Death of Rev. E. 11. Jl> era.
\\ c arc called upon to chronicle
the death of the Rev. E. 11. Mvres
Pastor of Trinity M. E. Church,
who fell a victim to the prevailing
epidemic yesterday morning at sev
en o’clock.
The blow falls with a crushing
lorcc upon the whole community
and more especially upon the mem
bership of the church whoso much
loved pastor lie was. When the
fever broke out Dr. Myers was at
Cape May asCbairraau of the com
mission then in session with their
Northern brethren, engaged in ad-*
justing the difficulties between tbe
Northern and Southern branches
of the M. E. Church. This labor
having been successfully accom
plished he was left in charge of the
work of publication of the minutes
of tbe conference. But when not
ified of the ravages of the epidemic
in our midst he at once returned to
his charge in Savannah and nobly
engaged in bis work of love until
one week ago when he became
stricken with fever which termina
ted as above stated.
Dr. Myres was one of the prom
inent ministers of the Methodis
Episcopal Church South and his
reputation was national. For the
past thirty years he has faithfully
served the church and his fellow
beings occupying high positions,
for which his piety and talents fit -1
ted him. In the itineracy-as editor
of the Southern Christian Advoc
ate as, President of the Weslyan
Female College at Macon, and as
Chairman of the commission of the
Soutnern Church at the recent com.
vention-he filled all the measure of
his duties and all the sacred trusts
committed to his care; hut espec
ially as a postor in our city was he
known and loved. We close this
necessarily brief notice with the
following from one with whom he
has labored in Christian miuistra
ion during this terrible visitation
of sickness and death :
One more victory gained under
the Captain of our salvation, who
for his people hath abolished death,
one more good and faithful servant
welcomed into the joy of his Lord ;
one more of the adopted gone up
leaning on the arm of the “only be
gotten,” to enter oil the pledged in
heritance ; one more voice to swell
the redemption song. “Unto him
that loved us and washed us from
our sins in His own blood,and hath
made us kings and priest unto God
and his Father; to Him be glory
and dominion forever and ever.
Amen.”
Translated brother, we wish thee
joy!—N'au. Neics.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING AND PESTI
TUTION.
[From the Augusta ('lironele and Sentinel of
Tuesday.
The following letter received
here yesterday from a distinguished
physician of Brunswick, shows the
terrible condition of the peopie in
that city:
Brunswick,Ga., Sept. 21, 76.
l)r. S. G. Eve :
Dear Doctor —You are aware
of the existence of yellow lever in
Brunswick from my dispatch call**
ing for medical aid and nurses, but
you have no idea of the fearful or
deal through which we are passing.
I regret to say that our calls for
help in all directions have met
with the same sad fate as our call
upon Augusta. I have determined
to write you a few lines to ac
quaint you with the fearful condi
tion ol our people, and to request
you to publish an appeal for help
in one of your city papers. Upon
the announcement of the fact that
yellow fever was in existence in
our midst, for the first time in the
history of Brunswick, the people
were, of course, panic-stricken and
began to setter in every direction.
Afraid of being quarantined in ev
ery city and town, they have prin
cipally located along the lines of
railroad leading from this city, and
many ol them have been stricken
with the disease since leaving town
in places where they cannot procure
medical attention. ' 1 am constantly
receiving calls in the country that
I cannot attend. This is bad, but
does not compare with the fright
ful condition of affairs in the city.
Our medical force is entirely ineffi
cient to give attendance to the sick,
and nurses are not to be had on
any terms. In fact, there are not
enough persons well to wait on the
sick; consequently our people are
absolutely dying for the want of
medical aid and proper nursing. 1
will give you a few days of my ex
perience in order that you may be
aware of our true condition. I
have had the disease, and have on
ly about ten days out
of bed, which time since
1 have been going incessantly day
and n ght, with little or no sleep.
Every adult member ol my family
is down with the fever ; five cases
in my house and no nurse to be
THOMASTON, DA.. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 7. 1876
had. My sister, who has just
covered and is barely able to get
about, with the assistance of the
children manages to get through
the day. Yesterday I attended
between sixty and and seventy cas"
eg, came in about twelve o’clock at
night and alone nursed my family
until morning. Have "attended
over fifty cases to-day and am go
ing through the same ordeal to
night. How long I shall be abb
to endure the mental and physical
strain, God alone knows. My ex
perience is about the experience of
all others. I have visited families
where there was not a single mems
ber up ; dependent entirely upon
wh at negro help can be procured.
This you are aware makes the
chance of recovery extremely
doubtful. In addition to other
ills, our supply of medicines and
nourishment is almost entirely ex
hausted. We are quarantined in
such a manner that supplies have
failed to reach ua from New York.
