THE WEEKLY BANNER-WATCHMAN, TUESDAY DECEMBER 13 *887
P,AN n ER - WATCHMAN.
THK BLACK BALLOT.
Tho problem of the colored rote is the
most serious one before the people of the
country How to manage it or what do
with it has been troubling statesmer,
Kuril) and South. In National elec*
ti.ms where the whites of the South ate
].iactually united there is no problem.
The colored man has been outvoted, and
in most Statos is content to stay *t borne
ami let tho electoral college build with
out him. But in local or liquor elec
tions the colored vote is a perplexity and
the colored voter a nuisance. The
white element divides and the black
ballot comes in for recognition.
u has been suggested that the color
ed voter be left severely alone; but
tins is well-nigh impossible. Party nom
inations do good, but where an independ
cut element is asserted, nominations do
not keep down division and such adivis-
j„n is a carnival for the black ballot.
Citizens' tickets without distinction to
j.artv or color have been tried with good
effect in municipal elections, but io poli
ties there is no such thing as unanimity,
a .t .ere is generally an opposing party,
m issing enough white votes to lead the
c -h>rcd faction. We repeat that educa-
t. has not helped the matter, for some
oi tin* best educatod negroes are the
venal and unscrupulous. They
1 lo t themselves into leaders and flock
wherever an election is held—]
ing "ajjackal’s screech and a vulture’s
smell.'

their pride aroused and their blood up,

The question was where to get it? Bull

drew his knife and thrust it ill his arm,
Iroin which flowed a crimson tide. Ob
taining a sufficiency lie staunch, d the
flow. At 9 o’clock everything was in
readiness and the trial proceeded. Pris

A SF.roNI
J LET.
It is a bit singular that two pistols
should .at different times fall at the feet
of Woolfolk at the court house during
the progress of the trial, line fell from
the shirt bosom or breast pocket cf the
janitor just after the prisoner had eaten
his dinner, and oft yesterday another
was dropped.
While conveying Woolfolk from the
ante-rooiu to the court room, after this
conference with his attorney, it was nec
essary to pass along the gallery in front
of the main stairway. Hail ill’ dunes was
in front and there was a pistol in his
pocket. Woolfolk came next,
and just behind at the left, was .lailor
Birdsong, llow it happened it is not
known; hut the pistol tell out of the l>ai-
iiTs pocket and the jailor, seeing the
weapon falling caught it just as it reach
ed the floor. Woolfolk turned and said
to the jailor, ”1 didn’t grab it that
time.”
Bailiff.I ones says he does not know
how the pislol could have fallen out of
his pocket.
After a recess the jury were request 'd
to pass into the ante room during the
discussion of a point of law
raised by Mr. Cluerry relative to
the admissibility of 1'ennington’s testi
mony, which had been called for by Col.
Rutherford,, who said: “We propose to
show by Mr. l'ennington that only a few
days before the killing of the Woolfolk
family, he heard a certain negro
say that he intended to kill Woolfolk and
every one hearing that name, because he
owed him money and refused to pay it.”
This is a cse of life anil ceath. '1 he evi
dence of the state is entirely circum
stantial. Therefore, why admit threats
that tend to fasten guilt upon the de
fendant and exclude threats that tend to
show his innoc?nce?”
His honor acceded to the proposition
and Mr. Bennington was put upon the
stand to testify before the bench.
Mr. Bennington testified that a negro
he had hired, on failing to receive as
much pay as he wished, remarked; ‘you
havo acted like them damned Wool folks;
1 have been chopping cotton for them
and they wouldn’t pay me, and I intend
to kill every damned one of’em.”
Col. Rutherford called for Silas Wool-
folk, Green I.ockctt, Tom Banks, John
Owe is, Anderson Janies, and the five
negroes filed in court and were ranged
in front of witness, lie fixed his eyes on
Green I.ockett, who he said resembled
the negro he hired more closely than any
of the live but yet Green I.ockett was
not the negro that he hired on the ”nth
day of July who made the remarks he
had repealed at the Macon depot.
The five negroes were then allowed to
go out and Col. Rutherford called for the
negro Joe Jeff.
Not being in court, he was ordered
sent for, the defense proceeding till he
could be brought. Alter a few moments
a recess was taken till 2:30 p. in.
Cheney secretary. After organization
the charter was read and accepted.
Books of subscription were then opened
and fifty thousau<l dollars were subscrib
ed. Suitable by-laws were enacted and
Mr. U. L. Bloomfield was elected Presi
dent, and F. W. Cheney, Agent. A call
of fifty per cent, of the subscription was
made on the start and work was ordered
begun on preparations fur a five thousand
spindle null.
We are delighted at this increase in
our manufacturing interests* It points
to the fact that Athens is destined to
he a great manufacturin' centre. Espe
cially gratifying is it, in the light of the
lact that it is home money that is doing
the work. It indicates that our business
men have been succesjaful in their vari
ous lines and have money enough to in
vest in other enterprises. It means that
Athens capital, made by the hard and
iiianlv toil gf ner citizens, is confident in
her future and testifies thereto by seek
ing investment right here. \N e congrat
ulate our business men on their success,
and wish the new enterprise its full
share of prosperity. There is ample
room for more which we trust time wil
bring.
To Whom It May Coucern
We are reliably informed that there
ire parties in Athens, Ga., who are offer
ing the New Home Sewing Machine for
sale, and who are not our authorized
dealers, and who cannot warrant the
New* Home. Mr. J. B. Toomer is our
only authorized dealer for Athens and
the surrounding territory, and we will
not he responsible for the New Home
bought froai any one else in Athens. It
is a well known fact that we warrant
every New Home, when it is purchased
from our regular authorized dealers, for
a period of five years, from the date of
purchase. We supply our dealers with
neif * machines direct from the factory.
You, therefore, get the benefit of all late
improvements. On the other hand, if
you buy from parties who ire notauthor-
ized by <is to oiler for sale our machine,
you will get a second-hand machine, as
they cannot buy from us, and you get a
machine that ’is not warranted by the
Company. We, therefore, caution the
public against buying such machines.—
Buy your New* Home machines from Mr.
J. B. Toomer, and get our warranty for
Five years.

