PEABODY INSTITUTES.
Department of Education, Atlan
ta, Ga., July 12th 1883. —To the Teach
ers and County School Commissioners of
the State of Georgia: There will be six
Teachers’ Institutes held in Georgia tiiis
year. The locations will he Albany,
Waycross, Sandersville, Barnesville,
Dalton and Covington. The instructors
will be as follows: At Albany, John
Neely, superintendent of the public
schools of Americus, principal; Profes
sor B. T. llnnteß, of Albany, associate;
at Waycross, W. H. Baker, superintend
ent of the public schools of Savannah,
principal; John’M. Gannon, teacher in
the same schools, associate; at Sanders
ville, B. M. Zettler, superintendent of
the public schools of Macon, principal;
Professor John S. McLaughlin, of Thl
botton, associate; at Barnesville, W, J.
McKern ie, superintendent of public
schools of West Point, principal; Profes
sor S. C. Baldwell, of the Rome Female
college, associate; at Dalton, Rufus W.
Smith, president Dalton Female college,
principal; E. G. Moore, principal Fair
Street school, Atlanta, associate; at Cov
ington, W. B. Bonnell, president Geor
gia Methodist Female college, principal;
11. C. Mitchell, principal Marietta Street
School, Atlanta, associate.
The institutes will all be kept up just
four weeks. The one at Barnesville
will begin on Monday, the sixth of Au
gust; all the others on Wednesday, the
first of the same month.
The subjects of instruction will be
reading, penmanship, geogra
phy and arithmetic. The true idea of
institute instruction is to make the teach
ing of methods the main design. This
idea will be acted upon as far as practi
cable; but instruction in subject matter
will be given when necessary.
The white and colored teachers of the
state are invited to be present. The
races will be taught in separate schools,
but by the same instructors Tuition
will be free to all teachers who may
choose to attend.
I desire the county school commission
ers to meet me for two days’ instruction
at the several institutes. I will be pres
ent for the purpose of giving this in
struction as follows: at Albany, the 2nd
and 3rd of August; at Waycross, the 6th
and7lh; at Barnesville, the 9th and
10th; at Covington, the 13th and 14th;
at Dalton, the lGth and 17ih, and at
Sandersville, the 22nd and 23d. The
commissioners will, of course, choose
such places to attend as may be most con
venient of access. I give it as my opin
ion that the boards have the right to al
low the commissioners their per diem for
two or three days of their attendance, as
greater efficiency in the work of these
officers would thereby be secured, and I
hereby advise the boards to take this ac
tion.
The rates of board will be as follows:
at Albany, for white teachers,, from sls
to S2O per month ; for colored, $2 to $2.50
per week: at Waycross, for white teach
ers, from $3 to $6 per week; for colored,
$lO to sl2 per month: at Sandersville,
white, $12.50 to $lB per month; colored,
from $6 to $8 per month : at Barnesville,
w bite, in private families, from $12,50 to
sls per month; at the hotel, S2O per
month ; colored, $8 per month: at Dal
ton, for white, in private families, sl2 to
sls per month; for colored, $8 to sl2 per
month: at Covington, for white, fioin
$12,50 to sl4for the four weeks; for col
ored, from $G to $lO.
I have made application to the general
passenger agents, as I believe, of all the
railroads in Georgia for reduction of
rates. Many of them have made very
liberal responses. I give below the rates
in all eases where reduction has been
granted:
The Savannah, Florida & Western
railroad will return persons who attend
the institutes free on presenting a certifi
cate from tiie state school commissioner
that they have paid full fare going.
The Central railroad will return
teachers at one cent per mile on present
ation of a certificate from the state
sciiool commissioner identifying them as
teachers, and stating that they passed
over the Central line going, paid full
fair, and were in attendance at the meet
ing mentioned.
The following are the points from
which teachers may obtain tickets at the
above named rates: From Albany or
Savannah, when the meeting is at Alba
ny or Waycross-; from No. 13 when the
meeting is at Sandersville; from Barnes
ville; from Atlanta, when the meeting is
at Dalton; from Atlanta or Augusta
when the meeting is at Covington. The
certiffi'ate will be good three days after
the closing of the institutes.
The Georgia railroad, on application
to the office of the general passenger
agent, in Augusta, “will furnish certif
icates for delegates to the conventions,
which will be signed by the secretaries
of conventions and delegates holding the
sine, and presented to ticket agent, who
will sell them return tickets at one cent
per mile, full, regular fare to be paid go-
ing.”
The East Tennessee, Virginia & Geor
gia railroad grant “a rate of four cents
per mile, round trip, for teachers, or for
persons attending these institutes for the
purpose of intending to be teachers.’
The Western & Atlantic railroad will
return members attending the institute
at Dalton free. The words of the agent
are, “delegates attending the convention
of the Teachers’ Institute, w hich con
venes at Dalton, Ga , on the first day of
August, will be passed free on theiF re
turn upon presentation to the conductor
of a certificate signed by the presiding
officer of the convention, showing that
the holder was a delegate and had been
in attendance on said convention. This
arrangement does not apply to ministers

