Eloquently True and Just.
n is with hearty cordiality that we place
on record the following just tribute to Mr.
Davis, from the Sparta Ishmaelile Pie
towers above his enemies like some giant oak
over a knarled and scrubby sapling, that
ean do naught but repose in its shade :
“It isn’t singular that such a man as
.Trflprson Darin should have enemies even in
the South. Vain and ambitions men are
angered by his superior excellencies. His
very greatness affronts them. They resent a
superiority which they are not manly enough
to admit. They sneer at a courage that
actually grew greater in the midst of danger,
and that the terrors of impending ruin only
sublimated. He was better and braver and
truer than his purpose, and they cannot for
give him for it. His greatness in all that
dignifies mau in the presence of his fellow
men, is a standing menace to their littleuess ;
ana under the painful and humiliating com
parison, they grow angry and revengeful.
1 he\r agent in a fateful war, be was braver
and more devoted than they—as truthful
history will some day record. They bate

Rrnfroe’s .Triumph.
Thp deed is done. Renfroe is acquitted,
fie is an innocent man in the eye ot the law.
Goldsmith, whose crime was no greater than
Renfroe’s, was made to feet the full fnry of
the law Fie was not only nncercmonionelv
finrled from office, but additional diserace
was lmaped upon him in his total and abso
lute disfranchisement. The poor man has
no political rights that others are hound to
respect. The law in his case is remorseless ;
but in the other esse if wp rightly nndpr
stnnd the evidence, guilt was proven hevond
a reasonable doubt. It was absolutely
palpable that Renfroe had time and attain
violated the law. It was proven that he
did this in order to pot money in his own
pocket ; and yet there were fnnnd seventeen
men in the Senate who, in the face of their
solemn oaths, voted “not ouii.tt !”
The record of the last hours of this
memorable trial—a trial that will be remem
bered for many years—l* before ns. From
it we learn that while there were some who
honestly believed Renfroe innocent of any
corrupt motive, or Intention to do wrong,
there was such a disposition to "log-roll” as
to induce the belief that in the event of a
verdict of guilty being found, snch an un
comfortable condition of nffiiirs might arise
as wonld cause new and startling develop
ments to be made. Hence, in order that the
turbulent pot of investigation might cease to
boil, this man was told to go and sin no more.
Well, presuming, until the contrary be
proven, that every Senator followed and
obeyed the convictions of doty, we shall hope
that the lessons of these two trials will be
turned to advantage, in warning others.
With Goldsmith it is indeed a sad thing ;
nor is it much better with his luckier partner
in misforlune; for, however pore the law
may regard him, all honest people will re
gard him with suspicion. Like a woman,
whose purity once lost is never perfectly re
gained, so with a high State functionary
Once tainted, be can never afterwards enjoy
universal confidence. Such is human natnre.
The State of Georgia—called in her pride
the Empire State of the South—requires her
set vants to work for so small a som that it
is almost impossible for them to iive and
keep up a respectable appearance on the
pitiful salaries doled out to them. Mark the
result, and then prove to us that the State is
not in part answerable for the crimes here
committed: Goldsmith and Renfroe went
into office honest men ; an insufficiency of
means derived from the salaries intended for
their support led them into doing that which,
if the necessity for an increased income had
not existed, they would not have done ; they
were^prebe^^n^^M
stands morally convicted before the world,
and will be under the ban of suspicion long af
ter the other’s crime shall have been forgotten
But the end is come, and we most heartily
rejoice that it has. May we not hope that
after this excitemen has abated, and the bad
feeling engendered thereby passed away,
matters will return to their Dormal state,and
the era of fraternity once more be estab
lished. Then, when reason and judgment
and common sense can havo some little force
in our public affairs, perhnps the mistakes,
if any, which have been made during these
trials, can be corrected. Everybody will
join us iu the prayer that they may.
Thr Jasper Centennial. —Though some
what tardy, we must be jx rmitted to express
our gratification at the brilliant success of
the Jasper Centennial in Savannah last week.
Ihe occasion will long be remembered. It
was a grand success in every feature. The
crowd was enormous—testing fully the ca
pacity of Georgia’s “Seaport Queen.” The
speech of our great Senator was masterly ;
the show of the military brilliant iu the
hi ghest degree ; good order unbroken by a
single mishap—everything moved as it was
ordsred, and everybody was delighted.
