The (Superior Court for McDuffie County
was opened here last Monday. Judge H.
C. Roney, who is already recognized as an
honest and fearless judicial executive, de
livered an able and exhaustive charge to
the s-rand jury, but being disqualified to
preside in many cases before the court in
consequence of former connection with
them as counsel. Judge Allen Fort pre
sided in his stead and soon impressed
every one present with his eminent fitness
for the high and honorable position. Cor
dial and courteous in social life as he is
dignified and able on the Bench, higher
honors await this distinguished young
Georgian.
The criminal business disposed of was as
follows: State vs. Simon Lokey, colored,
murder, plea of guilty, sentence peniten
tiary for life; State vs. Lula Blanchard,
attempt to mnrder (poisoning), plea of
gniHv of an assault; State vs. Jas. Glover,
carrying concealed weapons, transferred to
County court; State vs. James Flemister,
simple larceny, guilty, and State vs. Ro.
W. Ramsey (white), assault with intent to
mu’der, verdict of not gnilty.
All the cases in which Judge Roney was
disqualified to preside having been adjudi
cated, be was last night engaged in bear
ing other causes, and he will clear the
docket this week.
Thomson is rapidly improving. New
buildings have been erected in different
parts of the little city, an academy is ap
proaching completion and the foundations
for six brick stores are now being pre
pared. These new stores will be built two
by Mr. T. A; Scott, two by Mr. Willis Ger
ald, one by Mr. T. N. Lewis and one by
Dr. Quillian, at a cost of 351,800 each, and
are to be furnished by September next.
Having ’•ecently purchased and refurnished
the Gerald House, Mr. C. E. Knox is now
running at Thomson one of the best hotels
in Georgia.
1 have it from the best authority, that if
Governor Beynton shall ba continued in
his present office Hon. Wm. D. Tutt will
become a candidate for the Presidency of
the Senate. There exists no doubt of his
ability to fill the position with distinction,
and scarcely any of his being elected with
out opposition.
Money I find a scarce commodity here,
owing doubtless to the low price of cotton.
M.
Ilnrlre Connty.
Herald and Expositor : “ Quantities of
guano sold m Burke this season. We fear
that farmers’ plans this year are not so good
as they were last year.”
Washington County.

who owned and ran a small farm out eight
or ten miles from town last year raised
with two mules, thirty-eight bales of cot
ton, three hundred and seventy-five bush
els of corn and one thousand bushels of
oats. This is a most gratifying result from
farming operations, and we have yet to see
the record of a two-mule farm for last year
that beats it.
Dougherty County.
News and Advertiser: It has been feared
by many that the fruit crop in this region
had been injured by the recent frosts; but
we have found no one yet who has taken
the pains to examine the fruit trees but
what reports them all right. Mr. H. L.
Long, of Lee oonnty, who is one of the
best informed and most experienced fruit
growers in this part of the State, says that
bis cr?p has not been injured.
Floyd County.
Courier: J. F. Wardlaw, Mayor of De-
Soto, in behalf of council and citizens of
the village, yesterday placed in the hands
of W. H. Wardlaw, first assistant chief of
Romo Fire Department, $lB7 80, a vol
untary contribution to Rome’s gallant
firemen as a substantial recognition of
their heroic services which have been ren
dered from time to time on occasions of
disastrous fires which have occurred there.
Cherokee County.
B. Lively, Esq , of Free Negro District,
Cherokee oour ty, hung himself last Friday
in his <om crib. He was a widower and
left 3 children. When found hia knees were
nearly touching the floor, showing that in
order to extinguish life, be hau deliberate,
ly held up his feet. He left a writing ex
plaining that his time had come in which
he left some advice to his children. As a
business man he had few superiors, aad
was ever held in high esteem by his friends
and acquaintances.

on the Beale place now occupied by Mr.
Sam Magbie, Wesley Yancey, a negro boy
about grown, shot and killed another ne-.
gro by the name of Arthur Weston. Yan

dental, but the verdict rendered by the
jury of inquest states that it was done
••through ma’iee ” therefore, a case of mur
der. Yancey was arrested and brought to
town on last Monday and had a hearing

CHRONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1883.
Hart County.
Bun : The farmers say small grain is look
ing unusually sorry, but hope it is no bed
sign.—We notice a great deal of erergy
and pains being manifested io the prepa
ration of land for corn and cctton.
Clarke County.
Banner- Watchman: “Fall oats that were
sown on bottom lands cannot possibly
make a good crop this year on account of
the poor stand—not more than one-half.
This is a terrible calamity to many who
have staked their all on this crop.”
Thomas County.
Times: Fruit has been injured by the
cold and frequent frosts; corn has been bit
down; truck farms injured, and all early
crops more or less damaged, but the vital
question —with us—is: has the blackberry
crop been ruined ? If so, then indeed,
does ruin stare us in the face.
Rockdale County.
Register: ' More produce of all kinds bas
been sold in Conyers this fall than ever
known before.—Rockdale is now better
supplied with good farm stock than we
have ever known it. And the most of it is
home raised, too.—The capital stock of the
new factory contemplated at Peachstone
Shoals has been increased from $250,000
to $650,000. Only cotton yarns and ging
hams will be manufactured.
Cobb County.
Journal: “Our farmers are the owners of
good farm stock.—Tnere is still a good
deal of cotton in Cobb county.”
Coweta County.
Advertiser: “Coweta county, with its
1,500 Sunday school workers, ought by
all means to be represented at the State
Sunday School convention to be held in
Augusta, May 2d, 3d and 4th.”
Oglethorpe County.
Echo: “English sparrows do not seem to
do much damage in this place.—Grain is
not overly promising in some sections of
the county. —Lots of improved farm im
plements are being sold in this county.”
Greene County,
Mr. H. H. O’Neal is one of the citizens
of Greene county who is doing something
in a practical way. He killed enough
meat to fill his own needs, and the other
day brought to town twenty nice, fresh
hams, which he disposed of to our mer
chants at a good price per pound.
Rabun County.
Last week while two little sons of Joseph
Cburcb, of the Fork District, Rabun coun
ty, were out chopping near the house, a
sapling accidentally fell upon the herd us
the younger one, scalping nearly all the
back part of his head, causing a ghastly
and dangerous wound. The little boy is
yet alive, but his final recovery is doubt
ful,
Newton County.
Star: Corn planting has commenced in
some sections of the county.—A guano
manufactory is spoken of by some of the
capitalists of Covington.—The people about
Newton Factory are pushing ahead with
their farm work with unusual vigor. They
have sown largely of small grain, and are
turning their attention more to the raising
of stock than they have been doing here
tofoie.
Columbia County.
Sentinel: Grovetown has a regular water
melon boom. The all absorbing topic is
water-melons. It is estimated that 500

chal, 40 acres, and many others.
Sumter County.
Republican: “The tail end of Wiggins
storm wiggled over Sumter county at a ter
rific rate about noon on Monday. It de
molished fences, blew down trees and
Scattered things generally in the northern
and northwestern portion of the county.
It sleeted and hailed to a considerable ex
tent, and on Tuesday morning the weath
er was mucn colder than on the preceding
day. We have heard of no damage having
occurred, only to fences.”
Dade County.
Citizen : “The wheat outlook in Dade
county is very good. Larger acreage than
usual sown last fall, and with a favorable
season a heavy yield is expected.—Weath
er extremely cold here last night for the
season of the year, with considerable iee
this morning. Fruit all killed by the
freeze it is thought.—lt is rumored here
that the body of an unknown man, nearly
eaten up by the buzzards, was found on
the mountain near Rising Fawn on Sunday
evening last.—We notice a great deal of
iron ore of a superior quality is being
shipped from this place. It is taken from
the mountain spurs around the town and
hauled to the railroad in wagons.
Walton County.
News: Mr. Berrien Upshaw recently
killed a shoat only eight months old which
weighed only 180 pounds.
We hear the usual cry thet the fruit is
all killed. We do not believe it.
Mr. J. M. Day, of Sheffield, Rockdale’s
most noted trapper, caught, last week,
twenty-two beavers, nine otters, two ceons
and forty musk rats. They are worth about
S9O. He trapped on the Oconee river and
Bear creek.
Some days ago Mr. J. M. Tucker, who
lives two miles this side of Jug Tavern,
hired a negro man who gave his name as
Bill Jackson to ditch for him. Bill was a
stranger in that neighborhood, but con
ducted himself well and no one knew
ought against him. Last Tuesday night
eight or ten masked men rode upto the
cabin where he was sleeping, cc”qbt him
and held him till the other negn. >s in the
house ran cut, and then shot him through
the head, killing him instantly. It is not
known whether the murderers were black
or white, but it is thought by our infor
mants that Jackson was taken by the men
for a revenue spy and killed. “Dead men
tell no tales.” An inquest was held by
Coroner Chaffin, and a verdict returned of
“killed by unknown parties.” Such hor
rors are becoming entirely too frequent in
this county, ana the reputation of our
county for peace and quiet is being badly
injured. Is there do way to enforce the
I law and bring criminals to justice?
PALMETTO STATE.
Spartanburg County.

