& CARNESVILLE TRIBUNE ESTABLISHED 1875. OUNG Folks COLUMN Bright Bits of Georgia History Distinguished Msn of Our Commonwealth. UXLrrVL HINTS FOR OUR YOU YOUTH- ICI. READERS. All of Georgia’s great men have been famous men. It maybe urged, population considered, that Georgia liae mothered a larger number of illustrious sons than any other Southern State. Indeed, in ante helium days, Georgia was the cradle of the wisdom and wealth of the Southern land, and the generation was m swadilng clothes at the bombardment of Fort Sumter, hare no reason to be ashamed of the part it Las played in the proud re¬ cord of a quarter of a century ‘'al¬ lowing the civil Rtrife. Should not the heritage of such a glorious past make the Georgian youth of to*day ambitious to contribute to a more lorlous record for the future. If the liistoiy Georgia means anything to the young boys of this day, it must fire their ambition and light the way to places of honor and trust. With this end m view, the following •ketch is given of a man, who, at the age ot forty, a period when most men are just entering upon a career ot greatest usefulness, had receivod, as the reward of indomitable effort and pronounced ability, the highest honor that a great Stato could be¬ stow. There is one f-.ct which we would impress upon the minds of the young, and which is marked in the history of all lives—success de¬ pends more upon unremitting effort extraordinary application than upon natural endowments. 1IKRSCHKL V. JOHNSON was born in Burke county on the 18th of September 1812. Hi gradu¬ ated from the University of Georgia in 1834. He was admitted to the bar in September of 1834, having at¬ tended the law school of Jndge Gould in Augusta, while at the same time ho reviewed the studies of hi9 class in tlio Georgia University. He opened a law office in Augus¬ ta. llis ability and close applica¬ tion to to business soon acquired a lucrative praotice. The attractions of political life were alluring to the brilliant young lawyer, and enter¬ taining democratic principles, no man of his day and years did more distin¬ guished service for his party. Through the press and on the stump his nbiiity was recognized on the side of Democracy. During a period of renowned orators he was spoken of as a “youthful giant, who fought with burnished armor, and was able to compete with tho most stalwart of his Joes. Io .recognition o his WTsiees and ability he was nomtna- ted to fill a vacancy in Congress in 1843, bat was defeated with the whole Democratic ticket. Governor Towns appointed Mr. Johnson to fill the vacancy caused in the U. S. Senate by the resignation of Hon. Walter T. Colquitt. He took his seat on 14th Feb. 1848. His states¬ manship and talent were soon recognized in tbe National Council. He was pronounced by such men as Calhoun, the ablest man of bis age then in the Senato. It must be remembered that Mr. Johnson was only thirty-six years old at the time of his brilliant career in the United States Senate, when he won such proud distinction for hit state and competed so successfully with the most renowned orators of that day. Herschel V. Johnson was elected by the Superior Court of Georgia Judge of the Ocmulgee Distnct in November 1849. During Mr. John¬ son's term on the bench two new party organizations formed in Geor¬ gia—the Union and Southern Rights. Mr. Johnson’s sympathies were with the latter. He believed that the sovereignty of the States entitled them to the right of seces¬ sion. lie favored a Southern Com. grass because he thought it the best mea&a of preferring the coustitu- CARNESVILLE* FRANKLIN COUNTY, 6A.. WEDNESDAY, MARCH. tion and perpetuating the Union. Judge Johnson resigned his seit on the bench to accept the governorship of Georgia in 1853. Many times pre¬ vious to this his name had been prominently before the State Dtm- ocratic Convention as candidate for this high office. Governor Johnson’s inaugural addrees excited wide and favorable comment throughout Georgia and proved that his statesmanship and integrity entitled him to the confi- dence of his people. On the sub- ject of education Governor Johnson said in his inaugurial address: ’ . “Our system assumes that the peo" pie arc capable of aelf -governmont,' each man is a portion of the sever- aignty. and. to the extent of his individual influence, gives direc- tion to all the operations of govern¬ ment. But this assumption is not based upon any inherent capacity for government as an attribute of man. It presupposes intelligence to understand his rights, and vir- tue to give that infcc! iigence proper direction. Hence, public ed tea- tion and morality—enlighteneo in- tellect and cultivated heart—are in- dispensible to the success of our political system. They are the main pillars on which the structure is built; let them be substituted by ignorance and vice, and the fabric will tumble to ruins . “If to this consderation we add the reflection that education is the most potent means for the rapid development of a high civilization the proper end of governme it— how obvious and imperative ir> the obligation to foster its diffusion among the people , with a liberality commensurate with importance of the unnumbered blessings which it proclaims! The cause of public education is emphatically the cause of our State. It addresses itself to every noble feeling of our heart. If, as patriots, we desire the perpetu¬ ity of our free institutions—If as as pliilanthropiots, we would glad¬ den the children of poverty with the sunbeams of science, elevate them to useful citizenship, and press to their lips the cup of intellectual happiness, it pleads with an ur gen¬ cy and pathos that should awaken every generous impulse.” These sentiments, uttered nearly half a century ago, are not yet duly appreciated throughout Georgia. Would You Succeed, Young Man ? Then be honest and sober and you will be punctual, accurate and persevering. Theie is great de¬ mand in the world today for this class of educated young men. There is no demand for the spend¬ thrift, “the hoy around town” who is lolling around waiting for an easy job or something to turn up. Don’t stand with the latter class then, unless you are willing to see other and better boys outstrip you along the journey of life; unless you are willing to look back at the end o{ a )ife> lt througU a 0 f , ears ovcr unspent days and was ^ e< j opportunities, It is better tobe loa(kJ Vltll floTrc „ , Uau l0 stand on the brink of the grave with your arms full of thistles, and only regretful memories to bear you com¬ pany across the shadowy yalley.

