THE CUTHBEBT APPEAL,
LOCAL lIEPAItTMENT
Important to Evervbodv.—We advise
everybody to read the advertisements of
Hunt, Rankin Sc Lamar, in this issue. It will
be seen that they are offering a line of family
med'icines which are reliable, every one of
their Proprietary Preparations are prepared
with care, and by those who have had many
years experience in the compounding of med
icines—it only requires a trial, the medicines
have merit to snetain their claims. If your
blood is bad, try their Yellow Dock Sarsapa
rilla. If yonr liver is torpid, try Hunt’s Liver
Bitten aud May Apple Pills. Do you need a
Vermifuge, then buy the Central City Worm
Candy, and your children will need no other
doctor. All of these remedies can be found
•t T. 8. Powell’s, or J. J. McDonald’s.
Pervbction.—The nearest approach to per
fection, in articles designed for kitchen use,
is that of Doolbt’s Ybast Powdeh, now
generally recognized as the most economical
and reliable Baking Powder in the country.—
Mo housekeeper should be withont it. To
accomplish the same results, it requires but
one-half or two-thirds the quantity that it is
necessary to uce of other Baking Powders,
while uniform success in making roils, bread,
biscuits, pastry, Sic., is guaranteed. Recom

Travelers are always liable to sudden at
tacks of Dysentery and Cholera Morbus, and
these occurring when absent from home, arc
very unpleasant. The Piin Killer may al.
ways be relied upon in such cases. As soon
as you feel the symptoms, take one teaspoon
fol in a gill of new milk and molasses and a
gill of hot water, stir well together and drink
hot. Repeat the dose every hour until re
lieved. If the pains be severe, bathe the
bowels and hack with the medicine clear.
In cases of Asthma and Phthisic, take a tea
.spoonful in a gill of hot water sweetened well
with molasses; also bathe the throat and
stomach faithfully with the medicine clear.
Dr. Sweet says it takes out the soreness in
cases oi bonesetting faster than anything lie
ever applied.
Fisheimcti so often exposed to hurts by
Laving their skin pierced with hooks, and fins
of fish, can bs relieved by bathing with the
Pain Killer as soon as the accident occurs ;
in this way the anguish is soou abated; bathe
as often as once in five minutes, say three or
four times, and you will seldom huve auy
trouble.
The bites aud scratches of dogs and oats are
soon cured by bathing with the Pain Killer

The Educational Meeting Saturday.—
Geu. J. R. Lewis, State School Commission
er, was in our city Saturday, and in pursu
ance of previous notice, a number of citizens
met at the Court House for the purpose of
considering the subject of public schools, and
education generally,
' On motion, Professor D. P. Harley was
called to the chair, and Mr. J. A. Edwards
requested to act as Secretary.
After stating the object of the meeting, the
Chairman introduced Gen. Lewis, who pro
ceeded to address the meeting--setting forth
the importance of providing for the educa
tion of the people, generally, and urging the
people to go forward with the prosecution
of the plan set forth by the school law of the
last Legislature,
One forcible point made by Gen. Lewis,
was to the effect that other States, with ad
vantages not to be compared to. those of
Georgia, are sweeping nearly all the desira
ble emigration into their borders, by offering
their free school systems os an inducement.
He exhibited the superiority of the proposed
iree school system over the system now in
use, in a clear and logical manner, and, we
think to the satisfaction of a majority of those
present.
Rev. Dr. Wills, President of Oglethorpe
University, being called upon, made an elo
quent appeal in education. While
he was not sufficiently acquainted with the
proposed plan, to recommend it, he was sat
isfied that onr State demanded a general sys
tem for the education of the people. We
were particularly struck with the gentleman's
allusion to the public school system prac
ticed in Prussia—it being a very liberal one
—aud the consequent rising greatness and
power of that country. He was ashamed to
acknowledge the truth of the statement that
Georgia had GO,OOO adults unable to read.
Upon invitation, Dr. A. L. Hamilton then
took the floor, and for a few moments, ad
dressed the meeting in his usual felicitous
style—endorsing ic the main, the remarks of
those precediug him, and expressing an earn
est desire for some plan by which the peo
ple—especially the poor—of the land, may
be educated.
We were glad to witness the interest man
ifested by those present, and regret that there
was not a more general attendance of citi
zens.

