The most singular death we have
heard of recently is reported by the At
lanta Post-Appeal. A little girl,
aged about 12 years, got frightened at
thunder during the prevalence of a
storm at night, and requested her
mother to take her to bed. Her mother,
not wishing to humor, declined to grant
the request. Soon after, the mother
was aroused by the difficult breathing
of the child, and upon approaching her
bed discovered that something serious
was the matter. This frightened the
mother, who commenced stirring ground
to relieve her child’s suffering, but,
alas, by the time she had gotten a light
and some medicine, the little girl had
breathed her last.
An Old Printer.
There is a printer in the employ of
Jas. P. Harrison ds Cos., who has been
at the business forty years to-day. He
served a seven years apprenticeship at
Liverpool, England, aud was bound by
indentures on May 24th, 1843.—At
lanta Constitution.
The editor of the Republican has
been at the business over fifty years,
having served several years apprentice
ship at Columbia, South Carolina,
commencing in the year 1833.
About the Crops.
Said one of the oldest farmers in the
county to the News and Advertiser
Saturday: “You can just put it in
your paper that the crop prospects in
Dougherty, liaker and Mitchell coun
ties aie not anything like as good as
they were this time last year. Nearly
everybody is behind; were all late about
planting on account of the backward
season, and now this cold snap that
we’ve had has done serious injury to
the young cotton. Corn is backward,
too, but that will come out all right it
the season is favorable from now on.
The worst thing about the corn crop is
that there hasn’t been enough corn
planted. And as for oats, the crop
will not begin to come up to that of
last year.
A Medeni Fable.
There is something touching in the
interest which Jay Gould displays in
the cause of protection as he retires
with his dear hundred millions or
thereabouts. My dear children, ex- I
ekimed an old rat, I am about to with
draw from the labors and cares of this
wicked world and devote my remain
ing days to study and contemplating
the lessons of my prosperity and imi
tate the virtues that have illustrated
my career. Farewell. Wiping his
eyes with his venerable tail, the old rat
withdrew. Gne of his progeny morel
cunning than the rest, followed him to
his retreat and found that he had bur
ied himself in an enormous cheese.
Local Legislation—Taxes.
Elsewhere in this morning’s Repub
lican will be found an interesting com
munication from “Sumter,” touching
the action of the County Commission
ers and Judge Pilsbury in reference to
their official notices to have certain
bills passed by our next Legislature,
authorizing the building of anew
Court House, and to levy an annual
tax sufficient to keep the roads and
bridges of the county in order, which
we publish without comment. The
writer of the article informs us that it
was written at the solicitation of a
number of the best citizens of the
county who are property holders. Be-
lieving that our citizens have a right
to be heard on all matters touching the
interests of the county we give place to
the communication with pleasure. As
the subject matter which our corres
pondent, “Sumter,” treats upon, is one
in which every citizen of the county is
more or less interested, we throw open
the columns of the Republican for a
fair discussion of the subject in order
that they may have all the light nec
essary when the proper time for
action arrives. 1
Two Republican Predictions.
It is, of course, too early to make any
political predictions as to the next
Presidential election, but it must be no
ticed that the wisest and most far-see
ing men in that party acknowledge the
probability, almoet the certainty, of a
Democratic victory in 1884. Take
Conkling and Jay Gould, for instance,
as representing two elements of that
party—the political and the business
elements. Never before have either of
them expressed the slightest doubt of
Republican success in the elections —
they have always been confident of
victory—but this time they both pre
dict defeat, disastrous, overwhelming
defeat, for their own party.
Conkling has lately explained at
length his recent speech on the subject
of the political future of the Republi
cans. He did not intend to speak to
the whole country, he says, and never
suspected that his remarks were going
to be repeated, but since they have
been made public, he will not with
draw a single word, and he strongly
reasserts his belief that the Democratic
party will sweep the country at the
Presidential election.
Very similar was the prediction that
Jay Gonld made in an_iuterview the
other day. He was a Republican, he
said, not a politician, having no inter
ests in politics, but he felt that 1884
was tc be a Democratic year, and that
his own party was doomed to defeat.