EVENING SESSION.
Mrs. Edwards, Capt. Woolfolk** eldest
child, next took the stand and testified
that Tom Woolfolk was always a loyal,
dutiful son. That Mrs. Woolfolk said,
in speaking of Tom’s unfortunate mar
riage, that it would he all right, as Tom
was always good at heart. '1 hat Tom
said last January that “no one ever had
a kinder father than he.”
MIC. FOSTER’S TESTIMONY.
Lawyer Foster, who lives in Madison,
sold Tom Woolfolk a place, and at the
time of the transaction he gained tho iin
iression that Tom had consideration for
lis father. Witness was trying to col
lect a debt on the place which Tom
couldn't pay, and witness offered to go
to Tom’s father ami get the money. Tom
objected and said Ins father was embar
rassed enough already, and he had a
large family, and he did not want to
cause him any more expense.
THE LAMES TESTIFY.
Mrs. Fannie Crane was first upon
the stand. She was sistor of Thomas
Woolfolk’s own mother, who died June
2o, 1875. Tom at that time was five
ears old. Had known Tom since his
•irtb, and until nine years of age, after
his mother's death, he lived with her at
her home. During that time he was a
very affectionate little boy. He always
confided in her. Had seen Tom once a
year for the past ter. years. Torn visit
ed her home July 7th last, and he talked
about his father frequently, and loved
him very dearly, and she never heard
him say anything disrespectfully of his
father.
On one occasion at the breakfast table,
hen some of them »aid that Captain
Woolfolk had not done his duty toward
Mrs. Edwards, Tom was indignant, and
defended his father's conduct tow ard his
sister.
Witness never heard him say anj-thinjj
against his step-mother, w’hom he called
mother.” lie was also fond of his
brother Richard, and proud of his lovely
sister. Miss Bearl.
Mrs. Cowan was sworn, Capt. Harde
man modulating his voice in deference
to the lady as he repeated the form of
0»*V
Witness was Tom Woolfolk’s own sis
ter. Tom was very fond of his father.
Mrs. Cowan’s eyes filled with tears as
she gave in her testimony which was for
the most part like that of Mrs. Crane.
Two years ago Mrs. Cowan went into
her father's room and made a slight
noise in tho room. Capt. Woolfolk jump
ed up and was badly scared. He said he
feared some trouble from a negro, George
Caldwell, who he had put in the chain-
gang. Her father could not sleep in a
closed room, but said, 44 I trust myself in
the hands of my maker.”

