Judge Allen, of the Criminal Court
at Nashville, after spending about a
we kin trying to get a jury to try
Polk’s case, became dissatisfied with
the seven jurors that had been already
drawn, and discharged them on Tues
day last, and ordered anew panel.
Daniel Webster had his faults and
made his mistakes, but newspaper men
will never forget that the great ex
pounder paid their profession the fol
lowing merited tribute: “It is next to
impossible to fill a sheet with printed
matter without putting something in
to it that is worth the subscription
price.’’
Hon. J. C. S. Blackburn says: “I
can name the next Democratic ticket.
Hoadly is going to carry Ohio by 20,-
000. That will make him the Dem
ocratic candidate for President, and
Cleveland, of New York, will be the
Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee.
The Republicans will abandon party
organization and nominate David Da
vis, and they will not carry T States.”
John W. Daniel’s address at the
unveiling of the Lee monument was a
master piece of eloquence. It abounds
in such beautiful passages as this:
The men who fought under him
never revered or loved him more than
on the day he sheathed his sword, had
he but said the word they would have
died for honor. It was because he
said the word that they resolved to live
for duty.
The attempt by some of the western
press to disgrace Mr. Sartoris, the
son-in-law of General Grant, because
of his relations with a lady of his ac
quaintance, is the wickedest and most
disgraceful act of the press for many
years. The fact that he has called
upon a lady he knew in England and
the circumstances of her attempting to
escape the inquiries of reporters are
made the foundation of columns ol
empty slush and vile insinuations.
John Wilhite, of Jackson county,
was bothered by the crows, so he got
some long strips of tin and tied them
to a pole in the middle of the field—it
makes a splendid scarecrow—and John
was well satisfied with the arrange
ment until the other day. He was
plowing in the field, and the apparatus
commenced working in such a lively
manner that it scared him and his
horse so that they both ran away be
fore they could think what the trouble
was.
Sunday Advertising.
An interesting decision relative to
legal advertisements in Sunday papers
has lately been decided in the Supreme
Court of Indiana. Judge Elliott held
that a Sheriff can do no business on
Sunday, unless of an extraordinary
character, and that it cannot be said
that the advertising of an auction sale
is anything more than an usual act on
his part. The advertisement in the
Sunday paper was,therefore, considered
of no effect, and the sheriff was held to
have failed to give due notice by so
advertising.
Letter Postage.
The two-cent letter rate of postage
does not go into effect until the Ist of
next October, though there seems to be
a general impression that the reduction
takes effect in July. The original bill
for the reduction as it passed one branch
of Congress provided for the July re
duction, but the other House amended
it so as to make the reduction go into
effect October Ist, 1883. So all letter
writers are hereby reminded of the fact
that they will have to pay the old threc
cent rate until next October. Two
cents won’t do at all.
The Brunswick and Western.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun states
that the engineering corps of the Bruns
wick and Western railroad are going
right ahead with the preliminary sur
vey. They learn the corps has passed
Cusseta and are now surveying several
miles below there. The line of survey
from Columbus runs across Bull creek
just below the bridge on the lower
Lumpkin road, then along the road to
Woolfolk’s bridge on the Upatoi. It
then passes through a heavily timbered
pine country along by Harp’s mill, and
up the Oswickee valley to Cusseta. It
leaves Cusseta about one-half a mile to
the left and crosses the Hitchitie hills
three or four miles below at Thomp
son’s gap. The proposed line from
that point is along a level ride via
Weston Webster county, all the way
to Albany.

and was called to order by President
Boynton, who said:
“Senators, it gives me great pleas

the same wise and careful consideration
of all matters of legislation that may

policy in a Legislative body; but wis
dom first dictates a thorough investi

of the great questions of State, which
the people have placed in our hands.
Wishing you each a pleasant stay at
the capital and a'satisfactory disposi
tion of the various measures you may
feel called upon to present to the body,

