i $2.00 /
» $1.50
Wo havo determined, from this date,
to reduce the subscription price to the
Wuklt Sumter Republican to $1.50
a YKAn, to all persons who pay cash
down for their snbscriptions. This
tale is positive and will be strictly
forced. The $1.50 most accompany
the name to enjoy the benefit, of the
duetion.
Those parties who are in arrears
obtain tbe Weekly Republican for tbe
next 12 months for Oss Dollar, by
coming np and paying all arrearages
up to dato at the old price.
We do this in order to place our sub'
scription on a cash basis, as we believe
every subscriber will take advantage
of this unparalleled oiler, and we would
rather have one dollar in cash than five
dollars on out books ,as they have turned
out in tbe past, besides we expect to
add 1,000 new names to onr subscrip'
tion list in tbe next three monthi
The Republican acknowledges
ceipt of the first issue of a new maga
zine, published in New York for
dollar a year, by Dr. Dio Lewis, and
entitled: Dio Lewis’ Nuggets. It
tains much useful information, and is
written in an easy, pleasant style.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock connty has
introduced a bill in the House of Rep'
resentatives making it unlawful tor any
member of the General Assembly
judicial officer of the State to use i
complimentary or free pass on i
railroad, or their employes from ten'
dering such complimentary or
passes. Ten to one this bill does
become a law.
A good suggestion, and one which,
if carried into effect, might relieve the
ritate treasury of some embarrassment,
is made by the Augusta Chronicle,
via: “Let some rich men of Georgii
provide in their wills for a fond to
tablish and maintain a Technological
Institute. Undying fame of the right
kind awaits the man who thus disposes
of some of his money.’’
Lightning does its work before the
victim knows anything. Two
were 6truck while taking refnge under
a troc. Both v’ere carried into the
bouse and laid oof for dead. One of
the men survived, and, after weeks
terrific suffering and infirmity, he got
out again and is still living. Ho said
he knew no more abont having been
•track by lightning than he was
ioious of having lived before tbe flood.
It was all news to him when he
told of the fact.
Not for a score of years has kind
Providence smiled with each benefi-
cience upon the farmers of Georgia and
the .South generally. From every quar
ter comes the glad tidings of lands
teeming with their wealth of corn, cot
ton and ether crops from the tillers
of the s oil. With prosperity every
city, town, village and hamlet will reap
a golden harvest. Business will boom
as it has not done in many years,
and that man who it wise enongh to
lay before the people, through
tbe newspapers, tbe advantages he of
fers, will be sare to come out ahead.
Therefore we would say to our friends
bring on your advertising favors, now,
that yon may reach the people in time.
Delays aro dangerous.
It see tan that tbe doctrine of perfect
holiness has a tendency to unbalance
the mind in some instances. Only a
short while ago we noticed the sad
suicide of Rev. Mike Turner, of Law-
renceville, whoso death is said to havt
been caused by an effort to secure per
fect peace. We were told yesterday
by a’friend from the West of a similar
occurrence which recently happened
out there. It seems that one of the
holiness band took up an idea that he
was a second Abraham and that he
had been commanded by God to make
'a sacrifice of his only son. He bound
the lad to a stake and would have
murdered him had he not been rescued
by friends. The lather was arrested,

