GREAT DISASTER AT SEA.
The Cimbria and Sultan Collide,
Whereupon the Cimbria Sinks.
The new# of this terrible catastrophe
received on the 22nd. The Cimbria
had 23 cabin passengers, 362 steerage
With a crew of 92, all of whom are lost
—gone to the bottom of the sea, except
56 persons. The Cimbria left Ham
berg on the 17th, and collided with the
British Steamer, Sultan, and sank.
The disasters by sea and by land of
late are appalling. The Milwaukee
hotel, the Southern Pacific smash up,
the burning circns in Russia and others,
makes January an eveDtful month.

The State taxes of Georgia are now
lower than those of any other State in
the Union, with possibly one or two
exceptions. The tax bill passed by the
Legislature at the session just closed
reduces the general ad valorem tax five
tenths of one per cent.
Work has again been suspended on
the building of the Wesleyan Female
College, owing to the second appropri
ation made by Mr. Seney, of $25,000
being exhausted and the committee
having no further funds at their com
mand to continue the work. There has
now been $65,000 expended on the
structure, and it would no doubt take
$40,000 more to complete the College
according to the original plans.
The pensioning civil officials after
they have reached the age of three score
years and ten, is not a wise one, only
in exceptional cases. Persons in hon
orable and responsible positions should
lay up a sufficient sum of money to
make provisions against the infirmities
of age, or protacrted sickness. In the
ministerial calling where no adequate
sum warrants such a promise, there is
a reason for providing for worn out
servants; but no such reasons is good
argument when the salary warrants an
excess.
The Suny South, the literary week
ly published in Atlanta, comes out in
anew typographical dress, and makes a
splendid appearance. It is now in the
eighth year of its journalistic experi
ence, and is the only really literary pa
per published in the south. We are
pleased to dnow that its patronage is
being largely increased, as it certainly
deserves it.—not only because is South
ern in its loyalty to letters and litera
ture, but is really the superior of the
majorty ol the large number of North
ern literary papers, so called.
Atlanta Constitution: Yesterday
the injunction suit of W. A. Huff vs.
William Markham, was concluded be
fore Judge Hammond. The suit was
a bill for injunction to prevent Mr.
Markham from turning out Mr. Huff
for his failure to pay rent. The com

We have been frequently asked about
the provisions of that portion of the
tax act which relates to pistols. Sec
tion 18 of the general tax act says:
“And upon all dealers in pistols, re
volvers, dirks, bowie-knives, the sum
of twenty-five dollars for each place of
business in each county where the same
are sold, and said tax shall be for edu
cational purposes. The tax provided
by this paragraph shall be assessed
•gainst all dealers in the articles here
in enumerated on and after the first day
of April, 1883, and such dealer shall
be liable for said tax of twenty-five
dollars prior to the first april, 1883.”
"The gospel in All Lands,” or the
“Missionary Almanac,” is the com
pletest thing on Mission work that we
have seen. It is a book of fifty and
more pages, and gives a complete list of
the Mission work all over the world,
•nd what is being done by each denom
ination. It gives the general statistics
of the mission world, with thirteen
maps, and the population and square
miles of every eountry, with an outline
of the same, the names of their Kings,
Emperors and rulers, and their native
religions faith and customs. It also
has several pages denoted to books on
Mission work and their authors. Send

Frank Leslies Popular Monthly.
The number for February is already
on our table, and it is impossible in a
brief notice to do justice to its abund
ant and varied contents. There are
articles by popular writers replete with
interest and information; bright stories,
sketches, etc., etc.; several meritorious
poems; a comprehensive miscellany,
and the pictures and illustrations are
exceedingly beautiful. The colored
frontispiece '“Won’t I be a Fright?” is
admirable. Ben Perley Poore’s "Our
Veterans,” Mark Pattison’s “Milton,”
E. B. White’s “Ants and Their Ways
of Life,” Robinson’s “The Loves of
Catherine de Bourbon,” etc., are note
worthy and finely illustrated articles.
Caldor continues hi serial, “A White

A Very Important Question.
The following paragraph originated
with the Marietta Journal has been
floating generally through the State
press.
