Colored School Examination.
The examination of the colored school
in Elberton, taught by J- W. Price, took
place last Friday. Owing to the inclem
ent weather but few white people were
present. The examination was said to
be creditable to teacher and pupils.
Mr. T. A. Chandler, clerk of the Supe
rior Court, gives special attention to the
collection of claims, and warns all
against whom he holds claims to settle
without delay.

so much suing as a rather bad omen, and
hope it will not long continue.
Call and examine my entire stock of

styles. J. Selig.
The members of the A. M. E. church
gave another hot supper last Friday
night, the make up of which, judging
from the liberal sample sent us, was of
a first-rate character. A neat little sum
was realised.
J. Selig is constantly receiving fresh
goods. His stock of domestics, dress
goods, flannels, shawls, jeans, cassi
meres, clothing, boots, shoes and hats
is large and attractive, and he offers
them at extremely low prices. Give him
a call at Elberton.

The Career of Andrew Johnson.— This
statesman and patriot has passed away,
but his deeds will live after him. What
a commentary is his fame on the advan
tages of an American citizen? Unlettered
and unaided, relying upon himself, he
advanced step by step from the lowest
station in life, to the highest office in
tire gift of the American people. All
this was accomplished by unswerving in
tegrity, dauntless courage, and persever
ing research. By the exercise of these
principles, it is in the power of any poor
and friendless boy to attain the same
grand result. The same success is at
tainable in the commercial world as in
the political, as is proven in the case of
Dr. Tutt’s Standard Preparations. He,
conscious of their value, labored patient
ly, and to day no medicine has taken so
firm a hold on the public estimation as
his Liver Pills They stand on the top
most round of the healing ladder.
A snake has at last been found in Ire
land, and much excited speculation is
indulged as to how the reptile came
upon the island. A gardener in Baiting
less, Wicklow county, discovered the
snake on his premises and killed it. It
measured five feet in length, was black
on the back and yellow underneath. It
appears on investigation that a gentle
man brought two snakes from India to
Ballinrodan, both of which escaped six
or seven years ago. One of these was
destroyed by a pig, but the other was
never found. It is considered probable
that the snake recently killed at Baiting
lass is identical with the one which es
caped from its custodian at Ballinrodan.
The Condition of the Colored Race.
’ We were told on good authority a few
days ago that a considerable portion of
the colored people in this county were
in a destitute condition and would likely
sutler for food and clothing the coming
winter. The reasons given by them for
this state of things are numerous, but
the more prominent one is, short crops,
causing inability to pay up for the year’s
supplies.
On the question of negro labor our
people are divided into two classes : one
believing it to be the only practical farm
labor for this climate; the other believ
ing and declaring that its employment
will inevitably result in beggary to em
ployer and employed. The result of our
observation is that the latter class are
making yearly accessions, and the form
er is being correspondingly i-educed.
Not a summer passes—the heated term,
when cotton requires the closest work—
that we do not hear the almost univer
sal cry about the Unreliability of negro
labor.
It is plainly evident therefore that the
latter class of employers we allude to
have some foundation on which to base
their belief. But is there not a way by
which a reformation can be brought
about ? and, if so, where should reform
commence ?
Notably among the negroes in the
country are some who labor faithfully
and diligently, are reliable, prudent in
buying, slow in selling, and, we note
more particularly, make the whole fami
ly work—make the family self-support
ing. These we find to be thrifty, and
many of them have purchased homes—
humble they may be, some of them, but
