It does not come iu very good grace
for the editor of a protection paper to

ists would doubtless form an organiza
tion among themselves, and would
probably find home in the Re

opportunity to attack the representa

Georgia.
The Angusta Chronicle and Atlanta
Constitution are tire high priests of
protection in this State, and as Senator
Colquitt is a bold and able exponent
of tariff reform, he is made
the object of their spite and
misrepresentation. Senator Colquitt
has ably aud openly opposed the
Republicans in every purpose to rivet
more securely the claim of unjust and
uneven taxation upon the country, and
his services in behalf of the people,
are of such an appreciable character
as to excite their liveliest feelings of
gratitude. Every attack made upon
him by the disgruntled protection
sheets ot the country but strengthens
the purpose of the people to stand
more firmly by him.
If the News and Advertiser re
members correctly, It was urged as
one of tire reasons why Mr. Grady
should have been elected to the United
States Senate, that be, as a protection
Democrat, could get the ear of the
Republican administration, and yet
it is charged as treasonable in Senator
Colquitt to do anything that might
look towards shaping the Federal ap
pointments in the State. Consistency
is a jewel rarely found In possession
of protectionists, save it be a consistent
course to shape legislation so that the
farmers are taxed to the end of enrich
ing manufacturers.
What could it profit Senator Col
quitt, who has always opeuly opposed
the Republican schemes and schemers,
to enter into a secret alliance with so
weak a contingent as the Georgia Re
publicans?
In the hard fought Presidential cam
paign this friend of Georgia and Geor
gians, bore the biunt of the battle,
and shoulder to shoulder with Cleve
land, contested every inch of ground
in the defense of the constitutional
rights of the people. He Is the uncom
promising enemy of monopoly, and
the Republican legislation which
makes monopoly a possibility. It is
therefore occasion for a renewal of the
confidence, and for a strengthening of
the love and gratitude the people bear
such a faithful representative,
whenever, - on such a trivial excuse,
the protection papers of the State
make an unwarrantable attack upon
Senator Colquitt.

A Growing Evil.
The way thatrecreaut husbands have
of kllliug their wives and then killing
themselves, is becoming alarmingly
frequent.
For three successive weeks a good
wife has met death at the bauds of an
infuriated husband, one each week,
the husband in turn killing him
self. Fiisi, the whole country was
shocked at the horrible tragedy enacted
in our own quiet little city, when Wil
liam Gilmer slew his wife aud then
sent a bullet crashing into his own
brain. The week following this, a hus
band committed a similar crime in
Memphis, while the papers last week
contained an accouut of the murder
of Mrs. Sarah E. Allen at Washington,
by her husband, who fell locked in
her embrace with a bullet In his brain.
In each case the dreadful tragedy
was caused by the separation ot the
parties, the wife refusing to live with
tire husband.
Tile question naturally arises is every
husband whose wife refuses to live
with him to follow this example? It
seems that tills is the first idea sugges
ted to the minds of these unfortunates,
and it is to carried into execution be
fore the passion has time to cool.
Such a state ot affairs should not ex
ist. When the wife is living quietly
alone, unmolested by her husband,
whom she has left, resignedly accepting
the fate that unfortunate circumstances
have thrown around her,6he is entitled
to protection lrom the outrages of an
infuriated husband.
It is true that such outrages arc usu
ally plauned secretly by the husband,
who is so fiendish as to send an inno
cent woman Into eternity, and the as
sault is not anticipated, but recent ex
periences lead us to believe that uo
confidence can be placed in one who
is offended by the separation of his
wife and the women so unfortunate
as to be placed iu tills position, should
be on their guard.
Governor Gordon’s Proclamation.
Governor John B. Gordon preserves a
a watchful care over the interest, digni
ty,good order and peace of theState,and
is ever on the alert to know and dis
charge the duties of his office. Acts of
lawlessness not only meet his quick con
demnation,bnt he exhausts every rem
edy in his power;to have the offend
ers promptly brought to con-
dlgu punishment. As soon as
he returned from New York
and learned of the White Cap outrages
in Mitchell county, he very promptly
and properly issued a proclamation, in
which he offers a reward of $250 for the
arrest and delivery to the sheriff of
Mitchell county, the inceiidiaries who
fired tire gin house of the Glausier
brothers, also $100 for the apprehen
sion, with proof to con vict,thosc engag
ed In the cruel castigation of the men
and women of the couuty who fell vic
tims to the merciless hate of self-ap
pointed regulators.
In the determined effort of Governor
Gordon to ferret out, punish and stop
such outrages,, he calls for, and is en
titled to the active co-operation of the
good people of the State, especially of
that region in which these recent
shocking occurrences have happened.
The News and Advertiser has al
ready expressed tire, belief that the
good people of Mitchell would leave
no stone unturned in their effort to
purge their county of the unenviable
reputation which these lawless acts
have given it abroad. Mitchell is one
of the very best counties in the State,
and her people are as peaceable, law-
abiding citizens as can he found in the
limits of any State iu the Union, and
while with those who know these facts,
an act or two of lawlessness does uot’
affect its general good character, yet
with those remote from the scene, the
exaggerated reports that have gone out
are calculated to prejudice them
against the whole county. Mitchell
has one of the boldest and best sheriff's
of any countv in the State, and there
was uo necessity of the inducement of
the reward offered In the proclamation
to stimulate him to do bis duty, but it
will likely interest others whose co
operation with him will accomplish
much in bringing the guilty to puuish-
meut.