Preparations for a War op
Backs in South Carolina.—The
Columbia correspondent of the
Charleston News says, notwith
standing Governor Scott’s declara
tion of his intention to withdraw .
the State arms from the negro mili
tia in that State, armed bodies of
negroes are still drilling. The wri
ter says:
In Columbia this drilling goes
on now almost entirely at night,
and in their exclusive halls, and this
feature adds to the surmise that of
ficers somewhere in the Government
connive at it, if it is not done di
rectly by order. Across the river,
in Lexington, they drill in full out
fit of arms and accoutrements in the
streets by day.
The entire importance in this
matter lies in the bad faith kept by
the military branch of the State
government with the people. The
people do not care a button whether
the negroes have guns and drill with
them or not; but they do care for
bad faith, because in ihat lies all the
insecurity involved in this matter.
Fogs in February and Frosts

that whenever heavy fogs appeared

corresponding days in April. He
reports heavy fogs on February 9,
15, and 24th, aud consequently sets
down frost for the corresponding
days this month.— Chronicle <&

“Them Chair3,”—Mr. Mann exulticgly
pointed ont the “ entire lot ” of ehairs belong
ing to tlie Grand Jury room, a few days since.
He is determined to hear no complaints next
Ceurt for want of seats. By the way, he
thinks the last G rand Jury had “chairs on
the brain,” but they decidedly preferred put
ting something else on the chairs.
tar “ Don't care for the Marshall,’’ was
feeling manifested on Sunday night by a
couple of “ truly loil ” voters, who proceeded
te disturb their “ brethren ” while engaged in
Worship, by mixing a few oaths with the
“glory hallelujahs but the Mayor “couldn’t
see it ” as they did, and asked them to lend
him fifteen dollars for the use of the Council—
they consented.
Our New Court House.— All the brick
work has at length been completed. Mr.
Henry, the contractor, finished the chimneys,
drew his pay, and made his exhit on Monday
last. The roof remains in “ statue quo,”
though our- Ordinary informs us that the
work will soon begin. The •■ ene thing need
ful ”is all that retards ths work. It appears
that there was failure on the part of some
one in providing shingles—about ten thou
sand are still lacking. It is all important
that the roof should be speedily finished, but
without money it is impossible to do any
thing. The Ordinary is of opinion that ar
rangements could be made with mechanics
to wait for their pay, but the material calls
for cash.
In our present depresed financial condition,
it was certainly rash to undertake to build
so costly a house, buthaving“ put our hand
to the plow,” and made several furrows al
ready, it is nonsense to “look back.” When
it is done, we may justly feel proud of it
and permit us to express the hope that ere
the next meeting of Court it will be ready
for use—at least sufficiently so to afford some
accommodations for the Grand Jury. Four
days of bitter experience convinced us that
something.ought te be done, and that speedily
for their accommodation.
A Model Court—A Good Case for Sum
neb—Ku Klux !Ku Kuux !—On the uigbt
of the Ist hist., the smoke house of Mr. Isaac
Collins was “ scratched imo,” and relieved of
a quantity of meat. Suspicion, aud shoe tracks
led Mr. Collins and Mr. Jones to the house of
one Joe, (don’t know the other name,) and
they informed Joseph of the troubles he was
about to encounter.
On Sunday, (the second,) a Court was organ
ized as follows : “Major” Bulbwin, colored
was chosen Judge, and the two parties at va
riance were each allowed to choose six Jurors,
all colored. The Jurors were duly sworu—
the witnesses examined, and a verdict render
ed, giving Mr. C. thirty dollars damages. A
couamitiee was appointed by the “ Judge ” to
take charge of Joe’s cow, aud such other
property as would amount to the money.—
The verdict also required Joe to “leave the
county iu ten days.” It appears that Joe is in
clined now to object, and intends to bring the
whole party, Judge, Jury and Prosecutor to
grief, or to the Court House at least.
Such high-handed proceedings ought not to
be allowed, but as the Judge and Jury was of
the colored persuasion, it would prove a
“stumper ” to the loyal Congress to kuow how
to proceed in the premises.

