The State Committee’s Good Work.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
tiw magnificent management of the
>democratic campaign by the state exe-
.vutive committee, of which Hon. F. G.
xkiBignon is chairman.
From the very first the campaign
was pitched on a high plane, and there
•was never a variation from this policy
inaugurated at the beginning by Chair
man duBignon. The contest was fought
-on issues which did not involve bitter
personalities, and which appealed
neither to the prejudices nor the pas
sions of the people of the state. It was
va clean campaign from start to finish,
And it goes on record as one ot the
most memorable campaigns ever fought
in the history of the state.
To the brilliant young chairman, who
stook the brunt of the fight on his shoul
ders, The Constitution extends its
.hearty congratulations. He has done
a great work for the democracy of
Georgia, and the party will join The
’Constitution in extending to him as
surances ot hearty appreciation. He
has watched every detail ot the can
vass, lias had his hand at the helm in
every county in the state, and by his
constant and close attention to the
welfare of the party, has succeeded,
•with the ready aid of his colleagues on
fhe committee, and with the inspiring
-Assistance lent by the name of as good a
man as was ever nominated for govern
or ot Georgia, or any other state, in
lulling up just such an old time majori-
•tv as The Constitution predicted when
Candler was nominated for governor.
All praise, therefore, to the state
xmimittee, to Chairman duBignon and
to the democracy ot the state!—Atlan
ta Constitution.
A NOBLE MAN GONE.
C*pt. Steven B. Marshall of Eatonton
Was r Typical Southern Gentleman.
Eatonton, Ga., Oct. 8.—The large
majority received by Col. Candler
calls to mind the lamented Capt. Steve
H. Marshall, who so recently died in
our midst. He was so deeply in
terested in a big victory for Col. Can
dler. Capt. Marshall was himself a
jrand old Confederate soldier, and in
the closing years of his life, talked much
ot the Virginia campaigns. Indeed,
these same, campaign hardships shorten
ed his life by ten years. He was horn
Eatonton in 1836 and died September
181*8. Capt. Marshall ran a hotel
in Millcdgeville for many years and was
beloved by the traveling public, who
■appreciated his kindness and his lofty
•character.
When no longer able to work, like
i'om Burney, he returned to his old
home to die. His love of the old home
—this principle of local attachment so
deeply implanted in the hearts of the
Southern people—is what gives to the
South her strength. Her people are not
nomads, live not in rented flats, but
are home-dwellers, and whether the
viueelad cottage or the more pretentious
palace, the ailections; cling about it.
Though Capt. Marshall died not upon
the battlefield, yet in all the coming
years the grave of this old soldier will
be strewn with flowers and every 2Gth
<lay of April his virtues will be recalled
and his memory kept fresh and fragrant
by the Southern people,
3n his feebleness he asked no pen
sion of his state, but asking aid of none
but God, he and his noble wife went
forth to repair the losses of war, and
together they continued in daily toil
until Capt. Marshall was called away
to perpetual rest and peace.

Tribute to J. C. White.
I beg of you to allow me to express
through your columns a few details and
facts in regard to my dear old teacher,
the late Mr. J. C. White of Budleigh
Salterton, Devon, England. In addi
tion to what has been previously stated
through these columns, I wish to say
that he was first employed in Baldwin
ciunfy as school teacher by my father,
D. B. Hill, and my uncle, James A.
Hill, in the following manner:
In those days nearly every big plan
ter took in travelers and iny father was
uo exception to the custom. So on a
winter’s eyening in 1843, there came
along the road afoot a traveler who re
quested a night’s lodging, and as he
was an affable and neat looking young
man, notwithstanding his tramp of 12
14 miles, his request was immediate
ly granted. During the evening’s con
versation he stated that he was an
Englishman (a fact already known to
us by his foreign accent) in search of
employment. He came by the Central
Railroad to Gordon, then its terminus,
if I mistake not, and from this place
walked to my father’s house.
Father and uncle now seized upon
the good opportunity of procuring a
thoroughly competent teacher, such as
they believed Mr. White was, and such
he certainly proved himself. In a few
lays the young Englishman was duly
installed as teacher in a little rude log-
cabin on my father’s plantation, then
known as Sycamore Level, about 10
miles west of Milledgeville. Teaching
this school was his first work in this
country, I think.
Mr. White’s school was not a public
school as that term implies today, but
on the contrary lie was very particular
to whom lie admitted. He taught
the children of only five or six fami
lies; his school never numbered over
18 or 20 pupils. He conducted his
school as lie thought best and accord
ing to his own methods, for lie brooked
no interference from his patrons; nor
did they insist upon giving it, tor by so
doini their children were promptly dis
missed from his school.
I must here say that we were very
fortunate in securing such an excellent
teacher as Mr. White surely was. For
to him I myself owe the greater part
of the knowledge I possess of books.
I bad been to several teachers before
going to him and bad been pronounced
very dull; but he aroused in me a li
king and understanding for books which
astonished myself and my parents.
Seeing the nicely built school houses
of today reminds me of the rude and
roughly built bouse in which Mr. White
taught school. Situated upon a little
hill within a quarter of a mile of the
spring was the school house—a real
pioneer school bouse, such as a teacher
of today would not deign to enter. In
size it was about 18 by 18 and built of
split pine logs with large crevices be
tween the logs which substituted the
place of windows. The desks were
made of rough boards, and the seats
were made ot logs with no backs to the
puncheon scats, as they were called.
The smaller ones found it quite diffi
cult to keep an upright position upon
these rude seats, but woe to the one
who became drowsy and tumbled off.
Only a stick and dirt chimney did this
log-cabin have and so many times have
all the boys been hurried off to the
spring with tin buckets, jugs, gourds
and whatever other vessels they could
procure that would hold water, with
the exclamation from our teacher: “Get
to the spring boys as fast as feet will
carry you, for the chimney is afire/’

