Pur-uaut to the pubiislietl call for a
nu-ctiug of die Confederate veteran
Although tlie 4tii of July was a very
quiet day iu Albany, tht 5th was one j u f Douglierty county to assemble at
of uiort unusual iuterest. At 7 o’clock the Court House, on Saturday, for
a. m. a ripple of excitement thrilled
Broad street as Martin Davis, tlie well-
known colored wagon driver ol Colo
nel Primus IV. Jones, swept through
the length of the street In a rattlitfg
trot behind two elegant gray mules
drawing a wagon loaded w ith the first
“Ahead of Texas!” “Hurrah for
Primus !** “Old Georgia to the front
Such exclamations as there attested
the deep Interest the community
manifested In Albany’s receiving the
first bale of new cotton in the United
Speculation was rife as to which
warehouse of the several worthy firms
would receive the bale, and the public
enthusiasm abated In its manifestation
and the Interest centered on* “Which
warehouse will get It?”
Conscious, but apparently unmind
ful of the excitement be bad cn
Martin, who has driven in the first
bale for Mr. Jooes for the past five or
six years, drove as proodlv as if be
had been the liveried coachman ot a
King; “keeping In the mldlde of Ibe
road” until be readied Washington
street, and then turned to the right,
stopping in front of the warehouse of
S. R. Weston A Son, who had han
dled, so successfully, Mr. Jooes’first
bale for the past season. Mr. B. L.
Weston, the energetic junior of this
sterling business firm, seemed to stand
an inch or two higher, and took
maud of the occasion with the dignity
mud judgement of a veteran.
The bale turned the beam at 453
pounds, and the investigating gimlet
ol tlie sampler pulled out a wad of
low* middling cotton on whatever side
tl*c bale was bored. Experts pro
nounced tlie staple fine. It being of
sn Inch long, which showed that It
was well matured cotton.
Busy preparations for aoctiouing
off the bale were entered upon with
alacrity, and at 10 o'clock a crowd bail
collected to attend what proved to be
one of the most spirited contests at an
auction ever witnessed in Albany.
On the ceutre table. In the office of
tlie warehouse, punch and plaiu lem
onade were fouud to refresh the inter
ested spectators.
Mr. E. H. Barnes, the auctioneer
for tlie occasion, gaining the attention
of the crowd, cried: “Oh, yes! Oh,
yes! what do I bear bio for the first
bale of new cotton raised by Primus
W. Jones, classed low middling and
weighing 453 pounds?”
Mr. Jacob Lorch fired the first shot
with a 12-cent bid, but It did not bring
down the game.as Mr. C. Wessolowsky
followed with 13. Mr. A. P. Coles,
representing Coles, Simpson A Co.,
bid 14 cents; and then followed one ot
the most lively scenes of spirited bid
ding we ever remember to have wit
nessed, until Mr. Lorch bid 32?£ cents,
followed by Mr. Coles at 22*£. But
Mr. Wessolowsky, not to be outbid, put
in 33 cents, and the bale was cried off
to him auiid the shouts of the as
sembled witnesses.
After the auction Mr. C. Wessolows
ky sold the bale to Messrs. Cedes, Simp
kins A Co., who shipped it to Coles,
Simpkins A Co. at Brunswick, thence
it wa* expressed to Messrs. 'Wood
ward A Stillman, New* York, to be
sold in front of the New York Cotton
Exchange.
Messrs. Coles, Simpkins A Co., one
of the livf *t firms of cotton buyers in
tlie South, do an extensive business In
Florida and Georgia, with their main
office In Brunswick, Ga., and branch
office* iu A Ibany and Atnerlcua. They
charter vessels for their exclusive use
and export cotton through the grow
ing port of Brunswick. They hand
led thirty-three thousand bales last
season, and are arranging to increase
their business to fully fifty thousand for
tlie approaching season.
A litany received Uie first bale of new
cotton ou July 5th, iu 1883, and on
last year it was marketed July 33d in
this city, but Galveston was ahead,
having received the first Texas bale
July 10th.
GINNING AND PACKING ON JULY 4TH.
From reliable parties who have seen
Mr. Joues* crop, we learn that he lias
300 acre* or cotton that will average
over waist high, and that it is loaded
down with fruit. His crops are pro
nounced by old farmers the finest ever
seen for tlie season in this section.
This cotton was planted In January
and February and protectected from
frost* in cold weather by firing brudi
pile* and stumps around the fields, the
smoke from which covered as a blanket
the growing crops. Long before the
first streaks of approaching dawn is
discernible in the East, the first-bale
man rises aud rings up bis bands,
whom he accompanies to the field.
Enough cotton having been gathered
for a bale on Monday, July 4tb, at 10
o’clock a. m., the gin was put in mo
tion, and by 9 o’c.ock p. m. the fleecy
staple was ready for the press. At 10
o’clock p. m. the bale, ready for the
market, was rolled out of tlie screw
box and loaded for Albany. The dis
tance, just twenty miles, was covered
so a* to have it reach the city in the
broad light of day.
A ■•Mater Iteptlle.
Some five or six years since a mon
ster snake was seen in Rawls Pond six
miles below Albany, and the gentle-
mau who saw it related his adven
ture to a number of Incredulous friends.
It has remained to this day a matter
of jest among tlie acquaintances of the
frightened gentleman, the reported
proportions of the huge reptile.
Among the number who heard the
statement with a mental reservation
was Dr. C. P. Hartwell, who owns a
plantation embracing the larger part of
the swamp snrroundiug the pohd.
Tlie doctor is now, however, a firm
believer, but it required seeing to con
vince him.
One day last week he wak out in the
field with bis farm bands, aud having
occasion to go into the edge of the
swamp encountered a snake, the tight
of which almost took his breath away.
Tlie reptile showed fight and the Doc
tor called for his latiorers. One res
ponded, but seeing the siiake, he lied.
The others were called aud with
great poles the brigade surrounded his
suakesliip aud made an attack that re
sulted in it* death.
Dr. Hartwell says that be thought
he had seen big suakes before, bat all
native suakes were midgets by this
monster which was larger than any be
ever saw in any cireu* museum.
It proved lobe ot a variety *f water

