SOUTHERN BANNER: FEBRUARY 25,
Tuesday, February 25, 1879.
The Slate Agricultural Society
which recently held its spring session
at Hawkinsville decided to hold the
next 8tate Fair at Alacon. Augusta
was too slow this time.
The State Agricultural Society at
its recent session at Hawkiuoville
passed resolutions fully endorsing the
Agricultural and Geological Depart'
. inents of the State. So now let the
wonld-he representatives of the (arm'
era and their interest, cease their dem
agoguery and torn their attention to
something they know more about, or
are more capable of representing.
The general appropriation bill still
hangs fire in Congre s. The Demo
crats still insist upon a repeal of the
laws requiring the iron clad oath of
jurors in the United Slates Courts,
and providing for Federal supervisors
of elections, while the Republicans
are equally obstinate in their opposi
tion thereto. A failure to pass the
appropriation bill seems more than
probable, in which event an extra
session of Congress will.be called.
General R. II. Chilton, Adjutant
and Inspector General of the Army
of Northern Virginia, under General
R. E. Lee, died in Columbus, Ga.,
on last Tuesday. General Chilton has
ouly resided in Columbus since the
war. He was a native of Virginia
whence his remains have been carried
for interment, under the care of a
military escort from the cities of Cos
luinbus and Atlanta. The funeral
ceremonies took place in the city of
Richmond on Inst Sunday and doubt-
leas was a most solemn and imposing
occasion.
Dr. O. W. Liongj'The Discov
erer of Anaesthesia.
Mr. A. W. R< ese, one of the edi
tors of the Macon Tdtgraph and
Jfessbnger and who has been spend
ing ibe winter in Washington City,
in a coirespondence to his paper ha-
been giving the public somewhat Of
an insight, into how some of the In-
dependents sought aid from the Re
publican leaders during our late Con
gressional campaigns Elsewhere we
produce an extract from Mr. Reese’s
correspondence which speaks for itseli
Mr. Reese is doing good service for
his party nnd his country in lerreiing
out these matters, and we hope he
will continue at it until lie has dis
covered and disclosed to the public
this whole affair of co-operation be
tween the Independents and the Re
publicans to defeat the Democratic
party.
In another column we extract an
article from the Augusta Chronicle
and Constitutionalist which gives
the main features of the new census
bill. This bill so far has failed to be
come a law, a disagreement occuring
between the Democrats and Republi
cans as to who shall appoint the su
pervisors of census in the different
States. The Democrats lake the po
sition that the appointing power
should be given to the Governors of
the respective Slates, while the Re
publicans insist that these appoint
ments should be made by the Secre
tary of the Interior. There is much
political interest being felt in this
bill, as it will effect very material
changes in the representation in
Congress from most of the Stiles,
especially so among those ofthe West.
As the 4th of March is now so near
at hand, it is more than probable that
the partisan fight being made over
the measures now before the 45th
Congress, will cause them to be enter
ed upon the list of unfinished busi
ness.
Mr. A. W. Reese, in his editorial
correspondence to the Macon
Tdtgraph <fc Messenger, charges that
duriug the recent canvass, in the
Seventh District, a letter was
written to Senator Ferry (Rep.) of
Michigan, “imploring, in the most
piteously pathetic terms, material aid
irom the Radical Congressional
Campaign Committee for Dr. Felton,
in his canvass against the Democratic
nominee and party.” JMr.Reese gays
that Senator Ferry sent the letter to
IIuu. J. A Hubbell, a Republican
member of the House from the same
State, and also a member of the
above named campaign committee.
It was afterwards tnrned over to Mr.
Gorham, Secretary of the committee,
and also Secretary ofthe Senate.
“All the persons named agree as to
the nature and text of the letter, and
of how eloquently the writer plead
for Radies! money to enable the
so-called Independent leader to carry
the election.” Mr.Reesc does not give
the name of the author of the letter,
but his language conveys the
impression that Mrs. Felton was the
writer. In a matter of this kind
there should not be hint* or' intima
tions. Mr. Reese says he does not
publish it, but knows the name well,
lie should give it, by all means.—

A great howl is being made by the
buncotnbeites and demagogues
throughont the Slate against the
Agricultural and Geological bureaus.
