NIWNAN, GEORGIA.
TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1887.
TILKBICTOBT.
Having sold my interest in the
Newnan Hebald to the Newnan
Publishing Company, my connec
tion with the paper ceases alter
this issue. Of the seventeen years
of my newspaper experience, near
ly seven have been devoted to the
Herald. While it best be
comes others to say whether or not
I have filled the measure of my du
ties and reapoosib’lities, I know
that those duties have been consci
entiously discharged and those re
sponsibilities met i0<he fear of God
and with a sincere desire -to ben
efit ray fellow men. If in the heat
of controversy or the excitement
of pending issues, ajght has been
said or done lo wound anyone, I sin
cerely regret it, and I retire trom
this position with the kindest feel
ings towards ail.
My successors possess the facilities
for making a better paper than I
have made and I doubt not all
readers will bo pleased and oenefit-
ed by the change, and l hereby be
speak for them your hearty support
and co-operation in the future.

A petition has been presented to
the Tennessee Legislature asking re
lief tor Mrs. Matilda Fields, the
youngest dau^ter of the famous
Davy Crocketvwho is represented
as being in want.
Notwithstanding denials of in
terested business men, most woeful
stories of distress, starvation and
death continue to be received from
both the western aud northern dis
tricts of Newfoundland.
Of these measures introduced, 4,178
were sent back from various
committees with favorable or ad
verse reports, and a majori
ty of them have died so far as hav
ing auy legislative status is
concerned. There were introduced
in the Senate 3,357 bills and 116
joint resolutions, and the per cent
reported from committees was
little higher than in the House.

Six boys, whose ages ranged from
twelve to fifteen years, were run
down and killed by a passenger train
on the Lehigh Valley road, near
Easton, Pa., Saturday afternoon.
The boys had just stepped from one
tracK to another to avoid a freight
train, and were struck by the pas
senger train coming in the opposite
direction.
The 'Senate has amended and
passed the House bill creating an
executive department to be known
as the Department of Agriculture
and Labor, with a Secretary and
Assistant Secretary, to be appointed
by the President, by and with the
consentof the Senate. The Bureau
of Labor and the weather service
Bureau are transferred to the new
department by the Senate amend
ments.
The President has nominated
James Munro Trotter, a colored
man of Boston, to be recorder of
deeds for the District of Columbia,
vice James C. Matthews, rejected
by the Senate. Trotter is a native
of Ohio, served iD a colored regi
ment in the late war and was pro
moted to a lieurenancy; was eigh
teen years in the Boston port-office,
and was discharged in 1884 on ac
count ot “offensive partisanship,”
which consisted in his support of
the Democratic Presidential ticket.
There is an organization in Atlan
ta self-styled “The Wild Cat Club”
They amuse themselves removing
gates off front yards, posting notic
es of warning in public places, in
forming some person that dire ven
geance will fall on him in case he
does certain things, assaulting bolat
ed pedestrians, etc. These notices
are written in a wretched scroll,orna
mented with skull and cross bones,
and signed “The Wild Cat Club.”
They keep quiet for weeks, then
sally again on a sories of raids.
The Republican legislators at Tren
ton, N.J., met Wednesday in caucus
to determine upon a Democrat for
whom they should vote for Senator
with the view to beating Gov. Ab
bott. They could not agree upon
ex-Gov. Bedle, nor Chancellor Run
yon, but selected Rufus Blodgett,
who is superintendent pf the New
York and Long Branch railroad.
On the first ballot in joint legisla
tive session Aboett received 39 and
Blodgett 39. On the second ballot
Blodgett received 41 votes, just
enough to elect him. He therefore
sueeedsSewell, a Republican.
Despite the fact that a very great
deal of time has been consumed in
useless debate, a review ot the
work done by the 49 th Congress,
which expired last Friday, discloses
the fact that much has been accom
plished in the wayof the enactment
of general 'ladrs. Never were there
so many bills introduced, and more
were reuorted from committees
than at any previous Congress.
More, too,-are left on the calendars
as blasted hopes than was ever
known at the expiration of a Con
gress. There were introduced in
House at Representatives during
the session just ended 11,259 bills
and 200 joint resolutions. The last
bill was introduced by Hr. Herbert,
of Alabama, and was for the pay
ment of a private claim, while the
last joint resolution was presented
by Timothy Campbell, of Brooklyn.
Probably the most extensive pri
vate land purchase ever made in
this country was consummated in
St. Louis a short time ago, and
within a few weeks all necessary
papers will be prepared and a for
mal claim for possession entered.
While Texas was still a province of
the Mexican-republic, a certain Dr.
Beales, an emigrant from England,
married a native of Mexico, became
a citizen, and desiring to form a
colony upon the frontier, obtained
from the Mexican government an
immense grant of land, consfsting
of 60,000,000 acres, known as the Ar
kansas grant, situated in what are
now the states of Texas|and Colora
do, and the territory of New Mexico
Just then the war lor Texan inde
pendence broke out, and Dr. Beales
found it impossible to establish his
colony. The grant was renewed,
however, and the treaty of Gauda
loupe Hidalgo being so framed ai
to protect those holding grants from
the Mexican government,Dr.Beales
retained possession of his land
Before he was able to carry out his
plan of forming a colony he died,
and the grant passed to his minor
children. They did not, however,
appreciate the value of the land,
and no partof.it has ever been sold.
Now a company of American capi
talists, Rufus Hatch being among
the number from the heirs, and will,
it is said, take possession thereof in
a short time. The grant covers a
district in north-western Texas,
north-eastern New Mexico and
south-eastern Colorado, embracing
in all more than sixty million acres,
hut |>rior grants will reduce this to
about fifty million. Those interest
ed in the purchase will not, at
present, make public the exact
boundaries.
Carroll D. Wright, commissioners
of labor, has submitted to the Secre
tary of tho Interior, iiis second an
nual report, which relates entirely
to convict labor. It says that the
prison population of 64,600 has a
proportion oi one in a thousand to
the population of the United States.
Whatever tompetition,which comes
from convictlaborin any form, must
come from this one convict in on?,
thousand of the population—not
the proportion to those engaged in
mechanical pursuits in the whole
country, which is about one convict
to every fifty persons so employed-
TheJUni'.ei Statesjorisoners included
in the above estimate number 1,240,
and they are distributed through the
different slates. The industry em
ploying the greatest number is that
of boots and shoes, the manufacture
of clothing standing next, then
stone-dressin /, then farming, gar
dening, furniture, mining, lumber
and carpentering in the order
named. The total product of all
penal institutions is fifty-four one-
hundredths of one per cent, of the
total production of the industries of
the country.
The report states that it is perfect
ly evident from information ob
tained that the competition arising
from the employment of convicts, as
lar as the whole country is concerned!
would not of itself constitute a ques
tion worthy of serious discussion-
However, locally and in certain
dustries,says the report, the corape
tition may be serious and of such
proportions as to claim the most se
rious attention of legislatures.
The commissioner concludes that
the system of hand labor, if intro
duced in the prisons, would reduce
competition with free labor to the
minimum.