would have in goilg to and from the

family, and accordingly we saw much
of him during his stay at the Academy,
for he frequently walked out to our
house on Friday evening, remaining
over with us Saturday and returning
to town Sunday evening.
After teaching a year or two at the
Academy he returned to his native
land. No teacher was more highly re
spected and better loved than this
young Englishman by his country pu
pils. He was regarded by us almost
as a member of the family. Although
he returned to England about 50 years
ago, he kept up an occasional corre
spondence with me and remained my
firm friend. I was anxious to employ
a private teacher some years ago and
applied to him to recommend some one
to me. Several young Englishmen ap
plied for the position, which finally his
own son, Mr, II. C. White, accepted
and filled for a year or two. After
wards bis brother, Mr. N. S. White,
upon the return of bis brother, came
over as private tutor for me. So by
some singular fate these two young
men were engaged in the same occupa
tion and upon the identical ground that
their father was some 40 years before.
Of my old teacher’s former pupils
the greater namber have preceded him
to the shadow land. I can mention of
the survivors my three cousins, Mrs.
Seymore, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs.
Hodges of Macon, Ga., my niece Mrs.
Ross ot Dallas, Texas, my sister Mrs.
M. A. White of Milledgeville, Ga.,
and myself.
That we all meet our beloved teacher
and friend in that land of sweet rest
and peace is the sincere wish of his
former pupil, B. II. Hill.

A Conversation Between Two Farmers at the New
Post Office.
Two farmers, one from Wilkinson couuty and the other from
Hancock, met the other day in front of the new Post Office, and
the following conversation occurred: I declare “Jones,” this is a
big improvement, and Milledgeville should be proud of her Post
Master and new office and fixtures. Yes, “Smith,” and I tell you
Milledgeville is on the up grade and don’t you forget it. Why
have you been down to see Barrett’s new offices at his warehouse.-*
It is really better than the Post Office, and it is simply “out of
sight.” In the first place, it is so convenient for the Farmers; and
I tell you, Smith, Barrett made a “ten stroke” when he engaged
such a good, reliable country fellow, right out of Hancock county
for his weigher. You see John L. Harper is a country boy and we
farmers like to see our “Farmer Boys” looking after our business;
and another thing, “Smith,” Barrett has got an eye for business,
and his kind attention to his customers will bring him plenty of
trade. Come, “Smith,” let us go down with this load of cotton and
try him. His arrangements down there and the men he has with
him kinder makes me want to give him a trial, and from what they
all say, when you once start with him you can’t feel right any where
else. Well,.“Jones,” you seem so “stuck” on Barrett’s warehouse I
believe I will go with you this time, and let you know the result
later on. And by the way, do you take the Union Recorder? Yes.
Well I will tell you through that how I came out. Good bye, and
be good to yourself and interest, and we will meet again at Barrett s
Warehouse.
spring.
Mr. White bad very strict rules in
school and his pupils were compelled
to obey them or else take a severe
chastising. He not only managed his
pupils during school hours but took an
active part in doing so at home. Mr.
White boarded with my parent*. Our
family had quite a number ot young
people, all of whom were his pupils,
and therefore had to observe very strict
rules. One ot these was for the boys
to gather pokeberries from which lie
showed us how to make ink. Another
was that all who wrote, must be sure to
come provided with a goose-quill-pen
and a bottle of pokeberry ink. To
make these preparations was evening
or Saturday work. He was in the habit
of rewarding us for good lessons * or
for any little service which we per
formed for him out of school, This is
an instance which I plainly recall, my
first ten dollars was given me by him
tor allowing him to ride mV pony “Fan
nie” to Milledgeville lor bis mail.
Alter teaching school at Sycamore
Level for one year, his fame as a teach
er spread, consequently be was persuad
ed to accept a position as teacher in
Crawford county. He did not remain
there long owing to a difficulty between
two of bis male pupils, which so dis
pleased him with the school that be
resigned. He then returned to Bald
win county and was employed by my
mother (my father being dead,) to fill
the same position he previously held.
However, we were soon to lose our
teacher again, for after another year’s
teaching at Sycamore Level, be accept
ed a position as teacher at the Acade

had become a very dear friend of the
