Bear in Mind. —When disease has under
mined fire health, and the physical system has
become prostrated a stimulant that will not
only strengthen, bnt remove the cause, should
be immediately resorted to. Mental distress
is also a fruitful source of the bre king down
of the constitution, and the ravages of this en
emy to health are truly alarming. For all
such maladies Hostetter’s stomach Bitters
have been found unsurpassed. By acting di
rectly upon the digestive organs, they remove
tlie heavy, disagreeable feeling alter eat in/,
so often complained of by persons of a del
icate temperament. As soon as digestion is
restored, the patient finds bis strength increas
ing, and his general health improved.
Thousands of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases ol weakness or nervous
debility attendant upon sedentary habits. The
generality of bitters are so disagreeable to the
taste that they are objectionable to a weak
stoniacl* This is no, the case with Hoiict
ter s Bitters, which will be fouud mild
and extremely p'easaut. Balsamic, plants,
barks and roots contribute their iestorativß
nice to render it soothing and strengthenin''.
Its basis is the only pure stimulant which has
ever been produced, containing no fu-il oil, or
any O her deleterious element The
careful and skillful chemists have analysed
the Bitters, and pronornee them lurmlet.. '
This is scientific testimony ; hut the testimo
ny .of the hundreds of thousands who have
.experienced the preventive and curative e fleets
of the great Vegetable Tonic and Alterative
of modern times is still more conclusive. In
Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Bllfonsuess, Ner

Another Death.- -Verily death is reaping
a rich harvest in onr community, at present.
Miss Julia Smith, daughter ot Dr. J. R. Smith,
of (his city, drcjl on Monday night last, after
a protracted illness, and was interred on
Wednesday morning. She was a dutiful
daughter—highly esteemed by all who knew
her.
“ Death lies on her, like an untimely frost
Upon tire sweetest flower of all the field.”
Coot..—Last Saturday and Sunday were
unusually cool days for the season m this

into requisition.

To Distillers.— lnternal Revenue Collec
tor Bancroft, of this city, has asked us to
make the following statements for the benefit
of those engaged in distilling fruits.
A license of fifty dollars must first be paid
—then a tax of fifty cents on each gallon
distilled—Hie party taking out license giving
bond not to manufacture other liquors than
those prescribed in said bond.
To secure license and give bond, applica
tion must be made to the Assessor and Col
lector at Macon.
The Grand Jury Presentments.— The
presentments of the Grand Jury for the May
term of our Superior Court, contains recom
mendations of vital importance to the, chit
zens of the county. The issuing of county
bonds are recommended to the amount, we
suppose, of fifteen or sixteen thousand dol
lars. The Ordinary is recommended to issue
bonds for building turnpikes, bridges, etc.
They also make important suggestions to
Road Commissioners.
Every citizen and tax-payer in our coun
ty Is directly interested in these things, and
we would advise them to call upon the clerk
of Court and examine these presentments for
themselves.
The Grand Jury has forbid the usual pub
licution ol these presentments—whether from
motives of economy, or a fear that the pub
lie would frown down their recommenda
tions, this deponent knoweth not. The first
reason is hardly plausible, however, in the
face of these heavy expenditures.
Another Good Citizen Gone.— Mr. W. E
Hickey, a well known and highly respected
citizen, died at the residence of Judge Gorm
ley, near this city on Monday last, alter a
very painful Illness of two weeks.
Mr. Hickey was a man respected and loved
by our entire community. Asa token of re
spect lor the dead all the business houses of
the'city were closed during the funeral hour,
and a large concourse ol citizens gathered at
the cemetery, to fee the body placed in its
last resting, place.

