SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1883.
Flobida oranges are maturing
slowly, but the prospects for a good
crop are considered excellent. The
yield is expected to be very much
larger than last year’s.
The ‘•sights’’ on_jhc eotton cop
have been raised over half a million
bales by moderate judges. Some
place the increase above this, owing
to favorable . weather for the “top
crop.” , ;
Auotbeb negro has been “wounded
in the house of his friends,” as Fred
Douglass puts it. A “respectable and
well dressed colored man” has just
been refused a scat in the parquetie
of a Chicago theatre.
The Macon Telegraph, say* that a
telegram has been received in that city
to the effect that in answer to a sum*
mons from General Toombs, Bishop
Fierce went to Washington on San*
day last and received the General into
the Methodist church.
A becen't English letter says: “The
rage for travel in America is not yet
at its height I anticipate that next
spring it will be as much the English
fashion to go to America as to Switz
erland. The reports of the English
tourists here will increase the wish to
see America.”
MosTUoKEar, Ala, has begun the
enforcement of the ordinance prohib
iting the sale or giving, within the
city limits, of any objectionable print,
picture, publication, writing or print
ed matter. The dealers complied very
promptly and cheerfully. This cru
sade against indecenry does honor to
a community.
The New York Tribune expresses
surprise at the recent Ku-klux convic
tions in Georgia, and ssys: “But what
ever the explanation may be, the fact
of the conviction is an encouraging
sign; though the fact of the outrages,
on the other hand, is not so. The
best proofs of progress the South can
give now are the Ku-klux convictions
and interstate fairs.”
Brother Lewis, of the Macon Tel
egraph, is hereby informed that what
the.“oldest inhabitant” said about what
would happeu “when the wind got
away from the east” has not happened
in these parts yet. If it were not for
our beneficent artesian wells we
would now have to resort to Flint
river for water. The drouth in this
city and region is indeed getting to be
a serious matter.
Several parties who deposited $1
with the former postmaster of San
Antonio, for the safe return of their
keys at the time they took lock boxes,
are now asking who is to refund their
money.’ Many do not wish to con
tinue the use of the boxes, and it ap
pears that no provision his been
made under the new regime for re
turning the amourt due depositors
as per contract, on the safe return of
keys.
It is said that glass is gradually bc-
gining to take the place of wnnd and
iron in the construction of bridges in
Eugland. The inventor makes blocks
of glass, which he hardens by a spe
cial process. In solidity it is said to
leave nothing to be desired. The ex
periments already made have given
surprising results, and the cost
below that of bridges of wood or iron.
Moreover, the glass cannot be injured
by insects, like wood, nor rusted like
iron.
Senator Anthont writes an elab
orate article in the North American
Jieview taking the ground that “the
property qualification is the best that
can bo established,” and, that on the
whole, “it excludes more of the un
worthy and fewer of the worthy than
any other test that can be devised.”
The Baltimore Sun sarcastically adds
that “this same Senator was one of
the first and most pronounced advo
cates of the wholesale enfranchise
mclit of the colored people.
The Yankees are a great people for
suits for damages. One of the latest
and most ridiculous suits of this kind
is in Philadelphia, where a woman
has sued a comely young widow for
$20,000 for alienating her husband’s
affections. It may be imagined that,
should the case be made out, the jury
will have a nice calculation to make
to fix the amount of damages. But
then, few juries can be found that
would give a verdict against a comely
young widow.
A special from Washington gives
color to the rumor that there is trou
ble in the Cabinet of the President. It
would appear that the Secretary of
State thinks the Secretary of the Navy
interferes in matters appertaining to
the Stato Department; - Mr. Folger
considers that bis department is being
pried into by pragmatical parlies, and
Secretary Lincoln lately said, accord
ing 'to the same authority, that there
had been unwarranted interferences
by the Secretary of the interior and
him of the Navy in matters belonging
solely to the war arm of the govern
ment. The President is reported to
have adjourned the meeting at which
all of these sparks were blown into
life.

