WEEKLY BANNER-WATCHMAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1886 PROF. WHITE’S PEASANTRY. Prof. II C. White delivered one of his very able addresses before the las; meeting of the State Agricultu ral^) Society, and this time he took for his theme the labor of the South., Ptof. White contends that tl,e nejio is wo thless, thriftless, ami iuc’i a ‘le ot any advancement or improvement. His plan i» o substitute for the African a white peasar try, and thinks the railroads, associations of farmers and the state should unite and import good white laborers trom the North and Lu- tope- The Professor's proposition reads ve-y nicely on paper, but it is entirely impracticable. In the first place, no reliable class of white la bor will consent to come to Georgia and compete with the negro, who can live on a mere pittance and oc cupy a stick-and-dirt hovel; and then again we seriously doubt if a Southern larmer and one of Prof. White’s -peasantry” would get along for si:; weeks together. You won't find any white man willing to get up in the night and catch your horse, to black your boots, and ever ready to be subject to your beck and call, as is the negro. Our farmers have always been used to commanding the most implicit obe dience from servants, and hence it woidd take no time for them to clash with white labor. Then our lands have been badly worn and are very thin, and the planters are not able and would not pay the wages demanded by these imported labor er. They had sooner go out and pick up two or three negroes, even if thev aie slow and uncertain. Gov. Colquitt tried this “peasantry” busi ness to perfection, and made a most disastrous failure. He collected thousands of dollars fiom the far- meis of Georgia, and piomised in return to fill the state with skil eJ while laborers from the Old World. After sending out agents and flood ing Europe with the most glowing circulars, the Governor .succeeded in getting to Georgia an old Dutch man and his wife, who opened a beer saloan in Augusta. And this will just about be the •ntcome of Prof. White’s peasantry. Just as fast as they can rake together $^o or $100 they will move to some town or city, where it is easier to make a living. A European or Northern— don’t like to face tl ■ hot S0110 < in sun any im 'e th.Mi the native whites, and will find some way to avoid it. We ate op posed to pauper emigrants, but will welcome any for eigner who voluntarily comes among us. When we import into Geor gia the serfs of Europe, we bring among us communism, nihilism, and every other infamous doctrine to distract our country. Put so long as there are such broad do mains of fresh and fertile lands in the West, that can be had on such easy terms, there is no danger that the old fields of Georgia will be overrun by a white “peasantry.” Now, we will admit that if the ne gro was out ol the way, there would be some reason in Prof. White’s pro position. But the Atiican is firmly fastened on the South, and like the Old-Man-of-the-Sea, he cannot be shaken ofT. Ite is a fixture on us arid will inhabit this country just as long as the white man. His very presence will keep away other la bor, and hence our farmers had just as well make up their minds to grin and bear with the darkey. If these people were kept out of politics, and from the control and bad coun sel of unscrupulous white men, they will make a very good class of la bor—at least the best that the South can get. We know of a number of men who have made money farm ing with “free niggers,” and what one man has accomplished another can also, if he uses the proper exer tions. We won’t take any of Prof. White’s peasantry in otirn’n. THE BASTARD SILVER DOLLARS. Since it is a settled ‘matter that congress will insist on the continued coinage of the bastared silver dol lar, that now fills every government vault to overflowing, and which no body wants, it behooves Secretary Manning to make some disposition of this idle money, and not let it re main an expense on the govern ment. If Mr. Manning will only do his duty, it will be a very easy matter to dispose ot this surplus s iver, and at the same time put up wards of two hundred millions more in circulation. Let him take those idle millions, now locked up in the vaults ,in Washington and New York, and call in enough of the three and four per cent, government