ulation about treble the deaths in 1878

a decrease from last year.
Hardly a day passes but what the Sa
vannah papers report the sudden death
of at least one, and often two or more, of

The Toccoa A r ews states that the Air-
Line railroad company have erected at

The Gumming Clarion says that there
is an old Indian legend, remembered by
some of the oldest citizens, to the effect
that there is a vast treasure of gold and

A severe storm passed over the upper
part of Liberty and Bryan counties on
the 17th ult., inflicting considerable dam
age upon fences, growing corn, etc. The
Ilinesville Gazette saj's in some localities
the hail was very heavy, and the destruc
tion immense. The rain which was much
needed, fell in torrents, and some of the
old farmers say that it was “the heaviest
rain they ever saw fall.”
A new r worm has appeared on the
farms in Lowndes county, and is doing
great damage to corn crops. It seems
that when the corn is about tasseling out,
this little green worm, with a black head
bores into the stalk at the ground and
eats out the pith, and the first slight
wind breaks the corn down. The Val
dosta Times says: “Some of our farmers
have already suffered a serious loss, and
if the pest continues there is no telling
the amount of damage that will be done.”
The intention of Messrs. John T. Grant
and C. A. Nutting, sureties for ex-Treas
urer Jack Jones, against whom a verdict
of over $91,000 was recently found in fa
vor of the state, to apply to the legisla
ture for relief, excites considerable sur
prise. It was thought they intended to
fight it out in courts, but it seems they
are anxious to be relieved of their respon
sibilities at one swoop, without trusting
to the delays and uncertainties of the
law. The Macon Telegraph is of the
opinion that the equities of their case is
very clear.
After the case of Eugenia Hornning,
vs. tiie VI. & B. R. It. had been with tiie
jury several hours, it was dismissed on
motion of plaintiff. The Telegraph states
the counsel state that tiie motion for the
dismissal of the suit was made on account
of the discovery of newly discovered evi
dence which it is claimed will establish
the case more clearly. Under the law
the suit, can now be recommenced tit any
time within six months. The case will
l>e entered at the next term of court and
come up at the next spring term.
The remains of the two young girls
burned to death near Jonesboro Sunday
night were carried to Covington for in
terment. Mr. Reynolds is almost a ma
niac. 11 required four men to hold him.
Anew piano made the family unusually
gleeful that night, and the last song was
“In the Sweet Bye and Bye.” The two
girls, one nine and tiie other sixteen,
went to bed up-stairs. Mr. Reynolds,
his wife and two small children slept be
low. The frantic father, unable to ren
der other aid, stood outside and shouted
to his daughter, as she leaned in the
window enveloped in flames, to jump
out. They burned to death before his
eyes.
The following case of pure, unadulter
ated cussed ness is reported by the Cravv
fordville Democrat. It says: “We have
lately had to chronicle several of the
most dastardly acts of malicious mischief
in the whole catalogue of meanness, and
now comes another from the very bot
tom of the whole pack. On last Sunday
night some scoundrel or scoundrels, un
known, entered the cow lot of Mr. J. D.
Evans, not twenty yards from his dwel
ling, aqd cutout the tongue of one of his
cows—a very fine animal, for which no
reasonable price would have been taken.
Who the gqilty parties are, no one
knows, but we hope some accident may
yet reveal them, when it is our opinion a
urv will not he needed to try their case.”
TIIE COOSA RIVER.
The Alabama press convention at their
recent meeting, considered, w ith a great
deal of interest, the proposed opening of
the Coosa river. A preamble and reso
lutions were adopted setting forth that
the stream might readily be made navi
gable by aid of the federal goverment,
and it was resolved as follows: “ Resolved ,
By the Editors and Publishers Associa
tion of Alabama, in annual convention as
sembled, that the opening of the channel
of the Coosa river is a project of such
vast and paramount necessity to the
states of Alabama and Georgia, and to
the general prosperity of the entire
union, that it cannot be regarded with
indifference, and we pledge ourselves
that we v, ill, through the columns of
their respective journals, most earnestly
urge the senators and representatives in
the federal congress from this state and
our sister shite of Georgia, to employ
their united and vigorous efforts to se
cure such ample appropriations for this
important work, as will bring about its
very early completion, in order that
another g-eat public highway may be
come free to the use of mankind and to
the commerce of the world.” It was
also resolved that the resolution lie for
warded to the president of the Georgia
press association with the request that
the attention of the press of this state be
called thereto, with the view' of giving it
as much publicity as possible.
NO FEARS OF YELLOAV FEVER.
Washington, D. C., June 26.—High
medical authority here, including mem
bers of the national board of health, who
have given the matter constant and care
ful attention, and who are fully informed
by medical experts traveling in the south,
are of the opinion that the southern
states are to escape a visitation of the fe
ver this summer. In the early spring
there was a great deal of alarm here
about it—more than got into the papers—
but this feeling has given way to the op
posite extreme, and now the chances are
considered altogether against a renewal
of last year’s visitation.
Had the spring months been fashioned
purposely to bring out the hidden poison
in the south, if there is such to bring out,
they could hardly have been better
adapted to the purpose, as they were es
sentially tropical spring months, hot and
dry, the very atmospheric condition that
brings on the fever in tropical climes
w hen there is any to bring out. This is
regarded as evidence that the disease is
not, any more than it ever has been, do
mesticated in the United States, and that
we are not to have it this summer, or any
other sun mer, unless it is re-introduced
from the ropies; that it can be kept out
of this country entirely by a proper sys
tem of quarantine, such as the national
board of health is putting in force this
year.
C IRISTTAN CH ARITY.
New York, June 22. — 0n Black Fri
day Robt. M. Martin, a .broker doing bus
iness in Wall street, lost $700,000. lie
subsequently retrieved his losses until
his check was good for a halt million.
He was a generous, open-handed man,
and liberal to a fault. It is said that he
now has outstanding in this city $150,000
in loans made by him to friends, and.
that he gave a prominent church $40,000
to assist ii relieving it of debt, and $lO,-
000 more to help build a school in con
nection with the church. Misfortune
again overtook him and he lost all. In
February last he was consigned to Lud
low street jail for a debt of only SBOO.
In vain he appealed to those friends who
were indebted to him to come to his as
sistance. Not one responded. He ap
plied, it is said, on different occasions, to
the pastor of the church to which he had
made his magnificent gift, but received
no response, until in desperation he asked
for enough to buy a postage stamp, and
the minister sent him one dollar. At
length nature gave way. Paralysis of
the brain ensued, and on Friday Dr.
O’Bryen, the physician in charge of the
county jail, took him to the Hudson Riv
er State Hospital for the Insane, at
Poughkeepsie. He is pronounced in
curable. Mr. Martin is fifty years of age,
and his wife is living in Connecticut.
“HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.”
We desire to express our approval of
the course pursued in congress by Hon.
W. 11. Felton, the independent represen
tative of the seventh Georgia district.
In an effort recently made to get a bill
through the house removing the duty on
quinine, Mr. Felton labored earnestly
and untiringly to secure the passage of
the bill, and it is a shame and a disgrace
that he did not receive the support and
influence of every democratic represen
tative in congress. For the sake of hu
manity the bill removing the duty upon
quinine should have been passed by con
gress. To perpetuate and protect a mo
nopoly in an article so essential to
health, is a grievous wrong to the south,
and an insult to American civilization.
Under the protective system, the price
of quinine has advanced from two dol
lai's and fifty cents to six dollars per
ounce, which is the price that quinine is
now r retailing at in the towns of Georgia.
There are nut two manufacturing es
tablishments of any note iu the United
States, and they are protected by the im
position of an enormous tax upon all
quinine imported by other countries.
The outrage has scarcely a parallel.—
Hawkinsville Dispatch.
James C. Flood draws $62,500 from the
national treasury four times a year, that
sum being the quarterly interest on $5,-
000,000 invested in five per cents. It is
said, moreover, that he recently has put
another $5,000,000 in four per cents.
*
I>r. T. Raines, physician to the peni
tentiary camps, has just forwarded to the
governor his report showing that the
condition of the convicts of the state is
very goo 1, that they are in fine health
and are being well taken care of.—
♦ ♦
Messrs. Evarts and Sclutrz were
against and Messrs. Devens and Sher
man in favor of the veto of the supple
mental judicial bill. Messrs. Thompson,
McCrary and Key declined to agonize
themselves about the matter.
The directors of the imperial bank of
Germany have passed a resolution de
claring that an increase of silver coinage
in that country is imperatively necessary.
1 ♦
It is stated that Mr. Hayes was person
ally in favor of signing the judicial bill,
but the stalwarts of his party would not
allow him to do so.
The Boston Herald has made a canvass
of New England sentiment as to 1880,
and finds General Grant the strongest
man.

