CENTRAL RAILROAD STOCK.
SAN Alexander Mans Wants InfOr-
nation Regarding Ii.

BRYAN COUNTY, May 17.-Editor Morning
NeaCs Some time since, while in Savannah. 1
learned that Gen. Alexander had written some
letters and made statements going to show
that Central. Railroad stock was just the thing
TO buy, if person wanted to get rich. AS
have always had a hankering this way, /
pitched in and loaded up with all l could get
the money to pay for; and 1 want you now to
get Gen. Alexander and his friends to write
few more letters and present the thing in its
correct shape. so that prices will continue
to advance in ordeR that 1 may sell
out and realize my profits, which must
be very handsome by this time, as
l have been holding the stock several
months. l knew from all they said it must be
a good thing, so / bought freely at 40. and
have no doubt but that it is 200 now but want
$50, and think few more letters will Ger
tainly put it at that figure, judging by the past
What pity it is that Mr. Wadley has allowed
us all to grow old in poverty, when we might
have been rolling in wealth all this time. if he
had only given us the information which Gen
Alexander and his friends so freely distributed
TO the public. Don't you think it would be a
good idea, il the letters don't come out in time
to have the desired effect to hold on and get
the approaching dividend, which, it is rumoFed,
will be twenty five per cent. cash in gold and a
free pass on the steamships? Yours truly
AN ALEXANDER MAN.

beg you will mail to me at Wiregrass Station.

FROM WAYCROSS.
A Cold WaVe-The Crops and BUSH
ness-A New HOteI-The Largest
WILL Interest I'm the State.

WAYCRoss, GA, MAY 15-EditOr Morning
Net0s Our town was visited by cold wave
on the evening Of the 18th instant, and which
is still upon us, making overcoats and wraps
very comfortable during the morning and
evening hours Summer seems to have sud
denly departed in the season of it's bud and
bloom, and winter in all its characteristic gray
chilliness reigns (at this writing) supreme. The
drought Of the early spring has deprived us of
our anticipated abundant fruit crop, and we
will have hardly third of the usual yield
Trees from which we ate peaches on the 10th
of June last year are only just now beginning
to leaf. 1t is thought the present unusual
change in temperature will materially injure
the otherwise good crop prospects in this sec
ton.
Business-mercantile-is somewhat dull
though the trade for our merchants bids fair
to be much better this summer than any one
previous, IN consequence of the saw
mills and turpentine manufactures tribu-
tary to our town. 1t may be truly
said, "Waycross is on boom" so far
In every direction there are new buildings
residences and business houses springing up
At the "Waycross extension" the boom is
quite lively. Some sixteen or twenty build
lngs, all of which are neat and attractive have
already sprung up and are being occupied
and still the work goes on, and new ones are
shooting up in every direction. Among those
recently completed is the dwelling of Captain
Jno. G. Reynolds, of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway. which is the largest and
most imposing of them all; situated at the ex-
treme south of that part of the town laid out
by the company.
We learn that Captain N. Dixon is to erect a
large three or four story brick hotel within a
few hundred yards of the new Savannah,
Florida and Western depot, and work will be
commenced thereon as soon as the brick can
be obtained. We understand this is for the ac-
commodation Of Northern visitors to our city
spared to render it in every department com
plete. We predict it will be filed to its utmost
capacity.
Just seven miles north Of our little city,
on the Satilla river, is being located
what is to be, when completed, the largest mill
interest in the State-that of Messrs. Reppard
& Walter. The mill is fast nearing completion,
the latest improvements in machinery. etc, is
being used, and within three months this mill
will be turning out one hundred thousand feet
of lumber each consecutive day. They have
quite a little village of their own out there
which has been named ''WaItertown" for Mr.
Walter Of the firm. 1t is connected with us
by a railroad, the "Waycross and Pacific .
built by the firm, and by telephone, which CON
meets the mill with the telegraph Office here
The health of our people is at present very
good, and with a continuance of our present
blessings and moderate temperature for our
summer we will be content, and fully realize
that

GEORGIA DEMOCRACY.
The State Convention Called for
July 19th-A Harmonious Meet
ing OF the State Committee.

ATLANTA, May 18.-The Democratic State
Committee met as per notice. 7. w. Grimes
represented Mr.. Willis, J. c. McMichael
represented Mr.. Mitchell, A. r. Lamar
represented Colonel Hardeman,E E. P. Howell
represented Mr.. Grubb, H. Fl. Cabaniss
represented Mr.. Harris, r. A. Ballou repre-
sented Mr.. Wood, and W. A. Hawkins
represented Mr.. Cobb. r. J. Moses having
resigned, 7. W. Grimes appeared as his sue
cessor. Colonel Trsmmell held proxy for
Mr.. 1umlin. Messrs. Mynatt, Phillips,
Wimberly and Jones were absent and not
represented. Harris R. A. Bacon repre-
sented Mr.. Newman, who resigned the
Secretaryship, and Mr.. Bacon was elected.
A resolution was proposed to call the
State Convention.
Mr.. Peoples moved that it will be held on
the first Wednesday in August, Col Lamar
on June twenty-slxth and Mr.. Hobbs on
the second Wednesday in July.
Messrs. Peoples and Wellborn favored
August, and Messrs. Howell and Lamar
July.
Mr.. Shumate, as a compromise, moved
that it be called for the 18th OF July, and
that date was adopted, and twelve o'clock
noon to be the hour Of assem- milling, and each
couEty to be entitled to twice as many votes
as she has representatives in the Legisls-
ture. Candidates for Governor, State off,
GERS aud a Congressman at large are to be
nominated. Each county is to instruct its
delegates as to whether the two-thiIds or a
majority rule shall be adopted by the con-
vention in making these nominations.
Mr.. Grimes moved that the delegates be
selected on the first Tuesday In July In all
parts of the State, and that the mode of so
dOlng-whether by convention, mass meet
ing or primary election-be left to the wis
dom of each county. Also that all counties
be requested to select only such delegates
as will be sure to attend and not transfer
their authority to improper persons. This
could be prevented by electing suitable
alterDates to fill vacancies.
Mr.. Shumate offered a resolution express
ing regret at Senator HIPS affection, tender
ing sympathy to him and family, and hoping
for his recovery, which was adopted unani-
mcusly by a rising vote and with much
impressiveness.
The committees session was harmonious,
and everything indicates vigorous and united
action on the part of the Democracy. Moth
Ing was left undone to secure full and free
representation in the convention, and to
give the people ample opportunity to pro-
tect themselves from packing and undue
outside influences in primary.
