Mack Davis, Thomasville’s well
known factotum, presented us last
week with some watermelon seed
which lie declares to be first-class,
and among them was a variety said to

Virginia seedless melon.’’ Their pro

Mack’s statements are verified due
notice thereof will be given.—2'horn-
asville Enterprise.
Where did he get those seed, if the
variety is seedless? But we will tell
you how to make any variety bear
seedless watermelons. After the vine
has attained sufficient length, throw
some dirt on it a short distance Irom
the hill, and after it has taken root,
cut it of! between the original hill
and the one thus rooted, and the
melons will be sweet and entirely
seedless.
The Governorship.
To one who left Atlanta on Satur
day night lazt, the outlook seemed
more favorable to the nomination of
President • of the Senate Boynton
as the successor of the lamented Gov
ernor Stephens than to any other gen
tleman who is now regarded as in the
race. Representative men from every
part of the State had been brotlgbt to
gether in the capital city to attend the
funeral, of the dead Governor, and
after the last sad rites had been per
formed the successorship naturally
became the absorbing topic and the
subject of a number of caucuses and
political conferences. As fast as local
preferences were laid aside we found
that the drift of opinion tended to
ward Mr. Boynton. The same indif
ferent bni still very natural and tell
ing support would go to any other \
good man in the State who had the!
prestige ot Mr. Boynton’s present po
sition; and he has worn the mantle of
tbe deceased Chief Magistrate with
such becoming dignity and fitful mod
esty during the short time that has
eltpsed since it was so unexpectedly
laid upon him, that many who had pre
viously regarded his political prefer
ment with indifference would now be
loath to see him divested of tbe glit
tering robe. The people don’t want
a hea'cd campaign at a time like this,
either, and a great many will favor
Mr. Boynton because they think that
tbe easiest way to avoid it.
So far as the News and Advectiseb
is concerned, it has no axo to grind
in the coming contest, and
no lavorite candidate to urge upon the
people. We should like to see the
lion. Wm. E. Smith made Governor
of Georgia, but he declines to enter
into a canvass for the position, and
will be satisfied with whatever the
choice of tho Democratic convention
may be, whether that choice siionid
be himself or another. If every
aspirant for the position wonld

