4 CAPTAIN R. M. MITCHELL AND HIS ROAD. The projectors of tbe Augusta, Gibson and Sandersville Railway made a capitel beginning by electing Captain R. M. Mitchell President of the corporation. Ho is not only an mieiieciuai man, of a high order, but backs his mental gifts with an indefatigable energy and'personsl magnetism of a very rare and remarkable character. Hp has a more varied acquaint ance in Eastern Georgia than any person in this region, and his popularity is co extensive with his knowledge of individ uals. Every foot of the ground is known to him, and every door opens hospitably nt his approach. Men, women and chil d on not only have a personal fondness for him, but confide religiously in any scheme or business he endorses. He has, of late, given much time and study to the local railway problem, and his views have been presented in such a shape to neighbors and *riends that they are deter mined to back him in his undertaking at constructing a narrow gauge road from Augusta to Sandersville. We have, from time to time, dwelt upon the advantages •f such a road to this city, and the people along the line know its history and hop es by heart. The Chbonicle will do all in its power to aid, comfort and encourage Oapt. Mitchell and his scheme. If all the thousands of persons interested in it will give the project a substantial “boom,” it is highly probable that the iron horse will snort its welcome to Sandersville by the end of 1884. That such may indeed be the case is not only our wish but that •f an outside multitude who are anxious to reach Augusta as a market. We advise our friends in the city and county to more than meet them half-way. A SOVEL WAR. The druggists, at their recent meeting, determined to remedy what they consider an unjustifiable encroachment upon their special prerogative. They complain that dry goods and notion stores have attempted to undersell them with patent medicines, cosmetics, etc., etc. They claim that dry goods men have no business to sell such things at ail, and if such a trade is per sisted in retaliation will follow, by con verting the drug business into a dry goods one, half and half of each. A reporter of the New York Herald, however, states that before a crisis is reached the druggists will endeavor to arrange with the manu facturers so as to establish a regular line of rates for their goods. If successful in that way they will be satisfied, for then the dry goods dealer having a regular line of prices will be unable to, undersell the druggist. The wholesale drug dealers so far have not taken sides with either party. Some of them, however, say that it is a subject in which they cannot dabble, for the money of the dry goods or notion dealer is just as good to them as that of the retail druggist. Mr. Leith, Secretary of the Pharmaceu tical Association, says : The druggist requires larger profits than the keeper of a notion store. The latter, how ever, has undertaken to ruin the druggist, and is doing so effectively. He has seised upon the only articles of general’demand, and the sale cf which heretofore assisted in squar ■N, up the druggist’s accounts. Druggists are compelled to keep among their stock articles that may not be called for once in a year. Things are different with the dry goods deal ers and, having bought the 'goods from the manufacturer or jobber at the same prices as does the druggist, they are well able to dis pose of them at a much cheaper rate. It would appear strange if druggists would turn round and begin selling silks and linen goods ata ebeaper rate than can the regular dry goods dealers. From present indications it would not surprise me in the least if before a year has passed a yard of calico can be bought in the drug store. In country groceries many drugs are sold at far cheaper rates than they sen be disposed of by any druggist. A regu lar schedule of prices, if adopted, would, however, stra ghten out matters, and put an end to the trouble. It would be odd indeed if this retaliatory scheme were carried into practical opera tion. Possibly, for a season, the people would profit by the unnatural competition, but, in the long run, some sort of compro mise would restore the old condition of things. — THE TRUTH ABOUT IT. However Henry Gbokge may err as to many of the remedies he proposes for tbe cure of wholesale poverty, no doubt can exist that he has annihilated by argument the wicked and mendacious Mai husian theory of population. God made no mis take when He bade man increase and mul tiply. and history is painfully explicit, as to individuals end nations, whose viola tion of this command brought them to despair and destruction. We hear tbe cry of overpopulation in England and in Germany. It is regulated in France and portions of America. Sir Wm. Armstrong and Prince Hohenlohe rail at the fecun dity of the English and Teuton peoples and desire a new statute to be enacted against that of the Almighty. But it is the infamous legislation of despotic men that is to blame for the crowding of multitudes in contracted