have got a Judge on the Cherokee circuit who looks after the beys. 1 wish every circuit in Georgia had judge like Fite or Candler. If the grand Julies don't do their duty, discharge them and summon men who will. If the petit juries don't find according to the evidence, discharge them and have their names, erased from the jury lists. 'Let's tea oil these rascals and this bartered vote that the penitentiary Is their home.

AVncnevcr we want to vote whisky out of town or have an election In which there 1 an Issue, up pop this irresponsible, purchasable gang and the vote of a chalngnng ex-convict weighs as iguch as the vote of the beet citizen. 'That may be rlamt i9 politics, but It is nJt right in principle. The Bible tells us when the wicked reign, people mourn; and a candidate or an official never prove much better than the gang that put him In. All good citizens think just as I have written upon this question, but most of them submit quietly and go along. a 1 returned a few days ago from a western tour -cf lecturing out as far as western Kansas.

I spent' one day In St. Louie. 1 am candid when I say things are looking better. -The drummers talk more hopefully, and business 1 moving up. If cotton had remained at 7 cents last fall the south would have had the greatest year cf her experience.

If we dont get Into a war with Spain or some other country, 1898 is going to be a-great year In this country. The Iron trade, the lumber trade, the railroad- Interests, the banks, and to on, are but thermometer or Index linger, and they nil point to a better temperature and to better times. 1 believe If we all had more religion we would get along better. We are an ungrateful crowd. AVe ignore.

Odd and growl when we ought to be shouting. AVe are doing as well today and better than we Like the old fellow in his prayer, we ought to say, AVe thank the Lord that It Is as well with us as what it is." I am looking for this year to be an era In the church. I believe 1898 will be a year of great revival Interest, and that there will be a great religious quickening and In-gathering Into the churches. The preacher talk hopefully. The church is of this pall of this Inactivity that kills, and If we.are wise this wl'-l be a great year with the churches of America.

Humanity sooner or later must reach the point where they see that there 1 nothing true but heaven. We may talk about buying and selling and getting gain; we may talk about accumulation ar.d business; we may talk about cotton aetd Iron and wheat. but after all there are too many aching hearts, ruined lives and wrecked characters In this country. As AVhttccmb Riley says, there Is nothing more pathe.ic than Just being rich. I hew been to and fro; I -have seen enough with my own eyes and felt enough In my own heart to know that the best thing a man can do Is to learn that in whatsoever state be 1 therewith to be content.

Riches do not bring happiness and poverty does not bring misery. It is not what a man has. but what he is that makes the test after all. see a sensible editorial In The Atlanta 'Journal of this 750 claves, male female, ranging frtm thirteen to eighteen years of to be delivered on a certain date at live mouth of the Congo. King Da-homlncy appeared to experience no difficulty in securing a sufflcler.it number of his surplus subjects and they were driven to the coast, stark naked, and in the meat abject condition, brutq than human, Recording to agreement.

The' Wanderer was signalled and sailed up and dropped anchor near the landing place and rise human freight, was soot. lmprleoneu in the hold of the vestel. DEATH RATE TERRIBLE. The vessel then turned her course toward the southern shores of the United States. The Imprisoned -wretches suffered from the heat and filth, and worse than all.

from their hopeless despair, Upwards of 50 of them died during the voyage, many from broken hearts. There was no attempt to give them even the semblance of a Christian burial, and their naked bodies were cast overboard as prey fog the sharks and other voracious denizens-of the deep. The Wanderer carried in her lockers the flags of. all maritime nations so that she could match -colors with any vessel that might hail her. but those were few.

and she proved to unsociable that she general ly declined to respond to any signals and ended-by showing a clean palgof heels in case a fellow vYaEer attempted to grow-too Intimate. The-voyage was made without any untoward incident and the vessel ran Into the mouth of the great Ogeechee river late In the year and found a safe retreat In the big swamp island. From there Captain Semmes communicated wltb La- CAPT. A. C.

