OaLETiioBPE, April 30th, '82.
Ma. Editor:—As wo see no com
munications from this point, I’ll
try and fayor you with a few items
aud ideas of my best observations
lrom a casual pervasion of our
little burg.
Oglethorpe and vicinity seem to
be floating in a booming current
of progressive prosperity since her
municipal authorities have become
; so strict in suppressing tho im
moral trespasses. No longer than
six months ago our town was bound
around and contaminated by these
invading drinking saloons, and in
fernal vagabonds, but just now she
is abating the polluted grogshops,
shaking off the shackles, and drift
ing out in the light ol’ her future
advantages. Our city is notably
free of loafers and vagrants and all
destitutes of moral character, and
is populated with the most inteli-
gent citizens and benutifnl girls of
any little town of its dimensions in
Southwest Georgia. And is sup
ported by some ot tho most affluent
and scientific farmers, who can’t
be excelled iu their calling.
Mr. E. Cook, ono of our most
energetic enterprisers, has recently
embarked in the brick business
and has his machinery in constant
operation; turning out about 20,000
brick per day. As Mr. Cook lias
recently erected a mammoth brick
building, comprising three large
store rooms, occupied by the Arms
of Collins & Cougle and W. O.
Strnnge|& liro. lie is contempla
ting the erection of other large
brick buildings, which will be quite
a commodious acquisition for mer-
chantiie facilities as well as a help
to our towu. As the brick are
first class, we hope Mr. Cook will
meet with much success iu 'selling
them.
Our farmers with scared hearts
ot the many unavoidable dtfieulties
witli which they meet, have become
imbued with new vigor of their
flattering prospects of meeting with
success this year, as their crops
are promising more of an abund
ant yield than heretofore of many
years back.
Messrs. XV. B. Hill and Dr. Oli
ver have some of the finest corn
that I havo seen this year. At
this date, corn is generally line,
but cotton is looking badly. They
were very unlucky in getting a
stand of cotton. Some arc plant
ing, some chopping, and some
ain’t, and it I had to wish them
good luck, I’d wish there wouldn’t
another seed come up, anil then I
reckon they’d plant corn enough
to run their plantations and tie in-
depundcut to the XVestcrn cribs
and their damaged corn.
Oats are generally line. Mr. H.
H. Sutton, a promising young far
mer, has about 50 acres of oats that
will make from about 35 to 50
bushels to tho acre. Mr. Editor,
allow me to say that is good, but
hero comes some better: Mr. J. J.
Dubre, one of the most successful
farmers of Macon county, has oats
that will yield 125 bushels lo tho
acre, nnd we lmvc'plcnty witnesses
to the assertion, and tbo oat Held
for proof, and don’t yon forget it.
XVe think ho has the Jowcr’s oat,
as lie got the Jower’s cotton seed
and made 3 hales per acre. Ono
bulc iu tlie aero isn’t half recom
mending tho Jower’s seed, and is
a misrepresentation of his celebrat
ed cotton seed.
The political agitation hasn't
astounded our municipal limits yet,
although two avouched candidates
for the next uongressianal cam
paign are in tho field, Ucn. Phil
Cock, our present momber of Con
gress from the 3rd district, and
Judge C. F. Crisp, of the Superior
Court. Our Judge is well known
and muchly loved for his prompt
ness in legitimate duties, nnd if
Judge Crisp retains the oeenpsuicy
he now bolds until Gen. Cook re
signs from Congress, he can walk
right up without a shudder. But
the Gen. has filled that position
with so much credit to himsell and
to bis constituents, that they will
support him with a unanimous vote
from here. Hurrah for Cook.
Civis.
Tariff Truths.
In a recent discussion of the
tariff bill in Congress. Congress
man Townshcnd, of Illinois, for
over an hour poured hoi shot into
the republican ranks. His language
was plain. He claimed that tlie
hill was not tlie result of tlie free
and deliberate judgment of a con
gressional committee, but is the
edict of a republican caucus, an
oxtra constitutional body, u socrct
conclave, which met under gas
light and with closed doors. He
cited iu proof of this tho recent
statement ot Kelley, who in mak
ing a personal explanation, admit
ted that he had surrendered his
conviction to caucus dictation. The
action of the republican caucus
this session was the first instance
that a party resorted to such means
of binding its members on purely
economic questions, and questions
of taxation. Townsbend denoun
ced the bill as a delusion and a snare
a trick invented by protectionists
to take tbc tariff issue if possible
out of the approaching elections.
He declared that the protectionists
controlled the ways atftl means of
the last congress, but they 1 are
now not intent with controlling the
present committee. They go so
far as to virtually domand that
this congress shall abdicate its
power und constitutional duty and
turn the subject over to the agents
of the protectionists. Tlie repub
lican party dare not meet the ques-
tion of protection on a square is
sue, either in or out of congress;
therefore they evade it by tricks
and vague language and attempted
to postpone it by lalse issues. The
receipts of the treasury show that
over one hundred millions are col
lected from federal taxation in ex
cess of what is necessary to pay all
the interest, pensions, fixed charges
nnd expenditures rff the govern
ment, and yet tho majority in con
gress presents no measure for a re
duction on tho necessaries of life, |
but it does present and demands a
reduction of taxes on banks nnd
bankers. He quoted from tho cen
sus returns to show tliat the far
mers of Illinois, Missouri, and oth
er states nrc heavily taxed to en
rich the iron and steel industries
of Pennsylvania, where nearly onc-
hulf of nil tho Bessemer steel mills
are situated, nn industry which, in
1880, paid sixty-seven per cent, of
the profits of its products to the i
owners and only fl per cent, of tlie .
