Having been officially notified that
the city of Albany oannot entertain the
Convention which was to have conven
ed this February 15th, it is hereby or
dered, by virtue of the power vested in
me as President of the State Agricul
tural Society, that tha meeting ot the
convention be postponed one week, and
it will be held in the city of Macon on
Tuesday, 20th day of February, 1883.
Delegatas will take due notice and
govern themselves accordingly.

In the lower house of the New Jer
sey Legislature a bill was passed pro
viding that in all civil actions four
men out of a jury of six and nine of a
jury of twelve shall be competent to
render a verdict.
There is some talk about Benjamin
F - Butler as a Democratic candidate
for president. If the Republicans can
persuade the Democratic party to enter
a lunatic asylum and put on strait
jackets, Butler would be the kind of
president the Rebublicans would select
to govern the institution.
A conference of school superinten
dents is to be held in Richmond, be
ginning on the 27th of February, in the
hall of the house of delegates - Gov
ernor Cameron will delive the opening
address, and addresses will also be de
livered by Rev. J. L. M. Curry, gener
al agent of the Peabody fund; Commis
sioner John Eaton, President Conrad,
of the State Agricultural college; Pro
fessor Wickersliam, a distinguished
leetnrer, and others.
The Tbomasville Times, speaking
of the financial condition of that pros
perous city of Southern Georgia says:
“Notwithstanding the extraordinary
expenses of the past year, there is now
in the treasury $1,054 73; while the
available assets of the city amount to
$1,217.94 over and above all liabilities.
The finances of the place have been
managed most admirably and success
fully. Thomasville is financially solid
—and don’t yon forget it.”
The crisis in France continues to ex
cite t he people of Europe independent ot
the parties directly interested, some
rulers and their agents, hoping that she
may change her form of government,
while others sympathize with the lib
eral idea now controlling the powers
that be. If the friends of a monarchy,
were united, they might triumph at
this time; but their forces are as divid
ed as the Republican factions and quite
as likely to keep apart. The friends,
therefore, of a republic feel sanguine of
ultimate success, despite their differ
ences, that now cause so much disqui
etude and alarm.
The Mutual Life Insurance Compa
ny of New York whose annual state
ment appears elsewhere in this issue,
now has nearly $95,000,000 assets.
The payment to policy holders last
year was $12,848,855 and those among
whom this larger sum was apportioned
can best tell the benefits, which the
Mutual Life confers. The families
who have been kept from want are the
best witnesses as to the fidelity with
which this great corporation manages
and conserves its trusts. Its surplus
is now over $12,000,000, its outstand
ing insurance over $329,000,000. The
beneficiaries of this Company are on so
grand a scale as to place it beyond the
limits of comparison.
There are grave rumors of a contem
plated insurrection in France. An
army is being collected, a military chest
is said to be in London. A dispatch
says that the Baron de Charette, aided
by Baudry de Asson, member of the
Chamber Deputies for La Vendee and
others, has organized from Fisistre to
Tours thirty-two legions of 1,000 men
each, and began to arm them. Six
hundred horses have been purchased as
a nucleus for the insugents, and sta
tioned at different chateaux. The re
cruits will wear small crosses as rally
ing signals.
A correspondent seems to think that
there is little in this and winds up a
letter by saying; “It is just possible
that a handful of heated legitimates
may be dreaming of the possibility of a
rising, thus forcing the Count de
Chatnbord to show his hand."

