take office again.
Numbers of negroes, from North and
South Carolina, have been passing

We presume the vote will show about
the same majority in the joint con

the Macon Telegraph.
The loss of Lee Brown, a former res

to be a formal reception by Governor
McDaniel and the citizens of At

tural department in the state capital.
Dr. Easterbrook also states that a
very large delegation will come, and
many of the farmers will bring their
wives. The National hotel will be
their lieadquraters in Atlanta while
here. Parties in Georgia who want
these farmers to visit their sections
can communicate with Major Sloan
at the National, or call there at the
time designated, and make arrange
ments for excursions to the interior of
the state.—Atlanta Constitution.
Perhaps no one can call to mind a
winter so bitter and afflicting as the
present is. The cold is unpreceden
ted, business lias been interupted in
all sections of the country, at
tended with many destructive fires
and floods and great loss of life, and
these great evils are still going on at
the North. West and Houtli. They
are so numerous that it is impossible
for us to recount them for they fill ma
ny columns of our largest daily papers.
One of the most terrifle accidents oc
curred on the South and North Ala
bama division of the Louisville and
Nashville rail road. The shock caus
ed the collapse of the bridge, one hun
dred feet of which was undergoing re
pairs. Some twenty odd cars went
down with the bridge; the wreck
caught fire and eighteen ears were
burned and a number of persons were
killed and others badly burned and
bruised. Conductor L. O. Harris
bravely swam across the almost frozen
river to flag the north bound train
which was to come along in a few
jainutes.
Baldwin Speaks.
As far back as 1845, when the writer
was a resident of Milledgeville, the
people of Baldwin county, in unmis
takable words championed the cause
of temperance and prohibition. When
there on official business, such men as
Chief Justice Lumpkin, the profound
jurist and inimitable orator, and Hon;
\V. II. Crawford, jr., the eloquent and
conservative statesman, E. A. Nisbet
and manv others addressed the multi
tudes that gathered at the old capital
during the session of the Legislature.
Oglethorpe College, with itsnoble staff
of educators was then alive and flour
ishing and headed bv the saintly Tal-
luage. rallied its united forces In the
cause of temperance. Those were glo
rious days for Baldwin and all Georgia.
We are glad to see that the spirit
which glowed in the hearts of their
ancestors, in a measure, still lives in
their soir. and daughters. Let the
noble verdict recently rendered by
the new capital,
It Cannot be doubted that the meet
ing at Amusement Hall on Thursday
last, was the first step in a movement
and, we may as well say, a contest,
which lias stirred various communi
ties in this and other states to then-
very depths. The question of the
prohibition of the selling of intoxica
ting drinks, never fails to divide the
people, wherever it is agitated, into
two strong and determined parties,
each bent upon achieving success. We
are known, we presume, to be in favor
of prohibition. It is a time when all
men will have to take sides. The tem
perance movement has swept over
this State in a manner that lias doubt
less surprised many of its warmest
advocates. The meeting last Thurs
day, when so many of our best peo
ple from the country came out in the
coldest weather we have experienced
for many years, to meet tlieir fellow
citizens of Milledgeville, for the pur
pose of pushing forward this great
moral reform movement, shows the
earnest and determined purpose of its
advocates to labor first and last and
all the time for success. The advo
cates of prohibition were undoubted
ly greatly encouraged by the manifes
tations of public sentiment, brought
out by that meeting; the first public
demonstration of the strength of that
sentiment in this county.
The arguments in favor of prohibi
tion, as ull know, are many and
strong, and will be presented in these
columns in the future. At present
we desire to urge all our fellow citi
zens, of all shades of opinion, to con
duct the contest which is inevitably
before us, with “wisdom, justice, and
moderation"’. We cannot find a bet
ter motto to guide us, than that of
our State, above quoted. We trust
our prohibition friends will not suffer
themselves to be betrayed by their
zeal into unjust denunciations of their
opponents, as has been unhappily too
much the case in some other places.
Let us remember that the most hon
est and sincere men will differ in their
opinions upon the question at issue.
Many men who deal in liquor are hon
orable, upright and generous. They
honestly believe they are in the right,
and so do many others who have
nothing to do with the trade in liq
uors. Let us all concede perfect hon
esty of purpose to each other and dis
cuss this great question upon its mer
its. There is no just occasion for irri
tation of feeling. Every man has a
right to his opinion. The mode of set
tling the question is eminently demo
cratic. It is right that the majority
should rule in this as in other matters.
So let us all conduct the campaign
