Cotton movements yesterday: One
thousand six hundred and fourteen

eleven bales sold.
George O. Robinson & Cos., the propri
etors of the “Augusta Music Store,”
shipped a parlor organ to Atlanta yes
terday. So much for persistent and
liberal advertising.
Hereafter, a passenger car will be
attached to the freight train on the
Georgia Railroad, which leaves Au

connection at Camak with the Macon
train.
The Rev. J. T. Patterson, under the

We do not often blow our own horn,
but on yesterday we printed five hun
dred extra copies of our daily edition,
yet, before dinner, we had not a copy
left. Hundreds were disappointed at
not receiving a copy containing full
particulars of all local news, yet we
could not help it.
Last night, a man walked up to the
post at Brahe’s corner, on the top of
which is a sign in the shape of a large
watch, and looking for some time ear
nestly at the imitation watch, remark
ed, “ That clock is not right.” He was
informed that it was not running, when
he went on his way.
Our readers will see that we publish
all Legal advertisements in this Con

do this for the benefit, and at the par

distant when the public elective officers
of this county will give us a chance at
the county advertising, seeing that we
contribute our fair share toward the
county taxation.
The Match Race.
Notwithstanding the extremely cold
weather, a large crowd of persons as
sembled yesterday afternoon at the
Fair Grounds to witness the race be
tween the r. g. Basil Duke, and g. m.
Lucy—mile heats, best three in five.
The horse went to harness and the
mare to wagon, and the heats were
well contested. When four heats were
finished, darkness came on, and the
judges postponed the race until Mon
day afternoon. It is understood con
siderable money is staked on the result,
as both horses have many admirers.
The Duke appeared to be the favorite.

Amusements.
Hall’s Combination presented the
drama of “Frou Frou,” last night, at
tha Opera House, to a rather small
audience. Like the majority of the
modern plays of the hot-house school
of Parisian morality, it abounded in
peculiar situations. Possibly, the
Southern people have not been suffi
ciently educated up to the point to ap
preciate these “society” plays. While
the exc2llence of this company cannot
for a moment be questioned, we
are candidly of opinion, that the
players have been laboring under the
disadvantage of being cast in a style
of plays which are not appreciated in
this region of the country. It is scarce
ly to be wondered at that gentlemen
hesitate to take the ladies to the play
house, when they are not certain to
what “school” the play belongs.

