THE EAGLE.

What has become of the Grant
boom?
Mr. Hayes’ message was a lengthy
docament.
Three more weeks and then —
Christmas, and the tin horn.
The Bainbridge Demorat is build
ing a presidential boom for Han
cock.
The Augusta News is two years old,
and as popular a daily as you could
find with a search warrant.
You can write it down in your
political note book, that Georgia
will take none of Grant in hers.
While we are building booms so
unanimously, we ought to build one
for the clement attachment. Lets do
it.
That Towns county story in. the
constitution, bears the earmarks of
the vivid imagination of Henry
Grady.
Ben Russell of the Bainbridge
Democrat, is “agin” on the usury law-
Let the Constitution give Benny a
hug.
There has only been one nomina
tion for Governor this week, as far
as heard,from —Hon, A. T. Mclntyre
of Thomas.
State politics are remarkably quiet.
The boys whose business is to stir
up the animals, must be taking holi
day a head of time.
Burnside got in his work on the
canal question, the very first day of
the session. Burnside is evidently
a very previous patriot.
Now that congress is fairly under
way, the country can sit still and
hold its breath, and see what ar
rangements are made for 1880.
Some farmers in Meriwither coun
ty heard a strange noise in the woods
the other day. It was probably some
home political hen hatching a new
boom.
They are having all sorts of fun in
Maine over the returns of the recent
election. Gov. Garcelon seems to be
standing up to Blaine, and his gang
like a little man.
If Grant is a presidential candi
“tlaie next year he will be the canid
date of the old stalwart, ring jobbing
republicans, and will recieve no
democratic votes.
Mr. Hayes wants to retire the
greenbacks, and give the national
banks full swing. By Mr. Hayes
permission we would qrefer to retire
the national banks.
With a clement attachment, and
cotton seed oil mill, we could start
a boom in this neighborhood, that
would make the joints of old “good
times” fairly crack.
The Atlanta Republican is jubilant
over Felton’s letter. “There shall be
more rejoicing over one sinner that
repeneth, than over ninety and nine
just persons who need no repentance.
The Atlanta Republican is authori
ty for Yhe statement that the bottom
has dropped out of the democratic
barrel. Does it mean uncle Sam
Tilden’s bar’l,? If so, and its informa
tion is trustworthy, it will be sad
news to numerous panting patriots.
The Atlanta Republican says, Gov.
Colquitt’s preaching to the negros
will not make him republican votes.
As the Governor has no such object
in view, the assertion of the fact, if
fact it be, does not amount to any
thing.
When the southern republicans
reorganize, as it is stated they will
do soon, anxiety is felt as to what
position J. E. Bryant will occupy in
the procession. Without a carpet
bagger at the head of the column to
manipulate and direct the rank and
file what to do, the thing would look
awkward.
It is stated that the Treasury
Department is in favor of restoring
the import tax on tea and coffee, on
the ground that the price of these
articles has not sensibly decreased
since the tax was removed. While
this may be true, it is reasonably cer
tain that the price will be raised if
the duty is restored.
The Detroit Tribune sneeringly
says that “a noble Southron has giv
en Ben Hill, a gold watch in token
of the donor’s admiration,” etc. It
would have been just as easy for the
Tribune to have told the truth and
said that the watch was presented
by an ex-officer of the Union Army,
who hails from the state of Wis ion
sin.
It is estimated that there were one
hundred and fifty thousand voters in
New York who did not go to the
pods at all this year. They are not
nearly all Independents or republi
cans, but every one of them are
democrats who were disgusted with
the late faction fight and wouldn’t go •
to the polls. In the presidential elec
tion they will all be out and ensure
the state to the democratic nominee.
Worth Thinking About.
Much has been recently said in
the press about a new invention in
manufacturing, x.uown as the Cle
ment attachment, by which cotton is
converted from the seed into yarn,
thus doing away with the expense of
ginning and packing, paying for bag
ging and ties, and doubling the price
of cotton. After careful considera
tion of the matter we are satisfied
that if acted upon all over the south
it must result in a complete revolu
tion j,of old methods, and an im
