Thursday, March 13. Several islands on tlie coast of Georgia are being profitably used for cattle raising. Georgia farms should supply Georgia farmers with all the horses and mules they need. A stock company is being form ed to erect an elegant hotel at Americus, to cost §100,000. Small farms well tilled will surely cause the needs of the farm ers to be bountifully supplied. For the third time the people . of Pulaski county will vote on the liquor question nest Tuesday. It is quite probable that a can ning factory will b& established in Macon in time to utilize a share of the next fruit-crop. The Southern Cadets of Macon will enter the Interstate military contest at Jacksonville, Fla. May they secure the first prize. A company to manufacture cigars on a large scale has been organ ized at. Thomasville, and the facto ry will soon be in operation. Macon wholesale grocers are not selling as much meat as has been their custom at this season of the year. Good for the farmers. Ex-Congrcssman Tete Smith died last Monday at.liis home at Albany, Ga. He was one ‘ of the noblest of Georgia’s noble sous. People everywhere are recog nizing the fact that the best peaches in the world are grown in this immediate section of Geor gia. gWr. Governor making is going on at a rapid rate - —Marietta Journal. Oh, no, Brother Neal. Bids for the contract are only being adver tised. •In publicly [declining to become a candidate for governor of Georgia, Hon. J. H. Blount, in a letter to the Macon Telegraph, gives em phatic, evidence of his position as a friend of the people. He strikes the popular chord, and the adviee he gives should be followed closely by the people. He has been politics long enough to know that tricks many and keen are practiced along the political highway, and that he-is on the side of the people is known by the record he has made. We endorse what he says, in ad vice and caution, save that we be lieve that .the announcement of nu merous candidates for governor will facilitate a correct selection, rather than create a mist that would serve to conceal the true sit uation. He speaks directly to the peo ple, as follows: “There is a question of immense import which the people must con sider in the state elections of this year. Shall the people control, or railroad corporations by the use of their money and such of the press as the latter can command? Shall the' state be Cameronized or gov erned by the people? The result depends upon them. If viligant they will win, but the contest will then be a severe ope. If indiffer ent or unwary they will fail, and popular opinion be powerless in the future. The situation should- The special schools of the Geor gia Chautauqua at Albany are now in session, under the most promi- pent-instructors of the country. These schools, musical, physical and commercial, opened last Mon day, 10th inst, and will continue through the month of March. The second annual session of the Chautauqua assembly proper will begin on the 23rd inst., and continue one week. Each day will be completely occupied by in structive exercises, varied with pleasant entertainment. . Such em- notbe concealed iu the mist created ofi'ihe trip. by the announcement of numerous candidates. Let us not concern ourselves as to whetherlMr. North- en, Mr. Livingston or some other capable and patriotic citizen shall be nominated for governor. There is ho danger along this line. Bath er let us determine to elect a leg islature and a governor who can neither be driven by denuncia tions nor lured by gain from loy alty to the mass of our fellow citi zens. This is the great duty of the hour.” itsi It is currently reported from Atlanta .that Senator Joseph E. Brown \vill not be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate. The Georgia farmer who- thinks it more profitable to buy than to raise his farm supplies has missed his calling. He should become merchant. mm • It is publicly claimed that capi- tol to the amount of §782,500 has been invested at Gordele since the 1st of February, 1889. Two years ago Cordele did not exist. The new two-cent postage stamp just made ready for use is brick red in color, and slightly smaller than the green stamp it will dis place". There is no change in the face. Monopoly is at all times antag onistic to the rights and interests of the people generally, and no man who is not opposed to mo uopoly should be electedto a legis lative office. S'.?-.-;- Maj. J, E. Hanson says he is not a candidate for congress, nor for any other political office, and that his time will be devoted to the manufacturing enterprises urn der his control. Within the next ten years nine- tenths of the commercial fertili zers use^l in Georgia will be man ufactured by local companies di rectly in the neighborhood where they will be used. " Savannah is growing rapidly. Over a million aud a quarter dol lars in building improvements are now in progress, or have been com pleted within the last two mouths, consisting of over 350 new houses. Hons. 0. L". Bartlett, of Bibb, Eobert Whitfield, of Baldwin, and Bobert Berner, Monroe, are pros pective candidates for congress in the 6th district, though it is said neither of them will enter the race unless Hon. J. H. Blount becomes a candidate for governor. Becent democratic victories in municipal elections in Maine and Iowa seem to indicate that the democratic idea is gaining strength in republican strongholds. It may not be that these elections will have any bearing on national politics, but the opinion is grow ing stronger every day that a dem ocratic president will be elected in 1892. It is outright impudence to • as sume that the allianeemen of Georgia have not the perfect light to decide for themselves for whom they will vote. They are men and citizens, and constitute a very laige proportion of the citizenship of Georgia. It is decidedly right and m-oper for them to refuse to sup port for office men who are known to be antagonistic to ests. Negroes Wanted in New England men as Dr. Meridetb, of Brooklyn, Dr. Dumming, and Dr. Gifford, of Boston, Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia, Gov. Gordon, Senator Colquit, Judge Emory Speer, Hon. W. J.

