SOUTHERN BANNER: JANUARY 22, 1878.
Ilowell Cobb’s Politeness.
Gen. Layfayette McLaws, in his
recent address on the “ Battle of Get
tysburg,” after relating a flag scene in
WilUamport, added : “ This reminds
me of an incident that happened while
on the march through Frederick City
on our previous campaign of invasion.
Gen. Howell Cobb’s brigade, a very
large and fine one, indeed, was march
ing with a band of music playing
through the streets, the General at the
head of his column, when two ladies
appeared on a balcony waiving two
small flags. The General, a gallant
gentleman as he was, with the ladies
iu war, pulled of his hat and bowed
to them with great curtesy, his men
cheering in unison ; but presently the
cheering was succeeded by a burst of
laughter from the rear, and as the
General turned to find out the cause,
the men shouted : “ Why, General,
those are Federal flags!” The Gens
eral not at all disconcerted, replied at
once : “ Never mind, boys, that is not
the first time I have pulled off my hat
to that flag!’’ The men now cheered
more than before, and the column
went on in the best of humor. I men
tion this to show with what little un
worthy and ungenerous feeling our
men went iuto the invasion, and
scorned to give offense or insult where
it could not be resented.”
That Moot Court .
Editor Banner—It you had been
as lucky as I, and bad the pleasure
of u spectator, the
MdoVCouiV m 'i*rof. Mitchell’s law
class, of this place last Saturday, you
would, I think, have learned a litt’e
about the law, as it was well ex
pounded by those well trained and
talented young lawyers of this school.
They seemed to be thoroughly versed
i:i all branches of the science which
is owing to the special traiuing in all
parts of the law course given. They
brought up the old poet Savage and
tried him over, not being satisfied
with his former trial some hundred
and fifty years ago. The Messrs.
Thomas and Davis held high the
dignity of the State in flowery terms,
and defying either counsel for the
old poet to dare impeach their iclt-
nesse/t. The counsel for old poet—
Harris and Lowry, acted well their
part and made a division in the jury
in spile of law anil evidence. The
voang gentlemen conducted the case
as old and experienced lawyers
would have done. The jury not
agreeing, Savage will {not be hung
yet awhile. “ Spectator.”

An Extra Session of the Geor
gia Legislatue.
Col. Alexander, of Rome, whose
opinion covers the whole ground, says
if the office of Governor should be
come vacant by death of the present
incumbent before the meeting of the
Legislature in November next, Hon.
Rufus E. Lester, present President of
the Senate would, unquestionably
be the Governor. He says:
“ The Legislature elect would not
be competent to call itself together.
It is against the constitution for it to
assemble before November, 1878. It
was elected for the purpose of meet
ing on that day, and it cannot meet
at any other time, unless the Gov
ernor should convene it by a call.
Until the members of the Legislature
meet and are qualified, the old
Legislature is our regular Legisla
ture. If the Governor should die,
President Lester will be Governor ex
officio.
“ As to the homestead, it would be
impossible for any one to take either
the homestead of’68 or ’77 just now.
Th2 two homesteads were put up as
two candidates anil voted for. The
homestead uf’08 was wiped out by
the vote; all that attaches to it went
with it. As to the homestead of’77,
there is no technical channel through
which that could be reached. It is a
guaranteed right that is not at pres
ent available. I do. not think, how
ever, it will be necessary for the
Legislature to be called to prpvidf Tjt
remedy. The courts will n#tke »last
for themselves, as they frequently do.
They will probably take the pro
cedure of ’68 and allow a man to
take under it the homestead of *77.”
entreated not to precipitate them- j
selves from the window while there
remains the least possiblity of assis-;
tauce, and even in the lasteiutremity
a plain rope is invaluable, or resource
may be had by joining sheets or
blankets together, fastening one end
to the bedpost or other furniture.
This will enable one person to lower
all the others separately, and the last
may let himself down with compara
tively little risk. Select a window
over the doorway rather than over
the area.
Do not give vent to the fire by
breaking into the house unnecessari
ly’ from without or, if an inmate, by
opening the door or windows.
Make a point of shutting every door
after you as von go through the
house. For this purpose doors in
closing the staircase are very useful.

