Union and recorder. (Milledgeville, Ga.) 1872-1886, February 19, 1884, Image 1
Warren Leland,
whom everybody knows as the successful
manager of the
Largest Hotel Enterprises
of America, says that while a passenger from
New York on board a ship going around Cape
Horn, in the early days of emigration to Cal
ifornia, he learned that one of the officers of
the vessel had cured himself, (luring the voy
age, of an obstinate disease by the use of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
Since then Sir. Lelaxd has recommended
Ayec’s Sarsaparilla in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect a radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr. -Lelato’s farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
6tate of his blood, an ngly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor
rible itching of the skin, witli burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr. Leunb's direc
tion, was supplied with Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr. Lelaxd has personally used
Ayers Sarsaparilla'
for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and,
after careful observation, declares that, in
his belief, there is no medicine in the world
equal to it for the cure of hirer Disorders,
Gout, the effects of high living, Salt
Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the
various forms of blood diseases.
We have Mr. Lelax'd’s permission to invito
all who may desire further evidence in regard
to the extraordinary curative powers of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla to see him person
ally either at his mammoth Ocean Hotel,
Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel,
Broadway, 27th and 28th Streets, New York.
Mr. Leland’s extensive knowledge of the
good done by this unequalled cradicator of
blood poisons enables him to give inquirers
much valuable information.

Eagle and Phcentx Cotton Mill at

more cotton than any mill in America
It has made large divi lends and the direc

We have heard of no strikes there.
The Georgia penitentiary contains, it is
stated, 1,322 prisoners; more than ever
before. Most of the criminals are young
negroes, and crime among them is on the
increase. When tho negroes were s
there was, perhaps, less crime among
them than among the whites. The prob
lem, on this point, is not difficult of solu
tion, but the ultimate destiny is. The old
slaves controlled their children. As free
men they have not been able to do it.
Death of Dr. Sterling Eve.—Dr. Ster
ling Eve, the eldest son of Dr. .Jas. A. Eve
of Augusta, died at his residence on the
8th instant. He had been in impaired
health for a long time, lie fought in the
ranks of the Oglethorpe Infantry, but was
soon made assistant surgeon and perform
ed very efficient services during the war.
He pursuod his profession as a physician
and was highly respected for liis many
virtues. _
Fitz John Polter.—Every fair-minded
person in the country is gratified at the

South, in what we have ever deemed a
despotic and unholy cause. We have fol
lowed the arguments pro and con, and be
lieve he was true to that cause, and un
justly condemned. Elat justicia, ruat toe-

