SPRING GREETING OF
EDGAR L. ROGERS!
Leader, and Regulator of Low Prices.
My Miraculous mu-cos* in liarru-sville for tbe past lour years 1m- stimulated
me to even greater exertions to please the people and merit their patronage for this sea
son. Good Goode, new styles, low prices, and square dealings will he in the future as in
the past, my business motto. Keep an eye on my goods and prices and I will never fai
to save you money.
To trv to give the people even an idea of my immense spring sttek and how cheap I
run selling goods would require a whole pajier, so be silent that ye may hear of just a
few of my many wonders.
DRESS GOODS.
In these 1 have the best selections, the neatest styles, and the biggest variety ever
shown in this market. My Dress (bods stock embraces everything from the finest Al
batros, Kaboline and Boncle cloths down to the cheapest Cashmeres even as low as Be.
|st yard and the beuutv of the w hole thing is that I can give you trimmings and but
tons -ice. to match them ail.
WHITE GOODS.
My White (basis stock is truly marvelous White Lawns oc. a yard up ( Check Muslin's
7c. per yard up. White Swiss and Mulls, India Linen, Checked Nainsooks, and in fact
1 have got them all.
EMBROIDERERS AND LACES.
Here is where 1 can interest you, for 1 certainly have got them this season, and all
competition on Hamburg*, especially must stand aside. My He. Edges and insertions are
the talk of everybody, w ho has seen them, and the 10c. 12jc. loc. 20c. and 2<>c. Line are
truly wonderful. I have Embroideries and Lucca this time from the very cheapest to
the highest grade of all overs and Flouncing*, (.some to see them and he paralyzed.
PARASOLS.
The immense Factories of New York and Philadelphia, have done their best for me,
and fixed me in this lino, with the very latets novelties from 15c. to 10.00- Don’t buy,
or even look at x Parasol or Umbrella until you have seen mine.
GENTS FURNISHING GOODS.
Mv stock of Gents Furnishing Goods is larger and more complete than I ever dream
ed that 1 could carry hero; but the prices and styles will sell them. My 50c, Laundred
and UTnlaundried White. Shirts are clinchers, and need to be seen to be appreciated. I
am headquarters for fine Shirts in plain and plaited bosom, Fine Scarfs and nobby collars
and curt's.
SHOES AND HATS.
Shoes and good lu nest Shoes, are in mind a great item to the retail dealer. Tam agent
for some of toe best Factories and am prepared to fit you up in Shoes at low figures and
give you a guarantee on them, and as for hats I make them a specialty and have some
treats in store for vou in this line.
CLOTHING.
(nothing has been a life long study with me, and I don’t believe myself presumptuous
when 1 shv that 1 think 1 know the wants of the people in this line. I have the cele
brated Voorheis Miller and Hupei Goods that have a world wide reputation for their
superior goods, elegant fits, and handsome make up. My Clothing stock is now filled to
overflowing, and 1 am ready to let them slide at my usual low prices.
I thunk my friends and customers for past favors and trust to merit their patronage
even more liberally in the future. Messrs. J. F. Howard and B. Z. Holmes are with me

SAMUEL DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, QA.
The excellent picture we prerent at the
bead of t his column, is of a man who is as
"ell and favorably known in his capacity
as a travelling man or -drummer” as any
one man in the United States.
Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recent
ly : “about four years ago l had a severe
attack of rheumatism, which compietely
disahled me tV>r a time, and which develop
ed into what is commonly called -chronic,'
attacking me when least expected, and lav
ing me up entirely; incapacitating me for
any kind ot business, and causing me as
much suffering in a day as should be crowd
ed in a life time. After one of mv most
severe attacks, and when 1 had |iist <-,,t
able to bobble around, 1 met .1. M. Hunni
cutt, an old frie id. and he said he could
make a remedy tnat would cure me, and.
by gracious, be did. I two bottles of
bis stuff, prepared from roots and herbs,
and I have never had a twinge of rheuma
tism since. The medicine was not prepar
ed for sale at that time, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnieutt for bis friends.
