Tbe Persecution of Woodward.
The Atlanta papers are striving to show
which can manifest the greatest amount of
virtuous Indignation at tbe fact that Mayor
Woodward may have taken too much intoxicant
at a recent meeting of city mayors in
the city of Toledo, Ohio. It would appear
V?. Uarnr WfiMmarrt's nftv?ndln2 rested I
fcUBb ??JW4 M vv??i? w.?. w
oblefly Id offering some alleged disrespect to
the Mayor of Chicago. If the alleged disrespect
had been offered to any other than the
Mayor ;of Ch'.cago, It would seem tbst all
znlght have been forgiven.
The unmerciful assaults by tbe city papers
upon Mayor Woodward excites our sympa*
thy for tbe man wbom these dallies would
destroy.
Tbe little parrots In the country printing
offices, as proveD by the extracts copied Into
the .dallies, lead us to believe that the
Georgia parrots have very Jlttle brains and
very Utile courage to express an opinion
different from that which had been Inspired
by their file leader, or their master, as tbe
case may be.
It was very weak, even If It waB not
*naughty, In Mayor Woodward to get drunk
and offer IdbuU to tbe Mayor ol Chicago.
The Mayor of tbe Windy City should havej
been approached by the Mayor of Atlanta
"on all fouiB," and when duly sober.
We hare no sympathy with unprlnolpled
and heartless assaults by anybody upon tbe
character of anybody else. These same assailants,
as a rule, are very discreet as to
wbose character they would assassinate and
tbe little parrots who repeat such assaults,
deserve very little respect from good people
anywhere. We never did bave much respect
for a parrot, and we bave no respect at all for
tbe act of assailing character. Character Is
the most sacred of all things on earth, and be
wbo would destroy It Is a vandal indeed.
If the editors of tbe Journal and the Constl
tutlOD were to run for Mayor ol Atlanta
against Mayor Woodward, wouldn't you vote
for Woodward?
A man with a good heart, tbe highest
principles and the noblest Impulses, may
bave a weakness for liquor, and he may fail.
Tbe man who would kick a fallen brother lfr
lacking In manliness and subjects himself
to ugly charges.
It Is the whole-souled, warm hearted man
who develops a weakness for liquor, while be
whose heart Is as dry as summer dust Is
comparatively free from temptation, and
being free from temptation he Reldom gets
drunk.
The man In kicking a fallen brother does
not manifest the highest and the truest
type of a noble manhood.
Woodward, though drunk, may have a better
heart than sober, cold-hearted, unprincipled
assailants.

Ha a the Town Attained Its Growth?
Mr. Ylsanska having Invested so largely In
the cotton mill and having put so muoh
money in our new hotel, feels that he must
rest a while, and does not now find it convenient
or wise for him to take the lead Id
anything else. No one else having appeared
willing to take the Initiative In any other
effort to advanoe the Interests of the town, 11
may be lafely Imagined that the town Is fin
iabed, for the present,at least.
Bat we have now the opportunity of a life
time In getting the Presbyterian College.
In little while all .the colleges will bave
found permanent resting places, and then the
hope of college for this town will be gone?
along that line, at least.
The hlBtory of the recent past would-prove
that no enterprise pays In material advantages
as well as a college. But our people
aeem to be asleep to their be> t interests, and,
aa far as we are Informed, no attempt at effort
has been made to secure the prize which
might now be had.
If we had a college at our doors much greater
advantages for an education would be
ofltored to our youtig men.
If 150 students spent from 8200 to S300 each,
the town would receive a great advantage.
If a dozen educated Christian teachers were
to make their homes here, wbo would dare
limit theft Influence for good amongst us?
If an endowment fund ofi50,000 was put In
circulation at Abbeville, who Is It among
you that would not be benefitted ?
Aa a school or a college benefits every
citizen, and as the financial benefits are distributed,
the best way to get the college Is by
the Issue of bonds by the town. The presence
of the oollege, with Its teachers, Its Btudents
and lti endowment would be worth to the
the city, say 9250,000. Then to secure that
Increase of materlul things, to say nothing ol
the spiritual and educational advantages,
860,000 would be a cheap price to pay for It.
COTTON BROADCAST' .
Experience of 3fr, 8. M. Fleming at
Baiting the ' SiAple In a \ew
Way.
Mr. 8. M. Fleming, whose farm is on Norrls
Creek three miles soutb of tbe city was la
town laat sale day, and we having heard that
he had been sowing cotton broadcast, we
asked bim about Ills method. He said:
"I first pat stable manure on tbe land at
tbe rate ol about five two horse loads to the
acre. Then I broke It with a two horse ptow.
and then sowed tbe seed at a rate or two
bushels to the acre, but that was too much,
and more than I would sow again. Tbe next
work was with a cut-away harrow to cover
the seed.
Alter tbe cotton began to come up, I run
my weeder over It, which killed the grass
and tblaned the cotton, repeated this work
with tbe weeder twice a week until tbe cotton
was too big.
"The stalks average about five to tbe * quart
yard, and tbe average bolls is about twenty
to tbe stalk?or about one hundred bolls to
tbe square. Tbe cotton has never stopped
growing. It has shed no bolls. The bolls are
as good and aB heavy as In tbe adjoining crop
which was cultivated In tbe usual way.
Borne ot my frlendB, who have seen the crop,
say that the sowed land is producing better
results than the cultivated land.
"1 wouldn't advise anybody to sow bis
whole croD. bot 1 would advlbe all to try a
small patch. It wouldn't do to take all the
work from cotton choppers. The cotton
picker Is coming, and then we will all be
happy." v
Mr. Lewis Rsmey Lowes by Fire.
Last Sunday night tbe barn of Mr. Lewis
Barney.was struck by lightning and the barn
was completely destroyed. Two cows were
burned with tbe barn. It is not known
whether the cows were struck by lightning or
burned alive. Two buggies we;e also burned.
TherV was no insurance.