LETTER FROM COLUMBUS.
Columbus, Ga., July 80,1885.
Col. Hancock: My rambles are
er and on this beautiful day I will
write this epistle by a dam site, with
the broad Chattahoochee plunging over
the falle in fall view, leaping, lashing
and chaffing with a deafening roar,
dashing its spray over massive rocks,
which seems to jar the solid earth with
the rebonnd of its massi ve waters. Be
yond its banks to the west, tbe green
hills of Alabama tower upwards in tbe
morning son light with many a white
cottage nestling in beautiful bowers,
I have been on tbe wing for some time,
Ifonnd Albany spread out on tbe
banks of tbe Hint river to be a city of
some promise, well governed and tbe
streets broad with many palatial resi
dences and fine architectural cottages.
Bat Albany is wretchedly deficient
manufacturing enterprises. It is a city
of shop keepers with very little pro
ductive wealth, only snch as is gleaned
from the farmers and visitors. It sup
ports two good newspapers, bat me
chanics m®et.with poor encouragement.
~ nude tbe acquaintance of Professor
Shropshire, tbe Painter and Ar-
wbo has resided there for
years. The prefessor possesses
fine literary attainments, is tbe author
eral tales and poems. His
ersation is rich and varied, having
been a close observer, * great leader as
well as an untiring student. He has
been very successful in portrait paint
ing. His landscapes have an exquis
ite finish. I would not give one of
them for all the glaring-gaudy chro-
that was ever painted. What is a
chromo ? Yon exhaust all interest in
them in the first view, onr parlors con-
what every other place has a copy
en in the vilest dens. There is
nothing in them to stndy, and they are
colored so as to attract the uncultured
mind, while every tint is a palpable
violation of nature. The more refined
class of onr people will have nothing
do with them. Years will not exhaust
the interest in an oil painting when
touched by a master hand like Profes-
Shropshire. He spoke ol paying
t to Americas. Because I spoke of
Albany baviag no mechanical enter
prise, do not think that I singled it c
for condemnation, Americas is jast
capable. It sends thousands of dollars
off every year for articles of manufac
ture, which could be made at home
just as cheap, and far more reliable
and better. "My son shan’t be a dirty
mechanic,” says a fleppant paneneu,
“the calling is too low.” It takes
brains to be a good mechanic. He who
made tbe wondcrout heavens was
great mechanic. American mechanics
have excelled all nations. American
mechanics have developed the strength
of Western Continent and to-day
passes every other calling of tbe hn-
race. Your “dirty mechanic,”
possesses more intrinsio natural worth
than the consolidated souls of one hun
dred thousand dudes. I have seen ai
good hnggies built in Americas ai
could be built—yet your shops lan
guish. What a potent power is pnblic
opinion, jast think of it! A college
graduate selling goobers and yankee
notion who has never disgraced him
self by being a mechanic. It requires
bigger brain, sounder judgment,
•re intellectual grasp of thought, and
concentration of mental power to be
good mechanic than a law judge on tl
Supreme bench. These dirty farmers
and mechanics laugh in their sleeves
at this codfish-admixtnre of pride and
nonsense. But the world will continue

OUR FLORIDA TRIP.
On Monday night, the 27th nit., in
company with a few others from
Americas, we boarded the fast mail for
Albany, where we pulled out on the S.
F. & W. R. R., next morning at 7
o'clock for Jacksonville Florida. Be
fore leaving the depot at Albany wo
were introduced to Capt.H.G. Powell.of
No. 33 West Bay Street, Jacksonville,
Fla., whose special charge the excur
sionists were under, and it is a suffi
cient guarantee of a pleasant trip when
we eay tbe gentleman’s avoirdupois is
only excelled by his intelligence, kied-
S8, and affability.
Along the line to Thomasville we
passed a place named Bacon, and while
it seemed to be a pleasant little place,
yet it seems to be as void of grease as
Greasylevel in Schley connty.
Camilla, the next on our note b<*ok,
is not near enongh to the depot for a
passenger to see it, but every thing
seems to point to thrift, even if it is
low and pondy. From this point we
had fairly merged into the regular wire
grass and cypress pond section. Wo
noticed throughout this section that
thdy have had too mnch rain for the
farming interest. Corn is small,
short, and the fodder pulled, and cotton
rusted and opening—some are picking.
Catterpillare are numerous on tho cot
ton, that is in a growing state, and wc
were told that there were no chances
for over a half crop.
We arrived at Thomasville abont
noon, and as we had near two hours to
remain there, we hurriedly “took in
city.” This is one of the thriftiest
neatest towns in Georgia. At i
2 p. m., our cars were coupclod oi
the Jacksonville fast mail train ior
Waycross, which stopped only at the
largest towns. Along this line we
timed tbe speed, which was often one
mile to the minute. The road has bnt
few curves, and less cuts. The coun
try is level, with numerous cypress
ponds, and covered with saw palmeto.
Farms are small and scarce, and the
turpentine business seems to predomi
nate. At Stockton, this side ofDupont,
ants, bnt to inclode its suburban vil
lages and winter visitors they can count
by the scores. The business portion of
the city goes in a rash, and the streets
are narrow and dusty. The place has
a “Olay Street,” bnt onr opinion is,
ed firms, bnt aside irou this class who
genteel and polite, the streets are
thronged with an indolent low class of
colored, who do not give the side-walk
for a lady. With its seven railroads
and steamer facilities, Jacksonville is
destined to he one of the largest cities
of the Sooth.