M ill remain the unflinching exponent of the
free and independent voters and the friends of
political freedom throughout the Seventh Con

principles of Jeffersonian Democracy as the
grand bulwark of American liberty.
THE FREE PRESS
Will earnestly advocate these principles {(the

will for merely partisan purposes, or to advance
the schemes of personal ambition.
THE FREE PRESS
Will be, in a word, what its name imports—an
independent journal—a “sentinel upon the

people of all danger to their rights and the
cause of “law and order,” and to thwart all at
tempts by corruption and intrigue to overthrow
or impair good government.
THE FREE PRESS

With this view we invite information from all
reliable sources in regard thereto.
THE FREE PRESS
Will ever be found to be in the interest of the in

Something for the Masses.
A LOW-PRICED DAILY AT LAST.
So many newspapers have died in Atlanta,
that when The Daily Post was announced, the
general opinion was that in a few montlis it
would go like the rest; but not so. Very soon it
will be one year old.
It was announced as a low-priced paper for
the masses, at only $4 per annum. It has suc
ceeded beyond all expectation, and is to day
greatly improved and still improving. It is just
moving into a large and handsome new office,
and proposes to serve the people better than ever
before. Last year the Post published the pro
ceedings of the'Legislature in full, and reference
is unhesitatingly made to the members of the
Legislature in each county for proof of the asser
tion that the legislative reports in the Post were
the best at the capital.
During the coming session in July tve shall
again have the best and veteran legislative re
porter of the State, Mr. W. G. Whidby, in the
House, and a competent reporter in the Senate.
That the people may have full proceedings of
this important session, we ofl'er to mail the Daily
Post three months for one dollar; or one month,
beginning with the session, for 40 cents only.
