glje §emi-§t£kln fepi.bUean C. W. HANCOCK, fIrUTOH, JLUm PBOPBimTOR. AMEBIDVB, GEORGIA. Wednesday Morning, January 3,1833. Official Organ of Sumter County Official Organ of Schley County. Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. The way bank officers are defalcating is causing no little uneasiness in finan cial circles, and a close watch is kept upon the banks by directors who, under ordinary circumstances, would not trou ble themselves with examining the records. The death of Gambetta will leave quite a void in French politics. Gam betta did more than any one man to abolish the Empire and establish a Re public after the disaster of Sedan. Ho was one of the few Dictators who was willing to surrender his unlimited pow ers, and his place in history will be that of a patriot and reformer. The contest for the Speakership of the next House of Congress is being warmly canvassed, and it is no telling who will secure the nomination in the Democratic caucus. With all this diversity of opinion, however, there is apparently little bitterness, and the choice of the caucus will be the choice of the majority of that body. ♦ ■ The Des Moines Ledger says that begging for religion is what is keeping people away from the churches. But people often let very Binall things per suade them. It is a good thing for a man to educate himself to giving. As a rule cheerful givers are the happiest people, and they make others the hap piest. The churches which give the most are always the most prosperous. A St. Louis paper goes off in this strain in its editorial columns when speaking about an article so much sought after by old and young, rich and poor. He writes about “whisky with a fragrance like tho flowers and a taste like the dreamy melody of Mendelsohn’s music.” No wonder the Cincinnati brewers refused to attend a -convention in St. Louis and talk of following the Chicago brewers by raising the price on drinks. The letters published by Dorsey are proof positive that President Garfield was his fast friend and adviser pending the Presidential struggle of 1880, and knew all the dishonest methods resort ed to by the great Star Route magnets to corrupt the voters and secure doubt ful States for the Republicans, Garfield knew full well that Dorsey was a cun ning, desperate and dishonest man, ready and willing to resort to the most questionable means to accomplish an end. Had the last President been guarded by a high sense of honor, he would have cut loose from Dorsey and relfed upon the people for success. The latest fraud calculated to deceive farmers is explained as follows: A far mer receives a circular through the mails, stating that anew and improved variety of winter wheat has been dis covered, and that seed will be furnish ed him free of charge until a good crop of said wheat is raised, on condition that he sends one dollar to pay for postage and packing, etc. The money is paid and nothing more is heard of it. It is doubtful whether farmers will ever get their “eye teeth cut,” so as not to be victimized by every smooth tongued (windier that comes along. If they wonld only consider the foolishness of the idea that they are to receive some thing for nothing, fewer would be caught in the cleverly laid traps. The Week of Prayer. Tho week of prayer, as recommended by the Evangelical Alliance, will be gin on the 7th of January next. The subject for the different days will be as follows: Sunday, January 7th, sermon —“Christ as the Mediator between God and man;” Monday, praise and thanksgiving; Tuesday, humiliation aud confession; Wednesday, prayer for families; Thursday, prayer for the church universal; Friday, prayer for the nations; Saturday, prayer for miss ions; Sunday, sermons on “The Second Coming of Christ.” Raoul Victorious. Savannah, January I. —The election for direction of the Central Railroad and Banking Company held in this city to day, was the most exciting in the his tory of that corporation. There were two tickets in the field—one headed by Captain W. G. Raoul and the other by General E. P. Alexander. The Raoul ticket was elected by 4,211 ma jority, the total vote being polled 66,- 379. The following is the ticket elec ted: W. G. Raoul, Andrew Low, Ed ward C. Anderson, J. J. Gresham, George Cornwell, Jacob Rauerß, E. H.. Green, H. M. Comer, Abram Minis, Wm. Hunter, John M. Guerard, Geo. J. Mills, W. W. Gordon. • The Departed Year. The old year, 1882, has passed away. Many of our loved ones who were with us twelve months ago, now sleep the sleep of death. Who among us to-day, will be with us twelve months hence? God only knows. The year that has past, was full of wonderful events. Some of those were joyous, others mel ancholy. Glad or sorrowful, they are numbered with the dead. The record of eighteen hundred and eighty-two, is complete; the page is written over, seal ed, and blotted hero and there with tears. We now fold the parchment, and place upon it the great seal of the Past. As the old year departed, the rosy tint heralded the appearance of the new. The stars held their