Tlie Cash System.
Probably one of the greatest curses which ever
afflicted a people or country is the system (.now
so universally practiced in the South) of general
and promiscuous credit The ruinous and irrepa
rable evils of such a system are patent to every
one; and yet, aueb U the perveisity of human
nature, and so gTeat and uncontrollable the dis
position of moat men to avoid to-day whrt they
iooHably imagine they can as well do to-morrow,
that the credit system flourishes apace in Georgia
to-day, while the only true and legitimate basis of
business—to-wit: to buy and sell for cash alone —
it practiced spasmodically or not at all, with the
occasional exception of a man. who not only un
derstands the trne principles of financial success,
bulbs* the stability to conduct his business upon
the true and only principles of success.
The cash system is better for all parties con
cerned. It l* better for the merchant, because it
obviates the risk and unavoidable loss which
every man doing a credit business must suffer, no
matter bow carefol and shrewd he is; it furnishes
him with ready money to buy his stock, and he
can therefore buy lower and sell cheaper than bis
competitor who sells on time; and the services
of a book-keeper and collecting agent are not
required.
This system is better for the purchaser, because
he can buy his goods cheaper. Money being
worth twenty-five per cent, it follows indisputa
bly that a merchant an afford to sell for seventy
five cents in cash an article for which he would
charge one dollar on time. There are many other
reasons why the credit system should be abol
ished, prominently among them is this: If a pur
chaser is compelled to pay cash for everything he
buys, he will only buy what he needs; whereas,
if he has an “account” at a store, he will pur
chase any article attracting the lancv, saying airi
ly, as he walks out, “ Charge it.” The end of the
year comes, his account is just double what he
thought it to be—he is unable to pay it—gives his
promise to pay, and in very many cases thinks
more about avoiding the payment of the debt, by
exemptions or otherwise, than ot the manner and
time when he shall liquidate it.
Cooleba. —Many misstatements, sensational
newspaper reports and overdrawn pictures from
the excited brains of unreliable contributors,
have been scattered broadcast over the country in
reference to the ravages of the cholera in Nash
ville, Memphis, and other places in Tennessee and
Kentucky. From these startling reports the peo
ple of the United States have become much
alarmed, from which much damage has resulted.
We regret that this unusually severe visitation
should have fallen upon the citizens of Nashville
and other places. But we insist that extravagant
rumors should have been suppressed, and the
facta, as near aa possible, given to the public.
From the roost reliable information that we can
gather, Nashville has lost about six huadred ot
her citizens In about four weeks. The number of
deaths occurring in Memphis will probably uot
average fllteen per day. Other localities have suf
fered, but there is uo comparison with those
mentioned above.
Rumors have been circulated that this terrible
disease had made its appearance in Atlanta, giv
ing alarm to the country contiguous to, and con
nected immediately by rail with, that city; and
yet when the facts are disclosed, it proves untrue.
We would advise our people not to be excited, as
doubtless fright has as much to do with the kill
ing as the disease itself.
Thh Mubray County Eldorado.— The Atlanta
Herald has this to say about the silver mines of
Murray county:
Our 6tory of the silver mine in Murray couuty
was not at all too strongly drawn; indeed it is
more than borne out by the facts.
On yesterday we met Judge MeCutcben and
Col. McCamy, on the street, and at once tackled
them on the “prevailing subject.” In respone to
a stirring Inquiry, we learned from them the fol
lowing facts: The Indian is a wizzird, “wander
ing Jew” sort of fellow, as McCamy graphically
says, about eighty years of age, and is named
Jimmy Foreman. He says he is a member of the
Council of the Cherokee Nation, and that at a
meeting of the Council it was decided that he
should come back and lay open the silver trunk.
As soon as he came he went to a Mr. Gibbs, who,
it 6eemed, had done him seme kindness, and be
tween whom and liimseT there was an under
standing of some sort. lie told Gibbs tnat be
wanted to show him these mines. Gibbs then told
him that he had two friends and partners, Vorn
berg and Hony. The Indian said: If he liked
their looks he would take them aloDg also. As
they came up to Jimmy’s standard, the tour pro
ceeded through a tortuous route, which McCamy
described luminously as “round oy old man Har
rall’s house, just across Sproggin’s branch, beyond
Jones’ coin field, to Bmith’s gin bouse,*',etc., fill
be came to a trail path leading off into the woods.
This the Indian struck into boldly, and followed
it until it ended ; be then sat down, and asked bis
friends if they had any suspicion that he was fool
ing them. They replying in the negative, he
pushed on into the depth of the woods for some
half a mile, saying “though I haven’t beeu here
for forty years, I remember it exactly.” After a
while reaching a certain spot in the wood, he told
his friends to dig a little ways into the ground,
and they would find the shaft and some old tools.
