E. L. Brinson, Ordinary B. C.
The scholastic year of the Waynes
boro academy closed on yesterday
without any public exercises. Mr.
W. R. Grey, the principal, lias ten
dered his resignation, which the
trustees have accepted. For sever
al years there has been no apparent
signs of live vitality in our acade
my. Like the wounded snake, it
has dragged its slow length along.
We hear of commencement exerci
ses, concerts, exhibitions and a big
time generally, everywhere but at
the Waynesboro academy. There
is somebody to blame for this lack
of lite and vigor. The friends of
education have enjoyed a long sleep
and there is even now no signs of
their waking. Like the sluggard,
their cry seems to be “a little more
sleep, and a little more slumber, a
little more folding the hands to
sleep.” The county school board
thought it right to divide the pub
lic money among three colored
schools in the city, but they have
given all the money belonging to
the white schools to this one acade
my, thus to a great extent killing
off all other schools. And yet, this
favoring discrimination has worked
no good results. The academy has
not taken on any renewed life,
and there seems to be a general
and wide-spread indifference as re
gards our own school. The appa
rent effort to kill off private schools
has succeeded, but if there has been
any rebound it lias not gone in the
direction of the academy. We will
express no opinion as to the cause
of this apathy and emphatic indif
ference, but only allude to the mat
ter so that our citizens eau wake up
and put on their thinking caps, and
for the good of their children and
the community do something.
Sunday Excursions.
Sunday School Excursion.
The Sunday schools ot Perkins
Junction, Lawtonville and Millen
“excurted” to 1’ybee on last Thurs
day. They had a special train, pay
ing $1.10 per capita. They report a
glorious time, having had a com
bination of pleasures—a ride on the
railroad, a handshaking with Savan
nah, a view of the ocean, and an in
vigorating sea bath.
A Deserved Compliment.
Col. J. J. Jones, at the recent com
mencement at Oxford, was elected
chairman of the board of trustees.
This is a high and deserved compli
ment. Col. Jones feels a lively in
terest in the cause of education and
its progress in the state, and his
best efforts will be giyen towards
the furtherance of the important in
terests entrusted to his manage
ment.
Still on Hand.
Thankful I feel that I am here,
And not overcome by refuges yet,
Wiilingand waiting to serve you honestly.
In repairing your watches, clocks and jew
elry.
Giving the above mentioned busi
ness my entire study and pratical
experience at the work bench for
15 years, I am perlectly satisfied
that I can give satisfaction to all
who entrust their work in ray
hands. I will buy old gold and
silyer or take in exchange for work.
Thanking you for your past patron
age. I am very respectfully,
P. R. Beale.
A New Order.
The trackmen of the Central rail
road have organized a lodge known
as the Railway Order of Trackmen
of the L T . S. A division lodge of
this order lias its headquarters in
Augusta, and nearly all of the track
men ot this branch of the Central
Railroad are members of the order.
They will call a meeting at Millen
on July 21st, to which every track
man of the Central Railroad is invi
ted to be present. As the order is
is for their mutual benefit, a large
number will be present.
A Good Suggestion.
We learn that the question is be
ing agitated among the various al
liance clubs of the county, of mak
ing Waynesboro the headquarters
for the county alliance. There is
every reason why Waynesboro
should be selected. It is centrally
located and is within reaching dis
tance of all the lodges in the coun
ty. In coming to the county seat,
oftentimes “two birds can be killed
with one stone,” as the members of
the lodges will have the opportuni
ty ol transacting their own private
business between and after the
meetings ot the alliance.
)lake Your Tax lteturns.
'ftie tax receiver informs us that
he is somewhat delayed in com
mencing to make up his digest on
account of the tardiness of taxpay
ers in Waynesboro in making their
returns. That the GOth and G2d dis
tricts are the first to be entered in
compiling the tax books, and al
though the time expires to-day by
limitation of law, not more than
one-lialf of the taxpayers in Way
nesboro have made their returns.
