JOURNALISM AND PEDAGOGUEING
MAKES SIBOO A YEAR, RETURNS
FOR SOCIETYS SAKE,IS INTERVIEW’D
AND SHOOTS THE REPORTER WITH
THE LONG BOW.
It will be remembered that du
litig lust .March Colonel S. 13. Spen
cer, exMnayor 0 f Atlanta, packed
up his effects and moved out to Tex
as. On last Monday he returned to
Atlanta without his effects.
His story of Texas life is a rich
one. lie certainly realized, while
out there, the yearnings of that
poor fellow who ran away from his
father to go to Texas, and after be
ing there a year or so, telegraphed
back, “Prepare the fatted calf for
me.”
Colonel Spencer is a man of fine
abilities, undoubted talent, tireless
energy and unblemished character.
No man was better calculated to give
Texas and its vast outcome a fair
trial than lie. Ilis words are con
sequently of practical importance,
and may be called fitting “apples of
gold in pictures of silver.” We
found the distinguished returned
reclining on avouch in his room. A
box of pills sat near.
Colonel, can you give me for pub
lication some reason why a Georgian
should not emigrate to Texas ?“
“Well, sir,” replied the colonel,
with that grim humor that is his
characteristic, “Ido not know that
I could give you a better reason
than I furnish myself. Look at me.
Here’s a good reason for not leaving
Georgia for Texas.”
“You had better luck out there,
didn’t you ?”
“Yes, sir, I did. 1 reminded
myself of the fellow who went to
Calafornia to make a fortune digging
gold, and wound up by washing
clothes for the miners until lie had
scooped enough money to bring him
home. I didn’t do quite that badly.
1 went to Texas to practice law with
a good firm. Both of the partners
were invalids. I soon found that
the business, while large, was a
great deal of it criminal and pauper
business. The best run of work
was the practice among the cattle
drovers of the western countries.
These were called “c-ow boys” and
good patrons. But it was the wild
est circuit that ever a man rode. It
would take you a month to reach
your court, and your life was in
perpetual danger. If you pressed a
prosecution against some fellow he
would shoot you, or if ho didn’t
want to do it himself, might have it
done for $5 by some dirty and un
disiinguishable Mexican. I felt
that it was mot the sort of a business
that a man at my time of life should
build up. Consequently I gave it
up. I went to San Antonio and
thought 1 would try it there. I
commenced editing a daily paper,
and was doing very well, when I
found that the depressing, enerva
ting climate was killing my wife.
In that city there is actually ten
months of summer every year. It
just takes all the energy out of a
man. While there I met a friend,
who had been to school to me in
southwestern Georgia. And he told
me if I would go to Dallas 1 could
get a good school. I want to Dallas,
and soon had a school that would
have paid about SI,BOO a ytar, but I
found everything so un etth-d that 1
determined to come back to Georgia,
And here I am, heartily home-sick,
and determined never to play truant
to this great old state again. ’
“What are the advantages that
Georgia has over Texas?”
Why, nearly every advantage. In
the first place, let me tell you this.
When a man finds it hard to get
along at his own home, lie fancies
that lie is suffering from the effects
of a local depression, and that if he
were elsewhere he wool 1 do a fine
business. He forgets that tie same
depression exists everywhere, and
that a man has to scratch like the
mischief for a living, no matter
where he is.
“Now when he’gocs to T- xas it is
generally in response to the tlcsire to
ofo and “grow up with the country.
This is all folly. He will find when
he gets there that he is in a misera
ble society. It is chaotic, uncertain,
shifting and transient. Instead of
meeting with a warm leception, he
tinds that he is looked on with a
sort of suspicion, and simply because
he is one of a host of strangers Unit
Lave come into the state from every
where, many of them the worst of
adventurers, and most of them with
out conclusive credentials. This
spirit of social and business distrust
pervades nearly every town in Texas,
and naturally, too, because there no
man knows who is his neignboi, or
where he came from, or what his
character is. Everything is loosly
thrown together.