Dear Sir —Your letter of the 9th
inst., addressed to Gen. Henry R. Jack
son, was referred to the office with the
request that I would answer it. We
have only succeeded within the past
twenty-four hours in getting a definite
reply from the Railroad, hence the de
lay. The railroads will sell tickets on
the 11th and 12th of February, good
until the 15th February, to Savannah
and return for one fare. The probale ex
pense of board will range from .$2.00
to $4.00 per day. Wo are endeavoring
to enlarge the usual accommodation,
but would advise parties, particularly
when there are ladies in the party, to
come a day or two in advance to secure
accommodations, fop after all the ex
tent of the number of people who will
be present is only speculation. We
hope convenience may enable you to
join with us in celebrating the 150th
anniversary of the birth of our common
and glorious old mother Georgia. Very
respectfully, your obedient servant,

County Advertising - .
SOME QUOTATIONS FROM THE CODE.
Below we quote some sections of the
code relating to the legal advertising
of the country, to which we desire to
call the attention of the public and
more especially some of our functiona
ries:
Section 493 (a.) Whenever it be
comes necessary to build or repair any
Court House, jail, bridge, causeway, or
other public works in any county in
this State, the Ordinary, commission
ers of roads and revenues, or other of
ficers having charge of the roads and
revenue and public buildings of such
county, shall cause the same to be
built or repaired by letting out the con
tract therefor to the lowest bidder, at
public outcry, before the Court House
door (or at the place where the Sheriff
of the county holds his regular sale)
after having advertised the letting out
<>f said contracts as hereinafter provi
ded:
Sec. 493. (b.) Whenever the con
tract is likely to cost a sum greater
than five thousand dollars, the proper
officer shall give notice in the public
gazette wherein the Sheriff sales are
advertised, once a week for eight
weeks, and by posting a written no
tice at the Court House door for a like
time, which notice and advertisement
shall embrace such details and specifi
cations as will enable the public to
know the extent and character of the
work to be done, and the terms and
time of payment. When the work to
be done is likely to amount to less
than five thousand dollars, the notice
shall be published as prescribed in this
section, once a week for four weeks,
and by posting notice as aforesaid for
the same period, and it shall further
be the duty of such officer to make
out and post conspicuously in his of
fice, complete and minnte speculations
of the proposed public work, or works,
which shall be open to the inspection of
the public.
In Section 553 6f the revised Code,
under the head of “The Duty of the
Treasurer,” relating to advertising, is
the following: “To publish at the
door of the Court House, and in a pub
lic gazette, if there is one published in
the county, a copy of his annum state
ment to the ordinary.”
We call attention to these facts be
cause in the past it has been a duty
partly neglected, and it is due the peo
ple of the county that they be inform
ed on matters of this nature.
A delicate child is more subject to
worms than a healthy one, as in the
economy of nature, one animal is
made to subsist upon another, and
the weaker goes down. At the first
indication of worms administer Shrin

