HAIE RENEWER
was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, and the first suc
cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
It has had many imitators, but none have so
fully met all the requirements needful for
the proper treatment of the hair and scalp.
Hall's Hair Rexewer has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal
leled success can be attributed to but one
cause: the entire fulfilment of Us promites.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at the receipt of orders from remote coun
tries, where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
The use for a short time of Hall’s Hair
B brewer wonderfully improves the per
sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward a new and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara
tions, but remain a long time, which makes
Its use a matter of economy.

no bitterness. But the fact that thousands
on thousands of men are about to be turn
ed out office, and their plethoric pockets
turned inside out—men who have feasted
and fattened on the Treasury of the Coun
try for more than twenty years—this will
be enough to fill the campaign with the

methods. _

senator brown.
In the affections of the great majority of
Georgians, In the pride of his people, in
the eyes of the Republic, no grander fig
ure looms up on the political horizon than
Senator Joseph E. Brown. If It were not
that Southern statesmanship should await
the chronic sores of a past, now slowly
healing by the great surgeon Time, this
man would rise to the front in National
Councils, and be honored as he deserves.
In the U. S. Senate there is not a man his
equal In all the elements, personal and
public, that go to make up the statesman
and the representative of living issues.
We are not of those who worship a risen
star because It has risen and illuminates
the land. The writer opposed Senator
Brown in his conflict with Jefferson Davis,
and did not hesitate to put his difference
in plain language, but so well has he borne
ills part in the “conflict of poace,” It would
be wrong to him, wrong to his State and
Country, wrong to ourselves, did wo with
hold the truth and the grand results of
this man’s work, for special commenda
tion.
This feeble tribute to the greatest living
statesman In Georgia Is voluntary—un
sought, unbought. That he will be return
ed to the U. 8. Senate, If it be his pleasure,
we haven’t a moment’s doubt.
Burt our Differences.—Some of our
papers say wo must bury our differences
out of sight and move In solid column upon
the enemy. We are willing to do that if
they will act up to their declarations
But those very papers are constantly
fighting the battles of the protectionists.
They mean that the tariff reformers must
remain silent and let them shout for pro
tection as they are doing ail the time.
The disease the plague spot, is the protec
tive tariff. That is what the platform of
the party says, and yet they sarcastically
whisper, yea directly declare, that the re
formers must be silent while they are all
the time cunningly telling the people the
tariff is the great regulator of our affairs
sustaining the laborers and building up
the national prosperity; can’t every body
see through this trickery? The whole
country Is in distress. The factories are
closing, working on short time, reducing
wages, dismissing laborers, and waiting
for better times, waiting to get over the
troubles the tariff has caused, and yet
these protectionists are calling upon the
people to sustain the ver y policy which
has produced them. They have been talking
of liberal opinions, the march of ideas,
progress, and the Lord only knows how
much other foolish 6tuff, until tho country
is nearly ruined, and yet they keep up in
facie theatri, the same high sounding
words, American labor must be protected
by the robbing tariff!
The constitution forbids any tariff but
for revenue, and yet desplto the constitu
tional compact they make a tariff for pro
tection the throne and the altar at which
American freemen shall bend the knee and
worship.
A Fatal Accident to Dr. John B. Car
ter.—About one o’clock on tho morning of
the 12th, Dr. John B. Carter, who was an
noyed by mosquitoes, arose from bed, lit
a lamp and in some way accidentally fell
against the bed and was soon overwhelm
ed with the burning oil. His wife and son
who was soon In the room and while the
Doctor was enveloped in flames threw a
blanket over him and did everything in
their power to extinguish tho flames.
After they were put out he was able to
walk down to the first floor to occupy an
other bed. Several doctors and numerous
friends were soon there, and everything
was done that could be done to relieve his
sufferings but all in vain. His mind was
clear and his fortitude did not forsake
him but he felt conscious there was no
hope for him to survive the dreadful ef
fects of the flames. About four hours aft
er the flames had burned him from head
to Toot, he became faint and rapidly sank
surrounded by his friends and Pastor, Mr.
Adams, of the Presbyterian church.
Mr. Carter was born and raised in Aug
usta where he was universally esteemed
for the purity of his life and his many vir
tues as a good man and useful citizen.
Many outside of tho elty will remember
him as ono of the firm of Barrett So Carter.
At the time of his death he was connected
with the large drug establishment of Mr.
J. H. Alexander where he kept the books
and aided otherwise in the business, being
an expert in all tho branches of the drug
business. He leaves a wife and two chil
dren, a son and a daughter, to mourn hi3
loss, rendered more poignant by the tragic
and painful cause of his death. Sympathy
with the family, and sorrow was universal
in the city.

