Icmi-IJfeMg C. W. HANCOCK, gjjrron. ajstd pbopeibtob. AMJEKHHIB, GEORGIA. Wednesday Morning. January 17,1’83. OfficTaMJrgan of Sumter County Official Organ of Schley County. Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. CITY PRINTING. We understand that the City Coun cil at its meeting on Monday night last was kind enough to vote the city printing to the Sumter Republican. We take this occasion of returning thanks to that body, for the compli ment. As we promised to fill out our part of the obligation if it was awarded to this office, we hereby renew the promise and hope the relations between us for 1883, will be pleasant and con fidential. Hoping no appalling catas trophe by fire, flood, famine or pestilence may dissolve theb onds of contract now existing, we remain yours for 1883. A Proclamation. In another column will be found the proclamation of Gov. Stephens, re sponsive to a communication to him from the New England manufactures office, inviting the State ol Georgia, through its executive, to make an ex hibit of its agricultural, and other pro ducts and resources, at the third annual fair of the Institute, which will be open ed the firt week in September, 1883. The same offer has been made to all the Governors of the several States, South and West, who may desire settlers from the North. This opportunity, affords occasion to show what inducements in field, garden, climate and manu factores each possesses, so that emi grants may be able to choose advisably. For tbe purposes indicated, Governor Stephens has appointed Hon. .1. I. Henderson, Commissioner of agricul ture, to take charge of all correspon dence, and specimens of agricultural, mineral, or manufactured goods, aris ing from this invitation. All citizens are invited who have specimens to take due notice, and govern their acts ac cordingly. The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta Evening Acres writes: ‘‘Some* time ago an advertisement appeared in one of onr daily papers stating that on receipt of 50c a book no new mar ried couple should be without, would he sent carefully sealed so as to escape observation, and that all communica tions would be strictly confidential, etc. Some of the town boys bit, and sent in their half dollars and in return got copies of the New Testament. (Re vised Edition. *•" 1 Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, in an interview, says that he does not believe that either Mr. Carlisle or himself can defeat Mr. Randall tor the speakership ot the forty-eighth congress, and for this reason he is willing to withdraw as a candidate if Mr. Carlisle will, and centre on Mr. Morrisson, of Illinois, whom he thinks is the only man that can defeat Randall; or if this is refused he is will ing to leave it to a vote of the Kentucky delegation whether Mr. Carlisle or him self shall withdraw. The Senate should speedily pass the bill introduced by Mr. Ingalls and re lieve their minds of the dreadful night mare of a government without a Presi dent. It provides that the inability of the President shall be ascertained by statements in writing by two heads of departments to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who shall, within ten days thereafter, determine summar ily the question and certify the same to the Vice-President, or other person en titled to the succession. The public debt was reduced over $15,000,000 in December. When we take in consideration the heavy drafts upon the treasury during the month, it would be an easy matter to cancel the war debt before tho commencement of the next century, and yet make gener ous appropriations for public improve ments. We are a growing people, and all that makes a nation is at our com mand, and it is our own fault unless it is used to make us advance to the front as the greatest among the nations of the earth. It is stated that Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, is one of the most extravagant liveiß in the country, keeping up three magnificent establishments at an ex pense of over SIOO,OOO per year With all his high,, living, however, he is a true reformer, an able debator, and consistent Democrat. His means came independent of official influence, and he is recognized among the most honest, upright and deserving of Senators. It is not wealth in itself that corrupts and serves to make men arrogant, domineer ing and aggressive, it is the manner in which they Use such means. Southern Cultivator for January The January number of this stand ard Agricultural publication is on our table. It is, perhaps ahead of any oth er number in general interest. In its pages are treated all matters pertaining to the success, comfort and happiness of the farmer. The publishers are do ing what nearly all the proprietors of Southern publications have failed to do, namely: employing the host writers in the South to contribute to its col umns. And they are thus making the most entertaining Agricultural journal ever furnished the Southern people. The January number has the usual able contributions from Dr. Jones—his “Thoughts for the Month” and the en tertaining “Inquiry Department;” arti cles on Preparing Cotton for Market, Crop Lien Law, Railroads and Right of Way, Farm Tenants, Intensive Farming, Jute in the South, The Sugar Cane Question, Stock and Dary De partment, Bill Arp’s Inimitable Letter, four full pages of Correspondence directly from the