THURSDAY, AUGUST 4. 1887.
Parts of Tennessee anti Kentucky
were visited by an earthquake Tuesday
morning. No damage done.
A prominent politician of lowa, says
his state stands thus as to presidential
candidates: The politicians for Blaine,
the yeomanry for Sherman.
Mr. Blaine has announced his pur
pose to remain in Europe until next year.
His rheumatic pains east 1 as the Sherman
boom subsides. Those are accommo
dating rheumatic attacks that Brother
Blaine has.
From the fact that the extension of
the Marietta and North Georgia road
has lwen refused, and an attempt is now
l**ing made to deter loan associates from
loaning money, the legislature simply
shuts its doors against the investment
of northern capital in developing the
vast resources of our grand old state.
The accumulation ol political thunder
for next year's use seems to be the object
of the average legislator just now, while
right and justice are allowed to take
care of themselves.
The State Poses a Monopolist.
The Marietta and North Georgia rail
road is just now the means of interest
ing considerable northern money in the
mountains of North Georgia, and, be
sides, this road is nearly all owned by
northern jieople. An attempt was made
lust week to gain a charter so as to al
low its extension to Atlanta, but strange
to say the legislature refused it, giving
as an excuse that the road would be an
tagonistic to the interests of the State
road. If the state road is to be used
thus in aiding our grand old common
wealth in starring as a monopolist, we
1 iiiuk no lletter reason exists than this,
why it should be placed upon the block
and sold, and at the very earliest possi
ble moment. The State of Georgia can
not afford to pose in such attitude. The
Marietta and North Georgia road passes
through fine of the finest sections in the
world and this direct stab at its useful
ness is to be deplored. It seems that a
considerable amount of crankiness has
developed itself in the matter of the
state road, in fact there is entirely too
much of it. The road has b<*cn the
source of much trouble and scrambling
and its sale would no doubt be the best
tiling after all. The height of ambi
tion is reached these days by the one
horse politicians when they can wedge a
plank or so in their platform in which
the State road is interested. It is an old
plank with all the splinters worn off".
Maj. Hanson’s Speech.
Notwithstanding the exceeding inclem
ency of the weather, quite a fair crowd
came out to the court house, on last Sat
urday, to hear Maj. Hanson, of Macon,
discuss the tariff. The major is a man of
magnificent presence, an eloquent talker
and a clear, forcible reasoner. He soon
engaged (lie dose attention of his audi
ence. He gave a succinct history of the
tariff as it relates to American politics,
how it became a sectional issue; when,
and why the great leaders of the south be
came free-traders, lie explained how
the condition of affairs had changed in
the south, from those that existed when
her public men saw proper to adopt a
policy of free trade, as opposed to that
of protection, lb* reviewed the various
tariff laws that had existed in this coun
try, and the effects of each upon its
growth and prosperity. lie ar
gued that the same policy that had
made the north and east greaj and pros
perous as manufacturing and industrial
sections, would, if properly and wisely
adhered make the south greater. He
said that a great many misapprehended
the results of protection, and that a
proper understanding of the question
was only necessary to remove that mis
apprehension.
The speech was a clear and able pres
entation of the arguments favoring a
tariff for protection judiciously adjusted.
It made a strong impression upon the
minds of those who heard it. Thespeak
er was thoroughly fair in his discussion
of the subject, and at once won the con
fidence of his hearers.
Maj. Hanson made many friends while
here, who will always stand ready to ex
tend to him a hearty welcome to our
midst.
Appointments to Federal Office.
The New York Post, furnishes the fol
lowing interesting facta, concerning the
appointment to, and removal from,
federal office, during the past several ad
ministrations: The number of post
offices June 30th, 1887, was 55,157,
nearly half the places under the govern,
meat. Under the Cleveland administra
tion 9,112 appointments were made in
the first, year, and 0,8(13 in the second
year, upon resignations and expira
tions of commissions. The total for two
years was 1.7,97a, or 31 per cent on the
total number when Cleveland came in,
and about 27 i>er cent, on the present
number. When President Hayes came
In there were 77,317 postoffices, and the
number of appointments made in his
term, on resignations and expirations
of commissions, was 23,273, less than
2,000 of which were on expirations of
com missions. “Examination of the
records shows that under Grant, Hayes
and Arthur the changes in offices, upon
resignations ami expirations of commiss
ions, rose as high as 34 per cent, in the
first two years of anew administration,
and never sunk below 30 per cent.”
In regard to appointments upon re
movals uud susi>eusi< ms, the number of
charges in the first two years of Grant’s
second term were 1,881 out of 33,214
offices, or about 6 per cent.; 1,306 out
of 37,347 offices, or 3 percent., in the
first two years under Hayes, nml 1,726
out of 44,512 offices, or 4 per cent., in
the first two years under Arthur. “Under
Cleveland, appointments upon removals
and siis|*ensions numbered 9,5GG in the
first fiscal year and 2,784 in the second—
a total of 12,170 out of 71,272 offices
or a little over 23 jer cent.”
That is to say, the total appointments
for the two years have been 36,771, and
those under removals and suspensions
12,170 out of 55,157 and four-fifths of
the latter were made the first year.