raised on the top of Saluda mountain was

80; pay of State witnesses, $53 30 and
yay ot constables, $45 60.
Fairfield County.
The physicians report more sickness in
town and thoughout the country than
there has been for soma time. A pecular
cold attended with fever and pain in the
side, is raging like an epidemic, and it
seems that everybody must, sooner or later
pass through the ordeal. In some instan
-1 ces it assumed the form of pneumonia, in
others catarrhal and broken bone fever.
Aiken County.
We learn that all the Schuetzen clubs
and military companies of the cities of
Augusta, Savannah, Charleston and Co
r lumbia have been invited to at’end upon
the 18‘h and 19th of April, the festivities
. of the Aiken Schuetzen Club, to be held at
their park in the suburbs of Aiken. The
i German Fusilier band, of Charleston,
i which for so many years has come to us on
■ similar occasions, has been engaged for
. this year also. A pleasant time may be
expected.
Marion County.
Stir: “A fire on last Sunday
about 8 o’clock, destroyed the barn, stable,
and contents, including two mules, and
two bogs on the plantation of Mr. J. M.
Johnson, about two miles from town. Mr.
Johnson’s loss is estimated at about SSOO.
The building was insured. It will be re
membered that come time ago he had his
barn Ac., destroyed by fire in town. 2he
fire is no doubt the work of an incendi
ary and every effort should be made to
catch the inhuman demon.
Richland County.
Register: “Two of the knitting machines
at the stocking factory of the penitentiary
having been set up on Tuesday, they were
set in operation under the supervision of
Mr. Tilton, the superintendent of the
company, and a full grown stocking
speedily came forth, to the astonishment
of those of the lookers on to whom the
operation was a novelty. The object was
to test the working quality of the South
Carolina made yarn for this purpose, and
the result was pronounced by Messrs.
Moulton and Tilton as satisfactory.
Fairfield County.
The splendid granite which is found in
the neighborhood of Winnsboro and other
localities of Fairfield county has long been
recognized as the fines 1 in the country for
building and ornamental uses. The Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad com
menced work on Monday on a track which
will connect their road with the quarry on
Major Tom Woodward’s place, which,
when completed, will greatly facilitate the
delivery of the rock and the development
of an important industry at that point.
The road will be four miles long, and will
connect with the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad at what is now known as
Robertson’s.
Barnwell County.
People: On the 15th inst. Bethany, the
eight year old daughter of Maria Middle
ton, colored, caught fire from a torch with
which she was lighting trash heaps on Mr.
W. F. Weathersbee’s place, in Four Mile
Township, and was so severely burned
that she died two days later. —On Friday
night Mr. Lewis Creech was knocked down
and robbed on Marlborough street, by
colored assailants, of a email amount of
money and several valuable papers. On
Sunday night Daniel Grant and Caroline
Brown, both colored, were arrested and
lodged in jail to await trial for the crime
at the April term.—Four scribes are now
regularly employed in the clerk’s office.
One is occupied in filing liens and the
others are busy in recording bills of sale
and’ mortgages to secure payment for ad
vances. Credit is too ebunda’nt, but farm
ers are presumed to know their own busi
nsßs beet, and if they and the merchants
can stand it the rest of the world can.
Abbeville County.
Press and Banner : “A twelve-year old
son of Wightman Arnold, a tenant on Rev.
R. W. Seymour’s farm, in White Hall, was
killed Iqet Thursday by the mule which
he was riding. The animal became
frightened at Mr. Hunt’s runaway team,
and throw the boy off his back, the boy’s
foot becoming fastened in the plough gear,
and he was dragged for some distance. By
the time he reached Mr. Seymour’s stable,
the boy was dead from his bruises. Mr.
Hunt’s wagon was badly smashed. —We
leara that the friends of the Savannah
Valley Railroad contemplate making an
other effort to raise the necessary subscrip
tions to finish the work of grading. To
further the interests of the road public
meetings will be held at various places in
the county, when speeches will be deliv
ered. We are informed that the following
appointments have been made for meet
ings : Lowndesville, April 3; Riley’s
Cross Roads, April 4; Mt. Carmel, April
5; Bordeaux, April 6.”
CARD FROM HON. H. D. MeDANIEL.
He Will Not Canvass For Governor, But
Is Before the People of the State.
Covington, Ga., March 22,1883.— Editor
Banner-Watchman : My attention has been
called, whilst here in attendance upon
Newton Superior Court, to your recent ar
ticle under the caption, “Our First Choice
for Governor.” The compliment extended
is profoundly appreciated. Any man should
be gratified to receive commendation so cor
dial and emphatic from the Banner- Watch
man. Lest there be misunderstanding as
to my attitude in the present race for
Governor, allow me to state it. The max
im of the fathers was, that office at the
hands of the people should be neither
sought nor declined. I recognize the
right of the people to require the services
of tho citizen, in any position to which
they may consider him adapted, and his
duty to respond, whenever circumstances
permit. Since the’ death of our
lamented Governor Stephens, and
the necessity for an election, friends in
many counties, notably in Clarke, have ex
pressed a desire that I should enter the race.
I could not know, in the short time per
mitted, how general might be this desire
and preference amongst the people
of those counties. Appreciating the
recent loss of the people, in the death of
the Governor, and the sorrow of the peo
ple, I could not consent to make a per
sonal canvass for the succession. In* re
sponse to letters and in conversations, not
intended for the public, I have pre
sented this view, but have said that while
I do not wish to become a candidate at
this time, if the Democratic Convention
acting for the good of the party and the
welfare of the State, should see fit to nomi
nate me, I would not feel at liberty to de
cline. Henby D. McDaniel.

