mind is evidently affected, and
that she lias recently been heard to make
remark* that indicated some mental a be ra
tion. She has untie red much from affliction,
having been as invalid for many years, and
her husband only a few years since wa* ter

A STRANGE CASE,

We do not think » stranger case or one
that illustrated more thoroughly the change
in the sentiment of Ihe people of the ninth
•on the negro question, ever was disarmed
-in public print- than the case of Nat An
•dervon, who w\.s convicted of voluntary
uamtlaughter on Wed.ie.-day for the shoot
•ng of a negro man.
A HISTORY or TIIK CASK.
We call e*|>ecUl Attention to the circum
stance* of the case:
The defense proved clearly, as we read it,
that the negro, with lit t ie or no provocation
cursed the white man. He not only cursed
him, but he called turn repeatedly "a d—d
**n of a b—h,” a term of reproach th it
by a sort of commo i consent, no man a 11
submit to. Anderson, however, did not re-
*i>t this except by telling the nojjro to
»• he ever heard
leave him. The negro followed hi.a, ami
re i tea ted the insult. Anderson again
warned him off—and dually drew a pistol.
The negro then left, saying that he would
go and lix hi uself and come hack

At length. Anderson, goaded beyond en

His defen-e wa* entrusted to Mr. Jeffrie*,
who is in the very front rank of criutiual
lawyers. Ui» speech in defense <4 Ander-

conducted by Mr. Jeffries wa* strong, fault
less and determined, winning even front his

in >pite of all these things Solicitor-Gen

ly a hope of a verdict, addre*«ed himself
to the work of conviction. He made one
tboae compact, logical, oonvincingspeechea
that have made aim famous as a prosecu

The jury br.>ngat in a verdict of guilty of
voluntary iu tn-laughter. which was the
most that it could do under the Jaw and
the facts. We record these points as evi

the main c-eator of our natural wealth and
the mu resit reliance for the mean* wherewith
meet our national obligations.
FOWLS.
Fowl* cannot get along well on grain food
alone, ami must in both winter and h n m .
rner. the latter e*pecislly, be .*upplied with
some green, succulent food, or they will ere
long become diseased or sickly, when the
matter of nrotit will become very problem
atic indeed. A place must be small indeed
which cannot afford enough gra-s for a
flock of fowls, .
«OoI» WHEAT.
To make a good crop of wheat good land
«sMential; this must be iu good order,
the grain must be sown at the proper time
t, '« p*»p«r way, and l*e properly liurvest-
In u-ing phosphate* the quantity <d
wheat is increased. If |»ior land t.* to h-
sown in wheat it should tie made rich by
1 tarn-yard manure, or by clover. Li me will
increase the crop of wheat, it decomposeM
ingredients in the soil, and ibis decomposi
tion liberates a numb -r of chemical agente
whicli give energy to the growth and devel
opment of all plant*. Wheat ripen.* earli -r
on manured land, but too much maim e
may be injurious by causing a too luxuriant
growth.
COMFORTS FOR COWS.
At this season of the year milk cows
should have g.Mjd attention. They >h mid
be well housi d and well fed. The stalls or
stables should be well ventilated, clean,
moderately warm and provided with suita
ble bedding. Straw, hay etc., is very good
food, yet cows should have chopi>ed roots,
ctu hay or straw mixed with meal. A nice
feed is to cut up hay iu pieces of ab.iut one
inch in length, put it in a tight box and
pour boiling water upon it; then sprinkle
on a little Malt and cover the whole with a
little bran or meal. When coo! feed, say a
bushel at a time. Cows should be salted
two or three times a week.
*ecta propagated year after year by allow
ing the trees to be choked t»y wit kinds of
noxious weeds. When superphosphates are
used around the roots ol fruit trees they are
not so liable to the attacks of insects as
tbuae that are manured with vegetable mat-
—r.
rxEotso
Remember that the best stock yields the
mo*t profit. Fatten your old stock and
keep the young growing. More profit can
be made by feeding a pig twelve months
than by taking twenty-four months to fit it

