THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, July 22, 1875.
“GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS,
Griffin Sunday Press: A little negro
killed one of Mr. Jeff. Blood worth’s
fine dray mules last Monday by barbar
ous treatment.
The Irwinton Southerner publishes
that Mrs. McAllum, of Twiggs, mother
of Mr. Archibald McAllum, died on the
10th instant, of cancer, in her ninety
third year.
The Rome Courier says that when a
corporation refuses to allow a man to
buy a drink he will buy a gallon. It
thinks an effort will be made in the
next Legislature to repeal the law as it
relates to Rome.
Mr. W. A. Martinere, traveling agent
of the Columbus Eagle and Phoenix
Factory, went in bathing Sunday in a
bath room attached to the factory. In
running across a wet floor he slipped
and fell, striking his head against a
wall, remained unconscious for a day
and a half, and is now nearly dead.
We learn that on Wednesday last Mr.
James Segraves cut a Mr. Pollen with
a knife, in an altercation between them.
Segraves ran away, but was captured
in the afternoon by Mr. Rose, of the
police force. He was tried before the
County Judge, and sentenced to pay a
fine and go to the chain-gang.
Macon Telegraph: There is in Ma
con a sword, captured during the war,
which the owner, if living, would
probably be very glad to recover. It
bears the following inscription : “Pre
sented to Adjutant E. F. Bishop, 87th
Regiment Illinois Volunteers, Sept. 3d,
1862.” It is possible that the first ini
tial may be an F instead of an E.
W. T. Nelson, Tax Collector of Bibb
county, publishes a list of insolvent
voters who have not paid their poll
tax of one dollar, which pans out as
follows: Total polls—White, 2,179;
colored, 2,272; total, 4,451. Total polls
paid—White, 1,212; colored, 216. In
solvent polls—White, 967; colored,
2,049; total unpaid, 3,016.
The Southerner' has also the follow
ing interesting item : Messrs. Harlow
Clark and Mr. Burch, father of Judge
M. L. Burch, of Dublin, sold their wool
clippings to Mr. Ashburn, of Eastman,
a short time ago, for $2,000 —or SI,OOO
apiece. Mr. Hardy Allgood, also of
Laurens, sold his wool crop to the
same party for over S6OO. This little
change will enable these gentlemen to
get along comfortably until their cot
ton crop comes in.
Athens Watchman: Saturday last,
17th instant, a meeting of the sur
vivors of the Sixteenth Georgia Regi
ment was held at Centre Hill, in Jack
son county. The survivors of this
brave and gallant corps no doubt had
a pleasant reunion, and we are sorry
that we could not be present with them.
We hope some member will furnish an
account of the proceedings for publica
tion.
Monroe Advertiser': Week before
last we mentioned the receipt of an un
usually large hen egg, sent to us by
Mr. Gray of Smarr’s Station. A few
days since it was broken and within
was sound the usual contents of an
egg, complete, and in addition another
egg with shell and all complete. In
other words there was an egg within
an egg, and is an nomaly we have
never heard of before. This came
within our own observation and is true.
Gainesville Southron: The season for
brandy making has arrived, and a large
number of distilleries will be started in
order to distill our large crop of fruit.
This business yields a large revenue to
our people, as well as the Government
when they register. Judge Crowder is
now ready to wait upon those who wish
to make brandy in terms of the law.
* * The trains on the Air-Line are
jammed with people from the low coun
try, hunting for cool places and cold
water. * * Deputy U. S. Marshal
Findley has so far recovered from his
recent wounds as to be able to ride
about on horseback. He will enter
upon the discharge of his duties soon.
Cuthbert Appeal: We heard a credi
tor trying to prevail upon one of his
debtors to pay a note a few days since,
given for goods sold at cash prices.
Said the creditor, “Pay the interest,
and I will wait until you gather your
cotton for the principal.” The debtor
promptly remarked that “it is against
my principle to pay the interest.”—
“Then,” said the creditor, pay the prin
cipal and I will give.you the interest.”
“No,” said debtor, “it is against my in
terest to pay the principal.” The mer
chant quietly retired, thoroughly con
vinced that nothing but a knock down
argument could make a settlement with
that individual.
Rome Courier : If Dr. Tucker cannot
make the college successful under his
management, the trustees should not
hesitate to elect anew Chancellor; and
if Dr. Lipscomb’s re-election to that
position is best promotive of its inter
ests the trustees should look to these
and not to personal considerations.
The people of Georgia should demand
that the State University be conducted
with the sole view and the single ob
ject of making it a success in every re
spect. Sectarianism should not be
allowed to struggle for supremacy in its
management. Professors should be
elected for their efficiency and their ca
pacity as teachers and not upon per
sonol grounds.
