The Talmage school was opened on
Thursday last, the lit inst., with flatter
ing prospects. A large patronage is an
assured certainty. The School opens
with a sufficient patronage from Florida
to show that from that State a hearty
support may be expected. The local
attendance, a d the number of Students
from other localities in our own State,
are all that the most saguine friends of
the school expected. See the new adver
tisement in our columns to day. The
three scholarships in the State University
at Athens to be awarded to the most suc
cessful in study among the students in
Talmage School, form an important fea
ture. Those who gain these prizes will
be entitled to a full course of instruction
in the State University free from tuition
charges. Let our young men hasten to
enter, and strive for this great reward.
Washington Association.
Editors Union tb Recorder :
I attended Washington Association
last Saturday and Sunday, at Sister’s
Church, two miles east of Sandersville,
commencing Thursday morning 24th inst-
Over 1500 persons were present Rev.
Asa Duggan was elected Moderator, and
Rev. B. Roberts, Clerk, and Rev. J. J-
Hyman, assistant clerk. ThiB Associa
tion has over 20 churches and 15 minis
ters. The reports from the different
churches were very encouraging, as near
ly all have had revivals and large addi'>
tions in members since last Association.
$150 was raised to aid Rev. Mr. Rainwa>
ter, a worthy young man, in his course
of studies at Greenville, S. C. I did not
lifinr much of the business, but learn
they had an interesting session, and ad
journed Saturday afternoon to meet near
Jewell’s Mills on Thursday before the
4th Sunday in September, 1875.
The preaching was good. Rev. Mr.
Lane of Washington, Ga., preached Sat
urday, 11 o’clock, from 2nd Corinthians,
5th chap, and part of 19th verse: “God
was in Christ reconciling the world unto
himself..” He said, by the plan of re
demption we are to look to Christ, as He
is our righteousness and our strength.—
We may be despised and rejected by men,
but Christ will take us, and gives the in
vitation to all to come to him to-day.
Rev. O. C. Pope preached at night in
Sandersville, to a crowded house, a very
interesting sermon from Isaiah 6th chap,
and par t of 3d verse : “The whole earth
is full of His (God’s) glory”—pointing
ids.
The objection of the Atlanta Constitu
lion to an extra session of the Legislature
comes rather late to be very affective, but
it is none thedess suggestive. If there
la any paper in the State that has favor
ed the payment of the bonds, that paper
wa g the Constitution. This was before
public opinion had formed itself to any
great extent But even afterwards the
same journal advocated a compromise,
and professed to discover “equity” in all
this knavery. And now it rises and says
the people of Georgia do not desire any
such expensive remedy as an extra ses
sion of the Legislature. This sort of talk
is so snpematurally cool that we shall be
to believe after awhile that Atlanta is
Jy interested in the bogus bonds,
and that the error in the Constitutional
amendment was premeditated.
However, we are not sorry that the
Constitution has taken the position it has,
nor do we regret that Governor Smith

There, now! Having gobbled up half
of the Kimball House, and threatened to
clean the United States out of any amount
in the construction of a customhouse
here, rumor now has it that the Great
Developer is preparing to appear in the
character of a newspaper editor.
A NOTED GEORGIAN,
referring to the manner in which
newspapers are stated now a days, said:
“Some fellow comes along with his
shirt tail full of type and two boxes of
lacking, gets into a room and starts
out with the royal pronoun ‘We !’ ”
It cannot be Baid that the projected
newspaper is to be started exactly in that
style, but it is likely to “take” about as
well as the papers thus started.

