Young’s Hotel, the principal house
for the entertainment of visitors, at
Tallulah Falls, was burned a few days
since. It is believed that it will'goon
be rebuilt.
The President goes to New York to
vot" fur Hiil for Governor, and the
other Democratic candidates. Mr.
Curtis and the other Mugwumps who
voted for Mr. Cleveland have gone
buck to the Republicans. Thev are
opposed to Hill, Cleveland’s friend,
for Governor. This is what we ex
pected. Let them go back.
lt is said there is some feeling be
tween John 18. Barbour and J. YV.
Daniel, who are candidates for the
United States Senate, and this lias
done tiie Democratic party some harm
In Virginia, lt is thought, though,
that it will not prevent Fitzhugh Lee’s
election for Governor. We hope the
State will go ail right and defeat Mft-
lione for Senator.
A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held in Augusta on Tuesday
night of last week to manifest sympa

A short while since there seemed to
bo no fear of Democratic defeat in
Virginia. Mahone, if is now stated,
has a plenty of money, and it is now
feared the Democrats will he defeat-
mi. All tiie negroes have become
solid for Wise ami Fitzhugh Lee may
be defeated. The Northern Republi
cans have probably sent a large sum
of money to use in the election. A
great effort is being made to defeat
Lee. Money lias a powerful influence
with the negroes. A change has cer
tainly taken place, and the election is
now doubtful.
Lincoln's Scotch Cat.—Hon. E.
B. Wasliburne, in the November num
ber of the North American Review,
recalls most vividly the exciting days
of ’til, and corrects some popular
myths that have been so generally
received as to become almost a part
of history. According to Mr. Wash-
burue. the famous “Scotch Cap’’
which Lincoln is supposed to have
worn when he went to Washington,
must go into iiction. He says :
“There lias been a great deal print
ed in the newspapers about Mr. Lin
coln's arrival in Washington, and
about the “Scotch Cap’’ and “Big
Shawl ' lit* wore through Baltimore,
most of which is mere stuff. * * *
He had on a soft low-crowned hat,
a muffler around his neck, and a short
bob-tailed overcoat. * * * I must
confess, he looked more like a well-to-
do farmer than the President of the
United States.”
Toombs and the Union Flag.
A friend has just told us ail incident
hi the life of the dying statesman and
patriot, which we have never seen in
print. In ISO',’, when the confederate
army was in Maryland, some Union
ladies, presuming upon the privileges
of their sex, arranged a couple of U.
S. flags over the road which Gen'l.
Toombs and his command were pass
ing, so that it became necessary eith
er to order liis men to remove them,
or to submit to the supposed humilia
tion of passing under them. To take
either horn of the dilemma these mali
cious women thought would place
their enemy in a ridiculous position.
On reaching the place the gallant
southerner immediately took in the
situation, and with that quickness of
perception and decision which were
among his marked characteristics he
reined up his horse in front of the
group of his fair enemies, (who were
awaiting the result of their impudent
trick,) took off his liat and with a low
obeisance said : "Ladies, I salute you,
I see your flag for the lirst time in the
hands of those who alone can protect
it,” and immediately passed on his
way, followed by his men. In view
of the fact that the Union armies had
suffered defeat after defeat, with
scarcely a break, up to that time, in
the monotonous story, it must be con
ceded that the brief, but cutting, re
mark ami the contemptuous disregard
of the idolized flag, under such pro
tection, was a most happy disposition
of an otherwise annoying incident.
Worthy of His Hire.
If a man is lit to preach he is worth
wages. If he is worth wages
he should receive them with the reg
ularity that is demanded and enforc
ed in business life. There is no man
in the community who works hard
for what he receives than the faithful
minister. There is no man in win
work the community is interested—to
whom regular wages that will not
cost him a thought are so import
ant.
Of what proportionate use can any
man b« in the pulpit whose w.eeks are
frittered away in mean cares and petty
economies. Every month or every
quarter dav every pastor should
be sure ‘ that there will be
placed in his hands, as his just
wages, money enough to pay all liis
expenses. Then, without a sense of
special ob igation he can preach the
truth with freedom, and prepare for
ills public ministration without dis-
traotion.
Nothing more cruel to a pastor, or
disastrous to his work can be done
than to force upon him a feeling of
dependence upon the charities of his
flock. He is the creature of a popular
whim, and a preacher without influ
ence to Whose who do not respect him
or his office sufficiently to pay him
the wages due to a man who devoted
his life to them. Manliness cannot
live in such a man, except it be in
torture—a torture endured simfflv
because there are others who depend
upon the charities doled out to
him.
Good, manly pastors do not want
gifts—they want wages. They need
them and the people owe them; but
they take to themselves the credit of
benefactors, and place their pastor in
an awkward and false position. If
Christians do not sufficiently recognize
the legitimacy of the pastor's calling
tc render him fully his wages, and to
assist him to maintain his manly inde-
p*ndence before the world, they
mist not blame the world for looking
ujon him with contempt that forbids
aid precludes influence. The world
V'H be quite ready to take the pastor
atthe valuation of his friends, and
tie religion he teaches sit the price
iti professors are willing to pay in a
bismess way fvf its ministry.