About six nvmths ago it was determined to
place it upon the market, and a firm was
organized for that purj**-e. Two weeks
ago, in the midst of my suffering. 1 noted
in one of their advertisements that it was
good for kidney troubles also. I knew it
would wire rheumatism, and I bought a
half a dozen bottle- at once and determin
ed to give it a fair show at a kidney di
ease ot long standing. It may seem ex
tra'agant. but the first day's use gave me
relief and heft-re I had completed taking
one bottle mv di-agreeabie symptoms had
entirely disappeared. 1 have used two
bottles up to this time, and 1 have not felt
a trace of my disease for a week. '

FORSYTH. MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 27. 1886.
COMMUNICATED.
Luray, Va., July 11th. 1886.
Editor Advertiser : — 'To-day be
ing Sunday, and tiring of lounging
and reading, the iilea occurred to me
that J would scribble you a few
pages of observations taken in by
the witer during bis three summer’s
business tour through the Virgin
ias as a commercial traveler, which
if you deem of sufficient interest to
your readers you can insert in your
columns, otherwise consign the same
to your waste basket.
There is no more pleasant and in
teresting tour to be made in tiie coun
try by the wayfarer who has leisure
and does not care to make much
outlay of money than one through
Virginia, oldest of tiie colonies, first
among the states. Not a trip to he
gone over in the stereotyped style,
it would then afford not a particle of
pleasure. Pedeslrianism, country
stage coaches, and old fashioned ho
tels would have to he availed of in
conjunction with the railway and
modern lintel ; the people and their
home life would have to lie conned
somewhat, the curiosities and sights
sought out and examined into. So
much it would be, above all, a lesson
in character and in history from the
life, aside from natural beauties.
Such a tour, extended both as to
space and time, was made by the
writer through the most famous sec
tion of Virginia, from Mount Ver
non to York and Jamestown, down
the superb Shenadoah valley, across
the mountains, over the battlefields;
through cached hamlets on to towns
of high renown. A little steamer
daily takes a load of human freight
from Washington down the lovely
Potomac to Mount \ ernon, pil
grims from all parts of the Union.
The sail is charming, and in an hour
all are landed on the river s shore at
the toot of the hill upon which the
mansion is built. Some are in be
coming, reverential mood, others
are bent on gayetv, but patriotism
pervades the crowd, including the
cowboy or backwoodsman from afar.
Good pathways lead up to the tomb
and tbenco to the house. At the
tomb hats come off before the simple
marble inscribed with the great
name, a moment of inspection en
sues, and the pathway is resumed to
ward the venerable dwelling, its
rooms and relics being of course
minutely viewed. The place is well
kept by the ladies in charge, trees
and flowers abound, and lunch can
be had before the little steamer calls
for the homeward return. Standing
on the spot, the chief attraction is
fancying the great man, his well
rounded career ended, sitting under
the noble trees on the brow of the
bank or in the old fashioned piazza
looking across the broad river, re
calling the past or musing of the
future, destined to bnug him endur
ing fame. The trip is usually an
extremely enjoyable one. Back to
Alexandria, rich in his governors,
the church in which he worshipped,
the houses he frequented and duly
visited. On through Fairfax Court
House, wo stand at last on the first
battlefield of the war, Bull Bun.
The veteran of Waterloo sees \Y el
lington in his minds eye, and so
now can Beauregard be seen by
the southei u veterans on the banks
of Bull Bun. There is a very eager
and laudable desire on the part of
the soldiers fun away down in Dix
ie’s land to see and stand once more
upon the Virginia battlefields which
their valor and devotion helped to
put so higli up on the scroll of his
tory, and not a few have revisited
them. Their dearest memories will
ever remain clustered around them,
ever enlivened by the associations
connected with them. How many
common soldiers lie on these fields
dead, not for idle glory, but from a
sense of duty, (say it evenly ;) that
was not vanity, but a wholesome
lesson for those left living and to
live. Then the blasting and hurling
tramp of war. now peaceful silence
over all bright flowers; nature all
aglow with life, not reclining under
destruction. What a picture is that
in remembrance; what a picture is
this before us now, the coloring is
widely apart, but in truth, if we
only look closely enough about, con
trast will be found strong every
where and always.
