OCTOBER 20, 1897.
The report of the Blalock
committee to the Legislature is
looked forward to with great
interest. It is expected that
there will be two reports hut
the majority report is expected
to be quite severe on several
State institutions.
The appearance of the dread
ed epidemic in Montgomery cre
ated a general panic in the city.
The people fled in every direc
tion. Nearly everybody who
could either went to the country
or boarded a train for a more
healthy locality. Tho courts
and nearly all business is sus
pended.
Karl Decker, the young news
paper man who rescued Miss
Cisneros from a Spanish prison,
has been made a brigadier gen
eral in the Cuban army. Knrl
has made his reputation for
daring and gallantry and may
not wish to take his chances in
the Cuban army. He is the
hero of the hour in Washington
and New York.
The Spanish government
threatens unless the United
States stops these filibustering
expeditions that Spain will ex
ercise her right to search every
American vessel that enters
Cuban waters. She should re
member that the right to search
American vessels claimed by
Great Britain brought on war.
This country has never conced
ed the right of any nation on
earth to search her vessels on
the high seas.
Dalton has had a sensational
court.. The Southern Railroad
has been prosecuting a gang of
thieves who have been stealing
from the railroad for years.
They were known as the Bohan
non gang. The judge sentenced
Walter Bohanon, the chief, to
ten years in the penitential y .
The other members of the gang
went up for shorter terms.
Eight or ten merchants, who
purchased goods f ronl “1?
thieves, were fined from ifl/tiu
down to s‘2s.
A MISTRIAL.
The long trial of Luetgort for
the murder of his w ife in Chica
go has ended in a mistrial.
Three of the jurors were in fa
vor of aquitting him while nine
held out for conviction.
the whitehead case
The celebrated Whitehead
case was tried in Athens last
week and the defendant was ac
quitted. This case has been a
notable one. It was tried in
Oconee until a jury could not
be obtained and then transferee!
to Clark.

THE YELLOW FEVER.
A consolidated report of the
victims of yellow fever has been
published. It shows that there
have 8,408 cases and 288 deaths.
Of this number New Orleans
presents the largest list both in
cas'-s and deaths. In that city
there have been 1084 cases and
120 deaths.
FOR GOVERNOR.
It seems pretty well settled
that we will havo four candi
dates for Governor in the field.
And there may be more. Those
named as certain are F. G. Du-
Bignon of Chatham, J. Pope
Brown of Pulaski, Allen Fort
of Sumpter, and J. M, Terrell
of Mernwether.
This leaves out of the count
Gen. C. A. Evans aud Allen 1).

CURED BY FAITH.
Miss Annie Harper, of Ran
dolph county, who has been
blind in one eye for a long t ime,
had the sight mysteriously re
stored recently by faith and
prayer. She is a school teacher
and hud been attending the
Normal school in Athens On
account of her health she was
forced to leave school aud stop
ped with Mrs. Vaughan in At
lanta. Mrs. Vaughan prayed
for her sight to be restored, and
one morning on waking up she
found that she could see out of
the dead eye. Her eye con
tinues to gain strength, and
looks as bright as the other one.
She attributes her remarkable
cure to her faith aud the prayer
o( this good woman.
THE LEGISLATURE MEETS.
Tomorrow the Georgia Legis
lature will assemble in Atlanta,
and for fifty days will legislate
for the people of the State.
The third house, composed of
the politicians of the State,
will also be on hand, laying
pipe for the next political cam
paign. Tho gathering of the
politicians is generally regarded
with as much interest, as that
of the law-makers. The Kim
ball house, where many schemes
have originated and dark plots
been engineered, will see the
usual gathering. There will be
candidates for Governor, State
House officers, Judges, Solicit
ors general, etc.
In fact, the political cam
paigns of this State are hatched
out by these political Warwicks
in the Kimball house long be
fore the great mass of the peo
ple understand what is going
on. The ringsters will be there
in full force, and when the ring
says that this man or the other
is to hold the office it generally
The man who will not log
roll with the ring generally
takes a back seat, at least that
has been the schedule for tin
last ten years. It may be that
there will be a rebellion down
the line next, fall and the peo
ple will will undertake to mash
the slates. It is getting to be
time for the people to keep
their eyes open, not only during
election campaigns but before
the campaign opens.
It is expected that there will
be some surprises when the leg
islative enquiries begin. The
duty of that body to look after
the welfare of the State may
develop some sensations that
will startle the people,
John Tyler Cooper, who is
under sentence for embezzle
ment, has been in Fulton
county jail since his sentence .
His time will expire next
Wednesday and as his children
are in Montgomery, where yel
low fever prevails, his friends
have asked the Governor to re
lease him, to give him a few
days which will restore his civil
rights and enable him to look
after his children It is under
stood that the Governor will re
fuse him this poor boom, all
t hough he has paid to the coun
ty every dollar that he was
charged with misappropriating.
PAYNE AND GWINNETT
COUNTY.
Editor .Constitution —Old
Gwinnett does not need any
taiTv nor epitafl'y.
John Howard Payne was
never there. It is not probable
thatGovenor Troup was ever
there. If he was he did not try
Payne there, for he was not a
judge of any court. Judge
Augustus Clayton tried some
missionaries there for disloyalty
to the state and they were con
victed and sent to the peniten
tiary and were pardoned by
Goverdor Gilmer.
Payne was arrested by some
of the Georgia Guard in 1884,
but after examination by Col
onel Bishop, who commanded
the Georgia troeps, he was dis
charged. Governor Troup had
nothing to do with it for ho was
not the governor then, ll** was
in Washington as a member of
emigre-s. He was not governor
after 1820, and Payne was not
arrested until 1884. Payne did
uo sing his song of “Home
Sweet Home” for the first time
in old Gwinnett 1 wish that he
had, for maybe 1 would have
heard it. us I was there during
all those historic years He
sang that song for the first time
in 1818, ina poverty stricken
attic in the city of Paris, and it
was incorporated in tho play of
“Clari” that be wrote. I rem
ember when the missionaries
were tried hi Lawreneeville, for
I was ten years old, and it crea
ted an excitement that impress
ed mv youthful mind 1 Aly
friend Folosm’s informant has
got things mixed ami it reminds
me of old Father Pace, who
while preachihg with great earn
estness and uneducated real,
said: * 1 Aly brethren and sistsr’n
when Aloses built the ark.” An
old deacon near by said iu low
and solemn voice. “Aloses
wasent thar.” “I say,” said
the old preacher, “when Moses
built the ark.” Aloses wasent
thar,” said the deacon. “Well
he was thar or thereabouts,”
-aid Brother Pace, and he pro
ceeded with his discourse. Let
truth of history he vindicate!,.

