Suicide Near stockton.

STOCKTON, December 9th.-The body of George
Hess, aged about thirty was found in field on the
sand plains about five miles from this city, shot on
the right side of the head, Immediately above the
ear, and beside him lay Colts five-shooter, badly
rusted. On the body three letters were found, one
dated November 81 1888, and in another not dated,
was written:
wish some OF you would tell my parents that
committed suicide and tell them that my Switzer-
land property they had better keep No use Of
sending 1t here. Please hold Coroner's inquest
L don't think ANYBODY in the crowd knows the facts
or they surely would not help to murder me- Well,
l am gone will 90 as far as l can, and then blow
my brains out GEORGE HESS"
One OF the letters is so disconnected as to be al
most unintegible, and shows clearly that the wri-
ter was out of his head. Deceased was a farm
iaborer. He uses this expression " i am very
sorry, gentlemen that you had to leave your house
to try to murder me. will save You the trouble"
The letters are addressed "To whoever finds this"

The Negro Problem.

Without taking the pains TO examine the
exact letter OF the constitution it is our
recollection that it provides that the negro
shallshare eolalvwith the whitesin all funds
raised b.. III STATE foreducatonal purposes.
So loH5 is tAis is so it is the sworn duties
Of the officers Of the school laws to SET that
the teens If the constitution are enforced.
Without intending to raise any issur with
our esteemed contemporary the telegraph,
we would like to know how it prono es to
avoid the terms OF the constitution. II
what we have stated above is true, tlen, it
strikes Us that the negro must cOat-iue to
share equally with the whites out Of ali
fund that may be raised III the sta for
educational purpose, or else have thIt sec.
ton If The constitution which provides for
his education cxpunged. s. to whether
it is best for this country til the negro
be edu0ated, is a question aboHt which
many Of oar arisest and best men are diff
fcrcl. i requires no extraordinary s4gaci-
ty, bawever in our Judgement, to divine
the truth, tha, m proportion as the masses
Of them become educated in the same pro
portion they become worthless as labOrers.
But while this is true is there not moral
obligation resting upon our people to ed
ucate not only the negro but every other
class Of INDECENT people who may BE- thrown
under the protection of our government?
Tha fact mist be recognized, whether right
Or wrong. that the Federal constitution
makes the negro bona tide citizen Of this
government, an the spirit Of tina. fImoas
Instrument when properly interpreted
forbids any discrimination between any
classes Of It's citizens. II has been demon
strated. we thiIfk, in other states and other
nationalitics, that the free schoo! system
has been productive Of inestimable good
and if it has been employed elsewhere
successfully as an engine Of progress and
development, why may it not become such
IN our own state Certainly, we should not
advocate the destruction Of an agency that
promises so much good to the INDECENT
white children Of the land in order to avoid
the education Of the negro. Admitting
that the white people of the ,outh are under
no sort Of Obligation, morally OF th-rwise'
to educate the negro, for, really, we don't
know whether they are or not, does itrelieve
US Of the expediency of educating the
whites? And if we levy Il tax per capita,
orotAcrviae for the education of he whites,
how are We TO escape the letter and spirit
Of the constitution which provides that no
distinction shall be made because Of color,
race &c: These are, confessedly, knotty
problems, and without any intention ofcom-
hitting ourselves to the support of any
theory that looks to the education of the
negro, we should like to see them discuss

A Word Prom he Publishers to
Their Friends.

