A YOUNT LADY COMMITS SUICIDE.
A dispatch from Columbus, Ga, June
12tli, says:
Miss Lily Harrison, daughter of Rev.
Dr. W. P. Harrison, the eminent
Methodist minister of Atlanta, jumped
into the river rapids here to-day, and
was drowned. It was a deliberate and
premeditated act, and was witnessed
by persons who were on and near tho
river. Her body did not rise, and has
not yet been recovered. Ho cause is
known, but depression of spirits had
been observed. Tho affair has created
much regret, and aroused deep sym
pathy. She left a carriage which stop
ped near the river, went quickly to the
stream, ran out upon a rock and jumped
out into a current in ‘which the best
swimmer could hardly have saved him
self. Her age was 15 years, and she was
a bright and interesting young lady.
From crop reports from Northern Mis
sissippi, Northern Arkansas and West
Tennessee, it appears that the cotton
crop in those sections has decreased four
teen per'ccnt. as compard with last year.
The weather generally has been loss
favorable, and besides planters have suf
feredmuch from overflows. A noticeable
fact is that while the number of laborers
has decreased ten per cent, the morals of
those now at work is considerably .im
proved. There is a gratifying increase
in the amount of corn planted, and the
general condition of the crops is good.
The wheat crop has suffered considerably
from rust. Hogs aro reported a3 nearly
doubled in number and in good condi
tion, very few signs of cholera being
noticed.
CENTENNIAL FLOOD!
SIOO,OOO Swept .Away!
IMMENSE LOSS IN CORN AND COTTON!
TSie o>at Crop Almost Itninrd !
WES FI AT EIADL.Y DAMAGED !
Mills, Mill Dams and Bridges Included in
the Wreck!
Since the year 1852, Elbert county
has not been visited by such a flood as
was witnessed last week. The rain com
menced on Sunday, the 11th, and con
tinued till Saturday, the 17th, increasing
daily until it closed Saturday with a
“trash mover,” as a friend of ours terms
it, the water reaching within two feet,
in the Savannah, of tho heighth of the
great August freshet of 1852.
The amount of damage done is almost
incalculable iu debars and cents—an es
timate of SIOO,OOO being placed upon
damaged crops alone by some of our
most prudent citizens. The oats that
had been cut and in the field, were al
most completely ruined, and those not
yet cut so badly beaten and thrown
down as to make available not more
than half the crop. The wheat standing
in the field is very seriously injured, the
larger portion having sprouted, and the
straw of tho same so rotted as to render
it almost worthless Corn on bottom
lands was swept away by hundreds of
acres, and the lands so washed in many
places as to require years to recover its
fertility. The loss in cotton is compar
atively small, yet large enough to almost
ruin those farmers who had put their
bottoms in the staple. Almost destitute
of corn, the farmers of the county have
nothing to make a crop with since the
loss of their oats, but are still more
hopeful than tho most imaginative woo’d
think. They have determined to rc plant
the washed land in corn, and with favor
able seasons they will make corn. The
loss of cotton is regarded philosophic
ally by planters mostly, as they think a
replanting of corn will in part repay the
loss—and they cannot eat cotton any
way.
In mills, mill-dams, and bridges the
loss has also been most extensive, but
we have heard from so few places
at a distance as to be unable to give
precise detail of losses. Mr. A. W.
Vaughn, in the Antioch settlement, had
mill and all its contents swept away
in the torrent, and that, too, just
after expensive repairs. Everything
belonging to the mi l, including a
full set of tools, was a total loss.
Tho darn at Judge Alfred Oliver’s mill,
on Dove creek, was washed away, but
leaving the mill unhurt. This gentle
man, with his usual vigor, went to work
Saturday to repair the damages. The
bridge, just above the mill, which has
cost the county over a thousand dollars
within tho last three years, was badly
damaged by the sand being washed from
under the middle pillars, and the pillars
giving way. The bridge cannot be used.
The fish dams constructed by Dr. A. C.
Mathews on tbe “Boyd Arnold” place
were badly injured, the two upper dams
being washed away. On the Beaverdam
we hear of the Van Duzer bridge, as
some term it, but formerly known as the
Fortson bridge, being damaged on the
Elberton end, the timbers and plank be
ing swept off by the resistless current.
Me do not think the injury here was
serious, as the stone pillars arc unhurt,
and the timbers can be replaced at small
cost. Further down, the bridge at En
reka mills has also suffered, bu! to what
extent we are unable with certainty to
state, as the water had not sufficiently
subsided when we last heard from there
to form a correct estimate. The mill
and dam are nnjnjured. The race at
Dr. Henry’s mill was carried off. but no
other damage done f lint we have heard of.
The canal recently constructed by
Hon. W. H. Mattox was somewhat in
jured, but we are glad to learn the. dam
age was comparative -slight. It was at
one time reported in Elberton that the
canal had been sweept away and the mill
entirely demo’.i died.
Many gins in various parts of the
county were more or less injured.
This is conceded to be the greatest
flood since 1852, and will be known ns
the Centennial flood, and it is to be
hoped the county will not bo similarly
visited for another century.

