jhis they simply accommodate their friends

ment to us. Having experienced the in*
.Conveniences of such transactions for
leariy three years, vre concluded to sim-

istomers a printed form, with the request
at parties ordering could dll them out

•We were under the impression that in

retail liquor dealers,’ we were privi-
J to sell when and to whom we pleased,
Aided we invoiced and made shipment
ini our place of business.
The liquors are sold and invoiced from

surner, using a ‘common carrier’ in
.Jr delivery.
We are under the impression that we are
ithin the pale of the law, when we appoint
party in each town to take and transmit
lers to|us, the same as when we send our
jveling salesmen with their samples
irough the States of Georgia, Florida,

A TALK WITH JEFF DAVIS.
Opinions He Is Said to Have Expressed
About Crnnt, Sherman and Lincoln.
The Indianapolis, Ind., Journal states
that Mr. William M. Taylor, a prominent
lawyer of that cilv, recently visited Mr.
Jeff erson Davis at his home, near Beau
voir, Miss., a small station on the Louis
ville and Nashville railroad, midway be
tween Mobile and New Orleans. Mr, Tay
lor describes the home of the Confederate
leader as a typical old time plantation man
sion, one story In height, with spacious
halls and an imposing pqrtico, The
house lies in view of the Gulf, and is sur
rounded by a thick grove of orange and
magnolia trees. Mr. Taylor says that ho*
was received cordially by Mr. Davis, and,
after they had been talking a few moments,
Mrs. Davis and her daughter, a handsome
young lady, appeared in the room, accom
panied by a young Chicago lawyer. Mr.
Davis insisted that he should remain in
the house over night. During the evening
the conversation turned upon the war. and
Mr. Davis talked freely upon all subjects
that were brought up.
“What is the Southern estimate of the
Federal generals?" inquired Mr- Taylor.
‘‘I cannot give you the Southern esti
mate," Mr. Davis replied. "I can giv*
you my own estimate.
"What do you think of Grant,’’ was
asked.
‘‘Grant" he said, "was largely a creature
of circumstances. 1 remember that the
first time I met Grant was when he was
stationed on the Pacific coast as a lieuten
ant. I was then Secretary of War. He
was charged with drunkenness and negleet
of duty. I gave him his choice between
standing trial and resigning. He resigned.
I knew that he would. General Grant was
a great military commander. He was very
tenacious. He fought a battle as a matter
of business. Men were mere cogs in the
wheel. All the men and means he wanted
were placed at his command, he had every
advantage. He would have been discaarg*
ed.froin the army of the Potomac if it had
THE NEWS IN GEORGIA.
Mr. R. W. Habersham has written
a letter to the Mornhuj Newt suggest
ing that Savannah is “the proper loca
tion for an art department of the Uni
versity of Georgia.”
The Hamilton Journal will contain
aChipley department-, edited by Mr.
W. L. Palmer, of the late Ltader. This
will be an interesting feature of our
Hamilton contemporary.
Some of the Savannah dogs have
been placing themselves outside of
doses of “Rough on Rats,” and they
will never more be known to kill sheep
or bite women and children.
The walking match in Atlanta seems
to be a newspaper strike for indepen
dence of the blackberry crop. The
fellow that wins will be able to sleep
under shelter and eat hash for the rest
of the year. •
Editor Lee, of the Cuthbert Appeal,
makes this grim and suggestive re
mark: “The time is approaching when
the politician can recognize a son of
toil further than across the streets.
Elections are close at hand, you must
remember.
The difficulty between II. P. Bell
and I. S. Clement, of Cumming, grow
ing out of the shoottng of a bull by a
small darky, has been amicably set
tled. The bull and the darky are pro
bably still at variance.
not been that too many changes had al
ready taken place in the army.’ r
"What is your estimate of General Sher
man ?’’ was asked.
"Sherman," Mr. Davis said, "was look
ed upon in the South as Alaric was by the
Romans. He was their ‘scourge of God.’
He was cruel, yet he was a great strate
gist.”
"Yes," interrupted Min Davis, ‘‘he was
an inhuman monster. What he did not
use he destroyed."
"Sherman hesitated," Mr. Davis con
tinued. "for a long time between joining
the (Confederate army on the Union
army. We were uncertain which he would
do. He finally joined the Union army,
thinking, I suppose, that more could be
gained by it.
"My idea," remarked Mr. Davis, "Is that
Meade was the nio«t skillful general in the
Federal army. General Lee once said to
mo that he could understand the move
ments of all the generals in tho Federal
army easier than those of General Meade.
Those above Meade never allowed him to
display his full power. He was hampered
and kept down through jealousy."
Mr. Taylor—"How did you regard Mc
Clellan?”
"Well, sir, McClellan was the best trained
soldier in the war. While Secretary of
War 1 sent him on three important mis
sions—one to Europe, to study military
methods. He returned with a better
knowledge of military discipline and meth
ods than was possessed by any man in his
country."
Mr. Taylor—"Could he have entered
Richmond if he had pushed on across the
Chick&hominy ?”
"Well," Mr Davis answered, laughing.
"I once knew a farmer who said that if his
foresight had been as good as his hindsight
ho might have mode a fortune on cotton.
Something of the same kind was probably
the fault with McClellan. If he had known
the weakness of the Confederates, and had
thrown his arn.y across the river, I think
he could have entered Richmond. Wc
thought he would, and I believe Gen. Lee
thought so, too."
Mr. Taylor—"Who do you regard ns the
greatest of the Confederate generals'"’
"I consider Gen. Sidney Johnston
greatest general produced on either side by
the late war. Gen. Lee stands next in my
estimation, and as wc move away from the
war his desperate struggle against over
whelming numltcrs will be a marvel in war
annals."
"Mr. Lincoln was a vulgar joker," Mr.
Dnvis said,’but withal he was a grc.i^man.
He was wise and he was honest. He could
have been of great good to the South if lie
had lived and his untimely death was a
S rent loss to us.” He was quiet and in
eep meditation for several minutes, and
resumed: "Yes, it was n great loss; he was
succeeded by a low, mean demagogue—
Johnson—and a demagogue is the worst of
men. Johuson was unschooled, but a man
of great native abilities. He had no con
victions, and tried to please all. Lincoln
was n man ol great vigor of mind, al
though lie was plain and rough. If Mr.
Lincoln had lived the £outh would !ia\e
had n President that understood her con
dition. and he would huve been of more
benefit to her than nnv other man could
possibly have been. Hu was an honest
man. His death was u great misfortune
to the .South."

