Constitution olist -A.XJC3-XJST-A., CAJA,z Sunday Morning, September 20, 1875 Spending Money at Home—Words of Wisdom. We know for certain that many peo ple in the city of Augusta who could have work done as cheaply and as ef ficiently at home, year after year, send thousands of dollars abroad which, if circulated in their midst, would be a common benefaction. This is not right. The only answer that can be given is the personal freedom of a man to spend his greenbacks as he thinks proper. That freedom we would not abate one jot, but it may not come amiss to confer with those who give to strangers and rivals what would be a general benefit to their customers and themselves in this city. To this end we respectfully call atten tion to the following ten reasons why the men who have money to spend should keep it in circulation here, rather than add their influence and cash for building up aliens and their business. We find these words of wis dom going the rounds uncredited, but whoever the writer is, he has a level head, and deserves the most pious con sideration. Hear him: Ist. It is your home; you cannot im prove it much by taking money away to spend or invest. 2d. There is no way of improving a place so much as by encouraging good merchants, good schools, and good people to settle among you, and this cannot be done unless you spehd your money at home. 3d. Spend your money at home, be cause there is where you generally get it. It*is your duty. 4th. Spend your money at home, be cause when it is necessary for you to get credit, it is of your town merchants you have generally to get it, and they must wait for the money. Therefore, when you have the cash in hand spend it at home. sth. Spend your money at' home. It will make better merchants of your merchants; they can and will keep bet ter assortments and sell at lower rates than if the only business they can do is what is credited out, while the money goes to other places. 6th. Spend your money at home. You may have sons growing up who will some day be the beet merchants in town. Help lay the foundations of them now. It is a duty. It may be your pride in after years to say: “By my trading at Jhe store I got my son a position as clerk, and now he is a pro prietor.” Then you will think it hard if your neighbors spend their money out of town. Set the example now. 7th. Spend you money at home. Set the example now. Buy your dry goods, groceries, meats and everything at home, and you will see a wonderful change in a short time in the business outlook of the place; therefore, deal with your home merchants. Bth. Spend your money at home. What do you gain by going off? Count the cost; see what you could have done at homo by Jetting your merchant have the cash. Strike a balance and see if you would not have been just as well off, besides helping your merchant. 9th. Spend your money at home. Your merchants are your neighbors, your friends ; they stand by you in sickness, are your associates; without your trade they cannot keep your business. No then no banks, no one want ing to buy property to settle on and build up your place. “10th. Merchants should do their ad vertising at home. They should get their bill-heads, circulars, letter-heads, envelopes and all their printing at home, of their own newspapers, who aid them in many ways, and advertise them hundreds of times without any pay whatever. Merchants should set an example to their customers by adver tising liberally their home newspapers. Men and women are imitative animals and are prone to follow examples set them. How can merchants expect their neighbors to trade with them if they set the example of going away from home for their printing and advertising? Let merchants and people all patronize home enterprise and home industry and home trade. So shall they all be prosperous and happy. Ben Hill— Having heard that Mr. Hill had declined to make any more public speeches, at this time, the Wash ington Chronicle thinks he is waiting for Congress, and says: “All correct, Mr. Hill. Come right along the first Monday of December, filled to the brim —you and Gordon, and John Young Brown, of blessed memory—and cry aloud, and spare not. The people of this country want a little waking up, and you are just the fellows to do it. And wo beseech you, Mr. Hill, not to leave behind you that remarkable manuscript, whereby you proved so conclusively to one or two Georgia au diences that the people of the North are the true rebels, not the people of the South. Such sentiments will sound delightfully in the Capitol. Further more, we will embalm them in the Pat ent Office.” Well, Hill and Brown and Gordon and ever so many other Democrats will “come right along” and show you a Congress composed overwhelmingly of anti-Radicals—a rare sight for many years. As to Mr. Hill specially, we think it most likely that .extreme men at home and abroad will be disappoint ed in him. The chances are that he will not raise the dome of the Capitol for the South or “tear a passion to tat ters” for the peculiar delectation of the Washington Chronicle. The New York Herald, in publishing an other communication from its correspond ent, Mr. NORDHOFF, calls attention to the fact “ that Georgia has had, under Demo cratic auspices, an economical and excel lent administration, showing that the State debt is trifling, the State credit high, the taxes low and the counties almost exempt from Commercial. Mr. JT#bdhoff never attacked the State Qhdnces of Georgia, and yet some of ow contemporaries ape long articles to prove that he did. A New Brunswicker spent $1,500 to get a verdict of sl. Dr. Worrall and tlie Charges Against Him. We had a call yesterday from Dr. T. D. Worrall who has recently been the target for some arrows shot