FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23,1883.
The Worth Star complain* of Ihe
fearfully bad condition of the roads
in Worth, pirticnlarly those traversed
by the turpentine wagons. The
- amendment of the road laws, or more
properly the enactment of a sufficient
road law, is becoming a frequent
topic of suggestive comment by the
. .'Georgia press of late.
. It is estimated that over one million
. orange trees in Orange connty, Flori
da, will come into bearing thia year.
And stiil there is no apparent danger
of overproduction. Upon the con
trary, Florida oranges are in greater
demand than they were ten years ago,
and bring better prices in all the
Northern markets. The same is true
of the Georgia watermelon.
Rebdell has turned state’s evidence
against his accomplices, the star-
rooters, and Counsellor Carey has
done the same thing in Dublin in the
case of the Phoenix Park assassins of
Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary
Bnrke. The chances for'’the latter
appear to be slim, but this is too free
a country to venture a prediction as to
the fate of the star-route thieves.
The Advance of the Watermelon.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat,
the leading and most influential paper
of the Southwest, foreseeing the many
advantages that would accrue to New
Orleana from the early opening of the
Flint to navigation, as well as the
feasibility of the enterprise if ade
quately aided by the general Govern
ment, very quickly caught hold of the
idea promolgated by the News and
Advebtiseb in a number of its late
issues on the subject, and came out
several weeks ago with a strong en
dorsement of the measure. The same
vigilant journal, in view of the great
revolution soon lo be wronght
throughout Southwest Georgia and
other portions of the Sooth by diversi
fied farming, in last Thursday’s issne,
published an editorial on the subject
of the watermelon, making the figures
and statistics given by the News and
Advertisers representative at the re
cent Quitman convention of track farm
ers, the basis of the same. We pub
lish the article in another column,
and call attention to it
THICK PARKING.
Nora About the Watermelon.
The News and Advebtiseb adds its
endorsement to the following from
the Baiubridgc Democrat. Mr. Tur
ner might exert himself to some ad
vantnge in this direction:
“If Mr. Turier will only secure the
appropriation of $75,000 to $100,000 for
the improvement of the Flint his re
turn to Congress will lie assured. The
Secretary of ihe Treasury having made
this recommendation we see no good
reason why he cannot succeed, if he
will try.”
Tire News and Advertiser ackowl-
edges the receipt of a pamphlet
from the Hon. Olin Welborn, M. C.
from Texas, containing his beautiful
and appropriate eulogy on the Hon.
B. H. Hill, delivered in the House of
Representatives Jan. 23, 1883. The
death of Mr. Hill elicited a number of
nblest and most noteworthy tributes
the io both Houses that were ever paid
to the memory of an American states
man, and none of them can be said
to surpass the present one in felicity of
expression and sentiment
Wi have received from the Hon. J.
T. Henderson, Commissioner of Agri
culture, circulars No. 35 and 38 from
the Department, the first entitled “Re
sults of Boil tests of chemical fertili
zers for 1882,” and the other being a
statement of “Analyses and commer
cial values of commercial fertilizers
and chemicals,’’ as inspected, analyzed
and admited to sale in Georgia to the
first of January, 1883, under the super
vision of the Commissioner of Agricult-
ture. Having one or two copies of
the above on hand we will give them
to any one who desires to peruse
them.
Sydney Smith’s celebrated mot that
it required a surgical operation to get
a joke into a Scotch understanding
would be lilerarily applicable to our
contemporary, the grave, dignified and
stately Savannah Morning Mews, if
the surmise of the Atlanta Constitu
tion ho correct, that that paper took a
serious view of the little paragraph in
our columns about Atlanta's supposed
case of spleen over Savannah’s Sesqui-
Centennial. Wo can sec no such evi
dence of mental obliquity, however-
in the mere quotation of the para
graph by the Mews without comment;
and not'ung to justify the nervous ap
prehension of the Constitution.
