A wagon without a tap or bolt ora
welded piece of iron, and one that ex
perts say the gear of it will last from
fifty to one hundred years, is indeed a
curiosity in this day, when the average
wear of u wagon is not over six years
and even then with great expense and
goner annoyance of repairs. S: <l* a
wagon has been invented by a Mi.
Hatcher, of Macon, and a stock com
pany is being organized and operations
will be commenced at once for its manu
facture. A committee of Macon gentle
men examined the new invention Mon
day and pronounced it one of the great
est successes of the age.
TiiKitu was a most horrible tragedy
enacted io ir Jackson, Butts county,
last Snndnv night. A man by the name
of McNair was the victim, and this is the
way his wife tells of his murder: “About
ten o'clock at night some unknown per
son enlle 1 out in the public road in front
of M,-Nail ’s house for alight, saying that
bis horse was tangled in the harness and
i was so dark that he could not see how
to untagle him. McNair opened the door
and asked who it was, and the reply was
that it was Jinks. Whereupon McNair
lit a lamp and went out of the house in
the direction of the man. He had only
pi oc ele 1 a few steps from the house
when a shot was fired and McNair fell
dead with Id b .ckshot in the back of his
mvk and shoulders. Mrs. McNair called
to her husband and asked it he was hurt
and th ' | unties commenced firing again,
shooting six or seven times. The last
shooting was with pistols. After the
shooting Mrs. McNair ran out to look
after her husband and found him lying on
his face dead."
Tub widow of General Hancock lias
written a book. As to the execution of
Mrs. Surratt she says: ‘•General Han
cock never understood how he should
be held responsible for that unhappy
execution, as cruel a spectacle as ever
stained the escutcheon of a nation.
I‘resident Johnson was wholly respon
(iblefor it. Not one, but many times,
did ray husband urge upon the President
unanswerable reasons for granting a
pardon, lie would reply that he could
not, that the execution was denied by
many prominent men of his party, and
portion of his cabinet was as uncompro
mising as the other. The question has
many times been asked and remained
unanswered: ‘W hv did General Hancock
consider it necessary to be present at the
execution?’ For the important reason
that Miss Surratt had gone to the Pres
ident at the last moment by his advice to
plead for a pardon for her mother and it
was hoped up to the last moment that a
reprieve would come. This fact necessi
tated his presence at the arsenal to re
ceive it from his couriers, stationed t.t
intervals along the line from the White
House to the arsenal, in order that if the
Pi evident relented and granted a reprieve
not a moment should be lost in reaching
him. To hold Gen. Hancock responsible
for the death of Mrs. Surratt was absurd.
His connection with the affair was purely
military and official, and such personal
interference as it was proper for him to
undertake was all in the direction of a
reprieve. To the court that tried Mrs.
Surratt belongs to the odium and the
President, Secretary of War and Judge
Advocate General may all be criticised
for the part they took in carrying out
the decree of the commission.”

The Morals and ( rime of the ITe cut
Day.
In n recent editorial the Constitution!
touches upon n question that is of the ut
most importance to society—the laxity
of moral training and the tendency to j
crime. We take pl<a-ure in reproducing;
if, because it will serve to bring before '
parents a matter that appeals directly to j
them, and we trust that they will read it :
with interest. It says :
The remarkable inn ease of crime in I
France during the lost half century has
drawn attention to a similar state of af
fairs in this country. It-must lie admit-:
ted, ns tin* Boston Herald puts it, that !
there is a noticeable weakening in th *
controlling force of those moral senti
ments which in the past restrained men
who were tempted to do wrong.
In France the explanationgiven is that
since the revolution the moral education
of the people has lieen neglected. If this
is time of the French, it is in a very large
measure true of the Americans.
Certain siqierfioialists will lie ready to
deny this. They will point to the prog
ress of our religions denominations, and
the increase in the number of our church
es. Unfortunately this does not meet
the cast*. Perhaps the number of reli
gionists is increasing Isvause breeds are
broadening, discipline is growing lux,
and tin* requirements of religion are grow
ing easier. Numerous churches may be
cither a good or a bad sign. The First
Napoleon said that a great number of
churches in proportion to the population
indicated a low state of morals.
The trouble is that too many of our
people grow up without any moral teach
ing. In a tit of enthusiasm or emotional
excitement they join a church, but it is
too late to cure the evils resulting from
their defective moral education. They
profess u kind of theoretical Christianity,
and continue devoted to the world, the
flesh and the devil.
The defective contingent may l,e found
in every church,and it is sometimes largo
enough to be a serious drawback. If tlie
lack of moral training weakens those
who are in the church, it must necessari
ly work a still greater injury to those
who are out of it.
In our old-fashioned state of society
there was something like family govern
ment. Children were taught to shun
temptation, to love the light and abhor
the wrong. But times have changed.
Barents hesitate to give moral lectures
to the precociously sharp boys and girls
of the present day. The young people go
off and flock together, instituting some
thing like a boycott against their elders.
