UNION & RECORDER. MfT.TiBDgKVILLK, FBBRUAB.T 23,1886- p IR ^T Message.—Gov. Fitzhugh Tpp % first message to the Virginia T^^latnre. is highly spoken of. treats mainly of the State debt. It Wages are being raised, strikers re- ” . *■* ±. mills Ktnrt,ini> nn turning to work, mills starting up and evidences of business revival are reported from every section. A Case of Long Life.—Capt. John Boyd of Milroy, Ind., celebrated his one hundredth birth day, about a week since. He was born in Schenec tady, Yew York, February 12, 1786. He was commissioned a Captain in the Yew York State Militia in 1807 and served through the war of 1812. His health is still good and his mind unimpaired, and he transacts his own business regularly with good judg ment.; Deaths of (treat Men.—Among all the distinguisned men who have recently been consigned to honored graves, no one was more distinguish ed for transcendent talents, powers of oratory, depth of thought, and bril liant triumphs, than the late General Rob't Toombs. He stood out to the last an unrepentant “rebel.” We doubt if any earthly power could have persuaded him to accept a pa. don for what he did to accomplish independ ence for his State and section. His name will be enshrined in the nobili ty, grandeur and solitude of his posi tion, and will live in the admiring memories of many thousand South erners. The nomination of J. W. Renfroe as postmaster at Atlanta, has developed considerable opposition on the part of a portion of the state press. Hon. Y. J. Hammond also made a strong fight against it and is in direct oppo sition to our two Senators on this is- Xi&dies Prohibition Club. As opinions are being freely express ed by others, we desire to say that Mr. Renfroe in the matter of receiving interest on deposits made by him as treasurer, for the safekeeping of which he and his bondsmen were responsi ble merely followed the example of Dr. Angier, one of his predecessors, whose doings in that regard had been considered by the Legislature and he was allowed to keep the money. When however opposition to Renfroe’s do ing the same thing was made, he offer ed to pay the money into the treasu ry. His enemies, however, refused his proposition and had suit instituted against him and he was cleared by the court. He made a capital state treas urer and we doubt not will make e- qually as good a postmaster. In our opinion he is an upright man and good citizen. Prohibition. Mr. Smythe has been asked if he has changed his views on the ques tion of prohibition. This we presume has been caused by the recent deter mined stand taken by the paper in favor of prohibition. Mr. Sniythe’s opinions are unchanged. The Pro prietors of the “Union & Recorder” have very kindly published Mr. Smy the’s views, but the paper belongs to them. Mr. S. is only associate editor. While he thinks as they do that many evils are the results of intemperance, his plan for reformation is a different one from that of the prohibitionists. Mr. S. refers to this merely to vindi cate his consistency. He thinks there is a better plan than prohibition and the only one that can succeed. He has published it in the Union & Re corder. He makes this statement as some may suppose he has changed his opinions. He has never written a word in favor of prohibition and be lieves it will be a failure, for people who want whisky, brandy or any other intoxicating drink will always be able to obtain them. Many ladies of Milledgeviile and vi cinity, "responding to a published call, assembled at the Methodist Church, Thursday, p. M., at 21 o'clock and adopted the following resolution. Resolved, We, ladies of Milledge- ville and vicinity, hereto subscribed, agree to constitute ourselves a Prohi bition dub—to organize 'as such by electing a President, two vice-presi dents, secretary and treasurer—to create the needful committees—and to do what we may to advance the in terests of the pending Prohibition movement in this county. The following elections were duly made, to-wit: Mrs. A. V. Dubignon, President; Mrs. J. D. Hammond, Vice-President; Mrs. C. P. Crawford, Vice-President; Mrs. A. J. Beck, Secretary; Mrs. E. E. Bell, Treasurer. The following resolutions were a- dopted: 1. The officers of the Club shall compose the Executive Committee, with full power to represent the Club in all matters, affecting the interest of the cause, such as devising ways and means, methods of work, can vassing, naming sub-committees, etc. 2. We will each wear the Blue Badge until after election and induce others to join us and display the Badge continually. Messrs. Barrett, Windsor and Evans of the Prohibition Exec. Com. of the County were present and advised with the Club. A telegram from Carters ville, announcing the Rev. Sam Jones’ acceptance of the invitation to speak on Saturday was greeted with earn est applause. After motions passed to attend the Mass Meeting next Saturday and to re-assemble on call of the Executive Committee, the Club adjourned. Mrs. A. J. Beck, Sec.

