wish him a prosperous voyage, great

not, nor never did, belong to the Rad
ical party, but, on the contrary, has
been a Democrat from boyhood.

loops the right brim, with a front
shield surmounted with the initials R.
H. resting upon crossed sabers.
The Fire Companies. —As the Fire
Department has decided to join the
procession to-morrow in a body, it is
suggested that each steamer company
join it with their apparatus, drawn by
their fine horses. They would present
a beautiful appearance and add eclat
to the occasion.

call attention to Father Butler’s excur
sion to Atlanta, which will give an ex
cellent opportunity for all who wish to
visit the Gate City and return for the
insignificant sum of $2.50 the round
trip. For purposes of business or
pleasure this excursion offers unusual
advantages. We doubt not many per
sons will avail themselves of this ex
cellent chance of getting a great deal
for a very small sum.
The Mecklenburg Centennial. —The
Mecklenberg Centennial Celebration,
which is to take place at Charlotte, N.
C., May 29th, 1875, promises to attract
a very large number of people desiring
to witness the ceremonies attendant
upon it. The Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad managers, with the
true liberality for which they are
noted, have published reduced rates of
fare for persons desiring to attend the

St. James’ Association.
On last Wednesday night a com
mittee, selected from the membership
and congregation of St. James’ Metho
dist Church, were entrusted with-the
duty of preparing a constitution and
by-laws for the St. James’ Association.
The committee will report on Monday
night at the church. Tim attendance
of every member of St. James’ Church
and congregation is important to the
perfection of the organization.
This is not a Young Men’s Christian
Association—there is a most admir
able one in active, useful operation in
this city—but an association of all
ages and both sexes, for the purposes
of religious improvement, mutual
help, active labor, sacred singing and
rational recreation. It is hoped that by
means of it the members of a large
church and congregation may become
better acquainted, co-operate more
heartily in all church work, assist each
other more effectively In times of sick
ness and misfortune, cultivate love for
and skill in sacred singing, and offer
to young and old some forms of recrea
tion free from evil tendencies, consist
ing chiefly of addresses, recitations,
lectures, and conversations upon pleas
ant and improving themes. All mem
bers of the church, and all members of
the congregation, are invited to unite
in the St. James’Association. Mem
bers of other churches and congrega
tions will be most heartily welcomed
to all public meetings of the Associa
tion. The weekly meetings will occur,
probably, on Monday nights.