Mrs. and Mr. Sammie Prosser :
Remembered Friends:—It is useless
for mo to attempt to console you in your
great bereavement, caused by the death
of your dear little Robbie. I little thought
when I left your house with him last
Wednesday, that ere another Wednesday
came he would be laid in his last resting
place, but such is nature, and it seems
hard that Providence has so fixed it. But
we will have to submit to the will of the
Lord, for the good book says, “the Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed
be the name of tho Lord.’’
I believe that little Robert loved mo. and
I know that I thought a great deal of him,
and am so grieved to think he was snatch
ed from us so suddenly. But enough for
fear I will arouse afresh, your grief.
With kindest regards to your mother and
family, I am most earnestly and respect
fully, your true friend,
Lidie Mabry.
Little Robert Prosser died on the 26th

“I never hesitate to recommend your Elec

entire satisfaction and are rapid sellers.”
Electric Bitters are the purest and best

The action of the Farmers Club of
our county in having a day of thanks
giving for the magnificent prospect
of their crops is a new departure, and
will commend itself to all right
thinking persons. A Chaplain is to be
engaged to preach a sermon perti
nent to the occasion, and a din
ner is to be served to which the
whole county will be invited. The
committees, in the various Districts
will call on the people and a generous
response is expected.
True feminine modesty is a difficult

her waist and her sweet breath fan

she doesn’t know him.

of 12,000 an hour. This means that the
entire twelve pages were cut, printed,
folded and delivered at the rate of 12,000