“You can hardly imagine how
this spirit of suspicion weighs a
stranger down, and keeps him back
in his business. It is a terrible load
to struggle against. The same
amount of work, put to any sort ot
business in Georgia, will give much
better results than it would in Texas.
lam certain of this. Youthen have
the advantage of better society, and
all the social comforts here.”
“Is Texas a better country for a
young man than Georgia ?”
“It is not. In the first place, the
most of the young men who want
to go there have little or no capital.
They consequently desire to get
work as soon as they get there. To
do this is almost totally impossible.
The ttate is simply overrun with
THOMASTON, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2, 1878.
} 7 oung men desirous of obtaining
w° r k. Y r ou never saw anything like
it, They can get literally nothing
to do. It may be possible to get a
job on a farm, but I tell you the
man who tries to work as'a farm
hand out there will find his muscles
tested to the utmost. The most of
the plowing is done there with two
horse plows—oftener four horses
than one. The plow itself is a huge
eighteen inch affair and it cuts a fur
row like a gully. It is a tremendous
task to follow one of these plows for
a day. One of the plows we use
here couldn't be pulled a foot through
that marshy soil out there.
“No, sir; a young man had a
thousand times stay in Georgia than
go to Texas. If lie has capital he
can use it much more safely, and
quite as profitably here, as there. If
lie has not and desires to get work,
his chances for a job are a dozen
here to one out there.”
“Is Georgia a better farming
country than Texas ?” It is not so
rich, but it is much more safer. A
man will sometimes make as much
in one year in Texas as he can make
in three years here, but in the ag
gregate of ten year’s work he would
make more in Georgia than he would
make in Texas.
“The soil there is wonderfully
rich. It is six feet deep, and is very
fertile. A sack of guano is a curios
ity out there. It is hardly ever used.
But this rich soil Is uncertain as
arable land. If there is the slight
est drouth it toughens so that you
can’t work it. If it happens to be
a little rainy it gets so boggy that it
would swallow a saddle-blanket.
For instance, I know a man who
last year made twenty bales of cot
ton on twenty-five acres.
“This year on the same land he
had a good crop and on Saturday
came in town to get hands to gather
it. It commenced raining and
blowing on Sunday, and hegothard
lv a bale of storm cotton from the
whole twenty-five acres. If you
miss a hair’s-breath in either direct
ion you will become a bankrupt. As
an evidence of the uncertainty of
the crops, I will say that when I
went out there, corn* was a drug on
the market at twenty to twenty-five
cents a bushel. Now it is worth
seventy cents a bushel in Dallas —
more than it is worth here I believe.
“These sudden changes make ev
erything out there uncertain and
feverish. There is nothing settled
and safe. It is a place that a mai
with a family and respectably—
should certainly avoid.”
“Is living cheaper here than there?”
“Yes sir: I find that I can board
my family here cheaper than I can
out there, and at the same time get
better fare and accommodation; out
there, there are so many strangers
that everything is pitched at tran
sient rate, and it is consequently
cheaper here.”
Just as we started to leave, Coio
! nel Spencer stopped us and said:
“1 have nothing personally to say
against Texas. I was treated kindly
there, and made a great many warm
friends. There are many pleasant
associations connected with Texas,
and I should have liked very much
to have made it iny home.
“But I oave it a fair trial. It
failed in all the essential elements of
a home, and I felt it to be my duty
to warn my friends and the public
in general against making the mis
take that has proved so disastrous
to me.
“If you had seen what I have seen,
you would raadily perceive the ne
cessity for making some efforts to
stop the enormous tide of immigra*
tion that is flowing towards Texas.
L never dreamed that it was half so
serious. All through northern
Texas the trains are literally jamm
ed with immigrants pouring into the
state. They are full, the aisles of
the cars are packed, and children
are pinned in between the seats. I
have seen, since 1 left here, hun
dreds of such trains. The immi
grants are, most of them, the poors
est of people, having barely enough
money with which to reach their
destination. I have seen mothers
sick and fainting, with a half-dozen
hungry, crying children with them,
and husbands, depressed and dis
couraged, and not a week’s living
assured them after they had ridden
out-their ticket. My heart always
bled for those people. Nineteenths
of them that stay in Texas do so be
cause they have not the money to
aet home on, and eke out a miserable
existence—away from home and
friends and kindred—despondent and
almost helpless. In Dallas, Sun
day two weeks, I saw a train of
thirty-two wagons file into the town.