before us peaceably and with good
temper and he prepared to submit
eheerfully to the result, whatever it
may turn out to be.
Characteristic Republican Methods.
The Republican House of Represent
atives of the Ohio Legislature has
just been guilty of a bit of “sharp
practice" which, if it were not so
grave an offence against every thing
like fair dealing and even decency,
would bean amusing illustration of Re
publican methods and entire lack of
honesty.
The election of representatives to
the Legislature in Cincinnati resulted
in a very close vote between the two
political parties, in which charges of
fraud were made by both sides and
the matter went before the court
After an elaborate investigation, the
the court decided that the democratic
candidates were entitled to the eertifi
sates of election and the proper official
was forced to issue such certificates.
When the legislature convened
the Democratic members in ques
tion took their seats. But the Repub
licans were determined to re-elect
John Sherman U. S. Senator, and
though they liad a'small majority on
joint ballot of the two houses, there
was danger that enough republican
personal enemies of Sherman might
refuse to support him to defeat
him. But the elastic consciences and
political trickery of the “good old
party” (as they like to call themselves;
were equal to the emergency and by
a mere resolution—without investiga
tlon or debate—the republican ma
jority turned out the Democratic mem
bers from Cincinnati, who had just
been awarded their seats by the
court, and seated their Republican
opponents. They then had a good
working majority and lost no time in
electing Sherman to succeed himself
in the U. S. Senate, at the expira
tion of his present term. Something
was said about giving the expelled
democrats a chance to prove their right
to their seats, and as the Republican
majority is sufficient to enable them
to do any thing they may choose to do,
it was graciously conceded that this
privilege should be accorded to them.
But in the mean time, Sherman
elected Senator, and though an
investigation of contested seats
should result in giving the Democrats
a majority in the Legislature, the Re
publicans have already secured, by
their unblushing and infamous trick
ery, six years in the U. S. Sena te of one
of the most unp.incipled and danger
ous men that tin's country, in its
prolitical history, has produced.
One of the most unfavorable signs
of the times is that the barefaced fraud,
effected by the Legislature of one of
the most important and populous,
states in the Union, will probably pass
into current history without eliciting
any thing like the public condemna
tion and denunciation with which a
free people, jealous of the purity of
their governmental institutions and
of the men who administer them,
should overwhelm the actors in so
vile a proeeedure. To this day, the
the Republican party, so far as we
can percive, have never been asham
ed of the stupendous fraud, by which
Hayes was inducted into the office of
President of the United States—the
most exalted position within the gift
of any people on the globe.
Chesterfield a Prohibitionist.
Mr. Editor :
Some are inclined to think that Pro
hibition is the offspring of religious
fanaticism, and putting non-interfer
ence with the liquor traffic upon the
same ground with toleration in relig
ion, they inscribe on their banners of
death theholvnaine of Liberty. With
Madame Roland we may exclaim,
“Oh, Liberty, what crimes are com
mitted in thy name!” That prohibi
tion is not a movement of the “rigid
ly righteous” has been fully demon
strated. Those who know anything
of Lord Chesterfield, know, that he
was a polished gentleman, an accom
plished courtier, a thorough man of
the world, but by no means a Chris
tian. In 1745 he made a speech in the
House of Lords, in opposition to the
license system. Here is an extract:
Vice, my lords, is not properly to be
taxed, but to be suppressed Luxu
ry, my lords, may very properly be
taxed. But the use of those things
which are simply hurtful—hurtful in
their own nature, and in every degree
is to be prohibited. If their liquors
are so delicious that the people are
tempted to their own destruction, let
us at length, my lords, secure them
from these fatal draughts by bursting
the vials that contain them. Let us
check these artists in human slaugh
ter, which have reconciled their coun
trymen to sickness and to ruin, and
spread over the pitfalls of debauchery
such baits as cannot be resisted.
When 1 consider, my lords, the ten
dency of this bill, [to license the liquor-
traffic] I find it calculated only for the
propagation of disease, the suppres
sion of industry, and the destruction
of mankind. For the purpose, my
lords, what could have been invented
more efficacious than shops at which
poison may be vended, poison so pre
pared as to please the palate, while it
wastes the strength and kills only by
intoxication?
From this we see that prohibition is
not even a modern idea, this speech
having been made 143 years ago.
These words, true then, are so with
ten fold emphasis now, when the whis
key traffic lias become the most gigan
tic evil in all the land.

