*-
A Ladi’s Enterprise.— The Atlanta Constitu
tion says: The Catoosa Courier contains a com
plimentary notice of Miss Sarah Howard, daugh
ter of the Rev. C. W. Howard, of Kingston, Ga.,
for her interest and practical success in Attention
to towls. The editor paid a visit recently to Mr.
Howard, and interestingly deserlbes Miss How
ard’s splendid poultry yard. Bhe has devoted
much attentiou to improved brSfeds of poultry,
and took a number of premiums at the last State
Fair in Atlanta. She has Brahmas, Leghorns, and
Black Spanish fowls. The two last average 200
eggs annually. Tbe Brahmas average seven
pounds at five months, and the roosters get to
weigh eighteen pounds.
“ The Courier thus closes:
“The Aylesbury and other species of duck,
both of most approved varieties, Miss Howard
has and her time is chiefly devoted to making
poultry raising prove profitable and interesting.
Such intelligent attention and care will doubtless
insure succtss. By means ot the above and many
other domestic industries the “ true women of the
South” are elevating and refining labor, making
homes beautiful and attractive, besides securing
to themselves that proper independence which
they should ever obtain.
“ We sincerely hope Miss Howard’s enterprise
will incite many others to similar effort.
Paklok Matches. —From the Atanta Conatitu
tlon we clip the following resolution, passed by
the Berrien Connty Agricultural Association :
“ Gents the Association: Your committee ap
pointed to investigate the subject of the parlor
match, at our last meeting, ask leave to report:
That they are free to admit the parlor match foi
common family use is far superior to the old sul
phur match of a quarter of a century past, yet,
any new invention must stand or fall from the
general benefit derivedfrom it bv mankind. Taking
this view of it, we are forced to report unfavora
ble to its use.
“1. Because It ignites so easily care must be
taken t* prevent much destruction in the hands
of careless parties.
‘A Their nse has become so geueral that no
cabin or cottage is without them.
3. They are so cheap that it invites carelessness
in the hands of all who use them, rather thau
care.
4. We present stubborn facts for the contem
plation of all classes ot our countrymen, to show
that their nse is attended with more loss and
mischief in the country, than all the benefits to
be derived from their superiority as a family ne
cessity can possibly award us.
From the best sources of information at our
command we learn there has been sixty-two gin
houses destroyed within our own State, during
the last season, traceable to the use of the parlor
match.
This alone would compel your committee to
report unfavorably to their use, and especially
when our own couuty has suflered more than its
pro rata share of this great loss. But whea we
turn our minds to other losses by the ssme means,
we are astounded at their immensity, and wonder
that the subject has not been looked into by the
wise and prudent of the land. Cities have been
cousumed, towns destroyed, villages burned up,
factories laid in ashes and thousands of families
made homeless throughout the country; but
few ot us who have not seen the smoke curl np
from our own cottage door by this destroying ele
ment. In view of these facts your committee beg
leave to submit the following resolutions which
they hope will be adopted by the Association:
Resolved, That we earnestly entreat the mer
chants ol our county to buy no more parlor
matches, and if they cannot procure the old sul
phur match to leave us agaiu to our primitive
way of procuring Are —by flint and steel; and be
it iurtber
Resolved, That we invite our agricultural or
ganizations ot the State to pass similar resolu
tions, in order to put a stop to the losses dsily
occnrikug in our midst; this done sod we feel as
sured but lew gin houses will be destroyed an
other season. ** A hint to the wise is sufficient.”
All of which is respectfully submitted.
On motion the above preamble and resolutions
wexe unanimously adopted. On motion ol B. F.
Whittington,
Resolved, That a copy of the above preamble
and resolutions be sent to the South Georgia
Times, Atlanta Constitution, killedgevilie Union
and Recorder for publication, and that all papers
friendly to the cause in the State be requested to
copy. U. T. PKRPI.ES, President.

Tbe State Road.
It will be well for the citizens of this State, who
are interested in the above named property, to
note all the developments in connection with its
management, and the action of the lessees. A
correspondent of the Savannah News writes the
following:
“The management of the State railroad and the
frequent accidents to its trains form the staple of
conversation at tbe Capital. People do not un
derstand how these mishaps occur, and utterly
refuae to accept the reasons given by those who
are responsible for the management of the road.