Address Before the Farmers’ Club.
BY L. CARRINGTON.
Saturday, August 9.
Mr. President;—The benefits and ad
vantages of Agricultural Clubs, If I prop
erly understand the wishes of those who
appointed me, is the subject of this short
and hastily written address.
The spirit of blind adherence to, and a
superstitious fear of any change In the
methods of farming, which for ages per
meated, ruled and governed the Agricultu
ral interests of the world, has been com
pelled to yield to the spirit of the age. The
wasting away of a virgin soil which yield
ed a generous return to mere brute force,
has been succeeded by a corresponding de
pression, born of the fear of want and
starvation, to say nothing of the absence
of revenue.
Three quarters of a century’s labor and
toil have been expended in devastating
this fair land and laying bare its carcass
to the drenching floods of winter and the
bleaching suns of summer. The farmer,
all this while, has been the dupe of the
professional man, the monopolist, the
tradesman, and the artisan of every hue
and color.
Tho exigencies of the time have been,
and still are, demanding a remedy. Farm
ers have been compelled, from neoessity,
to band themselves together for mutual
aid, benefit and protection—to make indi
vidual experiences common property. “In
union there is strength," physloal strength
—intellectual strength—practical strength.
One practical advantage to be gained from
these associations, is the cultivation of
fraternal Intercourse. A common desire
for investigation, sociability, and progress
ha.s prompted the organization and main
tenance of Agrleultuml fairs, societies and
clubs. Perhaps I should reverse the or
der and say clubs and societies are the
cause and fairs, exhibitions, and exposi
tions the effect or result.
The fraternity of blood is one of the
strongest ties that binds human hearts,
and human Interests, and whether it be
sundered by treachery or by the assas
sin’s bludgeon, the offender goes forth
branded as was Cain, to be “a fugitive and a
vagabond in the eacth.” “A friend that
sticketh closer than a brother” is one of
the anomalies especially emphasized by
the wise man in the book of Proverbs. “Be
hold how good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity. It is
like the precious ointment upon thekead,
that ran down upon the beard, even Aa
ron’s beard; that went down to .the skirts
of his. garments; as the dew of Herrnon-
and as the dew that descended upon the
mou ntalns of Zion; for there the Lord com
manded the blessing, even life forever
more.” All religious denominations, mor
al and benevolent societies, trades-unions,
cooperative societies for mutual protec
tion, pleasure and benefit, call themselves
brotherhoods—fraternities. And why
should not larmers, whose commissions
date back to the garden of Eden, signed
by God, Himself, in the presence of Adam
and Eve, and transmitted through sweat
and toll as a legacy to their latest poster
ity not unite in clubs? It is not only our
high privilege, but our bounden duty to,
meet as brethren to discuss the best meth
ods of caring for and improving our patri
mony.
When we meet, talking as brother to
brother, we should candidly state our er
rors, short comings, failures, and mis
takes, as well as our successes, and as
brethren we should sympathize with and
advise as to the shunning of the follies
and emulating the successes of each other.
Born to a common heritage, let us by pre
cept and example see to it that the estates
of our fathers shall not be impaired under
our administration, but that they shall be
handed down to our successors, beautified,
adorned, and enlarged. Then will the chil
dren of this brotherhood rise up and call
us blessed and with brave hearts and
6tout arms, go on to other and greater
successes in building up, reclaiming, and
rejuvenating the bald hills, devastated
plifins, and waste places of our Sunny
South.
But little moro remains to be said in il
lustration of my other points mentioned at
the beginning of this desultory composi
tion viz “A common desire for Investiga
tion, sociability and progress,” as whether
by Intention or otherwise, the remarks,
already made, have materially anticipated
these topics, and have left me but little to
say on them. How a plant grows or why
it grows at all has been a mystery that in
vestigators have been trying to discover for
ages and still the question Is not answer
ed, the problem not solved. Nature, in the
bowels the of earth,her great workshop Is as
busy today as she was on the third day of
the Creation, When Omnipotence said :“Let
the earth bring forth grass, the herb yield
ing 6eed after Its kind and the fruit tree
yielding fruit whose seed was in itself aft
er his kind,” and though centuries have
passed since this command was given, it
has never been revoked, and still the won
derful process goes on, and each recurring
season repeats the round. Feeble man
stands amazed and is obliged to admit:
“There's not a tint, that decks the rose,
Or paints the lily fair,
Or streaks the humblest flower that blows,
But God hath placed It there.”
Man hath sought out many inventions.
During his investigations and experiment
on the forces, properties and possibilities
of nature as found in the earth, ;the at
mosphere that surrounds it, and the heav
ens above It, there is ample food for
thought, and subjects for discussion,
which may well engage the attention of
the Agriculturalist and challenge his most
intense investigation.
The sociability of the Agricultural club
should be of the most home like and do
mestic kind, participated in, and rendered
doubly entertaining by the presence and
participation of our wives and daughters.
Nor should this sociability be confined to
the monthly or other periodical meetings
of the club. Farmers, their wives and
daughters should visit each other, partic
ipate in one another’s hospitalities, discuss
agricultural problems, criticise each oth
ers modes and methods, compare results,
and report their conclusions to the club in
session. Periodically they should meet
and display in generous rivalry the suc
cesses of the various seasons and thus
promote that progress, which is the last
item which I propose to discuss to-day.
Many of our best farmers hold aloof from
membership in our club, saying, as I have
heard many of them, that we were poor
farmers, can’t even make a support by
farming for ourselves and families. True,
we don’t do it, we are exactly in this fix,
we don’t know how to do it, but we ars
not too old to learn or too slothfc, to study.
Come up, ey.best farmers, join our club,
give us the benefit of your wisdom and ex
perience—help us to make a wise and safe
progress, you shall have all the honor of
our redemption and we will bo proud of
association with you.
The late R. H. Ramsay, with Col. Mc
Kinley, also dead, and 8. E. Whitaker,
with a few others, struggled for years to
keep alive our club, and to-day It is grow
ing In favor and promises grand results.
Upon whom shall fall the mantle of the
lamented Furman, a member of our club,
a daring man of progress! Furman pro
posed to make three bales of cotton on
one acre of Scottsboro’ land. Will his
neighbor, Barnes, who commenced where
he left off, ever realize his anticipations?
His methods, flippantly called by many,
‘Furman’s folly,” under the guidance of
his intelligent, accomplished and sorely
bereaved widow, are being pursued by
her with entire satisfaction as to ultimate
results. The startling proposition that
125 bushels of oats can be made on one acre
of land was satisfactorily solved by a club,
a majority of whom belonged to tbls club.
I verily believe, that under the auspices
of this club, a reputation can be built up
for our county second to none in the
State.
In the days, way back In the dim, mis
ty past Joseph, the captive son of the patri
arch, Jacob, and Pnaraoh, King of Egypt,
formed the first Agricultural club of which
wejhave any authentic information, and by
wisdom of their counsels, and the prompt
ness aDd efficiency with which their plans
were executed, they saved Egypt and the
surrounding nations from starvation. The
fields, gardens and orchards of our grand
old commonwealth fiom conter to circum
ference are even now groaning beneath a
weight of food for man and beast seldom
equalled, never surpassed, iu our recollec
tion. What better service can the Agricul
tural clubs of the country do than to de
vise plans, and to encourage our people to
harvest and garner up every ounce of their
surplus, against the rigors or a coming
winter and a possible drouth in the next
summer?
To good seasons, skillful husbandry and
improved Implements and fertilizers, re
commended by Agricultural clubs and so
cieties, wo owe the successes of this year,
in this county, in fact the cheering report
comes from every section of the State,
that there is bread for all and some to
spare.
And amidst the plenty which now crowns
this smiling land, let us not forget the
poor, whom we have always with us, and
let us invite them to glean our fields and
with tho generosity of the Lordly Boaz,
allow some forlorn Ruth to “glean even
among the sheaves and reproach her not;
and lot fall also some of the handfuls of
purpose for her, and leave them, that she
may glean them, and rebuke her not.”
And when the crop is harvested and the
full oars of corn are ail safely housed,
ought we not, as a club to celebrato tho
harvest feast with thanksgiving and praise
to the all wise Ruler of the Universe, who
has sent us the early and the latter rain,
and whose promise that seed time and har
vest shall never fail has not yet been, and
we have an abiding confidence never will
be, forfeited. In anticipation, let us say;
“Come ye thankful people come,
Raise the song of Harvest-Home!
All is safely gathered iu,
Ere the winter-storms begin.”
Ex-Senator Stockton of New Jersey
thinks the Democrats will earry Ohio, In
diana, Wisconsin, Now Jersey and New
York beyond doubt. That illuminates the
political horison very brightly, but on the
other hand the New York Herald says:—
“Blaine may be elected. No oue can teil.
‘Soap” and new two dollar bills now be
ing struck off may be as effective as the
Blaine men now profess to believe. Cor
ruption may have reached even the Dem
ocratic voters, as it seems to have reached
some so-called Democratic Journals.”
The Herald says further, “We shall know
it all in three months.” That will put a
stop to all whispers, all hints and all in
sinuations. Some will bo shocked, discom
fited and perplexed, of course. Some fear
and tremble now. We would lend our
spectacles to others for a glimpse or two,
if we could reveal anything but we are like
everybody else. The man who can un vail
the future must have uncommon tulent.
As faint heart never won fair lady, so lack
of courage will never gain a victory. Un
ion and courage, Democrats, is what we
used. Stand boldly by principle let the
result be what it may.
We ought to succeed but the Randallites
are endangering the Democratic prospect.
They are puzzling, perplexing and bam-
booshing so many that hope is weakening
when victory beckons us onward. If we
play sprucely and airily on the Starr
Hflute jews harp and dance the Republican
administration gig to tho neglect, of the
tariff spoiliation of a yearly billion robbery
we will kick our heels to the tune of de
feat on the ides of November. We can’t
play the part of Aminidab Mura to please
the Democratic protectionists, who appar
ently would prefer the success of the pro
tectionists to that of the Democratic tariff
refoimers. You are a small part of the
party and are exposed in your feebleness.
We wanted you to come back to your old
places in the ranks. Can you come back
new? It seems you will not or cannot re
turn. Where must, where will you stand?
You must stand alone, and so standing, in
any event you will find yourselves politic
ally ruined.

