Mischievous Malaria. -?*-
To say that malaria is mischievous
is to put it very mildly. It is all that
and more It is cunning, deceitful,
treacherous, sly, and underhanded.
It docs its work in the dark, and in
such a sly way that much of the mis
chief is done before it is discovered.
It saps the foundations of a healthy
system. It robs the blood of its vital
ity, demoralizes the liver, confounds
the stomach, and makes the victim
wish he were in his grave. It is sad
to see people sit down in their misery,
content to be the victims of mischiev
ous malaria, and thinking that noth
ing can be done for them. The power
of Brown’s Iron Bitters over the
mischiefs of malaria has been so am
ply proved *that there is no reason
why anybody who can procure a
bottle of this Prince of Tonics shall
suffer. Great is the power of malaria,
and great are its disastrous effects.
But greater far is the beneficent in
fluence of Brown’s Iron Bitters.
The preparation of iron in this favor
ite family remedy can be taken
without ruining the teeth or produc
ing constipation and headache. 2

Gov. McDaniel has appointed, in our
judgment, an excellent Board of Commis
sioners to superintend the building of a

serve, the State can confidently trust the
great interest to their keeping, satisfied
that nacorrupt practices will be permitted
to exist with their cognizance and consent.

cants.

The bill to provide for a more honest re

after getting in debt to their employers,
will encourage negroes to be more unfaith

ture has utterly failed to do its duty In
the above instances, and has furthermore
failed to give the State a stock and dog

The Hawkinsville Dispatch is gratified
that the legislature refused to pass a bill
to appoint Tax Assessors In each county.
It thinks the scheme would be too expen
sive, and that the grand juries of tlie sev
eral counties, whose duty it is, should take
cognizance of the matter. But will the
grand juries do it? Have they done It In
the past? The expense Incurred by a spe
cial beard of Tax Assessors, in our opinion,
would be but a drop in the backet as com
pared with the increase in values to the
State had the bill been passed which the
Dispatch rejoices was defeated.

says it takes a third more" time to burn

a fire, opens his million pores, and every

is soon ashes and nothing else, while the
poor thin fellow sizzles and smokes by
turns, only now and then having a blaze
when his nose burns—which, besides its
prominence, is too often the centre of all
his spirits good and bad. Indifferent and
intolerable, oftentimes. Yes, the poor thin
fellow has just enough grease iu him to
keep the fire a-going, even internally, and
the end is all iu smoko with hardly enough
ashes realized to turn over to his anxious
relatives and solicitous triends, to say
nothing of tho smutty and uncanny pro

