The state Agricultural Society.

The spring nesting Of the State Agri-
cultural Society began yesterday at
| Hawkiusville. A large number Of the
most intelligent and progressive farmers
/ of the state are in attendance, and it is
safe to predict tina. the meeting will be in
teresting aud profitable. The farmers are
/ in excellent spirits over the splendid crops
/ of last year, and can regard the future with
increased confidence. With full cribs and
smokehouse5 and the burden of debt greatly
ligatened they feel that they are well on the
high road to prosperity.
There ought to be no lack of subjects for
discussion at the meeting. Within the last
decade the list of Georgia's marketable
agricultural products has been wonderfully
increased. The early vegetable and truck
farms of South Georgia now bring into the
state many tn )usands of dollars annually,
at the season of the year when the money is
most needed. The railways and transporta-
ton companies realize the profitable bust
ness which these crops bring them, and
they will in all probability meet in g
friendly spirit the demand for reasonable
rates and quick transportation.

carried on almost anywhere i'll the state has
been repeatedly demonstrated. The olIy
drawback to fruit culture on a larger
scale has been the difficulty and risk OF
getting the fruit to market. With the in
creased transportation facilities afforded by
the obstruction of more than 40 miles of
new ra lway last year, this difficulty has
been lessened, and more Georgia fruit will
find its way to northern markets the coming
season, if the season is favorable, than ever
before.
The state has not been slow to do what
lies in its power to advance agricultural in
terests. The new experimental station at
Griffin is in successful operation, and good
results are justly expected from the investi-
cations conducted there. The reports of the
agricultural bureau cont lin many valuable
suggestions, and give an Intelligent exhibit
of agricultural matters in the state
The question of fertilizers will doubtless
receive from the society the attention its
Importance demands. All the fertilizers
that can be saved at home add to tho farm
ers' wealth. The most profitable farm
of the state have drawn largely upon theil
own resources for the means for bringing
them to high state of cultivation.
The farmers have reason certainly to
meet each other with hearty hand-grasps
and smiling faces; and the MORNING
NEWS is confident that much good will re
suit from their deliberations at Hawkins
vile. When they finish their review of the
situation they can return homo with
buoyant spirits. and with the determine
ton Of making the crops of 1890 greater
than those of 1889 WERE

He Liked to Fish.
From the Ne,o York Herald.

From the NetO York Herald.
He was a man of years, old, grizzled, gray.
He sat upon a Stringpiece at pier 8, North river,
dangling his rusty boots over the water and
watching the eddies curl about his line as the
tide played with his hook and bait. The air
was cold and damp about him. The string
piece was cold and damp beneath him. But he
was the picture of comfort none the less An

The Good Old Way.
Ffom the Brooklun Ennle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
There was nice young fellow
AS ever you did see;
LlkeN Use nice young lady,
And just as good as he:
And so they CHANGED one day to meet,
When they were feeling gay,
And so, of course, they fell in love,
The good old way.
He feared he should not get her,
So he was feeling blue;
And she was in compton fits
For fear he would not too;
But such thin trouble did not last,
am real glad to say;
They soon were married firm and fast,
The good old way.
Then were the gossips watching,
The tattle-bags perpleXed,
And Mrs Grundy itching,
For what was coming next;
Some thought they'd have a family,
Some blockheadS answered. nay.
They raised ten children, yes, they did
The good old way.
They lived and helped each other,
As they agreed before;
And so Gods blessing came to them,
In basket and in store;
They knew enough to save cent,
Safe, for a rainy day;
And peacefully through life they went,
The good old way
They lived long, useful christian lives,
In all good honest pride;
Till old time banged the II with his scythe
And then, of course, they died;
They had great, splendi funerals,
The best words folks could say;
Then side by side we buried them,
The good old way.
This is a song and sermon, too,
And true memorial rhyme;
And folks who live so just and true
Are blessed, all the time;
A splendid, loving, useful life,
Such always find it pay,
Who walk like these, my kith and kin,
The good old way.
Their graves are green, they may be seen,
Their monuments | see
And memory loves them back again,
For all their love to me;
Love rules the world with power and nigh
Love guides us home to stay,
And heaven shines bright to kindly light
The good old way

liberated on a writ of habeas corpus, where
upon he summoned jury and held an in

The Florida Election Cases.

A Jacksonville man, who signs himself
Republican" has written a long letter to
the New York Tribune in defense of the
course OF Judge Swayne, and other Florida
federal court officials in the election cases
in that state As the writer does not sign
his name it is fair to assume that he is not
so confident that his cause is good one that
he is willing to appear publicly in its
behalf. AS matter of fact the letter is
very much like an editorial article, which
the Tribune published a few days ago, that
criticised Senator Buffers bill making
an appropriation to aid those
OF the blacks to emigrate to the
northern states or territories, who wish
to do 80. The article was such an outrage
on truth that the senator wrote to the
Tribune letter pointing out the injustice
it did him, and suggesting theoretically
that it would be made moro decent to show
more respect for facts. The Tribune pub
lished the letter without comment.
The writer of the Jacksonville letter
makes a very elaborate defense of Judge
Swayne for refusing to admit the Mizell
letter in evidence. when it was proposed to
show that there was a conspiracy to pack
the jury with republicans to try the cleo
ton cases. He has nothing to say, how
ever, of the offer to connect one OF the jury
| commissioners with this letter, nor does he
deny that, as a matter of fact, nearly
all those who were summoned as
jurors were republicans. The follow
| ing extract from the letter shows its
character: "The Democratic party, by
| fraud and stealth and violence, are is pos
session of all our machinery of state. All
our state officers owe their honorable dis
tinction to fraud, shotguns and intimida-
ton, and necessarily encourage the further
commission of crime, as in this way alone
can their tenure of office be prolonged. "
| In view of the record for corrupt practices
which the Republican party of Florida has,
and the further fact that there were no
complaints that the election was not
as fair enc as that of any
| state until weeks after Harrison's
election, these charges of Republican" APP
pear ridiculous. Why, the democratic ma
| jority in Florida is only about II, 900 What
were all the republicans doing that they
| permitted frauds, shotguns, and intimida-
ton to play such an important part in
| lettering the election. Some of the TTi-
btnes readers may believe "Republicans"
charges, but if they do they won't have a
great deal of respect for Florida repub-
lcans.

What Win Ingalls, Say About Itp

What VIII ingalls, Say a bout It?
VIII Senator ingalls, demand that the
outrage committed in Barnwell county,
South Carolina, the other night upon a
black woman by twenty or thirty ma sked
women of her own color, be investigateda
He ought TO. certainly IN order that the
country might know that the blacks, who
allege that they are the victims of so
many outrages, are themselves not
infrequently the perpetrators of
outrages. The outrage that was
inflicted upon the black woman in Barn
well county was fully as great as the alleged
outrage in Aberdeen, Miss, of which Sena-
tor ingalls, spoke with SO much indignation.
She had sGid nothing that she had not
right to say. She simply expressed the
opinion that the blacks, who were lynched
in Barnwen recently, deserved their fate.
AS matter of fact there is no freedom
of opinion among the blacks. Those who do
not agree with the great majority are pun
ished by being shut out from all social
relations with the people of their race. A
black man who is a democrat, if he lives
where there are only few black demo-
Gratis, has pretty lonely time of it. and,
besides, he is in danger of being the
victim of violence. This Barnwell incident is
only one of many instances Of the intoler-
ance of the blacks, and it has attracted
attention only because all of the parties
happen to be women. If Senator ingalls,
and other bloody shirt senator's were
brought into daily contact with the blacks
for about year they would be much better
prepared than they are at present to discuss
the race issue.
