AUGHTSTA, O-Al.:
Saturday Morning, Sept. 18, 1875.*
CURRENT TOPICS.
Many papers are more severe than just
in their remarks about drummers. They
are commercial travellers following a legit
imate business. They furnish revenue for
railway and hotels, and merchants find
them very useful in exhibiting samples .and
talking over prices. They are always cour
teous and try hard not to bore anybody
or interfere with a man when he is busy.
The severest criticism we have seen is the
following from the Atlanta Commonwealth:
“And now the polite, oily-tongued and
courteous drummer patrols our streets
again. Drummers are strange animals.
They are not made of flesh and blood and
water, like other people, but are composed
of blood and brass. They can stand up to
a merchant’s face and tell him what he
needs better than he could possibly learn
by himself. They can revolutionize a mer
chant’s mind in less time than it will take
them to get at him. They gain the ill will
of all the boys at a dance, because they
monopolize the young la lies; and the good
will of all the hotel men. barbers, cigar
venders, and saloon keepers of these little
towns because they patronize them so
heavily. They are strange beings.”
This is rich reading when it is known
that nearly every house and newspaper in
Atlanta has is drummer constantly in the
field, ’they persisteuly drum the whole of
Georgia, Alabama and _South Carolina.
Forty per cent of the trade of that town is
secured by drumming. The Herald half of
the Commonwealth has a drummer always
in the field.
We do not see a particle of harm they do.
These young men are working for an honest
livelihood. They generally deal squarely,
and almost invariably sell goods cheaper
than they can be had Ly writing or tele
graphing for them.
We have in the United States $106,000,000
in specie and $750,000,000 in paper money.
The only w *y to resume specie payments
is to draw in the paper until it about bal
ances the coin. The Radical plan is to do
this by the year 1879, and Bristow is now
hoarding up his gold for that purpose,
liut before this can possibly be consum
mated real estate will not sell for taxes,
and as low' as everything is now it must
come lower. Another plan for resumption
is laid down as follows:
Let the Treasury issue United States
bonds and convert them into gold coin, as
it is doing with bonds and converting into
silver coin. The demand for our bonds in
Europe (and where tne great bulk of specie
is now held) will soon make the exchange
for the gold which will be flowing back to
this country. The demand for the artlc e
will always bring it, if it is to be had. Since
the war we have had very little use for the
specie as a circulating medium, and it has
naturally sought other channels of trade.
Which means convert the present amount
1 1 greenbacks into an additional national
debt, drawing interest payable in gold.
Greenbacks are not now paying any inter
est drawn from tax-payers. Increase the
hold of the bondholders upon the country.
They are a poor, suffering set who should
be helped.
The Largest Mau in the World.
The death of a Mr. Blusher near Green
ville, Tenn., who wore a boot eighteen
inches long, was nine feet in height and
measured seven feet around the chest, re
calls an obituary notice published in the
Memphis papers some twenty years ago,
of another Tennessee giant. It ran as fol
lows :
“The funeral sermon of Mr. Miles Dar
win, who died at his residence in Hender
son county, was preached on the 4th Sun
day in June, five miles southwest from
Lexington, Tenn. The Masonic fraternity
were in attendance, in full regalia, on the
occasion.
“The deceased was, beyond all question,
the largest man in the world. His height
was seven,feet six inches, two inches higher
than Porter,the celebrated Kentucky giant.
His weight was a fraction over one thou
sand pounds. It required seventeen men
to put him in his coffin; took over one hun
dred feet of plank to make his coffin. He
measured around the waist six feet four
inches.”
The Jackson Family.
We find the following paragraph In an
exchange:
Isaac Jackson’s descendants celebrated
last week, at Hampton Grove, Pennsylva
nia, the 150th anniversary of his settlement
near that town. In 1725, Isaac Jackson, a
tfuaker, came to America to secure the
<uvil and religious liberty denied him in
England. Among his many descendants
were Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jonathan
.“Stonewall”) Jackson, the late Dr.
Samuel Jackson, of Philadelphia, and Dr.
Isaac W. Jackson, the mathematician.
Two thousand members of the Jackson
family had been invited to attend the cele
bration, and 900 were present.
Andrew Jackson did not belong to that
family at all. His father was an Irishman
who settled in the lower edge of North
Carolina, where Andrew was born.
AIR. J kfferson Davis was taken quite
sick after he arrived in Kansas City on
Monday, on account of his unusual oratori
cal efforts while in delicate health. He re
ceived fifteen invitations to speak at differ
ent places shortly after he got to Kansas
City, but was obliged to decline them all.
He will not be able to deliver an address at
Columbus, Indiana, to-morrow.
