“The Old Flag."
There is one sentiment which the cap
ture of the Yirginius by the Spanish
government has developed in the South
at which we are not a little suprised—a
sensitiveness about the honor of “the
old flag." Newspapers and politicians
cry aloud for the insult offered that sa
cred piece of bunting by the Spanish
Dons to be summarily and thoroughly
punished. Reporters md aspiring politi
cians roll the word war around their jaws
with as much relish as the old tar does
his quid, and the first indignity offered
the old flag ” brings the sweet morsel,
like the juice of the old tar’s quid, out
with a spi rt.
The demand for a better order of
things in Louisiana and South Carolina,
where this sacred emblem of liberty floats
in tranquil triumph, would come with more
grace from these new converts. When
it has the power to quell outrages where
it floats supreme; when it is a synonym
of security to those who lately battled
against it, instead of being a plea for os
tracism; when a “reconstructed” rebel
has the same chance with the “loyal lea
guers,” “boys in blue,” “soldiers of the
Grand Army of the Republic,” and oth
ers of that ilk, to earn his daily bread —
then, and not till then, will we have any
inclination to do homage to “the old
flag.”
We do not feel like turning against the
few friends we had when the South was
pouring out its blood in torrents to secure
its independence. Then the Union was
our open enemy and Spain our friend;
now the lovers of “ the old flag ” are our
pretended friends, while the Spanish
government has not forfeited its right to
our gratitude.
The Spaniards may have resorted to
desperate remedies to punish enemies of
their country, domestic and foreign, but
the patriot “adventurers” knew the risk,
and went inter the conflict with Spain
with their eyes open and a certain fate
before them if caught. We do not see
how a government that could sanction
the hanging of the “ traitor ” Mumford
and an open insult to the ladies of one of
our proudest cities, should be so sensi
tive about the shooting of traitors by
another government.
This cry for war to avenge an insulted
flag, we believe, arises, in a great meas
ure, from a desire for the annexation of
Cuba. W T e see it stated that the black
population of this island is two hundred
thousand greater than the white popula
tion. We candidly confess our ignorance
as to the correctness of these figures.
If that statement be correct, then no
better argument against annexation is re
quired in the South. We well
the evils that follow where ignorance
predominates at the ballot-box. We haye
a gigantic elephant on our hands now;
it would be better to dispose of one
mammoth load before shouldering an
other. Better let Cuba battle with an
archy alone, than to increase the anarchy
in our own land by her acquisition.
Nearly a Fire,
Aboxit 2 o'clock yesterday the coal
house of Mr. J. F. Auld, came very near
being burned. It seems that Mr. Auld,
who is a buggy and carriage maker had
purchased a lot of coal on Tuesday, and
had had it stored away in the house in
which he kept his coal. The fire had
been left in the coal, unawares by the
seller, we preseme, and hence the cause
of the conflagration. Mr. Auld's black
smith, wood, and paint shops adjoin the
coal-house, and had it not been for time
ly discovery, all the buildings on his
premises, and probably more might
have been consumed. The fire was dis
covered by a little boy, who gave the
alarm in tune to save the loss of proper
ty-
We advise those who deal in coal to
examine carefully and see that no fire
remains in it, as serious losses may re
sult therefrom.

county have generally finished picking

wheat.