He authorizes us to say that he will
keep his books open next week at
his residence, to give all wtio have
not had an opportunity of making
their returns a chance to file them.
Physicians prescribe Dr. J. H.
McLean’s Tar Wine Lung Balm; in
it they find no trace of opium or
morphia while its efficacy in curing
all throat or lung diseases is won
derful.
The agent of the Central at this
place informs us that the running
of the Sunday excursions trains will
bring about a change of the regular
schedule for that day. The down
train which passes here at 1:44 will
remain over at Millen to await the
excursion train, and there will con
sequently be no train at 3:3S from
below. This change will deprive
ns of our Macon and Atlanta
mails. The following is the Sun
day schedule for points on this
branch of the Central:

If these excursions do away with

be a number of our citizens to join
with the preachers in pronouncing
against the demoralizing tendency
of Sunday excursions.
Should lie Stopiii il.
There are many small boys and
half grown boys, in Waynesboro
over whom their parents seem to
exercise no control, and they are
evidently working their way at a
rapid rate along the route which
leads to a first-class position in the
unenviable calling of general worth
lessness. They are utterly indiffer
ent as to their conduct at school, and
their favorite diversion seems to be
in loafing about the streets morning,
noon and night. They can smoke,
and chew and “cuss damn” with
the most telling emphasis. One of
their latest diversions is to congre
gate in the afternoon just beyond
the limits of the town at McIntosh
creek along the line of the railroad,
and exhibit their nudity to the
ladies on the afternoon train. The
stranger on the ears as lie passes
Waynesboro must be impressed
with the unpromising outlook of
the hope of this part of the country.
At the request of some of our citi
zens, the Rev. Mr. Anthony has
promised to preach a sermon to
morrow, taking for his text the
small boys of Waynesboro. Hope
parents will attend.
A Gala Day at Girard.
The dinner given by the Masonic
fraternity at Girard on last Satur
day was largely attended and high
ly appreciated. A large number of
friends from a distance had been
invited to be present, but from some
cause, only a few responded. The
orator of the day, the Hon. Jno. S.
Davidson did not make his appear
ance. IIi3 place was very credit
ably filled by Rev. J. S. Lewis, the
Methodist minister in charge of that
circuit, who made a splendid ad
dress. The bill-of-fare furnished
ample entertainment, and the large
crowd returned home well-pleased
with the day’s entertainment. The
people of the entire 68th district
have good cause to be in fine spirits.
They are said to have the most en
couraging prospects for an abun
dant crop, the records of the court
shows fewer mortgages against
them than J or any district in the
county. They can worship God un
der their own vine and fig tree with
out apprehensions of obligationspast
due or the visit of the collecting
officer demanding what “thou ow
es t.”
—Scherer always keeps the finest
and best fruits to be found iu the
market.
“Pleasures arc like poppies spread,
You seize the flower—the bloom is Shed-
Rut like the snowflake down the river,
A moment white, (lien gone forever.”
But, nevertheless, we all like
these pleasures, and are joyful
when they come, yet extremely
sad when they are gone. I intend
to give, not a graphic picture of the
Ileohzibah commencement as time
audspace will not permit,but some of
the most enjoyable features, in this
letter. To begin with let me say
that the programme, was faultlessly
rendered and needs no eulogy from
me hut.it presented an insignia of
all that was serious, jolly and joyful.
To say that each part was well-
rendered, would but feebly express
the meaning of the writer, and let
me say that the commencement
exercises and the programme was
not the only thing around that
beautiful village that would tempt
the iien of a correspondent. The
hospitality of the people is beyond
anything I have ever seen, and will
be remembered by the visitors with
great pleasure lor many years to
come. The principal feature in
Hephzibah, is the beautiful ladies.
