POLITICAL.
The letter given below has been for
warded to lion. B. II. Hill, member
of Congress from the ninth District
It is to be hoped that this distinguished
orator will visit our town before the
election in October. We desire to
have a greater enthusiasm among the
Democracy of oui county, and waut
the people to be fully alive as to the
duties that devolve upon them. The
contest in the coming election next
month is just as itnportant, and the
issue as grave as it has ever been here
tofore. On the one hand we have the
nominee of the party, endorsed by the
intelligence, and good citizenship of
the county entering the contest not for
the sake of “ the loaves and fishes’’
blit in oliedience to the urgent solicita
tions of the people, and in obedience
to the patriotic calls of duty. On the
other hand is disorganization, a .candi
date endorsed by no party, sanctioned
by no official body, pledged to no prin-
ciples, but pandering to the prejudices
of all. Such a man the people of Ilart
will not and must not select as their
representative. And on the 4th day
of October the people of this county
will show their appreciation of their
past trophies and trumps by rolling up
such a tremendous majority for their
nominee, as will make the opposition
candidate ashamed that he entered the
that she is now prepared to do Dretwroukiiig in
the Neatest and most fashionable styles. With
her experience in the business, she feels sure of
giving satisfaction. may 14,1875—28-tf.

organizing a brass band, surely then,

your convenience, and deliver an ad
dress to our people on the vital issues
of the day. It is perhaps uecdless for
us to stale that there is a universal de
sire on the part of the Democracy of
this county to listen to the burning
words of eloquence fall from the lips
of Georgia’s gifted son, whom we all
hold in eternal honor and love for his
masterly and unparalleled defense of
our beloved South, when her rights
would have been invaded and tram'
pled under the unhallowed feet of the
vindictive crusaders of oppression.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION.
The Sunday School at Providence
Churcli held a celebration on Sabbath
last, we are informed it was quite an
enjoyable affitir. We are pleased to
know the zeal the people of Providence
manifest in the Sunday School cause.
A few years ago the Sunday Schools
all over the county were in a very
nourishing condition, and the annual
celebrations were large and brilliant.
We fear that too little interest is now
taken in the matter. Every Church
in the county ought to have a Sunday
School, and particular efforts made to
make them entertaining as well as in
structive to the young.
EDUCATIONAL.
It is now definitely settled that Prof.
Looney .and. his admirable lady will
remain in Hartwell the next year, and
those who It'ave been hesitating can
make their.arrangements accordingly.
Those who can not or don’t wish to
rent shouldfScome ahead and build.
There are several strong reasons why
Hartwell presents facilities superior to
almost all ^&her places. Some ot
these we propose to mention. In the
first place \ws venture the assertion
that the teasers who have charge of
our high School can’t be surpassed in
the State, that for thoroughness of cul
ture and raplpfty with which they ad
vance students, they have no equals.
This of itself jp no small consideration.
In the secondjfplace, Hartwell is most
beautifully located with a fine bracing
atmosphere, Jiving cheap—the moral
tone of the place good, and no alluring
and insiduous temptations thrown
around students to deter them from ap
plying themselves with assiduity to
their studies. Students coming front
a distance will meet with the most
genial kindness and cordiality from
our people, who are by nature aud
practice, social, clever and agreeable.
They are upt swayed and influenced
by any artificial pagentry or false
glamor of wealth, but they make solid
worth the crfteiion of appreciation.
Students whjthave to defray their own
expenses, who at^not *• the favored
mtze in dress, and forego lnduTgefifee apolis, Aliy t tu, to s-
iu regard to the luxuries of life, yet if
they manifest studious habits, and no
ble and aspiring intentions, will re
ceive the same approbation, and same
encouraging aid from our people as
those who are the proud inheritors of
princely estates. In view of these
facts, we confidently expect to witness
an unparalleled success of the High
School, the coming year. The people
of our own county we feel will lend
the institution their uncompromising
and undivided efforts. Their patri
otism as well as their own self interest
will prompt them to do so. And
just as soon as the true merits of our
institution become circulated at a dis
tance, and it is known that our School
here is organized on a permanent ba
sis, that we don’t inteud to be without
a good School and the best of teachers,
it will then begin to receive a more
liberal patronage from other counties,
and will be advanced to a brilliant
pcs’tiou of success and influence. Let
all our people co-operate and work
zealously to accomplish this desirable
result.
The Yellow Fever.
Savannah. September 9.—Total in
terments to-day, 12, 10 of which were
yellow fever. Of this number 7 were
children, 9 years and under. From
the Savannah A r ctcs we learn that on
Friday the total interments was 16,
11 from yellow fever. Thus it would
seem that the pestilence is abating.
The News affirms that the excite
ment is rapidly subsiding and that the
streets present a more cheerful ap
pearance.
Gov. Tilden’s brother Moses Y.
Tilden is dead.
From Charleston.
Charleston, Midnight, September
8.—The city is quiet, the streets being
patrolled by detachments of the white
clubs. The colored Democrats held a
meeting to-night under the protection
of a strong guard.
THE LATEST.
Charleston, September 9.—All
quiet to-day. The excitement calm