Vessels will not come in and we
have been able to procure but very
little from the interior. There is
to night a single ounce of quinine
in the place, aud not a box of mus
tard to be had. Of course, other
needed articles are as scarce. Food
for the sick is about as scarce as
medicine. There has not been a
pound of fresh beef in town for
several days, and not a single
ounce of Liebig’s Extract. I have
just been compelled to refuse to
yisit two sick children because I
have no one to leave in charge of
my sick family. Two physicians
except myself, are all that are able
to get around. I will uot numer
ate other grievances for fear you
may think I am complaining which
is not my intention.
Thanks for your courtesy in an
swering my dispatch. I have writ
ten hastily and without intention
to write more than a few lines. It
has served to keep my eyes open,
hence you will excuse my trespass
upon your time.
Yours fraternally,
James S. Blain, M. D.

Marion, S. C., September 22.
Simon Crawford, a negro of violent
Radical proclivities, has of late
been causing much trouble and un
easiness in his neighborhood (five
miles above Marion) by threaten
ing the lives and property of the
white people. The apprehensions
excited by his violent behavior
were intensified by the report that
he had organized an armed band of
negroes for predatory purposes. —
The colored people around him
were demoralized by bis example,
the more peaceably disposed ones
being held in awe by tbe boisterous
demeanor of his supporters. Last
Saturday evening- a party of gen
tlemen visited Simon —or “Sime,”
as he is usually called-for tbe pur
pose of remonstrating against his
mischevious behavior. I am as
sured that the caution was friendly
in tone and administered with the
best intentions, but the affect was
directly the reverse of what was
designed. The visit of the gentle
men threw “Sime” into a terrible
rage, which soon found expression
in a series of violent performances,
the pretext for which he manufac
tured by boldly charging the visit
ing party with having robbed him
of a large sum of money. The
high character of these gentlemen
gave the lie, of course, to the infa*
mous accusation. The truth seems
to be that “Sime” was sadly in
want of some reason to satisfy cer
tain over-credulous colored men,
who deposited their money with
him, why he was unable to honor
their demand fin- payment. He
had, perhaps, misappropriated the
funds entrusted to him, and, like
■all defaulters, was anxious to cover
lip the true scent bv starting a false
one. His misled cogeners were
greatly excited, and showed an ea
gerness to avenge the wrong as
sumed by their faithless deposita
ry.
On mondav our community was
thrown into a lively state of excite
ment by the intelligence that
“Sime,” at the head of twentyfive
or thirty armed negroes, was ad
vancing upon the town with intent
to burn and slay without any dis
crimination in favor of those who
were not concerned in the Saturday
night visit. Our citizens rallied to
resist the threatened descent, and
during a few moments of anxious
expectancy the streets of our ordi
nary quiet village promised to be*-
come a scene of armed conflict.—
This catastrophe was happily aver=-
ted. The “party” leaders in town
dispatched a courier with orders
for the invaders to desist from so
perilous an undertaking as the cap
ture of Marion. Marion. “Sime”
and his followers came in with
their leader to interview a Trial
Justice. The story of “Sime’s”
wrongs was so utterly unfounded
that the Justice declined interfet
ing, and be was admonished to de
part in peace.
Instead of following the judicious
counsel of the magistrate, the isate
negroes,after returning to the coon
try, proceded to inaugurate a reign
of terror. Calling at the house of
one gentleman whom they did not
find at home, they gave his wife to
understand that it would not l>e
safe for him to reappear. Husbaad
and wife took the hint and forsook
their home. The house of another
gentleman, absent at the time, was
visited by the rioters, his yard dog
shot dead, aud his little sun abused
and threatened for remonstrating
with them. Other outrages and
indignities were committed, and a
panic took possession of the com
munity. Finally, peace warrants
were taken out for the arrest of the
cheif desperado. A special consta
ble failed to attempt to execute the
process of the law, and the sheriff
himself summoned a posse and set
out to make the arrest.
On Tuesday night the officer ap
proached “Sime’s” house, within
which the gang were secreted. A
charge was ordered, and a fight en
sued,resulting in the severe wound- )
ing of Mr. John LI. Berry, one of,
the posse, and the capture of two
negroes,the rest of whom scampered
off after discharing one volley. One
of the prisoners broke from the
guard and made good his escape
with a wound in his thigh. A shot
from the direction the fugitives had
takeken, evidently aimed at the
Sheriff, who was standing near,took
effect in the back of the other pris
oner, inflicting a wound of which
he has since died, llis name was
Archie Burnett, and he had a bad
character, being one of the boldest
and most zealous of “Sime’s” lieu
tenants. There is no doubt that
he was shot by some of his own
party. The darkness interfered
with the pursuit of the chief fugi
tive, and be is still at large, though
efforts have been made to affect his
capture. It is supposed lie lias
escaped out of the county. The
excitement attendant upon the af • |
fair has measurably sided. Mr.
