he said: “See the little children. God

kindly nature beaming visibly through
his countenance in a smile that be

they pressed eagerly around him,

1 want to speak just a word to the
good people of Albany, so that I may
correct a false rumor that has gone
out. It is reported that I advised the
Colquitt Guards not" to turn out
with the white people Saturday even-
iug in honor of ^r. Jefferson Davis. I
defy any man to ay truthfully that 1
spoke for or agaiust the Guards turning
out. In the first place I wasn't at
home. I was In Savannah. I left
here Tuesday evening, the 4th Inst.,
and returned Saturday, the 8th inst..
at 12 o'clock. Being sleepy, I came
home and went to bed, and didn't
wake up until 7 o'clock. It was my
intention to have gone to the depot,

found that tlie ball had ranged round J
the heart and probably penetrated the j
lung, aud could not then predict the
probable result of the serious wound.
MENTAL ABERRATION
is assigned as the cause of the. rash
act. It was learned from attendants
and neighbors that at irregular inter
vals, for about twelve mouths past,
Mrs Parish had evinced unmistakable
signs of mental derangement, and
once before attempted self-destruction
by jumping into a well. On Fri
day moruiug she seemed unusual
ly restless, -with -the evidences of
wandering mind, and by some means
procured the pistol, unobserved, with
which she inflicted the prolmbly fatal
wound.
3£rs. Parish bears the uaiueof a poor
but honest and respected farmer, who»
dying several years since, left her a
young aud attractive widow. She
yielded to the importuuities of one
John Bolton, and between the pair an
unhappy marriage was consummated,
the mutually galling bonds of which
union tlieeourt dissolved by divorce.
Around her life siuce, let us throw
the veil of charity, ami trust that the
peaceful consciousness of forgiveness
may ease the sin-burdened soul that
attempted to fly from the ills that she
had to those she kuows not of.

Baker County Grand Jury Pre-
•eiitmeniMt
The News and Advertlsek has
received for publication the general
presentments of theGrand Jury for the
May terra of Baker Superior Court.
With the presentments comes a note
from the. clerk of the County Commis
sioners Informing us that* that body
will jiay for same only at legal rates,
75 cents per liottndred words, and for
on6 insertion only.” That settles the
publication of the presentments of
Baker county, so far as the News and
Adverti§er Is concerned. The “legal
rates” which the commissioners desire
to apply to the grand jury present
ments were established by the Legis
lature for quite a different class of ad
vertisements, viz: sheriffs’ sales, and
cltatious, such as applications for letters
of administration, etc., ete.;emanating
from the Ordinary. Advertisements
of this class are printed in tine type, oc
cupying very little space, and at e re
quired to.be published “once a week
orfonr weeks.” For these ad vet tlse-
tnetits the legal rate of “75 cents per
hundred words or fractional part there-'
of for first insertion, aud 35 cents for
each subsequent Insertion” isfaircoih-
pensation ; but we can'tneeept the one-
time jateas fixed by the County Com
missioners of Baker for the publication
oftheir grand jury presentments. Our
last bill against Baker.county for the
general presentments was cut down
flora $1:00 per square to this “75
cell's per hundred words rate,” and we
thereby received only a bout-25 cents per
square for matter worth $1 per square.
The News and Advertiser cannot
liVe at such rates as the Commission
ers of Btiker county would fix lor it,
and must, therefore, decline to publish
the presentments for them. Some papers
would, doubtless, publish the present
ments In leaded bourgeois or brevier at
75 cents per hundred words, and say
nothing about it, but the News and
Advertiser is not one of that sort.
The practice and precedents, set by
such papers as we have alluded to have
done much to ruin the newspaper bus-
slness In some communities.

Some of the darkies were very iu-

Colquitt Guards, and those of his com
pany-who turned out with the white
people to pay their respects to ex-
President Jefferson Davis on Saturday
afternoon. Upon the other hand, their
white fellow-citizens appreciated this
evidence of loyalty and good feeling
upon ihefr part. Union soldiers who
fought against the Southern Confed
eracy toasted 3Ir. Davis and paid their
respects to him during his recent tour.
Why, then, can’t the Southern ne
groes join their white fellow'-citizens
in honoring the grand old patriot ?
But ten of his company would turn

Last Saturday was Albany's day to
look upon and honor that grand old
man, ex-President Jefferson Davis.
Enthusiasm prevailed everywhere,’
in all heart* and iu all homes. Every
body was on the very tip-toe of expec
tation. it was Albany’s gala day. All
gave themselves tfp to the occasion.
As iu Montgomery and Atlanta, and
Savannah, the one theme was Jef
ferson Davis!
Early mom found the people hurry
ing to and fro, eager to decorate the
stores and residences along the route
the honored visitor would puss. Soon
the people commenced to arrive from
the surrounding country, and every
train that came in brought crowds
from the neighboring towns. The
news that the Hon. Jefferson Davis
was expected in Albany Saturrday,
and that he would remain in tire city
until Sunday morning had spread like
vfild-fire, aud the people came from
every direction to see him.. As the
crowd iucrea-ed
THE ENTHUSIASM BECAME CONTAGIOUS.
It entered every one and led captive
every heart. The old veterans' eye
kindled with tire; the aged men re