How these sad scenes should impress those
who walked with the departed, in the bloom

fact that the dread messenger comes in an

Qp.et.-—For the past two weeks our city
has been remarkably quiet. We have not
seen a drunk man, or heard of an- arrest by
the marshals during that time—except a few
stray pigs, that have boldly- disregarded tne
hog low, and we understand most of them
have given bond for their appeaiancb at hog

Not MAD.--L.ast week, in speaking of the
very pleasant affair-at the Baptist College on

The Crops. —During a recent trip through
a portion of the county, we were forcibly
struck with the extensive area planted'in corn
and oats, and the thrifty appearauce of the
same. We conversed with planters from dif
ferent portions of the county as well as some
of the lower counties, and it is generally es
timated that there has been a third more
corn, and a third less cotton, planted this year
than any year since the war.
Corn is looking flue, and we were told by
a planter, that he had one hundred acres of
com in Mitchell county that would nverag e
three feet id height, and that such corn
crops have never been known qs are to be
found in Mitchell, Miller and Baker coun
ties this year.

the pleasure on Wednesday of accompanying

we tound the corps of engineers busily en

be gratifying to our readers to know that ev
ery mile of the road is immediately covered
with hands as fast as the location is made,
and that the road will be graded and the
trains running upon it before the close of tbg
present year.
Messrs. Brown, Smith and Buchanan, of
this place, have taken the contract for grad

this road. . This is a sufßcieut guarantee that
the w ork will be done in the shortest possible

Cotton—lts First Culture
and Uses. —A correspondent of the
Charleston Courier has collated the
following interesting facts:
The name (cotton) is derived
from the Arabic word “ Koton,”
and is the spontaneous production
of all the inter-tropical regions. Os
the four great materials designed.
hy Providence for human clothing,
it is believed that none were assign
ed to Europe; to Asia all were
given. Cotton, flax, sheep auil the
silk worm to Africa, and America
cotton and flax—the one obviously
designed to be the most useful.—
Cotton was the last to be generally
diffused. For many centuries the
grow th and manufacture of it was
confined exclusively to India.—
Spain was the first nation in Europe
that cultivated the cotton plant,
and manufactured clothing from its
produce; both occurred in the
tenth century. The Moors (says De
Maries) brought with them the hus
bandry of rice and cotton, the mul
berry tree and the sugar cane. In
the year 1050, the priests of “San
Adveno ” were authorized to let
their church lauds for its cultivation.
In 1:92 the growth of cotton in this
country as a commercial article, was
unknown to Mr. Jay when negotiat
ing his treaty with England, in
which it was stipulated that no cdt
ton should be imported from Amer
ica. This is the reason why the
Senate refused to ratify the 12th
article of that treaty. In 1828 two
dollars a pound was paid in Charles
ton for two bags of extra fine,
grown on some of the Islands by a
Mr. Wilson, the highest price ever
paid till during the recent war.
•It may, also, be interesting to
know that in 1830-31, forty years
3go, upon a crop not exceeding one
million of bales, the price of fair
cotton was 9 and 9 12 cents. f
Twelve Lives for One., — Hen
ry Cannon and Taylor Palmer, the
two negroes who were convicted of
participation in the murder of
George Mattison Stevens in .Union
county, S. C, on the 3-lst of Decem
ber last, were executed at Union
Court House on the 28th u’lt. Brief
ly to recall the circumstances, they
were these : Stevens and a toamster
named Thompson were driving a
wagon in which they had a pack
age of whiskey, when they met a
squad of colored militia. The ne
groes took the whisky; and after
getting drunk, shot Stevens in cold
blood. Twelve were arrested. A
Judge Thomas issued a writ of ha
beas corpxis requiring them to be
brought to Columbia. Believing
this to be preliminary to their re
lease, a vigilance committee broke
the jail, huhg eight of them and
shot two. The remaining two,
above mentioned, were tried by the
regular court, convicted, and as
above noted, have now expiated
their crime.

