Quite a number bad not m de up

plenty of time to study the matter.
When told, however, that the people in
ail the i;eighboring cities were talking
on ihe subject, a gcol many decided
that they would not be behind.
Otheis had given the subject consid-
crible attention, ai d werft ready to name
the man they wanted to govern the
State of Georgia next term. The fol
lowing are some of the opinions:
Air. E. E. Jones, says:
“I am in favor cl Hon. J. C. C. Black,
of Augusta, I de-m him one of the
purest and ablest men in the State, and
one who would manage the executive
affairs with credit to himself and the
State of Georgia.”
Air. D. P. Haselton:
“II n. J. C. C. Black is undoubtedly
the man who should be the next Gover
nor of Ge- rg>a ”
Mr. A. Culeman:
“I favor the lion. Henry AY. Grady
for Governor, and truly hope he will be
elected.”
Mr. A. H. Hodgson :
“I think Hon'. II. D. McDaniel has
made one of the best Governars we have-
had since the W3r, and I would like to
ste him put in office again.”
Air. C. VV. Baldwin:
“I have not given the matter a great
deal of study, but as I see it at present, I
favor the election ol Hon. Jas. M. Smith.
He is a man of great executive ability,
and I think would make a mighty good
Governor.”
Mr. Y. AY. Skiff:
“I thought I had time to make up my
mind, consequently I cannot SiV that I
have decided upon any man. With the
present light before me, I would be
tempted to s*y Grady.”
Air. Will Dorsey:
“Mr. Grady is an old Athens bov, and
a deserving man. lie is aUo one of the'
most popular y r oung 1«en in the South,
and would make a fine Governor.”
Messrs. Grant & Willcox also favor
Air. Grady.
Mr. James O Farrell:
“1 favor either Henry Grady, or Pat.
Walsh, I don’t care which. Either of
them would m?.ke a fine Governor.”
Mr. A. A. McDuffie :
“Henry Carlton is »lie man for the
place, and I favor him.”
Mr. Jankower thinks Air. Grady
should be the next Governor, and Mr.
J. A. Mullane, is in faver of Hon Patrick
Walsh, of Augusta.
Opt. Dozier:
“Hon. Pope Barrow is my choice for
Governor.”
Judge A. L. Mitchell:
“I think either Black, Cutnming or
Blount, of Macon, would make a good
Governor, and as for Black, he will make
a fine Senator or Governor either.
Col. Ike Lowe:
“I am in favor of Air. Black, of Au
gusta, or Blount, of Macon. Either gen
tleman would give great sastisfaction as
Governor.”
Mr. Geo. Middlebrooks:
“Hon Patrick Walsh, ol Augusta, is
my favorite for Governor.”
Mr. George Hodgson:
“I am for Henry Grady, or J.
Black, of Augusta.”
Michael Bros., favor the ' election
Mr. Grady.
Mr. John Mell:
i‘I would like to see Mr. Black,
next Governor.”
Chief Oliver:
“My preference is Black first, and
Blonnt next.
CoL A. P. Henley:
“Put me down in favor of Gov.

Mr. John. Lucas: ..

IS IT WRONG TO KISS.
The fv-Ji somo waves love to kiss the
white s»nd.
The zephyr salute the green tree*:
The golden sunbeams kiss the beauti
ful rose
As it blusbingly nods to the breeze.
The daisy, most lowly and molest of
flowers,
R- ciives a night kiss from the dew—
And ihe winds touch the lips of the
“emblem of love’’—
The violet of purple and blue.
The silvery moonbeams salute the lvll
tops,
The shadows kiss the blue sea;
And the bright little waves danco, ca
per and sing
For a star kiss.from over th^ lev.
The tea; drops cf heaven fall gendy on
earth
To kis£ the given grass; and in May
The buds burst their tendrils in joy to
receive ■ ^
A kiss from the R™r of Day.
The birds kiss each other and twittrr
good night,
The clouds kiss the mist oil the hill;
The grape vine embraces the old cherry-
tree;
And the p-.bbles are kissed by the rill.
The ivy vine clambers the moss bor
dered wall
To get the first sip of the dew.
If nature, then, seems only born to be
kissed,
I don’t think it wrong, love, do you?

