Mr J D- Bales of Wilkinson coun-
v sent to us a day or t wo since a few
wide of wheat which gave promise
an excellent yield. If they are a
ir sample of the wheat crop of our
ection we mav count upon having a
ood supply of “cake bread,” as the
arkies used to call it, made of the
roduct of our own land.
Distant associations need not be so-
citous or take much risk about our
ibor or capital. Our great industry
run chiefly on credit. The farm
unds get about all the crops and, in
,any cases, as much more as can be
mined by mortgaging the land.

Ngood h a uK ralburst °f daughter
Hoover the Incendiary.
A man by the name of Hoover, pro
fessedly from North Carolina, made his
appearance in this city during the
early part of last week and took quar
ters at the Edwards House. It soon
became known that lie win moving
about among the colored people and
Mad made speeches on two dilTerent
occasions at the house of Peter (VNeai,
a leading man among them, and that
his addresses were of a character to
excite feelings of bitter hostility on
tlie. part of the blacks against the
whites, lie pretended to be a repre
sentative of the Knights of Labor and
it is said lie organized,a lodge of that
order here, obtaining an initiation
fee of .),) cents from each member, ■
winch amounted to a considerable
sum in his pocket. He is said to have
persuaded the negroes that they had
been for years past cheated out* of a
fair return for their labor bv the
whiteB and that they should demand I
a dollar and a half a day for their
work and if their demands should be
refused, he advised his hearers to en
force them by using the torch and
even the shedding of blood, if it
should become necessary to the ac-
oompn8hment of their purposes. The
effect upon some of the negroes was
very bad and no one could doubt there
would soon be a bitter state of feel
ing here between the two races where
peace and good will have heretofore
prevailed, ir such a firebrand as Hoov
er were given full liberty to sow the
seeds of hostility and bitterness be
tween them.
Hoover was notified by Mr. Warren
Edwards that lie would get himself
into serious trouble by his course of
proceed tire here, when lie spoke in a
most offensive and defiant manner
so much so that Mr. Edwards told him
to leave 1 iis house.
He finally left here however and
proceeded to Warrenton, where,
while making a speech to the negroes
in one of the colored churches, he in
dulged in language of so despicable
and dangerous a nature—similar to
that mentioned above—that he was
shot at from a window at some little
distance anil plentifully sprinkled
with bird shot, which put out one
of liis eyes and so wounded him about
the head and shoulders, that it is
doubtful whether he will recover. He
made his way from Warrenton to
Augusta where we are informed lie is
lying at this writing (Saturday) in a
very precarious condition.
Peter O’Neal, at whose house
Hoover made his speeches, in this
city, was warned by an anonymous
letter to leave here within five days.
He 1ms protested that he is innocent
of any desire to stir up strife between
the races and hopes he may be allow
ed to remain here in peace, and asks
at least for more time to dispose of his
property, if he is forced to leave. How
it will result remains to be seen.
Augusta, May 21.—*A. F. Hoover,
the man who was shot by a mob in
Warrenton Tuesday night, and who
came here yesterday, left on the
Georgia train to-day for Madison, to
meet his wife. He is In a critical con
dition and was advised by physicians
not to leave, but would do so. It is
a miracle that he has held on to life
so long, and now physicians say there
is some chance of his recovery, al
though it is extremely doubtful.
Millkdgkvillk, Ga., >
May 19th, 1887. >
Editor Union-Recorder:
Much lias been said anil written
about the future of our town and how
best to reacli the greatest possibili
ties.
It is generally conceded, that, whilst
northern experience and capital are
falling into Southern enterprises
thick as rain, it would be well for us
to concentrate some of it here. But
to do this we must make a beginning
ourselves. Northern nabobs are not
going to come here and help us to be
manufacturers out of sympathy. We
must get up some inducements to
capital in the way of real estate or
manufacturing, then we can get all
the money we want.
The monied men here are very
well satisfied to put their funds out
to well known parties at 13 per cent.,
and need to be shown that there is
better profit in something else before
they are willing to cliapge.. ,
Suppose some one or two men were
to buy up a good sized tract of land
lying on the banks of the river near
the falls, and were to cut it up in lots
and advertise it far and near after
the most improved fashion. Don’t
you think it would beat 12 per cent,
as an investment? Let them reserve
enough to build a cotton mill on, and
form a stock company. When once
in fair shape they can get all the
northern capital they want. There
are the Eagle.A DhiuniX Mills, at Col
umbus. 1 am informed that the
stockholders never have paid in over
50 per cent, anil that they have in
creased their capacity and enlarged
tlieir plant almost every year out of
tlie profits that accrued. I am also
informed that they cleared 44 percent,
on their investment last year. Can
not such figures tempt some of our
citizens to investigate and start a
real estate or manufacturing boom
for Milletlgeville!
Respectfully yours,
Smollkt.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
As Mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucus surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable phy
sicians, as the damage they will do
are ten fold to the good you can pos
sibly derive from them. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney A Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury anil is taken internally
and acts directly upon the blood and
mucus surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure
that you get the genuine, it is taken