Male Academy Commencement.
As before announced the commence

School will be opened by a sermon by
Dr. Boring on Sunday, 25th hast. The
examination of classes will occupy Mon
day, with an exhibition at night. O ;g

literary address by Rev. W. F. Lewis.
From the well-known ability of Dr.
Boring the sermon will be an able one
aDd will doubtless attract many visitors
to Elberton next Sunday. The services
will be held in the Baptist church.
Rev. W. F. Lewis, who delivers the
address, is but little known save to a
few of our citizens ; but he has the repu

in selecting him for tho orator tho trus

018 WASHINGTON LETTER.
PROM OT7R REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, D. C., Juno 13, 1870.
What I have said in former letters, I now re
peat, that is, that there are few cities, .perhaps
none, of the size of this in which an iacrease or
dimunition of its population is so readily per
ceptible as it is here. What with the Centen
nial on one hand and the Cincinnati Convention
on the ether, we may be truly said to be be
tween two seas (C’s) and our unusually well
filled streets present but a slim appearance.
On Sunday much excitement xvas occasioned by
the sudden illness of Mr. Blaine, who ha*l a vio
lent attack of vertigo or appoplexy, while at
tending divine services at the Congregational
church. It was a very warm morning, and Sir
Blaine with his wife and daughter had walked to
church, which is some distance from bis resi
dence, and bad just entered the vestibule when
he became very sick aud seated himself upon
the gallery stops. Several physicians who were
in the church, Among them Surgeon-General
Barnes, were immediately in attendance and lie
was at once conveyed to his residence. This
morning be is said to be rapidly recovering and
is nearly convalescent.
Speaker Kerr’s health is still in a wretched
condition, and ho has obtained a further leave
of absence for tan days
It is questionable whether there will boa
quorum in either House of Congress to-dny,
some of the members of both branches having
gone to the Centennial and many more to Cin
cinnati. Much excitement just now naturally
prevails in that city. Mr. Blaine's friends here
seem confident of hfs nomination, saying that
he will go into the Convention. with at least
three hundred and that on the second ballot he
will battle man. But advices per telegraph of
the 10th inst. from Cincinnati are by no means
so flattering. Many politicians there say, that
those letters of his as published are fatal to his
interest, and after securing a handsome vote on
the first ballot his support will be divided among
the other candidates. Should that be even so,
he will still have a controlling influence, ami
will of course use it to kill the lings that got
into his wheat a.,d so effectually ruined his crop.
Some of his friends claim that because the
Democrats believe him to be the most danger
ous man to their party, they have subjected him
to the ordeal through which he is now passing.
In all fairness it is to be hoped that the same
Democratic agency or influence did not cause
the sad personal affliction he is still suf
fering. Mr. Blaine himself is too astute
a politician, and too shtewd a man, not
to have seen from the beginning that all
of the trouble to which he has been subject
ed bad its origin iu his own political household,
and that no Democrat had any agency in its
conception or prosecution, further than what
was demanded as members of the Investigating
committee. But should Mr, lllaine be defeated
in bis aspirations, he is in the best possible
position to strike a blow that will t.-ll with kill
ing effect upon those of his own party who have
injured him and at the same time sorely wound
the Democracy. llis course chould bo to defeat
Morton, Conkling, and the rest of his prominent
and. unscrupulous competitors, and by using his
influence for such a man as Taft, givo tho
Democracy a much warmer contest than they
could possibly have with either of the others.
By this course lie would be sorving his own
purposes and at the same tints benefitting his
party.
It is ridiculous to observe the straits to winch
the Rads are driven in their frantic attempts to
