Come ye jute men from the city,
And listen to a simple ditty,
While I unfold, in words of truth,
How we have downed—both warp and woof—
5 our trust on jute, and brought it into
disrepute.
This old jute trust is bound to bust,
Tlie farmers all abuse it.
And all unite to whip the fight;
They never more will use it.
“The goose hung high” and all went well
With eottonmen until tlie spell
The jutemen broke. At one fell stroke
They killed tlie goose; the trust they broke.
This trust on jute, and brought it into
disrepute.
This old jute trust, etc.
Foul smelling goose, now laid away,
^ our golden eggs, which day by day,
"ion might have laid, can now no more
Increase the jute man’s hoarded store.
5 ou’re dead, old jute, and ever more in
disrepute.
This old jute trust, etc.
A few old soreheads here and there.
Now paw the earth and beat the air.
And yell and screech, “tlie tare, the tare;”
But try in vain to raise a scare.
They think they’re cute, but all their
braying can’t save jute.
This old jute trust, etc.
In lions’ skins they are arrayed,
And pass’d for lions, ’til! they—brayed —
Then we knew each long-eared brute
Had sold himself to "whoop up” jute.
“He! Haw!” they cry, “’Kre’s yer cheap
jute, you’d better buy.”
This old jute trust, etc.
We’re glad, dear jute, this Shylock ring 1
Makes it so plain “cotton is king.”
Farewell, old friend, a last farewell!
The trust has rung your funeral knell.
This trust on jute has given cotton groat
repute.
This old jute trust, etc.
No more the Southland’s crops shall be
Wrapped up in jute, for they are free!
In fleecy cloth we’ll wrap each bale
Which cotton tanners raise for sale.
Oh! blessed day, when grasping trust men
raised the fray.

as to be able to take every advant-

advantage of his neighbor, but the
average legislator thinks that the
“state can do no wrong.”
Mr. E. A. Copeland, of Greens

citizen. As a merchant he accu
mulated a large fortune, and now
realizing that his town needs a

Augusta, Ga., Sept. 17th 1889.
Jerri/ T. Smith, Esq., Chairman
Executive Committee Democratic
Party Columbia County, Appling,
Ga.
Dear Sib—Yours of the sixteenth
instant reached me this evening. I
hasten to say that I am already un
der engagements which will pre
vent my being in Appling on Tues
day ot courfr week. But if I were
there, I would decline to make an
address on politics at this time.
The acceptance of one invitation of
this kind would necessarily co npel
me to accept others. This might
involve the surrender of my entire
time, in tlie short interval between
now and the assembling of con
gress, a large part ot which is neces
sarily given to the proper prepara
tion of those duties soon to devolve
on me. In my judgment it is
doubtful whether discussion be
tween aspirants for Democaatic
nominations can be of service at
any time to the Democratic party.
We had enough ot this in the Gor
don and Bacon canvass. In a can
vass for a nomination for a Federal
office the dissension which would
follow would be of greater evil, be
cause in Federal elections party
harmony is of far greater conse
quence. In any event I am fully
persuaded neither the interest of
the party nor the country require
of me a political speech bearing on
an election which does not take
place until November, 1890, at this
time. What I will do in the future,
ihe future will determine. Such be
ing my judgment I shall j»ursue the
course herein indicated.
Yours truly,
Geo. T. Barnes.

All honest, conscientious physicians who
give B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) a trial,
frankly admit its superiority over all other
blood medicines.
I)r. W. J. Adair, Rockmart, Ga., writes:
“I regard B. B. B. as one of the best blood
medicines.”
Dr. A. H. Roseoe, Nashville,Tenn., writes:
“All reports of B. B. B. are favorable, and
its speedy actions is truly wonderful.”
Dr. J. W. Rhodes, Crawfordville, Ga.,
writes: “I confess B. B. B. is tlie best, and
quickest medicine for rheumatism I bave
ever tried.”
Dr. S. J. Farmer, Crawfordville Ga.,
writes: “I cheerfully recommed B. B. B.
as a fine tonic alterative. Its use cured an
excrescence of the neck after other remedies
effected no perceptible good.”
Dr. C. II. Montgomery, Jacksonville, Ala.,
writes: “My mother insisted on my get ting
B. B. B. for her rheumatism, as her ease
stubbornly resisted the usual remedies She
experienced immediate relief and her im
provement has been truly wonderful.”
A prominent physician who wishes his
name not given, says: “A patient of mine
whose ease of tertiary syphilis was surely
killing him, and whicli no treatment seemed
to check, was entirely cured with about
twelve bottles of B. B. B. lie was fairly
made up of skin and hones and terrible
ulcers.”