We have received No. 1 Vol. I. of
the Georgia Major, the new paper
just started in Atlanta by Messrs Small
& Williams. Ii is an eight page paper
just the size of the Texas Sftings,
and is neatly and characteristically
gotten up. The printing and illustra
tions aro in fact unusually good, and
the paper promises to occupy a new
aud promising field in Georgia journal
ism somewhat similar to that filled by
the Siftings out West. The first issue
is a most promising one, and laises ex
pectations of a successful and brilliant
future. The field is ample and the
material abundant, and Messrs. Small
& Williams appear to he the fit and
proper pioneers.
Gov. Stephens, while out riding in
Savannah, is reported to have said
that he considered Savannah ladies the
handsomest in Georgia.—Augusta
Chronicle.
We don't belitve the Governor said
it. He might have assented to some
snch expression in the presence of one
or more of Savannah’s beauties; (what
old bachelor could have dissented un
der such circumstances?) but Govern •
or Stephens is too astute »»*1 experi
enced a politician to have voluntarily
given himself away in any snch un
guarded expression as is attributed to
him in the above. The result of any
such folly upon his part would be to
have all the spinsters ,'n the State,
outside of Savannah, allude to him on
every occasion as “that horrid old
thing.’’ Only think of il!
Junior Senator Colquitt is out on
a starring tour through the provinces
of tlie great West. The first time, we
believe, he lias ever essayed his ama
teur talent in that direction. His
repertoire is said to consist of two
comedies, one entiled “Georgia and the
South,’’ the other “Temperance.’’ It
was fondly hoped that business or
something else would keep the Sena
tor at home after his gubernatorial
term expired. The nomadic habits
he acquired then, however, appear to
cling to him. It is not stat
ed under whose management he
travels. The old combination doubt
less have him still in charge, and have
merely sent him out West by way of
diversion. His ability to amuse an
average hoosier audience for a little
while was thought worth testing.
At any rate tie could do no harm there.
The Times-Democrat acknowl
edges the receipt of a compendium of
the United States .census, and alter
some pertinent comments on the dila
tory and tardy publication of the
work, by which the greatest portion
of its figures and statistics are render
ed altogether valuless and misleading,
concludes as follows: “Otherwise,
this eensus is the most complete ever
issued by any government It covers
158 topics, giving full statistics of the
population, agriculture, manufactures,
power used in manufactures, miuing,
railroad, steam craft, canals, telegraph,
telephones, occupations, fishery, for-
eign parentage, areas, dwellings and
families, life insurance, fire and marine
insurance, valuation and taxation, in
debtedness, newspapers and periodi
cals, public schools and illiteracy, and
the defective, depending and delin
quent classes of the country; indeed, a
thorough industrial and social history
of the United States, as far ss figures
can give it”
TnE Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger very pointedly and correctly
siys:
“OuriAlbanv and Bainbridge contem
poraries are propci ly solicitous tor
the improvement of the Flint river.
It ought to be improved in the inter
est of the people of the whole State.
It is a duty which we think rightfully
devolves upon the State; and it was
a miserable, short-sighted policy
which led the framers of our consti
tution to seal the doors of the States
Treasury against appropriations for
such purposes. The State should
take care of their own rivers.’’
The proper way to correct this and
a hundred other defects and short
comings of the miserable instrbment
we are trying to ran the State under,
is for oar able contemporary to raise
its voice in concert with that of sev
eral other leading jonrnals in the
Stale in favor of another constitutional
convention. It would be far less ex
pensive and burdensom to do this
than to attempt to effect the same ob
ject by amendments. The conven
tion of 1877 was a sort of State agri
cultural society affair, having about
the same representative relation
to the people who elected them, as the
latter concern bears to the farmers of
Georgia. They overthrew what time
and judicial interpretation had sue
ceeded in making an excellent consti.
tution, and substituted another imper
fect aud half visionary one in its place.
