THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
The citizens cf Lincoln are remind¬
ed that on the first Tuesday in April
they are requested to meet at the court
House for the purpose of selecting dele¬
gates to the State convention. It seems
to be pretty generally conceded through¬
out the State that Mr. Boynton will
fill out the unexpired term. There is
no question that he will be the choice
of Lincoln county. The people seem
to have taken up the idea as expressed
by General Toombs that by electing Mr.
Boynton, without any 'wrangling is the
proper way to show respect for Mr.
Stephens. Mr. Boynton is now Gov¬
ernor by virtue of his office. Is there
any reason why he should not be elect¬
ed ? We think not.
THE GRADING.
There has been considerable impa¬
tience on the part of the country people
to see the grading on our Railroad be
gin. Looking at the deep interest, we
take in the matter this is altogether
natural. The work cannot be carried
on to completion too hurriedly for us.
President Verdery, whose heart and
soul are in the interprise, is just as
anxious as are the people. He had
determined as Boon as the survey was
made to Lincolnton to com mence break¬
ing dirt, but this would necessitate a
discontinuance of the survey, for chief
engineer Dwight’s presence would be
demanded to direct the work. So at the
earnest request of Capt. Dwight he has
determined to push the survey through
to Elberton at the earliest practicable
period, by 1st April anyway. The En
S' gineers are now moving over much
better ground and it may be safely said
that in perhaps a few days a most com¬
plete and satisfactory line will be lo¬
cated. President Verdery is now mak¬
ing contracts for the grading.
The Surveyors are this morning in
the neighborhood of Fishing Creek.
Capt. D. B. Cade has his stamps at
work at the Sale Mine. Under his able
management rich results are bound to
follow. The Captain was never known
to fail.
It is gratifying to see that Elbert
County is wakmg up to its duty in the
building of the Railroad. We are told
that several thousand dollars have re¬
cently been added to the stock sub¬
scribed in that county.
Prsident Verdery rip rts things
moving in Augusts, additional stock
taken recently in the A. E. & C- R.
R. and the prospect altogether satis¬
factory. He will be in Lincolnton
next Tuesday. The people will be
veiy glad to see him.
The late Gov. Stephens had a strong
aversion to pork. He always had his
meals in his room when in Washing¬
ton, and one morning the waiter at
the National had thoughtlessly put a
dish of sausage on the Governor’s break¬
fast-tray. Nosionerhad the gentle¬
man discovered the offensive dish than
he pitched it at the waiter’s head. So
soon as his wrath was over he gave the
astounded darkey a dollar, and told
him never to serve him with poik
again in any shape.— Evening News
Capt. Dwight, our civil Engineer,
says that he has just received news ot
a splendid present We felt anxious to
know what it was, and upon inquiiy
learned that his wife had presented
him with a young fairy. Well, Cap¬
tain, we wish you a great deal of good
luck and if you have this in twelve or
fifteen years you will find this present
very expensive. The Captain, we learn
will push his preliminary survey to
Lincolnton before commencing the lo¬
cating survey. Correspondence, Harlem
Sentinel.
The local of the Lincolnton News
says: “We must be pardoned for re¬
ferring so frequently to the beautiful
young ladies of our town, for they
cannot be excelled in the South.”
There is no need of any asking for par¬
don in such a case, neighb >r. That is
not your offense. It consists in the fact
that you think it necessary to apolo¬
gize for making frequent and loving
remarks about tbe girls. Don’t do so
any more, or the girls may resent it.—
Macon Telegraph.
Let there be no false issue thrust
into the gubernatorial contest. The
man best qualified for discharging the
duties of the office should be nomina¬
ted when the convention meets. This
consideration should decide the ques¬
tion .—Macon Telegraph.

—An Interesting Sto¬
ry From Middle
Georgia.
Special to The Constition.
HaWkinsville, March 16—Colonel
T., of this county, is a gfetiileman of
the old regime, and his memory is a
perfect treasure house of incidents,
events, and people that belong to ante
helium days-those grand old dais i
that may well be called “the golden
age” of the south. Oue night last week
I sat reading to him column after col¬
umn of The Constitution, and all about
the noble life and death of Georgia’s;
honored governor.
“Colonel,” I said,as I slowly laid the i
paper aside,reluctant to leave so grand
a theme, “Colonel, did you know Mr.
Stephens in his younger days ?”
Did I know him? \\ til, no, not
intimately, for our lives moved in very
d.fferent channels, he alwats belonged
just to the public, while I have ‘always been
what I am now, a plain, homespun
Georgia planter. 1 was acquainted
with him, however, when he was in the
prime of life, having often met and
talked with him. That was in the days
when a planter could a ffml a holiday
abroad now and then, and so catch a
glimpse of the great world and the peo
pie in it ”
“And" do you believe, sir,” I asked
“this story of his desperate encounter
with Jud"-e Cone ?"