still homes, where “none can molest or
make afraid.” This number we think
large enough to leaven the mass if util
ised to that end. Let them be held up
as examples before the unfaithful.
The negroes themselves must be the
active ones in bringing about reform.
They are, theoretically, very religious.
In all church matters they are commend
ably active, but they too often let their
zeal in this respect go beyond the bounds
of prudence. It is not everything that
is done in the name of the church that
is conducive to religion. Prominently
among the errors in this direction is,
among other things, the hot suppers
they frequently give for the church’s ben
efit. In the hot suppers themselves
there is nothing improper, but the fact
that a turkey, a shcat, or something of
that nature is missing a day or two af
terwards shows that it is made the occa
sion by unworthy ones to supply them
selves at the expense of others. The
scriptural injunction to ‘ avoid the sem
blance of evil,” should be heeded partic
ularly. The same may be said concern
ing their campmeetings. It would be
an act of great self-denial to deprive
themselves of these occasions, but better
that than permit the acts of wrong-do
ers to involve the reputations of those
whose motives are pure.
In another direction, too, we note an
inclination among the race to injure
their usefulness among the white people.
Naturally clannish, they suspect and im
pugn the motives of him who brings to
punishment the greatest criminal of the
race, and often question the purity of
the officer who sits in judgment*or the
veracity of the witness whose testimony
establishes the guilt of the accused.
This can only prove injurious to the
fault-finders, as it only widens the breach
existing between the whites and blacks,
which they should rather be attempting|to
bridge over with confidence. We have
noticed the frequent trials of negroes
before our courts, and we could not see
that their attorneys were less earnest
and diligent or the scales of justice less
evenly poised than in the ti'iai3 of white
men. And if there is any essential dif
ference in the maintenance of the rights
of the two races we have been unable to
discover it. The social distinction ex
ists, of course, and always will, nut no
ether.
These causes, in their way, have had a
tendency to make the labor unreliable.
Want of confidence produces sullenness
and indifference at the pinching time,
when work is unpleasant any way. The
negro must make up Ins mind to labor
faithfully and carry out his contracts
to the letter, else his race must inevita
bly go under, and the suffering predic
ted for the coming winter be but a fore
taste of greater suffering yet to come
And if they -would prosper, the wife and
children must work, as the wives and
children of thrifty white men are doing,
and when thrift and prudence shall have
brought about prosperity, its enjoyment
will well replace the beggarly pride that
now furnishes rags and starvation.
This country is destined to rise, and
wo to those who are not prepared to
grow with its growth and be prepared
for its prosperity. The car of prosper
ity will prove a car of Juggernaut to
grind them into powder.
Being among their natural and best
friends, it would be well for the negro
race to commence the necessary work of
reform that their future home should
be assured in this country.
A Terrible Affair.— ln Jackson coun
ty, W. Va., last week, a grard house
raising took place. As is customary on
such occasions, chickens had been killed
bv chopping off their heads. Two little
sons of the owner of the house to be
raised was present and had seen the
chickens thus guillotined, and during
the day 'concluded to repeat the opera
tion. It was just at a time when the
men were lifting a heavy log into its
place. The father, who was holding one
end of the log, casting his eyes towards
the little fellows, one of whom had the
ax raised to sever the neck of his broth
er, let go of the log to save the boy, and
it fell, killing six men, two instantly, the
others living only a few hours. The ax
fell befere the father could reach the
scene, cutting of the head of the son.