MR
National Bank of Augusta.—On the
8th instant, Mr. L. McCord was re-elected
President. Mr. George M. Thew retired
from tho Ca»hiership which he held from
the formation of the Bank up to the time
of his withdrawal. A very just compli
ment was paid in a resolution, unanimous
ly adopted by the Stockholders and Direc
tors, to the long and efficient services of
this old officer, excellent citizen and good
man who retires from the cares and re
sponsibilities of the office. Mr. A. C. Bean
was elected to fill his place. A better se
lection could not havo been made as he
possesses every qualification, ripened by
experience as assistant cashier for sever
al years.
The Danville Riots. -As far as the
investigations of the Sherman committee,
at Danville, have been made, the Republi
cans have found notiiiug to sustain them
in an effort to wave the “bloody shirt” in
the Presidential campaign unless they can
prove that about 15 white men defending
themselves against a large mob of negroes
will justify it. Mahone is at the bottom
of this scheme and hoping to be restored
to power in Virginia. This effort will sink
him lower In the estimation of the people
at the North as well as the South. Honest
men in all sections of the country will up
hold the whites for defending themselves.
Many of the colored people in Virginia jus
tify them and know that there was no ef
fort made to prevent them from voting as
they wished. But even if it can be shown
there was some wrong done at Danville,
and one place in Mississippi, that could
not justify a crusade against the South,
when everywhere else in her broad limits
the colored people exercised the right of
suffrage as free and unmolested as the
whites.
Floods in the West.—Worse and
worse; waters getting higher and higher.
We can’t undertake for want or room, to
describe the situation from Pittsburg to
Cairo. Hundreds of houses packed and
piled up together in some places; the wa
ters raging around other houses and even
pouring into the windows of second sto
ries affords an idea of the terrific nature of
the calamity, with loss of life and destruc
tion of property estimated at six millions
of dollars. The waters are not only high
er than ever before but were increasing
according to the latest accounts of the 11th.
Congress has appropriated $300,090 for the
relief of the sufferers amounting to many
thousands of men, women, children, and
this too, after a similar disaster nearly as
bad a year ago. It seems to us it would
be a wise policy to cease building and liv
ing on any lands where the waters have
prevailed higher than a few feet. The
country is large enough to furnish places
for residences for these people without
such exposure to loss of homes, property
and life. The risk is not from rains alone,
but the meillng of vast quantities of Ice
and snow
Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 12,1884.
Rev. R. W. Bigham, Milledgeville,
Ga.—My Dear Bro: I was much sur
prised and delighted this morning on
receipt of your very kind letter,
package of Totton bolls, seeds and
conference minutes, as also the paper,
“Union & Recorder”; svrprised at
the speedy reply to my request and
delighted with the articles accompa
nying tha reply. I read the letter
first, then broge open the package,
and my family scrutinized the bolls
and seeds, and the next thing was to
take my easy chair and the paper and
leave neither until the contents of the
latter had ail been devoured, adver
tisements and all. This was a real
treat. Many of the names almost
forgotten in the lapse of years, seem
ed quite familiar when called to mind.
I could not recall the name of the
place “Midway” until your letter re
freshed my memory. I think this
was where good Bro. Ford and his
excellent wife lived, who I could
mimic to perfection, and who took
my dear wife (now in the happy land)
into their family during her conva
lescence after a severe run of what
Dr. Tomlinson Fort called a severe
case of old-fashion Typhus fever.—
God bless their memory, I presume
they have long since gone to their
reward. Yes, the Snow mentioned
in my letter was indeed good sister
Snow and a pleasant neighbor. I also
had another neighbor south of my
house that we thought much of, Judge
Polhill. The frontispieso in the
minutes, Bishop Pierce, looks very
natural save the white hair and beard.
I used to hear him in Augusta, while
his father sitting in the pulpit, seem
ed to enjoy tho sermon as well as we
common people who sat in the pews.
I have seen him leave the darkeys
dancing happy after preaching to
them in their own church. I used
to look upon Dr. Lovick Pierce as one
of God’s noblemen. I trust his name
sake may follow him as he followed
Christ. One notable thing I observe
in your minutes is, the large per
centage of the claim you pay your
superanuates. We are ashamed of the
Michigan conference in this matter
and have repented and promised re
formation and will make a better
showing at our next conference. We
have live Methodist churches white,
and two colored in our citv. The one
with which I am connected hasamem-
bership of 430. Our pastor receives
$2,400 and parsonage furnished. I
like the ring of Dr. Watson’s address
on temperance. I send you a copy of
our Minutes by this mail.
Fraternally yours,
L. R. Atwater.
Kewanee, Miss., Feb. 13, 1884.
Friend Moore You asked me to
give you some dots of my travel. I
left home on the 5th inst., and reach
ed my daughter’s, in Americus, at 10
p. ji. on the same day. In this live
city 1 met many friends, aud found
that great improvements had been
made in the past three years, many
largo stores and dwellings having
been erected.
Leaving Ameiicus a 1 o’clock, p. m.
I arrived at Montgomery at 8 p. m.,
where I remained' until next morn
ing. I did not see much of that city.
Continuing my journey, I arrived at
Selma at ll :30, and soon found my
friends Maj. Chap Compton and Judge
Ben Craig—the latter taking me to
his home to dine. He was to leave
that afternoon with his afflicted wife,
who goes to Rome, Ga., to be treated
by Dr. Holmes for malarial blood
poison. Maj. Compton captured me
in the p.fternoon and treated me to a
ride over Selma, which is a pretty
city, f imous for artesian wells.—
Among other things, I saw a large
fish pond, covering three acres, sup
plied with water from an artesian
well. An extensive cotton factory is
being enlarged and evidences of pro
gress are seen everywhere. Messrs.
Craig and Compton aie leading citi
zens. ,
Leaving Selma at 4:30 p. m. , I arrived
it mv sister’s, Mrs. Dr. J. P. Welch,
at 11 o’clock. I cannot give an idea
of the joy and love manifested by
my dear sister, whom I had not seen
in'llfteen years, and her husband and
children. All of her children and
grand children, with our cousin J udge
M. H. Whitaker of Meridian and
part of liiS family, were present at
dinner on Sunday. Among so many
relatives, about 25 in number, I had
much talking to do.
I will make a visit to Meridian, 20
miles, soon and will let you know
what I see there.
I found all oats killed by the cold
spell in January, and some have been
sown over. The Alabama farmers
are ahead of Georgia in preparing
for a crop. Yours, &c.,