The occupants were in good spirit,
and were going further west. By a
wonderful mischance, they metabout
fifteen wagons of immigrants going
back to Missouri. They would lis
ten to nothing, however, but push
ed on ahead.”
Colonel Spencer was very earnest
in his remarks, and said: "W bile I
am going to do my very best to
keep people in Georgia, it is a
o-reat, and often a fatal mistake, for
a man to try Texas as a remedy
against hard times at home.
°Colonel Spencer is now at home
for all time. He will never leave
Atlanta again. He says he is satis
fied that it is the best city in Ameri
ca, and he intends to go to work
and build up his shattered fortunes
right here.
We are heartily glad to welcome
Colonel Spencer back, llis energy
and ab’lity won him a host of adini
iers here, and he is certain to achie\e
a success.
The Ve; Dili a Solid South.
[Washington Union. 1
lhere was a full audience of col
ored people, with a fair sprinkling of
white men, at the Second Baptist
Church last evening to hear John
Millis Menard give his views on the
present and future status of the ne*
groin the South. The effect of
the President’s Southern Policy re
ceived a laige share of the speaker’s
attention. He said that the ulti
mate adju&tment of the social and
l*olitical status of the negro is a
problem which time, aided by the
enlightment of populai education,
alone can solve. The failure of le
construction he regarded as an ad
mitted fact, but says that the time
is near at hand when
THE STORY OF THE NEGRO’S WRONGS
will become stale, and he will be
expected, like other men, to hoe
his own row in the great stuggle of
hie. 1 lie idea that the negio race
is doomed to extinction he corn
patted by reference to the last cen
sus, where it is shown that their
increase in the decade of 18G0 to 1870
was 328,000 in the old slave States
alone.
1 he “solidity” of the South is, in
his opinion, merely temporary; it
may last till the next Presidential
election, yet the various indepen
dent political movements, and the
recent success of the independent
candidates in Georgia obtained m
every case by negro votes, indicates
an early break in this solidity. He
thinks it absurd to expect a whole
race of people to maintain one set of
political opinions. This may’ have
been necessary’ during the period of
reconstruction for self-protection,
but now with the necessary will pass
away the fact.
It is best, said he, that the negro
should be no longer considered an
issue in American politics, and the
sooner his rights and wrongs are
taken out of the party platforms and
political discussions,
THE BETTER IT WILL BE FOR HIM.
The best policy, lie thinks, is to
seek such local political alliances as
are favorable to a wide-spread sys
tem of internal improvements at the
South by r the Federal government.
The fact of the negro race being one
of laborers, seeking employment, and
that the supply Df labor at the South
is far an excess of the demand
makes a very vital question to them.
The negro would reap his share of
the prosperity following Hie advent
T orthern capital, which is being
vn South by the establishment of
sate and responsible State govern
ments. Increased enterprises and
educational facilities are necessary to
prevent the ballot being
AN ELEMENT OF WEAKNESS
to the colored race.
Another point which the lecturer
dwelt on was the effect of troops at
the South on the condition of the
negro, lie said that not only were
these hostiles to the negro, but pro
voked from the whites, we felt that
the troops were used to maintain the
negro in power over them. He
thought no additional evidence was
needed to show that the Republican
State governments had been unable
to protect the negro, who has little,
if any, cause to regret the withdraw
al of troops from the South.
Among the means for ameliora
ting the condition of the lower class
es of Southern negroes he advised.
A MIGRATION WEST AND SOUTHWEST,
and also the negro republics of llay
ti and Liberia. The negro must
work out his own salvation, and not
depend on any political party to do
it for him; he has been played long
enough as trumps in the political
game, aud it is high time for anew
deal.
The Southern policy of the Ad
ministration is, he thinks,only a wise
and timely anticipation of an end
made inyi table by public opinion,
and the urgent necessities of the
country. He only follows the logic
of events as they had commenced to
shape themselves at the close of
Grant’s administration, and which
lie had really inaugurated in with
drawing the troops from Mississippi
and Arkansas.
