IVoi’th BELLTON, GA., JUNE 1», 119. If egotism is a prime qualification for members of Congress, at least one of the districts of Georgia is ably rep resented. The name of Senator George S. Houston, of Alabama, is prominent at this time in Washington among those mentioned for the second place on the presidential ticket for 1880. »♦ « The New York World advises the Maine Democrats to support the Greenback ticket, and if they have sense they Will do so, as they have but a smalj following in Maine, while the Greenbackers are quite numerous. “One tiling At a time,” is General Ewing’s wise motto. He says the fight in Ohio is for Governor, not President. After the Slate fight is over, then the Ohio Democrats will clear the decks for the National battle. The New England Republicans will not be united in the next Presi dential nominating convention. Maine is for Blaine, New Hampshire for Sherman, Vermont for Grant, and Massachusetts for Hayes. So says the Boston Herald, after a careful re view of the situation. Wade Hampton says the South is eminently conservative. It wants to be quiet, and does not want to be the victim or the mover in anything that will help create trouble or distrust. He believes in silver money, but wants a proper relation established between the two metals. ■■■»♦«- The June returns of the, Depart ment of Agriculture show the average condition of winter wheat to be ninety against ninety-eight last year. Re turns from the cotton crop indicate an increase of acreage over last year of somewhat over two percent. The stand is generally good, but some two weeks later.

Tlie sheep raising business is serious ly impaired by the. ravages of dogs, and the cry for their extermination or for a law that would protect the peo ple from their ravages has become wide-spread and earnest.” Within the last week, two brutal tights between squads of negroes, in which lives were lost, occurred in or on the borders of Georgia. One of these battles was in Mclntosh county, Ga., and the. other in Russell county, Alabama. They will attract no atten tion from political or politico-religious howb rs.

The trial of Samuel H. Hill, who shot and killed John R. Simmons, last January, began in Atlanta on Tues day of last week, and did not termi nate until day before yesterday. A number of witnesses were examined on both sides, and the circumstances of the killing, as exhibited in the evi dence, make the affair one. of the sad dest cases in the criminal history of the State. The prisoner was repre sented by able counsel, Gen. Gartrell among the number, and an earnest effort was made to secure his acquittal on the ground of justifiable homicide, but after a full and able presentation of the case on both sides, and a strong charge from Judge Hillyer, the jury, on Tuesday night, after a short ab sence, returned a verdict of “guilty of murder,” with a recommendation that the prisoner be sentenced to the peni tentiary for life. A motion will be made for a new trial, and failing in this the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. Dr. IL 11. Carlton, in his paper, the Athens Banner, is out in an article proposing a plan by which the demand for the establishment of branches of the State Agricultural College, at Thomasville, Milledgeville and some point in Cherokee, similar to the one at Dahlonega, may be. made, without making a further division of the Land Scrip Fund. Dr. Carlton proposes that the revenue which (he State derives from the. Agricultural Bureau, arising from its inspection fees on commer cial fertilizers, which amounts to more than .*20,000 per annum, shall be de voted to the establishment of these branch colleges. The scheme is at tracting the attention of the press all over the State, and it seems altogether as feasible. Reports received at the general land office in Washington show that, during the months of January, Febru ary, March and April last, as many acres were, taken up as ever before in any single year, which indicates an unprecedented and encouraging in crease in the vohimn of immigration. It appears, moreover, from state ments recently prepared at the land office, that there, are 724,311,177 acres of surveyed public lands which arc yet undisposed of, and the enormous aggregate of over 1,000,000,000 acres that have never been surveyed. • ► ■ Some. Democrats in Congress, by trying to court the favor of the ]{<•- piiblKnn party , have brought them selves into contempt. Ovcr-conserv ativeness docs more barm than good, and the time has arrived when South ern Congressman should hold a stiff' upper lip ami not let the stalwarts run right square over them, as has been the ease oftentimes during the past decade. Tlie’y Should- tie given Io understand that the Southern peo ple will not take their lying abuse forever, and all their vile anathemas should be hurled back into their teeth as soon as uttered.—Atlanta Sunday Phonograph. 