THE COURANT-AMERICAN. Free Trade. The reduction of internal revenue and the taking oil of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manu facturers. Especially is this the case with Greeu’s August Flower and Boe chee’s German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozeD, has been added to increase the size of the lx>ttlps contuining these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Ltxjg troubles, have perhaps, the largest Bale of any medicines iu the world. The advantage of increased size t f the bottles will be greatly appreciaied by the sick and afflicted, iu every town and village in civilized countri-’s. Simple bottles for 10 cents remain the same size. t i ADVICE TO MOTHERS. Are you disturbed at night and broken of your rest by a sick child suffering and crying with pain of cutting teeth?” If so, send at once and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Children teething. Its value is incalculable. It will relieve the poor little sufferet immediately. Depend upon it, mothers, there is no mistake about it. It cures dysentery and diarrhoea, regulates the stomach and bowels, cures wind colic; softens the gums, reduces infl mation and gives tone and energy to the whole sytem. Mrs. Winslow’s Fkiothing Syrup for children Teething is pleasant to the tate and is the prescription of one of the oldest and best female nurses and phy sicians in United States, and is forjsale by all druggists throughout the world Price 25 cents a bottle.

Douglas, Ga., Jan. 8. —[Special to the Constitution,]-—”! hope that God may paralize me” were the words spoken by William Burkett. At once his hands dropped to his side, his legs refused to move, and his eyes rolled wi'dly around. His prayer was answered, as he stood parabzed on the spot, where but a few moments before he was a magnificent type of physical manhood, He tried to speak, but his tongue would not move. Half a dezen, who were present, were rendered motionless by the evident visita tion of the hand of God. When they re covered self-possession they tenderly moved the afflicted man to his residence, a half mile distant. When Miss Rhody Burkett saw the plight in which her fath er was brought home, she iscreamed and fainted, and died a few days later. For years Mr. Burkett bad been the fer ryman at the Hawkinsyille road crossing of tbe Ocmuleee river, He wre of giant physique, with long gray locks, and be came especially noted because of the brace of revolvers which he kept strapped to his waist. He wa§ a great hunter, and the terry being in the midst, of. A swamp, be was convenient to an abundance of game. From those who lived around him it is learned that he was fearfully profane. Whenever he sighted game and was called off from it by an alarm from the ferry, he would pour out such a voi le v of paths as would make the flesh of ordinary men crawl. It was while in one of these profane spells that he cursed Ins Creator, and wound up with the ex pression above quoted. The news soon spread through the country, and scores of people s<>ou called to see the victim. He was at first com pletely prostrated, but subsequently was enabled to take a fe\y when fie would fall.

A Deprate anti Futile Attempt to Gain fit* Ear ef the Legislature. I Kiehmond Dispatch] Rev. Dr. W. E. Hatcher, pastor of j Grace street Baptist church, who is act ing as Cluverius’ spiritual adviser, called upon the Governor yesterday, but found me Governor busy, and the Doctor said !he would call agfliu. His desire was to | see Goyernor Lee with reference to Clu verius, and the surmise is that he means to ask for a further reprieve, and pos sibly renew the reqqest of Mr. Willie ; Cluverious that the Governor to go to the jail to tßlk to the condemned man. Mr. Willie Cluverius asked of the Governor the favor of keeping their correspondence on this subject from the - public, and the Governor has done so; nevertheless it is well known that the Governor was firm in declining the interview because he could not believe that it would result in throw ing any additional light on tlte case. cluyrrius’s spiritual condition. The Governor’s reprieve trom Decetn . ber 10th, to January the 14th, was only granted upon the earnest solicitation o’ Hatcher, who represented that Cluverius had beeu, up to that time, so engrossed in preparing his case for executive action that really he had not the necessary time fir spiritual preparation. The same can be said now. Cluverius has from the beginning de luded himself with false hopes. When he was arrested and brought here to Rich mond be said that he did not know what tiis friends would think when they heard that lie was arrested on such a grave charge; “but,” he added ? “it will be all right to-morrow when Tgo before the po lice justice.” He seemed confident of an acquittal by the jury; thought surely he was going to get anew trial from the Su preme