Mu. Editor :—You may tell every
body that the matrimonial wave has
passed over in our community for the
present. We will have to wait for an
other crop to come on before we have
more weddings out here.
All who are old enough have mar
ried off, except two or three, and
they, I think, are likely to be on
hand some time yet, whieh will no
doubt be the better for them.
May large success, and abundant
prosperity attend them all. May
they multiply and replenish this
part of our earth, and may hundreds
of noble bojs and young men be
brought up in Baldwin county, who
shall never see inside of a drinking
saloon, or know anything about the
deleterious effects produced by that
abominable, that detestable, that
damnable body and soul destroying
article,they call Whiskey. O, that
every young man, (and old too) would
resolve that rather than place the
bottle to his lips, he would plaoe it
under his feet and crush it into ten
thousand pieces and let its contents
sink so deep into the earth that the
hand of resurjection would never
bring it to light again.
A generation of sober young men
What a sight! An army of moral,
temperate persons, an honor to them
selves, to their families, to society, to
the church and a blessing to the
whole world. I would rejoice to see
them pass in review and give them a
word of cheer and encouragement,
and go down upon my knees, and
from the deepest depths of my soul,
invoke heaven’s richest blessings
upon them both here and hereafter
Yes, now is the time we want men,
sober, grave, thoughtful, valiantmen,
a mighty phalanx, an army of tre
mendous proportions towage a con
tinuous warfare against this huge
monster,King Alcohol, the reddragon
of the wilderness of sin, the disturber
and destroyer of our peace, the
peace of families, of neighborhoods
and of churches. We want this hid
eous monster, Intemperance, uproot
ed, which so greatly impedes the
progress and spread of the Gospel of
the .Son of God, and which sends
thousands of its victims to an uutimo
ly grave, and down to perdition for
ever. We want to rescue our fathers,
brothers ami sons, who are tremb
ling, bleeding, crying, staggering,
and groaning beneath the intolora
ble burden of his galling and ponder
ous chain.
Let us rally and charge this gigan
tic, this stupendous temple of Bac
chus and rase it to its very founda
tion, ami hurl the god'of this mighty
structure from his throne and dash
him iirto the sea of oblivion, to rise
no more while the world stands.
Let us do all this by our prayers
and tears, entreaties, and peaceably
at the polls. The ladies can, and
will do much to assist us in this
great work.
Fellow citizens of Baldwin County,
white and colored, one and all, let
nre cry in your ears today, Prohibi
tion now, and Prohibition forever.
Let these words bo trumpeted from
the top of the Old State House in
Milledgeville, and vibrate till every
ear shall hear, and every tongue ap
propriate the same or similar lan
guage. And let the winds of Heaven
in their sweep, wafe this motto from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, and then,
from the Atlantic let the echo roll
back to the Pacific again, and shouts
of victory go up to Heaven from ev
ery city, town, and .cross-road, and
the last grog-shop on American soil
be closed forever.
Then might the angel3 come down
and sing over the hills of our happy
America, as they once did over the
hills of Judea, - “Glory to God in the
Highest, and on earth, peace, good
will toward men.” Then I think ev
ery Christian on American soil,
would catch those Angelic words, and
join with them in one harmonioi s
strain and swell the melodies of that
song so loud, that Heaven and earth
might hear. C. B. Anderson.
A Rabbit Foot’s Fortune to Two La

Mrs. M. A. Nagle is a widow lady
who resides on South and Tennessee
sts., in South Memphis. Near her
ivos Mrs. Chas. Knell, the wife of an
industrious Swede, now with the
Memphis and Kansas City R. R. It
lias been their custom to purchase to-
etlmr fractional tickets in The Lousi-
inn State Lottery. Mr. Knell said he
had in his pocket a rabbit-foot he had
cut in Kansas, and it would bring luck
f he was allowed to buy the tickets.
They gave hiin^Oc. each, and he pur-
hased a one tenth ticket, and nailed
the rat bit’s foot to the wall and wrote
the number of the ticket, whieh was
69,255, and it drew one-tenth of the
’c.pital Prize of $50,000.—Memphis