The Augusta Evening News goes
for John E. Bryant thus: When any
canse has for its champion such i
low as the notorious John E. Bryant
then it is time to call a halt. Bryant
known of all men in Georgia as the
quintessence of all the devilish wicked-
in politics foT the last twenty
years. Now that Radicalism has play
ed ont and Bryant is without a job, he
is posing before the temperance people
of Georgia as a paragon Of perfection.
In the Macon State meeting of Good
iplars last week Bryant made the
following intemperate remark:
also alluded to the local option bill,
and expressed the belief that it would
not pass. If it failed, be urged eloear
organization ami more determined ef
forts, so that legislators might be
taugbt that they could not safely strike
down measures which the temp®
people desired.” Tbe Evening News

The small parks near the depot lends

Wouth, Kan., Aug. 1.—The
midnight west bound train on the T ex *
Pacific road brought a handsome
looking lady of twenty-six years. As
she alighted at the Union depot she
stood on tbe platform under the glar
ing gaslight, closely scanning the few
passers-by at that hour. Suddenly a
gentleman passed with a white hand
kerchief tied on his arm above the el
bow. At sight of him the lady ran
grabbed tbe gentleman and then re
paired to the ladies waiting room ii
the Union depot, and were married by
Rev. Tbos. Ash.
The bridegroom at this strange wed'
ding was Dr. H. C. Lane, well known
throughout Texas as m heavy cattle
dealer and ranchman. The bride
Miss Alice Townsley, of Port Wash
ington, Wis., daughter of ono of the
most substantial citizens of that place.
Abont fi ve years ago Miss townsley
visited friends in San Antonia and
there met Dr. Lane, whose first wife
was the living. They became
friends, and some two years afterward
when Dr. Lane became a widower, he
renewed by letter his pleasant acquaint
ance with the lady, and addressing her
father on the subject of marriage
ceivod a blunt notice that he wo
consent to a daughter of his w

GEORGIA S. 8. CONTENTION.
Rev. Brace Harris, of Rome, made a
short talk and the hour was called for
the selection of a place ol next annual
meeting of the convention. Mr. M.
Ipeer, of Americas, asked that the ark
>f God might rest on his town, and
nominated Americas. Rev. P.H. Grum
pier, of Mtcon, invited the Association
there. Rev, J. W. Lee rose and nomi
nated Rome. This called forth a burst
of applanse and laughter. Secretary
Courtney stated that tha association
was in tbe habit of alternating between
north and south Georgia.
Mr. Speer—“All roads leads to
Rome, bnt we claim it for Americus,
ot as a right, bnt as matter of grace.”
Mr. Crnmpler said the last meeting at
Macon was nnfortnnate, and created
me prejudice against the convention.
Rev. E. J. Benton—“If there wai
any bad feelings in Macon so much the
worse for Macon.
Mr. Crnmpler—"I want to say that
the gentleman although from the Wire-
grass region don’l know where the
wiregrass is. Positively, it is closer to
Macon than Americus.”
Secretary Courtney—“Black-gun