\ erily, it was a day of jubilee. It surpassed
anything ever before witnessed m the State,
and will add to the already proud fame of
the people in the city by the sea.
We refrain from printing any extended
accounts, as our readers have doubtless al
ready made themselves acquainted with the
details of the great event.
Sensible.— We clip the following from
the Talbotton Register, and desire every
Henry county farmer to study it Good
advice, soood doctrine, bard, solid facts shine
oul from every line:
“This is what tbe Southern farmers must
know and consider ; and knowing the facts
they must see the imperative necessity if
they want cheap breadstuff?—to prepare to
raise them at borne. No farmer iu tbe South
should let the email grain seed season pass
without putting in full crops of wheat, oats,
rye and barlev. With full cribs and burns,
and well stocked smoke bouses, the South
ern farmer is lord of the situation, and if it
must be so. he can sell bis cotton at low
prices, and then ask no odds of tbe outside
world.”
Foolish — The following foolish agree
ment has been entered into by a number of
young men at Canastoo, N. T.:
Thirty young men have signed an odd
compact, whereby they agree to abstaio from
intoxicating drinks for life, aod any one of
them who breaks it is bound t» publish io
the village papers, over his own signature, a

TRIP ON THR TIDE BY AR UKINITIATFO
LAND-IXFHRR.
Mr Editor :—On Inst Wednesday pruning
we donned onr duster, pnt a pint of pinders
in our pnrket, and with an “enthnsiasm war
ranted time-proof and made of gpnnine
never-decaying material.” we ensconced our
self in the depths of a enshioned scat on
hoard the Central train at Hampton, and
started out to see the show at Savannah.
We soon fonnd onrsetf surrounded by a
bevy of Parnesvilte’s benntiful girls, who
fairly won your correspondent fiom the
sedate position he had assumed into an ntter
forgetfulness of self by their sprigh'liness
and vivacity, and carried him hack ten years
or more, nntil it was with some difficulty he
oonld command his dignity and identity as
a benedict. Upon our arrival in Maron we
found an immense coneonrse of people in
wait for transportation to the “Forest City."
By an almost herculean effort we secured a
seat, which was shared by a genial compan
ion in the person of Mr Edwin R Sharpe,
of the Carrollton Times, when the cars
rattled ont of the "Central City” depot and
took their way to the sea. The train being
crowded, sleep was ont of the question, so
we had to succumb to the exigencies of the
occasion and pass the time in social converse
for the night.
Dusty, tired and hnngry, we landed in
Savannah on Thursday morning and begaD
to seek for "a little trundle bed.” The
Pulaski and Scriven were overflowing with
guests, the boarding houses wtre crowded
out of all reason, and we found it a difficult
matter to obtain lodging. It w\s emphati
cally a big day in the history ol Savannah,
and by 10 o’clock, A. M., the numerous trains
had poured such a crowd of people into the
city that the streets were perfectly packed,
and locomotion among the pedestrians l>e
came exceedingly difficult. Nevsr before in
the history of this country had inch honors
been pa'd to the memory of a private sol
dier, and never were they more vorthily be
stowed than on this dead hero, vbo a cen
tury ago fell in the defense of the establish
ment of onr liberties. It may not be amiss
for us to refer to the occasion «nd to tbe
gallant man of whom these cerenonies were
commemorative.
After the battle of Fort Moultrie, the
Second Regiment, in which the ncble Jasper
served, was presented with a magnificent
banner by M ra. Bernard Elliott, with the
request that the colors might ever be pro
tected by the valor and bravery of the
troops. On the 9th of Octoler, 1779,
Savannah, which was then under the control
of the British troops, was attacked by Count
D’Estaing, commanding the united forces of
the French and American armies. The
assault resulted very disastrously to the
American arms, and D'Estaing vas com
pelled to retreat, after a heavy bss of bis
men, receiving himself a severe wound in the
attempt to capture the town. During the
engagement the Second Regiment played a
c.inspicnous part, and in the fiercest ol the
their lives supporting the colors
which they loved so well. As the banner
bit the dust for the third time Sergeant
Jasper sprang from the ranks and sewn?
the fallen standard, in the storm of shot and
shell rushed forward and planted them upon
the British works, when he received a mor
tal wound and fell with his hand upon bis
banner and his face to the foe. His Inst
words were characteristic of the man Said
he, as fce felt the tide of life floating ont, “I
have got my furlough. That sword was
presented to me by Governor Rutledge for
my services in the defense of Fort Monltrie ;
give it to my father and tell him that I have
worn it with honor. If he should weep, tell
him his son died in the hope of a better life.
