BRUNSWICK, - GEORGIA
SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13,1885.
MB. SHERMAN AGAIN.
The fate of the railroad bill, now
before the Legislature, is, at this
writing, still undecided.
Mr. J. J. Clny, a Macon under
taker, bus reduced the cost of dy
ing materially. He has cut rates on
carriages for fanemlb from $4 to $2,
Tbe people appreciate bis move.
Smallpox still rages in Canada, and
cholera in Spain, though the latter
seems to be on the wane. The latest
advices give 1,775 new cases and 660
denths as an average of a day’s vic-
tirna.
A worthless negro nnmed Black
man shot and killed Mr. S. T. Ton-
dee, of Ellaville, 6a., last Saturday
night. Tbe murdered stood in a cot
ton patch back of tbe store in which
Tuudee was clerking, and fired tbe
fatal shot.
The News and Advertiser, of Al
bany is do’Hg a great work for the
cause of education in that city.
Among their greatest needs is an
academy for boys. This the News
and Advertiser has set out to supply.
It raised $790 the first day.
Two more desperadoes gone. Tbe
L *«• brothers, o« Texas, were banled
I time dead tl.is week. They have
b 'cu . engaged in stealing cattle ond
taking them across the river into the
Indian Territory. The owners went
»■> hunt some of their stolen cnttle,
and found them in possession of these
fellows. A fight ensued, with the
above results
Tbe old adage that “a fool and bis
money nre soon parted,” bas again
proven true, as seen by the following,
from an exchange:
E. Berry Wall, a voung New York
roosrer, who bas a pair of "pants” for
every day in the yenr, and whose
gilded clothes have been the sensa
tion of New York "society'’ for sev
eral years, is now out of money. He
inherited a fortune of $300,000 from
his daddy, who was a rope twister.
A severe rate war is now going on
in railroad circles, in which the E. T.,
V. & G., tbe Western & Atlantic, and
the L. & N. nre taking part. The W.
& A. started by cutting rates 55 per
cent. The E. T., Y. <fcG. followed by
catting 60 per cent. Meanwhile tbe
traveling public, ns usual, laugh in
their sleeves and sny “Go it, boys, we
bet on the fellow that whips.”
The town o* Washington Court
House, Ohio, was swept from tho face
of tho earth on the 8th inst. by a cy
clone. Four thousand people were
made homeless, thousands of dollars
worth of property destroyed, and
numbers of lives lost.
The colored people of the South
are being infamously miarepresntod
at tbe North by one Senator John
Sherman. For political purposes he
is endeavoring to prove to the people
of tbe Northwest that tbe while men
of tbe South intimidate tbe colored
man at elections, add that he is not
allowed to vote as he wishes. Now,
tbe facts are this is au unvarnished
yarn, and Senator Sherman ongbt to
know that it is. If be would take the
trouble to visit tbe South be would
be convinced that he is telling nn
truths on tbe people of this section
He can’t find a colored man in Geor
gia, for instance, that is not entirely
free to vote as he pleases. Wbat
think ye of this, colored men
Glynn ? Mr. Sherman, a Republican,
says -of you that you cannot vote as
you please. What nonsense! We
would like to know anyway what
Southern politics has to do with elec
ting a Governor of Ohio. Let him
run on the live issnes of that State,
and not try to ring in the poor, abused
negro. And now that he finds his
party can’t control tho negro vote
any longer, be makes the following
threat in bis last speech at Lebanon,
Ohio:
If tbe policy of tbe past ia to be
pursued and there is no redress for
the colored people of tbe South for
these offenses committed under colur
State law, then under the fourteenth
amendment to tbe Constitntion we
may fairly appeal to all Northern
Stutes to stand together to reduce
the representation based upon tbe
colored vote, and on this question
Governor Hoadly ought to be where
be wb8 during the war.’’
Do you get the fall import of the
above threat, yo colored men of the
South ? It means that because he
oan’t control your vote tbe way he
wants it that tbe privilege shall be
taken away from yon. Bat, mark
you, the day he attempts that the
Democrats of tbe South—tbe only
true friend of the negro race—will
rally to the rescue and put a stop to
this little game of Mr. Sherman, the
would-be Governor of Ohio. Let the
negro alone, Mr. Sherman; look after
tho poor laborer in yonr own State-
lie needs your sympathy more than
does the Georgia negro.