A Michigan paper says that the people
of England regard Capt. Webb, the man
who recently swam the British Channel, as
a greater man than Zaoh Chandler. And
so do we. Chandler couldn’t swim any
thing. The fact is, he has had such an an
tipathy to water ever since he was old
enough to know that it isn’t whiskey, that
fie has never learned to swim.
Spotted Tail has dropped $1,000,000 in
his price for the Black Hills. The other
day he stated positively that he would
stick to $7,000,000. He now asks $6,000,000.
Borne of his companions want $50,000,000.
Delano told Red Cloud last spring that
$25,000 was sufficient. The Indians are
probably going to stick to the millions,
if they do, it is doubtful if the Commis
sioners will conclude their business at the
Council.
Now another joy is taken from US.
George Washington had no ancestors.
Somebody in England has discovered
that the Father of his Country had ab
solutely no forefathers to speak of.
Without a pedigree, respect for his
memory will wane among the English,
and even here, the flavor of the Cen
tennial will be dashed with acid, in con
sequence of this untimely revelation.
Americans are good Republicans, but
they do like to trace their line back a
couple of hundred years or so, and
they “float” upon a tourist with a title.
It’s an innocent vanity.
A young man in Muneie, Ind., was
escorting a young woman to his home
in a carriage the other day, when he
came to a bridge that bad been over
flowed by a freshet. He drove his horse
into the water; but when the carriage
was threatened with submersion, and
the horse began to make an effort to
get away, he cut the traces, sprang
upon the animal’s back and set out for
the shore, leaving his companion in the
middle of the stream. The torrent
overturned the carriage and the girl
was drowned.
Betsey Carr, of Claremont, N. H., is
deaf and dumb. With these wonderful
qualifications for making a man happy,
she has lived 104 years without marry
ing or being given in marriage.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
James M. Dayson, a prominent citizen of
Wilkes county, is dead, aged 64.
Waynesboro Expositor: The remaining
prisoners, connected directly or indirectly
with the insurrection fiasco, were discharg
ed yesterday afternoon.
Dr. T. L. Anderson’s residence in Wash
ington was burned by fire on Tuesday
night. Insured for $3,000 in the London,
Liverpool and Globe.
Dr. Thomas D. Warrall, Managing Direc
tor of the Mississippi Valley Trading Com
pany, delivered an address in Macon on
Thursday night.
The Covington Enterprise has entered the
field against the Sunny South in answering
questions. Here is a specimen:
“If a man fiddle.-, you literally to death,
what are you to do for relief?
“Sufferer.”
Oglethorpe Echo: There is a gentle
man in this county who has a stalk
of corn with twenty-seven ears on it!—
He is too Wise, however, to speak of it
without showing the same. It will be on
exhibition at the Echo office soon.
The Conyers lawyers are talking about
lumping their libraries. The idea is a good
one. It would be better to do this than keep
up the old borrowing system. There is no
getting around supplying those too stingy
to buy books, and it is better to pile them
all together at once and be done.with it.
Sawyer: Col. Hardeman has taken to
the mountains. He goes up to introduce his
celebrated chinquepin picker. He spoke day
before yesterday at Canton, and goes from
there to Rabun. Evil-minded persons say
that he is electioneering for Governor, but
it is not so. Ho goes solely in the interest of
his patent picker.
Covington Enterprise: Our Billie walked
down to Monticello to see Sheeut. editor
Jasper county Banner. Sheck wasu’tthere,
but i ill discovered what he took to be the
foreman. The “nigger” informed him
“dat Mr. She-cut wan’r. dar, an’ hecouldn’t
git out de paper ’cept he had copy.” Bill
walked right off with the opinion that
Sliecut was a fraud.
Marietta Journal: Last week a farmer
was plowing in Gilmer county, when his
plow struck a hollow log, tearing off a
piece of it, when out rolled eight hundred
and five dollars in gold. Th tis the kind
of country our Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad is going to run through. * *
Our jail is now harboring quite a number
of illi it distillers. They were told to keep
‘stilt,” and kept “still” very much, but
not sufficient!v “still” to keep from
“ worming ” themselves behind the bars.
When the circus was performing in Rome
the other day, the one hundred year old
trick of the drunken man stumbling into
th • ring and the clown calling upon the
officers of the law, was successfully played
upon J. M. Jenkins, the Sheriff of the coun
ty. He rallied to the assistance of the
clown promptly, and after tussling with
the drunkard (?) for some time, was dumb
founded to see him suddenly jump upon a
horse, tty around the ring, throw off old
clothes and appear in tights and spangles.
Jenkins is sorry he ran for Sheriff.
Answer'.—Grease Thomas’ old fiddle-bow
with a meat skin, and make kindling wood
out of those old fiddles over that “Sulli
van boy’s” head, and you will get relief.
When a fellow catches fiddling, and allows
the disease to become ch.onic, it requires
the most violent remedies to effect a cure.