mense gain to our section.
Under the old system, our farmers i
confined themselves to raising and
baling the cotton, and taking for it I
whatever price the speculators chose
to put on it. Whatever profits were
made in the spinning and weaving
went into the pockets of eastern 1
manufacturers.
With this new attachment, which '
can be put up at small cost the
farmers can spin their cotton into
yarn which is worth double the price
of the rawl material. With a small
factory in every neighborhood, the
farmers can dispose of their cotton
in the seed at its full price, the facto
ry can spin it, addingas much more to
its value, and thus bringing into the
country nearly or quite douole the
money for every crop of cotton that
it would otherwise bring.
But this is not all. Another
wealth producing avenue can be
opened up to our section by the in
troduction of cotton seed mills, A
gentleman from Louisiana who has
been in this business for some time
recently visited Westminster S. C.»
to see the clement attachment.
He was thoroughly pleased with it.
He says he is now running a seed oil
mill, and he is going to put in four
clement attachment mills. He says
he will then be prepared to handle
cotton all the way from the boll to
yarn and oil. Os the profits of the
clement attachment, we have already
spoken. The gentleman says that he
gets sl2, worth of oil from every ton
of cotton seed, and that the residue
is just as valuable for stock food or
fertilizers as before it was taken out.
In other words every ton of raw cot
ton seed put into the ground as fer
ilizers wastes twelve dollars worth of
oil. In addition he uses the hulls
for fuel, and sells the ashes for fertil
zer.
We have thus hurriedly alluded to
these matters, and may not have
made ourselves as clear as we could
wish. We should like to see these
enterprises inaugurated right here in
our city. With a clement mill to
gin and spin the cotton, and an oil
mill to make oil and furtilizers, we
would reap five benefits; first, a ready
market for seed cotton, second ; the
large influx of ready money which
these enterprises would - bring into
our midst; third; employment for
quite a number of people, fourth, asav
ing of large amount of money anaual
ly sent away for fertilizers, and fifth,
the general prosperity which all these
comoined would bring.
The matter is worth thinking
about.
Mr. Hayes’ Message.
On the assembling of Congress on
Monday, Mr Hayes sent in his an
nual nessage to that body. The doc
ument as a state paper, is tame and
commonplace with but few sugges
tions or recomendations worthy of
special notice.
The message opens with the finan
ce« and recomends that the coinage
of silver dollars at the present legal
ratio be suspended during the pen
dency of the propositions for unity of
action between the United States and
the principal commercial powers of
Europe • Ou the same line he rec
commends that the greenbacks or
legal tender United Slates notes
should be retired from circulation as
their issue could be justified alone as
a war measure, and that the circula
tion of these notes for any protrac
ted period in time of peace was not
contemplated by the framers of the
law under which they were issued
and is without warrant in the con
stitution. This part of the’message
is carefully worded but it is clear
that Mr. Hayes makes the best argu
ment he can for the bondholder class
and against the two great democratic
measures of stopping the contraction
of the currency and remonetizing sil
ver, by which the country was saved
from total bankruptcy and ruin and
the present condition of comparative
prosperity inaugurated.
He urges additional legislation
against polygamy, the appropriation
of funds for the compensation of Mar
shals and some few other points, a
notice of which, as well as a further
discussion of his financial scheme
must be deferred to another time*
Look after your wild lauds. Un
der the recent decision of the Su
preme Court, nearly all of the sales
of wild lands for taxes have been
declared null and void and the pur
chasers got no tittle. The wild land
sharks who have been so busy for
years hunting up other people’s land
and buying iifas against it, have been
caught in their own trap and the real
owners cannot be dispossessed under
these fraudulent sales. It is now to
the interest of every man who owns
any land that comes under the defi
nition of wild land, to look after his
interest and save his property before
it is claimed by some squatter.

