The Georgia Elections.

Our amiable friends OF the Sentinel have
telegraphic dispatches which render it GER
tain that Georgia has gone gloriously for the
Republicans. Mr.. Gobright's secession
Agent says "negroes had every thing their
own way" That tells the story.
Georgia has no doubt voted by large
majority fol a Convention, and for Republi-
can delegates. That State is at length on
high national ground. Henceforth Georgia
will prosper.

The wide world has not wealth to buy

Mr. Greedy.

We published in our last an interesting
extract in relation to Horace Greely's first
appearance in New York, from "Recollec-
lions of a Busy Life" by Horace Greedy. 1t
is stated in this extract that Mr. Greedy, then
barely twenty years old, poor, and without
friends or acquaintance in New York, OBJ
tanned his first employment from Mr.. John
T. West The gentleman referred to is MIR.
John T. West, of this City, who has resided
here for about twenty-five years. Mr.. West
speaks with much kindness of Mr.. Greedy,
and has informed us that Mr. Greedy sent
home to his parents all the money he could
spare from his first scanty earnings.
The writer of this, then quite young
man, reported for Messrs. Greedy & McElrath
the result of the elections in this State in
1910, for which they paid him $15.
Horace Greedy affords as marked an ex-
ample as any in this country of poor young
man struggling up to fame and opulence.-
As Junius said of Lord Chatham" mis- hon.
ors will wear we'll, for they have been dearly
earned" Every poor young man should en-
ulate his example He occupies high po-
sition among the first men of his time, and
his private character is as pure as his aims
have been benevolent and patriotic.
1t is not generally known that Mr.. Greedy
married in Warren County, in this State, a
Northern lady who was there teaching school.

Judge FowIe.

This gentleman, having been nominated
for the Convention at Auburn, publishes .
letter in the Sentinel declining the honor. b
The Judge speaks in the most pointed
terms against the Republican party-pre-
diets "woes unnumbered" if its policy should
prevail in this State, and urges the people
of Wake to vote with the Conservative party.
We believe no Judge on the Bench in this
State has heretofore dipped as deeply into
partizan politics as Judge Fowle has done
in this letter.
We have filed this letter of Judge Fowle
for future reference. We predict that in less
than three years he will be an applicant for
admission as a member of the Republican
party.

A VALUABLE PLANT.---We clip the follow

The LEsPEDEzA STRIATA.---A new tri- TO-
late has appeared recently throughout Mid
die Georgia. We have heard of its being
noticed on the roadsides so long as eight
years since. 1t is now taking possession of
all the old fields--coming up first in little
patches and gradually spreading till all the
broom sedge and grasses disappear before it,
and it covers the ground with most beau
tiful green carpet. The cattle are very fond
of it-and some planters, where it has ap-
peared in their enclosed low grounds, have
cut it for hay. Its history is unknown-nor
has any Southern botanist, so far as we
know, identified it with any indigenous
plant 1t evidently belongs to some fam
lily of wild pea. 1t is leguminous, bears its
seed in a small dic-like pod. 1t is perennial
and is spread by its seeds. A specimen has
been sent to Prof. Gray, of Cambridge, Gel
ebrated botanist, and he was enabled to maine
it only by comparing it with his East India
collection. 1t is native of Japan or the
Indies. 1t botanic name is Lespedeza Stri-
alta. 1t is believed by many that it will
prove valuable for pasturage Col. Rains,
of Augusta, has submitted it to chemical an
alysis, and reports that it is remarkably rich
in fertilizing properties. 1t may perhaps
recover the red hills of Middle Georgia.