The Legislature should provide for the
calling of another, and the people
should see to the election of a set of
practical representative delegates to
it who will nut consider themselves
the amanuenses of General Toombs
and Mr. Stephens in drafting it.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal, speaking
of Emory Speci’s appointment to the
Uuited States District Attorneyship,
says:
“From the comments of the leading
Democratic and Republican journals,
we are convinced that the appoint
ment of Hon. Emory Speer as United
States Attorney for the Northern Dis
trict of Georgia will give general satis
faction.’’
We have seen a number of these
same comments, but cannot say that
they incline us to view the appoint
ment with favor. Mr. Emory Speer
was very successful as a politician;
and doubless in a fair open field, aud
a rough and tumble scramble, such as
he engaged in with competitors neither
better nor worse than himself, he was
entitled to all Ihe honors and advun-
■ages he achieved. But when it comes
to singling out a politician for civic
positions of high trust and responsi
bility, merely because ho was a
blatant and successful polilician, we
raise our voice against both the princi
pie and the precedent. There are
hundreds of able aud astute and incor
ruptible lawyers in Georgia, and many
of them in Mr. Speer's own district,
whom everybody will admit to be far
better qualified in every way than the
young man from the Ninth for this
important position. This practice of
retiring disappointed aud ambitious
politicians from places where they
could do little harm, if lio good, by
foisting them upon the people in posi
tions of trust and responsibility, where
their possibilities for harm are mani
fold, merely because the people have
rejected them, is the curse of our pol
itics, both State and National. When
the people have discarded a man in
one capacity he should not be set back
over them In another and more im
portant one, over the heads of hun
dreds of his betters and superiors, and
moie particularly when the qualities
and traits displayed in the one capacity
amount to a very generally admitted
disqualification for the new duties he
is called upou to discharge in the
ether. It may comport with strict
partisanship so to do, but not with Re
publican ideas and methods.

The Montgomery Advertiser of Sun
day publishes the report of the com
mittee that investigated Vincent’s de
falcation. It does not charge the
amount of the defalcation as heretofore
announced. Vincent’s transactions
through the house of Fix’d Wolffe were
conducted in his own name and not as
treasurer. They amounted to $213,000,
out of which Vincent’s net loss was
$116,000—a result that ought to he a
warning to all Southern men against
dealing in cotton futures through N orth-
ern agencies. At the time of his flight
he held a contract for 6,500 bales with
Wolffe. One witness says a call for
more margin was usually given Vin
cent through the Capital Telephone.
Another witness, agent at Montgomery
forja New Orleans house, says $12,000
Was a small amount for Vincent’s trans
actions. Vincent’s gain with New
Orleans were $3,000 or $4,000, but got
$5,000 or $6,000 for some cause unex
plained. Vincent also dealt in corn
and pork. W hen Polk defaulted Ten
nessee Vincent told witness he wanted
to quit everything. He wanted his
contracts made good to his wife, and
the margin deposited to secure her in
ease anything happened to him.

The Sumter Republican entered
upon its thirtieth volume yesterday.
The paper was established in 1854 hv
its present editor, Col. C. W. Han
cock, and has been considered one of
the leading papers of the State ever
since the writer can remember. We
donbt if there is another joarnalist in
the State who has stood by one peo
ple so long as Col. Hancock has by
those of Americas andSamler county.
The Republican has ever been true
to their every interest, and has kept
.pace with the growth of Americas and
the development of Southwest Geor
gia. The News and Advebtiseb
congratulates Col. Harcock and the
Republican npon Ihe long and sucess-
ful voyage they have made to-gethcr,
aud wishes them “many happy returns.’
The News and Advebtiseb has had
a good deal to say of late abonl track
farming, and in an article pablisbed
after one of its staff had attended the
convention of the frait and vegetable
growers of South Georgia at Quitman,
about two weeks ago, furnished some
facts and figures showing conclusive
ly that the watermelon is one of the
most certain and profitable crops that
can be grown in Southern and South
west Georgia.
