The Louisville Edition
OF THE
Sumter Republican,
September 14th, 1883.
We propose on tlie atiove date to
issue, independent of onr large weekly
edition, several hundred extra copies of
the Weekly Sumter Republican, five
hundred copies of the same to be sent
to the managers of the Southern Expo
sition at Louisville, Kv., which will
he on exhibition at Louisville and Cin
cinnati, Ohio, a space in those cities
having been fitted up for the exhibition
of all Georgia papers. The Republi
can desires to be represented, and we
propose to contend for the premium
offered to Georgia papers.
This issue of the Republican will
contain much information of a general
character, and it will he our aim to
give a correct history and make known
the resources of this section of the
grand old State of Georgia. Louisville
and Cincinnati are the inner and outer
open gateways for capital and immigra
tion to the South, and we desire to
allow through the Republican the ad
vantages that this interesting portion
of the State of onr Sunny South has
over other sections, which the world
will yet be on tiptoe to see and to
know.
In order that Americus may bo well
represented, we will he pleased to
receive the card of every one doing
business in Americus, whether profes
sional, merchantile or any mechanical
branch. We merely want the card of
each, simply stating the businsss and
location. In short we propose to get
up a business directory, classifying
each business under appropriate heads.
TERMS.
Card one inch, SI.OO
Card two inches LSO
Card half inch, <>o
Those rates are very low and are
only asked to meet expenses and not to
make money. There is no one connect
ed with the professions or business of
any kind but who will be willing to give
the small amount asked, to be repre
sented in this issue of the Republican,
which we hesitate not to say will be
the best paper ever issued from any
press in Southwest Georgia. The city
editors will call on every business man
in the city for their cards during the
next two weeks, and we hope that every
one will respond to their call.
Publisher's Notice.
We earnestly desire that those who
are indebted to us will settle at their
earliest convenience. We have carried
a number of our friends through a long
and dull summer season, and of course
it has been a tax upon our resources,
and now that cotton is coming in and
bringing a good price, we hope that
our friends will not forget us. The
numerous amounts due are relatively
small, but in the aggregate they amount
to a great deal to us. We mention
this in a spirit of pleasant reminder,
because we are all too prone to neglect
small matters, and sometimes, though
not intentionally, to the injury of onr
friends.
No less than eight attempts within
the last ten days have been made to
burn Lynchburg, Va. The communi
ty is greatly alarmed and guards are
employed to protect property.
Georgia’s Wealth.
Georgia is to-day worth, if men
would give in the value of their estates
and personal property, not a cent less
than four hundred million of dollars.
Chatham county is worth ten mil
lion of dollars more than i3 returned.
Richmond, six million. Fulton, ten
million. Bibb, five million. Muscogee,
five million, and so on to the end of
the chapter.
There remains little room for donut
that electricity will eventually take the
place of steam as a motive power.
Harnessed lightning, in its application
'to the Tailway service, is already be
yond the experimental stage. Tram
cars are to he run between Paris and
Versailles by electricity, and in Lon
don and Rerlin contracts have been
signed for introducing this new motor
on railroads. No material advance is
making, however, in experiments with
the electric light. It appears altogeth
er probable that gas will hold itß own.
But steam must go.
Lunatic Asylum.
We are indebted to Hon. Wm. M.
Hawkes, one of Sumter’s representa
tives, for a copy of the Report of the
Joint Committee on the Lunatic Asy
lum, from which we cull the following:
On July 21st, 1883, there were in
the institution one thousand and sev
enty-two patients. The expense per
diem is a little over thirty-five cents.
The cost for maintenance of institu
tion for six months, ending April 30,
1883, was $76,248.92.
The committee recommend the ap
propriation for new bnildings, gas
works, furniture, etc., the sum of $92,-
875.53.
The committee recommend that the
Trustees inquire into and report to the
next session of the general assembly
upon the feasibility of building and
maintaining a branch railroad, or tram
road, to some accessible point on the
line of the Central railroad.