Ex Gov. Brown, the President of the road, is
known to be a man of unsurpassed business ca
pacity. Why, then, it is frequently asked, does
he permit these accidents to continue ? If it be
replied tbe road Is in a bad condition, the next
pat is, why does be suffer it to remain in that
condition.
The answers given to these questions are as
various as the persons who give them. The gen
eral impression or belief seems to be, however,
that the lessees of the road are allowing it,to run
down, and its value to be reduced, in the hope
that they will be able to buy it at a low figure.
Some appear to think that the managers in their
efforts to economize, and to 6Well the net profits
of the lessees, have reduced the working force of
the road, and neglected necessary repairs to such
an extent as to invite the condition of things
against which the public now complains. What
the truth is in these particulars, it is impossible
for outsiders to determine. One cannot fail to
notice, however, the occasional reference in the
newspapers to the probable sale of the road—ref
erences which some persons affect to believe are
inspired by the lessees and their friends. And
yet it is difficult to believe that a man of Presi
dent Brown’s intelligence would permit a series
of accidents to continue at a monthly cost to him
self and the other lessees of $509,000 or $600,000
per annum, with the intention of thereby bring
ing the property into general discredit, and thus
inducing the Legislature to offer it for sale.
There is another strange feature connected with
the management of the road. The lessees are
not harmonious among themselves ; indeed they
are divided into two camps, one headed by the
President, and the other by Mr. B. H. Hill. The
President’s party, to which belong the non-resi
dent lessees, is believed to be in the majority,
while tbe party of Mr. Hill is said to include the
local, or Georgia members, among them John P.
King, Richard Peters, C. A. Nutting and others.
What effect this serious rupture will have upon
the mangement of the road and upon the ultimate
fate of the lease, it is too early to predict. It can
but increase, however, the astonishment so gener
ally felt, that the officers of the road should have
sb tiered it to be reduced to its present condition.
One can hardly believe that the ruptures among
the lessees is only apparent, and that it is intend
ed lo cover ulterior designs in the interest of
themselves. Indeed, some of the anti-Brown les
sees express themselves as being irreconciably
opposed to his matagement as well as to the sale
of the road. But the fog will lift after a while,
and then we shall understand the matter better.”
Affair* in Spain.
The Atlanta Constitution speaks of Spain thns :
“ The young Republic is on trial. While Don
Carlos and his cavaliers are making serious in
roads in Catalonia, Navarre and Barcelona, having
already seised and destroyed the important town
of Berga, the forces of President Figures are em
barrassed by the outbreaks of the Communists
and wild radicalism in various towns. The com
mercial and manufacturing centers of the revolu
tionary land are said to be hot beds of tbe wildest
communistic and agrarian theories. Between
them all Figuras, Castellar and their able asso
ciates have no easy task before them. In the
success of the reasonable and patriotic republi
canism represented by the latter lies Spain’s best
hope; but no man can foresee what may take
place In a country that has always been a stranger
to popular education and religious Ireedom. As
ther* is a chance that the ignorance of this old,
priest-ridden people may 6et Don Carlos on the
throne, we append a compact history of his cause.
“ Ferdinand VII. of Spain was four times mar
ried. He was heir when he took his fourth wife,
Christiana of Naples, and his brother Carlos or
Charles was his prospective successor. Christine
became the mother of two daughters. The elder
is tne ex Queen Isabella, and the younger the
wife of the Duxe of Monipensier, son of Louis
Pbilllppe of France.
“ The Salic Jaw, which restricts the succession
to males, prevailed in Spain. Ferdinand, for his
daughter’s sake, abrogated this law. In 1832 he
was supposed to be at the point of death, and
the Carlists, by skillful strategy, induced h.m to
re establish the Salic law. No sooner had he re
recovered. than he revoked his revocation. A
year later he actually died, and Carlos at once
proclaimed himself King. Christiana, as regent
for her daughter, who was only three years old,"
denounced him as a rebel,and succeeded in getting
England, France and Portugal to sustain her
cause.
