THE APPEAL. J. P. SAWTELL, ELAM CHRISTIAN, EDITORS AN l> PROPRIETORS. CUTHBERT: FRIDAY, August 11, 1871. The Victoria League. We liave received a confidential circular from tliis Leage, which, said circular says, “is organized, equip ped, and in working order ; having its headquarters in New Tork, and co operative agencies ” in other cit ies. It the organization of anew political party to be called the “ Equal Rights Party,” consist ing of both sexes. Mrs. \ ictoria C. Woodhnll is the party’s nominee for President of the United States. Very sorry, Vic., but we can’t exactly “ see it ” in those lamps. If we lived in the land of “ new ideas,” where nothing is preposterous— where you strong-minded women demand the right to wear the breeches, we might, with fear and trembling “ accept the situation j ’ but living in this land of refined, modest, sensible women, we boldly affirm our opposition to your non sensical New England dogma of fe male suffrage. Just the idea of women in poli tics 1 Think of a caucus during the sitting of the Georgia Legislature, meeting in the back room of Dutch Pete’s lager beer saloon, enveloped in the smoke of two cent cigars ! Git eout, Vic! We shrink from the further portrayal of these disgust ing pictures. Just count us out, if you please. Some so-called ** new depart ures ”we can sorter stand, but a contemplation of this, tires our dis gust. Can’t you get up some other “ departure ?” It’s bad enough to have such a President as Grant; but when it comes to one. of these big-footed, blab mouth, strong-minded women, it’s terrible. You can run the race if you like j and we’ll have no more to say about it. So, it there are crazy vo ters enough in this country to elect yon, go ahead; and when the “ strong minded ” begin lo swarm around the White House, demand ing postoffices, geneialships, etc., shake not thy patent moliair locks at us. Thou canst not say we did it. Meeting of Randolph Agricultural Society. This Society met at the Court House in Cuthbert, on Saturday, August sth—President Wm. Cole man in the chair. In absence of the Secretary, Mr. Thomas A. Cole man was requested to act as Secre tary, pro. tem. On motion of O. P. Beall, a list of members was ordered to be pre pared, to be forwarded to the State Agricultural Convention. C. R. Knowles was elected to complete the Society’s delegation to the State Convention at Rome. On motion of Elam Christian, it was Resolved, That a committee of one from each Militia District be appointed to canvass their respect ive Districts, with a view to ascer taining the feeling of the people in regard to holding a County Agri cultural and Mechanical Fair at an early day. This committee consists of the following gentlemen: R. Critteu den, W. F. Davis, B. Stevens, G. S. Baldwin, N. M. Weaver, E. C. Grant, T. S. Yarbrough. On motion, the President was added to this committee. It was further Resolved, That a special meeting of this Society be held on the third Saturday in this month, at which time the Commit tee will report, and the necessary steps be taken for putting this en terprise on foot. The meeting then adjourned to meet the third Saturday. Thos. A. Coleman, Secretary, pro. tem. Grant’s Maneuvers in Flori da.—The Tallahassee Sentinel (Radical says : “The appointment of cx*.Congressman Hamiltion, as Postmaster of Jacksonville, creates some little astonishment in political circles, as it was generally under stood that Cheney, of the Union, was the lucky one. Rumor says that Hamilton comes to the State as the chosen champion of Presi dent Grant in the nominating can vass soon to occur, with full pow ers to make anew slate of Federal appointments in Grant’s special in terest. We do not vouch for this as being true; but if so, it will ren der the Jacksonville post office the central point of interest to our Fed eral appointess. Will the coming man “ harmonize ?" We trust so !” We believe “ harmonize ” in Rad ical parlance means to divide the plunder. '6® o > Lemon juice is the latest cure for diptheria. It is said to be effectual. One of Thompson’s Pqfent com mon road steamesr is to be on ex hibition at the State Fair, in Macon next October. The Crops. The Bainbridge Argus of the sth says cotton is growing rapidly, and improving every day. The hopes of our farmers are reviving. The same paper says “the rust has made its appearanco on the cot ton in portions of this county. A field near this place has shed it-s leaves and all the forms and young bolls are dead., All the maturing bolls are open.’’ The caterpillar Hy is believed to have made its debut, and apprehen sions of much injury to the cotton crop from this insect is being in dulged by many of the farmers in that section.. The Athens Banner of the sth says “the prospects for cotton and corn in tliis section are reported fair. Upland corn has suffered for rain, but it is hoped that the late showers have been so general as to secure a fair yield.” A correspondent writes to 'us from Auburn, Ala., August 3d: “Without rain soon, our cotton crops will be as seriously injured as our corn has been in consequence of too much rain.” The Griffin Star, of the sth inst., says : “We passed through a por tion of Pike, Meriwether, Coweta and this county, the first of the week, and found the crops suffering much more than we expected. There seems to boa streak running from Line creek through the lower por tion of Coweta and Meriwether, and extending into Pike, where they have not had a season in nearly sev en weeks. In many places fodder is literally burned up, and the stalks and ears of corn look as if they were dead. The cotton looks with ered, and we heard that in some in stances it was dying. To the above there were rare exceptions, where the corn was as fine as the ground could produce, and the eotton look ed healthy and vigorous. How far this drought extends we could not learn. The farmers generally have ‘laid by’ their crops, but seem dis couraged.” The- Boston (Thomas county) Journal of the sth instant says the .crop reports in that region are any tiling but favorable. The wanpof rain during the past month has cut the corn crop short, and it is feared a less quantity will bo made than was last year. Cotton is also great ly injured—first on account of the ex treme wet weather, and now on ac count of extreme dry weather.— Four or five open bolls of cotton on one stalk are reported, but this does not rejoice the farmers, for, say they, the weather is so dry and the sun so hot as to cause unmature bolls to open. The Home Commercial says : We conversed with several farmers yes terday from different parts of the county, who report the crop pros pects as very discouraging. With good rains the yield would not ex ceed a third of a crop. Every thing is completely burned up, except cotton, and a much longer contin ued drought would almost destroy that. The Columbus Sun, speaking of the crops in that section says: “If we have the very best of seasons we do not believe we can raise two thirds of ah average cotton crop. Nor are the reports from •other sec tions any better, Montgomery, Ala., had a big sensation the other day over a stalk of cotton five aud a half feet- high and containing num berless bolls. » Only one was exhib ited, but it depresed the market sadly. Ou August loth, last year, three new bales were received in Columbus. Don’t Want a Session of the Legis lature. The Quincy (Fla.) Journal in dis cussing the propriety of a Tax Pay er’s convention, similar to the one held in South Carolina, docs not fa! vor an extra seission of the Florida Legislature, in connection there with. That paper says : There is one idea connected with the convention which we regret to see in the last Floridian. It is the favoring of an extra session of the Legislature. We can think of no better way of expressing our opinion of the last Legislature, than by relating an anecdote we once heard of a very pious old preacher in Dooly county, Ga. There being but few preachers those days, this old gen tleman was called upon to do all kinds of religious services. It was in the time of the Clark & Troup controversy in that State, and the old getleinan was not exempt, pi ous as he was, from the political contagion of the day. He w T as a Tronpite, and, as was the case on both sides of that controvery, en tertained no equivocal opinion of an adversary. So it mattered not on what occasion old friend McGraw was called upon, he concluded his prayer by asking to be saved from all manner of evil, war, pestilence and famine —the devil and his imps, but more especially from the Clark party. So with us, we beg to be saved from another such assem blage of plunderers as was the ma jority party, of the last Legislature. It is on account in part of its cor rupt and villainous enactments, that the convention is called. Look at what it did, and judge if anything rightor just could be expected from it ? Nothing—but additional evil might with just reason be looked for ! As well might sweet odor be expected from a cest-pool as good from that corrupt concern. So whatever may happen, the Lord deliver us from another assemblage of the Radical members of the last Legislature. Besides, the good the Legislature might do, is only problematical while the. legitimate expense to be incurred is certain, and the contin gency for stealage, etc., pretty cer tain, therefore taking all things inj to consideration, let us not risk it. Andrew Female College. » Cuthbert, Ga., Aug. 7, 1871. Dr. A. L. Hamilton having re signed the presidency of this popu lar institution, upon the call of Rev. Samuel Anthony, President of the Board of Trustees, there was a full attendance of that body met in Cuthbert on the 4th inst. A number of names were present ed to the Board ; and after a free and full interchange of opinions, Rev. Jno. B. McGehee was unani mou.