Berry, the young gentleman who ;
was wounded, is doing well,though
suffering some pain. He was shot i
through the left shoulder.
A Voice 4 from the Colored Men
At the grand Tilden ratification
meeting at Albany Thursday night
Andrew J. Chambers, a colored [
man from Arkansas, was one of the
speakers. The following is an ab
stract of his remarks :
“He said the South wanted a
change. The intelligent thinking
negroes of the South wanted a
change ; every poor working man
wanted a change. What he said
for his own race was, that the Re
publican party had long enough
made capital out of the colored
man. In the south they began to
understand it. The truth of the
political situation was dawning up
on them at last. The carpet bagger
and his government had been to
them a greater curse than the pests
of Egypt. The colored man wan
ted no more of that side. Their
true friends in the South were the
Southern white men, and not the
Northern Carpet baggers who had
followed the army as sultres and
hangers'-on. There was no real
antagonism between the Southern
white men and the negroes. All
they wanted was to be let alone by
the carpet-baggers and politicians,
and the whites and blacks of the
South would work out their desti
ny together. The white race were
God,s chariot of fire conveying civ
ilization and Christianity to the
world, and the intelligent and black
race were ready and anxious to
link their destiny with them.
They did not want antagonism.
They wanted harmony; they wan
ted unity. Since the Democrats
carried Arkansas not a negro had
been murdered. AV r hat the Repub
licans wanted was Southern outra
ges. They could make capital at
the North out of the murder of
Southern negroes. But the whites
and blacks of the South courted no
such calamities. In states where
the Democrats had gained control
in the Sonth there was peace and
concord between the races —there
was no war. He wanted liberty
for all. He did not want the coer
cion of Cameron’s order to Taft’s
instruction. He was for "home
rule,’ —local self gevernmant. lie
knew of one society that was swin
dled out of seventeenhundred dol
lars by the failure of the Freeds
man’s Saving Bank. The 1‘ reed
man’s Bureau was another swin
dle, and he was grateful for vetoing
it. He was for Samuel J. Tilden.
Whatever New York or the North
might say, the South had seen
enough of the Republican party,
and they wanted a change and
Samuel J. Tilden for President.

Reform is neeessarv even more

Money Wisely Spent.
TWO STATES THAT HAVE ADDED TO
ATTRACTIONS OF THE CENTEN
NIAL SHOW.
Philadelphia, Sept. 17.—A
majority of the Slate Legislatures
made appropriations for Centennial
purposes, without fixing upon any
manner in which the money should
he spent, and the State Commission
ers simply built handsome houses
called ’’State Headquarters.“ these
provide a public parlor and reading
room, where the newspapers of the
State are on file, an office for the
commissioners, and private apart
ments up stairs for a few friends
and their families. These houses
cost from $3,000 to SIO,OOO each
Find the chief use they arc put to is
to provide elegant summer resorts
for a few belonging to the State
Commissioners and their particular
friends. In some of these buildings
wine and liquors aae in abundance;
but the common citizen of the State
is not invited to partake, and tiie
advanage to the State is extremely
small. The total cost of these build
ings has been not less than $l5O,
000, which may be considered as
almost wholly thrown away.
A few States, however have ex
pended their money wisely. Arkans
sas and West Virginia have neat
structures, in which they show a
great variety of agricultural and
mineral products also of manufac
tures and statistics of schools and
education attracting a great many
people. But Kansas and Colorado
with a united appropriation of $39,
000 have built a large structure,
in which a vast range of products
and objects of interest are displayed
Kansas shows an immense collect
ion of grapes and cereals in almost
every possible variety of growth
and preparation, and the arrange -
ment is more artistic and tasteful
than is to bo found anywhere else
within the grounds. The exhibit
of apples is astonishing for size,
color aad quantity; and a pyramid
of this frnit, supported by glass
cylinders filled with grain attracts
every eye. The State managers
including the officers of the State
Agricultural Society, have all along
shown themselves experts in call
ing attention to the resources of
the State; and a large volume,hand
somely printed and Dound, is de
clared' by competent judges to be
a model for tbe arrangement of its
statistics, and for the illustration of
elimate soil and productions.
Colorado’s exhibits are largely
of silver, gold and lead ore, and of
coal- Of the latter there is a single
block from the Southern part of the
State weighing seven tons. It is
said that it makes excellent coke.