Such expressions as may be
obtained from a dozen differen Repub
lican quarters. Even the Federal office
holders are beginning to acknowledge
the probabilities of Democratic success,
and pray for some mistake of the next
Congress which will give their party a
better chance. This, indeed, is their
only hope—that the next session of
Congress will bring forth new public
issue on which to base the camyaign.
There is some hope, they think, in a
tariff issue; none on those sectional and
war issues which have served them so
well for so many years.
The Melon Crop.
Thomasville Times.
The following is the exact acreage
of melons along the line of the S., F.
& W. R’y, as reported by Major Elli
ott, of the Dispatch line: Waycross,
75; Naylor, 300; 146 and 154 mile
posts, 245; Valdosta, 1005; 160 mile
post, 140; Mcßce’s, 250; Ousley, 800;
Blue Spring, 188; 171 mile post, 291;
Quitman, 971; 177 mile post, 230;
Dixie, 345; 183 mile post, 54; Harda
way, 40; Baconton, 100; Flint, 50;
Camilla, 200; Cairo, 60; Whigham,
10; llainbridge junction, 25; Bain
bridge, 156.
Mr. Sanford, who is getting up the
acreage in Thomas, was unable to give
in the exact figures near Thomasville
and Boston, but thinks they are about
1000 acres. This will aggregate a lit
tle over 6000 acres and according to
the estimate of Mr. Elliott, will require
2000 cars to move the crop.
The little village of Accord, in Lis
ter county, has been made the reposi
tory of a treasure such as no hunter of
bric-a-brac ever dared to dream of. A
few days ago the worthy people of that
place were somewhat startled at be
holding a flaming meteor drop through
space and disappear in the Roundout
Creek. Although meteors have re
peatedly fallen before, they are still ob
jects of unusual interest, and it is not
surprising that search was made for
this particular specimen. One of the
explorers was a son of Mr. D. D. Bell,
of Accord, who set about dragging the
creek with great care and energy.
While engaged in this moist underta
king what was his amazement at dis
covering a gigantic sword standing
point upward in the creek, with the
hilt buried deep in the sand. It was
drawn out with great difficulty, and'
found to be in truth an extraordinary
weapon. It is two edged, six feet long
and weighs seventeen pounds. It is
ornamented with strange hieroglyphics
wrought with exquisite delicacy and
utterly unintelligible to the learned men
of Ulster County. Of course.it was
at once apparent to the dullest under
standing that this sword was the sup
posed meteor, and that it must have
dropped from some planet peopled by
a gigantic race, for no inhabitant of
this earth could wield the blade. Mr.
Bell’s house is beseiged by his neigh
bors and the excitement is becoming in
tense. — Delaware, Ohio, Democrat.
Rev. Shivers, editor of the Warren
ton Clipper, did not attend the meeting
of the Press Association at Athens a
few days ago but, from the editorial
lecture in his paper last week, we judge
that it has been reported to him that
all the editors got full of champagne
and beer. He says that at Rome, Ga.,
in 1881, the Association voted spirits
out of the State, while at Athens the
other day a car filled with champagne
and beer was hitched on the front of
the train, and thus made the excursion
to Tallulah. The parson deprecates
such conduct, and thinks the Associa
tion should discourage such entertain
ments. If our esteemed brother is not
aware of the fact we will state it, that
the only member ot the press who ap
peared the least “out of the way” on
the excursion was a preacher, so we
were informed. But, perhaps, Brother
Shivers is correct—we, as editors,
should endeavor to inculcate better
morals among the preachers who have
entered journalism. And this reminds
us of the story of two parrots, but we
will not attempt to tell it.”—Haw

Will the People be Taxed to Build
a New Court House?
SHALL WE GIVE THE COUNTY COMMISSION
ERS THE POWER TO TAX REAL ESTATE.
I see, from official notice, in the Re
publican, that we are soon to be called
upon to say whether we will submit to
a tax of thirty thousand dollars with
which to build anew court house, such
a move is wholly unlooked for by the
people and certainly premature under
the circumstances. A lew months ago
the grand jury simply recommended
that steps be taken looking to the sale
of the public square and the building
of anew Court House. From this it
was inferred that the proceeds of the
sale, it made, would defray the expense
of the new building, but in a few
months the thing has culminated in a
demand upon the people of thirty thous
and dollars by the issuing and selling
of bonds.
