Representatives of the Wo.l-
Growers’ Association have had ao in
terview with the representatives of the
wool manufacturers, and the latter
have declined to co-operate with
them. The wool growers threaten, in
consequence, to use their influence to
prevent the final adoption of the wool
schedule. Referring to this state of
facts the Savannah Mews remarks:
“Here is the tariff* matter put plainly
If sheep were raised inside of so much
brick and mortar, instead of roaming
in the fields, "there might be concord.
As it is, a wool manufacturer is a
‘baron/ while a grower may be wont-

To protect a farmer, in the eyes of a
statesman like Hiscock, would be ab
surd.”
Young Mr. Felton, .of the Macon
bir, who delivered the welcoming ad
dress to the State Agricultural Con
vention on behalf of the city of Macon
last Monday, is too modest by half.
With naive simplicity he alluded fo
his limited experience in farming as a
disqualification to even attempting to
give his auditors any hints on practi
cal or theoretical agriculture. Heav
ens! He might have taken up any de
partment embraced in the wide field
of agriculture and fpread himself
ad libitum, without danger of com
ment or criticism. He will do better
next time, after he hears how glibly
his cultivated and scientific auditors
can talk about agricultural topics. Let
him ponder over the following irrever
ent comment of the Athens Banner-
Watchman awhile:

The boai'd of aldermen of New
York, adopted a resolution_a few days
ago, authorizing the police cornmis
potters not to grant aoy more per-
mits to the men and wpjggn known
as the salvation army, to march
throught the streets with bass drums
and other musical instruments. This
was doufc because the campaign of the
“army” was becoming vigorously
aggressive. The members of the
army left their barracks every night
in battle array, with tifesaud drums
and created much disturbance.
The Montreal Herald thinks that
if Sir Alexander Halt’s programme of
a.British federation, in which all. the
British colonies should be represent
ed iu Parliament, and part with .a
portion of thair rigiil to complete
self-goverrment; were adopted, the
result would he a dismemberment of
the empire and the independence of
Canada, it we may judge from
snmd indications tliirt.nr». given, the
attachment of Canada to the mother
country is conditioned upon the real
independence of the Dominion—
which is not very far from a para
dox.
Some “startling figures’’ have been
going the rounds of the press, orrigi-
nally appearing in the London Tima,
tending to show that Switzerland had
become one of the most drunken
countries of the Old World. To off
set this, a high official of the Belgian
Government publishes some facta
and figures which show that Belgium
is worse off in this particular than
Switzerland. He says: “Since 1830
the consumption of alcohol has
quintupled, and it is now forty litres
per head of the adult male popula
tion. For the accommodation of 1,-
250,000 male adults in Belgiotn there
are 102,000 public houses of various
kinds, or one drinking shop to every
12 persons. The medical officers at
the Brussels hospital say that of
every 100 cases under their care
which terminate fatally, 80 are due
to the effects of alcohol. While in
1875 there were 352'suicides in Bel
gium, there were 581 in 1880. Swiss
figures are not at hand, bat the
(bowing made for Belgium is consid
ered worse.
As incident occurred in the South
ern Hotel, Sl Louis, recently, which
illustrated the apothegm that “virtue
is its own reward.” Wm. Baner-
lein, a Milwaukee drummer, while
passing through the gentlemen’s par
lor picked up a pockelbook contain
ing $10,000 in cash, certificates and
cheeks. Shortly afterward Mr. Mc-
Giiiicudy, the Indian agent at the
Pine Ridge Agency, who has lately
figured before the pjbltc in connec
tion with troubles with Red Cloud,
rushed into the office and told the
rlerk that he had lost his pocket-
book, and wanted a carriage to go to
police headqnarters and ofjer a re
ward of $800 for its recovery. He
wa^ very much excited, his teeth
were chattering and l\is face was
ashy pale. Mr. Bauerlein, who was'
present, turned over the property, 1
and the generous McGillicuddy in
vited him to take a drink and call on
him if he ever visited the Pine Ridge
Agency, much to the disgust of the
'cntleinen present Considering the
“opportunities” of the average In
dian agent, McGillicuddy’s conduct
was consummately niggardly.