Owing to the inclemency of the weath
er there was not a very large crowd at
our Sunday school picnic last Saturday,
although the church was full. The exer
cises were opened by Rev. J. W. Edwards,
followed by two of our most noted ora
tors, then a short sjieech by ('apt. J. F.
Morton who delivered prizes to the suc
cessful scholars. The dinner was spread
upon the table prepared for that pur
pose, but before we got through eating
a shower of rain come up and ran the
crowd to the house, where they finished
their dinner. After dinner, the old folks
went home, while the young remained,
some sitting around in buggies, etc., per
haps talking love, while others went to
tlie church uml had a singing. Every
body seemed to enjoy themselves splen
did, except Mr. J. 11. Lumpkin, his girl
was not present, and lie says dinner
alone on such an occasion as that does
not settle well with him. The speeches
were interspersed with music led by Mrs.
Edwards, which was very good. Mr.
Sam Jones, of Uassville, was expected to
make a speech but didn’t come on ac
count of the rain. We cannot help but
admire such occasions on account of the
eatables, etc.
The rains have been very heavy with
us, though not doing much damage as
yet, the prospects for the good crops are
very flattering. Thecorn has grown out

Rain continues to fall.
It has been raining since Friday night,
ceasing oply at short intervals. Even
now while we write, three o'clock Mon
day afternoon, there is a heavy shower
falling.
We have known the people of Hull's
Mills and vicinity all our life, ami have
always considered them a people of ener
gy and great determination of purpose,
and our consideration of them was not
weakened in the least, when we learned
that on last Saturday, the day of their
annual picnic that notwithstanding the
continued rain, the church was nearly
filled with people from the surrounding
country. Several from our community
intended going but was prevented by the
rain. I don’t know whether they were
all as sadly disappointed as our folks or
not, for when dinnertime came Saturday
and the rain continued to fall, several
long faces gathered around the table,
but their appetites had gone ([suppose
to Hall’s), and there was nothing fit to
eat. The cake was too dry, the custard
had too much edge, the biscuit wasn’t
light enough, nor the pickles sour
enough, but it was a very easy matter to
account for it all. Everybody had
soured because they could not get to the
picnic, but the most amusing part of it
all was that one poor fellow after forcing
down a few mouthfuls and finding that
the rain had ceased to fall, gathered his
hat and started off in th>* direction of
Hall’s, hoping, I suppose, that there
would be a few scraps left, we learrsthat
the rain felled him considerably before In
reached Hall’s.
There has been considerable sickness in
the neighborhood and several deaths.
i)n last Saturday morning at four
o’clock Miss Margaret Gilmer died and
was interred in the cemetery at Cassville
Sunday morning. She was over seventy
years old and has been a great sufferer
since the 28th of last July, when she fell
aud has been confined to her bed over
since. I have seen her often since then
and always found her resigned to the
will of her Heavenly Father, whom she
has tried to follow uncomplainingly
through a long life. How sweet when
this world has nothing more to offer us
but pain and suffering, to l** released
from its bonds and be permitted to rest
under the shade of the tree of life, healed
of till earthly imperfections and washed
in the blood of the lamb.