The delegates to the Agricultural So
ciety Convention assembled in Savannah
on the 12th inst. It was largely attended,
and its proceedings were unusually inter
esting. Fine tributes were paid to the late
J udge Parish Furman.
Hon. N. E. Harris of Macon made the
great address on “Technical Education.*
A correspondent of tho Telegraph <fc Mes
senger thus alludes to it:
The event of the day was Mr. N. E. Har
ris’s address on “Technical Education.”
1 hough delivered at the heel of the ses
sion, when all fatigued, it was listened to
with greater interest and attention than
anything else. Several passages were
greeted with rounds of applause, particu
larly a tribute to the women of the South.
Col, Livingston, of Newton, and Col.
Felton, of Marshallville, pronounced the
soeech the finest piece of rhetoric ever de
livered before the - societj’. Tho subject
discussed was illustrated in many ways.
In concluding, lie appealed to the people
to establish a great central technological
college, where our young men can acquire
a calling that they can follow in any com
munity with the certainty of success in
any contingency. Not lawyers, doctors,
preachers, but learned civil and mechani
cal engineers, Machinists, superintendents
of factories, builders of railroads, assayers
of metals, geologists, miners, practical
builders, scientific discoverers—men ot
resource, practical knowledge aud me
chanical ingenuity; men fitted to lead in
tbegrand march of human thought and to
conquer dominion over nature and space;
men to multiply the means of enjoyment
comniensuate with the demands of au en
lightened and polished race. He received
a i ising vote of thanks.

HON. NA.J. HAMMOXI).
Messrs. Editors;—Every citizen of
Georgia is interested iu the seieetion of
our representatives in Congress, aud has
the right to use all proper means to have
eaeii District in the State represented by
tho man best qualified for the position.
In this connection, 1 would lay down tho
proposition that no.man has any claim up
on an office except the claim that ho can
best perform Us duties. Common sense
teaches us that the office* of the country
should oe filled on the same principles that
governs business men in selecting their
employees. The planter, when engaging*
a manager for his plantation, selects one
who has experience and ail the other quali
ties to make him successful in making good
crops and promoting his planting interests.
Bo wiLii ttie merchant in employing a clerk
and so it is In ali the varied relations of
life. And when a man of good judgment
finds that he has succeeded in getting an
agent or servant who is competent and
faithful, lie does not discharge him and
employ another through some fanciful no
tion that there should be “rotation in
office” or that this or that person is enti
tled to share in the emoluments of the po
sition. That is not the way in which suc
cessful men manage tiieir business.
I have been led to the consideration of
the above general principles by observing
the effort low being actively made to re
tire Hon. Nat. J. Hammond from his posi
tion as the Representative of the Atlanta
District, in favor ot some one or other of
perhaps a half dozen otliei^ aspirants for
the place. It is not my purpose to say one
word in disparagement of either of the
gentlemen, whose names havo been men
tioned In that connexion. Indeed it would
greatly pieaae the writer if he could see at
least one of them—the honorable son of an
nonoied father—placed in some high posi
tion, where his many good qualities of
head and heart could be used for the public
good. But every principle ot sound poll
cy, it seems to your correspondent, call*
for the retention of Mr. Hammond. He
surely is not the inferior of any one of his
opponents, in qualifications for the posi
tion, and he has besides the great advan
tage of two years experience in Congress,
au extended acquaintanceship and an ex
alted character which he has won, as a
member of the Judiciary committee, in
competition with some of the best legal
talent in the Union; a sound lawyer, an ac
complished speaker, a dignified gentle
man. and an experienced legislaio , pri
sons capable of forming a just jadgment
would at once say that he would be a far
more valuable representative than one
with oven superior talents, if such an one
could be found among his opponents.
The Bouth is tho minority section of the
union audit is only by keeping her most
efficient public men in Congress that she
can hope to contend successfully with the
dead weight of a heavy numerical and pre
judiced sectional majority. A presidential
campaign is before us involving great
questions, the decision of which will prob
ably give shape to our governmental pol
icy for many years to come. We cannot
afford to make mistakes now in selectyig
men to fill important public offices, and
as regards the one now under discussion,
the people of the wnole state are deeply
interested, outside of the Atlanta District
as well as within it. So far as the writer
can judge from his intercourse with the
people, and otherwise he is convinced that
there will be a feeling of relief and gratifi
cation throughout the state should ttie
constituents of Mr. Hammond make him
his own successor in a position which he
has filled with so much honor to himself