“The road to Romo is almost im

Banner-Watchman: Wo had a call

moderate. The wheat crop is good, as
also spring oats, but the fall sowing is
poor, many persons plowing them un

“If a man wants his record thorough
ly invcstigate*d let him run for office,”
says the DcKalb Xaes. This is true.
The man who wants office lias no right
to expect nnything else. The man
whose record can’t stand the closest
spection is not worthy of offlce.There
ill be less malfeasance in office when
the people enter more earnestly into
sucli investigations. They arc in the
public interest.
The farmers complain about being so
badly behind witli their crops. They
should remember wo have itad some
uncommon damp weather, and a late
spring beside.—Greeneoboro Home Jour
nal. It is nonsense for people that are
badly behind with tneir crops” or
anything else, to waste time in com

It is not tho duty of grand juries to
recommend any man for any offioe.
As private citizens, grand jurors arc
entitled to their preferences among
candidate's, just as are other citizens;
but as an organized body no grand j ury
has any right to enter actively into
polities. Tlie grand jury is not intend
ed ns a political institution; and
should it become one it does so at the
sacrifice of every consideration enter
ing into its constitution.
The Caiunta Courier furnishes gs
this interesting item; “The annual
sheep-shearing is now going on. The
wool clip' of Catoosa will lie larger than
Tthas lieen for many years. It is ail
industry which is steadily increasing,
and in ii few years will become of no

demonstrates, in our opinion, that
there is more in the treatment of cattle

Adulterated Food and Drink.
Grccncsboro Herald.
Tlie Suiierior Court judges arc charg
ing era id juries on tlie law, enacted by
tho last Legislature, prohibiting tlie
sale of adulterated food and diink.
This a very important matter, involv
ing, as it does, tlie health and lives of
tho citizens of the State. It has come
to that pass that it is with difficiiltv
that any articlo of diet can bo procured
in a pure state. Sugar, lard, and, in
fact, all the prime necessaries of life un
dergo an adulteration before beings
placed upon tho market. Doubtles
tho now types of discaso, which, in
some Instances, bqffie tlie diagnosis
of learned physicians, and the increase
of numerous affections, wjiich are gen
erally traceable to indigestion, are tho
result of such adulterations. Too much
stress cannot bo laid upon tho matter.
The law is a good or.e and grand jurors
should sec to its rigid enforcement.

ber could deposit one dollar for every
animal lie owns, and if one die’s
during the year lie can draw
ono hundred dollars from the funds to
buy another. By this means if >ou
should be so unfortunate as to lose a
horse or mule during the dull summer
months you could draw funds to buy
another without paying a high rate of
interest for borrowed money. “Bear
ye one another’s burdens.” This kind
of insurance lias worked well in other

that 41 will cover the risk on ono horse

nam county, which report was quite
severely criticised by the Katonton
Hettetujer. At one time our community
anticipated trouble of a hostile nature
from tills controversy, but we now-
hope such danger has passed
away. Last week the MilledgcviUe
Chronicle saw proper to question the
motives of the Maditonian in making
tills report. It is due our local paper
to say that the majority ot our citizens
are satisfied that the motive which
influenced its course in this matter was
only such os would influence a candid,
impartial journalist, and we regret to
see other journalists have seen proper
to aniinadivert upon its course. The
Maditonian it too fearless to be driven
from a position once honestly taken by
any amount of opposition.
