Official Organ of Lee County- Official Organ of Webster County. FOR CONG lIESSMA N-A T-LAEG E: THOMAS HARDEMAN', of Binn. 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. Guerry & Son; Hinton &, Mathews, for plaintiff in error. Hawkins dr Hawkins,for defendants. 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. COMMUNICATED. 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. . THE ELECTIONS. DEMOCRATS CARRY OHIO OVEItAVHE LMINGLY. And Elect Fifteen Out of Twenty-One Cuegremnen.. Figure, con ceded to be Correct by 15cpnblicnus West Virginia. Cnrricd by the Bern oci'&ts, but by lmith Ucduccd Ma. jorittes. 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 cuting attorney, 2,636; Muscroft, cor oner, 2,644; Robenstein, recorder,2,72B; Kuhl, couuty commissioner. 3,177; Gosarove. county solicitor, 3,555; Fow ler, board of control, 3,SOU; Applegate, infirmary director, 381; Follett, Con 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. [Signed] “G. K. Nash.” 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. JAMES 11.