In conclusion, he said the condi
tion of his race would, indeed, be
deplorable if they had not faith in
the ultimate triumph of liberty and
justice, quoting the beautiful lines of
Lowell :
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth ;
They must upward still, and onward,
Who would keep abreast of Truth..
It is now an acknowledged fact that con
sumption can be cured. It has been cured
in a very great number of cases (some of
them apparently desperate ones) by
Schenck's pulmonic syrup alone, and in
others by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills, one or l>oth, according to the
requirements of the case.
The old supposition that “Consumption
is incurable’ ’ for many years deterred
Physicians from attempting to find any
remedy for that disease, and patients af
flicted'with it reconciled themselves to
death without an effort being made to
save sheui from a doom which was con
sidered inevitable.
Dr. Sckenek himself was supposed at
one time to be at the very gate of death,
his Physicians having pronounced the case
hopeless and abandoned him to his fate;
he was cured by the aforesaid medicines
and afterward enjoyed uninterupted good
health for more than forty years. Thous
ands of paople have used Dr. Schenck's
preparations with the same remarkable
SUCCCBS.

oughtreatisc on Consumption, Liver Com

The Returning Board.
The Lonis.ana Returning Board,
arraigned some days since before the
bar of the Superior Court* to answer
to the charge of forgery,*their At
torneys mu le every effort to have
their ca?w transferred to the United
States Circuit Couifc. Ti:e Judge
overruled the motion to transfer
their cases, aud called their names
for trial, but they did not respond.
A capias was issued for each of them
and the sheriff and his deputies,
hunted the city over without find
ing them. They were hiddeu in
the Custom House, and their names
as you will remember are Wells,
Anderson, Cassanave, and Kenner.
When the Sheriff applied at the Col
lector’s office, which was locked, he
and his deputies were arrested, by
the Lnited States Marshal, and ta
ken befoie Judge Billings, of the
United States District Court, who
refused to have anything to do with
the case. They were then taken
before In ited States Commissioner.
Lane who was a Clerk of the Re
turning Board, and an affidavit was
made to the effect that tne Sheriff and
his deputies attempted to enter and
forcibly destroy Government prop
erty. This affidavit was made by
Deputy Collector Tomlinson, wh 0
should be kicked out of the service
of the Luitcd States before lie could
breathe three times. His infamy,
in attempting to shield the Return
ers from justice is great ami should
be punished. But the Sheriff and
his deputies were released. The
Custom House was placed under the
Guard of the United States marines
—two at the head of the main stair
way, two or three in front of Ander
son’s office, where he, Wells and the
other two were hidden f and one or
two more in the hall in front of
wells’ office. The marines remainep
on guard until night as a posse,
when they were withdrawn.
The action on the part of the
United States authorities, especially
District Attorney Lacey and the
Marshal, has most certainly brought
on a conflict legal, at all events, be
tween the State and Federal authori
ties, and it will yet wind itself into
a snarl that Hayes himself can not
unravel, unless he through the Unit
ed States Attorney-General, sits
down on the United States District
Attorney and United States Marshal
at once. Attorney General Ogden
is in earnest in his prosecution of the
Returns, and to see what the Wash
ington authorities will have to say,
he has sent a telegram to the United
States Attorney-General, ' relating
tne facts as shown, and asking if the
Federal Government has authorized
or will sanction this conduct. The
United States Marshal and United
States District Attorney have also
telegraphed for instructions, they
claiming that the Returning Board
has sought refuge in the Custom
house, on the theory that it is out
side of the jurisdiction of the State,
being Federal territory, and that the
State authorities serve a
process of any description therein,
or even arrest a criminal therein.
In this they will be found to have
taken the wrong view, as, when the
State ceded the ground on which
the Custom-house stands, it did not
cede the power to the government to
make it a refuge for criminals, else
a man might commit a nuisance in
the] streets in front of the building
and run inside and be free from arrest
by the State.