■fervid fluency; the young men could
not restrain their overflowing, im
pulses; the children, dressed in holi
day attire, made music in their glad
some shouts; aud the ladies—God
bless them—bubbled over with joyous
enthusiasm.
Thus was the whole of Albany in
impatient readiness'for the consumma
tion of the inviting programme.
DECORATIONS ELABORATE AND BEAU
TIFUL.
May never scattered the gardens of

city of Albany ou Saturrday, for the
reception of, 1 loti. Jefferson Davis.
The cloudless morning dawned bright
ly upon a city astir with pleasurable
excitement, and there was hurrying
to and fro with no unseemly haste,
but with light hearts aud elastic steps,
born of noble enthusiasm. Albany
has.long been. famous for the profu-

All along the line were tasteful dec

the perfection of symmetry and beauty,
and the floral decorations of his house
were In good taste. Evergreens fes
tooned in graceful folds the portico
while ©exquisitely arranged flowers in
baskets and other designs adorned his
house. These decorations were near
ly all completed before 12 o'clock,
when the telegrams dismayed all en
thusiasm short of veteran, and para
lyzed all efforts at further display of
joy iu bunting and flowers. The city
was handsomely decorated, bat a more
elaborate and profuse display would
have greeted our old veteran chief had
our energies not been unnerved by the
expression of his determination to pass
us by.
THE ORDER OF THE DAY
as published in Saturday morning's
News and Advertiser was conform
ed to.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
Confederate veterans, the local mili
tary companies and the people gener
ally—some on horses, some In buggies
and carriages, and thousands on foot,
commenced to assemble, in accordance
with programme and order of the day
at the intersection of Broad and Wash-
Ington-streets to form in procession
At about 4 o'clock the longest proces
sion ol' )>eople ever formed on the
streets of Albany moved off down
Washington street toward the depot—
the mounted guard and the Montezu
ma Cornet Band in the lead.
UNWELCOME NEWS.
Early in the forenoon a dispatch was
received by Capt. Jno. A. Davis an
nouncing that Mr. Davis had left Sa
vannah at 8 o'clock, and that be was
so fatigued by tw o weeks of travel and
excitement that a change in the pro
gramme bad become imperative. In
consequence of his physical weakness
and pressing engagements at home, he
would not be able to stop over for the
night in Albany. This threw a damp
er on the preparations that were being
made for the reception, but the old
veterans who had met to see the patriot
chief of the Confederacy would not
listen to excuses or explanations. They
determined not to take no for an an
swer. and. sent the following tele
gram to Mr. Davis to be delivered to
him at Pelham:

never intended them any harm, and is

Other dispatches bad also been sent,
begging Mr. Davis to spend the night

the invitation which they had pre
viously accepted. But the veterans

days floated over the bullet-swept
fields of carnage. By it hung the
Union flag; the two never met on a
more peaceful field. Mr. H. Harris,
and Crine & Rosenthal opposite, had
their stores gaily decked. High above
the ramparts of Capt. Ed. L. Wight's

Wessolosky, two large U. S. flags

that spanned Washington street. 0ne
of the most nniqne decorative designs,
one which, perhaps, produced the
most pleasing effect, was the Confed
erate flag made entirely of flowers by
Mrs- A. Sterne. Other suitable deco.‘
rations adorned the front of A. Sterne’s
store. Mr. Jacob Ventulett, a veter
an, displayed great taste in blending
the Red, White and Blue. Welch’s
Corner, though an ornament itself,
had received the touch of ' finished
adornment, which the opposite corner
of Lamar, Rankin & Lamar reflected
in the graceful folds of bunting that
so elaborately and tastefnUj hung
over its-entire front. The office of
Judge D. H. Pope was noticeably one
of the best decorations of the day.
Mr. Morris Mayer and bis partner,
Jacob Lorch, an old veteran himself,
spared no expense or trouble to beau
tify their store, and the wreaths of
track or delay the train by force.
Finally a tel egram came, saying that
notwithstanding his fatigue and phys
ical indisposition, Mr. Davis would
stop over for an hour, which time he
would give to our people, either driv
ing through the city or holding a re
ception at such place as they might se
lect. The crowd seemed willing to ac
cept this as a compromise, inasmuch
as it would at least give them the op
portunity of seeing Mr. Davis, even if
they could not enjoy the privilege of
shaking him by the hand and hearing
him speak.
But they all, or as many as could get
within the range of his voice, not only
saw him, bat heard him speak. The
train rolled in at about 5:20 o'clock
amid the roar of cannon, welcoming
-trains of marie and the enthusiastic
shouts of thousands of human voices.
After a little unavoidable delay, Mr.
Davis was escorted from his car to the
platform which had been erected on
the west side of the depot. The crowd
surged to and fro, each and every one
In the vast multitude being anxious
to get a good view of the loved and

to me, “Our people owea great debt to

said, “If it had not been for your fight

Well, the war is over. We have
nothing to regret unless it be our want

sought no conquest of others, when

for you to keep them. [Tremendous

Onr people were unwilling for Hr.
Davis to leave Albany without seeing
the decorations that had been made in
his honor. He was escorted to *a car
riage, and with the mounted veterans
for an advance guard, the carriage
moved off, followed by the great pro

