and about ten bales of cotton. In
cluded in this loss was the gin and

work of an incendiary. There

Carried to tiie Asylum.
Mr. A. G. Hardwick has been a
resident of Augusta for several
years. His relatives in this city has
had him with them for some days,
believing that lie exhibited signs of
insanity. The sypmtoms growing
more alarming on Thursday, he was
taken before the ordinary and was
adjudged insane. His brother-in-
law, Marshal Zorn, on yesterday
carried him to the asylum nearMil-
ledgeville.
Hint Will the Waynesboro Boys Do!
The governor has signed the bill
prohibiting the sale of cigars, tobac
co, and cigarettes to minors. What
will tlie young America of Waynes
boro do? Their manhood will not
tolerate this deprivation of this im
mense luxury. The legislature and
Gov. Gordon are treading on dan
gerous ground. The “hope of our
county” is putting on heavy daubs
of paint, and will soon start out on
the war path.
Bligh’s Crystal Palace.
Bligh’s Crystal Palace, SO!) Broad
street, is the “thing of beauty,” of
Augusta, and no visitor to this live
city, should go away without in
specting this establishment, full to
overflowing with the useful and
ornamental. Drives are being made
on many lines of goods, and his
prices are surprisingly low, and one
of the handsomest stocks of crock
ery to be seen south of Baltimore.
Don’t forget to call on Bligh.
Cash Furniture House.
Mr. E. G. Rogers, of Augusta, has
for a number of years been a leader
in the sale of handsome furniture.
His large warerooms are stocked
from cellar to garret, and confining
himself strictly to cash, enables him'
to price his goods at the very lowest
margins. He is able, willing and
anxious to serve the public, confident
that his goods and prices will give
satisfaction. He has an advertise
ment in our paper to-day, and we
ask our readers attention to it.
Goo<l Farming.
Judge R. T. Jones on last Satur
day sold, of his own raising, some
300 pounds of country hams and a
large can of lard. Judge Jones
raises all his provisions, and its a
“rainy day” on his farm when he
has not some home products for
sale. Such men are indeed the
back bone of the farming commu
nity, and if such an example were
more generally imitated, the farm
ers of Georgia would not be out at
the elbows, and abusing the whole
world for taking advantage of then-
necessities.
An experienced Cotton shipper.
Mr. Seabrook, of Savannah, will
be a resident ot Waynesboro for
several months. Lie comes here
to assist Mr. G. W. Dwelle in buy
ing and shipping cotton for foreign
ports, Mr. Dwelle will buy the cot
ton, Mr. Seabrook will classify and
and forward samples, and attend
to all those complicated duties that
an expert in the cotton business
can only learn from long exped
ience. There will be no second
handling needed in Savannah and
1 the purchases at this place will go
direct to their destination.
A. J. Gouley.
Mr. A. J. Gouley, the great shoe
dealer, of Augusta, takes a pride in
acknowledging the soubriquet of
“old reliable” as regards bis man
agement of his large boot and shoe
house. He carried off the first prize
at the Great Augusta National Ex
position, and the price and style of
goods are a better advertisement
than a whole army of drummers,
more especially the class known as
the city drummer. He is a general
favorite with the people of Burke
county, and your careful attention
is directed to his advertisement in
this issue.
Waynesboro Academy Hots.
We were all anxious to get to
school on Monday to see whose
names would be on the weekly roll
of honor. There was a large num
ber of girls enrolled, but the num
ber of boys, I am sorry to say, was
not equal to that of the girls. I
wonder why it is that the girls are
the winners in almost any contest?
Well, may be it was because there
were a larger number of girls than
boys this time.
We are now reading the lives of
the children in the Bible. We have
finished the stories about Ishmael,
Isaac and Joseph. Our teacher has
us to read these hoping that we
will profit by the lessons which
they teach.
One of the new scholars received
this week was on her way to the
Wesleyan Female College at Macon,
but atier visiting our school, and
seeing how it was conducted, liked
it so much she decided to remain
here. We were delighted to wel
come her.
Mrs. Palmer visited the school on
Wednesday and remained until af
ter the morning exercises were
oyer. The next time you see her
ask her what she thinks of our
school.
The scholars continue to bring in
pictures and vases filled with flow
ers, which brighten the school room
wonderfully.
Our teacher gives us “Queer
Queries” every day, and I am sure
it would puzzle the wisest of you to
answer some of them. I will ask
you a few: What animal has eyes
on the end of its horns? What
animal walks on his head ? Who
was the lather of history? How
can you tie a knot in a bone?
To-day we are to have something
enjoyable as well as instructive: a
battle class in geography. The boys
are to be arrayed against the girls.
If you have never taken part in one
of these battles, you cannot know
how exciting, pleasant and improv
ing they are. Maybe our editor
next week will tell you which side
came off victorious.
New scholars are coming in every
day. We now have ninety-seven
names enrolled.
Next Friday afternoon, October
4th, will be devoted to recitations
and speaking by the pupils of the
academy. I am requested by the
principal to invite the trustees, pat
rons and friends of education to be
present on that occasion. The ex
ercises will begin at 1.30 p. m.