Notwithstanding the encouraging
tone of the dispatches and the ad
vices from the News of Savannah, tlife
following appeal was published last
Friday morning in the Atlanta pa
pers.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 11th, ’76.
Editor Georgian—Sir : I enclose
you a card I have just received. Will
you please give notice that aid is
needed, and the generous spirit of
our city will respond as they have’al
ways done.
I will cheerfully forward anything
that may be contributed, or it may
be sent directly to the “ Benevolent
Association’’ of Savannah.
Very Respectfully,

ORGAN COMMITTEE.
At the Methodist Church last Sab
bath a committee was appointed to
solicit subscriptions for the purpose of
purchasing an organ. This is a move
in the right direction, aud we feel con
fident that the necessary sum will be
easily raised. Last year a subscrip
tion list of two hundred dollars was
very easily obtained for the purpose of
Ait Important Matter.
[Communicated.]
Jfr. Editor : . The price of cotton
always has been, at the South, a reg
ulator of values. As compared with
last year, its price has declined fully
twenty-jive \>ev cent. Can the farmers,
therefore, afford to pay as much for
piekiug cotton this year, as they did
last season ? Ought not the price of
this kind of labor to descend with
the price of cotton ? If 50cts. per
hundred was paid last year, ought
not 37 1-2 cts. to be sufficient now.
Meat, bread and clothing are cheap,
and laborers can afford to work at
reduced rates.
Live and let live, slionld be our

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Savaunab is now being scourged
by an epidemic, which is growing in
force with little or no" prospect of
abatement. I am in receipt of a let
ter from the bead of the Benevolent
Association conveying the informa
tion that money, provisions and
clothing are greatly needed to succor
the suffering sick. The destitution is
great and demands immediate relief.
At the request of the association
which is using every effort at its corns
mand to combat the disease and to aid
the sick, I make this appeal to the
people of Georgia for aid. Donations
of money, provisions, especially
chickens and fowls, butter and eggs,
and such other food adapted to sick
persons, will afford great relief. I am
authorized to say that the Central
railroad and all its branches aud the
State road will transport all articles to
the sick free of charge. All packages
should be directed to J. F. Wheaton,
Chairman of the Benevolent Associa
tion, Savannah, Georgia.
State papers please cop^or notice.
Albert R. Lasiar,
Agt. Benevolent Association.
Following up this is an earnest
appeal to A .hens which the following
correspondence will duly explain.
Atlanta, Geo., Sept. 10, 76. -
Maj. Lamar Cobby Athens—
Dear Sir: Savannah needs aid
for her sick. Will you move iu the
matter in your town ?

Human Nature.
It is the same here as in Cairo or
New Jersey. The other day when a
tar-heel, with sunken eyes and high
cheek bones, sat down on the steps of
a grocery, besides several others, he
sighed heavily and asked :
“ Gentlemen, if any of you found a
five on the sidewalk, would you hunt
for the owner ?”
“ I would,” came from each indi
vidual with promptness and dispatch.
“ Haven’t any of you lost a five,
have you?’’ anxiously continued the
man.
“I have,” answered one, and the
echo went all along the line.
“ Describe her, gentlemen,’’ he re
marked.
One said his had a tigura “o’’ on it.
Another said his had a picture of
DeSoto discovering the Mississippi
river. A third said the words “ U.
S.” were plain to be seen on the bill
that fell out of his vest pocket.
“ Gentemen, this five don’t tally,”
mournfully remarked the tarheel.
“ None of you have hit the description
within a mile and a aand-bar.”
“ Let’s see,’’ asked two or three at
once.
“ It’s a five, and I found it on the
sidewalk,’’ ho whispered, holding out
his hand.
Tho five was a nickel. Some of the
crowd leaned back, and held their out
raged hearts, while others rose up,
carefully brushed their coat tails, aud
said it was time to go home. Only one
of the victims seemed to appreciate the
situation. He chuckled and gurgled
and grasped, and asked the stranger
what he would take.
“ Whiskv straight,’’ was the prompt
reply. r .
“ So would I if I ever drank,” said
the citizen, and be lounged down town
to get up a bet on.the weather.