The Duty of every Honest Man and
Real Patriot.
Wednesday the 7th of October is the
day fixed by law for electing members to
the Georgia Legislature. To the great
mass of the people, it is of much more
importance, who is elected to our Legis
lature than who we send to Congress.
Every man in Baldwin county is vitally
interested in the'action of our next Legis*-
lature. It is then ,the imperative duty
of every good man in the county, both
white and colored, to turn out and vote
for McKinley. At the urgent solicita
tion of many of the best men in the coun
ty, he has consented to accept the nomi
nation against his pecuniary interest, and
against his wishes, and it is our duty to
give him a unanimous vote. Good leg
islation is as important for the colored
people as for the whites, and if Col. Mc
Kinley will make a good legislator for
the whites he will also make a good one _
for the colored, and we ask our colored ! out many of the beauties of Nature, and
friends to come out manfully and vote for j how thankful we should be to God for
him, and we urge upon every voter in the his kindness to us.
county the duty of coming to the polls
on Wednesday and voting for McKinley,
and if there are any who have no way to
come, let those who have horses and
mules, harness up their wagons and
bring their neighbors to the polls. On
next Wednesdav, let every man do his
duty.
Sinsco Atlantese et Bona ferentes.
I fear the people of Atlanta, whenever
they offer to mend the Constitution for
us. They always have a Grecian Horse
hid out^ Our present Constitution was
Atlanta, and some of its worst
. “...uves were suggested and put into it
- c ^.through the influence of citizens of At-
hu 'ta. \ Constitution that suits the peo-
Gis T 1 nTp r Atlanta, does not suit the balance
of the State. Atlanta has grown fat un-
thu der the present Constitution, whilst the
* balance of the State has been ground in
to dust by heavy taxation. And the
reason is, the taxes all go to Atlanta and
a considerable portion never leave there,
they stick to the waxed fingers of some of
her citizens. Witness the large amounts
taken out of the Treasury by Bullock to
pay Kimball for fixing up the Opera
House, and then the enormous amount
given to pay for the Opera House, the
same building for which they had just be
fore paid for finishing. Also the large
amounts paid for the James House, be
sides several large amounts in the way
of rents, fuel and other trimmings, &c.,
Ac., over and above what Georgia ever
paid before. No wonder some of the cit
izens of Atlanta don’t want the Constitu
tion altered, it suits them just as it is.
But above all things they fear a Convene
tion of the people! Every time a Con
vention of the people to mend the Con
stitution is spoken of, they go into
spasms, and cry out, oh, don’t call a Con
vention, it will cost the poor people so
much. Like Judas of old, not that they
care for the poor people, but because they
carry the bag and want to keep all that
is put into it. But whenever they find
the people determined to have the Con
stitution mended so as to prevent the
payment of eight or nine millions of
fraudulent bonds the people of Atlanta
exclaim, don’t call a Convention, pray
don’t; we will mend the Constitution
for you. Well the Legislature last ses
sion yielded to their entreaties and suffer
ed Atlanta to mend the Constitution for
the State and what did they do? The
Senator of xltlanta provided a patch for
the Constitution which it was said would
forever prevent the holders of the fraud
ulent bonds from thrusting their hands
into the Treasury! Under this delusion
the Legislature adjourned. But after
their adjournment and the fog which had
obscured their vision whilst in Atlanta,
had cleared away it was clearly seen that
the patch which Atlanta had provided
for the Constitution had a large hole in it
through which the bond holders could
thrust their hands to take out about five
million of dollars. And now the people
again all over the State call out for
Constitutional Convention to form a Con
stitution for themselves and not especial
ly for the benefit of the people of Atlan
ta. But the Atlantese again call out, stop,
don’t call a Convention. We can’t trust
the people, they don’t know what is best
for themselves, let us try again. We will
put on another patch, or rather we will
mend Hillyer’s old patch with a piece of
gause, so elastic that it will seem to
stretch over two legislatures. This will be
whipping the Devil round a stump. Eve
ry man that advocates mending the Con
stitution by such a trick need not wonder
if he is suspected of being in the interest
of the bondholders. The fraud is too
thin. It can easily be seen through, by
the bon Iholders and will not prevent
them from thrusting their hands into the
Treasury, to the amount of five million of
dollars. When the Constitution express
ly says its provisions shall only be alters
ed by two successive legislatures, and if a
provision barring the payment of three
million, pass one legislature and is amend
ed by another legislature to barr eight
million, any intelligent man knows that
the amendment for barring the last five
million has not been passed in the way
prescribed by the law. But we believe
the people of Georgia have at last deter
mined to take this matter into own
hands. They have trusted to Atlanta's
patching long enough and they perhaps
remember the teachings of him who spue
as never man spake, “Not to put new
patches on old garments lest the rent be
made worse.”

