ROBERT S. HOWARD, Editor.
JEFFERSON,
I'ltlOAV fIORAIAG. April 1, 18*1.
Gen. Grant propose to visit Mexico in a
few weeks.
Texas takes liquor in “hern.” She lias
decided against prohibition.
Mr. Garfield’s health lias commenced fail
ing, owing to the severe strain put upon his
energies by the importunate office seeker.
The Baptist Banner will resume publica
tion on the 6th day of this month. It has
been moved to Gainesville, and will be en
larged.
The Gwinnett Herald has completed its
tenth volume, and is justly exulting over
the fact. Success to you, Brn. Peeples. May
you and the Herald both live to complete
several scores of volumes.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnson has been spend
ing the week in Atlanta. During his stay be
was interviewed by a Post-Appeal reporter
'with but little satisfaction. In fact, the Gen
eral was non committal, and did not pump
worth a cent.
The Attorney General has decided that
the bonds of the tardy Tax Collectors and
Receivers will be good, provided the bonds
men agree to take no exceptions to them.
This settles a question that was likely to pro
duce confusion.
The failure of the Rome bank will no doubt
•suggest to our July legislators a change in
the present law making certain banks State
depositories. The matter should be arranged
so that the State could lose nothing, even if
•the bank holding the funds did go up.
It is said that the young man General Lee’s
•daughter was engaged to was hung as a spy
by Garfield during his Tennessee campaign.
— Exchange. That let’s us out. We were
laboring under the impression that she was
Koo young to have beaux during those trying
times.
A French colony will probably be located
on the Air Line Railroad before long. They
propose starting a large vineyard. The Air-
Line authorities are certainly the most far
seeing in their policy of any corporation. We
would l ; ke for an} body in their territory to
charge them with being grasping monpolists.
It is announced that Gov. Colquitt will be
in the race for United States Senator two
years hence. Alf has already cleaned up one
Ex United States Senator, and thinks there
will be but little trouble in straddling the
carcass of another one. But we can assure
Mr. Colquitt that there will be no cancer on
Ben Hill’s tongue when the tus9el comes off.
Somebody has suggested the idea that
Blaine will involve this Government in a for
eign war in 1883 in order to secure the re
election of Garfield. If Mr. Blaine knows
the tenor of the American people, he will try
most any other policy before be tries a for
eign war. If we know the American people,
that is al out the la9t thing at which they
want to try their hand.
The Bank of Rome, a bank doing business
in Rome, Ga., failed last Saturday. It wa9
a State bank, aud also one of the State de
positories, having on hand $53,868.33 of the
State’s money. It is claimed, however, that
the State will lose nothing, as it is protected
t>y a bond that is perfectly solvent. The
cause of the failure is attributed to heavy ad
vances made on cotton shipments to New
York and refusal of the New York bank to
make the necessary advances.
Mr. Garfield has decided that it will not
redound to the benefit of his party to call an
extra session of Congress, so he has conclud
ed not to do so. He prefers to brave the
Greenbackers rather than to displease the
National Banks by adopting a three percent,
funding bill. No doubt but what the Nation
al Banks have promised to furnish him with
the necessary funds to run his next campaign,
and thusly buy up the disgruntled Green
backers of Ohio and Indiana.
Miss Belle Price, daughter of lion. W. P.
Price, takes editorial charge of the Duh
ji lmega Signal. We welcome her to the ranks
of the high calling of tire fourth estate, trust
ing that her connection with it may ba both
pleasant and profitable. There is nothing
which will more ennoble the profession and
elevate it for good than woman's sweet and
ennobling influence.”—- Camming Clarion.
From henceforth we propose to exchange with
Railroad News.
The Directors of the Gainesville & Jeffer
son railroad met in Gainesville last Tuesday
| night and' transacted some very important
I business and made some arrangements to
j keep things moving. They have ordered one
locomotive, ever so many coaches and box
cars, and the iron to lay the entire track.
They have also instructed the President to
push the grading ahead as fast as possible.
If this don't look like business, then we want
to know what kind of evidence you want.
You would not be convinced by miracles, if
this won’t do the work.
There are but two things now that can
possibly retard the work —scarcity of labor
ers and the backwardness of some of our
stockholders at this end of the line, and the
general mistrust most of them exhibit. The
first difficulty is a hard one to contend with,
but is by no means dangerous to the enter
prise. The latter is a reproach to the sensible
and thinking men of Jackson county.
We have been trying all along to show, or
rather to convince, the doubting ones that
this railroad could be built, and that it is not
hy any means such a terrible undertaking.