The fact that good health, strong
muscles and sound nerves are attainable
should encourage every invalid to an
earnest endeavor in the right direction.
Remember all disease owes its origin,
more or less, to a lack of iron ill the
blood. Iron in the blood
meins health strength and vigor.
Analyze the blood of an invalid and lit
tie or no iron will be found. Healthy
men's blood is full of iron. The best
method of supplying this lack of iron is
by using Brown’s Iron Bitters, a sure
cure tor dyspepsia, general debility,
weakness and all wasting diseases.

much the worse for the recipient.
Fortunately, good taste cannot err.

“Early Monday morning the startling
news had spread over the surrounding
country. When it became known at
Anderson Court House, which was
garrisoned by the Federal*, a posse was
immediately sent to the river to inves
tigate the particulras, but nobody
seemed able to give any information, as
the murder had been committed by un
known parties at a dead hour of the
night.
Fishing for the body of the young
guard was begun on the arrival of the
coroner, and in a short time they were
all found in water near the ferry. Be
sides the fatal bullet holes through
their heads, the bodies showed signs of
violence,supposed to have been inflicted
by the murderers with the poles of the
ferry boat.
The horrible spectacle presented by
the exposition of the mangled bodies
elicted the sympathy of all good people
regardless of party- affiliation, and the
mu dsrers if they had ever been found
out would have been objects of the
sternest condemnation of all respecta
ble, law-abiding people.
The oldest one ol these ill-fated sol
diers was only 24 years of age. Their
remains were interred in the Presbyte
rian cemetery at Anderson, where they
still rest.

the bailiff acted under advice of Col. B

the affair. He ought to know, and we

Atlanta, Ga. # March 19.—Did the
southern confedercy evercontemplete,or
was there any danger of. a church estab
lishment if . the confederacy had suc
ceeded?
The Philadelphia Presbyterian a few
weeks ago published the following :
A»It is a late but somewhat singular
revelation that the leaders of the late
confederacy in the south, now happily
burled, and not muchQpriourned, pro
posed among other novelties to establish
a church m connection with the state.
The8tory rests upon the authority of
Rev. Dr. llcFerrin, a leading Methodist
divine, who died lately in Nashville,
Tenn. It was his inference, he said,
from all that he gathered while serving
as a chaplain in the southern army, aim
so persuaded w;is lie of tiie correctne s
of nis inference, that he was enabled
thereby to bear the results of the contest
wi.h great equanimity.”
Dr. J. Win. Jones, of Atlanta, former
ly secretary of the Southern Historical
society, and a personal friend of Mr. Da
vis. as well as a defender of the name
and fame of the confederacy, sent this
item to President Davis, and received in
reply the following letter:
Beacvoir, Miss., March 10, 1889.
Rev. Dr. J. \Vm. Jones:
Dear Sir—1 have received yours of the
15th inst., with the enclosed slip The
story referred to is not only untrue but
absurd.
The constitution of the Confederate
States differed from that of the United
States by having in its preamble a recog
nition of the Supreme Being, and “in
voking the favor and guidance of Al
mighty Co i.” and in section 9 of the 1st
article it nuid: “Congress shall make no
law re peering an es>.a lisliment of reli
gion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof.”
No such-prohibition was contained in
the constitution of the Uniied states, as
originally adopted, but the same prohi
bition was made i-y an amendment.
The o iginal observance of the spirit
and letter of the constitution by the con
federate States government was
60 marked a feature as never to
have been denied by' its worst
enemies. But if these silly slan
ders be worthy of any investigation it
may be asked what church, or sect, was
to constitute the establishment ? Was it
to be the largest church in the Confed-
era y? Then .that, I suppose, was the
Methodist Church, South, and would
this have been such a grievance to the
author of the story as to reconcile him
to the downfall of ihe Confederacy ?
Was the church to he select* d indi
cated by the composition of the chosen
officers of the C* nfederate government,
and the cabinet counselors directing its
pol'cv? If se, how does the matter
stand?
The president was an Episcopalian, the
vice-president a Presbyterian, the secre
tary of state a Hebrew, ihe secretary of
the*treasury an Episcopalian, the secreta
ry of war a Presbyte iun. the secretary
of the navy a Catholic, the postmasfe
general a Method st, and the atto ney
general a Baptist, or, at different times,
a member ot all these denominations ex
cept the Cathol'c.
Henco appears the absurdity of the
suppos tic-n that a church esiabli-hmen
was eontemp.a ed, or if so was a possible
achievement.
Respectfully and truly your friend,
Jefferson Davis.

