The Educational Tax.
Some people are grumbling because
they have to pay a tax of one dollar to the
State for educational purposes. It is a
pre-requisite to voting; hence many
imagine it is a poll tax. In one sense it
may be so regarded, but all must pay it —
white or black—whether they vote or not.
The fund divided goes to the general edu
cation of the people of the State. All
might as well coute up and settle.

We are told by responsible parties that
the Central Railroad and Ranking Com
pany owns 0,8!»3 of the 12,790 shares in
the M. &G. li. li. This gives that cor

fear the road could not exist.
Railroad Items.
We regret to learn that Col. C. P. Ball,
the stiring Superintendent of the Alaba
ma Western Railroad, has been ill in bed
for several days.
Car loads of saw logs still come in daily
by the M. A G. R. R., for Dudley’s Steam

Report on the Mobile anil Girard Railroad.
'i ho reports that were submitted to the
stockholders at their meeting on Wednes
day made a continued unpromising
showing for this road. The earnings for
the year have been $177,314 00, and the
operating expenses $148,856 08—leaving
net $28,457 98, which being insufficient
to pay the interest on the bonds, the
Board by resolution requested the Central
Railroad aud Banking Company of Geor
gia to purchase and hold the bonds and
coupons of tho company as a past due
security, thus increasing the bonded in
debtedness to tho extent of the interest
as it becomes due.
Ihe number of hales of cotton trans
ported over the road was 23,600 bales, of
which 17,801 were delivered at Columbus,
2,089 at Union Springs, and 3,050 taken
through.
ihe condition of the road, except in
deterioration of rails, is reported to be
much better than at the date of the re
port of last year. Much work has been
done in improving the track.
’The purchase of two hundred tons of T
rail is recommeded, to replace 20j miles
of flange rail that has been in use twenty
six years.
A Negro Woman Falls Head—Coroner’s
Inquest.
A negro woman, Martha Hood by name,
about sunrise of Friday, was found in a
dying condition, in the lot of Mr. li. Do
zier, some eight miles front Columbus.
A minute before she had been engaged
in harnessing a mule preparatory to going
to the field. She was seen severely whip
ping the animal. Dr. E. F. deGraffenried )
the county coroner, held an inquest over
the body. The evidence of Mr. Dozier, as
well as of the husband, brother and rela
tions of the deceased, all corresponded in
the statement that she was last seen gear
ing the mule; after catching their own ani
mals, all in passing the stable door saw
her lying down inside. They raised and
carried her to a cabin. On the way two
or three flutterings of breath were observ
ed, and then she died. The evidence of
the colored men elicited the fact that the
deceased had been complaining several
years of a pain in the vicinity of the heart,
and stated she believed it would yet kill
her. She also complained of being over
heated some two weeks ago. The jury,
half white aud half black, returned a ver
dict that Martha Hood died from some
cause unknown to tho body, but most
likely from heart disease.
The Fourth of July—A Bust.
July 4th was what Dickens’ Mr. Mata
lini would pronounce a demuition fraud.
Those who thought of the time at all had
their sympathies with the bloody fields of
Vicksburg and Gettysburg of 1863, where
the hopes of a Southern Confederacy
were lost in the gloom of the double de
feat.
There were few negroes in the city.
Not a fire-cracker was exploded or a pis
tol cap snapped. The weather was mis
sarably hot. The thermometer in the shade
in the Alston warehouse reached 98 de
grees in the afternoon. It was almost
too hot for the exertion of breathing.
All the factories closed for the day.
The banks, telegraph and postoffice were
shut. Otherwise business went on as
usual.
Schedule on llie Southwestern
Itailroad.
The passenger train to-day aud after
wards will leave Columbus at 2:30 p. m.,
aud arrive at Macon 7:30 p. m. It leaves
Macon at 10:55 p. in., and arrives at
Columbus at 4a. m. Close connections
are made both East aud West. A train
we hear will also run ou the Western
Alabama Road so as to make close
connections with trains at Opelika for
Montgomery.
The Appointment from Columlnis.
Rev. J. R. Mclntosh, of this city -has
been appointed one of the committee to
attend the examination of tho Senior
class of the University of Georgia.

