§he Strald and ^tortisj| 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. A WORD IN SEASON.

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.

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. u » John M.

(, 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- Mrs. S. M. YVilson. COULD HEAR A TICK CRAYVL. Mr. C. E.

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. Mrs. Matilda Nichols, 22 Florida Street.

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. Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
