Elberton Entering Upon a New Era!
ller Schools can Make her Pros
perous.
Mr. Editor : The examination exercises
of this excellent school, just concluded,
seemed to afford so much pleasure to all
who witnessed them, that I feel assured
some account of no interesting an occasion,
however meager, will not prove unaccepta
ble to your many readers.
The whole course of exercises from the
admirable sermon of the Rev. Dr. Haygood
on Sunday, to the masterly address of Prof.
Waddell on Wednesday, gave unbouaded
satisfaction —not a single circumstance oc
curring to interrupt the enjoyment of this
auspicious season.
The house recently erected, was commo
dious und well arranged, and of sufficient
dimensions to 6eat comfortably the large
and appreciative audience assembled from
our own and sister couuties to greet the
young aspirant to academic honors; and,
“with music to fill up the pauses” from a
brass band, which “discoursed in tones of
sweetest melody,” all things conspired to
render the occasion a most enjoyable one
throughout.
Monday and Tuesday were devoted to
class examinations ot Text Books studied
during the term just closed ; and the ease
aud confidence with which the different
classes displayed the knowledge they had
acquired of Geography, Grammar, Arith
tic. Composition, Language, Higher Mathe
matics, illustrated most favorably and for
cibly, both the ability of the instructors and
the earnest attention of the instructed.
Ou Monday and Tuesday evening the
younger classes delivered extracts from the
speeches of eloquent orulors in such a man
ner as would have done 'honor to the origi
nal speakers themselves.
On Wednesday the Seniors appeared,
and, Mr. Editor, though I can Dot of course
intrude so much upoD your time and space
as to expect you to publish all their speech
es, set, M'eel assured that the large audi
ence then and there assembled would gladly
see in print the name of each speaker, asso
ciated with that subject which his admira
ble handling has invested with so many ad
ditional charms.
First came,
Wyche, of Merriwether,
with his motto “Never give up,” fiuely illus
trating, both by language and manner, that
the subject well suited the man, and that he
had been worthily selected by his instruc
t r to bear “to the lront” the banner of elo
quence in the struggle for academic
tame.
Then came,
Bonner, of McDuffie,
demonstrating with “thoughts that breathe
and woids that burn,” “The Duty of South
ern Young Men” to “themselves, their
country, and their God.”
Next followed,
Freeman, of Franklin,
Subject; “Capt. Jack’s Defence of tbe Mo
docs.” Unfortunately for him, Capt. Jack
did not “die on the field of honor,” but as
this was manifestly the fault of the perverse
Indian, and not of the gallant orator, the
audience very properly transferred to their
own favorite the meed ol praise the Modoc
chieftain might have won had he followed
the course so gallantly marked out.
J. K. Swift, of Elbert,
“Man’s own Achievments," a noble theme,
and nobly handled-
T. Hughes, of Elbert,
“Tribute to Gen. Lee.” It caused our
heart to beat with joy to hear the noble
deeds of this our own loved chieftain so
graphically described.
C. B. Henry, of Elberton,
discoursed so eloquently and understand-
of the “Improvements of the Present
Age” as to make us better satisfied than ev
er with being here at such a time, and even
more desirous of staying here as long as
possible.
H. P. Quillian, of White,
“The mind.” We feeurd many commenda
tions of this young gentleman and felt as
sured that he was thoroughly imbued with
his subject.
W. Mathews, of Elberton.
This young gentleman “subjcct”-ed
rigid scrutiny many magnificent failures of
the past, and demonstrated very clearly that
a “railroad” (on paper) is not a“real”-road ;
that all these “so-called” “extensions” are
but extensions of our gullibility, and (hat
the “Air-Line” is not an “air-castle,” but
the only feasible “line” by which Elberton
might be connected with “somewhere, no
where or anywhere.” His speech was a
good one, abounding in happy hits and hu-
morous allusions, and was well received.
J. F. WILLIB, OF FrANLIN,
next delighted the audience with a disserta
tion on “The power that governs.” Of
course thcladies smiled their approval of
his doctrines, while a few of the “hen-peck
ed,” in the absence of their “better halves”
expressed aloud their utter repugnance to
so “monstrous” a theory.