LOVE.
“Love like a shadow flies, when substance love
pursues,
Pursuing that that flies, and flying what pur
pursues. ”
Me. Editor.—Dear Sir: You ask the
name of the author of the above couplet,
and the author’s meaning. I cannot
give the author’s name, but will endeav
or to give the proper interpretation.
The meaning is somewhat given in the
lines of Moore:
“The friends who in our sunshiue live,
When ninter con.es are flown.
And lit who has but tears to give,
Must weep those tears alone.”
Let me offer the following poetical
paraphrases:
1.
Love ever asks of love that’s true,
That proofs of love be made ;
But flies when he who doth pursue,
Seeks substauce, not the shade.
2.
Love iike a shadow flies away,
When proofs of love are due ;
The shade will fly—the substance stay—
When true love doth pursue.
3.
Love like a shadow flies away,
When debts of love are due,
The false will fly, the true will stay,
The shade and substance too.
4.
Love flics from love, and will not stay,
When love ptir.-ues for pelf;
Love like a shadow flies away,
Unless loved for herself.
5.
And that that doth pursue love’s pelf,
Love's shadow doth pursue,
And love pursuing not love’s self,
Is shade, not substance true.

Poor Success.
A professional friend called on us the
other day, and in answer to the usual in
quiry as to the news, responded, “Bad
news, bad news ” Being questioned as
to the nature of this bad news, he broke
out with: “I tell you what’s the fact,
Me., I went over into county last
week with abo. t four thousand dollars’
worth of claims to try and collect some
money, and the only thing in the world
I got was a jackass, and I had to leave
it over there because I could not raise
ten cents to pay his ferryage over the
river. Ain’t that bad news?” and he
straightened himself as though he would
like to hear someone say it wasn't,while
a glow of sympathy for the isolated con
dition of the jackass overspread his
manly brow.
The last we saw of him “bad news”
was legibly depicted in his countenance

At a recent meeting of the Elbert
County Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion, a resolution was unanimously pass
ed whereby each member of the organi
zation pledged himself to contribute a
book, and to secure the contribution of
another. The members are requested
to hand in their 1 ooks at this office with
as little delay as possible.
A meeting of the association will be
held to-morrow (Thursday) night, at
the Methodist church, when an interest
ing address is expected. Let the at
tendance be large.
The velocipede mania, which proved
such an evanescent excitement some
eight or ten year since, seems tobereviv
ing abroad, and especially in France, with
considerable vigor. Some really aston
ishing performances have reawakened
interest, and amateur races are becom
ing more and more popular. The feats
now most attractive to the ambitious are
the accomplishment of long journeys
and the running of great distances in
one day. The trip from Paris to Vien
na, nearly seven hundred mi’es, has late
ly been made in twelve days on very
bad roads. This involves traveling more
than fifty eight miles every day for two
weeks, Sundays excepted, a rate which
is probably greater than any horse sus
tains. A hundred miles within twenty
four, hours is the most remarkable bicycle
run yet recorded, and this distance is
said to have made in several instances
under favorable circumstance ?. Some
of our young men may be tempted by
these rather astonishinsng performances
to try their muscle on the meandering
mechanism, and a revival of the by gone
fashion is not impossible.
The mate of the ship Caledonia, which
was lying immediatly astern of the
Waco, states that he was on the deck of
the Caledonia, on the lookout when he
heard an explosion and felt a shock.
Looking in the direction of the Waco
he saw she was enveloped in flames, and
about half an hour later heard cries for
assistance and saw five or six persons in
water. A few minutes later he saw two
persons afloat on a fender or piece of
wood. He made preparations for send
ing all the assistance possible by getting
out life lines and life buoys. The sea
was running so high at the time it was
impossible to launch a boat. After
hearing the explosion he watched the
steamer closely, and states that after the
first few minutes the fire lost the force
and character at fi r st noticed. The men
on three vessels Dearest the burning
steamer all agree as to seeing five or six
persons in the water and also hearing
frequent explosions on the Waco, which
were no doubt cases of oil. All officers
and experienced seamen are of the opin
ion that it was impossible for a boat to
have been safely launched from the Waco
on account of the rapid spread of fire
and the terrible sea that was running.
There is nothing later from' the West.
Capt. Sawyer, agent of the line, is out
since yesterday morning with a good
crew. They will remain outside as long
as there is any hope of saving one ef the
passengers or crew of the Waco.

Merit is its Own Success.— Superior
merits and capabilities, cheapness in
price, and ease of operation, have placed
the Wilson Shuttle Sewing Machine far
in advance of all other machines in the
market. The public shows its approval
of all that it is and does by purchasing
the machines as fast as the Company
can possibly manufacture them. There
is no test of a sewing machine ever yet
inaugurated but what has been used .on
the Wilson, and in every case it has
come off ahead of every other machine
in use. No pains or expense is spared
in the material used in it or the work
manship of its construction, to make the
Wilson every way the best,most pleasant,
and most durable sewing machine in exis
tence. Machines will be delivered at any
Railroad Station in this county, free of
transportation charges, if ordered through
the Company’s Branch House at 189 Ca
nal street, New Orleans.
They send an elegant catalogue and
chrorno circular, free on application.