Before I proceed in the discussion of
the subject, allow me to present a few
facte for the consideration of the peo
ple. Independent of the State and
County tax we are informed by the
Mayor that at least twenty thousand
dollars is necessary to defray the ex
penses of the city, add to this amount
the thirty thousand called for by the
Commissioners and we have the sum of
fifty thousand, and, to cap the climax,
we are notified by Judge Pilsbury that
an effort will be made to pass an act
authorizing the County Commissioners
to levy an annual tax sufficient to keep
the roads and bridges in order by hiring
hands, and to employ overseers to su
perintend the work. This will require
at least twenty thousand dollars,which
added to the above, makes the modest
sum of seventy thousand that must be
raised by taxation over and above the
State and County tax, to be placed in
the hands of parties whose bond for the
faithful, aud efficient, discharge of their
official duties are merely nominal.
When the general assembly or even in
dividual parties place the sum of sev
enty thousand dollars in the hands of
an agent or an official, a bond of dou
ble this sum is required, and I see no
reason why the people of Sumter should
be less prudent in the management of
the finances of the county.
The question of issuing bonds to the
amount of thirty thousand dollars, I
think, is easily disposed of, for the peo
ple do not want anew Court House
unless the proceeds of the sale of the
public square will defray the expense.
It would be decidedly better to sell the
three remaining corners of the public
square and add two jury rooms on the
north side with two or three law offices
below for rent. Having disposed of
the Court House question we return to
the consideration of that modest request
for power to levy an annual tax of an
indefinite sum of money for roads and
bridges.
The asking of such extraordinary
powers springs the question, to whom
are we to grant this supreme power over
the real and personal property of the
people? If the present board of Com
missioners, and none others, were to be
vested with such extraordinary powers
and trust, their well known character
aud business qualifications might jus
tify a respectful consideration of the
request, but, unfortunately for the suc
cess of the appeal, the powers asked
for, cannot, from the nature of the plan,
be limited in duration of, nor restrict
ed, to their official existence. In a
very high sense the hoard of County
Commissioners are a self constituted
body vested by legislative action, with
supreme power over any, and all, pub
lic property, with a desire and the
nerve to exercise it as has been exem
plified in the recent sale of a corner of
the public square without consulting
the wish of the people. This hoard
fills its own vacancies, whether occa
sioned by death or removals, and hence
in the near future it will present to
view in a Democratic government a
self existing and a self constituted
body, granted by legislative enactment,
supreme power over the property ot the
county, and now, presumption rises to
its climax by asking an intelligent
people to extend the power over real
and personal property of the people.
From this stand point we see that
any, and all powers granted to the
present board of Commissioners by
legislation must he to them and their
successors. And who, I ask, will they
be? The future alone will show, at
present we assume that they will be
creatures of chance, huddled together
independent of the will of the people,
whose property they tax according to
their individual views of expediency.
The board of 1890 may be one of in-
telligence amd virtue, or it may be one
of weakness and inefficiency, but in
neither case will it be in harmony with
a Republican government or the right!
of the people. When we once trample
upon reason, justice and the rights of
man so far as to vest supreme power
in any other than a body elected by
the people, we set a precedent that
must result disastrously to the highest
interest of the people, and sure am I
that the present Board of Commission
ers if left to consnlt their own judg
ment and to be guided by their own
sense of propriety with no outside pres
sure, would reject with indignation and
contempt a plan that would vest the
arbitrary right to tax the people in the
self constituted board of 1890. Indeed
in justice to that body, I am happy to
say that the requost for such a grant
of power was not asked for by them
but by another. They however have
made provision for the reception of
such power if granted in the last clause
of the last paragraph in the aotiflca- l
tion given by them. The phrase and
other purposes is very significant.
Again, as the notice now reads ask
ing for such an increase of power, for
the county Commissioners, It is some
what ambiguous as to its true mean
ing and intention. If the object is to
tax the voters per capita to raise the
money for roads and bridges, the freed
men and non property holders are un
able to respond and as there is no court
vested with power to collect the tax
assessed in labor,the burden of keeping
up the roads and Dridges falls upon the
few who hold the property by reason
of the property of the laboring class.