T. C. Carlton, of Elbert,
“The scholar’s hope.” A discourse abound
ing in beautiful images and well-turned
periods, and impressing the audience so fa
vorably by its graceful delivery, as to in
duce the expression on more than one lip,
that the eloquent speaker might realize to
its full extent thej “hope” he had so graph
ically described.
D. R. Keitii, of Merriwether,
“Labor omnia vincit.” An admirable es
say, delivered with that force and emphasis
which the earnest manner and rapid utter
ance of the speaker renders so impressive.
We predict tor this young gentleman a bril
liant career in the profession he has chosen,
and sincerely trust that as he climbs the
hill of fame, he may recur with ever increas
ing gratification to the instruction received
at the “Andrew Male High School ”
A fitting termination to these delightful
exercises was found iu the address of Prof.
Waddell of Franklin College. The subject
of education was presented from the teach
er’s standpoint, the outy of purents most
earnestly enjoined, and the whole matter
presented with such elegance of diction,
such grace cf manner, and such force of ar
gument as to produce an effect upon all those
who heard him highly cooducive to the
advancement of the cause.
The examination w*Sfi altogether a decided
success, and we bespeak fof the “Andrew
Male High School” that attention on the
part of its friends and that patronage 9R
the part of all those interested iu the cause
of education, which may make its influence
as extended as its merit is unquestion
able.
THE LEARNED PUNDIT AGAIN.
Our learned friend of the N.E. Georgian ,
in a late number of that interesting paper,
does us the honor to reply to our insignifi
cant article of a few weeks ago, in which ht
highlyly [flatters us for our industry, and
bestows numerous highly appreciated com
pliments, for which we desire to express our
obligation. There is an instance or two
where he (undesigucdly, of course) does us
injustice, ani wc merely mention the fact
in order that his attention may be called
thereto, satisfied that a gentleman so punc
tilious in nice questions of honor would not
wilfully misrepresent another.
The injustice we complain of is misquo
ting our language and so distorting it as to
make us express what we had no iutention
ot doing. This, as a matter of course, lie
will cheeifully correct.
We mention the following instances:
Our language. As stated by G’gan.
We deny as a fact McCarty . .. .
that “a good many far- occupies about three
rners iu that [Elbert] fourths of a column
oounty were plough- in his paper to show
iug up their cotton” that do cottoo has
on account of bad been ploughed up in
stands—in the usual Elbert county,
acceptation of the
term “good many.”
As we have never said there was no cot
ton ploughed up in Elbert, the mistake of
our estimable friend is apparent.
Again:
Our language. As “quoted.”
These reporters re- He says “the crops
port more cotton are better in Elbert
ploughed up in Clarke county than they are
than iu Elbert. in Clarkp.”
The wicked types make our veracious
friend intimate that we drew a comparison
between the crops of Clarke and Elbert, iD
order “to lead the people of Elbert county
to believe that we (he) thought more of
Clarke than we (he) did of Elbert, and
thereby injure us (him) in the estimation
of our friends.” We respectfully and most
earnestly disavow any such intention, and
when we state that our language last quoted
above was all we said about the crops in
Clarke, we are assured that so enlightened a
gentleman will not need even a disavowal of
intention to injure him with our good peo
ple of Elbert. If the Athens publisher
thinks more of the people of a neighboring
county than in the county in which he does
business, especially as the one for which he
shows preference agrees with our own judg
ment, we cannot condemn him.
As an instance to show how the very bad
little types of our accomplished friend are
bent on misrepresenting us, we are made to
work each day a half hour longer than we
stated. This we seriously object to, as, since
the hot season is upon us, it is as much as
nature can bear to be pent-up from 7 a. m.
to 7 p. m.
It has been intimated by a friend that the
language which so excited the ire of our
polished cotemporory was our statement that
“we had probably better inform the L. P.
that the offer of better terms will not cause
them (our reporters) to swerve from their
fealty—a statement that may save some
trouble;” but we must dissent from that
opinion, as we know him to be too brave
and honorable not to mention it if such was
the case.