from New Orleans and Atlanta. This gen tleman has shown us certain evidences that the principal source of abuse pre ceeds from the Custom House Radi cals in New Orleans to whom any thing like direct or free trade with Europe is distasteful. He says, also, that while it is true that he was a mem ber of the Louisiana Legislature, during Warmoth’s official career there, he broke loose from the Republican ring so soon as he discovered its “true inwardness” and was largely instru mental in destroying the power of the greatest monster that ever cursed a people with his presence. He states further that just as he and his col leagues got Warmoth down, the white people of Louisiana picked him up as a leader to their great disaster. That they picked him up, with a folly un heard of in human annals, is only too true; how far Dr. Worrall was in strumental in getting him in chancery we can not say. The Doctor further states that the stories floated about his having swin dled any Englishmen, by samples, or otherwise, are pure and baseless fabri cations, proof of which can be pro duced any day. The Brashear News, a Democratic paper, alluding to the charges so in dustriously circulated against this gen tleman, positively affirms that no dis honest act of his has ever before been bruited in that region/and the editor attributes the reports now current to personal spite and vindictiveness on the part of do not wish the South well. The strongest proof adduced by Dr. Worrall of his good standing in Louisi ana is the published meeting of Grange No. 53, and prominent citizens, of New Orleans, who gave him a rousiug wel come upon his return I 'from England, last August. Among the citizens who took part in this ovation we find the names of Al bert Baldwin, Judge Marr, Edwin L. Jewell. John McEnry, Loui3 A. Wiltz, D. B. Penn and maDy others who stand in the front rank of wealth, intelligence and respectability in the Southwest. The resolutions passed by the Louisi ana Grange are of the compli mentary character to Dr. Worrall per sonally. He is formally “welcomed back,” he is spoken of as “our esteemed fellow-citizen,” “hearty thanks” are ex pressed for his “disinterested labors,” etc. etc. All the evidence we have seen goes to disprove the allegations of those who have sensationally pursued this gentleman a3 a “fraud” and a “hypo crite.” In justice to him we h ;ve made this presentation’of such facts as have been brought to our attention. If they are susceptible of being controverted, we shall not fail to make public whatever his enemies can substantiate against him. At present the Doctor seems to be in much better company than his would-be destroyers, and as he confi dently refers to Gen. Beauregard for testimonials, we shall probably know, at an early day, whether he is the vic tim of slander, or an adventurer whose sole purpose is to “develop” the re sources of the South, after the manner of Skowhegan statesmen and Bing publicans. As if to clinch this matter, we have just come across a copy of the New Orleans Times of July 24th, 1875, which editorially speaks of Dr. Worrall in the highest terms. The editor declares that his unaided exertion 3 inspired the great movement now on foot; that he has received no remuneration for the same; that he has labored in this cause so dear to the Southern heart through many/vicissitudes and at great personal sacrifice; that he finally succeeded in winning the ear of the British people; that foreign capital had responded to his appeals; that the Grangers heartily and unanimously endorse him, as well as many agricultural societies. The testihony of the editor of the New Or leans Times is directly in contradiction of a subaltern of that paper; and it does seem, from the overwhelm ing proof submitted to us, that a wor thy gentleman, who ardently desires to help the South where she most needs assistance, has been the undeserved victim of a newspaper sensation, and from one, too, that claims to bo so nearly allied with the Patrons of Hus bandry. If the Doctor be all that the authentic documents shown us would appear to establish beyond successful refutation, the journals so swift to em barrass him, unintentionally and with out sinister motives, no doubt, cannot be too prompt in undoing the evil already done. By last night’s mail, since writing the above, we find in the Atlanta Herald the foil wing dispatch : Kg? Crab Orchard Springs, Ky., ) September 24, 1875. j To the Editor of the Herald: Dr. WoRBALii is now encaged in a most important undertaking to the South, and should be encouraged regardless of any imputed past errors. G. T. Beauregard. That should settle the matter with every right-minded man. From the Doctor’s speech at Savannah, a sketch of which we have perused, he demon strates the possession of remarkable Intellect, and is now enlisted In a most promising scheme for Southern com mercial Independence. Schurz. Ex-Senator Schurz says trade is no better in Europe than it is here, with the sole exception of France. He testifies that that phenomenal land is doiDg a prosperous business and growing richer than ever! Germany and England are suffering from decay of trade. He says the German people are not aDxious, though prepared, for another war. A Good Joke. —The Republican pa pers of New York are dreadfully indig nant because the Patrons of Husbandry of Pennsylvania have been captured by the Democrary. Well, if the Grangers are to fall into politics, and it is very hard to avoid that contingency, it is grateful to know that they are gravi tating towards the true fold. Bitters—The Secrets of the Charnel House. A considerable number of men who can not take one drink of alcoholic li quor without an almost irresistible tendency to get drunk, violate