'The St. Louis Republican says : “It is getting plainer every day that the elementary doctrine in the creed the stalwarts profess is that the mission of the Republican party will not be ended until it shall be made a crimi nal offense to vote, write or speak against that party. The election of Grant to.a third term will only be a stepping stone to the establishment of this doctrine in the land, for it will only be when Grant is made perpet ual ruler that the mission will be accomplished. Then it will be trea son to say aught against him or those who make him.” In speaking of the State Sunday school convention the Gainesville Eagle says: Much credit, is due to Col. W. G. Whidby, of Atlanta, who was one of the foremost men in the organization, many county associa tions being organized under the con stitution of the DeKalb county associ ation which he printed and distributed at'his own expense. In all this he was seconded hv many good and true, men, such as Hon. M. A. Candler and W. J. Houston, of DeKalb, Rev. IL Quigg and .1. C. Barton, of Conyers, 'J.IS. Slewiut and R. W. Smith, of Oxford, Rqy. D. E. Butler, of Madi son, T. M. Bryan, of Union Point. W. W. Lumpkin, of Athens, J. W. Wallace, of Augusta, Bjshop Pierce and many others. Southern States are not the only ones that prohibit marriages between whites and negroes. Rhode Island. Michigan and Maine have very strin gent law s on this subject. -«-» Tlie steady increase of European immigration continues to be one of the most noticeable evidences of the progress of the country towards the recovery of industrial prosperity. DR. GOSS' ARTICLE. We publish elsewhere an article by Dr. I. J. M. Goss, on the “Germ Theory of Disease,” which we hope our readers will not pass by because of its length and numerous technical terms. The design of the article is to show frotn a medico-scientific stand point the advantages of our climate. The Doctor’s theory—nnd we believe it is the theory of our best and most progressive physicians—is that nearly all diseases, especially those of a ma larious character, are caused by cer tain germs, vegetable, we suppose, we might call them, which get into the system from the atmosphere, and produce fungous or mushroom growth in the blood and various parts of the body, and that ozone, which is one of the constituent gases of the atmos phere, is the great natural remedy and preventive of the diseases which result from this fungous growth. The well established fact that elevated lands are more healthful than low, marshy sections, is explained by the presence in the upper atmosphere of more ozone than near the sea level. We are not learned enough to pro nounce judgment upon the merits of Dr. Goss’ theory, but we are fully assured of one thing—Bellton is as healthy as any town in Georgia, ami ought, with its mineral springs and tine, climate, become a well known and well sustained summer resort. Professor Mithell, of the American Academy of Sciences, has been inves tigating the matter of pain in relation to the weather. His series of obser vations were made on a Captain of the. United States army who had lost his leg during the war, and who suf fered severely from neuralgia. The best “yield of pain” was in January, February and March, and the worst in July, August and September. The amount of pain suffered by the one legged Captain was in exact propor tion with the storms occurring throughout tin' country. A storm, hundreds of miles away, could be felt by the sufferer, ami immediately started all Ids neuralgic pains. Prof. Mitchell’s summing up was that a low pressure of the. barometer is certain to bring out all our aches and pains. The Albany News appeals to the people of the South to come to the assistance of the Memorial Associa tion of Americus, which proposes to remove to the cemetery at that place the ashes es the Confederate dead at Andersonville. It seems that the United States Government has recent ly decreased the size of the National Cemetery at Andersonville, and in consequence the graves of one hun dred and twenty-two Confederate soldiers which were within the enclo sure of the old cemetery are left unenclosed and at the mercy of cvery tlrtitg ttrrrt—will destroy or mutilate them. To effect the removal money is needed. ->-♦-0. San Antonio, Texas, June 17. The news from Mexico this morning is important. The. Express’ Laredo correspondent telegraphs : “A promi nent merchant of Laredo, Mexico, received a letter dated Monterey, June 11, staling that General Negrete, commander-in-chief of the Mexican army, had ‘pronounced’ against Diaz, withff, (women. Chief Justice Vallar has assumed the presidential chair, pro trm, which president Diaz aban doned to pursue Negrete.’’ ► ♦ King Mountain, June 17.—Train No. 47, of the Air-Line railroad, ran over a man at the 231 mile post, near King’s Mountain, N. this after noon at 2 o’clock. He was badly cut up. The train hands found a cut in his throat as if he had been stabbed first, and then put on the track. He was cold.