Gough. John B. Clough, the great temper ance orator, died of apoplexy in Philadelphia, on the 18th inst. For many years Mr. Gough devoted his time^ talents, and streugth to the ad vocacy of a cause, which seemed to him to be the foundation of all human progress and well being. In his younger days he had been the slave of drink and had sounded all the depths of woe and degradation insep arably connected with the vice of drunkenness. He could speak from the teachings of a terrible experience, and with a wonderful gift of oratory, lie presented intemperance in such dark colors that thousands and tens of thousands were induced to take the pledge of total abstinence. The infirmities of age have doubtless to a great extent, kept him of late years from continuing the war against alco hol, with liis old time vigor and ener gy, but he had, by his great and suc cessful labors in the prime of life, earned a well-deserved rest, when old age came upon him. His death will be much regretted, and his memory will be honored in the time to come, when the names of men of much greater prominence now, shall have long been forgotten. Death of Hon. L. N. Whittle. Mr. Editor: The people are watching with much interest the actions and the inaction of certain officals, and of at least one who longs to be among the number. Can it be possible that these men are worse than the average, or at least have less decision than most men? If so, have Ithey the qualities fitting them for their positions? Are they on the side of temperance, or of license and lawlessness? Do theyhope that the intelligent, law-abiding citizens will wink at tlieir positioq while they hob nob with ignorance and crime, or do they hope hereafter to represent the latter class? These are the times that try men’s souls, and show of what stuff they are made, and I know many who will remember this day when the battle of Home against Hell was joined. “Ye can not serve two mast ers,” “choose whom ye will serve.” If whisky be your master, serve it, but if the public good, serve it. Home. One of the good traits of onr human nature is -that which impels us to speak well of the dead. It is almost proverbial that epitaphs and obitua- ries are to he accepted as merely the tributes of affection from loving rela tives and friends, not as reliable state ments of the real characteristics of the departed. In endeavoring to do something like justice, however, to the memory of the Hon. L. N. Whit tle. who died at his residence in Ma con on the 17th instant, a singular difficulty occurs in findihg words in which to depict his almost perfect character, within the reasonable lim its of a newspaper article. He was born in Norfolk, Ya., in May. 1*18, and came to Georgia before he was twenty years of age. After following the profession of a civil en gineer for a few years, he studied law, and after admission to the bar, spent his somewhat long life in the city of Macon, in the successful practice of that honorable profession. While he was not endowed with the attractive and useful gift of oratory, he had a sound and discriminating intellect, perfect integrity and untiring indus try and application to business ; qual ities which soon procured for him a goon position at the bar, and finally gave him probably the most lucra tive practice in the city of his resi dence. This he retained as long as his health lasted. For nearly fifty years he was a mem ber, and the greater portion of the time a leading officer, of Christ Church, (Episcopal) in Macon. He many times represented his church in its state and national conventions and convocations, and took a leading part in all matters concerning the (promo tion of its interests. A committee consisting of official members of his church said they were “unable to em body in words the virtues of his life, for language cannot possibly express their ideas regarding his symmetrical character.” In all the enterprises that were intended to promote the welfare of the people of Macon, he took an active part and was in almost ail eases made a trustee, dr director, or member of the committee of manage ment, Ac. Faithful in all things, it was a labor of love with him to devote his time and talents to everything that would promote the welfare of his people, all of whom loved and honor ed him. For a number of years past he has been a most valuable member, and the greater portiou of the time the president, of the board of trustees of the State Lunatic Asylum. He took the greatest interest in the man agement and improvement of this in stitution, being impelled thereto Eatonton, Ga., Feb. llth, 1886. My Dear Mr. Beck: Don’t allow any business man to make the assertion unchallenged, that prohibition curtails or hurts in any way any business except that of the liquor t raffic. Nothing is clearer than that money not spent for liqu° r re mains to be expended in the purchase of other goods. If there is in the experience of any town that has practiced