At present the matter is in such a shape that
success is certain, if all concerned stick up
to their respective parts of the bargain. The
only element of doubt in the work is at our
end of the line; the only trouble is with the
stockholders of Jackson county, and that
they won’t pay up their installments. There
is where the shoe pinches the enterprise, and
you need not go away from home to find it.
We reiterate the following facts, so that
you may not forget them any more : There is
enough money subscribed, by good parties,
to grade the road from Jefferson to Gaines
ville and put down the cross ties. Over half
of this money, to wit: the Gainesville sub
scription, is cash in hand. Whenever the road
is graded and the cross ties are ready the
Atlanta & Charlotte railroad will endorse
the bonds of our road, so that we can get the
iron and necessary rolling stock. All we
have stated above are solid facts. Now please
tell us where the weak point is, and remem
ber that it takes three things to make, a suc
cess of the enterprise, to-wit: The Gaines
ville subscription, the Jefferson subscription,
and the agreement of the Air-Line. The Air-
Line stands ready to fulfill its part of the
bargain just as soon as Jefferson and Gaines
ville carry out their part. Gainesville has
fulfilled her part, and shakes the money at us.
Now what about the Jefferson subscription ?
We leave the stockholders to answer where
the doubt comes in and who are the laggards.
Ob, Mr. Delinquent Stockholder, be careful
when you throw cold water on and express
doubts about the success of the enterprise,
that you do not heap infamy upon your own
head and proclaim to the world }*our own
trcacherj*.
Again : did it ever strike you, or did you
ever think, what kind of men were engineer
ing the enterprise ? Do you know who the
President is, or any of the Board of Directors ?
If you do, you certainly have never thought
what kind of men the}' were, and how they
stood in their respective communities. Think
a moment, and then say if you believe they
would deceive you or lead }ou into a trap.
Then ask yourself the question, are such men
likely to be deceived or allow their good
judgment to forsake them in a matter of such
importance? You certainly do not know
what kind of a man you have as Presi
dent of the enterprise, and j-ou throw a re
proach upon his judgment every time j r ou
say the enterprise is likely to fail, or is not
based upon sound business principles. He
knows no such word as fail, and this is not
the firstgreatenterprisethathe has engineered
through a troublesome existence to success
and prosperity, lie has gone too far now to
turn back, and he is too good a leader to
consider such a thing. Then, taking all
things into consideration, the road is bound
to come. Delinquent stockholders can only
delay its progress, but can never slop it.
And in doing so, they deprive themselves of
its benefits and the prosperity it will bring.
Correct.
At the last term of the Elbert county
Superior Court Allen Blackwell was found
guilty of murder and sentenced to be hung on
the 13th day of next May. Now, there is
nothing very unusual in the above statement,
for, we regret to say, owing to the condition
of morals in this State, hangings are by no
means uncommon. Yet, in the present in
stance we find a wholesome departure from
the ordinary mode of procedure in such cases,
which is that the Judge has ordered the han<*
o
ing to be private ; the legal murder is to he
witnessed only by the relatives and friends
of the doomed man and the proper officials.
We cannot refrain from expressing our ap
probation for Judge Pottle, of the Northern
circuit, in thus changing the customary
method of vindicating outraged justice. It
is generally supposed that public hangings
have a salutary influence upon the people, and
deter them from the commission of crime.
To our minds this is all nonsense, and serves
as a very poor warning. The people of this
county have had several of these supposed
crime preventatives in the last few’ years,
but we have never yet seen or heard of the
first person that would say that they had
exerted l>eneficial influence, but, on the con
trary, they have pandered to the brutal in
stincts of the crowd in ever}* instance. We
do not propose to go into the discussion of
our side of the subject, but we have arrived
at our conclusions after mature deliberation
upon the subject, and we have simply noticed
the matter in order to put our vote on record
on the question.

WjL CURE H
The leading; Sdcnlisls of io-lay agree
thatenost diseases arc caused by disordered Kid
neys or Liver. If, therefore, the Kidneys and
Liver are kept in perfect order, perfect health will
be the result. This truth has only been known
a short time and for years people suffered great
agony without being able to find relief. The dis
covery of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
marks anew era in the treatment of these troubles.
Made from a simple tropical leaf of rare value, it
contains just the elements necessary to nourish
and invigorate both of these great organs, and
safely restore and keep them in order. It is a
POSITIVE Iteincdy for all the diseases that
cause pains in the lower part of the body—for
Torpid Liver—Headaches—Jaundice —Dizziness
—Gravel—Fever, Ague—Malarial Fever, and all
difficulties of the Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Or-
gans.
It is an excellent and safe remedy for females
during Pregnancy. It will control Menstruation
and is invaluable for Leucorrhcea or Falling of the
Womb.
Asa Blood Purifier it is unequaled, for it cures
the organs that make the blood.