AUGUST CROP REPORT.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, Col. J.
T. Henderson, makes the following report
of the cotton and corn crops for August.
Since his report was made up, tlie disas
trous drouth over the whole State, lias
lessened the cotton and corn prospects
very materially, and makes the falling off
Ip. per centage much greater for the month
of September.
COTTOX.
Tlie prospect has undergone no great
change. Some localities report a vej y de
cided improvement, due to local rains,
while in others the crop has suffered a still
further falling off in the prospect.
In North Georgia no change is reported ;
the prospect compared to an average crop,
being stiff 71. as reported for August 1st.
In Middle Georgia tlie per centage is 66
against 73, in last report—a loss of 6. In
Southwest Georgia the falling off is very
remarkable 63 now against 80 a month
ago, a reduction of 17 per cent, in one
mouth.
This signal result is largely due to the
prevalence of the caterpillar, which will
probably destroy the late crop in tlie great
er part of that section.
East Georgia shows a reduction of 5 per
cent, since the August repoit, being 63
against 68. Southeast Georgia shows a
slight improvement, the reports indicating
a percentage or 88, a gain of 1 per cent.
This section, however produces but little
cotton. In the State at large the cotton
prospect has fallen off 5 per cent. (luring
the month under review, 70 being the gen
eral average at this date against 19 last
month.
Several of the correspondents express
the fear that they have, even at the low
figures given, overestimated the prospect.
It may he stated with strong confidence,
that tlie cotton crop of Georgia cannot, In
any event, exceed seventy-live per cent, of
an average crop, with the probabilities
very strongly in favor of a lower figure.
■\Ve have yet to pass the seasou or the
usual equinoctial storm, and should it oc
cur with violence, tlie damage from this
cause would overbalance any advantage
that can proceed from a favorable faff in
other respects.
CORN.
There has been a slight improvement In
t he general prospect of the corn crop. This
is due to a considerable improvement in
the prospect iu East Georgia as compared
with the July report, amounting to 8 de
grees, or 75 against 67.
It is remarkable that three sections—
Noilli, Middle and Southwest Georgia—
respectively report tlie same condition as
was shown a month ago, viz.: 68, 67 and
82. There have been ciianges in the sev
eral counties composing these sections, es
pecially iu North Georgia, but they have
exactly counterbalanced each other. South
east Georgia faffs off one degree and the
State, m genera), shows a percentage of
76 against 74.
Ordinarily this showing would indicate
a dearth of corn in Georgia next spring
and summer, but, fortunately there is
more or less “old corn” on liaud in every
section of tho State, thanks to the good
crop of 1882, but especially to the abun
dant oat harvest which was secured tn
many sections.
If equally distributed, there is probably
a sufficiency of corn in the barns and
shortly to he gathered, to supply the wants
of tho farmers until next summer. It
should be remarked that the farmers have
given unusual attention to their hogs dur
ing the past winter and spring, being en
abled thereto by the plenty of grain on
hand, and t here will be more home-raised
bacon cured tlie coming winter than for
several years past.
have no objection to the branch colleges,
“as long as they are supported by the uni
versity.” It would seem to be nearer the
truth to say that tlie people should favor
the branch colleges because of the interest
they have in 1 he university; since it is by
means of the branch colleges that a much
larger number of tlie people arc enabled to
avail themselves of the benefits of the uni
versity.
If it t>e true that “most of the people
have little interest in the university,” it
must be because, heretofore, comparative
ly few of tho people have been able to avail
themselves of its education advantages.
This is largely remedied by the establish
ment of the branch colleges, which put
the provision the state makes for the high
er education or her sons within tho reach
of many who have neither the time nor
the money for a course at Athens.
Besides, the establishment of branch
colleges fumisned the only feasible plan
by which the state could do anything for
the higher education of her daughters. If
it is right for the state to furnish free ed
ucation for young men at Athens it cannot
be against the people’s interest to have
some similar provision made for young
ladies. And tins is what is done at Mil-
ledgevtlle and Dahlonega, thus largely
enhancing their value to tho people.
From these considerations it follows that
your protest against the passage of the
biff referred to is not pertinent, unless you
are opposed to the university system al
together, and would have the state to with
draw its support from the university it-
seff. But you say that the branch colleges
are not “feeders” to the university, aud
therefore do not deserve sup[x>rt. Iu this
view also there is a misconception of the
place the branch colleges occupy in the
educational work of the state. Their main
business is to supplement the work of the
university—to help those who cannot go
to the university proper, and thereby pro
mote the greatest good of the largest num
ber. It is true occasions will occur lor
encouraging students to go higher in their
course of education, when they have com
pleted the curriculuqi ol the branch col
leges; and some will thereby be induced to
take a university course who otherwise
would never do so. Yet where the state
has need of one university graduate, it
needs fifty young men aud women edu
cated as it can be done at the branch col
leges. In other words, the branch col
leges are as certainly working for the
state and in the interest of the people as
the university itself, and working on a
wider scale.
Granting all this, however, one of your
objections—and that too the main one, as
appears from the gist of your article—re
mains unanswered. You say in substance
that for tlie state to maintain these branch
cnlleges at certain points, is practical in
justice to hundreds of other towns in the
state. If this is a fair statement of the
case, then the state could never locate any
state institution at any one point without
doing injustice to all" tho balance of the
state; since it must be, ttiat those in imme
diate proximity to such an institution en
joy certain local advantages which are de
nied those farther off. This is true or a
state capitol, a state penitentiary, a state
asylum or any other state Institution. In
deed, the principle would make the location
of a county court house an occasion of just
grievance to every man who did not hap
pen to live in the county town. Further
more, ttiese favored communities pay very
well, for any special local advantages they
enjoj’. The annual appropriation, for in
stance, by the city council of Milledgeville
to tho branch college located there,
amounts to as much, 1 daresay, as the an
nual interest on all that any of tiie hun
dred towns to which you refer have done ,
for education since the war. The one ad
vantage Milledgeville had over other towns I
grew out of the fact that it was once the
capital of tlie state, and fell heir thereby
to theabandoned state buildings when the
capital was moved; but for tlie injustice
which was done to Forsyth and a hundred
other towns when the capital was located
there, the present generation is not respon
sible.
It might be well, indeed, to multiply
these centers of substantial good to the
state; but their number must be to some
extent limited. When all has been done
that can be done, and the most that can
reasonably bo asked is that they be so lo
cated as to make tho geographical circles
described around them as convenient to the
whole people of the state as possible.
But I have occupied too much of your
space already. I make haste to say in con
clusion, that if I did not think you would
be doing your readers a substantial benefit
by publishing this communication, I would
not tax your courtesy by asking you to
publish it. At the same time, I fowl fully
assured of your willingness to let them
hear what may be said on tho other side
of a question which it is your right and du
ty as editor to discuss.