prohibition, one good argument for the free liquor side, I have never seen it advanced. There is no other way whereby one can tell the effect of a law as well as by experiment, and its effect with us is a perfect and happy success. It does lessen the number of drunken men seen on the streets to the extent that one is very seldom seen when they formerly were disgustingly plen tiful. The relief to a business man in having no drunken men in his store, or in his presence on the street, is of itself a great boon. I think I speak the sentiments of moderate users of liquor, as well as of temperance people, when 1 say not one in one hundred who has lived in a prohibition town would be willing to go back to the old way. I hope you will succeed in abolish ing the worst enemy in all this South ern country to good manners and good morals. If you do not succeed at this time I am sure that so good a cause must fi nally win, but those who see their way clear ought to work hard to bring about the good work at once. Always yours, Benj. W. Hunt. The prohibition election came off in Pulaski county on Thursday the 18th instant, and resulted in the suc cess of prohibition by 331 majority. Maj. John \V. Daniel, of Virginia, will deliver the address at Atlanta, Ga., on the unveiling of the statne of the late Benj. H. Hill. It will be a fine effort. We learn that Hon. F. G. DuBignon says all his profitable business, as So licitor General is in the “wet” coun ties of bis circuit. The “dry” coun ties are very dry in the matter of fees, A trapper, after catching sixteen beavers on the Towaliga river, recent ly passed through McDonough on his way to the head waters of the Oconee. The skins sell for about $ 1.50 each. A difficulty occurred at the turpen tine distillery of F. M. Taylor & Co. on the D. & W. railroad recently, in which Mr. J. F. Meyers, the over seer, shot a negro, who will probably die. Miss Rogers was burned to death recently near Reedy Springs in Laur ens county. While standing near the fire her clothing caught on fire, burning her fatally before it could be extinguished. At a public sale in Dooly county re cently corn sold at 36 cents per bushel. The Academic, (the county paper) says in view of that fact there is no excuse for anybody to steal com or meal either in that region. Up to this’ time about fourteen miles of the Macon and Covington railroad have been graded. The work is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and it is thought that the Georgia railroad will be tapped by June. We learn from the Sandersville Herald that the friends of temperance in Washington county are moving to try the issue with whisky, which has already been fought to a successful result in so many counties in this state. On Friday night, the white and col ored prohibition clubs met together. Encouraging reports were made, new subscriptions received, and pledges to work renewed. The best colored men in the county are taking the lead in the good work. The Perry Home Journal says one gentleman near Perry is going to plant 100 acres in watermelons, and others in that vicinity are going to increase their crops of that luscious fruit. If it is good policy in Houston, why not in Baldwin ? The committee to select a place for holding the next State Fair will meet in Mac on on Feb. 23. Two members of the committee have -expressed themselves as opposed to selecting Macon. Atlanta is the only other place under consideration. In Sandersville, the petition to the ordinary to order an election under the local option law has been signed by all but 20 out 132 white voters in Sandersville, and some of the former number have not yet been seen. We predict victory for the dry men in the pending contest. The Citizen informs us that a negro woman’s clothes caught on fire while burning sedge and she ran 150 yards to a well that had twenty-five feet of water and jumped in it. She was drawn out and though the skin peel ed off her body, her doctor thinks she will recover. This occurred in Burke countv. 1 s A ball which lodged in the thigh of Mr. James Bush, who lives near Toombsboro, in an engagement in 1862, gradually worked down to his knee during the quarter of a century since he was wounded and finally gave him so much trouble that a week or two ago had he it cut out and he is now getting well. We are so sorry to know that Coi. Whitfield, a man of talent, occupy ing the position he does—whose prov ince it ought to be to suppress and discountenance crime and all evils that lead to it. hasallied himself against the interest of his people with those who would fasten this greatest of curses upon the people of Baldwin county.