GEORGIA GENERAL NEWsT
Tom Butler, County Surveyor of
Bibb, is dead. Congestion.
The last issue of the New York Mer
cury contains a short sketch, entitled
“ The Cobbler’s Daughter,” by St. Clair
Abrams.
Macon has been attacked with what
they call “L’Art Photographique.” We
dont exactly know what that is, but
suspect it is nothing but picture taking.
Coi. J. A. Gray and family, of Augus
ta, as also Capt. Jim. Purcell, the well
known Georgia Railroad conductor,
and family, are at the New Holland
Springs.
A dispatch was received in Atlanta
on Saturday, stating that Mr. Luke
Buffington, formerly of that city, but
now of Houston, Texas, was quite ill, in
fact, at the point of death.
From the Mobile Register, we learn
that Gov. Houston and Senator Gordon
addressed the people of Lee, Coosa
and Tallapoosa counties, at Goodwater
Station, on the Selma and Meridian
Railroad, a day or two ago.
Maj. Hillyer, the Georgia Commis
sioner to the Philadelphia Centennial,
has returned. He thinks it will be a
great show, and declares that Georgia
will be given as good a chance to spend
its money at it as anybody else.
The Scofield Rolling Mill was again
started into operation last Monday
morning, and whilst several hundred
hungry mouths have been stopped, the
papers will in future be without a good
deal to talk about. Joe Brown’s friend,
Goodnow, is in charge.
Bainbridge Democrat: Mr Peter Mul
ligan Oliver of Fowlstown, informed us
last Saturday that he had a great deal
of open cotton in his field. He, also,
stated that he intended to have a bale
of new cotton in the market within ten
days.
Mr. John Phelps, President of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, with
quite a large party of ladies and gen
tlemen, passed through Atlanta last
Sunday, en route to Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs, where the National
Cotton Exchange convenes on the 221.
Gustavus J. Orr, State School Com
missioner, gives notice that the amount
of apportionment of funds this year is
$151,304. Of this sum Richmond county
gets $3,179 ; Burke, $3,128.43 ; Colum
bia, $828.81; Glascock, $281.93 ; Mc-
Duffie, $877.50 ; and Lincoln, $007.27.
In 1870 Georgia produced 173 pounds
of ginned cotton to an acre ; in 1871,
120 pounds ; in 1873, 184 pounds, and
in 1874, 136 pounds. The highest aver
age produciion last year was in South
Carolina, 194 pounds, and the lowest in
Florida, 100 pounds. The production
in Georgia last year was just about the
average in the eleven cotton Slates.
Columbus, in adding up her cotton
receipts, finds that she has received to
date 57,818 bales—a falling off from
last season of 2.868 bales. The receipts
by railroad show a loss of 6,567 bales,
which is reduced by the gains from the
river and wagons. Large receipts dur
ing the next season seem to depend
upon the success of the boats that run
into Florida.
Atlanta Constitution: From our ob
servations and the information we have
gleaned, we think tne entire mercantile
community is a unit in pronouncing
that rents in Atlanta are unreasonably
high. The meeting to be held next
week, in the Chamber of Commerce
room, will put the subject before the
public in a definite shape, and, it is to
be hoped, with good result.
The consumption of cotton in the
Georgia mills last year far exceeded
that of any other Southern State, al
most of auy three States, if Maryland
be excluded from the list. In round
numbers, our mills consumed eighteen
million pounds of cotton, while the
next highest on the list, South Carolina,
consumed seven million pounds. Ala
bama, Tennessee and North Carolina
come next, with a consumption each of
six million pounds.
Savannah News: Mr. Lewry Fursten
berg, for many years an engineer on
the Central Railroad, died suddenly
last night, about eleven o’clock, at his
residence, corner of West Broad and
Huntingdon streets. We learn that he
was attacked about eix o’clock in the
evening with congestion of the braiu,
having previously been apparently
well, and died in the course of a few
hours, as stated in the foregoing.

