BY HIS ORGAN.
hk.i cJsdgn Ben Leigh’s exhausting dis
quisitions on the tariff question have
, found favor in one quarter at least.
The Macon Telegraph copied bis ar
ticle—“History Repeats Itself”—in
its entirety, and commented upon it
editorially in such complimentary
terms as would cause a more impres
sible person than our venerable com
patriot to blush from sheer embarrass
ment. We reproduce the compliment
with pleasure; but if tbe tariff views
of our able contemporary are not more
warmly seconded at borne than are
the oral and epistolary dissertations
of our esteemed compatriot in this
locality, it must feel mournfully lone
some.
The people of Cowetacounty are not
more in favor of protection than are
tbe people of Bibb county; and it is a
wanton waste of time to try to con
vince them that it will be better for
tbe country to abolish tbe tax on
whiskey and tobacco and retain the
tariff duty on such needful articles as
sugar, cotton and woolen manufac
tures, iron, steel, etc. Argument to
the contrary may be able and exhaus
five; but it cannot convince so long
as the people of the South are forced
to pay tribute for the support of tbe
monopolists and “money devils” of
the North,jwbose sole and only claim
to protection is based upon the fortul
tons circumstance of their American
residence.
The theory of protection is fallacious
and misleading, and we do not see
bow it can ever become popular;
leading sentiment in tbe South—the
able utterances of the Macon Tele
graph and our esteemed compatriot
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Referring to the article of Judge
Leigh, the Telegraph says:
“We publish thin morning an arti
cle upon the tariff from the pen of
BeDj. Leigh, taken from The New
nan Herald and Advertiser. Ii
is a production that we trust tjrill he
carefully examined by every reader
of the Telegraph, being one of the
clearest, ablest and most powerful ar
guments in support of the protective
principle ever seen in a Southern pa
per.”
A Savannah special to the Macon
Telegraph says ex-President W. G.
Raoul, of tbe Central Railroad, has
been appointed President of the Mex
lean National Railway from Corpus
Christi to tbe City of Mexico, elrht
hundred miles of which are in opera
tion and five hundred of which are yet
to be built. The company has a cap
ital of 170,000,000, and is composed of
English capitalists. Capt. Raoul will
have his headquarters in New York.
He will go to New York next week
and from there will leave for Mexico
to inspect the road. Thisis a conspic
uous promotion from the position re
cently vacated by Capt. Raonl, and
his Newnan friends will be gratified
to hear of the good fortune which has
overtaken him.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS
Palmetto.
Mr. Editor:—Palmetto High School
is on a boom. About one hundred
and twenty pupils are in attendance.
Prof. Pendcrgrast is the right man in
the right place. He is not only amoet
excellent teacher, but a skillful dis
ciplinarian as well. He is ably as
sisted by Prof. LeRosen and Miss El
la Harrell. Palmetto is indeed for
tunate in having secured the services
of this competent corps of instructors,
and it is to be earnestly hoped that
they will remain a number of years
with us. Mrs. RL A. Wiley has charge
of the music cla* connected with the
school. Last Friday being the close
of the first quarter, Prof. Pendergrast,
as is his custom, bad public exercises
in the afternoon and evening. The af
ternoon was devoted to the little ones.
Without exception, they acquitted
themselves creditably. The exercises
in the evening were pleasant andenter-
tabling. The youug ladies deserve
v, „ much praise for their well-ohoeen and
*- beautifully rendered recitations. Tbe
following programme was carried out:
“Greeting soug”—Music Class.

tep.

E. P. Thornton, Clande Smith, Will
Walthall and N. 8. Cochran.
For tbe negative—Perry Cioly,
Chap Bearden, Will Floyd, Parker
Ballard, W. C. Cochran and John
Longiuo.
The debate was spirited, and many
good things were said on both aidee.
■ The speech of John McDhairmid do-
nerves special mention, it was both
hnruoroUs and pointed. Bui little
more than three years ago be came to
Palmetto from Scotland, knowing
nothing of the English language. By
constant kud close application he has
«dvanned as rapidly as Afaer young
sen ef his age, and deserves moqh
Oivdite
Tbe chairman decided in fawr of
the negative. Meeers. Ballard. Beck-
StaTiS Aakew, acted as jnsMegte.