the Eighteenth Section, empty the barrels of their revolvers, or run the risk of going home on a shutter without any tragical preliminaries—a great many meD, we say, thus circumstanced, ab jure whiskey and fail back upon “bit ters” as a comforter, instead of cold water. We regret to say that the cure is now pronounced not much better than the disease. It seems that the Board of Health of Boston intrusted an expert, Mr. W. R. Nichols, with a chemical examination of the substi tutes for straight liquor, and his report would almost make the quills bristle on a porcupine. Mr. Nichols endorsed a similar report of Dr. Gibbons, of Cali fornia, an outline of which is given by the New York Times. We learn from this source that “bad whiskey appears to be the basis of almost all of them, and the bitters are made up of any herbs that happen to be most conveni ent to the maker’s hands. The profits on the sale of these concoctions are said to bo five hundred per cent, above the cost of material. * * * * Out of twenty varieties of the bitters most frequently used, only one was found to be free from alcohol, and that one has the smallest sales. One sample con tained as much as fifty-nine per cent, of pure alcohol, another had forty-six, another foity-two, and so on, the pro portion varying in all. It appears that vinegar bitters were started with the intention of devising something from which alcohol should be altogether excluded. The idea originated with the cook of a party which traveled overland as a mining company to California. He settled in Calaveras county, and, having no suc cess as a miner, he turned his atten tion to the medicinal properties of the herbs growing about him. He made an infusion of these, and submitted his project to a druggist in San Francisco, who immediately joined him in the concern, and the two were resolved to make a speedy fortune by the sale of their ‘lndian Vegetable Bitters.’ But while they were perfecting the business ariangements, the infusion of Indian herbs was fermenting, and when they came to look at it again, it was quite sour. But it was easy to change the name, and it was not profitable to throw away the compound. So they agreed thenceforth to call it “Vine gar Bitters,” and to identify it with the movement against alcoholic drinks. The next change was to do away with tho native herbs, which became rather troublesome to collect, and in place of them they substituted aloes, which has the advantage of being cheap and at the same time nasty enough for any reasonable palate. Dr. Gibbons says of Vinegar Bitters that it is one of the vilest, if not the very vilest, of all the concoctions in the market; and it is rendered more repulsive and ob noxious by concealing its poison with the mask of temperance. Upon analy sis it turns out that even this mixture contains six per cent, of pure alcohol, besides some free acetic acid.” After this exposition we are inclined to believe that the man who drinks “bitters” is more dangerous to a com munity than he who takes his straight whiskey, at some first-class bar room. The crimes frequently saddled upon potations of the best of “Bourbon,” “Acme,” “Baker” or “Diodora” may be perhaps traced to commercial bitters and spurious decoctions of core, wheat and rye. Butler,— Poor old Ben Butler ba s been unusually quiet, for him, of late, but that does not prevent some of his late admirers from “reading him out of the party.” One of them, the editor of the Cleveland (Tenn.) Herald, thus ejaculates: “Old Spoon Butler has joined the Democrats. He proposes to run the Democratic party, “civil rights,” spoons and all. It is a glori ous thing for the Republicans to get shut of him. He is too big a rascal to belong to the Republican party; but he is ‘in clover now’ just where he be longs.” We think Ben, at this junc ture, is where fable places Mohammed’s coffin—poised between two magnets. The Saranac. —When old Lyman Beecher’s Temperance Church was burned down, it was discovered that the vaults had been rented by the cold water members, at a large sum, for the storage of intoxicating liquors. But for that the church would have been saved. And now comes a correspond ent of the New York Sun, who says the United States steamer Saranac, lost in June last by striking on a reef in Sey mour’s narrows, near Vancouver’s Is land, was fairly crammed with cheap liquors belonging to the officers, taken on board to be exchanged for furs and the like in Alaska. Caught.— The La Grange jßeporter is poking fun at Rev. Florence McCarthy’s lecture on Stonewall Jackson. The Rev. gentleman said the “roads were covered with snow after the first battle of Manassas”. As that battle was fought on the 21st of July, one of the hottest days of the year, it is candidly submitted that Mr. McCar thy has mixed his datei and spoiled his pudding. Dreadful.— Some demons in human shape, after the disaster at Indianola, “prowled about among the dead, rifling the bodies of whatever valuables wero discovered. Fingers and hands were cut off by these marauders, in order to possess themselves of the rings upon the fingers.” We rejoice to learn that these beastly ghouls were “summarily disposed of.” Where has all the wheat money gone?— Huntingdon Times. To New York, via Washington, to pay tribute to His Majesty, Five-Twenty. If it was not locked up and held there, the wheat wo would have left would be $1.50 per bushel and without further inflation either.—Nash ville American. Pretty soon people will be asking where the cotton money is and the answer will be “Gone to join the wheat money.” SPECIAL NOTICE] j PAY YOUR STATE AND COUN’ ’ lAXEaT THE TAX DIGEST FOR THI YEAR 1875 will be closed on November Fir; , md exe cutions issued against all who ar< in arrears.
