It would be interesting to know
just bow many of those righteous
statesmen who were so horrified at
the thought of letting Treasurer
Benfroe off with anything less than
the extreme penalty of the law had
bribes in their pock<tg in the shape
of free passes on * railroads whose
interests were to be affected by their
official acts. But that will never be
known. Those legislators are fierce
investigators — of everybody but
themselves. There js some consola

iDsarSir: Your communication
rtf> the 11th inst. to the Postmaster at
Cedartowu was sent to me, request
ing a reply to the same, setting forth
the facts in regard to a publication in
the Atlanta Cons'itution of the 7th
inst, in relation to the fever that has
prevaild and is -prevailing in the
counties of Polk, P. aiding and Har
alson. I am happy to state that ihe
whole picture is .monstrously over
drawn. I will, in as brief manner as
I can, give you a history of the facts
in regard to the fever, which has been
so much exaggerated and of which
so many wild and sensational stories
have been told. It is nothing more
nor less than Typho-malarial fever
with all its leading, prominent symp
toms fully developed as described by
Prof. Flicfcand-other leading authors
and as observed myself in fo' mer
fears. The first cases occured
in the Utter part June, about the
time of some of our hottest weather,
the temperature running very high,
more so than nsnal in onr mountain
ous and salubrious conn-try, the heat
rauguig 95 to 100 degress Far. I
had the first case of the fever that oc»
cured in this connty to the best of
my knowledge and diagnosed and
pronounced it to be Typho marariul
f*rer. In a short time I had two
other cases of the same character and
in all I had ten cases in an area of
abont six miies, fivj of the cases oc
coring in this town and the others m
the conntry. Some of the cases prov
ed fatal, four of the cases died in this
town. One recovered. Two of the
cases in this place ralapsed after the
fever had run its coarse and after co-
val.-scence had commenced, one also
in the country. I think they would
havego:|well with good nursin’. I have
on hand two cases of the lever in the
coontry. There is none in the town
at this time, and but little sickness
of any kind. The cases are confined
mostly to yonng persona from eight
to twentyiyears of age, attacking alike
both male and female. It is as usual
a slow fever and takes it from two to
four weeks to run its course. The
disease seems to be abating as I know
of but two cases in our vicinity, and
one said to be iu Paulding county.
The cases that now occur are of much
milder typ- and more manag.able,
and hope the disease may entirely
disappear though we may have cases to
eontinne to occur a good part of the
winter. The most o! the first cases
were of *eyere or violent typho and
resisted tfe* best treatment, and I
think wQijld have died under any
course ol treatment known to the
profession. In some of the cases I
had in consultation some of the best
physicians in our section of country
who fully agreed with me in regard
to the nature of the fever anti its
treatment. la regard to Paulding
re pnri
with typhoid fever was sick hut eight
or nine days and am informed by re
liable parties who live in his neigh
borhood ai d saw him during his ill-
n»=«, that his disease was of the char
acter of Pneumonia, and that there
was no oozing of blood from his ears
and month before his death, as repor
ted in the communication in the At
lanta Constitution,
The excitement arose in the first
place from the first cases of this fe
ver proving fatal, which caused the
must wild and unreasonable reports
to lie scattered through the country,
some asserting the disease contagious
and as mnch to he dreaded as Yellow
feyer, and the reports grew worse the
farthtr they went, until it was re-
por ed that we were having at the
rate of ten or fifteen deaths a day and
that I was down with the fever and
likely to die and not only so bnt was
really reported as dead.
I inertly state these facts to show
how reliable or what these flying re
ports are worth. If there is any
thing or feature in the disease that
is peculiar or different from the
fever that we have had in former
years, I have not detected it, and I
nave been treating the same disease
for twenty-five years or more at dif
ferent periods, and I think I under
stand it as fully as I do any other
fever. We had the same fever in
1861 and 1862. It prevailed in the
epidemic form and mnch more ex
tensively than this fever has so far.
In some localities hardly a house es
caping. We have had since that
time sporadic cases at different times
of the same character. In 1877 and
1878 I had several cases in different
localities in this connty; the most of
the cases recovered. Bnt this sea
son it comes in the form of a regu
lar epidemic, as I hear ol it prevail
ing in all the surronndiug counties
iu different parts of the State, and
in most of the cities of the State,
and also in other States.
I must say that the health of our
town and surrounding country has
been very good except what cases of
typho-malarial fever we have had,
and in proportion to the number of
population onr mortuary is quite
small, and will compare favorably
with that of any other section or
State in the Union. So far you can
j idge of the facts and the truth in
regard to the above disease. The
description as published in the At
lanta Constitution makes it as terri*
ble as the plague or spotted typhns
fever, and which is calculated to '
deceive, mislead and injure not only
our people, but others who may be
disposed to visit our section or town.
Hoping the above may be satisfac
tory and that I have not been too
tedious, I am, very respectfully,