Mr. Editor:—On Friday last infor
mation was received announcing the
dangerous illness of Mrs. J. H. Shei-
nutt at Oxanas, Ala., and we regret
t<> learn that she is yet in a critical
condition. The afflicted lady is a
daughter of our fellow-townsman, Mr.
W. B. Edwards, who left immediate
ly for Alabama to attend her during
her illness. Her mother, Mrs. Ed
wards, is also quite sick.
Prof. P. F. Brown, principal of Se-

Mr. Editor:—This section was visit
ed by a fine rain last Sunday night,
followed by a severe freeze on Mon
day night, which has, so far as my ob
servation goes, completely destroyed
the peach crop. As to other kinds of
fruit, not so far advanced, I cannot
tell definitely.
Your other Senoia correspondent
may not now feel so sanguine abont
the Atlanta and Hawkinsville Rail
road being built to this place. At last
accounts the surveying corps were
somewhere between Fayetteville aDd
Brooks Station, apparently on tbe
hnnt for an objective point.
Another surveying party, represent
ing the Central system, left here last
week to run a line connecting tbe
Greenville and Fairburn survey with
East Point. At this writing they are
about seven miles from here. As to
the outcome of all this, possibly the
next generation may be able to de
fine.
Mrs. Giles McCullough, after sever
al months of painful suffering, died
last Saturday morning. Tbe severe
and continued suffering of this lady
enlisted the deepest saypatbies of her
many friendsand relatives in the com
munity, as was evidenced by (he large
attendance at her fuueral, which took
place at Tranquil Church on Sunday
morning last. Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt
preached a very appropriate and im
pressive 8«m jn on that occasion.
We are sad to know that Mrs. Em
ma Shelnutt, daughter of our fellow-
townsman, Mr. W. B. Edwards, is
lying critically ill at her home in Ox-
anna, Ala. Serious fears are enter
tained that she will- not recover.

of numerous strong attachments in tbe

been wafted across the broad river,
leaving kindred and friends on the re

and found that tbe good people there
had abont given up all hope of the At
lanta and Hawkinsville Railroad be
ing built, but somewhat hopeful that
the Central Railroad wonld bnild the
Greenville extension to that point
and through to Atlanta. It ia well
enough to learn that a railroad whose
substructure is based on paper and gas
are to have one stopping-place at least
—and that place is generally reached
when the gas is exhausted.
Well, “Old Fogy” certainly got into
a thick fog in his last article. He
claimed as much right to formulate a
creed as Roger Williams and others
Williams set up no creed; neither was
he tbe founder of a sect. He imbibed
Baptist views, but never drafted t
creed nor formed a denomination.
He might have been called a leader in
civil and religious-lilierty, but nothing
more can be claimed for him. Wil
liams was born in Wales in 1598; was
a member of the church of England
and educated for the priesthood. Em
igrating to America in 1630, he settled
in Salem, Mass., where he found Bap
tists who were advocating liberty of
conscience. He imbibed their senti
ments, although not a Baptist at the
time. In 1636 he settled in Rhode Is
land, on the site where the city of
Providence now stands. Here Wil
liams was immersed by a man named
Holliman, after which Williams im
mersed Holliman and ten others.
They were pleased to call themselves
a Baptist church; but this organization
existed only four months, Williams
renouncing his baptism and bis so-
called church disbanding. Dr. John
Clark is entitled to the honor of being
tbe first Baptist minister to preach
the gospel in America, he having em
igrated hence two years before Wil
liams thought of coming to the colo
nies. At tbe time of Williams’ arri
val Dr. Clark was pastor of a Baptist
church at Newport. He it was who,
in 1663, obtained from Charles II. the
charter which secured to the colony,
or to the people, the right of soul lib
erty. The foregoing is not written to
provoke controversy; but is a simple
presentation of facts, that no one may
be misled in so grave a matter.