They are bold enough to show their
ignorance by assertiug that these de
partments are a great, unnecessary,
nnd unwarrantable expense to the
State,.an extravagance which should
not bo tolerated ly economic govern
ment, Now any intelligent and fair-
minded matt who eschews demagog-
ism, and has only the true interest of
his State at heart,.can easily satisfy
himself from the facts, that these de
partments aside from advancing Geor
gia along with other States of true
scientific progress, have actually
brought a revenue to. the State, over
and abfiVe all expense of supporting
them. Then with these facts, which
are so easily proven, we say, it is
high lime that the intelligence, the
wisdom, and the statesmanship of
the true men of Georgia should come
to the front, and with an .effort as
earnest and decidedj as it will prove
advantageous and successful silence
and pat to shame these howling dem
agogues, that opr grand old common
wealth may no longer suffer from
their false pretensions and roinons
ideas of retrenchment, and reform.
Let it‘ever be remembered, that,
that miserable parsimony which comes
of demagogisin and narrow trjnded-
ness, is the meanest and most rninous
extravagance.
Below we publish tbo resolutions
adopted by the Athens Medical As
sociation, at a meeting held on yes
terday, the 24tU inst:
That the late Dr. Crawford W.
Long, of Athens, Ga., was the true
discoverer of Anoesthesia there can
exist no just or reasonable doubt.
Dr. J. Marion Sims, of New York,
published in 1877, in the May num
bdr of the “Virginia Medical Month
ly,” a fpjl account of the disoovery
of Anaesthesia giving all the facts
set forth by the different claimants
as to the discovery of this great boon
to the civilized wrrld. Among these
claimants are Dr. C. W. Long, of
Athens, Ga; Dr. Horace Wells, of
Hartford, Ct; Dr. W. T. G. Morton,
and Dr. Charles T. Jackson, of Bos
ton, Mass.
Dr. Sims after giving a plain state
ment ot all the facts bearing upon
the question, as to who was the true
and rightful discoverer of Anaesthesia,
sums up as follows:
“ Long’s Anaesthesia with Sulphur
ic Ether was on the 30lb of March,
1842.”
“ Wells’ Anaesthesia with nitrous
oxide gas w: s on the 11th of Decem
ber, 1844.”
" Morton’s Anaesthesia with Sul
phuric Ether was on the SOih of Sep-i
tember, 1846.’’
“ Thus we sec that Long ante
dates Wells two years and eight
months’ and ante-dates Morton four
years and six months.”
Morton and Jackson it seems were
associated together in the medical
profession in the city of Boston and
their claims arc made conjointly. '
It appears from Dr. Sims publica
tion ot facts, that Dr. Morton, had,
upon his claim of being the first to
use Sulphuric Ether for the pnrjiose
of producing Anaesthesia, applied to
Congress tor an appropriation which
he demanded for his discovery.
Upon this point Dr. Sims, says:
“When Long’s claim to the honor of
discovering Anaesthesia was presen •
ted to Congress by the Hon. Mr.
Dawson, Senator from Georgia, it
was formidable enough to block the
movements of Morion to get the ap
propriation he demanded tor his dis
covery. They were so strong that
Dr. Charles T. Jackson went to
Athens, Georgia, expressly to see
Dr. Long on the subject. In a com
munication to the Boston Mcdit&l
and Surgical Journal April 11th,
1801, Dr. Charics T. Jackson says he
visited Dr. Long at Athens,-Georgia,
on March 8ih, 1854, to examine into
Dr. Long’s claims to being the first
to use sulphuric ether as an anaes
thetic in surgery, and he further
says; “From the documents shown
me by Dr. Long, it appears that he
employed sulphuric ether as an anaes
thetic agent—
First. On March 30th, 1842, when
lie extirpated a small glandular tumor
from the neck of James M. Venable,
a hoy [Mr. Venable was over 21
years old wheu the operation was
performed.—J. M. S.] in Jefferson,
Georgia, now dead.
Second. On July 3d, 1842, in the
amputation of the toe of a negro boy
belonging to Mrs. Hemphill, of Jack,
son, Georgia.
Third. On September 9th, 1843,
in the exterpatiou of a tumor from
the head of Alary Vincent, ot Jackson,
Georiga.
Fourth. On January 8th, 1845; in
the amputation of a finger of a negro
boy belonging to Ralph Baily, of
Jackson, Georgia.
Copies of the letters and deposi
tions proving these operations with
ether were all shown me by Dr.
Long.
He also referred me to physcians
in Jefferson who knew of the opera
tions at the time.”
The above extract from Dr. Jack
son’s paper to the Bostou Medical
Journal recognizes Long’s claim to
being the first to produce anaesthesia
for surgical operations, but it docs
not tell the whole story of Dr. Jack
son’s visit to Dr. Long.
Dr. Long has furnished me witli all
the evidence, consisting of affidavits,
certificates, book entries, &c., that
Dr. JacKson examined, lie had also
written me fully on the subject, nnd
every fact that I have slaiod can be
sustained by documentary evidence.
