The business management of the

of Mr. Jas. E. Erown, who is allowed
full discretion in the exorcise of his
duties as editor.
In making the foregoing announce
ment it may be proper to state that
the consolidation is not the result of
aggressive competition on one part
or the other; neither is it an absorption
of one interest by the other. It is
the result of a mutual agree
ment between all parties concerned,
and the transfer of the different inter
ests to the Xewnan Publishing Com
pany a simple business transaction,
merely. It was not the design, nor is
it the desire, of the new management
to secure a monopoly of the publishing
business in Newnan for the sake of
monopoly. They have put their capi
tal in the enterprise as a business in
vestment, and hope to occupy the
field so satisfactorily as to merit the
united patronage and support of the
community. It is their aim to givo
to the people of Xewnan and Coweta
county such a paper as will meet the
demands of an enterprising and grow
ing town aud satisfy all classes, to
accomplish which il will be necessary
to have not only the substantial en
couragement and support of our busi
ness men, but of the people generally.

Mr. Editor:—Your correspondent
visited Brooks Ktati m last Saturday
and was informed of a most daring
robbery that had been committed on
Thursday night previous. On the
night in question the store-house of
Bishop & Prichard was forcibly en
tered by some party or parties un
known, who drilled abole through the
top of an iron safe belonging to the
firm, iuserted a charge of powder,
touched it off, blew open the door and
scattered the contents on the floor.
Six hundred dollars in money was
stolen and about $500 worth of cloth
ing aud other goods. The perpetra
tors of this daring robbery made good
their escape, unfortunately, and so far
as we have been able to learn no clue
has yet been obtained that would
likely lead to their discovery. A few
pieces of silver, blackened by thejiow-
der used in blowing open the safe,
were picked upon the floor next morn
ing; so, if anyone trades for smoked
silver or gold be may suspect that the
sa ne has been stolen. Only a short
time before this occurrence the store
of Ransome & Morgan, in the same
town, was broken open and a quanti
ty iif goods stolen. Two of the parties
implicated In this piece ot rascality
are new in jail awaiting trial, but the

without the aid of the Courts. Well,
it is hard; and any judicial officer
whoso afflictions may be such as to
prevent him from bolding Court and
assisting in carrying out the ends of
justice, should, for the sake of the
public good, band in bis commission
and step down and out, so that tbe
wheels of justice may roll their ap

right to this scribe.