Malcolm Johnston, Secretary of the
Georgia Agricultural Society is in
Baltimore. We quote from the Sun.
“Already that great State of the South,
Georgia! is taking practical interest in
its next State Agricultural and Me
chanical Fair. It is to be held at Ma-
from the 18th to the 23d of Octo
ber next, when it is designed that a
larger and more important gathering
of industries and people shall be seen
there than ever before. Mr, Malcolm
Johnston, the Secretary of the Georgia
State Society, has already been West
to wake up interests in that section,
and now he is in Baltimore to enlist
the attention of our manufacturers and
others, and will go northward for the
same purpose. No city, perhaps, north
of the Potomac has opportunities for
better and more profitable relations
with Georgia than Baltimore.” The
Gazette, after speaking of the presence
ot' Mr. Johnston in the city, says : “His
object is to persuade exhibitor’s to send
on specimens of their manufactures or
products Of their farms, and to arrange
with steamboat and railroad companies
for reduced fares. It is hoped
that it will, too, be the occasion of car
rying on the work of conciliation inau
gurated at the Bunker Hill celebration,
by bringing the people of the North to
the very centre of the South and there
extending the right hand of fellowship.
Among the speakers who have prom
ised to deliver addresses are Senators
Bayard, of Delaware, and Thurman, of
Ohio. A large delegation of the Centen
nial officials from Philadelphia and of
the heads of the Departments at Wash
ington have also signified their inten
tion to tie present. Mr. Johnston, dur
ing the past few days, has been calling
upon our leading merchants and busi
ness men, and has interested a suffi
cient number in the success of the fair
to insure several visitors to Macou
during its progress. The gentleman
will remain in the city to-day, and may
be seen by all interested in the develop
ment of the South at No, 31 St, Paul
street.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
THE PARKER CASE.
The Verdict Against Parker a Surprise
—The Jury Probably Satisfied that
Other Riug Members had a Share of
the Spoil —The Attorney General’s
Conundrum—Chamberlain Between
the Devil and the Deep Sea—“ R
eform” Rather Sick.
[Special Correspondence Constitutionalist. ]
Columbia, S. C., July 20.
It is uncertain whether the verdict of
the jury in the Parker case, which I
telegraphed you at a late hour last
night, together with the main points of
Judge Carpenter’s charge, was a sur
prise to the parties who have been un
derstood to have arranged behind the
scenes the entertainment which they
have given the public in this matter or
not. All along it has been understood
to be the programme that the jury
should disagree; that a mistrial
should follow, and that Parker
would be remanded to jail, and after a
convenient time, say ten days or two
weeks, should make his escape. The
verdict showed either that the pro
gramme was misconceived, or that the
jury chose to do its own thinking, the
last of which alternative supposition is
unlikely to be correct. The suit was
for $225,000, being fifty cents in the
dollar of the amount of coupons ab
stracted from the treasury. The coun
sel for the prosecution seemed to take
pains to insist that the whole sum of
the loss should be made good by Parker.
It transpired, according to Ladd’s testi
mony, that Parker had confessed to him
that hisindividual share of the coupons
was only $150,000 out of the $450,000
taken ; that other parties were in the
ring, and had received their respective
shares. What Ladd said, as derived
from Parker, was evidence against
Parker, but not against the others of
the ring. But the jury appears to have
recognized the responsibility of these
others for their share, and found a
verdict against Parker only for his
share as proved. We may conclude
that the jury was independent, and
sought to do substantial justice,
or we may see in their ver
dict the croppiug out of ulterior
objects iu the prosecution. In the light
of thi3 testimony and verdict, and of a
number of other considerations, there
is a strong presumption that we are
only at the beginning. The statements
of Ladd and the peculiar character of
the verdict make a stronger case
against Parker’s allies than there was
at the outset against Parker himself.
