GEORGIA AND GEORGIANS FIFTY
YEARS AGO .
Colonel Johnston, of Pen Lucy Insti
tute, near Baltimore, gave us a lecture at
our opera house a few weeks ago. He
was introduced by Major Smith (“Bill
Arp”) in the most happy style; indeed,
the introduction was one of the most in
imitable efforts of his life, full of thought
and clothed in words of the spiciest hu
mor. Colonel Johnston’s subject was
“Life in Georgia Fifty Years Ago.” The
older persons in his audience enjoyed the
lecture more than the younger ones on
account of the subject. “Bill Arp,” in
his weekly contribution to the Atlanta
Constitution, of last Sunday, warmly ad
▼O ated a written history of the old men
and the times of those days, it was the
best thing “Bill Arp” has yet written for
the Constitution. It was a touching
tribute to our fathers that all true native
Georgians must appreciate. It is a sub
ject that lingers upon our own mind with
great interest. We should like to see a
history of Georgia and her noble sons
and daughters of titty years ago trans
mitted to our posterity in all the ampli
tude of the fullest description of the cus
toms and manners of those days. Who
can and who will and who is able to give
that history with all the lustre oi the
magnificent honesty, integrity and hos
pitality of those vood old men and wo
men, whose mens* iy every filial son and
daughter of Georgia so much revere?
The men and women who lived hon
estly and figured < onspiruouslv in Geor
gia titty years ago have nearly all passed
beyond the river that separates this from
the unknown existence; but they have
left a heritage of glorious manhood
and womanhood that ought to be em
balmed, as it were, in sacred history, for
transmission to their posterity as exam
ples of that which made this old com
monwealth the grandest of “the original
thirieen,” the maiden queen that swayed
her sceptre in behalf of American inde
pendence anti of civil liberty upon the
western hemisphere.
What a great subject for the faithful
historian to discuss for future genera
tional Nowhere in the world did the
God of Nature implant In the heart of
man nobler manhood and a truer wo
manhood! The inborn chivalry of the
people of Georgia fifty years ago ought to
bft transmitted to the latest generation in
lettetft of gold! Few' of them are left.
The tombstone tells where nearly all of
them sleep! But few live to tell the story
froui personal knowledge of those grand
old day; who can remember in the im
aginftry events of the past the stately
grandeur of the men and women then
conspicuous in life! Of Georgia’s pub
lic men of those times we call to mind
in thii hurried writing the names of M.
A. Cooper, Robert Toombs, David Irwin,
John P. King and William Ezzard, who
yet remain with us as the tottering tow
er* (physically speaking) of Georgia’s in
tellectual power of fifty years ago.
None the less could the faithful histo
rian address himself to the magnificent
examples of a noble manhood and the
sweetest womanhood in the humbler
walks of life. He could step down with
love and affection to the old slaves, and
among them gather some of the most be
loved memories enshrined in the sacred
vases of the civilization of those days,
and there find the loveliest examples oi
devotion between the lord of the manor
and the slave in hit cabin.
Who can write such a history and will
doit faithfully? Whose pen is capable
of transmitting, truthfully, and in glow
ing pictures, the life and times of the
good old people of Georgia fifty years
ago? Who can tell the simple story of
the fidelity existing then between the
lord and servant, the mistress and the
maid? It is a subject full of pathos,
grand in all that makes history a glowing
story of actual life, showing all the
brighter beeaus* of the honesty, the in
tegrity, the grandeur and the chivalry of
our fathers and liie sublime virtue of our
mothers!
SORR Y y£ WSPA PERB.
The Athens Banner - Watchman , of re
cent date, make* the following dig at
some of the so-called newspapers of tl is
state:
“A great many of the weekly pa pern that come
to this office are a disgrace to the county in
which they are published. The State Press Asm
ciatiou should grade its membership and not re
ceive these wretched little journalistic abortions
into their ranks, as they are a leflectiou upon the
fourth estate. Such sliects should uot be recog
nized as newspapers.”