Butler'u Programme.
Special to the New York Sun.
Saratoga, August 7.—A conference was
Held at the Grand Union this evening that
lasted nearly until midnight, between
leading Tammany and Butler men. It was
unquestionably in the interest of Butler.
There seems little doubt that Tammany
will support Butler. John Kelly says Butler
will poll twice more votes than his strong
est supporter at present dares prophesy.
The feeling hero among Democrats and
Republicans is that Butler's avowal of his
candidacy completely kills all chances that
Cleaveland may ever have had of carrying
New York, and makes certain has defeat.
Roger A. Pryor is here for Butler. Gen
eral Spino!a, \Y. Bourke Cochran, and
other Tammany leadeis arrived late this
evening.
PLAIN TALK
The San Francisco Argonaut, a Republi
can paper, and the ablest and boldest pa
per on the Pacific slope lias this to say
about the home platform of the Republi
can party in California:
'‘There is a good deal of humbug in pol
itics; there is always an assumption
among politicians and newspapers that
the people are fools. In this respect we
differ; we assume that the average and
ordinarily intelligent man can see just as
far into a mill-stone and just as clearly
through a ladder as an editor or a political
leader. The convention passed a resolu
tion favoring the pensioning of Mexican
soldiers—that was clap-trap to catch sol
dier votes. It advocated the establish
ment of a Secretaryship of Agriculture,
and constituting the incumbent a cabinet
offieer; this rotten apple was thrown into
the agricultural sty in the hope of pleas
ing some idiot granger who does not know
what he wants. It further demanded “that
all property should be taxed,” just as if
anybody at any time had ever assumed
the position that all property should not
be taxed. And still the platform is good
enough. It is the better because it is so
long that few will read it, and so involved
that stupid people willl not understand
it.”

