the progress of a gay geruiau. at tlte

ilurhig which the watchers sat beside
the remains of Mr. J. S. I verson, which
lay in a ri>om on the same floor, was
shocking comment ou tlie heartless-

Mr. Iverson had been one of the
leaders in the gay ami fashionable
world arouud Idm, following “with
eagerness tlie phautotn of pleasure,
together witli many whose time beat

The hollow mockery of the pledges
of society friendships .tad been, mutu
ally exchanged lietween many of the
gay dancers, who thronged that hall
of pleasure, ami him whose cold clay

To thoughtlessness, rather than an
utter disregsird of the proprieties of
•itch occasions, must lie ascribed this
seeming outrage, for such Imrd-heart-
edtiess can be accounted for uuder no
other reasonable hypothesis.
Thoughtlessness is one of the grow
ing evils of the times, and Its sail n*-
ilts are discernible on every hand.
Men. women ami children manifest a
heedlessiless that is criminal, and it
rtfiemres against them iu tlie estima
tion of those whose good opinion in
valuable.
Due consideration is not given to the
subjects that m«»st concern our teuip<»-

ever liestowcd upon tlie interests of
eternity. Men are walking the paths

A Fight on the Atlanta Wine Rooms
Tlie wine rooms, where, ostensibly,
domestic wines, and domestic wines
inly, are aoiil, have virtually defeated
tlte real enforcement of prohibition, in
Atlanta, and we see. from die Cousti-
Uitkui of yesterday that |>r. Felton
has declare*! Svar upon them. The
light was started In tlie Fiuniiee Com
nilttee of tlie House of .Representatives
ot Wednesday.
The Constiuitiou has lids to say
about it:
For several days past the finance
committee lias been engaged i.i the
preparation of the general tax bill,
and yesterday as it was about to chise
its work. Dr. Felton proposed an item
fixing a $10,000 license on all wine
rooms. After a spirited discussion it
was voted dowu and tlie bill will be
reported to the House without any ref
ere lice to the matter, except a provis
ion for such taxation as is now paid.
Dr. Felton gave notice that he would
propose the amendment in the Jloitsc
and urge its adoption.
This means a spirited contest over
Atlanta’s wine rooms. While tlie
measure is general in Its scope, it is
really inteuded as a blow at the wiiie-
rooius of Atlanta, as there ure ttotie in
tlte other cities of tlie Stale.
It is said that the Fulton delegation
will be unanimous in opfiosUious to
the measure, as Ixitli prohibitionist*
and anti-prohibitionists of tnecitv liav*-
expressed a willingness to abide bj’ the

The uuinber of trains, on all South

and with an active s|»irit of enterjirise

There is no reasonable excuse for
the snbscrtliers of tlie Atlanta Consti
tution ami Macon Telegraph in this
section not getting tlieir morning’s

The fattlt lies in tlte fact that the de
partment refuses to provide a mail
agent for the train leaving Atlanta at
3 a. m„ daily, which arrives in Albany
at 10:25 a. lit.
The mail service of tlie Smith must

^MWaal -unto the -day" is the
greatest evil spirit that impells them
hi a cour.-e .of reckless disregard of
provision for future wants. The sad
experience of one year is forgotten,
by the time work is beguu as a basis
for supplying present necessities. The
history of each year is but a repetition
of the record of the improvidence of
the last.
The scanty living lint tills people
have,and tlie iuabiiiiy to procure work
at this dull *ea*ou for agricultural pur-
«ui s is a sirong teuijitauou to them
to procure food, fuel and raiment Un

uiiuils of die peopic. |i is a lamenta
ble state of affair*, and tlie colored
peopic would deserve more sympathy
if (heir cuuducl was not directly trace
able to'tiieir improvident aiid Indolent