One of the silly extremes to which
church quarrel* can be carried comes
from Wall pack Centre, Sussex county
N. J. A new church was to be built
and a squabble ensued as to what part
of the town it should be constructed
in. After the edifice was completed
oue of the factions found fault with
the organist Some annoymous let
ters were distributed, which attacked
her character. Then a new organist
was engaged. When this successor
went to church to perform her duties,
she was annoyed to find the instru
ment looking like some monster bird.
It had been tarred and feathered.
And yet this is an age of tolerance and
civilization. The whole matter be

this does not in the slightest degree

Onr PostofBce and Hail Service.
There has been a great deal of com
plaint in this city of late about the ir
regularity and an reliability of the
mails, and the News and Advertiser
is frequently asked .why it don’t.set
up a howl in, behalf of its constitu
ents that will be heard all the way to
Washington.
That groas negilence or incompeten
cy exists somewhere in the mail ser
vice centreing at Albany there can be
no doubt, for mail matter goes wrong,,
or is delayed in some way, almost
every day. Where the fault lies, or
who it is that is responsible for the
negligence or incompetei cy complain
ed of, we are unable, at this writing,
to say; but that there is just cause for
complaint we are satisfied.
It is a fact well known to every one
who has had occasion, to patronize
Uncle Sam's mail service in this pari
of the State, that there are a good
many uneducated, incompetent color
ed route agents in ihe service, and
some of the annoyances to which ref
erence is now made is no doubt due
to their stupidity; but there is good
reason for suspecting tbat some of
the Postmasters are not altogether
blameless.
As has already been remarked, the
complaints that are being made by the
patron* of the mail service in this part
of Ihe State are not groundless, and
the News and Advertiser, in behalf
of the people of this city, hereby calls
upon the Department at Washington
to send au inspector down this way to
trace up the incompetent or neglect
ful place holders, and have them re
moved, unless they can be made to
mend their ways.
Threatening to Leave the “House of
Their Friends.”
The Illinois negroes, who are suffi
ciently numerical to be the political
balai ce of power in that State, are
threatening to leave the “grand old
party” and vote the Democratic ticket.
At a meeting of colored men, in Chi
cago, we learn from^the Tribune that
Rev. Mi. ±*olk remarked that “he
would vote for the Democratic ticket,
or the devil's ticket, if he had one,
sooner than vote tor that of a party
which told him to be a man to get his
vote, and after they got it said to
him he had no rights;” the same gen
tleman’s ministerial calling also sug
gested to him to denounce the decision
as an “act of the devil.” The Rev. Mr.
Pond made himself rcspocsiblo for
the rather startling statement that
“colored men were in the habit ol pros
trating themselves and allowing white
men to walk over them.*- Mr. Lloyd
G. Wheeler professional office seeker,
reminded his colored brethren that
“they are still armed with a most for
midable weapon which they cannot be
deprived of—theballot/’awl advised
them “to handle it so fearless!!}
that they [the Republicans] may learn
its power and appreciate its import
ance.”
Carp.
The statement is going the ronnds
of the press that several hundred
thousand carp are soon to be distrib
uted throughout the South. We hope
that a good share of them will find
their way into Southwest Georgia.
We have ponds all through this rA
gion which aro admirably adapted to
the propagation of the carp, and this
excellent fish can be had here in abun
dance without expense and with very
little trouble. The carp is a lazy,
quiet fellow, who thrives best in quiet
ponds, such as^ al most every farmer
has or can easily make on bis land in
Southwest Georgia, and, as he grows
rapidly and to fine eating and fine fish
ing, his cultivation could be made
most profitable in this section. A
good many carp ponds are to be found
in the upper part of tfrs* State/and
the writer bad the pleasure of visiting
several of them during the past sum
mer. We saw enough to* thoroughly
convince us tbat carp can be reared in
greater abundance and at less expense
than chickens, and that they are supe
rior to fowl9 of almost any klud for
food. Another thing that we learned
about carp is, that they are very game
fish, and are easily caught with h>ok
and line.