-ly elected President by accla mation, and S. F. Scaif elected to a professorship. It is indeed a source of gratifica tion to the many friends, and Board of Trustees, that in casting about for a President and Faculty, we find around us the gifted and ac complished Alumni of our own Col leges. We have gathered from the fruit matured by the heroic devo tion of Oxford, the Wesleyan, and other noble institutions, to the cause of Southern education. And thank God for giving us institutions of learning that are filling our land with and gentlemen ladies whose minds and hearts are cultivated to meet the educational demands of the age. We hail you, Educators, in our advance ascending the hill of science. We greet you with pater nal affection ; and delight in doing you honor. You have infused into us your spirit. We cannot occupy a subordinate position in the great arena of edu cation. Such an idea never entered our curriculum. We are coming, look out, and extend a paternal hand. For the accomplishment of this, our prayers will ascend, and our energies shall be untiring. We are happy to present to the numerous friends and patrons of this college, a President and Facul ty of accomplished ladies and gen tlemen, graduated at our own' in stitutions, worthy of your confi dence ; worthy of your most liberal patronage. Sustain them, and jour children, like them, will be* able to meet the educational de mands of their age. To build up our own institutions is to build up ourselves. • Rev. Willis M. Russell, of Bain bridge, Rev. J. R. Owen and J. McK. Gunn, of Cuthbert, were elected to fill vacancies in Board of Trustees. By direction of the Board. B. J. Baldwin, Sccty. Board of Trustees.

B. J.B. St. Paul’s Church. CuTHBERT, Ga., Aug. 8, 1871. Messrs. Editors : You very kind ly alluded in your last week’s issue to this commendable enterprise of our town ; we are happy to say to you that it is farther along the line of advance than you indicated. Our citizens have subscribed lib erally, and a large portion it promptly paid, which has .enabled us to pay “ on delivery ” for the en tire amount of building material which is now all here. The contract of building has been taken by Mr. Filliugame, a man of energy, who has employed a num ber of hands, and expects to com plete it in a few weeks. The frame was raised last week. The building is thirty by fifty feet in length, a platform of five feet across front end, fourteen feet between joints, ond a belfry. We promised many who sub scribed not to call until we needed the money. We are at that point now ; we are needing it now. — Some proposed instead of putting their names down, they would give the money when wo got to - paying oil the hands ; we are at thaty>Z«ce now. Some were holding back be cause our church lot w r as too small. It is. now large enough for seven churches. This leaves the seats and window sash unprovided for. The only plan for us, Messrs. Ed itors, to assemble our people for worship, is to get you to announce it in the Appeal. Will it not bes too bad to advertise each one to bring their own stool ? This church is an emblem of your liberality. One hundred and eigh ty-five dollars will get them. Who will aid ? B. J. Baldwin, For Building Committee. Dr. 11. 11. Tucker goes to Vir g-inia. Liabilit y of' Apothecaries—An Interesting Case. —An apothecary in one of the interior counties of New York was recently sued for, damages by the husband of a wo man to whom he sold laudnum, to be used as a beverage, find the Su preme Court of that State bas de cided that the suit can be maintain ed. The plaintiff avers that the apothecary supplied his wife with the narcotic day by day for six months, knowing the use she made of it, and that he was put to great expense in repairing the injury thus occasioned to her bodily and mental health. Tliis case presents an interesting feature to others than druggists and apothecaries. It is similar to that of the liquor seller, who supplies whisky to a habitual drunkard. If, therefore, the decision just referred to is maintained by the Court of Ap peals, why may not wives sue dog gery keepers who supply their hus bands with the “ liquid fire of dam nation ?” A few such damage suits, successfully maintained, would work a greater reform than it is possible for the Temperance Sosie tics ever to accomplish. During the past twelve months 104 houses have been built in Columbus, at a cost of 8150,000. In the suburbs of the city at least one hundred have been built.