Augusta; Dr. L. N. Smith, Oxford; Pro
fessor B. Million, Atlanta; General A. J.
Hansell, Roswell ; Professor John W.
Glenn, Jackson county.
McCauley’s Marble Works.
Without doubt, Mr. McCauley lias the
finest works in this section. The many
beautiful monuments in our cemetery at- !
test bis skill and taste. He has erected
several in Montgomery, Ala., which com
pare favorably with the splendid ones in
the yard of that city. Mr. McCauley can
put up monuments in Columbus cheaper
than anyone can buy them in New York
or in Europe. In addition, he has all
varieties of coffins, from the most costly
to the low priced.
A Itat Story.
During service in a church, last Sunday
in Lae county, Ala., a rat was seen de
scending the bell rope from the belfry,
and one youthful member of the congre
gation allowed his risibleuess to lengthen
into a loud guffaw. Ou arriving at home,
pater familia s took the young man in
tow for purposes castigatory. He plead
earnestly aud poetically thusly :
“Sty feelings, pa, got best of me,
It was so christian-like to see
A pious rat, tor want of stairs,
Come down a rope to say his prayers.
It is needless to state he got off with an
extra slice of blackberry dumpling for
dinner.
Proposed New Factory.
Dr. M. N. Barron, of Troy, Ala., has
been spending a few days in the city, for
the purpose of visiting our factories aud
consulting their managers, with a view to
the erection of a small cotton factory ou
a valuable w ater power owned by him on
Big Creek, Coffee county, Ala., about six
miles from Elba.

