•Juries and the llip Pocket.
The juries of the country seem
to have got their backs up. We
would advise the gallant boys of
the hip pocket brigade to pause.
The class of men who monopolize
jury duty at present, don’t seem
to have the slightest appreciation
of that lofty pride and high toned
chivalry that makes one of the boys
promptly resent an insu’t with a
bullet. It is sad, but what else
could be expected w hen only about
one sixth of our voting population
are deemed worthy to pass upon
the issue made between tbe Slate
and the boys when they use their
little hip pocket pets.
These ‘‘uptight and intelligent”
men w’ho now occupy the jury box,
seem to have resolved to find ver
dicts according to the strict letter
ot the law, regardless of all sympa
thy and manifesting no appreciation
of the high spirit that characterizes
the boys. It is sad, and while we
are sorry for the boys, we would
advise them io sorrowfully, tender
ly put their pretty little pets away
in their trunks, convert their hip
pockets into segar cases and port
moneys until these evil days shall,
have passed. For white the brave
boys don’t mind beuig shot in a
glorious , soul-thrilling bar room,
or street rencounter, they don’t,
care to face ihe disgrace of the pen
item iary, or the hangsman’s rope.
One thing seems certain, the boys
will have to abandon their pistol
practice, forego the hope of figure
ing in the newspapers as the victo_
rious hero of a stieet or bar room
battle, ot seeing their pictures in
print, of having their own and fam
ily history published throughout
tbe country and being the star char
acter of a court-house farce, or
they will have to go West.. If
they should, more in sorrow than in
anger turn their backs on their na
tiye state to seek a more apprecia
tive clime, and another war should
come upon us what would Georgia
do tor heroes. AgaiD we repeat it
very sad.
A Texas Letter about Kansas.
Aagusta News.
The following letter was received
in this cily by a prominent colored
man, from his brother, who has re
sided in Texas since and before the
war. The letter speaks for itself,
and is commended to the careful
attention of the colored men Id this
sectior. James Stuart asks us to
publish it, in the hope that it will
serve to enlighten any ot his race
ueho may be dissatisfied with their
condition in Georgia.
Haves, Texas, May 31, 1879.
“Dear Brother: 1 am very well
in health, and am doing nicely in
my busiuess. I see by the papers
that many negroes have left the
South for Kansas, and are starving
now in the cities. I write this let~
ter as a warning to your folk.s not
to come here. There is nothing to
do. If you can earn ten cents a
day where yon are, stick to it. I
have been all through Kansas, and
know just what kind of a country
it is. There is no wood and no wa
ter, except when the rivers are up
in the sptmg, when the snow melts
away up in Colorado. Don’t you
believe the government or anybody
else will give people land that go
there. It is all a lie ! Folks can’t
farm any, for they have no land
and no farming tools, and no moo*,
ey to buy . them. Lots ot negroes
have come up from Louisiana and
Missisippy, expecting to have lands
amk mules given them, hut they
wore all badly cheated, for there is
nothing of the kind given away,
and it lakes considerable tnouey to
buy them. The country is not
worth living in, anyway. Very
few trees, except away out of the
roads, and no rain. We had a
storm the other day, the first one
since *ast September. Everything
is drying up, and there is no grass
to speak or. Onr beef herd is now
on the way to Dodge, but I am
working at. the home camp. Love
to yourself and all inquiring friends.
Your affectionate brother,
Gilbert Colyor.”

First, it is necessary to run daily
trains to carry the mail and meet
the necessities of the road. Second
if the fare was reduced many
I would go to Columbus oftener,
and the train would not be so often
without passengers. This is prov
en from the fact that when it is
reduced for excursions the cars
are crowded to their utmost capac
ity, these passengers would not
wait for excursions but, go
along as their desires and business
would suit them This would be
best for tbe road, for they w ould
be relit ved of tbe expense and risk
and extra wear of heavy excursion
trains. And it would be belter for
the passengers, as they would ar
range their trips to suit their busi..
ness, and would not be so crowded
and uncomfortable.
