FOR CONGRESS 3rd DISTRICT;
JUDGE C. F. CRISP,
OF SUMTER.
Election Tuesday, November Ttli, 1882.
APPOINTMENTS.
Charles F. Crisp, Democratic
nominee for Congress from the Third
Congressional District, will address
his fellow-citizens at the following
named time and places. All are in
vited to attend:
Vienna, Friday, Oct. 13.
Americus, Monday, Oct. IC.
Eastman, Tuesday, Oct. 17.
Mcßae, Thursday, Oct. 19.
Mt. Vernon, Monday, Oct. 23.
Montezuma, Wednesday, Oct. 25.
Lumpkin, Friday, Oct. 27.
Preston, Monday, Oct. 30.
Ellaville, Wednesday, Nov. 1.
Oglethorpe, Thursday, Nov. 2.
Leesburg, Saturday, Nov. 4.
Remember that lion. C. F. Crisp will
speak at the Court house on next Mon
day. Let every one who has an inter
est in good government come out to hear
him.
The Slate educational fund of sl,-
000,000 for educating the southern
negroes will soon be utilized. A com
mittee of trustees will confer with Dr.
A. G. Haygood with a view of his be
coming general agent of the fund.
From all indications revealed by the
official returns, it is probable that
Mr. Stephens’ majority in the State
will be 65,000. This majority will
throw a wet blanket over the hopes of
the Independent candidates for Congress
and work their defeat in every Con
gressional district.
Remember that next Monday is the
day for Hon. C. F. Crisp to meet the
people of Sumter county and address
them. We hope our people will bear
this in mind and turn out. He deserves
a good crowd and will make an interest
ing speech. Let every Democrat in the
county come out and hear him.
Concerning the recent Democratic
triumph in Georgia, the St. Louis Re
publican speaks thus sensibly: “The
r6sult~of the campaign rri-rjrewrgfa,L
election of Alexander 11. Stephens Gov
ernor, and the success of the entire
Democratic ticket, was so much a mat
ter of course that the event attracts lit
tle attention. Its significance is that
.it shows there is no dangerous disaffec
tion in the Democratic party in the
South. That section has so prospered
under the Democratic local government
and enjoyed so profound a season of
peace and good order, that no headway
could be made against the party which
had brought the people these blessings.
The surest way to retain power is for
the successful party to offer the people
the substantial blessings of good gov
ernment. And this is precisely the
basis of Democratic supremacy in the
South.”
Southern Cultivator for October.
This standard agricultural journal for
October is at hand, with its usual va
riety of interesting and valuable read
ing. In its columns are discussed every
thing pertaining to Agriculture, Horti
culture, Stock, Poultry, etc., by the best
writers of the South. The publishers
endeavor to make it the medium through
which the thoughts and ideas of intelli
gent farmers can be communicated to
each other.
This long established journal has
done an incalculable amount of good.
For forty-three years it has been a visi
tor to the fire-side of Southern farmers
and has carried there naught but what
is good and profitable. Not given to
political discussion it has carried this
message—improve your farms, beautify
your homes, rear the children to love
the land of their birth, grow prosperous
and be happy.
The leading article in the October
number is the address of dudge Furman,
of Baldwin county, Ga., delivered be
fore the State Agricultural Society.
His portrait accompanies the article and
the judge has the appearance of a cul
tured and intelligent gentleman. That
he looks young, almost boyish, need not
deter any one from giving careful heed
to his words, for he has proven himself
a practical and progressive farmer and
has demonstrated that the worncut (so
called) Georgia land can ho made to
produce a bale and a half of cotton per
being, brought from extreme sterility
to this productive condition in four
years handling.
Every farmer in the South should
send one dollarand fifty cents to James
P. Harrison Cos., Atlanta, Ga., fora
years subscription to this standard
monthly. ,
The News from Ohio.
The Democratic victory and heavy
majority in Ohio show the early -re
sult of Mr. Stephens’ prediction of a
grand Democratic freshet which would
sweep over the whole country, and, as
a matter of consolation to the stalwart
sufferers at Washington, may be desig
nated “a general thing.” The official
returns are not yet all in, but the re
liable estimates of Democratic journals
and the concessions of the Republican
Committee, place the majority for the
Democratio State ticket and the Dem
ociatic Congressional gains at remark
able and unexpected figures. Specu
lation has indulged in figures as high
as thirty-five thousand majority against
a Republican majority in the. State
two years ago over twenty-four thou
sand. The lowest figures named even
by the Republicans give 20,000, while
the Democrats will have it no less than
25,000, majority. Twenty-one Con
gressmen were elected, and of this num
ber fifteen are conceded to the Demo
crats. This about reverses the result
in the last election in which fifteen
Republicans and five Democrats went
to the House. Ohio gains one Con
gressman by the new apportionment
and the delegation in the next Hous„
will stand, 15 Democrats and 6 Re
publicans. Frank Hurd appears among
the more prominent and popular re
turned Democrats, and Iveifer the
present speaker of the House is
most prominent on the Republican
side.