and Mr. Gaines Stowers,one of the best
men Hart county ever knew, was also
arrested. Mr. Stowers was a prominent
man in his county, and to be taken away
from his family for such a foul deed
was awful, both to himself and famil y,
The prisoners were removed to Charles

Een-
court martial, convicted, and
tenced to hang in April, 1865,
Mr. Stowers had one friend in Ath
ens, who as soon as he heard of the
death sentence, went to work to get
liis sentence commuted, and the writer
of this knows that Mr. Stower’s friend
spent fifey dollars in one day telegraph
ing to influential friends in Washington
City to have the sentence stayed, and
late at night received a telegram stat
ing that he would be sent to the Dry
Tortugus for two years. Mr. Stowers
was sent to the Tortugus, and kept
there until his sentenced expired, for a
crime he never committed, and the
writer saw him when on his way back
to his family. ^
His sufferings, while confined in the
different prisons and with the sentence
of death hanging over him, were horri
ble to listen to. His noble wife clung
to him through all of his troubles, and
a good little fortune was spent by her to
save her husband.
Gaines Stowers has long since gone to
his final account, but a nobler hearted
gentleman never lived, and we are con
fident that he never committed the
crime with which the Yankees charged
him.

Wanton Cruelty to Cattle.
Cincinnati, O., March 19.—The village
of Cleves ia excited over as wanton a
piece of cruelty as has ever come to the
notice of the authorities. Residing on a
farm near there is a retired Methodist
mini ter named Smith.
Smith had quite a large herd of cattle
of n itive breed. Recently a notion pos
sessed him that he wanted “moolieB,”
or home s cattle: so driving h sherd
into the stable, with the help of a hired
man, he sawed off every horn.
Two of the cattle have since died from
this mutiUation, and other's are sick,
Saturday the S. P. C. A., hearing of
this, sent their agent to Smith s m farm to
formulate a charge of cruelty t<5 animals,

First. It is just as neces
sary tiiat fertilizer should be
in good mechanical condition
and throughly assimilated in
order to obtain the best re
sult from its use as it is-
necessary that the soil be
prepared thoroughly before
planting, if one would make
a good crop.
Second. When one buys
a fertilizer the first question
should be not how much am
monia the manufacturer guar
antees, but whether the am
monia is thoroughly assimilat
ed and ready' to act immedi
ately on the plant. This he
will know by examining a
complete and absolutely am-
moniated fertilizer, like the
ASH EPOO or the ElfTAAV,
where the component parts are
so united as to from a per
fect whole. The field test of
such goods will bring about
the most profitable results.
Third. As one is largely
dependent upon the integri
ty of the manufacturer he
should buy fertilizers front
a house known to be absolute
ly' reliable and who would
only handle goods made b*
absolutely first clas®
manufacturers. Thus one
will avoid paying out mon
ey for inferior goods that
would probably' yield no prac
tical returns.

cal condition of the ASHE
POO EUTAW and CHRO-
LINA FERTILIZERS,their
throng assimilation and
their complete availability
probably cannot be surpass
ed by the product of any fac
tory in America. They use
only the v ery purest and
best ammoniatesin the manu
facture of their goods, as-
their object is no* to make
the CHEAPEST hut to*
make the BEST AN1>
most productive:
FERTILIZER FOR COT