'The same would be the result if
freights were reduced. Now the
road is only patronized w hen Dain
ties can make no other arrangement
for transportation cn wagons; if ihe
freight was reduced, no other ar
rangement would be thought ot ex
cept by the Rail Road, and all
would woik harmoniously, and the
interest of all would be mutually
promoted. These suggestions are
so reasonable that they need no
elaborate argument to prove their
correctness, and they are made by
one who feels a deep interest in the
success of the road, and the welfare
of the people contiguous to the line,
and especially ot the
Citizens of Hamilton.
The Ailanthus Trees.
Atlanta Constitution.
On Saturday a Constitution re
porter fell in with one of the fore
most physicians of Atlanta —proba-
bly the one man whose opinion on
tins subject at least is entitled to
more weight than any other man.
Ot course we touched on the Ailan
thus trees —the prevailing topic of
discussion just now'.
‘‘l cannot give you the exact
principle iu the leaves or the blooms
of these trees that is unhealthy or
injurious—but I have facts at hand
which prove to me conclusively
tiiey are both.
“For instance I know of one la
dy who is sick and has been sick
for some time. Near her residence
| are some of these Ailanthus trees.
She has stated to me time and
again that although she closes the
side of her house next to tbire
trees every night the nauseating
smell arising from them is almost
unbearable. She awakes in the
HAMILTON, HARRIS COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUNE 23,1870.
morning with a racking headache
and iu iho. spittle that sno cough
up she tastes distinctly the nause
ous smell of the trees if one can be
said to taste a smell. She tastes
what is just like thu flavor of the
trees. Near her is another lady
who is sick with these heavy throb
bing’headaches, and has the same
report as to her spittle. To both
of these ladies tbe siried ot these
trees is nauseating and provokes
sickly sensations.
“I know of another case where
there are a number of trees in the
yard and where the whole family
is sick. They do not hesitate to
ascribe their sickness to the influ
ence of these trees, and the smell
of the trees makes them worse. 1
have not the shadow of a doubt
that this sickness came from these
trees. I could give you a dozen
such facts as these. So while 1 can
not say precisely what the essence
in the trees is, that produces such
nausea and sickness, I know tlint
such effects are produced.
“What is the precise form of sick
ness produced by these trees?”
“There are good authorities that
claim that they produce typhoid
dysentery. Ido not see why this
should not be so, and I am inclined
to think it is true. You may notice
that if you walk under one of these
trees at night vou will feel a peculiar
dryness about the roof of the month
and a sort of lrntaton of the throat.
This effect will be produced by
breathing in the neighborhood of
the tree for only a few moments.
Now I do not see why the
continued breaming of Uns in
fected air through the whole night
and through a series ot nights
would but ex’end the irritation
down the throat into the bowels,
and thus produce dysentery or
! some similar derangement. But
it is harely necessary to bother
with the theory of a thing when we
have the facts to establish it.
•‘And then, furthermore, whether
or not these trees are unhealthy,
they are certainly disagreeable, and
are therefore a nuisance. As such
should be abolished.”
Col Avery notes that his wife,
who lived m Spartanburg, S. C.,
many years ago, was attacked with
typhoid fever, which raged through
out the village. There were a
great many of these trees in the
town, and it was believed that they
had something to do, with the epi
demic. So that they w.-re all cut
down, and theie wars not another
case ot typhoid fever in the town
for fifteen years. The senate of ihu
United States twenty-five years
ago passed a law cutting down eve
ry Ailanthus tree in the district of
Columbia. The 6taie of Minnesota
has also ordered them cut down.
So has 1.-diana, and it is believed
also Tennessee. It in certain, there
fore that Atlanta is not alone in the
mat ter.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY I
GAMINE!
A Deodorizod extract of Petroleum,
Tlio Only Article that Will Re
store Hair oil Raid Heads.
Wlmt the World lias been
Wanting for Centuries.
