WEOUl I . .' . 1 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. “Charlie McRee”—Miss Alice Es tep. “Grace Darling”—Miss Hattie Col quitt. “Duet”—Misses Upshur and Estep. “Thanksgiving Without Papa”— Miss Luella Kelly. “Lorena”—Miss Johnnie Kelly. Variations “Old Black Joe”—Willie Dean. “Hope Travels through Life, nor S uits us When we Die”—Mias Rhemer olleman. “The Lips that Touch Liquor Shall Never Touch Mine.”—Miss Eflie Hop kins. . ’ “Holden Ringlet Walts”—Misses Beckman and Johnson. “Tbe Wivee of Brigham”—Mias Maude Rhodes. “The Life Boat”—Miss Metta El lington. “Sweet By and By,” (variations)— Miss Belle Colquitt. “Morna’s Waters”—Miss Maude Ballard. “The Free Seat”—Miss Ida Beck “Better to Whistle than Whine"— Miss Ida Beckman. “Tbe Drunkard’s Dream” — Miss Jennie Lou Upshur. “Persimmons”—Miss Vaaaie Har rell. “Gathering Myrtles with Mary”— Misses Steed, Colquitt, Perkins, Wal thall and Bearfield, and Messrs. Bul lard and Walthall. “Ride of Jennie McNeal”—Miss Beatrice Cochran. , “Shipwrecked”—Miss Alice Askew, “Palmetto March”—Mester Willie Dean. Debate by the young men. “Hie Wanderers”—Music Class. The question debated was—“Re solved, That American slavery enght to have been perpetuated.” The debaters for tbe afflmative were E. G. Walthall, John McDhairmid. 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.

Misses Annie and Emma Hlnds- man, of Luthersville, came up en Mon day to attend school. They are board ing with the fomily of Rev. R. C. Rhodes. These young ladies were pu pils ot Prof. Pendergrast at Luthera- ville, and it speaks well for him that they have followed him here. They will add also to the society of our lit tle town. Mr. W. M. Walthall and his little daughter, Lu, left Sunday to spend a few days at Antioch with Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Brittain. Misses Dora Beckman, Cecile Lon- gino and Maggie Dean returned to College Temple this week. Misses Nellie Kate Smith and Weir Lyndon bad gone back last week. Dr. N. M. Mixon, who has recently completed a conjee of dentistry at Bal timore, has returned to Palmetto, pre pared to do first-class work in his profession. Dr. Mixon is a natural genius and ne doubt he will secure a lucrative practice in the line he has chosen. Some improvements are going on in our town. Mr. W. W. Floyd is hav ing bis premises newly enclosed. Capt. B. W. Cochran has made many im provements on his place this year, as has also Mr. T. J. Bearfield. Mr. Jno. D. Askew will move'into his new dwelling April 1st. J. A. Stith’s dwelling-house, with all it contained, was burned this morning. The family were away from home, so nothing was saved. Loss about $600. No Insurance. March 30th. Nemo. Senoia. 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- ooia High School, has been quite sick during the past week, but we are glad to know is able to be at his post again. The Atlanta and Hawkinsville sur veying corps reached this place last Friday. The final survey is now be ing made, which will be completed in a few weeks. Misses Idelia Arnall and Lee Gra ham visited friends in Turin last Sat urday and Sunday. Our merchants did a good business last Saturday—especially the guano merchauts. Hon. W. Y.

Cel. Jas. W. Shell and Miss Jennie £. Arnall visited friends in Hollon- ville last Sabbath. The young people enjoyed a pleas ant sociable last Friday night at tbe residence of Mr. S. O. Smith. A. March 30th. 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. Prayers go up that she may be spared to her family. Messrs. M. H. Couch, E. W. Leach and J. M. Briscoe are off on a visit to the Gate City. Mr. W. T. Arnall has returned from quite an extended visit to Alabama. The guano trade continues exceed ingly lively and the stock on hand is somewhat limited. R. K; Methvin has been quite sick, but we are glad to learn that he is im proving. Vincent. March 30th. GraatrUle. Mr Editor:—Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Colley contemplate a tour to Florida at an early date. Dr. A. M. Speer and wife will attend the inter>-State drill at Washington City in May. Mrs J. R. Cotton is visiting her mother at Fairburn. Mrs. John Dean returned home this week, after an extended visit to Pal metto and Atlanta. After the dedication services at Beth lehem Church on Sunday next there will be a spread dinner. Everybody is invited and an immense crowd is The recent cold snap played havoc with the frnit crop and gardens in this vicinity. We sincerely deplore this, as there is no section that has better frnit or more of it than is usnally found in the vicinity ef Grantville. Judge A. M. Speer, of Madison, was on a visit to his son, Dr. Arthur Speer, 1m>. week. He was very mnch charm ed with the appearance of onr town, and especially the picturesque country in which we are situated. Mr. R. I. O’Kelly is the “bees” mule trader of this district, and if anyone wants a good male or hone, Dick is the onsn that can fix him up. Willis Perdue, who underwent a trying surgical operation some time since, and whose life had been despair ed of, is getting well. A gentleman in the country near tbia place has a doomage attache of tbe genus Mine that recently gave birth to a litter of tailless kittens.

She was tbe consort of Mr. Giles McCullough and daughter of Mr. Leonard Peek. She was an affection ate wife and mother—a kind and obliging neighbor. She was tbe object of numerous strong attachments in tbe community and her death is univer sally deplored. Her gentle spirit has been wafted across the broad river, leaving kindred and friends on the re ceding shore, gazing after the loved form as it vanished from their earthly vision forever.

The stricken family have onr sincere condolence. > -1 visited Senoia a few days since 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. Heavy rain last Sunday night. Cotton-planting will begin next week. Another lot of darkies got before Judge Harrison’s court last week, and got out with a little less than $20 ex pense. Poor dupes!—why don’t they let the law alone? R. A. T. 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. March 28tfa. .Old Foot.