Carlos fled to England, but returned next year
and began an insurrection, which raged, mainly
as a guerrilla war, for five years Carlos had the
support of the clergy, but he was fiaely beaten
and obliged to flee. The Cortes had decreed hit
perpetual banishment, and in France be was kept
for a time under rigid surveilance. F.e afterward
went to Austria, where, iu ISIS, he resigned his
claims in favor of his son, and took the name of
Count of Molina. He died in 1855.
“ His son and heir, Carlos, was born in 1818,
and died childless iu 1861. His brother Joan,
born in 1522, succeeded to the leadership of the
Cariist cause. In 1868, on the flight of Isabella,
he resigned his pretensions in behalf of his son
Carlos, who is the Don Carlos now in the field.
This personage wss born on the 30th of March,
184S, and ie, therefore, about twenty-five years of
age. He was married on the 4th of February,
1867, to Margaret, daughter of the late Duke of
Parma, and has several children.
Dbbt or tub World.— The Pall Mall Gaxette
says that the chief debts in each of the five great
divisions of the world mount in the aggregate to
the following sums:
Europe £i, 400,000,000
America 573,000,000
Asia 136,000,000
Africa 30,000,000
Australia 38,000,000
“If we add only £15,000,000 to this total for
minor omissions, we are compelled to conelnde
that the Dations of the world owe their creditors
£4,200,000,(XX) —a sum which at nearly per cent,
must involve a charge of £189,000,000 a year. The
figures are so stupendous that it is hardly possi
ble to comment on them. But it is a suggestive
circumstance that with perhaps three exceptions
—the United States, Germany and ourselves—all
these countries are steadily increasing their debts.
The most of them have been created within
the memory of the present generation ; the great
majority of them are rising still with a rapidity
which ia adding annually hundreds of millions to
the national liabilities of tbe world.”
Plba or lasANiTT.—The bill which has passed
the Legislature ot New York iu relation to the de
fence ot insanity in criminal cases, provides that
whenever a jury shall acquit on the ground of in
sanity, their verdict shall state the fact, and there
upon the court, presuming the insanity to con
tinue, shall order the confinement of the prisoner
in a lunatic asylum tor a period of not less than
fifteen nor more than thirty years, not to be set at
liberty before the expiration of his term, unless
by order of the Governor of the Bute.
FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING APRIL 10, 1873.
Atlantic and Great Western Canal.
PROCLAMATION BY THB GOVERNOR.
Executive Department,
Atlanta. Ga., April 7,1873.
To the People of Georgia:
The question of cheap transportation claims
the attention of the country. The agricultural
West, owing to inadequate means for moving her
immense stores of provisions, and the heavy
charges exacted for freight thereon, finds herself,
in a great mersure, without a market for her sur
plus products. These remain worthless and wast
ing on her hands because, when shipped to the
East or South, much the largest portion of the
value paid by the consumer is expended on their
transportation.
From the same cause, in the Eastern and North
ern States, the high price demanded for food in
creases the cost of labor-and, consequently, the
cost of production. This forces the manufactur
ing interests of that section, to demand of Con
gress legislative protection to enable It to com
pete successfully with foreign products in our
home market.
Nor is its effect upon the Southern States less
deplorable. Our great interest—that of cotton—
suffers proportionately with the rest, and from
the same cause. Furnishing, as the Bouth does,
the only reliable article of export, she finds her
wealtn annually diminishing.
The reason for this state of things is very well
known, and it has, for years past, claimed the
earnest attention of the thinking men of the
country. That attention has become intensified
as the necessity increases, and the pressure be
comes more seriously felt by the masses. At the
present time, the increased means of transporta
tion is fast becoming the one all-absorbing ques
tion of the country, and the one that will be most
earnestly pressed upon the attention of Congress.
Indeed, so great is the necessity felt by those
sections of the West remote from the seaboard,
that it has been gravely proposed that Congress
shall take control of the entire railroad system of
the country, and endeavor by legislative flat to
regulate this matter. Whether this would result
in good, or an increase of the evil—whether Con
gressional management would lessen the cost of
operating these roads, so as to meet public ex
pectation—are grave questions which I will not
discuss here. I only refer to them to show that a
great, real necessity underlies this movement—a
necessity so pressing that it does not scruple to
resort to means so extraordinary.