MEMORIAL DAY.
A Grand Celebration Monday—Lay
ing of the Corner Stone of the Con
federate Monument—Decoration of
the Graves of tne Confederate Dead.
Memorial, or Decoration Day, occur
ing on the 26th of April in the South,
has sineo 1865 become one of the most
important days yet known in this sec
tion. The Legislature has made it a le
gal holiday, and in previous years
since the war business was completely
suspended during the ceremonies at
tendant upon the decoration of the
graves of the Confederate dead in our
cemetery.
The Ladies’ Memorial Association
request that to-morrow merchants
generally will suspend business and
close their stores, an they have done in
the past, and that every one-clerks,
employes, employers, and all others —
will attend the ceremonies.
The procession will be formed at 2:30
o’clock, at the Bell Tower. The order
of the procession, with the different
participating organizations, is publish
ed in our advertising colums this
morning. Maj. J. V. H. Allen will be
Marshal of the Day, with a number of
Assistant Marshals. All organizations
intending to participate are requested
to report at 2:15 o’clock Monday after
noon, at the points designated in the
official announcement.
ladies’ meeting at the cemetery.
A large number of the ladies of Au
gusta and vicinity met yesterday after
noon, at 5 o’clock, at the soldiers’ sec
tion in the Cemetery, for the purpose of
completing arrangements for the deco
ration of the soldiers’ graves. Those
ladies who had taken special charge of
tho graves of certain soldiers who had
been under their care while sick in this
city and died here, and also those ex
pecting to decorate graves of soldiers
buried in private sections were re
quested to indicate the -graves they
were to decorate so that other ladies
briuging fiowers would not encroach
upon them. The ladies meeting de
cided to request the ladies generally
and all others who desired to -bring
flowers, to appear at; the cemetary Mon
day morning and decorate the graves
before 2 o’clock, so that nothing should
be left to be done after the arrival of
the procession—outside of the cere
monies. All the bodies of the deceas
ed Confederate soldiers in the City
Cemetary have been removed to the
Soldiers Section and marble heads, on
which are the names of each with the
State from which they come, placed on
each. In the centre of this section there
is placed a beautiful small fountain. The
whole square is well laid off and pre
sents a most attractive appearance.
There are 357 graves of Confederates
in this section, besides a number in
terred in private sections.
The ladies of the Memorial Associa
tion hope that all the ladies and oth
ers interested will concentrate their
efforts towards decorating the soldiers’
graves on Memorial Day, the only day
in the year when the graves of the
brave Confederates are decorated. The
ladies are requested to go to tho Cem
etery early on Monday morning.
Mr. Robert W. Potter has presented
the association with the following coins,
37 pieces, to be placed in the corner
stone : 1 Russian ruble, 1834 ; 1 reichs
thaler, Frederick the Great, 1765 ; 1
crown, George 111.. 1817 ; several pieces
of different denominations Danish and
Norwegian skillings. Swiss and French
francs and smaller coins; Swedish,
German, Austrian, Hungarian, Spanish
and South American coins ; two Italian
pieces, Pope’s issue.
What follows below has been fur
nished us by the L. M. A. A.:
Origin and Progress of the Ladies’
Memorial Association of Augusta.
In 1868, the Ladies’ Hospital and
Relief Association, existing at the close
of the war and fox - years previous
iu Augusta, merged into a Monument
tal Society for the purpose of raising a
fund, as soon as practicable, to erect iu
this city a suitable monument to the
Lost Cause and to the fallen heroes in
the struggle from Richmond county.
The (now styled) Ladies’ Memorial As
sociation was organized at Masonic
Hall, April 10th, 1868, when the follow
ing ladies were elected as its officers :
President, Mrs. Dr. John Carter ; Vice-
President, Mrs. H. 11. Steiner; Secre
tary and Treasurer, Mrs. John T. Mill
er. On account of the depressed
condition of the country at that
time, and the clomise of both
the President and Vice-President, not
a long while after its organization, the
Association made but little progress in
its work the first few years. The ladies
having the interests of the cause at
heart however, effected a reorganiza
tion of the Association March 31st,
1873, since which time, owing to the
hearty co-operation of our citizens—
the success of its efforts, has been both
gratifying and astonishing, as a state
ment of the Treasurer shows that at
the date of reorganizing, the whole sum
in the Treasury was $158.50, and now
after the lapse of two years, the fund
reaches to $12,000. The prime object
of the Memorial Association was to
erect a monument as above stated, but
it has assumed the additional expense
of caring for the graves of the Con
federate dead in the City Cemetery.
While it was not incumbent upon the
Association to do this, yet the ladies
realizing that these strangers from
other counties and States, died in
the same cause with their fathers,
brothers and sons, could not see
their graves neglected and all tra
ces of their names and resting
places obliterated from the earth. It
was therefore resolved by the officers
to gather the remains of these stran
ger dead into one section, and inclose
this, to render the cars of these graves
more practicable. This work has been
done, and the old, fast decaying head
boards, which in a year or two would
have been utterly defaced and lost,
are removed and replaced with neat
marble stones, inscribed with the name
and native State of each soldier buried
there. To secure the identity of all
these graves, so there could be no mis
take, if it should ever be desirable to
disinter the remains from any one of
them, the ladies have a book, in whicn
is a a diagram of the inelosure, with all
the graves numbered carefully, and the
name, native State, regiment and com
pany to which the soldier belonged,
recorded in connection therewith. The
Confederate section is now an orna
ment to our City Cemetery, and the
care of it will ever be a sacred duty of
the ladies of Augusta, Tho Associa
tion hopes to see, at an early day, the
final consummation of its labors in a
memorial column on Broad street,
whioh will reflect honor upon the
present, and glory to future genera
tions. The ladles constituting the
present corps of officers in the Memo
rial Association are—President: Mrs.
M. E. Walton ; Secretary and Treasurer
Mrs. John T. Miller; Vice-Presidents
(representing tho various religious de
nominations), Mrs. John M. Adams,

