Augusta, Ga.
pff' Our country cotemporariea will con
fer a favor by giving the above a few inser
tions.
'iKiTORTANT to Liquor Dealers.—
Adjitioual instructions have been issued
by the authorities at Washington rela
tive to the sale of liquor. It is for the
in%nnation and guidance of liquor
deApts in Augusta and vicinity that we
give the followiug facts : No person or
persons will be allowed to sell, or offer
lor sale, any distilled spirits previous to
its being inspected and marked by the
proper officer. Persons selling, or offer
ing for sale, liquors without the pre
scribed brand, subject themselves to a
very heavy penalty, besides the forfeiture
of the liquor. Dealers having fifty gal
lons, or over, can have it promptly in
spected by notifying the Collector of In
ternal Revenue, 274 Broad street, and
paying to the General Inspector the fee
authorized by law. It is also necessary
that dealers should give evidence that
the Revenue Tax thereon has been paid.
Where the law is violated in any of
these particulars, the plea of ignorance
as to its existence will not be enter
tained, nor will it save forfeiture.
Liquors found without the Inspector’s
brand, after the Ist of November, will be
seized and forfeited to the Government.
Those who withhold notice from the Col
lector for sixty days will not be allowed
to sell the liquor. It is, therefore, to the
interest of dealers in liquor to comply
immediately with the letter and spirit of
the law. It is also unlawful for any
person to change the character of any
spirits after they have been inspected,
without first notifying the Collector of
the fact, that he may do as the law di
rects.
The instructions, of which the above
is a summary, are of the most positive
kind, and cannot be disregarded.
Athletic Games.—The old Roman
custom of public games, including gym
nastic exercises and athletic amuse-
ments, was, in some respects, a very
good one, tending, as it did, to promote
the muscular powers and the strength of
those who engaged in them, as well as
to provide a useful, healthful and ra
tional system of recreation. In this
view of the subject we favor the organi"
station of Cricket Clubs, Base Ball
Clubs, Croquet Clubs, Chess Clubs,
Turn Vereities, and other similar asso
ciations. They foster a social and fra
ternal feeling among our young men,
and, if properly conducted, will keep
them away from haunts of vice and
debasement, while promoting health and
strength.
We have here a Musical Association
nnd a Base Ball Club. The old Quoit
Club is about to wind up its affairs and
sell out. Pity. It should have been
kept tip. Now, in addition to these or
ganizations, we should have a Cricket
Club, a Regatta Club, a Chess Club,and
a Turn Verein. These will all do good
in their way, and afford the means of
rational amusement to our citizens.
Give them a trial, as the season tor
them is approaching.
se.—A few days ago the Charles
rier told how, during a terrible
beautiful little babe, in swad
dbiijr hes, was left at a certain gate
in that city, and was afterwards taken in
charge by the Sisters of Mercy. As soon
as this intelligence came to the ears of
the people, certain ones made applica
tion for the little unknown. Elated,
doubtless, at the idea of becoming the
babe's pa by adopting it, a gentleman
sends our associate word that he need no
louger boast of the innocents here, and
particularly those in his district, for in
Charleston they so much abound that
they are given away.
One question for that gentleman:—
Ifa(r)ve (y)ou the treasure?