The effect of the news from Ohio
and also from West Virginia, where
three Democrats and one Republican
are elected to Congress, will be simply
immense on the elections soon to follow
in Pennsylvania, New York, Connec
ticut and Indiana. The victory which
is no less decisive in Ohio than in
Georgia is a beacon on the heights, and
will light the Democracy to victory
over the whole country. New York is
expected to roll up 50,000 majority, and
Pennsylvania will as certainly lift the
Democratic banner over the warring
factions of Republicanism in the old
Keystone State. Indeed, it shall be no
surprise to see such a tidal wave roll
over the Union as will elect a Demo
cratic President in 1884 by a majority
not heard of since the great Democratic
triumph in 1800, when Thomas .Jeffer
son with his clarion cry against cen
tralization and empire swept the oppo
sition from power and buried the ene
mies of free government under the whirl
wind of public opinion.
Supreme Court Decision.
Oliver vs. Mayor, etc., of Americus.
Complaint, from Sumter. Officers.
Municipal corporations.
Jackson, C. J.—The charter of the
city of Americus gives to the mayor and
city council power to appoint police
officers, to regulate their election, fees,
bonds and duties, and to remove them
from office for a breach, neglect or in
capacity to discharge such duties, at
their discretion. The city ordinances
provided that policemen should be elect
ed annually to serve for a year or until
their successors should be elected and
qualified, and that they might be fined
or removed from office by the council
for malpractice, incompetency, etc., of
which the mayor and council should
be the sole judges. Another ordinance
provided that the mayor and council
should annually elect such policemen
as they might deem necessary, who
should serve during their pleasure,with
power in them to increase or diminish
the number in thir discretion:
Held, that for a malfeasance by a
policeman,such as committing a battery
upon a citizen with his billet, the muni
cipal authorities might act either judic
ially by regular trial, or ministerially
by suspending or discharging him. In
the former case, their judgment wou]d
be conclusive on him; in the latter it
would not. 56 Ga. 318; 60 Id. 109.
(a.) The court having erred in his
charge on this point, anew trial was
properly granted.
Judgment affirmed.

Gen. Pliil Cook Speaks.
Dooly Vindicator.
An interesting, solid patriotic ad
dress was delivered in the court house
to-day at 12 o’clock just after court
adjourned for dinner, by General Phil
Cook. His address was quite oppor
tune, and directly to the point. He
said he iutended to support the nominee
of his party,he spoke in complimentary
terms of J udge Crisp and advised the
voters of the county to turn out in full
force on the 7th of November and give
Crisp a rousing majority:—such a ma
jority as they had given him years pre
vious. He said there was no race be
tween Judge Crisp and Judge Harrell,
but for the good of the party it was the
duty of every democrat to lay aside his
business one day, and go to the polls
and cast his vote for the nominee of the
party. Gen. Cook is a sound and
tine democrat and is very popular
among the people of his district.
Some postmaster in the far West
having refused to receive coins of a
less denomination than five cents, in
payment for postage stamps, were com
plained of to the department at Wash
ington. Tiie result was the issuing of
an order calling attention to regulation
making all coins legal tender for post
age stamps in sums of 25 cents and
less, and calling upon all postmasters
in the country to observe their instruc
tion.

The Mill will never Grind Again.
Up the rough memory’s deep ravine
I see a picturesque old mill, the water
dancing and gleaming in the sun rays,
the creamy water lilies, the old time
friends, I hear the brooks old song, and
the whip-poor-will’s plaintive cry, all
sweetly mingled in low soft tones troop
ing up the misty way. Have you ever
stood by the side of an old mill and
watched the water as it foamed and
splashed over the great wheel, drop in
long white sprays on the water beneath,
anddrift down the stream through thick
ly wooded forests, and by the side of
flowery banks, on, and on and on, never
more to return? Never more to gladen
the bright eyes of little children loiter
ing on the sunny banks. Never more
to fall in beautiful long silvery sprays
and turn the ponderous wheel. Never
more to grind the golden corn and fur
nish bread to the children of men.