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
Working I.fgWal«rs-(iiir (inn Kep-
resentatlve.
Atlanta, Oct. 15th, 1885.
Editor Union & Recorder:
With to day will end what has come
to be known as the “long session” of
the Legislature. Having had the op
portunity of observing its proceed
ings 1 am prepared to differ with a
portion of the press of the State as to
the ability and business tact of that
honorable body. 1 regard the House
of Representatives as one of the most
intelligent as well as oue of the most
fearless bexlies of men in the discharge
of duty that ever assembled in Geor
gia. It is true that no one man of
either branch of the General Assem
bly rose to the position of leader,
but it cannot be denied that both
bodies contained some of the iinest
legislators the State ever had, some
who are recognized, wherever known,
as men of ability and learning. The
fact that no one min obtained a mas
tery overeither branch of the Legisla
ture. notwithstanding both branches
possessed able and skillful members,
is most conclusive evidence that the
average ability of the membership
was of a high order and not easily
dominated by particular individuals.
It is proverbial of all weak bodies that
tiie will of the recognized leaders is in
effect the will of a majority and that
legislation by such bodies is the legis
lation of one or probably a few mem
bers. The legislature just adjourned
gave expression in its action on ail
questions before it us the real opin
ion of probably a larger proportion
of its members than any similar body
that has sat in Georgia since the war.
It was an intelligent, conscientious,
fearless and painstaking body of rep
resentative citizens and the wisdom
of its action will be demonstrated by
the future.
Along with its absence of leader
ship may be also mentioned, to iis
credit, as indicating its trustworthi
ness, the fact that the most useful and
influential members were not those
most frequently heard in debate upon
the floor. Upon the contrary, in the
House especially, conclusions were
most generally reached after mature
consideration of measures in commit
tee and after free interchange of views
among members in the more quiet and
candid way. Many of the most im
portant measures met their fate as the
result of this kind of work rather than
from the influence of speech-making.
Most conspicuous among the mem
bers who exerted a large influence in
this way for the State’s good may be
mentioned Mr. Eason of Telfair, Mr.
Thayer of Baker, Mr. Lindsey of Wil
kinson, Mr. Dennis of Putnam and
your own representative, Mr. Lamar.
These gentlemen rarely addressed the
House as a whole, but there was not
a measure that did not feel the influ
ence of the never tiring and ever
watchful Eason. He saw and heard
everything that transpired and utili
zed it as if by intuition.
To Messrs. Thayer, Lindsey, Dennis
md Lamar may be justly credited a
very large portion of the vote cast for
the railroad commission bill and to
Mr. Eason a very large portion of the
vote against it. These gentlemen
were recognized as not only reliable
personally, but as among the most
conservative and sound members of
the House.
Mr. Lindsey, with his genial man
ners, high character and discriminat
ing mind justly wielded a great influ
ence with his fellow representatives.
Mr Lamar was regarded as a good
match for Eason. Nothing seemed to
escape him and his conclusions though
always quick and apparently without
time for consideration, were regarded
as safe. He was recognized authority
on all matters pertaining to measures
affecting the State Lunatic Asylum,
and to him probably more than all
other members combined, may he
credited some of the most salutary
legislation in behalf of the Institution.
It rarely happens that clearer demon
stration is had of the personal influ
ence of a member than was had in the
passage of the bill for the relief of the
Asylum, which provided for the re
turn, in the discretion ot the Asylum
officials, to the authorities of the
several counties from which they
were sent, all harmless, incurable pa
tients. This bill will greatly relieve
the institution and enable those in
charge to receive and properly treat
cases of a curable nature, instead of
making the Asylum a mere place of
confinement for idiots and incurable
but harmless lunatics. This bill met
the warm approval of the officials of
the Asylum and appears to be de
manded by the condition of the Insti
tution. It met, however, with very
determined opposition, both in com
mittee and before the house and at
one time its passage was entirely de
spaired of. It was generally conceded
that its final passage was due almost
entirely to the unremitting and skill
ful efforts of Mr. Lamar. To him,
also, may be credited the appropria
tion of three thousand dollars for the
repair of the old capitol building.
1 mention these facts in simple jus
tice to members, who, by their dili
gence and good management, accom
plished ends that could not have been
reached UDder the guidance of less
skillful members. Under the general
option law it is hoped Baldwin Will
place herself on tiie list of prohibition
counties. I do not know the senti
ment of her people on this important
question, but it is certain that no coun
ty that lias ever tried prohibition has
abandoned it; on the contrary the
temperance sentiment grows stronger
year by year in these counties. In
conclusion permit me again to refer to
your representative. His active sup
port of tiie general option bill and liis
uniform support of all local temper
ance measures caused him to be rec
ognized as one of the staunchest tem
perance men of the legislature. J.
BITTER BREAD.
Complaint is frequently made by those
who use baking powders that they
leax-e in bread, biscuit, or cake raised
by them a disagreeable, bitter taste.
This taste follows the use of all impure
baking powders, and is caused either
by their containing alum (introduced
to make a cheap article), by the im
pure and adulterated character of
other ingredients used, or from the
ignorance of their manufacturers of
the proper methods of combining
them. These baking powders leave
in the bread a residuum formed of
lime, earth, alum, or other deleteri
ous matters, not always, though fre
quently, tast&ble in tiie food, and by
all physicians classed as injurious to
health. The Royal Baking Powder is
free from this serious defect. In its
use no residuum is left, ami the loaf
raised bv it is always sweet, light, and
noticeably free from the peculiar
taste complained] of. The reason of
this is because it is composed of noth
ing but absolutely pure materials,
scientifically combined in exactly the
proper proportions of acid and alkali
to act upon and destroy each other,
while producing the largest amount of
raising power. We are justified in
this assertion from the unqualified
statements made by the Government
chemists, who after thorough and
exhaustive tests recommended the
“Royal” for Governmental use be
cause of its superiority over all others
in purity, strength, and wholesome-
ness. There is no danger of bitter 1 «read
or biscuit where it alone is used.