Court; believed that the Supreme Court would grant him a rehearing; and, finally put his trust in the Goyernor. tie produced no evidence to show that the jury and the courts erred, and conse quently the Governor could not interfere. And yet he hopes. THE LEGISLATURE. So far as hia appeal to the members ot the General Assembly is concerned, that has been a great failure. What could he nave expected of the Legislature anyhow? Not more than a seventh or a sixth of the members have responded favorably to tbe appeal. If a majority of them had joined in a petition to the Governor* for a further reprieve it is not at all certain that the Goyernor would have obligated, even in courtesy, to defer to their wishes. They have not informed themselves ibout the case. The Governor has. It is a matter not for legislative action; but for judicial and executive. Besides, though thousands of men claim to be “well-informed” about the case, it is hard ly wide ot the mark to say not one ir. a thousand really is. Even where a man reads evefy “scrap of evidence” as pub lished, and could give it proper weight and application, it does not follow that he is posted like the jury, the trial-judge, the Supreme Court and the Governor. A knowledge of the topography of the city, especially of the reservoir grounds, is al most indispensable requisite to a thorough understanding of the case, and one or more important pieces of evidence pro duced before the jury were altogether un publishable! However, the members generally have declined to sign. What is more, there is at this moment no immediate prospect of a legislative decision. The revisors ot the Code are here, and it appears that tttbir work is not suffi iently advanced to war rant the calling of an extra session on that account. The upshot of it all is (and it is more kindness than cruelty ■to the prisoner to say it) that unless there is some remarka ble revelation made the sentence of the law T will most certainly be executed on the 14th instant. THE RICHMOND MEMBERS. Copies of the circular of Mr. William Cluverius were received by tbe Richmond members of the Legislature yesterday. A dispatch reporter called on each of them last night except Hon. James N. Dunlop, who is confined at home by sick ness, and Hon. Henry Carter, and their expressions of opinions are given below: Senator Ellison: I don’t propose to take any action whatever in the matter. Senator Lovenstein:- I do not expect to reply to the circular at all. I- could not do so favorably, snd see no use of writing that I cannot sign the petition. I don’t think we (meaning the members of the General Assembly) have anything to do with the matter. Hon. James D. Patton, member of the House of Delegates, was not last night, but in conversation with a Dispatch reporter several days ago said - that he would do nothing in the premises. Delegate Starke: This geptfeman said that he had written a letter to Willie Clu verius. His was that as a legislator he had nothing to do with the case, but that as a citizen he would sign a.petition for a fpri-her reprieve. The circular which was sent to Gen eral Wickham,. Senator from Hanover, by VV. B. Cluverius was sent to the Gov ernor yesterday with the following indors ment: “Respectfully referred to General Lee, Goveihor of Virginia. The Legis lature of Virginia has nothing to do With this matter, and if it had, should only confirm your action in the matter, which meets with my entiie and complete ap proval. Yonrs truly, “W. C. Wickham.” THE HOOK. Cluverius’s book has not yet been dis posed of, nor has any arrangement been made for publishing it. The trouble, so far as selling the M 5. is concerned, is that if the prisoner should at the last make a confession the book would be worthless as a saleable article. True, he has so far shown no disposition at all to make aDy admissions or confession, but. would-be purchasers take into consid eration the possibility that he may yet do so. It is believed that Cluverius has nevei —to counsel or to any one —made a confession. To all he had declared his. inm>ceuce; but on the other h aid he neyer has mven up all hope. . When that time comes he.may pursue a different course. It is one of the rumors 6f the times that he was advised by some of his personal friends that a denial that he never saw Lillian Madison on March the 13th, 1885, would never be believed, and that (if it was true) he ought tb admit that he was with her during the day and left her at the American hotel at night. This, the report goes on to say, he declined to do. Yesterday the prisoner was as calm and cheerful as usual. His face shows few marks-of anxiety, and remembering that he, has been imprisoned since March 19th, 183$, he is strong and healthy-looking for a, man of his slight physique, Middle . 4tttT Southern Georgia have ! been enjoying.' a genuine snow storm, ! s(jch-as has -hejter Been seen'before.