They scrambled in right lively and found it pre
cisely as he had said. He then showed them cer
tain marks on the surrounding trees, by which
they could find the place again then withdrew
them, saying that on the next day he would show
them another and a better one. The land on
which the mine lies belongs to Gibbs, Yonberg &
Hany, and was bought under the impression that
it had these very mines on it: and they bad fre
quently looked for them before. It was bonght
from the Edmondson esta'e at Sheriff sale, and it
is possible that in view of the increased value there
will be a lawsuit over it. Gibbs and his partners
won’t tell where the mine is, and they are hur
rying up preparations to work it, and also the
the other mine he has promised to show them.
There is no possible doubt but what the Indian
has showed these gentlemen mines that his tribe
worked when they were here, and hid carefully
when they left. There is no doubt but what he
came here for the express purpose of doing this
thing. He is an old man; it is a tiresome and ex
pensive journey; he paid his own way, and won’t
accept any pay. He is going back in just three
weeks from the day he got here, and has no other
possible object in making the tiip. Messrs. Har
lia <fc Mclntyre, just to try him, offered him SSOO
if he would ahow them the mines. He relnsed
the offer point blank, saying that the Council told
him to accept no pay for what he did. Altogether,
It is a very curious case, and Judge McCuteben
and Col. McCamy tell us, is exciting a great deal
of attention.
A Fatal Duel.—The following report is given
of the duel fought on the first, by R. B. Rhett and
Judge Cooly ot New Orleans:
“In the Rhett and Cooley duel Judge Cooley
was killed at the second fire. The parties arrived
at this place on the same train at 10 o’clock this
morning. Mr. Rhett was accompanied by Messrs.
Charles Roman and Dr. Bums. Judge Cooley
was attended by Colonel George W. Carter and
Major Mcßae. The weapons were double bar
relled shot guns, one barrel loaded with a single
ball. The distance was forty yards. The ground
was promptly chosen, the distance measured and
the parties placed in position.
“ At the first fire Rhett’s shot ranged high and
Cooley’s to the right Cooley delivered his shot
first At the second fire both fired simultaneous
ly and Cooley iell mortally wounded by a shot
entering his left side and passing apparently
through his heart He expired in six minutes
without apparent euQering, only speaking the
words to Holliday;
“ i am shot thbocgh the breast.”
“The gentlemen engaged exchanged the usual
civilities after the second fire, and separated with
the expression of mental respect and considers
tion.
“The difficulty grew oat of an article published
iu the Picayune, and a reply Ircm Judge Cooley,
published \m the Times of the 37th. Col Rhett
waa not touched. It is understood that Rhett was
the challenged party.

Jeff Davis in St Lotus —The St Louis Dem
ociat Las this to fey . bout th- rbeve ran ed great
and good nun :
Jefferson Davis arrived in this city cn Saturday
lasi, and received many calls at the Planters’
House yesterday from friends who Lad known him
sicially nearly forty years ago, as well as from
those who had me.de his political and military ac
quaintance during the pa-:t twelve years. This is,
we believe, the third vUit of the ex Confederate
chieftain to this city. He was here in 1828, just
after his graduation at West Point, we suppose;
and again in 1835, when he was stationed at Jeffer
son Bi'ncks as one of the subordinate officers of
that post. The latter year was also that of his
resignation is aa officer and of his marriage with
the daughter o.' Gen. Taylor. He then settled upon
a Mississippi plantation, and ten years later en
tered Congress as one of the members from that
State; but his military ardor revived with the de
cl nation of war against Mexico, and be was roou
in the field again.
His Bner.a Vista laurels made him S-:.ator from
Mississippi, and afterward Secretary o: War under
Pierce. The rest of his life is well known to the
world, interwoven as it Las been with the greatest
events of modern history. Mi. Davis is now in
his sixty-:-ix:h year. Eis appearance is not that
of a man wao had slowly ripened into the matu
rity of ag**, bat rather, of one whom the last de
eade had preciptated into a degree of infirmity
against which his constitution ought to have been
proof. He looks at least twenty years older than
the man who was sent to Fortress Monroe in 1865
—perhaps that much older than the man who was
nleased from there two years later.
Since then his eyes have sunk, though without
losing much oi their luster; and his chetks have
ehriveled into hollows, which are poorly concealed
by a straggling gray beard. AH that once stamped
his features as these of a man o‘ great intellect
and strong will has disappeared, and to the casual
observer of to-day he might pas3 for a retired
physic’aa or a superanuated lawyer. His manners
are genial aud pleasant, aud although he studiedly
abstains from political discussions, the* warm
places of his heart are still reserved tor those who
were associated with him in the Lost Cause—
always excepting the man who first chrystalized
these words into a book title; lor we shall have
to go beyond the confines of this world to find a
more cordial hatred than that oi Davis for Pollard
and Pollard for Davis.