The question is seriously asked
whether Treasurer Speer ought not to
refuse to pay any money on account of
the July session until the Supreme
Court shall have decided such a session
constitutional? We are decidedly of
the opinion that he should not. We
know that some of the ablest jurists in
the State hold that such session will
not be Constitutional and that no law
passed by it will stand the test before
the Supreme court of the State.
The suggestion is certainly impor
tant enough for discussion. Without
touching the merits of the case, it looks
odd that when the State Constitution
says precisely there shall be only bien
nial sessions, and the people have rati
fied that Constitution, the Legislature
persists in holding annual sessions.
An Illinois woman who married a
drunkard, grew tired of her husband
after a number of years and sued for a
divorce on account of his drinking. The
court refused the application on the
ground that as the woman had know
ingly chosen a drunkard for her hus
band it was her duty to discharge the
functions of a drunkard’s wife. In
this case the drunkard had the best of
it, but in another case in New York
the decision was of rather doubtful
benefit to both parties. . A man, who,
while intoxicated had married a girl,
applied for a divorce on the ground
that he proposed to the girl while stu
pidly drunk and married her in that
condition. The court held that a
drunken man must abide the conse
quences of his foolish or criminal acts.
These two decisions are pretty rough,
but they will perhaps have a good ef
fect.
Harper’s Magazine for February is
a very attractive and entertaining num
ber. It opens with a frontispiece en
graving from George H. Boughton’s
Royal Academy Picture, “The Frozen
Fountain.” Mr. Wirt Sikes, our con
sul at Cardiff, describes the “Wild
Welsh Coast,” which is profusely and
very effectively illustrated by Harry
Fenn. In the second part of George H.
Boughton’s “Artist Strolls in Holland”
we find another and very different sort
of descriptive article—one not depend
ing for its interest upon a portrayal of
natural scenery, or even upon its use
ful information, but full of quaint and
interesting pictures of Dutch life and
manners, as seen in windmilly Zaan
dam and the Isle of Marken. The il
lustrations by Boughton and Abby are
delightfully picturesque.
Sudden Illness of Judge Simmons.
Macon Graphic, 22nd.
This morning, while presiding at the
Superior Court, in the case Durden vs.
Hardy, Judge Simmons was suddenly
seen to arise and walk back and forth
on his bench, and then went out of the
court room into the judges’ chamber,
which was the adjoining room. Mr.
Washington Dessau, who had occasion
a few moments afterwards to go into
the room, found Judge Simmons coiled
up on the floor, his abdomen greatly
swollen, and suffering intense agony.
Drs. Ferguson and Fitzgerald .were
promptly summoned to give relief to
the Judge’s suffering, who was pro
nounced attacked with billious colic.
The proper remedies were given, and at
this writing Judge Simmons is consid
erably relieved though still suffering.
The sickness of Judge Simmons
caused considerable consternation in
the courtroom, and the report of his ill
ness rapidly flew over the city, and he
was the object ot much solicitation on
the part of our citizens by whom Jndge
Simmons is so highly respected and
esteemed. Conrt, of course, was ad
journed, and the juries dismissed until
the recovery of the Judge.
A dispatch directed to Mr. E. G.
Simmons, dated Macon, Tuesday 23,
states that Judge Simmons is much
better.

A Poor Boy’s Success.
He Writes an Interesting Letter
Expressing His Gratitude to a
Friend.
From the Fort Valley Mirror.
Many of our oldest citizens will per
haps remember a small, feeble sad-faced
boy, named David H. Fuller, who re
sided in what is known as Scuffle Town.
For some time he occupied the position
of “devil” in the office of the Nine
teenth Century, a newspaper once pub
lished in Fort Valley. Our esteemed
townsman, Rev. Dr. W. I. Greene,
found in this poor, but honest lad, much
to admire, and taking a vast interest in
him, gave him good advice, and was
finally instrumental in getting him into
the church. Young Fuller soon after
lett Fort Valley and went to Texas,
where he is now esteemed as an able
and brilliant minister of the gospel.
Dr. Greene had not heard of him until
Wednesday last, when he received the
following letter, which he has kindly
permitted us to publish. It shows the
result of the good influence which can
be exerted upon the minds of the young,
and the letter is one of the grandest we
have ever read:
Honey Grove, Texas,)
January 3, 1883. j
Dear Doctor: You will doubtless
be astonished upon receipt of this, but
1 have concluded in this new year of
grace to write* you, because I recognize
myself your debtor in a sum I can nev
er repay. Those dark days of poverty
and youth, when lriends and sympa
thizing hearts were tew indeed, your
words and deeds, Doctor, inspired me
with a determination, under God, to do
and to be something and somebody.
