Newnan, Ga., Friday, September28,1888.
BOTH SIDES DISCUSSED.
“Hippies” Tells What He Knows About
the Agricultural Department.
I will now answer “Farmer’s” letter
of September 7th.
“Farmer” seems to think that I place
him in a false light, because I said he
seemed incredulous, and wishes 4o
know what word or words did I indi
cate that he was incredulous. I reckon
“Farmer” has forgotten that he said
in a former communication that I must
have dreamed some things, and that he
could hardly believe that J. T. Hender
son, a young man whom he (“Farmer”)
knew in school to be all right, should
be guilty of official malfeasance, or
words to that effect.
I have no desire to place any one in a
false light, and more especially my
learned friend, lawyer, teacher and
farmer, who certainly understands that
incredulity means not believing a thing.
“Farmer” says t hat I mention items
the use of which in all departments is
well known. I have examined the re
port of the Comptroller-General under
Gov. J. if. Smith’s administration and
don’t find in said report where the
Comptroller charged the State with
ice tickets, rent of wells, dusting car
pets, washing towels, toilet soap, rent
of telephone at a cost of $04 per year
to the people of Georgia; no bills for
the City Directory of Atlanta; no sub
scription to political newspapers, ex
cept one subscription to the Atlanta
Constitution, and that was the Gover
nor’s State organ. So far as I have been
able to investigate I find no such items
as above mentioned in the State Treas
urer’s reports. T hese departments are
of vastly more importance to the State
than the Agricultural Department.
“Farmer” says the Agricultural De
partment cannot be charged with the
inspection and analyses of fertilizers;
that they arc separate and distinct, both
as to duties and expenses. If the in
spection and analyses have nothing to
do with the Agricultural Department,
why did the joint committee appointed
to investigate the Agricultural Depart
ment, and the mode and manner of in
specting fertilizers, make the following
report:
“The committee is of the opinion that
in the administration of the law regu-
lating the inspection of fertilizers the
Commissioner has discharged his duty,
except a lack of due caution in guarding
the distribution of tags by the inspec
tors.”
I haven’t space to give the full report.
See report of joint committee, July 20,
1883.
If the Commissioner lias nothing to
do with the inspection of fertilizers
why did that committee put him
through such a rigid examination in
regard to the inspection of fertili
zers ?
I now come to that subscription mat
ter concerning the Macon Telegraph.
Both subscriptions were paid in one
year, and that is why I noticed it. But
is there any justice or reason for taxing
the people to pay for J. T. Henderson’s
political newspapers? The Macon Tel
egraph, the Augusta Chronicle, and the
Atlanta Journal are all red-hot political
papers, published in the interest of a
certain political party, and have no con
nection with the agricultural interests
of the country, hut are devoted to par
ty politics: and yet the people are taxed
to pay Commissioner Henderson’s sub
scription for the same.
Now, if there is any law authorizing
such an expenditure, either under the
head of contingent expenses or other
wise, it is am unjust law and should be
repealed.
If Commissioner Henderson does like
most business men he carries those pa
pers home for his family to 'read. Of
what, service is a political paper to the
Agricultural Department? If there is
no law for such, then there is right
smart crookedness about the matter.
I here insist on “Farmer’s” saying
whether or not it is right for the people
to be taxed to pay for Commissioner
Henderson’s papers, and whether it
was just for Commissioner Henderson
to charge the Department with a sub
scription to the Century, or to go back
two years and make the Department pay
liis subscription to the Augusta Chroni
cle for the year 1S78. Mr. Henderson
gets a salary of $2,000 a year and all his
traveling expenses, which amount to
about $1,000 a year. The poor, toiling
laborer works from daylight the first
day of January until dark the last day
of December, and then many of them
don’t have a peck of meal or a pound of
meat—and yet they are taxed to pay
the newspaper subscriptions of salaried
officers!
I will ask “Farmer” if Commissioner
Henderson’s stomach is any nicer than
his or of hundreds and thousands of
others who drink water without ice in
it? Or is he any better than the com
mon people of Atlanta that he has to
rent a well to get drinking water?
Mrs. O’Connor’s well must be a pretty
hot one. I thought the city of Atlanta
had waterworks and free wells. I hope
“Farmer” will tell us in his next letter
how far Mrs. O’Connor’s well is from
Commissioner Henderson’s office.
I will now notice that kaffir corn bus
iness. If II. J. Moats is not related to
Jack Henderson, I reckon as how W. T.
Henderson is, and that his father, Jack,
or uncle, or whatever he may be, paid
W. T. $90 for twelve bushels of kaffir
corn January 12th, 1S87, and May 14th,
(same planting season) paid Dr. J.
H. Watkins only $4 per bushel. Now
let us look at these transactions. “Far
mer” says it was late in the season
when Watkins sold his corn, and that
made the difference in price. Dr. Wat
kins sold his corn at the proper season
for planting kaffir corn, and all such
crops. Watkins’ corn had time to drj ;
Moats had just gathered his and threw
it on the market while green;-for we
find that Commissioner Henderson
bought of Moats five bushels kaffir corn
on the 13th day of September, 1886. and
paid him $60 cash for the same. Now,
♦everybody knows that all produce is
cheaper in the fall of the year than in
the spring, because in the fall every-
thing is green and heavy. Whoever
heard of corn declining $8 per bushel
in so short a time before? Which of
the two men, Moats or Watkins, put
their corn on the mnrket at the proper
season ? I leave the public to judge.
W. T. Henderson put his kaffir corn on
the market January 12th, 1887, and re
ceived $90 in cash for twelve bushels
from J. T. Henderson. I never heard
of but one kind of kaffir corn.
I ask “Farmer” to show the law au
thorizing Jack Henderson, as he calls
him, to charge the Agricultural Depart
ment with his newspaper subscriptions.
“Farmer” admits in one of his commu
nications that there might be errors in
the administration of the department.
I can’t see why “Farmer” should take
such a deep interest in trying to sustain
Henderson in his extravagance, unless
he expects some reward from his friend
Jack.
I will answer again soon.
Ripples.
The Agricultural Department.
In my last I referred to the assertion
made by “Ripples” that the “crooked
ness of the Agricultural Department
(meaning by crookedness, frauds,) was
made public and brought to light by
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson in the last Leg
islature.” Permit me to illustrate a
