If the waters which play havoc
with the crops along their course
could be utilized they wou.d be bene
ficial instead of injurious to our coun
ty Manufactories should be erected
on our streams, and factories and
mills should grace the banks of Alco
va, Yellow and South rivers. We
have water power sufficient to manu
facture all the cotton and wool grown
in the state, for the rivers which flow
through our own county come direct
from the mountains and in conse
quence have sufficient fall to drive a
large amount of machinery. There
is room enough on these streams and
sufficient water power to run over
one hundred factories or mills. Capi
talists from abroad should visit this
section and seethe natural advantages
offered for manufacturing purposes,
for certainly it would pay better to
erect factories in the cotton belt than
to have to ship cotton thousands of
miles to have it made into thread
and cloth. One day Newton county
will be a manufacturing center. We
may not live to see it, but necessity
will demaud that our magnificent wa
ter powers be utilized.

LEGISLATIVE,
Ati.anta, Ga., Aug. :*o, 1867.
There has lieen more solid work
done in the Uuiiki for the past ten
days than lm' the same length of time
since 1 have been hero. Many hills
of at local nature lmvo been passed
and several general laws liuvo been
enacted which however are not very
important, for they only change a fell
sections in tlie code and make small
appropriations fur slate institutions.
The senate spent sc vein 1 days last
week on the bill providing for the sale
of tlie State road. Many alvln and
eloquent 1 speeches were made for and
against the sale and when the bill was
acted upon Friday it went down by a
vote of 17 for, to 23 against. There
is a house bill which provides for an
expression from tlie people oil this
question arthc election next fall, and
if a majority of the voters in tlie stale
desire its sale they can so instruct
their re[ r tentative*. Of course
some provision will be made for the
lease of the property in ease the poo
pie do not see proper to offer it for
sale.
It amuses me to watch the move
ments of a few members here who
seem to shape their action and cast
their vote! in accordance with what
they think will prove to lie most pop
ular at home. There are many here who
are working hard for a re-election,
and often when a “knotty question”
comes up for settlement the)’ “get on
tlie fence, over the fieuee ami under
the fence.” As for myself, (if your
readers will pardon what may seem
to be egotism), I have voted on ev
ery question, every bill aud every res
olution, and cast my vote in accord
ance with ivhat J believed to be for
tlie best interest of the state. I have
often been in tlie minority,, but what
little conscience is left me has never
gnawed at my heart-strings and forc
ed me to regret a single vote so far
east.
It might be well to remark, that!
one law on the statute book is being
vi dated almost every day in almost
every city, town and village in this
state, I allude to the section which
prohibits the sale or even the rjhibi
tion of indecent pictures. This evil
has grown to an alarming extent, es
pecially so when it is considered that
nearly every package of cigarettes
j has a partly nude picture in it. We
gtvt the law on this subject and hope
it w ill be looked after by the people
—the moral, law-abiding people —and
enforced by the courts: Sec. 4537 (a)
of the code 1882. “If any person
shall bring, or cause to be brought,
into this-state for sale or exhibition,
or shall sell or offer to sell, or shall
give or offer to give away, or having
possession thereof, shall knowingly
exhibit to another any indecent picto
rial newspaper tending to debauch the
morals, or any indecent or obscene
book, pamphlet, paper, lithograph,
engraving, daguerrotype, photograph,
picture, or any model, cast, instru
ment or article of indecent and ob
scene use, or shall advertise any of
said articles or things for sale, by any
form of notice, printed, wiitten or
verbal, or shall manufacture, draw or
print, any of said articles, with intent
to sell or expose or to circulate the
same, such person so offending shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on
conviction thereof, shall lx; punished
as provided in section 4310 of the
code in this slate.”
A committee of five from the house
and three from the senate left Mon
day morning to investigate certain
charges made against the Insane
Asylum management at Milledgeville.
The committee will do their duty and
if there has been any unnecessary ex
travagance, or if there lias been any
thing done not in accordance with
law the people will be informed of
the fact. This institution is near and
dear to ns all, and I trust nothing of
a crooked nature has transpired there.

What Tbue Merit wirx no.—
The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s
German Syrup within a few years,
has astonished the world. It is with
out doubt the safest and best remedy
ever discovered for the speedy and
effectual cure of Coughs colds and the
severest Dung troubles. It acts on an
entirely different principle from the
usual prescriptions given by Physi
cians, as it docs not dry up a Cough
and leave the disease still in the sys
tem, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in
the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save doc
tor’s bills and a long spell of serious
illness. A trial will convince you of
these facts. It is positively sold by
all druggists and general dealers in
the land. Price, 75 fcts., large bot
tles. —1.
Death of Mi's, Emmett Hoard.
It j'ivr* us jmin to tword the death
of Mrs l'.mmott Heard, nee Miss .Ja
nie (iuitlier, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. \V. 11. Gaither, which <umo oil'
at her father’s home in Gaither’s dis
trict, Newton county, on Friday even
ing lust, August 20tti. The news ol
th is lady’s death brought sorrow to
the hearts of her many warm friends
lu re and elsewhere, for aho was uni
verse)ly popular with all classes of
our people. She was generous, kind
uiml true, the joy of her husband's
peaceful home and the pride of his
true and loving heart. She was a la
day of beauty and eultuie, and her
greatest aim in life seemed to bo to
make those around her happy. She
was an amiable, charitable lady and
her place, in the hearts of her bus
bund, parents, kindred and friends
cau never lie filled on this earth. We
tender our tenderest sympathy to the
bereaved relatives and friends of the
deceased in the hour of tlnsr sore be
reavment, and while their poor hearts
are torn and bleeding there should he
some consolation in the blessed assur
ance that her pure spirit has passed
to that better land where “thereshall
lie no more death, neither sorrow nor
crying, neither shall there be any
more pain,” but life and joy everlast
ing. May God give them strength
to hear the cruel blow with Christian
resignation.