MAYSVILLE MATTERS. Editor Georgian : As you ask for correspondence from various parks, I , have thought that it might not be a ’ miss, in every sense of the word, for ' me to drop you a few lines. For .some time past, I have been i wishing to commend you for the high , ly moral tone and general excellence [ of your “outride” selections. I do not I mean by this to depreciate the inside, i but I do mean to say that 1 know of I ho paper, “country weekly,” or city ] quarto, whose outside is better edited. ■ This excellence alone should secure for the Georgian, at the low price at which it is offered, a place at every , fireside in the neighboring counties. I know that editors, like other mor tals, are subject to flattery, but I have not the slightest in that direc tion, believing that you are a married i man, and knowing that editors are ■ proverbially well, I don’t like to [ write what I intended; but I saw your advertisement fur a ‘local editor,' ami ' thofad.’ convinced me that if you are I (it will come) poor, you are honest, and the latter quality is the better of tlie two, ami somewhat scarcer. But what was I going to write about? Oh, I recollect now—Mays ville matters. Most of the wheat hereabouts is reaped and shocked, and the shextkers say that it is by no means a shocking crop; but its promises to be better than for several years past, will not save it from a thrashing. The corn and cotton fields arc gen erally “dean,” and give promise of j reward to the workers, for this kind attention. Maysvilb is progressing rapidly in I the musical line. At the first of the j yuiar there was not a piano or organ in or near the village; now there are four pianos (two of them splendid in struments) and two organs. Mrs. Dr. Hogan’s music class is advancing rapidly, and if she meets with as large patronage as her skill ami energy deserve, she will have as many pupils as she can attend to. Your humble correspondent thinks that the Maysville Institute, with Mrs. Hogan’s music department, af fdlds every facility for a thorough education at very moderate cost. Had you been here at the recent exhibi tion, you could have but been highly pleased with its success. There is another entertainment in preparation, that will probably come off' in the course of a month; but I do iiot feel at liberty to “tell tales out of senool, mUfl I become a more'expe rienccd reporter, and learn what not to tell.

I Near Bellton, Ga.. > June 15th, 1879. \ Dear Georgian : I attended divine ■ service to-day at ‘Lula Bridge,’ on the ; Chattahoochee river, and listened to two excellent sermons, preached bv Revs. Deavors and Austin, two good I divines. They preached to a large [concourse of people, who seemed to : be deeply impressed with the eloquent [delivery of God’s Word, and many ’ mouners called at the altar seeking i religion. I noticed two other minis ters present, Rev. Mr. Clements from [ the Glade Mines, and Rev. S. IL Gai (‘lev. from Trinity Methodist church. : Tlie meetings at ‘Lula Bridge’ are. in teresting, and should be attended by ! more people on this side of the river, [regular preaching days, the 3d Sunday rand Saturday before in each month. : There will be a protracted meeting ■here, commencing on Saturday before I the third Sunday in July, ■ The little band of Christians of the 1 Lula Bridge station are trying to get ‘ money to build them a church at the i place, on the other side of the river. . where Bell’s Chapel formerly stood, I Subscription lists are in the hands of ; W.

I)., Marietta, Ga., Professor of Materia Medtea in the Eclectic Medical College of Georgia. I see an essay this week in a news paper. headed “Ozone and its uses,” in which the writer speaks of the bioplasm disease-germ, but does not clearly define this new discovery. He says, however, “that this discovery ; compels the abandonment of the former system of physiology, and enables the scientist to construct a new one upon the enduring basis of facts.” This ought to be the case, but is not. The old Paracelsian sys tem of pathology and practice remain the same, ignoring all new discoveries of physiology and pathology. The fol lowers of the immortal Wooster Beach adopt all the recent discoveries, both in pathology and physiology. The old system of medical science is based upon the idea that disease is produced by certain unknown morbid influences and pathological conditions, that are to be expelled from the system by purges, emetics, diaphoreli .s, expec torants, diuretics and alteratives, and some give tonics, anodynes, narcotics and stimulants. That these views are erroneous we have only to notice the fatality of yellow fever, cholera, can cer, consumption, diphtheria and many other diseases. Yellow fever was de monstrated to be of germ origin by two microscopists, one at Savannah, Ga.. the other at New Orleans. It is caused from the entrance into the blood of minute spores, emitted from a certain species of parasitic fungi that is developed upon decaying animal or vegetable matter, under high tempera ture, ami a want of ozone in the atmos phere of the section. The spores of this peculiar form of fungi are so small that they readily pass through the pores of the skin and mucous membranes into the blood,which they decompose, and produce the well known