stock warm and comfortable, vou can en

, POULTRY HINTS.
Ventilation is necessary to the health of
fowls.
—Charcoal is good for chickens. It puri
fies their system.
—Fowls must have gravel or coarse sand;
it is just as necessary as food.
—Keep chickens free from vermin. A
great many of the ailment.* to which fowls
are subject are caused by lice.
It is a good plan at this season to feed
ung stock cooked vegetables, ina*lied and
ixed with scalded corn; it is a healthful
aud economical way of feeding.
—Fowl houses aud yards should be well
drained; low. damp grounds are very un
healthy for chickens A bank or bill-side
the best location for a poultry house.
FLOWER.* AND PLANTS.
—Flowers are always borne in much
greater profusion upon a y«»ung, thrifty
plant than upon an old one, worn out and
unfit for further service.
■Dig up flower beds and leave them
rough. The frost will do a great deal in
making the soil much more mellow. Ap
ply manure whenever needed, spading it in
well.
-There ia such a thing as too much pot
ting a plant, just so much so as giving them
too little sunlight. The chief essentials in
successful plant culture are air, light, heat
and cleanliness.
In potting plants, for soil use one-thinl
garden soil, one third sand and one-third
well decayed manure. Never pnt a small-
rooted plant into a large pot. Damp sand
is the bent thing to root cuttings in.
—To winter geraniums cat off every leaf
and bud and set the plants into a box of
sand or sandy loam iu the cellar. If put
into pure sand an occasional watering after
ward.* may be needed if loam is used the
watering given when fir*i pul in will do for
the winter.
HINTS TO FARMERS.
A'ter the frost has killed the stems of as-
paragns *nd the bed has been cleaned it i* a
good plan to give it a dressing of manure.
—To slop a ben from setting, pul her 1
the coop and give her plenty to cat and
drink. Three or four days will generally do
the cure.
—The practice of letting she^p run wild
must Ik* abandoned and the scrub males
must be got rid of. To make sheep raising
a certain success, requires time, patience,
study and judgment. •
—Agriculture leads the mind directly to
the contemplation of the glorious creations'
of ihe Deify. This tend* to elevate and ex
pand the mind and brings acalra content
nient which false ambition and vicious
plea-tire* cannot destroy. *
—Potatoes and turnip* are healthy f-
for working and carriage horses. Wash
them clean, slice moderately flue and
*t»riiiklem Utile salt and meal over them
Three times a week is enough to feed in
It:is manner, and soon the beneflc : a! effects
will be apparent in the glos-y satin of the
hair.
KUOS FOR WINTER.
li bens have a warm house and enouuli
to eat, and of the right kind, they will lay
well in winter. Some grain should be fed
to fowls, yet all of the waste meat ami scra;i*
»!u»uld oe saved and fed to the bens in win-
It is also a good plan to hatch out
some early and some late chicken*, as in
that way the late ones will be laying when
the older ones want to set.
FAT Tl'RKCYS.
An old farmer took tour turkeys and fed
them on meal, boiled potatoes and oat*
Four others of the same brood were at the
name time confined in another pen and fed
daily on thesame article, but with one pint
of very finely pblver zed charcoal mixed
with their fo>ia—mixed meal and boiled

of charcoal in th-ir pen. Tne eight were

—Farm stock is the best capital a farmer
can have, for it furnishes the manure by
winch rich harvests are secured.
—The cause of rancidity in butter is due
to the fact that the buttermilk, or the water
u*ed in washing the batter is not all worked
out. It never results, a* some seem to sup-
1**k*, because it i.* not sufficiently salted.

Your correspondent learns that there was
some insurance on the stock. The firemen

A RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT BARNESVILL.
Barnfaville. November 29.—A railroad
accident-occurred jn*t outside of town on
Wednesday last w ich came very near
being serious. As Mr. J. J Rogers and a
negro were crossing the Central nulroad
track, aoout a mile above town, the
up freight ran into the wagon, tear

it some distance along the track. The negro
wa* badly hurt. Mr. Rogers saved his life
by jumping just before ihe engine struck
tiie wagon. He only had his arm sprained
by the fall. Our municipal election,
which comes off shortly, promised several
days ago to bean exciting one. The re
fusal of Colonel J. A. Hunt, however, to
beoo ne a candidate lor mayor, has left only
one ticker in the field with Captain E. J.

but left at once for Cochran,
Ga., where Mr. White is temporarily
engaged iu the cotton business. Miss Fro»t
was well known and highly esteemed in
Atlanta, having frequently graced social
evenjs iu this city with her presence. We
learn that Mr. White is one of the promi

their few momenta’ stay here very much.
When the train carried them away they
were followed by a thousand pure good