effect if possible the multitudinous develop
ments of fraud and corruption among its olli
cials since the Democratic majority got in po3-
jession of the House. The weak and malicious
attempt upon the integrity of Mr. Kerr now so
effectually dispoied of, is followed by one just
ns vain, and even more foolish. Wells the U. S.
Attorney for this District, who has about as
much sens-o as a blind dog in a forty acre stub,
ble lieid, at the bidding of his master,'Jack
Chandler, has brought suit against Mr. •Thomp
son, Secretary of the Interior under Buchanan,
iu relations to the Indian bonds which were
stolen, and which a committee of the House hon
orably acquitted Mr. Thompson of having any
thing to do with sixteen years since. Alas!
poor Wells. Dkm.
Modern Woman.— lt is a sad commentary
upon our boasted civilization that the women of
onr times have degenerated in health and phy
sique until they are literally a race ?f invalids
—pale, nervous,feeble and back-achy, with only
here and there a few noble exceptions in the
persons of the robust, buxom ladies character
stic of the sex in days gone by. By a very
arge experience, covering a period of years, and
embracing the treatment of many thousands of
cases of those ailments peculiar to Women, Dr.
l’icrce, of the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N.
Y., has perfected, by the combination of certain
vegetable extracts, a natural specific, which lie
does not extol as a cure-all, but ono which Ad
mirably fulfills a singleness of purpose, being a
most positive and reliable remedy for those
weaknesses and complaints that afflict the wo
men of the present day. TIPs natural specific
compound is called Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription. The following are among the dis
eases in which this Wonderful medicine lias
worked cures as if by magic and with a certain
ty never before attained by any medicines :
Weak back, nervous and general debility, full
ing aud other displacements of internal organs,
resulting from debility aud lack of strength in
natural supports, internal fever, congestion, in
fiammation and ulceration and very many other
chronic diseases incident to women, not proper
to mention here, in which, as well as in the
cases that have been enumerated, the Favorite
Prescription effects cures—the marvel of the
world. It will not do harm in any state or con
dition of the system, and by adopting its use
the invalid lady may ovoid that severest of or
deals—the consulting of a family physician.
Favorite Prescription is sold by dealers in med
icines generally. ...

Mr. Editor. — Dear Sir: We the un
dersigned do most respectfully ask your
indulgence that a reply be made to the
false charges put before tbe public In
your last issue, stating that there was a
political club organized and carried on
at Mr. Wyatt Geter’s shop. This is
without the least foundation of truth.
We can prove lire carrier or carriers of
these reports are atrocious liars. The
colored man that is supposed to be the
ono that stirred up this suspicion, this
community would do well to know his
general character and from whence he
came. This Society is known by the
namo of the Young Men’s and Ladies’
Social Reading and Debating Club. The
sole object of this association was and is
to raise the moral and intellectual stand
ard of our young people. We trust our
white friends will encourage anything
carried on by tbe colored people that
leads to true manhood, upon which tho
peace and prosperity of the country de
pends. The interest of both white and
black in this respect arc so indissolubly
connected that if one suffers tho other
will unavoidably suffer likewise. If tho
protection of moral society is indispen
sable for the good of our race, it is for
all; therefore we believe that moral socie
ty should bo protected among our people
whether organic or inorganic. If there
was more morality taught and practie
ed among our people instead of eo
much enthusiastic religion it would bo
far better for the country. Will not our
white friends encourage this ? We
w’ould glad to have you come out to our
society and sec and hear for yourselves.