Co
A SUGGESTION.
In the early part of 1878 the agitation of
the industrial art education, by State aid,
was inaugurated here. After months,
ears indeed, it worked Its way gradually
into popular favor, until now, under the
champion ship of Harris, or Bibb, Wilson,
of Sumter, and others.it looks to early
ucccss. That such an Institution, prop
erly endowed and established, will yield to
the State unspeakably larger dividends,
than any investment 14 can make, and do
more to rehabilitate her wealth from the
destructions and demoralizations of the
!tr, arguments multiplied irrefutable
have ali eady shown. That, In addition to
its general value, common to the State, it
will be ot special local advantage to the
community, when it shall bo erected, is
eadily admitted. We, of Baldwin, want
it in Milledgeville, and have many cogent
arguments to urge In fiver of its location
here. Will we got it? That probably de
pends upon our own wisdom or folly. We
ought to havo taken and held the special
championship of the project, from begin
ning to the end. As a community we have
done simply nothing to advance the cause.
What can we do to secure it? Many things
are to be done. One, of cardinal import
ance is to have a fit representative in the
Legislature. Prohibition, fence-law, and
all other Issues should be put aside, that
perfect unity be secured on thie one point.
Let selfish ambition be spurned out of the
way. Let u» choose our man for this sole
purpose, and back him up with our united
power. Else we might as well give up.
The man that can and will—who has abili
ty and fidelity for this one purpose. He
must have 6uch devotion to the interest
committed, that he will not neglect it in
dissipation or barter it for selfish gain. He
must have capacity to urge the argument
and combat those of the adversary. He
must be skilled to engineer and indefatiga
ble in his vigilance. He should have those
social aptitudes that readily conciliate the
confidence, and Ingratiate one Into the
good will of associates. The elements of
influence are the agents of success. As
possessing all these in large measure, I
suggest Adolph Joseph. Enterprise, en

European Rulers.—Nearly all of them
have a hard time. The Czar of Russia is
almost a prisoner in his palace. The Em
peror and Empress of Austria, the Crown
Prince, Eudolph, the Crown Princess,
Stephanie, Baron Rothschild, a number of
Editors, numbers of police, ministers,
bankers, deputies, many liberals and m- r-
chants, have been sentenced to death, by
the anarchists. Most of them are guard
ed day and night. The flesh or most of
thorn, crawls witli dread of the terrible
dynamite. What is power and a throne
worth to a man who is in constant parox
ysms or fear. All this is the result of bad
government, despotic heartlessness, and
royal robbery. Good government, justice
and liberal lights, scrupulously sustained,
is ths only remedy.
The Floods.—Iu some places, from re
ports on the 12th, the waters are still ris
ing. Many houses have been washed
away. Numbers of people are in houses,
who cannot be relieved and will be lost if
the houses give way. One woman in a
house that was moving in the water refus
ed to bo taken out, saying, she had 4 chil
dren in it, who were dead. Motherly love
and despair could not be more harrowingly
depicted.

oroaches upon the lap of spring.

Stevens’ Pottery,-Feb. ictli, 1884.
Messrs Editors:—It was my good
fortune, a few days since, to spend a night
with Mr. W. C. Stevens, of Stevens’ Bro. .t
Co., and right royally was I entertained
by him and his estimable wife, in as com
fortable andas linoly Iumr-h.jU country
residence as is to be found in Middle Geor
gia. It has been but nine months since
the Pottery was a mass of smoking ruius.
Now, under the magic wand of pluck and
energy, the works are in running order,
tb* waste places are built up, and thrift,
prosperity and success give evidence that
the example of their good old father, Hen
ry Stevens, now dead, (peace to his ashes)
is producing au aftermath of permanent
good to this part of our country. I saw
cars laden with tile and lire brick, drain
pipe and lumber for Milledgeville, Macon,
Eatonton, Savannah, and other points, and
piles upon piles of these same ready await
ing orders, and the most approved ma
chinery grinding out and moulding addi
tions to the supply now on hand. Billy
Parks, the youngest of three brothers,
gentlemanly, kind and sociable in the high
est degree, he has a keen eye to business,
and With his brothers-in-law, Glenn and
Bone, is refitting the old homestead with
substantial plank fences and otherwise im
proving their patrimony.
This portion of our county though in the
“piny woods” region, is fast loomlug up
in Importance. They make their own “hog
and hominy" and “lasses” too. The genial
Jim Wilkinson lives near the Pottery. He
always has corn, meat, lard, cuba cane
syrup, butter and eggs. All home raised,
for sale. Never buys anything on credit,
and is always ready to give a hearty wel
come and plenty of good cheer to his
friends. Jordan Brown, the Iveys, Ether-
edges, Soopers, Fenn, Wests, Rices, Ac.,
also live In the neighborhood, and are
good citizens, model farmers and faithful
Irlend6.

as a slight occasional application keeps the