The city of Albany is one of the most enterprising and attractive places in Southern Georgia, and a .visit there is alone worth the cost We received too late for publi cation last week a letter from our friend “Sub.” at Butler. We pub lish a part of the letter only, as the other portion related to affairs that lose their worth by waiting. We hope “Sub” has fully recovered.

All who can should certaiuly at tend the Georgia Chautauqua. See the programme published in another column, and for special information address Jesse D. Wes ton, secretary, Albany, Ga.; Thenews comes to us fr<an Bos ton that negro servants are want ed in the New England States, and that there is an organized move ment on[foot to induce an exodus of negroes from the south to the north. It seems that the foundation for this proposed movement is a gen. eral desire throughout New En g- land to secure negro women as house servants. It seems to be the belief of adarge number of north erners that these women make the best servants that can be secured, and very naturally they desire to test the correctness of that belief. It is proposed to colonize the negroes in several of the northern states, using the women as house servants and the men as laborers. Mr. Stillman B. Pratt is the head of this scheme, and as an induce ment he proposes to_promise great er civil liberty to the negroes than they are now -enjoying in the south. . Without questioning the views or intentions of the promoters of this scheme, we heartily, bid them Godspeed, and hope that their fondest hopes may be fully real ized. The people of the south appre ciate the negroes at their full value, and would not seek to deter them from making any move that would result to their benefit. This scheme, if successfully car ried out, may in a great measure solve the notorious so-called race problem. Distributed alike through the north and south, their political status would no lodger be a sec tional affair, and the occupation of the republican demagogue would be gone. Then political parties would rest alone on questions of statesmanship. May this movement go forward rapidly, and may the desired re sult quickly follow. Col. Livingstoe emphatically denies the rumor that there is a movement on foot to place Alliance candidates for congress in the field in every district in Georgia. He asserts that he has made no effort to become the Alliance candidate for governor, and further says the Alliance, as an order will have no candidates distinct from other can didates. • As a retort for the canard that Editor Branham, of the Brunswick Times, would become a’ 1 Chicago baseball pitcher, that most versa tile journalist now asserts that Ed itor Niles, of the Columbus En quirer-Sun, is preparing to enter the ministry. The inference might be reached that Niles has in view a’mission ary visit to the Cannibal Islands. The report- comes from the Ag ricultural department at Washing ton that the farmers of the United States held in their possession On the 1st or March 970,000,009 bush els of corn, and 156,000,000 bush els of wheat. The stock of corn on their inter- hand is the largest ever reported in March. I*' " - Set The next United States census will include a statistical report of the number of mortgages on farms, the amount of each, etc. For this purpose special enumer- tors will be appointed. Some say this will be officious meddling with private affairs, while others hold that the farmers desire the statis r tics taken, in order that the truth be told, instead of unwarranted reports that have been from time to time published on this subject. During the month of January, 1890, the gross earnings of the Central railroad system of Georgia amounted to S873,967.39. The ex penses, including taxes, amounted to §562,313.03, leaving §315,564.36 as the net earnings. Add to this §6,035 derived from investments, an d the tqtal net income of the system for January amounted to §317,539.36. This amount is an increase in the net earnings of §80,853.78 over the earnings of January, 1889. The Georgia Southern and Flor ida railroad was completed to Pa- latka, Fla., Monday, and the first through train will go over the road next Saturday, when an excursion train from Macon will make the trip. Tickets for the round trip will be sold for §15. The train will leave Macon at 7 o’clock Sat urday evening, afid arrive at Palat- kaat 6:30 next morning. It now transpires that Chicago desires the national government to appropriate §10,000,000 to the ex pense account of the world’s fair to be held in that city in 1892. This was not in the calculation when congress voted the fair to Chicago, and if the city can’t pay the ex penses, the fair should not be held. store in Butler, and it is well ronized by the order. Mr. A. S. Cook, of New York, was in Butler the past week, the guest of Elder J. B. Bespess From here he went up to Powers- ville, and was entertained by Mr. J. H. M. Cliett for several days. Mr. Cook is a large fruit dealer in Ne tv York. The object of his visit to the south was to see and get ac quainted with the fruit growers. He said to your reporter that he had visited the fruit farms all through Virginia, North