Secession in 1820—Wm. H. Craw
ford’s Views.
A RHMARKABI* rROPHKUY.
Snuou Ujriosr & Rkorobr ;
Tin* following is too goodto be lost,
or not to be known by the present
generation, ‘especially to’those who
may have political aspirations. As
said by Gov. Troup after a long ob
servation in national affairs, “at no
period of our history has the South
not suffered from the false opinions or
open treachery of Southern inen.’L
And he was correct, for the love of of
fice and political distinction made
many Southern men very conserva
tive or tender footed on the slavery
question fifty and sixty years ago,
when they should have been bold and
aggressive in the annunciation of prin
ciples. But to the views of Mr. Craw
ford.
When Missouri applied for admission
into the Union in 1820, with a recogni
tion of slavery in her constitution, those
posted in the political history of their
country are aware that the,talk of seces
sion was rampart. New England talk
ed and threatened secession because
those States were opposed to the ex
tension of slavery; and the South
talked secession because she demand
ed that every State should be free to
have whatever institution it desired.
TheNorth was actuated by selfishaud
jealous feelings, fearing the growing
power of the slave states ; while the
South planted itself upon the broad
principles of the Federal Constitu
tion.
In those memorable days when the
great conflict of interest and love of
country was being discussed by South
ern statesmen, then in Washington,
Hon. Wm. H. Crawford gave expres
sion to the following, which proved
to he prophecy.
He said : “If the Union is of more
importance to the South than slavery,
the South should immediately take
measures for the gradual emancipa
tion of the slaves, fixing a period for
its final extinction. But if the insti
tution of slavery is of more vital im
portance than the perpetuation of the
Union to the South, she should at
once secede and establish a govern
ment to protect and preserve this in
stitution. She now has the power to
do so without the fear of provoking a
war. Her people should be unani
mous. ami this agitation lias made
them so. I believe. I know the love
of the Union has been paramount to
every other consideration with the
Southern people, but they view, as I
do, this attempt to arrest the further
spread of slavery as aggressive on the
part of Congress, and discover an
alarming state of the Northern mind
upon this subject. This with an in
creasing popular strength may grow
into proportions which shall be irre
sistible, and the South may be ulti
mately forced to do what she never
will voluntarily do—abolish at once
the institution.”
llow clearly a statesman can read
the future, when great principles are
compromised upon the altar of policy
or a sentiment. The above was
prophecy, and to-day we are reaping
the bitter fruits of the policy, not
principles, of our national legislators
in 1820. Mr. Crawford was right; and
so was Gov. Troup in his message of
May, 1825.
“But,” said Mr. Holmes of the State
of Maine, to Mr. Crawford: “the
constitution guaranteed slavery to the
States, that its control and destiny
were alone with the States/and there
was no danger that the North would
ever violate the constitution to inter
fere with what they had no interest
in.”
Little did Mr. Holmes know the
power of fanaticism when fully arous
ed, and when it had power in its
hands.
Said John Randolph, of Va., who
was present during the conversation :
“Never violate the constitution! Mr.
Holmes, you perhaps know the na