The article above referred to baa
bean given such a wide circulation by
the press and has awakened snch a
general interest upon the subject of
melon caltore that we have been in
duced to follow it farther, with the
view of encouraging track fanning in
Southwest Georgia and famishing as
much information as possible for those
who hsve become interested in the
melon, its mode of cultivation, ex
pense of transportation, market value,
eta To possess ourselves of this in
formation we have been to these who
hsve experimented extensively and
satisfactorily with the melon, and who
have been making its cnltivstion snd
shipment to the Northern markets
specialty for several years past. The
more we have learned from these
sources the more we are convinced
that the watermelon is destined to be
come a leading product along the line
of every railroad in Georgia Sooth of
Macon, and that it is not only one of
the most certain, bnt one of the most
profitable crops that can be made on
the sandy soil of this region.
A few farmers in Brooks and
Lowndes counties, along the line of
the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, were the first in the State to
engage in the cultivation of melons for
shipment to the Northern markets.
We find that all of these have made
money, and that they are gradually in
creasing their acreage hr melons every
year. Mr. W. R. Talley, of Brooks
county, shipped the first melons ever
grown along the line of theS. F. Sc W.
R’y for distant markets. At first he
experienced great difficulty in getting
his melons transported and sold. The
railroads were not prepared with
suitable cars for their shipment, snd
there was no very active demand for
them in the Northern markets. Fail
ing to get transportation for his entire
crop the second year, Mr. Talley went
to making watermelon syrup. The
syrup proved to be very palatable, and
Mr. Talley found sale for enough of it
to pay him out. Soon others began to
plant melons, and finally Ihe manage
ment of the S. F. Sc W. R’y, then the
“Atlantic & Gulf,’’ began to make
preparations for moving the crop.
Meantime large quantities of melons
and other vegetables were being ship
ped out over the same road from
Florida, and now an increase in the
market demands in the North
and Northwest became percep
tible. Year after year, as melons
from Florida and South Georgia were
introduced in the great cities of the
Norlh and Northwest as early as Ihe
latter part "of June and the first part
of July, the demand tor them increas
ed. Now there seems to be no end to
the demand. Last year buyers came
out from Louisville, Chicago,Indiana'
poiis and other cities and bought the
melons from the producers as fast as
they c iuld load them. So it would
seem that these melon growers of
South Georgia have created, a demand
for the Georgia watermelon, and that
the demand has increased until pur
chasers come to the fields after them.
Ten years ago such a thing as water
melons in June and July had never
been seen throughout the whole of
Yankeedom; bnt henceforth they will
be one of the standard luxuries of the
season,
We have heard it said by some that
now since so many were going into
melon coltnre there was danger of
overproduction—(hat the markets
would soon become glutted. This is
not the experience of those in South
ern Georgia who have been engaged in
the business for flv* or six year*, snd
who continue to increase their crops
every year. Upon the contrary, those
who can speak from experience any
that the only trouble lies in the mat
ter of transportation, and that the de
mand has kept ahead of the facilities
for shipping all the time. Until last
year the great trouble has been to get
the railroads to prepare themselves for
moving the crop promptly. The
preparations that were made last year
resulted from organization and co-op
eration upon the part of the melon
growers. This year they have acted
wisely, and the result will be
more satisfactory, we have no doubt.
At Ihe Quitman convention a commit
tee, consisting of one from each coun
ty represented, was appointed to visit
the managers of the S. F. & W. R’y,
the Central Railroad and the South
ern Express Company for the purpose
ot informing them that the demand
upon them and their connecting lines
for the transportation of melons the
coming season will be largely increas
ed, and to ask them to prepare them
selves accordingly. Seeing that the
melon crop is assuming such propor
tions, the railroads would of course
be in their own light if they were to
fail to prepare for its transportation,
and to cncoaragc the new industry in
every way possible. We learn that
both the S. F. & W. and Southwes
tern Railroads have promised to place
side tracks wherever they are needed
for the accommodation of melon grow
ers along their respective lines, and to
make ample preparation for promptly
moving the next crop.