As the weather is very hot, we suggest to
our philosophic friend the proprieiy of keep
ing cool—or as much so as the temperature
will admit-

SOCIAL, EQUALITI!
A CORNER ON WOOL!
In May last there came to this county a
doughty warrior in black, accompanied by
a womap of fair appearance indeed to be
linked in wedlock (as she claimed to be) to
so dark a knight. Tho man —Absalom Da
vis by name—wa9 a former resident of this
county till since the war, when he left and
went to Appling county, where he says he
remained until his return, at the time men
tioned above.
The woman, as we have said, was quite
fair, had red, or better probably, auburn
hair, and seemed devoted to her liege lord.
Suspicions were entertained by many of
the people in the vicinity where they lived
that the woman belonged to the white race,
and she was questioned closely upon the
subject. But sbe persistently claimed that
she was a negro and came of negro parent
age. This had to satisfy for the time, tho’
all suspicions were not allayed.
It was remarked that this would-be Di
nah kept her hair, though unmarked by na
tive kink, coiled ’ueath a handkerchief, and
when wbeu she went to the negro church,
which she frequently did, she kept her fuce
concealed as much as possible from the
staring crowd by the use of handkerchief,
fan or hand, which also excited fears among
“the ’spectable colored folk” that she was
“Dot what she ought to be.”
“Time rolled on,” und the ill-assorted pair,
behaving themselves properly, were per
mitted to dwell iu peace. But “there is a
tide in the affairs of men”—and women too,
for that matter —and so it proved in this
case.
Early la?t week a party of men from Ap
pling came to Elbert, armed with proper
legal authority, in search of this pair of
lovers. Short work was Buttle of it. A
warrant for their arrest,was placed if? the
hands of Bailiff Chandler, who proceeded to
their place of abode and executed the war
rant without delay. Absalom was securely
chained and placed in charge of the Ap
pling party.
It was ascertained that the womau was
really white, and that she was the daughter
of a Mr. Moody, a citizen of Applrag coun
ty. It appears that Absalom was working
for Mr. Moody, when it was discovered that
there was too great an intimacy between
him aud one of his employer’s daughters.
Steps were about to be taken to break off
this intimacy, when the guilty pair fore
stalled them by running away and coming
to Elbert. They both contended that they
were legally married, and that the license
was procured “from a preacher.” Toe wo
man protested her love for her companion ;
she said he was her husband, aud she in
tended to cling to him. The man was impu
dent to the lust, and when told that he was
liable to he sent to the peDiteutiary he did
not seem startled in the least.
The infatuation of this woman for a big
buck negro is remarkable as well as disgust
ing. A sensiole old negro declared that
“she had disgraced herself wid de white
folks, and ’spectable nigger people oughu’t
to ’soshate wid her.”
They lived, while in the county, several
miles below town, in the vicinity of Eureka
Mills. We hope the county is rid of them.
A Young Pugilist. —We have iu our
community, a young friend of about seven
teen summers, who will fight at the “drop
oJ a hat.” We admire good pluck when it
is called for, but unless it is necessary, we
cannot commend it. This lad to whom we
allude, was present at the examination ot
the Elberton Female Collegiate Institute
week before last, and feeling rather jolly and
in a talkative humor, he was indulging a
little too freely in a conversation, and so
much interested was he in the subject he was
arguing, that he forgot how much noise he
was makiug, indeed, he was so much absorb
ed in the conversation that all else was ob
livious to him. A lady near hinted
to him that he was disturbing the exercis
es, (we suppose more out of fun than any
thing else,) which caused our young
friend’s “angry passions to rise.” Stepping
outside of the building he exclaimed in “ac
cents wild,” (meaning the ladies of the
school,) “come on one at a time, and I’ll
give you what you need ; I can whip the
last one of you.” To this pugilistic youth
we would say, beware of such threats to
the ladies, or else the “fightin’ editor” of
this paper will give you cause to take his
“little bed” for a week or two.
