Tbis fearful scourge made its np
pearance lust week in Memphis.
Appearing at least a month earliei
i)j in last season it of coarse caused
the greatest consternation in that
plugne-strickfln city. For several
days after the first case was reported
the people poured out of the city
by thousands. Trains on all roads
k«\ing the place were doubled and
(I rioted and still could not carry
Ihe panic-stricken population away
as fast as they desired to go. At
last accounts the excitement had
greatly abated, the people were re
gaining their senses and ceased leav
ing town. Only three cases were
certainly known of; one of these
had died. It is argued by some that
these are merely sporadic cases that
almost invariably follow an epidemic
like that of last year, and that it is
more than likely there will be but
few, if any other cases. But thi^is
by no means certain. While it may
be true that two great epidemics have
never followW each other in succes
sive years, yet wc have no means of
knowing that such a precedent will
uot be establish* d this year.
Attention, Independents!
Col. M. E. Thorton, the daddy,
so to speak, of independentism in
Georgia, has issued a call for a con
vention of his party to assemble in
Atlanta on the 24th inst, to pre
pare for the great work that awaits
them in 1880. Those of that “faith
and order” in this section will please
take notice and govern themselves
accordingly. The Col. desires fn'l
representation from every county
and we hope the—the what-do-you-
call-ems of Polk will respond with a
a strong delegation. We could name
a highly representation ticket to send
down bat as it is none of onr funer
al we desist. We have a friendly
feeling for this movement, in some
respects. We think it best to have
two parties in Georgia, and, as the
old repulican party is, in our opin
ion. too dead to be galvanized into mo
tion again, we think the best thing
for those who desire to fight the dem
ocratic party to do is to organize un
der Col. Thor!on’s tri-colored ban
ner and march to—to—to the result,
whatever that may be. It is a fore
gone conclusion, we believe, that all
of ns can not or will not fight under
the democratic standard. This be
ing the case, we think a new organi
zation, with a platform elastic enough
to allow of considerable stretching
in certain directions, a prime neces
sity to Georgia politics. Two organ
ized parties with well defined lines
of demarkation would give us a good
square fight iu 1880, rud this would
be a great improvement over the ir-
regular, sharp-shooting, bushwhack
ing, guerrilla warfare that lias been
the style of late in some portions of
the State. Campaigns would then be
conducted with less acrimony and
.ill blood and we would all be in a
'better humor generally. For these
reasons we would be glad to see Col.
Thorton’s enterprise boom, in a mild
way, and shall charge nothing for
.giving it a small sized boost occasion
ally.
The Cental System.
The New York Produce Exchange
has decided to buy and sell by the
hundred weight, or cental, instead of
the diverse and inconvenient men-
cures now in use. There are many
advantages in this over the present
method, chief among which is that
^everything, whether it be eggs or
oils, provisions or petroleum, cheese
or corn, salt or stock—all are bought
and .sold by the pound. They have
issued the following preamble and
‘resolution:
Whereas, On the 21st day of
May last the question whether this
exchange wouid adopt the centul
system in all transactions in ptojluce
dealt in by weight, was submitted to
the members of the Exchange by a
vote, and was emphatically approved;
your committee now recommend
that in accordance with that action
the different trades repieseuted on
’Change be requested to arrauge so
that all their dealings in grain,
flour, meal, provisions, lard, tallow,
butter, cheese, petroleum, naval
stores, oils, hay, salt, seed,dried fruit,
live and dressed stock, freights,
storage and all other articles of pro
duce that are or may be dealt in on
the Exchange, and insurance there
on, shall on and alter a certain fixed
<i*'e be exclusively on the basis of
weight, the unit of transactions to
be the •pound avoirdupois, and the
multiple thereof to be the cental, or
one bundled pounds avoirdupois;
and your committee respectfully
suggest October 1, 1879, as a suita
ble day for such change to take effect.
The following was adopted :
Resolved, That the Committee on
Trade be authorizi-d to correspond
■with other trade organizations, and
do whatever else may be necessary
to carry the foregoing recommenda
tions into effect.

