“If I were only rich.” she said.
“I <1 crown the golden days with deeds
That angels would r^Joiop to see:

Of hopeand cheer and charity:
'And they who faltered near inv door,
Athirst and hungry,sad and s~re,
“Ould solace find to roam no more:
Tis painful to be poor,” she said.
“If I were only rich.” she said;—

Enthroned aqueen in high estate.
Jso troublous thoughts her moments knew.

The starving found a wretched fate;

Tis tiresome to he rich!” she said.
HFHAT THE SOUTH HAS DONE.
2^.- Ward, of Winona, Miss., Answers
an Article in the “Century.”
ackson (Miss.) Clarion.
The South has been the land of “en
terprise, of great pith and moment,”
atlierihan the nursery of scribblers,
he lias made history for others to
.vrite and sell.
For more than 100 years the grand
larch of the American intellect has
een projected from Southern brains,
The fine moral and intellectual or-
animation of Southern children has
heretofore been largely due to the fact
that their mothers jvere exempt from
the hardships of physical drudgery and
the depressing effects of impending
want.
A Southern man led the patriotic
armies to victory and established the
possibilities of the proudest nation on
earth. A Southern man was prime
mover of the convention that framed
the Constitution. When the Govern
ment was created its organic laws were
still an unexplained book, a ponderous
oar in unskilled hands.
It was left for the greatest legal mind
of the age, a Southern Chief Justice, to
* analyze and stamp upon it the con-
_ struction which will be accepted as
^ long as the Constitution is respected.
A Southern man framed the ordi
nance for the organization and govern
ment of the great Northwestern terri
tory, an instrument second in impor
tance to the Constitution of the United
States.
A Southern man was the author of
the republican theory of popular gov
ernment, which prevailed during the
sixty years of our greatest prosperity,
peace and happiness. Of the fifteen
Presidents of the Continental Congress
eight were from slave States.
Where is there an example of mod
ern seamanship that will compare with
the daring and brilliant cruise of Admi
ral Semmes, who with a single ship
swept from the seas the commerce of a
great nation? Who was it that mapped
tlie geography of the seas, explained
their secret phenomena, blazed out on
the trackless ocean the shortest and
safest, highways for the commerce of
the world, by his “Wind and Current
Charts” and his “Sailing Directions,”
saving to the United States millions of
dollars annually on outgoing tonnage
alone? .Matthew F. Maury, a South
ern man to the core, and by common
consent of all nations accorded the
t proud title of “Philosopher of the
* Seas.”
Where, is there a parallel to Audu
bon, the naturalist and ornithologist of
the world? Chloroform, that has rob-
bed'the surgeon’s knife of all its terrors,
was at first applied by a Southern phy
sician.
The two greatest eras in surgery for
the last two centuries; in fact, two of
the greatest in surgical history, were
marked by two Southern physicians,
Ephraim McDowell, of Kentucky, and
J. Marion Sims, of Alabama. In their
respective branches the surgery of the
. whole enlightened world recognizes and
follows the leadership of these famous
men.
Ben Hill was the only man in Amer-
icHwho ever made $1,000,000 as the di-
rei ji product of his brain, independent
of investment or speculation; in addi
tion to which lie gave fifteen of his.best
years to active public service.
The only approximation to his rec
ord was that of another Southern law
yer. Judah P. Benjamin, who went to
England after the meridian of life and
became the leading jurist in that lanu
of great lawyers.
From 1789 to 185;', a period of sixty-
four years, embracing eleven adminis
trations. the slave States furnished
eight Presidents, whose terms of serv
ice covered fifty-two years. During
v l^ e same time the free States furnished
three Presidents, whose combined
terms covered twelve years.
Of the twelve Vice-Presidents, four
were from slave States.
Under these eleven administrations
the slave States supplied fourteen Sec
retaries of-State, eleven Secretaries of
"War, six Secretaries of the Treasury,
nine Secretaries. of the Navy and eight
Postmaster Generals.
Of fifty-five Presidents pro tcv. of the
Senate, thirty-nine were from slave
States.
Of thirty-one Speakers ci the House,
twenty-two were from slave States.
Of five Chief Justices, two, and the
on A two of great eminence, were from
slat* States.
Of twenty-nine Associate Justices,
seventeen were front slave States.
Of one hundred and eighty-five
’ public ministers to. foreign countries,
ninety-nine were from slave Mate*.
Without going ranker into exhaust-
' V details, for which material is
decent denial, that along the lines of
these fifty-two years are ranged all the
broad and lofty conceptions of states
manship, all the bold and fruitful en
terprises, all the grand and compre
hensive achievements from which have
evolved the pride, the power and the
glory of the American people.

