SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1883.
Good morning, Governor McDaniel.
Tbe Atlanta Star doubtless feels
like going off and kicking itself.
Asd there’s old aunt Savannah
jfetcs; don’t yon know she’s pipin’?
Twin Ken, twinkle little (Atlanta)
Star,
How I wonder what you are!
It is to be presumed that Col; Mar
cellas Thornton will now make good
' bis threat and wheel in to beat Me- <£ ~~~ . .. ' .
p an j e j his administration will not be one of
Woxdeb how the Atlanta Constilu- | ^^g indifference. He is
tion will manage to claim all the credit j tn * n ° r n erve and firmness, too, and
for Col. McDaniel’s nomination? We •' will not be led about by the'nose.
'Hie Nominee.
After spending three days in wrang
ling and ballotting, tbe State Demo
cratic convention finally nominated the
Hon. Henry D. McDaniel for Gover
nor, late Thursday afternoon.
We are satisfied with the result—
yea, we are gratified. Col. McDaniel
SPEECH OF JEFFERSON ©AVIS, j
Euloey on Albert Sidney Jobn.ton—
General, of tbe Con/ederacy.
GEORGIA NEWS.
Mr. Jefferson. Davis, in liis speech
at Mew Orleans Friday on Albert
Sidney Johnson, delivered at the
ceremony of laying the corner stone
of a monument to the dead leader,
said that the people of Mew Orleans
were about to raise a monument to
a man whose equal was not to be
is no ordinary man, and will make tbe found in history- Louisiana was cs-
ablest,and we might say, the best, Gov
ernor Georgia has had in some time.
Possessed of more than ordinary abili
ty and an integrity that is inflexible,
shall see.
It will take all tbe talent of tbe
“eleven able” to reconcile those tables
and tbe results—to make the storm of
facts fit the Wigginsisms.
Wonder what the Atlanta Confu
tation will have to say about it
this morning? The “eleven able” hard
ly rested well last night.
“A pnoPHET is not withont honor
save in his own country.” Respect
fully referred to the Atlanta Consti
tution and the Macon Telegraph.
It is all right, gentlemen. The Mews
and Advertises announced in the be
ginning that it would save its fire for
the nominee. Hurrah for McDaniel!
We have got a few sober words for
the Atlanta Star about what it calls
“hog-wash,” but it is crowded out of
this issue, and is. good enough to keep
a day or two.
Walteb Q. Gresham, whom Presi
dent Arthur has appointed Postmaster
General, is now United States Circuit
Judge of the seventh circuit of the
State of Indiana.
It was rnmored and whispered
around town last night, that Atlanta
had a lot of old junk for sale. Upon
inquiry, it was ascertained that it was
hardly worth buying, as it consisted
entirely of old broken rings, and was
absolutely unavailable.
Good morniDg, brother Macon Tele
graph. Maybe you think it ain’t as
good as it might have been, bat you
have cause to take unto yourself an
abundance of consolation, nevertheless.
It might have been so jrrmth worse,
yotfknow.
From G o’clock last Saturday morn
ing until 10 o’clock that night, the rain
fall in tbe city of New Orleans was
eight and two-thirds inches. This is
the greatest rainfall that has ever been
recorded there since the establish
ment of tho signal office in Mew Or
leans in 1871.
State Senator F. G. Dubignon, of
Milledgovillo, had his ankle badly
crushed by a runaway horse, at Irwin-
ton, on Feiday morning. His many
friends throughout the State will be
pained to hear of this serious accident.
It is to be hoped that he will recover
in time to attend the extra session of
tbe Genera) Assembly on the 9tb of
May.
As a matter of information to oar
readers, we will state that fashionable
milliners now ask their customers on
which side of Iho aisle her pew is, in
order that the chief ornament may be
placed on the congregation side of the
bonnet. This is a degree of progress,
but we expect ere long to see meeting
houses lined with shelving as ordi
nary dry goods stores are, where the
ducky bonnets may be conspicuously
arranged and labeled, so tbat we may
file in and scrutinize them as we do
the animal cages at a circus, while the
preacher paws the air in his vain en
deavors to distract oar attention from
the chief object and attiaction of the
show. That will be the Millenium of
the editors and reporters, who will
take to going to church in order to re
port them and collect bush money.
0, it will be flush times!