We copy from the report the follow
ing paragraphs:
From the close and thorough exami
nation of the books of the Steward and
Treasurer we are satisfied that all mon
ey appropriated to the general fund for
the maintainance of the asylum, and
the money appropriated to the special
fund for the enlargement of the asylum
buildings, is honestly paid out by
proper authority and upon proper
vouchers, reflecting great praise on Mr.
John Hammond, Steward, and Thomas
T. Windsor, Treasurer Both of these
officers have been honest and faithful
in the discharge of their duties.
Before closiug this report we must
express our highest satisfaction of
Fleming G. Grieve for his efficiency as
Secretary, and the unbounded interest
ho takes in all matters pertaining to
the institution, is worthy of the high
est commendation. His system of
book-keeping and remarkable regular
ity in his duties deserve great praise.
While we have differed with the
Trustees in relation to some matters in
the management of the Asylum, as de
tailed in this report, it is but our duty
as well as our pleasure to uay that
these were hut matters of judgment,
and that- in all respects the affairs of
this institution are honestly managed,
and with a view to the best interest of
the State. Especially is the President
of the Board, Hon. L. N. Whittle, de
voted and faithful in the performance
of the arduous and responsible duties
which devolve upon him.
Taken as a whole, we believe that
this institution, which has justly been
called Georgia’s greatest charity, may
well be looked upon with pride by
every citizen of the State.

Gainesville Southron: “There are
living in the north end of this county
two young men named John and Sam
Pasco, who are twins, and look and
dress exactly alike. Two oi three years
ago they married twin sisters, who
look and dress exactly alike. The boys
built two cottages that look exactly
alike, and each lady has a child about
the same age that look very nearly ex
actly alike. All are in excellent health
and last week the whole party came to
the city behind a span of beautiful
mules that were nearly exact matches.
The boys are partners in mercantile
business, and are prosperous gentle
men. If any county in the State can
beat this true story on matches, let
them step to the front and take the pre

Reunion of the Veterans of the Old
Regiment in Augusta—Officers
Elected and tiie Old Flag Un
furled.
Augusta Evening News, August 29th.
The reunion of the gallant Fifth
Georgia is at hand, and Augusta’s
heart and halls are opened to receive
the veterans of one of the bravest and
stoutest regiments that ever went out
to battle for the Sunny Southland. A
glad and cordial welcome is written on
every hand, and the hall of the Clinch
Rifles, where the veterans met this
morning; flags are unfurled and afloat
expressed the sentiment of the city,
“Welcome to the Fifth Georgia Regi
ment, C. S. A.”
A large number of the veterans of
the regiment and representatives of all
of the old companies met at ten o’clock
to-day in the Hall of the Clinch Rifles
on Seventh street. The exercises were
opened by Capt. George Adam, Pres
ident of the local organization of the
Survivors of the Fifth who called the
meeting to order and delivered an ap
propriate and heartfelt address of wel
come to Augusta. A strong and feel
ing response was delivered by Judge
Edward 11. Pottle. Capt. of Cos. D.,
of the regiment, and he did eloquent
justice to the occasion and to the sen
timent of the hour. Hon. Corporal
W. D. Tutt was also called upon, and
to say that he did justice to himself
and honor to the regiment expresses
the verdict of the meeting.
The regiment next, went into regu
lar organization for the Regimental
Association, and the following officers
were elected:
President—Lieut. Colonel J. F.
Iverson, of Columbus.
Secretary—John Neely, of Ameri

Chief Cook and Bottle Washer—

he arose bowed and was cheered on his

Captain Pottle called attention to
the fact that Mingo Kiddoo, another
colored cook and fiiend of the regi
ment, was still living in Colmnbus,
and Capt. A. C. Holt, notified the reg
iment of the death of old Ebenezer
Copper, another faithful hero and cook
of the old Fifth.