Farmers, Biographical Sketches and Portraits of Senator Bar row and Maj. Campbell Wallace, a full Discussion of Fish Culture, and the Patrons of Husbandry Department. The enumerated articles are only a small portion ot the contents. It is a paper well worth the price, $1.50 per year, or ten copies one year for SIO.OO. Address Jas. P. Harrison & Cos., At lanta, Ga. Judge Briggs decision declaring that a person who did not believe in the ex istence ot a God, or if he did, had no idea that He would inflict future pun ishment for false swearing, was not qualified to testify as a witness in court, has attracted much attention in the press, and is calling out considerable comment. We believe, using the lan guage of a contemporary, that a truth ful man will tell the truth anyhow, oath or no oath. A liar will tell the truth when the truth serves his purpose, oath or no oath. He will lie under oath, as every lawyer and judge is aware, if lying suits his purpose. Per jury is as common as rumor, and it is one of the most difficult things to bring home to the man. Trials for perjury are common enough. Convictions are not common. When the law was changed so as to permit parties to tes tify in their own behalf, the first blow at judicial oaths was struck. The only reason why this privilege was not enjoyed before was that it was sup posed to invite perjury. In extending it to parties in court, the law substan tially says that whether a witness lies or tells the truth is a matter for the jury to determine. And so it is. No witness ever perjured himself that, judge and lawyers and experienced jury men did not know it. To prevaricate is to lie. To suppress the truth is to lie. To dodge a dangerous admission is to lie. All these things are done every day in our courts, and everybody knows that they are done. “Tall oaks from little acorns grow; large streams from little fountains flow,” runs the couplet. An interest ing case to illustrate its applicability occurred recently in Atlanta, Georgia, where four young boys started a few years ago selling newspapers. They made ten cents apiece the first morning they went to work, and for two winters thereafter they went, half clad, through the snow and sleet in the freezing dawn, on their morning rounds. From the very first they saved a certain per centage of their earnings, which they invested in Atlanta real estate. The oldest of them is now eighteen years of age and the youngest twelve. They have supported an invalid father and their mother all the time and now have property worth considerably over $5,- 000, houses from which the rent is S2O a month, and S2OO stock in a building and loan association. They have edu cated themselves the meanwhile, re maining from school this year in order to work the harder and build a home for their parents. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, has pro posed an amendment to the constitu tion of the United States touching Presidential elections. It extends the Presidential term to six years, makes the President ineligible to succeed him self, and abolishes the Electoral Col lege, allows the people to vote directly for the President and Vice President, each to have as many votes as at pres ent, to be divided in exact proportion to the popular vote cast for each candi date. We approve of all these changes except lengthening the Presidential term. No man ought to be permitted to fill the office of chief magistrate of this country longer than four years. We have received the Cincinnatti Weekly News, the national democratic paper recently established in Cincin natti, and gladly place it on our ex change list. The News is a mammoth eight page sheet of sixty-four columns, well and brilliantly edited, and no doubt w : ll win success. The price of the weekly is $1 per annum. The Pennsylvania pig iron men are opposed to a reduction ot the tariff. GENERAL NEWS, In a hunt near Selma, Alabama, a few days ago, five men killed 229 part ridges. Sixty-nine persons were pardoned by Gov. Foster, of Ohio, during the paßt year. The wholesale and jobbing trade of Richmond, Virginia, is estimated at $50,000,000 annually. The German press agree that in the death of Gambetta Germany has got rid of a powerful enemy. Birmingham, Alabama, an old corn field in 1871, is now a city of 12,000 inhabitants. Elisha A. Allen, the Hiwaiian Min ister, died in a fit at President Arthur’s new year’s reception on Monday. San Francisco has had an unprece dented snow storm. Sleighs, the first ever seen in the city, were out. Charles W. Crockett, a grandson of the famous Davy Crockett, has just been elected sergeant-at-arms for the senate of Tennessee. Grover Cleveland was on Monday inaugurated Governor of New York in the most quiet and simple manner— that is, in true Democratic style. Kentucky has 258,180 youths often years of age and .upward, who cannot read, and 348,392 who are unable to write. The Virginia wheat crop is in fine condition and the farmers are counting on an abundant harvest next year. The bill to repeal the lien law has been defeated in the South Carolina state senate, a motion to stiike out the enacting clause having prevailed by a vote of 18 to 15. An Alabama Judge decided that a man who puts his satchel on a seat on the cars reserves that seat—unless the man who moves it is bigger than he is. Flour within the last ten years more than trebbled as an article of export from the