It is too soon to forget the ravages of this terrible disease, which will no doubt return in a more malignant and virulent form in the fall months of 1879. BIERRELL’S IIEP A TINE, a Remedy dis covered in Southern Nubia and used with such wonderful results in South America where the most aggravated cases of fever are found, causes lrom one to two ounces of bile to be fil tered or strained lrom the blood each time it passes through the Liver, as long as an excess of bile exists. By its wonderful action on the Liver and Stomach the Hepatine not only pre vents to a certainty any kind of Fever and Black Vomit, but also cures Headache, Consti pation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia and all Ma larial diseases. No one need fear Yellow Fever who will ex pel the Malarial Poison and excess of bile from the blood by using Mekrell’s Hepatine,which is sold by all Druggists in 25 cent and? 1.00 bot tles, or will he sent by express by the Proprie tors, A.

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA.&c. Case of Colonel <T. C. Branson. Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871. Gents:—For 16 years I have been a great suf ferer lrom Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for 15 years with scrofulous ulcerations. The most approved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed, desponding, 1 was ad vised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd county, Ga., to commence the use ol your Compound Extract Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de scribe the relief 1 obtained from the use of (lie Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea ol the intensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use ol your Extractor Stillingia, until I can say truly, “I am cured of all disease, with nothing to od strucb the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without airy return of the disease.

Gents:—My daughter was taken on the 25th day ol June, 1868, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to appear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was the up re nounced one of White Swelling. After hav ing been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless, I was in duced to try Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Ex tract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued use of the it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, ns her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, 1 Athens, August 25,1880. j The trustees of the University of Georgia, at their last stated meeting in July, adopted, inter alia , the fol lowing statement, in relation to the four branch colleges, at Dahlonega, Milledgeville, Cuthbert and Thomas ville, and the following recommenda tion enjoined upon their secretary : “We are more than gratified to re port the healthy and successful status of each of our schools, and believe that they are awakening an interest in different portions of the state on the subject of popular education, that has uot, heretofore, been seen—let us push this system—and in our opinion, the people will demand, of the legis lature, all the money needful to es tablish it in every part of the state.’* “To t K at end, we recommend, that the secretary of this board shall issue a card to the people of Georgia, showing the number of pupils now being educated in each of the branch colleges, and such other facts in rcla> tion to each of the same, as shall give correct information as to what are our purposes and } lans ; and with a request that the same be published in the different gazettes of the state.” In executing this task, the secreta ry states, that North Georgia Agricultural Col lege at Dahlonega, catalogues 625 pupils. South Georgia Agricultural Col lege at Tliomasville, catalogues 170 “ Southwest Georgia Agricultural College at Cuthbert, catalogues ITS “ Middle Georgia Military and Ag ricultural College at Milledgc ville, catalogues 885 “ The branch colleges at Dahlonega and Milledgeville arc open to stu dents of both sexes; those at Cuth bert and Thomasville are confined to male pupils. These branch colleges charge no tuition fees; they only impose a small matriculation fee upon each student. They prepare pupils for the classes in the university at Athens, when any of such pupils are determined to obtain a complete and liberal educa tion in the arts and sciences. Whenever the trustees ot the uni versity shall be enabled, by the fur ther and fuller endowment of the same, by the legislature, or other wise, to make tuition free to all its students, then the poorest boy, pos sessing sound mind in a sound body, i. e. “mens sana in corpora sano can obtain the highest education, by his own unaided efforts, without pecuni ary assistanse from parent, kinsman or friend. Because he can earn, by a year’s labor for some thrifty farmer in his vicinity, from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars, a sum sufficient to support him during the ensuing year at one of the branch colleges, or at the university; and thus by alternate labor and study he can work his way to graduation in the arts and sciences as bachelor and even as master, and take his seat with the highest literati of the land. Bring this possibility home to our youth, who are hungry forthe higher education, but have not, hitherto, made efforts in this direction, for the reason, that they have not known of its possibility in their own case, and beyond all doubt, our branch colleges and university halls will soon exhibit a status still more gratifying. The demand for branch colleges is manifesting itself in various parts of the state, and the university should be supplied with ample means by the legislature or otherwise, to pro vide for all our great educational wards. The department of agriculture of tho state, might be utilized to great advantage, by forming a close union with the university, and using its professors for the analysis of fertili zers and soils ; for the gradual geolog ical and physical survey of the state; and for the experimental farm— enlarging it to embrace all sorts of crops, fruits and vegetables, with the rearing of all sorts of domestic ani-* mals, not omitting the ornamental and beautiful, and from that source some funds might be realized. is greatly needed a . Normal college at