changed by the laws of 1498.
What One Man Has Done.
No city In Georgia has grown so
rapidly in progress and population as
Americus; and it lias been the result
iu the main of one man’s pluck, good
judgment and enterprise. He begaryi
few years ago building a short rail
road from Americus to no where spec
ially, one end being in the woods; this
road was then extended, and the suc
cess was phenomenal. The people had
confidence in the man and backed
him up; and now Col. W. S. Hawkins
is not only wortli a half million dol
lars, but he has by himself and others
increased the wealth of the city from
two to three million dollars in the past
four years. Americus to-day owes its
growth and prosperity to Col. Haw
kins. What he has done for Ameri-
cus can be repeated in other small cit
ies. One man possessing the confi
dence of his fellow citizens who have
money, and who strikes out courage
ously on his own hook, is not apt to
have to work single-handed long
Capital is timid all know, but it keeps
its eyes wide open to its own interest.
Prof. D. H. Hill, Jr.
We copy elsewhere an article from
the Atlanta Constitution, quite com

Prof 1). II. Hill of Raleigh, N. C., on

We take this opportunity to say,
that, there are few more gifted men,
by education, by culture and by na
tivity than.Prof. Hill. While he was
in the chair of one of the most impor
tant professorships, English Lan
guage, in the Middle Ga. M. and A.
College in this city, he gave repute
tion to the college, and won a name
for himself that soon gave him higher
repute and higher salary. He is a
scholar, an intense lover of work that
he devotes himself to, and a Christian
gentleman, who will honor any com
muuity in which ids lot may be cast.

Through the courtesy of.Capt. C. H.
Andrews *f this city we were enabled
to read a splendid address, delivered
fifty-five years ago at the University
of Georgia. Its title page is, “An
Address on Female Education, deliv
ered before the Beuiosthenlan ami
Phi Kappa Societies, on the day af
ter Commencement at the University
of Georgia, by Daniel Chandler, Esq.,
a member of the Phi Kappa Society.”
It was printed by William A. Mercer,
at Washington, Ga., in 1835. It is a
grand Addrews by a man who became
famous at the South, and in the Union.
The pamphlet is addressed to Ed
win R. Andrews, Sparta, Ga.
* Hon. J. H. Blount.
The Atlanta Journal of last Tues
day pays the following well deserved
compliment to the Representative
from the Sixth Ga., district. Refer
ring to his appointment on the Com
mittee of Rules, the Journal says:
The cloak of Mr. Randall could not
have fallen upon worthier shoulders.
Mr. Blount will be an ornament and a
bulwark for the people of his state
and section.
We congratulate him and the peo
pie of Georgia and of South upon his
appointment.

The judiciary committee of the sen
ate lias already reported a bill sub
jecting imported liquors to the pro
visions of the laws of the several
states. This bill, if passed, will pre
vent the further establishing of “origi

that is now in full blast in Iowa. It
is to be hoped that the bill will be so
amended as to include adulterated
foods, obscene literature and the

Meanwhile, there is little likelihood
that the bill will become a law, and if
it is, it will not by any means fill the
tremendous hiatus in state rights
that th« supreme court court decision
has made. This is of far more impor
tance to the people of the states than
the fuss made by prohibitionists or
anti-prohibitionists.

Her
Americus Herald:—A young man
from the country says that he had h
game rooster that kept every other
fowl off of his heat, and last Monday
night he heard a fluttering in his
chicken house. The next morning he
investigated it and found the rooster
and a very large owl on the floor of
his hen house. The rooster had driv
en one of his spurs clear through the
owl’s head and it hung there; while
the owl had a death grip on the
rooster's wing. The owl was dead,
but the rooster, as soon as released
from the talons of the owl, stretched
hie neck and crowed lustily.

COLONEL NORTHEN TALKS.
AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM ON PUBLIC j
ISSUES.
Sparta, May 16.—The Ishmaelite
iu its issue to -morrow will publish the \
following interview with Hon. W. J. j
Northen:
The Ishmaelite asked Mr. Northen j
what lie had to say about the rumors
current over the state charging him
with favoring corporations against
the people. He replied:
“As I hear them, they are absolute
ly false. No man has ever heard me,
iu auy way, advocate the supremacy
of corporations and the consequent
subjection of the people. I have nev
er done anything to authorize such n
statement, nor to bring about such a
result.”
“Every corporation lias its guaran
teed rights and the state is bound to
protect them. 1 am absolutely op
posed to granting any rights to any
corporation that makes encroach
ments upon the reserved rights of the
people, or the interest of the masses.
1 would Vie glad to see all coporations
under the fullest protection of tile
law. go forward successfully to the
development of the state, but I would
not be willing, nor. if in office, would
1 ever consent to see them advance
one step upon tile rights of the peo
ple. The first bill lever introduced
and pressed to passage in the general
assembly looked to the restraining of
corporations in the interest of the peo
ple. It is the duty of the state to pro
tect all classes of its citizens and give
undue advantage to none.”
Do you own any stock in any rail
road or other coporation?
“Not a dollar, and I never did.”
Hid you ever hold any official po
sition on any railroad, or other corpo
ration?
“I never did. As I never owned
any stock, it is not to be expected
that I ever held any official position.
I have no personal interest whatever
in any corporation and never did.”
It is said that you are not an advo
cate for the railroad commission. Is
that true?
“That statement is absolutely false.
I have advocated the commission
from the beginning, and no man in
Georgia is more heartily in favor of it
than I.”
“You can sny that I never uttered a
word or cast a vote upon the com
mission that I did not believe at the
time was for the strengthening of the
commission in the Interest of the peo
ple and for the good of the state.”
You are charged with having made
agreements looking to appointment
and favor with such parties as might
aid your election; in fact, that you
are under some obligation, or, in some
way, committed to coporations to
favor them in legislation beyond what
Is due them. What have you to say
to the public about these charges?
“I have to say that it is the duty
of the man who makes the charges to
proceed at once to prove them. If I
have done snch a thing the people of
Georgia ought to know it without
further delay.”
“I deny that I have entered into
any agreement, either directly or in
directly, tacitly or openly, with any
man or set of men, to confer any fa
vor, extend any help or make any ap
pointment, based upon aid in my
election. I have not expressed or in
timated to any man that I will ex-
