Oku was horn tit Orrville, 8. C., August 9, 1819. • His father moved to Jackson county, Ga., in 1821. He graduated at Oxford Uni versity with the second honors of his ( class in 1844. In 1849 he studied law [ with Basil H. Overby in Jefferson, , Jackson county, and was admitted to the bar. He was elected principal of Jefferson Academy in 1847. He was married to his cousin, Miss Ella (J. Anderson, the daughter of William Auiterson, a physician and planter of Orrville, 8. C. Assisted by his wife he taught a female school at Covington, Ga. He filled tlie chair of Mathe matics' in Emory College from Janu ary 1849 to 1800. While Professor in Emory lie was appointed by Govern or Brown surveyor on a part of the boundary between Georgia and Flor ida. At the close of 1800, he was elec ted president of the Masonic College at Covington. In the fall of 1870 when Oglethorpe University was moved to Atlanta he accepted the Chair of Pro fessor of Mathematics, which he held for two years, wlten he was appoint ed State Commissioner of Education by Governor Smith. At the time of his deatli at his residence in Atlanta, lie was still the State Commissioner of Education of Georgia. At the close he was surrounded by li is relatives j and a large concourse of friends. Virtue Is Its Own Reward. J Among the signal instances of tile i easy road from wealth and honor I to ruin and wretchedness, ipay be ! pointed the following of very recent j happening: “The associated, press described a I very pathetic parting between Bank- i er Harper and his wife. Yet it must j have been a sadder scene in Mont- j gomery, the other day, when ex- Treasurer Vincent hade farewell to his family. Vincent gets fifteen years, while Harper escapes with only ton.’’ Banker Harper of Cincinnati, one year ugo stood among the foremost business men of a great city. He hud wealth, honor, troops of friends, but he sacrificed them all for the sin ful appetites of the tlesh. This in stance should remind the young men of the country that wealth and troops of friends will not save them from the penitentiary when they violate the laws of the land. Nearer home, we have the case of ex-Treasurer Vincent, of the State of Alabama. For, years and years he was the trusted fiduciary agent of a great State—lie was beloved by a large circle of friends, and had tlie confidence of the people of the State of Alabama. But he, too, fell—fell from the topmost pinnacle of honor and official station to the infamy and eternal disgrace of a felon’s cell. 1 Money he could have commanded i through wealthy friends who pitied, j loved him, and would have suffered > to save him: but all these were pow- I erless to turn aside the remorseless , blow of outraged law. Young men, cling to virtue. A \ great power is money: hut money, ! nor friends, nor political infiueuc.e can save you when tlie arm of the law is outstretched to strike in its own helmlf. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. In our Inst issue we gave our read ers the President’s message in full.—- It is devoted almost entirely to a con sideration of the Tariff question. He stated in conclusion, that other im portant matters may furnish the oc casion for a future communication. This annual message upon a single question is without a parallel in the history of our government. Our great and good President, in taking a seat to communicate with the representa fives of the people, felt unquestiona bly that this question loomed in mag nitude and importance above all oth ers, and the more so because it invol veil the honor of the great Republic as well as the rights and interests of the people. He not only saw the op pressions of the people, hut a plain violation of Hie constitution estab lished bv out;revolutionary fathers as the palladium of their liberty and rights. \Ve can see in this the deep earnestness of our great President and his great hearted devotion to the constitution and his unfaltering de votion to the people who placed in liis hands the protection of their rights. All this is seen in the fuct, that after due deliberation, he brave ly determined to make this question tile sole matter of his communication to cpngress. This message is well calculated to open the political drama with a start ling flourish in every section of our immense country. It evinces the be lief of the President that a critical period has arrived In our history which demands the effort of all pa triots to .’euiove the unconstitutional exactions of a tariff which heavily taxes an overwhelming portion of our people for the benefit of another por tion. Til# President regards it not only as a violent and fearful infrac tion of the constitution, but as a plague-spot of corruption and rotten ness, dangerous to the rights of a large majority of the people in thu North, in the South, in the East and in the West. Our good, wise and great President evidently sees danger in it as well as unmitigated wrong. There is no cure nor hope but in change. There is no room left for cunning inuendoes and exquiUtR trim mings. The Republicans nre already charging the President with a vulgar outcry founded in ignorance nud po litical chicanery. But can they re fute his argument? The President’s expose is complete. The protection policy, under his scalping knife, is ex posed to ignominious shame and the only escape for the protectionists that we can conceive of, is to shift quickly about and take the wind out of the democratic sails, by repealing the high taxes themselves. This is what we have told the democrats on sever al occasions in the last Bix months. The anti-protection message of our great, brave and honest Prefident, Grover Cleveland, lias been read witti pleasure and profit throughout, the country.

Probably no other State can boast as much, and in some of them almost all are foreign-horn. Georgia’s Representatives in the House are all natives of the State, hut Senator Brown was horn in South Carolina. In view of the howl that is going up from n portion of the Republican press because of Mr. Lamar’s appoint ment, the New York Herald says lie is very fortunate in that the State rights decision in the Virginia habeas corpus cases is rendered before he goes on the bench. Yes, if that decision had been rendered after Mr. Lamar assumed his duties, a general “I told vou so,” would have passed along th« line.