In one ot Dr. Long’s letters to
me (Nov. 5, 1876), be says:
“In 1854 Dr. Charles T. Jackson
came to Georgia and spent two days
with me in Athens, most of the time
in my office, examining books, ac
counts, dates and certificates estab
lishing the time, &c., of my opera
tions. He expressed himself satisfied
with the correctness of my claim to
the first use of ether as an anaesthet
ic in surgical operations. Dr. Jack-
son informed me that he would go
from Athens to Dablonega, Georgia,
and as I knew he must pass through
Jefferson where I resided up to 1850,
and where my first operations under
ether were performed, I requested
him to slop in Jefferson and see some
of the physicians there who witnessed
or knew of the operations, and also a
number of the citizecs of the village
who either witnessed the operations
or were familiar with them from com
mon report. Dr. [Jackson spent one
or more days in Jefferson, and ou his
return, expressed himself satisfied
with the testimony.”
“ In Dr. Jackson’s communication
to the Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal (April 11th, 1861), he neg
lected to say anything ofthe informa
tion he obtained while in Jefferson,
although he admitted to me on his
return that the evidence was perfect
ly satisfactory.”
The Hon. C. W. Andrews, of Mad
ison, Georgia, informs me that he was
in Di^ Long’s employ and in his
office when Dr. Jackson spent a
whole day with Long in comparing
uotea and talking over the subject
of etherization, and it seems that the
real object of Dr. Jackson’s visit to
Dr. Long was to indace- Long to
unite with him in laying their con
joint claims before Congress as the
real discoverers of anaesthesia as op
posed to those ot Morton. Jackson
was willing to concede to Long the
honor of being the first to use • ther
in surgical operations, but wished
Long to concede to him the honor of
priority in making the discovery of
the principle of auaestbesia when he
inhaled ether to relieve the pain and
difficulty of breathing after inhaling
chlorine gas (as Sir Humphrey Davy
had done before).
■ Dr. Long says (February 8tb,
1877): “ In our conversation I un»
demood Dr. Jackson to yield the
point of priority, to me—and eo did
the Hon. 0. W. Andrews. I did not
admit to him that he was the first to
make the discovery—leiving to me
• • ' \
its practical application ; and when
ho propo.-ed to me to unite our claims
—he to claim the^discoveryand I its
first practical use in surgical opera
tions—I positively refused. I was
satisfied that I u-ns entitled to the
credit of the di-oovety, as well as of
the first practical use ot e(her in »ur
gical operations.”
• Instead of writing' to Senator
Dawsop?<to unite our claims as Dr.
Jackson jjfquested, I wrote to Mr.
Dawson to make no such compromise,
but to place infuMW solely on their
merits if you-will gopsylt the
Congrel-ional. proceedings of ' that
time you will see that M% Dpwaon
presented <ny claims separate aii in
dependent.’ *>
Dr. Jackson is further quoted by
Dr. Sims as having said to Dr. Long
during his visit to Athens in March
1854, “ You have the advantage of
priority in date and in the first use of
ether as an flnaeslheti?; but we have
the advantage of priority ot publica-
cation’’. .-nr •
Now upon this point Dr. Jackson
is evidently mistakeu as to his “advan
tage of priority of publication.” For
abundant and indubitable evidence is
given that Dr. Long did exhibit to
medical men and to the community at
large bis operations under the influx
ence of ether jn 1842, while Wells,
Jackson, and Morton made no exhibit
until ns late ns 1844 and 1816. It is
true Dr. Long may not hsve'pablished
iiis discovery in the medical journals
of the country, nor does it" appear
that the other claimants did, but ex
hibiting their experiments in the large
cities of New York and Boston, of
course better opportunities were affor
ded for disseiuuiinatiug the facts
throughout the medical world.
Abundant evidence has been pro
duced by Dr. Long to prove that he
made no secret of his discovery, but
on the contrary- communicated it as
rapidly to the medical fraternity a9
his restricted and limited facilities
would permit, and the fact that he
perhaps did not publish it through
the medical journals of the country,
makes him none the less the true dis
coverer.
Having submitted sufficient from
the records to establish beyond con
troversy the tact that Dr.Long was the
first ever to use sulphuric either as an
anaesthetic agent iu surgical opera
tions, and which fact lias been fully
admitted and substantiated liy the
very testimony of the other claimants
themselves, and esjiecially by the
evidence laid before Congress by lion.
W. C. Dawson, as to Dr. Long* being
the true discoverer, we now come to
the real purpose of tills notice.