emulate tile example set by Ctpt. Smith,
then the convention could nominate a
candidate without a disgraceful
scramble, and anything like a heated
campaign, which would be so inoppor
tune and unfortunate at this time,
would be avoided. A triend of
Capt. Smith in Atlanta telegraph
ed to that gentleman to know
if lie would run. The following tele
gram was 6ent in reply:
I am not seeking tbs nomination,
but should I lie the nominee of the
Democratic party I wonld accept
W. E. Smith.
“Thebe is no Lieutenant-Governor
in Georgia, so a new election lias been
ordered almost before Mr. Stephens
has been put into his coffin, and n num
ber of candidates have already been
announced. There is a promptness
nbout politics which puts the hair-
trigger at a great disadvantage.—Phil
adelphia Times.
There are two points made in the
above paragraph which we desire to
notice, because they spring subjects of
iuterest to ail good citizens. In tiie
first place, we are in favor of creating
the office of Lieutenant-Governor,
both as a matter of economy and as a
means of putting down ‘■hair-trigger’’
politicians. The indecent haste and
brutal vigor with which a few would-
be Governors opened the campaign
has had its effect upon all lovers of
decency in Georgia. Tho fact that it
is the subject of unfavorable comment
abroad only udiln to the poignancy of
the shame.
Tnis Atlanta Post-Appeal, after
quoting a paragraph from the News
and Advertiser, in which we spoke
of the fitness of Col. J. G. Barks to
succeed Senator Boynton as President
of lhe Senate, in the event Ihc latter
was elected Governor, goes on to say:
“It will be seen from tho above that
the canvass for a successor of Gov.
Boynton as President of lhe Senate,
has already commenced. If there is
nny chance for any one of them to
succeed Senator Boynton, they must
assist him to be elected Governor.’’
It is assumed by the Post-Appeal
that we concede the inevitable elec
tion of Mr. Boynton, which we do not
by any means. “If Col. Boynton is
elected’’is what ue said, and there
are olher thin rs to be done than hoist
ing Col. Boynton’s name at the mast
head of the Post-Appeal. Tho last
sentence in our Atlanta contemporary’s
paragraph also implies a threat which
is in bad taste, to say the least of it.
Mb. Stephens is said to have, on
several occasions, kept death at bay
by sheer strenglit of will. The poet
Heinc,who was much more afflicted,had
similar experiences. His wife inspired
him to live. A Herald correspond
ent alluding to this fact and to her
recent death thus writes:
“How many times,” he used to say
himself, “hasher voice called back my j rv character, but our interest in the
Wiggins’ Storm.
The press dispatches of the 11th
sud 12th report that snow and rain
prevailed in northern New York, bnt
weather clear and cold with a stiff
breeze, but no gale, from New Jersey
northward. At St. John, N. B., on
the 11 ih, tbe storm which had pre
vailed the previous night had subsid
ed, with shifting winds. The tide
was higher thai* usual, breaking sev
eral wharves, bat doing little damage.
At Waterloo, Quebec, the severest
storm known for years was in pro
gress. The snow was piled moun
tain high, obstructing business. Two
distinct shocks of earthquake were
felt, causing great alarm.
Upon the strength of these reports
Wiggins claims that liis predictions
are verified, as the highest tide ever
known has been reported at Halifax:
and telegrams received at Ottawa from
all points indicate a severe tempest.
He says he has always felt an interest
in the safely of the people on the shores
of the Bay of Bengal and Gulf o.f
Mexico, and that at tho former place
hundreds of thousands ot lives must
have perished on tiie 10th, by the
tidal wave. Jlc further says that Ibis
is tiie greatest slorm that can occur on
this planet, and the greatness of its
scope is tiie only hope of safety.
Prof. Wiggins slyly twits the Cana
dian and United States authorities for
not hoisting their storm signals until
it was. upon them. Some people, he
said, expected an iinposibie storm on
tho 11th, but lie had repeatedly said
that his object in making tbe predic
tion was tho safety of mariners, and
no harm could come to those on land
except to those exposed to tidal
waves. There Las certainly been a
first-class storm in a considerable por
tion of the world, and Wiggins is en
titled to at least a dog-fall with all the
balance of the weather seers com
bined.
The Columbus Enquirer says:
“The railroads declined to give reduced
rates to citizens who desired to attend
Gov. Stephens’ funeral, in consequence
of which quite a number did not go
(rom this city who would have other
wise gone.’’ “This,’’ pertinently re
marks tho New Orleans Picayune
indicates that whenever somebody
wants to go somewhere railroads are
expected to reduce rates.’’
The Thomasville Enterprise calls
him ‘'lien. J. S. Boynton, Governor
ad interim,” and then proceeds to say
that the executive mantle should fall
upon a representative fi.J South
Georgia; winding up by commending
such men as Hon. A. T. McIntyre,
Hon. J. L. Seward, W. M. Hammond,
and A. U. Hansel 1. Any one of these
would make us a good Governor.
Tiie Seorala Watermillion.
Atlanta Com titutiou. -
The Albany News and Advertiser
in ils own behalf and in behalf of
South Georgia, has proposed to the
Augusta Chronicle lliat the Consti
tution be clioten as a hoard of ar-
bitraiiou to decide as to the relative
excellence of the Augusta wntermil-
lion and tiie South Georgia water-
million. Our understarding is that
the Chronicle lias accepted the prop
osition, and the Constitution may
be pardoned if it begins to feel in
advance lhe growing pains andsymp-
toms of responsibility. For one
sweet and sugary half hour, our po
sition will be an enviable one. Each
contestant is to forward to these
headquarters a fair sample of the
particular watermillion of which he
lias constituted himself the cham
pion, und the Constitution, after en
joying the feast which such a con
test .provide®, is to render its decis
ion.
The responsibililics to which we
have referred are of an extraordina