The Valdosta Times complains that
the State Lunatic Asylum cannot ac
commodate the afflicted of the Com
monwealth. It says : “Thomas coun
ty has five lunatics, and Lowndes one,
who are pauners and utterly incapaci
tated to cafe for themselves. These
ought to be cared for by the State ;
but as it is, the counties alluded to
have to confine them in hot jail-houses
with criminals, where they have no
medicinal attention or care given them.
This, though the best that can be done,
is inhumane and ought not to be.” All
very true,” says the Macon Telegraph.
“But Dr. Green is doing the best that
is possible with the means at his dis
posal. If a portion of the harmless
idiots who have been sent to the asy
lum were returned upon their friends,
it would make more room for the
maniacs and lunatics. The two classes
of sufferers in no event should be
lodged together.”
The druggists of Atlanta propose a
State organization, under the following
call: “We, the undersigned druggists
of Atlanta, respectfully solicit the mem
bers of our profession throughout the
State to meet with us at Macon on the
20th of October next, Wednesday of
Fair week, for the purpose of organiz
ing a Pharmaceutical Association. —
Tne first object of said Associa
tion will be “to establish the re
lations between druggists, physicians,
and the people at large, upon just
principles, which shall promote the
public welfare and tend to mutual
strength anti advantage.” All papers
in Georgia, friendly to the same will
please publish this notice at least one
time. Druggists who can and will meet
with us are requested to communicate
with the temporary Secretary. F. King.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
Hot Weather —The Parker Trial
Military Notes—The Oar.
[From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Charleston, July 21,1875.
The readers of the Constitutionalist
will pardon me if I use H. W. B.’s fa
vorite expression, and say “it’s d—d
hot,” because I am certain that if the
readers of the Constitutionalist all
lived in Charleston they would unani
mously agree that even this highly
flavored expression would scarcely do
justice to the subject. The memory of
the oldest inhabitant is at fault—as it
always is in such cases—to find a par
allel to this heated term. Thermome
ters have risen both in price and in
mercury; so have fans, and the
average Charlestonian rises daily
from his couch to undergo a
series of warm baths from early dawn
till dark. Ten or twelve days ago the
mercury began to mark 92 degrees in
the shade ; then it jumped to 94, and
then the average Charlestonian began
to growl. When it reached 96 he swore
great oaths, and at 98 became raving
mad. But when the mercury reached
100 degrees all Charleston stood ap
palled. I saw one old gentleman,
whose hair is white with the snows of
sixty winters, rushing up and down
Broad street brandishing a farenheit
which marked 109 degrees, and begging
every one whom be met to stop and
look at it. This state of the weather
cannot last much longer. Men are
forced to wear shirt collars—in their
pockets—and to wander about the
streets with huge Japanese fans in
their hands. A temporary relief was
afforded on Monday by the shifting of
the wind from the southwest to the
southeast, but it was only a temporary
relief, and as I write the mercury is
again mounting upwards into the
nineties.
The Parker Trial.
As your readers have already been
informed, Parker, the Boss Buzzard of
the South Carolina thieves, has at last
come to grief, despite the efforts of the
able Democratic lawyers who were re
tained to defend him. The verdict of
the jury was a great surprise to every
body here, because the opinion was
very general that the jury had been
packed to acquit. It is a great com
fort for us to know that a verdict has
been rendered, for the first time since
Reconstruction, against one of the boss
plunderers, and we are almost tempted
to see in this a bright lining to the dark,
cloud which has overhung the Palmet
to State for so many dreary years.—
There is yet some fear, however, that
the Supreme Court, before whom Par
ker’s case will be carried by his Demo
cratic counsel, will upset the verdict
and let the rogue go scot
free. None of tho gentlemen who
compose that most august tribunal
are known for certain to despise filthy
lucre,‘and if Parker is disposed to come
down handsomely and do the right
thing, there is little doubt but that he
will get a reversal of the judgment
against him. The State authorities
seem to be iu earnest about the mat
ter, and, having convicted him of steal
ing the coupons, have already com
menced to try him on the charge of
stealing the assets of the State in the
posssession of the Sinking Fund Com
mission, of which Parker was the lead
ing spirit. The particular theft in this in
stance consisted in buying up the
State’s stock in certain railroads at a
nominal figure and selling out at im
mense profit, pocketing the proceeds,
and thereby deflauding the State.
Military Notes.