spaces. The remedy is near at hand. Ireland could support ten times her population but for accursed British domination. The same is true of Scotland. The English, Irish and Scotch people are huddled together, not because tbey have not land enough to support them, but because the nobility and gentry shut them out from one-fifth of the land, which is turned into pleasure parks er hunting-grounds. And in order to maintain that unnatural condition for the good of a few privileged persons, Sir Wm Armstrong makes war on the fruitful women and takes issue with the Lord of Glory ! Prince Hohenlohe follows suit. But the people of England, we are told, under the agitation of Joseph Aech, are moving in this n atter, and the signal given by Abmstbong and Hohenlohe may be potent for the destruction of the feu dalism remaining in Great Britain and Germany. The example of Belgium is given to prove that a people can be immensely populous and yet prosperous and content ed. The Chicago Tribune points the moral and draws the contrast thus: “A brief “ examination shows that this state of “ things arises from the fact that the “ country belongs to the people and net “ lo a privil. ged few —that nearly every “ -qua e inch of ground is under cultiva “ tiem. Not an acre is reserved for grouse “ room, or deer mountain, sheep walk, or ‘‘ bullock range. With the exception of CHRONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1883. “ the town parks and town lots, the toads “ and the rivers, the whole area of Bel “ gium is under crops or pasturage. The “ English are beginning to ask them •• selves, Why should not every acre of “ England be under cultivation ? Why “ should men and women be driven to rot “ in the towns while millions of acres that "could be made bloom and yield abun “ dantly and where happy homes might “ be are reserved for sporting purposes?” No, the earth is abundantly large for all inhabitants likely to be born upon its surface. The God who bade men increase will find modes of making good His words and He will also punish most severely all infraction of them. There is no legisla tion needed to prevent overpopulation. The laws necessary to carry out the Di vine mandate are such as will restore to the people the soil that has been unjustly wrested from them and put out of their reach for the sensual enjoyment of a hand ful of lordly proprietors. The multiply ing people like the Germans and the Irish and Americans of the South will in herit the earth at last. They will not for feit their possession until they fall into the bestiality of the Pagan empire of Rome and into the “modem improve ments” of portions of France and New England. JOHN T. WATERMAN. We have already expressed our sympa thy for the misfortune that befell our friend John T. Watebman, in the loss of bis newspaper office by fire. The insurance upon the printing material will suffice to start the Monroe Advertiser again, but Mr. yfATEBMAN’s personal losses are almost absolute. It is sad enough that a good man, with high and noble purposes, keen ; intelligence, blameless life and character, should be subject to one such trial, but this is the second time that Mr. Watebman has had to behold “his household gods all wrecked around him.” The embarrass ments of the first disaster had been bravely borne and energetically overcome, when, in an instant, and by what appears to have been an act of unspeakable malice, he and his family have been compelled to re build once more their shattered fortunes. We confess that calamities like these, so underserved and so disheartening, might well drive the strongest spirit to despair; but we feel assured that Mr. Watebman will accept the second dis pensation as he did the first, and that he will make what disaster following disaster only the “stepping stones to high er things.” Our heart goes out to him in sincerest sympathy and our purse would follow our heart if it had the least surplus for such stewardship. But we do trust that those whose cause he has championed so ably and who, in some cases, are so well dowered with the goods of this world will give him substantial aid and comfort. Mr. Watebman has been a valiant and uncom promising advocate of prohibition and has made some bitter and unrelenting enemies, but the people of Forsyth and Monroe can not, and will not, .we trust, however much some of them may differ from him, permit such a man and such an editor to be unfairly dealt with. The writer has confidence in the grand spirit of Georgians in vindicating men who have been wronged. The majority of the people of Monroe and its vicinity will vindicate John Watebman, who has the courage of his opinions and tbe mastery of his soul. The writer does not agree with Mr. Watebman upon one of the questions of the day which has made him obnoxious to a few people; but we have never seen the hour that we did not respect his con victions, esteem his motives and honor the singleness of purpose with which he main tained his views conscientiously. God forbid that we should have other senti ments, and we thank heaven that, in a moment of mishap, we can only remember that a brother is in need. Our eternal regret is that money is so powerfully lack ing to supplement the kind words that are meant to rival the widow’s mite. THE NEGRO PROBLEM. Rev. Atticus G. Haygood has widely distributed his speeches at Monteagle and Chautauqua, as he wrote and spoke them. It is easier to rail at Dr. Haygood than to answer him. We may differ from him essentially in some respects, but he is too strong a reasoner to be sneered out of the field. He finds that the South and the whole country are confronted with a race problem of an extraordinary character, full of doubt, danger and uncertainty.