THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, June 25, 1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
A third paper is to start in Gaines
ville. The twc printed there now are
the best country weeklies which come
to this office.
The citizens or Columbus met at the
Court House recently to “ discuss the
feasibility of setting on foot and sus
taining” a female college.
Columbus reports a 53,000 blaze Sun
day morning, by which Messrs. Spy res,
Simons, McMichael, and Mrs. Staude
ford were losers above insurance to the
tuue of $3,000. The Times says Mr.
Simons hail a “ considerable stock of
goods, which wtis about equally divid
ed by the liames and the ‘ boys.” The
firemen did all in their power.”
Sumter Republican: Mr. R. D. Ap
plewhite, of Webster county, killed an
alligator eight feet long on Kinchafoo
nee creek, a few days ago. It was
cleaned and cooked, and a number of
citizens in the neighborhood were in
vited to the feast. From one who par
took of the meat, we learn it was deli
cious.
War Bulletin of the Gwinnett Herald:
Now, in those days the town Marshal
of Lawreuceville went about seeking
whom he could devour, and found
none—no, not one)—for the Cainanites,
the Harbinites, and the Ben-Smithites.
and the tall sons of Hog Mountain, and
those who came from over the Yellow
Hatehie, and even from beyond Big
Haynes, and those who were wont to
lie in wait, no longer drank the fire
water. And behold! there was peace
iu the land and all the country round
about there. Selah!
The annual commencements of Geor
gia colleges and schools are now going
on. They will continue for full two
months, the S'ate University being
about the last. The colleges are un
usually full of students, whilst primary
and common schools have more schol
ars than ever known even before the
war. The common school system of
the State is working well, and this, as
well as all others, is receiving the full
endorsement of the people at large,
recognizing the fact that if a parent
turns loose an ignorant child upon this
advanced age he never can rise above
the dignity of a scavenger or common
laborer.
Borne Commercial: But Rome has
more than the water works now; she
has a factory. It is not a eottou but a
shoe factory. We were suprised, yes
terday, to learn on what a scale it is to
be run. Mr. Bangley tolls us that he
will keep fifty shoemakers employed.
We saw there yesterday lasts enough
to last forever. But the biggest thing
we saw was the machine for sewing
boots and shoes. It is made on the
principle of an ordinary sewing ma
chine but of course is much larger and
more complicated. Mr. Langley has to
pay a royalty on every pair of boots or
shoes that he makes, ami the machine
has an attachment that will register
every stich taken, up as high as ten
millions: thus the machine keeps its
owq account. It will sew the soles on
a pair of boots in twenty-two seconds.
We advise those who wish to see some
thing new, to step into Langley’s and
see not only this machine but how he
is fixing up to shoe the world.
Someone from Augusta has written
an anonymous communication to the
editor of the Gainesville Southron, be
cause that editor invited Gen. Long
street to become a citizen of his town.
The following is the document:
‘‘PaiNt youß SKiN BlacK Let him
lead his neGROES aoainst you your
women & children & all then whitE
people of Ga will rejoice — . A whitE
man who would even speaK to him is
not worthy the name of a georgian A
capt who saw 4 yekrs acTive service
under him Got some i.yE Soap & wash
youß self &if you caN lixd a Decent
wan that will bußßy you let him doit.”
Whereupon the Southron goes for
the writer in the following stjle : “If
iie were ever a ‘ capt ’ iu the Confeder
ate army he was cashiered for cow
ardice and publicly whipped for deser
tion. If he saw ‘four yerrs’ service’
under Gen. Longstreet it was in the
Custom House of new Orleans, which
he was forced to leave for stealiug, and
now goes for the General for having
detected him in his thieving, and us
for haviDg asked Gen. Longstreet to
locate among us. The idea that such a
man should have held a commission
under the Confederate Government is
ridiculous. No brave and true man
would make such a stab in the back as
this. If he had been a ‘ red hot rebel ’
he would have signed his name. He is
ii cowardly brute, who never saw a
Yankee during the war unless he was
a prisoner.” “A capt. who saw four
yerrs’ active service under him ” now
has the floor.
