Augusta Letter.
Augusta, Oa.. Aug. 1887.
liuiroii lA’mx Hkcordrh:
Axigustans itro exceedingly
gratified to loam from Dr. Eu
gene Foster, the able and wide
awake President of the Board of
Health, that, in all probability
the recent freshets will not ef
fect the health of the city. Many
•of our people feared that it would
be otherwise, but Dr. Foster's
statements ns published in the
city press have had a quieting
effect. The Doctor does not ap
prehend any perceptible increase
in malarial diseases, as the mud
•deposited by the water was al
most entirely free of vegetable
matter. Tf the citizens will only
HOC to it that their promises are
kept clean, our people can bo as
easy on the score of health as if
no freshet had recently visited
Augusta. Everybody lias such
unbounded confidenco in Dr. Fos
ter’s ability and integrity that his
utterances in regard to sanitary
affairs are never questioned. Ho
is a man of great brain power
and an exceedingly hard student.
As n physician he ranks among
the ablest in the South and I pre
dict that in the course of a few
yoars his reputation will extend
to every State and Territory in
he Union. I am not exaggera
ting: Dr. Foster’s fame will soon
become National. For several
years past Dr. Foster has been
President of the Board of Health
and during his incumbency of the
office he has done more to)pvomote
the health and consequently the
happiness of our people than any
man in Augusta. He has adopt
ed and put into execution tho
wisest of rules and regulations
for the suppression of contagious
and infectious diseases, which
have resulted in the saving of
many valuable lives. Ho has
had an excellent system of sew
ors constructed which drains our
beautiful city as well as if it were
situated on the top of a moun
tain. In a word, he has zealous
ly and conscientiously labored to
make Augusta as healthy as any
city in the land. Our citizens
owe a great debt of gratitude to
this noble man and able official,
and their wish is that he may
continue his life of usefulness and
blessing to them for years to come.
. Contractor Sanford luis laid
the last brick on Augusta’s now
hotel, and all that the buildingl
now needs to make it ready for
use are the linishing touches of
the plasterer, the carpenter, and
the painter. Mr. Sanford has
pushed forward this work with
most wonderful energy, and will
soon have the satisfaction of
viewing an edifice that will be
lx is monument. It is remarkable
with what ease he directs and
operates his army of workmen.
He is an indefatigable worker
himself, and his movements are
like lightning. Mr. Sanford is
without doubt one of the ablest
and most successful contractors
in the State. Augusta is proud
of lfim as a citizen. An effort is
being made to have tho hotel
• called the ('oakery House, in bon
er of the owner, but it is not defi
nite! v known whether or not the
name will he accepted in prefer
ence to the New Globe or the Im
perial. The two stores under tho
hotel on Broad street have been
already rented—ono by Messrs.
Benson A Co., and the other by
Mr. J. H. Fearry. The first
named firm will keep a first-class
cigar and tobacco store, and any
one who has ever inhaled the
fragrance of their fine Havannr.s
will not forget to call upon these
gentlemen in their now quarters.
Mr. Fearry will fit up one of the
handsomest jewelry establish
ments in the State, and in addi
tion to his old customers, many
people from Georgia and South
Carolina will be drawn thither by
the attractiveness of his now
adore. Mr. Fearry does most ex
cellent work in his line—in fact
his workmanship cannot be sur
passed. His work is considered
to be equal to that of any north
ern house, and many Augustans
prefer having his designs and
workmanship in articlos of jowel-
ry to sending to New York or
elsewhere for the same. During
the past sixteen years he has
made the prize medals for the
Houghton Institute and other
schools, which are in themselves
models of beauty. Mr. Fearry
has a way of not only making
friends,' but of keeping them
when made. .By tho way, ho
speaks very highly of the Union-
Hecorder, and intends renewing
his acquaintance with your paper
at an early day.
The Riohmond County Camp-
Meeting held at Grncewood on
the narrow gaugo road, closed
last Sunday after a week and a
half of successful Christian labor.
The Methodist preachers and sev
eral from adjacent counties
preached day and night, nnd were
instrumental in bringing many
souls to Christ. On Sunday tho
trains oarried out vast crowds
from Augusta, who speak highly
of the hospitable manner in
which they were received, and of
the order maintained by the au
thorities of tho camp grounds.
Several liquor dealers were up
before Judge Dunbar last Tues
day for violating the Sunday or
dinance. Mr. John Sunken was
fined £100 for selling beer on the
Lord’s Day, and tho cases of the
others were continued.
By the time this letter reaches
you I shall be enjoying a brief
interval of rest in the old Palmet
to State. I shall gather what
items of interest I can and shall
give an especial account of tho
condition of the farmers in tho
overflowed districts.