CAPITOL CORIiESPOJiDEXCfi.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 23,1879.
Dear Doctor: You might at
tend for weeks upon the sessions of
the present General Assembly and
you would not hear uttered the
words retrenchment or reform. Yet
this Legislature, in good faith and
with a 7.eal and energy unsurpassed,
is endeavoring to give a meaning and
a practical effect to the cry for “re
trenchment and reform,” which has
so long been upon the lips of every
citizen and which has heretofore been
meaningless, an empty sound, seem
ingly fit only to ronnd the periods of
the mouthing demagogues. .If it
be true, as charged in your editorial
of last week that we are “running
investigation mad,” it is surely “lean
ing to virtue’s side” and the people
are hound to sustain ns, unless they
prefer the shadow to the substance
and fair words to actual work. For
the work which we have commenced
The precedent which Mr. Renfro*
offers tn justification qf his conduct
was, I think, the strongest argument
against the policy of accepting his
proposition, for had the Legislature
of 1871 donejita’duty in the At.gier
case, Mr. Renfroe would have heeded
the warning and avoided the rock
on which he has split. Mr. Renfroe
went into office at a time and nnder
circumstances which ought to have
taught him to conform strictly to
the letter and spirit of the laws
which control and regulate the pow
ers and duties of a State Treasurer,
and his actions are clear and con
vincing proofs that, in this day and
time, nothing short of the ettremest
penalty of the law will deter the
public officers from violating their
trusts and keep corruption without
the portals of the State house.
There was one fact outside of Mr.
Renfroe's own misdoings which crea
ted against him, and justly too, a
vast deal of prejudice. His clerk,

committee could easily obtain them
from sources other than his own tes
timony. He was not as open and
straightforward in this statement as
he might have been, underrating his
receipts of commissions from the
banks by something over six thou-
sand dollars, and although he did
not keep any account, this could
not have been an honest mistake.
His plea of ignorance of the law
and the underground manner in
which these commissions were paid
to and received by him are plain
contradictions, and have in them th<
unmistakable air of bad faith and
are convincing evidence of an inten
tion to evade the law. He specn
lated in the funds of the State, not
boldly and above board, but secretly
and indirt ctly, in violation 6f the
letter and spirit of a constitutional
provision as plain, simple and une
quivocal as the language could make
it; a provision which he must have
known and understood as accurately
as the ablest lawyer within the limits
of the State. The language o' the
constitution is that, “The Treasurer
shall not be allowed, directly or in
directly, to receive any luud, in'er-
est or rewards from any person, bank
or corporation, for the deposit or
use, in any manner, of the public
funds.”
Is there a sane man, who speaks
the English tongue, be he learned
or unlearned, who could mistake or
misconstrue this language ? My
conclusion, and the conclusion of
every unbiased mind, was that the
plea was false in fact and an aggra
vation of the crime. When, through
the medium ol an investigating oom-
mittee, his repealed violation of this
law is made known, the proposition
which he makes to the Legislature
is a superb exhibition of what, in
slang phrase, would be termed
“cheek.” When boiled down it is
simply this, “I have prostituted my
high office to the purposes of pri
vate gain, rot expecting my acts to
be unearthed and called in question,
but since I have been detected and
there is no escape from punishment,
I am ready to pay into the treasury
a part, not the whole, of the money
which l have illegally received, re
sign my office and go hence without
a day.” To have accepted snch a
proposition would have been placing
a most enticing example before the
future incumbents of the treasury
department, and would have been
a precedent which the present Leg
islature, in justice to themselves and
to the country, could not well afford,
to establish.
and smiling, carrying with him a
princely fortune which he has
amassedj within the short space of
three years. It cannot be that the
Treasurer is ignorant of the means
by which’ thiB fortune was accumu
lated, however much igsoranue he
may lay claim to. Soma of the
means employed by Mr. Murphy are
known beyond the inner circle of
his friends and associates, but how
many of his sharp tricks aid devices
are hidden from the public will per
haps neyer be known
In the debate on the report of
the committee appointed to investi
gate the principal keeper of the Pen
itentiary, Col. Luffman, of Murray,
said that “Nelms was • coon of the
Governor’s own catching, and let
him skin him as he pleases”—he
being the Governor’s appointee. The
Honse, after extended debate, it
seems, reached this conclusion and
referred the whole mattci^together
with the evidence taken before the
committee, to the Governor. This
throws the responsibility, one which
he certainly did not coart, npon the
Governor of determining the charges
preferred against Nelms, the law
vesting in him the power to remove.
The evidence shows.some illegal and
high-handed acts on the part of
Nelms, and shows also his utter in
competency. I cannot conjecture
what action the Governor will take.
In this connection an attempt was
made to hold the Governor responsi
ble for the illegal conduct of the
principal keeper, the charge being
that he had ratified some of the ille
gal acts and therefore ought to re
ceive the censure which was aisled at