little further the absurdity of this as
sertion.
The Journal of the last House of
Representatives shows that, on ac
count of some remarks having been
made on the floor of the House, re-
flecting upon the management of the
Department, the Commissioner of Ag
riculture asked the Legislature, in wait
ing, for a thorough investigation, and
a resolution was introduced in the
House to appoint a joint committee for
this purpose, which resolution was re
ferred to a standing committee, and Yvas
reported back to the House, and
finally voted dow r n. And the journal
shows, by the roll call, that Mr. Atkin
son was present each day when the
matter was before the House—that is,
when the communication from Hen
derson was received, and when said
resolution was introduced, when it was
referred to a committee, when the
committee reported it back, and when
it was voted upon and voted dowrn—
and if he opened his mouth the jour
nal is silent about it. Now', if he had
found out, or knew of any crookedness,
any fraud or mismanagement in the
Department, then was the time for him
to have made it known, and if he had
done so the whole Legislature would
have voted to have the investigation;
or, if he had found out any fraud after
wards and had made it known, Hender
son having asked for an investigation.
The Legislature would have changed
their action, and would have voted
solidly for the investigation. Where,
then, were the “fifty-four farmers” that
were in the Legislature that “Ripples”
speaks of, and the others that were so
much astonished at the exposures of
fraud? Then -was the time for them to
speak out. Would they silently stand
by and take no action in such a grave
matter? Let me assure “Ripples” that
he is under a most astonishiug delu
sion. There were no exposures and
there was nothing to expose.
I do not wish to be understood as
condemning or even censuring Atkin
son. I am his friend. He represented
our county faithfully and ably in the
Legislature, and will do so again. What
I object to is, that some of his impru
dent or uninformed friends seek to in
jure another by claiming for him w r liat
he does not deserve. I would have
nothing to say, no matter what they
claimed for him, whether true or false,
if it did not affect others. But when
they claim what is not true for him and
injures Henderson, the friends of Hen
derson and of the Agricultural Depart
ment have a right to speak out. Such
assertions as I have Deferred to, when a
little light is thrown upon them, are
seen to be without a shadow of truth,
and prove an injury to the person they
were intended to benefit. A man
sometimes needs to be protected from
his friends more than from his enemies.
I make no attack upon Atkinson, but
defend Henderson against an unjust
attack of “Ripples,” in which attack
“Ripples” seeks to injure Henderson
by claiming great credit for Atkinson
for what he did not do, and, so far as
the Journal of the House discloses, did
not try to do, and what he could not
have done if he had tried; simply be
cause the frauds spoken of did not ex
ist. But “Ripples” says that “if he
was a member of the Legislature, he
don’t think he would drink ice-water
at the expense of the people.” It is
recorded of a certain individual that on
one occasion “he thanked God that he
was not as other men were.” Perhaps
“Ripples” feels a little like that man.
What would he do ? When the long
summer session came on, would he have
a jug of good water, for himself, under
his desk, or a pitcher of ice-water on
his desk, bought with his own means,
while all the other members around
him were drinking ice-water at the ex
pense of the State? Does he really
think he would do that way ? Does he
really think, if he was there, he would
be more honest than any other man
who ever went to the Legislature ?
One thing I wish to say : The ex
penditures of the Department of Agri
culture are hedged in and guarded and
protected by law, as well as is possi
ble to be done in any department of
our government. The Commissioner
of Agriculture cannot get one dollar,
one nickel of expense in his depart
ment, without the Governor exam
ines that item and passes upon it
and approves it and issues his warrant
for the money to be paid. And such
items as “Ripples” is complaining of, in
the expenses of the Department, have,
in this way, been approved by Gov.
Smith, Gov. Colquitt, Gov. Stephens,
Gov. Boynton, Gov. McDaniel and Gov.
Gordon. Is not “Ripples” blaming the
wrong man? The Legislature appro
priates the money for a purpose, puts
it there for the Commissioner to spend,
and the Governor approves the way in
which he spends it. Is not the res
ponsibility on the Legislature and the
Governor ? A great deal has been said
about the extravagant expenses of the
Department, and the sum has been
placed, at times, very high. But it
cannot exceed the appropriation for it,
to-wit: $10,000 and the salaries of cer
tain officers, the whole amounting to
$14,200. And if the expenditures were
to amount to one dollar over this sum,
it would be the duty of the Governor to
scratch his pen across that dollar and
not allow it paid. The expenses of
the Department cannot go over that
amount. And a noteworthy fact is, the
Department raises the funds out of
which its own expenses are paid, and
pays sixty or seventy thousand dol
lars besides, which goes in the way
of helping to educate the children of
the State. And what is still another
very noteworthy fact is that in raising
these amounts that cover its own ex
penses and adds so large a sum to the
school fund, it confers a big benefit up
on those from whom these amounts are
raised. (See article in The Herald
and Advertiser August 31st, on “In
spection of Fertilizers.”) Can this much
be said of any other department of
Government ? The Department cannot
spend a cent that is not appropriat
ed by the Legislature; the Governor
has to sanction the way every cent is
spent of that appropriation; the De
partment raises its own expenses and a
large fund for school purposes besides,
and, in its act of raising these sums,
it greatly benefits those from .whom
the sums are raised.
I wish to ask “Ripples” some ques
tions: If using, at the public expense,
the things that “Ripples” complains of,
makes Henderson a. rascal, does not the
use of the very same things, at the pub
lic expense, make other officials rascals
also? If the use of these things makes
Henderson and other officials rascals,
does not the act of Governor Gordon,
and the other Governors I have named,
in sanctioning and approving the use
of such things, make Governor Gordon
and the other Governors, each and all
of them, rascals also? And if the use
of ice and water, atthe public expense,
makes Henderson a rascal, did not the
use of ice and water, at the public ex
pense, during last summer’s session,
make Atkinson and Mixon rascals, also?
How can the same thing be wrong in
one man, and all right in another? How
can it make one man a rascal and leave
others gentlemen ? Let “Ripples”
answer. A Farmer.