Moore as operator.
—Mr. J. E. Blackshear, of Thomas-

—Governor Boynton has been elected
| an honorary member of Phi Kappa So
ciety of the University at Athens.
—The fruit gathered from seventeen
acres of the Cunningham fruit farm
near Griffin the past' year realized for
the owner $7,000.
’ —Griffin’s fire department is in good
shape, and is evidently itching for a
chance to tackle something—either a
first-class fire or a silver trumpet.
—Camilla is evidently In earnest
about having an artesian welL The
county and city are to each pay one-
half the expense of sinking the well.
—According to the Hews, Alapaha

henceforth her belated citizen will hie

—The so-called “gang” are intimat
ing their desire that Mr. Boynton
should be Governor. The people at
large arc thus relieved from any anxie
ty in the matter—Monrot Advertiser.
—A good deal of comment has been
caused because a Georgia man broke
his back with a sneeze; but how much
more wonderful it would have been
had he broken his knees with his back?
—Mr. Bascom Myrick has been re
elected Grand Regent of the Royal Ar

of tbe brightest and most earnest mem

at the head of it.
—Mr. James Glenn, of Early county
was shot and mortally wounded while
standing on the steps of Ills residence
on Monday night of last week. It is
said bis cousin, Chapel Leath, was the

—The new court house at Atlanta is
very nearly finished, and is a very
handsome and commodious structure.
Tbe cost of ibe building and grounds
will be $120,000, all of which has been
paid excepting $8,000, and when the
building is completed there will be
upon it a bonded debt of $40,000 in

—An exchange pertinently remarks
that men who are advertised in their
papers are the men who transact the
business of the town. You can pick
up a newspaper, and in five minutes
tell who does the buying and selling,
and keep alive the interests of the

flects the worth, enterprise and intelli

published.
—State School Commissioner Orr will
soon begin a canvass of the counties,
and will make his first address to the
people of Dooley county, at Vienna, on
the subject of common schools, his ob

Legislature, before which he will have
two bills on the subject. He desires to

Hon. IVm. E. Smith Interviewed by
soul just as it was about to wing its
flight to the unknown world? Next to
the care of her husband her flowers
and her parrot constituted the chief
occupation of her life. One night
Heine was writhing in one of his ter
rible seizures, when his wife, in the
greatest distress and alarm, took hold
of his hand, which she pressed and
•fondled. She wept bitterly, and in a
voice broken by sons he heard her
“No, Henri, you must not do that;
you must not die. Have pity on me!
I lost my parrot this morning, and if
you should die, ioo, I shall be utterly
broken hearted.” “It was an order,”
said the poet, describing the scene to
M’me Joubert, “and I obeyed. She
gave me such an excellen' reason for it
that I cautinued to live.’’