the country would be taxed $150,-
1X10,000 annually for pensions for
many years to cone. That would
practically fix a debt upon the na
tion for pensions alone of $5,000,000,-
000, or more than the whole debt of
England, and double the largest
debt the Republic ever had during
the war.
General Warner, one of the most
gallant soldiers whoever sat in the
House, said in a speech on the de
pendent pension bill, that the first
costof the civil war was $3,350,000,000
That has been paid, and with it in
terest and pensions amounting to
about $3,300,000,000 more, and it will
require at least $3,300,000,000 addi- [
tional to pay the future charges of
interest, pensions,etc.
Taxation is now sorely oppressing
and crippling the productive indus- ,
tries of the country. The lesson of i
the whole civilized world is for j
cheapening production,and taxation ■
must bs diminished, not increased.'
The present surplus in the Treasury
would not put our coasts and harbors
in good defensible position, and ihe
next Congress will surely reduce
taxation and end surplus revenue,
as both parties are distinctly pledged
to it. Leaving out of view the at
tempt to pauperize our whole sol
diery as a dependent class, where is
the true soldier who can justify or
even excuse the passage of the de
pendent pension bill over the veto
of the .President ?

BLOOD TONIC
This great Blood Purifier was not
learned from a race of naked savages.
Tt is no “Indian Medicine,” but a scien
tific preparation, carefully compounded
from the very best Blood Tonics known
to the Medical Profession; nor is its
claim to public confidence based on the
wild incantations of wanderiug Gyp
sies, or the senseless mumblings of an
Indian squaw. It stands upon the ac
cumulated wisdom and research of nine
teen centuries. Since Moses proclaimed
that “The blood is the life,” the Medical
Profession, in all enlightened countries,
has studied, carefully, patiently and
laboriously the composition of the Blood,
its tendencies to disease, and the med
icines that make and keep it pure. The
Blood Tonic is no secret compound. Any
physician can see the formula. We on
ly claim for it the best known Blood
medicines carefully and scientifically
combined. For more than a quarter of
a century we . have prescribed it with
the most satisfactory results, and if
space permitted could furnish thous
ands 01testimonials. In the treatment
of Secondary Syphilis, Chronic Rheu
matism, Scrofula, Pimples, Old Sores.
Catarrh in the Head, Eczema, and all
impurities of the Blood, from whatever
cause arising, the Medical Profession
has never found a better medicine than
the Blood Tonic,
A UNIVERSAL NEED.
Nothing is more universally needed
than a safe and perfectly reliable Ver
mifuge—one that will never fail to ex
pel every worm. This is a universal
need, because all children are liable to
have worms. These loathsome para
sites are not confined to any class,
have no respect for wealth or position—
infesting alike the children of the Presi
dent and the dirty urchins of the Afri
can pauper.
The suffering and deaths they produce
are incalculable. Thousands of chil
dren suffer through days and months
and are dosed with all kinds of “drops’
and soothing syrups to no purpose. The
constant irritation kept up by worms
produces disorder ana derangement of
the entire digestive apparatus, making
the child fretful and irritable, and some
times causing fits.
Plain Truths About Pensions.
The Philadelphia Times says that
it is flippantly said than the present
charge upon the nation for pensions,
equal to the cost of supporting the
army ot either England, France or
Germany, will last but a few years.
The experience of the past is a con'
elusive answer to SHch inconsider
ate statements.
When the revolutionary war closed
it was believed that the pensions
would be but a small charge upon
the infant Republic and not con
tinue many years; but forty years
after the war had ended, when there
were not 20,000 of the revolutionary