Macon Telegraph: The talk on the
street is that times are tight beyond all
measure, and beyond all reason. That
the banks have drawn in all their
strings and tied them in a hard knot,
aud it is a difficult matter to collect a
cent o£ anybody, although his wallet
may be full, because, “you know, times
are so tight.” This kind of mental
hallucination, indeed, has been epidem
ic for a couple of years or so; but is
now worse than ever. The fact is, the
trade of Macon, just now, is so light
that if people would pluck up courage
and pay out freely there would be plen
ty of money for all purposes ; but
there is not nerve enough to try the
experiment. A five dollar bill will pay
live hundred dollars of indebtedue-s a
day if you will only keep it moving
fast enough; but to sit with it crammed
frto a corner of your vest pocket,
groaning over tight times, is more
commo'u than wise. Why the times
should bd tighter than were a
month ago id a hard question to an
swer ; but we bwUove there is no better
reason for it than thf general assump
tion that they are tighter, and a cor
respondingly "tighter grip on the means
in hand. Let up freely aud the trouble
would vanish, or mitigate amazingly,
Sumter Republican: On Thursday
afternoon, the 17th instant, Rev. Isaac
Hart, of Schley county, had his dwell
ing house and out-houses all consumed
by fire, Everything in the way of fur
niture, bedding and wearing apparel of i
Mr. Hart and family, as well as that of
liis son’s, Dr. Franklin Hart and family,
who were liviag in the same house, was
destroyed. Besides this loss, the crib
which contained corn, meat,flour, meal,
lard, syrup, etc., was also burned. The
dwelling house was a substantial two
story wooden building, elegantly fur
nished throughout with fine furniture,
whiid the out-houses were mostly
new. The entire loss sustained
will not "all short of nine thousand
dollars, and falls with heavy weight
upon Mr. Hart, who is an old man,
being too far advanced in life ever
to regain his loss. The fire originated
in the poultry-house, where Mrs. Hart
had been smoking mites. It is suppos
ed that a spark must have lodged in
some corner of the house, among some
dry stubble, for it was not long after
Mrs. H. had left when it was discover
ed to be in flames. The fire was soon
communicated to other out-buiidings,
and from thence to the dwelling-house.
The only persons on the premises at
the time were some little children and
the two Mrs. Harts, who could do noth
ing but look on the devouring element
as it was doing its work of destruction.
Rev. Mr. Hart is a Baptist minister,
and has been preaching the Gospel in
this section for the last thirty years.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
REMINISCENCES.
An Interview With Col. Lewis Elzey,
Near Aiken, S. C.
[Edgefield Advertiser ]
Reporter—What is your age, Colonel
Elzey ?
“I am 83 years old ; was born in Vir
ginia before the revolutionary war ;
was a lieutenant in the regular army
during the war of 1812 ; encamped at
Lower Sandusky, on Lake Erie, during
the naval fight of Commodore Perry ;
could hear the guns and see the smoke,
but could not sec the vessels.”
Reporter—You are not a graduate or
West Point, how did you get a commis
sion iu the regular army ?
“Well, at that time there were not
more than four or five graduates in the
whole army. Scott was not a gradu
ate. I got my commission by the re
commendation of a member of Con
gress.”
Rep—Did you return to private life
after the close of the war ?
“Yes, I went back to Virginia.”
Rep—You knew many of the cele
brated men of your State?
“I knew Jefferson, Monroe, Chief
Justice Marshall, John Randolph and
others. When President Monroe re
turned to Virginia, his term of Presi
dent having expired, he took the posi
tion of Magistrate in Loudon county
aud acted for a good many years; but the
office of Magistrate in those days was
always filled by men of talent and emi
nent character—not like the d—d Trial
Justices of these days, for they are the
greatest curses in the annals of time.