The News axi> Advertiser writes
this article a«lvi*edlr, with tlie hope
ami intention of avVakiug a degree of
uierest that will insure a thoughtful
consideration of tlu*ir present condi
tion to the end of Ua amelioration.
The white |NH>ple of tiie South, and
esjivcially of this section, are deeply
interested in the belterifjentof the coa
lition of the colored jieoplc, aud the
interests of the two closes are recipro
cal. Tim white pro/dc Hilly recognize
till*, and honestly wish to hasten their
moral, intellectual and temporal im-
pruveincnt.
This mniii try seems beautifully
:ul:ipted to every necessity for tlie ue-
gro’s advancement. Health is never
je*»|iardised, hy liieiu, by tl«e summer’s
heal or toil, and tin y can work with
impunity at all seasons. 'They live at
so liule cxfieuso tiiat industry and
economy open* up a sure and safe road
to a quick eotii|>eteiicy.
There is something wanting, though,
in tlieir management that must be
corrected before, a* a peojile, they can
liojie to elevate ihciiiM*Ivesupou higher
planes. The better and more success
ful class among them must seek to re
form them in many resjiecrs, but prin-
cijmlly. looking to tlieir temporal in
terest, inculcate in them a spirit of
saving.
One change Is atisolutely essential
to their success; the txilored people
must ce vse to leave the country aud
clog tlie outskirts ot tiie cities. Tliey
are endowed with muscle and capa
bilities of agriculturists, and it is
their divinely appointed avocation.
Tliey an* both healthier aud happier In
tlie |iursiilts of the husbandman, and
should recognize that agriculture
the open gate tlirough which they may
ex|>ect to enter the walks of prosperi
ty. But success will never reward
them if they continue in their improvi
dent habits.
The custom of changing homes
everv year militates seriously against
their success, and they must leanr to
feel the attachment that binds to the
one sjHit called home. To do this they
must either Iniy or make long leases of
laud, but not without lieiug able to
start w ith enough to prevent the ever
greedy never ccasing interest from
eating them up. If they are not now
prepared tor Mils, let them sign a con
tract,and,with their wives and sons and
daughters work and save with the one
protnineii* i lea of obtaining the where
with to buy a home.
TheNkw h and Advertiser sees the
evidence of itiijirovidcuce on every
hand, and as a well wisher of every
class makes these suggestions in tiie
spirit of friendly interest with the hope
that it may arouse the few who are
siit*cessful into an effort to imjiress tlie
s upon the causes of the present
business depression, and offered so
lutions of tbe existing troubles. While
doubtless many causes contribute to
the decline of agricultural prosperity
yet the most influential is the tenant
system that prevails in this section.
The tenants being largely negroes,
the term of ^tlie lease is rarely ever
louger than one year; and tliey feel no
interest In keeping up the place or
cultivating the land with a view of it*
improvement; never enriching it for
fear the- cultivator of the following
year will enjoy some of the advant
ages of the fertilization.
The c*otton seed is sold and nothing
that is taken from tiie soil Is returnedj
tints, year by year, tlie soil is being im
poverished. The fact i> al*o well
tablished that many tenants iu this
section cousume more iu a rear titan
they make; which I* a constant drain
on the resources of tlie coutry.
The News and Advertiser.*uggeste
a change iu the system to the end that
landowners will require of tenants an
improvement rather than allow a Ue-
terioation in buildtugaiid fencing, stip
ulate that so much manure sliall be used
tiie acre; and then, by a careful sur-
viellauce bring expenses down below
tlie cost of cultivation aud necessary ex
penses. If this can’t lie done, the lauds
had better be turned out and allowed
to contribute to the forest wealth of
the country.
This Is the most serious question
with which agricultural districts, with
a large per cent, of negro j»opulation
have to contend.
Of course many of tiie colored
people ot our seqlion are frugal, in
dustrious and are accumulating
money, and some buying landsoftheir
own, but nine-ientlis are changing
their homes every year, leaving dilap

but a load or uucotlcctable debts with
them.