There Is one thing very certain, that
a few weeks of dry weather, just at
this juncture, always Insures a very
economical working of the crops. It
enables an ordinary force of bands to
keep well up with the growing crops,

the small acreage of spring oats is
more than regained in the amount of
extra work saved. So, on the whole,
the outlook is full of encouragement,

Welcome Home.
The Albany Guards, the pet and
pride of the Artesian City, returned
Tuesday night, with all the pomp aud
circumstance of victorious soldiery.
They had borne off the second prize
in the military contest at Macon, and
had not disappointed tire expectations
of their sweethearts, wives, mothers
and friends. It is true Albany had
indulged the hope that her gallant
company would prove second best to
none, but must be content, and lav
the flattering unction to its soul, that
the first prize would have been theirs
had one command been distinctly
heard, and that was a result of a con
currence of circumstances, and no one’
fault.
Albany's military acqnitted them
selves not only handsomely upon the
drill ground, but through their gen
tlemanly deportment wou and retain
ed the respect and admiration of
the public. We can forgive them
an error in tactic?, when we have so
much to commend iu all thatconsti-
tues the soldier and the man.
Albany is not accustomed to coming
out second best in such contests, for
under Captain Ed, L. Wight the old
Albany Guards bore oil three first
prizes consecutively, but iu considera
tion of the fact that this company had
been organized hut a lew weeks, the
boys made a most splendid record.

The News and Advertiser repro
duced the charges brought by the At

the State road, that they were running
it down to a condition that was incon
sistent with the safe transaction of
business. This charge brought out
communication to tire Atlanta Consti
tution signed “Lex,” which reflected
upon Mr. Hoke Smith as an attorney,
charging him with a violation of pro
fessional ethics, in that lie used the
columns of the Atlanta Journal, which
he controlled, to excite a popular
prejudice against railroads against
which he had suits for damages pend
ing before the courts,
The correspondence published in
yesterday’s Constitution, entirely ex*
honerates Mr. Hoke Smith, and proves
the charge to have been utterly with
out foundation. In the first place, the
charge against the lessees, and the
statements as to the^condition ot the
state road, were made by the authori
ty of Mr. Josiah Carter, managing ed
itor, and without the knowledge or
consent of Mr. Smith. In the second
place, the very pointed correspondence
between -Mr. Smith and Mr. Evan P.
Howell discovered the fact that Mr.
Howell acted under a misapprehen
sion when he published tire communi
cation, and so soon a3 this was made
to appear he properly withdrew the
publication of the offensive article,
and expressed regrets for the charge
it contained.