There are stronger political and per
sonal reasons for going against them
than against Parker. He is no longer
a man of power. Thev axe, some
of them at least. Whether the
men who have the matter in charge
have the backbone to go on to the
logical conclusion, or not, is yet doubt
ful. But the language of the Attorney
General in his argument yerterday has
significance. Iu referring to missing
bonds as well as missing coupons, he
asked: “Where are they?” He then
continued : “We are only showing
these $450,000 because we have the
proof, but cau show you that iu
that administration, with Parker
and Kimpton and that Finan
cial Board, millions have been stolen,
as I will yet prove, with the assistance
of a jury.” That looks like the expres
sion of a purpose. It looks as if the
work had just begun. Chamberlain,
the present Governor, was the brains
of the Financial Board, and must be
here meant with the others. He is now,
and for the last three years has been,
the law partner of the Attorney Gen
ei'al. He was alluded to by him iu
complimentary terms yesterday. The
jury were invoked to do their duty in
their sphere as well as Chamberlain
did his. But this intimation of what
he intends to do with the Financial
Board of Scott’s administration is cer
tainly no compliment to lus associate.
We shall see what will come out. —
Chamberlain is absent from the State.
The public are desirous of thinking well
of him, aud hope that he is not so bad
as he seemed, and as they thought. He
has done some good service of late, and
is apparently growing in a sense of re
sponsibility and duty. But it is unfor
tunate that he keeps away at this time’
Besides this trial, the breaking of
Hardy Solomon’s Bank with $207,000
of the State’s money deposited iu it by
the Governor, the Comptroller General
and the Treasurer, some of it at a re
cent date and other deposits of County
Treasurers, County Commissioners &c.,
make the situation such as to require
his presence forthwith. In truth, our
reform has au unhappy halt in it just
now.
The court has this morning gone into
the trial of the other case of the Com
missioners of the Sinking Fund vs.
Parker. Home.
Relief for France.
M. Truy, the French Consul, has
opened a subscription in Charleston for
the relief of the unhappy victims of the
late floods in France, and earnestly in
vites contributions from all Frenchmen
and sympathizers with the unfortunate
and distressed.
The South Carolina Railroad and the
Pooling System.
[News and Courier.]
The public are doubtless aware that
differences have arisen between the
South Carolina Railroad Company and
certain railroads of the number who
agreed in Convention “to pool,” as it is
called, their through freight business.
This “pooling” is an arrangement for
throwing the entire receipts of the com
peting lines for through business at a
given point into a common fund,
which is divided amongst the com
peting lines at that point in such pro
portion as may be agreed upon. The
differences in question will probably be
adjusted in a few days, so that it is not
necessary to go into a disussion of the
general question at issue, further than
to say that the South Carolina Railroad
Company declines “to pool” its local
business between Charleston and Au
gusta, inasmuch as such a “pooling ’
and division, with roads which have
next to nothing to give in return, would
be a direct, immediate and serious loss
to the South Carolina Railroad, with
out any corresponding gain.
The Charlotte Road was a member of
the Pooling Convention, and last Thurs
day, without warning of any kind, it
gave notice to the South Carolina Rad
road that it would no longer reiceive
freight or passengers from the last
named road. At this moment the South
Carolina Railroad cannot issue a picket
or grant a bill of lading for a passen
ger or a pound of freight going to any
point on the Charlotte Roach or be
yond that road. The South Ca.rolma
Railroad is the short and quick hue by
which the bulk of the business with the
Charlotte road is done. It can do that
business more cheaply and expediti
ously than any ofh e r h De ca ; a l s*
this the public have enjoyed ti;e bene
fit. Nevertheless, the Charlotte roaq
has blocked the wgy, without warning
or valid excuse, denies to “through
shippers the advantages they have usd.
cuts off Charleston shippers frotn the
Charlotte road, tmd cqfs off from
Charleston the shippers on the Char
lotte road and beyond. This \ye holq
to be an injury to the public—a grave
offence, which exposes the Chorloffe
road to consequences more serious than
it may dream of.
Toipcs in Gofunphim
[News and Courier Correspondent-!