The water affords the cheapest means of trans
portation is well known and acknowledged. The
difficulty has been to find a feasible line for a ca
nal across the mountain range which divides the
waters of the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic.
This long sought-for route has been found, as
recent surveys fully demonstrate, in the proposed
Atlantic and Great Western Canal, and it passes
through the State of Georgia. This work will
furnish the cheap transportation so much needed
by the whole country—will open a home market
for our varied products more attractive than that
which the West now find abroad, and, in my
judgment, will cure the trouble complained of
without resorting to the extraordinary expedient
above referred to.
Uniting, It will do, two great systems of navi
gation, its importance to the whole country is so
evident that it requires no discussion. That it
will greatly the production of cotton is
firmly believed ; that it will furnish a home mar
ket of vast value to the food producing section,
requires no demonstration ; and that it will give
us, of the South, what we most need —direct trade
with foreign lands—immigration to fill and build
up our waste places, and an increase of capital
for the development of our mineral resources, is
susceptible of the clearest proof. The route has
been surveyed and found eminently feasible. Tbe
verdict of the country pronounces it a work of
national importance and necessity, and what now
remains to be done is to devise the best and sur
est means for its epeedy accomplishment.
To this end, as the Executive of Georgia, I deem
it my duty to take the initiative. I have invited
the Governors and other prominent citizens of
many of the Btates, to meet in Atlanta on the 20th
of May next, that we may consult upon this im
portant matter. I need your aid and counsel,
also; and I therefore cordially invite the Mayor of
each city in the Btate to be present, and each in
corporated town to send such delegates as may
best represent its interests, to advise and counsel
with ns on that occasion.
JAMES M. SMITH.
Governor of Georgia.
Glimpses at the South.—From a letter writ
ten by Win. Cullen Bryant to the New York Post,
we clip tbe following:
“ The fund bequeathed by the late Mr. Peabody
to the Southern States for the support of schools
is found to be very convenient for the people of
Florida. I visited a school for white children
which receives annually a thousand dollars from
this source, and is under the care of a most skill
ful instructor from the North. ‘At this school,
when it was first opened,’ 3aid the gentleman who
accompanied me, ‘ we thought we could not pos
sibly expect mere than fifty or sixty scholars, but
we opened with a hundred and twenty.’ The
Catholic priesthood in Florida, as everywhere else,
disconrage the attendance of the children of their
flocks at schools not under their especial care,and
the population of St. Augustine is principally
Catholic. The result shows that there are many
of them who prefer that their children should be
educated with those of other religious denomina
tions, instead of being forced to keep-by them
selves as a peculiar caste.
“Since my first visit to Florida anew branch of
industry has been introduced, the credit pf which
is given to a lady with a Bpanish name, Mrs. Oli
varez. Thousands of acres of Florida are over
spread with the dwarf of Palmetto, a plant which
has a shaggy stem lying fiat on the gronnd and
rooting itself by fibres from the underside, while
its summit is crowned with a turf of fsn-like leaves
of a tough fibre. These leaves, dried and bleached
in the sun and shredded into strips, are formed
into braids and the braids into hats and bonnets
of a texture as flexible, and I should think nearly
as durable, as that of the well-known Panama hat.
In this way a plant which the settler has regarded
ass pest is made to give bread to thousands, and
becomes 60 valuable that its disappearance would
be regarded as a misfortune. The names of Mrs.
Pucetti, Mrs. Currana, Mrs Canova and Miss
Usiua, over the shop doors in St. Augustine, show
how generally the original population of the town
concern themselves in this branch of industry.
Our party went the other day to the Magnolia
Grove, a few miles north of St. Augustine, a no
ble wood of great live oaks, festooned and cur
tained with moss, with a magnolia tree in the
midst, where picnics are held, and on our way we
passed a solitary cabin, about which the sandy
6oil was spread with these leaves of the dwarf
palmetto, whitening in the sun, which here at this
season shines almost perpetually.