— How to best grapple with that problem is the earnest endeavor of many good men, in all sections. Senator Jonhs, of Nevada, has one way. Dr. Haygood has another. Around what may be called these extremes of opinion there are numerous side-issues. There can be no doubt that race prejudices lie at the very core of all national dis turbances. This is true of the Orient as of the Occident* It is peculiarly true of this Republic. No specific has been found that can be called a certain one. We once before stated that Mr. Stephens, who never hesitated to at tempt solving the most intricate puzzles of salesmanship, confessed that the Negro question was to him an insolvable one. It would be easy to show how European na tions deal with their warring nati nalities, but, in some respects, our case is sui gene ris and not comparable with that of any other. Great Britain has a summary way of dealing with dark races ; but her sub j ects in the East are not fortified with a bal lot and woven politically into the whole fabric of the empire. Her schoolmaster is armed with a sword. The African King Cetewayo has put a whole sermon in a few words, while addressing his tribe. He says: If you think you can do anything against the English, ge on in your stupid way an 1 you will be sorry for it You will perish as a ves sel on the sea that is suddenly filled with water and is no more. What are you ? If you got all the white people of this country, Eng lish, Boers, and also the black people, to help you, what could you do against the English ? You could do nothing, You are simply like a fly cn the nose of a strong man; you can be brushed away in the wink of an eye and be no more. Listen to me; stop this foolishness of yours, and pay homage to the English nation. Listen to me: lam among the English people and know them. If you now despise my words, jump down the precipice. I swear to you that you are acting as children; there is no black race that can do anything against the English. The black king and people that listen to the English and talk nicely with them are the only ones that will die from old age and save their country. It is safe to say that there is no black race that can do anything against the white race, in the long run. Dr. Haygoob thinks, since the colored people are here and probably to stay, the best plan to make them hurtless to our civilization is to educate them. Others contend that the j negro will not be benefited by education but made more noxious. The chances are that the Haygood experiment will first be tried. According as it shall prove a suc cess or failure, the problem will be nar rowed to sharp future decisions. It is certain that Gen. Gab field had gloomy forebodings of this colored vote, although it elected him to the Presidency. It is certain that not a few Republicans of the North regret that the negro was enfran chised. It is an historic fact that Gen- GBANTandhis party had to wipe out white suffrage in the District of Columbia in order to get rid of an intolerable negro vote. We see it stated that Fbed Doug lass desires the coming convention of his people to endorse Robebt Lincoln for the Presidency. If Mr. Lincoln’s name be sprung, we may expect some Logan or Abthub striker to quote the following pregnant paragraphs. On one occasion Abraham Lincoln, father of the accidental ly prominent young man said : “I am not, and never have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to inter marry with the whites; and I will say further, in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the black and white races, which I believe foiever forbids the two racee living together on terms of social and political equality.” In 1862, discoursing to a deputation of negroes who waited on him to ascertain his views he said : ‘‘Why should not the people of your race be colonized? Why should they not leave this country? This is perhaps, the first question for consideration. You and we are different races. We have between us a broader differ ence than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but the physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffers greatly, many of them by living with us, while ours suffers from your pres ence. In a word, we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it shows a reason why we should be separated. You, here are freemen, I suppose; perhaps