SUMAC (COMMONLY) “SHOE MAKE.”
Do our readers know the value of
the little bush or shrub, that grows in
nlmost every fence corner and on every
neglected spot of the averago planta
tion, popularly called “shoe make?’
'When properly saved, it is as much in
demand in the gieat markets of the
country as any other commodity used
in tanning and always commands a
good price. We don’t suppose there
are in all this section more than a
dozen men who ever saved or used it,
and therefore we publish the follow
ing, giving the time for gathering the
leaves and the manner of preparing
them for market. This work, if under
taken, will give employment to hun
dreds of wemen and children, and
every dollar realized from it may be
counted as a dollar made. Our own
people could utilize hundreds of bales
of it, if they would embark in the
business of tanning the hides and
skins that are now sold and sent off,
to be converted into leather, and are
then rebought at an advance of five
hundred per cent or more:
Virginia stands at the head of all
the States in producing surnae, and
owing to the care taken here in
ing and grinding, its quality is unsur
passed. The towns famous for the
sumac trade are Lynchburg, Rich
mond, Fredericksburg, Alexandria and
Winchester.
'['he season for picking sumac com
mences the first of July and ends the
last, of September, or by the first frost,
for frost turns the leaf red, and then
it is worthless. The steins, except the
leaf stems, have no strength and should
not be gathered. They are full of pith,
and if ground they only absorb the
strength of the leaf and depreciate the
value of the article.
.Sumac should be gathered in this
way: Break oft' the parts of the bush
containing the leaves, but do not
gather the blossoms or berries. Some
allow the leaves to wilt a few hours in
the sun, while others convey them im
mediately into the shade or under
cover. Cure it under shelter, to pre
serve its color and strength; when it
is dry, put it in bulk; and when dry
and windy days set in, spread it out in
beds, as wheat or oats, on a clean plank
floor. Then thresh it with a flail, when
the leaves and stems will break up fine;
then rake out the large stems and
throw them away. In drying before
threshing, it should be frequently
thrown over with a pitchfork to let
, u ji iu. xve
member to take out all the sticks,
stems and berries; the strength lies in
the leaf and leaf sterns.
The grinder’s of sumac are obliged
to have ample storage room, as they
purchase their supply for a. year’s
grinding in the months of July, Au
gust and September. Care must be
taken to have it thoroughly dry before
packing, to avoid spontaneous com
bustion. Good ventilation should al
ways be secured after it has been
packed.
above, which we lake from the
Columbus Times, will apply to this
section as well or better than to the
one for which it was written, since the
shrub grows luxuriantly and abundant
ly in all this region. Besides we have
more direct communication with the
markets in which it is easily sold. We
hope to see many of our people trying
the experiment the coming summer,
as we believe it will pay.
It is very comfortable in cold weather
to sit by a warm tire. Many who have
the care of stock dislike to leave warm
quarters, and cling to the lire place,
letting half hour after half hour pass
bv, while the hungry stock are shiver
ing and hungering for food and water.
In thus waiting for food and water, an
animal loses ilesh rapidly. Brutes are
the best timo keepers in the world.
They know the very minute their food
should be supplied, and they are dis
appointed if it does not come. The
good stock breeder, therefore, should
see that regularity and promptness
prevail in the care and management of
stock. Their various wants should
have attention at the very minute
daily. If hired men will not be prompt
in taking care of stack; if they don’t
sympathize with brutes in winter, they
ought to be discharged and more hu
mane men employed in their places.
It is one ol the facts best known to
science, that when a part of the outer
surface ol the body has been exposed
long to the cold, the greatest risk is
run in trying to reinduce warmth. To
become thoroughly chilled and theu to
pass into a warm ut mosphere, such as
is found near a tire, results in a very I
dangerous reaction which, a few hours I
later, may cause pneumonia or bron- !
chitis, or both diseases. The capillaries
of the lungs become engorged, and the
circulation becomes static, so that
there must be a reaction of inflamma- 1
tion before recovery can occur. Com- j
mon colds, says a contemporary, are
taken in the same way; the exposed i
mucous surfaces of the uose and throat I
are subjected to heat; then there iol- i
lows congestion, react ; on of heat, j
pouring “out of fluid matter, and the j
other local phaenomena of catarrh.