Augusta Exchange, > Augusta, Ga., Dec. 10, 1887.) There was such diversity of opinion among tlyi cotton factors and brokers respecting the probable outcome of this cotton crop that the Committee on Statistics and Information were di rected to make inquiries of their cor respondents within tlie counties of Richmond, McDuffie, Columbia, Lin coln, Elffert, Hart, Wilkes, Taliaferro, Green, Morgan, Futnaiu, Oglethorpe, Walton, Jasper, Baldwin, Hancock, Warren, Glasscock, Washington, Jef ferson and Burke, in Georgia, and Aiken, Barnwell, Edgefield, Laurens j and Abbeville, in South Carolina. | The following is the summary of their j report: That there remains unpicked in the fields about one per cent, of the ! crop; that there is at the gin houses | unginned about six per cent., aud in j hales about eight percent; that there is not as much cotton in the hands cf I tlie farmer as at this time last year; that the results from actual outcome proved as poor as predicteil in last report; that the crop lias not turned out rui average one, and that the av erage number of hales made to the horse proved to he only six. Up to the 28th of July last the con ditions were the best ever known in tliis country, but the ruins set in and continued for weeks, destroying the bright prospects held in July and from which the plant never recovered. It was thought at one time that tlie top crop would prove a success and in some measure make up thedefleit, hut with few exceptions it is reported a failure. The unusually good season for picking, tlie facility now at hand for marketing aud the high prices have stimulated tlie farmer to extra exertions, and, as the report shows, eighty-six per cent, of the crop in this section has already been marketed.

The Savannah News views witlii alarm the continued and rapid de struction of Georgia forests, and does- not extend a very cordial welcome .to strangew acquiring largo tracts ot forest lands in this State. It is not the News’ purpose to curtail the him her business, but the lumbermanV axe should not leave desolation be hind. “Measures looking to the pre sorvution of these forests or their re newal by planting, as they are remov ed to meet the demands of commerce, should not be long delayed.” A remarkable state of affairs is de veloped in this connection with re gard to timber lands in the southern part of this State. They are the most valuable, hut it is almost impossible to secure good titles to them, the ti tles resting on the old headright e» tahlfshed in colonial days. This, says the News, gives opportunity to un principled men, by tlie use of forged papers and other devices, to swindle purchasers. This practice lias so clouded the t itle to much timber land, as to make it practically the booty of the first man hold enough to seize it end defend his claim in the courtc< Perhaps tlie Legislature can find a remedy for this evil. It is important that it should lie remedied, as it is easy to understand that laud held by so uncurtain a tenure will be made to yield tlie utmost present profit, with out reference to tlie future. The Luoky One Found by Mrs. J. M Mason. She picked up her Argus-Leader and noticed that ticket 71,411 of t.lw last drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery had drawn the prize of $15, 000. It struck her that her ticket was somewhere near that number She was nearly tickled to deatli to find that it was 71,411. She Imd only put $1 in as a joke more than any thing else, and slip lias decided that joking pays.—Sioux Falls, (Dak.) Ar gus-Leader, Nov. 15. Debating Societies. 1 mean the old-fashioned country- debating schools, held in the school! houses by tlie roadside. By all means revive them. In the past, they were an important element in tlie educa tion of hundreds of our best public- men. Every American boy should be- n.ble to speak in public, and lie can learn to do so nowhere better than in the debating school. They cause tin- young to think, to read, to study. They promote social intercourse. Tney prevent stagnation of the intel lectual powers, so prone to result from, the isolation of country life. The teacher of the district, school can. strengthen himself in his work, am® do the neighborhood much good by- having a debate, ftt least once n month at his scitool—better once il week. Try it. —[Dr. G. O. Groff. Mr. \Y. L. Glessner, mi energetic and liberal Ohioan who moved to Americas, Ga., anil bus been running; the Recorder, thinks that Georgia farmers have every natural ad vantage over Ohio farmers, and wants them to make better use of their advan tages. Mr. Glessner wants more at tention paid to grasses, which, he says, mean cattle, sheep, hogs, the reclamation of old lauds, diversified farming, dairies, creameries and cheese factories. He is not far from right. For example, take Putnam county, in this State. Bermuda bot toms are being utilized there, good stock is being riised, and for the year ending in October lust 32,000 to 35,000 pounds of delicious Jersey butter were shipped out of tho county, some going as far as New York, and the prices ranging from 30c. to 40c. The dairymen there are making money, and farming with them promises to become simply an adjunct to the dai ry business. A convention of the citizens oi Alabama and other States interested in the navigation of the Tennessee river will be held at Decatur, January 18th, 1888, for tho purpose and with the object in view of procuring such action of the Congress of the United States, as may expedite the speedy completion of the public work on the Muscle and Colbert Shoals, and other obstructions in the Tennessee river. The use we make of our fortune de termines its sufficiency. A little is enough if used wisely, too much if ex pended foolishly.—Bovee