By this time there were one hundred
and seventy-seven of onr party and
among them were several belonging to
the quill driving fraternity, viz: Hall

at Jacksonville about
8 p.m. and found the large and ele
gantly fitted steamer, Chattahoochee,
steamed np ready to receive onr party.
Here many ot onr party branched out
in different directions, only one hundred
and one preferred to go up the historic
St. Johns river, which is a phenomenon
among our rivers, from the fact that it
is the only river in the Union that flows
north from its source, and we
when we say down
try, and vice versa. The Chattahoo
chee was under the management of
Capt. John Fitzgerald, onebf the
skilled and affable captains on th
er, who was selected for his capacity
especially for this “moon light sail.”
After we left tbe wharf we seated onrself
on upper deck to get the breeze and
view the moon light teener, and right
here we will state, that was the first
time that we had been pleasantly cool
since last April.
It is about 220 miles from Jackson
ville to Sanford and np to lake George,
abont half way the river is from one
to five miles wide and the tide ebbs
and flows and the water is salty.
Lake George is 36 miles long and
abont 20 miles wide. This is one of
the loveliest places for sailing in Amer
ica. From Lake George to Sanford,
the river seems to be a chain of small
er lakes connected by narrow crooked
channels. The scenery is the most
pictnrasqne that we ever beheld along
the entire river. Enronte to Sanford,
we passed Wetaca, Palates, Volncia,
Astor, DeLand, Blue Springs and
many other towns that have recently
been built up, and are surrounded by
numerous orange, banana, and pine ap
ple groves.
We arrived at Sanford the next day
at abont noon. This place is situated
on Lake Monroe, opposite Enterprise,
and is at the head of navigation for
large steamers. Sanford is only about
five rears old, has twenty-five hundred
inhabitants, and several large brick
bnsiness houses, and like all the rest of
the Florida cities, towns and crosa
roads, abounds in fine hotels, that ar
almost like “banquet halls deserted'
at this season of the year, and are ove^
crowded with northern visitors during
tha winter, many of whom are con
sumptives-and here wo will state that i
majority of those who wash andiron foi
many consumptives for one season arc
consumptives themselves, so we learn
ed.
. Many'of our party went in different
directions from Sanford, and
sorry that we conld not take in all of
the sights that were offered us by Capt.
Powell and thefi.F.di W. Railroad,bnt
they promise ns another abont the first
of September from Atlanta and all in
tervening points, and if it comes along
“*» will promise ihem to look as long
they exhibit. As was historically
stated of Naples, we nse a part of the
C ation: , “Sail on the St. John’s,

On onr return we spent one day is
Jacksonville, seeing and getting infor
mation. They have all of the tropical
fruits at their doors, mosquitoes, sand
flies, gnats and a thousand other trou
blesome resects in their houses, and
quantities of vegetables daring tbe fall
and winter and early spring, bnt the
weather is too hot for them now, not
withstanding the thermometer ia no
higher there than fk Americas. Upon
visiting Christopher A Livingston at
32 Gity Market, who had been adver
tising with us, and who deal in frnits
and vegetables, we gathered the fol
lowing information that might benefit
onr readeTS. Their vegetables now are
nearly all shipped from Georgia,
LeCoata pears and many grapes
from South Georgia, watermelons
and Irish potatoes from South
west Ga., and apples and peaches
from Southwest to Northwest Ga.—

First Bale Rejected.
Savannah Times: In accordance
with the resolution unanimously pass
ed by the National Cotton Exchange
in July, 1883, reading as fellows: “Re
solved, That this National Cotton Ex
change recommends to the Cotton Ex
change of the United States that a bale
of new cotton be so classed only when
it is fully matured; that any cotton
found in snch bales not fully matured
Bh&ll be considered good grounds for
its rejection; that all first new bales for
examination shall be submitted lor

calculation?” Mr. Crnmpler: “Be

Hon. M. A. Caudler favored Macon for
central position. Some one said there
an artesian well in Americus, and
Mr. Crnmpler said there would soon he
one in Macon, and they had the b’st
water works in the South excepting
Rome, and they had better water than
Rome. He would leave here to-day at
1:40 and take supper iu Macon, if no
accident.
Mr. R. W. Smith: “Does the rail
road train stop at Macon or go on far
ther?” (Laughter.)
Mr. Crnmpler— 1 “Oh the road goes
i,” “Macon did not bite the conven-
>n the thing bit Macon.’’(Laughter.)
Mr. Benton—“We don’t want to
bite Macon any more.” (Laughter.)
After some discussion Mr. Crnmpler
withdrew Macon’s name but Prof. Mc
Intosh put it again in nomination and
Mr. Hugh Willet in behalf of the Ma
con delegation cordially invited the
convention there. The question
called for and a standing vote was
en with the result: Americus 80;
Macon 78.
Mr. Benton—“I want to ask son
Macon man to move a reconsideration.
Mr. Crnmpler—“I hoped that the
brother had reconsidered and that he
would be reconstructed.” (Appl:
and laughter.)
Messrs Crnmpler and Gannt of Macon
were then excused by the convention.
The convention then voted thanks to
Americas for the invitation. The com
mittee on resolutions offered the follow