Never in the history of your cor
respondent has there ever been
seen such an array of beautiful
women. To attempt to discrimi
nate would undoubtedly end in a
sublime farce. But duty as well as
the edict of every visitor there,
make me say that unquestionably,
the belle of the occasion was Miss
Helen Mobley, of Johnston, S. C.,
and right by her side may be men
tioned Misses Maggie Byne, Clifford
Gray, Nettie Garrett, Eliie Carswell,
Ethel Walker and many others. To
the hospitality of the people, espe
cially to Mr. and Mrs. U. B. Frost,
we will say, don’t treat us so again
or our visits may be too often. The
visitors from Waynesboro, were,
Misses Clifford Gray, Katie Thomas,
Minnie Jones, Mrs. R. L. Phelps,
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Thomas, Mr. and
Mrs. M. B. Gray, Messrs. Willie
McCathern, Judson McElmurray, J.
II. Whitehead, M. O. Blackwell)
Col. G. O. Warnock, Hon. W. II.
Davis and Mr. Harper Dent. Mr.
Davis was chosen as alumni orator
for the next commencemnt.

An Able Document.
The able school report of Mr. J. II.
Roberts, county school commission
er, in obedience to the instructions
of the grand jury has been publish
ed. It is in pamphlet form, and
copies of it will be sent by Mr.
Roberts to the friends of education
in different parts of the county. It
is well gotten up, and embodies
vgry interesting and instructive
statistics. At the same time it
makes a very bad showing for
Burke county so tar as its progress
in the work of education is concern
ed. Georgia is behind her sister
states in public schools, and the
reader of this report will leel con
vinced that Bnrke county must be
away behind all the other counties
of the state. Our county pride holds
us back from referring to some of
the many unfavorable showings
pointed out in Mr. Roberts’ report.
V. S. Kish Inspectors.
Messrs. C. H. Boll man and Bert
Fisher have been in the county for
several days representing the Fish
Commission of the United States.
The work consists in catching (by
the use of the seine,) specimens ol
all the varieties of fish in the
streams ot McBean and Brier creeks
and the Ogeechee. These specimens
will be preserved in alcohol and
sent on to Washington. At some
future day, doubtless, the commis
sion will plant such fish in these
streams as tlieir waters will grow.
As our population becomes more
dense, its teeming millions will
need vastly Increased quantities ot
the bread of life, and an abundance
of fish will do much towards filling
up many an aching void.

Bowman, Ga., May 10th, 18S8.
Dr. W. M. Pitts, Thomson, Ga.—
Dear Sir—I can cheerfully testify
as to the intrinsic merit of your
Carminative. In the latter part of
the spring our little girl, in the
process of teething, was suffering
from cholera infantum, and was fast
becoming a mere skeleton, when
fortunately my attention was called
to the curative properties of your
Carminative. After using a few
doses, she commenced to improve,
resting sweetly at night, and soon
regained her natural bloom of
sweetness. You are at liberty to
use my humble testimonial as you
think best. Trusting that God’s
blessings may rest upon your labors
in disseminating your Carminative
to the alleviation of the troubles
consequent to teething children. I
am gratefully and respectfully
yours, Jno. L. Nance.
—When you go to Augusta stop
at the Augusta hotel. You will re
ceive kind attention and get good
fare.
Children will freely take Dr. J.
FI. McLean’s Tar Wine Lung Balm;
unlike cough syrups, it contains no
opium, will soothe and heal any
disease of the throat or lungs quick
er than any other remedy.
— Mr. David Hunter, one of the
aged veterans of the Anti-Gould
Telegraph Co., is teaching a class in
telegraphy. His pupils are adepts
in handling the bottled up light
ning, and can rattle their happy
thoughts across the wires with
amazing rapidity.
There are many accidents and dis
eases which effect stock and cause
inconvenience and loss to the farm
er in his work, which may be quick
ly remedied by the use of Dr. J. H.
McLean’s Volcanic Oil Liniment.