Another thing that will commend
Col. McDaniel to a great many of tbe
best Democrats in Georgia is, that be
has not been proclaimed from Atlan
ta, and is under no obligation what
ever to what is now commonly known
throughout tbe State as the “Atlanta
Ring.’’ There may not be snch a thing
as the Atlanta Bing really in existence,
but it certainly does exist; in the
minds of a very considerable political
element in the State, and Col. McDan
iel is to be congratulated upon the
fact that he has never been accused of
belonging to it, and, furthermore, that
he 13 in nowise indebted to its influ
ence for his nomination.
Man and Drink.
A well informed Washington cor
respondent writes that“the three Demo
cratic candidates for the Bpeakership
have all temporarily or occasionally
been topers,” and then adds: “Noth
ing is less understood than drink and
man.’
Truer words were never written.
Men who never drink, whose anteced
ents never drank; men who never
want to drink, and even those who
cannot drink, like women and saints,
may think they know all about it; but
they don’t. Mo man knoWB anything
about strong drink and its effects in
all the paths through which it ieads
its votaries, who has been a temperate
man all his life. Mor is any man com
petent to deliver temperance lectures
until he has not only “looked upon
the wine when ’tis red,” but has par
taken of it freely and excessively, and
been Btung by it.
Warm-hearted and generous men,
men who are warm in brain, warm in
mind—and more especially those who
are strong in ambition—are almost
sure to drink at some tine. Some of
them will flirt with the “rosy’’ for a
time—until experience and self-pos
session regulato them—and then they
will turn away from it Others will
be held by its fascinations; others will
be unmanned and dragged down to
shame by its merciless power, while
still others possess an inherent love
tor it, and will surrender to it peri
odically. And yet there are a few
who can drink it daily withont ever
taking too much. The latter are those,
however, who love the taste of the
liquor more than they do the effects
of it In these cases it is the appetite and
not the brain, nor yet the diseased sys
tem that calls for drink. A glassful
will suffice to appease the appetite,
while the man whose brain or system
calls for strong drink never,gets
enough—and he it is who has the
struggle of which his more fortunate
fellow-men know so little. He it is
who needs the sympathy and the help
more than the scorn and censure, of
his loved ones arid friends.
But after all, the worst thing about
drink is the unprofitable company it
leads to, and the crime that it bings.
Especially is this true in the South
where “social drinking” is indulged
in more generally than in any other
country, and where most of the drink
ing is done at saloons instead of at the
family board. This social drinking is
what ruins many a generous, noble
man. Liquor warms his nature up
and makes him fraternal, and he is no
Gen. Gordon’s Railways.
Gen. Gordon, Mow in Mew York,
upon being interviewed, had this to
say concerning his railroad enterprise
in the South: “I left the Senate of
the United States to carry out two en
terprises which I bad on my mind.
The first was a railroad from. Atlanta
to the Alabama coal field and beyond
it, otherwise the Atlanta and Pacific
Railroad. That work is going on yig-
.oronsly, and daring this year will
strike tbe coal field and give Atlanta
cheap fuel, and assist her in the career
Providence seems to have intended for
her. The other enterprise I designed
was the Florida Southern Railroad—
from Jacksonville straight down the
peninsula to the nearest point to Ha
vana. The American people will never
feel near to Havana as long as they
have to go to it by steamship from
New York city, Philadelphia, Balti
more and the other ports. When they
can step on hoard a vessel and in one
night’s trip arrive in Cuba, they will
feel as if it was no great venture. I
as fully contemplated that railroad
when I left the Senate as the Atlanta
and Pacific. I went to Florida, and
the Legislature treated me very hand
somely, giving me large donations
of land, on which money has
been raised in New York and
in Euiopc to build the road.
Wo are at work already. We can
build winter and summer. The dis
tance is from 400 to 500 miles from
Jacksonville to the end of the penin
sula. The country is very level, and
supplies enough timber for ties. I
have no doubt that this railroad will
now go straight along. Perhaps next
winter the splendid tourist movement
to Florida will be able io go on to the
south of that peniasula and take Cuba
in. Florida, in my experience, is re
ceiving more immigration and acces
sions than any part of the South. It
s one of the liveliest States in the
Union.”
The Unlncky (I) “Thirteen.”
In our issue of the 5th was an amus
ing account of the efforts of a super
stitious Belgian banker to baffle fate
by preventing the mystic number of
thirteen guests from sitting down at
the table at a grand banquet he gave.