Don't Molest the-Birds.
Thursday morniug a little boy was
seen on Broad street with a nest of
young mocking birds. They had been
rudely taken from their mother; they
were so young they were featherless,
and the way in which they opened
their mouths, appealing in their bird
like way for something to eat, demon
strated how cruel it is to take them
from their projecting parent.
The little l»oy who robbed the ne-t
fs a criminal, although he evidently
doesn’t know It.
Some years ago a law was passed by
the General Assembly making it a
criminal offense to kill, molest, cap
ture or In any way disturb irisectiver-
ous birds in the counties of Dougherty
and Worth during the game
son, that is between the first of April
and October.
Tire mocking bird comes within this
class, as its lives principally on worms
and iusects. A more harmless bird
conld not be found.
The wisdom of.tire law Is patent. It
stops the heartless ravages upon a class
of birds that are an assistance to man-
kind, preventing molestation upon
them when their broods are hatching,
and their incursions into the fields
where they destroy the pestiferous in
sect should encourage everybody to
protect them.
It is basely ungrateful to rob the
uests of these birds alter their public
services In destroying so mauy of the
-tormenting pests and insects that in
fest our fields.
There never lived a boy whose
mother did not try to impress upon
him the enormity of the offense of rob
ing' bird nests. If the youth of the
land will not respect the commands ot
their parents they should be made to
fee\ that the law has thrown a shield
around these harmless creatures.
No one likes to see a boy punished
by legal measures and this offense,
arising from ignorance more than any
thing else, the young boys should be
warned and taught that they are break
ing the law. Ignorance of the law ex
cuses no person of any offense, and
should a boy be brought before the
courts for-this offense, his ignorance of
the law could not be set upas a plea.
The mocking bird especially should
be protected. He never commits any
depredations upon fields or crops, but,
acting in the capacity of a public bene
factor, destroys the insects that would
interfere with the growth of young
plants. Besides this, he cheers the
weary soul in the dullness ot the sum
mer with ills sweet, soul-stirring mu
sic. Flying from bough to hough, he
fills the atmosphere'NvIth the merri
ment of his music, and, catching the
inspiration of Nature, wooes divine
melody, that be weaves into Heavenly
Any one who would rob the nests
of such birds is heartless indeed. Let
us urge emphatically and earnestly.
Don’t molest the birds!

of the musical talent in and at omul
Camilla, aud speak most complimen
tary of Mrs. Underwood, Airs. Watson
Twitty and Mrs. Chan Boggs as teach
ers. as all these had music pupils in the
concert at Pearland.
Mr. Underwood made a few minutes
tilk, telling how happy his family
were over the installation ot the new
piauo, and expressing his own partial
ity for tire grand old Raven and Bacon
instrument, which had been given way
for a brighter aud more stylish one.
He said: “I courted my wife over
that good old piauo.” “Well, you’ll
let somebody else court over the new
one, won’t you?” whispered the boys
all about, aud loud euough for the
Clarion man to.h a them. When he
aptly replied: “Do like 1 did and ask
the girls’ mother’s permission first,
aud if she says yes, you cau but try
your luck.”
Mr. Lane's accompaniments were
splendid, aod Mr. Pyke saug even bet
ter and more charmiugly than he did
at the Chantauqua, so some say. The
music from first to last was excellent,
and the Messrs. Lane aud Fyke added
greatly to the local musicians in the
concert. Many thanks to Mr. aud Mrs.
Underwood, their daughters aud oth
ers taking part, including prominently
Messrs Lane and Fyke, for the rare
musical treat.
If you, Messrs. Editors, hear of any
body wanting to bay a first-class piauo,
send, them to your corrcspondeu:
Would like to say more, but cau't.
You understand.
Professor Lang came, taught, saw,
wooed, conquered, and on last Thurs
day, 16th Inst., at 7:30 o’clock p. m.,
was married to Miss Fannie Swindle,
Rev. Mr. Arnold officiating. Friday
morning the happy couple took the
uolth bound train, and at last accounts
were enjoying the hospitalities and
congratulations of friends in the Arte
sian City. May their honeymoou last
long,and their pathwav be strewn with
beautiful and fragrant fiowers through
life’s journey.
On last Suuday morning, the sad
news of the sudden death of Mr. Win.
II. Brimberry, Sr., was announced,
which took place Sunday night. Mr.
Briin&erry was a gooJ, stirring and
active citizen for oue of his age. He
will be much missed. Iu the aferuoon
of Monday, 20th, the remains
were interred in the old ceme
tery, Rev. Mr. _ Carroll officiat
ing. The deceased leaves a widow,
children and friends to mourn his
death, to all of whom the sympathy
and condolence of your coriedpondent
and others are extended.
Mr. Kirbo, formerly living in this
county, but now of Atlanta, where he
recently lost his good wife, is now
visiting his old friends iu tire neigh