“It is less than a year before tha
meeting of the convention which will
nominate Georgia’s next Governor, bnt
the qnestion is being generally discuss

President Reppard delivered a short,
fervent address thanking the conven

patting in a good word 'tor the press.
At the close Vice-President Thomas
said a few words of thanks to the con

Secretary Courtney said let the three
be one and let this principle be carried
out between the three great denomina

idea, and made a fitting finale. The

The Land Trouble in Georgia.
A long editorial in a late Constitu
tion deals with a strange Btate of
things in lower Georgia—mainly
Dodge and Telfair oonntiea. Fifty-
one years ago a company of men
gratkl to Telfair and bought a
mill. While they were there they
were granted 300,000 acres of land at
a cost of abont five cents an acre, j
they could not sell or mortgage it
Europe they sold or mortgaged it
tho state of Indiana for $300,000.
1844 Gov. Crawford sold the land
again to parties then living there
those counties. In course of time t
New York men who bought tbe title
held by Indiana, claimed the land and
tho case is to be tried in the federal
court at Savannah. Mr. William E,
Dodge, tho millionaire, and Mr. East
man bought up all the claims of the
speculators and the Bullock legislature
granted Dodge a charter, and the Geor
gia Land and Lumber Company
incorporated, and Judge Speer is 1
on the caso for final decision. What
will be the result between the
claimants no one yet knows, we
pose.
But when that case is settled there
e more to come as we' happen
know, In Clinch and Echols counties
there is trouble. The records in Ware,
Clinch and Lowndes counties have
been destroyed by fire—but Echols
county has its records. An eflort was
made to destroy the latter lately. The
safe in which they were placed v
bored into and charged with explosr
—but tho records were not destroyed.
It is charged that these burnings have
been made to obliterate all trace of ti
tles that forgeries may prevail. Titles
are said to be manufactured to order
and sold readily. The opening for «
posures and damaging revelations
also reported to be great, but the ques
tion is often asked, “What can th<
real owners do ?" It is said the limita
tion for forgery and uttering forgery
expires in a certain time, and after
season of waiting the title holds; and
it is believed that bad laws are making
bad people down there. We would
like to know if this was a law of the
Bullock legislature also ? It is refresh
ing to see how glibly all the burden ii
laid on Bullock and his legisla
ture, yet no other subsequent body is
willing to change the obnoxions stat
utes. If Bullock legislation is agreea
ble, then it certainly stands anyhow,
and while tho front man “takes the
cako”—“the d—1 get the hindmost.'
Jordon is getting to be a hard road to
travel for justice.