United States, rising from 2,- 514,535 barrels in 1872 72 to 7,945,786 barrels in 880-81. At Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Mrs. Emma Stillwell, supposed to be on her death bed, confesses to having murdered one husband and child, killed a boarder, and thrice attempted the life of her present husband. President White, of Cornell, attrib rutes the greatness of Germany most ly to her vast system of education through polytechnic schools, universi ties, colleges, museums of industrial art, and national and provincial expo sitions. The Senate has passed a bill appro priating ten thousand dollars for the erection of a monument at Annapolis, to Baron DeKalb, who assisted the American colonies in the revolutionary war. There is one other thought that I ought to express, before closing the sub ject, in regard to marriage engagements. An indefinite engagement is no engage ment at all. In most instances it is a contemptible pretext for undue familari ties. Chief Justice Park, of Connecticut, has decided that the black ballots used by the democrats in the city election at New Haven, are illegal and void. This decision gives the entire municipal gov ernment to the Republicans' The bridegroom and brile of a Wis consin wedding were both sued on the day after the ceremony was performed for damages in consequence of having broken their promises to marry other wise. Rev. Robert Harp has sued the Book Concern of the M. E. Church, South, for $25,000 and interest, the debt being incurred while complainant acted as agent of the Concern. Senator Edmunds of Vermont, is held to be the most available repub lican man for the 1884 standard bear er. He will hardly suit the temperance element of the country, The man who is deterred from mov ing to Georgia by malicious misrep resentations of our people, when the published statistics of the government show it to be one of the quietest and most orderly States in the country, is a fool, whose room is much more profit able than to believe a lie, in such a matter would make a poor citizen. The Columbus, Mississippi, Dis patch, has this to say about the western end of the Georgia Pacific: Up to last night, about nineteen miles of new track had been laid on the Georgia Pacific railway. The forty miles required to be completed by January 10th, will be finished by to-morrow night, leaving nine days margin. A Canadian paper says that Jews are the longest lived people. The mortali ty akiong infants, so great everywhere, and said to be unusually so in Memphis, is among the Hebrews but 18 per cent. The mean age of Jewish life is given at fortyeight years. One-fourth of them live to be seventy-one, and another fourth survive to see their sixtieth year. The orange orchards in Florida have been badly injured by frost and cold. The bantianas and gauvas are many of them killed, and the lemon trees are turned yellow. The frost played a strange freak, and cut right down through the centre of the state, clear to cape Ftorida, and left the coast line comparatively uninjured. In Orange county the thermometer fell to 26. Red Cloud wants ten thousand dol lars for horses stolen from him by the army. He is almost as bold as a star route thief, and his impudence in ask ing for compensation for having been suppressed is paralleled only by Cefe wayo’s wanting to propose to Queen Victoria.

We know this, Tlic Fire Fiend’s Work—Another Hotel Horror Barely Averted. Narrow Escape of the Planters’ Ho tel in St. Louis —Two Servants Dead add Two Otoers Injured —A Theatre Burned in Russian Poland —Three Hundred Lives Reported Lost. St. Louis, Jan. 14.—The Planters’ Hotel, one of the largest in the city, took fire this morning shortly before 5 o’clock, and burned so rapidly that four persons lost their lives. The greatest profusion prevailed when the alarm was given, and nearly all the guests escaped in their night clothes. The weather was intensely cold, and tbe firemen were thereby greatly hindered in their work. It is thought there were not more than four victims. Three bodies have been taken out. The fire, at 10 35 o’clock, was under control. The loss on the hotel will not exceed $30,000. The fire broke out shortly after 4 a. m. in the kitchen of the hotel and ex tended to the pantry, storeroom and several rooms of the servants’ quarters. These were in the building in the rear and detached from the hotel, which was. not injured. One servant was suffo cated, one burned, and two others have broken limbs. Great excitement pre vailed among the occupants of the ho tel, most of whom left the house, but returned during tbe day. St. Petersburg, Jan. 14.—During the performance yesterday at a circus in Bedischoff, in Russian Poland, a fire broke out in the building, and before the spectators could escape, the whole structure was ablaze. Three hundred persons perished in the flames. Polk at Nashville. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 13.