Davis was his daughter and General

A SHORr STOP AND RECEPTION AT CAPT.
JNO. A. DA VIS'S.
Upon reaching the shade of the over
spreading branches of the magnificent
water oaks that stand like sentinels at
the approaches that lead to Capt. Jno.
A. Davis's residence, the line was
brought to a halt. Mr. Davis, with
his entire party alighted from their
carriages with their escorts and enter
ed the home, the hospitalities ot which
were so freely and sincerely tendered.
Here, seated in the spacious hallway,
with fragrant flowers which filled the
air with their fragrance, Mr. Davis
held a reception long to be remember
ed in the history of onr city. After
Mr. Davis and party had refreshed
themselves with wine and a moment’s
rest, the ladies and girls were admitted
into the coveted presence. Many la
dies, some of whom, like' Spartan wo
men of old, sacrificed their husbands
and sons upon the altar of a cause of
which he was a mournful though grate
ful reminder, gathered around the
grand old man to express their pleas
ure at meeting him. Some few im
printed upon his brow the kiss of rev
erence and love.as they would kiss
some cherished relic of the past.
Many of onr citizens enjoyed the
pleasure and ho-or of an introd action
both to Mr. and Miss Davis. Miss Da
vis was easy and dignified, and mani
fested winning grace to all presented.
At the expiration of the time permitted

and iu Ills feebleness he was assisted to

Primary Elections.
In mingling with our people we find
much misapprehension on the part of
many Gordon Democrats as to what is
meant by primal v elections. So much
80 we deem it. proper to explain tlieir
practical workings.
There is no difference between a
primary ami a general election, except
that in a general election members of
all parties' vote, while in a primary,
like the one now atlvocat d for general
adoption throughout the State, only
Democrats are expected to vote.
The various precincts iu each militia
district are open a* in regular elections.
A primary, in other words, is a minia
ture elect ion, hut oftentimes assuming
large pro|»ortions, ami inteuiled to be
confined to the members of the party
interested. The object is to get the
will of the DeMncralic voters aud uot
the popular will as declared by. the At
lanta palters.
Bat wi.li a I due deference to Geu.
Gordon am! hi? Atlanta mauugers, we
cauLOt agree that the Democratic will
is best ascertained iu a primary. Aud
why ? Because, as wc have witnessed,
voters, other than Democrats, cast
their votes. Xor can .this improper
practice be well hindered. .At the
various precincts, under the beat of
partisan impulse, imprudent and de
signing partisan* bring to the polls
those not of the Democratic household
declaring they have in the past voted
for such and such a Democrat. The
result is that votes not .Democratic go
into the ballot box, aud the party is
without protection, as these primaries
are not tinder restraints of the law.
In ante-bellum times, when a higher
standard of public conduct was in
vogue, as in the good oltl day? of Whigs
and Democrat*, primaries were com
mon. But after trial, under the uew
era of universal suffrage, they became
unpopular, and fell absolutely Into
“innocuous desuetude” when the Con
stitutional Convention of 1877 required
general elections every two years, and
when it was found practically impossi
ble to exclude those not Democrats
from the l>olls.
We regard with disfavor the plan,
when a mass meeting assembles, ttf ap
pointing committees to suggest dele
gates. But why not get the sense of
the meeting by ballot?
The primary plan, we trust, is not
suggested as a decoy duck to deteat the
Democratic, will. Our party machinery
already suffers much from disintegrat
ing tendencies brought about by the
shock of 1880 ami the general disap
pointment in Mr. Cleveland. The op
portunity is favorable for innovation.
A primary is equivalent to an election.
Upon its heels soon follow the genera!
election. Do we need both? Is the
primary plau practicable?
We are opposed to frequency of
elections. They beget evil, aud evil
only.- When the Constitutional Con
vention was in session we addressed
letters to Gen. Gartrell, Judge Reese,'
Gov. Jeuklus, Col. Tift .tilt! other dis
tinguished men, setting forth the im
propriety of changing the gubernator
ial term from four to two years. But
Geu. Toombs was allowed to control
and the State was subjected to a guber
natorial election every two years. •
We have no advice to offer as to what
course Dougherty shall pursue. The
primary plan has not been tried here
since the wa;. We have explained the

Columbia. S. C., Ji^y 1884.
Westmore land Bros.-Deiitienien: I
have very thoroughly tested your Cal-
isaya Tonic, and do* not hesitate to pro
nounce it a most remedial age: t. As a
stomachic ami general tonic it is un-
*urpnssed. For eliminating malarial
poi-on? from tiicsy-tem and repairing
theirdelererimi* effects: for rebuilding,
reinvigoraling and giving tone to the
system when reduced by protracted or
severe fever* or other debilitating
causes, there is iu niv judgment no
other preparation in the whole field I
of medicine equal u» it. But esj*ecial- •
iy is it useful in malaria! disorders,
both as a curative aud a propralact'c.