In certain sections of the country’
there are religions sects known as
Shakeis; bat for the present we will
not s,>eak of them. The “shakers” to
whom we refer are those who suffer

therefore, we recommend Saliclyica
as a panacea for their ailments. Try
it and be convinced of its curative
powers.
The North Carolina Senate has
passed a law making lobbying pun
ishable by imprisonment for not less
than one year nor more than ^ five
years. 'This action causes consider
able excitement and comment
piofossiona! rides very lengthy., but
“vi-iis few anil far between.” I left
there iu the fall of 1844 to attend the
Gubernaloriitl convention that nomi
nated Geo. W. Crawford for Gov
ernor. From Milledgevillc I kept
on lo Columbia county, where my
wife, with Iter young son, was on a
visit to lather ami mother, Mr. and
Mrs. Uriah Harris. 1 l ad been in
tlie house but a short, tittle when
Mr. Harris -aid to me, “Doctor,you
must not go back to Albany.” My
reply was prompt and quirk: ”1 ac
knowledge, kind sir, the justness of
your demand, and if von will.make ,
it to our interest, 1 sec nothing to
prevent it. White i like Albany and
its citizens and my home tin re, still
I am not so hound up that 1 cannot
tear myself away”. The next morn
ing bright and early he and I set
out on a tour of investigation and
on the lookout fur a local habita
tion. Before evening closed upon
our labors 1 bad traded wild Dr.
Titos. II. Dawson for his pretty resi
lience on the bill overlooking Ap
pling. the county shire. On my re
turn to Albany, and on taking down
my ••xliinglc,’" the news that 1 was
going to leare the town fell upon the
citizens like a “clip of thunder Irom
a clear sky.’ In the three and a-
■haIf years J had there.; jtad
made many warm friends, front
whom it was not pleasant to sever
my connection as a citizen, friend
aud physician. Many and great
have been the changes between then
and now. Space will not be a.low-
able, to speak of the great and mighty
conflict, which deluged our then fair
laud' in tdood, with a vast number of
our best specimens of intellectual
aud physical manhood. I continued
the practice of medicine for several
years. In 1856 I lost my wife, sold
out ray home in Appiitigand turned
my attention to politics—became a
public man. As a Whig I fought
the Democrats, and when the Ameri
can or Know Nothings started with
their secret and dark lantern move
ments, I united with the “old iron-
ribbed, nnterrified Democracy.”
But when the Radical party, bolster
ed up with bayonets, took possession
of our State government, and ruled
the hour, then it was that I con
ceived it to be my duty and tbatof
every true aud loyal citizen of the
South to show the kind of metal
there was in him. All through the
dark days of reconstruction I was
ever ready to strike Radicalism blows
as heavy and as thick I could lay
them on. About this time the K. K.
K’s., a mysterious mythical body, or,
as some said, spirits, came upon the
scene, and were a terror to white
Radicals and colored politicians.
The Democracy sympathized, of
course, with them, acting upon the
idea that when ba<t men have sway,
aud a lawless clan of conspirators
are in power, “self-preservation,’’
“the first law of human nature,’’
must be resorted to. As a general
rule I am opposed to mob law, bnt I
did not nor do not now regard the
K. K. K’s. as a mob, but rather in the
light of true blue, genuine regula
tors, intending to work out the de
livery of the country front the hands
of the “powers lhat be.’’ 1 kept in
the political harness until the year
1879, when I was a member of the
State Senate. Before-the close of
the session in October, I think, I
found my health was fast failing me,
and from that day to this I have
never seen a well day. My disease
is one of the m03t dreadful, painfni
and obnoxious of all diseases that
man is heir to. It is enlargement
of the piostate gland with chronic
cystitis or inflammation of the blad
der. For relief I have consulted
some of the best and most skillful
physicians of the State, of Augusta
Savannah and Atlanta. Beside this
I have received voluntary contribu
tions and suggestions from friends
from all parts of the State. Among
this latter class, Capt. Wm. H. Tor-
pin, (a prince of clever fellows), and
a friend of the long ago, seems to
trom the cow, butter-milk, c*abber
curd and cheese, which is milk,
think, in its last unalysi '. [ mas)
give some credit to this dick I take
it in some one ot these forms at
every titeal. Cheese, we know, has
rather a ciuis’ipatiiig effect. No
doubt were I to drink the water
fresh from the well I would have
derived more marked benefit from it,
for it stand-to reason that some of
its virtues ate lost iu transportation.
I have heard it ofren said that there
is in au.idote for every bane. This
di.-ease of mine is considered one of
t lie opprobria niedieorum, and de
ties the skill of the wisc-t and best
of the. faculty. Though . Warner’s
Safe Liver mol Kidney Cure is laud'
ed to Hie skies as a sure remedy for
this disease, even if taken almost in
articulo mortis, my faith in it is of
the mustard seed kind. But who
can say hilt tvhal God, iu His mys
terious ways and providences, has
given to poor, afflicted human na
ture in this water, found away
down in the bowels of the earth, a
remedy which science hitherto has
failed to discover: So mote it be.
Then will Albany become a Mecca,
to'wtiich annual pilgrimages will be
made for health, which is the most
desirable of all earthly blessings.
These random thoughts at random