Messrs. Editors : Will you allow me to
ask your readeis why people do not kntfw as
well when a poor man die?, a? when the rich
one does ? Why is it that every one has a
sick family, or has allowed "the boys” to go
off from the store—or suddenly finds that
they were *‘up late the night before,” when
they nre called upon to assist in rendering
the last tribute of respect to one though
humble Vet human, who has been called from
earth away ? Why is it that their ears grow
deaf when the wails of tlie widow and the
fatherless, the heart rending cries of “God
have mercy,” torn from the bleeding soul
breaks in upon the stillness of a lovely night,
making it almost hideous? But wDen a Dives
shuffles off his “mortal coil” but leaves be
hind the “change” to show that be was of
good report, the sensation created among the
••bon ton” (excuse my French) is almost
amusiug—Prayers from “long faces” (long
because such a time elapses between the first
and second) go up to the Throne they all
are going to sit on for the departed saint.
The soul of the bumble Lazarus uncon
cious es the injustice done the clay prisou
from which it has broken, wings its way to
the other world with scarce a single friend
to close tlie eyes that never Deamed upon you
without betraying a generous emotion.
It any will answer the above questions
they will confer a favor npon one whom
every body calls a “Hard Case.”
Kentucky—The Democratic State
Convention.
Frankford, May 4. —The Demo
crat io State Convention, which as
sembled at this place yesterday, was
largely attended. The following,
nominations were made: P. H.
Lesslie, Governor; J. G. Carlisle,
Lieutanant Governor; D. H. Smith,
Auditor; J. W. Tate, Treasurer;
11. A. M. Henderson, Superitendent
Public Instruction ; F. A. Dawson,
.Register of the Land Office; John
Rodman, Attorney General.
The following was adopted:
The Democratic party of 'Ken
tucky, reaffirming the principles an
nounced by conventions held since
the war, resolved,
First. Wise staetesmanship and
true patriotism require universal,
unqualified amnesty.
Second. The industries of the
country demand the abolition of the
present mode of raising revenue,
by which portions of the Republic
are oppressed and robbed to enrich
monopolies and certain sections,
and the spoedy adoption of a sys
teui by which the burdens of taxa
tion may be equally and justly dis
tributed, and the taxes actually paid
may reach the Treasury.
Third. The preservation of liber
ty is possible only through the States,
and we protest against every act by
which the States are deprived of
their just and constitutional pow
ers, and State tribunals are ousted
of their proper and necessary juris
diction, and wc are ready to join in
all lawful aud just measures to re-‘
verse the tyrannical acts of the par
ty in power, whereby it is sought
to strip States of all rights, and to
concentrate all the powers of the
Government in a great centralized
despotism.
Fourth. We endorse the address
recently issued by the Democratic
members of Congress, and until in
condemning all acts by which un
constitutional despotic powers are
conferred upon the President, by
which, with the use of tlie army
and navy, the suspension of the
writ ot habeas corpus, the power to
declare martial law, call out the
military arid invade a State without
the request of the Executive or
Legislature, and other- undefined
means, he can destroy the freedom
of elections, the independence of
the judiciary and the Sovereignty
of the States.
Fifth. Kentucky is unalterably
opposed to every form of lawless
ness, whether committed undercov
er of unconstitutional
or organized bands, and we pledge
ourselves, as occasion may arise, to
use every legal means to prevent
the one and to have enacted such
laws as experience may demonstrate
necessary to put down the other,
and to furnish protection to life, lib
erty and property'under the laws
enacted by our Legislature, and ad
ministered by our own Courts.

lt is well known that Atlanta
was recently disgraced by a huge
chicken fight. It is also well known
that all of her newspapers did
some of their “ tallest ” blowing to
induce people to go to see it. And
the Constitution and Era—since
the public has informed them that
it was a shame and disgrace—are
both claiming to have been the first
to condemn it. Gentlemen, couldn’t
you settle the question by another
cock-fight ?

—The New York Herald copies
editorialy in half a dozen places in
capital letters, the following state
ment from Gen. Sherman’s speech
in New Orleans in regard t,a the ex
istence of the Ku-Kluxj
“ I probably have as good means
of information as most persons in
regard to what is called the Ku-
Klux, and am perfectly satisfied that
the thing is greatly over-estimated ;
and if the KuKlux bills were kept
out of Congress and the army kept
at their legitimate duties, there are
enough good aud true men in all the
Southern States to put down all Ku-
Klux or other bands of marauders.”
Well, it is pretty conclusive testi
mony against the Radical clamor
about the Ku-Klux.
