There is a story going the rounds of
the press, as to how the cotton plan
ters of Texas manage to get up the
“first balo.” The writer represents
that a number of planters in the
same neighborhood agree upon one of
their nomber to father the bale, and
then all contribute their first pickings
until the first bale is made np, when
it is forwarded to market for the pre
mium. The premium being received
is divided.
A special dispatch from Silver
City, New Mexico, says that Andrew
Sloan, a prominent lawyer of that
city, died on Saturday morning last of
malarial fever. Mr. Sloan was a na
tive of Georgia, and will be remem
bered as the Representative of the
First District in the Forty-third Con
gress. Mr. Sloan was a Republican
in politics, but was personally very
popular in Savannah, where ho re
sided and practiced law. He moved
to 'New Mexico in 1879, where, it is
said, he accumulated quite a fortune
as an attorney in mining cases.
Jersey justice is proverbial. If we
had a little of it in Georgia the coun
ties would not be put to such vast ex
pense in caring for criminals, between
the time of their arrest and their trial.
The Trenton Times, of New Jersey,
gives an account of the speedy way a
criminal was dealt with. It says:
“Last Thursday a man at a race course
used brass knuckles in a fight which
.he had contrived to get up. Within
twenty-four hours he was arrested,
locked np, taken to court, tried, sen
tenced, shaved, scoured, clipped,
given a new suit of clothes—in short,
had made the grand tour of station
house, court room ard prison, and
had learned something about making
shoes or other little useful articles for
the Stated
Yellow- back literature leads boys
in this country to buy a pistol and
start West to scalp Indians or play the
role of a cowboy. In France the same
sort of literature led a boy, the Vicoule
Louis de Torgerie, the heir of one
of the oldest and largest estates in
Brittany, to hang himself. He had
been reading accounts of several
hangings, and he took it into his
head to frighten his little sister by an
impromptu illustration of the horrors
of hanging. He slipped the noose
about his neck, passed the end of the
rope over the door of his father’s
library, and went through all the pre
liminary formalities of hanging him
self. His foot slipped on the polished
oak floor, the rope became jammed in
the hinges of the door and the young
ster was choked to death before as
sistance reached him.
The people of the two cities of
New York and Brooklyn are complain
ing of the great bridge. They say it
is not worth thirty cents a year to the
people who walk. The reason is set
forth in the following extract from a
New York letter to the Charleston
News and Courier: “It will be of use
perhaps as many as three days of each
winter, when fog and ice combine to
make ferry travel perilous and uncer
tain. It has proved a disappointment,
upon the wholo. The distance is too
great for ordinary business people to
walk, being more than a mile from end
to end, while five cents—the fare to
1« charged when the cars are at last
put In running order—is so mnch
more than the ferry charge of two cents
for practically the same service that it
is doubtful whether the cars will find
- many passengers when they do run.”
his selections have been made with
judgment, and with an eye single to
the fitness of the appointees and the
efficiency of the public service. In his
mode, too, of dealing with the num
berless hordes of namerously endors
ed applicants for office, in apparently
ignoring all such cheap credentials al
together, the Governor has inaugur
ated a new departure in the distribu
tion of executive patronage, in which
all good and true citizens of Georgia
will bid him God-speed. There
never was yet an incumbent of the
Executive office of Georgia, nor
man in the State fit for it, who was
not able at a glance to set a correct
valuation on these formidable and im
posing applications, as well as on the
man generally prefering them, but in
the majority ot cases hitherto the
hydra coil of ring or other influence has
been too surely anti effectually laid
beforehand to be successfully shaken
off. If Gov. MeDaniel only keeps on
consistently and fearlessly in the
course indicated by his late appoint
ments, he will uot merely save him
self infinite trouble and harrassment
in the future, but will go far toward
redeeming the Executive Department
of Georgia from the odium of being
the office-brokerage concern that
has attached to it in recent years.