LETTER FROM WEBSTER,
Websteb Co., GA.,Aug. 2.—Eveiy
body that lives are debtors to the world
and are nader obligations to discharge
thia debt in some substantial manner.
To onr parents we owe'a lasting debt
of gratitude for their care; to the friends
who hay* encouraged us in various
ways so that we can hardly hope to
full repay. Impressions in childhood
are lasting, and at that age we aro most
easily impressed, and the truths then
distilled into onr being, perform for us
ever achieve in the sublunary
sphere; therefore, men shoulJ strive to
make impressions for .good, and they
may thus, produce a wave that are it
beats the farther shore of time will
bear away every obstacle to the. smooth
sailing of some delicate craft. ~ One of
the principal-debts aro due. is to our
selves. We owe ourselves all the pleas-
that a moral, life can afford us;
though those pleasures should not be
of a sennal kina, hat a gratification of
the desires of onr better nature. “If
we sow to the flesh, we shall of the
flesh reap corruption,” and “that which
we sow, that also, shall we reap.”
Then plant seed of a heavenly growth,
and sow in soil which is applicable to
them. In short, base gratification pro
duce evil results, but holier pleasui
produce effects eternity alone c
bound.
If this be established, then how
much more severe is the penalty foi
tbe passions which are not only sensu
al and fleshly, but devilish? When
brutes are aroused, they aro sometimes
Very vicious; but even brutes
ever destroy each other except
defense; or consume another animal
for hunger or safety of thei:
species. When, then, men allow their
passionB to get the better of their high
er nature, they aro more intolerable
than the beasts, and are engaged di
rectly in the work of the adversary of
man whose angels they are emissaries
of the croel darkness of hell.
It is often assetted that competitioi
ia the life of trade and its truth hav
been abundantly verified in the history
of DaWBon. Several years ago there
were in the town a few wooden bou:
besides very poorly tilled with goods,
and trade was confined to a small ad
jacent territory. The prico of good 1
was immensely high, ruinously high,
to the few purchasers who patrouized
them; and yet the business of the place
was not sufficient to make a deceut
living for the merchants, e-
extortionate price which they charged.
There were three or four insignificant
warehouses and abont as many timid
buyers; cotton passed through the
streets and was carried to Albany and
Americas. One poorly printed little
local paper was published th

Letter From 8umter.
Pleasant Grove, Aug. 3rd, 1885.
Mr. Editor:—The Christian Ad
vocate of July 22nd contains a letter
from Rev. L. A. Snow, our new pastor,
which he predicts great spiritual
blessings, in the near future, for his
people. ThiB letter was written June
22nd, jast after the quarterly meeting
held at this place; aud the prophecy,
so far as we are concerned, has already
been more than fnlfilled. Bro. Snow
begun a meeting here on the 18th ult.,
and without the aid of any other minis-
has labored with ns nearly two
weeks; and a groat part of the time
preaching two sermons a day. Busi
ness was laid aside, and the roads were
filled with bnggies, wagons and people
on horseback, all going to chnrch.
Onr house is not a small one, bat of
tentimes the congregation conld not
be seated, and small crowds were
grouped in the aUles, near the doors.
Well, we have been revived through
and through. Daring the first four
days twenty were added to the chnrch;
sometime later twenty-two others,
making in all forty-two accessions, be
sides the twelve children baptized, and
several backsliders from this and other
churches reclaimed. Onr chnrch is
now more than doable in number and
strength. Onr new members are from
the very beBt families in tbe communi
ty. and we feel assured will ever be
faithful to their duties aud obligations.
Family altars are being established; a
prayer-meeting has been organized, and
the new converts, whenever called upon,
do not hesitate to respond.
As further results, 1 think our Sun
day school will be still more flourish
ing, with a necessity for more lesson
papers: a call in the land foT more bi-
bles, more hymn-books, about forty
church disciplines and twenty Chris
tian Advocates; a more commodious
church, a better school house, with a
greatly increased interest in the cause
of education, and a greater'zeal msni-
iested in neighboring churches of
Bro. Snow reminds ns of one of the e
cient martyrs of whom we have read.
He attacks sin wherever ’tis found,
boldly and with “ungloved hands.”

“Sam Jones has reached Dover!” but
presently a stray shot takes the whis
perer unawares, while on the wing, at
it were, he stops 1 tries to think 1 then
suddenly decides “that something has
dropped” and a smile circles around.
On the last night we had a commu
nion service. Never before have we
seen so many communicants at this
E lace; among them were many visiting
rethren, and not a few friends and
loved ones, belonging to other denomi
nations. We always feel sad to see a
good meeting close, and we felt
peculiarly so on this occasion; there
were still so many with whom we had
talked and prayed, that were “almost
persuaded to become Christians,” but
who, also, had said, “Go Spirit, go
thy way.” May the tender Shepherd
yet bring them into his fold.
Bro. Snow will begin a protracted
meeting at Salem on Saturday before
the 2nd Sunday and we advise one and
all to hear him. If ho sometimes
wonnds, he wounds to heal. We have
found him a strong, loving and true
friend in time of distress, and few men,
we think, are so gifted with the power
of winning a peoples confidence and es-