The Wagener Artillery, a thrifty mili
tary club of this city, composed of
Germans, celebrate their anniversary
to-day with a street parade and target
excursion. These young gentle
men give the first evidence of
the effects of the recent Fourth of
July Excursion to Augusta. Many of
them accompanied the excursionists
but not in uniform. The handsome
appearance of the Augusta Battalion
di'd the business; they forthwith re
modeled their uniform and appear to
day iu a dress which effectually beats
anything of the kind in Charleston. It
consists of a suit of dark blue cloth,
frock coats trimmed with red, red cuffs
and collars, red and black regulation
shoulder lcuotand a Prussian helmet of
patent leather surmounted by a droop
ing plume, like the white plumes worn
by the 18th Infantry band on the pa
rade in your city on the Fourth.
I may mention as another good re
sult of the Augusta excursion that
there is every probability of the organi
zation of our military clubs into an in
dependent brigade of the State Nation
al Guard. Governor Champerlain has
expressed his approval of the scheme,
and upon his return to the State steps
will be taken to effect this desirable
end. There are at present fifteen simi
military organizations, consisting of
two artillerv companies, three cavalry
companies/(called tilting clubs), and
ten companies of infantry, (called rifle
clubs). It is proposed to organize these
into an independent brigade, separate
from the negro militia, -"'-ad to get the
Governor to commission the field and
staff officers. Snouid the pian succeed,
we hope to be able to compete with the
spleudid battalion which composes the
militia of At gusta.
The Oar.
The readers of the Constitutionalist
have already been apprised of the.re
sult of the New Orleans regatta. The
Charleston champions were vanquished
and all Charleston is now in mourning.
What is to prevent the Augusta oars
men from coming down and finishing
the job for us. Qui Vive.
Port Royal and the Great West.
Mr. Editor: An article, “The West
and the South,” appearing in your
much-valued Sunday issue of the 18th
instant, suggests to me the idea that
the terminus, on the South Atlantic
coast, that offers the greatest induce
ments to the products of the West for
foreign transshipment is Port Royal,
S. C.
This harbor, as is weil known, pos
sesses natural advantages unequalled
by any other on the Southern coast.
Upon its bar, at the lowest stage of the
tide, there is sufficient water to float
the largest ship that rides the great
Atlantic,
It is a fact, perhaps not generally
known, that do regularly steamship
crossing the Atlantic to-day can enter
the harbor of Savannah or Charleston.
Every steamship now built is being
made larger and deeper, and as no pad
dle ship is now upon the ocean, the
screw ships can only get their propell
ing power by increasing the diameter
of their screws, thereby requiring in
creased draught. All the ships of the
Cunard, Inman, National and White
Star lines recently built are not less
than 4,000 tons and drawing from 22 to
24 feet, and can only enter and leave
New York harbor upon the top of the
tide. Of course, the great advantage
of large ships in cheapening transpor
tation is evident to all.
port Royal is reached too from all
points west by less number of miles
than is either Charleston or Savannah.
The facilities that are there offered, In
the shape of wharves, railroad tracks,
&c, enable the transferring of freight
from cars to ships, and vice versa, at a
: much less cost per ton, than at either
of the other proposed termini- The
product? of the west, demand the
lowest rates of freights, and the shortest
and cheapest transportation lines, and,
that the line via Port Royal com
mands these advantages, over either
Charleston or Savannah there can be
no question. “Facts—actual facts are
stubborn things.”
St. Louis is aware of these advant
ages. They have been mentioned re
cently in her prominent journals. I
would also quote from a private letter,
under date of the 17tli inst., the views
of one of her prominent merchants: “A
splendid harbor, a healthy location,
and being at the terminus of what is to
be the greatest railroad line of the
times, from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
It is then necessary, and indeed is es
sential to a speedy prosperity, that an
effort be made in this part of the coun
try to open a foreign trade, and to
make Port Royal the seaport of the
Southeast. A better time could not be
had, in my judgment, and no time
should be lost in moving in it. St.
Louis, now exercised at discriminations
made against her trade by railroads,
will find it to her interest to open com
munication, and Port Royal will surely
be that point.”
Whenever a line is established via
Port Royal, that will command the
shipments from the West to foreign
ports, and in return, bring the tide of
immigration from these ports to any
Southern and Western points, then will
Augusta’s prosperity be sure, for Port
Royal, unlike her sister cities, is reached
from and to the West only through Au
gusta. Except, sir, that you made no
mention of Port Royal in the article
referred to, I congratulate you upon
the public spirit manifested therein,
which, if imitated by all parties inter
ested, will result in the development of
a business that will prove the salva
tion of our common country.
“Onward.”
Augusta, Ga., July 21,1875.
BYRON.
Keeping His Memory Green —The Pro
posed Monument.
[New York Herald.)