What’s the Use. —ln our town is a
handsome young gentleman, who always
makes it a point when conversing* with us,
to use the biggest words he can think of. —
Now, we do not know that he does this to
stump us, for if he does, he has picked up
the wrong case, and we would admonish him
that he is “wasting his sweetuess on the
desert air,” if he thinks that he’s learning
us anything, and that he would do well to
persist in using these “jaw-breakers” no
longer as he might he cdled to account
for it and be “found wanting.”
Where is the man who wants more locals?
MAN KILLED 61A FALLING TREE
A HORRIBLE DEATH.
FULL PARTICULARS.
Last week we mentioned the fact that a
Mr. Bowsey, of Hart county, was killed by
a tree falling upon him. We have since
come in possessiou of all the tacts connect
ed with the dreadful affair, and we publish
them tor the benefit of our readers.
On last Saturday week Wm. M. Rowsey,
son of Edmund llowsey, left his home, near
Little Holly Springs, in Mart county, for a
ride on horseback. When last seen alive,
he was riding at a rapid pace along a coun
try road, the wind blowing a heavy gale.
Within a mile or so from this place he met
his sad fate.
On the morning following (Sunday) a
neighbor discovered a saddled, but riderless,
horse on his premises. He immediately
started out iu search of the rider, and soon
he came upon a scene which caused the
blood to stand still. In the middle of
the road laid the body of the uu
fortunate man, and diagonally across the
chest was the body of a tree, some eighteen
inches in diameter. Other neighbors were
hastily summoned, the tree rais'd, and
the body drawn out. On examination it
was found that the chest was mashed flat,
the boues crushed into minute fragments,
showing that death must have ensued on
the instant. One side of the lace was
badly bruised and scratched, which must
have been done by some portion of the
tree in its fall. When discoverel the body
was in such a state of decomposition as to
require the earliest interment.
The deceased was about twenty-one years
of age, aud was generally liked by all who
knew him.
Tbe father is a worthy citizen of Hart
county, and receives, as he deserves, the
sympathy ol the community in this terrible
calamity.
THE BALL.
The ball last Wednesday was a complete
success in every respect. The managers
deserve cojpmcndation for the excellent
taste displayed in providing retreshment6
and music. Lemonade was iiterally as free
as water, and as cold as the breeze that cil v
eles around the north pole. Waiters were
on the floor continuously, loaded with boun
tiful supplies of the refreshing beverage,
and he or she who desired it had only to
reach forth an arm to obtain it.
In the supper room the table, under the
deft manipulation of fair(y) hands presented
an appearance which could not fail to elicit
approving smiles from the most perverse
epicure, and to satisfy the appetite of even
the JOAtst complaining dyspeptic. Here we
fouud everything, from the airy sweets upon
which the dainty fairy-gods might feast, to
those more substantial dishes which satisfy
the inner cravings of the hungered.
The dancers tripped Upon the floor to the
time of exhilarating music, iufusing vain
desires to indulge among the more staid and
straight-laced who were de-barred from the
cotillion floor by real as well as imaginary
obstacles.
Abbevile, Oglethorpe, and Wilkes con
tributed with Elbert to an array of beauti
ful ladies never surpassed here or anywhere
els, and scintillations of wit played around
tbe joyful throug like flashes of untamed
lightning.
The music was all that could be desired,
dancers and lookers-on expressing themselves
as well pleased with the harmonious sounds.
All visitors and married men were allow
ed the privilege of the ball-room.
The door-keeper present on the occasion,
was an expert in the profession, as will be
seen from the following conversation :
(Enter stranger whose beaming counten
ance indicated that he was “gwine to the
ball.”)
Doorkeeper. —“Where are you going?”
Stranger.—“l’m goin’ to the ball.”
D.—“ Where do you live
S.—“F lives at home.”
D.—“ Are you a married man ?”
S. —“Yes, sir.”
D. —“Who did you marry ?”
S,—“l married a Miss K-, old man K’s.
daughter.”
D. —“Have you got any children, sir ?”
S. —“Yes, sir.”
D.—“ How many ?”
S.—“ Seven.”
D.—“ Well, sir, you can pass in.”