the seat of the university, to prepare professors and teachers for the branch colleges and common schools. The common schools are new to some small extent supplied by advanced students of the branch cob leges and by university students. ButaNoimal college is the proper agency to perfect the profession of teaching. Free common schools are a constitutional duty, and they must have a close union with our higher institutions of learning, to perform their functions to advantage and with success. There is an old law maxim, “ Aqua currit , et debet currere ,” water runs and ought to run. So education runs like water, and it ought to run as freely ; but water runs down, never up, and so of education, it must run down, if it runs at all. Much money has been wasted in the past by losing sight of this important principle. The transfiguration was on the top of the mountain ; at its base, the dumb spirit was exorcised by the Great Teacher, in the presence of the dici ples and the multitude. Funds are greatly needed to pay forthe rebuilding of the burnt col lege at Dahlonega, for putting the building and grounds at Milledgeville in suitable order, for supplying the branch colleges with apparatus and libraries, and for establishing other branch colleges in such portions of the state as will furnish suitable grounds and buildings. The trustees of the university of Georgia have al ready appropriated more of the in come of the land scrip fund to the four branch colleges than they prob ably should have done, in view of the wants of (he university itself. It becomes then a vital question, where are the funds to come from? There is but one answer to this ques tion. The general assembly and lib eral men and.women of wealth, must supply these great wants of the peo j pie. The sum of twenty thousand dollars per annum has been sugges ted as within the ability of the legis lature, without adding any burden to the people by additional taxation. Even a million of dollars in six per cent bonds, has been publicly pro claimed at the seat of government as a proper fund for our present wants. There is no danger of having too much money. The oldest and best endowed institutions of learning in this country and in Europe, are al ways in need of money ; and if they do their duty, they will never have money enough, till the millenium beams upon the world. Our univer sity needs funds for additional pro fessorships at this very time ; espec ially its professor-hip of English lan guage and literature ; for the English language has become the most im portant language of the earth, being spoken by 115,000,000 of people, which is more than double the num ber of people speaking any other Eu ropean language ; and the professor ship of natural history, now partially filled, ought to have its own exclu sive professor; and also the profess-* orship of civil engineering; and in addition to these, we need a drill master for the military feature of the state college. The constitution of 1877, by its various provisions, unifies our sys tem of public education, and by wise and judicious grants of money by the legislature, it is within our reach to realize the ideal of the charter of the university, granted in 1785, which gives anew definition to the word university, meaning thereby not only a curriculum of liberal arts and sci ences, but a system having a collegi ate head and academic members scat tered through the state. In our pres ent circumstances, the university is the head—the branch colleges are the arms—and the common schools are the members of the educational body. We need a bigger head, more arms and better members. Make those all work in harmony, and in a single generation, we may become the best educated people in the world. Now As tlie golden moment to lay. the foundations deep and solid. For a complete and well equipped univer sity is essential to first class branch colleges ; the first class branch colle ges at*e essential to first class common schools; and ail co-operating will se cure the best educated people upon this planer. Let this achievement be your work, people of Georgia, in the spirit of our constitution. Wm. L. Mitchell, Secretary. - —General Luring, late of the Khe-> dive’s army, says there is an obelisk at Thebes 100 feet high, which was erected by Queen Hatsou, 1500 years oefore the good Joseph with a queer coat came into Egypt.

Atlanta, Ga., S: pt. 6, 1880. Col. J. Branham, Rome, Ga.: Dear Sir—l have to acknowledge the receipt ol your letter and in re ply have to state that I am very much astonished at the statements you say were made by Gov. Smith in his speech at Rome. You say he sta ted that Colquitt took a fifty thous and dollar bond with me as surety from the citizens bank on account of the state deposits which he placed there without interest, in preference to a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar bond and three per cent inter est from the bank of the state of Georgia. You surely must be mista ken in the statement made by Gov. Smith as this statement is untrue, I am not security for the citizens banK as state depositor nor in any other way. It never gave a fifty thousand dollar bond with meassurety in any matter oi any character. You state further that Gov. Smith said I took fifty thousand dollars of the citizens bank assets as collateral before. I would sign the bond. There is not a word of truth in this. Also that my son is a director and the bank’s attorney. This is also untrue as to the directorship. My son is attorney of the citizens bank ; but he does not own a dollar of the stock, and is not a director and never was. I own but $3,500 of the stock ot the bank, and it only pays but 0 per cent per annum dividend, I am not a director. As to tho other point about the deposit with the citizens bank when the bank of the state of Georgia offer ed to pay interest I know nothing personally, as I had nothing what, ever to do with any of tho transac tions. It is said that the solvent banks generally declined to do so on the groud that the legislature had limited the rate ot interest they could take to eight per cent; that they could not afford to be limited to that and pay interest. I am also informed that no bank in Atlanta except Mr. Coker’s proposed to pay any interest and that he did not make a proposition until after he