Although the degree of success attained
is but meagre, still, “by the Grace of
God, I am what I am;” and through
that Grace indulge the hope of yet
greater usefulness.
In the autumn of 1872,1 was received
on trial by the then “Trinity,” now
“North Texas” Conference. During
these ten years have served two circuits
one year each, one two years, and two
stations two years each, and am now
in charge of Honey Grove station, with
Rev. Thomas R. Pierce (nephnew of
Bishop) as Presiding Elder.
I have long and still cherish a de
sire to visit the home and friends of
childhood, but find it impossible. I
must afford all the aid in my power to
mother and sister; and that done I have
nothing left with which to meet the ex
pense of travel.
God has blessed me with a wife whose
piety and love of the church has con
tributed no little to my happiness and
usefulness.
I should have mentioned above this
that during the ten years of my itiner
ant life, God has permitted me to wit
ness 1,200 conversions and 1,000 ac
cessions to the church.
And now, Doctor, from my heart of
hearts thanking you for past kindness,
coveting a place in your memory and
prayers, and wishing for your grace,
mercy and peace from the Triune God,
I am
Obediently and grate’ly y’rs,
D. F. Fuller.
Robbed—The Tax Collector of
Berrien County Puts the Mon
ey in an Old Trunk and it van
ishes.
From the Berrien County News.
Last Monday it was rumored that
the Tax Collector, J. L. Sutton, had
been robbed of a considerable amount
of the county funds. The news spread
rapidly, and was soon the talk of town.
Several gentlemen went to investigate
the matter, and found the report to be
true. The particulars, aB nearly as we
could get them are about as follows:
Mr. Sutton had collected a considera
ble amount of the tax money, and, in
stead of depositing it with someone
prepared to keep it in safety, he placed
it in a trunk in his house and locked
the trunk. On Saturday last Mr. S.
took the train at noon for Brunswick,
and later in the evening his
the house and went to a neighbor’s to
spend the night, intending to go from
there to church the next day. Sunday
tile weather was too bad for Mrs. S, to
go home, but her eldest son, Mr. Albert
Sutton, went and found the bouse open,
and upon entering found the trunk
open and several bundles of rice straw
on the bed which had evidently been
set on fire, but had gone out before any
damage wa3 done. Thinking his
mother had taken the money with her,
and the thief being disappointed in his
object had tried'to set the house on
fire, he thought nothing more serions
of it until his mother returned and
found the money—about $1,700, gone.
These facts were given ub by a gentle
man merely as he had heard them, and
we give them to our readers for what
they are worth. Mr. Sutton lives in
the country, about sfic miles south of
here, and It appears to us that it was
a very unsaie place for that amount of
public funds, especially when there
was no one on the place. The thief
was certainly acquainted with matters,
and he manipulated things largely to
his own interest.
The number of assignments in the
country embraces parties in all classecs
of trade, and the increase is far above
the average. This is not encouragihg
upon the face, and many fear it is the
coming of a financial panic, while oth
ers feel no misgivings attributing the
reverses to causes that will soon lose
their influence, and allow business to
run in its natural channel, adjusting
matters, before many- months, to the
wants and demands of trade.

PRINCESS IN CHARLESTON.
Arrival and Reception of the
Vice-Regal Party.
On the Train—At the Depot—At
the Hotel—Description op the
Quarters—The Dinner—Personal
Appearance of the Marquis and
the Princess.
Charleston was considerably excited
Friday over the announcement that
Princess Louise and Vice-Regal party
would arrive in the afternoon at four
o’clock. A special representative of
the News and Courier was dispatched
to meet the train at the King’s Tree
Junction, and horded at that point the
“Afton,” one of the new and handsome
Pullman drawing room and sleeping
cars of the Atlantic Coast Line, which
had been engaged for the exclusive use
of the Vice-Regal party from Richmond
to Charleston. From his very interest
ing account we make the following ex
tracts:
how the party passed the day.