There is too much truth in what the
Banner says on this subject. Many of
these papers, with patent outsides, are ab
solutely worthless. The editors have,
upon an average, about four to six col
umns of reading matter to fill, and much
of that space is wasted in what printers
call “fat,” and badly punctuated and
without any regard to grammar or the
quality of it.
The truth is, thare are too many pa
pers in Georgia. If there were fewer
the people would have better papers and
would support better. What is
needed are more.experienced, practical
printers of intelligence to control the
press of Georgia. We are sorry to say
this is so, hut it is true notwithstanding.
The greatest ambition of ihc amateur
statesman of the Georgia legislature is to
dally and toy with the Code of laws
of the state. Their epitaphs should be,
“I was a lively codifier of the Code.”
The last new< from Atlanta is to the
•Sect that the local temperance bill is still
in a sweat, and that Sweat, of Clinch,
Is mopping his face with a red bandanna.
The people are getting tired of the
foolishness of the present legislature.
is too expensive. I
** MECIIASIC ” AND PROHIBITION.
We are glad that “Mechanic” has con
cluded to close the prohibition discussion
with us. That he did refer to the editor
of The Free Press, none fail to see, and
as a “querulous fellow” and “always in
a row,” none, with ordinal y intelligence,
can fail to understand. That reference
was made insultingly, and we repelled
it, perhaps, with too much fire, our read
ers likewise know ; but we did so for the
reason that we felt he had gone back over
a third of a century to make his charges
of teing a “querulous fellow” and “al
ways in a row.” This w’as a false allu
sion to us that can be proven by those
who then knew us, even now living in
Bartow county.
“Mechanic” may be a clever man, but
he did go out of his way to attack us in
order that he might bolster up his cant
ing fanaticism on the temperance ques
tion, which subject is now stirring
up strife among neighbors and friends to
no good purpose, and which can do no
good. We are the last to fight any legit
imate mode of promoting the cause of
temperance by moral suasion trotn the
pulpit by the clergy and laity. We op
pose legislation on the subject of temper
ance because we do not believe that such
legislation is in accordance with the fun
damental principles of free government
as established by the fathers of this great
republic.
No. no we believe that any state legis
lation has the right to interdict any busi
ness or commercial pursuit recognized as
lawful by the federal constitution and
laws. And, further, we do not believe
that any class ot American citizens has
the right to control the eat and drink ot
another class. Success on such a line
would soon rob the people of all personal
rights and inaugurate desolation.
If “Mechanic” does not wish to in
dulge in the use of spirituous liquors, no
body will drench him with them; if oth
ers do, and many of the best men do so
indulge, we do not think “Mechanic” or
any other man, or any set ot men, have
the right to deprive others from indulg
ing their own tastes and desires. The
habit of so indulging has its evils, often
deplorable in their results; but “Mechan
ic” and his co-laborers for prohibition in
Bartow can never stop it, but will aggra
vate it by sending the jug and demijohn
to hundreds of households where they
were never seen before.
There will be no prohibition in Bar
tow. Our citizens are a free people and
opposed to the wild and canting fanati
cism of the movement now being at
tempted to be enforced upon them.
COLONEL JACK BROWN RAMPANT.
Colonel Jack Brown, the attorney of
the republican party at Washington, got
into a muss with the postmaster-general
the other day. Eleven years ago the
colonel wks a violent straight-out demo
crat and wouldn’t yote for Greeley. In
that he was right. The slackest wad of a
democrat ought to have rebelled against
such democratic stultification of the party
in the nomination of the head-cqptre of
the republican party.
But Colonel Brown and ourself were
taking our ox-tail soup at the Kimball
house at the time Governor Smith was
nominated, and having a good time —the
colonel bourbon straight and no other
kind of “sperits.” He has quit democ
racy and gone over to the republican
party “horse, foot and dragoon.” We
still cling to our democracy like “death
to a sick nigger,” though we are opposed
to the methods and practises of the
“bosses” of the party. The “ground
hog” did it all for the colonel.