-Yon have, you say. now in operation a
seed-oil mill?"
"Ye*, sir. When I get the Clemeut at
tachment* to work I will handle the staple
from the field all the way- through. Willi
the Clement mill I will gin, and card and
spin the seed cotton into yam. Instead of
puttiug the seed in tbe ground as fertilizers,
I will put them in my oil mill. I will ex
tract the oil. 1 then take the body of the
seed from whither the «nl ha* l»een ex
pressed and make it into cotton seed cake,
which 1 send to New Orleans and sell. I
take the hulls of the seed and use them as
fuel for my engines, and even save the ashes
from the hulls aud sell that for fertilizer.*,
bo that from the field on there is not a thing
wasted."
"Are the seed as good for fertilizers after
the oil is taken out?"
"Just as good. It doesn’t hurt them one
particle. And then mad- foto cakes it is
the best food for stock, i sell the cakes in
New Orleans from where it is exported for
nearly as much as the cotton seed cost me.
With the hulls for fuel, and the ashes for
fertilizers, I more than get my money back
and have the oil clear." •
"There is a great waste, then, in not ex
tracting the oil from all the seed used as
fertilizers?"
"Certainly. There is a waste of $12 a ton.
I get $12 worth of oil out of every ton of
cotton seed, and then leave the seed quite
as valuahle for feed and fertilizers as they
were before the oil was expressed. With
every ton of seed therefore thrown on tbe
land before they are put through the oil
mill we throw away $12."
"Does the process of extracting the oil
payr:
"It has paid me about 60 per cent That
s I mean that I buy a ton of cotton seed at
$8. I get out of that ton of seed $12 worth
of oil. It pays me a clear profit of $5 a ton,
for every ton of seed I work. It is acknow: -
edged by all who know anything of the
business that the oil seed mill busiue**
is the most lucrative manufacturing busi
ness in the south. It has grown very rap
idly where it has ever been started. /*«
New Orleans, for instance, there is$3,000,000
invested in oil seed mills, and the compa
nies controlling them report the most satis
factory results. All over Louisiana the
farmers send their seed to these mills a d
get $10 a ton for it, they paying freight,
so that it nets the farmer about $8 a ton.
"Is the demand for tbe oil and the seed
cakes steady?”
"Steady and growing. The oil can be
sold in infinite quantity and the seed cake*
are exported or sold at home just as rapid
ly a* they can be made. I sell all I have to
the farmers right around me.”
"Why i« it that oil seed mills are n t
more frequent throughout the south?"
"Juat because our ]>eople are not progress
ive and enterprising. Many of them do not
have the money and those that have it are
afraid to trust it any new investment. They
will not even tru*t their own sense. Why,
when I quit the law and went to build a
$25,000 oil mill in the country I wa* the
laughing stock of the parish. Some of my
neighbors thought I could do nothing with
it, but I went about quietly, because 1
knew it would pay. I had only about $8,000
in cash, but I went into it with a $25,000
machine. 1 have now paid out and have a
surplus with whicli to begin win. the
Clement attachment. I run my oil
seed mill night and dav. 8foce
has demonstrated itself ' I could
get euough capital from niy neiehbors to
put up a half dozen cotton seed oil mills
When I go back home they will laugh at
me just the same about the Clement mills,
but when I get the thing to work I will
show them tliat I know what I am about.”
"In ranuing yonr machines bow many
men will you employ?"
"I employ now sixteen people in my oil
mills, that is two sets of band*. In my
Clement attachment 1 will need say twenty
more. I should say in the two processes
about thirty-five hands."
"How many does it take to grow the cot
ton that you would use?"
"I will use 400 bales iff a year. It woul
take about fifty hand* to raise that much.
"Then it woo d give employment to
nearlv double the number of people n
engaged ingrowing the cotton, to run _
through Clement attachment* and oil seed
mills?”
"Yes, sir; If all the cotton was spun into
yarns and all the s?ed ground into oil and
made into cakes, it would give employ
ment to twice as many people a* are now
employed in growing the crop."
"What value do you add to tbe *eed
"I double it* value. I mean by that
every ton that goes through my mill
brines more than double the money that is
yielded by a ton not ground up. There are