A Murderer’s Knife Stayed By a
Bolt From Heaven.
At Bay St. Louis, a suburb of New
Orleans, on the Mississippi sound, du
ring a heavy thunder storm about noon
recently, two cattle dealers, Odum and
Borden, were struck by lightning and
instantly killed. The two men were
standing under a pine sappling, near
the railroad depot, engaged in a hot
quarrel. Borden held a long butcher
knife in his hand ready to plunge into
the heart of his opponent, when the
fatal bolt fell and ended the quarrel,
so far as this world is concerned at
least. The crown of Borden’s hat was
burned out, his whiskers were scorch
ed and there wore two little black spots
to be seen on his right shoulder. Oth
erwise he looks perfectly natural, but
Odum was as black as a negro, and his
head was swollen as big as a water
melon. The soles of Odum’s shoes
were burned off, and some pieces of
gold and silver in his pockets were
melted together.
In no other medicinal prepa
ration have the results of the most in
telligent study and scientific inquiry
been so steadily and progressively util
ized as in Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It
leads the list as a truly scientific prep
aration for all blood diseases.
The Newark Advertiser expresses
some educational views which are as
applicable to Georgia as to New Jersey.
Of technical schools it says: “Yet the
general idea of what is needed is by no
means definite. Some think that the
schools might add an industrial educa
tion to their usual course, and thus turn
out scholars prepared for a trade; others
are aiming to substitute an industrial
school in the place of the high or nor
mal school. The theory is the same,
but to be accomplished in different
ways, the advocates of both plans con
tending that while pupils are put on the
way to become preachers or lawyers, it
is only right that those who are destined
to be mechanics should have a prelimi
nary training with that end in view.
The constant presentation of a techni
cal school as the necessity of an indus
trial city has awakened a strong desire
for such a school without knowing by
what means it can be accomplished.
And the more the subject is investi
gated the greater are the difficulties
that present themselves. Those who
have examined the best schools in this
and other countries are at a loss what
to recommend. Much of the technical
education abroad is special, and is de
signed and supported by large man
ufacturers in order to obtain experts
in their own branches of work. To
attempt the teaching of all trades or
even the principal mechanical branches,
in one building, would be not only an
impossibility, but the attempt would
cost a sum that only great wealth and
unbounded liberality could supply. It
may be urged, and truly, that as read
ing, writing and arithmetic are the t a
sis of all book learning, so there are
certain underlying principles in me
chanics and the arts, and that these
can be taught at least. It is doubtful
whether even this can be accomplish
ed unless as a separate effort. When
pupils drop their books and begin to
think of the serious duties of life they
need to give their whole minds to it,
and they cannot safely mix one branch
with another.
Southern Cultivator for July.
The midsummer issue of the South
ern Cultivator is promptly on our ta
ble and in its varied array of enter
taining reading, presents an attraction
for all people interested in agriculture
that can hardly be surpassed. We
find in it a neat compliment from an
exchange (published in South Caroli
na) which we fully endorse: “An ex
amination of this excellent publication
for sometime past shows it to be the
foremost journal of its kind in the
South, and for this section is unap
proached by any agricultural paper of
which we have any knowledge.”
Among the many interesting articles of
thisnumber are Dr. Jones’ “Thoughts
for the Month,” and the “Inquiry De
partment” conducted by him, the la
-a most admirable feature of the pa
per and one which we find in no other
paper anything like as extensive as in
the Cultivator editorials on various
subjects, including cotton, the grasses,
a full discussion of Jute culture. Poul
try, Stock, Grange and Fashion De
partments, further discussion oi “Dirt
Roads,” “The Family Circle,” Child
ren’s Department” and much else
which we have not space to mention.
Bill Arp’s Letters, written especial
ly for the Cultivator appear regularly.
Mr. David Dickson continues his spe
cial contribution, giving his brother
farmers the result of many years ex
perienre as a practical farmer. A page
is set apart to “Education” in this is
sue, with a fine portrait of Prof. Mal
lon, the pioneer of Public Schools in
Georgia, and the man above all others
who gave to the common schools the
efficiency and popularity which they
have attained.
Our farmer readers can certainly
spare $1.50 at this season or any time,
tor a year’s subscription to this excel
lent paper. Address Jas. P. Harrison

How two Southern Generals
Meet Next July.
It is unknown now just what the
Cuban planter said when he saw in the