bonds to use up the last dollar. Uncle Sam has reserved the privi lege of paying these bonds at any time, and as these silver dollars have oten made a legal tender by con gress, the bondholders cannot re fuse to receive them. Besides put ting such a vast amount ot money in circulation, with its attendant good results, we get rid of an ele phant on the hands of the govern ment, and save to the people vast sums in interest. But will Secreta ry Manning do this? We are afraid not. He is in full sympathy with the New York gold bugs, and such a step on the part of Mr. Manning would be a severe blow to the bloat ed coupon-clippers of the North, who prefer their government bonds to the cash. If they were forced to accept this silver they could not use it abroad, so would be obliged to in vest it in developing the country. It would give a tremendous boom to new enterprises, and infuse fresh life into every branch of business. Then, in order to keep this contin ued coinage of silver in circulation, and to prevent such blockades of dollars as are now in our vaults, when the silver miners bring their bullion to the mints, instead of giv ing them silver certificates, let them pay the government a toll tor coin- ing, just*as they would at a corn mill, and then give them their part in silver dollars. This will always keep the money in circulation, and enliven things up. Fill a man’s pocket with silver dollars, and he is not apt to hoard them up, but will keep the money circulating. We -ec no sense in or necessity for this continued coinage by the govern- men of a bastard coin that no one ants, but lies idle in the vaults; but since congress has declared that the mints must continue to grind them out, we want to see this idle money put to the best use possible. The only question is, will Secretary- Manning carry out this plan? We are afraid that he is too nearly allied with the Wall street gold bugs to make so patriotic a move. It is his duty to do so, and is fully empower ed by congress to call in those three and four per cent, bonds and re deem them with silver. NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. Those neighborhood correspon dents in the weekly papers are get ting to be a nuisance, unless they ate boiled down and the trash skimmed off. Sometimes a half dozen different writers will give the same news items, and each one is published. One will fill half his space with something that no one but himself and a Iriend under stands. Cut out this ttash, and give only tht news items. It is as-cited that if Geo gia’ 1 FRANKLIN COl'NTY. IKlbertou Leader.) Mr. L. J. McConnell and Miss Cora A. Nelms, both of Carnesville, are married. Two more militia districts of the county have filed their petitions asking for an election on the “Stock Law.” McFntire & Nelms have sold their mill property on North Broad river to the land owners on the stream above, and the dam will be removed at once and the land drain ed. The turn the Tabor & Bro. failure has taken was the best thing that could have been done for all parties at interest,as the chances ate good now for the creditors getting very nearly or quite all their claims, and Messrs. Tabor will be out of debt, or abouCso, when the matter is fully settled up—when, had it gone into the hands of a receiver who was not posted as to the business, and the goods sold at auction, there would have been a shortage ot sev eral thousand dollars. ns a positive fact negro population was transierred to either Pennsyl vania or Rhode Island, they would nil be disfranchised by the property qualification required in these two states.

A very progressive farmer of this county, getting out of sugar recently, and being out of monev at the same time, and doubting his ability to get it on a credit, con cluded he would make some at home. He therefore took his brace and bit and started for the creek bottoms, where he bored into some maple trees, introduced forcets and tapped them until he had procured as much of the juice as he wanted. He then carried it home and boiled it down until he had reduced it to sugar, and says that he made a con siderable quantity of it in a short time. He believes that large quan tities of sugar could be made in this section if the people would only take the trouble to do so. GREENE COUNTY. Home J '»rn»! tnd Herald. Benjamin E. Spencer is dead.