It is probable that Anderson and
his friends have determined to do
what they can to help the Blaine fac
tion in putting Hayes on the record
for or against the Returning Board.
It was said to-day that while in
Warhnigtou Wells was told by Hayes
that the High Joint Commission was
a higher power than the Louisiana
Returning Board, once that when
Wells tried the bull-dozing game on
the President it didn’t win; and now
comes another little game to get he
State and Federal authorities at log
gerheads through their own action
with L'nited States officials. Ander
son is a Speical Treasuary Agent and
Special Deputy Collector and Wells
is Surveyor of the Port. They are
all in the Collector’s office to-night
with a few Deputy United States
Marshals outside in the corridor and
at the front door, and near the latter
stand a few Deputy Sheriffs, ready
to gobble them should they come out
during the night.
Judge Neal of the county court
of McDufie county held that a Home
stead could not be taken on property
after a bill of sale had been given and
the porperty deliverd, even though
the transaction might seem a security
for supplies.
(•ortfon and Hill.
As Georgia is represented by two
senators in the National Legislature
and they assume opposite positions
on the Silver Bill, in order that tiieir
constituents may know their respee
tve positions, we give the following
as the substance of oppinions express
ed by tlum in the United States Sen-
ate:
In the Senate Mr. Gordon, of Geor
gia, said he might have something to
say when the silver b.il should come
before the Senate. He would vote
for the preamble and resolution of
the Senate from Ohio, because lie l*e
lieved the recital of the tacts contain
ed therein was true, and the resolu
tion suggested a policy which he be
lieved to be honest, wbe and just.
1 here was one thing, however, he de
sired to say, and that was lie feared
the country was being led to expect
too much from the remonetization of
silver. He cautioned the people of
the country against such expectation-,
because they would be disappointed.
It was light to remonetize silver, but
it could not gi\e the relief the people
expected. The eyils under which the
country now suffered, in iiis judge
ment, resulted from a long series of
enactments, and false financial system.
Incidentally the remonetization of di
ver would give some relict by cheek
ing that pernicious system of contrac
tion which has eyer and will always
destroy the prosperity of any country.
There was another good reason for
the remonetization of silver. It
would give the distressed people of the
country some hope, and that was no
small matter to him. It would enco
urage the people to believe that at’
last their representatives here lir.d
determined to call a halt in the sys
tem of legislation which provided for
class and not for the masses
Mr. Hill slid he could not vote for
tho resolution, because it affirmed
that the debts of the United States
to-day were payable in silver dol
lars when there were no silver dollars.
They had been destroyed by the gov
ernment, and how could silver dollars
be paid when the debtors had strick
en them from the coinage of the coun
try. There wvs mother question.
He believed that the proper remone
tization ot silver would be a gi eat ad
vantage to the people of the country
at this time. An improper restoration
of tho silver dollar to the coinage of
the country would result in evil.
It would absolutely impoverish the
already poor and hungry, the already
starving. It the silver dollar could
be remonetized in any way to make
it equal to the gold dollar, a good
thing would be done for the country.
He believed silver could be made
equal in value to gold in three ways;
fust, by increasing its weight; second
by limiting its coinage and third, by
limiting its legal tender power. He
believed it would be one of the great
est mistakes ever made by the Amer
ican Congiess, to pass the pending
silver bill. He would not vote to
coin a silver dollar and again throw
upon the country a depreciated dol
lar that cheated everything that tou
ched it
Senator Gordon voted for the
Matthews resolution which passed
by 43 to 22. Senator Hill was pair
ed with Gariield and did not vote,
but had he not been paired he would
have voted against the resolution.

The Ibi-tmi W ar.
for two weeks we have anxiously
sought the telegraphic news, thiusing
every day to learn the terms of the
armistice. A Reuters dispatch frein
Constantinople, of January the 25th
says:
The Poite yesterday accepted the
Russian conditions. Peace is regard
ed as virtually concluded. The Rus
sian conditions are not yet officially
known here, but it appears certain
that they greatly exreed the conf r
euce programme, and stipulate both
for territorial concisions and the
(lavmcnr of a war mdemni'y.