was informed that the citizens bank was to have the deposits; that he then said he would pay three percent interest; but on looking over the re ports made by his bank, the govern or did not think well of it and was unwilling to deposit with that bank on account of what he considered its weak condition. I am also informed that one bank in Augusta proposed to pay interest; but would offer no security except their own stock, and that no other bank in Georgia did propose to pay interest. As already stated above, I know nothing whatever of any of these transactions ot my own knowledge as I had no connection whatever with them. As to Gov. Smith’s statement that lam making eight hundred dollars a day out of an iron mine, it is equally as untrue as the statement above mentioned. The Dade coal company, of which I am president, owns an interest in the Rising Fawn iron furnace in Dade county, and it is making a reasonable income. But as every man acquainted with the iron business is .obliged to know, no furnace is making a heavy income at the present price of iron. And you say Gov. Smith adds, “and a large profit from the Dade coal mines with convict labor.” We are making some profit a‘t the Dade coalmines and tlfere we use convict labor, but we are n.o.t working a con vict within fifteen miles of the iron furnace in which we have no inter est. The Dade company also has an interest in iron ore in Bartow county and has built a railroad out to their 'mines three miles, which is nearly Completed. We hope to make some money on that. Is it a crime for a citizen to put his money into the development of the mineral interests, especially if he should succeed in making money by bis energy and enterprise ? If so I have been acting under a delusion. I thought our cit izens desired that kind of develop ment. I am informed from other quarters that my opponents are making the point that 1 am doing all I can and that Gov. Colquitt is doing the same, to prevent the building of the Macon & Brunswick tjiis. £ity. .This is also a very great mistake. While S. A. CUNNINGHAM. I have not a dollar of interest in that enterprise, I have a very considerable interest in real estate in Atlanta, and I have an interest in the W. & A. R. R.; and the more connecting roads we have to Atlanta, the more valua ble my real estate is and the better the business over the state road. To go against the enterprise would be therefore to go against my own in terest. Aud I could see no possible motive Gov. Colquitt could have in opposing it, as he signed the law which provided for its construction and leased with the express condi tion that a road is to be built con uecting with Atlanta upon one of the three routes mentioned in the statute. However, I do not pretend to speak for Gov. Colquitt who is competent to speak for himself. I simply state my connection with the matter and my own position. lam in favor of building all the railroads in Georgia that the people have the money hon estly to build. If men having money invest in such enterprises, they are apt to count the cost and they are not likely to want to put their money into them unless they think the roads will pay. We certainly want all the railroads that will pay and aid in developing the country. You are at liberty to use this state ment as you think proper. Very truly your friend, Joseph E. Browin'. A SLANDER REFUTED. f Constitution.] Daiilonega, September 7.—ln this section of the state the enemies of Governor Colquitt are spreading the report that he is to blame for the non-insurance of our college, and right in the very teeth of truth and facts have the brazen effrontery to assert that he (Colquitt) used the money appropriated by the legisla ture for the insurance of the college on the executive mansion. The whole thing is false from the premi ses to the conclusion and those who originated it ought to have known it was a slander when they started it. For proof of this look on page 8 of acts 0f!877 and you will see an ap propriation made for the governor’s mansion. In the same book look on page 368 and you will see a resolution only appointing a committee of two from the senate and three from the house “to take into consideration the propriety of having the public build ings insured against fire, etc., and report the result to the general as sembly.” It appears from these re cords that the legislative will of the people did not intend to add any further duties to the executive, but appointed a committee of their own body to perform that duty, and now that they (not Colquitt) failed in their duty, shallow-pated slanderers make a lilliputian effort to cast the blame on Governor Colquitt. Shame upon such cowards! This is not the first time Colquitt performed his duty, and others tried to claim the credit. I distinctly remember his fighting about 15,000 with only be tween 4,000 and 5,000 brave Geor gians and Floridans, when his supe rior officer in command was scared. His gallantry on that field of duty, Ocean Pond, saved Florida, and whilst Colquitt was listening to the music of bullets, most of his slander ers were sheltering behind bomb proofs. As one having never seen the moment w r hen I blushed for hav ing w r orn the gray, I dislike to see a man who did his duty thrown down by falsehood and slander, when his very record proves his purity. Mountaineer. THE NORWOOD BOOM HAS DIS APPEARED. There is no boom for Norwood in Georgia. On the contrary, the lack of courtesy on the part ot some of his followers, their rude treatment of the ehivalrie Gordon at Columbus and our gallant governor in Macon, have disgusted the people, and now the ouly question is “how large will be Governor Colquitt’s majority ?” In every meeting on the hustings, and his published reply to Mr. Norwood’s exasperating arraignment at Atlanta and divers other places, thegoVernor has triumphantly routed and over* whelmed his antagonist: 1 That" the truth is mighty and will prevail has been abundantly manifested in Ihis campaigu. Governor Colqtiitt is passing through the furnace heated “seven times hotter” by his oppo nents unsatched, and without even the smell of tire upon his garments. As the choice of the people he will be indorsed by the people at the bal lot-box in thunder tones, if we read aright the signs ofcthe times.—Tele graph & Messenger.