The Correspondence With Publisher Elder Likely to See D>light. Philadelphia Times.] It is probable that before mmy ands have elapsed the sensational correspon dence which passed between A. I*. El der, the owner of Literary Life, and Miss Rose Elizabeth Clevelatd, its whilom editor will be given lo the pub lic. Nearly four weeks ago the letters, said to contain by for the most spicy things Mias Cleveland has ever written, were secured by W. R. Bradshaw, the present editor of the magazine, and he tmme iately began negotiating fr their sale. Two weeks ago he came to New York, but has not succeeded in dispos ing of his literary wares. In the mean time he has had rather au excitiug ex perience, which embraced, among other hardships, a night in prison. Bradshaw was to receive fifty dollars a week, but he evidently never saw that compensa tion many times. Mr. Elder deemed it best, under the circumstances, to make a partner of Mr. Bradshaw, So ever since then, covering a period of more thau a year, Mr. Bradshaw's weekly profits, which represented his salary, averaged ten dollars. To get what he considered his own, it is said he gather ed iu the Cleveland correspoudenee, which included, besides what that tal ented lady wrote to her publisher dur ing the months of her stormy relations with him, all that her publisher wrote in reply. Wneu Mr. Bradshaw suggested that he be empowered to call on certain New York advertisers to demand the pay ment of checks the magazine held, Mr. Elder willingly consented. Shortly af ter Mr. Bradshaw came ou here. Mr. Elder followed, taking a suite of splen did rooms in au up-towu hotel. He sent for Bradshaw aud made inquiries about advertising cheoks. The interview was not satisfactory. Mr. Bradshaw would neither explain the fate of the checks nor turn them over to the publisher. A second interview was requested. When Mr. Bradshaw appeared he was asked again ; “Will you give up those checks once for ail?” “No, sir,” said he, reso lutely: “I shall not uutil I have re ceived what is coming to me.” At this Mr. Elder whistled aud two de tectives entered, grasped Mr. Bradshaw by the arms and, without further parley ing or explanation, he was taken off to see the police station, and because of in ability to get word to his friends remain ed there all night. Next morning Mr. Bradshaw handed over the advertising checks aud was liberated. The letters are said to be extremely interes 4 ing. In one of them Mi’bs Cleveland accuses Mr. Eider of having woven around her “a web of infamy.” In another the fact appears that she offered $5,000 for Lit erary Life, when she found herself so seriously immersed that to dissever her editorial connection would bring upon h r ridicule and perhaps disgrace. The feature of Mr. Elder’s epistle is the spirit of humility aud patience which they breathe aud the diplomacy which is discoverable beneath. EIGHT THOUSAND MILES OF RAIL ROAD BUILT IN 1886. Manufacturers’ Record.] The predictions made during 1835 and the early part of 1880 in the Manufactur ers’ Record that 1886 would be a year of great activity in railroad building have been fully verified. The actual work done has exceeded the highest estimates made by any reliable authority. The Railway Age predicted that 7,000 miles would be constructed, but its report fir the year shows that this estimate was ex ceeded by 1,000 miles. According to this report the new mileage in the Southern States was as follows : Miles. Maryland 5 West Virginia. „•>,*. 104 Virginia 34 North Carolina.....’ 168 Georgia 138 Florida * 321 Alabama. 60 Mississippi Is 9 Louisiana 23 Tennessee 26 Kentucky 68 Arkansas 36 Texas 543 Total ....1,826 Putting the average cost at tbe Rail way Aae’s estimate for roadway alone of $20,- 000 a mile, gives $36,520,000 as the amount expended in constructing these 1,826 miles in the South, in addition to which was the great cost of equipments, improvements of old roads, etc. The Age very correctly says, and these remarks apply with espe cial force to the South, that “the expend! tm - e for 8,000 miles or more of completed track during the year does not by any means indicate the total outlay in the way of railway building. Avery large amount of grading, tunneling and bridge buildiug has been done during the year for roads upon which no track has been laid. An astonishing Tfumher“of" I'.ffW .enterprises have either been actually under&fkSb- or incorporated, and if the present favorable outlook for business continues it is proba ble that the year 1887 will show even a greater amount of railway building than the year just closing.’’' A MACON MARRIAGE. Tlie Central City the Scene of Much Bril liancy. Macon Telegraph, editorial.] The marriage in tbit city on yesterday of Mrs. Henrietta D. Holt to L. G- C. La mar, Secretary of the Interior is an event upon which the whole of Madon claims the privilege of offering its congratula tions. The bride is one of the city’s cherished daughters ; a matron whose"devotion to domestic duties, to the quiet walks and the quietier charities of life have made her the warm friend of many, and won for her the lasting respect ot all. While her face and form will be missed from the circles that have known her so well, and the ministry of hei gentle hands, it is a pleasure to reflect that she is just such a wife as a statesman should have, and that her home, wherever she may make it, will be a happy one. The groom, Macon also claims. It was here his manhood began and here, in the office of the distinguished Absalom H. Chappel he first armed his talents with the law. M a con has watched with pleas ure his steady rise and felt honored in the high positions fhr whioh he has been chosen. H can yield him no finer com pliment than to entrust to his care a fa vorite daughter, and this is done with the best of wishes for their future happiness. •The morning 'of ‘ their “wedding-day feund nature ready, with Ijer bridal veil.