The questions were numerous and rather
impudent, but then there was two dollars
at stake, and there’s no telling how much
a man will take, and how many questions he
will answer, when it comes to the “money,
ticket or squibulum.”
Altogether the ball was one of the enjoy
able aflairs Elberton can boast of in her his
tory.
New Type.—We are gratified to state
to our many friends and patrons that we
shall appear next week in anew dress, hav
ing purchased new type for the reading
matter of the Gazette.

Writ of Lunacy. —On Monday last, in

ELBERT COUNTY PEOPLE IN A TOR
NADO.
We have been permitted to make the fol
lowing extract from a letter dated Erie,
Kansas, July 2nd, 1873:
All day yesterday clouds were drifting
about, and towards night they seemed to
culminate in such a manner as to predict a
storm. At length the thunder began to
roar and the most vivid lightning continu
ally illumed the sky, but little rain fell.
Some families retired at an early hour—we
did, but had not beeu in bed long until the
fury ot the tempest increased. Then came
a dreadful and continual roar, that seemed
to have no cessation; at length, however, it
ceased, every thing grew comparatively
quiet. At this moment the alarm of fire
rang out on the air; people left their hous
es, and soon the cry became general; but
no one could tell where the fire was, theu
came crie3 for “help ! help!” Every oue
was mystified, lor nothing could be seen
through the darkness txcept when the Jess
frequent lightning flashes came. In a
shorter while than it takes me to write it,
messengers came running in from the out
skirts of the town to get aid lor the rescue
cf those who were suffering from the rava
ges of the dreadful toruaao —for such it
was. One eye-witness described it as hav
ing the shape of an inverted hay stack, per
fectly black, with a ball of fire at the top
Its course was Southwest. Several houses
were demolished; others had the window
sash blown out, the toofs taken off or the
sides down. A Mr. Denny, his wile and
two children were taken out of their house
by the wind and carried some distance from
it; they were removed to a neighbors, their
faces and heads crimson with blood. Au
other man named Williams had two ribs
broken, two boys blown out of the windows
and house laid in ruius—some had their
legs, faces and arms hurt; do one killed
that we have heard. With the rest of us
you will regret to learn of Mr. Trencbard’s
misfortunes. His kitchen on the lack of
the house was severed from the main building
and blown to atoms—-theydon’t know where
rhe material is. The cellar underneath con
tained all his supplies; large rocks were
hurled into it, destroying everything; the
sacks of meal and all wheat flour they had
were blown off; the smoke-house was lifted
from its foundation and carried away, they
dou’t know where; the dwelling house,
strong aud well-built as it was, was lifted six
feet north of its foundation ; the furniture
fell from its place. In the room where
Willie was sleeping, the bed was blown so
as to knock him agaiust the wall. The
house is so injured that it will have to be
all torn down and rebuilt. Just think of
it! But this is not all: the large, n : ce barn
that was built last year is an entire heap of
ruins; the horses all escaped but the car
riage was destroyed. The house of a tenant
justn few yards from Mr. T.’s was lifted in
fo another place, or rather field, the family
ill if.
Death of Another Old Citizen.
At nine o’clock on Monday night, the
14th, Dillard Herndon, a citizen of El
bert county, died, aged about seventy-eight.
Judge Herndon was a native of Orange
county, Va., but came to this county in his
youth. He grew up and developed into
manhood in Elbert county, and being a
man of superior intelligence, honest, and
of unswerving integrity, he won the confi
dence of the people,
lie served the county for several terms
in the Legislature, and if he had wished it,
could have retained his membership almost
indefinitely, so entirely did he possess the
confidence of the voters of the county.
Witty and quick at repartee, his compa
ny was sought after and enjoyed by both
old and young. Benevolence was one of
his marked characteristics, and the distress
ed were never turned empty-handed from
his door.
He was a member of the Baptist church,
and has been for a number of years. We
are informed that for forty years he has giv
en fifty dollars yearly to the support of the
gospel, and it is said he has provided iu his
will for a continuation of tbe same amount
years to the Baptist church at ltuck
ersviße.