A Few Errors Briefly Told. —— “A' more— at noon- -at twilight dioi - Ud Mother of God, be with me still! When tbe hours flew brightly by, And no* a cloud obscured the sky, ft ““k'dld $d."“ thi“‘ & ,hee; No *•, when s;orms uf fate o’re cast, With sweep hopes of thee and thine.” The above beautiful lines show that t,ie P° c ^ c r o u l of Edgar A. Poe, who wa8 not a Catholic, did not ecora the influence of the Madonna in heaven, But, p *y some persons who are ready to malign every creed that they do not n1 **crihe fo, “I don’t believs in prny- n 8 *he Bcsstd Virgin.” Who dojs in it? Certainly not the Cathol- ic church; it prays through the Saints to not to them. “Holy Mother of pray for us,” is the burden of invocation that is wafted from souls to the Virgin Mary. As Christ intercedes w tli tin Lord, doas the Mother of Cm t intercede him. In the fact tbai tie church the intercession of tl e Virgin of the Saviour, at the ^reit tribu- unal, h just cause lor the pro e sions persons make of being scandalized the idea of praying to the Blessed ? Woman has been held as the type of purity, tenderness and com Whether as maid, wife oi moa have given her their lo.' aity, homage and venera¬ sinned, have been merciful her command. We remember Eith er at the throne of Ahrsuerus- decapitation of John the Baptist at ihe command of a sinful womau-and i n time, Josephine, ill-fated Empress the French, with the proudest of Europe’s rulers at her fed stooped to for royal clemency for u: for¬ subjects, and Nipo’em, in the ii>eridian of his glory, listened, and to the entreaties of a beloved woman. History abounds wi f h eviden- c.-s of woman’s compassionate influence i- id merciful ministrations. If we rec- < ionize the weight of womau’a influence 1 -*re on earth, how much more should we trust the tenderness, compassion and influerce of the spotless Virgin who long held the Savior of mankind in her arms and cradled him on her breast. Is it not a beautiful faith which invokes divine clemency through tho chaste Mother of Christ, and thereby, through the highest type of fidelity and purity, pays a tribute to tbs loving loyalty and meicy of ‘God’s last, best gift toman.” Thu Catholic church his ne\ei brought God down on a level with auj of his creations; it recognize t tat he it the source of all gx>d and perfec‘ gifts. AU religions, we think, are entitled to reepect, inasmuch as ther are establish¬ ed in tne confidence of their followers. We would not ridicule the fire wor¬ shiping followers of Zoroaster, the hum¬ ble Mohammedan on the plains oi “Arabia the Blest,” nor the Brahman kneeling before his Juggernaut on the burning sands oi the Ganges and Indus nor any of the numerous religions thai have their conscientious followers. There is good in al; religions—there are saint; outside of the Cnristian chuicU as well .»aiu it. AU religions are entiUed to have the tiU.h known of them, and it is from an c at lit st desire to contribute whatever we can to truth aud justice garding a sect that is iacreasing at a wonderful rate in America, and not from a spirit of creedish intolerance, what follows shall be written. But, suggest^ some one, “.he Catholic) is a church of persecution it has contributed more than any Christian church to bloodshed, and cruelty. The ho-rora ol Spanish Inquisition, the massacre of St Bartholomew, tno reign oi bloody Mary, have no parallel for cruelty in the history of any land. The of the Catholic church have been marked by blood and crime.'’ This arricle is already too long, next we willl endeavor to show that the Catholic church has always abhorred bloodshed and persecution for con¬ science sake, and has been tbe advocate of religous liberty. For the benefit of those who who be¬ lieve that the meanest crimes that darken the pages of history have been committed in the name^of Catholicism, we suggest a careful and impartial re¬ view of the r«ign of Henry VIII, Eng- lmd under Elizabeth, Ireland under Cromwell, and the career of New Eag- lnnd puritans might come in for a share of their attention. i Who Struck Billy Patterson” A FAMOUS MYTH *Viftia*n Patterson's Will AX INTERESTING DOCUMENT (Continued from last week.) 4 Third, the house and lot and va¬ cant ground adjoining, at lllo comer of Hanover and Conway streets, where the said Joseph now resides.