—Maj. Wilkins was invited to de
liver before the State Agricultural
Society, which meets at Rome, an
address on stock raising. He re
sisted the temptation of a free ride
and a warm welcome. Business
engagements necessitated his re
maining at home.
— We are informed that the corn
crop of the GSth is amazingly fine,
and our reporter expressed the
opinion that even 50 widows
couldn’t find Mr. Chandler were
he disposed to seek refuge in one
of his fields when he wanted to flee
the wrath to come.
Persons who lead a life or expos
ure are subject to rheumatism,
neuralgia and lumbago and will find
a valuable remedy in Dr. J. H. Mc
Lean’s Volcanic Oil Liniment; it will
banish pain and subdue inflamation.
—A telegraph line has been run
between the residences of Messrs.
R. II. Malone and Sim Garlick, The
young ladies will do a sight of talk
ing over the wires, and by constant
practice will soon render themselves
experts in this very useful and prac
tical branch of education.
If you suffer pricking pains on
moving the eyes, or cannot bear
bright light, and find your sight
weak and failing, you should
promptly use Dr. J. H. McLean’s
Strengthening Eye Salve. 25 cts. a
box.
—Mr. W. A. Wilkins, Jr., returned
home on Thursday night. He is a
student at Oxford, and was one of
the orators at commencement. He
will remain In our city until the
first of August, and then with his
father will do up New York City
and some one or more northern
summer resorts.
Far better than the harsh treat
ment of medicines which horribly
gripe the patient and destroy the
coating of the stomach. Dr. J. H.
McLean’s Chill and Fever Cure, by
mild yet effective action will cure.
Sold at 50 cents a bottle.
—Mr. Seaborn II. Jones has been
spending some time at Beaufort, S,
C. On Thursday morning a tele
gram was received by his father.
Col. Jones, advising his illness. Col.
and Mrs. Jones at once left for
Beaufort, and returned on yester
day bringing with them Mr. Seab.
Jones. He reached here free of
fever and this morning he is resting
very easy.
—We are having every now and
then a shower of rain, which has
the tendency of keeping vegetation
on short rations. Ten weeks of dry
weather has made the ground aw
fully thirsty, and it will take more
than one good rain to moisten the
lips ol old mother earth. The signs
are daily becoming more propitious,
and during the next few days we
predict copious showers.
—Work on the new colored Meth
odist church near the depot began
last Wednesday. This building
when completed will give the color
ed people of Waynesboro three new
churches. They have also two
large academies. Considering their
means and advantages, especially
in providing houses for school pur
poses, they have gone a long way
ahead of our white citizens.
Exposure to rough weather, get
ting wet, living in damp localities
are favorable to the contraction of
diseases of the kidneys and bladder.
As a preventive, and for the cure of
all kidney and liver trouble, use
that valuable remedy, Dr. J. IL Mc
Lean’s Liver and Kidney Balm, $1
per bottle.
—The members of the legislature
are packing their grip-sacks, getting
ready for the summer session which
opens on next Wednesday. Hon.
John C. Chew was in the city on
yesterday. He went to Augusta
this morning, and on Tuesday he
and Mr. Buxton will leave for At
lanta. Mr. Davis will be ready to
put in his appearance. He is look-
very solid and is both willing and
able to do any amount of work.
—Dr. C. T. Milner has added one
more to his list of pets. This time
it is a rattlesnake. The dear dar
ling is housed in a box coyered by
a pane of glass, and he gratifies his
ruling propensity by wagging his
tail and darting his fangs at every
intruder who would molest or at
tempt to make him afraid. He is
so full of electricity that parties
who place their hands on the glass,
vow and declare that a sort of titti-
lating senation creeps up all along
their arms.

Communicated,
Hillis, Ga., June 19, 1889.
