You can buy the best Piano made for
only $10 per month, until paid tor, and no
Interest charged. Think of buying a su^
perb instrument » for $10 per month. So
gradually and easily will the purchase be
made that no inconvenience will be felt,
and in a short time you will possess a
piece of property which will add to the
joy of your household; for
Musical Homes areHapy Homes.
AGAIN!
We sell Organs at $3.50 per month—no
interest. Pianos rented, and where par
ties conclude to purchase, the rent paid
will be considered part payment on the
instrument. This places Pianos and Or
gans within reach of almost any one.
Now why be without a nice Piano or
Organ?
ONLY THINK OF IT!
Pianos sold on payment of $10.00 monthly.

Don’t only think, but take advantage
of the opportunity, and possess a superb

We Lead In Low Prices
AND EASY TEEMS!
Other houses pretend to follow, but they
don’t—let them figure and prove it.
In conclusion we would respectfully say
that iubuying from us, you run no risk:
Because, if you desire, the instrument
will he sent you on trial. You can then
see if it is as represented, before a dollar
is paid. Is this not fair? Who has the ad
vantage upon these conditions? You or
the Georgia Music House?
Because, we are where you can reach us,
and should we misrepresent an instru
ment you could do us an irreparable dam
age by giving us a bad advertisement. A
reputation for square and honorable deal
ing, for many years in the South is too
valuable to us, not to receive our careful
protection, for herein is the key of our
success.
Because, a friend made is a customer
gained. We are determined to make noth
ing but friends, so any representation made
by us you can put down as a Solid Fact,
and govern yourself accordingly,
Because, we will pay freight both ways
if the instrument is not as represented,
and if satisfactory we pay freight to your
home—anywhere in the South. Has any
other house made a more liberal offer than
this?