At this time, about half-past 3 p. m.,
the Princess Louise and Miss Harvey
and Miss McNeil her two lady compan
ions, were occupying the parlor at the
front of the car, and the ladies were
engaged in worsted work, while on a
seat near by was a guitar which had ap
parently been used to beguile the weary
hours of travel. The Princess had re
mained in bed all day, passing the time
in reading and an occasional glance at
a passing station, a glimpse of which
she obtained by wiping away the con
densed moisture on the glass. Separat
ed from the ladies in the main part of
the car were seated the gentlemen of
the party, who were surrounded with
scores of newspapers, pamphlets and
books.
In the rear part of the car the smok
ing room was occupied by the light
baggage of the ladies, and in the same
room sat the two male servants of the
party 4 It was learned from the conduc
tor of the “Afton,” who had come
through with the car from Washington
and had taken charge of the party from
Richmond, that at Wilmington the
British Consul and a number of English
gentlemen had assembled to pay their
respects to the party, but everybody
was in bed and refused to come out.
At Florence, which was reached about
1 o’clock, a lunch was served in the
car, the gentlemen taking theirs in the
main part of the car and the ladies re
maining with the Princess in the par
lor. Indeed, during nearly the entire
trip the ladies kept to themselves and
the gentlemen had exclusive occupancy
of'the main portion of the car and smok
ed their cigars, read their papers and
drank their toddies in undisturbed ease.
The Marquis occupied a seat on the
left of the car near the rear. He read
a great deal, occasionally took note of
the rivers over which the train passed
and frequently refreshed himself with
food and drink He was dressed in a
short coat, speckled brown and white,
with pants and vest to match, and his
feet were encased in slippers. The
Marquis is a little above tho medium
size, has light hair and whiskers and
possesses a round, good-humored face.
He appears to be in full health and
takes a keen interest in all that passes
around him.
It was after half-past 6 o’clock when
the long whistle of the locomotive an
nounced that the train was nearing the
city. A few moments latter the train
slowed down and ran into the railway
yard, greeted by the yells of fifty to
one hundred little negroes. When the
train drew up at the platform a huge
wall of humanity stretched itself along
the covered way and a strong force of
policemen was required to keep the
crowd from rushing upon the cars.
Capt. Domville, of H, M. 8. Dido, Mr.
Consul Walker and Mr. Vice-Consul
Box, all in full uniform, were standing
in front of the crowd, waiting for the
party. Col. De Winton first came out
of the car, and after shaking hands
with Capt. Domville and the consul
and vice-consul, he returned into the
car with several dispatches which the
consul handed him for the Princess.
Several minutes then elapsed, and the
crowd outside grew impatient. Pres
ently the Marquis of Lome appeared
at the door of the car with the Piinceß6
upon his arm. They stepped down on
the platform, and were immediately fol
lowed by the other members of the par
ty. With simply a bow to her Majes
ty’s officers, the Princess, the Marquis
and the rest of the party walked rapid
ly along the platform leading to the
waiting room, their passage being made
through a dense crowd which thronged
the platform on either side. Upon
reaching the station another sea of facee
could be seen stretched across the room,
and policemen were walking up and
down in a frantic manner to keep the
way clear. The party walked on at
the same rapid pace into* the ladies’
waiting room, and without stopping
they got into the Charleston Hotel car
riages, which had been engaged for their
Use. apd drove off to the hotel. The
walk from the err to the carriages must
have been fully one hundred yards, and
during all this time the party were sub
jected to the gaze of hundreds of inquis
itive eyes. The Princess had on a ter
ra-cotta colored jacket covered with
spots of a darker shade of brown. Her
dress, which was short, was of a dark
striped material and was made with
large box plaits all around. She wore
a round hat covered with a veill, which
likewise covered half of her face. To
the casual observer the Princess would
not convey the idea that she was in
delicate health. She is about the me
dium size, quite plump and with a
round, fresh English face which, while
not beautiful, is pretty and attractive.
When the carriages containing the
party reached
the charleston hotel
a large crowd of people were standing
on the sidewalk waiting with the same
eagar curiosity to see the Princess as
had been manifested at ever j point
where there was thought to' be the
slightest chance of seeing her. The
party got Gut of thp carriage at the
jadief potrapee apt) went immediately
up the staircase to their apartments,
leaving in the lurch about one hundred
and fifty knowing ones who had assem
bled around the elevator to get a good
look at the Princess as she should step
into it to go up to the second floor,
where her apartments are located.