Wharton, Sept. 17.—A discovery
of immense scientific interest has
recently been made near this place
—a discovery which it is thought
will add a hithderto unknown ele
ment to the sixty-five already
familiar to the chemist. Chudleigh
Mason, a prominent cotton planter
living about five miles from town,
while boring an artesian well on
his place, struck water a few days
ago at a depth of 215 feet. A pow
erful stream was thrown up with
a loud report and a slight tremb
ling of the surrounding earth. Mr.
Mason, in order to test the quality
of the water, drank a glass of it,
and the negro workmen also crowd
ed about and drank freely of the
water, which was found to be very
cold and good, though possessed
of a slight unfamiliar flavor, which
was, however, not disagreeable.
Within a quarter of an hour, or
even less, after drinking the water,
Mr. Mason began to feel strange
twitchings in the muscles of the
face, and his workmen also com
menced to complain of the same
sensation. This twitching soon ex
tended to the arms and legs, in
creasing all the while in violence,
until at last the negroes cast them
selves down, crying that they had
been conjured and rolled about on
the ground shrieking aloud and
writhing with the hideous contor
tions of the face and body 7 . As the
jerking and jumping of the muscles
of the limbs grew more and more
violent all hands sprang up . and
joined in a wild, uncontrollable
dance, or rather hopping up and
down like so many disturbed frogs.
Mr. Mason, describing his sensa
tions, says that he was conscious of
a feeling of great exhilaration and
an increased acuteness of every
sense. The sight of the leaping
negroes, who were too frightened
to realize that they were suffering
only from fear, and their cries and
shrieks provoked him to bursts of
laughter that sounded almost man
iacal. Mrs. Mason, seeing her hus
bands extraordinary behavior, be
came alarmed, and running
out, attempted to hold him down,
but though he endeavored to assEt
her by clinging with all his strength
to a post, it was found impossible
to restrain him.
This dance was kept up until
sheer exhaustion caused the in
voluntary participants to fall pros
trate to the earth, where they lay
and klc'ied for some minutes, after
which they fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was the heavy, dream
less slumber that follows intoxica
tion, and lasted for several hours,
but left them with clear heads and
no evil consequences beyond a sore
ness of the back and limbs and a
pain iu the face resembling neu
ralgia, which, however, soon passed
away.
Mr. Mason sent a jug of the water
to Houston to have it analyzed, but
the chemists of that city profess
themselves at a complete loss to
account for one of the elements
entering into the composition of
the water, and give as their unani
mous opinion that it may be added
to the number of known elements
as a Gfith. This element imparts
to the water a beautiful bright blue
tinge, of a metallic luster, and gives
It a taste more like that of fresh
cider than anything else. When
the water is heated this element
passes off in a colorless gas of a
most agreeable oder resembling the
perfume of tube roses, only more
penetrating and pungent, and so
powerful that a gallon of the water
simmering over a slow fire will
render a whole house fragrant for
hours. Taken from the well and
left to stand, however, the water
loses its beautiful blue color and
thickens to the consistency of tur
pentine, with a faint greenish tinge
and will, when drunk or inhaled
produce violent nausea and vomit
ing, accompanied by a swimming
in the head and a failure of the
sight and hearing, which lasts for
hours.
The negroes about have cristened
the well “devil’s water” and regard
it with superstitious awe, and with
one exception, cannot be prevailed
upon to even approach it. • The ex
ception is an old darkey familiarly
known as Uncle Deuce, who is ac
tually becoming a confirmed drunk
ard on the water, on which he in
dulges in a daily spree in spite of
all attempts to keep him trom
drinking it. He claims that he
feels younger and spryer after each
dance. Many of the crowds that
come daily from all parts of the
country, and even from adjacent
ones, to visit the well have the cu
riosity to tase the water to judge of
its singular quality for themselves
and it is curious to obserye the dif
ferent ways in which it affects in
dividuals; for while the twitching
ol the nerves and muscles and the
uncontrollable propensity to dance
are common to all, the affect on the
minds of different persons is of end
less variety.
One man will shout for joy,betray
ing all the abandonment of a child;
another will weep with a gentle,mel
ancholy. A third will sing hymns
and perhaps a fourth at the same
time will be praying aloud. Your
correspondent found himself recit
ing whole pages of blank verse from
the different poets that he had been
unconscious of having retained in
his memory. The effect on the
spirits is delightful in the extreme,
a feeling of exhilaration and light
ness pervading the whole system,
and the senses take on an acuteness
and refinement that is most re
markable. By the advice of Prof.
Deiciistag, one of the ablest chem
ists qf Houston, a hermetically
sealed jar of this wonderful liquor
has been forwarded to tlie Society
of Chemists and Pharmacists in
New York for their careful analy-
zation, which process, when com
pleted, he is confident will confirm
his opinion ot the value and unique
ness of the discovery.

Complete and Permanent.
In the early part of last year I
had a violent attack of rheumatism,
from which I was confined to my
bed for over three months, and at
times was unable to turn myself in
bed or even raise the cover. A nurse
had to be in constant attendance
day and night. I was so feeble that
what little nourishment I took had
to be given me with a spoon. I
was in constant agony, and sleep
was entirely out of the question ex
cept when I was under the influence
of opiates.
After calling in the best local
physicians, and trying, all other
medicines without receiving any
benefit, I was induced by friends to
try Swift’s Specific (S. S. S). I
discontinued all other medicines,
and took a course of S. S. S.—thir
teen small bottles—which effected
a complete and permanent cure.