'DIED FOR THEIR STATS.
An Interesting Communication From
a Georgia Gentleman.
Savannah, Ga., June 13,1886.
Editor Lowell Sun:
I read in your papier an article from
the pen of Benj. J. Williams, Esq.,
headed as above. I never have read
a more fair, clear, able and truthful
article from any writer and that is
saying a good deal for one who in the
past, was for near twenty years an
editor of a paper. Mr. Williams has
but given utterance to jirinciples
in
in
factories, trade, commerce and every
branch of industry that will give to
the South a commercial independence
of the North and the world. As lar
ger grew' southern plantations with
slave labor, larger and more prosper
ous grew New* England manufactur
ing interests. Free negroes now
mean, identical interests, competition
and southern development, and death
to reciprocal interests. See the point,
Mr. Editor?
One word more. The hate or dis
like displayed by the northern people
to Mr. Davis is simply absurd. He
was but one man, no greater than
hundreds w r e had who w ould have re
joiced to have been president. Geor
gia had three' men who wanted the
place, and would have gladly taken
advance of the education and I Mr. Davis did. not seek or desire
thought of his state or the people of |
his section, but \iews that will in the | bead and front of offending? What
next twenty years or in time be en- . absurdity! Mr. Williams is just in his
dorsed as sound, correct and thorough- I views. He represented a great princi
tt i , f, pie, and we see the principle in him
ly constitutional. He but grasps the ,™i,i ,i 0 on;roV;.„ if Wf™. <
great constitutional questions invol
ved and as understood, believed and
acted upon by the people of the Con
federate states.
We of the South have no theories
as regards the sovereign rights of-states ; the principles for which the
as so clearly put, illustrated and ar- * ^ le ® olu * 1 fought and died.
moment should surrender iii speech or
action, word or deed one jot or tittle
of the principles of state rights. That
is why the people of the South honor
Mr. Davis, and when dead, we will
erect a monument to him to illustrate
sons
gued by Mr. Williams; with us, it is a
fixed principle in the constitution and
admits of no debate or question. We
hold the Federal government is but
the creature of the>tates; held it in
the days of Washington and Jeffer
son and hold it now. The South has sur
rendered no principle of state sove
reignty, but freely admits that if a
weaker section attempts secession
the stronger section may and have at
tempted coercion. The war only
settled the fact that 20 million of peo
ple with every resource could crush
out a w'eaker section with only about
10 million, and that a mustered force
of 2,000,000 men in a four year’s war
could wear out 600,000 men. Such
Mr. Editor is but a fair statement,
look at it iu whatsoever light you
please.
Had it not been for the navy on
your side and our 3,000 miles of sea
coast and rivers to defend, there
would have been a Confederate gover-
ment. Mr. Williams is candid and
bold enough, and honest enough to
admit the wonderful advantages of
the North over the South in materials
of war and naval resources.
We of the South did not fight for
slavery or the extension thereof.
That was not the question or princi
ple involved. We of the south seced
ed because we thought our rights and
interests were in danger, when the
people of the North by their actions
declared and endorsed this sentiment—
not the principle for there was no prin
ciple involved in asentiment, until the
sentiment took on aggressive action,—
“that there was a higher law than the
constitution.” The election of Mr.
Lincoln as a sectional candidate
threatened the integrity of the Fed
eral Constitution in the opinion ofthe
South.
We seceded; we did not debate tlie
right of secession, for no one denied or
disputed it, so to speak. Had we of the
South been divided on that question
there would have been no war. We
were a unit on that point, but divided j
as to the policy or necessity
of seceding because Mr. Lincoln
was elected. Your writer was decidedly i
opposed to secession, because lie was I
willing to give Mr. Linclon a trial and :
see if he would disregard the rights j
guaranteed the South under the con- j
sti’tution. Georgia voted against j
secession, though the convention |
throught the influence of Gov. J. E.
Brown, RObt. Toombs, Howell Cobb.
Tom Cobb, E. A, Nisbet and a num
ber of other prominent secessionists,
carried the convention. The state
spoke, and we as a people believing
in the sovereignty of our state, with
drew all opposition to the action of
•aid convention. We of the South
had been thoroughly educated in the
teachings of the great and fearless
Gov. Geo. M. Troup, who in 1825, in
his controversy with the Federal
governmeut gave exprefsion to the
following great constitutional princi
ples:
“The states are sovereign, or they
are not, We prove the affirmative by
the Declaration of Independence, and
the articles of confederation.”
Again—“There is no sovereignty in
what is called the United States. The
United States is nothing but a gover-
ment or a confederacy, the style of
wlrcliis—“The United States,” and
government according to our doc-,
trine is not soveriegn, but is agent or
servant of the sovereign. The sov
ereign must be found in the states—
that is in the people ofthe states.”
Again—“The states, in virtue of
their sovereignty, when evils are no
longer supportable, must judge the
evil and the remedy.” •
Again—“In reference to a doubtful
power, forbear to exercise it, because
it is doubtful.”
Such, Mr. Editor, were the princi
ples as announced by Gov. Troup in
1825, and we of the South recognize
thosegreatprinciples today. The South
was neither whipped nor conquer
ed in the late war between the states;
she was simply crushed by over two
millions of men against a half mil
lion.
Had the South thought that seces
sion meant war, as did. our revolution
ary fathers, think you, we would not
have been armed to the very teeth?
that we would not have made every
arrangement for invasion? As it was,
we never thought of war as a conse
quence. Gen. Toombs-was loud in his
declarations that he would “drink all
the blood shed by any war.”. We so
thought, and when the people of the
Northern states, made war on the Con
federate States, we of the South were
ready to fight and die for our states.
Mr. Williams is but an advanced
thinker, that is all. He is far ahead
of the Federal ideas that still stick
close and fast to New England, apd
he sees in the South, principles that
will and must be respected in the near
future even by the Northern people.
Just as the northern people see today,
that the freedom of the negro means,
development of the South in manu-
We would sooner think of tearing
down our Confederate monuments
which dot the whole south, than be
false to our principles or convictions.