same to its laborers. Tlie claim j
that recent presidential elections i
indicate that the sentiments of tho
country is favorable to protection i
is not well founded. The revenue
platform adopted in 187(1 by tbe
St. Louis convention was ratified
by more than a quarter of a mil
lion majority at the polls, and nt
the last election, if a full and free
discussion of the tariff had not been
prevented by tho timid counsellors
of tlie Democratic side nnd an un
bought election had been permit
ted by star-ronto thieves, office
holders and monopolists, a large
majority would havo been return
ed in favor of the revenue tariff
platform.
A Fragrant Brenlli anil Pearly Teeth, j
Are easily obtained by denting [
your tcetii daily with that justly |
popular dentifrice, SOZODONT. j
Composed of rare antiseptic herbs, |
it imparts whiteness to the teetli,,
a delicious aroma to tho breath, j
and preserves intact, from youth j
to old age, the teeth. Acidity of
tlie stomach will destroy the
strongest teeth unless its effects are
counteracted with SOZODONT,
and this pure tooth-wash protects
the dental surfaces by removing
every impurity that adheres to
them. Ask your druggist for
SOZODONT.
Swearing.
Germans and English swear by
God, the Latin races by the Vir
gin, Danes by the devil. For the
Swedes one devil is not enougii. “A
thousand devils take me,” is his
usual oath, or if the emergency de
mand, 10,000. In moments of
great excitement he raises to the
occasion and swears, “Tea thous
and tons of devils take me.”
A roll of jute bagging from jute
grown in the vicinity ol New Or

XYhat Constitutes An Editor.
Henry Wntterson: Some peo
ple estimate the ability of a period
ical and tbe talent of its editor by
the quantity* of its original matter.
It is comparatively an easy task
for a frothy writer t.o string out a
column of’words upon any and all
subjects. His ideas may How in a
weak, washy,everlasting flood, and
the command of Ills language may
enable him to string them togeth
er like bunches of onions, and yet
his paper may bo be but a meager
and poor concern. Indeed, the
mere writing part of editing a pa
per is but a small portion of the
work. Tbe enre, tbe time employ
ed in selecting, is lar more impor
tant, and the fact of u good editor
is better shown by its selections
than anything else; and that we
know, is half the battle. But as wc
havo said, an editor ought to lie
estimated, his labor understood
and appreciated, by tbc general
conduct of bis paper—its uniform,
consistent course, aims, manliness,
Its dignity and its propriety. To
preserve these as they should be
preserved is enough to occupy* ful
ly tlie time and attention of any
man. If to this be added tlie gene
ral supervision of tlie details of
publication which most editors
have to encounter, tbo wonder is
bow to find timo to write at all.
Insanity in Georgia.
Constitution.
Dr. Powell’s talk on insanity* in
Georgia presents some striking
points. Thcro are in all 63G patients
in tho State asylum, of which 22.3
are colored. Among the latter, Dr.
Powell says, insanity is increasing
with amazing rapidity. The illus
trations which tbc learned superin
tendent uses arc familiarjonough to
those who come much in contact,
witli the negro. Before tlie war
idiocy was tlie only form of mental
alienation to he found among them.
Now drinking, grief nnd loss of
property takes hundreds to tho asy
lum where none wont before. There
is a striking lesson in these facts for
sucli as choose to read between the
linos. Of. .insanity tn goneral in
Georgia Dr. l’oweil says the rate is
one to tho thousand or fifteen hun
dred. This rnto is lower limn that
of tlie average, which is ono to
eight hundred; while in some status,
especially in New England, the
rate was as high us one in five hun
dred. Undoubtedly the simple, nat
ural lives led by the majority of
our people preserves thcirmcntal as
well as their physical health.
Faded Colors Restored.
Faded or gray hair gradually
recovers its youthful color and
lustre by tho use of Parker’s Huir
Baisam, an elegant dressing, ad
mired for its purity ami rich per
fume.
Enongli to Damn.
Griffin rfun.
Voter, have you. noticed with
wlml unanimity tho Radical press
pat tbe disguised Georgia Kepul>-
lienns, called liberals, on the back?
It has tlie endorsement nnd su|e
port oi Arthur, and every promi
nent Nortben Radical sheet we
have noticed endorses the move
ment. These two facts alone arc
enough to damn any political
movement so far us Georgians nrc
concerned.
Permit No Substitution.
Insist upon obtaining Florestou
Cologne. It is pre-eminently su
perior in permanances and rich
delicacy of fragrance.
An authentic and nutbcnticatcd
instance of wifely devotion has
lately come of light which must be
pronounced unparalleled. A farm
er Prince George’s county, Md.,
had an immense tumor on the back
of his neck, which tlie doctors de
clared would be instant death to
touch. The man and his wito agree
ing that the tumor must come off,
the wife sharpened up the family
carving knife, and actually gauged
the tumor out. The man got well,
and in less than n month after the
operation gave his wife a tremen
dous thrashing.