Mr. Editor:—George W. Bagby, in
his most excellent description of
“How ‘Ruby’ Played,” closes a suc
cession of very expressive sentences
which portray tbe wonderful effect
of Rubeustein’s music by repeating—
“And still he would not let that piano
go.” I am induced to imitate him by
saying, “And still they won’t let
‘Old Fogy’ alone." Last week the
editor of tbe Senoia Sentinel was
prompted to let bis fluent pen stray
and notify the anxiously expectant
public that "the thing writing for the
Advertiser under the name of ‘Old
Fogy’ woke up week before last and
wrote some news, and then went to
sleep again.” I am glad he gives me
credit for sometimes awaking. Yes;
I have awakened sufficiently to be
hold the sun of Truth arise, dispelling
with its all-powerful rays the fog of
ignorance and superstition. I have
glimpsed the borderland of the heav
enly fair intellectual realm, quaffed
some of its eternal, life-giving waters,
and tasted bits of the immortal fruits
of knowledge. I have slept, and,
sleeping, dreamed of raising my being
higher—dreamed of being a full-man,
with humanitarian principles, un
spotted character and a free and cul
tured intellect. Many live long, yet
learn little;—keep their eyes open, yet
see bnt few objects. A man staying
always at one pqint might easily be
induced to believe that- the limited
circle of his visible horizon was the
extent of tbe world, and that he was
in the centre, if not the centre. So,
my dear brother, because you never
nod. do not imagine that you see it all
or know it all. You call mea “thing;"
couldn’t I, with equal propriety, call
you a “thing-a-mi-thing,” if I were
not averse to using personalities?
There is nothing that delights my
ideal fancy more than the thought of
becoming God-like; and though the
fact that so many cannot appreciate
my best thoughts is a source of regret,
still even this offers me an opportuni
ty to be God-like. The bible says-
l‘the times of their ignorance God
winked at;” so I can simply -wink at
their ignorance. Or, perhaps rt would
suit the Senfinel better for me to
“nod” at it.
Notes from “Old MeYntosh.’*
Mr. Editor:—I-ast week’s announce
ment that “this will be tbe last issue
of the Advertiser,” came upon us
with the almost stunning effect insep
arable from a sense of sudden loss.
Following closely, as it did, upon
Capt. Cates’ valedictory in the Herald,
it seemed to threaten us with utter
destitution. Of course, tbougb, when
tbe next few lines disclosed the fur
ther intentions of our newspaper
managers, we found consolation. Im
mediately, curiosity was on the qui
vivc. “What will it be called?” "Who
will be the editor?” Yet, with all
our questionings, there is nothing of
doubt as to the result. Whoever "Mr.
Editor” may be, we are satisfied that
from such a combination will arise a
good paper; something above and be
yond the ordinary line of country
newspapers.
You would like, would you not,
something vivid and striking from
each correspondent for the initial
number of your new paper? But our
little community offers to our pen the
commonplace alone. In country life,
each season “history repeats itself.”
And yet there is nothing of sameness.
Each recnrriDg spring brings fresh
ness and vigor, and we forget tbe dis
appointed hopes, tbe unrequited la
bors of foregoing years in the renewal
of hope that lends fresh energy for
present toil. All nature teems with
cheer for Ibebeartof man. Fruit trees
glow with the promise of summers’
rich delights; flowers shed beauty
and fragrance from wildwood and
garden, and bright-winged birds
gladden the scene with rapid, joyona
flight and happy- chirp.
Sueh are the only “happenings”
that we are privileged to record, ex
cepting what everybody knows—that
the farmers are industriously improv
ing this beautiful weather, planting
corn and preparing land for planting.
Quite a number have economized time
and labor in hauling by having their
fertilizers deposited at Ray’s crossing,
on the Griffin road. There is talk of
tbe expediency of erecting a side track
at that point.
Small grain seems flourishing. Oats
have grown vigorously from their first
appearance, and wheat has come out
beautifully under the genial influence
of sunshine since the last rain.
Mrs. J. D. Ray, with little Laulie,
Clyde Lyndon and Warren Melson,
made a happy little party at Mr. Ray’s
farm daring the last week.
Mr. Henry Taylor, who has been
for several weeks quite sick at his
father’s at Whitesburg, is, we are
glad to learn, improving.
Mr. Oliver Waltom made a horse
trade last week that resulted rather
unfortunately for him. The creature
for which he “Swapped,” unaccustom
ed to the generous fare that is the rule
in the Waltom establishment, died
from the consequences of his first
day’s feeding, and Oliver only laugh