Tell Mrs Elliott that 1 lost my life support
ing the colors which she presented to our
regiment. If you should ever see Jones, his
wife and son, tell them That Jasper is gone,
but that the remembrance of the battle
which he fought for them brought a secret
joy to his heart when it was about to stop
its motion foreve.-.” Thus died the gallant
Jasper, an alien, but a friend and putriot to
the American cause, who left his native land
to link his destinies with the young Republic
of the West, and lay upon the altar of his
adopted country the highest and holiest
oflering of the soldier and patriot—his heart’s
best blood And to day, after the lapse of
an hundred years, Georgia’s people meet to
do him honor, and well do they discharge
the trust Up aod down the beautiful streets
the glittering guns and waving plumes tf 11
us that Georgia, Florida and South Carolina
sold''ery are here to do respect to the fallen
brave. As they file down to Madison
Square, beaded by the German Fusiliers of
Charleston, to which company Jasper was
attached when he fell, the procession was
greeted with rounds of applause by the thou
sands of spectators who had assembled to
witness the sceoe. Our gallant Gordon was
the orator of the day, and never did he
acquit himself so well. Ilis theme was full
of pathos and eloquence, and his words will
live in our hearts for days to come. A 9
near as could be ascertained, the monu
mental corner-stoue was laid over the spot
where Jasper fell. Ibe music swelled into
a graod symphony, and the immense crowd
slowly dispersed from the spot.
Savannah, in some respects, is a remarka
ble town. Her houses are built io an antique
style, and present more of the uniqueness of
the fancy and fashion of a century ago than
any other city in the South. Having in her
early days imbibed much of the habits and
customs of tbe French colonists, there exists
to-day among ber inhabitants a practical
politeness that is quite refreshing to tbe
uncouth manners of other localities. She is
emphatically the monumental city of our
State, and her parks and public works reflect
credit upoo tbe enterprise and spirit of her
citizenry.
After being regaled with some of the
good things of this life by our brethren of
the Morning Metre, we proceeded to tbe
wharf aod took shipping for Tybee and
Warsaw Sound. As our boat, filled with
passengers, floated down tbe current of the
river in tbe golden haze of ao October eve
ning, our spirits rose with the occasion into
a perfect ecsUcy of delight. Swiftly oar
the bine waters of the Atlantic main. Ne“er
before did we so appreciate the force of
• bounding billows” as we mounted the waves
that camp rolling in over the distant deeps
and rocked our boat on the restless tide.
Hardly had we entered Warsaw Honod and
felt the surging of the “vasty deep,” when
a gentle nneasiness in the region of the
diaphram warned os of an approaching sea
son when we might proceed to cast up
accounts and yield the inevitable tribute to
Neptune. To onr great relief, and with the
hearty approbation of “Fitch” Alexander,
who was holding down a large coil of rope
in the almost vain attempt to balance the
credit column io the log-book of his victual
department, the boat turned slowly around
in the trough of the sea and headed for the
city. The excursion down the river aod
back was highly enjoyed by all, and by none
more than Jack Brown, who saw everything,
and laughed at everything, from tbe centre
to the circumference of the trip.
All in all. the “Jasper Centennial" was a
complete success, and well may Savannah
be prood of the day that brought together
her thousands to celebrate the event that has
woven in her history a silvery thread of
romance and chivalry that has grown
brighter and brighter through the century
gone by.
Of course the members of tbe press were
out in full force. At 9 o’clock they assem
bled in Metropolitan Hall, when the Associa
tion was called to order by Vice-President
Hancock, in a few appropriate remarks. We
recognized many familiar faces among tbe
brethren of the “fourth estate,” wbo greeted
us with hindly welcome. The business be
fore tbe Convention was readily disposed of,
and tbe boys were given tickets and license
for their general enjoyment in tbe run of tbe
city.
As darkness settled over tbe city we took
our way to the depot, where we boarded the
first outward bound train and was in doe
time landed back at home.