was some disagreement with the bill as It
came from the House and after amending
the biff it was returned to the House. The
Option liquor biff was reconsidered.
The House refused to pass a resolution
fora final adjournment on the 15th iust.
A number of unimportant local bills were
passed; and some lost. The Governor
sent in a message approving a large num
ber of biffs of only local Importance. When
the Legislature adjourns wo will publish
a list of the captions of all the bills and
resolutions which were approved by the
Governor.
The Senate on Thursday passed a num
ber of local bills. The most important
biff before it was the biff to change the
time of holding county elections in this
State;after some discussion the biff was
rejected.
The House receded from its disagree
ment with tho Senate's amendments to
the Capitol bill. The bill Is now in the
hands of the Governor. (The Governor
has the sole control of the appointment of
the five Commissioners who are to take
charge of the work.) 200 copies of tho bill
to create the office of countv administra
tor were ordered printed for the use of the
House. The House spent the day princi
pally in the consideration of the bill to
prescribe tlie manner of applying tho rail
road commissioners schedule of rates to
certain rail-roads. This bill was discussed
to adjournment.
In the Senate on Friday a bill to prevent
the sale of adulterated food,was amend
ed and passed. The Senate passed a
number of local biffs and killed quite a
number.
In the House the only biff of general impor
tance that was considered, was Mr. Wat
son’s biff imposing a dog tax. Mr. Wat
son made nu elaborate and interesting
speech on the subject. Wilson (black.) op

The Senate had a short session on Sat

Putnam's Big Farmer on Furman.
Dr. Cogburn, perhaps the most intelli
gent and prosperous farmer in Putnam
county, in company with Mr. J. M. Broad-
field ami Mr. Wm Armor, visited Judge
Furman’s lamou9 farm a few days ago.
He writes about it in the Messenger of the
8th inst. and wo clip these lines from his
letter; it is good reading:
I tell you, Furman as a farmer, is no
shatn or humbug. His theory and princi
ple are correct. Let the Bourbon croak, but
in my opinion, Furman stands head and
shoulders above them all. Furman lias tho
best 65 acres up land cotton I ever saw in
one body, notwithstanding it is now pas
sing through tho ordeal of a drought, and
was also injured by thelast plowing given
it by the overseer in Mr. Furman s absence.
To satisfy myself and to test his theory, I
planted this year according to his formula,
12 acres in cotton from which 1 confident
ly expect to gather 22 bales. I have one
acre in ribbon cane similarly prepared, and
which is the best for upland I ever saw,
though not so good, perhaps as might be
grown on rich bottom land. I will state
that the 12 acres above alluded to embrace
two patches, one being 5 acres and the oth
er 7. These crops of mine are here to show
for themselves and 1 have already special
ly invited our Club or any member thereof
to come and inspect.
No croaker (for we have among us ag
ricultural croakers and skeptics as well as
political) will believe that lowers made
his big crop on 20 acres last 3’e.ir, nor what
it is reputed has been made by Dickson,
Furman or even John T. Dennis, of our J
own county. I believe it all, because I :
know them to be responsible men and I i
also know from my own experience that |
what they claim is possible. I have forth
ermore visited the homes and farms of all
these gentlemen except Mr. Jowers, and I
intend to soe his place next winter if my
health permits.
We did not have the pleasure of seeing
and talking with Mr. Furman. He was
sick with malarial fever and had been ad
vised by the best physicians not to meet
company, to be quiet. His good wife and
his overseer, Mr. Miller, however, were
very kind aud attentive and gave us all
neccessary Information.

“It is right and proper that such state
ments should be promptly contradicted.
I should like you to say that Judge Hoad

Ohio, and that he will resume his canvass

Telling Conley why he was Removed.
Washington, D. 0„ September 6.—Mr. ,
Conley, late postmaster at Atlanta, Ga.,
wrote a letter to the Postma ter-Gcncral
a few days since, demanding reasons for
hl6 (Conley’s) removal. The Postmaster-
General has written a rather sharp reply.
In which he says that before he removed
Mr. Co nie v he had conclusive evidence
that the latter had not only retained in
nie office but had promoted clerks whom
he knew to be dishonest. He adds that in
view of what recently passed between Mr.
the state.
Dr. Westmoreland was not a candidate
for the position. On the contrary, he es
pecial! v favored the appointment of anoth
er gentleman. His practice simply a-
mdbnts to all that he can possibly do, and
is worth ten times the salary or the posi
tion he takes. That he consents to accept
the place, at this financial sacrifice, must
be taken to mean that he is earnestly in
terested in the matter of the treatment
of the convicts, and believes he can do the
state a service by giving his timo to the
work that belongs to the health officer of
our convict camps.—Constitution.