. waiting for the party.
As early as three o’clock m the af
ternoon people began to assemble in
front of the Charleston Hotel, but the
news of the delay on the arrival of the
train soon got out, and the crowd, with
the exception of a score or two of ne
groes, dispersed. At 6 o’clock the
people again commenced to gather, and
by 7 o’clock the grand piazza of the
hotel and the street in the immediate
vicinity were densely crowded. A
squad of policemen who had been on
duty since 4 o’clock kept the sidewalk
clear and the railed passage to the
ladies’ entrance free. In the hotel the
lady boarders hurried through their tea
and lined the corridor on the first floor,
anxious to get a look at the royal party.
the apartment.
Upon the receipt of the intelligence
of the expected arrival of the Princess
and her suite, Mr. Walker, tho Brit
ish consul, engaged quarters for them
at the Charleston Hotel. Mr. Jack
son, the proprietor, made arrangements
for his guests; the entire Southern
wing of the building, containing in all
fifteen rooms, was set apart for the
party, and all of the rooms were over
hauled and put in order for immediate
use. Room No. 116, on the west face
of the building, was fitted up as a pri
vate parlor for the Princess. This
room is known as the Bridal Chamber,
and is probably one of the prettiest
parlors in any hotel in the South. It
is furnished with a parlor set of rich
crimson velvet, to which have been ad
ded two luxurious rocking chairs of
variegated rep silk. A full length
mirror stands against the south wall,
and another large mirror rests on the
richly carved mantlepiece, which is be
tween the two doors in the west wall
opening on the second story piazza. A
rich rosewood book-case with mirrored
doors stands against the north wall,
and the doors leading out into the pi
azza are curtained with lace curtains
topped with rich lambrequins. The
floor is covered by a heavy velvet car
pet. There were no decorations in the
room, but a glowing fire in the grate
made it a cosy and pleasant place of
retreat for the ladies, who were fatigu
ed by their longjourney.
The dining room is in the south wing
of the building within convenient reach
of the chambers occupied by the party.
It is fitted up with lace curtains and
lambrequins, and has a table with cov
ers for eight persons. A buffet of
black walnut with marble top occupies
a position against the east wall, and
the room is just large enough to permit
eight persons to sit comfortable at the
table.
The chamber selected for the Mar
quise and the Princess consists of a
suite of rooms, plainly but neatly and
prettily furnished in walnut, with sets
of chintz furniture in dark blue and
light blue and with lambrequins to
match. The rooms are situated at the
southeast angle of the building, the
windows opening on Hayne street. A
double toilet set of white china decoia
ted with a simple band of pink and
gold occupies the washstand. The floors
are carpeted with French moquett.
The visitors in the meantime had
been registered by Mr. Jocoline Bagot
as follows:
His Excellency the Marquis of
Lome.
Her Royal Highness, the Princess
Louise.
Miss Harvey, Miss McNeill, Col.
De Winton, Col. Tourtelotte, U. S. A.,
Capt. W Bagot, Mr, Jocoline
Bagot, Dr. Burnet.
Col. DeWinton and Captain and
Mr. Bagot are members of the Mar
quis’ staff. Dr. Burnett is an eminent
London physician, and the two ladies
are maids of honor to the Princess.
Col. Tourtelotte is a member of Gen.
Sherman’s Btaff, and is acting as an
escort of honor for this occasion.
THE DINNER
was served at about half-past 8 o’clock
in the Princess’ dining room. The
table was laid with covers for eight,
and was decorated only with a tray of
violets, jonquils and ferns, which per
fumed the entire room.

Wliat an Editor Says.
There are so many patent humbugs and
nostrums, in the way of medicines, adver
tised all over the country, that the masses
are skeptical and are loth to buy unless the
article offered for sale is known to possess
real merits; and on the other hand, names
of well known citizens are often forged ti
certificates for the purpose of effecting sale
and palming off a worthless preparation.
Taking these facts into consideration, it
gives me pleasure to add my testimonial to
a medicine which I know from personal ex
perience to do all that is claimed for it.