arrived in America, which is his sec

favors building a railroad dirough the

Ex-Governor Bloxham is generally
regarded as the successful candidate
for the place of Senator Jones, of Flor*
Ida. A correspondent makes this pen
picture of him: “He has the faculty
of making people think when lie meets
them that he was never quite so glad
to see any other fellow in all his life.
“I have seen him,” said a well known
Florida gentleman, talking to a cor
respondent of Idm, “1 have seen him
meet a man on die. street aud riiake
hands widi, him iu such an effusive
way as to make you think lie had met
an ohl friend. And, on leaving him,
he would ask who that man was.”
One of the worst outrages that ever
sliocked tlie public senses occurred on
Lake Micliigau on the 29th of Novem
ber. A schooner jiassed the life-sav
ing station at Point Sanble and hung
out the distress signal, and a crew pm
out in a lifeboat to render assistance,
hut, a lien within a short distance, the
*eiiooner took iu the signal and passed
on. The lifeboat capsized, and three
of tbe crew were lost. The circum
stance justifies the belief that it was a
piece of malicious mischief that re
sulted disastrously. Tbe government
should make a thorough investigation
and hold the perpetrators of this
jiasrly joke to a strict account for it*
result..?. !/ . •
Th* Atlanta papers of Saturday
bring ua tbe particulars of the. moat
horrible double tragedy ever enacted
in Georgia. Bob Hill killed his broth
er, Touy Hill, aud then killed him
self. Bob and Tony Hill were the
sons of Hon. D. Pike Hill, who once
lived in Dougherty couuty and prac
ticed law iu Albany. The tragedy
happeued in tlie room of the
two brothers at 42)£ North Broad
street, at half past J2 o’clock on Fri
day. They were locked hi tlieir room
together, and, while no one saw* the
tragedy, tbe theory, is that .Bob
first shot bis brother and then
shot himself. They were both
well known and pojmlar young
men in Atlanta, and the tragedy cre
ated a great sensatiou throughout the
city. They were very devoted to
each other, but when either or both
were uuder tiie influence of liquor, as
was frequently the case, they some
times quarreled and fought. Liquor
was evidently the cau«e of tlie trouble
which ended both of their lives ou
Friday. Bob was in the room,and
Touy caiue iu drank. Bob commenced
abusing him for it, and Tony struck
him. Then tlie fight began. Bob had
his pistol aud shot his brotiier through
tlie heart. Seeing w hat lie had done,
he placed tlie jiistol to his own head
and fired. The Constitution publishes
all tlie known particulars of the doable
tragedy, and lias the following timely
editorial comment upon it: “We have
uever recorded a sadder tragedy than
the one that takes leading place in our
news colunii s to-day. Bob and Tony
Hill were lovable fellow’s—warm
hearted, brave, generous, impulsive.
Bob, the younger, was a particularly
winsome boy. Wlien he left the uni
versity lie was handsome almost to the
point of effeminate beauty, gentle,
tender and brilliant. He w*us beloved
by all who krjevr him. and the future
certainly looked bright for him.
Though his better_traits were clouded
by the intemperate habit that fastened
inexorably on his life, he held many
of Ids friends to the last, who looked
below the surface and saw* that liis
heart was still right. If, as is prob
able, he killed - his brotiier, it
was .something of the old love and
courage of bis younger days
that flashed In the pistol he
placed against his own temple.
PerhajM a deadlier example of the
demoniacal power of whiskej' was
never given. Hero were two brothers
devotedly attached to each other,
riiey were gay fellows of sunny temp
er, agreeable babbits, genial disposi
tion. Their interests were in com
mon. Nowhere did they clash. They
had no standing qu irrel or grievance.
Their brotherly love was uuasual.
Either would have stood up cheerfully
aud died for tiie other. And yet, wfjh
no reason but tbe unreason of whisky,
no passion but tlie infernal craze with
which liquor fills the veins, they lock
the door of tlieir common room, and
in less than a minute are lying across
eaeh'other—dead! Tlie |»atlu>* of in
temperance and the crime that follows
it, no thought can <athom and no
tongue can tell. Such tragedies as this
but disclose its Infinite depth and
blackness*as a flash of lightning that
cats into the core of a midnight
storm.”

TAX NOTICE.
Atlanta had a primary eYctlon for
county officers, on Thursday, and,
cording to an Atlanta special to tbe
Savannah News, John Barleycorn
played a prominent and disgraceful
part. Tlie special says: “The ra
agers began the count at 6:30 o’clock
and at miduiglit have ouly counted
300 votes. The couut cannot possibly
be completed before morning. All
this is owing to tlie fact that several of
the clerks engaged in tlie count are quite
drunk, ami insist ii|mui counting tick
et by ticket instead of assorting the
ticket*. Tlte liquor at rahlulght has
about given out, and tlie police, who
are gunrtUng the door, will allow
noiiody to come out or go in, and will
see lo it that no more liquor is carried
in though some of the clerks are stQl
clamoring for more liqor. If )M>ssib]e
tiie managers will be kept together
until the count is finished. Jus
tice Butt, who presides, Is sober, as are
also some of the uia lingers, but they
find it quite difficult to control the
drunken clerks. No election ever
held In Atlnuta lias been disgraced by
such conduct. At (he door Isa crowd
of citizens who roundly denounce the
proceedings, but are satisfied that
enough sober men remain in tlie room
to insure a fair couut. Tlie result <*f
th«* election cannot be known before
noon to-morrow.”
