Tobacco is coming in to the warehouses, and buyers are out inspecting the contents of the barns. In some cases fancy prices are asked and obtained. To one unaccustomed to the growing of cigar leaf tobacco under cover, the farms large plantations of thie county present a novel appearance, with its acres covered with cheese-cloth or slats, raised to the altitude of eight feet above the graund. It Is estimated ihat there nre about 600 acres thus covered in this county, and a considerable proportion of it is irrigated. Reekie* this, there is a large area planted without cover.

Ga., Aug. 16.—The Board of Education at a regular meeting to day decided to change the readers in the entire school system of Glynn, and adopted Baldwin’s. This decision was a tribute to the good judgment of Supt. Orr. He had recommended Baldwin’s, but the board was unfavorable at the last meet ing. and laid his recommendation on the table. However, at the request of Supt. Orr, the individual members of the board car ried copies of the books home, and after carefully rending them, they unanimously decided to adopt the superintendent’s sug gestion. This is the first change in school books that has occurred in Glynn in years, and is in line with various improvements of the system that Supt. Orr and the board have mapped out. Rev. W. F. Hollingsworth, pastor of the Presbyterian Church here, and mod erator of the Savannah Presbytery, has announced the receipt of a call to the church at Aberdeen, Miss.

Hollings worth is besieged with requests from the congregation not to leave Brunswick. He has brought the church out of debt, and done more good among the congre gation than any pastor that has served here in years. A LITTLE CHILD'S FALL.

LINDSAY & MORGAN, Old Rost Office. INCORRECT AND UNTRUE. Representative Hnrdxviek Emphnt ienlly Denies a Report. Tennille, Aug. 16.—For some time past the daily papers have persistently printed the report that Hon. T. W. Hardwick, the author of the bill to disfranchise the ne groes in this state, had declared his in tention of introducing a bill on anew line. It was slated that he proposed to have a law passed requiring a property quali fication to vote in Georgia. This would disfranchise as many, it not more, whites than it would negroes. It was a suhje-N that at once claimed the attention of the people. Many of the friends of the young man were disinclined to believe that he ever contemplated such a course. The Morning News corresponded reached Mr. Hardwick by mail and he has sent, for publication, the following self-expanatory letter: “Replying to your favor of Aug. 11, which has just come to hand upon my re turn home, I beg to say that the reports in the dailjf papers to which you refer, slating that I propose to attempt to pass a law a| the next session of the Legisla ture making a property qualification for voting in Georgia, are entirely incorrect and untrue. I have given no Interview* to any papers on this subject and these re port? ate mistakes. I never had any in tention of introducing a bill on this sub ject except the same bill that I Introduced at the last session." YOUNG DAVIDSON’S PARDON.