faith ful vigil in the sky, and they seem to wax paler and to wear a more solemn sombre glow, as they make the swift revolution of time, and gaze down in silence upon the shortening span which speaks of death—the life span of the once new, but now dead year. A strong arm swings the scythe, and as the forms iall like the grass, the this tles and flowers of the meadows, the hands of the reaper binds them into sheaves, and they are garnered safely from the storms. The scythe never grows dull, and the reaper’s arm is al ways strong, therefore the harvest lasts from day to day, and from year to year. The year eighteen hundred and eightv two, which has borne upon its brow the remorseless stamp of Time, has passed away beneath the sturdy strokes, its life-current has ceased to flow, and the midnight chimes have pealed forth in doleful tones its departed requiem. We now leave the past, and reflect for a moment upon the present. Eighteen hundred and eighty-three has been duly inaugurated. Let us firmly resolve to make the New Year upon which we have just entered, expiate the faults of the Old Year, and thank our Heaven ly Father, that He has thus given us the opportunity to be better and wiser. Let us resolve to bury what is evil in the past, and to face the future with a noble aim, conscious of our own weak ness, let us look for strength that comes from above. With such a resolution, the past may not return to reproach us, and the future will be a stepping stone to immortality. In conclusion, may the present year be a year of joy and happiness, and may such blessings be bestowed so that they will fall alike upon the heads of all, and may it be the brightest and be6t vouchsafed to mortal man To the numerous readers of the Sum ter Republican, friends and foes, one and all, we send greeting for a Happy New Year, and sincerely wish that the year 1883, may truly be to them, a pleasant, prosptrous and happy one. We take this occasion to extend to the patrons of the Republican our great ful acknowledgment of the patronage so liberally extended to us the laßt twenty-nine years. The Republican enters upon the New Year with brighter hopes than any previous one, based upon the foundation of what it has achieved in the past, we shall be more dilligent in advancing the interests of both city and county, and surrounding counties, thereby desiring the confi dence of the public in the future, as we have received in the past. If the Star Route trials have thus far proved a farce, they have neverthe less thrown much light along the path over which the Routers, uuder the guid ance of Dorsey, Brady & Cos. traveled so many years. Lawyer Bliss, in his speech, mafle two statements that are worth repeating in brief. He said, on Friday, that the records show that dur ing the four and a half years that Mr. Brady held the office of Second Assis tant Postmaster General he had found it necessary to “expedite” one hundred and twenty routes, while in the year and a half since his retirement not a single route has been expedited. The other statement related to a Route that bad been “expedited” from $2,900 to $29,000, although the mail bag car ried over the route started and arrived without a letter, postal or newspaper in it. St. Louis is enjoying the rare excite ment of anew prophet, who proposes to make the city the birthplace of anew religion. His name is Wilson, a watch maker, formerly of Macomb, 111., but for a dozen years a wanderer about the world, he says, by command of the Creator, who provides his food and clothing, and has revealed to him that he is to go into a three days’ prelimi nary trance in St. Louis, to be followed by one of forty days, during which the new creed would be communicated to him. Having secured a room he promptly entered into the three days’ trance, and newspaper reporters, spirit ualists, physicians and curious people are guarding and watching him with great interest. There are said to b no strong external indications of intel lect about him, but bis expression is that of a man burdened with a great thought or great delusion. GENERAL NEWS. Tho Dem&rara sugar yield is ex pected to amount to 140,000 hogs heads. The Sultan has exiled more than a hundred women of his harem on ac count of his fear of assassination. At Carrollton, John I. Williams caught a bine catfish which weighed 75 pounds. Bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, Minn., has issued an edict ptohibiting Roman Catholics from acting as saloon-keep ers. The Mt. Sterling Sentinel says where people are too stingy and mean to pat ronize a county newspaper, it will re fuse to mention their existence, or re cord births, marriages deaths, or any other matter in their families, unless paid for it. Alexander 11. Stephens’ successor forms a striking contrast to the di minutive “Commoner.” Mr. Reese is more than six feet in height, and finely proportioned. He has a large head, with a rosy, fair complexion, set off by two bright blue eyes and a long, well trimmed beard of a sandy brown, a shade lighter than his dark