Died.
Died on Tuesday morning, a lew
miles from Waynesboro. on the
plantation of Judge J. B. Jones, of
typhoid fever, Ira Stewart. Mr.
Stewart had many friends in our
city. He began life as a clerk in
the store of Maj. Wilkins, and for
several years has given his atten
tion to fanning and the manage
ment of a store in the country. His
business brought him frequently to
Waynesboro, and he had the unlim
ited confidence of every one with
whom he had transactions. For
several years, the writer iiad al
most daily business- transactions
with him, and these relations were
ever of the most pleasant and sat
isfactory nature. A knowledge
of his methods brought about
an unbounded confidence in his hon
esty, His word was as good as his
bond, and one ran no risk in taking
Lis verbal statement, and could
feel all the while that only the most
satisfactory results would flow from
any business intercourse. He was a
successful farmer and looked close
ly after his affairs. Judging from
his daily walk and conduct, his rule
of life would impress one that his
motto was “to liye and let live.”
He kept his business well in band,
and in all his transactions there
never cropped out the slightest
tendency to overreach or to make
use of any advantage that did not
legitimately belong to him. He
was an honest man, and a good
citizen, and though he aspired only
to pursue his even way on the un
pretentious thoroughfare of life yet
his example was a treasure to any
community, and his death makes a
void which only the very few out of
the great many can fill.
—I pride myself in keeping noth
ing but tlie best of everything for
my customers. Jno. P. Hall.
A Tempting Display.
Mr. John P. Hall is daily making
additions to his store, and with
every addition there are fresh
attractions. The outside appear
ance is getting to be a thing of
beauty, but the inside is undoubted
ly “a joy forever.” In making a
tour of our business street this
morning, we tarried a while at
this growing establishment and
found the proprietor and several as
sistants hard at work, making
heavy efforts to wait on the crowd
of customers. The mouth of The
Citizen watered, and the empty
void under the lower part of his
vest had a sudden awakening, as
the many sights of “good eating”
came within view. There were
over 2,000 lbs. of Iresh meats from
Georgia and Tennessee. Imported
onions, Irish potatoes,Western saus
ages, huge heads of tempting cab
bages, Jersey buttter, eggs, teas, cof
fees and last, but not least, the whit
est, crispest sort of celery from the
celebrated gardens of Kalamazoo.
There were also fruits, cool refresh
ing soda water, and sparkling apple
cider, without a drop of the intoxi
cating element. We might continue
the inventory of what we saw, but
even the writing about such tempt
ing edibles, sharpens the appetite
to such an extent, that the mind
must be called off to other less in
viting subjects, else we would be
forced to shut up shop and go forag
ing. One thing we must say, the
subst&ntials and the luxuries are all
at Hall’s in great profusion and end
less variety.