Plunging into the mountain re
gion Berryville is u fit eye-opener to
the beautiful valley of the Shenan
doah river, it is one of the neatest
cosiest, little villages to meet any
where. with excellent inn and some
pretty residences. A few hundred
yards distant can be seen the first
log house, shingled, put up by Wash
ington with his own hands for his
dwelling when he was Lord Fair
fax’s surveyor. It is of course very
much decayed, yet wonderfully well
preserved, if time and weather be
considered. A flat stone lays in
front of the door, or the opening
where the door was. and it would
appear that there was just space
enough in the loft for the general or
his body servant to sleep in ami not
be smothered, which is to say that
the structure is diminitive. So
young, he seems to have had a gen
erals eye. for his little building is
situated near a large spring, still
now. as then, bubbling forth its de
licious water. Other relics of him
are to be *ound in tine neighborhood.
At a cottage called the -Briars " in
the vicinity lives J din E-Ren Cooke,
“the Virginia novelist,” as he is
known, seeing the state has none
other, and as his writing has been
exclusively confined to Virginia
subjects. The attractions of Har
per’s Ferry, Yfincli ester, Luray
Cave, Stanton, a town of female semi
naries, and other ’•points of inter
est in the valleys!are richly deserv
ing of their notoriety. Conven
ient lines of railway bear us through
the valley, and from these stages
and vehicles will take the traveler
bent to go on either side, north or
south.
The “peninsula” formed by the
James and York rivers, extending as
it were from Biehrnond to Fortress
Monroe, is peculiarly interesting
from the fact of its having been the
first settled, and tints entitled to be
known as ‘-Virginia proper.” Tou
rists are conveyed over it by means
of two lines of railway and two lines
of steamboats going down the James
and the York. One line of railway
leads to the head of the York river,
and is here called the “York River
Railway.” It is in good condition,
forty miles long, but its train coach
es might be improved upon, not be
ing exactly of the Pullman palace
car order. In ’fact they are rural,
but one gets over the ground in
them all tiie same, just as the small
boy who takes his ride on the omni
bus steps gets to the goal as do the
insiders on cushioned seats. We
stop at the “white house” station on
leaving the York train and find our
selves inspecting the plantation and
site of the abode (for the old white
house was burned during the war)
where Washington escorted Mrs.
Curstis to the neighboring church
of St. Peters to get married to her
widows hip. Gen. Lee possessed
through the Curtises this mansion
and fine estate, and lived upon it.
His youngest |on, Robert E. Jr.,
still owns and cultivates a large por
tion of it nearer lo WeA Point. A
little below the white house, on the
river Pamunky,; stands “Pamunky
Town.” It is known to a very few
only that neal descendants cf the
queen of the tribes of the Pamunky
Indians have continued to reside in
Virginia after the disappearance of
all other tribes. The soil is as sa
cred in their eyes as in those of the
pale faces, the part they own and
occupy, at least, which consists of
eight hundred acres ol land in King
William county. Including men,
women and children they number
about eighty persons, none of whom
are of pure olood, as their progeni
tors for several -alteration:! inter
married with < whites, mulatties
and black C tl-hlanding this
fact, the distinct physiognomy ofthe
Indian strongly asserts itself, and an
observer will not fail to recognize at
once the peaceful fishermen and
peasants of Pamunky Town to be
the direct descendants of Opee
elnincnough and his tawany war
riors of 1 GOT. The tribe still has a
chief, and are untaxed by state or
Federal government. The land on
which they live is now and ever has
been held in trust for their benefit
by commissioners appointed by the
county court. During the late war
their rights as neutrals were respec
ted by both belligerents, and they
received compensation from the
government of the United States
at the cessation of hostilities for
damages done by the Federal troops.
Although it is not required of them,
it is the custom of their chiefs to
make a complimentary visit to each
newly inaugurated governor at
Richmond and express their
fealty to the state by a present of
fish or game. Thus they have lived
in perfect security for two hundred
years among the descendants of their
ancient enemies, a remnant of the
original owners of the country
outsed by the whites. During all
this time their little settlement has
remained as free as Andona, in the
Pyrenees or the little republic of San
Marino in the Appenines. They
represent the only free organized
community of aboriginal Americans
now left on the Atlantic slope, and
with their disappearance will have
passed away the last of that myste
rious race cast of the Missississippi
river. They have schools of their
own but they are greater adepts at
fishing and hunting than imbibing
book knowledge.
Yorktown, Williamsburg and
Jamestown, the first of capitals, are
now mere shadows and wrecks, yet
gloriously alive on the pages of his
tory. The site ofthe first settlement
is about as hard to find as that of
Troy, though we may easily tread
the plain “where it was.”