Mr. and Mrs. Jim Wheeler returned to

her mother, Mrs. Goodson, who will

Mrs. George Lemon, of Acworth, paid
several flying visits to Stegall's last
week. We hope she enjoyed them, and
will come again.
Mr. Fred Bayley spent several days in
Atlanta last week. Can you guess what
for ?
Has Dr. Pledger, of Acworth, any pa
tients at or near Stegall? Maybe the Doc

try the healing powers of our water—or
something else not in a fluid state.
The bridge near Col ('. M. Jones’ fell

Our fanners are considerably alarmed

GRASSDALE.
We have had such a rain that every
body and till tilings rejoice. From ap
pearances, it seems to have been general;
we hope so, at least.
We are glad to learn that Mr. and
Mrs. Crenshaw, who have been so sick
for some time at Rowland Springs, have
so far recovered as to be able to be
brought to Mr. Sam Plttard’s, the fath
er of Mrs. C., where, if good nursing and
attention will avail anything, they will
soon recover. We notice also a sister of
Mr. (is with them, from Alabama. We
predict tor Miss Crenshaw a pleasant
time, for both young and old know how
to make a guest have an enjoyable time
and feel perfectly at home.
The rain has considerably interfered

Rev. P. E. Hawkins is at Smyrna,

Miss Hattie Weems, of Rome, is visit

We are always glad to have her with us,
but can hardly realize that she is now a
young lady.
The young folks lmd a watermelon
cutting at Mrs. Weems’ on Tuesday
night, the 20th. Ten as nice watermel
ons as could be found graced the tables,
and when cut, were both a beautiful and
tempting sight. The melons were from
th * patch of the enterprising young
lawyer-farmer, Mack Johnson, of Cass
Station. Now, if Mack takes such cqre
of his farm as his crops go to prove,
some nice young lady should not hesi
tate to trust her future with him. The
guests present were Mr. Sam Jones and
Miss Irene Haynes, from Cassville; Gus
Quillian and Herbert Garwood, Atlanta;
Dr. Claude White and John Banton,
Cartersville; the two Misses Weedon, who
are visiting the family of Maj. Renfroe,
and Miss Alice Renfroe, and Misses Al

ed to have a good time. These social
gatherings are indeed the life of a neigh

Mrs. John Gibbons and family, from
Rome, are at Mr. R. L. Gibbon’s.
I am sorry to say that Mrs. Irick does
not improve as fast as her many friends
would wish.
Dr. Battle, as a delegate from this cir
cuit, attended the district conference at
Dalton. After living so high and step

LATEST FROM AUGUSTA.
The Loss Kstimuted at a Million Dollars—
The River Falling.
Augusta, August 1. —The people of
Augusta awoke this morning to find the
river receding rapidly, and there was
rejoicing. At 3 o’clock it had fallen a
foot from the highest point 35 feet, and
at 11 o’clock to-night it had fallen to
30 feet and five inches. Broad street is
now above water, but all the portion
above Uuminiug and north of Broad is
still inundated to a considerably depth.
Greene street above Campbell is yet
flooded, and water still extends through
Dublin and over the south commons.
Water is now swiftly flowing through
the break in the canal at the hpad of
Green street, but no damage other than
the washing up of a few houses and fen
ces, and the undermining of mrny others
has yet been developed. The break at
Lombard's founnry was the most serious,
washing away one corner of the build
ing and carrying off many valuable
patterns, etc. The water in that neigh
borhood, is still quite deep and is yet
over tha floor of many houses. All man
lier of household goods from different
houses may be seen floating around in
heaps. Streets from which the water
has subsided are found to be in a fearful
condition, great holes being washed in
then. Hundreds of sewers burst and
trash of all kinds is piled in heaps. Most
of them are impassable, and it will take
thousands of collars and months of la
bor to again put them in proper condi
tion. Tlie loss to the city will be great, I
exceeding a mil ion dollars, and it will
tak * many mouths before houses, yards !
and streets arc again as of old/ The
portion of the city which suffered most
is among the residences of the poorer
classes, who will suffer much, but the
citizens art* already subscribing liberally,
and the council tins afternoon appro
priated f 1,000 for that purpose, which
will at least temporally relieve the suffer
ers. Ina day or two, when all the rail
roads again commence running on sched
ule time, the city will regain its activity.
The present legislature is grappling
with a number of huge questions. There
is one consolation to the people of Geor
gia in the thought that they have never
had a general assembly more capable of
treating them wisely and safely than the
present one.