as large a* an ordinary man’s thigh in
cirvumlereure, with a very Urge bead.

permanent organization, fifty of the
defenders of our homes, mauy of whom
wore the scars of war won in honor
able battle, responded.
The city court room was thrown
open and a temporary organization
effected by electing Mr. A. Sterne
chairman. Upon taking his seat,' Mr.
Sterne stated the object of tlie meeting
in a terse and pointed speech. He
stated that it seemed as if the order of
the day was “new,” and the “old”
things of the past, around which clus
tered so many hallowed associations,
were in danger of being relegated to
the attic ot memory as if it was rub
bish. The object of thi* meeting was
to effect a permanent organization to
keep alive the spirit of patriotism, and
keep bright the memory of brave deedi
of Confederate heroes, and for pur
poses of dispensing charity to needy
Confederate veteran* who arc denied
the paternal, protecting care of the
Government. No one had an axe to
grind, and it could not offer occasion
for political log-rolling.
On motion of Mr. W. O. Watson a
committee of five was appointed, con
sisting of S. R. Weston, W. O. Wat-
sou, J. T. Hester, J. R. Forrester and
W. A. Strother, to report the plan ami
purposes of the organization. The
committee reported to the meeting as
follows.

The report of tlie committee was re
ceived aud unanimously adopted.
On motion Captain R. llobbs was
appointed Prenkleut. Upon assuming
the chair Captain Hobb* addressed tlie
meeting, taking issue with Mr. A.
Scenic. He thought that the memory
of tlie valor and sacrifices of the Con
federate veteran* was clterished by a
grateful people, and t.«at as long as
patrotism is esteemed a virtue, and
valor awaken* the admiration of men,
Southern heroes will meet a just ap
preciation. Yet, be fully concurred In
the desirability of effecting tills organi
zation to the eud that the fires upon
tlie altars of Southern hearts may be
kept bright and warm for those who
suffered the privation*, endured the
hardships and braved the dangers of
war in the defense of their beloved
Southland. He esteemed the charita
ble objects of tlie organization one or
Us most commendable features, and
but voiced the sentiment of every
Dougherty county veteran when he
said that, distributing to the necessity
of their unfortuuate brothers iu arms
was esteeineJ by every Southern sold
ier as one of life’s saddest pleasures.
From time immemorial, in tlie days
of Spartan glory old soldier or
ganizations have existed. Napole
on’* old Guard and tlie English Guard
organizations attest the fiuellty of sol
dier’s hearts to their comrade* in arms.
There is a sentiment of affection that
binds old soldiers in conls of strongest
sympathy that finds expression in many
acts of loving k'lidues*.
Mr. W. II. Gilbert was chosen as
Vice-President,and Captain J. T. Hes
ter Secretary and Treasurer of tlie as
sociation.
The following gentlemen were
elected as members of the Executive
Committee: S. R. Wes too, W. O.
Watson, J. R. Forrester, B.F. Wilder,
J. G. LaRoque, J. L. Dozier and A.
W. Cosby.
There being no other business, tlie
meeting was adjourned to meet on
Saturday, July 10th, when It I* ex
pected that a greater number of the
Dougherty county Confederate veter
ans will answer to roll rail.
Tlie City Taxes CawpareS
The judicious management ot tlie
finances of a city or county is of prime
ooosideration. Official extravagance
an«l injudicious outlay* and obliga
tions have blighted bright prospects of
many Southern cities. Debts have been
incurred in tlie eagerness to enjoy pub
lic advantages, and a rate of taxation
followed that crushed the spirit of en
terprise.
It is an easy matter to vote expendi
tures of public monies, aud a pro
posed Improvement find* supporters
from the Tact that the day of reckon
ing is put at some distant future day.