McGHEE. He Is the Last Survivor of the Owners of the Slave Ship Wanderer. I see occasionally some old Rip Van AVlnkle pops up and says. What Is all this political agitation about? AVhat arc you fussing so far ahead of time for? and so on. It does look a little premature now to be talking about, candidates and political Issues for next fall or for 1900 but.

after all. djcusstons and dissections enable us to rcuch conclusions. It I well enough for men to air their views. Tt is well enough to trot out a candidate a good while, ahead and let the people see him; to put him In the ring and trot him around, and we can soon tell whether ho Is bellowseii or spavined or has the blind ctaggers. It is well enough to give tho people a chance to say every good thing about him; and every bad thing that he ha ever done, why let It be told on him, with tome, perhaps, that he never did.

But while the people talk and write the ring-streaked politicians ure making their slates and grooming their primaries and setting their stakes. Dirty devils they are, but they arc getting In their work all the sumo. There never was more consummate farce than the uverago little county primary, bossed by some little Influcnceless. characterless politician and the trap set so it will catch only the bird he wants. I daresay that if the good people of this country" dont give more time and thought, not only to candidates, but to primaries and to election days, the jig Is up in this country.

AVe had -little election In Cartersvllle the other day for mayor and aldermen and I am told that perhaps nearly one hundred illegal vote were east tn this town on- election day. AVhlsky ordered here no doubt by white men and distributed by the negroes Is partly to blame. I understand they have got several true bills ngalnst some of the negroes, but negro who scatters the liquor among his dusky companions Is as much of a -gentleman as any white devil that Imported It Jnto the town and handed it out. In gallon Jugs to the negro 1 had rather see one white ras-cul caught than forty negroes. A man who will buy vote Trill sell a A man vhq will sell a vote will sell a principle.

because a vote represent principle; and a man who will buy and sell a principle will buy. and sell anything this side of perdition. Georgia must do something with this Irresponsible, purchasable element and eliminate It from the elective franchise of the state, though I verily believe that the while man who stoops to buy and barter for the negro vote Is as characterless as the negr-o he trades with'. 1 believe In a free country, but I don't believe tn a free, unpunished and unpunishable corruption. Marietta had a dose of.

this a few week ago enough to vomit a dog and Augusta. to puke buzzard. In her mayoralty election. And so It goes. The last legislature of Georgia could have given the Australian ballot.

That would have done 'a way with much cf the corruption. at the polls, and I expect would have forever done 'away with most of that gang In the legislature. I can see no other reason why the Australian ballot was not made the law of Georgia. But, after all. a fellow who doesnt cwn a dol-lat cf property nor pay any taxes or contribute to the public welfare, what interest has he got in an election, or what Choice has he gdt of candidates? A drink HOLD WITHIN MY HAND THE but she Anally arrived near the Georgia coast late lit the season.

-Late one stormy night Captain Semmes endeavored to run up Jekyl creek, between Jekyl and Cumberland Islands, and his vessel ran aground on the sandy beach of Jekyl. Several of the captives escaped from the hold and jumped overboard and were drowned Their bones were afterwards washed ashore on Jekyl Island, tragic memorials of that night of terror. Captain Semmes made hla way to the home of. the duBIgnon. owners-of the island.

and was hospitably entertained, as he claimed to be a sea captain in distress and did not reveal the true. nature of the buslnus in which he was engaged. On the mornlr.s the vessel Moated with the tide, end socn made her way up the Great Ogeechee to her old rendezvous and dropped anchor, while Captain Bemnu communicated with Lamar in Savannah. AGATN UNDER THE GUNS. The latter was man of great wealth and high social and political standing, and when lie again invited the officers and garrison to a big holiday ball, they accepted the Invitation, little what the real purpose of the festive occasion might be.

Again under cover of the night the fleet-winged Wanderer stole silently up the broad Savannah -while the officers and soldiers of the fori were holding high revel, and again the human cargo was landed on Limar's plantations end turh-ed over to the old slaves of the rice fields. But the Incident at Jekyl had excited suspicion, and other corroborative circumstances had become public, and a great rensation was created by the onperlng of an investigation of the matter by the Federal government. Captain McGhee and a planter who had purchased seme of -the slaves brought over In the Wanderer were among those placed under arrest, but nothing came of the trials. The court of inquiry gave rise to seme tragic developments, and only the intervention of prominent men prevented a duel between the dashing Lamar and one of the officers engaged in the inquiry. The affair Anally blew over, but the hostilities between the' north and south had no doubt been partly precipitated by the AVanderer episode, and a blockading fleet arriving off the mouth of the Savannah prevented' the AVandercr from putting to sea.

