The Governoi has decided to appoint Judge M. J. Cla.k to sues seed Judge Hammond. This leaves th« oify judgeship vacant. For this position there are two as pirant*, Howard Van Epps and Henry Hillyer, The Governoi proposed to submit the question to the bar to determin by ballot. Tins is rather a fancy proposition and brought severe criticism- This has been one of the deflects in the Governors administration. When he has decided promptly and on hie own judgement between aspirants he has made few mis* takes but he has frequently held np hie appointments, essaying the impossible task of giving every body satisfaction and finds that fbe delay and attempt to pie we atl hae only brought trouble upon EDITORIAL HAMBLIN OS. The State Fair—South West Georgia. 0 WHAT A COUNTRY EDITOR SEES AND HEARS. It is sometimes pleasant and profitable to shake off the dust of a quiez country town for a few days, and mingle with the great crowds /bat jostle eacu other along the thoroughfraes of the cities and crowd the trsins that move like a binl of passage lrom one section of the country to another. Having a business engagement in Souib era Georgia, we arranged to take in the State Fair at Macon, and see what progress Georgia was making in the industrial arts. Boarding the early morning train Wednesday, we slopped a few hours in the Gate City. Atlanta always has some sensat’on, her restless population must have ex citemen/. Jus/ now, the whole town is in a whirlpool of excite ment over /he approaching olec» tion on prohibition, In the hoi el •corridors, counting houses, street cars, on the streets, livery stables and shops, the all pervading sub ject of conversation is ‘-Wet or dry.” Great public meetings are held at nights at the Court House and in the chuiches, when speak ers, white and colored, Democrat and Republican, exhort the voters; societi s sre organized and the distinction? of cast and the differ ences in religion are forgotten for the time in the absorbing subject Jew and Gentile, native born and stranger, who stops within her gates. Even the women are allign iug tl emselves on one side or the other. The most amusing part of the contest is that both sides claim that they will carry the county by two to one, The result will be impel tant to the State. Atlanta is the capi ul and the most progressive city in the S'ate. The issue is squarely made, and if w/iiskey carries the election, prohibi/ion will get a black eye in the S/a/e, if prohibi tion succeeds it will be regarded as the Waterloo that will in a great measure settle the question in the State, for the country distric/s are rapidly falling into line, ami the great battles must be sough/ in the ci/ies. From now until the election, on the 23rd ins/., all the moans known to political warfare will be used by both sides, and the result will be doubtful until the ballot box, the final arbiter iu American poli tics. settles it. At 4 p. m., wb were packed like a sardine in a coach of the East TenD. Va. & Ga. Railroad. One dollar for the round trip from At lanta to Macon, had the effect of filling its trains- This road is an lshmaelite among the Rail Roads in Ga. Its hand is agairst every mar, and every man’s hand is against if, speaking figuiatively. It is the great competing line with the State Road and the Central. These two roads control the pas senger depot in Atlanta, and they exclude the East Tenn from run ning its carl into the depot, there by giving the other lines the ad vantage over this new can didst i for public favor. In order to over Come these advantages and force a recognition of its claims to a fair divide, ihis road has cut rates, until this week it absolutely haul ed passengers from Dahon to At lanta for fifteen cents, and to Ma con and return, a distance of near ly two hundred miles, for $1 This road does not hesitate to run its fast tiftins at fiom thirty to Ar ts "dies an hour. Macon is the place for a Geor gia fair, Its central lccv ion, nu merous lines of irarsporiation, and magnifiient park, within a mile of the center of the city, give it stipe ricr advantages. Its greatest draw back is a want of hotel accommo dations to comfortably handle t e crowds tha 1 gather there. We arrived there at 9 o'clock and found great difficulty In re* ting a place to stay. Hundreds of people were bunting lodging, and in some instances paying threfc dollars tor a bed. Thursday we took in the fair. The fair ground is a charming p’ace Located immediately on the river, its beautiful grove, tine walks and drives at once charm the visitor. Th buildings are com j modious, but hardly large enough tir occommodate the large crowd. Tug race course is elegant and the accommodations f«'r sioik am ple. We found Maj. Geo H Jot es, of this county, in charge of the Ma chinery department. White there ] was much to interest, tue display of machinery was not so full as we expected to see. The farm and field department was excelleid. As goo--* as we ov •r saw at a S.ate f air. This and the cattle show were the two best departments W T e haven ver seen a better display of fine cattle, and especially Jerseys. Each day thtie was an auction of Jersey cattle, and the prices show that while the demand is great, the day for fancy pri-es is pa-sed. The stuck that struck us as the Pert f«_r gen eral purposes is the grade Jerseys —a cross between the Devon and Jersey. They are fine milkers and butter cows, are kind and make fine beef and work stock. Fo r general purposes we think iLey are supei ior to the full breeds, al though they do not command such fancy prices. The amusements were bird shoot ing, bicycle races, trotting and tunning races. The side show men were there in profusion—the glass hen and other humbugs were in full force and gave the coun/ry cousins a chance to spend theii small change. The best display there, was the Georgia crowd. They were there from the mountains and the wire grass, from the cities, towns and country. The solid old farmer, and his rosy cheeked girls—the bustling business man, profession als and clergy, spider legged dudes, the city girls with /heir frizzles and