For two hours before dinner he was
au desepoir by inability to limit the
number to twelve or raise it to four
teen by the unexpected arrival of one
friend or tbe receipt of “regrets” from
another. In allnding to the account
gentleman from New York City, who
is now in Albany for the benefit of
his health, says that he has attended
several dinners at which only thirteen
sat down. They were given by the
“Thirteen Club,” which was duly or
ganized January 13lh, 1882, for the
express purpose of combatting tho
popular superstition that thirteen was
an unlncky number, and also to bring
influence on the courts of the different
States to name other days than Friday
for executions, and so remove the’stig-
ma attached to that day of the week.
The club meets at a house, the owner
of which has thirteen letters in his
name, and his house is said to be
haunted at tbe dark of tbe moon.
There are thirteen letters in the name
of the street, and the figures in tbe
nnmber add up thirteen. ij dinner is
given on the 13th of every month, at
which only thirteen sit down at the
table. But as there are just thirteen
times thirteen members, including htrn-
oraries, it is allowable to make np
two or more tables of thirteen. The
precedence at the first table is, how
ever, always given to the undaunted
original thirteen, ail of whom still
keep their thumbs perfectly stiff. The
guests enter .{banquet hall under a
ladder with thirteen rounds, and over
their heads is the flag with thirteen
stripes. There are thirteen courses
and thirteen kinds of wine served.
The colored waiters mutinied at the
first dinner, hut soon broke the charm
and have given np the “nigger wash
erwoman’s gig” in policy for changes
on the mystic number with varied
success. President Arthur is an hon
orary member, and many prominent
jurists, divines, merchants and states
men are members. The cheering
motto is, “Morituri te salutamus.’’
pecialiy a place for a monument to
Albert Sidney Johnston because his
first commission in the army was
from that Slate. He was a cadet of
Louisiana. —He bad seen General
Johnston on many trying circum
stances, and in cases of extreme
peril, and lie had never seen a
whose purposes were so fixed, whose
mind was calmer, whose daring
greater, than Albert Sidney Jobn-
sion. Ill intellect he was great and
morally sublime. His life was de
voted to doty. It was in the dis
charge of that dnty that be died on
the field of Shiloh in the moment of
victory, when probably one-half
hoar more would have made Grant
a prisoner or a fugitive. Dying, he
left the record of a stainless life and
a great name, and that good repnti*
tion without which glory is hot an
empty sound. Mo language could
convey what the speaker’s heart de
sired to express concerning General
Johnston. When Albert Sidney
Johnston had come to offer his
vices for the war it had seemed to
him that a strong pillar was placed
under the confederacy, and when he
fell at Shiloh it appeared that the
mightiest column tbat sustained tbe
cause had fallen, shattered to the
ground. He was so calm, daring, in-
trepidand immovable thateverybocly
gave way to him. His love of lib
erty was’so great that when he went
.to Texas to espouse his cause he
songht no office, but gladly served
in the ranks.
Snch merits as his were like a light
that could not be hid under a bushel.
General Zachary Taylor recognized
his merits, but General Johnston
rendered services foi which he was
never rewarded. Little politicians
were seat chcd for all over the land
to be made Generals in the army of
Mexico, bat Sidney Johnston could
not get promotion. These little poli
ticians showed more sense than the
appointing power, for they got the
lieutenants in the army to tell them
what to do. Men were given ap
pointments not for their abilities,
but for their political standing. This
kind of civil service reform would
not do. The speaker conid say noth
ing which his auditors did not know
of Sidney Johnson. He appreciated
the generous natures which prompt
ed the decoration of the graves of
(he confederate dead, and which had
inspired the erection of monnmente
for the confederate leaders. Eras in
history had been marked by great
military chieftains, and it was -sel
dom that a single generation pro
duced even one. Mr. Davis thought
he might defy criticism when be said
that the confederacy had three great
leaders who would compare with the
leaders of antiquity or any in mod
ern limes. Fighting the whole
world almost, without sufficient
arms, ammunition and transporta
tion, history would do justice to the
confederate army and the Southern
people, who sustained the proudest
record of the power of intellect to
combat with matter that the world
has ever witnessed. 3Ir. Davis, in
conclusion, said he spoke to When
who were niore than historians be
cause they were llie subjects of histo
ry and could realize the greatness of
the character of Albert Sidney John
ston.
At the banquet ill the evening Mr.
Davis reiterated his statement that
the confederacy had produced three
great Generals, and Mew Orleans
was honoring each with a memo
rial—Lee, Jackson and Albert Sid
ney Johnston. Ex Senator James B.
Eustis ventured at the banquet to
pay a tribute to General Joseph E.