SONS OF VULCAN.
Movement Among Puddlers to Reor
ganize An Old Order.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Pittsburg, March 26.—A movement is
said to be on foot among the puddlers to
reorganize the old order of Sons of Vul
can and withdraw from the Amalgamated
Association. A puddler who was a dele
gate to the Chicago convention of the
Amalgamated Association stated to a re
porter to-day that arrangements have been
so far perfected that to-morrow, if the
word was given, three thousand peddlers
would ask for cards of withdrawal from the
Amalgamated Association. Three meet
ings have been held here lately,
and at the last one eighty-five delegates
’were present from Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia, Illinois, Kentucky, Mis
souri and New York. The policy of
the leading lights of the Amalgamated As
sociation in admitting persons without a
trade into the organization, and the action
of the finishers last summer in withdraw
ing from the strike, thus causing its fail
ure, are given as reasons* for the contem
plated action. Nothing will be done until
after the signing of the scale next
June, unless the finishers insist on an
advance at the scale convention to be
held in this city on April 7th,
when the puddlers will withdraw
from the association at once. He
said the puddlers would Dot ask for an
increase but would not submit to a reduc
tion. Secretaiy Martin, of the Amalga
mated Association, when spoken to on the
matter, asserted strongly that he did not
believe there was any truth in the state
ment. Assistant superintendent Griffith,
of the Springfield, 111., iron company has
left this city, having er gaged. "85 non.
union men to fill the places of the striker?.
POLITICAL PERSECUTION.
CLOSE OF THE INVESTIGATION AT
COLUMBIA.
All of the Drfendants. Except Two, Dis
charged— The Darlington Cases—No
Cans* Found For Detaining Any of
the Prisoners.
(Special to Chronicle and Constitutionalist.)
Columbia, 8. C., March 21.—A1l of the
Fairfield prisoners were discharged by the
Commissioner to-day except two, the Com
missioner stating that there was absolutely
no evidence of proof of any violation of law
on the part of tbe oiher eight defendants.
The only evidence against the two who
were held for trial in the Uoited States
Court at Charleston, wrs that one on the
day of election bad a pine board with two
nails in it waiving it in the air and the
other exhibited a war-like weapon in the
shape of a case knife. The world now
knows what constitutes, conspiracy in
South Carolina. The Yankees must send
no more pine boxes into this State and our
people must return to first principles and
use fingers instead of knives unless too
great familiarity with these terrible in
struments of the conspirator should finally
overthrow this great government. The
Commissioner overruled the motion of de
fendants’ counsel to bind them over for
trial at Greenville leaving the question of
jurisdiction to ba settled by the circuit
ctaft. All of the other cases against the
Fdtfield people were dismissed without a
hearing of the evidence, on legal grounds.

Another Account.
Columbia, 8. C, March 24.—United
States Commissioner Bauskett concluded
his examination of the Fairfield election
casesand rendered a detision this morn