is said by the Courier Journal lo jus-
tifiv the charges ma le by that Sena
tor' ill 1876, that hundreds of mil
lions have been stolen. When Bout-
well was Secretary of the Treasur.
the eraser was very busy, but with
a'l this patient and careful revisioi
and alteration of the account book.*
no two of them seem to agree on tin
expenses of a single year ; and when
compiling statements for several
years not one of the series agree with
another.
The report of the public debt
m wle in 1871 differs from that made
in 1370 for the same year by two
bnndred and ninety-nine millions,
eight hundred and one thousand,
lour hundred and thirty dollars and
two Cent*. Omitting all mention ol
the two cents, it is obvious that such
a difference in the debit account of
the country for the same period,
merits attention. Several poor tax
payers would be sensibly relieved
wiili even the half of that sum in
their pockets.
But not only do the Treasurer’s
books and reports disagree with
themselves and with the printed re
ports of the Department, so that
the same item is not often twice sta
ted in the same figures, but they dif
fer from the Register’s looks which
should furnish a perfect transcript of
them, to the extent of o.ie hundred
and thirty five millions of dollars—
a large sum for a rainy day.
Also, sales of “captured and aban
doned property,” of the rebels were
made at the close of the war to the
amount of upwards of two hundred
milli ns of dollars, but there is not a
hint or suggestion in the Treasure's
books to indicate what became of
that money. The Courier Journal
adds sorre other little discrepancies,
as follows:
Thereport of navael expenditures
of the year 1865 and the finance re-
pjrt ol" 1870 differ from the report of
the same expend! tires in 1869 o the
extent of about $50 000. The re
port of 1871 increases the expendi
tures of the year 1803 in the War
Department 44 015 800 over the fig
ures of the report of 1869 for the
same year.
There is a discrepancy of 42 074,-
706 35 in the report of the true ex
penditures m the Indian Depart
ment for the year 1SG3 made in the
finance report for 1870, as c6mp;.red
with the figures for 1863 in the re
port for 18C3.
Thereport of 1871, ns cimpnred
with the report of I860 increases the
statement of expenditures from 18G0
to I860, ns made by the report lor
1869, to the extent of 415,590,529 29.
There is a discrepancy of over
♦ 13,000,000 between the statements
of the amount of pensions paid from
1860 to 1870, made in the finance
report of 1875, and the Commissioner
of Pension’s r. port in 1876 for the
same p riod. These are only a !ew
of the discrepancies in these reports.

Should the State Sell her Railroads!
This question is suggested by read
ing the report o 1 ' Mr. J. W. Renfr >e
ihe Treasurer of Georgia, lie as-
suris us, and tnere is no doubt
about the correctness of bis estima
tes, that "if the propel ty of the
State were sold, it would ;>ay the en
tire debt of the State which amounts
to 410,344.500. The interest on tbis
debt is given at 4G84,135. While the
income lrom railroad rents, telegraph
stock dividends, and rents of public
building will am. nut to 4343,32S—
showing a difference between the in
come from this property and the in
ter- st on the debt it would pay, if
sold, of over 4340,‘ CO. This d,Ter
ence must be made up by taxes on
the property of the p -ople—a prop
erty that is groaning under burdens
that have shrunk it to a “rock bed
basis” of valuation.
In view of these facts we do not
hesitate to say tha* ilie State should
sell her property and pay her debts,
aud relieve her citizens of this great
load of taxation. And b sides this
it would make the Treasury Depart
ment of the State a much more wiel-
dy department by lopping from it
the bond, interest, and Railroad and
Telegraph Stock Bureaus, and with
these bureaus would be lopped large
items of excuse, made necessary by
keeping them up. To sell out and
pay up would be infinitely better
than issuing even four per cent,
bontls at par.—Columbus Times.