Excursion Up the Canal.
Accepting the invitation of a friend
yesterday, we paid a visit to the canal,
and went up its entire length to the
new lock and dam. The day was
somewhat cool, but a newspaper man
in pursuit of knowledge isn’t stopped
by trifles, and the slight inconvenience
was submitted to, in order that we
might gain a few items of interest. A
large amount of work has been done
within the past three months in
strengthening the banks, and at the
bulkhead, we found only about three
hundred and seventy-five feet of the
dam to be finished—twelve hundred
and ninety feet of the dam having been
built to date. In October, three hun
dred and eightv-six feet of the dam
was built, being the largest
amount of work performed in one
month since the work was commenced.
On the South Carolina side, a passage
is being cleared out and deepened, in
order to accommodate the mill owned
by H. H. Townes. Present appearances
indicate that the dam will be fully com
pleted by" March 1, 1876. At the head
pf the new lock, two stone piers are
being built to accommodate a floating
boom, in order that boats can easily
pass the new locks without danger of
being carried over the dam. It was
noticed that an arrangement has been
made by which the gates of the new
lock can be removed, without interfer
ing With the business of the canal. At
the lowest stage of the river, when the
new dam is completed, there will be
fourteen thousand more horse powers
than at present. The anchoring of the
large top stones of the dam is a
very thorough and workmanlike
job. Captain Daniel Callahan, the
Superintendent of the work on be
half of the contractor, tells us that the
present cold weather, if it should con
tinue, will materially interfer with car
rying on the work. The bulkhead and
dam as specimens of rubble masonry
laid in cement., are considered the finest
of the kind in the United States. Evi
dently, George A. Denning and Albert
H. Davidson, the inspectors, acting on
behalf of the city, have performed their
duties in' a most thorough manner.
Byron Holly, Esq., the engineer of the
work, assisted t by his son, Byron Holly,
Jr., who has had charge of the new
locks and dam, has made a most en
during monument of his skill. Mr.
Holly is an engineer of great experience,
aud was employed on the Erie Canal as
a division engineer for many years.
We were surprised to hear that no
photograph has ever been taken of the
dam and new locks. Where are our
live photographic artists?
Astonishing Success.
Capt. J. H. Miller, of the Cotton
States Life Insurance Company, who
took charge of this agency on the Bth
inst., has already sent up to head quar
ters, at Macon, twenty-five applications
covering a large amount of insurance.
The applicants are among our best
and most prosperous business men.
There is an unusual interest manifest
ed by our citizens in this State com
pany, which is very commendable, and
the interest is bound to increase as they
perceive the importance of patronizing
this home institution.
Capt. Miller deserves much credit for
his indefatigable zeal and tact, and is.
indeed, a valuable accession to the
company. No agent can be more effi
cient.
Change of Schedule.
We learn from Mr. F. K. Huger, the
agent of the South Carolina Railroad
Company, in this city, that on and after
Sunday, the 19th inst., the night train
for Charleston will leave the Union
Depot at 8:30 p. m., Charleston time—
immediately after the arrival of the
Georgia Railroad train from Atlanta,
and not at 6:00 p. m., as heretofore.
The Aiken Accommodation train will
leave Aiken at 9:00 a. m., instead of
8:00 a. m., as heretofore.
Dynamite.
[Communicated.]
Mr. Editor : Various queries have
been made in reference to dynamite
since the late explosion. A few facts
from as high a source as the Scientific
American, in reference to it, may be in
teresting to engineers:
“dynamite.”
“In dynamite, the absorbent is usu
ally a natural silicious earth. De
posits of this silicious earth are
found in many places, notably in
Hanover. From the Hanover earth,
the original Dynamite was made. This
silicious earth is a fine white powder,
composed of the skeletons of microscopic
animals. It has a high absorbtive pow
er, being capable of taking up from
two to three times its weight of nitro
glycerine without becoming pasty. The
process of making Dynamite is very
simple. The nitro-glycerine is mixed
with the dry fine powder in a leaden
vessel, with wooden spatalus. Dyna
mite has a brown color, and resembles
in appearance moist, brown sugar. It
usually contains from sixty to seventy
five per cent, of nitro-glycerine. In
this country it is made and sold
under the name of ‘giant powder.’
The explosive properties of dyna
mite are those of the nitro
glycerine contained in it, as the ab
sorbent is an inert body. The keeping
qualities of dynamite are th< se of the
nitro-glycerine it is made from, and is
safer, because it avoids the liquid
condition, and from its softness
it will bear blows much better. Exu
dation must be guarded against. The
firing point of Dynamite is the same as
of nitro-glycerioe. If flame is applied
to it, it takes fire and burns with a
strong flame, leaving a residue of silicia.
It is not sensitive to friction or modern
percussion. Mode of Firing : Dynamite
is fired by a fulminate fuse—gunpow
der will fire it, but not with certainty.
Use and Relative Force: Dynamite is
the best of the nitro-glycerine prepara
tions, and the best form in which it can
be used, and has earned a good reputa
tion for safety. It is much used for blast
ing, much more effective than powder; it
is practically safer since it is not liable
to explosion by sparks or flames. The
explosive force of dynamite is, of
course, that of the hydro-glycerine
contained in it. If it contains seventy
five per cent., its comparative force
may then be approximately stated, at
six times that of gunpowder, weight for
weight. These condensed facts—with
other points of interest relative to
dynamite, also dynamite No. 2, will be
found in October number, under date
of 2d. T. S. B.

