BRIDGE BURNED.
On last Saturday morning, about
2 o’clock, the bridge over the Oconee
river, at this place, was destroyed by
tire. With the present indebtedness
of our county the destruction of this
bridge is a serious calamity to our
pooplo. While wo look in vain for
the motive that prompted the fiend*,
ish act, we must believe that tho
burning was tho work of an incen
diary. The bridge destroyed by
Sherman’s army in 1804, was re
built in 1807, at a cost of $14,000,
of which $11,000 remain unpaid.—
It was made a free bridge about 18
months ago. Some necessary re
pairs had just been completed, when
tho great misfortune of its sudden
destruction came upon us, at a time
when the crops are almost ready to
be brought to market.
Onr excellent Ordinary, with his
usual promptness and energy, has
made arrangements for free ferriage,
by tho us-o of such small boats as
can bo secured until a fiat is built.—
The flat contracted for will bo ready
and the arrangements for crossing
all kinds of vehicles be completed
in a few days.
W T e trust the erection of a now
bridge will bo begun at once. Good
and substantial piers remain, and wo
learn that, at the present low prices
* material and labor, the bridge can
j replaced at about $G000. If this
Oo true, we think our county author
ities need not hesitate to contract for
a now biidgo. The insurance money
will pay $4000 of this amount, and
tho leasing of the bridge for two
years or less, the balance.
We hope the grand jury, now in
eeesion, will take the subject into
immediate consideration, and recom-
-tnend the re building of tho bridge.
Fikst Bale or New Cotton in
Mii-liikieville.—Tho first bale of
new cotton brought to this market
this year was raised by Messrs, W.
& J. Caraker, and sold to Messrs. C.
H. Wright & Son on Saturday at 10§.
It is their doublo boll prolific and
opens early. A fow weeks ago their
crop promised an extraordinary
yield, but it unfortunately took the
rust, which, by tho way, is injuring
tho cotton crop seriously. Owing,
however, to the advanced condition
of their crop, (due to tho early va
riety of their seed,) they are certain
of more than an ordinary yield.
Baldwin Superior Court opened

Dead.—Mrs. Annie Harris, relict
of the late Mr. Henry Hams, and
youugest daughter of Judgo Daniel
It. Tucker of Midway, died at tho
residence of her father last Thursday
night. Hor death, though not un
expected, fell with crushing weight
upon her aged and alllictod father,
and a large circle of relatives and
friends, who watched with tender so
licitude her rapidly declining health,
and sought by every means in their
power, to bring back the beauty and
bloom which, a short while ago, pro
mised long life, so sweetly.
Her funeral took place from tho
Presbyterian Church Friday after
noon—Rev. G. T. Gcotchius con
ducting the solemn services.

last Saturday evoning. The fire was

PUBLIC ADDRESS.
Prof. J. G. Orr, State School Com
missioner, will address the citizens
of Baldwin county, on the subject
of Eduoation, at the Court Room,
on Thursday at noon, immediately
upon the adjournment of Court.
The public are earnestly invited to
be present and hear what this dis
tinguished educator has to say upon
a subject in whieh all are, or should
be, interested.
Kexxesaw Mills.—Flour from
these excellent mills was formerly a
favorite brand with our citizens, who
will doubtless be pleased to see that
under the management of Messrs.
Cheek, Whitlock & Co., successors
to Messrs. Cook & Cheek, these pop
ular mills are now turning out 200
barrels of flour daily. Their prices
are as low as can be afforded of
equal grade ; and we trust our mer
chants will soon have a supply of
this good flour in our market. See
advertisement in another column.
County Court.—If lion. F. vC.
Furman is elected to the Senate, of
which there exists scarcely a doubt,
a vacancy will occur in the Judge
shin of the County Court. Then
will be a good time to abolish the
Court. We have other men who
can discharge the duties of Judge
ably and faithfully, but the Court is
an unnecessary judicial accommoda
tion. About all the real good that is
claimed for it is, that it saves the
county jail fees. If the cost of
the court was invested in jail-board
it would make petty thieves sick of
their trade.
Attention Gentlemen!