THE GWINNETT COUNTY
FAIR.
A ORAND SreCF.SS.
The county is to he,congratu
lated on the success of the fair
last week. It was a success in
the number and variety of the
exhibits, especially in the agri
cultural display and in the wo
man's department, and the
large crowd in attendance on
Wednesday and Thursday.
This was the first county fair
ever held, and while the great
mass of the people did not take
an active interest in contribu
ting to the exhibits, nearly
every district, had a creditable
display. It simply illustrated
what the county could do if all
the people had takeu as active
an interest as was done by less
than one-tenth of our popula-
t ion.
One of the serious drawbacks
was a want of sufficient room
to properly display the exhibits
on hand which rendered it nec
essary to crowd too much, Rut,
every visitor from abroad, as
well as our jown people, ex
pressed their surprise that Gwin
nett could make such a varied,
extensive and complete show of
home productions. It was strict
ly a county fair, and everything
on exhibition was the produc
tion of mir own people.
The first day of the fair was
unprbpituous; the morning
opened with a cold East wind,
accompanied by showers of rain
throughout the day, that ren
dered any outside work un
pleasant, and the attendance
was yery small. Wednesday
morning it began to clear up,
and we had a good crowd, esti
mated from a thousand to fif
teen hundred. Thursday was a
typical October day, clear, crisp
and the air was invigorating.
By 8 o’clock in the morning
the people began pouring into
town from every section of the
county. Every train on the
railroads was filled, and the
streets were so full of convey
ances that it was difficult to
get about. Men, women and
children were here, all intent
on enjoying themselves The
houses in which the fair was
held were simply overcrowded.
It was nearly impossible to get
through or to examine the dis
play with any satisfaction.
As to the size of the crowd,
it is hard to get a reliable opin
ion. It was scattered from the
fair to Ihe swapping grounds.
The stores, offices, streets, every
where there was a moving crowd
A conservative estimate places
the number of people at between
three and four thousand, nearly
all from this county/ there
were a few strangers from our
neighboring counties.
On Wednesday evening a far
mers’ institute was held in the
court house, and was addressed
by Prof, J. B. Hunniautt and
Col. Nesbitt, Commissioner of
Agricuture.
Nobody ever heard l>r. Hun
nioutt make u failure when die
cussing farming. He is not
only a book farmer, blit a prac
tical ami successful one. For
years lie has been trying to
pound into the farmers of fhis
State that water is the life of
every crop, and that if the far
mer will so prepare his laud as
to hold the water that falls he
will never make a failure.
Col. Nesbitt discussed farm
ing operations, and drew a very
gloomy picture of the present
agricultural interest of the peo
ple, lie stated ltint them had
been 400,000 tons of commer
cial fertilizers used this year,
with very little profit. He con
cluded that the only salvation
of tfie country was to do as we
are doing in Gwinnett, make
all our supplies at home, and
then we can sell cotton at 6 or t{
cents and still make something.
LIMBLESS COTTON.
Mr. Jackson, of Fulton
county, who owns the limbless
cotton, has sold all his seed to
a New York man He expect#
to organize a company to raise
this cotton exclusively.
400 111 SHELS~CHKBNU l'*.
Verily, Wednesday was chest
nut day in Gainesville for übout
350 bushels were sold hoye.
The chesnut market was lively
and the buyers made it- interes
ting. Mr.J.C. Hill bought 174
bushels, Mr. tt. |». Langford
bought 144 bushels, and the J.
G. llynd. Company bought
about 75 bushels. There w. re
other small sales making an ag
gregate of perhaps 400 bushels.
The chestnuts were brought here
by the wagon load from the
mountains and sold 41.00 p«r
bushel. 4100 iu one day for
chestnuts alone is no small item
and il wasn’t a go id day for
chestnuts either.—Gaurgi*
