The Pear Crop Damaged.
From the ThomdsUtHe Times.


On Tuesday, June 10. this section was
visited by rain and brisk winds. which
blew off some of the pears, and on Welnes-
day and Thursday of this week, heavier
rains fell, accompanied by sitter winds.
These three disasters injured the pear crop
of this vicinity very seriously. About one
half of the fruit, il is estimated, was blown
or. Over what breadth of country the dis
aster prevailed, we have not learned, but if
general, the pear growers of Southern
Georgia have sustained losses that would
aggregate quite handsome sum. Some of
the fallen fruit will be utilized by being
canned and preserved, and some of it will
he shipped, but much OF it is bruised and
will either be n complete loss in the hands
of growers or reduce the price of shipments.
The winds also damaged corn. but not to
any great extent. NJ st of the cotton is too
small tn have been materially injured.
The weather is still threatening and fears
are entertained that the worst has not come.

with his garden.
"Hangit, man" retorted the pompous pro-
tessor, perhaps you don't know who am

The (OIOred Voter.

In the contest now impending in Flor
tional Governments, the colored people
have part to perform, and upon the wis
dom and Judgment that guide their ac-
ton much of their future welfare will de-
pend.
Three years of wise and conservative
administration, under Democratic Pres-
dent, have been sufficient to convince the
most skeptical that their political rights
are safe and their welfare better assured
than ever before. Ten years of the car
pet-bag regime, which preceded 1876,
made it perfectly plain to the most oh
fuse that their longer adhesion to the Re
publican party was neither profitable nor
polite "The 40 acres and mule" as
we'll as the promised federal office, has
proven to be a myth" the baseless fab
ric Of VISION" that leaves scarce a
wreck behind"
The resul: in Louisiana, where, with
complete organization of the party under
a tried and trusted leader, a majority for
the democratic ticket of over Sc 900,
made up largely Of colored voters, attests
the fact that they are no longer to be mar
shalled and voted by covetous and design
ing white men, intent only on their own
aegrandizement. With all their zeal for
free election and fair count, and the
expressed determination to unearth and
punish fraud, the Republicans have not
found the first scintilla of evidence to i'm
peach the fairness of this election Were
such evidence attainable, the time is most
opportune for bringing it forward, and
their waning fortunes require it to be
used for all it is wOrth-but it does not
come. The truth is that the colored peo.
pie Of Louisiana are beginning to think
for themselves, and have cut loose for
ever from the lead of the Republican
bosses, and ranged themselves as their
best interests require, alongside of the
white people to do battle for honest gov
ernment and the reform Of abuses.
What has been done in Louisiana ia
possible, and we believe will be accom-
plished, in Florida. What we predicted
in November, 1884, as to the political
future of the negro, has been working
itself into accomplished facts ever since
throughout the South: That never again
would the colored vote be a unit for the
Republican party, but that as citizens
and honest men they would be brought
to see that in politics, as in the field of
industrial enterprise, their place is along
side of their white neighbors and friends.
SO mote it be.

nNil!c Metropolis
a Picture for Politician

\ picture for blantant politicians to
look upon was presented in many South
ern cities on Wednesday, and more par
ticularly at st. Augustine and Jackson
Vile It was ext Mon and ex-Confcder-
ate soldiers marching side by side to
cemeteries to cover the graves OF the
fallen of both armies and to participate
in the ceremonies of Memorial Day, as
set apart BY the Grand Army of the Re
public for observance. The adjournment
of a State Democratic Convention, com
posed almost entirely of Southern men
and ex-Southern soldiers, at ST. Angus
tine, to take part in the ceremonies, was
w.thln itself a triumph for the State and
a true Indication of the good and friendly
relations now existing between us as citi-
zens of the same State and Of one common
country.
That same convention has since nomi-
mated a candidate for Governor, the most
prominent feature of whose record is that
he was good soldier Tins above all
other things, comments him to the brave
and true men OF Florida, who admire
courage, bravery and devotion to prn-
ciple.
There could be no stronger atte> tation
Of the South's replelged loyalty to the
Union than this friendly joining OF hand
and hearts in celebrating a day designed
TO do honor To the memory of the dead
who died for causes they loved. The last
possible remnant of the bitterness of civil
strife, nursed by few .oulless politicians
to serve miserable partisan idea, must
vanish from the presence of this specta
Gle of Southern soldiers, some of them
white-haired now, placing flowers on the
grave Of the heroes that fought them un-
der the flag Of the Union.
