The Hint Hirer Appropriation—Hon.
■j H. G, Torner.
' When : the Sews asd Advektisee
announced as a- fact, a short time
since, that the Secretary of War had
recommended an appropriation of
$75,000 for the improvement of Flint
river, it did so on the authority of a
uew-paper dispatch, which was print-

It was certainly a close contest, the
shooting match between Ur Carver‘and
Bogardus, in Louisville last Thursday,
which the former won by, one bird,
killing 83 to bis opponent’* 82. Bo :
gnrdus was the favorite at the start.
TnE annual product of erode -iron in
the United States has reached the
great aggregate of $100,000,000 as
against $21,000,000 in 1860; and of
steel rails $60,000,000 worth, as against
$7,850,000 worth of iron rails in I860.
A lady of high social position . in
London writes" to a friend in this
country: “Tile detractors of Mr.
Wilde will be glad to know that upon
his return lo London with his pile of
American dollars he placed precisely
half of the amount in the hands of bis
mother.’’
The Macon Telegragh has tarried
State’s evidence in the case of the out
spoken press of the State vs: the State
Agricultural Society. This Is one of
the practical results of the late"'.con
vention held in Macon. Sow who
says the State Agricultural Society is
not a powerful organization?
The Atlanta Constitution evidently
regards the condition of Governor
Stephens as alarming. In its issue of
Thursday we find the following:
“Governor Stephens was quite Hick
yesterday and last night, and his
friends are apprehensive of serious
trouble. The Governor is very weak
and finds much difficulty in retaining
nourishment. Dr. Raines stays by his
bedside constantly.’’
We would like to see public opinion
brought to bear upon Rev. Joseph T.
Inman, of Station D., New York, and
Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass.,
with a view to their consolidation in
some way. Such a consummation
would be hailed with gladness by
thousands of newspaper readers all
over the land. We suggest, by way
of a starter, tiiat inasmuch as they
are both great specialists, they he
forced to prance up the aisle of Rev.
Beecher’s church to the soul-melting
strains of “Ever of thee,” and there
summarily married by him. the afore
said Beecher. That would help the
cause some, as they could consolidate
their advertisements and give the
country a long needed rest.
A party of Thomasvilie gentlemen
having nothing to do hut to amuse
another column from the Hon. H. G.
Torrier, however, it appears that the
statement uiade in this dispatch, ao
gratifying to those of us interested in
the im^roverfient of the Flint, was an
erroneous one, and that the $75,000
was merely the Chief Engineer’s esti
mate in his repert to the Secre
tary of War of tbe_total amount that
would be required to open our river
to navigation.
In order to correct so serious an
error, and, at the same time, at an act
of justice to our able and efficient
Representative in Corigtess, the Hon.
H. G. Turner, we have concluded to
publish his letter, although the
ia carefully marked “personal.’’ We
can perceive nothing in the letter that
would make its publication, under the
circumstances, an improper use
private correspondence, since it con
tains nothing but what does our hon
orable Representative credit for his
.zeal and persistence in securing the
appropriation he has, while others
have failed.
Meanwhile, l't is a source of gratifi
cation to know that the amount re
quired for the opening of the river will
only, in the opinion of the Chief En
gineer, amount to $75,000, arid that
$15,000 of this amount will be pro
cured this year.
Washisotoe, D. C., Feb. 24th, 1883.
Hon. AT. Jf. McIntosh, Albany, Ga.:
Deab Sir:—I observe that your
paper reproduces, with favorable en
dorsement, a paragraph from the Bun-
bridge Democrat on the subject of the
improvement of Flint river. That
paragraph asserts that the Secretary
of War has recommended an appro
priation of $75,000 to $100,000 for that
river, and adds that it'secs no good
reason why I may not secure that ap
propriation if I will try, etc. The
Secretary of War has not made such
recommendation. He has merely
transmitted to Congress, in compliance
themselves, as we learn from the En
terprise, determined to have some fun.
They selected a New York commer
cial traveler as their victim of a prac
tical joke, and, organizing a mock
court, had hint arrested for an assault
on some person, and proceeded to try
him, greatly to his surprise. Although
perfectly innocent, the evidence was
conclusive, and the court fined him
five dollars, or in default, a treat for
tho crowd. Upon this sentence he
first learned the nature of the case,
and, accepting the verdict, treated.
Then the New York man, determined
to have his part of the fun, swore out
a warrant against the prosecuting at
torney, the sheriff arid chief witness
for false imprisonment.
It is strange
how a newspaper
paragraph can make a man or a wo
man boil over with indignation, when,
perhaps, if the same remark had been
made on the street, nothing would
have come of it. Why is it that tho
average man or woman forgets to get
mad until late in the evening, or per
haps next day after he has read
the paper, has perplexed more re
porters than the tariff question or the
mistakes of Moses. If people could
get their consent to read paragraphs
in a general way and without makings
personal application where npne was
intended, many unpleasant and useless
misunderstandings would be avoided.
But unfortunately for the world—and
Albany forms part of the world—there
are too many Ransey Sniffleses in it for
the peace of society. A harmless
paragraph may appear, and would be
passed without unpleasant comment,
hut for the zeal and watchfulness of
Ransey. As soon as he spies the un-
offending article, no time or labor is
lost in prodding the over-sensitive or;
suspicious into personal application.
This is all wrong—unjust to the edi
tor, aud promotive of bad feeling in
the community. The remedy is sim
.The Wate’melon—South Georgia vs.
Angusin-
In another column we publish the
concluding paragraph of an article on
melon culture from the Augusta
Chronicle, inspired by the late efforts
of the News and Advertises to bring
