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. OVER THE STATE. Items of Interest Culled from Our Best Exchanges. North Georgia summer resorts are filling up with visitors. One car-load of melons netted a Ca milla shipper $0. Another got returns of $3.75 for a car-load. Six of the teachers of the public school of Athens received their educa tion at the home school of Mine, and -Miss Sosnowski’s in that city. The tax digest of" Chattahoochee county for ISST, received by the Comp troller, shows a decrease of $2,085 in the taxable property of the county since last year. 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 promptly met. 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 Mrs. Price. This makes the fifth time that the old gentleman has been mar ried. The LeConte pear grows to its great est perfection in and around Americans. A gentleman selected three out of a basket full Thursday, the combined weight of which was over two pounds, the largest weighing a fraction over twelve ounces. There is a gentleman living in Wil kinson county, by the name of Henry 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.

McNAMARA & BRO., -DEALERS IN- 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 faint sticky And selling the best and cheapest Watches, Clocks, Jewelry, Spectacles, Silver ware, etc., to be found in this section.

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.