How General Gordon Saved General Sher
idan’s Life.— ln Georgia I heard an incident in
connection with Lieutenant General Sheridan,
which Little Phil, will read with some surprise,
and lay down the paper wilh some grateful feel
ings toward the gallant soldier who saved his life.
The night previous to the surrender of Lee at Ap
pomattox, General John B. Gordon, who com
manded Stonewall Jackson’s old co:ps, General
Fitz Hugh Lee commanding the cavalry, and Gen
eral Longstrcet held a consultation with General
R. E. Lee. At this consultation it was agreed
that General Gordon should try the Federal
strength on the following day. Sheridan in
command opposite Gordon. In accordance with
the programme, Gordon made his demonstration
the next day and was met by Sheridan’s cavalry,
which he gallantly repulsed, but finding Sheridan
well supported by large numbers of infantry fell
back and sent intelligence to General R. E. Lee.
Upon its receipt General Lee ordered the firing
to cease, and displayed a white flag, under wnieh
the surrender was subsequently made. During
the cessation of hostilities, and while Generals
Grant and Lee were in consultation, General Sher
idan, with a large retinue of officers tind men—
about one hundred in all—was seen approaching
General Gordon’s lines. Of course this cavalcade,
as it came dashing across the plain, challenged
the attention ot Gordon’s entire force. ChaneiDg
to turn his head, General Gordon saw a long,
lank Mississippian within a few yards ot him, de
liberately training hia cocked rifle on the ap
proaching horseman. Gordon dashed at the
marksman and rode him down, with an exclama
tion rather emphatic than refined: “ What do you
mean, sir?” thundered the, irate Gordon; “don’t
you know firing has ceased by my orders?” “I
know, Gineral,” replied Mississippi, as he gath
ered himselt up; “but I thought it were a ridg
ment acomin again us, aud I jist Bighted that
short-legged feller thar, and it you hadn’t come
up I’d a fetched him from whar he sot, and he’s
been a powerful heap of good to the Yanke.”
That man was one of the best shots in the divis
ion, and never failed to kill his object when de
liberate aim was had. Gordon turned to meet
Sheridan, aud Buchanan Read’s hero has never
kuown how bis lifj came to goiug ont with the
rebellion. General Gordon is now United States
Senator from Georgia.— Ex.
Gen. Ewing and Unlimited Greenbacks.-
The Chicago Tribune has the loliowing comment
on Gen. Ewing and his unlimited greenbacks, by
which he hopes to ride into the Gubernatorial
chair ot Ohio:
“ There is to be a Governor elected in Ohio in
October next, and Gen. Thomas Ewing, at pres
ent a member ot the State Constitutional Conven
tion, is b.dding for the Democratic nomination
with every prospect ot success. He has lately, in
a prepared speech, presented the pol cy of an un
limited issue of greenbacks as the sovereign rem
edy for hard times, and for all manner of impe
cuniosity—to make money so plenty that every
body’s hands will be full of it, and, by making it
a drug, to reduce the rate of interest to a nominal
sum. This is not anew proposition by no means.
It was suggested a number of years ago by Mr.
Pendleton of Ohio, who has lived to regret it; It
has been taken up from lime to time by Butler
and other persons, violently advocated for a while,
aud then abandoned. It is not new with Mr. Ew
ing himself. He made it a special hobby before
the people of Ohio lour years ago, but tt did not
take very well. We do not think that time has
commended it to the intelligent judgment of any
portion of the people. A year ago it was for
mally repudiated in the platform of all politic! j
parties, and, until Mr. Ewing recently revived it,
was considered one of the visionary schemes that
had lived its brief day and waa then laid aside for
ever.
“ Mr. Ewing, however, ha 9 for a long time been
ambitious to be Governor of Ohio, aud he seems
to have faith in this greenback proposition as a
sort of patent contrivance that wiil in some unex
pected moment lift him into the Executive chair.
The general idea of an unlimited and irredeemable
currency is much older than Mr. Pendleton or
Mr. Ewing. It dates back to a very remote time.
There is hardly a nation of Europe that has not
undertaken to make money plenty by issuing a
debased coinage and making it a legal tender at
its statutory value. Great Britain tried it more
than once; and the Ministry that made two shil
lings out of one were somewhat surprised to find
that the two new shillings would purchase the
precise amount of commodities that the one old
shilling would buy, and no mere. France, Spain
Italy, Russia and Turkey have run the entire ga
mut of debased coinage. IssuiDg paperpromises
lo-pay and calling them money is but another and
form ot debasing the coinage. No statute
can compel a man to exchange his labor or his
property for paper money except at his own price.