bangs, and the old lad dies who who wau/ed to see the quilts and pumpkins, about a doz en can lidates lor Governor were smiling and bowing, the jockey and sporting man, pickpocket and sneak thief. The lat er were there j for business and they put in good time, on the cars at the hotels, in > tact everywhere a crowd aseetn-. bled The crowd wai estimated in round numbers at from twelve to fifteen thousand, and furnished pood picking for the light fingered gentry. There is a sad yet co.aic cai expression upon a man’s face who feels for his treasure and finds that it has taken unto itself wings. His deep sorrow over his loss is minglad with an exprrssico of wonder how his pocket book cou'd be so skillfully abstracted without his knowledge, and chagrin that he was so easily caught. The success of this fair will lead io its permanent establishment at Macon, and while we think the most useful fairs ave local ones, where local competition in agri culture and s : oek exhibits between neighbors breeds that rivalry that is tha mother of improvemeuZ and piogrese, as has Deen demonstrate ed in Coob, Thomas, Clayton, and other county associations. Yet when the proper interest is matii f ictfed, these state fairs accom plish greai good and should be en eouraged and liberally putronized. A run of one hundred miles brought us to Albany for break fast. This beautiful city is im proving rapidly. Her seven arte sian wells aie her glory. They have transformed her from one of the most sickly towns of the State to a health resort, where hun» dreds of people epenu the winter to get relief from the ilb that flesh ia heir to. Her broad streets, large warehouses aud handsome public and private buildings, and grow •ng trade make i/ a desirable place to five at, aud its population is rapidly increasing. During that day we traveled across to Biakely, the county site of Early, passing through parts of Dougherty, Colhoun and Early counties. This was once tli« gar den spot of Georgia. The fine cotton lands of Dougherty have beeD famous for half a century Before iLe war il was regarded as the finest cotton growing sections of the State. The face of the county is nearly as level as a prarie, with hardly un undulation enough to drain it prop erly. Immense fields stretch in every direction, easily cultivated and productive. The soil is amu latto, very loose and free au.-l the average crop used lo be forty acres to the horse. During the war this section having ab ndens ed cotton, furnished the Confedtr acy with corn. Here were the large plantations of Lccket', Bond, Gov Colquitt, aud many of noted farmers cf the SfiPo. But twen.y yexrs have made a wonderful change. Thousands of acres of these fine corn and cotton lands are covered with old field sedge. Fences have gore down and farm houses look like a widx ow woman liven there The fields of cotton will not compare il their yield with the ordinary Gwinnett land, and from a hasty inspection from a Hatl Hoad train, we would say that it will lake an average of from three to four acres to make a bale of cotton. There is no evi dences of improve nent in thecoun try. In a ride of fifty miles we did not see a single new farm bouße, outside of the towns We were suprised and regretted to see this goodly heritage going to waste. We inquired for the cause of an old and very intelligent citi zen. He explained that the lands had been given up to the negroes, who constitute two thirds of the population. The white people are moving off to the tow js and leaving their splendid countty homes to be cultivated under the tenant, system, and they do not produce enough to make them profitable under the system of la bor that, is depended on. Nearly every farm you find is for sale, and lands that thirty years ago sold for thirty dollars per acre can now be purchased at from three to five. While the climate is vot regarded as heal/hy for white people, those we saw looked well Towns cannot make a Country and as the country goes down ar.d agriculture languishes, it is only a question of time when the towns feel the infection. Track farming promised to redeem this section, but this has prove! unreliable. 7’he t egro ard all cotton theory Lave ruined this country, and there is no/ one /epth of of tho progress or improvement that characterizes Not/h Ga. The ne gro is tho best labor we ever had, but lef: to themselves the est untry g ,ei dov n just in proportion to their rela ive number with the whites, Every fall hundreds of our young men go West, hunting cheap homes. They can find more desirable homes in South Georgia widi all the advantages of mar kets, Rail Roads »nd every con veil ieuc-e already provid* d. No lands to clear, bouses oi fences to build. The town of Bleaklv is beat’ti fully located, iu a heal/hy locality, with oak groves that remined us of Noith Georgia, It has rather an nntiquated appearance but is a place of some business pretentions. Standing in from of the Court House is something of a curiosity It is a flag pole, nearly one hun dred feet high, th at was raised iu 18(!1 from the <op of which float ed u Confederate ft iy. But long before the cause it represented went down at Appomattox, this bauner, raised in hope, had been torn let tatters l*y toe win Is of heaven, The new Kail Road from Macon to Covington does not seem to have struck the people of Macon favorably or the citizens are not disposed to invest their hard earn ings in Rail Roods. The commits tee appointed to solicit subscrip tion, after drumming the town for $50,000, have only been able lo secure SIO,OOO, They have became disheartened. Tl is ts nit snt'} r sing- No man with a thimble ful lof bi-tins is disposed to inves f in new Rail Road enterprises in ibis estate. Audit isouly when the ouilding of such a road will pay the sub scribers iu some other way than iu dividends f ha/ tiny amount is se cured. Wheu yon go out of the state to get assistance, the snue response meets you /hat you get at irsine. ♦«» • ■ - - It is now developed that Lin coln wanted to stop the war, and pay the South for its slaves, be cause it was cheaper to pay than to light.