1,000 pouds of seed cotton to every bale of
lint, or one ton to every two bales. The
crop is 5,000,000 bales, which
would give us 2.500,000 tons of
cotton seed. Tbe oil mills get $10 out of
evety ton of this that is ground up, which
$10 is wasted in every other ton. If ihe
whole 2.500.000 tons were gained we should
have added to our cotton seed a value ot
$22,500 000. By running through the Clem
ent mill we double tbe value of the lint
cotton. Our crop of5,000,000 bale* i* worth
at $50 a bale $250,000,000. By spinning it
through the Clement mills we would add a
value of $250,000,000.”
"These splendid results would be achieve
then if every neighborhood would be
furnished as yours will be?" .
Yes. And if these chance* existed Jn
New England they would not lie open r~~
year. The thrifty yankees would not .
this waste in -their staple crop go on more
than a single season. The south, though,
may consent to submit to it indefinitely.
As'for as I am concerned, I do oot claim to
be moved by any patriotic considerations.
I went into the oil seed mill because I
knew it would pay. 1 am going into tbe
Clement mills for tbe same reason and for
that reason only. I never took yonr word
tor what I read. I knew I could learn more
in an boar than I could read in a week. 1
And this is precisely what Thx Cossnrr-
tiox advises every man to do. It has always
asked that no man take its views as concha-
rive, but that every man should see for
himself.
such a report that we might publi.*h.
We persuaded a dozen gentlemen to go with
us and examine the mill: their views have
been given.
A short time ago Mr. Appleyard,certain1y
competent authority, having been a spinner
for many years, and a veteran in manufac
turing. went to Westminster at the request,
we think, of a number of Columbus people.
He was solicited for bis written opinion,
which he gave, after his visit, lo Mr. Israel
Putnam. It is favorable in every sense of
the term, so Mr. Putnam informs us.
Next week Colonel J. W. Robertson, the
president of the Roswell manufacturing
company, Is going op to Westminster f ra
cluee examination of the mill, with a view
of investing largely. We shall give his
views upon his return. In the meantime if
any visitor sees anything that he deems
unfavorable in the mill, we shall be pleased
to have his opinio » and will publish it con-
*picuously. We want to give the whole
truth.
THX PROGRES8 OF THX "BOOM."
I the meantime the interest in the attach
ment is spreading Tbe people of Ameri
cas are moving in the direction of a stock
company. Mr. H. P. Almond is arranging
to put up a double mill at Conyers. We
-know of two tbat will be put up near Mari
etta and tbe interest is universal over this
and adjoining states.
There may be some trouble, as suggested
by Mr. Gates, tbat Mr. Stribling will not be
able to furnish these mills a* rapidly a*
they are needed next summer. We
know nothing of his arrangements beyond
the fact tbat be receives a percentage
on all sales tbat be makes. What this per
centage is, where he has his machinery
made, or how rapidly he can have it made,
we do not know. We beard from him that
he was trying to make arrangements with a
Macon firm to manufacture these mills.
Whether lia succeeded or not we cannot
sav. He is quite an energetic man, and
doubtless knows what he Is about.
There are two or three parties In Atlanta
who wish to go into tbe business with him,
aud some of them are now corresponding
with him. If suitable arrangements can be
S erfected, a mill with a frame or so of spin-
les will be put up in a store
e city of Atlanta,, and the
mill be run daily, so that- visitors may see
precisely what it does without going to
Westminster. It.is a great mistake that the
little mill is located on a branch away out
of sight of the railroad. {Still the people
continue to find it out. There are visitors
every day and usually in pretty good squads
We should feel satisfied with our work if we
see fifty of these mill* at work in Georgia
in time for the next crop. And, in tbe
meantime, we should like to see an oil-seed
mill put up in Atlanta. -There is oue iu
8dma and one in Montgomery, but none
in Georgia. Why should not we have one
here?
A MACHINIST’S OPINION.
Mr. J. R. Howell, who is known through
out the state a* a practical and experienced
machinist, paid a visit to the Westminster
mill, aud say*: "I think It is a greater in
vention than we shall be willing to admit.
I examined it carefully and found it sim-
J le and more efficient than I had exacted.