“The mill will never grind again with
the water that has passed.” The old
miller maybe was a genial old man, a
good old man, with hair and beard as
white as the sprays of water that glist
ened in the sun rays, as they foamed
and splashed over the mill wheel. None
labored harder than lie, all the live
long day he sang and worked the hours
away. As lie stood by the hopper and
poured in the yellow corn and reaped
a rich harvest, he would pour forth
Words of kindness into the listening
ears of little children and sturdy men.
Words that gladdened the hearts of
many sad ones. The golden years he
knew were shipped by power, intellect
and strength .may not, cannot last.”
To-day was his—to-morrow might not
be. “The mill will never grind again
with the water that has passed.” Per
chance a stately oak tree stood just by
the side ot the mill door, its broad
branches cast a shadow l in which the
old miller loved to sit. Lip among the
top most branches, a bird had built its
nest—a mocking bird—all day long it
trilled its sweet notes of praise to Him
who had made the tree. The miller sat
in the shade and watched the rippling
water, the grotesque shadows, and as
he listened to the song of the little
brown bird, his heart too welled up in
praise to the God who had made the
bird, whose song cheered him in his
lonely hours. To-day was theirs, the
bird sang, the miller listened, happy
bird, contented miller. “Themill will
never grind again with the water that
has passed.” How often had jovfnl
girls and brave young men glided in
light batteaux over the water of the
dear old mill pond. The harmony of
some life perhaps was jarreil
an occasion by light words spoken by
light lips. Aud ii in after years some
old forgotten tone rise and wake their
dying youth and with a great heart
throb they remember tiie light words
spoken and know without the shadow
of a doubt that the sweet lost tone can
never be regained, how solemn will be
the recollection. To-day was theirs to
make or mar a life, the to-morrow never
came. “The mill will never grind
again with the water that has passed.”
Thus onr life boats go down tiie stream
of time, one by one; tiie wheels drag
useless on and slow, clogged by selfish
ness, pride and coldness. We do not
strive to make our acts pure and white
like the sprays of water that fall over
the mill wheel. We do not dispense
words of kindness to bleeding hearts
like that old miller who sat in the tree’s
shadow. We are not grateful like the
little brown bird who warbled its sweet
notes up among the branches of the
great oak tree. To-day is onrs for
good, to-morrow may not be. The mill
will never grind again with tiie water
that lias passed.” A.
Dawson, Oct. 13th, 1882.
ARE WE IN DANGER ?
A Prediction that the Comet will t all
Into the Snn, and Ulow Us all
Higher than Uiildcroy’s Kite.
New York, Oct., 9.—The World’s
cable letter from London says:
“The comet is all the talk in scien
tific circles at present, and I may say
that our celestial visitant is being re
garded witli considerable apprehension.
Mr. Richard A. Proctor, who denied
that it was the comet of 1843 and 1880,
finds that he made a mistake in his
calculations, and so lias withdrawn his
statement. More cautious astronomers
than he have no doubt of tiie identity
of the comet, and believe that it will
return at the latest in October, 1883,
and then fall into the sun, with results*
which will enable you to dispense with
the future publication of the World.
I am assured that this is the opinion
of the most eminent scientists of the
day—Mr. C. Piazzi Smyth, theclever,
if eccentric astronomer royal for Scot
land, in particular having male no
secret of his belief.
Washington, D. 0., Oct., 9.—Prof.
Skinner, of the National Observatory,
was interviewed this evening in regard
to the London prophecy concerning the
comet. He said that the prediction
from London may come to pass about
the time indicated, but he would not
like to vouchsafe a prediction of his
own until he has had an opportunity
to make further observations. He
thought that if the present comet was
the one of 1843, or 1880, it was very
evident it was out of its orbit, and may
fall into the sun, but with what result
he was unwilling to hazard any predic
tion.

Wasiiinoton, Oct. 11.—Dispatches
from Columbus, Ohio, received at 2:30
a. m., report that the best information
to be gained from both headquarters
gives the Republicans the third, eighth,
eleventh, fourteenth seventeenth, eigh
teen and nineteenth districts—seven
in all. The first, second, fourth, fifth,
tenth, thirteenth,sixteenth, and twenty
first are conceded to the Democrats,
leaving the sixth, seventh, ninth,
twelfth, fifteenth and twentieth in
doubt.