The greatest discovery of onr day, so far as a
largo portion of Immunity is concerned, Is CAK
IIoTJRK. an article prepared from petroleum, and
which effects a complete anil radical cure In case of
baldness, or where the hair, owing to diseases of
the scalp, bus become thin and tends to full out.
It is also a speedy restorative, and while its use se
cures a luxuriant growth of lmlr, It also brings back
the natural color, aud gives the most complete sat
isfaction in the using.- The falling out of tbe hair,
the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature
change In color are all evidences of a diseased con
dition of the scalp and the glamlß which nourish the
hair. To arrest these causes tlio article used must
possess medical as well as chemical virtues, aud the
change must begin under the tcalp to be of perma
nent and lasting benefit. Such an urticle is CAU
BOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discov
eries, it is found to consist of elements almost in
their natural state. Petroleum oil Is the urticle
which is made to work such extraordinary results;
but it is aflei It has been chemically treated and
completely deodorized thut it is In proper condition
fertile toilet. It was In far-off Russia that the
effect of petroleum upon the hair was first observed,
a Government officer having noticed that a partially
bald-headed servant of his, when trimmlug tlio
lamps, had u habit of wiping his oil-besmeared
hands in bis scanty locks, and the result was In a
few months a much liner head of bluclt, glossy liair
than lie ever hud before. The oil was tried on
horses and entile that had lost their huir from the
cattle plague, and the results were ns rapid as they
were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of
horses, which had fallen out, were completely re
stored in a few weeks. These experiments were
heralded to the world, but the knowledge was prac
tically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, as
no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of
refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But the
skill of one of our chemists has overcome the diffi
culty, and by a process known only t.o himself, he
lias, after very elaborate and costly experiments, suo
ceeded In deodorizing refined petroleum, which
renders It susceptible of being handled as daintily
us the famous can do. cologne. The experiments with
the deodorized liquid on the human hair were at
tended with the most astonishing resultfi.OA few
applications, where the hair was thin and falling,
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and
hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears on
the first or second dressing, and the liquid so search
ing in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at
once, and set up a radical change from the start. It
Is well known that the most beautiful colors aro
made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious
operation of nature, the use of this article gradu
ally imparls a beautiful light-brown color to the
hair which by continued use, deepens to a black.
The color remains permanent for an indefinite length
of time, and the change is so gradual that the most
intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress.
In a word, It is the most wonderful discovery of
tbe age, and well calculated to make the prema
turely bald and gray rejoice.
We advise our readers to give It a trial, feeling
satisfied that one application will convince them of
its wonderful effects .—JHUsOurgU Commercial of
Oct. 23, 1877. r
Tbe article Is telling its own story in the hands of
thousands who are using it with tbe most gratifying
and encouraging results :
W. 11. Brim. & Cos., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, says.
“We have sold preparations for the hair for upward
of twenty years, but have never hud one to sell us
well or give such universal satisfaction. We there
fore recommend it with confidence to our friends
and the general public."
Mr. Gustavcs F. Halo, of the Oates Opera
Troupe, writes: “ After six weeks’ use lam con
vinced, as aro ulso iny comrades, that your ‘Carbo
line’ lias and Is producing a wonderful growth of
hair where 1 bad none for years.”
C II Smith, of the Jennie Right Combination,
writes: “ After using your ‘ Carbolinc’ three weeks
l am convinced that bald heads can be ‘re-haired.’
it’s simply wonderful in my case.”
B. F. Arthur .chemM, Holyoke, Mass., writes:
“Your ■ Carboline’ bus restored my hair after every
thing else had failed.”
Joseph K. Ford, attorney-at-law. No. Attleboro,
Mass., writes : For more than 30 years a portion of
my head has been as smooth and free from hair as a
billiard bail, but some eight weeks ago i was In
duced to try vour Carboline, and the effect bus
been simply wonderful, ft here no hair has been
seen for years there now appears a thick growth,
and I am convinced that by continuing its use I shall
have as good a head of hair as I ever had. It is
growing now nearly as rapidly a hair docs after
it is cut.