veterans among the living, there
were 12,331, or more thau one-half
of all, on the pension list.
There were not over 150,000 sol
diers and sailors enlisted during the
second war with England, but fifty-
six jears after the close of the war
there were 59,868 on the pension list,
and over 20,000 of the survivors and
widows drew pensions last year,
seventy-one years after the war.
When the arrears pension bill was
passed during the administration of
President Hayes, it was insisted by
the advocates of the measure that it
would not cost over $25,000,000, and
Secretary Sherman, then at tha
head of the Treasury, was denounced
by the pension sharks and lobbyists
for officially stating his estimate of
the cost of *he bill at $100,000,000. It
has already cost $218,000,000, and it
is now admitted that it will cost
about $260,000,000 more to execute
it, or $474,000,000 in all.
The present tax upon the country
for pensions is over $75,000,000 a
year. With the Mexican pension bill
already passed and approved; the
dependent pension bill passed over
the President’s veto and the repeal
of the limitation for arrears of pen-
sipiu that would certainly follow.
Savannah’s Colored Copulation.
A very considerable portion of
the population of Savannah i- col
ored. What progress the colored
people have made, and what they
have done toward securing homes
since they began to look out for
themselves, can be easily seen by
visiting the city’s suburbs. For
years they have bjen quiet but per
sistent purchasers of real estate
Their settlements just encircle the
city. It must not be supposed that
all their houses are mere shanties
Some of them are quite pretentious,
and are surrounded by well kept
gardens.
These homes were not paid for in
a year or two, but represent the
proce?ds of years of patient toil and
tho most rigid economy. On
some of them there are still mort
gages, which there is not much doubt
will be paid in time. It is a fact
worth noticing that very few col
ored men fail to meet the payment
on their homes, and when they do
there is always a good cause for the
failure. And there is another fact
worth noticing. It is that they pay
their taxes willingly and return
their property above, rather than
below, its market value. They are
not yet sufficiently civilized to be
tax dodgers.—Savannah News.

anything we have ever seen, that in fu

store. We have been selling Worm
Medicines for quite a number of years,
and can say (as well as our customers
that your Worm Oil is more effectual
than anything we have ever sold.
Should you wish testimonials, we will

J. E. Simpson.

Sir:—My child, five years old, had
symptoms of worms. I tried calomel
and other Worm Mediciu6s, hut failed

tho first dose brought forty worms, and
the second dose so many were passed I
diii not count them. S. H. Adams.

A few nights since I gave my son one

passed sixteen large worms. At the
same time I gave one dose to my little
girl four years old, and she passed
eightv-six worms, from four to fifteen
inches long. W. F. Phillips.

The Worm Oil is perfectly harmless
and will remove every worm, when gi v-

feel assured that your child is not
wormy.
ONLY A QUARTER OF A DOLLAR.

Can be taken in powder, or in solu

A Letter from Judge
C. D. McCutcheon.
Dalton, Ga., March 15,1885
In anuary, 1876, I contracted
a very severe cough that lasted
for weeks, and finally became ac
companied with a pain in my
side. I could get no relief ex
cept from Calomel, but when I
would cease to use the Calomel
the cough and pain would return,
Thus it went on for some time,
when I was advised to try Smith’s
Liver Tonic. I did so, and it soon
effected a ermanent cure, and
the sympto s have never return
ed. Since that time I have kept
this Liver Tonic on hand, never
using it, however, except when
I felt some way out of order,
when I always used it with good
results. ;i regard it as the ve^l
best. Liver Medicine I know any- *
thing about. C. D. McCutcheon.