remedy.
A Frozen Man Hauling the Dead.
Territorial Enterprise.
A curious thing occurred last Fiiday
up in the Wood river country. Two
Italians who had been badly injured,
but who were gradually recovering,
were dispatched for Bellevue, where
they would obtain commodations, The
two sick men were laid in the bottom
of an ordinary lumber wagon and there
covered up. An Italian was then em
ployed to drive the wagon to Bellevue.
He faithfully performed this duty.
Though almost frozen, he drove to
Bellevue, not haulting until he was in
front of the hotel where he was to de
liver his charges. The hotel people
came out to receive the patients con
signed to them and upon uncovering
them found both frozen stiff and dead.
The driver was himself almost frozen
to death.
Liver, Kidney aud Bright’s Dis
ease.
A medicine that destroys the germ
or cause of Bright’s Disease, Diabetes,
Kidney and Liver Complaints, and
has power to root them out of the
system, is above all price. Such a
medicine is Hop Bitters, and positive
proof of this can be found by one rial
or by asking your neighbors, who
I have been cured by it.
SIMMONS-CASH AFFAIR.
A. CARD.
Macon, Ga., Jan. 28th, 1883.
Editor Evening Graphic: In the
issue of your paper of the 26th instant,
appeared an article headed “The Schley
County Trouble,” which does me great
injustice, and I trust you will do me
the kindness to publish this bo that
any unfavorable impression respecting
my conduct in Schley county may be,
as far as possible, contradicted.
The statement of one of the prison
ers, “that Cash made a mistake in his
initials on the warrant, but told him
that if he would submit to the arrest
he would pay his expenses to MacoD,
as he needed the mileage to pay his
lawyers in Columbus in a ciimiual
trial,” is false, and the prisoner who so
stated it wilfully and maliciously lied.
1 did not issue the warrant, and
therefore could not have gotten the ini
tials wrong. The statement of your
informant that I “whipped out a pis
tol” in the presence of Mrs. A. F. Wig
gins, and thereby frightened that lady,
is a lie from the whole cloth, and your
informant a liar.
For the facts as to what occurred at
the house of A. F. Wiggins, and at
the time Mrs. Wiggins is alleged to
have been frightened, I refer you to Mr.
T. D. Weld, of Macon, Mr. Barney
Hart and Mr. M. G. Statum, of Schley
county, who were present. Mr. Statum
was one of the prisoners.
I had no pistol, as four gentlemen
who accompanied me to Schley county,
will testify. Very respectfully,
Edwin E. Cash.
THE DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHAL AN
SWERED BY AFFIDAVITS.
Americus, Ga., Feb. 3, 1883.-
Editor of the Evening Graphic.
The card of E E. Cash, bearing date
January 28th, 1883, and published in
the Graphic February Ist, 1883, was
brought to my notice yesterday morn
ing while professionally engaged in the
Superior Court. In the card, Cash
says: “The statement of one of the
prisoners that Cash made a mistake in
his initials on the warrant, but, told
him that if he would submit to the
arrest he would pay his expenses to
Macon, as he needed the mileage to pay
his lawyers in a criminal trial, is false.”
When called on by your reporter, I in
formed him the above, except I did not
state Cash had made a mistake in the
initials. I stated to the reporter there
was a mistake in the initials. The
warrant had the initials “S. G.”—my
initials are “E. G.” This, though is
immaterial, and certainly Cash is stick
ling over the small error unintentional
ly made by the reporter.
I enclose, herewith, the original affi
davit of Mr. M. G. Statham, whom
Cash names as one of his witnesses, and
also of Mr. R. F. Wiggins and Col. E.
A. Hawkins, for publication. The af
fidavits speak for themselves. As to
what occurred on the premises, can’t
say, as I was not present. When Mrs.
A. F. Wiggins sufficiently recovers,
should Mr. A. F. Wiggins think prop
er, he will send you her affidavit. My
information is, Mrs. Wiggins, her chil
dren and the cook alone were present.
Enclosed please find a copy of a let
tar from Dr. E. K Bozeman, an emi
nent physician, and her physician.
I thought proper to make this reply
to the contemptible card from a more
contemptible individual, {hat the pub
lic might know that Cash has wilfully
lied. lam now done with the corres
pondence. I have no desire to bandy
words with Cash.
Yours respectfully,
E. G. Simmons.
Georgia, Sumter County: In per
son came M. G. Statham, who, being
duly sworn, deposes and says: “That
deponent has seen and read the card of
Edwin E. Cash, dated January 28th,
1883, and appearing in the Graphic
February Ist, 1883. Deponent is the
M. G. Statham referred to in said card
of E. E. Cash. Deponent says before
day on the morning of 20th of January
1883, he, R. F. Wiggins, R. A. Wig
gins, E. A. Hawkins and E. G. Sim
mons were seated in the ladies’ saloon
at the depot in the city of Americus,
awaiting for the arrival of the Macon
bound train, due at Americus a few
minutes before 4 o’clock a. m. While
thus waiting, deponent and E. G. Sim
mons, sitting on the same bench, Mr.
E. E. Cash, (J. S. Deputy Marshal,
came in the room, the room being dark,
and went to Mr. E. A. Hawkins and
asked if it was Mr. E. G. Simmons.
“Mr. Hawkins replied ‘no, he is sit
ting over there,’ and directed him to
the seat where deponent and E. G.
Simmons were seated. Cash then
walked up to Mr. E. G. Simmons and
said: “Had you just as soon submit
to arrest? Your initials are wrong in
the warrant, but you are the man, no
doubt. I will pay your expenses to
Macon and I will make the mileage,
and I need the same, as lam a poor
man. The lawyers will get it all, as I
am indicted in Columbus next week,
and I have got to pay my lawyer.’ E.
G. Simmoqp replied, ‘certainly, Mr.
Cash, if it is any accommodation to
you I will submit to arrest.’* C.aish re
plied, ‘thank you,’ or, ‘I am much
obliged,’ and walked out the room.
Deponent further swears; “That
E. E. Cash can prove nothing by him
as to what happened at the house ot
Mrs. A. F. Wiggins prior to her de
parture from the house. When depo
nent arrived at the house, Mrs. A. F.
Wiggins, the person referred to in Mr.
Cash’s card, had left her home and
gone to seek refuge at a neighbor’s
house—to-wit Mr. Charles Rainey.