The oldest Magistrate of the county, in
those days became sheriff, al
though they never occupied the posi
tion, but farmed it out and gave
the proceeds to charitable purposes. I
knew Jefferson by sight; he frequently
came up in the country where 1 lived,
near Winchester. He was very popu
lar with the common people. Chief
Justice Marshall was a very plain
man in his dress aud mauuers—very
much like Chancellor Harper of this
State. I have often seen him with his
knee buckles loose, flapping about his
legs, and some times half of his coat
tail would be off. We used to laugh at
him about helping an old woman catch
her chickens, who had brought them
to town for sale. They got out of her
basket and Mr. Marshall ran all over
the streets to catch them for her.”
Rep.—Did Chief Justice Marshall
have any brothers.”
“Yes, Charles and Jim. Charles was
dissipated. Jim was immensely
wealthy but would never hold any
office.”
Rep.—Was not this plainness of
dress affected by Mr. Marshall?
• “No ; all the Marshalls were that way.
Jim Marshall dressed his children so
badly tbat they once complained to my
father that they were not dressed as
well as the other children in the neigh
borhood. My father spoke to Jim
about it, and ho said : ‘Capt. Elzey,
people know that Jim Marshall is rich
—very rich—and what is the use for
him to dress his children so fine ? You
can spoil children very easily. When
you used to come to my father’s house
I have many a time hunted eggs for
your dinner in my shirt tail.’ Chief
Justice Marshall once sent word to a
Mr. Duvall, with whom he was not per
sonally acquainted, that he and family
would dine with him on a certain day.
When the day arrived, Mr. Marshall
rode on before and his carriage with
family came on behind. When he
reached Mr. Duvall’s house, ho asked
if he could get dinner. Duvall said :
‘No, you can’t get dinner ; I am expect
ing Judge Marshall and family to din
ner, and as they are very fine people I
should not like to present you to them.’
The Chief Justice responded that ho
knew Mr. Marshall’s family very well
and he believed he would stop anyhow.
Duvall was very much taken down
when he found that his ordinary look
ing guest was the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.”
Rep.—When did you come to South
Carolina ?
“ I came to Chatloßton, S. C., in 181(1,
with a drove of horses, made lots of
money on them, and got on a spree.
Horses were worth more then than
they are now, that is, fine horses. Fine
horses are worth more in Kentucky
than they are here. When I first came
to Edgefield, in 181(1, there was plenty
of game in the woods; we once, inn
camp hunt, killed eleven deer on Shaw’s
creek. There was a paper published at
Edgefield then by Mr. Landrum, called
The Hive."
Rep.—Who were the lawyers of Edge
field in 181(5, and what kind of lawyers
were they?
“ There was Glascock, Edmund Ba
con, Jeter, Etdred Simkins, McDuffie.
Edmund Bacon was a line speaker,
graceful iu manners and gesture, very
cunning in his arguments, and had the
most musical voice I have ever heard.
Eldred Simkirs was a book-worm.—
Jeter was Solicitor, and a very sensible,
practical and short speaker. McDuffie
was a great orator, but he was awk
ward in his manners in private, and got
very much excited in speaking—sawed
the air with his hands. Glascock was
a forcible speaker, but never studied
his cases—used frequently to hunt
foxes all the morning and make an
argument in the evening. I never
knew him to study but one case,
and that was a case he had in Beau
fort, in which he defended a man by
the name of Spavins against a man
by the name of Spikes. Ho went down
to court three days beforehand, and
there heart! for the first time that Peti
gru and Billy Martin (Judge W. D.
Martin) were on the other side, ‘and by
G—d,’ said he, ‘I had to study. I re
member one remark he made to the
jury. ‘Spikes, gentlemen of the jury,
is the plaintiff in this suit, and he has
tried to spike this ca3e, not with ten
penny nails either, but if you, gentle
men, don’t spike Spikes, I am mis
taken.’ He gained his case. Nathan
Griffin came to the bar afterwards,
about 1821. I think he was in partner
ship with Judge Butler, and never made
a speech until after they dissolved, and
they were partners ten or twelve years.
Mr. Griffin then became one of the most
effective jury lawyers in the State,. His
style was conversational, which always
wins in the long run. Air. Griffin was
a good judge of human nature and an
excellent examiner of witnesses; he
was very punctilious and systematic.