Albauy lias been most fortunate iu
having at tlie head of. her affairs nieu
of good judgment and sound bus
iness discretion. It seems almost
Incredible that a city of the growth
and prospects of Albany, and the many
excellent advantages she enjoys,
should never have had a bonded debt.
Four railroad* radiate to as many
points of the compass from this focal
point of great commercial interests.
The Southwestern railroad was built
from Sumter City to Albany by Al
bany citizens, and sold as finished in
•ections of ten miles to tlie Southwest
ern railroad company. The Thmnas-
ville branch of the Savaunali, Florida
and Western railroad cost tlie citizens
of thb county nearly $100,000. The
secret of this immunity from debt lies
in tlie fact that private citizeus under
take an enterprise and have ever,
through wise foresight, discouraged
tlie corporate liabilities.
The result is that Albany and
Dougherty county stand witiiout a
parallel in the low rate of taxation.
The tax rate last year was for tlie city
only six-tenths of one per cent., while
the rate of assessment recommended
for the county next year is five-tenths
of one per cent.
The county has money on hand, and
has, lor a long term of years, been
runuing its affairs on a strictly cash
basis. The whole State, couuty and
city taxes amount to $1.40 on tlie $100.
To form some Idea of the blessings
that Albany and Douglierty county
enjoy in tills respect a comparison is
invited between tlie rates of Griffin
and Americus, two rival cities with
Albany, in thi* State. In tlie Ameri
ca* Ret-onler of July 2nd we find the
follow lug:
Tbe city taxes of UriHa are one mod ooe

Mr. 11. Nott Parker, with the air of
a busy contractor, was there, sheltered
from tlie too ardent rays of the noon
day sun by tlie geiferuii* spread of a
protecting umbrella, superintending
eight or ten stalwart Negro men, who
with pick am) spade, were making an
excavation ot unusual depth.
To a reporter such busy scene* ap
pear like oases, at tills season, in the
descrlof dullness; and tlie ring of
spade,thud of pick aud voices of work
men mingle in a musical symphony
akin to tlie melody of Uie Anvil
Chorus.
We approached tlie scene of ojs*r-
atious with the eagerness of tlie war
horse that liad sniffed Uie battle from
afar and Immediately engaged Mr.
Parker’s attention with the Inquiry:
Pray till us what does all this pre
paration portend?”
’This sir, is tlie beginning of tlie
laying of the foundation for tlie Al
bany cotton compress.”
“Is that a fact?”
“Do you suppose sir, I would state
any tiling bat a fact?”
‘Oh no sir; I don’t mean to ques
tion your veracity, but it is possible
for a gentleman to lie under a mistake,
or to Indulge a joke at tlie expense of
tlie innocent reporter.”
It certainly is no joke, especially to
those men delving in tlie sweltering
heat of tiii* July sun,” replied Mr.
Parker.
“Well!” said the reporter gazing
into a cut over five feet deep, “why ia
it necessary to plant tlie foundation
deep?”
“That hole Is to be dug nine feel
before the brick foundation will be
laid; till* Is necessitated by tlie ponder
ous machinery to lie placed iu tlie
SIIJXUV trnctu re. ”
Mr. Paikcr explained further tiiat
tlie work on tlie compress would lie
pushed rapidly in order tiiat it might
be ready lor tlie fall business. The
pres* will In* oue of tlie best patents,
and will give employ iwent to a large
uuuiber of I lauds.
It i* »ate to predict tiiat there will
be but little, if auy, cotton shipped
from this point next season witiiout
bring compressed. It will prove a
great ml vantage to Albany. Beside*
giviug steady employment to a nui
her of hand* at remunerative wages,
which will swell the retail trade of tlie
city, it will he an important factor in
the sum of Albany’s advantage* over
neighboring markets in attracting cot

