A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
A Mate’s Reminiscences of Bruns-

board the schooner Afcbic
now lying in tho-stream- awaiting a
berth, taking a picture of the vcs
sels in port, for our trade pamphlet.
As the photographer was adjusting
his instrument, the mate of the
schooner, Mr. Chas. C. Hatch, re
marked to the writer:: “This would
hare been a strange sight thirty-
eight years ago. I came in here then
on. the first square rigger that ever
came into this port. Sho was com
manded by my brother David L.
Hatch. My brother and, Mr. A. G.
Jewitt, who came with him, left the
schooner hero in charge of the mate
and built right' up there on the
shore, in front of tho B. & W. R.JR.
offif-c, the first i Btcamboat ever bui
bere—the Atlantic—she was a Stern
wheel. boat, and before the engineer
could get here, Mr. Jewitt loaded
her up and started for Augusta.
When on the way up the steam be
gan to escape and neither Mr. Jewitt
nor the nej-ro pilot knew what to do,
so^they run her aground, got a snag
into her and there she stuck. She
was sold afterwards with her cargo for
$16,000—I don’t know what ever bo
came of her.”
The mate hardly thought then
that thirty-eight years afterwards he
would stand on the deck of asekoner
id, fropi*)f-ttW’SSme spot and witness
" ' ’ “pig Square rig-
steamers, in the same harbor.' The
changes have been trfily wonderful,
not only on the water front, but the
buildings as well.

More Thau They Can Handle.
The recent influx of vessels, some
seventeen square riggers, all of
which have to go to quarantine
ground to discharge their ballast,
have put our Harbor Committee on
their mettle to know what to do with
them. So far our quarantine wharves
have been sulflcient for nil that came,
but not so now.
Council met this morning and
recognizing that an emergency was
on hand, they set about to remedy it.
Thoy telegraphed Lieut. Carter to
know if some of the vessels could not
discharge ballast behind the jetty
line and then instruct the committee
to go to work at onee and drive some
piling at quarantine and rig a place
where these vessels could discharge
their ballast. In this way they hope
to rcliove the pressure as promptly as
possible, but even now there will be
much delay.
The fleet of vessels now upon us
and a dozen more that arc soon to
come, teaches us the great importance
of having a suitable quarantine sta
tion—one provided with all the nec
essary wharf room to accomodate all
who need it. Council has had this
matter before them for several years
and have never yet worked out a so
lution of the problem. They do not
want to spend any unnecessary money
on temporary places and so far no
permanent one has been secured that
is considered fully advisable.

THE STATE FAIR.
It Opens Next Monday—A Grand
Display of Georgia Resonfbes.
The Macon Telegraph inc'ojiimcnt-
e 8tat**air. fiays:. We are
Fair
.which will open in Macon;next Mon
day, will be an adtnrrdftle display of
Georgia resources. The . pgoplq are
not only coming to the fair* but they
are sending exhibits, big Ibid little,
from all parts ot the'"state, The
competition of counties 1 trill excel
anything of the sort ever seen in this
state.
From every section there will
come the products of Georgia soil
and the results of Georgia industry
to make the display truly representa
tive of tho entire state.
In nothing have Georgia farmers
made so much progress recently, as
in the very,
stock raising. There ha\$ bfeen six
or eight county colt shoVs in tho
state this fall. Home raised horses
and mules are common in localities
which a few years ago depended
upon the enterprise of other states;
Tho pick of Georgia raised stoek
will be seen in Macon next week,
and we have no doubt that the stock
show will be a surprise to the aver
age visitor. If the States Fair gives
an impulao to tbo growir ' business
of stock raiding, It will 1 2 of perma
nent benefit to our peopl . There is
no reason why every hort ; and mule
needed on a Georgia fa an shout'd not
be raised in- the state.
The staple attractions of the Fail’
iriety and
quality the agricultural exhibits will,
we have no doubt, show a marked ad
vance on tho efforts of previous years.
This has been a good crop year, and
Georgia agriculture is becoming con
stantly more of a science, There
will be the usual special features to
amuse the crowds. A fine racing
programme has been arranged, witli
a largo number of entries. There
will be fireworks and other amuse
ments in tho city every night.
The Florida Orange Crop.
Florida promises to surpass herself
in tho production of oranges tills
year, says a northern newspaper.
The planting of now orange groves,
wluct^ has been carried on so oxten-
sively for tho last five years, is now
beginning to affect the crop. Tho
total acreage of the Florida groves is
estimated at 80,000, and tho number
of trees at 3,000,000. The schemes
of the land boomers have induced
new arrivals to set out trees in soil
that is not congenial, and hundreds
of acres of carefully Vented groves
will never yield fruit in large enough
quantity to pay for cultivation. The
good lands, however, will produce
a crop that will not only .exceed
any former crops, but will bo double
tho average crop. Last year 1,250
boxes were produced, and about tho
same amount tho preceding year.
Democrats, be of good cheer. From
all parts of tho country good tidings
come. The peoplo realize the mag
nitude of the issue which is before
them. They arc rallying to the sup
port of the party which has given the
honest, clean, capable and brave ad
ministration. Next Tuesday will
witness a grand democratic victory.

