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.

Society.

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.

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.

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 ?

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.