P. JOHNSON,

He said lately in presence of a re

last winter, owing to this fact, I was
attacked with a very severe case of
inflammatory rheumatism.
“What I suffered
disease can better b
described.
“I did everything I could to cure
myself. I tried every means in my
power and every remedy left me as
bad or worse than l was before. I
could not raise my hand to my head,
and it looked as if, even if I were rid
of the disease, its effects would
CRIPPLE ME FOR LIFE.
- “About four weeks ago I was per
suaded to try Hunnieutt’s Rheumatic
Cure, and my relief was almost in
stantaneous. I am now on my fourth
bottle, and I am as sound a man as
there is in Georgia.
“Have I any objection to the pub
lication of these facts? Not the least
in the world, and I only hope they
will meet the eye of every person suf
fering as I was, and that they will be
lieve, try, and be cured; and I want
to say right here that I would not, for
one thousand dollars, be in the condi
tion I was, when I began using the
remedy which made me whole again
—Hunnicutt’s.Rheumatic Cure.
“I also have been a great sufferer
from indigestion and stomach troubles

A BORN FISHERMAN.
Success in fishing—star fishing, at
least—demands either patience or ex
treme laziness. The negro is highly
accomplished in both. In them lie
lires and moves and has his being,
llie negro is more patient even than
the mule. It is the patience of igno-
rance, or the ignorance of patience.
Witness his long years of silence un
der slavery. Had he not been so. the
land would have been red with blood
long years before historic ‘61. But
the negro then was usually happy and
contented. All his physical wants
were supplied. He had no cares, and
his mentality was so Vague and unde
fined that it did not bother him much.
Laziness is the mother of patience]
and the god-mother of the negro]
Give Sambo a pole and line, a pocket
ful of worms or indisposed beef, a sun
ny nook along the river, or on the
wharf, and for the time being he will
thank the good Lord for nothing else.
His favorite fishing place in Florida is
from the wharves that line the St.
John’s river.
The wharf is Sambo's throne, and
from this coign of vantage he hurls
his well-hooked line into the water.
The river at Jacksonville is a univer
sal cesspool. Here are thrown all the
garbage and offal of the market, resi
duum of restaurant and saloon, slop
of boarding house, and here is the
favorite grazing place of the catfish.
Talk not of the pompano, the trour,
or the bass. They are all unknown
qualities to Sambo. His affections are
centred on the cat. The sight oi one
of them makes liis mouth open to its
fullest extent, and his longing red
tongue reach nearly around to the
back of his ears. It; calls up tooth
some dishes to his exotic mind. Cat
fish stew! Cut the fish in small pieces,
plenty of water, a pinch of salt, some
sweet potatoes from your neighbor's
“bank”—they are best gathered at
midnight—a pone of corn bread, and
what more does the colored epicurean
require? Baked catfish! Take a bull
cat, the larger the better, dress him
carefully, stuff his ample bosom with
onions and corn meal mixed with syr
up, and flank it with a side dish of
blue collards. When Sambo and his
family sit down to this feast the door
is locked and there is no admittance
until the postprandial pfpe.
The recipients daily of a varied and'
bountiful, if not dainty supply of food
these catfish grow to an immense size,
and attain a weight of from ten to fif
ty "pounds. The average along the
wharves is about fifteen pounds. Af
ter Sambo has caught one of these
large dandies of the deep, he is not
particular as to whether he catches
another one that day or not. Suffi
cient unto the day is the evil thereof,
also the good—to him. The day’s
quota is provided. The sun is warm
and inviting. He feels its genial rays
penetrating kll the nerves and tissues
of his being. The monotonous lap of
the waves against the piers invites to
slumber. So, tying the line to his big
toe, which looks like the head of a
loggerhead turtle, he falls over on his
back and is soon fast asleep. Gradu
ally his slumber becomes more pro
found. His mouth opens and remains
in that position. It is invaded by an
