THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONALIST WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 3ft 1669. LOCAL BEPARTMENT, . 1 '• * ' • Confession of the Murderer of Mr. Adkins D. Lewis.—A friend at Waynes boro sent us by yesterday’s mail the con- Ifession of Ben Godby, the negro charged with the murder of'Mr. Adkins D. Lewis, near that place. The,.preliminary examin ation of the prisoner lakes place to-day at Waynesboro. The confession is as fol lows : “ The woman Mariah struck by Lewis was not my wife, I just took up with her; rny wife is named Clara; Clara was cook *for Mr. Lewis; went home at night; Mari ah showed me rock; said Mr. Lewis struck her with it; Enoch told me if ’twas his wife he*d not rest until he killed Lewis; ifcold me to wait till he (.Lewis) came into the field .in morning and cut him all to pieces; Enoch and me were plowing side by side; Mr. Lewis came meeting two eotton rows from me; he stopped me and talked about Mariah; Enoch kept’on plow ing; had bo hard words with Lewis; he made no threats; he was standing with his side to me when I cut him ; don’t know where I cut him first; Enoch told me to kill Lewis, to go to Augusta, and the head man there would do something about Lewis knocking my wife; Enoch did not tell me I would be protected by anybody for kill ing Lewis; 1 never told the man in Au gusta that I was afraid of a mob of white : men in Burke county; he told me I done ; right to come to Augusta; that I would be if I hadn’t; lam not afraid now Jpf being mobbed; I stopped at Mr. John son’s at Double Branches; he asked me Avhat mace the blood on my wife’s clothing; told him a white man done it; told him I was going to Augusta to see the head man ; he said Waynesboro was the place to get justice; lam not afraid of being .mobbed; I believe I will get justice.” Steam Plowing. —The introduction of the steam plow promises a great revolu tion in farm tillage, in process of time, when the questions of moderating the cost ■of the implement, and/simplifying the de tails of its construction have been deter mined by the inventive and practical labor 'saving ideas of the mechanical genius of ' the country., “A correspondent of the New York IYorW-gives an account of the trial of an English steam plow recently, near Woodford, New Jersey. The field was a sandy loam soil, tolerably level, but un oven, having been in corn last year. The engines were-each fourteen horse-power, ahd on the locomotive plan. The speed was At the rate of five and a half miles per hour, and the work was at the rate of twenty and twenty-four acres per day of ten hours. The universal opinion of all 'present v.kis, that steam-plowing was a marked success.' It is only a question of capital and detail; to be settled by experi ment, which there is reason to believe will eventuate in placing these plows within the range of general use and'appreciation. There is one very important fact, which is, that Radical fanaticism will hardly insist upon clothing them with the right of suf frage, and to that extent detract from their value as reliable farming auxiliaries. Useful Information. —The Petersburg (Va:) Index has learned, in a conversation with ah old gentleman of that city; that for fevered yeSrs past he had kept his house free from cockroaches and other vermin, d>y the use of epsom salts. Scattered free ly near the holes through which they enter, these ugly visitants will seek other homes, and assures us, also, that a strong solution •ofsalts, applied externally to horses, will .save them from-movance by flies; and that where mirroft.. picture frames, &c., have been rubbed with the solution, the flies will refuse to light. dff Asa preventative aganr*t bed begs or fleas, the same remedy will be found of great service; but a more effectual the recently discovered carbolic acid or carbolic soap. Animals washed with this solution will be forever free from insects. Perpetual freedom from rats and mice may also be obtained by the use of this "carbolic acid of soap; but as this is not al ways at hand, our old friend assures us that kerosene oil poured into rat-holes, or rags saturated with kerosene, will banish rats and mice effectually. He has used these antidotes for years, and is fully convinced of their value.— They are,. at least, simple and cheap, and ~«»ay be triedf Cheap Railroad Traveling.—H. T. Peake, E=q., the General Superintendent of the South Carolina Railroad, is now issuing “ Green Line” cev ’•'o.teswhich entitle the bearer to travel at half fifre, once each way, over the following named railroads: Louis ville and Nashville, Memphis amj Louis ville, Nashville and Northwestern, Nash ville and Chattanooga, Western- and At lantic, Selma, Rome And Dalton, Ma'con and Western, Atlanta gnd West Point, Montgomery and West Point, Georgia and South Carolina Railroad. This is done under an agreement entered into at the “ Green Line” Convention, held at Atlanta in March last; and the “ half fare” privilege is extended to all persons traveling “for. the purpose of soliciting business.” The cost of traveling is in this ■way reduced one half, and onr merchants may now, without great expeense, extend their trips to all the most important points in the Southwest. The Duties of Railroad Conductors. —The New York Supreme Court has de cided that if a passenger on a railway train cannot find a seat aud gpts injured while standing, in consequence, ui>on the platform, he is not to Iks blamed for negli gence ; but that the negligence must be Imputed to the conductor. It is tjie lat ter’s’lmslness to find a seat for the passen ger, not the passenger’* husluess to .look for one. ___ ___ While Pine 1* shipping $76,000 In bullion a week, and has recently dlecovered forty all new mines of great richness. Fruit Distillation.