If we had a boy, and that boy was to take
that disease, we would first salivate him
with a boot-jack, and kick him nine times
around the county for a month, which we
think would make a permanent cure.
Atlanta Constitution: The pooling conven
tion is one of the mysteries of the day in
this southeastern country. It does not ap
pear to be a very harmonious institution,
to judge from the frequency with which it
is called together and the visible evidences
of a “shinny on your own side” spirit
which surround the occasions. The rail
roads are very generally represented in this
meeting of the convention, and the session
is evidently one of great interest to the im
mediate parties, who upon their part, are
as cool to reporters as though they had al
ready begun their winter business. The
convention met yesterday afternoon at the
Kimball House, and organized with the pres
ident, Gov. Jos. E Brown, in the chain. A
committee, for some unknown purpose,
was appointed, and remained out for some
time. So far as we learned, nothing of a
definite character tianspired in the conven
tion up to the latest hour when we had ad
vices. The question of rates was not enter
ed into. The question of an arbitration
committee to settle all disputes that may
arise between the parties to the pools, we
are told, did not meet with very general
favor, as being an unnecessary encum
brance, and nothing was done apout the
matter. The fall crops are the main objects
in the eyes of the convention, and the main
movements will be for the purpose of orga
uizing transportation so as to move these
crops to the best advantage and with the
greatest profit. What the modus operandi
will be, we do not know, but suppose the
developments of to-day will fully exhibit
the plan to be pursued.
Lavender.
How prono wo are to hide and hoard
Each little token love has stored,
1 o tell of happy hours;
We lay aside with teud“r care
A tattered book, a curl of hair,
A bunch of faded flowers.
When Death has led with pulseless hand
Our darlings to the silent land,
Awnile we sit bereft.
But time goes on; anon we rise,
Our dead being buried from our eyes,
We gather what is left.
The books they loved, the songs they sang,
Ihe little lute whose music rang
So cheerily of old:
The pictures we have watched them paiut,
The last-plucked flower, with odor faint,
That fell from fingers cold.
We smooth and fold with reverent care
The robes they, living, used to wear;
And painful pulses stir,
As o’er the relics of our dead,
With bitter rain of tears, we spread
Palo purple lavender.
And when we come In after years.
With only tender April tears
On cheeks once white with care.
To look at ti easures put away
Despairing on that far-off cay,
A subtle scent is there.
Dew-wet and fresh we gather them,
These fragrant flowers—now every stem
Is bare of all its bloom.
Tear-wet and sweet we strewed them here,
To lend our relics sacred, dear,
Their beautiful perfume.
That scent abides on book and lute,
Un curl, and flower, and with its mute
But eloquent appeal,
It wins from us a deeper sob
For our lost dead -a sharper throb
Than we are wont to feel. •
It whispers of the long ago
Its love, its loss, its aching woe,
And buried sorrows stir;
And tears like those wo shed of old
Roll down our che ks as we behold
Our faded lavender.
[All the Year Round.
She Knew the Woman.—At one of
the railroad depots the other day a lady
walked up to the ticket window and
smilingly said :
“ I know just how women are, and I
don’t propose to bother any one. An
swer me a few questions, and I’ll sit
down and say nothing to no one till
train time. How far is it to Grand
Rapids ? What’s the fare ? When does
the train leave? When do we arrive
there? Where do they check bag
gage? Which track will the train start
from? How can I get to Muekegon
from GW)d Rapids? How far is it,?—
What’s the fare? Do I change cars?
Is there a palace coack on the road?
Shall I get a lay-over ticket? Can I
check my baggage clear through? Is
there a conductor on this road named
Smith? Do you allow dogs in the pas
senger cars? and can a child ten years
old go for nothing?”
Having been answered, she kept her
promise to sit still, and the depot po
liceman never had, the least bit of
trouble in seeing her off.—[Detroit Free
Press.
“Thunder!” exclaimed a man, rush
ing into a railroad telegraph station
the other day. “.The express train’s
gone off the big bridge!” “Many kill
ed many killed?” screamed the by
standers. “Not a one,” replied the oth
er; M she just went on at one end anu
went off at the other, just as usual.’
Happiness is not in greenbacks, but
In a spirit of contentment. Neverthe
less, money does not necessarily dis
tress people. We recollect having five
dollars and a half once upon a time,
and were not all unhappy thereat.
A deposit of red granite resembling
that of Aberdeen has been discovered
In Stearns county, Minnesota. It is ex
pected to prove very valuable.

Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evoner, the laps when ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and tho picker house is
safer from fire than tho card ro mi.
jwThere is al-o a great saving o’* room and power over the old system.
These Machines may he seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac

Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. \
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen, f hr ve been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, for more th r two vrars east pr ths Cotton Mill of tno
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent. in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of tho greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against tire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
