Tub Macon Enterprise has been shown a copy of a late number of the Newport Mercury. It was established in 1756 by the American lather of the newspaper press—Benjamin Franklin. And to thlß day, although one hundred and seventeen yearrold, contains many of the eccentricities of typography prevailing at the date of its birth. *- 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. L S. Lantmaft, Secretary. 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.” “In God w© Trust.” ATLANTA ADVERTISEMENTS. DR. J. A. JON ES IS NOW PEACTICING AT THB KIMBALL HOUSE, ATLANTA, CA., WHERE HE REMAIXS IXTIL APRIL, 15TH. READ A PEW' OP HIS GREAT CURES. Dr. Jones: Dear Sir— l write to tell you of the progress your treatment is making in my niece She is getting on finely, and says her head feels clearer and belter than she ever remembers to have known it. The disagreeable smell has en tirely left her nose. Her father seems more than delighted with your treatment. We follow your directions perfectly, which is easily done. I am, most respectfully, Mrs. 8. E. Lumpkin. Lexington, Ga., Feb. 19th. 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 well known resident of Macon. Wm. Ira Smith. Judge Speer of Griffin saj’s: “ Dr. Jones op erated on my son and daughter for two hundred and fifty dollars, but I would not take five thous and dollars for the good he has done them.” Mr. P. J.