“Free
An Indignant Protest Against
Thought,** (So-called.)
Mr. Editor:—Since it is generally
supposed that from your honored fra
ternity nothing is hidden, and that it
isyour acknowledged obligation to tell
the public what you know, will you
be so kind as to inform your readers
whether the Legislature of Georgia has
granted to your Turin correspondent a
monopoly of “thought?” Also, what
amount of research, supplementing
his infallible wisdom, was necessary
to the culmination of the two, as
expressed in the remarkable state
ments made in his last letter to the
Advertiser'! That he should have
taken issue with Dr. Lipscomb is oy
no means surprising. Venerable in
years, towering in intellect, profound
in knowledge; his genius consecrated
to the highest ministry that can dig
nify and ennoble a worker among
men, as all acknowledge the ex-Chan-
cellor to be, it would seem that the ty
ro in literature, even though a free
thinker by profession, would shsink
from even a show of measuring
strength with the sage of “Wee-wee
Cottage.”
But all wonder at this degree of
presumption is lost in view of truth
outraged and self-respect forgotten, as
betrayed in the sentence following:
“Christianity has ever opposed prog
ress and advancement.”
One is tempted to exclaim to its au
thor, in the language of Festus, “Much
learning hath made thee mad;” but
his learning is the opposite of that
which lent convincing eloquence to
the words of noble Paul; and his mad
ness. with a fatality characteristic of
insanity, has tamed him against his
best, his truest friend. It is strange
that a man, eager for knowledge and
professing to admire and appreciate
genuine cultivation, should turn from
the vigor-imparting, growth-assisting
food that satiates and strengthens the
healthy mind, and seek to -feed his
soul upon worse than husks; upon poi
son, as insidiously destructive as the
alcohol that nerves the inebriate’s
hand to suicide; or .as- the opium-eat
er's bane, that enchants even while it
lures him onward to bis rain;—thus
which sit in darkness” the mighty
train of blessings that follow in its
wake.
In the service of Truth, Mr. Editor,
I would beg your correspondent to be
ware such rash assertions as that “all
our inventors and men of literary
fame were without the ‘pales’t” For
tbe sake of candor and justice, let him
inform himself and publish a retrac
tion of that statement. Had I leisure
for research and you space for pub
lishing them, pages of names might
be given of the good and great among
men and women who, as obedient and
loving subjects of the Christianity
that he denounces, have borne aloft
the torch of science and proclaimed to
a waiting world her marvelous reve
lations; have dug deep into the mine
of Truth and brought forth wondrous
gems; have cleared away wildernesses
of ignorance, doubt and superstition;
broken up the fallow-ground of
thought, and from the latent richness
of the soil evoked lovely, unfading
flowers and rich, imperishable fruits of
literature, needed refreshment and
food for the mind and soul of their
fellow-man.
Blinded indeed must be the eyes
that cannot see, and ungrateful thb
heart that refuses to acknowledge, the
humanizing, enlightening power that
lies in the spirit of Christian religion.
“Let there be light!” was the fiat of
Jehovah at creation’s dawn, and out
f chaos was evolved order; out of de
formity, beauty; out of darkness, il
lumination; out of death, life. And
just as surely had existed moral chaos,
deformity, darkness and death but for
the Christ who was to Adam revealed
by promise and to his posterity by
his incarnate presence as the light of
the world. Can it be that the skeptic,
the boasted “free-thinker,” would be
willing to blot from earth all effects,
immediate and indirect, resulting
from the controlling influence of such
a religion, thus evolving it in the ruin
from which it has been redeemed?
To he consistent, he must be so mind
ed. If it be possible for him to candid
ly consider the direful consequences,
even he must admit that iu such a case
life would be a thing to shrink from,
existence a calamity. Men, with their
God-given faculties debased, unre
strained by divine influences, would
become devils incarnate and our earth
but another “Inferno.” But, thank
God, this can never be. The machi
nations of His foes will reflect upon
themselves the destruction to which
they would consign His kingdom; or
else they, too, will yield tothe domin
ion of “the Prince of Peace,” for it is
written, "He muketh even His ene
mies to praise Him.”
Would that I had power, Mr. Edi
tor, to write as I feel;—each word
would glow with the light reflected
from my Savior’s name. But in these
hastily written pages I have not, I
know, done even half justice to the
subject. Please understand that I of
fer no argument, that I seek no con
troversy—for which, indeed, I must
confess myself all unequal—but shall
a woman be silent when her Lord and
Master is reviled? It is His religion
that has lifted womanhood from the
depths into which infidelity and hea
thenism had held her, degraded and
worse than fetter-bound. Then “let
my tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth” when I fail to raise my voice,
however weakly and imperfectly, in
defense of that faith, and “my right
hand forget her cunning,” when my
pen shall be more ready in another
cause.
And may they who areturningtheir
God-given powers against Him who
bestowed them, mocking theirCreator,
ignoring their Preserver and malign
ing their Redeemer, be led to see their
error before it is too late! “No man
liveth to himself,” and he who wills to
be lost, may drag down other souls to
share his ruin. * * *

BAKING POWDERS.
Interesting: Test Made l>y the Govern
ment Chemists.
Dr. Edward G. Love, the Analyti
cal Chemist for the Government, has
made some interesting experiments as
to the comparitive value of baking
powders. Dr. Love’s tests were made
to determine what brands are the most
economical to use, and as their capac
ity lies in their leavening power, tests
were directed solely to ascertain the
available gas of each powder. Dr.
Love’s report gives the following:

♦In his report, the: Government
Chemist says: “I regard all- alum

Legislature as to pass an Act making
null and void the Federal revenue
laws and was proceeding to import
goods into the city of Charleston duty
free, when about that time the tariff
compromise measures were passed by
Congress and an end put to the long
political discussion that bad been go
ing on. The reduction of tariff duties
was to be gradual on all articles over
20 per cent, until no article carried a
duty of more than 20 per cent. In the
meantime the surplus in tbe Treasury
was divided among the States, and
everything went on swimmingly until
we reached the panic of 1837, with all
its terrible consequences upon our in
dustries, labor and finances. When
the Act of 1S24 was proposed by its
friends the country was in debt and the
revenues were hardly sufficient to de
fray the ordinary expenses of the Gov
ernment. Those opposing the bill,
among whom was Gen. Robt. Y.
Hayne of South Carolina, said that
the bill would operate a reduction of
the revenue to the amount of $S,000,-
000. and that the grass would grow in
the streets of our seaport towns; but
in the course of three years those very
men proposed to repeal the Act of 1824
because they said it yielded too much
revenue. Meanwhile the friends of
protection thought iron and lead and
some other articles were not fully pro
tected and passed the Act of 1828, the
effect of which was to reduce very
much the price of iron and lead.
The duty on lead, by that Act, was 3
cents per pound, and very shortly af
ter it sold at 1)£ cents per pound.
Iron declined from $110 per ton to §75
per ton.
Now, Mr. Editor, the tariff of 1861
has wrought greater wonders than the
Acts of 1824-28—mainly, I suppose,
because il has been in force for more
than a quarter of a century. My own
opinion is that the Acts modified in
1S33, if let alone, would have produced
the same results as the Act of 1861.
Let us take a view of the situation as
it is now presented to us. We behold
our manufacturing interests largely
increased and a more rapid develop
ment of our material resources every
day, with an aggregate railway mile
age of 125,000 miles. There is a daily
addition to our wealth of $2,500,000,
with an accumulation of specie so
vast that there is a considerable fac
tion belonging to both political par
ties (among whom is President Cleve
land,) who are advocating the demon
etization of silver. We are paying off
the national debt at the rate of $10,-
000,000 a month. Were times ever
more prosperous? Why, then, want
tochauge our condition when never
before in the history of the country
was specie so plentiful that it became
a drug? This condition never existed
under a low tariff dispensation, cer
tainly. The results of the tariffs of
1824 2S have been repeated by the Act
of 1861;—w hy may not the history of the
modification of the Acts of 1824-28 be
repeated by a modification of the Act
of 1861? Four years after the com
promise measures were passed the
panic of 1837 occurred, specie
payments' were suspended, cotton
declined from 16 cents to 8 cents
in a few months, and kept
declining until it reached 4 cents per
pound. If I saw a silver dollar either
in 1840, 1841 or 1842 I do not now re-
coIle“tit. What was the cause? The
low duty on foreign goods superin
duced large importations—much more
than we had need of or the means to
pay for. The balance of trade was
thrown against us and all our specie,
accumulated underthe Acts of 1824-28,
wa9 sent over to Europe to pay the
balances I hat were against us year af
ter year until we were entirely drain
ed of specie.
In those days there was no. talk of
demonetizing silver, but I very well
recollect to have beard an influential
Democrat and legislator in Coweta
county say that, to have specie more
plen’iful, we would have to make a
gold dollar count for five.
The only panacea for scarcity of
specie in this country is a protective
tariff; the way to make specie
scarce is to adopt a 20 per cent, tariff
and the thing will be accomplished.
Let me illustrate: Say the Govern
ment needs $300,000,000 annually;
$750,000,000 of imported goods at 40
per cent, would raise the amount. At
20 per cent, it would take§1,500,000,000
of imported goods to supply the need
ed revenue. Our exports, upon an
average, are about $800,000,000; so you
will see that, under the 40 per cent,
revenue, only $750,000,000 of imported
goods are required, leaving a bal
ance in our favor of $50,000,000.
While the 20 per cent, tariff
requires an Importation of $1,500,-
000,000, our exports only reach
$800,000,000, which throws the balance
against us, or $700,000,000 in one year.
Such a balance against ns for three
years together would exhaust our sup
ply of specie and we would be placed
just where we were in 1840-41-42,
when there was no specie in the coun
try.
I have shown that the tariff of 1861
has repeated the history of 1824 28; so
you may certainly expeel •hat if the

Most of my customers live some distance
from town and I hardly ever see them; but
all that I can hear from are well pleased with
the “High Grade,” and if you wish you can
use my testimonial as youragent. The “High
Grade” has paid^eijnally as well as any brand
of fertilizers sold in this market, and perhaps
better, as it is the universal opinion of mv
customers that where the “High Grade” was
used the cotton held its fruit better than
where other fertilizers were used.

present tariff is modified to the extent
that Carlisle, Morrison, Hurd A Co.
desire, the history of 1840 will be fully
repeated. But, Mr. Editor, the drain
age of specie is not-half the damage
done by a 20 per cent, tariff. The
$750,000,000 i.f goods, extra, imported
under the 20 per cent’, schedule would
only be depriving our labor of that
much patronage, and our operatives
would be turned out to idleness, and
perhaps starvation, for the length of
time it would have' taken them to
have manufactured and furnished the
extra $750,000,000 required under the
20 per cent. plan. So you can see
that the damage inflicted on our- fi
nancial and industrial interests would
be immense, and everything would go
to ruiu unless a higher tariff schedule
was adopted to stop the flow of specie
abroad aud ouridleoperatives and cap
ital put to work again. Labor is the
basis of all wealth, and the more labor
there is performed the more wealth is
accumulated. We cannot afford to
let our capital and labor be idle, and
the only way to prevent idleness is to
famish employment forbotbat home.
M. Thiers, the eminent French states
man, said that labor bad an inaliena
ble right to its home market. With
him I agree, and therefore I am for
protection in order to secure to Amer
ican labor iu rights to the American
markets. Eenj. Leigh, j