A resolution by W, K. Pilsbury, of
Cos. B. Griffin Light Guards, that Sec
retary John Neely should write a his
tory of the regiment for circulation
and preserving the records was adopt
ed.
Captain Pottle’s motion to arrange a
roll of the survivors and of the dead of
the regiment, and report this afternoon
was adopted and afterwards reconsid
ered, when Lieutenant George Adams’
motion that all statistics be obtained
by the Vice Presidents in each compa
ny and turned over to Prof. Neely,
was adopted.
Considerable correspondence was read
to the meeting from absent survivors,
and was received as information.
Corporal Tutt announced the maxim
of the regiment to march one hour and
rest ten minutes. Ho said that several
of his friends were very dry, and he
moved to rest ten minutes. The mo
tion was carried without a vote, and
Corporal Tutt and the awkward squad
went off and drowned themselves in the
punch bowl.
After recess Capt. Frank G. Ford
announced that the noble wife of their
old Brigadier General, John K. Jack
son, had offered the regiment the old
brigade flag, presented at Missionary
Ridge, for the reunion and the parade
on the morrow. The announcement
was received with cheers, and on the
call for the unfurling of the old flag,
Colonel Iverson ordered the regiment
to receive it rising. As the beautiful
old banner was unfurled by Captain
Ford, cheers rent the air, and respect
ful admiration and love lit the eyes of
the assembled survivors.
Mr. P. G. Burum moved that Mrs.
John K. Jackson, the wife of their
Brigadier General, be made a life hon
orary member of the association. The
motion was adopted unanimously and
with applause.
Captain Kiddoo offered Cuthbert as
the next place of reunion, Mr. Pilsbury
offered Pensacola, and Colonel Burney
offered Macon. Pending this discus
sion the meeting adjourned, after dis
cussing the probability of being able
to vote on this question at the barbe
cue to-morrow.
The Regiment will be driven over
the city this afternoon and will meet
at 3:30 o’clock to-morrow morning at
Clinch Rifles Hall. AlO o’clock the
procession will march up Broad, take
the cars for the Platz where the bar
becue and feast will he spread at two
o’clock.
At 1 o’clock the oration will be de
livered by Maj. J. B. Cumming, and
after this opening of addresses, several
speeches and toasts will revive the old
memories of the boys in gray. The
toast to “The Old Fifth” will be re
sponded to by Hon. E. H. Pottle, and
to the “Fallen Heroos of the Regiment”
by Hon. W. D. Tutt. Other toasts
will be given, and suitable responses
will be made.
SECOND day’s PROCEEDINGS.
Auocsta, August 30.—The royal
reunion of the old Fifth Georgia Regi
ment is a grand success, and the sec
ond day’s programme is still it) pro
gress at the Platz. After riding over
the city last afternoon, the regiment
met at 8:30 o’clock this morning in
Clinch Hall, and after the transaction
of the closing business of the reunion,
decided to hold the next reunion in
Macon.
At the assembling to-day at Clinch
Hall, the present active members of the
company were present under Capt. J.
S. Bean, in uniform, and also surviv
ing delegations of Cox’s old battalion
of sharpshooters under Mr. Wm. Mul
heriu, and of the Washington Artil
lery under command of Major I. P.
Girardey.
Brief addresses were made by the
commanders, and Major I. P. Girardey
closed with thanks to the regiment for
enrolling them in the Association, and
by stating that the remnant of his artil
lery were ready with a salute at the
opening exercises at the Platz.
The procession was commanded by
Capt. C. A. Platt, the first Captain of
the Clinch Rifles, and Lieut. Colonel
Iver Son of thi Regiment and formed at
ten o’clock on the corner of Broad ami
Seventh. It marched up Broad and
took cars for the Platz. The Clinch
Rifles Band headed the procession, and
the strains of Dixie enlivened the
boys and stirred up the old Confeder
ate fire of the reunionist. Each com
pany of the survivors was led by the
highest officer in command, aud the
procession made a regular old Confed
erate line of battle. In the center of
the column marched the Clinch Rifles
under Capt. Bean, a guard of honor to
the old colors of the brigade and regi
ment together with the war flags of
the old Clinch Rifles and Irish Volun
teers.