“ Some benevolent ladies among the guests
from the North at Magnolia have discovered, in
the depths of the surroundieg forest, a family of
Crackers, as they are called, or poor whites, who
have attained a certain humble prosperity by this
occupation. There is a mother and several chil
dren, among whom are daughters, unlettered, ig
norant if yon please, bnt not unintelligent, dwel
ling in a cabin kept with the most scrupulous
neatness, kind, courteous, laborious and cheerful.
Within the last year they had received eight hun
dred dollars for palmetto braid, sent by them to
New York.”

Remarkable and Great Cure op Diabetes—
(Sugar in the Urine)—Bt Dr. J. A. Jones.—
For nearly three years I was sick unto death with
that dreadful disease dish*Yes—sugar in the urine
—during which time my sufferings language could
not describe. My disease was contracted in De
cember, 1870—nearly three years ago—while in the
employ of Col. Edmund Harrison, in Montgomery,
Ala., who knows of my case well. 1 was treated
by all the bast physicians of the principal South
ern cities, and nearly all of them gave np my case
as incurable, after treating me for weeks or months.
I also tried the mountain air of Birmingham,Ala."
and tried bitters and all kinds of patent medicines!
Nothing reached my diseaee or touched the foot
of it, or changed my urine,Jwhich was white, and
60on after being voided in the sun erystalized
into sugar. I had to get up every hour in the
night to drink and void water. Everything I ate
and drank turned into 6ugary urine; and thus, by
ounties, I was wasted and icduced from a strong,
healthy, stout man ot 170 pounds to a skeleton of
69 pounds. Forty-eight hours after I commenced
Dr. Jones’ treatment my urine changed to a nat
ural color, with the natural odor, and in a few
days my pains and ills left me, I feel as well as I
ever did in my life ; have good, natural appetite,
natural and regular bowels, and am gaining my
former activity and strength daily, but my teeth
are loose and discolored from the bad effects of
mercury, iron, arsenic, etc., given me before 1
saw Dr. Jones. I have not taken over an ounce
of medicine from Dr. Jones, and it was pleasant
to take, and he never changed his remedy, and he
gave me but one small bottle of that, but it went
to the very spot, and I and my wife both saw that
I was cured, and I felt and saw it after the first
twenty- four hours’ use of Dr. Jone’s medicine. I
feel that I owe my life to the skill of this great
physician, for my shroud was prepared and at my
bedside, and my disease was pronounced incura
ble by so many physicians, some of them stating
that no person had ever been cured of diabetes.
R. W. White, Macon, Ga.
I know Mr. W’hite, have known him for many
years, and can testify to the truth of she above
remarkable cure by Dr. J, A. Jones.
E. E. Brown,
Proprietor Brown’s Hotel, Macon, Ga.
“It is well known to the people of Crawford
couuty that I have been blind with a most dis
tressing disease of the eyes, purulent opthalmia,
with all the scalding tears, swelling, burning,
scratching of the lids, opacity of the cornea, neu
ralgia, aching of the forehead, and most distress
ing blindness for seven years past, during which
time I employed the skill of doctors here and
elsewhere—all to no purpose. Finally, all my
hopes of the future had’ departed until I was made
acquainted with Dr. Jones’ unparallelled skill.
With but a ray of hope I placed myself under his
i reatment a month ago, and from that day my cure
was no longer doubttul; lor by his peculiar treat
ment, and a few doses of medicine, he has restored
my eyes to their natural appearance and sight,and
day by day my eyes have regained their natural
strength, until now I am, for the first time in
seven long years, attending to my plantation, and
am at work. From blindness he has brought me
to see. Out of seven long years of groping, suf
fering darkness, in less Than one month he has re
stored to me good sigL't and good health again.
Dr. Jones, indeed you *re a God-send to us. Oh,
that you would forever remain with us. Any one
who wishes to see me can find me at work on my
plantation, near Knoxville, Crawford county, Ga.
W. G. Wilder.”
I was badly cross eyed for fifteen years. Dr.
Jones, by a skillful operation, has made my eyes
perfectly straight, i would not take any money
for the benefit this skillful surgeon fas done for
me. I live in Macon and refer any one to the
Professors of Mercer University for the truth of
this statement; also to my father, Davis Smith, a