THE CHINESE AFFAIR-

Waynesboro.
take and feel a deep interest in me.
The last suggestion from him was to
come to Albany and drink tbe water
from an artesian well lately bored
in that city, giving me an acconut of
the case of Maj. Elliott, who came
there from Florida at death's door,
and who, by drinking of this water
alone, began to improve, and in 30
days had gained 30 pounds, and now
considers himself a sound, well
man. My circumstances were such
that I could not break up, having
but recently quit boarding and
moved into my new home, where I
could enjoy that privacy and quiet
which is so 'much needed in one in
my fix. To say to you that I at
times suffer agony does not express
it My pains and suffering are al
most unendurable, and life, which is
sweet and dear to us all, seems at
times not to be worth the keeping.
Iu these long months I have tried
many things, and while I am now
far from being a well or sound man,
yet tor the past sis weeks there has
been a decided change for the better.
For the past week it has been
known time the case against certain
parties in Waynesboro for breaking
up Lao Chong & Co, was likely to
take a new turn. The day after tbe
Chinamen were driven from their
store, they came to Augusta, as has
been announced in the Chronicle,
and consulted lawyers with the in
tention of getting redress for their
injuries. They were probably not
exactly pleased with the outlook in
tile I oral courts, for they telegraph
ed an account of their misfortune to
the Chinese Minister at Washington
City, flte inner tiled the telegram
in the Department of Justice, sup
plemented by certain information
afterward obtained. The United
States Attorney-General, so soon as
the case came before him, instructed
Mr. S. A. Darnell, of Savannah, as
sistant District Attorney of tbe dis
trict, to proceed to Augnsta and as
certain all the facts in the case with
a view of prosecuting the parties in
the United States Court. Mr. Dar
nell came to Augusta aud consulted
with Mr. Boykin Wright, Solicitor
General of the Superior Court of this
Circuit. The former gentleman also
obtained such statements and facts as
he could relative to the affair, and
forwarded them by mail and tele
graph to the Department of Justice
at Washington.
Here the matter willyest until the
United Stales Attorney.-General ren
ders his decision as to tbe disposi
tion of the case. The State Courts
will probably await the action of
the Federal Courts. It is now be
lieved that the recent decision of the
National Supreme Court in the
Force Bill will prevent the Federal
Courts from^ taking any cognisance
of tbe affair, [in wbicli case the State
officers will press the matter in the
Circuit Courts. This much, then,
for the criminal side of the case.
The suit for civil damages can be
conducted, of’ course, in the United
States Courts, as the plaintiffs are no;
residents of Georgia. It is said that
tbe Chinamen are endeavoring tu
secure the services of Messrs. Ganabi
& Wright for the civil suit.
THE WESTERN UNION 3JULCTED.
A Verdict for Damasea Agalnat It
Affirmed on Appeal.
Richmond, Va^ Feb, 16,1883.—The
Court ot Appeals to day renderedan
opinion in a case invoiving the liabili
ty of a telegraph company for dama
ges for the failure of prompt trans
mission of messages, entrusted to
them. The case was that of Ren-
nolds Brothers, of Norfolk, who filed
a cipher dispatch consisting of nine
letters in the office of the Western
Union Telegraph Company in that
city. The company employees failed
to send the message off. Rennolds
Brothers brought suit, claiming that
they had sustained damages to the
amount of |$1,300 |by the failnre to
transmit their dispatch. The com
pany claimed that they were not
nndcr obligations to do more than
refund tho tariff on the message.
They further pleaded lhat they had
paid the penally of $100 imposed by
the State laws for their neglecL The
jury awarded the plaintiff the dama
ges claimed, the defendants appeal
ed, and the Court of Appeals to-day
affirmed the judgment of the lower
court, all of the members concurring
in the opinion except Judge Lewis,
who dissented.
Theories of floods come now along
with the fact. The denunciation ot
the forrests is held responsible for it,
and correctly perhaps. Meantime
the tarriff ou lumber must not be re
moved but we must as a wise and
irudent people continue to pay a
tunty for the stripping of our wood
ed lands.
—The Americas Recorder states
that work on the artesian well in
flat town' will be.liegan lit' about
three weeks..’
—The Savannah Recorder of the
18th Inst. says. “The Savannah,
Florida and (Western Railway had
among its receipts yesterday 526
bales of cotton, 19 cars of lumber,
1,000 barreUPof naval stores, 37 bar
rels and 1,650 boxes of aranges, 8
crates of peas and miscellaneous ar
ticles or ft eight”
—The Thomasviile Times says of
its artesian well: A depth of fifteen
hundred feet was reached yesterdav
evening. For the last 60 or 70 feet
the boring has been through a marl,
or kind or soap stone formation.
These are said to be good indica
tions for water. The tools are work
ing splendidly, doing their work
steadily and surely in the skillful
hands of Mr. Hefright. Nothing
short of a stream of burning sulphur
from below will stop the work.
—The Augusta Chronicle says:
The farmers of Georgia made, last
year, in round nnmbcrs, 900,000
bales of cotton. At an average of
$40 a bale, we have $36,000,000 as
the proceeds of last year’s cotton
crop. Now, suppose the men who
made this cotton had raised their
own provision supplies—as they un
doubtedly could have done. In
such an event, does any one suppose
people would be inquiring, what
has become of the $36,000,000 ?
Would they then be declaring that
there is no money in raising cotton ?
—The figuring editor of the Colum
bus Enquirer has been at work and
submits some facte for tbe statisti
cian. The capital employed in Co
lumbus is $5,361,109; operatives em
ployed, 4,196; wages paid, $949,808;
value raw material, $2:443,709; value
of product, $4,151,636; valne of in
crease, $1,630,359. The city ot Co
lumbus is one of tbe foremost and
most prosperous manufacturing cen
tres in the South, and in the manu
facture of textile goods alone has a
capital of $3,896,338. Colamlms
shows an increase of nearly $3,000,-
000 since the census was returned.