into due prominence the value of the
watermelon as an article of commercial
vale and a source of wealth. In this
paragraph the: Chronicle evidently
displays a touch of nervous alarm at
the threatened inroad soon to he made
by the South Georgia melons over
those raised around Augusta, aud
which have always formed such an
important item of the subsidiary traffic
of Augusta, by decrying the quality
and flavor of those raised in this sec
tion as compared with the Augusta
rattlesnake. We arc quite willing to
allow our contemporary to gather all
the consolation and relief he can from
such surmises of his own. It is a fact
nevertheless, and one known to the
most experienced of our melon grow
ers dowu here, that the seed of the
Augusta “rattU snake’’ melon, shipped
to South Georgia where a proper and
sufficient degree of cultivation is used,
invariably produce a larger, ‘ better
flavored and more luscious melon, be
sides having the futrher advantage of
being fully a month earlier in the
market than the same seed do around
Augusta. Augusta has heretofore
had no formidable rival in the melon
market, and could attribute whatsoever
virtues and properties it pleased to her
melons as to size, quality, flavor etc.,
without fear of contradiction, but it
would not surprise us in the least, and
we do not say it in a spirit of boasting,
that in the course of a few years,
when our new industry shall have
been fairly established here, seed will
bo shipped from this section to Au
gusta, by way of improving their crop.
tne community, ihe remedy is sim
ple, if adopted, arid- would lead to a
better appreciation of the efforts of the
editor—banish Ransey Sniffles from
the community and lake a more lih-
eral view’of things as they appear,
and never distort an innocent article
into a personal slur. ■
The temperance people appear to be
waging an unrelenting war against the
liquor men ail over, the. State. In
Gwinnett county seventeen indict
ments against liquor sellers will come
before the court at the next session for
selling without license ani failing lo
register according to the law govern
ing lire liquor traffic in the county.
In this connection, to those who be-; :
Here that the existing excitement
against the liquor traffic is merely
temporary, and destined tp subside
after a time, wou|d do well to ponder
the following few statistics given by a
correspondent of the Savannah Hews:
Among the many enterprises of a
public character with which the late,
Hon..-William E.podge Was associat
ed, tile National Teuipei’aqcc Society,
founded in 1866, received his warmest-
and most liberal support. Fora num
ber of years he was its President and
ruling spirit, contributing to its funds
from year to yeor. as its . necessities-
seemed to require. The society has
printed and distributed since its organ
ization over 500,000.000 pages of tem
perance literature and spent over $80.-
000 tor stereotyping and literary labor.
This work has extended over every
State in the Union, the Dominion of
Canada aud the Old. World, reaching,
doubtless, millions of persons. :JIr.
Dodge, not long before his death, es
tablished a permanent (rind of $20,000
as & special endowment to this socie
ty. The Publishing Agent and Secre
tary of the society is Mr. J. N. Stearns,
of New'York, who has been the per
sonal friend of Mr, Dodge, since the
organization of the society, and is a
gentleman of large views, with per
haps a 'wider experience touching all
phases' of the temperance question
than any other man in America. He
will mike a flying trip South early in
March, and we learn, expects to spend
’ r or two iri SaTannah, and some
Georgia’s Treasury and Finances.
The following special dispatch to
the Atlanta Constitution should be a
source of gratification to every Geor
gian in this day of repudiation and
State treasury irregularities and trnb-
les:
New York, February 28.—Hon. D.
N. Speer, State Treasurer of Georgia,
who came to New York a few days
ago to negotiate the sale of $160,000
worth of United Slates four per cent,
bonds for the State of Georgia, accom
plished the object of his visit to-day.
The bonds were, sold in Wall Street,
and the proceeds,, amounting to over
$180,000, were deposited in the Fourth
National bank, the New York fiscal
agent of the State of Georgia.
The money will be applied to the
payment of the public debt of the
State of Georgia and will remain in
the Fourth National bank until it is
needed for that purpose. By such a
course the Siate will save about $300
which would have to be paid out if the
money was taken to Georgia. The
bonds which were sold were received
by the State as a part of the proceeds
of the Macon and Brunswick railroad.
Major Speer will leave for home in two
or three days. The sale is considered
a good one. -v
with a resolution, the annual
o f the Engineer Department, such as
have been made for yean for all the
riven and harbors in the United
States that are included in the nsnal
bill for their improvement. Those
estimates aggregate thirty or forty
millions, and the Flint has been in
cluded at the same fignre as for years.
Last year an increase of five thous
and dolian was aUowed the river be
tween Albany and the Chattahoochee.
On account of the popular clamor
against that large bill, the President,
in his last
mended that no river and harbor bill
be passed at this session. Yon can
now see that it is not so easy to secure
an appropriation for a river np to the
full amount of the engineer’s estimate.
However, notwithstanding the odious
character of the last bill, and the dis-
couragement from the Executive, the
committee on commerce hare reported,
as you have seen, a bill cutting down
the appropriations of last year ten mil
lions, and leaving the FI nt the increase
of last year. When there has
redaction of over one-half of the bill
of last year, we perhsps ought not to
complain if the redaction has not af
fected yonr part of the bill.
I regret that the committee have not
seen fit to gratify onr friends who are
interested in that part of the river
above your city. The new orpending
bill will be brought np next week.
I have thought this brief statement
due to yon and to me.
Very truly yours,
H. G-Tueres.