Tire colored Sunday Schools held
their annual picnic ou iasf Friday, at
the usual place, Rock 'Lake. The
crowd in attendance was large. Tire
dinner was furnished in the great
est abundadee and the best that the
markets could produce. The day was
highly enjoyed by all present, Capt.
Turtly and others making appropriate
speeches. The music, as a' matter of
course, was good. All things passed
off quietly—peace and good order pre
vailed. We are a peaceable f»oople
hare.
Your correspondent says
ble”—thit is .for the most part.* It is
true we have had one or tw> fights
since our last bitch of news. The
names of the belligerent parties, for
prudential reasons, are withheld. Tire
Mayor’s court took notice of the dis
turbance, but as to the imposition of
fines, your correspondent is not in-
foimed.
South of tills, whe-e the recent hos
tilities prevailed, al! is said to be quiet,
and a much better feeling predomi
nates. It is understood that there bare
been reunions, and the outlook is more
auspicious aud hopeful, morally aod
socially. Your correspondent will be
on the qui vive, “quoad hoc,” and re
port; It any tiling startling or out of
the common order of things trans
pires.
No rain in three weeks in tills por
tion of the commonwealth. It is get
ting somewhat alarmingly dry, so /far
as your correspondent’s interest goes,
directly In the farming Hue—a patch
of late oats and a garden whose vege
tables are in a most withered condi
tion. The oats arc too low to save In
the usual war. A grass blade may be
used with some success.
Tire nights have been cool since we
thought we were going to get a shower
but did not. In one or two sections it
said theie were light showers on last
Sunday, but none here.. It is to be
hoped that Prof. Wiggins will quit bis
evil -prophesies.
Crops are clean and fully ready for
rain; cotton is holding up pretty well,
while corn is suffering some. Oh, for
a -rain—a gentle, wetting, vivifying
rain.

BAKER’S SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
A Full IKeport or tltc La«t Con
vention or the County An
iiociMtion.
Newton, Ga., May 20th, 1S59.
Editors Xeics and Advertiser ;
The following account of Baker
County Association should have ap
peared three weeks ago, and was seut
in, but the copy was lost, ami as we
would like to have it published, we sent
it again.
The meetiug of Baker county S.'S.
Convention came off on May 3rd. The
occasion was quite a pleasant one, and
the meeting and exercises the best
that the association ever had. The
program was well gotten up and was
carried out in every )»anicu:ar.
Tire address of welcome by Mr.
Frauk S. Harrell was a splendid effort,
and did much credit to this young
attorney, who has recently located in
Newton. He is evidently endowed
with fine qualities of mind and heart.
Tire recitation of Miss Hattie Parker,
“The Church aud the World,” though
a very Jong piece, was rendered per
fectly, much to tire delight of all who
heard ft.
The speech of Benton OJom, “Na
tional progress tinder the iufinei.ee of
National Virtue,” was very good and
wa-evidence or the flue abilities ot
this young orator.
‘•Man, his Mission, and his Destiny,”
was the subject of the address of Willie
Parker, who handled his subject in a
way that would have done credit to
o:re of twice Ins age. I think that we
will hear more from Willie in the
future. As bright a mind as he has
will not he hid.
“Have yon heard of Jesus,” was
rendered by five little girls. Misses
Eu»y Livlngsion, Irene O lorn. Mar-
tense Shivers, Daisy and Bessie Conch,
from Mrs. Ferry’s Infant Class. This
part of the exercises formed the center
of attraction for the day. Tire piece
was a long one^and was rendered iu
part sepi-r.itelv—tud part In concert,
it was difficult, and yet they went
through with it without the slightest
uiistakl. The little girls were trained
by Miss Ellen Martin, the very worth}
ieaehcr of the Newton day school,
who never does anything except in a
thorough manner. Mrs. Ferry has
twenty-four of those little lellows in
her Sunday School Class. She is do
ing a good work that will receive
G-hI's bi -sring. aud long alter she ha-*
passed away lire impression that she
is leaving in tliu hearts of those liuie
ones, will bring its legitimate results.
The good seed that she is sowing iu
thi« good soil -will spring up, and
bring good frnir, “some thirty, some
-ixry, ami some au hundred fold.”
The recitation by Buiah Bailey from
Mr. John Kidd'a school, was very
good—lie did herself much credit.
Thespei ch “How totreutyour Boy,”
by White Kidd was most excellent; l
b^oug.it down the house.
Hon. A. L. Uiwes, of Bainbridge,
being present by invitation, made us
one of the b»i*t si>eec!»es of his life.
For profound thought and cloqueti*
language, and logical conclusions I
have,seldom heard au address of the
kind that equalled it.
After tin* address of Mr. Iiawcs the
business of the association was taken
up. There were fewer reports in than
usual, but the few schools that sent in
reports showed them to be iu a healthy
eonditiou. Sever'd sections of the coun
ty have allowed their schools to go
down and it is to lie regretted. Wlier
ever there are children there ought to
be Sunday Schools.
-John O. Ferry was again elected
President of the association. Hon.
Reuben Jones, L. T. Whitlock, A. J.
McMurry and John Kidd, Vice-Presi
dents; R. E McCollum,Reuben Jone>
and R. B. Odom, Executive Commit
tee; G. Tom West, Secretary; S. J. W.
Livingston, Treasurer; Delegates to
State Association at Brunswick, Mr.
Thos. W. Fleming, and Miss Anna
Fleming.
-Dinner was had on the ground. It
was abtin-laut in supply, and very
choice in quality, and was immensely
enjoj-ed by all." Bakkk.
The Verdict V naiiimoui.
W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Iud.,
testifies: “I can recommend Electric
Bitters as tlie very best remedy. Ev
ery bottle sold has given relief in every
case. One man took six bellies aud
was rured of rheumati-on of 10 years’
standing.” Abraham Hare, Drug
gist Bell vllle, Ohio, affirms: “ i he best
selling med’eiue I have ever handled
in my 20 years’ experience, Is Electric
Bitters.’' Thousands of others have
add*! their testimony, so that the ver
dict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the L*ver, Kid
neys and Blood. O ily a half dollar a