clipping and the chopping of the fibre it
would be a great machine. I indorse it in

Rumors of an outrage in DeKolb county
were folly confirmed-Thursday by tbe evi
dence in u case before W. B. Smith. United
States commissioner, in this city. Last
Monday a white eiri about 20 years old,
named Margaret Ann McAipin, and resid
ing one und a half miles below Stone Monn
tain, came to Atlanta and went lx for
Judge Smith to swear out a
warrant against certain parties who
idie said had come to her father’s hou*e the
Saturday night previous and there severely
beaten her father, her brother William anil
herself. The warrant was issued in du*?
form and was given to R D. Bolton, a dep
uty, to execute He went to DeKalb coun
ty and to the immediate neighborhood to
arrest the parties against whom complaint
•ai made. The arrests were duly made
nd Mr. Bolton wa* not in the Iea*t dist
urbed, or even threatened in the discharge
of his duty. He describe* the county,
however, as being in a state of great com
motion, and say* tbat many of tbe people
are apprehensive of danger'frooi men who
choose to take the law into their own hands
aud to fill the role of judge, jury and exe
cutioner.
Several parties told Mr. Bolton he was
running a terrible risk and one person de
clared that be would uot take the nighi
ride which the deputy proposed for all the
world. It is simple justice to the good peo
ple of DeKalb county to say that ip all
probability these fears are without any re:d
reason. The county is iu a peaceable co -
ditiou. The officers of the 1. w
strictly . performing their dut>
and tbe entire moral influence of the com
munity is exerted for peace and good order.
Mr. Bolto » says he saw no cau->e for the
alarm which seemed to prevail kogenerally.
Yesterday the case was called before
Commissioner Smith, and the following
parties appeared to answer the charge of
ku-kluxuig undersections 1508 and 1519 of
the Uuited States: Robert Weaver, Wa.
Forrest, VVm. Osborn, Pope Wooten, Thom
as Stewart, Wtu. Killian and Gus Killian.
The case opened and a number of wit
nesses were examined. Hon. H. P. Farrow
represented the government and General
Gartrell opened for the defense. Tbe facts
Of the case as gathered from all the con
flicting stories, seems to be as follows:
Last Friday night a negro named Harri
ot Blake was seen on the premises of Mr.
Floyd McAipin, who resides about VA
mile* from Stone Mountain. Tbe negro say*
ne went there to arrange for reining some
land. There seems to have arisen a isocial
scandal about this visit which was the
cause of the subsequent unfortunate event*.
It appears tbat Mr. McAipin is somewhat of
an imbecile and that liis family is not
popular in the neighborhood and had re
ceived several warnings that they had better
leave. The family consisted of Floyd
McAipin, his son William, aged 15 years,
and a daughter. Margaret Ann.
The latter trouble appears to have refer
red particularly to the daughter, and they
led immediately to the outrage.
Saturday night about ten o’clock a hand
of armed men, masked, and disguised in
various ways, went to the home of Air. Mc-
Alpio, violently broke into it, and there
outraged the law of the Und, as well
as the rights of private individuals.
They beat the old man aud his son. and
even went to the brutal extent of beating
thoswoman in a terrible manner. X ) mat
ter what offense the family, or any member
of it. may have given, the occurrence can
only be pronounced a . flagrant outrage
which the good people oi DeKalb county
and of the state will condemn
the most unqualified manner,
the members of the family
were badly hurt, but it appears that the
negro escaped the vengeance which might
have f(al!en upon him. It seems -that t ie
b >y via* hurt worst of ail and was brutal y
beaten witb a shotgun.
Richmond, November 27.—Two daring
misses of this place, aged eight and twelve
year*, played the heroioe and caused «
smalt alarm. They were the daughters af
tin* IsJe Hon. William J. Lusk, of Lancas
ter, and now reside here with their aunt,
Mrs. Dr. R. L. Brack. They heard that a
relative at Lancaster had numerous pres
ents for them upou their next visit, and re
solved to make it immediately. O.i Satur
day morning they stole away to the depot,
but the train had gone. They could not
tbinlc of disappointment, and set our to
walk to Lancaster,distant twenty-four miles.
They followed the railroad track through
cuts'and tunnels, woods and fields as fa- a*
Silver-creek station, where it occurred !o
them, that the telegraph could be used
agaiust them, whereupon, they betook
theimelves u> the turnpike. They were
correct in tbeir conclusion, for telegram-,
were fluent to Lancaster and to points along
the line as soon as the girls were miseed
from home. No riding* came, and Dr.
Breck set out in his buggy to make search.
Whether he heard of tnetn or not I have
not oaceraaiued, but a telegram from Lan
caster announced their safe arrival at that
place near nine o’clock at night. It was a
long, cold walk for the little Farthenians.

Washington, November 29.—Senator
Thurman arrived here this morning in bet
ter health than he has enjoyed for some
timet He is exceedingly reticent as to
what the democratic policy ia likety to be
during the present congress. M^hen asked
what he thought about the length of the
present session, he said lie did hot see why
it should be any shorter than the
first regular session of congress
usually is. No business, he said,
was done at the extra session, and really
congress has as much to do as though the
extra session had not been held. He de
clined to express any opinion as to whether
or not there would be any abandonment of
the position assumed by the democratic
party at the extra session, and intimated
that a party caucus would be called M an
early day to decide tbat question. What
course he iudividually would recommend
he declined to state. When asked if the
issue raised by the democrats during
the extra session affected the result
in Ohio he declared emphatically:
"No." "Ohio," said he. "is a republi
can state whenever they get. oat a
full vote. Sometimes the democrats carry
it. Massachusetts went democratic in 1874,
yet no one claims it asademoo-aticstateon-
Uiat account. The democrats in Ohio did
well tliw year, and in ordinary times/with
such a vote, we would carry the state.’
declined to express any opinion upon the
presidential prospects of next year, and
when asked about the Grant "boom" in his
state, said be knew nothing about it except
what he read in the newspafiers. He de
clined to express any opinion in relation to