"We must eat or we cannot live.
This we all know. But <lo w.o al
kuow that wo die by eating t It it
said we dig our graves with out
teeth. How ‘foolish this sounds.
Yet it is fearfully true. We are ter
rified at tho approach of the choletr
and yellow fever, yet there is a dis
ease constantly at oar doors and in
our houses far more dangerous and
destructive. Most people have in
their own stomachs a poison, mole
slow, but quite as fatal as the germs
of those maladies which sweep men
into eternity by thousands without
warning in the times of great epi
demics. But it is a mercy that, if
we are watchful, we can tell whet:
we nre threatened. The following
are among the symptoms, yet they
do not always necessarily appear in
the same order, nor are they always
tho same in different cases. There
is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bau
taste in the mouth, especially in the
morning; the appetite is change
able, sometimes poor and again it
seems as though the patient could
not eat enough, and occasionally no
appetite at all; dullness and slug
gishness of tho mind; no ambition
to study or work; more or less head
ache and heaviness in tho head;
dizziness on rising to the feet or
moving suddenly; furred and coat
ed tongue; a sense of a load on the
stomach that nothing removes; hot
and dry skin at times; yellow tinge
in the eyes; scanty and higli-colored
urine; sour taste in the mouth, fre
quently attended by palpitation of
the heart; impaired vision, with
spots that seem to be swimming in
the air before the eyes; a cough,
with a greenish-colored expecto
ration; poor nights’rest; a sticky
slime about the teeth and gums;
hands and feet cold and clammy;
irritable temper and bowels bound
up and costive. This disease has
puzzled tho physicians and still puz
zles thqpo. It is the commonest of
ailments and yet tho most compli
cated and mysterious. Sometimes
it is treated as consumption, some
times ns liver complaint, and then
again ns malaria and even heart dis
ease. But its real nnture is that of
constipation and dyspepsia. It arises
in tho digestive organs and soon
affects all the others through the
corrupted and poisoned blood.
Often the whole body—including
the nervous system—is literally
starved, even when there is no
emaciation to tell tlio sad story.
Experiencehns shown that therein
put one remedy that can certainly
cure this disease in all its stages,
namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or
Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. It
never fails but, nevertheless, no time
should bo lost in trying other so-
called remedies, for they will do no
good. Get this great vegetable
preparation, (discovered by a vener
able nurse whose name is a house
hold word in Germany) and bo sure
to get the genuine urticle.

Nearly two years ago ] contracted
malaria Into my system, ana suffered
greatly from time' to tiuie Iron, it in
various ft mis in which it developed.
Sometimes had severe chills and levers
—indigestion followed it. aud I was gen
erally out o' health. Last spring for
■mire than two months 1 was greatly
troubled with a disordered condition of
the bowels, which I believe was the re
aultot the malaria still existing in my
system. I visited two or three iniucral
sprirgs celebrated for the cure of mala
rial disesses, without the slightest
benefit. 1 was slso t rested as the differ
ent symptoms developed by tlie most
skillful physicians, but was not relieved.
About Iwo momhs ago, I concluded to
try Calisaya Tonic, prepared by West
moreland M*»*t, bat 1. must confess 1
bad little confidence of being materially
benefited by it- 1 have, taken five or nix
hollies of the Tonic—from the beginning
I felt relief and continued to improve,
until now I feel quite as well and in as
perfect health as I eteroid in my life,
aud 1 believe I am perfectly well.
H. P. HAMMETT, President.
The effects of malaria in the system is