Eason, of Telfair, in speaking on the
local option bill in the house, on Tues
day, said “the petition of 00,000 Chris
tian people of Georgia demand a reform
in this crying evil of the day.” We
don’t know whether Eason is a Jew or
Gentile. Neither Christianity or heath
enism govern this country, so far as the
fundamental principals of this govern
ment provide. The federal and state
constitutions do not establish the author
ity of any sort of belief as to religion.
It leaves every man to vote as he pleas
es, and all public and political Questions
a e left by it to be decided at the ballot
box at the popular will without regard
to Christianity, Judaism or Mahomedan
ism, who may “worship under their own
vine and fig tree. Therefore, we say to
Eason that this is a free countiy and that
this is a republican government. And,
therefore, we state to him that bis ap
peal on such a point is simply a piece of
demegoguery. Pious people do not
vote stronger than any other kind of citi
zens.
We learn from the Macon Telegraph
(we don’t learn it from the Constitution)
that Julian, of Forsyth, wiio had paired
with an absent member on the local op
tion bill, violated his moral obligation by
voting for that fanatical measure, which
vote alone caused the passage of the bill
in the house. Mark Johnston, of Bald
win, had the manhood and courage to
state in his place, substantially, that Ju
lian was a reprobate in so doing. Let
Julian go down to history as being guilty
of the most infamous moral terpltuue. If
the friends of the bill in the house can
accept such a victory, then let them
share the dishonor of Julian.
The constitutional provisions limiting
the sessions and days of the Georgia legis
lature is simply a humbug. Instead of
biennial sessions of forty days,the sessions
are semi-annual and for any number of
days desired by the members who draw
with eagerness their four dollars per diem •
One hundred thousand dollars semi-an
nually is for the tax-payers to pay for
the miserable legislation the/ get. There
Is too much local legislation, and the tem
perance question is costing the state too
much money. Great God! when will
Georgia get rid of mediocre statesmen and
anatieism ?
Sweat, of Clinch, is still sweating on
temperance legislation. We think he
would benefit Georgia more by undergo
ing a continuous sweat lor the next sixty
days on Bourbon whiskey or corn juice.
1 here are men more useful to the publtc
u eal when they are the least capable of
doing either harm or good.
In the house, on Tuesday, Brother
Sweat, of Clinch, in discussing the bill to
prohibit the evils of intemperance, is re
ported by the Constitution as having
“brought a strong array of facts to prove
how widespread are the evils of whisky
drinking.” It may be possible that
Brother Sweat can clinch the argument
on that subject from personal experience.
It sometimes requires a great deal of
sweat to clinch a bolt or a nail. Brother
Sweat, between a cocktail and prohibi
tion, has, perhaps, perspired very freely.
It is said there are a number of our
legislators In Georgia who secured their
election on a pledge of temperance legis
lation now trying to dodge the question,
being unable to resist the exhilerating in
fluences of the nearest corner grocery.
Of course, their pledges and desires great
ly embarrass them in the discharge of
their public duties. This sort of states
manship is greatly in the way of good
legislation. These pigmies should be
mashed.
We regret to learn that Messrs. Eaves
and McGinty have lost heavily, proba
bly $12,000 to $15,000 in the erection of
the new building for the colored insane
near Milledgeville. Their bid was low,
and from the beginning they were urged
to push the work, and were not allowed
to take advantage of long lays and good
weather. If this be true, and we do not
doubt, the state of Georgia should not
hesitate to make their losses good.
There is nothing more uncertain than
i Georgia legislature in these days. In
the olden times, when all the old legisla
tors of the state stirred their toddy with
a stick, legislation was pure and lor the
general good of the people aud no class
legislation was tolerated. Oh, for the
good old times of the past when we
did’nt have a Code for the fledgling
statesman to tinker with !