CONTINUATION OF THE ROAD.
Superintendent Chipley stated that on
Tuesday a proposition was made by a re
sponsible party to finish up the next
twenty miles. The Directors had not had
sufficient time to examine it. No doubt
it will be accepted unless another, which
has been proposed, be taken. Had it not
been for this meeting, be (Superintendent
Chipley) would have gone to New lork to
complete negotiations for iron.
The parties making the proposition for
completing the next twenty miles are
highly responsible. Only one of the Di
rectors was present, Mr. F. Frost, of La-
Grange, when the offer was made to the
officers. It will be submitted to the next
convention.
QUESTIONS FROM ROME.
Capt. Dunlap Scott, the delegate in be
half of tho City Council of Rome, pro
pounded a number of questions, to all of
; which answers were given cheerfully and
willingly. She W'as willing to do all in her
power to complete the enterprise. Croak
ers are found everywhere.
The questions and answers were pab
-1 licly made. The officers told Capt. Scott
their books were open to the inspection
of himself and every stockholder, and in
addition agreed to furnished writteu an
swers to the questions.
These replies showed there were no liens
upon the road and sixteen miles had been
graded at Rome.
Col. Mobley, of Harris county, moved
this: Resolved, That the explanations
made and answers given are satisfactory
to tho stockholders present.
This was however withdrawal upon the
statement of the fact by Capt. Scott and
others that the adoption of the reports
meant the same thing.
The various reports were then unani
mously adopted.
complimentary resolutions.
Judge A. E. Cox of LaGrange, offered
this:
Whereas, Superintendent W. D. Chip
ley, has had the more special manage
ment of the North & South Railroad, and
whereas his report to our worthy Presi
dent, W. A. McDougald, shows a most
gratifying and encouraging condition of
affairs under any circumstances, and es
pecially w'ith the resources at the com
pany’s command.
Resolved, that the thanks of the stock
holders are due, aud hereby tendered to
him. Adopted.
Capt. Scott, seconded the resolution,
and paid a handsome compliment to
Superintendent Chipley aud President
McDougald.
Col. Mobley moved: Resolved, that
the officers of the Road be urged to com
plete the second twenty miles, and push
on the road as speedily as possible.
PROPOSITION TO LEASE THE ROME END. '
A proposition was read which had been
sudmitted to the directors. It was to lease
the twenty miles from Rome to W. C.
Cherry & Cos., on .condition that in
eighteen months they build aud equip
them. The lessees are debarred the right
to mortgage the road or receive State
aid bonds. The North aud South Rail
road agrees to buy the road at market
value in twenty years, and in the mean
time, if connection is made with it tocou
trol the schedule and manage it.
It was added the lessees would obtain
money from parties who were interested
in the iron mines in Polk county.
By Mr. Kimbrough, of Harris: Re
solved, this proposition be referred to the
Board of Directors with power to act,
if approved by the city council of Rome.
Capt Scott moved a postponement
until the regular meeting in August.
Director Blanchard spoke strongly in
favor of adopting the proposition, be
cause it was the ouly mode to do anything
for the Rome end. Capitalists would ad
vance money to the Columbus end be
cause it is continuous aud promised
speedy connection with other roads. The
Rome Directors approved the measure.
Capt. Scott opposed, because of hasty
action, and because he did not know the
backers of Mr. Cherry. He promised to
bring the matter before the Rome Coun
cil.
To stop discussion Mr. Kimbrough’s
resolution was withdrawn and that of
Capt. Scott passed.
Convention then adjourned.
THE NEXT ANNUAL CONVENTION
is to be held at this place, Wednesday,
August 13th.
A DISMAL CROC RETORT FROM
ALABAMA.
Uchee, Russell Cos., Ala.,)
June 30, 1873. >
Editor Sun : It is not my habit to
croak, through the medium of newspapers,
or, indeed in any other way, with regard
to crop prospects. I believe these are the
first lines, for publication, I have written
on the subject, since I commenced plant
ing in this county about seven years ago.
I write from the Uchee Hills —the crops
upon which are as little injured, as a gen
eral thing, by heavy, wet seasons, perhaps
as those of any section of the South. The
land is very rolling, and is of such a text
ure that it dries rapidly. But, although
this is so, the frequent showers aud floods
of the last sixty days have made its plan
tations resemble “Squattleseamere in the
moist county of Lincoln,” the ancestral
estate of the renowned Roger Wildrake.
The bottoms planted in cotton (I do not
allude to creek bottoms—most of these
are emphatically spots, where “green
grow the rushes O,” and weeds and grass,
aud nothing else , but to the hundreds of
little branch bottoms, lying between these
hills, which have heretofore contributed
so largely to the strength of the crops
raised in this vicinity), are in such woful
condition, that if the bad weather contin
ues much longer, they will have to be
turned out; aud whether it continues or
not, will scarcely show, when cleaned, a
half stand. Even upon the uplands—es
pecially heavy upland—Kiug Grass has
seized large portions of the crops with a
grasp as firm aud fixed as that of Death,
and upon both heavy and light upland, he,
where checked or overcome, has left the
stand scant and wretched in the extreme.
From the statement of leading planters in
the neighborhood, verified to some ex
tent by observation, I have no hesitation
in averiug that the crop upon the Uchee
hills has not been damaged less than 25
per cent. I had almost said 33, and would
perhaps have been nearer the mark had I
done so.
These facts, with the inferences sub
joined, are respectfully commended to the
careful and candid consideration of the
New York Commercial Chronicle. That
paper of June 14th put down the increase
of acreage in cotton for 1873 over 1872 at
11 per cent. No doubt inferring there
from, at any rate strengthening the im
pression of an overwhelming crop th is year.
It is evident, however, that the weather of
May and June has already more than
wiped out, or rather washed out all tfiis
increase of acreage. Indeed if rain falls,
like those hereabouts, have visited the
other sections of the Cotton Belt (and
they seem to have done so,) much of which
being low, flat land is nothing like so able
to bear the infliction, the acreage set forth
by the Chronicle as indicating 11 per
cent, increase of production, will realize,
even with no additional misfortune, at
least 20 per cent, decrease.
It is raining. Senex.
Sale of a Plantation.
It is said tuat Gen. J. B. Gordon,
United States Senator, and Mr. C. B.