Tile Chronicle Mistaken.
Waynesboro is only 32 miles from
Augusta, and Its citizens feel an in
terest in its prosperity and would
not in any way detract from its
mcrito. Though we feel that we are
just beyond the corporate limits of
Augusta, we are to some extent
“toteting our own skillet,” and feel
that our merchants are able to take
care of themselves and their custo
mers. We have no objection to any
boom that the Chronicle may set on
foot for the benefit of Augusta pro
vided its zeal docs not run away
with its judg meat and cause it to
disparage the business of its out
side suburbs by disparaging their
facilities. In last Sundays issue P.
A. S. says, “between Augusta and
Waynesboro the rates;are|ten;cents a
hundred irt our favor, this amounts
to } B cent a pound. This and the fad
that these points are nearer to Au
gusta, and that cotton can be
handled and sold much more
promptly than when shipped oil - ,
brings up several thousand bales
from Burke that once went to Sa
vannah, cotton is shipped from
Millen and other points South right
through Waynesboro to Augusta.”
The article then goes-on to give the
Augusta and Savannah market
quotations, making the prices alto
gether in fayor of Augusta.
The man who ships his cotton
“right through Wayhesboro to Au
gusta,”’ either is ignorant of his best
interest or having business connec
tions in Augusta which enables him
during the spring and summer to
obtain advances, this necessitates
the shipment of his cotton to make
good such advances. We have no
desire to build up Savannah at the
expense of Augusta, but inasmuch
as our merchants handle nearly all
the cotton made in the legitimate
reach of Waynesboro, and they
ship to Savannah, it behooves us
to give the reasons therefor. The
quotations of the two cities don’t
amount “to a row of pins,” for in
giving prices the classifications or
grades differ. “The proof of the
pudding is chewing the bag.” Au
gusta’s quotations so P. S. A. says
are higher than Savannah’s, and its
rates of freight gives it the further
advantage ofof a cent, and yet
the merchants of Waynesboro find
it decidedly to their interest to ship
to Savannah. Augusta cotton buy
ers have been to Waynesboro and
after looking over the situation
have gone back home convinced
that they would loose money even
if our merchants would turn over
every day their purchases to them
at the prices they paid. The writer
himself while buying cotton in
Waynesboro have had representa
tives of tiie largest cotton firms in
Augusta to stand by and after see
ing his prices remark that they
would not take the days purchase
at the prices paid. Now and then
our merchants have tried the Au
gusta market, and the results have
always deterred them from a sec
ond experience.
The prices paid by our Waynes
boro merchants are relatively high
er than the markets of either Sa
vannah or Augusta. Last year a
buyer for shipment to eastern mills
and foreign markets, tried this
market, and the high prices he was
forced to pay caused him to with
draw after a heavy loss. This sea
son there are buyers on hand
watching the market ready to buy
when they can do so on a safe mar
gin, but up to date the merchants
have bought every bale, at such
prices that buyers don’t dare ven
ture to tackle. We are not advoca
ting or tlefending the policy of our
merchants buying t^e cotton of
their customers at a loss. They
doubtless are willing to “loose in the
jig hoping to make up in the reel.”
We speak by the card when we say
that nearly every bale that goes
to Augusta from or near the
Waynesboro station belongs .either
to some resident of Augusta who
owns a plantation in Burke, or
from some farmer who having re
ceived advances in Augusta has
promised the shipment of his crop,
or from some farmer who owes
money in Waynesboro and is dodg
ing its payment, or from some iso
lated freedman who wants his jug
of whisky and slips off a bale of cot
ton from the sale of which he gets
the money to enable him to make
his purchase and take in the city.
Up to date Waynesboro has receiv
ed over 4,000 bales, and of this num
ber only 40 has gone to Augusta.
While our merchants are forced to
consult their interest by shipping
their cotton to Savannah, yet on
this account they feel no antago
nism to Augusta. Towards Au
gusta the kindest and nearest rela
tions of friendship ana business ex
ist. The hotel arrivals in Augusta
daily show that a good per cent, of
travelling custom comes from Burke
county. A very large number of
t(\wn and country people whenever
they fail to make their purchases in
Waynesboro, go straight to Augusta.
Tiie True Citizen has a strong
hankering after Augusta, but this
brotherly feeling does not overshad
ow the interest we feel for our own
bailiwick. We don’t love Ctesar
less—only love Brutus more.