development of the material inter
ests of our noble old commonwealth
impel us to accept the office of arbi
trator in the spirit in which it was
tendered. Meanwhile, we feel it to
he our duty to warn Albany and its
environs that it has entered a con-
| test against the experience of a sec
tion that has been hugging the rat
tlesnake watermillion to its bosom
for thirty years, and the only way to
beat it is to burn off a brier-patch,
break the ground thoroughly and
sow it down in what the Georgia
cracker calls superhossphate.
Whatever mistakes we may make
as arbitrator will, wo trust, be con
doned by ail who have a weakness
for the Georgia watermillion.
Atlanta Constitution.
Ex-Congressman Wm. E. Smith, of
Aibary, is in the city attending to bus
iness before the Supreme Court. Dur
ing his stay in the city many friends
have asked him how he stood in rela
tion to the Gubernatorial canvass. He
said to all of them what be said to s
Constitution man last night, when he
remarked that his recent telegram to
a triend in this city expressed his po
sition accurately.
“I am not,” he said, “a candidate for
the office as a seeker for it I should
not decline the nomination if my party
chose to honor me with it Bnt the
question of my fitness for it I shall
leave to others.’’ It is well known that
Colonel Smith'has been very generally
importuned by frieuds all over the
State to enter the race for Governor.
He has appreciated these assurances of
support and has preserved all the
while a dignity and a modesty that are
admirable.
THE INSIDE.
Tdagjjaph.
A correspondent of the New York
Times telegraphs to that journal the
inside of tho present political situation
in Georgia. The telegram bears date
of the 11th, and says that the guber
natorial race is between Messrs. Ba
con and Boynton. That Mr. Steph
ens had indicated Jqdge Crawford as
his political heir, bnt that the Judge
declines upon the pronise of Boyn
ton and friends to support him for the
next regular term. Capt. Jackson
holds back for tho race for the full
term. Congressman Blount has de
cided to remain in national politics, as
he hopes to be chairman of an important
committee in the Democratic Con
gress. Ex-Senator McDaniel and ex-
C ongressman Tete Smith, who voted
against the Electoral Commission and
refused to speak to Hayes, may possi
bly yet come into tho race. The res
ignation ot Senator Joe Brown is re
garded as likely in the near future and
i here is a good deal of trading on this
probability. .
Remarkable Duel.
One of tbe most remarkable dneis
on record was recently fought in the
suburbs of East St. Louis, III-, and,
though It did not result fatally, it
was by no means bloodless. Two
negroes, Bill Moiack and Mike Van-
derberg, were out rabbit hunting
and met with poor success. They
stopped, in a saloon in the
edge of the town, where they met
several ot their friends, who twitted
them about, having no game, and
got up an argument as to which of
tho two hunters was the better
matksman. The argument became
a hot and angrv one, and it was de- j
cided that the only way to settle it |
was to shoot, and each man was to :
be the other's target.. They repair- ;
ed to a field, and, taking position
back to back, started at a given sig
nal from the third negro, the argree- ;
ment being to walk twenty steps. 1
wheel and lire. Yanderberg walked
faster than Moiack, and turning first,
fired just as Moiack turned. Moiack
dropped l.is gun aud staggered.;
Seeing this, Yanderberg- ran, but I
Moiack braced up, seized his gnn, I
and gave chase, shouting, “I must !
have my shot.*’ Seeing he was about
to be overtaken, Yanderberg turned,
and as he did so Moiack fired, and
then sunk exhausted in the snow.
Yanderberg also fell. Both negroes
were bleeding profusely, and the
field where thev fell looked like a
AUsnu Constitution.
Governor Boynton not having form
ally declared himself a candidate for
Governor, the Constitution asked him
on yesterday whethei be bad deter
mined on his course. He said:
“I do not see how I can avoid being
a candidate. I am placed in a posi
tion that is not of my own seeking.
It comes through a loss that, in com
mon with all Georgians, 1 deplore
most heartily. But, under the cir
cumstances, I do not see how I could
fail to ask the people to elect me for
the rest of_ this term. In ail frank
ness and manliness, I do not think
even mv opponents could ask me to
do less than this. I do not hesitate to
say that I should not make my own
candidacy. Bot if I were to fail to
meet the responsibility put upon me
by circumstances over which I bad no
control, I should not meet the expec
tations of my friends or deserve the
respect of those who oppose me.”
“Have you anything to say to the
public ?’’
“Nothing of importance. The peo
ple understand the situation thorough
ly, and I am willing to stand or fall
on their sense of justice and proprie
ty. I shall devote myself to the du
ties of the high and responsible office
to which I have been called, and ac
cept tbe verdict ol my people without
question. If they decide that I am
worthy to fill out the term to which I
come ex-officio, I shall be grateful. If
they decide that another is more fit or
deserving than I, I shall not dispute
the right of their decision.
“I am a democrat and in thorough
sympathy with the democratic party.
It has been my aim to scire my state
faithfully and honestly, in whatever
field I may be placed.’ I! I am elect
ed governor, I will be the governor ol
the whole people. I shall trv to con
firm and perpetuate I he reforms and
economies established by my prede
cessors, and niy ambition will be satis
fied if I ran make a record on which
at tiie end of my term, I can rest with
out fear. T am not an ambitious man
and do not love high place for place’s
sake. Bnt I conceive it to be my du y
to maintain the positipn in which t
find myself aud you may say, there
fore, if you please, that I will be a
candidate for tin unexpired term.”