Albany, Ga., January 16.—Much
excitement prevailed here to-day pro-
duced by the suicide of Mr. James A.
Beall, which was wired you yester
day.
The deceased was a son of the late
Jeremiah Beall, of Milledgeville, and,
together with his brother Joseph, in
herited the large estate of his father,
which included two very fine planta
tions in this county.
It is thought lie speculated in cot
ton futures and stocks and bonds
in New York, and that his ventures
were very unsuccessful.
::H is overseers, John H. Coker, from
Hickory Level Place, and James Bar-
bare, from Beech Grove, came in
yesterday morning to settle up the
past year’s business, as neither the
plantations or the hands liad been
paid off, on account of his embarrass
ments, and the negroes were leaving
both places and seeking work else
where. They called at his suite of
rooms in the Beall building about 11
o’clock and found him still in bed.
He requested them to come at 12
o’clock. Before they reached his rooms
they heard of his self-destruction.
He talked freely the night before
with a friend upon the future state of
the soul and remarked that, like his
father, he was not afraid to die. The
conversation ran into the early morn
ing, ending at 3 o’clock and was the
last indulged in. He sent his servant
at 11 o'clock to the drug store of Hills-
niRii & DeGraffenried and procured a
dose of morphine—this he took im
mediately before the shooting, which
occurred at about five minutes past
twelve.
The pistol used was a large horse
man’s of Smith A Wesson’s make.
The ball went directly through the
heart, producing instant deatii, and
passed through the body, lodging
itself in the lower part of 'the under
mattress on the bed. The deceased
was a high-toned and honorable gen
tlernan, who. until very recently
knew only the luxuries of life. He
has many friends here and elsewhere
in tha State who will be saddened by
this announcement qf his death. The
only memorandum found is the follow
lug, which tells its'own sad story, and
will bring the tears to many an eye:
“MEMORANDUM”.
“To a man of birth, education and
refinement, three things are essential
to happiness—health, wealth and
domestic relations. Any of these
lacking, life is not worth living.
“To my true friend ‘Lashe, (mean
ing Hon. A. C. Westbrook), 1 trust
that he will see me laid to rest in Mil
ledgeville, at the feet of my father and
mother, and that no funeral service
of any kind be held over my body.
Let my head be to the north. * *
“I owe no personal debts, except
board at the restaurant, which lie
will please pay.
“My brother Joe will attend to the
paying of the labor on the planta
tions.
“I particularly request that no
mourning be worn for ma by any of
my family.
“To my boys, .Terre and Charley,
I say, emulate my virtues, which are
few, and shun my] vices, which are
many. Be frugal but not parsimoni
ous, generous but not extravagant,
and always remember that your pock
et book is your best friend, and when
that is empty friendship is but a name.
“J. A. Beall.’
Mr. Beall was forty-six years old
and leaves a wife and two children,
who are now in New York, at tlieir
home.
Mr. Joseph Bond, of Macon, wauie
down last night and will with other
friends, accompany the remains to
Milledgeville, where they will be laid
away. Captain Westbrook will carry
out every request of his dead friend.
He had told his own story for the
world to read and nothing can he
added which will make it sadder or
call forth more sympathy for those
who will mourn liis loss.—Macon
Telegraph.
The above news of the sad death of
Mr. Beall was the cause of a very pain*
ful shock to a number of the residents
of Milledgeville. Having been born
and raised here, he had many friends
in this place, who knew him in liis
boyhood and who have gladly given
him the wanu grasp of welcome
his yearly visits to his native place.
His handsome, manly presence, pleas
ant manners, amiable disposition and
his large intelligence and knowledge
of the world were such as to make him
a most agreeable companion and to
attach his friends to him by the warm
est of ties. He became a confederate
soldier while very young at the coin
mencement of the war and performed
his duty faithfully to the end of it. He
soon thereafter engaged in business
with his brother in New York and has
so borne himself ever since as to gain
the friendly regard of many and en
title himself to the respect of all who
knew him. The rash act which ter
minated his life must have been Com
mitted while his fine intellect was un
balanced by trial or sorrow, with
which we are not acquainted. We
have heard it hinted that he was
threated with some fatal ailment and
that under the dreail of future and
unavailing suffering he anticipated
the final result of the disease hv his
own most unfortunate act. The
writer of this knew him well from the
days of his childhood and he can only
indite this short and imperfect tribute
jo his worth and join his many other
friends in heartfelt sympathy with the
bereaved wife and children in tlieir
great and irreparable loss.
Messrs. P. M. Compton A Son re
ceived a telegram to have a grave
prepared to receive the remains of Mr.
Beall, but the order was afterwards
countermanded, and liis remains were
sent to New York.
The pressure on our columns leaves
us but small space to comment on the
above entertainment. It is sufficient
to say that we have never, within the
writer’s knowledge, had anything of
the kind to equal it iu this city. The
writer has heard Ole Bull on two dif
ferent occasions. He may have been
the greater artist of the two, but
Madam Urso’s execution on the violin
seeuied to be as near perfection as we
could well conceive, and her music
was better suited to the taste and
comprehension of any average public
audience on such occasions. The ap
plause was almost uproarious and the
great artist was twice called back to
satisfy the enthusiastic plaudits of
her admirers. The performance of all
the other members of her troupe was
also very good and satisfactory.
It is to be regretted that the audi
ence was small. The lovers of fine
music here who staid away have
cause to regret their absence, whether
they know it or not. If they will not
patronize such musical entertainments
as Madam Urso’s, we must make up
our minds to put up with common
minstrel shows and Humpty Dumpty
extraviganzas, in the way of public
amusements for our people. The
proprietors of Amusement Hall have
done their full duty in getting the
better class of performances for the
benefit of our people, but if we refuse
to sustain them in their efforts in that
direction, we may expect to see a low
er class of amusements, which will
have no good effect on either the
tastes or the morals of our community.