The Charleston Investigation.
Chableston, March 24.—The prelimi
nary examination of McFaadin, Wheeler
and other citizens of Clarendon county,
charged with conspiracy to intimidate
voters at the last election, was resumed
here to-day b fore United States Commis
sioner Gayer. There being no evidence to
sustain the charge, the Comrr issioner dis
missed the case and the priseners were re
leased. These were the partit s, the cir
cumstance of whose arrest created some
excitement in Clarendon county a few
days ago.
OhjMyßack!
That’s a common expres
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver com
*'* plaint, consumption, cold,
rheumatism,dyspepsia,over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don’t
neglect it Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Brown’s Iron Bitters, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and mak
ing the blood pure and rich.
Logansport, Ind. Dec. i, 1880.
For a long time I have been a
sufferer from stomach and kidney
disease. My appetite was very poor
and the very small amount I did eat
disagreed with me. I was annoyed
very much from non-retention of
urine. I tried many remedies with
no success, until I used Brown’s
Iron Bitters. Since I used that my
stomach does not bother me any.
My appetite is simply immense. My
kidney trouble is no more, and my
general health is such, that I feel
like a new man. After the use of
Brown’s Iron Bitters for one month,
I have gained twenty pounds in
weight. O. B. Sargent.
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recom
mend Brown’s Iron Bit
ters. It has cured others
suffering as you are, and it
will cure you.

RELIABLE TESTIMONY.
Philadelphia, Fa., Sept. 6, 1882.
Hop Bitters Co.
I sm 74 years old, have lived 31 years in
Philadelphia, and well known among Ger
mans. I have been troubled 12 years with a
white swelling on my right foot, and getting
worse every year, and very painful, and break
ing out in hot weather. I consulted several
doctors and they told me it was incurable and
I would hive to take it with me in the grave.
Sometime ago I lost my avpetite, was costive,
had headache and fever, in fact was very sick.
I saw in the German Democrat that Hop Bit
ters was what I needed. I got a bottle, took
it one week and was as well again as ever,
ard to my greatest surprise right from the
first, my swelling went down gradually, and I
t<king another bottle got entirely well of it.
The wife of my neighbor had two such swell
ings on her legs and three bottles cared her.
I think this is a great triumph for your bitters.
John Stoll,
No. 4 Young’s Alley, above Willow st.
Stippshill, Ind., Nov. 13, 1881.
Deab Sirs—l have read so much about Hop
Bitters and always being afflicted with neural
gia, weakness, diseased stomach, never hav
ing much health I tried a couple bottles; it
has strengthened and helped me more than
any medicine or doctor. I am now on my
third bottle and am thankful that it has
helped me. I will advise all that are afflicted
to give it a trial. Lucy Vail.
Beat The World.

Letonia, Pa., April 13, 188?.
Hop Bitters Co.:
I have not been well for three years, tried
almost every kind of patent medicines, and ro
less than seven doctors, one of Elmira, N. Y.
None have done me any good. I finally tried
your Hop Bitters, and found them just the
thing. I have praised them so highly there is
a great number here who use them with great
benefit and satisfaction.
Very Bepsctfully Yours, B. Hunt.
Gentlemen—The “Hop Bitters’’ meet with
large sales and gives general satisfaction, one
ease in par.icular you should know of. Mr.
John B. Green, 728 Spring Garden St., Phila.,
Pa., has been suffiring from kidney affection
which superinduced rheumatism. He tried
physicians and remedies in vain. He was
obliged to take morphine to induce sleep; his
trouble was so great. P.eading your adver
tisement in the “Christian at Work,” he was
prevailed upon by one of his daughters to try
it. Three bottles effected a cure, and now he
is an enthusiast for “Hop Bitters.” He is one
of the oldest residents in the locality named;
and known as a gentleman of unusual probity.

I have been troubled with vertigo since last
July, and have suffered greatlv every night,
after any considerable exertion, from dizziness
and blindness. I tried two bottles of Hop
Bitters, and since then have been entiroly re
lieved. Respectfully yours,

I have been suffering five years past with
neuralgia, liver complaint, dyspepsia ana kid
ney complaint, and I have doctored with four
teen different doctors who did me no good.
At last I tried Hop Bit‘ers, and after used a few
bottles I received a great benefit from them,
and if I had used Hop Bitters regularly i
would have been well before. I know them
to be the best medicine in the world for ner
vous diseases 01 ail kinds.

“I believe it to be all wrong and even wicked
for clergymen or other public men to be led
into giving testimonials to quack doctors or
patent medicines, but when a really merito
rious’article composed of valuable remedies
known to all, ana t’ at all physicians use and
trust in daily, we should freely commend it,
I therefore cheerfully and heartily commend
Hop Bitters for the good the? have done me
and my friends, firmly believing they have no
equal for family use. I will not bo without
them.

A good Baptist clergyman of Bergen, N. Y.,
a strong temperance man, suffered with kid
ney trouble, neuralgia and dizziness almost to
blindness, over two years after he was advised
that Hop Bitters would cure him, because he
was afraid of And prejudiced against the wor i
“bitters.” Since his care he says none need
fear but trust in Hop Bitters.
My wife and daughter were made healthy
by the use of Hop Bitters and I recommend
them to mv people.—Methodist Clergyman,