Cincinnati, October 11.—The En
quirer claims fifteen Congressmen in
Ohio. As to majorities it ventures no
estimates, but refers freely, editorially,
to its telegrams. It says the victory is
decisive and overwhelming, and that it
disposes of Foster in politics. It as
sumes that the campaign was dishonest
on the part of the Republicans, because,
as it alleges, they talked one way on
the liquor question in the country and
another way in the cities. It says the
result is significant beyond mere local
questions—that tbe Democrats, after
being cheated out of the Presidency in
1876 came near electing their man in
1880, and that this, and probably sim
ilar votes in New York and Pennsyl
vania, are prophetic of a Democratic
victory in the next Presidential cam
paign.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette, (Republican) from Columbus,
gives tlie following as the probable list
of Congressmen elected: Democratic—
First district, John F. Follett; second
district, Isaac M. Jordan; fourth dis
trict, Benjamin F. Lofevre; fifth,George
11. Seney; tenth, Frank 11. Hurd; thir
teenth, George L. Converse; sixteenth,
Beriah Wilkins, twenty-first, Martin
A. Foran —total eight. Republican—
Third district,Emanuel Schultzjeighth,
J. Warren Keifer; eleventh, J. W.
McCormick; fourteenth, R. A. Horr,
seventeenth, J. T. Updesgraff; eigh
teenth, W. McKinney, jr.; nineteenth,
Ezra B, Taylor; twentieth, A. S. Mc-
Clure-total eight. This leaves live
districts doubtful. Of these it is prob
able tnat James E. Campbell, Demo
cratic, elected in the seventh district
and Ilart, Republican in the twelfth.
Columbus, 0., October 11.—Seven
hundred and sixty-three precincts show
a net Democratic gain of 24,380 indi
cating a Democratic majority in the
State of 35,000.
Cincinnati, 0., October 11.—Com
plete but unofficial returns from Hamil
ton county show the following Demo
cratic majorities: Newman, secretary of
state, 10,650; Okey, Judge of the su
preme court, 9,809; Weibel, board of
public work, 9,754; Hawkins, sheriff,
111; Dalton, clerk, 937; Pugh, prose

gress, first district, 839; .lordan, Con
gress, second district; 1,763. T lie Re
publicans claim the election of Ueres
ford for sheriff.
Columbus, October 11.—Additional
election returns are coming in slowly.
As the Republicans are getting no more
favorable advices and are conceding
everything hut a few Congressmen, the
estimates this morning put the Demo
cratic majority in the State at 25,000,
and make the Congressional delegation
stand fifteen Democrats to six Repub
licans. The election of McKinley in
the eighteenth district and of Robinson
in the ninth arc in grcat|doubt, and the
Republicans must carry both to get six
Congressmen. A peculiar feature in
tbe contest is that while the Republi
cans were championing temperance, the
prohibition vote shows a great increase,
and it is estimated lias a larger percent,
of gain than tbe Democratic.
Cincinnati, October 11.—A special
dispatch to the Commercial says Henry
S. Morrey, Republican, is elected to
Congress in the seventh district by 29
majority.
Columbus, 0., October 11.—The re
turns to-day from the State election of
Tuesday have been meagre and no sys
tematic effort is made to figure a ma
jority on the State ticket. The Demo
crats, however, claim the State by
25,000 or more, though the Republicans
think the majority will not exceed
20,000. The Congressional delegation
will probably stand six to fifteen in
favor of the Democrats. The Demo
crats claim the election of Follett in the
first district, Jordan in the second, M ar
ray in the third, Lefevre in the fourth,
Seney in tlie fifth, Dill in the sixth,
Hurd in the tenth, Neal in the twelfth,
Converse in the thirteenth, Geddes in
the fourteenth, Warren in tiie fifteenth,
Wilkins in the sixteenth, Wallace in
the eighteenth, Page in the twentieth,
Goran in the twenty-first, and concede
the election of Morey in tiie seventh,
Keifer in the liglith, Robinson in the
ninth, McCormick in the eleventh,
UpdegralF in the seventeenth and Tay
lor in the nineteenth.
Washington, October 11. — The
following telegram was received at the
Republican headquarters here to-night.
“ Colnmbus , Ohio, October 11. — To
D. 11. Henderson Secretary. Things
look worse than last night. Wo are
sure of hut five districts. Our candi
date is defeated in the sixth Congres
sional district, and also Hartin in the
twelfth and Davis in the fit teeth.
Robinson is elected in the ninth and
Morey in the seventh. McClure
(Democrat) in the twentietli is defeated.

WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION.
Wheeling, W. Va., October 11.—
The returns show increased gains for
the Republcans in this Congressional
district. General Goff’s majority for
Congress is established as high as 1,000
by sanguine Republicans. The Deni
ocrats concede his election. The re
turns from the second district also give
large gains for the Republicans, but
not enough to elect John W. Mason,
the Republican candidate. He tele
graphs that he is beaten by about 500.