The Road Congress.
Dougherty couuty is deeply interest
ed in the practical results of the Road
Cougress, now in session in Atlanta,
though she did fad to send a repre
sentative, and its proceedings will be
closely watched by her progressive and
Intelligent citizens.
Tire Congress is composed of strong
am! sensible representatives of the
people, and its personnel embraces
some of tiie most prominent m u of
the State. This Is a guaranty that the
deliberations will be characterized by
sound seuse with some practical end
in view.
The conviction has been growing
for some tune that there Is a n« ed of
some amen-lation to ihe laws prescrib
ing tlie methods by which the roads-of
Georgia ar- to be worked. This con
viction lias been enforced by a proper
regard for public convenience and a
di-slre to promote the best interests of
tlie State. Ev*y Interest suffers when
tlie highways are in such a condition
as to preclude the possibility of com
fortable au I pleasant passage, an i it
is a terrible sacrifice ot religious,
moral aud social developement that a
country suffers its wagon roads to be
come practically impassable. A goed
road, like a pleasant companion, shor
tens distance, and is an inducement to
draw farmers together in religious
and social gatherings.
Bad roads are a great loss to a conn-
try in tlie wear aud tear on draft ani
mals and vehicles, and the country
towns suffer from trade that is diverted
out of natural ehanuels by reason of
the “bard road to travel,” if they go
where inclination and interest under
other circumstances would lead them.
The Road Congress has before them
a very important work, fraught with
great results to onf State, and it is to
be hoped .that something eminently
practical and useful may be arrived at
as the conclusion of its deliberations.

One thousand dollars will be paid to

of S.S.S. (Swift’s Specofie), one parti
cle of mercury, Iodide of potash, or
any poisonons substance.
In 1873 I contracted blood poison,
which soon developed into its severest
secondary form, with blotches and
ngly sores all over my body, which
totally disabled me for more than a
year. The doctors treated me all the
time without benefit. The disease
steadily growing worse and worse, I
was unable to work for more than a
year; finally I was persuaded to take
Swift’s Specific After taking seven
bottles 1 was sound and well, and hare
not felt a symptom of the disease since:
This was sixteen years ago.