EX-GOVERNOR C. J. JENKINS.
Colonel C. C. Jones’ Eulogy Before the
General Assembly.
Atlanta Constitution's Report.]
Colonel Jones was greeted with ap
plause as he arose. Ilis masterly effort
occupied abteut one hour anu a half in its
delivery, but throughout held the closest
attention of the general assembly. He
gave a full outline of the life and carper
of Governor Jenkins, and related some
most interesting incidents of the most
trying period Of his life,, which he hud
heard from the great Georgian's own
lips. He was born in Beaufort district,
South Carolina, in 1805, but came to
Georgia when a boy. lie attended sev
eral famous schools, that
51 AD’. Brennan, at
4k county. A valuabje jofj
training was under
when that distinguished
made president of Fra|jilio *
1822 young Jenkins AM®* re
He soon left, however,
course at Union college*, iSJeY t,
where, in 1524, he grad
class. Fifty years afterjstp da he<js:turn
ed to the college to deli \sj; address be
fore the Phi Beta lvappiji vi
which he was a member; vvjUott a student
there. His alma mater had him a
doctor of laws, and he stpod.before a vast
assembly within her gowned with
honor and full of years, tile began the
practice of the law with, *iohn McPher
son Berrien in Savannah,but Ber
rien went to the senate young Jenkins
movetUto Samian titer YAg with its
surrotfnding country, then offered a fine
field for a young lawyer. In 1829 lie
moved to Augusta. Politics then ran
high in Georgia. The Clark and Troup
factions were- bitterly arrayed against
each other. He cast his fortunes with
the Troup party. At the very first elec
tion for members of the legislature in
Richmond county at which lie was eligi
ble, lie was chosen to the lower house.
On the very threshold of his career he
won the respect and confidence of the
people. When quite a young man he
became attorney general of the state, an
office which he filled with marked ability.
He was then defeated twice for the legis
lature in Richmond count}’, his wiiig
politics being contrary to the popular
current there. He was elected to the leg
islature in 1840, but two years later was
defeated because of his support of the al
gerine law. This law was merely an act
creating a board of finance for Richmond
county to be elected by voters only of
property holders. It was passed without
opposition, but soon afterwards was held
up to the masses as a violation of demo
cratic principles. It was given the name
of the algerine law by a man named
Walker, though the name never had an
especial relevancy. In 1840 Mr. Jenkins
was elected speaker of the house, and
was again called to that office in 1543 and
1845. 11# continued in the legislature
until 1850. His high and liberal eharae
ter ms a legislator was set forth. Once,
when all the other whigs withdrew to
leave the democrats without a quorum,
he alone remained in his seat and charac
terized their withdrawal as revolutionary.
He was among the foremost supporters of
the plan to build the State road. In 1850
the question of disunion was warmly dis
cussed in Georgia, and he represented the
Union sentiment. He was the author of
the celebrated Georgia platform of that
year. In 1851 he was urged by many
friends to be a candidate for the United
States senate, but would not do so be
cause his old friend Berrien persisted in
remaining in the race, though he had no
chance for re-election. E. Y. Hill and
Hines Holt, who were in Milledgeville
pressing their claims for the office, went
to Jenkins and ottered to withdraw in
his behalf, but he declined to enter the
race as long as Berrien remained in it.
The next day came a letter from Berrien
withdrawing. Toombs was elected his
successor, but there is a good reason to
believe that Toombs would not have al-
lowed his name to be usal against Jen
kins had the latter not finally declined at
the Hill-Holt conference. In 1850 he
declined the office of secretary of the in
terior tendered him by Fillmore because
of important legal engagements. In
1853 he ran against Hereehel V. John
son for governor, and after a spirited but
dignified canxass was defeated by only a
few votes. He remained a whig until
that party aligned itself with the aboli
tionists. In 1860 he was appointed a
justice of the supreme court in place of
Linton Stephens, resigned, and remained
on the bench during the entire war.
The court had, during that period, to de
cide some very grave questions, and his
services were so conspicuously useful on
it that President Davis refused to ap-