ture of your people better than I do.
But I know them well enough not to
trust them. They stickle at nothing
to accomplish an end; and their
preachers can soon convince them
that slavery is a sin, and that they
are responsible for its existence here,
and that they can only propitiate
Deity by its abolition. You are a pe
culiar people. Holmes, prone to fanat
icism on all subjects; aud this fanati
cism concentrated as a religious duty,
the constitution will only prove a bar
rier of straw. No, sir; I am unwilling
to trust them. They want honesty of
purpose, have no sincerity, no patri
otism, no principle. Interest, inter
est, sir, is their moving motive. Do
you not see it in their action in this
matter ? Missouri is a fertile and lovely
country ; they want it for the purpose
of settlement with their own people.
Your people are too religious, sir, emi
nently practical, inventive, restless,
cold, calculating, malicious, and ambi
tious ; invent curious rat-traps, and
establish missions. I don’t want to
be trapped, sir, I am too wary a rat for
that, and think with Mr. Crawford,
now is the time for separation, and I
mean to ask Clay to unite with us.
Y et, sir, 1 have not spoken to the fel
low for years, sir, but I will to-mor-
row ; I will tell him I always despised
him, but if he will go to his people, I
will to mine, and tell them now is the
time for separation from you ; and I
will follow his lead if he will only do
so. if it leads me to perdition.”
Mr. R. then left.
“Can Mr. Randolph be in earnest?”
asked several.
“Intensely so,” replied Mr. Craw
ford. “Mr. Holmes, your people are
forcing Mr. Randolph’s opinions upon
the entire South. They will not per
mit Northern inter-meddling with that
which peculiarly interests themselves,
and over which they alone hold con
trol." • •
We are indebted for the above from
the memoirs of fifty years.' bv W. H.
Sparks. A great lessomcaii Be learnt
by the statesmen of this oar day, and
that is, never to compromise a’great
principle with any kind of policy or
temporary expediency. Our fathers
loved the Union, “not wisely but too
well". There should have been no
such a thing as the ‘Missouri Compro
mise’. As wisely said by Gov. Troup
in his day, "YOu cannot compromise
a power or principle of the Constitu-
tion." Our so-called statesmen were
forever talking about “compromise”
whenever their rights were assailed,
and fur party purposes were ever sur
rendering principles upon the altar of
party and party success We are now
eating the fruit of their jiolicies and
love of party power. R. M. O.
A True Story With a Very Happy
Ending.
Such is the story of Topping, the
Market st. tailor, who was poor and
is rich: who bought a fifth of a Louis
iana State Lottery ticket coupon for
one dollar and won a fortune last
month. It is said that Tepping has
forsaken the scenes that he formerly
haunted; that the paths he trod now
know him no more. Where is Tep
ping? Has he returned to the laud
where Prince Bismarck rules and
where the American hog is unknown?
It is hinted that Tepping has gone to
visit his Fatherland and there to as
tonish the natives with graphic ac
counts of how 7 fortunes have been
made by Californians investing in
Louisiana State Lottery tickets.—San
Francisco (Cal.) Chronicle, Sept. 13.
Capt. A. H. Cason, of Florida, was
robbed of $400 at a hotel in Washing
ton, Wilkes county, recently. Some
$200 was fortunately, in the shape of
a check on Augusta, the payment of
which he stopped, and thereby saved
that amount. The thief entered his
bed-room at night.