Messrs. C. S. & G. W. Findlay, of
Macon, Ga., are manufacturing the
jXL Cotton Gin, which they claim
to be ahead of any gin now in use.
They had this gin tested a few days
sifioe, and several gentlemen who
are experienced in cotton buying &c,
certify that from very poor, dirty,
trashy, stained seed cotton, it made
a good style of middling cotton,
gaining > n quality from two to three
grade* over the ordinary gin. Read
their advertisement in this paper
snd give them a call before buying
flsswhere.
Tho Tyler (Texas) Democrat &
Reporter thus speaks of tho death of
our young friend Hal Scott (son of
Mr. W. H. Scott,) who went to Texas
from this place:
“Mr. H. J. Scott, a most worthy
young man, and greatly esteemed by
all who knew him, died at the Fer
guson House, in this city, an Friday
night of last week. He had been a
citizen hero but a year or two, but
in that time had made many warm
friends. The death of such a young
man is a sad bereavment to any
community.”
SCHOFIELD'S IRON WORKS.
We invite the special attention of
our readers to the advertisement in
this paper, of J. S. Schofield & Son,
Proprietors of the above named
well-known Foundry and Iron works,
of Macon, Ga. These gentlemen
have on band, of their own manufac
ture, quite a number of 4-Horse and
G-Horse Power Engines, made for
ginning cotton. These are the only
ginning Engines that are manufac
tured in this State, and tho Proprio-.
tors guarantee them to be equal, if
not superior, to any Northern or
Western made Engine of their class.
The boilers of these Engines are
made of the best wrongbt Iron, which
is far superior to tho cast Iron of
which many of the Northern and
Western boilers are made. And
notwithstanding the superiority of
the Schofield Engine, in this and
other respects, they are selling
equally as low, as the Northern and
Western make of the same class.
They have also on hand a large sup
ply of Schofield’s Patent Wrought
Iron Cotton Presses. These Press
es are of a superior make, as is
proven by their extensive use for
nine years. They have also on hand
of their own make, Fongt’s Patent
Iron Segment Gin Gearing, which
is the best thing of the kind that we
have ever seen, and which is doubt
less unrivalled. They guarantee this
Gin Gearning to do all that they
claim for it. The Proprietors have
also constantly on hand, ordinary
Gin Gearing, Cane Mills, Boilers
and Castings of all kinds, usually
made at first-class Foundrys. Give
this Foundry a call before purebas
ing elsewhere. Patronize home in
dustry. especially when you can
get a better article for the same
money that you would have to pay
abroad, then you know who to go
back on if tho work does not stand.

Ts the Voters of Baldwin Comity.
From considerable experience in
tho past, I am convinced that to

county convention, as in such con

not submit my name for candidacy
in any convention, where the rights
of the country have been uniformly
ignored. Therefore I will not seek,
or accept a nomination by a little

the song “By tho Sad Sonnding

of the offices to which they may be

Forty thousand willing laboring
men are out ol employment in New
York City alone. A majority of them
are mechanics. Eight years of Re
publican misrule, with its grinding
taxation, reckless extravagance in
pnblic expenditures, and its constant
ly recruited army of idle and highly
paid officials, and its multifarious
ways of robbing the National Treas
ury, is in the main responsible for
this state of things. From all over
the country-comes the cry for work
and bread. A change in the Admin
istration is more needed to day and
more to be desired by the masses
than at any time daring the past
century. Let us have it It cannot
come by the election of Hayes, the
offspring of the party which has so
plundered and demoralized the conn-
try. The salvation of the people can
only come about and prosperity be
assured in the election of candidates
who are pledged to reform, and who
will enter office untrammeled and
unpledged to the men who have done
their share in bringing disgrace up<*
on oar national name, and poverty
to the doors of so many thousands
of deserving sonls.

From Messrs. Xcwbnuld Sl Sou, Woodville,
N.C.:
“The Roanoke Cotton Pres, purchased of you
last season has proved entirely satisfactory. We
had used two other Presses before purchasing
yours, but fouud objectionable feature# in tlremi
we therefore threw them aside, intending to con-
tiuuo trying until wc found one to suit ua. We
have examined several of the leading Presses,
bat prefer yours to any we have seen. For
speed and strength wc think, it is without a
rival. We have seen two of tbe leading Preme.
at work and are satisfied we can pack a bale in
half the time it will take to pack with them.
We therefore recommend it to be a first-class
Pres, in overy respect,”
From Mr. A. Vauu, Rich Square, N. C.:
“I have pressed one hundred sixty-eight bale,
in my Roanoke Cotton Press. Some weighing
five hundred and eighty pounds. My press is in
splendid order, and if not consumed by fire, I
think it will last an age.”
Call on mo and examine working
models of both Press and Cleaner.

THE MORNING NEWS,
SAVANNAH, GA.
T he political campaign of ms,
which includes National, State and county
elections, and which will undoubtedly be the
most active and hotly contested ot any since
tbe memorable canvass of 1S60, is now fairly
opened. The National Democratic Party will
this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless
successful struggle for the maintenance and
supremacy of those principles which are vital
to the prosperity of the Republic and essential
to the well-being of tbe people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and F'lorida will elect new,
State goverments. In F'lorida the campaign
promisee to be unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the first time since the
war the people of that Radical ridden State will
elect a Democratic State government. In
those campaigns the people of tbe Sonth nre
deeply interested; and every intelligent citizen,
who nos the welfare of his country and his sec
tion at heart, should acquaint himself with ev
ery detail of the great work of redemption and
reform that is now going on.
To this end ho should subscribe to and assist
iu circulating the Snvaaanh Msniz|
New*, an independent Democratic newspaper,
of pronounced opinions and fearless iu their ex
pression; a paper that is recoguized everywhere
os the best daily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent,
while its news aud local departments are mar
vels of industry and completeness. Its depart-
ment of Georgia and Florida affairs is not con
fined to a mere barren summary of events tran
spiring in those States but is enlivened by com
ment at once apt, timely, and racy.
Tbe ample resources of the establishment
will be devoted to furuUhiug the readers ol
the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of
the world, througli tho press dispatches, special
telegrams, aud by means of special correspon
dence, and through theso agencies the paper
will be tbo earliest chronicler of every note
worthy incident ol the political campaign ot
1876.