I was not a great admirer of Mr. Cal
houn. Air. Griffin once said to me,
‘Elzey, Calhoun is ten years ahead of
his age.’ ‘Well/ said I, ‘if ho is that
far ahes4 I shan’t try to catch him.’
Judge Gant used to hold court in Edge
field when I first came here. He was a
fancy man. I remember he once lec
tured on temperance while he lived at
Mt. Vintage —met me the next day—
‘Elzey/ said he, ‘J didn’t mean that for
you, but for them d-rd A’a in your
neighborhood; for the drunker they get
the more religion they have.”

LETTER FROM COLUMBIA.
Description of the City Water Worts.
The Supply and Prices —Splendid
Crops.
Columbia, S. C., June 22d, 1875.
Having a few leisure moments, I pro
pose, with your consent, to give your
readers a general description of the
way that the people of this city obtain
that very necessary element, water.—
(They take their whiskey straight,
pretty much as the Augustans do
theirs.)
The water works here are owned by
a company known as the Columbia
Water Tower Company, of which ex-
Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, is
Principal, and are under the direct
management of Mr. G. Pearce as agent,
who very kindly aud courteously ex
tended every facility to your corres
pondent to examine the works. The
pumps are of the kind known as rotary,
and were made bj Fales, Jenks & Sons,
Pawtucket, R. 1., and are the same size
and make of pump as those in use at
the Augusta and Langley cotton fac
tories for protection against fire. This
city has six of them, so arranged that
they can be used singly or the six to
gether. The pump house is situated
upon tie bank of the river, above the
State Prison and about one mile from
the city. The water supply for use in
the city is collected from different
springs in the immediate vicinity of the
pumps, and is carried by means of pipes
to a basin, where, it can be filtered,
if rendered necessary by continued
raiDS or other disturbing causes. The
water is then drawn from this basin by
the pumps and forced to the elevated
reservoir in the upper part of the city,
at an elevation of 210 feet above the
pump house and some seventy (70) feet
above the general level of the city,
giving Columbia about two-thirds of
the hydrant pressure that Augusta
has. The amouut of watei used daily
by the city is two hundred and seventy
five thousand (275,000) gallons. This
seems small when compared with Au
gusta’s 1,400,000 gallons daily. The
city contract with the company for the
supply of water delivered at the ele
vated reservoir, and then distribute it
through their owu pipes to the citizens
aud collect the water rates.
The charges for water are much
higher here than in Augusta, being
from $8 to S2O for hydrants in dwelling
houses; fountains, S2O; printing presses,
$5; bar ruoms, $25. There is also a
special charge for lot fronts.
The Crops
of cotton and corn on the line of the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail
road are in splendid condition, in good
color and well worked ; iu fact, I have
never seen them better, and I trust
that with the present prospect of a
good crop and a continually improving
State government that the good people
of the old Palmetto State may rise
proudly from that mire of despond
into which Radical rule has driven her.
Hydraulic.
Abbeville Items.
Mr. aud Mrs. H. C. Pinckney, of
Charleston, are in town on a visit to
Dr. J. W. W. Marshall’s. We welcome
them back to old Abbeville and trust
that they may spend a pleasant Sum
mer in our midst.
We regret to make the painful an
nouncement, this week, that after a
protracted illuess, Mrs. Susan Osteen,
relict of the late Gabriel Osteen, died at
her residence, on Saturday, the sth
instant, in the neighborhood of Bethel
Church, in Privateer Township, in this
county. A good woman has gone to
her rest.
A storm of wind with but little rain
visited our town Wednesday, and rais
ing clouds of dust, threatened for a
time serious damage to all within its
reach. We escaped however with no
loss save a few limbs torn from the
trees. The storm came from the North
and seems to have been general
throughout the State and county. In
Anderson the roof of the Court House
was rolled up and blown off.
The heavy rains on Saturday night
washed away the gi'eater part of the
trestle of our branch road, about a
mile from town, so that this part of
the road is now impassable and pas
sengers are transferred to separate
trains. The trestle on this side of
Long Cane was also injured, and one
of the spans fell as an extra engine
was passing on Sunday, but without
damage to the engine. The road is
sadly out of repair, and is dangerous
to life and limb.