that his ticket, No. 71,189, had drawn

A SAD DEATH;
jD
A Young Lady Starts Home, An®
Drops Dead Just After Boarding
the Train.
Albany New3 and Advertiser July 1.
Saturday morning Miss Emma Mor
gan, daughter of Mr. James Morgan,
of Lee county, in company with her
brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs.
John Irwin, of this city, boarded the
12 o’clock train to go home, and soon
after taking her 6eat in the car she fell
dead—without a word or act of warn
ing to those around her.
Miss Morgan had been on a visit to
Mr. and Mrs. Irwin, and, while she
had been in rather bad health for some
time past, nothing had occnred to warn
her or the family of the sad event of
Saturday. She was apparently as well
as usual, and conversed with her sister
and others tip to the very moment of
her death. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin had
started home with their sinter to spend
Sunday at the parental home, little
thinking that she would be a corpse
before their short journey was fairly
begun.
The train left very soon after the
young lady died, and perhaps the fiist
intimation that her family had that all
was not well with her, waß the arrival
of her lifeless remains. What a shock
it must have been! The family and
friends were anticipating a happy re
union, but their joyous anticipations
were changed to mourning, and the fu
neral will to-day take the place of a
happy family gathering. “Man pro
poses, but uod disposes.”
The Fiscal Year.
The fiscal year of the government
was ended last Saturday night, and its
approximate figures are ready for the
public eye. The year’s receipts will
not vary much from 400 millions, of
which amount 220 millions was gath
ered in at the custom house and 140
millions in the internal revenue offices.
$8 a head has heretofore been collected
—a family of five paying $40 —al-
though the interest on the public debt
has fallen below one dollar a head,
from $4.29 per capita in 1865. It is
scarcely necessary to say that $8 a
head is altogether more than the gov
ernment needs, or can economically ex
pend after meeting the demands of the
sinking fund. We are ovettaxed, and
when the bottom facts of the prevailing
dullness are ascertained, taxation will
assume great prominence. We are tax
ridden in an indirect manner, and many
people do not appreciate the weight of
the burden. It is very difficult to esti
mate the receipts of the new fiscal year,
owing to the changes in the tariff and
revenue laws, but the best opinion is
that the income of the government will
very nearly reach 400 millions.
Stewart County Items.
The Lumpkin Independent furnishes
the following items:
We have been having too much
rain, and the result is sap>py corn and
grassy cotton.
Governor Henry D. McDaniel’s
grand-mother was a sister of our es
teemed fellow-citizen, Capt. N. R.
Ilalliday.
On Sunday night last, during a
heavy electiical storm, the dwelling of
Mr. William Hawes was struck by
lightning. Mr. llawes was sleeping
in the front room on the south side ol
his dwelling, which fronts to the east,
when the bolt struck. The weather
boarding and ceiling was knocked off
and a brace to the chimney broken,
making a large hole in the side of the
house. Mr. Hawes had just rolled
over when the pieces ot plank and de
bris were hurled against the bed, strik
ing the spot he had just vacated.
Another heavy rain storm prevailed
in this county on Sunday night last,
which proved very disastrous to bot
tom lands. Corn was beaten down
and left in a soggy condition. Oats
shocked up in some fields was ruined.
At Beall’s bridge, on the Golochee, the
water reached a higher point than ever
noticed before. A short while ago the
bridge was washed away and lumber
had been hauled to replace it. The
lumber was piled up some twenty-five
feet from the former high water mark,
but this last rain caused such a swell
in the creek that the lumber was wash
ed away.
Mr. Hill, juror No. 1, in the case of
the State of Tennessee vs. Polk, who
was discharged by the court because
he had been the dairyman of Mrs. J.
K. Polk, has published the following
card:
Judge Allen and General Washing
ton are bigger men than I am, and are
smarter men than I ever hope to be,
but on the question of honor and hon
esty I don’t bow my head to them. I
am their equal, and ask them no odds.
1 came from as good stock as either of
them, and will stand by my good name
and defend it anywhere, anyhow and
against anybody.

What it did for an Old Lady.
Coshoction Ftation, N. Y.,1
Dec. 28th, 1878. [
Gents —A number of people had
been using your Bitters here, and with
marked effect. In one case, a lady of
over seventy years, had been sick for
yiars, and for the past ten years has
not been able to be around half the
time. About six months ago she got
so feeble she was helpless. Her. old
remedies, or physicians, being of no
avail, I sent to Deposit, forty-five miles
away, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters.
It improved her so she was able to
dress herself and walk abontthe house.
When she had taken the second bottle
she was able to take care of her own
room and walk out to her neighbor’s,
and has improved all the time since.
My wife and children also have derived
great benefit from their use.

AYER’S PILLS.
A largo proportion of tlie diseases Which
cause human sullering result from derange
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
Ayer’s Cathartic Tills act directly upon
these organs, and arc especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange
ment, including Constipation, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
Pills by eminent physicians in regular prac
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they arc held by the medical profes
sion.
These Pi li.s are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes :
“Ayer’s Pills are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. I have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your
Pills are the only thing I could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
1 have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and 1 always do so
when occasion offers.
W. L. Page, of W. L. Page & Bro.”
Franklin St., Richmond,Ya., June 3,1882.
“I have used Ayer’s Pills in number
less instances as recommended by you, and
have never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as a
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.
J. T. Hayes.”
Mexia, Texas, Juno 17, 1882.
The Rev. Francis Ti. Harlowe, writing
from Atlanta , Get., says: “For some years
past I have been subject to constipation,
from which, in spite of the use of medi
cines of various kinds, I suffered increasing
inconvenience, until some months ago 1
began taking Ayer’s Pills. They nave
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health.”
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills correct irregu
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe
tito and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.