Hitherto vast quantities of coke
have been shipped from Pittsburgh
to the mines of Utah and Colorado
but now this coal field will furnish
the supply. Tbe money value of
gold and silver ores is about $25
000, and several mines which have
yielded from $1,000,000 to SB,OOO,
000, are represented. The total an -
nual production of the mines of
this State is now about $3,000,000
The principal school buildings of
the S<ate are presented in photo
graphs: one building in Denver
haviug cost $75,000 one in Pueblo
§13,000 one in Greeley $30,000,
and there are handsomely bound
volumes showing the progress of
pupils. The agricultural products
are not large but fair specimens of
j this years crop arc on the way.—
Samples of the wheat grown ou 8,-
I 000 acres at Greeley, by irriga
! non, show some of the best giain in
the Exhibition. In addition is a
j collection of ail the auimals and
j birds of Colorado, prepared by Mrs
Maxwell; in fact she herself killed
| many of them including a bear and

t roKsing for Improvement of
Common Sheep.
A correspondeut asks us the fol
lowing question : “What is the
best cross upon our common sheep
for quality and vuantity of wool,
for the general market, and for
weight of carcass V ’
This inquiry can he replied to
from so many standpoiuts, that an
opinion in favor of either of the re
coguized breeds requires certain ex
planations. A cross of the long
wool—say Cottswold, Leicester, or
Lincoln —will insure an increase
of carcass to nearly or quite double
the value of the common, or native
dam. The fleece will have addL
tional length, considerable improve
ment in style, and a perceptible in*
crease in weight. The improve
ment in length and lustre will add
to its market value.
A cross middle wool, say South
down Shropshire, Ac., will add
greatly to the quality of the meat
somewhat less, though considerable,
to its quantity, will thicken some
what the fleece, and give it slight
additional weight, without adding
much to its value per pound.
A cross of the American merino
will make a marked improvement
in fleece, adding to all its desirable
characteristics, except that of
length. The weight, in many in
stances, will be doubled, while in
any other than an anomalous con
dition of the market, the value per
pound will be somewhat increased.
The size cf carcass will not be in
creased, though its compactness and
aymmmetry of outline will be great*
ly improved.
With the average farmer the
more satisfactory results will be se
cured by a cross with the long
wool breed or the fine wools. The
one will show its chief improve*
ment in the carcass, the other in the
fleece, though the merits of neither
will be confined to these prominent
characteristics.
Asa rule, the least satisfactory
results will be deprived from a
cross with the “Downs’ 7 ; this not
from any defect in the breed, per
ss, but rather from a loss diversity
in size in the one and character of
fleece in the other. Sheep from
this cross may reasonably be
pectcd to withstand the hardships,
sometimes privations, incident to
the lot of the flock when compelled
to work its living off of the average
farm, with better results ] than
would be realized from a
cross simply treated—and, for
“roughing it, 74 would prove near*
ly equal to the results of the Meri?
no f-ross.
In view of these considerations,
added to some minor ones, that
may be classd as results of taste
rather than experienced as a gen
earl conclusion, we would advise a
cross of the merino in preference
to the others referred to—always
with the recommendation that the
best rams within reach of the flock
owners be used—and that none of
the male animals of the cross be
used as sires, no matter how near
the desired standard they may ap*
proach. —National Live Stock
Journal .
Judge Black, in his recent letter
to General Garfield, gives the fol*
following sharply outlined sketch
of Hayes ;
“You would have us believe that
Hayes, it*elected, will reform abuses
and give us, a pure administration.
Your statement, and that of other
gentlemen equally reliable, make it
certain that Air. Hayes bears an ir

MR. H R BTEPHENB ;
Dear Sir—We have good reasons tor ragandiiic:
your VEGETINI a medicine of the greatestealutf
We feel assured that it has been the means of sav
ing our son’s life. Hs is now seventeen yean of age
for the last two yean he has a altered from neerosi*
of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was
so far reduced that nearly all who saw him thought
his recovery impossible. A council of able physi
cians could give us but faint hopes of his ever ral
lying, two of the number declaring that he was be
yond the reach of human that even am
putation could not save him, as he had not vigor
enough to endure the operation. Just then we
ccomraenced giving him VEGETINE, and from
that time to th* present hs his been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies, throw a
away bis cruthee and cane, and walks about cheer
fully aud strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was lanced, we have the ful
lest confidence that in a little time he will ba per
fectly cured.
He has taken about three doaea bottles of VBDE
TINE, but lately usee but little, ae he declarm he is
too well to be taking medicine.