A greenback can have no value except wnat it
will purchase, though it may be called a dollar or
ten dollars. We have bad a striking instance of
this in the fact that the greenbacks issued and
made a legal tender curing the war have not, alter
eight years of peace and comparative National
prosperity, obtained a higher value than eighty-six
Cents on the dollar, and that too, under a legal
stipulation that the amount issued shall not be
increased.”
A Vert Proper Resulction.—Advices from
the leaders of the McEnry or People’s party in
Louisians that if there is to be anew election in
tbatjStale, they desire it to be exclusively un
der the control of the Federal Government, and
assert that if Gov. Kellogg aud his associates are
allowed in any way to control, or even intermed
dle with it, the friendsof McEnry and opponents
ot Kellogg will have nothiug to do with the elec
tion. This resolution, on tne part of the wrong
ed and outraged people cf Louisiana, is one that
all just men of whatever party, will justify and
applaud.
DeKalb county has organized her first grange.
A Bloody Fiout —W*e clip the following re
count of a p stol fight between Bradford Ray and
B. H. Bailey, which occurred in Alapaha, io Ber
rien county, cn the 2!st sf June, from the Albany
News:
“ The meeting of the parties here, I am informed
was a premeditated arrangement. Soon after their
arrival in town, Baily got considerably under the
influence of liquor, and fuel was added to the al
ready kindled flame—the long pect-up passions
were soon to leap btvend their bounds. But
through the influence of friends they were kept
apart. Baily, with pistol in band, walked away,
telling Ray, (who was then making desperate ef
forts to follow him) cot to loliew him, if he did
that he would hurt him. Alter Baily got away
all became quiet, until about fonr o’clock in the
evening, when ths parties met again in front of
Mr. Bormird’s store, where the fatal difficulty
was renewed with the addition of another party,
James Brogden, who was very drunk. Had it
not been for Brogden I am confident that the af
fair would have passed off without the loss of life.
He approached R iy with abusive language, which
caused several blows to be passed between them.
Seeing that Brogden, who was very drunk, was
getting the worst el it, he was parted from Ray
several times bat could not be controlled. While
this was going on, words were passing between
Ray and Br.ilev, who were in ten leet of each other
and as they were about to get togc-ther, Daniel
Turner came up and tried to quiet the fuss; but
by this time the row became general. Ray hid his
knife drawn and Briley liispLtol. Baily told Ray
that “ if he approached him he would shoot him.”
Dauiul Turner spoke and said, (I did not learn
what he said only from Baily niter .the fight was
over) “If you shoot Ray I will shoct you!” As
soon as these words were spoken, Bailey fired at
Ray, the ball entering the stomach, then turned
upon Turner, fired the second shot, which was
immediately returned. Baily then fired the tnird
shot at Ray, inflicting a painful wound in his left
him. Ray was at this time retiring from the scene
of action. The balance of the shooting took place
between Turner and Baily—fortunately neither
was hit. The pistols being emptied, all became
quiet, and attention was turned to Ray, who was
considered mortally wounded. Baily was arrested
by a bßiliffand turned over to Sheriff Mathews,
(who was absent from town at the time of the
difficulty) and held in custody until Monday morn
ing, when he gave bond ; but as F.ay daily grew
worse, Baily’s bondsmen became uneasy, and on
Friday, 27ih, he was lodged in Nashville jail to
await his trial at the next term of the Superior
Court, for the murder of a fellow-being.
“Ray lived until Sunday morning, 1 o’clock,
29tb, ult., when the spirit of the unfortunate man
passed away. Thus were the hearts of two fami
lies made to mourn over an irreparable loss

monial, addressed to Mr. Sawyer, viz:
Locust Grove, Ga., Oct., SO, 1872.
We, the undersigned planter-, have witnessed
the operation ol one of your Eclipse Cotton Gins,

Ibave your gin tunning. * * * I can say It
is the best I have ever seen run. It cleans the
seed perfectly. 1 have been raised in a gin house,
and I believe I know all about what should be
expected iu a first class cotton gin. I can gin five
hundred pounds oi lint inside of sixty minutes.
The first two bales ginned weighed 1100 pounds,
from 3010 pounds seed cotton, baggiDg and ties
Included.
Irwinton, Ga., October 7,1875.
Mr. P. C. Sawyer—Hear Sir : The Cotton Gin
we got from you, we are pleased to say, meets our
fullest expectations, and does all yon promised it
would dol We have g’mned one hundred and six
teen bales on it, and it has never choked nur broken
the roll. It picks the seed clean and makes good
lint. We have bad considerable experience with
vaiious kinds of cotton gins, and can, with safety,
say yonrs is the best we have ever seen run.

the roll.