Messrs. Editors: Will you allow
me space for an exhortation to the
Alliance brotherhood. If so, it will
probably be appreciated by them,
while it may produce laughter for
the oppressive monopolies, trusts,
pools and merchants; but we are
not like Mr. Harrison, and don’t
object to a little harmless laughing
in time of trouble. It is soothing and
it takes the place of patent medicine
to some extent, so we will allow
them that privilege as it runs on a
cheap scale of physic.
My brethren, let me exhort you
to stand like men to our undertak
ing and be careful how we run our
credit system. We have adopted
temporary trade houses to some ex
tent, yet, if we don’t watch ourselves
we will be as tightly oppressed the
coming tall as we ever were. Sup
pose we take a trade house and our
standing, and make an illustration,
and see if we are not running with
too much patience, a race that is
detrimental to us. Say we are far
mers buying our supplies on mort
gaged farms and crops, given our
trade house merchants, as we call
them, 33’- per cent, for all we use
in gathering and making our crops.
We buy our corn of them at 75 cts.
per bushel. Mind you, they have
bound us in the start. In the fall,
we carry up our cotton like brave -
and honest men. Our accounts are
not settled. “Well, Mr. Merchant,
what are you going to allow us for
corn to balance our accounts?” The
kind-hearted merchant will say:
“Well, I don’t want your corn. I’d
rather have the money; but, as you
haven’t got it, and I’m compelled to
meet my creditors soon, I’ll have to
take the corn and allow you market
price for it.” “Well, Mr. Merchant;
what is the market price it?” This
is about what he will say—“I’m giv
ing fifty cents a bushel,” and if we
insist upon his giving more, telling
him corn is quoted from 55 to GO cts.
per bushel in the papers, lie will po
litely say, “l>y the time you buy
your sacks and pay the freight no
your corn, you won’t get 50 cents
for it.
Now, brethren,what are we to do ?
Mr. Merchant has the inside track.
He will take the corn, won’t buy
any sacks for it nor ship it either.
Now, brethren, we giye him one
bushel and a half ot corn for one
bushel of the very same corn we
sold to him last year, which you see
is 50 per cent, instead of 33} 3 per
cent, but my brethren, this doesn’t
end the chapter yet, we very often
have given to us inferior corn made
in the West, kiln dried, or corn that
is not fully matured and it is really
injurious to stock and us, too.
The Alliance has made a good be
ginning towards planting more
corn and raising provisions at home
and it is hoped we will be able to
carry our own barn and smoke
house keys before many years and
stop this off-handed monopoly busi
ness. Brethen, I say, be careful
how you run the credit system.
Better make out 011 common clothes
and coarse living generally than to
run in our same old ruts of oppres
sion. The little ones may not have
that which their little appetites call
for, the old lady may be a little
fretted and not so pleasant as we
would like. She may accuse you
of not being like other men because
she is not humored to a new dress,
fruit jars, or something that she
fancies would please the children;
but brethren, we had better hear it
with tear-washed cheeks, for we
will feel that we are better men by
so doing, we will be more independ
ent men, and let us remember, God
knows that the cries and wants of
of our little ones, and they are the
cause of our moistened cheeks, and
while we are endeavoring to show
our manhood, and secretly wipe our
tear-washed cheeks, He looks in
pitying compassion and says:—
“Blessed is he who holdeth out
faithful to the end and faint not,
for great is his reward.”
Brethren we must not accuse the
merchants for these things, they
are only mistakes of ours. Let me
exhort the brotherhood to observe
these errors of ours, and act accord
ingly. The merchant will have to
take the outside of the track and
give up the inside to us. Let us
not be too hasty or hostile in boy
cotting the mercantile world, but
keep our eyes on our opposers, and
those who wish to cast slurs on our
order by saying they are not anx-
ios for our time trade. Let’s stand
shoulder to shoulder, as a unit, and
show to the world our earnestness
to serve our wives and children as
men, and be assured the Lord will
over help those who help them
selves. Success to the order.

! known.