“The Lord said unto Moses speak
unto the children of Isruel that they
go forward.”
As part of God’s people be it our
delight, as a church, to heed His call—
to “go forward.” to take no backward
move, to go forward in every good
word aud work. Filled with the bi-
ble sense of honor and holiness in
things financial and spiritual, as sons
and daughters of the Lord Most
High, let us honor Him with our
hearts and substance day by day more
and more; loving one another, forgiv
ing one another, praying for each
other, endeavoring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bonds of peace.
It lias pleased Him to be better to
us than all our fears. Our church
membership is larger than ever before,
though many have moved away, died,
and been stricken from the roll for
cause. Nearly every year for the past
fifteen years He has given to us a re
vival of more or less power and good
results.
In 1871, 28 persons joined the church
on profession; in 1872, 68; in 1873,5 join
ed; in 1874, 25 joined—Rev. A. J. Jarrell

Wadsworth, pastor 54 joined; in 1876,
Rev. H. J. Adams, pastor, 24 joined;
in 1877, Rev. H. H. Parks, pastor, 15

20 joined; in 1878, 23 joined, in 1870,
18 joined, Rev. G. G. Smith, pastor; in
1881, 48 joined, in 1882, 23 joined, Rev.
G. II. Patillo, pastor; in 1883. 12 join

R. W. Bigham, pastor.
As the Sunday School is so nearly-
related to the growth of the church, it
is instructive to note its record as to
members gathered from its classes. I
regret that my accurate information
on this point extends no farther
back than the years of bro. Conn’s
superintendency. In 1877 and in 1880,
H. 11. Parks, pastor 18 Sunday school
scholars joined the church; in 1878 and
1879, G. G. Smith, pastor, 23 S. S.
Scholars joined; in 1881 and 1882, G. H.
Patillo, pastor, 21 S. S. scholars joined;
in 1883, 1884 and 1885, 61 S. S. scholars
joined the church. Whole number of
members received during the years of
his service, 227, of whom 123 were Sun
day school scholars.
The 4 years of the last 20 noted for
ingathering of church members are
1872—bro. Jarrell, 68 were received on
profcoci..n. in i*to, Dro. Wadsworth.
54 were received; in 1881, bro. Patillo,
48 were received; in 1885, 63 have been
received on profession, of whom 51 are
Sunday school scholars. This last meet
ing was preceded 2 or 3 months by a
covenant of the officers and teachers
of the Sunday school with the pastor
to pray for the conversion of the Sun
day school pupils, and to teach and
talk to them earnestly with a view to
their conversion; and also a special
prayer-meeting was held by them each
week for this purpose till interrupted
by fatal sickness in the pastor’s family;
and duly came the meeting, the reap
ers and harvest. And it is not strange
though true that of the 48 persons
who joined the church during that
meeting all except one was of the Sun
day school, and he the father of 2 or
3 of the children who Were brought to
Christ. Nor, however earnest and
faithful the laborers, did the power
reach many outside the Sunday school
scholars and workers. A direct an
swer to prayer was that meeting. And
from then till now a very gr’acious
spiritual growth over former periods
has been manifest with the teacher^
and superintendent, and pupils.
About 90 of the pupils are in class-
meeting classes led by four of our de
vout ladies, and it is a scene of grace
and beauty of holiness to observe
them file from the class-room Sunday
afternoons into the Sunday school
room. May God bless them more and
more! May God bless you all! May
God bless all of us and our city always
to the perfect day—and bring us hap
pily through the year in things finan
cial and spiritual!

We are pleased to publish the fol
lowing card of Col. O. P. Fitzsimons,
which we find in the Augusta Chron
icle.
To the Public.—My attention has
been recently called to one of the cam
paign documents issued by the “Na
tional Democratic (’ommittee,” in
which ft is charged that I am a Re
publican and a defaulter to the Gov
ernment while United States Marshal
of Georgia.
Both are false. I am neither a Re
publican or a defaulter. On the con
trary, the Government is indebted to
me in the sum of ($13,000; thirteen
thousand dollars. As my ease will
come up for settlement at the next
term of the United States District
Court, I ask my fellow citizens to sus
pend adverse judgment until the case
is decided. Respectfully,
O. P. Fitzsimons.
We never doubted Lis integrity as a
Democrat or an official.

The Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at
the Vienna World’s Exposition, 1873 ; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1876 ; at tha
American Institute, New York, and at State Fairs throughout the country.
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni
versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of
Health all over the world. 5
Note—The above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking
Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler.
A pound can of each powder was "taken, the total leavening power or volume in
each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by
Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking
Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound
more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advant
age of better work. A 6ingle trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any
fair minded person of these facts.
* While the diagram shows somo of the alnm powders to be of a higher degree
of strength than other powders ranked below them, it Is not to be taken as indicat
ing that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength,
•re to be avoided as dangerous.