Mr. C. B. McLemore, a prominent
and influential citizen ot Hender
son, Texas, writes under the date
of August 23d 1889, as follows:
“For eighteen months I had an
eating sore on my tongue. I was
treated by the best local physicians,
but obtained no relief, the sore
gradually growing worse. I con
cluded finally to try S. S. S., and
was entirely cured alter using a
few bottles.
You have my cheerful permission
to publish the above statement for
the benefit of those similarly
afflicted.

Augusta, Me., Sept. 19th.—An
Augusta lady who has seen the wed
ding trousseau of Miss Anita Mc
Cormick, Emmons Blaine’s fiancee,
says it is one of tlie most elegant
and expensive outfits ever owned
by an American bride-elect. Lace
is Miss McCormick’s special luxury,
and upon it she has spent thousands
of dollars, so that every piece is cov
ered with cascades of the most ex
quisite webs from all parts of Eu
rope where lace is made. She has
a fancy for white underclothes, too,
and nearly every garment is of tlie
snowiest mull or silk, the only color
being furnished by the narrow-
ribbons running through the
laces, and in many instances the
ribbons are white also. Her bridal
garments are of white India silk,
trimmed with the most beautiful
Irish point, and this same point
trims one of the few’ tinted sets in
the trousseau—one of pale lemon
color, which also includes a silk pet
ticoat and satin corset.
The bridal stockings are of white
silk, embroidered with silver
thread, and there are other pairs of
white stockings embroidered in
gold and colors. This is a new fash
ion, introduced by Miss McCormick
who likes white stockings as well as
white underclothes, and who mailed
directions with her order to Paris
that instead of sending stockings of
a color to match each costume, they
should be white, embroidered with
silk the shade of the dress.
In cojunction with this liking for
W’hite, Miss McCormick had a fond
ness for the perfume of lilies, and
special satchets for the perfuming
of her garments have been sent
from Holland, the only place where
the perfumers have learned to im
part the odor of the lily to satchet
powder. The powder is inclosed in
white satin bags, edged with lace
and embroidered with lier mono
gram, and there are three dozen of
them for her different trunks
and boxes. Her opera cloak for
this winter is a heavy w’hite silk,
embroidered with gold and lined
from top to bottom w’ith the long
silky hair of the Persian lamb.

White Capa iu Montgomery County.
A special to the Macon Telegraph,
dated Sept. 23d, from Dublin, says:
A band of men called at the house
of Laura McLean, a colored woman
near Lothair in Montgomery coun
ty last night, and thrashed her se
verely. Laura bears a bad reputa
tion, and is very impudent to the
white people, insulting them at
every opportunity. Since her hus
band, Dennis McLean, has been in
carcerated in jail at Mount Vernon
for the Kersey murder, she has
been more insolent than ever. The
particulars of the whipping are as
follows: A number of men took
her out of her house and it is said
placed her across a log and admin
istered a whipping, which she will
remember tor some time to come.
The party then went to the house
of Ben Moseley, another negro, and
inquired for his daughter Eliza, but
she was not at home. She is the
girl that cursed and mistreated Mrs.
Kersey, a white woman, not long
ago. One of the negroes in the
Moseley house seemed bent on in
terfering with the mob, but being
informed that it would not be safe,
he retired. It is not known who
the parties were, and it is thought
the plot were laid in such a manner
that the perpetrators will hardly be
discovered. Of course the act is
condemned.

A Dog that Says Its Prayers.
A dog owned by II. C. Wheatly,
the chief cook of the convalescent
male department of the state in
sane asylum at Milledgeville, de
monstrates the wonderful sense of
a dumb brute where properly train
ed and managed. He is a young
pup, of low stock, and, in appear
ance, possesses nothing that would
indicate his phenomenal intellect.
Mr. Wheatly took him when only a
few weeks old and began carrying
him through a regular course of
training. He now has him under
complete control, as intelligent as a
child. He sends him on errands to
any one about the institution, or to
almost any place, the dog having
learned the places by name, and
obeying every instruction. He can
count and spell, and invariably, be

Republican Interference In tlie South Demanded.
Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 22.—
Yesterday was a great day with the
colored people of Martin’s Ferry,
Ohio, the occasion being the cele
bration of emancipation day. A
fine street parade and picnic were
features of the day. Prof. Henry
Lee, of Oberlin, Ohio, was the prin
cipal orator. In speaking of south
ern outrages he said, among other
things: “Isay that if the violence
done women and children, and the
burning of school houses and
churches, and the murder of de
fenceless men, and many other out
rages done to our people in the
South, be not prevented by the
strong arm of the administration,
not disapproved by a word of con
demnation from the party of our
choice, that the colored man’s devo
tion to the party of the present ad
ministration and the long suffering
and forbearance of our people may
be changed to hate and a striking
out in self-defence in some other
quarter. It is agreeable for us to
live in the party of the present ad
ministration, but if we are driven
from it by the utmost neglect and
disregard of our own rights by base
ingratitude, the blame will not be
ours. I see much hope for our peo
ple, although the clouds are lower
ing.”