Ateade, his efforts to obtain from the su
preme court of the United states an in
junction against the reconstruction
measures, the partisan rulings of the
court and the arbitrary usurpations of
the military power were all portrayed 1A
the most vivid manner. The speaker re-
lated In glowing terms how Governor
Jenkins, when he saw that all resistance
was useless, saved the treasure andUxOc*
utive seal of the stati, which Mfcywfr
wards thanked OoJ was never polluted
by the hand of the usurper or the upstart
pretender, and which he delivered to
Governor Smith as his first legitimate
successor. Orf motion of Major Cum
mings, the legislature ordered a gold
fac simile of the seal he had saved made
for him, and it was appropriately pre
sented by Governor Smith.
In summing up the character of. Gov
ernor Jenkins, the speaker declared that
he would stand in the history of Georgia
side by side with the great (George M.
Troup. Georgia is fast losing her great
men. In a few months she has been be
reft of Herschel V. Johnson, Benjamin
H. Hill, Alexander 11. Stephens, and yet
the grass is not green above the grave of
(Jharies J. Jenkins, who many Georgians
consider the noblest Roman' Jf them all.
His beautiful character; hf> greatness*as'
an orator, statesman and law’yter, the de

state in the constitutional conYehttonV
spent in dignified repose, were eloquently ,
set forth, and, in donclusiou, the speaker

General Lee the presidency of the road

$50,000 a 3-ear. About this time one ef
the most powerful of the New York life
insurance companies offered General Lee
SIO,OOO a year and a house in Richmond
•to take hold of and build up their south

splendid offers to accept a place as teacher
of southern young men at $3,000. Cap

a splendid estate in West Riding, at
Yorkshire, with a handsome rental equal

now lord lieutenant of Ireland, made the

TOO BAD ON COLQUITT.
Macon Telegraph.]
The Atlanta Journal gives a circum
stantial account of a Sunda3 r -school cele
bration in DeKalb county. There was
preaching and prayer and praise and
prizes and—pie, chicken pie and peach
pie, but there was no Colquitt. During
six years of his administration his sterto
rous declamation and unctuous hymn
singing were heard around every school
house spring in Georgia during the Sun
day-sciiool season. The fattest hindleg
of a broiled chicken and the biggest bis
cuit were his, likewise the jelly cake and
the picnic lemonade. YY'here votes were
to be made there was he also. lie sang
and wept and wept and sang, made the
brethen promise to vindicate the poor
persecuted statesman, made the sisters
sigh at the wickedness of the bad politi
cians and made the hungry little chil
dren shudder when lie struck the lunch
basket, Is he going to jump the game?
This picnic was not far from the scene of
his overthrow- by Bob Barry, when in his
defeat and distress he declared he was
going down to Milton cotint> T to die. But
Bob does not appear upon the programme.
Has the Sunday-school dodge pla}'ed
out? Has good financial and political
fortune caused Colquitt to forget the sim
ple-minded friends, young and old, who
emptied their lunch baskets and filled the
ballot-boxes when his need was great and
sore?
How To Cure Diarrhoea. — The ques
tion is often asked, what is the bsst rem
ed} T for “Diarrhoea? Quite a number of
good remedies could be given, but the
best, speediest and most certain cure of
all, is the “Seven Springs Mass.” I have
known the worst cases cured in a day’s
time. —The difference between the effects
of the “Mass” and other remedies is, no
pain or griping follows! it seems to act
specifically, in allaying the inflamation
of the bowels, I have never knowD it to
fail. This “Mass” is manufactured from
Mineral YVater, by Landrum & Litch
field, Abingdon, Va. Price: $1 per
bottle. Get it and keep it on hand.