Eo tho last of the slavers and one of the fastest ships afloat' at the time was sold by her owners to the Confederate govern-hVcnt and never again showed her flag -within the realms of King Dahcmlney. QUAINT SUPERSTITIONS. Te newly imported negroes adhered to many of their old superstitions, and up to few years ago there were several of that queer people still living in the neighborhood of Brunswick- who had been brought over as children In the Wanderer. Captain Urbanus Dart had one In hi employ on the steamer Pope Catlin who was the son of a Wanderer woman, and who was one of the best cooks on the coast. They would stand In the middle of a Held and by making a strange whirring noise With the mouth would- attract a cloud of grasshoppers, which they would catch In their open funds and devour with the greatest relish.

They were very, fond of raccoons, and even skunks, 'and some of fhe older, ones would catch rattlesnake and kill them before they could Inject their-venom, and would then cut cap-tured. Y. M. C. A.

McGhee Is living his life peacefully out at his home Ik Columbus, A few days ago, he celebrated the 70th anniversary of his birth at that home where he has lived for upwards of halt a century. Although he Is suffering from the effects of age and disease, he still preserves his mental faculties to a remarkable degree, and Is one of the best informed men In the state in' regard to the history of Georgia before and during the civil war. He was a prime factor In many Import- I ant events In Georgia history, assisted In the removal of the Muscogee Indians from their- territory, after the "Creek Purchase." and thus added a. large area of the best lands in the state to the public domain; was active In securing the building of the old Monroe railroad, now the Cen- tral of Georgia, between Macon and the village of Marrhaaville. and.

was in other public affairs: In those early days Macon and Columbus were both of far greater importance than the northern terminus of the Monroe railroad, which has Since developed into the proud city of Atlanta, the capital and Chief commercial center of the commonwealth. THE WANDERER COMPANY. In (he spring of 1S5S four prominent business' men and planters, Richard Dlck--erson. of Richmond. Vs.

Benjamin Davis. of Charleston, S. Charles of and A. C. McGhee, of Columbus.

decided to purchase a vessel and go Into the slave trade. It was a very risky business at that time, as the United States government had just passed very stringent laws against rlave trade, making It a capital offense for the owners of the vessels and those working them, should they he caught dealing In slaves: But at that time the states rights sentiment was very strong in the slave-holding states, and prominent men did not consider It as Impugning their honor to engage In the contraband trade, but rather looked upon the outwitting of the federal authorities as perfectly legitimate, and the enforcement of the law as another attempt on the part or the abolitionists to curtail the rights of slave-holding citisens. It was this view of the case that actuated the gentlemen above mentioned, and they were not long In negotiating for a vessel that Just suited the business. She had won a national reputation as being one of the fleetest sailing vessels In American waters, and she was appropriately named The Wandbrer." tain Bemmea, a brother of the famous Confederate commander, of Alabama fame, and a man of superfar courage and exceedingly businesslike ccolheadedness, was secured as commander of the vessel. ue had been engagd In trading with the natives along the west coast of Africa and was familiar wjth the habits of the savage tribes of the Congo country, and was well known as a daring sailor and one capable of steering clear of difficulties.

I HER FIRST APPEARANCE. i. In the early summer that eventful year there was a big regatta announced to come off in Brunswick harbor; -and the owners of sailing vessels north and south were Invited to participate In the sports incident to the occasion. On the day before the event a strange chip sailed into the harbor ahd the captain reported as The Wanderer. Captain Somme, hailing from Bedford." and applied for admission into the races.