A Shrewd Scheme.
[From Tho Savannah Morning Xews.J
Are the republicans planning to
carry one or more of the southern
states by assisting tho prohibition
ists to get out a big vote? There
are certainly some reasons for think
ing so. A liberal supply of prohibi
tion tickets, having the name^of the’
requisite number of electors ou them
has been sent to this state, and,
doubtless, the same thing has been
done so far as other southern states
arc concerned.
Of course there is no danger that
the prohibitionists will poll a suffi
ciently large vote in this state to en
danger the success of the democratic
ticket, because nearly all the prohi
bitionists are democrats and the
number of them who will vote the
national prohibition ticket is not
sufficiently large to cause any uneas
iness about the democrats carrying
tter of (thiagtatc. If dll the prohibitionists,
howeW, were to vote tho prohibi
tion ticket the democrats would
have to\work pretty hard to elect
their ticket.
But while there is no danger to be
apprehended from the prohibition
ists in this state, can the same thing
be said with respect to Florida, West
Virginia, Tirginia and Tennessee?
In all of these states the prohibi
tionists are strong, and the great ma
jority of them are democrats. If
they should almost solidly vote the
national prohibition ticket would
there not be a pretty good chance
for the republicans to carry ono or
more of these states? In Florida,
for instance, tho republican party is
pretty -well organized led will poll.it By actual const over nlwtmifctltaU,*
Jacksonville’s Trials.
The official report shows, 32 now
cases and one death up to six o’clock
yesterday evening. But now a now
a new trouble comes up, the ignorant
blacks demand that their present
wages be kept up, that ’there be no
reduction in tboir rations. They
threaten to break open stores and
dwellings, and plunder, unless their
demands are complied with. The
relief committeo only have $71,000
left, with a weekly expenditure of
$35,000 and six weeks, at (east, yet
to run.
No new cases in Gainsville. They
arc begging for help.
Fcrnandinn has 10 new cases. Be
sides tbo yellow fover, they have
there another fever which thes term
the “prevailing fever.”
Varying Adages.
The New \ r ork Evening Post has
caused an investigation to bo made
as to the wages now paid certain
classes of workingmen in different
American cities. -The result is in
teresting, but wo have not space for
the tabular statement which the Post
prints. A few items from it will
serve our purpose. In New York
carpenters are paid $3.50 a day; in
Trenton, N. J., only a few miles
away, they arc paid $2.25; in Boston,
$2.43 to $2.79. House painters arc
paid in New York $3.50; in Cinci-
natti, $1.75; in Chicago, $2.25 to $2.-
70. Day laborers arc paid $1.9$ to
$2.25 in Boston; in Cincinatti $1.15;
in Chicago $1.80 to $2.70. The dif
ferences in other callings arc almost
large vote. If the contest is only be
tween the democrats and the repub
licans, there is no doubt that tbo
democrats will carry tho state by a
handsome majority, but if the prohi
bitionists generally should vi\te the
prohibition ticket the republicans
might get the state.
Tho democratic manager of Flor
ida should warn those of the prohi
bitionists who arc democrats, of tiro
danger to which they would expose
the democratic ticket in that state,
by supporting tiio prohibition ticket.
The prohibitionists know, of conrse,
that there is no probability that pyo
bihitiou ticket will be elected, and if
those democrats of Florida who be
lieve in prohibition should voto tiro
prohibition ticket tbey would not
help their cause, but they might do
the cause of democracy irreparable
damage.
In the north tiro more votes the
prohibition ticket gets, the better it
will be for tire cause of democracy,
but such is not the case in tho south.
Tho democratic managers in the
southern states should see to it thnt
democrats of their respective states
who approve of prohibition do not
make the mistake of voting the
prohibition ticket, thinking the dem
ocratic ticket is sure to be elected.
By voting the prohibition ticket dem
ocrats will be simply playing into
the bands of republican..

The following is from a Grass Lake
Mich., daily: “LastMonday morning
while a small knot of men were talk
ing together at the Central depot in
Jackson, the peep of a chicken was
distinctly Heard. Thereupon one of
the number opened his vest, and in
an inner pocket was revealed a chick
en just hatched' and still partly in
its shell. He reported thnt he had
carried an egg for twenty one days
on a $10 wager that it would hatch
from tho natural warmth of his per
son."

abreast, through a pouring rain iu
the grand democratic procession in
New York last Saturday. There are
enough democrats in New York to
break the heart of tho Republican
party next Tuesday, nnd they will
do it.
Georgia has the proud distinction
of the most solid State in the solid
south. Georgia should show that
she deserves this reputation by poll
ing a great vote for Cleveland and