Sunday morning, 11 o’clock, the Rev.
T. J. Adams preached a Missionary ser
mon to a large audience from Malachi 3d
chapter and part of 8th verse: “Will a
man rob God ?” He said, will a man rob
his father ? God has done more for us
thau our earthly father, and we will rob
him. Have we given him our hearts, our
time and our talents ? He requires a sac-
rafice of us, to give up all. We must
seek first the kingdom of God, and serve
Him in youth and old age. My heart
has been made glad during the last six
weeks to see so many (over one hundred)
come to Him, and go down into the water
in baptism. Have we robbed Him in
tithes ? We are only agents here ; our
property is only loaned us, and we must
give some to the Lord. We only ask for
a small amount from each person. All
should have the elements of life, love, la
bor and liberality to become good mis
sionaries.
Rev. Charles Erwin, Agent of Foreign
Missions, followed in an exhortation, and
said he wanted each one to ask himself,
have I robbed God ? Ye are rewarded if
ye serve God, and there is no community
that serves God that has not been bene
fited. God intercepts those that do not
serve him. We are in God’s hands,
hope all will give liberally. The amount
is to be divided between the Foreign and
Domestic Mission Boards and Rev. Jas.
tioberts, Missionary in this Association.
Near seventy dollars were collected
^ Dr. S. G. Hillyer preached in the after
noon. I did not hear him, but learn it
was a good and impressive sermon.
Ample preparations were made to ac
commodate all with eveiything to satisfy
the appetite on the many tables for din
ner, and to entertain all visitors at night
by the many hospitable families in and
around Sandersville. All enjoyed being
there. Baldwin.
Sept 30, 1874.
Baldwin County, Ga., )
Oct. 2d, 1874. j
Mr. Editor: Permit me to give through
your columns some account of a visit to
day to the Black Spring Public School in
the Eastern portion of our county. The
Teacher is Sirs. M. E. Greene, a lady well
qualified for her task.
After a very interesting drive along
the public road, we reached the School
house about two o’clock, p. m. The
drive itself was one of great interest It
was the first time the writer had passed
over the road since a few days after it had
been trampled by Sherman’s host in their
famous and destructive “march to the sea.”
Its aspect is peaceful now: Unencum
bered by the debris of War, the road
passes between fields and orchards bless
ed with teeming productiveness. One
little blue-eyed flower peeped timidly and
often at us from the road side—a species
of the Lobelia, probably the amwna or
the glandulosa.
We found Mrs. Greene at her post and
busied with a goodly number of bright
faced and intelligent learners. We found
there, also, Mr. John Hammond the ener
getic Commissioner of Public Schools
for this County, and several other visi*
tors. The pupils were called on by their
accomplished teacher to read composi
tions and to rehearse in declamation and
dialogues. Everything passed off hand
somely ; and we have not seen a better
performance in any school, in any town or
city of the land. Mrs. Greene certainly
understands her business well, and does
her duty. Among the visitors was a wid
ower friend, an excellent and intelligent
gentleman, who appeared to be especially
delighted at the proceedings. At the
close of the exercises Col. W. G. McAdoo
of Milledgeville (who was one of the visi
tors) was called on for an address, and
responded in a brief manner, encouraging
the pupils in their worthy pursuit of
learning. Mrs. Greene then adjourned
her school until the coming Monday,
leaving the widower and others lingering
at Black Spring School House. The
day was beautiful, and the whole excur
sion was delightful. On our return city
ward, we met a refractory pony attached
to a buggy, waltzing around in the pub
lic road to the endangering of the lives
of two voung ladies occupying the vehi
cle. With zealous promptitude we rushed
forward and relieved the ladies from dan
ger. And thus ended the notable inch
dents of the day.
Chronicler.
Sails? in Westminster Abbey.
Right this way, Mr. Bailey. Now tell
the people just how a man feels who
visits Westminster Abbey. “You are
rushed about from point to point
from trying to store tout mind with im
pressions you fall to looking out for your