Buldozing the Clerks.—Handsome
and neatly folded billet-douxs are
sent to tho clerks. The civil service
regulations forbid downright de
mands for contributions. Hence it
is expressly stated that all contribu
tions must be voluntary! But every
clerk knows that his, or her name
will be recorded in the account book.
When Blaine gets in, if elected,
those who failed to add to the politi
cal fund will be remembered as well
as those who do. These notes are
double entendre. The jus civile is
simply evaded by the word “volunta
ry”, but the “plank up” or “go out”
when Blaine gets in. If they want
ed to play fair why semi the notes?
These radical republican collectors
have only one string to their bow,
but it has two sounds which the
clerks well understand.

Mr. It. says ho will on a ono horse farm

A colored voter on leaving town Friday

muleshlp objected, ho could not afford to
tote double and no persuasion could get
him to move off, so euffie thought ho
would try him a new way; by putting the
bag on his own shoulder and then mount.
This trick worked like a charm, tho mule
made no farther objections and the man
and mule left town each one thinking that
he had carried his point.

good, will probably yield from 15 to 20
bushels per acre, which is the average
yield of his corn for the last three years.
This gentleman has found a good garden

Mr. Chas. Branan has shipped to date
nine car loads of melons. Others have
shipped several car loads.
There is a specimen of the corn crop sus
pended in our office, the like of which, we
dare say, connot be surpassed, or perhaps
equaled, by any other county in the State,
or perhaps out of it. It is a stalk on which
are four large, solid full-grained and dis
tinct ears of corn-not nubliins—“nary one
of em.” This corn was grown, aud brought
to its high standard of excellence by Mr-
Green Lindsey, ono of Wilkinson’s most
intelligent farmers. He has several acres'
of this prolific variety, every stalk or
which produces from three to five large
ears of corn.

A Hint to Candidates.—When James

people for nomination for Congress, Bae >n
went out on an electioneering tour in the :
counties of his district. He met one day j
with a good country lady, who asked him
to buy some home knit socks. Bacon said j
neither he nor his family used them but
to help her along lie would buy them. No, (
said she. I am not asking charity. Blount
came along in a few days and the same '
lady offered tho socks to him. Why yes
said Blount, they are just what I have
been looking for ever since I left Jonea
county, 1 will take all you have. Blount;
was nominated.
“A Single Fact i* Worth a Ship-Load of
Argument.**
Mr. W. B. Lathrop, of south Easton,
Mass., under date of Jan. 7, 1884, says:
“My father had for years an eating cancer
on his under lip; which had been gradu
ally growing worse until it had eaten
away his under lip down to the gums, and
was feeding itself on the inside of his
cheek, and the surgeons said a horrible
death was soon to come. We gave him
nine bottles of Swift’s Specific and he has
been entirely cured. It has created great
excitement in this section.”
Twisted Bones.
Mr. J. B. Stewart, of Macon, Ga., a well
known and trustworthy gentleman, makes
the following statement: “My son, who
was between three and four years old, was
all drawn up witii rheumatism. His bones
were twisted, and he was all doubled out of
shape. He suffered intense pain, had lost
his appetite, was cross and fretful. He
was reduced to a mere skeleton, and had
to be carried about on a pillow. As these
cases of rheumatism, where the bones were
twisted and the joints were all crooked,
had for years baffled the skill of the most
eminent physicians, I determined to use
Swift’s Specific, as I had seen testimoni
als from men whom I knew to be trust
worthy of similar cases it had cured.
I used two large size bottles of S. 8. 8. ac
cording to directions, with the most satis
factory results. My sou commenced im
proving with the first dose of the medicine.
His sufferings diminished daily and his
appetite increased; he became cheerful and
in good spirits. Gradually he regained
use of his limbs, the twisted bones and
joints straightened out and in. less than
two months ho was entirely cured, and
could waik and got about as well as any
child of bis age.
Beware of imitations of Swift’s Specific,
gotten up by unprincipled parties to de
ceive the public; some of these frauds
bear the lie on their faces purporting to be
vegetable remedies, when they are really
nothing but stiong solutions of mercury
and potash. <