“Believe it! I know it. I saw him
just after it happened. He was mak
ing a speech iu Macon, and his hand
was in a sling, on account of the wound
from Cone’s knife. I can tell you an
other little incident, probably forgot
ten by most people, for I never see it
in Then' print”
Colonel T. told the following
story, which I give in his own words:
‘ One night in the year ’52 or ’53 -I
am not positive about the date, Mr.
Stephens was a passenger on the regu
lar night train from Atlanta to Macon,
due in Macon about 11 o’clock. It was
a short train, only the engine, one bag¬
gage car, and then two passengers
coaches. It was a bright, moonlight
night, clear as crystal, and the train
was thundering along on time, and
rapidly nearing its destination, all in
ihe usual way. Most of the passengers,
and there were not a great m my on
board, were napping. Mr. Stephens
was iu deep conversation with some
gentlemen whom I did not know. Just
before reaching Vineville, a suburb of
Macon, there is a curve and a high
embankment, a very high embank¬
ment.
“A bad looking place for an acci¬
dent,” had been remarked time and
again in my hearing, not on that par¬
ticular night, however; and right at
that place an accident occurred, in
which Mr. Stephens was brought face
to face with death. But he did not die,
no there was great work laid out for
him, work that he alone was great
enough to do. The train was thunder
ing along on time, when, suddenly, as
it was turning that curve, the engine
gave several unearthly shrieks, one af¬
ter another. It intended to frighten
somebody or something that stood in
its path, that was evident. More than
one slumberer roused up to ask what
was the matter, and many heads were
thrust out in search of information.
Cattle on the track, seven or eight of
them; we could see them plainly in the
moonlight; but though the engine
was close upon them and the whistle
was shrieking its warning in their ears,
the foolish ^things kept straight ahead
“We are on shouted a
ger, drawing in hi3 head. The engine
got over them some how, the engine
and tender; the baggage car, I don’t
know what became of it, but I remem¬
ber very distinctly the startling way iu
which our passenger coach went tum¬
bling down that embankment heels
over head, turning a complete summer¬
sault, and landing on its feet at
last. Bat it was a wreck-—
top smashed in and half gone, and
just used up generally. Passengers
were bruised and scratched in eve ;
conceivable way-3ome bones broken,
too-and they were jammed and cram
med into all manner of strange places
and positions. No one was so badly
hurt as Mr. Stephens. He was hang¬
ing to the top of the car somehow,
some broken peices of timber had
caught the leg of his pants and held
him there. Be sides various other
bruises and hurts his arm was broken
in two places. He had received a ter¬
rible blow on his head and was insen¬
sible. No one was able to help him
and he remained in that position until
kind people came to the rescue. They
were not long in coming. Tha con¬
ductor was ou the engine or tender as
it went over the cattle. Mr. Dave
Young, of Atlanta, was the conductor.
He was a step son I think, of Dr.
Tnompson, of the old Thompson hotel
in that city. As Dave Young looked
back from the engine and saw the con¬
dition of things, he decided to go fo’
help. The Macon depot was only two
or three miles away, and thither he
flew on his engine as fast as steam
could carry him. Very socn he was
back again, bringing carriages, mat¬
tresses, doctors and every thing that the
sufferers most needed. Mr. Stephens
was still hanging to the car; he was
still unconscious, pale and rigid,and we
thought him dead. He was placed
upon a mattress and taken to the La¬
nier house. His brother, Mr. Linton
Stephens, was summoned to see him
die. For forty-eight hours he lay
there, pale and stilt, and perfectly in¬
sensible. Friends lost heart and grew
sorrowful; physieians began to despair
but he came out of it by some kind of
a miracle. Indeed, his whole life seems
to be a miracle, a great, grand miracle
performed in the eyes of a wondering,
admiring nation in order to convert to
th e undying truth, that there is to
true greatness that goes not hand it.
hand, heart to heart, with true and
simple goodness.
As Colonel T. finished speaking I
fell to thinking, and so did he. W<
were silent; we were on sacred ground
for the man whose honored name he
had reverently spoke, even at that
moment, was lying yonder in Georgia’s
proud capitol, ready for the tomb.
‘ Can such a life be lived in vain? Is
all the greatness and the goodness ol
it to pass like a tale that is told and so
he forgotten?” Thus ran my thoughts
It is Georgia’s duty to the living, to
her rising generation, to educate them
in all great and noble purposes. Let
it be her reverent task, to keep forever
green and fresh the memory of Alex
Stepliene’s life, and thus give to
her young sons, a guiding star who a e
rays are es pure and true, as Heaven’s
own light,

CORN, FODDER AND OATS.
There is a great deal of cotton yet in
the country to be sent off. A large
amount of small grain has been sown
and is looking fine, if seasons are favor¬
able there will be a large surplus of
wheat and oats here this year. I be¬
lieve the farmers are in for a good corn
crop too. Some are holding on to the
old way of “all cotton” and are going
wild after Furman’s formula. I am no
advocate for a cheap fertilizer. I am
fearful the demand for cheap guanos
will induce the manufacturers t6 fix up
an article they can sell and at low
prices. I am satisfied that the standard
guanos are the best, and cheapest. But
I must close this article and finish my
thoughts in another communication.—