will please do so at an early day, that
they may be inscribed with these on
the Confederate Monument.
According to the usual custom on
Memorial Day, the cont ribution boxes
will be placed at the gates of the Ceme
tery to-morrow, and it is sincerely
hoped that every person going within
the enclosure during the entire day will
deposit something (if only five or ten
cents,) in order that the monumental
fund may be largely increased. Let
the contributions on this day, when the
corner-stone of the monument will be
laid, be larger than on any precepding
26th of April, and be indeed an offer
ing worthy the cause and occasion. All
persons are earnestly requested to con
tribute also to the decorations at the
Cemetery, by bringing or sending flow
ers in the morning, as it is desirable to
have all this accomplished in the fore
noon. Ladies having more flowers
than they they can use themselves
are most sincerely requested to send
them to the Cemetery Chapel during
the early hours of the day, for the ac
commodation of persons who may not
have any, but who would take pleasure
in arranging them into wreaths, gar
lands and bouquets for the floral exhi
bition. Let all send flowers, in small
and large quantities, remembering it
is a sacred privilege engaged in only
once a year, of scattering these tributes
of love o’er the graves of our fallen
heroes. Officers L. M. A. A.
THE FEDERAL DEAD.
The Sentiments of Southern Women.
Last evening a letter was sent by a
gentleman of this city to Mrs. M. E.
Walton, President of the Ladies’ Me
morial Association, asking “in view of
the kindly feeling recently manifested
by Northern men for Southern sol
diers, and of the fact that at several
places in the North the graves of the
Southern dead have been remembered
when those of Federal soldiers
were decorated, would it not be well
for the Association to have flowers
placed upon the graves of the Federal
dead in th 9 Augusta Cemetery next
Monday.” The writer also stated that
it would be “a graceful and a fitting
tribute to the valor of a former foe,”
and gave an assurance that if the sug
gestion should be adopted the associa
tion would have the hearty co-opera
tion of the Confederate soldiers and of
the citizens of Augusta generally.
Mrs. Walton at once returned the
following answer :
“ During the war Mrs. Dr. Steiner
and myself daily visited two wards in
the hospital for sick and wounded sol
diers—one a Confederate and the
other a Federal—and they shared alike
of the nourishment we carried. We
did so then from humanity, hoping our
soldiers would meet with similar con
sideration on Northern soil. I now
propose, on our Decoration Day, that
we reciprocate to any Federal dead in
our midst the respect that has recent
ly been shown to the Confederate dead.
A Hoa Case —ikon Sckne. — Oa Fri
day there was tried iu the Superior
Court a case between Gardner Pepper,
an American citizen of color, and R. D.
Boyd, a gentleman living about ten
miles from the city. The issue seems
to have been an action of trover for
the recovery of two sows—a bob-tailed
black sow and a long-tailed listed sow,
and nineteen pigs. The case had been
last Summer in the County Court, on a
possessory warrant, and the hogs were
awarded to the possession of Mr. Boyd,
because found in his quiet possession.
This left the question of title still
open, and to try which this action or
trover was brought. H. C. Foster,
Esq., represented Pepper, and Judge
W. R. McLaws Mr. Boyd. Pepper tes
tified : “ I know dese here hogs ; dey
b’long to my wife; she raised dem;
Is’e been acquainted wid dem ebber
since dare burth ; I found dem in Mr.
Boyd’s pen ; he sayed he buyed dem
from Mr. Twiggs, but I know dey are de
same hogs what my wife fotch up ;
I took out a warrant for him before
Grandison Harris, (colored Justice), but
Mr. Boyd sayed he would’nt sarve
under it, and I was afeerd I could’nt git
jestice, before dis here magistrate, so
I come to Judge Snead. He act like
perfect gentleman, when he try dis
case, but say he unable to tackle with
it, case he see some ting wrong, but
never say what. He say he gwine leve
de hogs whare he find dem, and de case
would hab to go up to de Sperior
Court, daw hisen. Well I went home
specting for de case to go fore
de big court, but when I come to
de city and find . dat my lawyer
run off wid de case stead of done
fotching him up to de big court
I went fur dis here gentleman (mean
ing Air. Foster) and got him far to
fetch de case up. I can’t read no writ
ing no more than a tree, but I know
dat bob-tailod sow my sow, and dat
long-tailed sow my sow, and all de pig
blong to dem.” There was much evi
dence pro and ron as to identity, etc.
When the evidence had closed the at
torneys decided to allow their respec
tive clients to argue their own cases.
Pepper opened by saying : Air. Jury,
dese am my hogs, and I knows dey is,
and I came for de white folks to gib
me tyy property, for I am pur
fectly willing fur to lib under dis
here guberment, for I hab seed
de white people and the women
ar.d children, and de colored folks
put der shoulder to de wheel and fetch
his here souf back on her foot whare
she was before, and I know if you
gentlemen take the same views of dis
here country what I do, you gwine gib
me dem hogs.” He here bowed to the
court and jury, and “stepped down and
out.” Mr. Boyd argued his side very
briefly, but Pepper was the winner, for
in a few minutes the jury returned a
verdict for Pepper for seventy-five dol
lars, the value of his hogs. Pepper re
tired happy in the belief “dat de big
court am de place to git justice, and
he’s gwine to speak to de jury hisself
eber time he bab’s a case.”