Howard have purchased a plantation on
Flint river belonging to the estate of
Mr. Joseph Hill for $25,000. Before the
war it cost $7,800.
Several persons of our acquaintance
have planted buckwheat this Spring. It
came tip readily, grew off luxuriantly aud
is now in full bloom. Union Springs
Herald.
We know that some small patches of
buckwheat, planted on sandy uplands in
this immediate vicinity, for bee pastures,
have done remarkably well. Persons un
acquainted with the culture of this grain
would be astonished to see its rapid
growth here. It comes very quickly to
maturity, and requires but little work
until ripe for cutting—after that we don’t
know what is required. Probably the
chief reason why buckwheat has not been
cultivated at the South is the lack of rna
i chinery for hulling and grinding it.
About Women. Did You Ever?
Did you ever know a woman to make
room in an omnibus, five on a side, when
number six was entering, until ordered
by the driver ?
Did yon ever know a little pair of gaiter
boots to turn one inch, either to the right
or left, when they could have saved you
from a streaming gutter by the operation?
Patent leathers don’t behave so—not
they.
Did you ever know a woman to say, “ I
am sorry to have given you so much
trouble,” when the dry goods clerks have
turned things topsy turvy, without find
ing the shade of color that never existed ?
Did yon ever know a woman who did
not know “it was outrageous” for another
j woman to travel with a baby, or didn’t
regard it as “ cruel and barbarous” if any
one objected to the crying of her baby ?
Did you ever know two women to talk
over a third without ridiculing her, even
if she was a “dear, particular friend?”
Did you ever praise one young lady in
the presence of another without being
confidently told of some enormous fault
or deformity in the other that you hadn’t
dreamed of ?
Did you ever know a pretty woman to
! make an expression without half-a-dozen
other pretty women ruining the effect of
; it tii6 instant she left the room?
Did you ever know a woman to apolo
gize for tearing another woman’s bonnet
j into flatness with the corner of her
j parasol ?
Did you ever hear of a woman who had
| an idea that she was making trouble by
| her little airs and graces ?
We don’t believe you ever did. Women
are a race of nnaccountables; just as
sweet and piquant as June roses some
i times, and then like so many venomous
I thorn bushes.
When woman chooses, she can be the
nearest thing to an angel of anything in
the world, aud what a pity it is she does
not always choose.
Some disgusted youth has penned this .
When Eve brought woe to all mankind,
Old Adam called her wo-man ;
But when she woo’d with love so fond,
He then pronounced it woo-man.
But now with folly and with pride,
Their husbands pockets trimming,
The ladies are so lull of whims,
That people call them whim-men.
TROUBLE WITH THE UTES.
Washington, July 3.— The Secretary of
the Interior to-day received the following
from Governor Campbell, of Wyoming:
“I spent yesterday at Rawlins and
found in relation to the trouble with the
Ute Indians, that on the 27th a boy with
a team came into Rawlins slightly wound
ed, and reported that he had been shot by
Indians. A party of ten citizens started
in pursuit, and on the morning of the
20tb overtook a band of twenty-two In
dians, from whom they demanded two
horses, which they recognized as belong
ing to citizens. The Indians refused to
give them up and a fight ensued. The
party returned to Rawlins with eleven
ponies and one rifle, captured from the
Indians, of whom they report several
killed and wounded. None of the whites
were injured.
“I cannot tell until Agent Littlefield is
heard from whether the ass air will lead to
any trouble with the Utes.”
another version.
Larimie City, Wyoming, July 2. — Best
information that can be obtained in rela
tion to the late Indian difficulties at Raw
lins, develop the fact that a dozen reck
less men from Rawlins, attacked a gang
of Utes without any cause or provocation,
and killed six or seven and wounded as
many more, and captured several of their
horses and other property. They had
committed no depredations and had been
perfectly peaceable. It is believed to
have been a cold-blooded outrage by
whites, for which they should be promptly
punished and the Indians satisfactorily
compensated by the government authori
ties.
ALA BAM A NE WS.
The cotton caterpillar, in its second
stage, is reported in various sections of
Alabama. This, with the grass, is creat
ing the gravest apprehensions as to the
future of cotton.
We clip the following items from the
Russell Recorder of yesterday:
The county jail has two prisoners now
as tenants, both imprisoned on the charge
of assault with intent to kill.
The long freight train from down the
M. & G. R. R. Saturday, laden with huge
pine logs, and other timber, indicates an
increasing demand of lumber on the line
of the road.
More then one farm in this section has
been entirely deserted by the hands. On
a small farm near Seale last week the
hands, after quarreling among them
selves, left in a body, and the proprietor
and farm in the grass.
A point decided by the Supreme Court
of Alabama ou Tuesday:
A note or obligation given under sec
tion 1858 to create the lien for advances
to make a crop must pursue the precise
language of the statute, to give it that
effect.
Items from the Montgomery State
Journal:
It is estimated that Montgomery would
have been worth $2,000,000 more if her
people had never speculated in cotton fu
tures.
Reports prevailed here yesterday of an
alarming increase of cholera cases at Bir
mingham ; aud these are partially con
firmed by a dispatch of Thursday to the
Montgomery Advertiser, which reports
five deaths and nine new cases on that
day. We understand that Birmingham is
in a limestone region.
The Troy Messenger says: The friends
of Hon. A. N. Worthy, who has been so
journing at McDade’s Pond, Florida, for
the past few weeks, will be pleased to
learn that he has greatly improved in
health, and will return to his family in a
few days.
A “Fruit and Floral Fair” will be held
at the Fair Grounds at Clayton, Barbour
county, on the 22d, 23d, and 24th inst.
The premiums are liberal and varied.
Thanks for a complimentary ticket.
Points decided by the Supreme Court
of Alabama on Thursday :
Judicial proceedings had in this State
during the war are not void.
An executor or administrator with the
will annexed after the expiration of
eighteen months front the grant of letters,
is bound to pay a legacy to the legatee, if
there are more than sufficient assets in his
hands to pay the debts of the deceased
and any preferred legacy.
Murder.— Last week Mr. Guss Green,
stabbed one George Kimbal, col., near
Rome in this couuty with a knife. We