—As the distilla tion of fruit claims the attention of a large portion of our readers, we give below a sy nopsis of the revenue laivs on the subject, as condensed by W. C. Morrill, Collector of the Second Georgia District: Every person intending to distill brandy from apples, peaches and grapes, exclusive ly, beforq,entering upon business, must—' Ist..Register their stills with the Assist ant Assessor of the Division in which they reside, a§ provided in section 5, act of July 20, 1866. The Assistant Assessors are pro vided with the necessary blanks for this purpose which can be had on application. 2d. Notice must lie given in writing to the Assessor of the District, stating the name and place of residence of the person or persons intending to engage in distilling, and the place where said business is to be carried on; also, the kind of still and the cubic contents thereof; the number and kind of boiTSrs, mash and fermenting tubs, and a description of the lot or tract of land on which the distillery is situated, the size of the buildings, and of what material constructed. ' 3d. A bond must bellied with at least _two securities, to be approved by the As sessor, in the penal sum of at least $5,000, conditioned that the party, or parties, will -aithfullv comply with all the requirements of law rerating to distillation. 4th. A survey must be made of the.prem ises where tb distillery is situated, by the Assessor, at the expense of the United States. sth. A sigu with the words “ Registered Distillery ” upon it, must be placed on the outside of the building where the distillery is Situated. 6th. A book, or books, must be kept in form prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, for the entry dos the mash or wort used daily for distillation; also, the amount of proof spirits produced daily. 7th. Returns must be made monthly, to the Assistant Assessor, of the amount of spirits produced and the taxr paid at the time of the return. Btli. No spirits can be moved from the distillery until the same is inspected and t;auged, and the tax paid, stamps affixed o the casks or packages containing the spirits, by an officer designated for that purpose. 9th. A special tax of fifty dollars is im posed on all distillers of fruit who distill one hundred aud fifty barrels or less per annum; also, a tax of two dollars per day while in operation. The Late General Howell Cobb.— We are pleased to learn from the Macon Telegraph that the well known publishing house of J. B. Lippincott & Cos., Philadel phia, have in press a superb volume, to be styled “ Memorial Volume of Hon. Howell Cobb,’ edited bv Rev. Samuel Boykin, of Macon. The contents of this book, it is said, will be varied and interesting, aud will be.composed of tfce addresses delivered in honor of General “Cobb at Athens and Macon; of the sermons delivered at the funeral; the able sketch delivered by Hon. E. A. Nisbet; an interesting communica tion concerning the last moments of Gen. Cobb, by Bishop Beckwith, and various in teresting comma ideations from distinguish ed individuals—all voluntary tributes from friendly hearts. The proceedings of the Bar in various parts of the State are given, and all is thrown together in a manner that make the volume one continued whole. Orders for the book may be sent to S. Boykin, Macon, Ga., aud if any particular style of binding is required, that may be stated. Important to Retail Dealers in Ci gars.—Application having been made to Commissioner Delano for information whether the sale of cigars from glass cases' is contrary to the revenue law, the Com missioner has replied that “the law re quires that they shall be sold in boxen or from boxes, stamped.as prescribed by law.” There are a large number of dealers who continue to use the sliding draws, and the question involved arises from the practice of e'mptying regularly stamped boxes into the apartments of glass cases. The penalty for violating the law is too well known to require comment at this time. Retail dealers will do well to observe the law, and hereafter dispose of their choice Havanas from the original packages. Cure for Small pox.—As the season for smail-pox is approaching, we would call attention.to the following cure for that dreaded malady, which is communicated to a German paper in New York by a corre spondent iu China. It is said to have been discovered by a surgeon of the British army on duty in China. The mode of treatment iS as follows: . “ When the preceding fever is at its height, and just before the eruption ap pears, the chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartaric ointment. This causes the whole of the eruption to appear on that part of the body, to the relief of the rest. It also secures a full and complete erup tion, and thus prevents the disease from at tacking the internal organs. This *is said to be now- tiie established mode of treat ment in the English army in China, by gen eral orders, and is regarded as a perfect cure.” Round Bolts in Agricultural Ma cuiNERY.-r-These are great pests to farmers. No manufacturer of agricultural imple ments ought to use them. Ezra Cornell, proprietor of the Albany Agricultural Works, has determined that they shall not be put in the implements he manufactures any "longer. We trust that implement makers generally will follow his example, aud use the square be a great advantage to the farmer. Cancelling Stamps.—lt seems that the old law requiring dealers Iff liquors to cafi- 1 cel the stamps or Government brands upon their barrels after exhausting their con tents, is by no means generally observed. The penalty s rather heavy, being S3OO for each barrel so neglected, one-half of which goes to the Collector.

