THURSDAY. JUNE 8, 1897.
The Times editor and Indy will
be with the press association on
their trip to Nashville next month.
The convict question is still en¬
grossing Governor Atkinson’s
attention. We trust he will solve
the problem.
The Gould heirs are trying to
evade payment of $570,000 inher¬
itance tax, and the ghost of old
Jay looks on approvingly.
The Augusta postofliee is still
hanging fire. Since Col, Buck’s
departure for Japan, Lyons’
chances of securing it are waning
away.
The Georgia State Teachers As¬
sociation will hold its annual
meeting this year at Warm
Springs, commencing June 20,
and lasting for one week.
It is reported that a distinct
shock of earthquake was felt all
over the eastern part of the United
States Monday. We don’t have
such things at Statesboro, though.
The new cigarette law in Maine
'vent into effect Saturday. It
provides that no cigarettes of any
kind, color or description shall be
sold to persons under twenty-one
years of age.
The Governor has refused to in¬
terfere with the sentence of Henry
White, who.was implicated in the
murder of a policeman in Colum¬
bus last year, and the chances
are that the young man will hang
tomorrow.
An effort is beiug made by his
friends to have millionaire Chap¬
man, who was sent to jail for
thirty days for contempt of court,
pardoned; but (he president will
not contribute to the farce by
granting the pardon.
Afteb four years of active life,
most of which has been spent in
the courts, the Tillman dispensary
law has been knocked out. Judge
Simonton has decided that liquors
can be imported into the state
and sold, which, in effect kills the
dispensary law.
Florida’s railroad commission¬
ers are, R. II. M. Davidson, a
lawyer, H. E. Day, a railroad man,
and Milton Bryan, a farmer. The
commission was created for the
purpose of regulating the railroads
in general, aud it remains to be
seen what benefit the truckers will
receive from it,
Tillman says with him it is
hands off in the fight for Senator
Earle’s successor in the United
States Senate. May be the old
blatherskite is beginning to “smell
a rat.” He ought to have seen
from the way the people sat down
on his man, John Gary Evans, that
he no longer carries the state in
his vest pocket.
Among the laws passed by the
Florida legislature is one relating
to fish. It provides that no mul¬
let can be sold or slipped from
June 15 to August 15, and from
November 15 to January 15. As
that state furnishes most of the
mullet for this section of the
country, the new law will slightly
effect the fish eaters during the
fall months. There are no mullet
shipped here except in the fall and
winter.
Bill Arp has just written a
letter giving particular fits to the
g. o. p. (otherwise known a3 the
republican party) for its efforts
to force the whites of the south to
equalize with the negroes. Arp
says that no true gentleman will
attempt to give the negroes control
of any office above the white peo¬
ple of the south, iu which he
states a plain truth. There are
some gentlemen in the republican
party, he says, but the party
stands for corruption, and -ho
hates the party generally for it.
A SHADOW OF TRUTH.
Nothing can be more contempti¬
ble than the whimpering wail of the
nB1>ir iu g politician that “the laws
of the land are all against the
poor man, in favor of the rich.”
This is dispicable demagoguery,
but he can almost prove his asser
tion to olio who is predisposed to
agree with him hy simply
to the administration rtf laws in
some localities, For instance, in
the city of Washington a million¬
aire was recently sentenced to
prison for thirty days for con¬
tempt of court. At the jail he
has been fitted up with a suite of
rooms where he lias a servant to
wait on him, bring his meals from
the tinest hotel of the city to feast
on with his friends, whose com¬
pany he is allowed constantly to
enjoy. In his case the adminis¬
tration of the law is a farce, and
what is intended to be a punish¬
ment is, by the assistance of the
officers of the law, turned into a
season of revelry in which the
millionaire is the host.
