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. (Jo to J. Michelson for your Now port Dress Corduroy, in all tbo In test shades. Y. M. A.

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. Syrup' of Figs Natures own true laxative.

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.

[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." Don’t forget if you want a good square meal to go to the’ Brunswick Dining Parlor, where you can get one at any time from 6 a. m to II :30 p.m. sand business men marched, thirty 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 Thurman next Tuesday.