SAM JONES AND SAM SMALL A Beautiful and Eminently Just Tribute to Our Evangelist*. We most cordially endorse the follow ing beautiful tribute to those faithful servants of God. It is in striking contrast with some of the mean fnd dastardly things which have been written about them. The writer gays “He (Bam Jon eel hates shams and believes in r - alities. THE OKOROIA EVANGELISTS IN TORONTO, CANADA. Hugh Johnson, in Christian Advocate ] Rev. Sim P. Jones preceded Brother Small by a week, and as soon as his co laborer arrived,overflowing meetings were* held in the Metropolitan church, the stateliest church m Methodism —in fact, the cathedral of Methodism, and the abal ing monument of ltev. Dr. Punshon in Canada; and 2,500 to 3,000 met nightly there, and were addressed alternatively by Jones and Small, Four services were thus held daily , one at 10 a. m., another at 2:30 p. m. and two services at 7:30. At the evening services thousands were often turned away. It is impossible to describe the charm and spell of those earnest preachers upon the hearers’ hearts. Sam Small indulges in flights of fancy, roams the fields of lit erature. science, philosophy; indulges in the grace and beauty of dictioq, and some of his sermons were masterpieces of sa cred oratory. His sermons on Deliver ance from Bondage was delivered first in the Rink and then repeated in the Metro politan Church, to between 3,000 and 4,000 people who crowds! every corner, filled the aisles ami vestibules and stairs, and clung to the windows outside ; and the impression of that will never be et faced. Sam Jones' influence is still more mag netic and powerful. He can say with some truth, with Mark Antony. I am no orator, a* Brutus is*, Bui as you know me all, a plain, bluut man. But, O, the power of that free, easy, far reaching, conversational tone, and ever flowing stream ol' strong, racy, pungent, vigorous Saxon speech 1 The depth and genuineness of his earnestness, the shrewdness of his common sense, the epi grammatic thought, the play and sparkle of his wit and humor, his knowledge of the"burnt n heart in all its windings and secret chambers, and his Shakespearean power to delineate character ; the warmth snd humanness of his own heart, his deep experience of divine things, and aptness in making known to others the way of salvation, are among the secrets of his power. His off-hand hits send a rip ple of applause over the long stretch of waves of heads, and his homely illustra tions and jokes are often side-splitting. His humor sometimes runs away from the apron-strings of propriety and taste, and he is charged with flippancy and ir roverance. But those who know him know that all the while he ’S seeking to influence aririit the heart, judgment, and life of his hearers, and when he strikes a pathetic chord how quickly they change from laughter to tears ; all souls are fused in one glowing furnace of feeling, and a great sob goes up from 5,000 hearts. A marvellous piece of humanity is Sam Jones, and the Holy Spirit takes this rare combination of gifts and power and uses them for His own glory. He is a conse crated man. He hates shams and believes in realities, His gospel is no milk-and water stuff —no weak, sentimental “only believe,” “Jesus did it all,” but a robust, ethical gospel—a gospel of morality, of righteousness, truth afid spiritual life. His denunciations of iniquity and of popular sins are the most searching and terrible, and his indictments against dram drinking, theatre-going, card-play ing, dancing and worldly church mem bers will ring in our ears through life. In speaking of the present prosperity of tbe south under the policy of protec tion, the Constitution grows eloquent. It says: •‘We tire glad to bs able to say to the free traders that the time is passed when they can justify their theory by citing the South as the homo of poverty. The goose hangs high. The humblest farmer can look out ot his window and see the signs of prosperity on his land. The great in dustrial development of the past year, al most without a parallel in this country, has Southern brains, Southern energy and Southern capital to back it, and it has just begun. The free traders may once for all, wish tbe South a happy and a prosperoue New Year. That is precisely what it will have unless the tariff cranks are per mitted to upset the calculations of the business world, and there is no likelihood of that.