About Bees.
Mr. Ei.itor: Having had some
experience in bee keeping. I think
1 have learned a little about the busy
bee. I find in a certain condition
they arc not quite so busy as they
are sometimes represented to be.
But then I do not blame them for
their idleness, for I think the apia
rian is as much or more to blanc
than the bee. Of eighteen colonies,
I have one that has stor.d more sur
plus honey this spring than all the
other seventeen. Why is this? I
think I know. It is in good condi
tion ; that is, it has plenty of bees
in it. The fact is I have made haste
too fast. Had I understood the
matter fonr years ago, as I do now,
I might have had much more
honey, as well a* more beesj I have
“killed the goose that laid the gol
den egg” by trying to increase the
number of colonies. My advice to
all beginners is, “make haste slowly.’
The idea of artificial swarming is a
good one. provided you have eight or
more good strong colonies which are
gathering honey rapidly. Then yon
may take one card from each colony
till yon get enongh to filL*jonr new
one. Be sure yon fill your new hive
with full frames of healthy brood,
supplying their places in the old
hives with empty frames, and let
these cqjpty f-ames be near the cen
ter of the hive, as the bees are more
apt to fill them immediately.
I think it is a good plan not to
divide, or let them swarm naturally,
either, unless tha honey .season is
gjod. Instead of this, have yonr
queens with one wing cut off, and
when the swarm issues, let them re
turn to the hive, and eive them an
other box, or more room of some
sort. With the patent movable
comb hive one may learn a great
deal of the nature aud habits of the
honey bee, provided he can I«y aside
all bigotry and superstition. If he
knows it all (in his own estimation)
he will not be very apt to succeed.
If he is superstitious, he is apt to do
his bees as much harm as good in
carrying out lrs superstitious no
tions. I once visited a man several
days after his wife died, and I noticed
that hives were all reversal, that is,
the entrance slat was in an opposite
direction to what it had been. I
asked him why he lurned them.
Said he, “After my wife died, they
told me if I did not turn them
around my bees would do no good.”
I have heard of men talking to their
bees and telling them of their trou
bles. I gness this turning is equi
valent to the talking. It saves some
time to the man, but Cannes a good
deal of annoyance arid loss time to
the bees, So I don't know .that-there
is anything gained in the end.
Receipes for Making and Killing Towns.
Floating around monglhc mass of
good things, now a-days to be found
in the Sunday supplements of the
geat eastern papers, are the folio v-
ing rescipes, |the one for making a
live town, the other for killing a
town.—This is the one for macing
alive town:
1. Sell yonr building lots at rea
sonable prices.
2. If yon can aff ird to do so, do
nate a building lot fur some largt
business enterprise, and thereby en
hance the value of town property.
3 Induce business men to locate
in yonr own town.
4. Patronize the business men of
your own town.
5. Sum np your expenses when
you visit places outside of your own
town to buy goods.
6. Speak well of worthy public en
terprise.
7. If anything should be underta
ken that may be of benfit to ihe
town, do not speak ill of it to others
because you happen to be prejudiced
j against it
8 Speak well to strang rs of your
town and its peopl-.
9. If yon have a snrplns of money
do not invest it in far-off specula
tions, but give yourself and your
town the benetic of it by establishing
some profitable factory.
10. Encourage your local newspa
per by subscribing for, advertising
in and paying for it
If the above recipes should be ad
hered to strictly the town is sure to
be lively and prosperous. Follow
ing is how to kill a town ;
1. Put up no more buildings than
you can occupy yourself.
2. If you should hnve"an empty
building to rent, demand three times
its value.
3. Look sorrowful; be little, and
insnit every new comer; give the
cold shoulder to, and underrate every
mechanic and professional man who
desired to come’ among you.
4. Go abroad for your goods and
wares. By no meaus purchase from
yonr own merchants and mnnnfuc-
tures, even at the same price or less.
5. Finally, give a thorough finish
to yonr work by working against
yonr local paper. Bemean everybo
dy connectinl with it; refuse to sub
scribe to or advertise in it, so that
persons living at a distance will not
know that any business is being done
in your *own," or they may want to
come and settle among you, or buy
something lrom yon and that would
give you trouble.
Go by this last recipe and the
town is sure to be killed.
What they Think,
The Wesleyan isng iinst the whole
! qtor business hig and littlei We
have asked th- opinion’of orifirra-
d rs. Here f How two short expres-
s ons—long enough, unmistakable,
an 1 on the right lines:
1. From Y rona, Miss., June 20.
"Rev. R. G. Porter writes: ‘ Every
where in Mississippi where then? are
retail dram-shops, yon see drunken
men and hear of broils and fights.
Wherever there are no dram-shops,
yon rarely over see a drunken man
or hear of a fight or fuss. A drug
store held in check by law, is letter
than a saloon turned hose bylaw.
I speak from personal observation.
If we must have one of two evils,
give ns the least of the two.”
2. From Nacoochee, Ga., June 23.
J. J. Verner writes: “I never lived
in a town where the sale of whisky
was prohibited, but once lived in a
town where the bar-keeper would
occasionally rnn out for a few days.
1 noticed that the tipplers would
seek other and more profitable em
ployment than lying around tliebar-
room, drinking, swearing, etc. I
moved here a few months ago, where
there was no whisky sold for several
miles, and everybody was at work.
Now there is a liquor-shop within
half a mile of me. A certain class
of men spend their time in drink
ing. card playing, etc. Their fami
lies are neglected and some of them
suffering. I am in favor of absti
nence and prohibition, as far as we
can get tr. I want the sale of whisky
prohibited, at least, within tiiree
miles of our Nacoochee churches.
Go on with your good work.”
At present the case stands thus:
The State permits, for a considera
tion, the dning of a wrong thing,
which it does not tux but fine. But
the fine is not large enongh to in
demnify society for the expense in
curred in protecting itself against the
evils that grow out of the business.