all the time. I saw one man who said he was
cured by using Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B. B)

REMARKABLE SHOWING FOR B. B.
B. AGAINST OTHER REMEDIES.
, Putnam Co., April 27, 17.
I have been suffering lor most thirty years
with and itching and burning all over my
face and body. I took eighteen bottles of one
blood medicine and it did me no good. 1 com-
menced last January to use B. B. B., and af
ter using five bottles I felt stouter and better
than I have in thirty years, my health is bet
ter, and I weigh more than I ever did. _ The
itching has nearly ceased,and I am confident
that a few more bottles of B. B. B. will cure
me entirely. I am sixty-two years old now
and can do a good day’s work in my field. I
consider B. B. B. the best blood purifier thatjl
have ever seen, for it certainly did me more
good than all the medicine I have ever taken.
I had, in all, nearly- a hundred risings on my
face, neck and body. James Pinkerton.
2 BOTTLES CURE RHEUMATISM.
Bougtiton, Ark., June-1.1887.
I cheerfully state t he following facts in re

My little son, 1-1 years of age, suffered from an
acute attack of rheumatism,caused by undue
exposure and chitling of the blood. I heard
your remedy highly recommended, and pur
chased a bottle from Moncrief A Bro., Pres
cott, Ark. In about one month, after using
this bottle he became so much better that I
got the second bottle, which is now being us
ed, and my son is nearly well, and 1 think by
removing him to a cooler summer climate
(which I will do) and continuing its use, a
perfect cure will be effected. I consider B.B.