F#ut Gaines, Ga., April 7th, 1871.
Eaitors Appkai. : As it became necessary
for you to publish something about my sus
pension as Solicitor General of the Pataula
Circuit, I modestly ask you to publish the fol
lowing fact*, to-wit: At the September Term,
1870, ot Clay Superior Court, the Grand Ju
ry presented Benjamin Smith and David Ran
kin for the offence ofa misdemeanor in this
that they used obscene language in the pres
ence of Mrs. S. A. Green, a female, sometime
between the first and tenth of October, 1870.
The Hen. John B. Johuson, of Clay, present
ed me the following from Mrs. Green and sou,
(with the request that I settle the cases,) to
wit :
“ Slate of Georgia, Clay County—
Know all men by these presents, that-in
view of certain personal and satisfactory con
siderations, together with immediate and
strong evidence of regret for the folly of the
action, and that it did not result troiu moral
turpitude, we have been induced to forgive
Beyyamiu J. Smith for a misdemeanor com
mitted at our residence in March, aud for
which misdemeanor a True Bill was found
agapust said Benjamin J. Smith atSeptem
bet term of the Superior Court in and tor
said county. Whereas, we are the only par
tiesjaggrieved, and beiieving that no practi
cal good can result from a prosecution et
said'misdemeanor, in view of the youth, the
uniftrmly-good conduct aud industry of the
said Benjamin Smith, we humbly petition the
Horwrable Solicitor General, in aud for tbe
Pataila Circuit, to euter a nolle prosequi in
said pase provided it be compatible with his
sens* of duty, aud that he thinks the ends of
justite will be thereby subserved.
[Sgned] - Mus. S. A. Gree.v,
Oft. Ist, 1870. W. T. Grbek>
Ujon this showing and request, I then and
thert agreed to the settlement of the case's up
on pyraent of costs, (as it was conceded
that' David Rankin bad said nothing for
whl'h he could be indicted,) and that I
woid make entry of settlement or ask the
Clefc to do so for me—living at that time in
Dawspn, I told them to pay cosls to the Clerk
and tie settlement would be made—as the
law inquires the costs in such cases to be paid
befoit the case is settled. After the passage
of thtact-of 1870, prohibiting the Solicitor
Genelal from settling and entering a nolle
prosefni in such cases, unless the conditions
of tba act were complied with. Mi’. B. J
Smitfiaud his friends (who were honorable
men) tailed on me several times when at
FoTt (Lines, and insisted .on settling, aDd
calkd my attention to the promise made by
me to the Honorable John B. Johnson in Oc
tober last. Finally £ told them or him that
1 would settle the case and give him that
benefit, and if the Court refused to allow the
settlement, which it might or might not, I
would return him the -money and I so inform
ed the Clerk. Mr. Smith paid me part of the
costs, and balance to the Clerk, and I entered
the settlement as if the entry had been made
about the time of my promise to Capt. John,
son. The fee charged was twenty-five dol
lars for B. J. Smith, and proposed to charge
David. Rankin nothing, as Mr, Smith inform
ed me that Mr. Rankin was not in fault.
At March term, 1871, of same Court, the
Court informed me it could not allow the
settlement under its ruling, it would allow
no settlement. I then tendered Mr. B. J.
Smith bis money, gave him notice of the
Judges’ refusal, and erased the settlement
from the Presentment, as I never undertake
to butt against the hand of a Court or Raise
him, knowing that he holds a strong hand.
For this, it appears. I was presented by the
Grand Jury of Clay county at last March
term, and waiving everything but a verdict
went into the trial, thinking the presiding
Judge wonld do me the justice to give the
law with his previous construction, as to fees,
in charge to the Jury. This he failed to do,
but charged the Jury that if I charged more
than five dollars I was gnilty, and as the
Court refused to allow the settlement it I had
received anything from Mr. B. J. Smith, 1
was guilty. The Jury so found.
The Court ruled out tire evidence going to
show that tLe settlement was made condi
tional, and was carried out in good faith on
my part. Now here is the verdict:
“ Mr, Parker, the Court is not of the opin
ion that you are criminally guilty,or that.there
was moral turpitude oa yonr part—in fact
from a knowledge ot your character the Court
knows it was not your intention to do wrong
- —but resulted from not having closely ex
amined the Act of October, 1870. You were
cOnvictu-d upon a mere technicality, and the
Court will do you the justice to say that the
fee charged by you Inis been usually al low
ill this and other Circuits, tor the Court has
conversed with the Judge in regard to these
fees—for these considerations, and.regretting
the consequences, the Court fines you iu the
stun of twenty-five dollars and costs.”
1 paid the fine aud costs and have the
elerk’s receipt for the same. Afterwards Mr.
B. J. Smith plead gnilty, and was fined.- 1
paid, his fine and proposed to pay any extra
costs demanded, but none were demanded. I
had the clerk give Mr B. J. Smith a receipt
in (nil—had it taken all the money I possess
ed it should have been done, for I never
knowingly wronged a man in my life—
but insults I must avenge,
I never forsook a friend or forgot a favor.
I love my friends—no man loves a friend
more than I, and I hate my enemies with in
tense hatred. No dishonest man is my
friend. I hate au impious, white livered,
mossy-back scroundrel who would “runagee”
during a war to escape God’s vengeance,
and then turn up after the war a pretended
patriot, w hile be sharpens his plans to black
en character. I will say no more, Messrs
Editors, I own that I am plain.