We are quite sure that Mr. Speer has

then should he rush into print, to deny
or explain the surmises which have been

about his probable conduct in the next
session. After all he will be judged by
his record, and of his past record we
have heard no complaint.
Neither Point nor Pith.
CCattanooga Times.
Dr. Felton’s late letter has neither
point no pith in it. His professions of
Jeffersonian democracy sound silly to
those who know him as a fiat money
man. The letter was addressed to the
national review, the organ of the rag
baby lunatics. Felton is merely a
demagogue, who never originated or
effectually advocated any measure in
■ congress; and he finds proper channel
i to the public through Lee Crandall’s
rickety, blatherskite sheet.
Gen. Sherman Excited.
5 New York Sun.
The proposition to confer an excep-
J tional rank in the army on Gen. Grant
i has disturbed the equanimity of Gen.
Sherman so seriously that his nervous
f system may be said to have suffered a
> severe shock. He is reported as going
about Washington in an excited nrame
1 of mind, and as making indiscriminate
j war upon the supporters of the scheme,
whether republicans or democrats, and
without regard to color or previous con
dition of servitude.
r
Better Defeat than Dishonor.
Gwinnett Herald.
If to stand by our principles brings
- defeat, let it come. Better defeat than
3 dishonor. If to battle against central;
ism, and in favor of constitutional gov
. eminent and the rights of the States,
j arrays against us for the present the
t masses of the north, let us hold our
ground. We are right, and the man
who abandons the right and asks the
south to fall into the tail end of the
, radical procession, is unfit to represent
Georgia on the floors of congress, or to
speak for her people anywhere.
Why Is It I
Atlanta Republican,
Why it is that some of the democrats
in the south, are now raising the Grant
boom, is a mystery to us. While in of
fice he was the representative of the
most stalwart ideas entertained among
republicans. Whenever necesssary in
the south to protect the lives of repub
licans from Ku-Klux, and vicious per
sons generally, he stationed troops, and
by word and action plainly told the
democrats of the south that if they did
not behave themselves, he would make
them do so. Now in the short space of
four years, we find many of them
whooping for Grant. What does it
mean ?
Felton’s Letter.
Atlanta Republican.
Many republicans express little satis
faction at Felton’s letter,. They seem
to think that he ought to hoist the op
position colors at once, and join a radi
cal club or the grand army of the re’
public. To us the letter is most wel
coma. It shows an appreciation of the
situation that augurs better things to
come. It is very significant, emanating
from one of so large a following in the
State, and one who, with Mr. Stephens,
heads the independent movement in the
south. These men have more than half
tho democrats of Georgia at their backs.
They will soon have more than half of
the whites throughout the south, under
their banners. While the organized
democrats are talking of making Grant
their candidate, the better portion of
the party, under the lead of these two
distinguished Georgians, may see that
it is wisdom on their pai t to support
John Sherman, or some other adminis
tration candidate, who represents the
very best element, the reform and pro
gressive element of the republican
party. Felton’s utterances we are fain
to believe are sincere. He means busi
ness. And he is going to fight it out
on the line adopted.
Feeble Ladies.
Those languid, tiresome sensations, caus
ing you to feel scarcely able to be on your
feet; that constant drain that is taking from
your system all its elasticity; that continual
strain upon your vital forces, rendering you
irritable aud fretful, can easily be removed
by the use of that marvelous remedy, Hop
Bitters. Irregularities and obstructions of
your system are relieved at once, while the
special cause of periodical pain is perma
nently removed. Will you heed this ?

During the coming year —a year that will witness the progress and
culmination of the most interesting political contest that has ever taken
place in this country —every citizen will be compelled to rely upon the
newspapers for information. Anticipating the wide-spread desire for the
fullest information, the publishers of the Eagle have perfected arrange
ments for making it a more complete newspaper than ever before, and io
present to the people of Northeast Georgia everything of interest trans
piring in the State, the Union, and foreign lands.
As a newspaper, the Eagle will endeavor to give the cream of everything
in that shape which may enable its readers to keep fully informed of current
evdh's with the least possible expenditure of time.
Asa home and fireside journal, its litearry matter will be in the future as
in the past selected from the very best sources, puYe and chaste, and worthy
a place at the fireside of every home within the range of its circulation.
As a political journal, it will be unqualifiedly and uncompromisingly
Democratic. Believing in the eventual triumph of the principles of that
partv, it will uphold and defend it in season and out of season until it shall
cease to make them its rule of action. A competent and experienced
Washington correspondent will keep our readers fully posted as to affairs at
the nation’s capital.
In State no less than in national or foreign affairs our readers will be
kept posted on everything worth knowing. Our State News department
will be carefully edited, full and reliable.
The Agricultural department will likewise receive due attention, and the
farmer and housewife will always] find something of interest, instruction
and profit.
To sum up, it will be a first-class family, political, agricultural and news
journal, and will be brighter and better than ever before, discussing tersely,
vigorously and seasonably all matters of interest to the public.