Card of G. Barrett A Co.—We
take great and very sincere pleasure
in again calling attention to the card
of Messrs. G. Barrett A Co. in refer
ence to the celebrated Gilder pills.
The writer invites all our readers to
read, again, what the Proprietors say
of them, and can, in person, sustain
•verv word they say. He has no fears
of chill and fever as lie once had;
these pills in his case has proven a
sovereign remedy and from taking not
more than two doses. We doubt if the
world can produce anything so bene-
ficient as they, and the H. H. P. for

A terrible collision occurred on the
Baltimore and Ohio road of two
freight trains heavily loaded. Three
engines and twenty cars heavily load
ed were heaped into a frightful mass.
This caught lire and burned for some
time. One engineer was found with
his head split open, one fireman was
buried in between pieces of the wreck
and was litterally roasted to death.
A second fireman was cut in two and
dismembered parts of his body were
found some distance apart. Another
was badly injured and died in three
hours. The engineer aud fireman of

THE ARTESIAN WELL.
a talk with col. baum—splendid
PROSPECT OF SUCCESS
Col. Baum, of Atlanta artesian well
fame, has been in the city for a day or
two past looking after the well now
being sunk in the yard of the Georgia
Chemical Works.
He says they first went through
clay then reached sand and water
which underlies all that section of the
city. Leaving this the anger again
entered clay, and then struck slate
rock. At a depth of 85 feet a section
of pipe was bedded in the solid slate
rock and a vein of water was struck
which rose within fifteen feet of the
surface. At a depth of 135 feet anoth
er vein of water was reached which
rose within nine feet of the surface.
How far have you gottefei now?
Two hundred feet have been sunk
in two weeks, and I would not be
surprised if we got a permanent flow
in less than 400 feet.
At 195 feet they struck flint rock
which soon gave place to slate rock
again.
If this venture is a success at any
reasonable depth a number of other
corporations in this city will probably
have wells bored.- Augusta (Hmmirle.
There was a severe cold storm iu
England and Scotland on the 9th.
All trains blocked in Nebraska. The
weather was colder in Texas than was
ever known before, killing many cat
tie. Everywhere North, the cold
was fearful. Indeed the cold was
fearful all over the country, and many
calamities occurred. We cannot re
count them. This weather still exists
and seems likely to continue for days.
Fires too have been raging in Cleve
land, Cincinnati and Louisville. The
New England coast is strewn with
the wrecks of vessels. The late bliz
zards have been terrific.
Pepper and Salt but no Vine
gar.—A good many years ago
Judge Iverson Harris had oeca
sion to travel through this part
of the country, and it was at
country home not many miles
from this place that a good* story
was the outgrowth of a conversa
tion at the tea table, and although
it has been reserved for a good
while, it has been well kept and
in consequence none the less
true. As Judge Harris was con
sidered a “big” man it behooved
the landlady of the aforesaid
home to be on her “ps and qs
while in conversation with him—
the “Jedge.” So at the supper-
table the aforesaid good lady
carefully drew on one of her kil
lin’ smiles and said: “Jedge will,
you have coffee?” “Yes, madam.”
“Condiments?” “Peper and salt,
but no vinegar, please,” the
Judge replied.

Saved His Life
Mr. D. L. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
Ky., says he was, for many years,
badly afflicted with Phthisic, also Dia
betes: the pains were almost unendur
able and would sometimes almost
throw him into convulsions. He tried
Electric Bitters and got relief from
first bottle and after taking six bot
tles. was entirely cured and had gain
ed in flesh eighteen pounds. Says he
positively believes he would have
died, had it not been for the relief af
forded by Electric Bitters. Sold at

mond was under the influence of
whiskey and a suspender button turn