—Ex- Treasurer Polk arrived this morning in charge of officers, and is now in cus tody. Until he shall bo admitted to bail he refuses to be interviewed. The grand jnry of Davidson county at noon presented an indictment against Polk in two counts for embezzlement and larceny of $480,000. The Judge of the Criminal Court is charged with the duty of fixing the charge of conspi racy upon certain parties in obtaining funds from Polk, knowing it to be the funds of the State. Counsel of ex-Treasurcr Polk will, on Monday, make application before Judge Quarles, of the Criminal Court, for the release of the prisoner on bail. Meantime the prisoner is held at the county jail, but occupies comfortable quarters in the jailor’s office. New Orleans, Jan. 14. —Near re latives of ex-President James K. Polk, residing in this city, are authority for the statement that M. T. Polk, the de faulting State Treasurer of Tennessee was an adopted son of ex-President Polk, and his name was Childress. Ex-President Polk had no children. Suicide of a Young Lady—Miss Jodie Gilliou’s Death. The Calhoun County Courier gives tho following particulars ot the suicide of the above young lady: The citizens ot this community and acquaintances of the young lady whose name heads this article, were much shocked and grieved on Saturday morn ing last, at the announcement of her strange and sudden death, the only as signable cause of which was supposed to have been from the fatal effects of an overdose of morphine, supposed to have been taken with suicidal intent. On last Friday night Mrs. Jarvis was aroused from sleep by the strug gles of her neice, Miss Jodie, with whom she was sleeping, and made sev eral efforts to awake her, when her lath er, hearing the calling, went in the room occupied by the two ladies and called to his daughter, who then raised up in bed and said: “Papa, I was feel ing badly at supper.” There being no light in the room, be went to the fire place to make a light. Miss Gillion then laid back on her pillow, when her father again attempted to arouse her and raised her in a sitting posture, but she again sought her pillow and- died about two o’clock. The words ad dressed to her father were the last she ever spoke. Miss Gillion was a handsome young lady of twenty; the only daughter of a fond father, with sufficient means to af ford her all the comforts and pleasures of life, and her mysterious death is a source ot great wonderment and sur prise to her acquaintances, by all of whom she was much beloved and ad mired. Huff vs. Markham. On the 2d inst. Mr. Willinm Mark ham, owner of the Markham House of Atlanta, sued out a dispossessory war rant against W. A. Huff, the present proprietor of said Markham House, placing the same in the hands of an officer, whereoupon Mr. Huff filed a bill of injunction against said Mark ham, asking that the proceedings of said officer against him be suspended until a hearing could he had in the courts. His Honor Judge Hammond granted a temporary injunction, and yesterday, the 13th inst., was set for a hearing. After hearing the greater portion of the case, it was continued until next Saturday, when it will again be taken up.' Mr. Huff is represented by E. N. Broyles and Abbott & Gray; Mr. 'Mark ham by Judges Willis Hawkins, of Americus, and Lyon, of Macon. The case promises to be a very promising one.— Post-Appeal.

The Johnstown Tribune gives the following account of the terrible fate of a hunter’s family, hut the location of the scene of the awful affair is rathar indefinite, which, were it known, would bo of material interest as a matter of local news: “Yesterday,” says the Tribune, “our telegraphic columns con tained a brief account of a land-slide at the foot of the mountain in Westmore land county, by which a cabin was covered with earth and stones and a woman and her two children were hur ried alive. The accident cccurred on Thursday. Tbe victims were tbe wife and cliildien of Thomas Johnson. Mr. Johnson, who is a hunter, was absent from home. Returning in the evening, be was surprised to see a mass of snow, stones, earth, and timber occupying the place where his cabin had stood. Un able to remove the debris himself with out gieat loss of time, be burried off to the nearest settlement and procured as sistance. Four or five strong men worked with a will until nearly mid night before the roof of tbe cabin came in sight. It tvas partly crushed, and the single room was half full of earth and stones. These were hastily re moved. In One corner crouched the wife and two cliildien. All of them were dead. A large stone had struck one of the children on tbe head, crush ing the skull. The others had appar ently suffocated, as no serious bruises were found on them. The family re moved trom Virginia to Westmoreland county about three years ago.” Juhrjseetmcnts, CARD?

A CALL FOR SPECIMEN'S OF GEORGIA PRODUCTS; AGRICULTUAL, HORTI CULTURAL. FORESTRY, MINERALS, AND MANUFACTURES. t EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ; STATE OF GEORGIA. > Atlanta, G\., January 4,1883.) Whereas, heretofore, to-wit, in the month of November last, the following communi cation was received by me, as Governor of the State, from the Secretary of the New England Manufacturers and Mechanics’ In stitute, of Boston, Mass,, to-wit: “New England Manufacturers and Mechan ics’ Institute, Treasurer’s Office,3B Hawley Street, Boston, Mass., October 30, 1883. “To His Excellency, the Governor of Geor gia: Dear Sir— “III heliaif of the New England Manufac turers and Mechanics’ Institute, and by the authority of its official hoard, I hereby ex tend to the State of Georgia a cordial invita tion to make an exhibit of its agricultural products and resources at the third, annual fair of the Institute, which will be opened tlie first week in September, 1883, and con tinue until a day in November to he deter mi ed hereafter.