The managers saw that his vessel outclassed the others and declined to admit her, at which the captain protested loudly and became, apparently, very Indignant, but In truth he did nqt care a straw about the races. He was there for an entirely different purpose. He had called up the Great Ogeechee river, then not much frequented "by vessels, until he had found a secluded swamp about forty miles from the mouth of the river, which might be useful as a rendezvous fpr The Wanderer, and In which she might lie concealed without much danger of detection, for several days. He had also familiarized himself with the toilets and outlets connecting the various bays and sounds along the Georgia coast with the main ocean. The trim appearance of his craft, and -her beautiful lines, attracted much attention and loud were the commendations of the knowing salts in regard to her sailing qualities.

When the -big race came off he followed the other vessels around the course, and at last, when near the entrance of the harbor, he hoisted sail and sped away before the breeze. The Wanderer showing a clean pair of -heels to the jfcstonished commanders of the other craft participating in the contest. None anew his destination except the four members of the company who owned the vessel. A CUNNING MANEUVER. Captain Semmes proceeded to take on a load of trinkets nd gewgaws, brass wire and bright colored clothe, suitable for the African trade, with a liberal supply cf beads and bandannas, and then.

Instructing his mate, with a picked crew, to steer for the mouth of the Congo and await his coming, he left the vessel. AVIth one or two trusty followers he hoarded a steamer and gave It out that he was bound for the west coast on combination trading and exploring tour, and exhibited stock of trinkets which he had taken along as a ruse to conceal hi real design. He ar.u his associates were put off at a rclr.t convenient to his destination and they worked their way down to the Con and reached the chief town of King the ruler of one of the small- t'ongo provime. In safely. The rule of King Dahom'ney extended several hundred miles into the interior.

lie was not nard man to deal with, as he was fond cf personal display and a great lover of i um, and he and Captain Bemmea soon came to an amicable agreement. For from ft to 2 per head, paid In' beads and bandannas and other trinkets.

would have, ample markets. for ell' the goods tney can make, at advance prices, and everybody would be better off. In traveling through the country tq the south It may be observed that there Is an abundance of food produced every year, the farming element and tha negroes In particular having more food stuffs -than -they have any use for, am yet ragged and ill clad. It Is the want of a medium of exchange that makes this condition, of -things so. There can be no over-production as long as there la 1 that large proportion of -our population who need clothes and cannot exchange thelf farm products for them.

NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT. "The second need for the Improvement of cotton trade is the revival of American shipping interests. Germany and England are taking our raw cotton to those countries, manufacturing it into goods and then shipping it to other countries at profitable prices. Germany is particular is making great progress in accomplishing this result. It- has beeq pointed out that American money Is becoming Invested in Germany, where 1( cannot And employment in this If we oould create proportionately 11 large American shipping Interests as ths United States once toad, we would prosper on this foreign trade alone, regardlen of any Improvement of our domeitis trade.

I made a visit lately to Newbury port and Salem in Massachusetts. There evidence In both those towns that at om time in the past they prospered greatly because of their shipping interests. At the present this interest Is practically dried up, and towns which were ones of Importance from a maritime, point of view have simply become very ordinary provincial New England towns, living 1 upon such domestic trade as they can find. "The cotton manufacturing interest! of this country can and will be greatly Improved by extending the knowledge ot better and cheaper methods of producing goods. It Is by the establishment of technical and -textile schools that Ger-, many has forwarded her textile Interests most.

Without the interest that nation has given to shipping she could not have prospered as she has done, but without her technical and textile schools she could not have created the business for shipping. subject is attracting a great deal of attention, both in New England and in the south. "A fine school has been established at Lowell by the people of Massachusetts and of Another fine has been, established In' FhUadelplA' ehtrtlr through the Instrumentality of Mr. Theo- dore C. there Is a discussion of the subject in many parts of the south.

AVIth better technical and practical knowledge! both New England and the-. south will make better goods at cheaper prices. This, of course, will have a ten---dency to extend trade, and will put us In better position to ship goods to foreign countries in competition with those ot England and Germany. COTTON PRODUCTION. "The production of cotton tn the south has reached the magnitude of 10,000.001 The tendency all the time has been to make more cotton at a cheaper price.

Ten years ago it cost $3 a bale to gin cotton; today many gtnners are satisfied with $1 a bale. In many ways the cost of producing -cotton and preparing It far tha market toss been reduced: This process of reducing cost will continue. The price -of cotton will In the main tend to go lower. The prospect Is that there will hs large quantities of cotton raised at -all. times in the future.