W hat, let us ask ourselves, has
been the great blessing bestowed upon
the civilized world by this the great
est ot all human di-coveries? While
the appreciative spirit of the world is
now being so extensively exercised to
properly honor and immortalize the
names and fame of those who have
so adorned the nineteenth ceutury’
with inventions and discoveries of
such inestimable value to science as
applied to the more vapid growth and
development of our material interests,
yet let it be remembered that to Dr.
Crawford W. Long, belongs the
lienor of having discovered a bless
ing to mankind incomparably greater
than all the combined discoveries of
this or any other age.
A Newton, a Gallileo, a Fulton, a
Morse and Various other devotees of
science, have through their invalua-
ble contributions to the scientific,
commercial, and industrial world ren
dered their names as lastingly hon
ored as time itself. A Harvey, a
Jenner, a Cooper, a Laennec, aud
indeed many earnest and devoted fol
lowers of the science of mediciue
have most, enduringly inscribed their
names upon the roil of the worlds
benelactors, but to Dr. Long was
reserved the honor of discovering
that greatest ot all boons to suffering
man ; that which so quiets to rest the
uervous sensibilities ot our natures as
to render us insensible to the many
ills aud sufferings of life, and to make
safe and endurable the frightful op
erations of the surgeons band, and so
often demanded through accident
and disease.
Whensoever science and civilization
have inarkcd.their impress upon this
habitable globe, bestowing in their
rapid and onward march their ben
efits and blessings, there will wo
find the immeasurable benefactions
which have been vouchsafed to suf
fering mortals through the discovery'
of Anaethesia. Dr. Long, not by ac
cident, but in a most philosophical
and logical manner, and with that
modesty, aud skillful care, which
come of true science and learning,
did, through the earnest aud scientif
ic application of that higher
order of mind with which he
was endowed, nobly and successfullv
filled his sphere in life, and, in so doing,
has justly and truly won for himself
the proud honor of being one ofthe
world’s greatest benefactors, and
Which honor will be as imperishable
as the blessings which have, and
which will ever continue to come of
his invaluable discovery. Appn da
ting, as a -true Christian gentleman
and philanthropist, and as a true man
of science, the sphere of usefulness
which he was called tlpon to fill
through the kind and most benevo
lent endowments of nature, he was
ever earnest and assiduous in the ap
plication of his skill and bis talents to
the amelioration of the sufferings of
his fellow-man, How pleasing is the
reflection, that, with this tree' man of
science, this Christian andjjphilanthro-
pist, a life of such usefulness should
nave been so beantifully and so hon
orably ended He died at his post,
and almost the last request of his life
was, that he might be permitted to
relieve the suffering of his patient
through the use of that agent, the
discovery of which made h in one of
the greatest among the living, and
now one of the most honored and
renowned among the dead, men of
medicine. It is a fact, which should
fill, alike w th pride, the heart of ev
ery medical man in Georgia and in
America, that this great discoverer
was a native of our State and our
country. , *
Congress having os yet failed to
make that appropriation (n behalf of
this discovery, and which itso richly
and so justly demands, then it should
be t)ie .proud hopor, and the most
pleating duty, of the medical profes
sion ot Georgia, ol America, and in
deed of the ; whole world, to make a
jpst and merited recognition ahd
tribute of honor to the memory of so
great a benefactor. We would sag*

Anaesthesia clearly proves Dr. Craw
ford W.Long to be the firstto ever
Sulphuric Stfier as an Anaesthetic
apenMn surgical operations; and
Whereas, Dr. Lcfe£ was a native
Georgian, and especially a native of
our own section, we, the Medical As
sociation of Athens, and of which he
was the honored and esteemed Presi
dent, must necessarily feel much
pride in claiming so valuable, so use
ful, and so scientific a man as our
companion in medicine, and likewise
feeling that not only a most pleasing
sense of duty, but a most justifiable
sense of pride aud honor, make it
eminently proper and commendable
.that this Association should take the
initiatory steps in bringing about, on
the ’part ot the Medical Profession, a
full and just recognition ofthe claims
*>f Dr. Long, to being the first and
itrae discoverer of Anaesthesia, there
fore, be it,
Resolved, That from the accumu
lation ot facts and evidence deduced,
this Society is ful’y satisfied that Dr.
Crawford W. Long, of Athens, Ga.,
was the first person who ever used
Sulphuric Ether as an Anaesthetic
agent, in surgical operations; and as
an act of justice to the distinguished
discoverer, now deceased, and to lire
honor of the profession of our own