legs. You are up to your neck in ro
mance, over your head in history; and
your whole performance is a reckless
and aimless effort to claw your way out.
The impressions which you receive are
but transitory; they come and go like a
flash, and after yon are bowed out of
doors you feel as if you had taken a pro
minent part in a boiler explosion, and are
just about as clear as to the details. I
passed by scores of kings and queens and
peers entombed, I walked over acres of
others, and wondered how they could be
so careless with their dead. I got up
from the service which I witnessed on
entering the building, and found I had
been sitting on sn entire haOj.”
Constitutional Convention. In no other
way can this bond question be so satis
factorily settled. Moreover, there are a
dozen other important questions that
such a body might discuss and act upon,
and upon which it is absolutely neces
sary that some action should be taken.
Upon the whole, the friend of the
bogus bonds have builded better than
they knew. The next Legislature, pledg
ed as it is to bury the bogus bonds, will
be overwhelmingly in favor of a Constitu
tional Convention.
How much more graceful—how much
more patriotic—it would be for Atlanta
to join with the people of Georgia in
thus burying the most stupendous fraud
of modern times. But if that city is so
foolish as to mistake the temper of those
who will compose the next Legislature
why then she must take the consequen
ces.—Sav News.
The Leonard Scott Publishing Com
pany's reprint of the London Quarterly
Review for July contains as follows:
‘The Isle of Wight.” A condensed
description of this “English Madeira.” Its
physical structure, history, dialects, cus
toms, traditions, and places of interest
are set before the reader in very enter
taining detail.
The second article, on “Primitive Man,”
takes up recent works by Tylor and Lub
bock, discusses the results of their teach
ings as affecting the monistic and dualis-
tic hypotheses, and after a minute compar
is on and examination of their testimony,
decides emphatically against the theory
of Evolution.
“The Countess of Nithsdale.” The
Book of Carlaverock, from which this
sketch is taken, is compiled from the doc
uments and letters of the Maxwell family.
As the work is only printed for private
circulation, the public must depend upon
such reviews as that before us for a
glimpse into this 'collection of family pa
pers. The writer gives us the story of
the Countess of Nithsdale, who, when her
husband was arrested and sentenced to
death for taking an active part in the in
surrection of 1715, succeeded in effecting
his escape “by the rare combination of
high courage and inventive skill, a deter
mined constancy of purpose, and a prompt
versatility of means.” She afterwards
suffered many hardships, and seems to
have been devoted to a very selfish bus
band.
“English Vers de Societe." “The wri
ter of Vers de Societe stands in the same
relation to the audience of the salon as
the ballad-writer to that of the alehouse
and the street. The one circle is more
cultivated than the other, but the poet
must equally reflect its tone, think its
thoughts, and speak its language." The
article mentions many of these poets, and
gives specimens of their verses.
In “John of Barneveld and Sixteenth
Century Diplomacy,” Mr. Motley’s recent
work is very favorably criticised, and pro
nounced a fitting sequel to his former
histories.
“The Labour Movement at Home and
Abroad” treats at length on Trades-Un
ions and Strikes.
“Japan as it Wasand Is.” Without going
deeply into history, this article gives an
account of some of the more important
events that have occurred from time to
time in Japan, and a description of its
present condition.
“Victor Amadeus—a Reversal of His
tory.” We have hitherto been taught
that Victor Amadeus not only regretted
his abdication, but that he made an effort
to regain his throne, which resulted in his
arrest and imprisonment. Documents
have recently come to light, and are quos
ted at length in this article showing that
he never had any such regret, nor made
any such effort.
Ore at Storm at Savannah.
Savannah, September 28.—There was
a heavy Btorm last night and this morn
ing. The river is higher than it has been
for 20 years. The rice plantations in this
vicinity are overflowed and much damage
to crops. Estimated loss in rice $100,-