rcllcct that your greatest danger
arises from draught to flames and
from their rising upward. Throw
yourself on the ground and roll over
on the flame—if possible on The rug
or loose drugget, which drag under
you. The table cover, a man’s coat,
anything of the kind at hand, will
serve your purpose. Scream for as
sistance?, ring the he’d, but do not run
out of the room or remain in an up
right position.
Persons especially exposed to the
risk of their dresses taking fire should
adopt the precaution of having all
linen and cotton washed in a weak
solution of chloriil of zine, alum or
tungstate of sods.
George' Alfred Townsend, in the
Ciucir»at,ti Gazette, has this to say
about Georgia Statesmen:
“ The story of modern Georgia
politics, as I am told, was a combina
tion made between llowcll Cobb,
Toombs and Stephens,^ about 1856,
which made Cobb Governor, Toombs
Senator, and re-elected Stephens
to Congress. Cobb ; s regarded as the
ablest headed man Georgia has pro
duced, Toombs as the most willful
and individual orator, and S.ephens
as the most subtilo politician. Hill
went into Stephens’ district when a
lad, and stumped so personally and
fiercely against him that Stephens,
whose skin is as thin as a mosquito I .
net, sent Hill a challenge. Toombs,
also, was subject to Hill's virile at
tacks, and bate resulted. Gordon
came up in the war as a fine officer,
and his activity and zeal have ecr-
tainlv made him a strong Senator.
A Very good Reason.—The rea
son why only one sample bottle of Haraua
Merrell’s Hepatine for the Liver
will he sold to the same person, for ten
cents, by our Druggist, C. W. Long &
Co. is because of t he enormous expense of
importing the Hepatine into, this coun
try ; but as there are fifty doses in the
large size bottles, it seems two cents
per dose is cheap enough after all for a
medicine that cures dyspepsia and liv
er complaint. All who have not had
a sample bottle are entitled to one for
ten cts. at C. W. Long & Co., Drug
store. Thiee doses relieves any case
of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion
or liver complaint, in thfe. world.

A Few Common Sense Directions that Fverjboily
Can Understand.
The following directions lor con
duct in case of fire are issued by the
British Iloyal Society for the Pro
tection of Life from Fire:
Every household should make each
person in his home acquainted with
the best means of escape, whether
the fire breaks out at the top or at
the bottom
Inmates at the fire alarm should
endeavor calmly to reflect what
means of escape there are iu the
house. If in bed at the time wrap
themselves iu a blanket or beside
carpet; open neither windows nor
doors more than necessary; shut
every door after them. (This is
most important to observe).
In the midst of smoke it is compar
atively clear towards the ground;
consequently progress through smoke
can be made on the hands and knees.
A silk handkerchief, worsted stockens
or other flannel substance, wetted
and drawn over the lace, permits free
breathing and excludes to a great
extent the smoke froth the lungs. A
wet sponge is alike efficacious.
In the event of being unable to
escape either by the street, door or
the roof, the person in danger should
immediately make their way to the
front room window, taking care to
close the door after them, and those
who have charge of the household
should ascertain that every individual
is there assembled.
Persons thus circumstanced are

HIGH PHICBS!
I have the Largest and Finest Stock I have ever offered to the
public of
P ri
section. 1 had abandoned all hope of ever pro
curing an instrument which would even, with
special care retain the Rupture, nnd I aiu free
to confess that when I called on you nud ob
tained your instrument, I had no more confi
dence in it than in any of the others which
promised so innch and
PERFORMED NOTHING.
Yon will probably remember that my hernia
was of a most obstinate character, it hiving
baffled the skill of expert truss manufacturers,
but Dorn the day I commenced wearing your
instrument, 1 have not had the slightest trouble.
The hernia remains permanently reduced and
firmly held in positio , while the appliance is
mo6t undoubtedly less uncomfortable and in
convenient than any I have ever worn.
Unsolicited, and as an act of simple justice to
yourself, I have felt it to be my duty to state
this much ta you, and in doing so, lot me assure
you that if auy person similarly afflicted desires
MY UNBIA8BD OPINION
of your invaluable instrument, you are at lib
erty lo refer one and all to me. You can use
this letter under any and all circumstances, and
refer to me in any way and at any time.
I shall take pleasure in seeing yon in person
on Tuesday of this week, when I can better con
vey to you my thanks for the benefit derived
from your skill. With the very kindest regards,
I am fraternatly yours, Sin. A. Damour.