which Is yet in its infancy in this re

Accoedixg to the Augusta Hews,
there is a rumor afloat that the whole
sale houses of Atlanta will soon hold's
Conclare, and resolve to do away with
the festive drummer. After years of
triai it is found that lliey “cost more
than they come to.’’

Macon, Ga., Fob. 28,1883.
Hews and Advertiser.
Although fully an hour ahead of time
when I reached the depot at Albany
yesterday to take the train for Hacon,
I found the three passenger coaches,
as well as the sleeper, crowded, and
it was only by going forward into the
colored car that I was able to find a
scat. This likewise soon became un
comfortably filled, and continued so to
Smithville. Inquiring of the conduc
tor the meaning of what appeared to
me so unusual an amount of travel, I
was informed that such was the
daily, and had been for some time
past. -A large majority pf the passen
gers consisted of Florida tourists
on their way Northward, some bound
immediately for home, while many, as
I learned, were merely leaving Flori
da in search of lees crowded and more
salubrious localities in Middle Georgia
or South Carolina—crowded out in
tact, and both willing and eager to
stop anywhere, with only the prelimi
nary indispensable condition secured
of good quarters and accommodation.
It may be partly imagined from this
what Albany has lost in the paBt and
what she is daily losing by her back
wardness in the matter of hotel room
and accommodation. That hundreds
of these tourists, both invalids and
pleasure-seekers, would stop over in
Albany and remain for indefinite pe
riods, cannot admit of donbt. The
hundreds of inquiries that are made
on every hand as to Albany’s
sources in this particular, about her
now widely celebrated artesian water,
prices of land in the vicinity, etin, all
attest this fact, and the wonder is that
many do not come anyhow and sub
mit to discomforts and inadequate ac
commodations for a season, in order
to secure a footing there. One thing,
I think, is patent to even a casual ob
server—Albany, with her many
vantages and inducements as a winter
resort, and, in particular, her unap
proachable artesian water, will not
longwemain withont an influx of the
kind, and then the several enterprises
needed to make it a resort that have
been merely talked about and dallied
over 80 long by her own men of ample
means, will be taken in hand by North-
ern and foreign capitalists, and the
boom will commence in earnest
It was very evident all along the
route from Albany to Macon that the
same backwardness in farm work and
operations complained of in Dougher
ty and the counties below was the rule,
almost without exception. Only
farmer was seen to be planting
On many of the places seen from the
car window the ground waa being
broken for the first time, and on very
few was the ground prepared ready for
the seed. Should March, however,
fulfill the confident predictions of
Vennor, Wiggins snd tho other weath
er prophets snd seers, this may not
prove a misfortune. A

We saw a letter from another Chi
cago commission merchant yesterday,
who says that the prices at which he
sold melons for producers last season
ranged from $40 to $60 per hundred.
Quite a number of letters are now be
ing received from commission mer
chants in the cities of the Northwest
whose attention has been attracted to
Southwest Georgia by the articles on
truck farming that have recently ap
peared in the News and Advertiser.
Mr. J. R. Forrester, whose name has
figured prominently in most of th
articles, has received a great many
letters making inquiry about the pros
pective melon crop, and solicting ship
ments. Ail this augurs well for the
new industry.
The News ahd Advertiser enjoy
ed a visit from ex-Governor and Sen
ator-elect Colquitt yesterday after-
His visit to Albany waa purely
a business one, snd he returned last
night to AtUnta. The Governor
speaks in glowing terms of his expe
rience on his recent trip to the West,
and is evidently highly gratified at
the cordial reception with which he
met wherever he went; but he is still
prond of Georgia and says that at no
time or place in the great West was
he made to feel ashamed of the pro
gress of his own State and the pres
ent condition o f her people. He con
gratulated the News ahd Advertiser
upon its recent efforts in behalf of
track farming and diversified agricul
ture in Southwest Georgia, and said
that he would look for the results of
thenew departure that is beiog'msde
by so many of onr people this year
with mnch interest.