Disraeli, the most successful literary
man of the century, so far as rising to
power is concerned, is the proper per
son to honor the most celebrated Eng
lish writer of the century. Disraeli
may be said to be a literary contempo
rary of Lord Byron. He was thinking
of “Vivian Grey” while the other was
writing “Don Juan.” He came into lit
erature in some senses his pupil or fol
lower. One of his most charming nov
els is based upon the life of Lord By
ron and his daughter. Disraeli has
manliness and appreciation enough to
rise above the cant which has so long
clouded the fame of Byron and to in
sist that justice should be done to his
genius in the capital of the nation
which cherishes that genius among its
glories.
One of the greatest of English critics,
shortly after Byron’s death, iu discus
sing his genius, said : —“A few more
years will destroy whatever yet remains
of the magical potency which once be
longed to the name of Byron. To us
he is still a man, young, noble and un
happy. To our children he will be
merely a writer, and their impartial
judgment will appoint his place among
writers without regard to his rank or
his private history.” More than a half
century has passed since Lord Byron
died, but “the magical potency of his
name” still remains. It is as fresh
now as it was in the time of our
fathers. The singular aucestral
and personal history, the sad do
mestic life, the sudden rise to a su
preme rank in the republic of letters,
to-day the darling of society, to-mor
row its execration, Prince and exile be
fore he was thirty, the wild life in Italy
and the glorious death in Greece—these
are incidents that do not enter into all
literary lives. Byron, like Chatterton,
Burns and Roe, has become a romantic
name in literature. Young men and
young ladies also have their Byron
fever, generally when turning the cor
ner of their teens. The world grows
dark to them. No tftore, no, never
more, on them the freshness of the
heart will fall like dew. If piracy
were not a capital offence and the isles
of Greece were less accessible many
of them would turn pirate like Conrad.
They go through the fever with lacer
ated hearts and scowling lips, and cyni
cal smiles, and not the most exalted
idea of the Commandments. But the
fever goes, and in time they come to
rightly estimate Byron. The “magical
potency” of his name rarely affects a
cultivated person over thirty. We see
the faults of Byron, the mischief of
much of his philosophy, his wanton
ness, his egotism and selfishness. But
we see also a genius so daring, so
sweeping, so rich, so thoroughly mas
culine and Saxon, that we must go back
to Shakespeare to find its superior.
There are those who will place Milton
and Wordsworth, and even Shelle}', on J
a higher plane than Byron. It would
not be profitable to enter into this con
troversy. Wordsworth, Milton and
Shelley were men of purer genius than
Byron, and of loftier soul. Byron
comes near to the heart of England,
just as Burns touches that of Scotland
and Goethe that of Germany. He Is
the most English poet since Shak
speare—the one who is accepted by
foreign nations as the best type of
modern English poetic thought. Iu
France we find Lamartine as his
commentator; in Germany the illus
trious Goethe performs the same office,
while in Spain his life has been written
by Castelar. We question if any
writer since Shakespeare was made
the same impression upon American
thought as Byron. In many respects
Byron is as much American as English.
He approaches more nearly to that type
of the Saxon character which has de
veloped in America. Nor should we
forget that he never failed to do justice
to our country, and that from nis pen
came the most eloquent tribute to
Washington in the English tongue.
We are glad to see this tendency,
even at this late day, to do him honor.
We can say for the American people
that we shall be giad to do our share
toward the Byron monument in Lon
don. We should like also to see one
in our Central Park. That would be a
double honor and one that Americans
could gracefully pay to the memory of
the poet who died in the service of free
dom and never hesjted to do honor to
America.

“Ah-ha !” joyously exclaimed a South
Side doctor, as he accosted a Clark
street undertaker, sitting in his shop on
a pile of coffins, last evening, “ Have
you heard the news?”
“News, news—what news? I haven’t
heard any but that’s bad for a dog’s
age. Nobody’s died or nothing worth
speaking of for six months.”
“ Well, I’ve got something that will
cheer you up,” continue 4 the doctor,
winking one eye.
“What is it?” asked the dealer in
wooden garments, pushing back a
screw-driver, and growing interested.
“ I’Jl tell yon,” said the disciple of
Escujapius, drawing near the underta
ker and whispering in his ear : “Sixteen
Gar-loads of— watermelons shipped
from Florida this week—have arrived
-rin Chicago |”
And then they both grinned and
chuckled, and rubbed their hands ; and
while the undertaker went to brushing
off some of his coffins, the doctor step

and told him to keep op hand plenty of

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 finished on a
TWO-BEATEK LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON’S PATI AT EVEIVER
Attached, and owing to recent improvements in this Evenor, the laps when ready for
the card, only vary one-quarter of an ounce to tlio yard. The cost of picking by thjs
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.
*3”There 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, Lauglev Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mills at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester,
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a few among many testimonials which we have received:

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, I
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 h ive no weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, vet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, 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 seour ty against iire,
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.

the past seven weeks 39,267 lbs. Cloth weekly. Yarn averaging about No. 22. Costone