The favorable endorsement of an
applicant for office by any consider
able and respectable number of his fel
low-citizens might be supposed in all
ordinary cases to make a strongprima
facie case in his favor. Whereas, in
truth and practice, it has come to be
regarded of late years as a mere piece
of formalism, if not a disqualifying
circumstance. The reasons for this
are too obvious for comment How
many of those who are promt with
their ever ready signatures to any and
every application for office, would
show the same alacrity in affixing their
sign-manual to an official bond re-
quired of the same applicant? And
how many of such appointees are there
who have carried up the names of
every “responsible and influential”
citizen in their counties or districts,
yet who have had afterwards to scour
the country in a futile hunt after one
or two Bolvcnt bondsmen? While it
requires, we repe it, no great amount
of sagacity to see through such flimsy
disguises, yet the official who exhibits
the requisite degree of nerve and in
dependence in dealing with all such,
will in the end be sure of his reward
in the thanks of the people at large,
including, in a majority of cases, that
of the signers themsclTes.
The disease of office seeking is a
perennial one, the resources of those
afflicted with it are infinite, and their
methods of approach and procedure
are manifold, yet for this phase of
it no remedy could well be found so
effectual as (he one apparently adopted
by Gov. McDaniel. The extent to
which this evil has gone of late years
begins te call loudly for a remedy ol
When judges on the bench
stoop to dicker with grand jurors for a
favorable vote or endorsement, or,
what is quite as reprehensible, circu
late a petition among members of the
bar for theirsignaturee and suffrages—
when, in short, any official, high or
low, makes use of his position to
further his ends by such a inode of
proceeding every reflecting man will
admit that the evil is a serious one.
Let Governor McDaniel but persevere
in the good work he has so auspiciously
begun, and a grateful'and greatly be-
pestered public will reward him with

statement of the patticulars. The
closest interrogators might, however,
in a court of justice, unravel and point
Atlanta and the New Capitol.
Atlanta has certainly acted fairly
and honorably with the people of
Georgia with reference to the new
capitol. She has more than fulfilled
her promise to give the State a capitol
building ‘ as good as the one at Mil-
ledge ville/’
Now that the capitol question is
settled it will be interesting to know
what interest Atlanta is to have in the
new building, or how much it is to
cost her. The Atlanta Constitution
figures it out as follows:
First, bonds is ued — f 160,000
Keat bonds 36,00
Mortgage fl. fa cancelled . SO,000
Interest. 35,000
New bonds to pay for old capitol — 55,<>z5
Value of City Hail Park 200,0.u
Total $506,625
As the act of ,the Legislature au
thorizing the. new capitol coaid not
go into effect until the city of Atlanta
had cancelled and surrendered “any
alleged lien*’ held by the city or any
oue under it, against the present cap
itol building, the City Council prompt
ly met and cancelled the $80,000 mort
gage fi. fa. which the city held as as
signee of the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company.
Georgia will now have a respectable
capital building, and Atlanta will cer
tainly pay her share of the expense of
erecting it.
The Austro-German Alliance.
The recent aggressive movements of
Russia and France, especially the lat
ter, in conquest of new territory in
Africa and the East have led to the
present Austro- German alliance. The
programme of the alliance is as fol
lows:^ Austro-Gcrman alliance is
directed against Russia and France.
In the event of war between Germany
and France, Austria is to maintain an
armed neutrality. In the event of
war between Austria and Russia,
Germany is to do likewise. If a third
power attack Germany or Austria, the
neutrality will be converted into ac
tive co-operation. These wars aud
warlike, preparations will continue
until the tax-ridden people of Europe
throw' off the useless monarchal yoke
and work out the destinies of their
various countries in peace and quiet
ness, unhampered by kingly ambition,
and the burden of immense standing
armies.

Midville.
Read in the light furnished by this
communication, evidently written by
ati expert in the bn sin ess, the secret
of several recent failures among the
turpentine men of this section becomes
an open one. The Albany correspon
dent of the Atlanta Constitution, if
we remember, was the first to call at
tention to the great 'inroad * that were
being made by this no longer new in
dustry upon the farm labor of this sec
tion. The wages offered at the tur*
pentine stills for bands have been,
heretofore, so far in advance of any
that could be given bv ihe farmers, it
is no wonder that, amorg other causes
of depression the, latter have had to
contend with of late, was the para
mount one of a scarcity of labor.