Large quantities of currycombs and
hames are being made by the Perry
Manufacturing Company in order that
the demands of the fall trade may be

The dry streak of country immediate
ly around Wutkinsville has not as yet
received any rain, and crops are badly
parched. There has not been any rain
since April the 25tli.
T. E. Beall, formerly of the Hogans-
ville Enterprise, will soon begin the
publication of a paper called the Wood
bury Hot Blast, at Woodbury, Ga.
The first number will be issued about
August 1st.
Dr. John T. Lamar, of Terrell coun
ty, has twenty acres of corn of this
year’s growth which was dry enough
to carry to mill on July 4tli. The corn
was planted the first week in March
and will turn out ten bushels per acre.
Green W. Bateman, a well-known
farmer and citizen of Pulaski county,
whose wife died a month or two ago,
was married again a few days ago to a

Mercer, who is now in his 45tli year,
who says that he has never been sworn
as a juror or witness in any case, and
that last week was the li^st time that
he ever attended court.
Rev. J. H. Dixon, pastor of the Pres
byterian church at Gainesville, is suf
fering so severely from an affection of
the throat that he will he forced to
suspend his ministerial duties, at least
for awhile. Ilis church met a day or
two ago and granted him a month’s va
cation.
The Porter Manufacturing Compa
ny, near Clarksville, are erecting a
$250,000 addition to their woolen mill,
to supply the increased demand for
their popular goods. Habersham coun
ty is fast developing as a manufactur
ing centre, possessing some of the finest
water powers in the South.
The country between Athens and
Atlanta, on the Northeastern and Air
Line railroads, for the past few day-
has been visited every afternoon by tine
-bowers, but they are very irregular.
Tuesday 1he train from Atlanta to Lu
lu passed through six different streaks
of country where rain had fallen, the
intervening distance being dry and
parched. Crops up the country are
simply magnificent, and have not as
yet suffered for rain.
A great deal of interest is manifested
among the colored people of Atlanta
and other parts of the State in the Na
tional Colored Exposition, which is to
be held there in 1888. One of the mo
tives which induced the directors of the
exposition to select Atlanta was the
tender by the Gentleman’s Driving
Park Association of their grounds and
buildings for the use of the exposition.
There is now a movement among some
of the prominent colored citizens look
ing to securing grounds and buildings
of their own. So far the proposition
has taken no definite shape, but it is
being very seriously considered.
About two months ago James K. Pat
terson, of the eleventh district of Meri
wether county, eloped with the wife of
T. H. Bird. A letter to the editor of
the Vindicator states that the fugitive
pair are near Cowlingford, Choctaw
Nation, I. T. Mr. Patterson had hn
uncle, a Mr. Higlit. living in the neigh
borhood who has died since Patterson’s
arrival in the Nation. It is represented
that- Patterson is endeavoring to get ]
possession of the property of the de
ceased uncle, to which his aunt, Mrs.
Nancy Jenkins, and Mrs. Patterson,
his mother, are entitled. It seems i hat
Patterson is passing off as a married ,
man in the Territorv. . I
have been a greater increase in both
the returns of property and polls if the
Justices of the Peace had furnished
him all the names of the residents of
their respective districts, as the law re
quires of them.
The Bartow county grand jury last
week got after the “boomers” with ;w
sharp stick. There was quite a discrep
ancy between the figures that some
property was held at and the figures
given in to the Tax Receiver. The grand
jury was after these discrepancies and
from the way they improved property,
or at least the price of it, was enough
to dazzle the eyes of the most energet
ic corner lot speculator. Prices were
“bulled,” so to speak. Lots of land,
known to have concealed beneath its
unpretentious looking stones and rub
bish, princely manganese banks, and
given in by the owner at a figure
about what the rubbish would be
worth, were sized up in a min
eral point of view and assessed ac
cordingly. People, next to beating
a railroad, had rather beat their own na
tive State and county than anybody. A
few mine owners throughout the coun
ty will be somewhat surprised at the
amount of tax they will have to pay
next fall. One man who owns a lot that
he bought a few months ago for $120,
refused $8,000 for the mineral right on
it alone. lie gave this. valuable piece
of property in at the price he gave for
it, $120, but the grand jury changed it
considerably. In their presentments
the jury complain that a great many
have given in their tax too low and pre-
sentecbseveral parties engaging in such
business. Several members of the jury
were in favor of asking the Judge for
the appointment of tax assessors for
the county, and no doubt this question
will be considerably agitated in the
near future.
j If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
| and Nervous Prostration (for
| this was what the disease really
j was,) she would have been liv
ing to-day. Shaker Extract
of Roots, or Seigel’s Cura
tive Syrup, a remedy made ex
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its ef
ficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

A TERRIBLE
SURGICAL OPERATION!
A FATAL MISTAKE.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 18S3, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, Dr. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar, indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described

The whole amount of property given
in in Terrell county is an increase over
last year of $61,558. In the wild land
returns there is a decrease of $4,000.
The cause of this decrease is supposed
to be that these lands have been im-
e
nd lan
guid feeling. Then followed
a dreadful nervousness, with
.gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order to save the pa
tient’s life an operation was jus
tifiable. Accordingly, on the
22d of February, 1883, the op
eration was performed by Dr.
Vance in the presence of Dr.
Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr.
Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner
and Dr. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consis
ted in laying open tire cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin
ation of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered .that they had made j
a terrible mistake,"- but they
sewed; the. parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
