tho wise, just and mod
erate principles that have ever ruled
its polity; in remembering tho vir
tues of its gallant founder, and his
labors and sacrifices for its success,
and in drawing thcreform lessons of
patriotism and pride in our State.
We look to a free intercourse with
our brethren of ovory section as a
source of social pleasure, of political
benefit and of httsinoss profit, and we
trust that this general gathering
around the altar of Oglethorpe^
planting, may build up, if possible, a
higher respect, a more confiding trust
and a warmer friendship between all
grades of society and all sections of
tho State, than even now exist

THK ilRIV SMITH.
Desalt of the Cultivation or the
Grain and the Development or
Iron and Coal Interests.
New York Jimrml of Commerce.
I think but a small proportion of
our people to-day realize the fact
that the South is about to enter a
stage o-' unusual prosperity. She
never was as rich in corn, wheat and
cotton as she is to-day. I make
these broad statements not from
hearsay, not exclusively as a result
ot the careful and painstaking in
quiries I have made during the
growing season, hut as the result of
a journey just made. Sulllcc It to
say that I found tny-clf in Louis-
villo on a Wednesday morning iu
November. That city is now enjoy-
ing a greater degree of prosperity
than at any time since tho war. The
line crop of winter wheat of Ten
nessee and Kentucky was very large
ly marketed early in the season.
Tho corn crop of the South was mov
ing, and tho cotton and tobacco
ticurly ready to follow. From Lou
isville to Nashville, by wav of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, is
it trip inadu over one of the finest
roads in tills country, stone ballast
ed, a smooth track and powerful en
gines.
Tho freight of this road is heavy
and getting much larger, and the
passenger traffic all that could he
desired. When our people travel
the country is prosperous. From
Nashville to Chaltauoogn is a grand
ride—tho road bed as solid as rock,
the scenery historic, and as beauti
ful as I have yet seen in nuy portion
of our country this side of the Rocky
Mountains. At Chattanooga there is
every evidence that the South has
raised large crops—first, in the ac
tivity of the trade of the city; sec
ondly, in the numerous buildings
going up; nud, thirdly, Iu the rapid
increase of all the railroad traffic
with centres at Louisville. It was
at this point that I saw and became
familiar with the causes of all the
prosperity of this thriving place. It
is here that iron ore and coat are
found in inexhaustible quantifies.
Hero the Tcuucsseo river for hun
dreds of miles pours iuto this city
her crops of corn and cotton. The
corn crop of the South is an anomaly.
The planters were forced last season
to be very large buyers of Western
corn at famine prices. Not wishing
togo through a similar experience
tho present year, they planted on
unusually large acreage of corn in
every Southern State. As a result
Kentucky, Tcuucssee, Alabama and
Georgia have more coru than they
need for their own wants. At pres
ent they aro shipping largely to
Louisville, Cincinnati ana New
York. Mow long this condition will
last is very uncertain, and what will
become of the surplus is also a point
upon which might be Mid. The
South is not used to handling or
taking care of a crop of corn, and It
ia more than probable that a very
large quantity will go to waste.
The stage of water in the Tennessee
river is low, and is much against
the movement of coru. The South
will toko but little corn from the
North during 1882 or 1883.
Incorrect Tax Returns.
A correspondent of the Savannah
News is under the impression that a
great deal of property in this State
pays no taxes, tie says:
To ono who has given any thought
as to the wealth of the State, the ag
gregate value of property ns return,
ed is far from correct. A fair valua
tion of the taxable property of the
State, if given in, would ba not less
than $320,000,000. Railroad proper
ty is given in at only $18,729,427.
Could it be bjught for double that
amount to-morrow ? Watches, jew
elry and silverware arc given in at
$1,183,327. There are nearly half a
million of dollars worth of such in
Savannah alone, certainly a quarter
of a million. What are needed at
this time are tax assessors for.cvery
county iu the State. Capital invest
ed in iniuing is given in at only
$127,622, when there arc several
companies in Upper Georgia that
have as large an amount invested in
one mine—gold mining especially
We have been told that several mil
lions of dollars aro invested in min
ing. If free from taxation it should
he so stated. Georgia had in 18G0
$300 827,922 of taxable property, in
dependent of slaves with a total
population of only 1,057,2S6. She
now has a population of 1,512,180,
more railroads, larger cities, more
farms, morn factories and more busi
ness every way, and yet we arc told
by the tax returns made that she lias
"•lily n taxable property of $287,249,-
102, The present Legislature should
enact a law to appoint tax assessors,
and then the. real wealth of the
Slate would approximate to some
thing like truth and its real value.