In conclusion, permit us to say that io all
oor life wo never—that is, hardly ever—met
with such a jolly crew, or had u more de
lightful trip. Arnot.
Our Peeksville Letter.
Mr. Editor: —Said I to a denizen of this
county not long since : “Now is the time
to subscribe lor your county paper. The
new mail route is in operation, and you c«n
get the paper wet from the press, filled with
all the news that is afloat.” Said he, “I
don’t care to pay $1 50 for my county paper
when I can get a New Tork or Chicago
paper, twice 83 large, for half the money.”
We meekly informed him that he did not
read a third of the matter that foreign news
papers contained ; that he not only d:d not
read it, but that it would be of no interest
to him if be did ; that something transpiring
about home was more valnnble and enter
taining than news coming from a distance.
He replied that he did not care to pay a
man to publish what came nnder bis own
observation, or to read anything that he
already knew.
Not many dnys after we loaned him a
copy of Thk Henry County Weekly, and
after he had perused it from alpha to omega.
we ventured the inquiry as to his like or
-1 mum ii a poor ming lnrfCecl; I don’t see
one word from oar own neighborhood." This
I regarded as consistency with a vengeance,
and comment is entirely superfluous. For
the information, however, of the honorable
gentleman, and others whose names are
synonyms of consistency, we will state tbnt
there is a “Debating Society” here known
as the “Ciceronian Society,” and at the next
meeting tbe question. “Which was the
greater poet. Milton or Shakespeare?” will
be discussed; that the young meD have
organized a “young men’s prayer meeting
that tbe older men have a prayer meeting of
their owo, and that we have the most flour
ishing Sunday school that has beeD in this
neighborhood for years. As Autumn ad
vances the interest is unabated—a thing that
seldom occnrs in the country.
Henry Thompson, whose life has been
despaired of, is slowly recovering. There
has been much sickness id this vicinity
recently, especially among children, bnt
under the skillful treatment of Drs. Peek,
Trainer aDdliuson, all have recovered, or
at least are in a fair way to health again.
Dr. WyDn is absent without leave. It is
rumored that he is off on a prospecting tour,
and that on his return he will have his
machinery remodeled and begin anew. The
Dr. ba3 a great deal of enterprise, and will
hitch an engine to bis mill if Tussaba* gets
much drier.
We are pained to chronicle the death of
Frank Collins, which took place last night.
He leaves a wife and two small childrenito
mourn his loss. Proclus.
Peeksville, Ga., Oct. 9th, 1879.
“Honor to Whom Honor i 9
Due.”
Mr. Editor .-—Your correspondent, in last
week’s issue, under Ihe above beading, mis
directed his missile, and it has falleD with
ponderous weight upon the innocent head of
poor “old Bob Lee,” an innocent old mule,
that deserves words of commendation, rather
then those insinuations that have been passed
upon him by his ungrateful master. I would
pass the matter unnoticed, but the injured
party must be defended, and the "honor con
ferred upon whom honor is due.” Bob is the
deserving party, and he must be honored.
Doubtless Mr. Gorman is an excellent man,
but your correspondent bad no desire to
eulogize him ; his object was to annihilate
his predecessor, and the result is, poor “Bob”
has been unjustly slandered. As a matter
of justice to the mule, please allow me to
give your readers ai least one incident in the
history of bis life : On a certain occasion,
as he was being harassed by the vocifera
tions of his present owner, who occasionally
makes the hills around Mt. Carmel echo
with his shrill voice as it articulates bis
favorite execrations, as follows : “Ge-e-e-e,
Bob!—you infernal old fool!” (But read
ers. please say nothing about this, as the
mule’s master was at that time a member of
the church ) On the occasion referred to, the
patience of both mule aDd master was sorely
tried. Bob saw a beautiful bunch of fresh
grass, that looked so temptiog be could not
avoid turning iu to refresh the inner male.
I his was beyond the endurance of his mas
ter, whose bead towers high into the thinner
atmosphere, (and by the way, this accounts
for the thinness of bis farming rejibrt, which
rh : ’ -..1” Jl III! 'f& -would have been
- - -
ematieal calculation.) He polled with all
his power against “Bob,” hut “Bob’ was
stronger than his master, and gently palled
him forward. At this critical juncture the
enraged iohd dropped bis lines and made for
tbe fence. Seizing a rail, he returned,
brandishing it high in the air. and at last,
bringing it down wi'b a giant’s strength, le
laid “Bob” prostrate upon the ground, say
ing, with a triumphant gesture, “Now, ,
i reckon you will mind meSince then
he has been careful to obey, and I think his
master should delight to “honor him.”