Judge Herndou lived and died without
ever being married, and he never saw a rail
road. He had his faults, like other men,
but the greatest was that which makes a
man his own worst enemy.
Destructive Hailstorm.
On Thursday last several plantations on
Savannah river were visited by a hailstorm
whose destructive powers were of the most
alarming character. Wherever it touched
the destruction to the crops was almost com
plete—the stalks ot cotton stripped of leaves
and branches, aud the corn torn into rib
bons.
The planters most injured, as far as we
can learn, are—Dr, Langston and his ten
ants, A. A. Blackwell, M. L. Stanton, Thos.
J ones, and probably one or two others.
The stones ranged from the size of guinea
eggs down, and the amount that fell was
so great that one gentleman said ho could
have raked up cart-loads in the fence cor
ners.
By this storm some of our industrious
farmers have almost entirely lost the fruits
of their labors for the present year—a real
calamity, indeed, and especially to those
who rented lands.
To Our Reporters. —We must express
our obligations to the gentlemen who so
kindly assisted us in making our reports
last week as well as for the present issue.
We thank you, gentleman, and, as “ouegood
turn deserves another,” we hope you will do
so frequently, |
The crowd in Elberton last Wednesday
was the largest we have ever seen in this
Place,
Found —Two beautiful and accomplished
young ladies of our acquaintance, while
perambulating the grounds about the Male
Academy during the recent commencement
in search of a favorite flower, whose name
we have forgotten, (we meau the flower a,)
one of the ladies fouud a jet car-ring. W e
happened to see this little car ornament,
and we can say without the least hesi*
tancy that it was as largo, well, we suppose
it was as big as a piece of cluilk, and weigh
ed something under a pound Any ona
having lost such ao article ns described
above, can procure the same by calling at
this office, paying for this notice, giving a
description ot the properly, and paying a
considerable commission fer storage.
—
The Brass Band. —The Band engaged
for the commencement exercises of the An
drew Male High School we believe gavto
universal satisfaction, and the amount of
blowing they did during their three days'
stay is terrible to contemplate. They were
always ready, and upon a signal being giv
en, harmonious sounds pealed forth iu vol
umes sufficient to satisfy the most mus.c
huugry gourmand that ever breathed. The
band was composed of cobred men, under
the leadership of a competent musician.
The behavior of the members while here
was all that Ouuld be desired. Athens has
good reason to be proud of her brass band.
RIDING. —Last Wednesday afternoon,
the streets of our town were alive with ve
hicles of every description. It seemed that
nearly every young man that could com
mand a “turn-out,” embraced the opportu
nity, and about six o’clock, that evening,
on every street might have been seen nu
merous buggies, etc., whose occupants seam
ed to be enjoying their rides to the fullest
extent. We have heard it said that the
young enjoy these eveaing rides greatly,
aud we expect that it is so.
That Ball. —Our good trieuds, tie
trustees of the Andrew Mate High School,
objected to the terra “Commencement,” as
applied to the ball last, week as the word,
they thought, intimated that the bull was
connected with the exercises of the school.
There was no connection whatever between
the two. The ball originated with the young
gentlemen of Elberton, aud was intended
as a sort of rcuuion at parting with the
scholars who were about leaving for vacation.
The term “Commencement” was used be
cause the ball was given just after the clos
ing of the commencement exercises.
Our DEVIL.— For some months past, our
office has been minus a devil. But few
newspaper offices of our knowledge was ev
er in this predicament before us. A devil
to a newspaper office is almost as essential
to its prosperity, as the warming rays of tho
sun is to all growing vegetation, and feeling
at a loss witlicut one, We have engaged a
very handsome youth in our town, who
comes in our office occasionally, and plays
the devil so well, that we will give Wm a
ticket]to tb£ ia that comes
around free gratis, for nothing. On Sun
days he wears a little blue cravat.
Elopement ExTAORDifiAnY. —JamesT.
Hammond, a gay and festive Benedict, left
his Wife and children last Suuday week, and
eloped with a young girl. They were both
tenants on the plantation of Eugene W.
Hewitt. Which way the guilty couple fled
we have not ascertained.