If they fancy bad books, bad pictures
and ways that are dark, they will follow
their bent, and their fathers and moth
ers will know nothing about it until it is
too late. Out of the ranks of these unre
strained youngsters come in each genera
tion the men and women who are to lead
society and control business. Bright,
worldly, impatient of restraint, what win
be expected of them?
I 'util we pay more attention to early
moral training, our percentage of crime
ivill continue to increase. Here is the
weak spot in our civilization. AYe must
remedy the evil at its starting point. The
religion of this age will not keep men
straight when they have never been
t night the value of morality. There is
no use in glossing over these things. Our
civilization is rotten, and the sooner we
realize it and begin the work of genuine
reform, the better it will be for all con
cerned.
The Savannah Morning News.
While in Savannah last week a limb of
the Col!ua nt-Amerk .vn had the pleasure
of going through the handsome building
and well equipped office of the Morning
News, a trip that will always be fomll.v
remembered for the many new ideas gath
ered and the feast of fine material that
abounded on every hand. This office is
about the best equipped in the south, and
affairs are here carried on more syste
matically than any in that section, and
with an air of business that is simply re
freshing. A good printer enjoys a fine
printing office ns fin artist does the finest
studio or the gentle housewife her fine
machine. Thus it can readily be seen
that the country printer, with an eye to
see all that is to be seen, took in every
thing. The courtesies of Mr. Bray, in the
lithographic department, over which he
presides with the ability of a master
workman, were highly appreciated. The
work turned out in this department is
equal to any put out in this country, es
pecially the blank books. Right here we
want to say that the counties of Georgia
that patronize northern institutions in
preference to the Morning News estab
lishment in the purchase of blank books,
simply go back on the best principles of
right and justice. This is a home insti
tion—one that we should feel proud of
and one that all should take an interest
in building up. The Morning News build
ing is the handsomest one in the town,
and they do say that Uncle Johnnie Es
t ill will not walk a street of the town
that is not in full view of his pet, so that
bis fond eyes can feast upon it. He feels
proud, and we say, with all emphasis,
justly so.
Thk amount of railroad building in
the United States this year, has been
nearly equal co that of any other period
in the history of the country. The Rail
road Review says: “The evidence which
was presented one month ago that the
work of railway construction during
1887 is to lx* very large is fully sup
ported by the returns of track-laying
received in April. Our records now show
that from January Ist to May Ist there
have been laid in the United States no
less than 1,504 miles of new main track
on 65 different lines in 20 of the States
and Territories This is an addition of
524 miles during the last month, and
shows a total which has never before
been equalled during the same period,
with tlu* exception ot the first four
months of ISB2, when some 2,-100 miles
of new track were reported. The total
length of new line for that year (1S82)
was ll,r>(>K miles, by far the greatest
mileage laid in any one year. During
the first four months of IHBO our re
porters showed only 600 miles of track
laid, although the total mileage for that
year was about 8,200 miles. There have
already been laid this year about three
and one-third times as much mileage as
was credited tothecorrespondingmouths
of last year, and more than one-half as
much as the new mileage for the entire
ear of 1885.”
Job work neatly, cheaply and promptly

The Necessity of a Dog Law.
Hardly a day passes that on* do< s not
read of a person being bitten by a mad
dog. The continual reports of such leads
Hie Coli{A.xt-Ambrk*a\ to believe that
hydrophobia ii ft araillv on the increase.
The people, justly alarmed, are crying
out for some remedy. Inoculation anil
madstones l ave proven fruitless, and
the only remedy now that can be divid
ed is the wholesale extermination Ol
dogs. A dog law requiring a tax of five
dollars for each dog would doubtless
bring about a whole-ale destruction of
the thousands of worthless curs that in
fest the country. True, it may be hard
work in piloting a dog law through the
average Georgia legislature. The work
heretofore Ims been so hard nothing has
ever been accomplished. The wool men
of Southwest Georgia, for the protection
of their worthy industry, have long
clamored for the passage of such a law,
a law that would give them relief from
theeontinual depredations of their enemy,
vagabond curs.
Go out upon any country road in the
south and visit the hovel of the negro
tenant. Your presence is always an
nounced by countless dogs, the property
of the hard driven tenant, who find it a
hard matte.- to feed his children and j
stock much less his pack of dogs. The
dogs naturally take to the woods destroy
ing sheep, etc. If this tenant was re
quired to pay a tux of five dollars upon
each dog he possessed, a thinning out
would be instantly inaugurated and the
number most likely brought down to a
single one.
The prevalence of so much hydropho
bia is cause enough alone for the enact
ment of such a law. A few days ago a
dog became mad in the western part of
this county and before he could be over
hauled and dispatched had bitten several
hundred dollars worth of stock, all of
which had to be killed to prevent any
further damage from the fatal disease.