W—Titasgton’s Bedchamber.
Tho interest of the whole house
centers In the room where Wash
ington died—“The gen’al's room, the
room I likes de bee' in de house,"
as the servitor called it, in a tone
of genuine and reverent affection. Just
where the great man lay a-dying eighty-
eight years ago, the bed now stands, and
beside it the light stand on wldch are the
Tings left by his medicine glasses, un
changed since that day. The secretary a
which be wrote, the hair covered trank in
which he carried his possessions, the sur
veyor’s tripod he had used, the cloak ha
thifcw about his shoulders when he went
over the farm, the leathern chair in which
he sat, the covering cut away by vandal
hands, are all there. There was some
thing, in spite ot these few discordant
notes, that seemed peculiar to that room.
I could not feel that thousands of eyes
had looked upon it with idle curiosity, but
.as though it had been kept sacred all these
years and was yet redolent of tho mem
ories which have set It apart forever.
“Many wonders,” said our guide, “why
Mrs. Wash’n’ton died up In de attic, and
not in de gen’al’s room. It was de cus
tom in de family to shut np a room for
two years after a death had happened in
it, an’ dis room was shat np. Mrs.
Wash’n’ton went np in de attic an’ dere
she staid for eighteen mn'n's till she died
dere. She never had no fire in de winter,
an’ in de summer it was very hot—but
dere she staid wlf only her cat fur com-
p’ny."
The comer cut off from the lower part
ot the door he showed ns was for the easy
egress and ingress of this familiar friend.
The attic room is pretty and attractive
looking, bat has in it now only one piece
of furniture used by Mrs. Washington—
a little three cornered washstand.—The
Century.
The Climate of California.
However great the advantages of Cali
fornia may be for thoso residing on the
Pacific slope. Invalids whose homes aro
east of the Missouri river should seriously
consider whether the inducements nre
great enough to compensate for the disad
vantages- To one in health the ride to
San Francisco is less fatiguing thnn one
might projierly expect, but for Invalids it
is a serious matter to lie confined to a car
for five or six consecutive days, subject all
the time to the unavoidable inhalation ot
the various particles of matter inseparable
from railroad riding; added to this is the
impossibility of securing reliably good
ventilation, uniform temperature, or free
dom from draughts, closeness and fre
quent changes. When you add the return
journey, the advantages ought to be very
great to induce the experiment.. Are they
sufficiently so?
In summer the climate of California Is
hot and dry away from San Francisco or
other very windy and variable locations.
In winter It is very rainy and damp, as the
rains all fall between October and May,
which Is there the season of verdure, tho
period when their grass grows. For those
who are simply delicate, or Inherit a ten
dency to consumption, I know of no
country where I should regard the chances
better for fair health and a prolongation
of life than a residence In southern Cali
fornia, but for such as have a developed
pulmonary trouble I would advise careful
consideration, unless they decide to go
there to make it a home, to stay while
they live.—William Smith Brown in
Harper's Magazine.

Literary Use of Welsh*
The extent to which the Welsh language
Is employed for literary purposes among
the Welsh is but little understood in Eng
land, where it is very generally supposed
that it prevails more or less as a spoken
language among illiterate Cambrians but
plays little part in the world of letters. It
appears, however, that its periodical lit
erature is very extensive, considering
population. There are seventeen weekly
newspapers published in the vemocularin
Wales, with a circulation altogether of
over 120,000. There is a monthly Welsh
magazine that can boast of a circulation
of 87,700, and altogether the magaziues
published in the vernacular in Wales
scores a total of 150,000 copies. A lead
ing firm of publishers in the princiiiality
ore said to have laid out a sum of £18,000
in the production of a single Welsh work,
with fair pecuniary results, and a Welsh-
English dictionary now iu course of pro
duction has taken a one-half guinea
quarto volume of 400 pages to reach the
end of the first letter of the alphabet.
That says even a larger volumo for the
copiousness of the Welsh language, but it
is not exactly encouraging for any enter
prising Englishman who may find his own
literature insufficient, and may, there
fore, contemplate an incursion into that
of Wales.—London Daily News.
“I did everything I could to cure my

Mr. Albert Howell says: “A short
time ago 1 suffered terribly with rheu
matisin. It was impossible to walk even
with crutches. I could not put my foot
on the floor. I found no relief from
treatment or remedy until I tried Hunni-
cutt’s Rheumatic Cure. Before 1 had
finished the second bottle my rheuma
tism was entirely gone. I put my
crutches aside and have never felt a

Testing the Oreoa*. Depth.
On some parts of the coast of Sumatra
and the neighboring islands the fishermen
test the depth ot the sep and also the na
ture of the sea bottom by the noLses they
hear on applying the ear to one end of an
oar of which the other end Is plunged in
tho water. At a depth ot twenty feet and
less the sound Is a crepitation, similar to
that produced when salt is thrown on
burning charcoal; at fifty feet it is like
the ticking of a watch, the tictac being
more or less rapid, according to whether
the bottom is entirely of coral or alter
nately of coral aud mud, or of sand. If
the bottom is entirely of sand the sound
is clear; it of mud it resembles the hum
ming of a swarm of bees. On dark nights
the fishermen select their fishery grounds
according to theso indications.—Hard-

Adieu to lightning Rods.
The snddonness with which lightning
rods have fallen Into disuse is rather a
curious fact. A few years since every
business house and private residence was
bristling with rods aud points, while the
lightning rod agent was the most intoler
able nuisance that ever imposed upon the
public. It was formerly thought that the
rod was a genuine protection to houses,
and for years people labored under this de
lusion. Bat the fact is that the rod Is not
a necessity, and is often a source of posi
tive danger. A residence or business
house is jnst about as safe in a storm
without a rod as with one, and the people
of this generation have learned this fact.

Cowles claims that guns made of this