Slander.
“Slander —that word of poisons only
finds an easy entrance into ignoble
minds.” Oh! scorching firebrand, bane
of society by which more lives are
blasted, more harm done, yes actual
harm inflicted than by invading ar
mies. It has been brought home to us
and its fiendish effects by the sacrifice
of one whose life, only in its prime,
might have been an instrument for
good in this world, but which, through
that instrument of the devil—slander—
“yesterday was, but to-day is but down
like grass.” Oue would think that God
had given us, iu this beautiful world
work enough for hands and minds —
yet nay—these works are put aside for
the devils work of ruining our
bor’s lives, by poisoning their existence
by goading them on to the sacrifice of
life even, with the busy tongue of
slander. “Oh! our souls, how heavily
they go to reach eternal joys.” Have
we been given immortal souls for this,
that their nourishment should be poi
sons, their faculties for good th is dis
torted? Let us “cleanse our hearts, and
keep our minds in the knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ,” that into those
holy abodes, “slander,” the word of
poisons may not enter.
Mourner.
The Twenty-Cent Pieces.—The San
Francisco Post says the twenty-cent
pieces have proved a failure in Cali
fornia, nobody seeming to want either
to pass or receive them, and in some
mysterious manner they disappear and
go back to the mint, and, though desti
tute of such a coin, we still reckon in
bits for all our small transactions.
You inquire: “How can I prevent my
little boy from wearing out the knees
of his pants?” That problem has
been in the market ever sine s Eve
asked Adam the same thing about
young Cain. We only know three sure
ways : You can kill the boy, or you can
make his pants without any knees; but
perhaps the best way would be to get
some other little boy about the same
size to wear the knees out, if you have
such objections to your own boy’s
doing it.
There is a family iu Mercer county
Pennsylvania, composed of twem y-four
members, eleven pairs of twins. It is
truly felicitous to see them sitting
down to tea, of which the chief article
of diet is mush aud milk. The old loan
and his wife are looking as well as can
be expected under the circumstances.
The house is a noble old structure,
composed of split logs, one placed on
top of the other, aud the material used
in constructing the floor is known to
artists as puncheon. After eliciting all
the iuformation possible upon the sub
ject, we are constrained to locate MerT
eer county about four hundred and
forty-nine miles from Brooklyn.;
Charles Dudley Warner thinks that
the Italian mosquitoes are morel intel
ligent than the American ones, paying
that the mosquito in Venice, who has
had civilized ancestors for 1,000 years,
is a very different animal from the
mosquito of our Western prairie*. He
is alert, cautious, cunning, and t rained
to get hisjiving with the least possible
danger.

At the Cotton Exchange during the week
the market on spat has been somewhat ir
regular, and official quotations have been
revised on several days, closing firm at
prices which show some in advance in bet
tor descriptions compared with last week.
There has been more demand on spot from
both exporters and spinners, but business
has been confined to the better grades, the
common description being neglected, and
to a great extent nominal in value as a con
sequence. Au advance in Liverpool
strengthened the entire market at one
time, but latterly Liverpool has been
rather unfavorably affected by au increase
of receipts at the ports for future delivery.
The market has, as usual, fluctuated not a
little, a variety of influences affecting
prices.

HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE
MUS T be those afflicted with Consump
tiom Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis
ease of tne Lungs, Throat or Chest, who
neglect to use Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant
after reading the following letter, written
by one of the most estimable ladies in the
South;
Savannah, Ga., April 28, 1872.
Dr. Tutt :—ln gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs.
For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended wit h great difficulty of
breathing. I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am row per
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I began its use, and I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessing
to me; I cannot afford to be without it and
heartily recommend it to all who have,lung
or throat disease. Very respectfully,
Mrs. A. M. Wellborn.

Plans of Insurance.
All Policies Non-Forfeitable—Strictly a
Home Company, with its capital and in

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT LIFE
RATES.
Low Premiums—Deflnite Con
tracts.
The Cotton States Life Insurance Com
pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of meeting
the 'demand of the insuring public for low
rates, and contracts that can be under
stood by all, offers the
Endowment Life-Rate Policy,
With confidence that an examination of the
plan is all that is i ecessary to commend it
to the favor of all desiring insurance.
This plan secures two objects:
Ist. It provides for those dependent upon
us in the event, of death.
2d. It provides for our old age in case
we attain a stipulated age.
The low rata of premiums, and the fact
that the insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most Desirable Ft rm of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as low as the usual life
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or the age of ninety, and
the time for payment of the insuranca
ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years, or at
deatii if prior. This period may be short
ened at any time, at the option of the in
sured, by additional payments for that
purpose.
To illustrate the difference between this
plan and the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
In all Mutual Companies the ordinary
premium at ago 41, payable at age 68, is
$42.75 jjpr SI,OOO.
The premium on Endowment-Life-Rate
plan at age 41, payable at age 68, is $32.47
per thousand dollars. Showing a saving
of Twenty-five per Cent, to the Policy
Holder.
Reasons for nsuring on the
Endowment Life-Rate Plan:
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest
possible cost.
2 i. It provides for your family in case of
death.
3d. It provides for yourself in old age.
4th. There orn be no Joss. In case pre
miums should be discontinued, paid-up in-
I suranee is given for the amount paid in
[ premiums.
stli. It is better than a savings bank.
The first premium paid secures a fortune,
and if pa> merits are continued the accu
mulations and amount insured will be
much more than could be earned by the
most fortunate savings bank.
6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated
age, within the ordinary period of life: and
7th. By this means it is no longer neces
sary to “ die to win."

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe." It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that i often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues or many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Header, if yoi have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Bick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from ‘the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.