Castor oil, in which a small quantity
of lamp-black has been stirred, is an
excellent air and water-proof composi
tion for boots and shoes in winter. It
closes the pores of the leather, exclud
ing both air and water, consequently
making the feet very much drier and
u aimer. This has been tested for years
and can be confidently recommended.
A> DEKSON VILLK PRISON.
In view of the Republican politics
of the New York Nation the following
extract taken from a review of the re
cent work, ‘The Southern side; or
Audersonvilie Prison, by Dr. R. It.
Stephenson, C. S. A., Chief Surgeon
of the C. S. Military Hospital,’ is just
and impartial:
‘That of 270,000 Federal prisoners
in Confederate hands, 22,570 died;
while of 220,000 Confederate prisoners
in Federal hands, 26,436 died.
That J. C. Gibbs, of Columbia, S. C ,
in 1864, cashed some ten hundred
drafts of Union officers confined there
to the amount of over one million dol
lars in Confederate currency, and that
np to 1874 he had never received a
single dollar. Lt. G. H, Rowley, Se
cond Infantry; Lt. O. H. Nealv, Unit
ed States Infautrv, and Lieut. G. E.
Saber, Second R t. Cavalry, are men
tioned among the drawers of these
drafts; and if such men are still living,
they would do well to answer the
charge.
It is pleasant to be able to conclude
this notice with the satemeut that the
book seems to us to prove that the
Confederate surgeons, at least those in
higher positions, were humane and
faithful man, and strove to lessen the
evils which were beyond their power to
overcome.
The Confederate government during
the war made repeated offers to the
Federal authorities for an exchange of
prisoners, which were rejected by Stan
ton and Grant.
These are facts, which stand out iu
bold colors in the official correspond
ence between the Commissioners of
the two governments.
The Confederacy was bloekad ul,
cut off’, and sealed up, and its own ar
mies were suffering for want of suffi
cient food and clothing; the Federal
autliorites had the ports, factories and
markets of the world open to draw
their supplies from; and yet,according
to the official reports of the Surgeon
General of the United State-Army,
more Confederate prisoners of war
died in the Northern prison pens, than
Northern prisoners died in the prisons
of the Confederate States.
These facts cannot be contradicted;
they are stubborn things, and after the
military murder of Wertz and Mr?.
Surratt, we thiuk it better for the
credit of the Union that this useless
controversy should cease.—Mobile
Cycle.
The New York Tribune, which is now
doing what it can for the carpet bag
Ciinafl will not care to republish
extract from Horace Greeley s famous
Union Square speech: ‘Well, gentle
men, the thieving carpet-baggers are a
mournful fact. They do exist there,
and I have seen them. They are fel
lows who have crowded down South in
the track of our armies—some of them
on sutlers’ wagous; some of them bear
ing cotton permits; some of them look
ing sharply to see what might turn up,
and they remained there. They at
once ingratiated themselves with the
simple, credulous blacks, very willing
to follow any white professing to be
champions of ;heir rights. Some get
elected Senators, some Representa
tives, Judges, and so on. And there
they stand, right in the public eye,
stealing and plundering, many of them
with both arms around negroes, and
their hands in their rear pockets.’
‘Do you go to bed in good lime?’
William blushed,
‘As early ns most young men, sir,’
he said.
‘And how do you spend your even
ings, William?'
‘Oh, sir, not as my pious mother
would approve,’ answered the young
man, tears standing in his eyes.
‘William,’ said the old merchant,
‘your character and all your future
usefulness and prosperity depend upon
the way you pass your evenings. Take
my word for it, it is a young man’s
evenings that mako or break him.
A woman named Marie Celvet has
just been sentenced to twenty years at
hard labor for the murder of her sister
Julie in Paris. While the trial was go
ing on she constantly wore a long
black crape veil. ‘Wby do you wear
this veil i asked one of the officials.