Has Helflrncil.
Our would he evil genius from
Ohio is again in our midst, She re
peats her visitation lor the same
old purpose to teach by precept
and example that social equality
should be practiced in Waynesboro.
She comes ostensibly as a teacher
for colored children, and in her
zeal to teach the children she takes
up her abode with the parents; car
rying out the thoughts of the poet
when he said “would that I were
with thee every day and hour.”
The sentiment of the people of
Waynesboro has all the time been
that this emissary should not
come among us, and last spring
when she applied for a pro rata
part of the public school lund, she
and her backers were made to un
derstand very plainly that both
she and her admirers would be
benefitted by her remaining at
home among her own people, to
take that position which her way
of life warranted. The people of
Waynesboro were led to believe
by representations from the colored
admirers, that the parties North
who were sending her would be re
quested to keep her at home, and
not aid in stirring up race dissei -
sions. But like Cataline who feel
ing that lie had “wrongs enough to
stir the fevered blood of age,” she
goes and she returns, and sits at
naught the traditions of our people,
and defies the irrevocable and un-
changable sentiments of the South.
Doubtless she carries about with
her the material out of which mar
tyrs are made, and for the further
ance of the pet schemes ot those
who send her here, she would sew
the wind, hoping thereby to gain
the glory of reaping the whirlwind.
The people of Waynesboro would
keep alive only the kindest rela
tions with the colored people, and
hence they would prefer that no
such entangling alliances should be
contracted. The people of Waynes
boro have naught but the kiudest
feeling to the people of northern
birth, and whenever they come to
them as friends their doors of wel
come will be thrown wide open.
To illustrate this idea, the trustees
of the Waynesboro Academy select
ed as one of their assistants a lady
who was borne In the state of New
York, and until her recent coming
here, had been employed for twelve
years a teacher at Cohoes, New
York. She is of course respected
and has been everywhere received
with a warm welcome.
There is no sense and less policy
in the attempt of the negro to war
against the inevitable. With the
exception of a few crazy cranks,
and some ultra politicians just on
the eve of an election, when it
comes to social equality, they will
ever be regarded as a peculiar peo
ple. The lion and the lamb may
be taught to lie down together, but
before social equality will be prac
ticed in Georgia “the Ethopian
must change his skin and the leo
pard his spots.”
—Scherer has undoubtedly the
finest cigar in the city. Try them.
C. J. iloonpj Si Co.
The card of of C. J. Rooney & Co.,
manufacturers and jobbers in boots,
shoes, hats, trunks, umbrellas in this
issue calls the attention of the out
side world to the kind of business
they carry on in Augusta. To any
one who has recently been to Au
gusta these remarks do not apply,
for a mere glance at the large and
business like interior of this im
mense establishment tells with
much more emphasis what they
are doing than any amount of la
bored discription on our part.
They are live men, and thoroughly
understand their business. They
have made the wants and tastes of
their customers their study, and
having every facility, with every
advantage that experience and
capital can furnish, their efforts to
please are every time successful.
Believing that a large crop.and good
prices will this season increase the
wants of their territory, they
have added largely to their stock of
goods and are fully prepared and
determined to down competition.
We are anxious that the people of
Burke county should '.get bargains
in all their purchases. Ifthey will
follow our advice in this instance,
we are confident that one visit to
this live establishment, if they will
bear in mind that they went there
on our recommendation, will make
them, if for no other reason, feel
fully compensated for their years

er’s. The name of the negro is
Green Howell, and he is highly
respected by all who know,him both
white and colored. Well, now for
the the interesting part of this
sketch. Green is 52 years old, and
once, he was as black as any of the
15th amendments, and now he is
nearly white all over. Shortly after
the close of the late war, two small
white spots about the size of a nickle
appeared on his wrist about two
inches apart and they remained for
a short time and disappeared, and
nothing more was thought of it till
1884, when they returned in the
same place, and have been spread
ing since that time, and now he is
spotted all over and in a tew years
he will be white all over. He does
not suffer any pain from the spots
and he says the only inconvenience
he experiences is from the sun and
it causes them to blister. Now, Mr.
Editor, if you and those who read
this wish to see him, we will get
up a 10-eent side show and come
down to see you.

the 19th and on the morning of the
20th, she was a corpse. To her be

Prof. Robert L. Palmer is now
the teacher for Ireland academy

intelligent gentle man from Atlan

making a gallant but unsucccess-

there not been on organization ef

coming, his efforts would have been
successful.

more enterprise than honor some
times offer substitutes and urge
they are just as good. Ask for Frog
Pond and have no other.