How a Plena in Human Form Taka* an In nocent Life--George D»vl* Brutally Har der* Arch Beams'. . Columbus En«utrer-Sun. News of one of the most horrible murders that it has ever been ot»r duty to chronicle reached the city yesterday. The murdered man was William McClellan, commonly known as Archie Reams,. and the murderer is George Davis. Both have lived on the plantation of Mr. J. E. Fitzgerald, in Russell county, Aia. Davis waa soverseer of the place and Reams worked under him. The story of the brutal mur- dsr as told by Davis, is as follows: Wednesday about noon Davis sent Reams down to the river to look up some cows. Immediately ajter givings the order Davis pick ed up his shot gun and started for the river by different routes. In a few minutes Davis overtook Reams near the bank of the river and shot him in the back of the neck. Da vis says that after shooting Reams the first time hs fell upon his knees and begged him not to kill him, and they talked for several minutes, when he told Reams that one of them must die and shot him again. Seeing that Reams was still alive, Davis drew his knife and stabbed him in the throat twice. He then knocked him in the head wi*h the butt of his gun breaking his skull. After committing this most hor rible of murders, Davis returned to where the negroes were at work and told them he had a secret to tell them which they must not re veal to anybody. He then related the story of the horrible crime as given above. When asked by the negroes why he killed Reams, he replied, “That is my and Reams business?” Davis then went to the house of tne mother of his victim, where he boarded, and ate dinner. He told her that Arch was sick and would not come to the house, and it she would fix his din ner, he would carry it to him. Mrs. McClellan prepared the dinner in a bucket and Davis carried it dowrr to tloe field where the negroes were at work. About 1 o’clock Mr. Fitzgerald walked down from his residence to the field, and as soon as the negroes had an opportunity they told him what Davis had said. He approached Davis and asked him where was Reams. Davis re plied that he had gone off. Mr. Fitzgerald told Davis it was no use to deny what had occurred, as he knew all about it. Davis then con fessed that he had killed Reams, and took Mr. Fitzgerald ta where the body laid. The sight was ghast ly and sickening. The body lay there stiffening in a pool of blood, with two loads of shot in the back of the head and neck and shoulders, two knite wounds in the throat and the skull broken in by blows from the butt of a gun. The heavy blue shirt which Reams wore had been taken off and his coat put on again, and it looked as though Davis had used the shirt in trying to drag the body to the river. After showing Mr. Fitzgerald the evidence of his awful crime, Davis had the supreme gall to ask him to help him put the body in the river and conceal the murder. Of course Mr. Fitzgerald indignantly refused. He asked Davis why he killed Reams, and the brute made the same reply that he had given the negroes. Davis then went to the house of Mrs. McClellan, who was still in ignorance ot the awful fate of her son, and told her that he had killed one of the negroes and would have to leave. He asked her to loan him Arch’s valise. She not only con sented, but helped him to pack hit clothes, and he left. Where he went no one knows, but it is said that he was seen in this city Wed nesday evening. Columbus. Ga., Feb. 19,—Geo. Davis, who murdered Arch Reams, in Russell county, Ala., Wednes day, was arrested near the scene of the crime last night. He had a preliminary trial to-day, and was committed to jail without bail. He confessed the killing but said he did it because Reams had threaten ed. Davis was too intimate with Reams sister. BEQABSIHO THE FUNCTION OF AN IHFOB- TANT ORGAN.

W. Asthur Warnot, a Frenchman, who came to this city two vears ago from San Antonia, Texas, committed suicide at his boarding house by forcing the blade ot a huge clasp knife through his heart. He had carefully prepared for the act. The 5 inch blade had been ground to a sharp point, and the suicide had caretully spread a rug across the bed to catch the flow of blood. Upon this he lay, back down, after giving^ himself the fatal thrust. He withdrew the knife from the wound. Death did not result at once,{and Warnot’s groans attracted the attention of the people in the house. He only lived a few moments after he was found. WALTON COUNTY.