Atlanta. Constitution: The Kimball
bouse association, through its commit
tee on rebuilding, petitioned the South
ern railway and steamship association
at its recent meeting in this city to ac
cept the Kimball house bonds at par
value in payment of freight on all ma
terials used in construction of the new
hotel, which may be transported by the
lines in the association. Captain W. G.
Raoul, president of ihe Central road
and the lines under its control, agreed
to this so far as concerns the proportion
of freight his lines would receive, and
ersare out ibis year than last, and the
people who heretofore scorned the
doctrine and tfce men who promulgat
ed it, have-now lent* willing car to
the teachings of ’.he missionaries.
There were about 700 in the party
who left tLis city last fall for Utah,
but thiR year it will be safe to esti
mate the number at nearly 1,000. Of
course a great many are not in a con
dition to leave their Southern homes
now, but numbers of them will go
next spring. The total number con
verted this year will be about 2.000.
The converts will meet in Chatta
nooga about the 10th or 15th of No
vember, and will then proceed to
their homes among the Mormons in
Utah. Mr. Haws speaks with no lit
tle degree of satisfaction concerning
their work in the South, and predicts
that it will be two-fold next year.
A Civil Rights Candidate for Presi
dent
A new Presidential star has ap
peared in the political firmament.
Whether it will prove a planet or
nothing more than a comet cannot ye!
be foretold, but its name is Harlan,
the Justice of the Sopreme Court,
whose dissenting opinion in regard t»
the civil rights law has attracted to
ward him so inuch attention and es
pecially influenced the colored volet
so much in his favor.
A Washington dispatch announcing
the appearance of this new Richmond
says:
“I tell you that Harlan is likely to
become the strongest candidate that
the party could put up.” said a gentle-
nan in political circles here. “The
Republican party was likely to lose a
good deal of strength by this decision
lor the colored vote was anxious fot
an excuse to cut loose from it any
way, but if they take up Harlan as
their candidate next year, instead ot
the decision hurting them it will
••ring back every colored voter that
they ever had and bring in what few
nad been with the Democrats before. -
It is their only hope. Unless they cat
carry some of the Southern States the
chances are decidedly against them,
and with the defection from theii
ranks which the civil rights, decision
was likely to make there was of course
no hope of their carrying a Southern
State. Witlt Harlan ami a fair vole
they could carry Virginia. Mississippi.

A dynamite explosion.

PITTSBURG, October 29.—Yesterday
morning at Brooks’ tunnel, on the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, 85 miles
from this city, 1,200. pounds of dyna
mite exploded, killing five men, con
stituting the crew of a freight train
which was side-tracked a short distance
from the scene of the explosion. The
men were walking along the track near
where the dynamite was stored.
Pittsbukg, Oct. 2D, 10 : p. nt.—The
rail read company lias been strengthen
ing and widening a tunnel, and some
distance outside the magazine had been
erected, in which wa6 stored 1,200
pounds of dynamite to be used for
blasting. The freight train had jusi
passed through t»*e tunnel and was
side-tracked to allow a passenger train
to pass. Four of the crew of the
freight train walked buck to the vicin
ity of 1 the magazine, aud were engaged
in conversation with the watchman
when people in the vicinity were
startled by a terrific concussion. Houses
for fifteen miles around were shaken
to thefr foundations* and windows for
a distance of seven miles were shatter
ed. The horror-stricken people ran
from their houses, and; it was found
that the dynamite had exploded..
Everything near by g.ive evidence ot
the terrible force ot the explosion.
Trees were uprooted, huge rocks torn
asunde'r, and telegraph poles for half a
mile were prostrated. Nothing re
mained of the magazine and the men
who stood near it just before the ex
plosion were missing. Portions ot
cheir bodies, ineluding legs, arms;
hands and heads, havebeen picked up a
mile distant, but so disfigured aa to be
unrecognizable. The names of .only
three of the victims are known. Tliey
arc: George Reynolds, engineer; Tice,
a brakeman, and Hammond, a switch
man. The cause of the explosion is en
veloped in mystery, and as the five
men who might have thrown ionic,
light on the accident are dead, it |s
probable the cause will never be known.
Not far from the scene a gun was
found, and it. is supposed that one ot
the victims discharged it, the concus
sion causing the dynamite to explode.
An inquest was held to-day by tin
Coroner, and a verdict of accidental
death was rendered. Great excitement
prevails, and hundreds of people have
gone to the soeue of the disas^r.