—The Marietta Journal has these
sensible remarks on the pistol. In
this connection dealers in these arti
cles would do well to have an eye on
the late law requiring a $25 license
from all parties having them on sale.
“Very little Canute said in favor of
the pistol. If every weapon of this
kind in the country conld be broken
up, and the handles, converted, into
kindling, and tie barrels beaten
into plow shares, we would be im
measurably better off. Possibly some
other device of Satan would soon
succeed it, but there is hardly a
chance that even tbe prince of dark-
s could conceive an instrument
half as mischievous as the pistol.”
—Rome Daily Courier: Won’t
Hon. Emory Speer find his new posi
tion a little embarrassing? It has
been his custom for years to “whoop
up the boys” of the mountains by
denouncing the internal revenue
system as a contrivance of Old Nick,
executed by his imps, and be 1
stood by tbe moonshiners and their
customers through thick and thin,
they in turn giving him their hearty
support. But it will now be the
Hon. Emory’s official duty to prose
cute these same mountain boys with
energetic zeal and ail the vim of his
flowery eloquence. If he does this
as the law requires him to do, the
last link will bo broken that united
him with his present constituency:
the mountain boy may say “Emory,
I love thee” for past convivial asso
ciation, but he wi!l be sure to add.
“nevei more be officer of mine.”

audience by ex-Prresident R. B.
Hayes in the fallowing terms:
“Ladies and Gentlemen: I im very
glad indeed that Governor Colquitt
has this opportunity to become
quainted with the people of Ohio, es
pecially with the people of the
Western Reserve. No part of the
United States devastated by tbe
civil war has recovered so quickly
from the effects as the State of Geor
gia, from whence he comes. This
condition of affairs is partly doe to
the nature of the people and also to
the conrse of the public men, among
whom none is more conspicuous for
his liberal, advanced ideas and un
tiring work in behalf of the people,
than the gentleman with ns. For
six years he was Governor, and was
lately elected to the Senate for six
years. No one in the State is enti
tled to more credit for the present
condition of Georgia than is Gov
ernor Coiqnitt. I am glad of the op
portunity to introduce him to yon,
and I want yon to give him a right
royal Bnckeye welcome.”
—Marietta Joumalt Mr. T. W.
Powell, of Green connty, is one of
the largest planters and stock raisers
in Georgia. He pastures on Ber
muda grass. He prefers to raise
males, because a mnie colt at two
years old will sell for $75 or $125,
whi’e a calf at the same age would
bringjonly $20. Last year he gath
ered 35,000 basbels of small grain,
and 10,000 bushels of Jcorti. He had
400 acres in small grain, which he
was unable to gather, which would
have averaged 50 bushels to the
acre, wbicli wonld have;run it up lo
66,000 buihels. His crop last year
was 46,000 bushels of grain. His
croppers made 150 bates of cotton.
The products of the farm last year
amounted to about thirty-five thous
and dollars, it a cost of ten thous-1
aud dollars, clearing $25,000. This
year he will plant twenty-nine hun
dred acies. Sixteen hundred he has
already in small grain, and lie will •
pnt eight hundred iu cotton and five
hundred in corn. At ono cutting

pounds of Bermuda grass on one
acre. Mr. Powell uses no commer