percent. Let the good work go ooT

For twenty-five years or more tlie
old pond, now railed the Government
pond, lias vexed the City Fathers with
its stubborn reststance to measures
looking to its abalenicut. It has stood
a menace to the health of tiiat por
tion of Albany within the radius of its
miasmatic ipfiuence. It has effectu
ally barred, by the public dread of It,
all growth of the city in tiiat direction.
It has played a silent, though impor
tant, part iu ihe history of Albany,
actively for good and evil, passively as
a barrier to progress in its neighb
hood. Many stately piles of brick
once lay as clay in tlie spot lately oa
pied by the water of tiiat pond, that
can be said to have grown as the lUy
from the slum of the marsh. Its ex
halation of death-dealing malaria has
poisoned the summer air for many
years, ami many green mounds bear a
sad testimony to the evil it has
CAKE IT THERE?
About forty-five year* ago it was the
site of a saw-mill owned by a Mr.
Sinquefield. Afterwards M r.Jol,u Hart
ley, a pioneer brick maker of this sec
tion, located a brick yard in tlie basin
that held the alluvial deposits of cen
turies. In working the clay Mr. Hart
ley dug two wells and made many
deep excavations. These wells and
excavations, after the abandonment of
tlie yard, filled with water, and a pond,
covering nearly two acres, formed,
submerging nearly every trace of the
former industries.
Tills was known as Hartley’s pond,
ami was the horror of tlie mothers of
AUkuiv. whose hoys made it a wash-
hole in which to learn tlie accomplish
ment of swimming. This dread was
intensified by tlie drowning of a little
negro.in its waters In 1859.
In April, 1805, tlie Yankee soldiers
stationed at Albany took up camp
around thi* pond, and for many
months they led tbeir I torses to drink*
of its waters, and their tents lay
pitched in the grove above it. From
this circumstance it gradually lost its
original name, and liasevei since been
known as tlie Government pond. _
Appreciating the danger to the
health of tlial jmrtion ot the city from
this source, our cky fathers have, for
years, attempted its drainage by dig
ging until a subterranean passage
could be struck, through which its wa
ters could pass off to the river. At
last they can cry “Eureka!” for a
well, teu feet square, has been sunk,
ami, at tlie depth of thirty feet, an
opening into an underground passage
lias been effected.
A brick shaft, four feet in diameter
and sixteen indies thick, will be built
from tlie bottom to the top. into which
all tlie water* that flow into tlie basin
will lie tmudneted, a* Ihe basin lieliiud
Farka*’ stable.
. Tlie News and Advertiser con
gratulate* Uh* City Council upon their
success, a* well as the citizens upon
tlie abatement of a nuisance ot long
standing. Tiiat was the last water-
holding sink in the city, and its de
struction leaves no reason why Albany
should not lie a sanitarium, equal, in
all respects, to tlie health resorts of
Middle Georgia.
Albany** Urnnunken,
While Albany can never hope to
claim a dressmaker with as much ar
tistic talent as the celebrated Worth
with Ids world-wide reputation, yet
she can boast of some of the most tasty
iu tlie land. Several of Albany’s pro
fessional mantuamakers enjoy wide
reputations, and ladies of taste for
mauy mile* around have their stylish
outfit* built iu till* city.
The News and Advertiser notes
with pride tlie Rticcess of the worthy
ladies engaged in tills honorable
branch of industry. Tl#ey are ladies
of culture and refinement who,
through tlie force of circumstances and
reverses of fortune, chose to rely on
tlielr own exertious than be |tension
ers on the bouiity of friends anil rela
tive*. Their patient labors liave won
for them not only the sweets of inde
pendence, but the love and esteem of
a eomimmity in which work is hon
orable and tlie worker honored. Day
In a- d day out they fill the brightest
hour4 with lalior that exorcise* the
spir.it of ennui and brings life’s sweet
est contentineut with It* other rewards.
Many smaller cities aronml ns dial
are not so fortunate iu having excel
lent dressmakers, can find no better or
more obliging seamstresses than In
Albany.
Our dressmaker* would find it a prof
itable venture to solicit work beyond
tlie limits of their |«st business. Their
charges are so much lighter than the
more preteuliousestaldishinents of Uie
larger cities, anil tlielr work would
give entire satisfaction.
Our drygoods merchants keep ele
gant lines of dress goods, and tlie
ladies of iieighlmriiig cities Could find
it to their advantage to do their slip
ping as well a* have tlielr wardrobes
replenished from this point.
Bul few of our people are aware of
tlie large pro|M»rtioii* the dressmaking
business has as-mmed in our midst;
aud the ladies engaged in the business
cannot know tlie piusihilitie* of it
until they have made judicious effort*
at ite enlargement.