If we desire to continue to' manufacture It in this country and to Increase this Interest fa proportion to the production of cotton, it is Important to take steps to Improve our domestic trade: to extend our forties trade and qualify the coming generation by better education to make cheaper and better goods. In the work of accomplishing these results there is no need for controversy between the north and the south. -If there, is a little shifting from one section to the other of the making of certain lines of goods, there Is certain to remain ample room for the people of both sections in the manufacture of cotton If we will make ttoe conditions In the United States favorable for the manufacture. Any unfavorable laws are bound to apply to both sections, and any favorable law are bound to benefit both sections. The great, emphasis lately laid in New England on southern competition has been more for the' purpose of Influencing tho labor to submit to a reduction ot wagea than anything else.

THE SOUTH'S ADVANTAGES. "It has been from no conviction that l-e south had any more than the ordinary advantages that pertain io the pro Imlty to the cotton fields. Most of New England cotton manufacturers know this very the -past -they been mistaken about the needs for ter currency, system in the west and too south. They have been many time to that the reaction produced by this was of currency would finally reach them effect --their manufacturing Iwteresw. Southern competition toas very little to with their troubles at the present tim.

excepting in a secondary way, hut tit present condition must continue to era and no remedies are found for'lmproj our domestic trade, or our foreign trsa then for come time to come there la gw to be some hard sledding hi both section and the south trill probably stay in race about as long as there is anybody txi It "The present relative conditions exlstlnf north and south may not remain ions the same.

mouth of the river to attend, and he also insisted that the soldiers of the garrison should partake of tho good cheer. This was 'done to give the an opportunity to pass the fort, whose black-mutxird guns were a menace to all vessels that attempted to ascend the Savannah In a clandestine manner. It was necessary that the ship should reach Lamars plantation on the Savannah. and the only chance lay In -the recourse of the strategem, and right well was It carried out. When the hilarity, of the officers and soldiers was at its height the Wanderer entered the rivers UNDER COVER OF NIGHT.

Under cover of the darknesa the Wanderer stole stealthily up -the river, wider the guns of the fort, and past the city, reaching Lamars plantation In safety without having been questioned, There the human cargo was disembarked and the poor savages were turned over tS the old rice fleld negroes, under whose tutelage an attempt was made to reconcile them to their. sorrowful fate. Clothes were given them, but even though the cool weather had set In. they looked upon the garments with the greatest aversion, and It was a long time before they could be Induced to wear even a coarse cotton shirt The lingo of the rice negroes was of such a grotesque nature that none but the closest observer would be able to detect the presence of the new niggers," as the recent importations Were called, from the old slaves, and they were kept there for several months, after which they were sent to New Orleans and sold. The venture proved to be a very profitable one.

ALL GONE BUT ONE. Of the owners, Richard Dickerson and Benjamin Davis died years' ago.

Ch'arlle Lamar, who was brave as a lion and possessed cf all the chivalry of that noted family, met with a tragic death. AVhen Colonel Wilson's cavalry invested Columbus, from the Alabama side of the Chattahoochee river, he headed a forlorn hppe of old men, boys and Invalid sol dters and crossed the bridge and attacked the Federal cavalry. They were beaten back and retreated slowly and stubbornly across the bridge, disputing every Inch of ground. Wilson ordered a charge and in the terrible conflict on the bridge Lamar was Itiftled and hla followers trampled under foot by the Federal troopers and the town was This has been claimed as the last battle of the war, and Lamar was among the last of the victims or that terrible conflict in which so many chivalrous sons of the south gave up their lives.

On the second occarion the savages near the coast had become more wary and were not so easy to catch, so that the barbarous chieftain had to send farther into the Interior for his wares. He secured 6C0 of the required age, but they were of a superior race to those who had been sold during the previous voy-nge, had small hand and feet, were lighter In color and mere Inicllgent and tractable tban -the former cargo. At all events, they were driven aboard the Wanderer and confined in the hold, and the same horrible sufferings were DONT experienced as on the previous trip, and a great many elckened and died.