auburn hair. He is very straight and digni fied. The New York Fire Department brags of the quick time made in hitch ing up. The quickest time up was made by Engine Company 27. It was iu a trifle less than three and one-half seconds. Hook and Ladder Company No. 4 did the work in cxectly three and one-half seconds. The slowest time made by any company was eleven and one-half seconds. A curious case came before the Liver pool County Court recently. A pawn broker was sued for the value of two coats which the plaintiff had pawned, and which had been injured by mice eating away the pockets. It having been proved that crumbs had been left in the pockets, it was held that the mice had been attracted by them, and the owner was guilty of “contributory neg ligence,” and so the “pawnbroker tri umphed.” “The appeal of Mr. Mills of Texas, for a Christmas adjournment would have melted a heart of stone,” observed a fellow-Congressman yesterday. “He has to start on the fourth of July from his wild pasture land at the yonder end of the Rio G rande in. order to reach Washington bv the first of December, and he will not know until next year whether he has been re-elected or not. It would be a burning shame to deprive Mr. Mills of the blessed privilege of polishing the shinbone ot a sage hen under his own vine and cactus by the pale light of a buffalo chip fite.”— Ex. A European war is imminent just now. Austria and Russia will he apt to lock horns early in the spring, if not before. Great preparations are going on on both sides. The Czar sends to his Ambassadors for information concerning the political situation iu Europe. He wants to know whether or not it will be healthy for him to venture on his projected tour. In the death record of the past year are found many names eminent in the literary world. Among them are Em erson, Longfellow, Richard H. Dana, Geo. P. Marsh, Rosetti, Trollope, Au erbach, Prof. Draper, Darwin, Pusey, Louis Blanc and Archbishop Tait. While some poor, virtuous, intelli gent women are striving very hard to make enough to buy bread and meat, Mrs. Langtry, who is at least very careless of her fair fame, got $6,000 for the privilege of a photographic franchise, and readily found a fool who paid her s7sojust to recommend a toilet soap. Gen. John B. Gordon found that in intelligent European circles there was especial interest in the South. He says it is generally believed in Europe among the best thinkers on social and financial topics that the South will be come the richest part of the country, and many large capitalists are inquiring after Southern investment. He talked with a great many capitalists who are interested in cotton spinning, and they were emphatic in the statement that they expected to see the time when the South would manufacture the bulk ot the cotton grown in the South. They say that that is the natural tendency of things, and that they cannot hope to put off the clay very long when the South will be able to drive English cot ton goods out of the world’s market. The opinion that gold will flow into this country from Europe next month is based not only on the large surplus of our crops for shipment, but also on the expectation that, since trade is in a more quiet condition, the demand for foreign goods will be less active in 1883 than for the past twelve months, so that imports will fall off. The recent activity in foreign exchange is ascribed to the fact that Europe has been send ing us called bonds for payment. The Democratic banner that was made in 1876 at a cost of SI,OOO, and to go to the State giving the largest Democratic majority will go from the sunny South to the North this year for the first time. Georgia won it in 1876 and proudly kept it for four years, each time giving a larger majority than any State in the Union. In 1880 Texas got it by giving 98,000 majority for Hancock.—This year it comes to New York, the Empire State having given Cleveland 195,000. A countryman stepped into a fruit store and invested in a nickel’s worth of chestnuts. In about half an hour he returned and handed the proprietor one of the nuts, “what does this mean 9 asked the dealer. “Well,” remarked the customer “that is the only sound chestnut I found in the pint and so 1 thought you had put it in by mistake I am an honest man and don’t want to take advantage of a fellow.” It is now estimated that more people were killed in the United States on Christmas Day than the British lost in the recent campaigns in Egypt. GAMBETTA’S DEATH. A Trag'edy With a Woman’s Hand Behind it. Paris, January 1, 1883.