Doenis per pound.
Tbe cotton fields are white and but few

leaving tbe wire and Insulators stranded
on tbe ground. Our readers will remember
the lightning struck and tore up four . or five

IN AND ABOUND THE CITY. 1
On last Friday night this olty was visited
by a magnificently grand, yet terrlfio, elec- ,
trlcal storm accompanied by a fine rain.
The heavens and earth seemed literally sur- I
charged with electrlolty, as the llgbtnlog (
flashed continuously, while tbe thunder ,
crashed through the clouds with deafening
peals, both together were enough to frighten i
the wits out of nDy one and more especially <
those ol a nervous disposition. The dwelling ,
of Mr. Horace McAllister on Upper Main
street was struck by lightning going in I
through the phone and tearing off plastering, <
breaking a mirror and out throueh the cell- ]
Ing and roof setting the latter on fire, causing !
the Are alarm to be sounded, to which the
Are company responded promptly, but we be- ]
ileve the lire was extinguished by the rain r
about I be time they arrived.
Mr. and Mrs. McAllister, were we believe, i
both shocked by the terrible electrical cur- j
rant, but are since all right and have the con- >
gratulations of their friends upon their uar 1
row escape. The dwelling of Mr. Cbeves Haskell
Just beyond and on the same street fe:t j
very sensibly the shock and was filled with
electricity ana melting me quicKmver on 1
several mirrors. (

"The tbonder roar'd and the lightning

And broke old granny's mirror all to

The wind Itself wrb enough to score timorous
souls bat when electric bolts descend?*)
and when the rains came down from the
oloads Id great backets full, "balls of Are"
were kicked about after the manners of a
football tesm, even tbe Buckling hsbes took t
alarm, Rome of tbe "balls of Are" were
thrown over tbe palings and onto some of tbe
lots. When tbey bepsn to hit chimneys and

when tbe flre company, under the
command of Capt. L. A. Rlcb/py. nobly and
bravely tnrned out Immediately while the '
storm was still racing. Tbey ran to tbe Indicated
spot where cblmneyaand tbe bath tubs
bad been entertaining their owners by playIn*
with "balls of flre" In such a way as to
make the veryjeye balls of tbe denizens thereabout
jlnkle with fear. And while soured 1 '<

of their own fears, the electrlo plant winked
Its other eye, and except for the deafening
thunders, the town wax for four or five -<
rolnntea as dark and as silent asthe.bour
when graveyards yawn.
After the storm passed over the city to the ' > j
entertainment of tbe people It struck off in
the direction of Long Cane Creek, passing the >
home of Auditor Richard Bondley. The
wind blew straight hgalnst tbe side of tbe
bouse, while tbe rain came straight down
through tbe roof. After the storm bad passed
tbe dwelling of blm tbe balrs of wbose defenseless
head bad been completely soaked
wltb water, tbe storm as if it seemed tobave
forgotten something, came back, bitting Mr.
8ondlev's bouse on tbe other side. Tbe rait) J
came down as before, and wet tbe bonsebold
goods and tbe household gods as thoroughly