Advocate.
Sensible Sentiments.
The press and people of the State
are very much exercised about Judge
Ilillyer's charge to the jury in the
Ilill-Simmons case. ’1’is strange,
passing strange, that a judge shun Id
be sharply criticised for charging the
law. Public sentiment ought, at all
times, encourage and sustain the
judiciary in the rigid enforcement of
the law. No sickly sentimentality
ner false ideas of the wonnded honor
should warp public sentiment. There
are cas s v.lien tie hnsbind his a
right to defend the sanctity of the
marriage tic even to the Blnying of
the destroyer of that holy relation,
!>ut, for one, we do not believe that
Mr. Hill’s case was such an one. The
evidence will not bear that construc
tion, and the jury so said. Let the
judiciary be criticised, if needs be, for
failure to enforce the laws, bnt nev
er for not enforcing them. Let [not
ihe lawB b: paralized by the clamors
of those who may be the first to
claim their protection.—Thomasville

forms of manufactured quinine, bnt
was, according to expert testimony,
written in ignorance of the rather
important fa-t that South America
was not the only locality from which
the bark could be procured, and the
still other fact that there is a duty of
ten per cent, on the bark from East
India or west of Good Hope. There
was no tariff on South American
bark, which, by reason of the tariff
on the East India bark, was furnish
ing almost the sole supply to this
country. Great Britain receives E st
India bark free, and it is from this
source that we npicted to profit by
competition ; yet, as will be seen,
there is a discrimination against the
foreign manufactured article of ten
per cent.
As this important fact becomes
more and more developed, the peo
lor a thousand years, prospered and
flourished in any country in which
the Christian religiou is not tanglit.
It requires the peculiar cast ol Chris
tian civilization, the moral, refining
and elevating influences of Cliristi-
anty to fit and qualify men for the
discharge of those great, moral social
unties which are at the foundation
of Masonry. The genrul exception
is to Juduitm, where it preddnnna
t>s and is sufficiently strong in Its
organiz ; d capacity to exercise a mor
al influence-. It is an exceptional
case of individual Indian chiefs,
Turks and Arabs, who from contact
with civilization, have been deemed

Whipping the Whooping Cough.
Physicians pronounce this un

Nothing Strange in it.
The Rome Courier seems to be
surprised that Dr. Felton occasion

in Congress on party issues. This
does not surprise us as he was elected
by the votes of Republicans, and he
w'onld be very ungrateful if he were
not to divide his vote between the
two partus, for he did geb some
Democratic votes, and consequently
he is what is known in latter day
politics as a fence rider, or a milk
and cider Democrat In other words,
he is a beautifully variegated politi