and South Carolina, and that the finest and most beautiful fruit farm he ever saw was the farm of Mr. S. H. Bumph. Mr. Cook speaks in the highest terms of the Georgia fruit. Hon. J. H. Blount declares positively that he is not a candi date for Governor of Georgia, and says that he does not desire his name used further in that connec tion. In a" letter to the Macon Telegraph he advises the people to be especially careful in selecting their legislators and governor; “men who can neither be driven by denunciation nor lured by gain, from loyalty to the mass of our fellow citizens.” This sentiment is in accord with the public acts that have endeared Col. Blount to the people of Georgia, whom he has so faithfully served, is now so serving, and we hope will continue serving for many years to come. Col. Blount’s positive withdrawal removes from the gubernatorial race our first choice, and one of the very best men in Georgia for the executive chair. However, the people of the sixth district will again send him to congress, and it is riot improbable that he will in the regular course of events be called up higher—to the United States Senate. Last Tuesday a grocery mer chant of Macon violated the mar ket ordinance by selling a shad during market hours. He was summoned before the recorder, and upon the evidence being sub mitted, the merchant was fined ten dollars. He rose excitedly to his feet and declared he would not pay the fine, but would appeal the case. He was then fined §5 for contemt of court, and this fine he also refused to pay. Ho was then placed in the city prison where he rema ined about an hour. Being allowed to go under escort to his store, he was advised to pay the fines,"Which he did. There is now a prospective suit against the city for §20,000 damages for false im prisonment. The following special from Elk^appeared in the Macon Tele graph last Tuesday, March 4th: ’ “Mr. Wm. Means, a prominent farmer near this place, was dis tributing some rat poison Satur day night He first placed some in his store, then he went to his mill- house to place some there. The millis near the public road. While Mr. Means was stirring around in the mill, the negro that fires the mill engine was passing, arid hear ing a fuss in the mill, thought somebody was stealing meal. So arming himself with a piece of wood, he approached the door with his weapon to capture the corn or meal thief as he tried to pass out with his load. The negro ap proached the door, and it being dark in the house, lowered his weapon. While he was in tnis position Mr. Means happened to cast his eyes towards the door, and there he saw'by moonlight a big negro man with his arm raised, and with something in his hands as if ready to strike. Mr. Means says that he stopped to meditate. He had no weapon, no money, and no ene mies, either. He said he could think pretty fast about that time, so he braced up aud hailed the ne gro. When he did so, the negro recognized his boss’s voice, and laughed. Mr. Means will do some more thinking, doubtless, before he goes to bis mill again at night without a light.” The Interstate Building aud Loan Association of Columbus, Ga., is growing in prosperity. There are local boards in ten states, and 41,531 shares have been subscribed for. A total of §66,575 has been loaned by the association to share holders. At a recent meeting of the- managers a resolution was passed to the effect that after April next not more than one per cent., annually, of the par value of the shares, should be taken for ex penses. Ofcqurse this will in crease the profits of the share holders. Mr. J. H. Hodges is local agent of this association at. Perry. A Lady’e Perfect Companion. Our new book by Dr. John H.

We have heard this before. The next legislature might do a. public service by increasing the powers of the railroad commis sion. The managers of the Georgia Southern and Florida and Macon and Birmingham railroads propose to establish a manufacturing town at the junction of these two roads, six miles from Macon. To aceom plish this, they offer free sites to all who will erect and operate fac tories there. They have bought 226 acres of land for this scheme. Col. B. T. Nisrett, the Cobb county candidate for Commission er of Agriculture, says that Judge J. T. Henderson forfeited his claim upon the votes of the people when he opposed the bill under which the commissioner will be elected by the people. It is rumored that Judge Alex. Uwin will resign his position on the Georgia railroad-commission, In this connection it is rumored that Judge Allen Fort would will ingly become Judge Irwin’s suc cessor. —Messrs Nelson & Howard will soon have a shingle mill in opera tion at their saw mill near Eva. Georgia awoke one morning to find the young pears in' his chard hanging heavy with icicles. One look was sufficient. He sad dled his horse, rode to town, and in the excitement and despair of the moment, offered to sell the en tire crop, whatever it might make, for one hundred dollars. A man who heard the offer handed out the money and the transfer -was made. When tke*returns were in, the man who bought the orchard had netted' the snug snm of §3,000.