At the Platz the day was passed in
reviving old memories and actiDg over
the days and doings of twenty yearß
ago. The chief event was the oration
of Major Joseph B. Cumming at ones
o’clock this afternoon. The lateness
of the hour prevents any extracts or
reference to his address, hut the very
appearance of this distinguished and
gallant member of the regiment exci
ted unbounded enthusiasm. His words
were patriotic, and his eloquence caught
new fervor from his reminiscences of
the times that tried mens souls. We
regret that the time of going to press
prevents a full synopsis at least of
his stiring and superb oration.
The barbecue and feast followed the
oration. The order of toasts and elo
quent responses is as follows:
First Toast—“ The Fifth Georgia
Regiment.” Response by Hon, E. H.
Pottle, Capt. of Cos. D.
Second Toast—“ The Washington
Artillery.” Response by Charles
Spaeth.
Third Toast—“ Cox’s Battalion of
Sharpshooters.” Response by Wil
liam Mulherin.
Fourth Toast—“ Col. John K. Jack
son.” Response by Lieutenant Colo
nel J. F. Iverson.
Fifth Toast—“ Santa Rosa, Mur
fresboroand Chicamauga.” Response
by Lieutenant C. B. Hudson.
Sixth Toast—“ The Women of the
Confederacy.” Response by 31. P.
Carroll.
Seventh Toast—“ The Lost Cause”
Response by Maj. Joseph Ganahl.
Eighth Toast—“ Our Dead Com
rades.” Response by Corporal W.
D. Tutt.
Southern Cultivator for Septem
ber.
The first Fall number of this, the
South’s leading agricultural publica
tion, comes promptly on time, and is
full, as usual, of the very best reading
for the Southern agriculturists and
their families.
This number opens, as all the others
do, with Dr. Jones’excellent Thoughts
for the Month, marking out the work
for September with that precision and
care for which many years experience
as a farmer and as an agricultural
writer has qualified him. We will
only mention a few of the leading arti
cles of this excellent number, assuring
our readers that if they are not sub
scribers they really are neglecting a
privilege that is in reach of all.
The “Silo” is written up by Mr.
Henry W. Grady, who gives a full de
scription of Mr. A. J. Orrne’s Silo,
within a few miles of Atlanta; “Good
Dirt Roads” and “Onr Public High
ways” are discussed; the sixth number
of Dickson’s System of Farming” duly
appears, and in it is discussed “The
Cultivation of Corn.” “Ditching and
Terracing,” “The Legal Department,”
“Patrons of Husbandry” and “Bill
Arp’s Letter,*” written especially for
the Cultivator, are all interesting
features.
The September number has a plan,
with illustrations, for building a model
Gin House, well worth a year’s sub
scription to the paper. The Jersey,
Horse, Hog and Poultry Departments
are full and interesting.
$1.50 will pay for a year’s subscrip
tion, which amount is exceedingly
small compared to the benefits to be
derived from its reading; or, better
still, to clubs of five the paper is put
at $1.25 a year each, to clubs often at
SI.OO each. Address Jas. P. Harrison

Paris, August 28. — The city is the
scene of great excitement to-day. Dur
ing the night the whole metropolis was
placarded with proclamations declaring
the Compte de Paris King of Franco
as Louis Phillip 11. Ten thousand of
these placards have so far been torn
down by the police. In many places
the police, in their efforts to tear down
the placards, were resisted by the
crowds surrounding the bulletins.
Thus far the police have been unable
to ascertain the names of the persons
who caused the placards to he posted.