U tie heroes fine physical development. ¥s
ifiore observed than evef before since nfe'

wjho shows the elements of physical
,|4>#er is looked up to far more than in
the' da.fs of 6ur ancestors possibly be
cause there are fewer specimens of well
.diveloped manhood than then. An
of thiA paper met a magnifloent
of physical povver a few days
since in the person ©~ D•. Y.W.MeNames,
of Waterloo. His muscles, which show-
ed unusual development, were as hard as
wood. At his request the writer sought
to pinch him in the arms or legs, but
fouTid it wholly impossible- A realiza
tion of what Is mentit b£ an iron man
whs fully made manifest.
“Have you always been so stalwart as
this ?” inquired the news gatherer.
“Not by any means,” was the reply.
“When a young man I was always strong
and active and felt that I could accom
plish anything. This feeling so took
possession of me on one occasion that I
attempted to lift a box which four men
found it impossible to move. I succeed
ed; in placing it on the wagon, but.in two
minutes from that time I was unconsci
ous and remained so for hours and when
1 recovered consciousness I vomited a
■large quantity of bloO.i. From that clay
X began to grow weak and sick y. I
believed that I had suffered some inter
iij • ; i
,Mail irrjury and expeiienced a general de
bility, which seemed similar to the effects
produced by malaria. My back was very
weak. I had no appetite, and at times
loathed food. My lips Werq parched and
crocked. My head fijft as .hough it were
gji iNdy open at the top and it pained me
on thd 'sfllF'inteils<iiy7 fq she* weeds’
lyu e I'lfAd'fai'fe'n ‘away fVotii £O3 pounds
ieSd than fAJ. I was itl a'most wretch
ed eondHioh 1 was CoiWiJletely diseour
‘‘iVliat did the doctors say about
‘ Almdst everyihinj'.‘ I ( consulted no
less than six different physician!. They
.all treatedI*me 1 *me and nope did tnq aity godd.
At that time 1’ was suffering intensely.
I conld not sit upright but was obliged
to rest in a chkmped, uneasy position. I
was Compelled to urinate every five*min
utes and 1 passed over three quarts every
day. I was not living, } was existing.
OUfe night (how weU I remember it)
my wife had put the children all in bed
when the feeling came over me that 1
should live but a very short time. My
wife and I talked matters all over and I
gave the minutest directions as to what
she should do after I was gone. 1 was
not in a flighty condition by any means
for the doctor, on leaving town the day
following, bade me good bye, saying he
never expected to see me again, for I
was suffering with Bright’s disease of
the kidneys in its last stages. Within
the next few days more than twenty
friends came to bid me good bye. Among
the number was Dr. John L. Clark. He
asked me what I had used m the way of
medicines. I told him. He then re
commended a remedy of which 1 had
heard much, but about which I was very
skeptical. If faith were an element ot
power it certainly was lacking in my
case.”
“Atul so you did not try it?”
“On the contrary, I did try it and to
my surprise it seemed to go to just the
spot. Indeed, it was the most palatable
thing I had taken into my mouth for
months. I relished it.”
“And did it cure you?”
“Do I look as if it did ?”
“Yes, indeed. What was it?”
“Warner’s Safe Cure.”
“A proprietary medicine!”
“Of course. What of that! I suppose
I had as good a prejudice against adver
tised medicines as any one could have.
When I was studying medicine at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, I used to vow with the
rest of the class that we would light all
such remedies at all tinges. When a man
comes down to the last hour, however,
and bids his wife and friends good bye,
such bigoted prejudices as these all van
ish, I can assure you and any remedy
that can cure is gladly welcomed.”
“And how have you been since
then?”
“As well—or better, than before.”
“Doyou still exert your strength?”
“Certainly. But do not over-exert,
as formerly. My strength is increasing
everyday, and my health is number one.
I know that my life was saved by War
ner’s Safe Cure, and I believe it is the
best medicine that was ever compounded
by any chemist or physician. lam wil
ling the doctors should sneer at me for
such a statement if they choose, but I
have proven its truth, and am prepared
to stand by it.”
The above experience should be of
great value to all who are suffering. It
shows the deceptive nature of this ter
rible malady: that all symptoms are com
mon to it and that there is but one way
by which it can be absolutely avoided.
The Rev. Dr. Hicks, the spiritual ad
viser of Guiteau, a member of the repub
lican national committee, at one time a
politician in Florida, and now a preacher
in Washington, once in a while expresses
an opinion which attracts attention. In
a sermon last Sunday w eek he said : “The
signs of the times portend a coming
change in the administration of affairs of
government. One result certain to be
accomplished by the American democ
racy when they shall assume control of
the government will be the throttling of
these gigantic monopolies, and this fact
§omewhat reconciles me.”