When the turpentine distillers were
everywhere offering wages at the rate
of $22 per month for able-bodied
hands it could oe seen that the pros
pect of retaining them long on the
forms was a very remote one. And
this, we may add, goes far towards
explaining the all but universal eager
ness with which the farmers in this
section of Georgia have taken hold of
truck and diversified farming within
the past year or two. Anything that
promised equal, or even greater re
turns than cotton, with less labor,
was after all, the main line held out
to truck farming.
The evil, however, If it be one, as
can be seen by the above communica
tion, emphasized by several recent
failures among the turpentine firms,
beginning to work its own cure.
The recklessnees as to details, with
which all new and promising enter
prises are engaged in, particularly j
when under the stimulus of keen com
petition, is bound sooner or later to
wreck itself, and leave th‘e way clear
for plodding industry ami more cau
tions methods.
Meanwhile, it is far from agree
able for us to note anything like dis
aster, temporary or permanent to any
of the new and growing industries and
products of Southwest Georgia. It
was with great satisfaction that we
read several days ago, in the columns
of the Savannah Mews, a comparative
statement of the shipments of naval
stores, such as rosin and turpentine,
from the i>orls of Savannah and Wil
mington, N. C., during the past year,
from which it appeared that Geor
gia’s principal seaport was far in ad
vance of that of the “tar heel” State.
The fact, howeve**, that the present
depression in naval stores can be trac
ed directly to a recent decline in
prices, and to habits of reckless ex
travagance among the producers,
shows that the depression is only tem
porary. In fact, one that every year
befalls some one or more of the other
industries of the count r}\
increasing turpentine interest. Two;
distilleries in successful operation,
with numbers of neat cottages, streets ;
bud off with more than usual regular- j
fly, unmistakably proves that they ar*» j
men of capacity and untiring devotion j
to business.

The Education of the Negro.
Some of our exchanges who have
been raking up dead issues aud en
deavoring, by fomenting strife be
tween t he races, for the purpose of re
tarding the education of the negroes,
will find the following facts regard
ing the taxes paid by the colored peo
ple an unanswerable argument against
the statement that the whites pay for
the negroes’ education. The Consti
tution, in speaking of State School
Commissioner Orr and the public
schools, says:
It is said he has made a careful com
putation of the taxes paid by the col
ored people of the State and compared
this with the sum which is annually
expended out of the school fund for
the education of the colored children
of the State. He finds that the color
ed people, iu poll taxes and taxes on
property, pay into the State treasury
annually more than is paid on the ed
ucation ol their children. Hence it
is a fallacy to assert that the white
people are taxed to educate the ne
groes. But if it be said they must
also pay for the snpport of the gov
ernment and the maintainance of its
police establishment, it is found that
llie ratio of non-tax payers for those
purposes is no less among the blacks
than among the whites.
The conclusion is that the State
gains strength and advancement an
nually by the education ot all the
people, that the negroes at least pay
for their own schools and that wisdom
and justice demand the exact appor
tionment. of the school funds to the
end that all mayieceive its best ben
efits.

The New Postage Stamp.
The followin'? dispatch from Wash
ington shows that owing to the great
demand for the new two cent stamps
manj' of the smaller offices which have
not sent in their requisitions in season
will rot be supplied upon the date
when the new postal law eoes into ef
fect We need have no fear at this
point however, as Albany is an im
portant office, and our live postmaster
will he sure to have the necessary sup
ply. The telegram is as follows:
“The requisitions upon the l*ost
Office
the new two cent stamps are so large
that the contractors are unable to sup
ply the demand, and the department
consequently is reducing the amounts
called for in the requisitions. The
contractors at present are able to fur
nish one and a-half million stamps
daily, bnt this is much less than the
number demanded. Daring the early
part of the present month the depart
ment distributed large numbers of old
two cent stamps among the smaller
post offices, yet it is believed that with
the utmost exertions of the department
ftj^Jy one-third of the post offices of
the country will not have an adequate
supply ot stamps upon the date when
the law providing for the new letter
rate goes into operation. The depart
ment officials do not fear any serious
obstruction of business on that ac
count, as the offices lacking supplies
will be of the smallest grade, where
postmasters, from ingnorance of the
law or neglect,-have failed to forward
requisitions in season.