PAT OFFICES.
The best paying office in Georgia is
the United States attorneyship for
tlie Northern District of Georgia,
which is hel-' by B. H. Hill, Jr. Tbe
district attorney is allowed $G,()00 a
year and $1,200 additional fora clerk.
His compensation depends on the fees
of the office, but they never fail to ex
ceed tbe allowance and a sting sum
is annually covered into the Federal
treasury. No other Federal office
pays ns well as the district attorney
ship. Tho collector of Internal Rev
enue gets about $4,000. The Mar
shal’s office is now worth about $5,'

$10,000 and $12,000 a year. The

Indian Spring, Ga.. Atig. 29, 1885.
Editor Aevxituix md Appeal:
This place, of all others, seems to
have been set aside by nature as n
summer resort. With a lavish band
she has adorned tbe Indian Spring
reserve with a wild, beautiful scenery
nowhere else to be fonnd in middle
Georgia. For three short weeks I
have been sojourning at the faraons
Elder House. This hotel is situated
on the brow of n wooded bill just
north of the ’island,’ near and beyond
which the spring is located. Passing
ont at tbe front entrance yon at once
find yourself in the midst of a shaded
grove. Following a winding path
way you soon encounter, on the right,
one, and on tbe left another neat two-
story cottage, which are adjuncts to
tbe Elder House. The hill which
now gradually descends to the creek,
has been formed into a very pretty
park, where large forest trees spread
their inviting shadows uronnd yon.
The oak, tbe poplar, the hickory, the
rich-feeding chestnut and the verdant
beech, in nil their pristine beauty, nre
here. Many comfortable rustic seals,
long benches, on which tbe weary
can recline, have been placed here
und there. Nearing the edge of this
grove you nre suddenly fronted by a
long wooden bridge, which seems to
bavo crawled partly up the hill, with
a view of meeting you. This bridge
continues tho inclined plane till
‘Sundy creek” is crossed, and (hen
extends some fifty yards across the
'island” to the spring. I wish it was
in my power to describe the lovely
scenery which here presents itself to
my enraptured gaze. Only a few
feet from tbe foot of the bridge, un
der the protecting shade of a great
spreading oak, nnd embedded in n
solid rock, is tbe famous Indian
Spring. Through a small crevice or
fissure in the rock, pours forth n lim
pid stream at the uniform rate of
sixty gallons per hoar, and empties
itself into a basin of an o ul shape, not
larger than a small boy’s Derby hat.
The bottom cf this basin, which was
formed by nature, is lined with a
white, moss-like substance caused by
the sulphur,' magnesia, and other
minerals with which this water is
highly impregnated. This wonder
ful freak of nature is certainly a great
curiosity. The rock from which this
life-giving water flows, forms a base of
a hill rising on steep and reeky preci
pices, nhout 150 feet tq its summit
To the left, aril almost in sight of tin
spring, a hold stream of water whips
its way dowu the hillside. In this
manner w great gulch is formed, thus
leaving a ledge of great, bold, rug
ged rocks over which pusses the rapid
water. The shcal thus formed is one
of the attractive features around the
spring. At the foot of this shoal the
two streams, “Big" and “Little” San
dy flow into each other.
On the top of the hill, nnd nt the
head of shoals, beyond the creek from
the spring, projecting its lofty peak
high above its numerous neighbors,
stands—and doubtless lor hundreds
of years has stood—the rock on which
Geueral McIntosh, the half-bred In
dian Chief, stood aud addressed his
vanquished warriors. This was in 1825.
At this time tbe;[property was ceded
by the Indinnsjto tho whites. Tradi
tion bus bunded down quite a roman
tic incident of these times, in which
the lovely duugbter of nn Indian
Chief and a bold young white warrior
figured conspicuously. This little in
teresting story has been told me, and
at some future time perhaps I will
give it to my readers.
Leaving the spring to the left a
narrow^ pathway follows “Little San
dy” for more than half a mile, wli re
you can drink from an ice-cold spring
and view the immense prop >rti a.s of
the famous “big tree.” “Lover’s Leap”
and other attractive features are se-n j
on this route. A snp.ih
only in yontb, and more easily in the
wilds of a deep forest. All these fen-
tares are attractive enongb in their
way; but tbBt which so macb claims
the attention of Southern Georgia, is
tbe fine climate nnd health-giving
water. The virtues of this water ore
too well known to all Georgia for me
to occupy your space in telling of its
wonderful cares. I sny wonderful
for it is said, on authority, that no
spring in this country bas affected
such miraculous cures, The personal
test and experience of several sum
mers has given me tn> reason to
donbt tbe truth of this assertion,
This article would lie incomplete
if I failed to montion how much in
terest is taken by mine bost of the
Elder House ia seeing to tbe com
fort and pleasure of his guests. The
servants nre well trained nnd atten
tive, the rooms are clenn and airy,
the ball room has no superior, and
the dining room—ab, there yon touch
a tender chord—is calculated to tempt
the most pronounced epienre. This
deserving hotel has becu comfortably
full all summer, and many times in
tbe past thirty days has been puzzled
to know how to store awny its nn
merotis visitors. An eleguut string
baud b.iS been in attendance here all
summer.
In addition to the Elder, there are
the Varner and Bryan House, besides
several private boarding houses,which
nre at times more or less fi'led, I
might further occupy yonr time by-
telling of grand balls, of the many
beautiful ladies aod valient men who
have contributed to make this one of
the brightest and most enjoyable re
sorts this summer. But to know
fully nnd appreciate all that I have
been trying to tell you, kind reader,
come to Indian Springs.