Columbia, July 19. —There have oc
eqrred here some cases of sunstroke,
following the uuprecedentedly torrid
weather of the last few days. Mr. Grif
fin aud Mr. Comerford, after hard ser
vice in their stores on Saturday even
ing, were attacked in this way and had
to call in a physician. Last evening at
12 in., Mr. Wra. Roy, the treasurer for
several years of the Burns Club, and
the efficient clerk in the grocery store
of Mr. George Symmers, died from con
gestion of the brain. The illness was
only of a half hour’s duration.
On Saturday there was a meeting of
Tocoa Grange, about twelve miles above
Columbia, in this county. In the ab
sence of the master, Mr. Wyatt Rose,
Captain W. H. Stack, master of Cane
Creek Grange, presided. About one
hundred persons were present, includ
ing a considerable number of ladies.
After a sumptuous and plentiful din
ner, Rev. Mr. Elkius delivered an ad
dress, which was well received. Captain
Sligh, of the neighborhood, and Arthur
Moore, Esq., from Columbia, who was
present as a guest, also made neat,
short and pithy speeches.
MIRACULOUS.
A Woman Ten Yeai-s Bed-Ridden
Rises from her Bed and Walks.
[Washington Republican.]
It is asserted that the workings of
God are strange, wonderful and mys
terious; that through Him are all
things accomplished, and without
Him nothing can succeed. From time
to time events are chronicled which are
regarded as miracles, aad looked upon
as divine work accomplished through
the Christian representatives on this
earth. One of those instances has come
to pass wherein is shown how the sick,
after long suffering and patience, is
raised up to the benefits of health and
usefulness of life, and will now, in all
probability, become a helpmate in the
family aud au ornament in society, re
covering those charms that departed
when prostrated by a long aud painful
illness. How this wonderful change
was achieved the readers of the Na
tional Repuulican must be the judge,
after the circumstances connected with
this wonderful case have been related.
Mrs. Lamb, wife of Mr. Francis Lamb,
manufacturer of looking glasses aud
picture frames, residing at No. 1912
Fourteenth street, northwest, has for
the past thirteen years been au invalid,
and for neaily ten years of that period
been confined to her bed and been de
priveil of the use of her limbs. When
first taken sick it was supposed that
her indisposition would be brief, and
only a short time would elapse ere she
succeeded in recovering her accustom
ed health. But as the days rolled on
that improvement looked and hoped
for failed to appear.
It is true that she would rally and
for a while seem to be mending, and
her friends would be encouraged at the
prospect; then again came a change,
and she wouid return to the old condi
tion. Other complaints set in, aud
finally she suffered with a complication
of diseases, aud became so much ex
hausted that she was compelled to
seek her bed for rest aud comfort.—
Prominent and efficient physicians
were consulted, attended upon her,
and in the early stages of her sickness
their prescriptions proved efficacious,
and she was able to rise from the bed
aud move about the house, but she
failed to regain her health and strength,
and as a consequence, ere many days
expired, she would again become pros
trated. Her situation baffled the pro
fessionals’ knowledge aud skill, and
several of them confessed being unable
to prescribe the medicine that would
produce a cure. Still they attended
upon her, watching for auy change
that might occur, iu the hope of being
able to furnish relief and prolong life
should death thxeaten to iutervene and
take her hence. In this condition, un
able to rise from her sick bed, had she
passsd from year to year hoping for
the good time coming, when, re-endow
ed with strength aud the usefulness of
her limbs, she might again become a
perfect being of the world. Iu all this
prolonged sickness and prostration the
invalid was never known to murmur at
her situation or complain of her mis
fortune ; but, on the contrary, being a
devout Christian, placing her trust and
reliance in Him who afflicts as well as
relieves, she daily and almost hourly
invoked the blessing of the Almighty,
and that in His chosen time He would
send that relief which she believed
could only proceed from Him.
