THE PRESIDENTS' DEATHS.
How the Heads of the United
States Died.
FROM GEM. WASHINGTON DOWR.
Great Men who Served Their Country in
the Highest Positions and Then pass¬
ed to the Great Beyond.
George Washington.—IIis death
xvas the result of a severe cold, con
traded while riding around his farm
in a rain and sleet storm on Decem¬
ber 10, 1790. The cold increased
and was followed by a chill, which
brought on acute laryngitis. Ilis
death occurred on December 14, 17
DO. He was 68 years old.
John Adams.—He died from old
age, having reached his 91st mile¬
stone. Though active mentally, he
was nearly blind, and unable to hold
a pen steadily enough to write. He
passed away without pain on July 4,
18’26.
Thomas Jefferson.—lie died at
the age of 83, a few hours before
Adams, on July the 4, 1820. His
disease was chromic diarrhoea, super¬
induced. by old age and his physi¬
cians said the too free use of the
waters of White Sulphur Springs.
James Madison.—He, too, died
of old age, and peacefully, on June
28, 1836. Ilis faculties were un¬
dimmed to the last. He was 85.

liis death, which occurred in the
73d year of his age, on July 4,1834,

than enfeebled health.
John Quincy Adams.—He was
stricken with paralysis on February
21,1818, while addressing the Speak¬
er of the House of Representatives,
being at the tune a member xif con
gress. He died in the rotunda of

He suffered from consumption, and
finally dropsy, which made its ap
pearance about six months before his
death.
Martin Van Buren.—He died on
July 24, 1862, from a violent attack
of asthma, followed by catarrhal af¬
fections of the throat and lungs. lie
was 80 years of age.
Willi m Henry Harrison.—The
cause of his death was pleurisy, the
result of a cold which ho caught on
the day of his inauguration. This
was accompanied with severe diar
rboea, which would not yield to
medical treatment. His death oc¬
curred on April 4, 1841, a month af¬
ter his inauguration. He was 68
years of age.
John Tyler.—He died on January
17, 1862, at the age of 72. I have
been unable to ascertain the cause of
his death.
James Iv. Polk.—In the spring of
1849, he was strickened with a slight
attack of cholera while on a boat go¬
ing uj) the Mississippi river. Though
temporarily relieved, he had a relapse
on his return home, and died on .June
15, 1847- aged 54 years.
Zackory Taylor.—He was the
second president to die in office. He
is said to have partaken immoderate¬
ly of ice-water and ice-milk, and
later of a large quantity of cherries.
The result was an attack of cholera
morbus. Another authority attrib¬
utes Ills death ’ > a severe cold.
The former seems the more likely.
He was 66 years old.