New York, July —Two cases of
cholera yesterday, both fatal. It was re

Cotton Situation. —The receipts at the
United States parts are niw 800,008 hales iu ex
cess ot those of last year to this date and the
stock 74,081 more. Columbus shows 17,187 more
bales than in 1872 and a stock ot 1,923 more.
On the week the Columbus stock has decreased
183 bales,
India shipments this year to June 26
were 771,000, against 785,000 last year.
The world’s visible supply last Saturday
showed adecrease irom lastyearof 23,446 bales;
the total last year was 2,660,457: last Saturday
2,646,011.
The crop of the season almost passed will be
heavier than a majority of the heavy estimate
men even dared to think; and yet during the
fall the cry of the caterpillar was loud in the
land. At the great commercial centres where
prices are controlled, little credence is placed
upon the reports and aspects of a single
section, but judge by telegrams received daily
and weekly Irom all quarters. They are really
better informed as to the situation and pro
gress of the crop than those who live iu the cot
ton belt and cultivate the staple.
There is no denial of the fact that tho rains
have been very excessive, and that crops have
been much damaged; but no disaster has yet
occurred which cannot be remedied by warm
elear weather and hard work, except In some
localities. The report, authentic, comes from
Memphis that the crop has been cut off fifteen
per cent, in the country tributary to that sec
tion. The New Orleans papers state that heavy
rains have fallen in Louisiana and Mississippi.
It must be remembered, however, that the in
crease of acreage has been reliably estimated
at eleven to twelve percent., and heavy losses
will be required to overcome that excess of last
year.
In tms section we have had onlj two rains
during the week, on Sunday and Monday.
Since, the atmosphere has been very warm,
the thermometer being high up in the nineties.
There has been a moderate demand for the
better grades during the week, and sales are
comparatively large lor this season.
Receipts continue about three times as much
as last year. The coming week iu 1872, Co
lumbus warehoused 105 bales, and we doubt
whether that amount will be reached. After
this date last season we received 376 bales.
Wo ought to get at least7oU bales between this
timo and September Ist. Our cotton factories
will take during the season 7,000 bales—very
good in a 10,000 inhabitants town that was
burned anil robbed by 12,000 Federal marauders
under lien. Wilson in 1865, after Gen. Lee’s
surrender.
Reports from Florida are to the effect that
the second crop of caterpillars has appeared
In this section cotton is fully three weeks
backward. The plant is very small. In the
neighboring country more rain has lalleu than
in this immediate locality. The condition is
represented as more promising than the pust
week.
It is generally thought here that there will
be little change in prices the remainder of this
season, unless some great and general disaster
happens.
As this is a national holiday no dispatches
have been reeeived. With the exception that
the banks, telegraph oltlces and factories were
closed, business proceeded as usual.

Discipline the Liver.
The liver Is truly an “unruly member,”
Sometimes it is torpid and secretes too slowly,
at other times It is unnatural and sends forth a
perfect freshet of bile. Regulate this action
with Hostelter’s Bitters, not with calomel or
blue mass. Mineral ixcitanls, in stimulating
the liver, poison the blood, and their ultimate
effect is terrible. The Bitters, on the other
hand, have a vitalizing and purifying, as well
as a stimulating effect. They not only regulate
the flow of bile, but infuse new lile into the
whole system. A good appetite and perfect di
gestion, a regular, natural habit of body, a
sound condition of the nervous system, vivacity
of spirits, increased bodily strength and power
of endurance, and refreshing sleep, are among
the blessings they promote. The temperature
of summer is a severe tax upon the digestive
and secretive organs, and tho Bitters are nev
er more indispensible than at this period of the
year.

The startling drawback on nearly all medio

of purgation and purification they have alsode
billtated the system To obviate this difficulty
physicians have long sought for an agent that
would
Purge, Purify & Strengthen
AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME.
Their research has at last been rewarded by a
discovery which fully realizes the fondest de
sires ol the medical faculty, and which is justly
regarded as I lie most important triumph that
Pharmacy has ever achieved. This important
desideratum is
Dr. Tutt’s Vegetable Liver Pill,
Which purify the blood and remove all corrupt
humors amt unhealthy accumulations from the
body, and yet produces no weakness or lassi
tude whatever, but on the contrary tones the
stomach and invigorates the body during the
progress of their operation. They unite the
heretofore irreconcilable qualities u! a Strength
ening Purgative and Purifying Tonic.
Dir. Tutt’s Pills are ttie most active and
searching medicine in existence. They at once
attack the very root of diseases, and their ac
tion is so prompt that an hour or two after they
are taken the patient is aware of their good
effects. They may be taken at any time with
out restraint of diet or occupation; they pro
duce neither nausea, griping or debility; and
as a family medicine they have no rival.
