each mado short talks. Governor Tur
ney caused something of a sensation in
his speech It came about in this way:
Governor Woodbury said that during
the war each side believed it was right,
but that now the southerners would
have to teach their children the souta
was wrong. Governor Turney took
exception to tliis in his speech.
*T believed I was right during the
four years aud 19 days I sorved in the
confederate army,” he said, “and at
the end of that time I thought I was
right, I still think I was right and shall
teach my children so. No one is more
loyal to tho stars and stripes thau 1
and no one is more loyal to tha govern
meiit, but I never can be convinced that
the south was wrong. ”
This rathor frank expression oaused
a great stir in the audience, aud whou
of the meeting adjourned it was the topic
general conversation on all sides.
Then the meeting adjourned.

MORE CHANGES SOON.
fourth CU«s ro$tuiM»t«ri Huy Come Un¬
der C.T.I Service Kul«$.
Washington, Sept. 24 — Both the
postoffice department aud civil service
commission are taking interest in the
movement towards putting the fourth
class postmasters under the protection
i>f the civil sorvico laws. While noth¬
probable ing is likely to bo done, the at present, of this it is
that before end ad¬
ministration the looked for notion will
be taken.
There are over 65,000 fourth class
postoffices iu the country aud the num¬
ber is constantly increasing. Of these,
some 20,000 carry salaries of less thau
$50 por annum and at least half are iu
places where there is greater difficulty
in finding a competent and reliable per¬
son who is wilting to serve thau iu
choosing between competitors. It is
obvions that there can be uo question
of examination and certification in the
usual civil service method iu these
offices. Several plans have been sug¬
gested and a combination of them will
probably be adoptocL
Many of the larger fourth class offices
are in suburban towns near cities hav¬
ing presidential postmasters. It is now
the policy of the portoftice department
offices to change theso suburban fourth class
to substations of the city office,
whenever it can be done. Residents
often object, as they fear the identity
of their town may be lost, but gener¬
ally yield when they find that as a sub¬
station they can got free delivery. All
substations come uudor the oivil service
law now, tho poraon iu churge being a
clerk of the city office. When a fourth
class office becomo a substation, it goes
by that fact into the classified scrvico.
It is hoped that most of the more
valuable fourth class offices may soon
be brought in by this means. In a
second class office a different method
will be adopted. All candidates will
be furnished with blanks, on which
certain material questions in regard to
the candidate’s qualifications will be
askod. These must be filled by tha
representative citizens of the place,
who certify that they know the candi¬
date and that tho answers they give
about him are true.
The candidates making the best
showing The on this basis will be appointed.
smaller offices will probably re¬
main as they are.
This is the rough draft of the present
idea. It will no doubt bo modified
somewhat before being put into prac¬
tice.

E.VANS INTERVIEWED.
Work of tho Constitutional Convention
In South Carolina Outlined,
Columbia, Sapt. 2J.— With nearly
every item of interest that will come
np for consideration by the South Car¬
olina constitutional convention, already
before it, and the convention down to
work in earnest, tho third week was
opened for business. tha
Governor Evans has given out to
press an interview which may be taken
ns a distinct outline of the work pro¬
posed to be accomplished by already tho major¬
ity, as well as what has been
done. Ho says:
“The work of the convention so far
has been preliminary and in committee,
but judging from the reports of the
committees iilod up to this time I am
satisfied that there will be very little
wrangling and that tho work will be
harmoniously completed. And I bo
lievo that it will ba the best constitu¬
tion ever got tail up for any state. There
is some littlo tendency towards legislat¬
ing too much, but I believe that tiiat
will be expuuged by tiie convention as
a whole, and that they will be governed
by the general principles of govern¬
ment and not by matters of legislation.
The committee reports will necessarily
havo great force and they seem to have
been framed with very grout oaro, and
the chances are that they will be pass¬
ed with but very few changes. Tho
most important committees are agreed
unanimously, I am informed, including
the suffrage committee, and the articles
upon which wo expected most debate
bid fair to bo adopted with but very lit¬
tle change from tho committee renorts.
I see no reason why tho convention
should continue in session longer than
Oct. 1, certainly not longer than Oct. 7.
* 'As to the suffrage plan, there is but
one door open for us, ami that will be
tho uuanmous report of the suffrage
committee. I believe that the vast ma¬
jority of the members are ready to ao
cept it now; but of course there will be
some debate by one or two members
who have pot. schemes. What I mean
is the Mississippi plan with a few mod¬
ifications. That is, that wo will pro¬
vide that any person aggrieved shall
have a remedy leaving by a direct legislature appeal to the
courts, to the holding to pro¬
vide the manner of and con¬
ducting elections.
•‘This report will, of course, preserve
the eight box law and registration as
now provided.
•‘I am sorry ti see that the majority
of the committee on executive depart¬
ments refuso to join in recommending
giving defaulting to the gowe-rnor power to satis- re¬
move officers. I am
fled, however, that tho good sense of
the majority of tho convention will
prevail, ted and i the minority particular, report will