We think Georgia should devote her
means to the support of the state univen
ity. These b-anch concerns are sapping
the life of the grand old institution. But,
then, you see, every little statesman
wants a big school near his hog pen.
How much good will a school of tech
nology do the state of Georgia? We
hope it will not be run at the expense of
the tax-payers of the state.
Mr. Zeb Vance, son of Senator Vance,
was badly cut with a knife in the hands
of a young man, in Ashville, at 2 o’clock
last Friday morning. The affair was tlie
termination of a quarrel that grew up be
tween the two over a game of pool. The
news of the difficulty came to the city
second-handed, and if not exaggerated,
as no doubt it is, it is a very seiious mat
ter. Mr. Vance is reported to have re
ceived eight outs, two of which are on
his throat, and his wounds are said to be
dangerous. The wires along the Western
North Carolina road are all down, and it
was impossible to communicate with
Ashville even through the railroad of
fices.” This is the Ashville Citizen's re
port of the affair: “Thursday night Zeb
Vance, Jr., and Zeb Cromwell, got into
a difficulty in the billiard room under the
Eagle hotel. A few moments thereafter,
both having left the saloon, while in
front of Whitlock’s store, Zeb Cromwell
assaulted Vance, cutting him seriously in
the neck, just missing the jugular vein,
also in the shoulder and back. The
wounds, while serious, are not thought
by Dr. Hilliard, who attended him, to be
dangerous. In the examination before
’Squire Summey, Cromwell waived an
examination, and was admitted to bail to
appear before the interior court in the
sum of SSOO.
A band of genuinely savage Apaches
was shown at the recent SantaFe fair. It
was a hard matter to get them to go there.
They had never seen but few white faces
except behind a raised musket. When
the wagons were ready <o start several of
the foremost braves, who had been al
most persuaded to make the trip, refused
to go along. The sight of a railroad train
awed the Indians into exclamations of
“De sa-ra-ta-ra” (wonderful), many
times repeated with whispered breath.
These barrel-breasted follows, who
would face a bear empty-handed, were
afraid to step into the cars, and the
squaws cringed behind their trembling
lords. At last they suffered themselves
to be led falteringly aboard, and, as the
train moved oft', they covered themselves
with their blankets and dropped panic
stricken between the seats.
A probably malicious person at a wa
tering place says one lady’s shape re
minds him of a certain bottle of hitters.
“Why? Because her father’s fortune
came from the manufacture of a constitu
eit ot cocktails. Over yonder, in dainty
mull, is the wife of a face powder; going
down the hallway are the two daughters
of a cough syrup, and the swell who
drove past a few minutes ago in a dog
cart tandem was a son of a pill.”

For the manufacturer who has met
with the hearty co-operation of all the
people of CartersvUle. Why wonder ye,
that so many enterprises have failed to
succeed here then ? What can the fu
ture of Cartersville ever be with such
cold indifference towards and downright
opposition to the only successful mode of
building up a town ? R. H. Jones.

OhJyßack!
That's a common expres
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver com
plaint, consumption, cold,
rheumatism,dyspepsia,over
work, nervous debility, &c.
y
Whatever the cause, don’t
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Brown’s Iron Bitters, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and mak
ing the blood pure and rich.
Logansport, Ind. Dec. 1880.
For a long time I have been a
sufferer from stomach and kidney
disease. My appetite was very poor
and the very small amount I aia eat
disagreed with me. I was annoyed
very much from non-retention of
urine. I tried many remedies with
no success, until I used Brown's
Iron Bitters. Since I used that my
stomach does not bother me any.
My appetite is simply immense. My
kidney trouble is no more, and my
general health is such, that 1 feel
like anew man. After the use of
Brown's Iron Bitters for one month,
I have gained twenty pounds in
weight. O. B. Sakgkkt.
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recom
mend Brown’s Iron Bit
ters. It has cured others
suffering as you are, and it
will cure you.