That we may emphasize and clearly explain the relation the kidneys sustain to the general health, and how much is dependent upon them, we prepose, umtaphorically speaking, to take from the heman body, place in the wash-bowl before us. and examine it for the public benefit You will imagine that we have before us a body shaped like a bean, smooth and glistening, about fourinches in thickness It ordinorily weighs in the adult male, about five ounces, but is somewhat ligh ter in the female. A small organ? you say But understand, the body of the average size man contains about ten quarts of blood of which every drop passes through these filters or sewers, as they may be called, many times a day, as often as through the heart, making a complete revolution in three minutes. From the blood they separate the wast material, working away steadily, night and day’ sleeping or waking, tireless as the heart itself, and fully of as much vital impor tance; removing impurities from (!5 gallons of blood each hour, or about 49 barrels each day, or 9,125 hogs-hoads a year! What a wonder that the kidueys can last any length of time under this prodigious strain, treated and neglected as t.iey are! We slice this delicate organ open length wise with our knife, and will roughly de scribe its interior. We find it to be of a reddish-brown color soft and easily torn; filled with hundreds of little tubes, short and thread-like, start ing from the arteries, ending in a little tube about midway from the outside open ing into a cavity of considerable size which is called the pelvis or, roughly speaking, a sac, which is for the purpose of holding the water to further undergo purification before it passes down from here into the ureters, and so on to the outside of the body. These littte tubes are the filters which do their work automatcaily, and right here is where the disease of the kidney first begins. Doing the vast amout of work which they are obliged to, from the slightest irregularity in our habits, from cold, from high living, from stimulants or a thousand and one other causes which occur every day, they become somewhat weakened in their nerve force. What is the result? Congestion or stoppage of the current of blood in the small blood vessels surroundiug them which become blocked; these delicate membranes are irritated; inflammation is set up, then pus is formed, which collects in the pelvis or sac; the tubes are at first partially, and soon ara totally, unable to do their work. The pelvis sac goes on distending with this corruption, pressing upen the blood vessels. All this time, remember, the blood, which is entering the kidneys to be filtered, is passing through this terrible, disgusting pass, for it cannot take any other route! Stop and think of it for a moment. Do you realize the importance, nay the vital necessity, of having the kidneys in order? Can you expect when they are diseased or obstructed, no matter how little that you can have pure blood and escape disease? It would be just as reasonable to expect, if a pest-house were set across Broadway and countless thousand were compelled to go through its pestilential doors, an escape from contagion and dis ease, as for one to expect the blood to escape pollution when constantly run nine through a diseased kidney. Now, what is the result? Why, that the blood takes up and depositt this poison as it sweeps along into every organ, into every, inch of muscle, tissue, flesh and bone, from your head to your feet. And whenever, from hereditary influence or otherwise, some part of the body is weaker than another, a countless train ef diseases is established, such as consumption, in weak lungs, dyspepsia, where there is a delicate stomach; nervousness, insanity, laralysis or heart disease in those who lave weak nerves. The heart must soon feel the effects of the poison, as it requires pure blood to keep it in right action. It increases its stroke in number and force to compen sate for the natural stimulus wanting, in its endeavor to crowd the impure blood through this obstruction, causing pain palpitation, or an out-of-brcath feeling Jnnatural as this forced labor is, the heart must soon falter, becoming weaker until one day it suddenly stops, and death from apparent “heart disease” is the verdict! But the medical profession, learned and dignified, call these diseases by high- sounding names, treat them alone, and patients die, for the arteries are carrying slow death to the affected part, constannly adding fuel brought from these suppura ting, pus-laden kidneys which here in our wash-bowl very putrefaction itself, and which shoud hare been cured first But this is not all the kidneys have to do for you must remember that each adult takes about seven pounds of nourishment every twenty-four hours to supply the waste of the body which is constantly going on, a waste equal to the quantity taken. This, too, the kidneys have to separate from the blood with all other decomposing matter. But you say, “my kidneys are all right I have no pain in the back.” Mistaken man! People die of kidney disease of so bad a character that the organs are rotten and yet they have never there had a pain nor an ache! Why? Because the disease begins, as we have shown, in the interior of the kid ney, where there are few nerves of feel ing to convey the sensatiou of pain. Why this is so we may never know. When you consider their great work, the delicacy of their structure, the ease with which they are deranged, can you wonder at the ill-health of our men and women? Health and long life cannot be expected when so vital an organ is im paired. No wonder some writers say we are degenerating. Don’t you see the great the extreme importance of keeping this machinery in working order? Could the finest eagine do even a fractional part of this work, without attention from the engineer? Don’t you see how dangerous this hidden disease is It is lurking about us constanly, without giving any indic ation of its presence.