Her friends were frequently with her,
and mingled their prayers with hers
for the desired change. A little more
thau a week ago she sent a request to
the members of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, asking that they
would make her condition the special
object of their prayers, that she might
be raised from a lingering disease,
which had confiued her iu bed for
nearly ten years, aud be restored to
health. The request was granted and
the prayers made. A few days after
wards, while a lady friend was writing,
she conversed of her religious feelings,
and said that she belived she would
soon leave the sick-bed ; in fact, she
believed that she could walk at that
time. The lady, while wishing that such
would be the case, could not believe it
possible for her to accomplish such an
undertaking, and so expressed herself.
Strange as it may appear, Mrs. Lamb,
confident of her ability to walk, rose
from her bed, and, in her stocking-feet,
actually walked across the room, and
returning sat down in a chair. It was
not to be wondered at that her friends
should be astonished, and asking how
Mrs. Lamb felt, received the reply that
she was better. Further questioning as
to what had caused her sudden and
miraculous improvement, the sick lady
replied that she sincerely believed it to
be the result of constant, faithful pray
er to heaven for the bettering of her
condition, and that her prayers had
been answered.
The fact of Mrs. Lamb having got
up and walked soon spread, and many
friends visited the house to see her and
congratulate the family on the happy
change. In the evening a prayer-meet
ing was held, at which she related her
feelings before and since walking, and
believed that the change was perma
nent. The following Sunday so much
had she improved that she rode in a
carriage to the Mount Zion Church,
Fifteenth and R streets northwest,
(Rev. Mr. Mcßenny, pastor,) and at
tended divine service. Since that time
other prayer-meetings have been held,
and she is unceasing in her devotions,
praise and thanksgiving to Qod for
raising her up and making her whole.
She believes that it will not be many
days ere she has become perfectly
sound an<J heajthy At present she ex
periences some trouble iu walking, her
feet being very tender from want of ex
ercise. r JDhe case (s a strange one, and
attracts much consideration and talk
among the church people.
There’s nothing like knowing what to
do in sudden emergencies. The other
morning, when a man fell overboard
from the ferry boat- a long-haired man
who sat reading a newspaper ro<e rp
and called, “Stop' her—back her—gb
ahead— thj’ow him a plank—stop the
boat—give him a rope-blower a boat—
where’s a life preserver—stop this boat!”
Thp victim was saved, but of course he
would have bd ei j drowned but for the
long-haired maty.
If thou art rich, then show the great,
ness of thy fortune, or, what is better,
the greatness of thy soul, in the meek
ness of thy conversation; condescend
to men of low estate, support the dis
tressed and patronize the neglected. .Re
great. —[Sterne.
The Moon ami the Hare.
A HOTTENTOT FABLE.
The moon, in pity to the race
Of man in his despair,
Sent to them fi’om her shining place
Her messenger, t he hare.
“Go, nimble one, and say to men
That as I fade and die,
Then rise and brightlier shine again
Above them in the sky;
So they must fail and fade away,
But only die to rise
Where insurrection paves the way
To fairer, friendlier skies.
But out of dulness, trick or feud,
The message which was sent
The reckless little aare const ued
With most maliga intent.
“O race of men, the moon hath said
That as she lives and dies,
So unto death shall you be led,
And evermore shall rise.”
Now when the moon had heard the case,
Her axe, w r ith force and grip.
She struck into the meek hare’s face,
Which caused the split hare lip.
The hare, incensed, with claws upborne,
Scratched back with right good grace,
And since that day the moon has worn
A rough and ragged face.

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
THE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is made into a very even
lap. at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then llnished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON’S I'A l'l'.M’ ETENER
Attached, and owing to recent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for
the card, only vary one-quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from lire than the card room.
darThere is also a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mills at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall Itiver, Manchester,
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a few among many testimonials which we have received:
AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5,1875.
The Kitson Machine Oompang, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen : We have been running your Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher
Lappers, with Eveners, for more than one year, and frankly say that they have given
the most eminent satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in giving you our unqualified en
dorsement, and cordially recommend your Machines.

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, [
Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. j
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: I have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more than two years past at the Cotton Mill of the
Langley Manufacturing Company, and have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. We hwo no weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over boating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