Several churches and a goodly
number of houses, A'et standing and
used and dating from the colonial
era. are to be seen in the “peninsu
la.” The mason of their walls is
thick, solid, as good as when put up,
and the finishings are likewise sub
stantial. such buildings date from
the latter half of the colonial regime.
The solid old brick houses are yet
tenantable after a lapse of more than
100 years. Several of the finest
were ruthlessly destroyed by the
Federal soldiery, especially by that
scon rage of any country hostile cav
alry.
St. Peter** church, still in good
order near the “white bouse” is of
very solid and quaint built. Mr.
Keppler an Episcopal minister of
Richmond, was its rector for many
years before the war, and during
ilie straggle be preached there often.
His son recalls having heard his
father say that an old darkey rela
ted to General Lee and himself as
they were strolling about the
grounds the manner in which he
witnessed Washingtons marriage
party as it proceeded from the
j “white house” to the church. St.
Peter’s is itself a curiosity with the
peculiar tower and inbuilt shed, un
der which carriages could empiy
their load ot worshippers in bad
weather without any fear of wetting
their feet or garments. Service is
occasionally held in the church,
though the attendance is slim at the
best, owing to the sparseness of the
population roundabout. The locali
ty was devastated during the war,
and many of the inhabitants were
ruined and left to seek their fortunes
elsewhere ; those who had been well
off and thriving refugeed to Rich
mond during the battles, afterwards
broke up their old moreings and sold
their estates for much below their
value, in tact sacrificed them in order
to move away. The same unfortu
nate rcsulW-tnok place at many other
localities in the state. Many old
homesteads were thus utterly razed
to the ground or fell into the hands
of strangers, who have since so
changed them that they would not
be recognized by the former own
ers themselves. The “peninsula”
bore its full share of the brunt of
the war, and its battlefields are
almost left alone to tell the tale of
glory and ruin. Clarence.
FARMERS AND TARIFF.
The tenancy towards the concen
tration of exclusive priviledges in
the hands of the few, is fast under
mining’the pillows on which, our re
publican or democratic institutions
rest. Since Mr. Morrison and his
democratic supporters failed in their
efforts to lighten the burden of taxa
tion, by reducing the tariff, many of
the organs of protection have turned
loose their slush tubs on the mem
bers of congress from Georgia and
other southern states who supported
and aided, Mr. Morrison in his ef
forts to reduce taxation, calling them
free traders and fanatics, and tlieir
arguments free trade twaddle.
Now let us see on what foundation
such assertions rest. The democrat
ic p’atform on which Samuel J. Til
den was nominated and was elected
contained this plank on the tariff
question.
“Wo denounce the present tariff,
levied upon nearly tour thousand
articles, as a masterpiece of injustice,
inequality and false pretence. It
yields a dwindling, not a yearly ris
ing revenue. It has impoverished
many industries to subsidize a few.
It prohibits imports that might pur
chase the products of American la
bor. It has degraded American
commerce from the first to an infe
rior rank on the high seas.
It has cut down the laics
of American manufactures at home
and abroad and depleted the returns
of American agriculture an industry
followed by half of our people. It
costs the people five times more than
it produces to the treasury, obstructs
the processes of production, and
wastes the fruits of labor. It pro
motes fraud fosters smuggliu, enrich
es dishonest officials and bankrupts
honest merchants. We demand that
all custom house taxation shall be
only for revenue.”
It will be remembered that with
this plank in its platform the demo
cratic party carried the country for
the first time in twenty years. ” The
democratic national platform of 1836
contains this article: “Hostility to
any and all monopolies by legisla
tion, because they are violations ot
the equal rights ot the people. The
true foundation of republican gov
ernment is the equal rights of overt
citizen in his T>erson and property
and its management.”
The democratic platform of IS 10 1
has this plank. “Justice and sound
policy forbid the federal government
to foster one branch of industry to
the detriment of another, or to cher
ish the interest of one portion to the
injury ot another portion of our com
mon country, it is the duty of ev
ery branch of the government to en
force and practice the most rigid
economy in conducting our public
affairs, and no more revenue ought t
be raised than is required to defray
the necessary ex peaces of the gov
ernment. The democratic platform
I of 1852 has this flank on the tariff
! question.