In the same jail is a poor young
fellow who is detained as a witness
against a woman charged with re¬
ceiving stolen goods. He is guilty
of nothing, nor is he a prisoner in
the sense that millionaire Chap¬
man should be held. While Chap¬
man was receiving his hotel din¬
ner at one o’clock Friday and dis¬
cussing with his friends, the other
man’s brothers called to see him
but were denied. They brought
their brother some food, but the
officials refused to allow him to
have it. There is where there ap¬
pears to be a shadow of truth in
the declaration that “the laws are
in favor of the rich, against the
poor man.” But there is not a
shadow of truth in the statement,
as much as it may appear other¬
wise. The fault is with those who
administer the law. They are al¬
lowed to use some little discretion,
and it is invariably exercised in
favor of the millionaire. The law
is intended to be impartial, though
it is not administerd impartially.
Chapman’s treatment is an outra¬
geous perversion of justice. In
dulgencies are granted him because
of his wealth, while he is as guilty
as the commonest blackleg in the
prisou and should be so punished.
The young man Ball who is held
as a witness is entitled to some
consideration, but he is no mil¬
lionaire and the warden’s “discre¬
tion” forbids that he should re¬
ceive the courtesies which are
granted to Chapman,
The law is not to blame for this
farce, but the officers are for al¬
lowing it and the people are for
countenancing it.
Larry Gantt, the father of the
South Carolina dispensary, is
engaged just now in saying some
pretty rough things about Ben
Tillman, and intimates that the
Senator made a big thing out, of
the whiskey rebates when he was
governor. Perhaps it’s n case of
“feathering” and Larry did not
get enough “down.”
An Appeal For Aid.
To Our Brethren And Friends :
The Methodists of this place—a
small band—have decided to erect
to the great God of us all a suit¬
able church edifice in which to
worship Him. We already have
some money subscribed; we have
done all we could ourselves, and
still we lack funds.
We make this appeal to you,
dear friends, and ask that you aid
us in this grandgeause.
The town of Meldrim is located
at the junction of the Central and
the Georgia <fc Alabama railroads,
17 miles from Savannah, and is
rapidly growing. We feel sure
that a suitable building here
would do a great deal of good for
Southern Methodism. Will you
not help in this great work? God
grant that you may.
If you do not feel able to do
much, every little will help aud
we will gladly receive any amount
you may be able to give.
We have sent- out chaiu letters
to this end, aud if you have receiv¬
ed one please answer it at once, as
we need your help.
Send the amount you can in ex¬
press order, post office money 6a.,) or¬
der, (payable iu Savannah,
draft, check or cash, and we will
acknowledge receipt of same.
Direct all remittances to Mrs.
H. C. Morgan, treasurer, or W. A.
Mallory, pastor in charge, Mel¬
drim, Ga.
This is a plan by which you can
glorify God with your mite. We
send out this appeal for aid be¬
cause we are in need. Please help
promptly. Yours for Christ,
W. A. Mallory,
Pastor iu charge.
W. F. Carter, Steward.

MUSlEK ROLL
Of theTombs’ Guards, the First Com¬
pany from Bulloch C> unty.
On the 10th day of January, 18G1. the
Georgia Convent, >n at
adopted the Oi.ioo"ice of Secession by n
vote of 208 to 89 mid a signed gun was
fired, and th - -dare and stripes were
lowered from the state capitol and the
white colonial flog of Georgia fluttered
the winds.
The dream of a great Southern Empire
wan about to mat« ruihzo _ and the nation
wuh shaking from centre to circumfer
cnoe, and all saw that a baptism of Are
ami blood was necessary to set up the
new republic, and from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande the loyal sous of Dixit
rushed to the defense of the newborn
Confederacy. The shot that “rang
around the world” was fired on April 17,
and the brave volunteersfrom every part
of the South responded to the call for
, 1
T In Bulloch county by the first of June,
a company was orgai.ized consisting of
ninety men, and below is the list as re
corded in the Clerk’s office, by Samuel
Ilarvillc, Clerk.