The (log was a worthless cur whose
owner would willingly have killed him in
preference to paying a five dollar tux on
him. The necessity of a law is impera
tive and no amount of argument is nec
essary to convince. A dog that is any
account at all is worth paying a tax of
live dollars for.
The Mobile Register in a recent edito
rial on the tariff, gives the following bit
of interesting history:
“Mr. Calhoun in 1 Hi(l was in the zenith
of his intellectual powers. The following
year, 1817, saw him Secretary of War
under President Monroe. He had been a
leader of the House (luring the war of
1812 with Great Britain, and was recog
nized as a leader of Congress. He was
older than Hamilton when that
distinguished financier was Secretary of
tho Treasury and made his great tariff
report which has stood the test of time.
“Mr. Calhoun in the meridian of his in
telloctunl powers went beyond Hamilton
and admitted more than Hamilton ever
dreamed of. Both maintained the policy
of a protective tariff. If there was no ar
gument at that day in favor of the con
stitutionality of such protection it was
simply because nobody ever thought of
denying at that day the right and power
of Congress to impose protective duties.
Washington advised protective duties.
Jefferson and Madison advised such
duties. Monroe may be said to be the
father of the protective tariff of 181(5, n
tariff, it is true, very mild compared to
our present tariff, but still protective
in a large degree and intended to en
courage home manufactures to compete
with those of England.
“These distinguished men of that day
were backed by an almost solid South, as
against the protest and objections of
New England, led by Daniel Webster.
“Foremost among the Southern advo
cates of protective duties at that day
when the feeble States were struggling to
rise from beneath the blows of Great
Britain, was JohnC. Calhoun.
“And now if John C. Calhoun were
alive lie would say that the inhibition
against protective duties in the Confed
erate constitution owned its origin and
rested its logic entirely and solely upon
the institution of slavery, which naturally
made tliesouth an agricultural and cotton
region; that Yancey's scheme ‘to pre
cipitate the cotton States into revolution’
looked exclusively to a policy which con
firmed our exports to cotton and natu
rally sought imports in return: that now,
however, our rivers having practically
ceased to flow and our ports having
dried up, and living as we do under a
system which permits great railroad cor
porations to starve our farmers by sup
plying our commercial points with bread
and meat from distant markets and by
carrying our few products to distant in
land ]mints of consumption, thus de
stroying all local markets—under such
conditions he would hold that the South
is precisely in the attitude experienced
by the whole country in the days of
Monroe.
e want centres of manufacturing in
dustries here at home to consume tin.
products of our farms. The north and
west have secured such markets by the
operation of the protective tariff system,
now the south wants equal protection
until we get abreast of the other sections.
“If Mr. Calhoun were ali\e he would
repeat his tariff speeches of 1816, beeau* e
he was a true friend of the Southern
people and a man not to be betrayed
into a false step for fear of a foolish tra
dition or to preserve a false consistency.”
Catarrh is not a Blood Disease.
No matter what parts it may finally
affect, catarrh always starts in the head,
and belongs to the head. There is no
mystery about the origin of this direful
disease. It begins in a neglected cold.
One of the kind that is “sure to be bet
tor in a few days.” Thousands of vic
tims know how it is by sad experience.

The Seven Cuticura Boys
Those seven beautiful boys owe their beauty of
skin, luxuriance of hairf purity of blood, and
freedom from hereditary taint or humors to the
celebrated CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Thousands of children are born into the world
every day with some eczematous affection, such
as milk crust, scull head, scarf or dandruff, sure
to develop Into an agonizing eczema, the itching,
burning and disfiguration of which make life a
prolonged torture unless properly treated.
A warm bath with Cuticuha Soap, an exquisite
Skin Beuutifier, and a single application of Cuti
cuka, the Great Skin Core, with a little Cuticuha
Resolvent,, the New Blood Purifier, is often
sufficient to arrest the progress of the disease,
and point to a speedy and permanent cure.
Your most valuable Cuticuha Remedies have
done my child so much good that 1 feel like say
ing this for the benefit of those who are troubled
with skin disease. My little girl was troubled
with Eczema, and 1 tried several doctors and
medicines, but did not do her any good until 1
used the Cuticuha Remedies, which speedily
cured her, for which I owe you many thanks and
many nights of rest,

Oar old *it • i 1.1. n i v i is years of ay*, when m
Infant ■-'ix months old. was attacked with a viru
lent, mallgant skin disease. All ordinary reme
dies failing, we called our family physician, who
attempted to cure it; but it spread with almost
incrediale rapidity, until the lower portion of the
little fellow's person, from the middle of his back
down to Ids knees, was one solid rash, ugly, paiu
ful, blotched, and malicious. We ha Ino nm at
night, no peace by day. Finally, we were advised
to try tlie Cuticuha Remedies. The effect was
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a com
plete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow's
person as white and healthy us though ho had
never been attacked. In my opinion, your train
able remedies saved Ids life, and to-day he i a
strong, healthy ehild, perfectly well, no repet it io*
of the disease having ev.tr occurred.