Resolved, that it is the dut\ T of
every branch ofthe government to
enforce and practice the most rigid
economy in conducting our public
affairs, and that no more revenue
ought to be raised than is required
to defray the necessary expenses of
the government and for the gradusil
but eertian extinction of the public
debt and to sustain and advance
among them constitutional liberty
by continuing to resist all monopo
; lies and exclusive legislation for the
benefit of the few at the expense of
the many.”
The platform of 1844 and 1848
| contained planks equally strong in
opposing monopolies and excessive
revenue taxes.
With the above facts before us
what right have those editors who
eali themselve democrats to denounce
our representatives who aided Mr.
Morrison in his efforts to reduce
revenue taxes.
It lias always been the policy of
tiie democratic party to oppose rais
ing only more revenue titan was ab
solutely necessary to run the gov
ment economically. The democrat
ic party has never favored a tariff for
' protection. This is a free country
and every man has a right, to his
opinion and if a man thinks it right
to tax all the people, by a protective
tariff, for the benefit ofthe few who
are engaged in protected industries
it is his right to so express himself,
but he has no right as a democrat to
denounce democrats for adhering to
democratic principles. If they do
not like democratic principles then
let them go where they belong to the
republican party, as that party has
always been in favor ot a protective
tariff.
In a speech delivered in the Uni
ted States senate on the 10th day ot
January 1882, lion. James B. Beck
said “to-day- the farmer who furnish
es nine-tenths of our vast exports,
and is compelled to sell them in un
protected markets or at their prices,
cannot buy with the money he gets
in the market where he sells, the
things lie must have without paying
45 per cent, at least more than they
are worth or than man who has
them for sale asks for them. I nev
er could see how that protected
American labor.”
1 lie foreign seller can sell, in spite
of us at the price he asks to any of
the 1,400,000,000 in the world out
side of the United Stotes. Congress
cannot prevent that. All it can do
or does do is to rob our own people
by requiring them to pay for what
they must have 45 per cent, more
than anybody else pays. The pro
tection (so called) is a congressional
license to a few influential corpora
tions or wealthy combinations to
extort from the American farmers,
laborers, professional men and their
families a large percentage of their
earnings, not to support the govern
ment, but to enrich people who have
no right to take any thing from them,
and call that protection. It is the
protection the wolf gave the lamb.”
To show the corrupt working of
such a system I quote from the 7th
page of the same speech of Hon. J.
13. Beck who was showing how the
system worked in New York, he said:
“The secretary ot the treasury re
ported officially that at the port of
New York alone, in a few years, an
informer named Jayne received
$451,000 as his share of the plunder,
while the collector, the appraiser,
and the naval officers each received
about $170,000 as their portion of it,
in addition to the large ariual sala
ries paid to them by law, while the
merchants were robbed indiscrimi
nately regardless of their right or
justice.”
The system of protection was
wrong in principle from the start,
and fraud and corruption have fol
lowed as the natural consequence of
such error. At the battle of Rephi
dem, which was fought 3377 years
ago between the Amalekites and the
Hebrews, when the people held up
the hands of Moses their leader and
legislator the Hebrews prevailed,
and when they let 'down his hands
the Amalikites prevailed. So it has
been in all countries from that time
to the present, when public leaders
grappled with error and difficulties,
if the people did not sustain them
and hold up their hands then they
of necessity failed. “It is hard to
tread the wine press alone.” Our
Georgia congressmen have stood up
in the national congress against or
ganized capital for tiie people’s rights
and now the people ought to come
to their rescue when the democratic
protection is to tpour out their anath
a mas on their heads for doing their du
ty. If the people do not sustain their
congressmen in this ease why after
awhile they will fall into the ranks
of the enemy and join the republi
can ranks who clamor for protection.
Let the people speak out on I his
subject. In the issue of June 29th
ofthe Monroe Advertiser a writer
who signs “Cobden” shows that out
of a tax th* people pay to the pro
tective system 0f81,700,000,000 that
only 8300,000,000 go to the support
ofthe government. The remainder
$1,400,000,000 go to build up protec
ted in dust res. Farmers, merchants,
laborers and professional men have
the power to change this system.
Shall we do it, . r shall we “carry
about u '•ontinn-Hi’- this bodv of
death,’ his intolerable incubus?