The company named themselves the
Toombs’ Guards, and became a part of
the Ninth Georgia Regiment, and were
attached to Lougstreet's corps. The
company went first to Atlanta, and from
there to the theatre of war in Virginia.
They participated in some of the hardest
fought battles of the war, at Williams¬
burg, second Manases 9 , Fredericksburg.
Gettysburg, Knoxville, Fort Harrison,
The Wilderness, Sbarpsburg aud nume¬
rous skirmishes.
In addition to the Toombs Guards from
Bulloch, there were the following com¬
panies: Bulloch Troop, Cone’s Company.
Tillman’s Company, Williams’ Company
and one company of Militia. In all
about (500 men out of a white male pop¬
ulation of about 750 entered the service.
All the companies did brave and heroic
service, and many laid down their lives
on the blood-stained fields of battle, and
out of the COO probably not over 110
now live.
The record of the Toombs Guards,
being the only one now accessible, is
given. Out of the 90 that went in only
19 are alive today. About 2Q were killed
in battle and about that number died
from disease, and the remainder, except
the 19 now living, have joined the silent
majority since the war.
When Lee surrendered his sword to
Grant at Appomattox, ouly 13 of the
Toombs Guards answered “here.” They
were as follows: Thomas Knight, cap¬
tain; Wm. A. Ilagin, first lieutenant;
Sol Akins, second lieutenant; Ira Dick
erson, oiderly sergeant; C. S. Martin,
General AVoods, Wm, Gould, John I.
Martin, W. A. Proctor, John Bell, David
Bell, Remcr Scarboro and James Brown.
The following is a list of the company
who went in: Carltuu Belt, captain:
Mathew Talbot, first lieutenant;
Knight, second lieutenant; John B.
nelly, third lieutenant: Allen J. Gibson,
first sergeant; Patrick II, Hendrix
second sergeant; Zachariah II.

way.
There wore very few slave holders in
Bulloch, yet in proportion to population
hardly any other county furnished more
troops to the Lost Cause, and iu the
Secession Convention her delegates, Mr.
S. L. Moore and Mr. Samuel Harville,
voted in favor of the Ordinance.
The dream of the great Empire of the
South was never realized, but her sol¬
diers won imperishable renown ior their
valor and courage, and excited the ad¬
miration of the world.

The New York papers are quarreling '
about whether the administration at
Washington is performing or will per¬
form its duty in tbe task of restoring \
prosperity. The fact is acknowledged j
that tbe republicans pledged themselves I
to restore prosperity. They solemnly ]
assured the people—Mr. McKinley from I
his republican front porch, speakers aud the aud whole editors—that gang of j j
the indosement of the republican inevitably eaudi- j
dates by tbe people would and j
infallibly restore prosperity. It was I
preached from the pulpits, it was shouted
in the streets, it was printed tbe factories in the news and -1 '
papers, it was told in
indorse workshops. the “If republican you want candidates. prosperity Ii j j
you want higher prices, higher wages, better j j
more opportunities to work, and j
times, support the republican months party.” j
And now, less than three after
McKinley took his seat, the* |C*

® DEAR HUSBAND:
I have just bought all the Dry Goods and
Shoes we will need this Spring. I bought
from G. W. Williams, Statesboro, and he is
certainly selling much cheaper than any
other house iu this country. I got a beauti¬
ful Easter Dress for only $2, and for $1.50 I
bought a better pair of Shoes that I usually
get for $2. Only 25 cts. bought me 12 yds.
of Torchon T ace two inches wide. I can’t
understand how he sells goods so cheap. He
has the very best Bleached Homespun and
gives 12 yds. for $1.
He showed me his entire line of Spring
Dress Goods, and there is not an ugly piece
in the lot. He has all the very latest weaves
in Silks and Wash Goods. Beds Spreads, he
has a nice one for 90 cts., and the finest Mar¬
seilles Spreads for $3.25, and I paid $4.00 for
Spreads like them when we were in Savannah.
It’s a pleasure to trade there. Lovingly,
YOUR WIFE.