William Giles, a colored man of the
Hopewell neighborhood, was lodged in
jail here on Sunday, by Mr. M. O. Me-
Csaslan, the efficient constable of Trial
Justice Talmau, charged with shooting
and wounding fatally a small colored
girl seven years of age. He had been
to the village and got drunk on mean
whiskey, aud on his return stopped at
a house about a mile from home, cre
ated a disturbance, and picking up a
loaded double-barreled gun, discharged
both barrels, wounding perhaps fatally
the little girl. The gun was loaded
with large shot, and one load took ef
fect in the child’s breast. She lies in a
critical condition.
Greenwood Items.
The wind storm in this section on
the 16th inst. was terrible, doing great
damage to the growing crops, scorch
ing up fields of cotton and unroofing
houses. Since them we have had a hail
storm ahd plenty of rain.
The grain crops have been harvested
and were never better, (lie Fall crop
especially. Who cares if greenbacks
are scarce, when oats answer for a
good currency ? Mr. Thomas Jones
has the finest field of cotton in this sec
tion—it is knee high and blooming.
Donaldsville Items.
We had a terrible storm last Wed
nesday evening that did great damage
in the way of destroying fences and
blowing down trees. The rain was not
heavy, but ou Friday and Saturday
evenings we had good showers that
will benefit the crops. The crops are
generally good in this section.
We have a good school here, with
Mr. Win. Archer as teacher. He is the
right man in the right place.
Some of our young men have been
urging their suit for the bliss of matri
mony, but without success. We would
advise them to try again. Nothing like
perseverence. Somo of the younger
ones have been heard to exclaim: “O,
if I were only twenty-one!”
MOODY AND SANKEY.
Re-affirmation that They are Run by
Barnum.
| New York Times.)
Messrs. Moody and Sankey—who, we
are credibly informed, were sent over
to England by Mr. Barnum as a mere
“ speculation ” are bent upon trying to
“convert” the boys at Eaton. The
Governors of the school object, and
the affair has been the subject of in
quiries in the Rouse of Ijords. The
Moody and Sankey fever in England
has been a mystery to everybody on
this side the Atlantic, and can only be
accounted for on the theory of the
grave-digger in “Hamlet,” that in
England everybody is mad.

Only a Picture.
[From the Vicksburg Herald.]
The following beautiful poem from the
pen of a former well-known and esteemed
resident of Vicksburg, Edward A. Jenks,
was an original contribution to the Herald
four years ago. It is published to gratify
some of our readers, who have seen but do
not possess a copy of it:
Under the snow-white sheet she lies,
Helen, my beautifull Helen, my true!
Softly the morning breaks over the skies,
Softly regretful stars kiss her adieu!
Lies she there seeming
So blissfully dreaming,
Fragrant her rose-lips as breath of the
morn.
No one shall lisp her
Name, even in whisper—
She’s roaming where fairyland fancies are
born.
Clustering clouds of dark, passionate hair,
Frown back the venturous b ams of the
sun,
Hidden, but meageriy—shapely and rare—
Round, white, soft mysteries, wait to be
won.
Seemingly bolder.
One Parian shoulder,
Purity’s self, dims the pillow below—
While, thrown above her
Head—who could but love her?
A round arm lies white as the shimmering
snow.
Parting, as clouds part when summer winds
blow—
Heavenly wonders unveiling above—
So part the gauze clouds, revealing below
Opaline m ountains in gardens of love—
Soft undulations.
Like music’s vibrations—
Coursing light-footed the silvery strings—
Seen like the ocean
In jubilant motion—
Breaking its burden of beautiful things.
Waking, as wakes the young bird in its
nest,
Baby “Nell” opens her wondering eyes—
Climbs where the lush mountains bear on
their crest
Strawberries ripe as the ruddiest skies
There among treasures,
In beautiful measures,
Roguish-eyed, cherry-lipped, pink-footed
Nell,
Drinks from a chalice,
The king in his palace
Might baiter his crown for—and barter it
well.