Johnston, but it eliciled manifesta
tions of a different character from
those which Mr. Davis drew out.
General Beauregard was absent in
Mobile, and it is noticed that he and
Mr. Davis do not. allow themselves
to meet on occasions like this.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
I rom tbe Camilla Clarion, 13th.
Uncle Rad Reynolds, of Dougherty
county, failed to beat the conference
of Fine Bluff church last Saturday
on account of the hard rain. He says
it is tile first limo he has missed it in
twenty years,
Mr. A. W.Cosby, a year or two ago,
bought the Ed. Bacon place, near
Pine Bluff. He has just repainted the
beautiful residence and is making
tbat fine place one of tbe loveliest
homes and most remunerative farms
in tbe country.
Who can give us any light as to
the best method of propagating
pomegranates? A few were shipped
from Camilla las', season, and paid as
handsomely as Florida oranges.
The people in the countless cities
will buy fruit of almost any kind.
The only question is how to raise
it cheaply and ship it to advantage.

The Star Route Farce.
Mr. Merrick, one of the principal
attorneys for the prosecution of the
Star Bonte thieves, is about to with
draw from the case. It is not certain
ly known what motive prompts him to
this step, and various opinions are ex-
Some think he has become
satisfied the government will he de
feated; while another advances the
novel idea that Mr. Merrick’s con-
—lienee will not allow him to draw
.ae large per diem any longer. He
says himself, that his private law prac
tice demands his attention. It is
thonght the case will drag along
through June. Col. Ingersoil, the at
torney for the thieves, is now banking
on a cancer that has appeared on the_
neck of one of the jurors—the idea
being to pvolong the case until the
cancer kills the luckless-juror. This
is the status of the case at the present
writing, and our readers may draw
of! their own inferences. Our own opin-
becomc
longer able to refuse the invitation — .
his friend to “take another.” And yet ion, is that Mr. Merrick has
the better a man is by nature, the 1 disgusted with the farce, and the inso-
more social he is in his drinking. That j lent blasphemy of Rob t.
Mr. F. F. Putney has forty acres in
watermelons. He pots n peck of
compost and a handful of guano to
the hill. He shows great taste in his
beautiful buildings, in setting out
long rows of shade trees about his
premises and white washing his
fences. Hardaway, under his magic
loach, will soon be one of the most
attractive stations on the S., F. & TV.
R’y. A fewjmore snch men will soon
make South Georgia - blosso’m as a
rose.
Truck farmers of. South Georgia
are now shipping cabbage and real
izing from five to seven cents a
pound. They make from seventy-
five to one hundred dollars per acre
on them. The seed were sown last
summer and the plauts set out in the
fall. We are sorry to say that Mr.
Joe Ellis is the only man we have
heard, who has raised any quantity
about Camilla, and he finds a good
market for all his here at home.
You’ll never glut the market with
fine spring cabbage. Cabbages are
not only a luxury, bnt a staple food
the world over. We have the cli
mate and soil for them. Let us use
our opportunity.
India.
The first census of India has just
been completed and presents some very
interesting figures anil statistics as to
this thickly settled section of Asia. The
pooulation of this vast country num
bers 253,891,821 persons, occupying
1.372,588 square miles, an$ inhabiting
over 43.500,000 dwellings. Itgs massed
in 714,707 towns or villages, and is
made up of 129,941,851 males and 123,-
949,970 females. Religiously, tbe popu
lation is derided as follows: 187,937,-
450 Hindoos. 50,121,585 Mohammedans,
6,426,511 native worshipers (who rep
resent the aboriginals of India), 3,41S,-
SS4 Buddhists, 1,862,634 Christians,
1,853,426 Sikhs, and 1,221,896 Jains.
The other forms of religion are so
small in representation that we need
not enumerate them. The Hindoos are
divided into no less than 72 castes.
The Roman Catholics embrace more
than half of the entire Christian com
munity. The effect ot the Hin
doo civil laws, which ordain that a
widow shill not remarry, is shown by
the fact that there are no less than 21,-
000,000 widows among the Hindoos
alone. The-dissimilarity of the various
peoples of India is aptly illustrated by a
statement which shows that, exclusive
of dialects and European languages, no
less than 123 distinct languages are
spoken by them. The most ^widely
spoken ' language is Hindustani. Out
of all the these hundreds of millions
only 203.000 persons speak English.
One secret of distress in India may be
found in the following returns: Of
ficials of the' Imperial government,
