About 12 o’clock Friday night,
15th Inst., news was received in
Waynesboro that Elbert Steward,
koown as “Shorty.” a colored man
who attends to the fish pond at the
old Gordon Mill site, for a club in
this city, had been found murdered
near his home, a short distance
from the pond.
Examination showed that he
had been isiassiia ed while or
his way to a well near by to get a
bucket of water—for a bucket
was still on his his arm. He was
found lying on his face, with an ax
by his side, a gash in the upper sidt
of his head that penetrated to the
brain, and two other severe contu
sions on his head.
Robbery is supposed to have been
the object of the brutal murderer,
as Elbert was in the habit of saving
his earnings, which he is said to
have carried in a small sack at
tached to a string around his neck.
This sack was gone when he wa?
found. No clew has yet been found
as to who committed the deed.
Coroner Wetherhahn held an in
quest over the remains, and th«
jury returned a verdict that Elbert
Stewart’s death was caused by tin
blows on his head and that the
same was murder, committed b\
some one unknown to the jury.

A Host Delicate Apparatus.
One of the most delicate pieces of
apparatus is that used for counting
the number of cells in the blood.
Medical scholars tell us that in a
minute drop of blood no larger than
the head ot a pin there are from
three to lour million of these red
cells, In health there are a certain
number in a certain amount of
blood; while in certain dieeases, as
anemia, this number is greatly de
ficient, causing pale cheeks, white
lips, transparant ears, and great de
bility. The delicate apparatus has
proven over and aver again that
Scott’s Emulsion increases these
red corpuscles faster than any other
known preparation, thus curing or
or preventing the many diseases
and conditions caused by thin, poor
blood.

tins. This was a great piece of en
terprise on the part of the telephone
companies and was appreciated by

Neglect is the short step so many
take from a cough or cold to con
sumption. The early use of One
minute Cough Cure prevents con
sumption. It is the only harmless
-remedy that gives immediate re
sults. It cures all throat and lung
troubles. Children all like it and
mothers endorse it.

BASEBALL,
The First Game For The Boys—A Record
Breaker.
On Thursday afternoon the Y. M.
C.A’s.,of Augusta, crossed bats with
tbe Waynesboro team on the Way
nesboro diamond. The Augustians
went down with a score of ten to
two against them. The game was
characterized by the Tennesseeans
work in the box, only giving 6 bits
and leaving 14 at the plate, with
three fans to their credit. Quinney
played as usual, getting a two bag
ger and two singles, scoring four
of the the ten runs. We are glad'
to see Jones improving. Foster al
so got a two bagger which scored
two for our boys.
Brannen maintained his past re
cord by playing an errorless game,
A. Outlaw in short followed suit.
The Augusta boys played hard bui
Palmer was too much for them.
Augusta would have been shut out
out the ceuterfielder interferred
with the leftfielder which allowed
the visitors to score.
Following is the score by inniDgs:
Augusta, 00000200 0 2
W aynesboro 10102051 0 10
The Augusta team was composed
of a clever set ot young men, who
took their defeat gracetuiiy.
The Waj nesboro club expect to
play a return game at Augusta
Tuesday next, and we hope for an
other yictory. Waynesboro will
probably play Washington on Wed
nesday and Athens Thursday.
If our club receives the encour
agement at home they will give us
good games during the season with
the best clubs of the state.
The club will be strengthened b>
the additional of several good men.
To Rebuild Haven Normal School.
Mr.Editors True Citizen-.—Please
allow me to call the attention of the
citizens of Waynesboro and Burke
county to the report of Freeman’s
Aid Cammittee at tbe General con
ference held at Chicago, 111., in May
last. viz.
“In answer to the memorial of
James Jackson and R. H. JohnstoD,
ot the Savannah Conference, con
cerning the Haven Academy at
Waynesboro, Ga., the committee re
ports as follows, to-wit: It appears
that the Haven Academy was built
by the Freedmen’s Aid and South
ern Education Society, with sub
stantial help from the local commu
nity; that said Academy burned
down several years ago; that the
Freemen’s Aid and Southern Edu
cation Society had insurance ot $3,-
5U0 on said Academy, which has
been kept as a seperate fund to tbe
present time, and that the same lo
cal community is willing to assist
In the rebuilding of a new structure
to the amount of $1,500. We there
fore recommend to the favorable
consideration of the Board of Man
agers this proposition and suggest
that as soon as the way is clear this
school be rebuilt.”
Joseph Pullman,
Chairman.
R. S. Lovinggood,
Secretary.”
The report will explain itself. But
I desire to call your attentions to
this tempting offer. When we raise
$1,500 they will spend $5,000
here for labor and material, ana
give us annual aid, besides prepare
a race for the responsibilities of life
Elevate Burke’s colored citizens, to
nobler citizenship, and does away
with the idea of emigration or colo
nization, but educate and work our
destines out.
Now to our white friends, Any
amount that you will give us will
be greatfully received. We know
that you will help us, for you have
always done your part, we would
be glad for you to respond. Several
leading citizen who aae hearing ot
the liberal offer have volunteered
to help us out. Remember when
we raise $1,500, $5,000 will be availa
ble to start our Academy work.
We have had to turn the “tide”
that seemed at one time against us.
Now the “tide” is in our favor. Let’s
white and colored all pull together
and rebuild this academy at once.

experience with a carpenter in his
employ, that will be of value to oth

carpenter working for me who was
obliged to stop work for several
days on occount of being troubled
with Diarrhoea. I mentioned to him
that I had been similarly troubled

To be popular or rather to be
sought after is a conceit that is
inherent in the make-up of mor
tal beings. Even the dirtiest bum
has a desire to be popular among
his companions ; and to be thus
sought after, oue must surely ^
excel in some quality whethe"'
good or bad.
Popularity derived from th£
excellence in some noble quality"
is to be commended, while on
the other hand excellence and
pre-eminence in some bad or
evil quality, is to be in a like
manner deplored.
Some sorts of popularity de
pend largely upon deceit and
like the house built upon the
sand it cannot withstand the
storms of adversity, nor the
winds of trouble.
This is specially true of popu
larity in ultra society, where
the devotees ■ smile and smile
upon each other, lisp honeyed
w< rds to ready, listening ears,
and below 7 the horizon of exter
nal appearance there rages the
throttled storm of jealousy and
hate.
Again, popularity in political
life denote despoiled enemies,
crushed friends and enemies,
changed to iriends and vice
versa.
Give to us the friendship of
the common, plain people ; and
political office, riotous living,
frivolous gayety and social
prominence may fall to the lot
of those who adore such things.
A happy, clean life, not too good
--not too bad: a life of ease
and comfort with a clear con
science to our fellow man is a
life we covet. No worldly hon
ors, not too rich, not too poor too
poor to enjoy life—not too en
thusiastic over its joys—not too
despondent over its cares and
that’s what w 7 e want. Make all
happy that we can and love our
neighbor as well as possible.
Isn’t that better than striying
after the vanities and vexations
of this world of sorrow and
pain? Why some men cannot
concede to other men their just
right to think and act as they
chcose so long as their thoughts
and deeds do not interfere with
the individual rights of others
we can’t understand. If a man
does not choose to pretend to be
igious when he is not and
thus[act a hypocrite, what mortal
is there to judge him.