March 29th.
“Old Fogy
Mr. Editor:—I have always liked
your clippings very much, and I see
that you have a quick eye to detect
anything good; but I hope you will
pardon me for asking the use of tbe
editorial scissors to clip one of tbe fin
est of all modem productions
I had concluded to treat with silence
any further notices of me or my pieces,
but the Senoia Sentinel comes out
with a piece that I think is too rich for
the readers of your valuable paper to
miss; so I copy it verbatim’.
“A few weeks ago we gave Old Fogy,
or as we may truthfully call the poor
thing, Old Fooly, a nice notice, com
plimenting him on bis energy in re
maining awake longenough to write a
few news items from his section. Old
Fooly in the last issue of the Advertis
er tries to retaliate in some high-sound
ing words composed of silly nonsense,
which flowed frpm the pencil bat not
from his mushy brain. Say, Old Fooly,
next time yon write pat your thin and
disgusting ideas into some shape so
the reading.public will know what you
are trying to say. Again, Old Fooly,
yonr religion is about as thin and dis
gusting as the ideas are from your
mushy brain. Ta, ta, sonny I”
Now, my dear readers, I know you
can understand anything I write,
though the editor of the Sentinel can
not ; so follow me while I analyze the
above piece end give you a description
of its production.
Imagine him sitting on bis easy
three-legged stool, his paper before
him, .his pencil behind his ear, and
gazing abstractedly into space, while
ona hand is busily engaged scratching
his “noggin,” endeavoring to collect
the forces of bis airy mind.and fix it
upon a single thought. This single and
harrassine thought is, what shall I
reply to “Old Fogy?” By Herculei n
effort his atheletic mind, by a wonder
ful “play upon words” movement,
toms a double somersault, and out of
“Old Fogy” comes “Old Fooly!” Tbe
abstract posturo changes!—the con
tracted axnrposinn on his face relaxes!
Mr. Editor:—On Saturday morning
last, near this plane. Mrs. Me-
traded expression on his face relaxes
Quickly he graps the pencil from be
hind his ear and scratches away, rap
idly and intently, npon his paper.
The flood of his thoughts being let
loose, one idea succeeds another until
he finds himself down to—“so the
reading public will know what yon
are trying to say.” Then he stops for
a moment to think and gather up the
connection of his most gifted produc
tion. He reads it over and is highly
pleased. See tbe smile of satisfaction
playing upon his benign countenance!
His mind, having closed its eagle-like
wings, is made to spread them again,
and be commences—“again,”—(as
much as to tay, “I’ve completely
floored you once, and now for the sec
ond time,”)—“Old Fooly, yonr relig
ion is about as disgusting as the ideas
tha* flow from your mushy brain.”
All ml mg he has been tickled nearly
to death at his own unequaled clev
erness. and on reaching this happy
“hit,” he cancontainbimself no long
er, so laughs outright, and winds up
with the sniggering “Ta, ta, sonny!”
This laughingat his own production
reminds me of a hen who, having laid
her egg, has not the self-possession to
remain quiet in tbe knowledge of the
fact, bnt by cackling mast call her
robbers’attention to it;—while as sil
ly a thing as a goose will lay a larger
egg and not say a word about it. Yon
can apply this valuable illustration,
Mr. Sentinel, in jour future articles,
and avoid soch unseemly conduct In
so important a personage.
I could apply your epithet of “Old
Fooly” as indicating, in me, the high
est ability; because Galileo, Sir Isaac
Newton and their-likes were so called
in their day by persons of joor calibre.
As for my religion, you know nothing
about it; but I know one thing—I can
well afford to compare character with
yon and all my. slanderers. Resting
secure in the consciousness of this fact
I have a serenity that none of yonr
bickering can disturb.
Onr whole community is rendered
sad by the death of Mrs. Giles McCul
lough. which occnied on Saturday
morning last, after a protracted ill
ness. The remains were Interred at
Tranquil bnrying-ground tbe follow-
ing'morning. We extend onr sympa
thies to the Bereaved family.