itself to the destruction of that har
mony which had thns far existed.
Their wives became ememies, thus a
necessity was created for another
house. Very soon another good
farm honse was erected on the other
plantation, which was contiguous to
the one upon which the first man
sion was bnilt. By mutual consent
a certain number of days was spent
in the midst of each family. When
those days expired to a minnte they
would start for the other residence;
neither affection or business detained
them—to the other they would go,
without let or hindrance. One be-
ing a man of sterling worth, sober,
prudent aud industrious; the other
disposed to be ill and inclined to
drunkenness; they would frequent
ly quarrel and sometimes fight,
drawing deadly weapons. Their
neighbors wonld be called npon to
settle difficulties between them. Still
success attended their efforts, leaving
a handsome fortune to each family
at their death. Without the know
ledge of the first one being sick, who
died in the night, the survivor as
certaining his brother was "dead,
became much alarmed and survived
his brother only about three hours,

hair. To arrest these causes the article used must
possess medical a* well as chemical virtues, and thor
change must begin nnder the tenhp to be of perma
nent and lasting benefit. Such an articlo is CAR-
BOLIN5, and, like many other wonderful discov
eries, it Is found to consist of elements almost in
their natural state. Petroleum oil is the articlo
which is made to work such extraordinary results;
hut ft is after It hns been chemically treated cod
completely deodorized that it is in proper condition
for the toilet. It was in far-off Russia that the
I effect of petroleum upon Hie hair was first dhserved,
a Government officer having noticed that a partially
I bald-headed servant of his, when trimming the
lamps, had a habit ef wiping hie oil-besmeared
hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a
few months a mnch finer bead of black, glossy hair
than he ever had before. The oil was tried on.
horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the
cattle plague, and the remits were as rapid as they
were marvelous. The manes and even the tails off
borsee, which had fallen out, were completely re
stored in a few weeks. These experiments were
heralded to the world, bat tho knowledge was prac
tically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, aa -
no one in etrlHzed society could tolerate the nee of
refined petroleum as a dressing fee the hair. Bnt the
skill of one of onr chemist# has overcome the diffi
culty, and by a prneesa known only to himself, hw
has, after very elaborate and costly experiments, suo>
seeded in deodorizing refined petroleum, which
senders it susceptible of being handled as daintily
aa the famous mn d* cologne. The experiments with:
tike deodorized liquid on the human hair were at
tended with the most astonishing results.©A few
applications, where the hair was thin and falling,
gave remarkable tone and vigor to tho scalp and
hair. ^ Every panicle of dandruff disappeeee on
the first or second dressing, and the liquid so search
ing in its nature, seems to penetrate to the soots at
once, and set np a radical change from the starL It
is well known that the most hmatifui colon aro
made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious
operation of nature, the nee ef this article gradu
ally imparts a beautiful light-brown color to the
hair which by continned use, deepens to a black.
The color remains permanent for an indefinite length
of time, and the change is so gradual that the most
friends can scarcely detect its progress.
In a word, It Is the most wonderful discovery off
the age, and well calculated to make the prema
turely bald and gray rejoice.
We advise our readers to give it a trial, feel tow
satisfied that one application will convince them off
its wonderful effects.—Pittsburgh Commercial cf
Oct. 22, 1877.

thousands who are using it with the most gratifying
and encouraging results :
