Mr. Editor:—Having overlooked the reply of “Ripples” in The IIeralH and Advertiser of 27th July, and not getting paper of August 3d, I did not know until a short time ago that he had replied to my article. “Ripples” gives a tabular statement of some expenses of the Department, and says that he gives the information because I “seemed to be a little incred ulous.” lie would have it appear that I am astonished at what he discloses— that I am incredulous that such things should occur. I am unwilling for “Rip ples” to place me in a false light. By what word or words did I indicate that I was incredulous ? He mentions items the use of which, in all departments, is well known. And have not these or similar things been published in the an nual expenses of the Department since its organization ? And have they not been read and known and passed upon by our Governors, and investigated by a committee ? Why should I be incred ulous about things that are so well known, and which, I suppose, every body knew except “Ripples” and his 54 members of the Legislature who were farmers ? “Ripples” complains .that there were two subscriptions to the Macon Tele graph paid by the Department for one year. But the same defect in his vision that caused him to see a “thousand” items of private use in the expenses of the Department, and caused him to read the salary of the Commissioner as $3,000, and to put down the annual expenses of the Department at more than $40,000, is still troubling him. In this instance it makes him see double. Let him notice and he will see that there is but one subscription at the same time. One is up to January 22, 1887, and another from January 22,1887, to July 22, 1887. “Ripples,” in his first communication on the Department, said the cost to run the Department by the year was $50,- 450 00. He has now fallen back to the report of the investigating committee of 18S3, and says they reported the ex pense for that year to be $26,318 03. Here his vision gets wrong again. They reported the expense of the Agricul tural Department proper to be $13,- 200 00 at that time. (See page 2 of re port.) There was an expense for in spection and analyses of fertilizers be sides amounting to $13,118 03. Both put together amounted to $26,31S 03. But the Agricultural Department can not be charged with the inspection and analyses of fertilizers. The law has put the direction and supervision of both in the hands of the Commissioner; but they are distinct and separate—both as to duties and expenses. The “crookedness” of the Depart ment is a favorite expression of “Rip ples.” But 1 must take him to task for some crookedness in his replies to my articles. He says that the “toiling peo ple are taxed to pay for the rent of wells, and for ice to go in the water, Piiat the heads of departments and their families may use.” This is the same as charging positively that the heads of departments rent wells and buy ice to go in the water for their “family” use, and then make the State pay the expense. This would be a very grave offense, and no man should make the charge against any official, except on positive and unmistakable proof. Is the Commissioner guilty of this great offense ? I see no evidence of it in the records and reports. Let “Ripples” produce, the proof. Again, “Ripples” says: “I notice that to one man the Commissioner pays as high as $12 per bushel for kaffir corn, and to another only $4 per bushel”; and he adds: “But, then,what kinsfolk have to sell is a little better, than what other people have.” I quote his exact language."This language implies, plain ly and without a doubt, the positive charge that the Commissioner, in buy ing the seed of kaffir corn, gave to one man $12 a bushel because he was kin to him, while he gave to another only $4 per bushel. This is a fair construction, and the only construction that can be put upon the language. Is this charge true? Has the Commissioner done this exceedingly dishonorable thing? By reference to the report of expenditures from which the items about the kaffir ' corn were taken, 1 see that in 1S86 the Commissioner bought of one H. J. Moats kaffir corn—five bushels, at $12 per bushel, and on May 14, 1887, when t he season was far advanced, lie bought of J. H. Watkins one-half bushel of kaffir corn for $2—or $4 per bushel. The difference in the time of buying would reasonably account for the change in price. Seed of some new pro duction, or a new kind when first in troduced, will often sell very high, but in a short time, when the excitement is over and it is late in the season, the price falls very much. Xow, can “Rip ples” sustain this charge ? What au thority or proof has he thatH. J. Moats is a relative of Commissioner Hender son? As one who has known Jack Hen derson longer and better than any man in this county, I deny botlf the forego ing charges, and I call upon “Ripples” $o produce the proof, or his authority for saying that the said Moats is a kins man of the Commissioner. And I also call upon him for the proof of the oth er charge : that the Commissioner was using the public funds to furnish water and ice for his family use. If he can not or does not produce the proof jvhen thus called on, I then call on him, as an honorable man, to take both charges back, and to admit in the same way he has made them—that is, over his sig nature—that he has made unfair charges, and charges that are untrue, against the Commissioner of Agricul ture. What will he do about it ? Let us hear from him. Let me say to “Ripples” that H. J. Moats is in no way related to Commissioner Hender son—no more than “Ripples ’ is. This I .say upon authoritative evidence, and can produce it if “Ripples” calls upon me for it. And let me commend to “Ripples” the consideration of how exceedingly wrong it is to bring charges against persons, in office or out of of- fice—particularly such charges as affect their character—except on the most positive and incontestible proof that such charges are true. A Farmer. Trial by Jury Abolished in Austria. Pal) Mall Gazette. A very severe measure was promul gated at Vienna yesterday, and there is much question as to the motives which have inspired it. Trial by jury in the case of crimes and offenses com mitted by Socialists or Anarchists has been suspended by ministerial decree for the duration of one year in fifteen districts in Austria, Bohemia-, Moravia, Syria and Corinthia, including all the large cities. The approval of Parlia ment will of course have to be obtained. One of the offenses under this act is the possession of explosive materials. In order to fully appreciate the signif icance of this matter, says the Standard correspondent, it must be remembered that the decree will give the govern ment power in the districts named, without judicial order or warrant, to arrest and imprison or expel, not only suspected persons, but all who shelter them; to forbid the manufacture, sale or possession of arms and ammunition; to prohibit not only public meetings, but also the assembling of crowds, and to make most stringent regulations con cerning passports, and arrivals and de partures of foreigners. The police will be at liberty to make domiciliary visits, and also to search newspaper offices and take summary proceedings against publishers and editors. Interesting Facts.

Quitman Free Press: “Old man Brown and widow Smith ain’t their names, but it will answer just as well as if they were. Old man Brown, as many are prone to do, had got in debt some way, and had resorted to the homestead to save his property. All went well till Mrs. Brown was one day taken sick and called to that land where homesteads are unknown. Old man B’s creditors learned of this and were fix ing to close down on the old fellow. He remembered the homestead he had had and wished he still had it, but the stern fact stared him in the face that he didn’t, and his creditors were begin ning to crowd him.

I have been troubled with rheumatism - for two years; had gotten so I could scarcely walk, and was in pain nearly all the tune.- At ni°-ht could not sleep for the excrucnuing pain. The bone in one of nay legs was very much enlarged, and I fe-sred that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dn- ferent patent medicines claiming to cure rheumatism and other wmplaints, I was -al most discouraged until about two weeks ?jgo, when I had to give‘up business, Mr. Wi J. Willingham, of vour city, hearing of my com plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and assured me of his confidence in it as a cure for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having much faith in it, or in anything else; t.ut, thank God, I am very muen relieved, ana-1 firmly believe I tv ill get entirely well. The swelling has gone down and I am in no pam whatever. Am at work again, and have been for several days. Can run up and down the stairway in factory as- nimbly as ever.

Round Mountain, Tex., March 29,1887. A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled wii li bumps and . imples on her face and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau tify and improve her complexion; but these local applications were only temporary and left her skin in a worse condition. 1 I recommended an internal application— known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have been using and sel-ing about two years; she used three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth and her general health much improved. She expresses herself as well satisfied and can recommend it to all who are thus affected. Mrs. S. M. Wilson. TESTIMONIAL OF HON. THOS. PAULK, OF BERRIEN COUNTY.