— Irwinton Southerner. doubtless by bis profound sympathy l"s of 1300) for the large number (upwards of poor unfortunates, who are the beneficiaries of this, the grandest and noblest charity of our good old state, all the relations of life, those who knew him best could find no flaw in his life’s record. He hated every thing tiiat was mean, he Idved and honored everything that was good and noble. Any one that was present at his funeral and witnessed the sad solemnity which characterized the large concourse of his fellow citizens who attended his remains, first to the church, and then to the cemetery, would not feut, though a stranger, to if i*>. ee that profcundj£gret andthesense *PMk._--w«at nubile V>ss was the strong Rev. Sam Jones Says: If you think saloons increase the value of your property have one put up next to your residence. Every man who patronizes the bar rooms has given a mortgage on all his possessions, including his soul. The Devil will one day pay off those fellows who are on the fence, with drunken sons-in-law. Some ex-barkeepers are my best friends. They quit the business and went to work for God and humanity. DIED At her residence, in Hancock coun ty, Ga., Mrs. Fannie Franklin, the daughter of James I. King, and Eliz abeth King, aged 40 years, 6 months and 3 days. The subject of this notice was kind and lovely ; from her childhood was kind and sociable with brothers and sisters and all her little associates; obedient to father anu step-mother, ever ready to do their bidding, at night or day, never tiring or allowing one murmuring word to fall from her lips. She joined the Baptist church at Black Springs, in Baldwin county, September, 1865, and was baptized bv Rev. N: B. Billion. She lived adevoteu Christian life up to her death. She was married to Mr. Thomas Franklin, December 7th, 1884, when her true Christian character and wo manly virtues, in the short space of twelve months, were developed in loving and obeying her husband. As step-mother, his children knew but little difference, if any, between her and their own mother. When she was drawing near death she told her friends that death had no terrors to her ; she was ready to go. She left a kind husband, and a loving father, step-mother, brothers and sisters to mourn their loss. The church feels they have lost one of their best mem bers, and unite in sympathy with the bereaved friends, and bow with them to the chastening rod of the Master, and feel that all He does is right. Well done, faithful sister, fought the good fight, kept the faith, The 13-year-old son of Mr. K. H. Walker of Laurens county was killed two weeks since by the accidental dis charge of his gun. His father had just removed the load from the gun, and cautioned him of its danger, but the lad secured other cartridges, and in climbing a fence near the boose the gun was discharged, the load entering his neck, causing his death almost instantly. Professor Wilcox.—A special to the Augusta Chronicle says: Prof. Wilcox, of the University, has quite a large French class among the ladies of the Lucy Cobb and the town ladies. The professor’s genial manner and happy knack of Illustra ting things combined with his per sonal magnetism make it a pleasure as well as well as profit to receive in struction from him. Sam Jones and Sam Small dosed their labors in Cincinnati Sunday evening, 14th, in the midst of the grandest ovation, perhaps, ever offer ed two men in that city. It is estima ted that 25,000 people were turned away from the great hall, for lack of room, and the police were unable to clear the streets of the blockade. An im mense throng followed them to their quarters, singing, “In the sweet by and by.” A Brilliant Wedding, r—On the evening of the 18th, Mr. John F. Holmes, and Miss Julia Bamsay, daughter of Mrs. W. A. Ramsay, were married at the residence of Mr. W. A. Ramsay, on Greene street, Augusta, Ga.. by Rev. W. A. Candler. The occasion was a happy and brilliant one. The presents were numerous and elegant. The supper was elabor ate and superb. We lack space for a full description. Their many friends with congratulations, wish them long lives, prosperity and happiness. Council Chamber, > Feb. 2nd, 1880. > Regular Meeting. Present, His Honor S.

T. C.s8uo sleep 1 that, An amusing incident, say» the Mil- 1 edge ville Recorder, occurred in that city at the auti-probibitiou meeting on Saturday. During Holieitor-Gen. Whitfield’s speech against prohibition Sheriff Ennis asked him if he had not stated on the streets, that one reason of his being an anti-prohibitionist was, that the free use of liquor in creased liis fees as a prosecuting offi cial, and that gentleman gracefully acknowledged the corn. The confes sion called up such a yell that there were many dry men to joke. Sncli conduct in an official will meet the ban of public reprobation. We hold up in proud contrast, the conduct of the Sol. Gen. of the Middle Circuit, Col. O. H. Rogers of Sanders ville. .When the petition was handed this gentleman he promptly signed it. Our Solicitor-General may not go for fees so strongly as Col. Whitfield, but be goes for that which is better, he goes for Duty.—Sandersville Herald. >y the G. W. Caraker, Clerk, in account witli the City Council of Milledgeviile.
