opposition, On the board of super
visors he has served on the equaliza-
ton committe, and the committee

Mr.. Brown Is essentially man of
the people and as a candidate stands
as the representative of the farming
interests particularly and of Repub-
licans of independent tendencies gen.
orally. He is master of the Grange at
Brockway and member of the Clean
ers. He is a heavy taxpayer, own
ing and working over 700 acres of
land in Kenockee township. He Is
by nature a student and has given
governmental affairs much careful
study. BY those who know him we'll,
and they are many, he is considered
excellently well qualified to serve in
the constitutional convention.
Springing from the country people,
JEFF" Brown is "A reformer in poll
tics in the true sense of the term. He
believes In returning to the people,
who are the source of all power. their
political rights which have been wrest-
ed from them by machine manipula-
ton and bosses. He stands for the
direct nomination of all candidates
He favors the initiative and referen-
dunn and home rule for cities, and IL
nominated and elected will endeavor
to have these policies incorporated in
the fundamental law of the state. He
believes in the regulation of railroads
and other public utility corporations
and trusts, but opposes persecution
of them. He wants "a square deal"
for all. Standing on these broad
he would be a true repre-
of the whole people. Being
a large property owner he is natural
ly conservative and careful OF public
expenditures. yet he is progressively
alert to the leading ideas of the times.
Mr.. Brown will poll a large vote
the county, particularly in
the country districts, and his pros
poets of nomination are excellent.

To Develop Falls OF Savannah and TuaaIoo.

II. A. Orr, president of: the Savannah
River Power Company, which has capi-
tai stock of $500, 900, to-day nnounced
that the Calhoun Falls property would
be developed this summer and that these
falls will furnish 10000 horsepower. He
also announced that Cherokee Falls.
which is ten miles below Gregg Shoals,
on the Savannah river, will be developed
this summer, and that these falls will
furnish 10000 horsepower. He also an
nounced that Hatton's Shoals, on the
Tugaloo river, will be developed this
summer and that these falls will furnish
1O,Oco horsepower. All of this power, in
connection with the 5000 horsepower to
be developed on Broad river, in Georgia,
at Anthony Falls, near Elberton, and
5000 horsepower at Gregg Shoals, on the
Savannah river, will aggregate $4,000
horsepower for this concern.
Mr.. Orr said that Major Z. w. Lucas,
of Wilmington, N. c., who is associated
with the company, and Col. Springfield,
of New York, two expert engineers, are
now visiting Calhoun Falls to make an
inspection of the property of the COM
pany. There are two falls there, surveys
of which have been made, Ana chat these
gentlemen are to determine whether one
or two dams shall be constructed in this
development. In either event, the falls
will furnish 10000 horsepower.
President Orr was asked to-day whe-
ther the company anticipated any trou-
Bile in disposing of all this power. He
replied: at is not question of selling
the power that we can furnish out of all
these developments. 1t is a question of
choosing our purchasers. We are almost
daily receiving applications for power.
We will be able to place all of the power
we can develop. ."--Anderson Mail, July 6.

A Maine Fish Story.

A correspondent of Maine Woods
writes: "Seeing some of your fish and
bear stories, must confess some of
them do smell little fishy, and for a
change l will give you one founded on
facts. You see, it was this way. We
were fishing on one of the Keswick
lakes in the spring of '93, and our
catch had been enormous. About 3
O'Clock in the afternoon we heard a
peculiar noise on the bank of the lake
like tearing of roots. So we went to
investigate, and on nearing the shore
were surprised to find a large black
bear digging up the ground to beat
nine of kind. We lay low to watch;
and what do you think he was doing?
Why, he was digging worms, and af-
ter putting nice fat angleworms on
each of his forepaws, he ventured out
in the lake on an old sunken log, put
down his forefeet in the water and ao-
tually scooped out huge trout 80 thick
and fast that he almost darkened the
sun. After awhile, thinking there was
enough fish for us, we put an ounce
ball in his head. Talk about fish
Great heavens! There lay trout too
feet deep, on which two young cubs
were gorging themselves. Well, we
skinned that bear, and, wishing to se-
cure the cubs alive, l just threw the
bearskin over me and got down on all
fours, and those cubs followed me
right into camp, thinking it was moth
er bear. The cubs afterward sold
for $25 each, and the hide of the moth
or bear, which was very large one,
brought me $40, not too bad a days
work. Oh, yes, about those fish on the
bank. Well, we went back the next
day and barrelled up twenty-four bar
rels of the best of those trout. The
rest were left to rot in the sun. We
put those fish in cold storage, and we
have some of them yet"

HE TELLS or THE FARMS, GAME, MOS.
QUlT0Es, ETC., IN LOUISIANA.

Neweilton, La, July 10.-Dear Cou-
rier: AS l nave been down here about
six weeks will try to write few lines
about this place and my travels coming
here. 1 left Walhalla on the 11th of
May, came to Tallapoosa, Ga. and found
aourishing town of about 1000 inhabi.
tants and a very pretty, clean and neatly
kept. place. I stayed there two days.
Then boarded the train for Vicksburg,
Miss, and stayed there three days. 1t
is also flourishing place and on the
only hill have seen since have been in
this country. 1 then came to Tallulah,
La, across the big Mississippi river. 1
stopped there one day and then came to
Ashwood, La; stayed there four weeks
and left for Newellton.
have boen hero two weeks and find
all the people good and clever, and all
live at home. The farmers are badly be-
hind with their crops, owing to tho
heavy rains and high waters, but some
cotton is blooming. while some is very
small, having been planted over the third
time. Very little corn is raised in this
country. The negro and the mule make
the cotton and the white man gets the
money. The farming is somewhat diff
ferent from farming in Oconee. Some
men run as high as $4,000 acres. Thore
are no small farmere here, and day labor
Is used almost altogether. No white
people work on the farm, except over
seers, and they all 20 on horseback the
whole day long.
There is plenty of game hore, such as
deer, bears, turkeys. wild cats, raccoons,
oppossums, and wolves, lot of them
back in the swamps, also white, black
and red squirrels. There are mosquitoes
by the thousands, and every time make
an error in this writing mosquito bites
me and causes mo to jump the track
The horse flies are the worst ever saw.
The people have to hang smokes on the
horses while they are ploughing and on
the shafts while driving to buggy,
and ride horseback with small buckets
filled with smoke hanging on the stir
rups of the saddle, as the horses other
wise could not stand it. The flies actu-
ally kill some horses. In some instances,
where horses are old and mostly worn
out, the flies draw their blood all out and
the horses weaken aud die.
Palmetto trees grow in abundance
here. When 1 want new fan go out
ana cut me one. l have some very
pretty ones which cut to-day. If any
OF the Oconee boys will come down 1
will give them one.
1 will leave this place in about ten
days and 60 to Lake Providence to start
up a machine there. 1 tell you it is
something like working roads when ycu
can run three graders behind one engiue.
l only wish Oconee had such an outfit.
Twill close before write 80 much it will
worry the people to read my scribbling.
Respectfully yours, G. r. Carter.