Under such circumstances it would not be reason¬ able just or proper that she should at my death, inherit and participate in an equal proportion with my oth¬ er children in an equal division of ray estate. Considering, however, the weakness of human nature, and that she is still my daughter, it is my will and pleasure to provide for her as follows, viz: I give and devise to my said daughter Betsy, first, the house and lot on the east side of south street wheie she was born, and is now occupied by Mr. Duncan, the bootmaker.

[To be continued] Southern farmers have been cry¬ ing “hard times” and clamoring for government warehouses to bring “relief.” Ho the farmers know the cause of “hard times” if the times are really hard? We suggest a solution and a remedy: The South made eight million bales of cotton last year and no meat and corn; make your farms sustaining and “hard times” will “silently steal away.” An enterprising Georgia editor has discovered that marriages are rapidly decreasing in the State and the reason, “love in a cottage” may be beautiful •nougli as a sentiment, but is decidedly prosaic as a reality, and unless a man is willing to make a cook, seamstress, washerwoman, general drudge, of his wife, he can not afford to marry on $100 a month.

Charged With Poison• in§ His Wife- A Sad Tale of Man’s Perfidy and Woman’s fidelity. Dr. J. M. Glover is behind the bars in Carnesville jail, awaiting to answer to the charge of pois- ening his wife. Dr. Glover deserted his wife in Augusta and came to this coun¬ ty with another woman about six months ago. He and the woman were promptly lodged in jail as soon as the people learned of Dr. Glover’s Augusta wife. Glover was released on the bond of Dr. H. M. Freeman. The woman is still held in jail. Dr. Glover’s wife joined him here a short time ago, they were ap- parentty living together amicably On the evening of the 17th inst. Mrs* Glover died. The day fol¬ lowing the burial of his wife, Dr. Glover came to Carnesville and endeavored so secure the release of the woman in jail, intending to marry her at once. This course, ^ facts together with some connect¬ ed with the death of Mrs. Glover and previous efforts of her husband to get rid of her, led to the suspi- cion that she had been poisoned. Dr. Freeman gave Dr. Glover over to the authorities, he was lodged in jail, Coroner Sorrow impanelled a jury, thdbody was exhumed, a post mortem examination held and the following verdict returned: GEORGIA.

Sister Ellen Dortch of the Carnes- ville Tribune, who is generally right, and always sincere, when she sits down to write, now proposes to give Eastenuallee Alliance a rest 1 mg enough to tell the people that Cathol¬ icism is not so bad a thing as it is painted in our infantile story-hooks. We dare say there are none of us whose intellectual manifest will not bear an occasional overhauling. What we want is the truth in all things—less) ^prejudice and more light—and if Sister Ellen can give us these we will hail her as au evan¬ gel of a wider and clearer mental horizon. There is a great deal to lie learned which is not to be found in the in¬ fantile story books. We can re¬ member reading them. We used to read al»out the Catholics burning Protestants and boring out their eyes with augers, and we thought Catholicism was the religion of wild beasts. And we read, too, about Tom Paine, and we thought he was a hideous monstrosity, and were glad that he had gone to the bad w orld so wc would never meet him. Then after awhile wo read about John Calviu and his followers burn¬ ing Michael Servetus in the name of religion, and the Puritans burning the witches in New England in the name of religious liberty, and then we thought we had missed some¬ thing, and ae concluded that the fault lay in the kind of folks they had in those days, and not in their religous belief", and that they burned each other according to tjieir respec¬ tive ability to burn. And we also learned that Tom Paine was a man like other people; that he was one of the patriots of the Revolution, tho author of the “Rights of Man,” and a friend of Washington; then we thought we had missed something else not found in the story hooks, and began to wish that Tom Paine had been sent to Heaven just for what he did for the freedom of the colonies. So you see none of us know as much as we think wc do, and all are sub¬ ject to i mprovement in the region of the knowledge box. What we want is more light, and it Sister Ellen can give it to us then we say, let ’er roll. —[Jackson Herald.