which requires that duo regard shall
be paid to the decisions and decrees of
the courts of other states. Under tho
law as it stands the South Carolina
marriage is divorced in Georgia and
the parties allowed to marry again and
live in that state in legitimate wedlock,
while should they roturn to South
Carolina their children by tho second
marriage are held to be bastards. This
should bo corrected.
“X believe that corporations should
be controlled under general laws with
u o special privileges and with proper
provisions to provent consolidation and
injustice to oporatives, and, whenever
a receiver is appointed, the charter
should be revoked and the affairs
woundup. of
“I believe that the term state offl
cers should be four years, and that of
the legislature two years; aud that
seemed to be the will of the people in
tho last campaign. I am satisfied that
it will give better satisfaction. The
poople are sick of frequent elections,
This would bo a prudent change and I
believe the convention will adopt it.
‘T believe tho area of counties should
be reduced and the minimum should bo
prescribed in the constitution. Four
hundred and fifty square miles is small
enough. Loss than that would bo uu

"I am satisflod it will be a great mis
take to put that 2 mill school tax in
the constitution. Tho time will como
when the national government will see
fit to interfere in the school question,
as well as the suffrage, as tho two are
necessarily inseparable. And no one
can tell to what expediency it will be
necessary to resort in this event. The
people should be allowed to govern
themselves in this particular aud the
legislature left free to levy, to collect
and apportion this tax according to the
best interests of the state. Two mills
is entirely inadequate aud would not

now running for two months. And,
after all, it remains to the poople to
supplement ‘his tax in order to make
the schools efficient. Then, why not
leave the whole matter to them ?

COTTON.
Daring the past month the condition*
have not been favorable for cotton.
There has been an excess of rain in
nearly every portion of the state, caus¬
ing a good deal of rust on the. gray
lauds and on the red lands, inducing an
excessive growth of wood, without a
corresponding increase of bolls. Pick¬
ing lias commenced in lower and Mid
die Georgia, aud will soon be general
all over the state. There is some little
complaint of boll worms and cater¬
pillars, but nothing serious on that line
as yot.

two weeks later than an average;
that there is a decrease of 30 per cent in
the use of fertilizers, and of 15 to 90
per cent iu acreage; that Iu some coun¬
ties a considerable acreage ha* bv>ea
abandoned on account of grass; in view
of all theso conditions, the prospect for
tho cottou crop is tho poorest we have
had for years. The conditions from
this on must be unusually favorable, for
tho crop of tliis state to reach thre*
fourths of last year's production.
CORN.
The farmers of Georgia have good
reason to be thankful for the abundant
corn crop with which they have been
blessed this yoar. Never iu the history
of tho state has such a corn crop been
mado. Thousands of farmers will make
sufficient to last them for two years,
and just here lies our danger: Any com
offered for sale must bring a low price,
for tho crop is euormous all over tha
country, Finding little sale for corn,
many farmers may be induced to plant
less next year, aud largely increase
thoir cotton crons, thus bringing on the
condition of things from which we
have just emerged, viz,, low priced cot¬
tou aud scarcoand dear corn. Allow mo
to raise a warning voice gained agnins t this
temptation. We havo our eman¬
cipation from the western corn fields and

FRUIT,
The fruit crop of tho state, exoept ap¬

storerooms of our wives bear witness
to the abundance and variety of the
crop. This has been a phenomenal
year for all kinds of fruit Our

The August rains have somewhat in¬

RICE.
The harvesting of this crop is now in
progress, aud with no disaster from
storms, the crop will be a good one. I
reiterate what I wrote last month, that
tho erection of small mill* throughout the
the middle aud southern sections of
state would very much enoourage tha
planting of this grain. The difficulty of
getting it properly cleaned deters many
farmers from planting it.