A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years "NY ith Rheumatism
and Now Entirely Well.
I ha ve been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarceij
walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At
night could not sleep for the excruciating
pain. The bone iu one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dn-
ferent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumat ism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing ol 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; but,
thank God. I am very muen relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and I am in no pain
whatever. Am at. work again, and have been
for several davs. Can run up and down the
stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. I
thank you for this earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because I feel grateful for what
has been done l'or me. I am yours, very
truly, W. A. Moore,
Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
If any one should doubt as to my being
cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to
the firm I am with aud have been with for
many wars: Mr Phillip Young, of Chatta
nooga;" Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry,
with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga: Dr. Acre, of

SHE HAD TRIED EY'ERYTHING ELSE.
Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn.,
June 20, 1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga.—
Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you
for son; e time to let you know of the wonder
ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of IS years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used aoout 30 bottles of other medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation. That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan
uary, 1S87, and while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberiand Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot
tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my girl’s leg was entire
ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore
on the calf ol my leg and one bott le cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
hurnanitv may hear and believe in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four
blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is the only one
that ever did me or mine any good. You can
use my name if you wish. I am well known
in this and Washington county, also all over

BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Booxeville, Ind.. January 27, 1S87.
I shall ever praise the day that you gentle
men were born, and shall b ess the day that
your medicine was known to me. I had blood
poison from birth, and so much so that all
the doctors of my town said J would be crip
pled for life. They said I would lose my low
er limb. I could not stand in my class to re
cite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your
Balm cured me sound and well. You can use
my name as you see fit. Iu my case there
were knots on my shinbones as large as a
hen’s egg. Yours, Mihtle M. Tanner,
A GOOD EXPERIMENT.
Meridian, Miss., July 2, 1887.
For a number ol years I have suffered un
told agonies from the eflects of blood poison.
I had mj'case treated by several prominent
physicians, and recivedbut little, if any relief.
I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spending a large amount ol money hut getting
no better. My attention was attracted by the
cures said to have been effected by B. B. B.,
and I began taking it merely as aexperiment,
having but little faith in the ultimate results.
To my utter surprise I soon commenced to
improve, and deem myself to-day a well and
hearty man—all owing to the excellent qual
ities of B. B. B. I cannot commend it too
highly to those suffering from blood poison.

IT REMOVED THE PIMPLES.
I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for
a number ol* years, and in that time have had
occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect
of nearly all the highly reconi mended prepar
ations or patent medic nes on the market, as
I h ive suffered untold misery myself, the past
number of years, from a severe form of in
flammatory rheumatism, and could und
nothing to cure or relieve me. I had al#iost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or less frauds until about one .. ear
a^o, I was induced by a friend now living in
Tvler to try a preparation known as 3 B., or
rfotanic Blood Balm, and after a long per
suasion on his part, I finally made up my
mind to make one more effort to rid niyselt
of the terrible affliction; and now it affords
me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to
the citizens of Smith county that I am entire
ly cured, with no traces of the disease left,
and all effected by the magic healing proper
ties of B. B. B., which I consider the grand
est, purest, and most powerful blood remedy
known to man. I have been subject to in
flammatory attacks since ten years of age,
aud up to the piesent, time have had four.
The last spell came on me in November, lttso.
over a year ago, at which ime I was confined
to mv bed for eight weeks, passing the nights
in misery, with no sleep except when produc
ed bv narcotics and various opiates. The
week previous to using B. B. B. up to that
time I had only eaten six meals and could
ecnrcetv sit up without support; but after us-
7 n .r three bottles I was able to relish my
meals and to walk up town, and after six bot
tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en
tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt
since that time. YVhen I returned to business
In February my weight was 145 pounds, but
gradually increased until my regular weignt
°e as a train a named, 210 pounds. The noticea
ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is,
that this unparalleled and remarkable dis-
ooverv B. B. B. cured me in taid-winter, at
the verv time my sufferings and misery were
the treatest. I take it on myself as a practi
cal druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as
conscientiously, recommend this glorious
hiood remedv to all sufferers from rheuma
tism or blood troubles, and not only myself,
but the firm of McKay & Adams, who handle
it will cheerfully indorse its superior merits.

A lady friend of mine has for several years
been troubled with 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. (,
I recommended an internal application—
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and selling about two years; she
used three bottles and nearly ali 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-

‘‘I GAY'E UP TO DIE.”
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2, 1887.
I have had catarrh of the head for nearly
six years. I went to a noted doctor and he
treated me for it, but could not cure me, he
said. I was over fifty years of age aud I gave
up to die. I had a distressing cough ; my
eves were swollen aud I am confident I could
not have lived without a change. I sent and
got a bottle of your medicine, used it, and
felt belter. Then I got four more, and thank
God! it cured me. Use this any way you
may wish for the good of sufferers.

AlApaha, Ga.. June 22, 1887..—B. B. B.
Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had
suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia
for over fifteen years, and during that
time tried everything I couid hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s
bills, without receiving the slightest benefit,
Indeed. I continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm)
aud I began using it; not, however, expecting
to be benefited. After using half a bottle X
was satisfied I was being benefited, and when
the sixth bottle was used I felt like a new
man. I would not take ?1,000 for the good it
has done me; in fact, the relief that I derived
from it is priceless. I firrulv believe I would
have died had 1 not taken it.