LOCAL OPTION DILL PASSED.
Atlanta Constitution.
The Local Option bill has been
passed by tbe House, ns it came from
the Senate. It awaits only the Gov
ernor’s lignuture to vitalize it, which
we take for granted it will get right
away.
"This bill provides that upon the
application for prohibition signed by
one-tenth the voters in any county,
the Ordinary slndl order an election
to determine whether or not spiritous
liquors shall be sold io that county.
All persons qualified to vote for mem
bers of the General Assembly are
qualified to vote in this electiou The
tickets shall be written “for sale,” and
and “against sale.” If tho result of
tbe election should be against the
sale, llie Ordinary slndl give notice
once it week for four weeks, nnd the
act shall take effect hs S juU as the re
sult is ascertained, except as the vest
ed rights of persous whoso annual
license have not expired. If the re
sult of the election should be “for
sale” no other election shall he held
in that couuty within less than two
years. When any county goes
“agaiust the sale,” no person shall
sell, or barter, directly or indirecly or
give away at his pluce, of bnsioess, or
furnish nt any other public place, any
alcoholic-spirituous, or malt liquors,
or any other drinks which will pro
duce intoxication. Nothing in tbe
bill is to prevent the sale and use ol
domestic wines or cider, or the sale
of wine for sncrimental purposes,
provided they are not sold by bar
rooms at retail. Licensed druggists
will not be prevented from famishing
pare ulcoltol for medicinal or scien-
iio purposes. No election can be
beld in any plnco where the sale of
spirituous liquors is already prohib
ited either by high license, local
option, or other legislaliou so long as
these local laws reinnin in force.
This is tbe local option bill wbicb
represents tbe climax of a long pro
hibition campaign. It is probable
that under its provisions nearly 100
elections will be held in this State
bolween now and the end of the year.
ont of bread yop can check on me, for

story of the residence nnd locked her
He then left to get his father.—
Returning in a quarter of an hour he
found tlmt Miss Maxwell had escaped
by jumping out of a window to a
bed roof and then to the ground.—
and his father left in search of her,
nnd soon learned that Miss Ida had
been married to Shelton by Rev. Vir*

This enraged the father and son,
who continued their search. Late in
the evening they called nt the resi

they walked up the steps saw Shelton

Shelton hnd a clawhammer in bi-