A prophet is not witiiout honor save
in his own precinct or voting place.
For instance, if some local prototype
or Venor or Wiggins indulges in over
confident predictions as to Calling
weather in these parts within a given
space, and the rain (ails to put in an
appearance on time, the author of such
miscalculation is fortunate indeed if
he escape* martyrdom from hanging,
at least in effigy. In the time gone
by one such weatherwear was discov
ered, early ooe morniug, swaying to
and fro from a yard-arm attached to
the artesian well derrick. In his breast
he bore an omnious placard as a warn
ing to others of his ilk. it is true, he
was not suspended there in pnyria
persona, but, what was nearly as had,
be appeared a perfect model in straw
and old cloth* of tlie original.
Since that night and morning of jest
and frolic, no one In tills special part
of the vineyard has ventured upon
anything like positive prognostications
as to the weather, or, In fact, auy
other future happening.
Wliileoverheariug the amusing In
cident, I vainly endeavored to imagine
what tlie exact fate of Professor Wig
gins would have been had he resided
iu Camilla on and after tlie failure of
that dismal horoscope of has for Uie

Iu the editorial eoluius ol the News
and Advertiser for June 30tli, 1 read
with great gusto a spirited article
under tlie caption of “Albany’s
Boom.” Its perusal was especially
gratifying from tlie tact that it called
to mind a rambling communication
contributed to tiiat journal of some
months ago, as to tlie probable great
commercial advancement of Albany
within the period of a decade, termin
ating with tlie year 18»7.
If all the varied enterprises enumer
ated In your article of Uie the 30th of
June, are put in active operation, and
almost simultaneously, there can be
uo possible contracting influences
brought to bear to prevent the city of
Albany, Ga., from soon occupying the
frout rank among the most prosperous
cities or the State.
Even outside ot her present encour
aging prospects, it were an easy task
to mention ouly a few of her natural
advantages tiiat must, sooner or later,
attract foreign capital, pouring in
upon her with tlie absolute surety of
profitable investment, greatly enhanc
ing local real estate valuations, and
in an increase of population far beyond
all present expectations of her most
sanguine friends. It would really
seem from all indications, flags or no
flags, that the whole South is just upon
tlie bright threshold of an era of un
exampled prosperity. Everywhere
tlie signs are more healthful anil hope
ful. There seems to be an aroused
expectancy, a surety in the near re
alization of tlie better days just at
hand. Something has brought about
a reaction. It lia* not grown out of
tlie partial returns of the now fast
closing melon season, because there is
a puzzling diversity of opinion as to
results, setting any.clear computation
at defiance. Tlie man who cultivated
at a five-acre patch from ordinary
wed, expecting a return of eighteen
hundred or two thousand dollars, lias
not as yet been paid over the full
amount of Ills suppositious earnings.
On the other hand, tlie farmer who
meant business, used tlie “Cobb Gem”
variety, planted thirty or forty acres
ami got his c-ir loads first upon the
market, lie is the man to talk to for in
formation. He don’t say a wonl about
unusually small melons or failure in
the crop. He does say, however, that
tlie seven or eight hundred dollars he
has already received Is a perfect God

When fanners generally shall adopt