Gibson, Democrat, is said to be elected
by 1,000 to 1,500 in the fourth district.
Kenna, Democrat, is doutless re-elected
in the Kanawha district.
General Presentments
OF THE
Grand Jury of Sumter County
FIRST WEEK.
GEORGIA —Sumtek Countv.
We, the jury empanneled for the first
week of October Term, 1882, of Sumter
Superior Court, beg leave to make the
following general presentments:
Through our committees we have ex
amined the public buildings, the roads,
bridges, poor house and farm, and the
various offices, books, accounts and
vouchers of the various officers of the
county and report as follows.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The Court house we find inadequate
to the public necessities, as well as un
worthy of the people of tbe wealth and
civilization of Sumter county. We
therefore recommend that the Commis
sioners of the county take such steps
looking to an early disposition of the
Court house and square belonging there
to and the erection of another more
commodious and substantial edifice on
a more eligible and quiet plat in the
city of Americus. We find some re
pairs needed to the fence around tbe
Court bouse Square, which we recom
mend the County Commissioners to
have done if the exchequer of the
county will permit.
We find the jail kept in a manner
looking to the comfort and security of
the prisoners. We find some needed
repairs, but as this has been mentioned
by former grand jurors, and no atten
tion paid to if, we refrain from men
tioning it hero.
POOH HOUSE AND FARM.
We find the inmates of tbe poor house
to be twenty; one outside drawing ra
tions, she being blind and very old,
her daughter looks after her welfare.
There are ten (10) whites, andten(lo)
colored inmates. The buildings in the
main are good. The roof of one of the
buildings need being re-covered. We
find the inmates well provided for and
well satisfied.
OX THE BOOKS OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
There can be no exception taken to
the neatness and care bestowed by the
officers in the several departments of
Ordinary, Sheriff,Clerk Superior Court,
Clerk County Court, Tax Receiver,
Collector and Treasurer. As to the
books of tbe Receiver and Collector we
feel authorized in saying they are un
exceptional, both in neatness and ac
curacy. •
nv.xin\AMD iininriFs.
The roads and bridges throughout
the county are in bad condition, and
wo feel it to be our duty to present both
the County and Road Commissioners
for neglect of duty, and recommend
that his Honor, the Judge of the Snpe
perior Court, have them notified of
these presentments as the law provides.
We further , recommend that if said
Commissioners shall have performed
their duties in the putting of said roads
and bridges in the condition required by
law, by the next regular term of the
Superior Court for this county, then
this presentment to be null and void,
otherwise of full force and effect.
On account of the cattle stealing
now so prevalent in the county, and if
possible to prevent the same, we recom
mend to the Mayor and City Council
of Americus to rigidly enforce such of
any Ordinance they may have regard
ing the registering of the brands and
marks of cattle or beef offered for sale
in the city; and we further recommend
to stock owners to register their marks
and brands with the Ordinary of the
county as provided by law.
We find the hooks ot the Justices of
the Peace of the 75Gth and 884th Dis
tricts in good style and entries correct.
The Justices of the other Districts of
the county have not presented their
dockets as the law requires fer examina
tion, owing, we think, to a misunder
standing ot the law. J. F. Wood, N.
P. and Ex-Officio J. P. of the 29th
District, G.M., tendered his resignation
to the Ordinary, which was accepted
and Dr. W. B. Harrison recommended
as a suitable person to fill the vacancy.
We have recommended J. L. Wilkin
son as a suitable person for the office of
N. P. and Ex-Officio J. P. of the old
16th land district.
We recommend that the pay of jurors
and the officers of Court, be and remain
the same for the next year.
FINANCES.
We find cash on hand April
11th, 1882; $2,256 14
Cash paid by Collector, 1,150 93
Cash by County Court,.. .. 101 75
$3,508 82
Paid out for County
Court, $ 420 00
Other purposes,.... 2,756 96
sustained by prop
er vouchers.
$3,176 96
Leaving in Treasury $B3l 86
We find tiie. indebtedness of
the county to be to various
parties $1,143 08
We cannot commend too highly our
county treasurer for the reitnras and
accuracy of his books.
Wo congratulate opr fellow citizens'
upon the prosperity of the comity and
return our thanks to the Giver of all
good therefor.
In conclusion we return our thanks
to Judge J. A. Ansley, and Solicitor-
General C. B. Hudson for kindness and
courtesies tendered to the body.
We request the publication of these
General Presentments in each of the
city papers.