To which the sweet girl gently replied,
‘I am in mourning for my poor sister!’
J his fairly matches the Drench parri
cide, who, on being asked what he had
to say after his condemnation for
ing his father and mother, entreated
the court to ‘have mercy on a poor or
phan.’
In Georgia, last year, there were 147
failures, with liabilities of $3,110,145,
against 165 failures, with liabilites of
j4> 128,464, in 1875; 118 failures, with
liabilities of $1,845,000, iu 1874; and
against 07 failures, with liabilities of
$2,113,000, in 1873. Number reported
in business of Georgia last year, 6,928;
in Alabama, 4,961: in South Carolina’
4,511, and iu Tennessee, 8,151.
Spend your time in nothing which
yon know must be repented of. Spend
it in nothing which you could not re
view with a quiet conscience on your
dying bed. Spend it in nothing which
you might not safely and properly be
found doing, if death should surprise
you in the act.
We cannot escape trouble by running
away from duty. Jonah once made
the experiment; but soon found him
self where all his imitators will, in the
end, find themselves. Therefore, man
fully meet and overcome the difficulties
aud trials to which the post assigned
you by God’s providence exposes you.

rpHE different editions of Thk Sun during
tlie next year will be the same a daring
the year that has just passed. The dally edi
tion will on week days be a sheet ol four
pages, and on Sundays a sheet of eight pages,
or sGbroad columns; while the weekly edition
will be a eight pages of the same di
mensions and character that are already fami
liar to our friends.
The Son will contiuue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom,
and integrity for hollow pretenoe, imb cility,
and fraud in the administration of public
affairs. It will contend for the government of
the people by the people and lor the people,
as opposed to govern cent by frauds in the
ballot-box and in the counting of votes, en
forced by military violence. It will deavor
to supply its readers—a body now not far from
a million of souls—with the most oareful,
complete, and trustworthy accounts of current
events, and will employ for this purpose a
numerous and carefully selected staff of re
porters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to
deserve aud enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping what the law does not give them,
while it will endeavor to confidence
of the public by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments of unjustifi
ed power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents
a month or $6 50 a year, post paid, or with
the Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, sl,-
•20 a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of $1 a year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed
by individual subscribers without the necessi
ty of making up clubs. At the same time, it
any of our friends choose to aid in extending
our circulation, we shall be grateful to them,
and every such jrersou who sends us ten or
more subscribers from one place will be enti
tled to one copy of the paper for himself with
out charge. At one dollar a year, postage
paid, th 6 expenses of paper aud printing are
barely repaid; aud, considering the ske of the
sheet and ilie quality of its contents, we are
confident the people will consider The Weekly
Sun the cheapest newspaper published in the
world, aud we trust also cue of the very b.st

Sayannali Morning News
FOR 1877 .
Gu the Ist of January, 1877, the Morning
News enters upon its twenty-seventh volume,
aud, it is hoped by its conductors, upon a
prosperous year. Every returning anniversa
ry has witnessed its extending influence, aud
to-day it is the text of the political faith of
thousands of readers. Its uniform consisten
cy and steadfast devotion to principle has
gained for it the confidence of the public,thus
enabling it to contribute larg,ly to the tri
umph of the Democratic party.
Ia the future, as in the pas - , no pains will
be spared to make the Morning New in every
lespect still more deserving of the confldenes
aud watronage which has been so liberally ex
tended to it bs the people of Georgia and
Florida. The ample means of the establish
ment will be devoted to the improvement of
the paper in all its departments, and to mak
ing it a comprehensive, instructive aud relia
ble medium of the current news. Its staff of
special correspondents—at Washington, At
lanta,’ Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and other
points of interest—has been reorganized with
a view of meeting every possible emergency
that may arise, and pains will be taken to
make its commercial Dews, foreign and do
mestic, complete and relisble.
As we are about entering upon the new year,
we desire to eall especial attention to our club
ratc-s of subscription.
POST-talt FKBK.
We will pay postage on all our papers going
to mail Bubsribers, thus making the Morning
News the cheapest newspaper of its size and
character in the South.