Some weeks ago, a gentleman passed
through our city by the name Of Hawley,
exhibiting what We considered Il most
wonderful success in the way of washing
machine. Nor were we alone in this opin-
ion. Everybody that saw it wash concur
red with US. We were induced to buy the
right to this and several other counties, be
lieying in 50 doing that we won | be able
to confer upon all hDuse-keeprrs ia this
section a great benefactDn, by making il
possible for each Of thcm to OBTAIN one OF
these machines. w reasoned about this
neW enterprise in this manner: If it is
humbug, we don't want to sell it. We had
rather lose the money it cost us than to
pu5 OF hunbug upon our subscribers and
friends We thereupon determined to place
these machines in the hands of several Of
our most prominent and reliable citizens
upon trial. In every instance we asked
these gentlemen to give the machine thor
ough test, and, if they were not satisfied,
to return the machine to us aud not one
word should be said about selling This
was done, and in every single instance the
parties we're mol only pleased, but came up
and gave US their certificates TO that effect.
We are now thoroughly satisfied that we
have the only washing machine in the
world that is success, and we can offer
it 10 the &c leral public feeling assured that
1t is all we claim for it. Any child ~
years Of age can do the washing Of a whole
family with one Of these machines in one
fourth Of the time that it formerly took
the washer-women to DO it by the old rub
board rlan In using this machine it is
moi necessary at any time to put your
hands into the water, and, besides, you
stand up in all erect position all the time
no bending over and no crippled backs
when the washing is done With this
machine you may wash nifty pieces Just as
easily and quickly as you can wash one
1t washes bed quilts, blanket, and carpets
with as much facility as a pocket hand
kerchief 1t does away with all boiling of
clothes. There is no rubbing no friction
and hence the wear and tear saved bv
washing on one Of these machines will pay
for it in few washings. Ladies who have
tine laces Of any kind to wash can not af
/ tord to be without one Of these machines.
It only costs 49,, and is well worth ten
times the money to any family " have one.

Public Hangillrs.

There Is quite a growing senti-
ment in Georgia at this time against
the ordinary practice OF hanging
criminals in pubic. The journal Is
on record upon this subject ard it,
position aud views med not now he
reco Inle,t. further thrn 10 81, that it
is fully il arcoil ~itG what follows
from the Atlalia Constitution:
sit Is TO be questioned whether
these pablo exhibition, have any ef-
iecl upon the public except to pan
der TO morbid curiosity when Is
the next thing TO derrayit> We
doubt whether public hangings, for
instance, such as we have recently
had il Georgia, have any sort of eff
feet upon the criminal classes. These
executions are not regarded as warn
ings. They are looked upon as a
sort Of show which il rarely seen,
and which warrants a sort of holiday
excursion.
There was public hanging last
FRIDAY at Waycross, and it appears
to have been \ very attractive affair,
All business was suspended for forty
miles around, the plows were left IN
the burrows, and the turpentine stills
were closed, and it is stated that not
less than eight Thousand people
gathered to witness the hanging OF IA
miserable criminal This vast crowd
of whites and blacks was not by any
means solemn one; on the contra
~, it was gailv expectant, the spec
tators having the air and attitude OF
/ people who gather to see Il slight-of-
hand performance, OF any other in
ercsling show
There was also a public execution
at Lexington, and we have it from
Editor Can't, of the Athens Banner
Watchman, that the crowd Was large
and bUistcrous. It was so large, in
fact, that Editor CAN'T estimates
that the hanging cost the farmers o
Oglethorpe at least $1,000 i'll loss
Of labor at "a most critical period
In This large crowd there were many
drunken men and one drunken
white WOmen--a spectacle OF d.
bauchery that mnst have been ap
palling to any sober minded person
There was still another degl adm,
feature Of the Lexington spectacle
to which Editor CAN'T alules il
proper .erms--namely, the presenc
Of large number of well-dresse,
aud decent appearing women l
is difficult to imagine how any W.
man who lays claims TO the fine
feeling Of the sex could so far forge
herself, but there were q number {
women at the Lexington hanging
and the seemed to he sincerely ans
ious so see whatever was 10 be seel
no iualter how revolving the specit
Gle might he. They watched To
whole affair from beginning to Ell
with unmoved faces, and seemed t
be less affected than the men. Thi
is the testimony of Editor CAN'T
who paid particular attention TO thi
branch OF the exhibition, rs BEGAN
a gallant newspaper man.

Silk culture in Georgia is receiving more
attention at this time than at any former
Icriod in tine history ol The stt,c. That il
can be made success there is no SORT Of
question. 1t is an industry, however,
shat requires great perseverance, and one
well sutte,l to the hahds Of females. The
demand for cocoons at the North is very
active, the price rangining from rs cts, to
- per pound, owing to quality. Millions
OF silk worm eggs have been Matched and
distributed in Georgia during the present
year and we may soon expect to hear the
full result from those who are now cxprri-
menting with this new enterprise