grave and laid in her coffin, she pre
sented such a natural vnd life-like ap
pearance that he was unwilling to have
her interred. The family insisted that
she was dead, but a young gentleman
to whom she had beeu engaged remon
strated so decidedly that the interment
was postponed after the minister and
friends had assembled on the second
morning. On the third morning the
burial was again deferred. For though
the body lay perfectly motionless in
the casket without evincing any sign
of life, they hesitated to put it in the
ground while it continued to look so
natural.
The young physician had used every
menus that he knew ot to restore ani
mation if there was life left, or if pos
sible to detect some sign of it. Noth
ing which he had tried had discovered
any sign of remaining vitality, aud
they had at length determined to delay
the burial no longer. It was to be the
next morning, the fourth day. The
young physician requested T>r. to
go with iiim on the morrow and look
at the body.
“The following morning,” says Dr.
, “I accompanied my friend to the
house where the body of the young
lady lay. When we reached the house
the friends of the family had already
arrived, and the officiating minister
had gone- through part of the service
in the room where the body lay, a pray
er, I think it was, and the family had
taken their last farewell of the beauti
ful girl. When I stepped into the
room the undertaker had the casket lid
in his hands ready to screw it down.
No sooner did I see the face in the
casket than I felt sure that life was not
extinct. There was not the faintest
pulse that I could detect, but when I
laid my ear close upon her breast I was
confident that 1 heard the slightest
heart beat. So certain was 1 then that
i did not hesitate a moment to apply
the proper remedies. Imagine it you
can the scene when the young lady ot
tered suddenly a piercing scream, and
rose up iu her coffin. It was the most
awful note of agony that I hope ever to
hear. The room wits filled with friends,
beside^the family and domestics. Sev
eral ladies fainted outright; some
screamed and went into hysterics, the
servants ran out into the yard, and I
confess that, though I was expecting to
s.^e her revive, my own nerve;
were so shaken by the suddenness of
the occurrence that it was with the
greatest difficulty I could stand. Her
face, too, which a moment before had
worn that smile of peaceful sleep,
writhed as 6he rose up in the most
dreadful contortions. I have never
seeii a face depict' so much terror and
agony. It seemed as if all the mental
suffering which she had endured
through those four terrible nights
found vent in that one cry and look.
In a few moments her pent-up feelings
had found relief, and she then got out
of the coffin and down from the table
with very little assistance. By this
time the tumult in the room had in a
measure subsided, and she then told
us what was the most fearful part ot he
whole experiance, that she had been
entirely conscious the entire time. She
had heard all that was said and knew
all that was going on around her.
She had felt herself being shrouded
and laid in the coffin, had heanl her
friends weeping over her before the
coffin lid *h«»uld close upon her for
ever,, and thought she should surely be
bnrried alive. Meanwhile, though she
tried her utmost, she was unable to
move or utter a sound. Her friends
look upon her as given back to them
from the grave, and, indeed, in the.
country around, it is reported
I really did raise her from
the dead, and after I left they
told me that the country j»eop!e
flocked in crowds to see me. What the
young lady’s feelings are it is useless
to try to imagine, and what they were
during the four d.ays and nights in
which she lay in the coffin, awaiting to
be buried alive, too terrible to contem
plate.”
Dr. —— will not allow bis name to
be mentioned in connection with this
incident, but, knowing him personally,
we are able to vouch for all that he
told us. lie is of the opinion that pre
mature bdrlal is very rare, but thinks
it occurs sufficiently often for people to
be guarded against it.
The Church and the Stage.
Augusta New*.
While orthodex Christians in this
country generally frown on the sta&e
and all itshelongings, it Is not to be dis
guised that the prejudice agaiust actors
and theatres is uot as marked as it
was. say twenty years ago. One of
the most beautiful and successful thea
tres in New; York is owned by a couple
of clergymen, who also are proprietors
of the Church man, the official organ of
the Episcopal demonination. The
Rev. Robert Oolyer and other liberal,
as well Episcopal clergymen, openly
visit the New York theatres, and no
scandal is caused thereby. In Eng
land the bishop and clergymen of the
national church attend operas and
theatres the same as other people; but
more remarkable; than all, the Cbris-
tain World, the leading London organ
of the Nonconformists, recently con
tained a leading editorial, giving Mr.
Henry Irving a “God speed” apropos
of his departure to America. Mr.
George Macdonald, the English novel-
ist, is a clergyman, yet he frequently
appears as an amateur actor on semi
public accasions. The theatre is grow
ing in popularity in this country. A
large space is given to dramatic news
in all our journals. It is for Christian
people to say what course they shall
pursue in tbe future. It is idle to ignore
the stage or to condemn it by whole
sale. After al', why not try and mor
alize it and tree it from objeetional as
sociations?

An InteresUos Problem tor Farm

Some Courier.
“Fourteen years ajio I brought this
place for $9,500. 1 h id no money
ami was Allowed live years time In
which to pay for it, agreeing to pay
.eight per cent interest oil the the
amount unpaid at the end of each
yeai. For those fi vc vea rs I devoted
most of my attention to raising sup
plies, onlr planting thirty acres nt
cotton. But on these thirty ac»*ce 1
made money anp paid off my indebt
edness mi time. Feeling free from
all moneyed obligations, I decided to
experiment a little, and so commenced
**acli year to increase ttiv cotton acre
age until I got it (ip 125 acres,* when
I became convinced of the fact that 1
was losing money by v ncreasing my
cotton crop. My profits were redue
ed in* pro^ortiod to the increase
every year; and so this year I have
returned to a forty-acre cotton patch,
and-will make a lit tie money, not
withstanding the disastrous seasons.
Now what I want vbu to tel! me is,
why. amid I not make as much clear
money oh eighty acres of cotton as I
can on forty?*