And now let me soy that all is in perfect
harmony at Mt Carmel. “Bob” is grazing
quietly upon the bill near Uncle Nick
Pritchett’s store. His master’s plowing
tones have long since died nway in tbe dis
tance. lam living with Mr. Lee Adnm«,
whom I God to be a high-minded gentleman.
As a teacher, I have had the liberal patron
age of the people for two years, aod they are
subscribing more libernly for next year.
They are onder no obligations to me, bat I
am under many obligations to them, and
with gratitude for tbeir past favors, I intend |
giving them a better school next year thoi
ever before. So far as l know, I enjoy tbe
perfect friendship of all tbe jteople, except
“Bob’s” master, who has been seeking to
impede my prosperity for the last twehe
months, and for no other reason than that I
was not willing to be an abject slave while
living on his land, and allow him to threaten
to “kick my children so high that tbe birds
would not build id them.” And now I
would gladly forgive the past, and live fra
ternally with him if he would only desist
from bis unfair df%)ing toward myself, and
treat “Bob” with due respect.
I have beeD driven to make this defense,
and will now adjourn sine die. I most say,
however, that bottom lands arouud Mt.
Carmel have yielded wonderful crops of corn
this year. I took a ride with Mr. George
All yesterday. His bands were gathering
corn, fifty ears of which weighed 70 lbs.
This is no exaggeration ; tbe fact was ascer*
tained by actual experiment, and can be
substantiated by Dr. J. T. Lawrence. Your
readers can satisfy their minds regarding
other things that I have written by con
sulting the Fields, Fosters, Mitchells, Wise,
Pritchett, Conkles, White, Babbs, Browns.
Adams, or any one they may desire to con
sult. H.
Mt. Carmel, Oct. 9th, 1879.
Renfroe.
Or course tbe opponents of impeachment
pressed every consideration that could be
permitted to preveßt that consummation;
but it seems singular that they should have
urged the Treasurer’s ignorance of the laws
that he had been violating as an apology
for his wrong. If a lawyer were to make
such a plea lor bis client, though that client
were in fact an ignorant negro, before any
Justice of the Peace in Georgia, ought not
the Justice to fine him for contempt of
Court ? TbeD does not it look as if the
counsel and friends of Mr. Renfroe had a
very low estimate of the intelligence ot the
court composed of Georgia Senators ? But
if this plea of ignorance is good in such a
court as that which has just acquitted Mr.
Ron few. wj)y..mn jijHjLbs „?£°,<UB vI'HS
our common Courts because they are not
recognized by pre-ent laws, the Senate
should now eudeavor to change the laws so
as to give all men alike the benefit of their
ignorance. —Columbus Times.
The strangest part of the whole matter is
that Renfroe should be acquitted of taking
$247 as costs, and Goldsmith convicted of
taking fifty cents cost on 6. fas. This in
consistency in tbe two verdicts will remain
a mystery, and while we have nothing to
say against it, we can but wonder if Gold
smith was ODly made an example—only sac
rificed on the altar of public policy—to suf
fice for the shortcomings of the present ad
ministration.—Atlanta Dispatch.
After a loDg and heated trial tbe Senate,
sitting os a Court, says the Treasurer is not
guilty, and the Treasurer may, and doubt
less will return to his office as an innocent
and injured man! Perhaps this is all as it
should be, but if it is, the Senate should re
view its action in the case of Mr. Goldsmith
and at least relieve him of bis political dis
abilities, for the high court will find it hard
to show the people why the one should be
stamped with tbe brand of perpetual degra
dation, and the other, whose skirts are spot
ted all over with the soil of official wrong
doing, should be found guiltless and sent
back to his office. —Columbus limes.

It is the simplest structure ter raising wa

is compos* d of alternate fiat and round links
made of the best iron, and strong enough to
bear ten times the strain required. The com

bas no wooden tubiog to wear out . decay and
pollute tbe water, no iron tubing to rust, no
suckers or valves to wear out; has no wood,