Gen. Gord< n, is reported to have re
ceived the following letter last Satur
day :
Washington, Nov. 11th, 1875.
I am a good Democrat, but poverty
and a starving family have compelled me
to solicit and accept a subordinate situa
tion from the Government, and to keep
my place, I have been obliged to pre
tend to be the strongest of Radicals. I
have just, accidentally, come into pos
session of a secret which it is my duty
to unfold, and I do so fear with and trem
bling. Certain fanatics at the North
have formed themselves into secret soci
eties, and intend to come on here in
great numbers on the Ist of December,
under pretense of celebrating the mar
tyrdom of old John Brown, who was ex
ecuted on the 2d of December, 1859, at
Charleston Virginia. But their real ob
ject is to merder every member of Con
gress who has been elected by the shed
ding cf negro blood, and I think they
include in this number every member
from the South who is a Democrat.
They do not call it i murder, but an
execution for crimes committed where
there is no law. They say they intend
to give the whites of the South a practi
cal illustration of the delights of terror
ism and intimidation. They are crazy
fanatics, led to believe, by their devilish
preachers, that they are acting in the
cause of religion and humanity.
Your own judgment will dictate what
is best to be done.
They further assert, and justify them
selves by the assertion, that not one
white man of any influence in the South
has ever said one word in condemnation
of the numerous negro murders.

A NOTEWORTHY FACT.
Since the w-ar the young men of El
berton have, from time to time, indica
ted their disposition to improve them
selves mentally, morally and socially, by
entering into and organizing societies
or institutions for these respective pur
poses. The first the writer remembers
w-as a debating society. Afterwards an
other debating society. Then the Good
Templar organization was instituted.
Next a reading club. All these were
short-lived, except ‘he Good Templar
order. It still surviving be it said to its
praise.
Recently there has been organized a
Young Men's Christian Association. It
is gratifying to state that it progresses
well, apparently increasing in interest.
The last meeting was numerously at
tended, and all seemed pretty well en
tertained. But to the point. It ip
this: In their endeavors to improve
themselves ; to shun vice and cultivate
vir .uous habits and practices, the young
men of Elberton have not received that
cordial encouragement and co-operation
from the middle aged and older citizens
that they ought reasonably to have ex
pected. Tis true some of our citizens
of mature years have joined each of these
different enterprises ; but their number
has always been comparatively few. It
is to be regretted, and this article is not
written to chide or rebuke, but to pro
voke to good works. Let us attribute
past delinquencies to inconsideration,
and do better in the future, or rather,
let us
‘ Trust no future, howe’er pleasant,
Let the dead past bury its dead ,
Act, act in the living piesent,
Heart within, and God e erhead.”
The next meeting of the Association
will be held at the Methodist church, on
Thursday night, at which time the ltev.
W. P Rivers will deliver an address, or
lecture, (I am not advised which. ) The
public is invited. It may be well to
state in this connection that the associa
tion is the Elbert County Young Men’s
Christian Association. Named so pur
posely. We desire every young man in
the county who feels so disposed to con
nect himself with it. Not only the young
men but others. Tlie membership con
sists of active, associate and honorary
members. Any person under forty
years of age may become an active mem
ber. Persons over forty, associate mem
bers. Honorary members are elected.
The name of the association suggests its
objects. In a word, it comprehends ev
erything that may conduce to the im
provement and enjoyment of the young.
Besides the religious exercises and so
cial advantages, we are endeavoring to
procure a library. Each member has
been called upon to donate a book. At
suitable times we expect to have private
and public debates.
Now, reader, is it not a good thing, at
least in intention 7 Is it not an appeal
to every man’s philanthropy ? Will you
not help us "? Join us, if yon will ; if
nut, give us a book, or anythin# you
may choose that will conduce to the in
terest or advancement of the cause.

Hurrah! for the Military!
Still with remarkable zeal and energy
the members and friends of the Jeff Da
vis Guards are arranging and preparing
for the carnival on tne night of the 10th.
New and attractive features are being
constantly spoken of that will add mate
rially to the enjoyment, entertainment,
jollificationment or any other ment that
can be thought of to those who attend.
Some of the young ladies (precious
gems) are greatly enthused on the sub
ject and declare their intention with
much emphasis to do everything in their
power to make the occasion rich, rare
and racy, alid the elderly ladies are
ready, williug and waiting to do their
utmost to make the festivity a grand
success. The committee met last night
and worked earnestly and long straight
ening up matters, and who can doubt
that with the good taste and expert ha ds
of the elderly ladies, the sound judg
ment of the efficient committee, and the
sunny smiles and facinating exertions
of the young lassies that it will fall short
of a glorious success, and we have not
told a tenth. Oh, pshaw! Tell it to
the marines ! Everybody is expected to
be present.