And if the intention of the writer of the
notification is to levy an advalorum
as an income tax, then with a single
dash of the pen the freedmen and all
non property holders would be exempt
from road duty. So from this stand
point it is clearly seen that a change of
our system of working our roads are
impracticable unless such changes are
made in our judiciary system as may
authorize the collecting of debts in
labor. As it now stands money is the
end of the law.
In conclusion allow me to call the
attention of tax payers to the complica
tions which characterize the two notices.
That from the County Commission
ers has for its object a grant of power
to issue thirty thousand dollars in
bonds bearing interest, which if grant
ed will end with their liquidation.
This is to be decided at the ballot box,
and we know how to meet it. It is an
evil of miner importance when compar
ed with the evil that lurks in that
from Judge Pilsbury. That notifica
tion has for its object a local law chang
ing our system of working our roads
with a grant of increased power of tax
ation giving the Commissioners the
arbitrary power to tax real and per
sonal property, a power that should
have no place outside of an intelligent
body elected by the people. This
question has to be met by our Repre
sentatives in the Legislature.
Sumter.
The Latest Crank.
A Cincinnati lunatic writes: The
probabilities are so great that a terri
ble drought will be npon us this sum
mer that I cannot refrain from urging
everybody throughout the land that
have cisterns to fill them immediately.
My only object in urging this is to help
to mitigate the suffering of the people
as much as possible. All this misery
comes from the wrath of Satan, who,
knowing his time is short and that his
reign is coming to a close, goes forth
to wreck and ruin the world before
Christ comes to set up His kingdom.
Springs, wells, creeks and rivers will
be dried up. The ocean itself will be
partly evaporated by the intense heat,
and will afterwards be precipitated on
the United States in the form of rain,
hail and snow, covering the whole land
nearly with an awful flood.
I get these facts from a multitude of
scripture passages, which it would be
impossible to refer to in a short article.
One or two must suffice: Amos vii., 4,
says; “Behold the Lerd God called to
contend by fire, and it devoured the
great deep, and did eat up a part.”
Revelation vii., 14-16, shows that
this water will be afterwards precipi
tated upon the United States in the
form of a great flood. This is the only
place in the New Testament where the
United States is mentioned. It is re
ferred to in this passage, under the
symbol of “two wings of the great
eagle.” An eagle with outspread
wings is our national emblem, as all
know. Our land is referred to in sev
eral places in the Old Testament under
the name of Tarshish. A dreadful
time of evil is rapidly setting in upon
our country, as well as upon the rest of
the world. All who desire to receive
the help and protection of the Almighty
in the perilous times of the future must
live holy lives.

AYER’S
Hair Vigor
restores, with the gloss ami freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the hair, and stimu
lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to # the
scalp. Asa Ladles’ Hair Dressing, the
Vigor is unequalled ; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr. C. P. Briciikr writes from Kirby, 0..
July 3, 1882 : “ Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, ami in a short time 1 became
nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of
AYEii’s Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started anew growth. 1
have now a full head of hair growing vigor
ously, and am convinced that hut tor the
use of your preparation I should have been
entirely bald.”
J. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the McArthur
(Ohio) Enquirer , says : “ Ayer’s Hair Vigor
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
I speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also
a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge, has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction.”
Mu. Angus Faiuuairn, leader of the
celebrated “ Fairbairn Family” of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 0,
1880 : “ Ever since my hair began to give sil
very evidence of the change which fleeting
time procureth, I have used AVER’S Hair
vigor, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youtlifuluess —a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every one wlio lives
in the eyes of the public.”
Mrs. O. A. Prescott, writing from 18 Elm
St., Charlestoirn, Mass., April 14, 1882, says :
“ Xwo years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came olf. It thinned very rapidly, and I was
fast growing bald. On using Ayer’s Hair
Vigor the falling stopped and anew growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. It
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. 1 regularly used but one bottle
of the Vigor, but now use. it occasionally as
a dressing.”
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti
cal of its value.