Epizootic is raging in Athena among the horses. The stret cam have burn stopped on account of it. . The Georgia Medical Society observed its eighty-third anniversary last Tuesday, at Savaunab. This organization has been continually inexistence since 1804. Near Rockmart, the gin house of Mr. J. O. Waddell was fired by an incendiary. There were sixteen bales of cotton in the house, five of which belonged to M:\ Duke aud the balance to renters. There was also about 2000 bushels of cotton seed in the house. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Grave robbers opened a grave at Ros well and lett the corpse unF"' '. They had made a mistake and into sn old grave in place of anew one. At Smyrna they were more successful, and carried off the corpse of a negro boy named Hardeman. The father searched the medioal colleges in Atlanta for the stolen body, but was unable to identify it. At Salt Springs, in Douglas county, on Saturday, occurred a difficulty which may terminate fatally. Monroe Gore, who was under tbe influence i>f whisky, was abus ing Columbus Blair, one sf the jury mb missioners, about the revision of the jn r box. He then turned his attention Tom Blair, a son of Columbus Blair, and began an assault on him, when TJom Blair hit Gore over the head with a stick. It is r umored that Gore is dead. ' A wild cow hemmed a lady up against the fence in Atlanta last week and was on the point of goring her to death when Charles Johnson, a colored man, rushed to her rescue. He seized tho vicious ani mal by the horns when she flung him several feet from the ground, but he held her, and chained her with a heavy chain and dragged and drove her to the station house pen. Johnson is a ginger-cake col ored Hercules. He says that the lady, whose name he did not hear, was fright ened well nigh to death. While at Kingston on Wednesday af ternoon, we saw a carload of Western corn, in bulk and in the ear, being shov eled from the car into country wagons, and we were informed that it wss the third or fourth carload that had been re ceived and hauled off within the last few days. This was a discouraging sight, and we think one not creditable to a section of eountry whose lands, now planted in cot ton, would produce thirty or forty bush els of corn to the acre. If our farmers have to buy )Vestern corn thus early in the winter, we fear that they will have to contract heavy debss for supplies before they gather their crops of 1887.—Rome Courier. “She chawed them that way.” An old negro woman came into Americus from the country a few days ago and offered for sale a pound or two of sweet gum which she had gathered in the woods near her home. It was nicely put up in round balls about the size of a “quid,”, and looked very tempting to those who liked it. A lady had just closed a bargain with tti “old negress for a lot of the stuff, when by some chance she asked her how she had rolled the balls so nicely, and was horrified when the gura vender, with a proud air, replied, ‘Why, missus, I chawed e’m dat way.’ It is needless to add that the trade was Ifistan tty declared “off,’ 1 and the old wqpian, with a surprised and in jured air, moved on. GEORGIA’S NEW VENTURES. A broom factory is to be started at Con yers. Stratton & Brumbaloe have completed their new jug factory at Macon. F. Pence, Rome, will probably start a factory to manufacture toy wagons, etc. Hand & Gammon, Rome, will erect a saw mill and stave factory to cost about SIO,OOO. Marsh & Cos., Salt Springs, have pur chased machinery to erect a wood-work ing factory. Whaley & Holloway, Boston, are re building their saw mill, previously report ed as burned. The Soque Woolen Mill, Soque, G. F. Foreacre, president, will erect a cotton factory to supply their woolen mill with their own warp. H. C. Babcock, Dalton, has organized a $20,000 stock company to rebuild the fur niture factory of the Cherokee Manufac turing Company, previously reported as burned Work is to begin at once. The Etowah Manufacturing Company has been formed at Rome to manufacture furniture, by E. F. McGhee, J. T. Camp, T. F. Smith and others. A factory will be built at once. The capital stock is $50,- 000. NOT TOO PROUD TO WORK. An exchange thinks servant girl’s wages in the North are too high, and ad vocates what has been called lady help. It would have saleswomen and sewing women become bouse girls, dining-room help and nursery maids. There are many nice and refined and intelligent young women who would be glad to get such work to do if only would-be em ployers would help them through the agenies of the first step, if enly ali women would combine to treat the workers with the dignity and respect they should de serve. Who has forgotten in some of the Soulhern cities the sorrow-wounded pride, heart-aches and shame-facedaees with which the pioneer saleswomen step peuinm behind the counters in stores and shops ? The young clerks were ashamed of their work; they dodged their friends as persistently gs their friends dodged them. .Yet to-day so chS"£?d is the opinion regarding sell-helpful women that it is impossible to find in shop or salesroom, desk or factory, any woman worker who is not proud ot being employ ed, full of the importance and dignity of her office. Some day this right sentiment will balance the scales, and no young wo man will be any more ashamed of making bread for a living than she is now of sew ing dresses, selling silk, writing articles, acting on the stage or weaving cotton.— Sunday Telegram.
