THE ADVERTISER. ADVERTISER PUBLISHING CO. Cedaxtown, Ga., July 17. r '...I ~ V7M. BRADFOEPi - Editor Yellow Ferer. 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.

A partial np>*ri1roni the investi gation -of Ciii'ed States Treasu ry bonltV set on toot by Senator Da vis, of West Virginia, two yen’s ago. 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. And these are the people to whom Dr. Felton appeals, through Ferry, ch tirma i of their campaign coin mittees, for aid ih “reforming'’ the Democrats of the 7th Georgia dis trict.

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. The Echo says the squirrels are destroying the roasling-ears iu Ogle thorpe county.

McDuffie Journal: “In many •tections of this county the corn crops have lieen almost ruined by the pro tracted drought, while in others they hav? been materially injured.” Rev. Dr. L. M. Smith, formerly President of Emory College, Oxford, and who is well known in Macon, died in Birmingham, Ala., after a brief illness, on the 4th inBtant. He was President of Greensboro College at the time of his demise. A letter received in Savannah from Thomasville, Ga., says: “I have nev er in my life seen such a destruc tion of crops by drought In several places there are farms that will not make the seed which was plant-d, and, on aocoHnl of such a prospect of a failure, business is at a stand still.” Mr. J. F. Clarke, who lives on the Rutland place, in Monroe Coun ty, Jliad forty acres in oats, which, when threshed, yielded eight hun dred and thirty-three bushels. Harmony’ Northeastern Progress: “In addition to parching up the gardens in town, the drought leaves its ‘impress’ very visibly on the grow ing crops in the country.” Ilepoi ts state there is great need for rain in Jones county. The corn crop is luokfog wilted aud dried up. Prof. Jackson Cagle, on his re tirement on Wednesday,lrom Moore’s Business College, Atlanta, was per- sented by Col. Marcellus E. Thorn ton, on behalf of the students, a handsome gold headed cane as a tes timonial of their esteem. Those who are fortunate enough to have plenty of wheat, had better hold it It is increasing in value owing to the wheat crop failures in England. Crop reports, says the Albany Ad vertiser, are 6'iil discouraging. Sev eral farmers state that they have given up hopes of a corn crop, and intend to cut it down for.forage. There is a cry fot rain throughout the country. Gardens are drying up, aud vegetables are getting scarce. The Forsyth people, after five years of financial embarrassment and misfortune, have once more reached the sunny fields of prosperity. Bishop Beckwith and family lure gone to Salem, Ya., to spend the summer. The spi ing whe it crop of To i fer- io county is tiie&trg st and best that has been harvested in the County since the war.

The Baltimore Sun characterizes President Lester's opening speech before the General Assembly as “a model of brevity and good sense.” General Items. The New York Star notes that .‘lie Sun has finally doffed its pretended Democratic garb, and comes forth as a bona tide R publican orgau. Senator Saulsbury shotted the other day from Mr. Bristow’s report of steal ige in 1876 from the govern ment crib that lb-publican officials were chargeable at that time with 45,500,595 93 which has gone out ol sight in tlieir capacious pockets. The postmasters got away with 4373,- 371 94 of this, and the collectors of infernal revenue “scooped” to the extent of 42.312,544 20, and the one- hundredth part of the stealings were not recorded. When Boutwell was Treasuer he admit'ed that the delin quencies in one department alone amounted to 4120,000,000. It is claimed By those who have studied the subject that men who are born blind never learn to smoke. It was officially announced the other dav by the. French Minister that France would need 4100,000,000 of American wheat. The English demand will be considerably larger. There will, says the Baltimore Ga zette, thus be no difficulty in dispos ing of our immense snrplns at high prices, bringing to the wheat grow ers a very handsome return on their investments of capital and labor. This will give them some 4200,000,- 000 to spend, and the merchants will in turn get the benefit of it.

In the county of Augusta, Va., they have assessed and levied a tax on dogs, out of which tax, when collected, the county remunerates parti?8 who have lost sheep through- ont the county during the year for which the tax is collected. There were 230 Blieep killed by dogs in the county during the year ending the first of May, for which the sum of I 4622 98 has been paid. Communicated. 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.

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.

The weakness of the present bill was caused by haste and igno- ranc’. It repealed tho duty on all 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.