phenomenon known as yellow fever. And to cure tins disease, ozone must be supplied, together with such powerful antiseptic remedies as will utterly destroy the spores of this fungi in the blood before it is decom posed. Typhoid fever, dysentery, diph theria. dyspepsia, cancer, syphilis, ca tarrh, scarlet fever, and most epidemic and contagious diseases are thus pro duced and spread in such locali ies as are deprived of ozone. To illustrate these facts, we may take our micro scope and watch the spread of -the \botritus the potato mould, which causes the potato to rot; also th<‘ tiiedn. the lemon mould, the puccinia growing upon wood, causing dry rot. It is true, that these forms of fungi jare much larger than those that cause disease in man, yes their mode of ac tion is similar. Dyspepsia, a disease that troubles many persons through : life, is generally first produced by over-eating or hasty eating, causing I fermentation, which is the generation of torula vantrieulii— the east plant. Various forms of the animal parasite [called fusciuln, generate rapidly in the body, and produce disease. It is a well known fact now to all good [ microscopists, that skin diseases are ; caused by varieties of the parasitic fungi called aehorion srlumlrimi. Can ■ eer is caused by a parasite called \riialoma ::cii rlmxii, which permeates and destroys the flesh. Catarrh is [caused by a parasite called amaba. Diphtheria has been demonstrated to be caused from a parasite called diplo spmium and is quickly cured by antiseptic, washes, and remedies that act antiseptieally upon the blood. All these forms of parasitical fungi can be destroyed by proper antisep tics. No man can investigate disease without a good microscope. And it is passingly strange to see what preju dice medical men cultivate to every new discovery, either in pathology or therapeutics. When Schonbien, a cele brated German chemist, forty years ago, discovered a new ariform sub stance, which he called ozone,) a Greek name for odor.) no one seems to have noticed his discovery, or as sisted him in utilizing this very supe rior antiseptic. Such is its'germ destroying power, that upon mountain situations no epidemic pestiferous va pors can long remain. Such localities are exempt from yellow fever and other like diseases. This fact was tested at Chattanooga last vear by many families moving upon Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga. Not only does ozone destroy all the small forms of parasitical fungi, but there are other medicines that destroy many of them. Sulphur is well known to destroy many of them. Sulphurus acid and the sulphites, made from it, also destroy many of those living entities. Eucalyptus globulus will de stroy many septic germs, such as form on the tonsils in diphtheria, ami upon wounds in gangrene. Many skin dis eases are caused by living parasites, and only to be cured by using such mineral and vegetable remedies as destroy these parasitical formations. Sulphur is known to destroy many of them, such as itch and drv tetters. Sulphurus acid and the sulphites, cure, prurigo and other diseases of like na ture. The sulphites destroy the torula vantrieulii in dyspepsia, and thereby arrest fermentation Fermentation cannot be produced or maintained in a moderately strong solution of the 1 sulphites of soda or potash. QuiniaJ Euealyptin, arsenic and some other ! chemicals, destroy malaria, and there by cure marsh fevers. This fact has been demonstrated for raanv years.' ana anti-parasitical remedies above namw .„f, «,ith as much or more certainty than we have only to apply them ’to u., con . vinced of the truth of this assertiou. Sabadilla veratrum has been lately proven to destroy the amaba. anil thereby arrest hay-fever at ouoe. Per manganate of potash destroys putres [ cency anywhere. j The invalids are often at a loss what Ito do to invigorate their debilitated ! body—to restore their wanted health. Friends may advise to seek some vaunted watering place in the moun tains. which has been published by ; the avaricious vampire who owns it, 'as the greatest leatth-iettorer in the world: others advise some certain locality, perhaps perfectly unsuitable to his or her coi.diiion, and they are perplexed to know where to go. Let all such know that any place ten or twelve hundred feet above the sea level cannot fail to furnish the invig -1 orating gas. called ozone, which al ways mingles with the air at such ' altitudes.-B-llton, Ga., and Marietta, Ga., possess these advantages. They i are on very elevated situations, and hence have a highly ozonized atmos phere, which cannot fail to assist in the recovery cf lost health and vigor. Besides an air titled with ozone, Bell ton has two chalybeate springs, containing iron, but manga -1 uese. lithia, magnesia, sulphur and other minerals, which make the water highly ozonizid and very invigorating. [ Persons from low and unhealthy locali ties, will not only find a cool and pleas ant summer retreat, but air and water to aid in the restoration of lost health. , Board being cheap and good. Bellton presents attractions equaled by few pieces in upper Georgia or elsewhere. And I may state that I am not inter . ested in Bellton. but write for the benefit of invalids who may wish to come, etc. A(’Tr T AL_BUSINESS.