Like to Obtain.— No doubt the pub
lic would like to obtain what it re
quires at as cheap a rate as possible,
and many times are induced to pur
chase the cheapest articles they can
procure, overlooking the fact that al
though professedly cheapest they are
in reality the dearest in the end. Take
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder and
his True Flavoring Extracts, and they
may cost a few cents more than the
common kinds, yet they are the cheap
est, for they require one-third less in
quantity, and when used in cakes, pies
puddings, &c., make them splendid and
also wholesome. We have yet to see
the housewife that was not satisfied
with these articles. As there are pow
ders sold in bulk for Dr. Price’s—which
are not his—be sure to get the genu
ine, put up in cans securely labelled,
and made only by Steele & Price.

Promissory Notes Due on Holidays.
Mr. Editor: Ts a promissory note, fall
ing due April 26th, 1b75, payable on Satur
day, April 24th, or Tuesday. April 27th?
The General Assembly, by act of Feb
ruary 23d. 1375, section 1, enacted that April
26th should be a holiday, and deemed all
notes falling due on that day payable on
the secular or business day next preceding
such holiday.
By section 2d it was enacted that when
the 26th fell on Sunday the Monday next
following should be rleamed a holiday, and
the notes which would otherwise bo pre
sentable for payment on Monday, should
be deemed presentable on Tuesday.
By section 3 it was enacted that when a
note falls duo on Sunday, whether it is
either of the days named as a holiday, the
same is payable on Saturday.
If the holiday was any other secular day
than Monday, the note would fall due the
day before; aud, as the act provides that
Monday shall be celebrated for Sunday,
when tfie holiday falls on Sunday, aud in
that event gives the maker until Tuesday
to pay, the question arises whether the
maker is not entitled until Monday to pay,
when Monday is itself the holiday, as when
celebrated for Sunday. Ido not think so.
The giving until Tuesday to pay, I think,
exists where a day is celebrated as such on
which the holiday does mot fall; but where
the day of the holiday is known to fall on a
secular day, the next business day preced
ing is the day of payment, whether Punday
intervenes or not. A Lawyer.