A BOOM FOB JOSH HILL.
Special to the Baltimore American.
Washington, November 27.—The promi
nent mention of Judge Settle’s name in
connection with the second place on the
republican presidential ticket next vear,
and the constantly growing belief that some
eouthern man will be selected as a vice-
presidential candidate, seem* to have in
spired the friends of several other leading
southern republicans with the hope of suc
cessfully bringing their respective candi
date to the front. Two newspapers in
Georgia have no.ideated ex-Scnator Joshua
'Hill, of Georgia, for vice-president—one fa
voring Grant aud Hill, aud the other Sher
man and Hill. It is argued tliat Mr. Hill
will make a better tun than any other
southern man. Prominent in his state on
account of his great 1c-
learning, large wealth
and eminent respectability, he is in no way
identified with the |K>litical ring* of Ids
party, aud lias never been charged even in
directly with a wrong of any kind. Me.
Hill i* a native of Georgia, and from Uhj
close of the war has been a steadfast repub
lican. Previous to the rebellion he repre
sented his district in congress, and he may
be remembered aa the last southern member
who left the house of representatives iu
1861. And he then did so reluctantly, hav
ing failed in hi* efforts to dissuade his col
league* from their rash acts of secession.
Throughout the war Air. Hill was an out
spoken union man, though compelled by
reason of his large estates and family ties
to remain within the rebel lines. During
his six years in the pen ate he was noted
for his conservative, yet unwaAering, ad
herence to the policies of his party. He
did nothing to lose the respect of his peo
ple of either party, and is to day as highly
respect*! perhaps as any other man in
Georgia. This is the way some of his friends
hereabout talk. They claim that he is
more acceptable to the people of both par
ties in tbe *outh than Judge Settle. * The
latter served throughout the war on the
side of the confederacy, and joined the re
publican party at a time when he could no
longer actively oppose it, and when he had
every inducement to reidentifv himself
with it. On the other hand, Mr. Hill has
been consistent from the start. He is to
day what he was in 1801 and what he wa*
in 1865, and be persisted In being a union
man and a republican when the cost of
being either was great without hope of re
ward.

The Youth’s Companion, published by
Perry Maron. <k Co., of B.iston, ft a sprightly,
entertaining paper, deservedly popular, and
is, without exception, Ihe best 9! its kind
Tiublbhed in America. It is filled to over
sowing with the choicest original matter, of
*o diversified a character that it never fails
to interest, instruct and atuuse, and is wel

alike. Each year, during -the last half cen

THE CTBRENT OF INVESTIGATION.
There is not a day that passes but what
one colls at Tut Constitution office to
r sve his views as to the little milL Ail
* lo*-ei of men call, but they have only one
Tbe Colored People Continuing t
. Bay Land.
Some days ago The Constitution pub-
lisbfld the returns to the comptroller-geu-
eraJ's office, giving the total of .propeny
held subject to tax in the state. It will be
remesnbered that the total of taxable val
ues bad fallen off about $l,0u0,u00 in the
state.
We now have a showing to make that is
the reverse of that. The negroes of the
state instead of seeing O^eir propertv de
crease, have snugly added to it, and* their
total goes up to $5,182,398 this year, against
$5,131,875 last year, giving a net increase of
*57.323. This does not represent the actual
increase of negro property bat much less
than that. The bulk of negro property has
decreased in Talue at least 10 per cent.—so
that to merely bold their own, they would
have had to add about $60,000. They have
not Only done this but have gone*$57.523
over their old figures. In tbe one item of
Und alone, the negroes have added 39.309
acres to their possessions daring tbe hut
S ear, making a total of 341,199 acres owned
y negroes in Georgia. This record is a
good oue and shows that whatever may be
said elsewhere, we have the best of proof at }
home that the negroes are prospering 1
There axe only four negroes in the state I
worth over $10,000—so that the property of I
$5,182^98 is divided in small lots among tbe
segrues of all classes and all sections.