So much, in a general way, mbont
“overproduction,” the growth of the
market, transportation facilities, etc.
A few salient points noted in an in
terview with Mr. W. B. Talley will
now extend this article as far as our
space will permit. As has already
been stated in the Nxws and Adveb
tiseb, Mr. Talley’s farm is at Dixie,
Brooks county, and, while not aban
doning his own, he has been employed
by Mr. J. R Forrester, of this city, to
superintend the planting and cultiva
tion of 100 acres in melons for him, on
the line of the Southwestern Railroad,
four miles North of here. In order to
condense as much as possible, we
shall not observe the nsnal forms of a
newspaper “interview,” hnt will pro
ceed at once to serve the facts
stated by Mr.
brevity.
He has been planting melons 7
years, and they haTe never failed to
“pay out’’ It is the only crop he
ever tried that he didn’t sometimes
lose money on.
One year he planted 18 acres in
melons, and insects killed ont the
vines on all but 6 acres. The melons
gathered from the 6 acres paid for the
cultivation of the whole crop.
MELONS FOB BOSS—A PREVENTIVE OF
Mr..Talley is a strong advocate of
the watermelon, and has experimented
with it in more ways than one. He
says that watermelons not only afford
excellent pasturage for hogs, but that
they are a good'prevenlive of cholera.
He ha3 never lost a hog from cholera
since he has been planting melons.
After all the marketable melons have
been gathered, he throws those that
are left into heaps, taking pains to
break every melon as he casts it into
the heap. - In a few days they begin to
soar and ferment, and the hogs
prefer them in this state to any
other. Each heap finally becomes a
mass of soar mash, and the hogs will
continue to eat it as long as there is a
piece of rind or a seed left. Melons
thrown together in this way will fur
nish all the food necessary for two
months or more. In fact, the hogs
Will not leave them far anything else,
and will fatten every day. Mr. Talley
Says that be is satisfied from expe
rience that it would pay every farmer
who raises hogs to plant a few acres in
watermelons for them every year.
He pastures his hogs on the remains
of his melon crop through the months
of August and September, and they
get as fat as they can roll. He does
not attempt to account, npon any
known theory or scientific principle,
for the fact that melons are a prevent
ive of cholera in hogs, but he says
that experience has satisfied him that
the same is a fact, nevertheless. At
one time the hog* of a neighbor of his,
separated from bis own only by a
erosa fence, nearly all died with the
cholera, while his never showed the
slightest symptom of the disease.
His hogs were pastured on watermel
ons, while his neighbor’s were not.
Finally Le gave his neighbor the priv
ilege of hauling as many melons as he
wanted to his sick hogs, and as soon
as the melons were given them the
deadly havoc of the cholera ceased.
Mr. Talley famishes other instances
which seem to clearly establish the
fact that the watermelon is not only a
good fattening lood for hogs, hat a
sure preventive of cholera.
A De*peiale3Xan.
Montgomery, Feb. 20.—A deliberate
attempt at suicide was made about 5
o’clock Suuday afternoon by a man
named Wm.Morrison, known as a pro- i
fessional horse trainer. Morrison went'
to the rear of Dexter fire engine room
in the brick building in the rear of
Goetter, Weil & Co.’s store and whetted
his knife on the hrick at the corner.
He then seated himself on a dry goods
box against the wall, and raking his
knife across his throat from left to right,
cut ugly gashes on each side, but for- I
tunately missed the jugular vein. He !
remained sitting on the box for some {
time afterward, the blood gushing out ’
from the wounds, and was finally re-. I
moved and provided for. The gashes |
in his neck were sewed op by a physi- j
cian, and he was doing well yesterday,
with the prospect of recovering soon.;
Morrison expn ssed regret afterward
that his knife was not sharper.