We find the following in the Atlanta
Constitution :
The Kimball House.—We are informed
that CoL George W. Adair and Mr. H. I.
Kimball have become joint owners of the
Kimball House, and that the latter gen
tleman has returned to Georgia to take
up his residence permanently. The Kim
ball House will be at once refitted and
furnished in a style grander than ever
for the new proprietor, Mr. McGin
ley.
New Orleans, September 30.—Com
promises will be made in every parish in
the State by the Conservatives, similar
to that recently effected in Terre Bone
parish, by dividing offices equally be*
tween the colored Republicans and white
Conservatives.
The present year marks the hundreth
anniversary of the settlement of Kentuc-
§ r . In the spring of 1774 the town of
arrodst

pioneers from Virginia. A year later
and grain was growing among the cane-
brakes.
The Chicago Tribune, commenting
upon the Louisiana infamy, declares that
“had this Kellogg usurpation been attemp
ted in Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan, it
would not have been tolerated one day
by the people of either State; nor could
all the army and navy of the United States
have induced or compelled them to sub
mit to such an atrocious despotism and
fraud.”
The Madison Journal has every reason
to believe that the Griffin and Madison

Somehow or other, the men whohar®
had the amplest experience in qaest of
public office are on record as being most
disgusted with political life. Henry Clay,
in a fit of spleen, toldjhis sons that
had “better be dogs than politicians.
Wm. L. Marcy was quite as emphatic.
And now comes Hon. Albert G. Brown,
of Mississippi,ho laments, in a letter
to a young friend, that he ever made a
political speech or held an office. We
learn that ex-Gov. Brown was for thirty-
three years, previous to 1865, continually
in high official and political station, and
would, therefore, seem to have had as
extensive and favorable an experience as
any of his contemporaries and associates.
In spite of this, he thus writes:
“True, as you say, I held many offices.
Indeed, I may say that I never knew de
feat in any of my aspirations. And it is
just because I had success which people
call wonderful, that I feel competent to
administer a word of ‘caution’ to the
young men of this generation. My young
friend, do not be deceived by the glitter
of office. I am now past my three score
years, and am fast traveling into the ten.
I have held almost every office in the gift
of the people, and I can trnly say, with
the preacher, ‘it is all vanity and vexation
of spirit’
“Looking back over a long, and I hope
not unsuccessful life, I can say, with a
clean conscience, my greatest regret is
that I ever made a political speech or
held an office. There is a fascination
in office which beguiles men, but be assur
ed, my young friend, it is the fascination
of a serpent or to change the figure, it is
the ignis futuus which coaxes you on to
inevitable rain.
“I speak of that which I do know. If
my young friends will be governed by
my advice, I have this to say: after all
my success as a public man, now when

soil, God’s heritage to man, who ever yet
suffered for bread ? Allow me again to
‘caution’ my young friends against the
beguiling influence of office, and to advise
them most earnestly to stick to mother
earth.”
however, that Colonel Adair had nothing
to do with the enterprise, but that it
was Kimball’s private and particular
iiiiiialion of a new and gigantic scheme
of “development.” The paper, it is said,
will be an evening journal, and as Mr.
Kimball is of the Radical j irsuasion we
suppose it will lean that waj. W hat its
name will be has not been ascertained.
“The Atlanta Evening Developer” has
been suggested by some, while others
think that a more appropriate title will
be found in
“THE THIEVES’ OWN.”
Some again hold that “The Daily Bond
Pawner” will do better, while others in
sist a far more felicitious title will be
found in “The Evening Ring.” Time,
however, will tell the name if the embryo
chichen is ever hatched. The subject of
the editorial management is plunged in
the deepest mystery. Some people think
that the Honoroble Governor Samuel
Bard, P. M., will mount the chair and
sling his superb paragraphs around,
while others opine that groat light of
Northern Methodism, Bishop Haven will
be the editor, and will enlighten the
Southern people on the subject of civili
zation, humanity and nigger worship
ping. All argue, however, that the pro
ject ajone is
A GOOD JOKE
and bets have been offered that the pa
per in question never issues the first
number. It could not obtain even a
decent city circulation, and outside of
the city it couldn't circnlate at all. As
for its advertising patronage, that would
be infinitesimally small, as but few of our
merchants would risk a heavy loss of
business by advertising in a paper owned
either in part or in whole by H. I. Kim*
ball. However, if Kimball does throw
away thirty or forty thousand dollars we
have no objections, provided the money
does not come from any new develop
ments.
Meantime, we propose to bet a good
cigar that the rumor which credits Adair
with the enterprise ain’t true. George
Adair is just a trifle too sharp for that
sort of business.—Atlanta News.
Georgia News*
Macon Telegraph has this: C. P. Bond,
of this county, showed on Monday some
fine specimens of Jute produced on his
place about five miles from town. It was
sown last Spring upon red clay upland,
and has attained at this time an average
growth of eight feet in height and very
luxuriant. Jute, we suppose, is identi
cally the same plant as Ramie, or, if not,
is another variety of the same species.
In appearance it resembles the common
willow, and its bark is simply a mass of
fibre, which divested by the process of
rotting of the glutinous sap and outer
cuticle, yield almost any length of a
tough, hempen fibre adapted to cordage
of all sorts—the manufacture of bagging,
matting or of almost anything else de
manding a tough and strong fibrous ma
terial. Unquestionably it can be pro
duced in great abundance in this section
of Georgia, if the conditions of profitable
production can be established.

Fearftal dale in Charleston-
Charleston, September 29.—The most
fearful gale since 1854 began early yes
terday morning, and was a hurricane by
nine o’clock. The tide inundated the river
front, damaging the wharves. The long
stone sea wall known as the Battery was
rained. The public bathing houses were
demolished. The shipping generally es
caped serious damage—Two houses and
one life were lost on Sullivan s Island.
Loss, probably quarter of a million
dollars Fortunately the wind shifted to
to the west, moderating the violence of
the sea.
To the Weak, the Worn and the Weary:
the editor of the Boston Recorder says,
“We can most unhesitatingly recommend

experienced its benefits. It possesses all
the qualities claimed for it by its proprie