you have long been free, or all your live 3. Your race are suffering, in my opinion, the greatest wrong inflicted on any people. But even when rou cease.to be slaves, you are yet far removed from be ing placed on an equality with the * white race; you are still cut off from many of the advantages which are enjoyed by the white race. The aspiration of mania to'en joy equality with the best when free, but on this broad continent not a single man of your race is made the equal o’ ours. Go where you are treated the best, and the ban is still upon you. Ido not propose to discuss this, but to present it as a fact about which we all think and feel alike. We look to our conditions owing to the existence of the races on this con tinent. I need not recount to y'u the effects upon white men growing out of the institution of slavery. I believe in its general evil effects upon the white race. See our present con*, dition. The country is engaged in war, our white men are cutting each other’s throats, none knowing how far their frenzy may ex tend; and then consider what we know to be the truth. But for your race among us, there could not be a war, although many men en raged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Nevertheless, I repeat, without the institution of slavery, and the colored race as a basis, the war could not have had an existence. It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated. The results of the war forced the Re publican leaders into extremes tbey never dreamed of, and it is safe to say that a formidable faction of the party would not only gladly get rid of negro suffrage but the negro himself. There are many South ern Democrats who meet on this common ground of race antagonism. Now it is not practicable, so far as we can see, to dis franchise or colonize the mass of colored people. As these remedies, first suggested by Mr. Lincoln, are not now feasible, others must be tried. Dr. Haygood, as a minister of the gospel and philanthropist, prefers peaceful and humanitarian meth ods. He may be wholly mistaken in his panacea and in the race he would benefit; but it appears to be the best policy to give him a rational chance to demonstrate his wisdom cr folly. We confess that many similar experiments have not been specially harmonious or fruitful of good. But there is no harm in hearing Dr. Haygood before striking him, and if his plan be proved, by facts, a wrong one, he will be among the first to admit it, and then some other philosophers can, as circumstances arise, try their hands at making a triumph where he has met with discomfiture. EXPRESSMEN LIABLK. Mr. A. S. MERRILL, the popular express man, of Brunswick, Me., writes us on May 15, 1883, as follows: “Having been severely af flicted for about two years with inflammation of the kidneys and bladder, so-called by my physicians, I suffered with distressing pains in my back and retention of urine, caused by a stoppage of the neck of the bladder, and a complication of other diseases. I was hardly able to atteod to my business, and at times would be completely prostrated. I was also affected with incontinence of urine to an alarm ing degree; indeed, it demanded my attention fifteen or twenty times per night, and at times it would seem impossible for me to ride down to the depot on my wagon, for everv jar from the wagon would almost t eem to take my life. Having failed to obtain relief from my doctor, I finallv consulted our druggist, Dr Merry man, of Brunswick, and requested him to fur nish me with the most reliable and speedy cure for such sickness, for I was suffering too much for human nature to endure long. The doctor recommended me to use Hunt’s Reme dy, as it had been used with remarkable suc cess in a good many cases in Brunswick and vicinity. I purchased a bottle and received such great relief that I continued and had not used two bottles before I began to improve be yond my expectations. The pains in my kid neys and loins disappeared. I gained strength and mv water began to pass naturally, and I was able to sleep somdly, and obtain the greatly needed rest :h for a lorg time I could not. lam ft .entered to health, and can attend to my buoinees. Thanks to Hunt’s Remedy for my restoration, and I highly re commend it to all who are troubled with kid ney complaints.” COULD NOT LIFT A FOUNT?. The above are the words of Mrs. Harriet Bailey, of Putnam, Conn. She writes May 3, 1883: “I have been troubled with kidney and liver disease for two years. I suffered severe- Iv in the back and loins. Before taking your wonderfal medicine, Hunt’s Remedy, I could not lift a pound. After giving it a fair trial, I began to improve, and can now truly say it was a ‘Godsend to me,’ as I am now able to do mv household work and enjoy the best of health. I have recotr mended Hunt’s Remedy to two of mv neighbors, who have been great- Iv benefitted by it. This letter I send volunta rily, with the hope that it will be the means of inducing some sufferer to use Hunt’s Remedy, and be cured as I have been.” GASFIXTURE 3.