A lawyer told us the other day that

found that we were indebted to a cer

THE BEADING CLUB.
Mr. Editor : With your permission, 1
would like to say something through your
journal, to the members of the Elbertpn
Literary Club, as well as to those who
advocate such organizations, but for
some reason or other have failed to be
come members.
I noticed in last week's Gazette, a
very flourishing account of the chibs
prosperity, and also that the meeting on
last Thursday evening would be unusu
ally interesting. It afforded me great
pleasure to see in print the “blooming
condition” of this society. Although,
I have not been very punctual in
tendance of late, for which I censure
myself to some extent, I imagined that
the club was as usual getting on well.
I was really astonished, and I may say
grieved, when on the night for that “un
usually interesting” meeting, the hour
arrived for the calling of the club to or
der, there were not exceeding a dozen
members in attendance.
Not A LADY.
Think of it, Mr. Editor. The organi
zation that should be the most popular
of any in our midst; the society from
which the old, middle-aged, and espec
ially the young can gain great informa
tionj and thereby improve themselves;
it is the fountain from which issues
continually a stream of beneficial conse
quences ; and finally, the one that lias a
decided tendency to benefit the whole
community in a material manner, even
proving a benefit to those who are not
members of the organization. This club
is to live, flourish, and prosper wthout
the presence of a female. The idea, with
in itself, is preposterous.
Far be it from me, Mr. Editor, to say,
or even intimate, that the ladies of our
town are destitute of literary taste, for
we know to the contrary; but, I would
say that I have tried but have failed to
conjecture the cause of their non-attend
ance.
Now, I would ask, can we as members
of the club, lie still, and see the last
spark of interest and zeal die out, with
no endeavor on our part to arrest the
ill wind that threatens to extinguish
the light, that once burnd so brilliantly,
and with so much zeaj ? I say nay'
Arouse yourselves, members, and let ev
ery one of us do our utmost to fan the
flickering spark into that bright, bril
liant flame, that not many months ago
illuminated our society so brightly.
The club, notwithstanding I appar
rently have written despondingly, is not
dead, nor is it likely to, but I liavo
prompted to write w’hat I have, from a
fear that the club would get into a leth
argic state, and its ambition be only to
know from the number of members in
attendance from time to time, that they
t till breathe.
I want the Elberton Reading Club
to outshine the brightest of all literary
societies, and it is irrefragable that the
best means of gaining this end, is for
every member to attend its meetings
regularly.
Therefore, let all the members attend
the club, and feel that interest without
which it cannot exist..
I appeal mostly, to the lady members
of the club to attend. Asa general thing
the male members turn out well.
Let us keep the “ball rolling” and
not let it go the way that a great many
like organizations have gone in Elberton,
“where the woodbine twineth,” is the
suggestion of an interested
Member.

Those interested in the tournament,

Good for Elbert.
A gentleman who has been out in the
world to some extent, informs us that,
among business men all over the coun
try, the credit of the merchants and bus
iness men of this county stands second
to none in the country. This is not only
a compliment to the business men of the
eSunty, but to every individual citizen
who pays his debts, and it is a character
well worth having and equally as well
worth being sustained
And yet we have another evidence of
the worth of our noble old county which
is fully in keeping with the above: We
find on inquiry, that land of the same
quality and capacity in neighboring conn
ties, in most instances with greater facil
ities for getting to a railroad, is not held
more than half as high in price as land
in this county. We saw a gentleman last
week who had bought land lying in from
ten to fifteen miles of a railroad. He
paid $4.50 per acre, and he says he did
not buy in Elbert, where he is living,
because land of the same character
would have cost him at least $lO an
acre. This does not go to show that rail
roads do not enhance the value of land, !
but shows rather that a railroad running j
through the county would make Elbert j
one of the greatest counties in the State. I
Improvement in Cotton.
The news from the cotton market for
the past week has been encouraging, and
there has been a consequent rerival of
feeling among merchants and business
men. When cotton is -worth 15c. in Au
gusta, as we are reliably informed it urns
last Friday, then it would be wise for
the planter to sell his cotton. True, cot
ton may go higher, and it may go lower.
There is, in all probability, a crop of four
million bales or over, and with such a
crop it is not likely that the Augusta mar
ket will afiord over 15c. We cannot but
think cotton will be at its best at the
opening of spring, but there axe few
planters who can hold up for that mar
ket. In the spring calculations as to the
amount of the crop can be more safely
made than at the present season of the
year, and the general estimate being a
crop of four and a quarter millions, we
believe it will fall short a quarter of a
million. Buyers, therefore, who are short
in the spring would have to buy from a
short market, which would make the
staple bring a higher figure.
We do not claim to be a judge in these
matters, but our advice is to sell now,
and further than that not to follow it.

Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
w hich is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gray
ok Faded Hair to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create anew growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
“The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the Best Prepa
ration for its intended purposes.”

the exposure of the great corruptions that now

to undermine republican institutions altogether.