The Daily Telegraj h, in a seeon l
edition, prints the following from
Constantinople The Turkish dele
gates have been ordered to sign peace
preliminaries, and an armistice wi.l
probably be concluded t\'-day.
The i*eaee conditions are stated on
excellent authority to include the
following: Servia i> to lie iudepemßut
without compensation; Moutenegio is
to receive Aiuivari, Nicsic ami .-pi/,
and a portion of the territory border
ing on Lake Scuterb Russia is to
hold Batoum, Kars and Ktz< roinn
until a war indemnity of twenty
million pounds is paid; the Dardan

ceded rather on the principle ot the
Lebanon than on the plan of tho
Constantinople conference, and Tur
key to nominate a Christian govern

to ratification by the powers. Bui*
garia is. not understood to include
1 brace, but only to ex tend to the line
of the Balkans. A part of the Rus

at Constantinople by the Grand Duke

The Legislature of Ohio has a bill
before it providing that:
Any person or persons engaged in
any legitimate business, and who, on
account of tin* present depression of
business, or otherwise, can not dis
pose of their property without suf
fering great sacrifice in the sale there
fore, shall be exempted from having
their property, either personal or real
put at forced sale, by either Sheriff
or Constable, in th • county or town
ship where they may reside or carry
on such legitim it.* business, for the
collection of any debt by distre-sed
sale thereof for the term of twelve
months.”
We can see no rea-on why this
bill should not become a law It is
not designed to cheat the creditor
out of his dues, but to s’ay pressure
and thereby give the debtor time to
meet his obligations, and at the same
time save his property Ironi being
sacrificed.

O o
CANCERCAN BE CURED
Cancer lias from time immemorial been
a great scourge to the human race, ami is
now becoming the greater. For many
years it has been held by the medical pro
fession, and generally believed by the peo
ple, that Cancer is incurable ; that ouce
its roots take hold upon a victim, there is
no chance for a sufferer to escape a lin
gering terrible horrible disease, not only
to the sufferer, but to liis friends. Hapr
pity, this fell destroyer need no longer
be feared Dr. H. T. Bond, of Phila
delphia, i well known physician, of large
experience, lias for years devoted himself
to the special study and treatment of Can
cer, and the result of his experience is his
discovery for the radical cure of Cancer
without the use of either knife cauatic or
plasters, and without pain.
The majority of persons are greatly de
ceived iu regard to the first symptoms and
appearance of this most dreaded disease,
considering its painful from the commence
ment. This is a sad mistake, carrying
thousands to an untimely grave. In most
cases there is little or no pain until the
disease is far advanced. The only symp
toms for many mouths, and even for years
are occasionally a stinging, darting, stab
bing, shooting, smarting, itching, burning
crawling or creeping sensation, and in
some cases not any of these- If a malady
is growing worse instead of better, it is
conclusive evidence it is of a malignant
character and demands immediate atten
tion. If you have a branny, scaly, warty
appearance, with an occasional breaking
out of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended
with any of the above symptoms, or a sen
sation of a fly being on it, or a hair tick
ling, it, is certain evidence it is Cancer,
and there should be no delay in using Lr.
Bond’s treatment. Life is too valuable
to be tampered with.
Dr. Bond’s treatment consists of an
“Antidote” that is applied locally ; this
at once arrests the growth of the Cancer
and by chemical action neutralizes its maD
ignity, rendering it harmless and chang
ing it to a simple 6ore, which nature, as
sisted by constitutional remedies, soon
heals when the skin is unbroken, and the
Cancer is a hard tumor, the Antidote doe*
not make an open sore, but removes it by
absorption). In connection with the An
tidote is used the Specific, taken internal
ly. This tones up the general health,
strengthens the patient, purifies the blood
and eliminates the poison from the sys
tem. Dr. Bond’s Antidote contains nei
ther caustic nor poison, and can be ap
plied to the most delicate tissues of the
body without injury and therefore is the
only remedy that can be used in internal
Cancer, such as cancer of the stomach,
cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond s
remedies, with full directions for success
ful treatment will be sent to any part of
the world.