Although the "erosive acids, mineral medicines and poison? aie found to ros sess the power to palliate chronic bffl e tioDS and allav the symptom? of the various chronic maladies, yet the dangerous nature of these powerful agents prevent their in ternal use for a period sufficient to pro duce a cire. For if we shou’d persevere in their use for any extended time we would endanger the general health if not the life of our patient. Therefore to expell the fa tal causes or germs of chronic diseases we are necessitated to resort to “Nature’s own remedies,” Botanic or Vegetable Medi cines, to cleanse the b’ood and organisms of all germs of disease. With the assurance that we can use them days, weeks or years without the slightest injury to our pa tients. On tbe contrary, many times we find vegetable medicines quite equal to nutritions food and drink to the sick. In Europe the great and learned Drs. Villimen, Rudolph Coch, L. Pasture, and scores of other eminent physicians have adopted Botanic or Vegetable medicines with such remarkable results, that it is revolutionizing the former theories and practice of medicine the world over. Hence Drs. Wright and Lapyre, Aleopathic Phys icians, through experience in hundreds of extreme chronic cases in the past many years’ practice in large cities, have bad abundant proofs of the great value of Bo tanic or vegetable medicines, and have adopted it exclusively in their practice. Through the above potent principles in medicine Drs. Wright and Lapyre are en abled to permanently relieve or cure every case of Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Throat and Lung difficulties,Liver Complaint,Dys pepsia, Rheumatism, Nervous and Spinal Diseases, General Debility, partial Paraly sis, Loss of Manhood, caused by disease, excess or youthful indiscretions; Cancfr, Tumors, Abcess, Fistulai, Old Sore Limbs, Varicose or Enlarged Veins, Hemorrhoids or Internal or External Bleeding Piles, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Exema and all Eruptions of the Skin.

GRAYS Nismviu.E. tew.. sihvmh, ga„ august*, ga. MASON ICTEMPLEI ■ I—i 1883. FALL 1883. Installments of our FALL STOCK are arriving daily, and in every Department pertaining to the Dry Goods Bus iness we will have the VERY LATEST NOVELTIES I Without disparaging others, we claim that the well known taste of our Buyer, MB. DALY, and the unstinted time and personal attention which he gives to the selection of Goods, enable us to offer the Most Perfect and Elegant Stock in the South. FIRST-CLASS PERFE jT GOODS coat more than Imperfect Goods—“ Seconds” —and Imitations; and Houses that handle Goods of the latter classes are not slow to encourage, if not create, the impression that they sell Goods cheaper than those who handle the best Goods. We give an absolute Guarantee on Prices for the Goods we carry, not merely against this market but against every market in the United States. This Guarantee refers to the General Stock, excepting Homespuns, Checks, Prints, Shirtings, &c., the wholesale prices of which are known to everybody by the Brands, and which are offered by some Merchants below their value for a purpose. We do no “Baiting,” preferring to depend on the intelligence and common sense of the People. DRESSMAKING. This Department will be Superintended by MRS. DA VIS, whose management gave so much satisfaction during the past season. DALY & ARMSTRONG, WE ARE OFFERING GREAT I IN . FURNITURE! Preparatory to Moving. Our Stock is Com plete.