they were going to try him over in Co

he would pay Csl. Simmons’ fare to
Macon. He said that he was going to
pay the money to Col. Little, where
upon Col. Simmons waived the irreg

Col. E. G. Simmons, Americus, Ga., —
Dear Sir: I am a practicing physician,
located at Friendship, Georgia, I was
to see Mrs. A. F. Wiggins on the 21st
day of January, 1883. I found Mrs.
Wiggins in an exceedingly nervous
condition, threatened with micarriage
and suffering with great pain. She
stated to me five armed men had called
at her house, loaded their guns, forced
themselves into her house, threw her
furniture into the mud and rain, break
ing into pieces and destroying her furn
iture, and were shooting all around the
place. They claimed to be liiited
States marshals, and were hunting for
her husband who was absent in Colum
bus on business. She left her home
during a hard rain and fell in the creek
trying to cross to get to a neighbor’s
house for safety. I am still treating
Mrs. A. F. Wiggins and she is by
no means out of danger.
Very respectfully,
E. K. Bozeman, M. D.

Lumpkin Independent: A bill of

District. We don’t know- anything

The Thomasville Times has the fol
lowing: “A wool growing association
is proposed in Georgia. It should be
preceeded by a dog exterminating as
sociation. Somehow sheep and dogs do
not get along well toget her. It is gener
ally, believed, however, by our law
makers, that it is all the fault of the
sheep.”
The Griffin News records a mystery
which is agitating that city. Great
crowds of persons have visited the yard
of the Troup House within the past
day to examine the mysterious new
made grave which was filled during the
night. The coroner was duly notified
to come and disinter the body, but up
to the hour of going to press the grave
remains undisturbed. What strange
freak could have induced those unknown
grave diggers to inter a human body
in a hotel yard, in the dead of night, is
a mystery to our citizens.

tity of rain that has fellen in this sec

thing phenomenal, aggregating in all
probability as much as thirty inches.
The consequence is that every stream
and pond in the whole country is filled
to overflowing, and all the low lands
are.inundated. The river has been on
a terrible boom, and the greatest ap
prehensions have been felt for a week

The election on the question of pro
hibition in Clayton county takes place
on the Ist of March, and the two par
ties are stripping for the fight, which
promises to be an exciting one. The
Jonesboro News has rented to the pro
hibition party a limited amount of its
space, and all on that side of the ques
tion who desiie to do so can contribute
to its columns free, as the space has
been paid for until the campaign is
closed by the election. Personally the
Jonesboro News takes this high ground
on the question. It says: “We are for
prohibition and will ever advocate the
cause, or any other that we believe to
be right and for the good of our peo
ple.”
There comes down to us the story
of two looks of Jesus, the one histori
cal, the other traditional—the look he
gave Peter, and the look he gave the
cobler who mocked him on the way to
his crucifixion. The one look wrought
penitence deep and sincere; the other
sent the mocker throughout the world
and throughout time a wandering,
wasting, but never dying Jew. So for
every soul there is born of the look of
Jesus repentance or despair—the one
lifting to eternal day, the other sinking
to eternal night.— Grit.