—M. Gam betta passed a good night on Saturday night, but he suffered from fatigue aris ing from confinement to bed for so long a time. The exterior inflammation showed a tendency to disappear, never theless an operation was declared to be necessary, aud it was decided that it should be performed on Sunday, but Dr. Lannelongue, who left the patient at seven o’clock was recalled at niue o’clock, a change for the worse having occurred. At one o’clock on this (Monday) morning, the sufferer was much worse, and the imminent crisis was regarded as certain. A few min utes later he died. M. Gambetta was quite conscious to the last. The death agony lasted two hours. M. Spuller, M. Eteenne and Dr. Fienzed were pres ent at the last moment. The physi cians who attended M. Gambetta state that his death was due to pyfemia, eaused by suppressed erysipelas A clot of blood which had formed in the heart suffocated the deceased. A plas ter cast of the face was taken this morn ing. There will be an autopsy to morrow. A state funeral, it is expect ed, will be given the deceased. THE ORIGIN OF THE WOUNDING. This is the story of how Gambetta received the wound from which he died, as told by Paris gossips; Anxious to get up a political salon, M. Gambetta, by advice of his friends, bethought him of marriage. A proper person was found—the daughter of a senator, her self a widow, titled, and with a fortune of 6,000,000. All was arranged and the union was about to be officially an ! nounced, when it got to the ears of his son’s mother, who immediately drove out, and, after a stormy interview, in which he refused to break off with his betrothed, she shot him. Rumor adds that Mme. de X. has withdrawn since that stormy interview, fearing, with some reason, that she, too, might have a visit from the lady with the revolver. DEATHBED SCENES, Paris, January I.—The Republique Francaise states that at six o’clock yesterday evening the doctors present in the room with Gambetta perceived that the abcess had bursted internally. At 10:35 o’clock, Gambetta recovered consciousness sufficiently to thank bis friends for their attention, which he had the perfect calmness to do. His breathing then became more difficult. London, January I. —A Paris dis patch in the second edition of the Times says: The death agony of Gambetta began before midnight, after great suffering, which ceased when the agony began. For nearly twenty hours before Gambetta became unconscious he complained that he was tortured with a pain as if a ball of red-hot iron were inside of him. He had recently become asthmatic, and it was therefore not permissable to ventilate his room properly. Several times during bis illness he spoke to M. Bert, member of the chamber of deputies, upon some matters weighing on bis mind, but al ways briefly. M. M. Ranc and Spul ler wore sommoned to liis bedside for the purpose of receiving a communica tion, but the syncope proceeding death had begun when they arrived. It is believed that the hopeful tone of the bulletin issued during Gambetta’s ill ness was due to the advice of Dr. Char iot, who did not wish the sick man, when papers were read to him, to hear anything that might have a depressing effect on him. HIS LAST WORDS. He died in a state of unconciousness, but in the afternoon he exclaimed, “Je suis perdu. Ie est motile de dissimnler mars lai tant lost.’’ It is useless to disguise it but I have suffered so much that death will be a deliverance.” His death is like a thunder stroke to a be wildered nation. The Republic Francaise, of which lie was proprietor appears in black but gives no details of the final scene. Messrs. Atiand, Proust and Aeclit were present at his death bed. It is stated that he left no political testament. He made a private will on [Saturday. A deep impression is produced here. Pa pers reporting liis death are selling in every street, and crowds are struggling to procure them. Telegrams were sent to President Gievy and other authori ties immediately after the death of Gam betta. A stream of the most noted republi cans is now through the death chamber. The face of the deceased has already become discolored, and is greatly changed. This afternoon a man sell ing copies of the newspaper, Leßadical, containing a scurlous article concern ing Gambetta, was seized by a crowd on the boulepard, his papers were des troyed, and the police had great difficul ty in rescuing him from the excited pop ulace. TIIF. FUNERAL. Paris, January I.—The funeral of Gambetta will be conducted with pure ly civil rites. The family are anxious that the buvial take place at Nice, but friends advise that it be at Paris. In consequence of the high functions that the deceased had filled, the authorities have thought it expedient to place seals on his papers. But few newspapers have appeared to-day in consequencr of its being holiday. None of the articles published so far reflect on tlie political effect of Gambetta.s death, but confine themselves to deploring tlie loss of a statesman who did not despair after Sedan. They need no board of pardons in Kentucky, as the chief Executive dur ing the past year lias pardoned up wards of fifteen hundred criminals and remitted fines to the amount of over $2,000,900. From the way Governor Stephens, of Georgia., is commencing he will rank next among the Govern ors that have such tender hearts as to let base men and women free who have forfeited the right to liberty under law Such a course is prejudicial to the in terests of a State, and will lead to bad results, if continued.