Eatroßs: The weather lias been, for the past l&r- weeks, all that the most dissatisfied could wish—having the beam ing sun and the refreshing showers in the right proportion—enough of the sunshine to thresh and cure our wheat aud small grain ; of the latter, sufllcient to cause the growing crops to “leap for joy.” Most of our wheat has been threshed, and the yield much above the expectations of the most sanguine. You must know that our city and vicinity is blessed with a “ Wheat Club,” which awards a prize to the mem ber raising the mosfi wheat from one acre, whicWbwas this yea* borne off by Dr. J. 8. Hamilton, who raised, I am told, bush els; all of the other members doing re markably, one of whom told me that he rhad some wheat not yet out, and which he did not enter into the contest, that would make 60 bushels to the acre, which is the largest yield I have ever known; so, you see, we will not suffer for “ wheat bread.” The corn is looking very well with only this one draw-back,.there is’nt enough of it, but by all judges deemed sufficient for home consumption; and as for our cotton, you would be astonished what rapid strides it has made the past two weeks; all are now hopeful of a tolerable crop. The freed men generally are working well and crops are in better order than we might expect under the circumstances. Business lias not here become so dead as (we would judge from reports) at other places. Some im provements are being made, the most notable of Which is the two handsome brick stores, three stories, being built on the corner of Broad and Thomas streets,-by Mr. Dupree, one story of which will beau elegant cou cert hall, 60 by 100 feet. These are only the beginning of great improvements that will tie made if we can only convinced that we will have our long talked of rail road from Athens to Rabun Gap, but of this some future day. Ukno. Letter from Greenesboro’. Green esboro’, June 21,1869. Mu. Editor: Iu a late issue of your valued paper I observed a request that planters should drop you an occasional note on crops, &c. Considering myself one of that fraterni ty, and having laid down my hoe for the day, my pen has been grasped, that I may comply with your request. You promise to correct orthography, &c. I flatter my self that I will guard that department of “ plantation economy.” Four times this month the gentle dews of “ Hermon ” have fallen upon our inherit ance, and the genial warmth of a Summer’s sun is now being felt; and joy and glad ness pervades the land, and we have no cares as regards the President of the United States. The corn, in planters’ parlance, is “as black as your hat.’V and is-vigorous and strong. The cotton is fine—in some places small, but on red lands is best. Wheat har vested, but not threshed. Pastures splen did, and milk and the Golden Beurro (but ter) in abundance. Apples, half crop. Peaches yielded to late frosts. My department of Pisciculture, and which I .regard as an Adjunct, contributes its quota to my table, in the shape of a splen did fish—my last effort having supplied me with two noble specimens of five and eight pounds each. C. Crops in Morgan County. Madison, Morgan Cos., June 21,1869. • Editors Constitutionalist: Within the last few days I have had the opportunity to see something of the grow ing crops in this county. Wheat has gen erally been harvested, and iu some in stances threshed, and where the land was fertilized the yield has been very satisfac tory—two or three crops going over 20 bushels to the acre. The corn is looking finely, and all agree that the prospect for a full crop never was better. As to our great staple, it may be seen of every grade, generally, however, looking well, and in some instances where the land has been manured, presenting a very promising appearance. On the whole, the crop prospects in this county are above an average. Respectfully, T. J. B. Weekly Review of Augusta Market, ©ffict of % Coirefifutioitulißt, 1 Fkidit, June 26, 1869. p. x.