He is addicted to drink, bnt was not!
under the influence of liquor at the •
time. He suffers intensely at times i
from asthma, and as several who saw
and talked with him state, was suffering
much from a paroxysm at the time.
This is the only supposed cause of the
attempt made. Morrison -came here
from Columbus, Ga., about two weeks
ago, anti has occasionally come to this
city in the interest of bis calling as a
horse trainer, being reputed as the best
ever here.

Legal Abases.
From the Savannah Homing J/cm
we clip the following just criticism
from an authoritative source on one of
the greatest abuses that affects modern
civilization, and what is more, the
strictness it contains are more appli
cable to Georgia than probably to any
other State in the Union. If any other
part of the civilized world is more af
flicted with “the delays, uncertainties
and expenses of legal proceedings” than
here in Georgia, we have failed to note
it. One reason is, and probably the
main, one, that our courts are far be
hind the Legislative power in efforts
looking to reform of legal proceedings.
The election or appointment of politi
cians forjudges is another and a seri
ous one. Georgia has a long road to
travel yet before she arrives any where
near the goal attained even by some few
of her sister States in the mode of ad
ministering the law:
In his address at the annual meeting
of the Illinois State Bar Association last
month, Mr. Charles C. Bonuey, Presi
dent of the association, made this em
phatic and manly declaration: “The
greatest obstacles in the way of pros
perity of the legal profession; the most
serious hindrances to their usefulness;
the sources of greatest injury to their
clients; the causes of deepest dissatis
faction and prejudice, are the delays,
uncertainties and expenses of legal pro
ceedings. The losses and the anxieties
arising from these causes are often more
than the results which the suitor is fin
ally allowed to take out the scales of
, ustice. A client who has followed a
, nst cause from court to court and
through trial after trial, seeing verdicts
set aside and judgment reversed for
some mistake whieh perhaps does not
touch the real merits of the controversy,
is very likely to conclude that any set
tlement he could have made out of
court would have been better than vic
tory 'in a litigation, and to govern his
conduct accordingly. * * * What
the spirit of the age and the interest
alike of lawyers and clients demand is,
that litigation be confined to the vital
questions of just causes, and that speedy
results be reached.” Mr. Bonney sug
gested several measures of reform,
and among them these: -‘Let the law
declare that no one shall be heard in a
court of justice except upon the condi
tion of submitting both to do and re
ceive substantial justice without regard
to any technicality or matter of form.”
* * * “Let the law provide that no
, udgment shall be set aside or reversed
n any case, civil or criminal, provided
it shall appear upon the whole record
that substantial justice has been done.”

Governor Stephens Sick.
Atlanta Constitution.'
Governor Stephens is quite sick.
When he started from Savannah last
Saturday the thermometer stood at
eighty. When he reached Atlanta it
was loity. Such a change wa* not
calculated to benefit the governor by
any means, and he was prostrated by
severe cold. He kept his bed during
Sunday and the succeeding days, and
yesterday was worse than at any time
since his return. Governor Stephens
is now suffering from neuralgia of the
bowels and is receiving close atten
tion from his physician, Dr. £1. V. M.

Eufaula bounced a young man
tbe other day ind ordered him lo
take a seat in the cars and leave
towii for good. This was not be
cause the man was a tailor, or be
cause lie was Northern by birth, but
only because be wanted to marry a
Eufaula lady, when be already bad a
wife and a nine year-old-boy in the
Nofoth. After proot was made con
clusive, he acknowledged having a
wife, but said he bad never lived
with her but three days. T.iat was
a hopcinl showing for the-proposed
wife. He might not have lived with
her more than two days and then
skipped to another place, to deceive
another woman into becoming the
wife of one day. The man was
named T. J. Levin, and bad lived in
Eu faula a year or two. It might be
well for susceptable young ladies to
look ont for this blood.