The deaths of Grant, Garfield and
Arthur are recent enough to be re¬

An ax to Grind.
It won’t hurt any man to read the
following article from the Austin
Statesman. It is sensible, and as
true as the truest kind of preaching:
“In every community there are
men who cannot be prevailed upon
to take their share of the public
burdens and responsibilities upon
themselves. They can yearly al
ways be convinced that certain work
ought to lie done, and that “we”
ought to do it, but they are content¬
ed to look on and let others do the
work. If everybody belonged to
this class nothing would be done.
There would be no cities, or towns
or villages even. There would be
no railroads, or school bouses, or
churches. But fortunately, in most
communities there are a few men
who are xvilling to work, and push,
and struggle, who give time, and
money, and labor, and set on foot
public enterprises, and turn half
dead country villages into thriving
and prosperous towns and cities.
These men are always at the head
of every scheme that is for the coun¬
try’s good; and while they work
there is always a good number of
»«> do not wot./T who MxiWl ,
around and shrug expressive should¬
ers, and make an unpleasant remark.
“Oh, of course Smith is at the
head of it!” they cry sueeringly,
“He won’t do anything unless he
can lead. He’s ahvays boss of ev¬
erything that comes along.” And
so Smith is vilified for doing a work
that somebody must do, and that
noboy else will do.
Another favorite explanation which
is always ready for an enterprising
citizen is, “he has an ax to grind.”
Let his labors be as disinterested
as they may, this insinuation is al¬
ways ready for him. He may be
working to secuie a railroad or a
factory which will benefit every man
in the community quite as much as
himself, but he will be suspected of
making a grind stone of the enter¬
prise of making the people turn the
stone while he grinds his own indi¬
vidual ax. This is not only unjust,
but it is the veriest bosh. Some¬
body must work, and it is a God
send to any community when it has
men who will work. It would lie
far more sensible iu the people to
encourage the men who will work,
whether they work in the lead or
not. If the gaining of public enter¬
prises is the cause of getting some
man’s ax ground, why turn the
grind stone. Pay less attention to
the motives of the workers, and
he thankful yon are getting the
work done.
The Model Christian.
He is a man who can be trusted
to do right anywhere.
He is a man whose horses and
cows have found out that he has re¬
ligion.
He is a man who does not sit on a
store box and whittle, while bis wife
is carrying water to do a two weeks
washing.
He doesn’t get his back up and
want to leave the church whenever
| J(; jj n ,j s t j,at he can’t have his own
way about everything.
He doesn’t occupy a whole seat in
a railway car, while a woman with - a
Laby in her arms lias to stand up.
lie is a man who ahvays tries to
1 do his best, no matter whether he
thinks he is w atched or not.
When he prays for the aceopiisli
, ment of a good work, that it takes
money to bring about, he is willing
j to put his hand in his pocket and
his part of it.

COTTON SITUATION.
There are papers over the state
advising farmers to hold cotton for
better prices. This we think is er¬
roneous on the part ot the papers.
The crop is large and the receipts
are still larger than they were last
year. The price still goes down and
down and the quotations in the fu¬
ture seems very discouraging, and we
can’t see wherein there can he any
benefit to the farmer to hold his cot
ton and cause the merchant, who has
furnished him goods, to assign be¬
cause the farmer does not bring up
tne cotton so the merchant can pay
off his obligations.
Besides, tho holding back of cot¬
ton paralyses business in the South
**rn g! d with iiiqt/- ' scarce
nn<3 the cotton beftiff hold for a bet
ter price, seems very slim of business
to us.
Upon the cotton subject an ex¬
change truthfully says: “The day
of high priced cotton is a thing of
the past, and the sooner the people
of the south recognize the tact the
sooner will they begin an era
of substantial prosperity never yet
known. With the day of high ju ic¬
ed cotton and single crop farming
will go the credit system and exor¬
bitant rates of interest. To many
the change will doubtless bring hard¬
ship an d self denial, hut it is one of
the blessings in disguise, and comes
as the inevitable result of spending
before earning.”
DON’T ACT HASTILY.
There seems to he a tendency
these days to disregard the law in
many instances and it is becoming
more common every day. It is very
often reported in the papers that
a mob or a set of indignant people
raise themselves up against so and
so, and the law was defied.
It is more common to hear of
lynchings than it used to he. The
people take the law into their own
hands and act rashly while mad,
when if they would only think a mo
ment they would have done differ
entlj'.
Not many days ago we were on a
Georgia train and a telegram came to
have the train stopped and to arrest
a lady, charged with kid-napping a
child in Augusta and was on her
way to Atlanta. J'he officers enter¬
ed the train with a telegranhi'- copy
of the warrant held by the authori¬
ties in Augusta and the passengers
on the train had listened to the lady
and had became so much excited
that they gathered around the ac¬
cused and child and would not
let the .Sheriff arrest the lady. The
lady was very much distressed and
our sympathies were with her in her
trouble but we think it w. wrong
in those passengers to inti ddate
the officers and reftis to let the arrest
be made,
This lady, whether guilty or no*,
should have been detained until the
1 iw settled the matter. She may
have nnoeent of the charge but

Tmc Augusta Chronicle’s Sunday
edition after the dosing of the great

of that great old oily. There arc
few cities iu the South that has a
brighter future than Augusta, and
all Georgia is with her in her suc¬

clares for free silver, tariff reform
and an increase in the circulation.

applications. It requires ft constitutional
remedy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which,
working through Uio blood, eradicates tho