Remarkable Preservation of a Dead Body.
Special Correspondent to the Globe-Democrat.]
New York, July 29. —The neighbor
hood and little village of Comae, near
this city, on Long Island, has been con
siderably excited of late over au intanee
of remarkable preservation of the human
body after death. On a farm near tlie
village there is an old family burying
ground, in which there are only four
graves. No one has been buried in it for
more than fifty years, and until recently
the farm remained in the hands of the
descendants of the persons there interred.
As the farm has recently passed out of
the possession of the family", they deter
iued to remove the bodies from the little
out-of-the-way plot and re-inter them in
the village cemetery. Three of the graves
were opened without any unusual dis
coveries, but the fourth, which was the
grave of a young man, aged 28, who had
died from an accident while dead-drunk,
some fifty years ago, was found to be
still tenanted by a complete human form.
The coffin, like the coffins of the other
three bodies, was badly decayed, and
when exposed to the air and sunlight
quickly went to pieces. The clothing on
the body, which had been his best .Sun
day" suit apparently, was in much better
condition; it held together, doubtless,
because there was no decomposing of the
body to rot it. The county people im
mediately thought that the body was
petrified, which, of course, it was not, as
no human or other flesh ever can become
turned to stone, although stone may so
take its place as to deceive the unscien
tific. The following description of the
body was given the Globe-Democrat
correspondent by a physician who hap
pened to be in the neighborhood at the
time.
“The body, that of a tall man, was
perfect in every part. The skin was of
tin ashy, or putty-like, color. The eyes,
hazel, were so well preserved that their
color was quite easily recognized, al
though the whites of them had turned
yellowish in hue, and the aperture of the
pupil had become opaque. The eyebrows
had grown exceedingly bushy"; the beard
was 18 inches or more iu length, and of
a tawny, dirty color. The hair on the
head, and in different parts of the body,
had also grown, and seemed still to be
growing. The finger and toe-nails were
nearly" 1 inch long. The facestill had the
bloated expression of a drunken man.
On closely examining the body it was
found to have been changed to that
peculiar substance known scientifically
as adipocere (adeps, hit; cera, wax-like),
which has somewhat the consistency of
soap, but far less density, and is the re
sult of tin alkali forming a. chemical com
pound, with margaric and oleic acids.
Probably all bodies supposed to be pet
rified are of this same formation, al
though it may be possible for fossiliza
tion to take place in some cases. There
seems no definite rule as to its formation,
as bodies buried in damp or dry graves,
and even when completely immersed in
water, have been found in the same con
dition.”
The body lias been reiuterred in the
cemetery". Perhaps the alcohol helped to
preserve it.

fering humanity and 1 unhesitatingly
endorse it in each and every particular.

has sold four dozen Curry’s Diarrluea

and guaranteed every bottle and none
has been returned. “It gives perfect sat

dozen more of the Specific.
Mr. D. IV. Curry. Cartersville, Ga.
Dear Sir—l have used your Diarrhoea

me to reccommed it to others. One
special case came under my observation
which I consider remarkable: An old
man purchased a bottle from me and
with a single bottle cured six members
of his family who were suffering from
Diarrhoea and Dysentery. I could men
tion numerous other cases. Please send
me another dozen at once as I am entirely
out and have six or seven bottles already
engaged. It is truly a wonderful remedy.
Yours truly. W. Pittaril

Bowel troubles come on suddenly, and
no one should be without a remedy in
the house. In the early stages Curry’s
Diarrhoea and Dysentery S|eeifie gives
almost immediate relief, while if neglected
complications of a fatal nature soon arise.