AN ADS&EBS TO THE PEOPLE
GOV. GORDON UROK8 THAT GKORGIA
HR PROPERLY KKPRKSKNTKD AT
T11K CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OK
THK CONSTITUTION AT PHTLADKL-
PHIA.
Exkcutivk Ofkick, t
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 15,1887.)
To the People of Georgia: The cen
tennial celebration of the adoption of
the constitution will be held at Phila
delphia on Sept. 15, 10 and 17.
The fifteenth day is set apart for a
processional industrial display, illus
trating the progress of the country
in the last one hundred years.
The sixteenth will be devoted to a
grand military parade by the troops
of the different States and Territo
ries, accompanied by their respective
Governors. with their staffs, and by
detachments from the army and navy
of the United States.
The special services of commemora
tion will occur on the I7th, at which
the President of the United States
will preside, and an oration will be
delivered by Justice Miller, of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
This brief outline will indicate the
principal features of the celebration.
One hundred years ago, on Feb.
10, 1787, at Augusta, the General
Assembly of Georgia appointed Com
missioners to the Constitutional Con
vention called to meet at Philadel
phia. Under the articles of confed
eration the general government was
wanting in dignity, energy, credit ami
that great essential of all govern
ments tlie power to enforce its own
decrees. The confederation was dis
cordant; bankruptcy was almost uni-
sal; popular discontent was in
with tile view to excite their interest
and to ask their co-operation.
When the constitution was adopt
ed Ueorgia was a wilderness. Her
population fringed the coast and the
Savannah river, and were in perpetu
ul danger from powerful bands
hostile Indians. Her wealth consist
ed in rude tenements, in a vast and
fertile lint uncultivated territory, and
in the high resolve to conquer all ob
staeles mid make successful free gov
eminent on this continent. Her
churches. Iter school houses, her
means of communication nnd all Iter
appliances of civilization combined,
dlu not equal thoso enjoyed at this
day by a single neighborhood in a
siugle oounty. Now she is a great
populous commonwealth, rioh in all
things that constitute a State and
feeling each day the impulse of a
greater ami nobler development.
Notwithstanding the momentous
social, political and economic prob
lems with which site has been con
fronted in the Instquarter of that con
tury, she may safely challenge com
parison with any o/ the great States
of tlie Union In tlie average financial
independence of iter citizens, of all
avocations and of botlx colors, hi the
small per centage of pauperism and of
crime, in tlie registered number of
pupils i white anil colored', of Iter pub
lie schools in tit" proportion to popu
lation, in the number and seating ca
pacity of her churches, in the pence
and good order of her society, in
the impartiality and purity of her
courts, and in the loyalty of her sons
to the cardinal principles of the con
stitution and to tlie union of these
States under tlie constitution.
I respectfully urge upon the peo
ple to aid in having this State fairly
represented at Philadelphia, so far as
this may be practicable, through her
military organizations and by furnish
ing such evidences as we may be able
to present, of her marvelous recuper
ation and material progress.
If tho names of proper representa
tives are furnished me, I will appoint
full delegations from the different
counties anil associations.
J. B. Gordon, Governor.
Tlie contract for building tho mar
ket house at Macon lias been award
ed to Hendrix A Willingham, one of
tlie most prominent and reliable firms
of contractors and builders in that
city.
Our readers have doubtless often
noticed that Hood’s Sar.-apariUa is
well spoken of in tlie newspapers.
Tlie press is quick to recognize merit,
and does not hesitate to give praise
where it is due. The following is from
tlie Baptist Weekly, a leading relig
ious paper:
“Advertising may bring an article
prominently before the public, but no
advertising can long help it if it has
not real merit. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
is well advertised; but the best proof
of its value is that so many persons
use it on the recommendations of
friends who have proved its peculiar
virtues.” [4 lui
ivtanv people refuse to tako Ood
Liver Oil on account of its unpleasant
taste. This difficulty lias been over
coma io Buott’s Emulsion of <\>d
l/ivor Oil with Hypophosphites. it

most valuable remedy known for the
treatment of < 'onsiimptiou, Berofitla
and Bronchitis, General Debility.

ic Coughs and Colde, lias caused phy
sicians in all parts of the world to use
it. Physicians report our little pa
tients take it with pleasure. Try
Scott's Emulsion, ami lie convinced.
Dr. Thomas Hall, Holly Creek, Ga.,
says: “I am using Scott’s Emulsion
in the case of a little child one year
old, wastiiig away, and it is improv
ing fast. Before nothing would stay
in its stomach, but tne Emulsion
agrees with it perfectly.” [4 1m
Greensboro Journal: A prominent
physician of our city informs us that
there are numerous eases of fever in
tlie region of the Oconee river. In
one family three cases developed
within a few hours, and he fears that
many more will shortly show tip in
tlie saute locality. Tlie cause of the
i-ickneBS is the high water. Drift
wood and vegetable matter of various
kinds were left by the receding river
high up on its banks, and this mat
ter. by tile action of the sun. has
commenced to decay. The atmos
phere is heavy with the odor nnd ev
ery breeze is impregnated with it.
The decaying germs induce tlie fever.
We trust, however, that those who
are already ill will rapidly recover,
and that the spread of tlie disease
will not be as extensive as now feared.

LIST OF PKIZKS
Republican Government was most j one-third 1st November and one-third
discouraging. At this critical junct- ,35th November, and cash will be paid
tire, Virginia inaugurated the move- for the same, one-third 5th November,
ment for a stronger government aiula i one-third 5th December, and one-tllird
more perfect union, by
e pe . _ _
ers which experience had demon-
pow-
strated could not be exercised by tlie
States.
The convention met in Philadelphia
in May, 1787. Its presiding officer
was George Washington. Many of
its members were distinguished for
public services, for practical knowl
edge, and in the science of govern
ment, as well as for disinterested pa
triotism. No assemblage was ever
better fitted to carry out the great)
i purposes of its convocation. No
j great purpose was ever so successfully
] accomplished by a deliberative body.
| The constitution which it adopted
has been for 100 years the charter of
American lioerties. It established n
I system of federative union callable of
! illimitable expansion, with perfect
safety us long as the federal govern
ment and tlie States kept within
their appropriate spheres.
This centennial will lie tho grand
jubilee of the people of these States.
Occurring in Philadelphia, which is so
full of revolutionary memories and
associations, the occasion will be a fit
one for increasing attachment to the
Union, forgettiug all sectional differ
ences in recalling tlie teachings and
the labors of tlie fathers of tlie repub
lic. It is eminently proper that Geor
gia should be represented at this
great gathering of tlie States. No
State in this Union can more appro
priately, or with more patriotic zeal
join in the jubilee than Georgia. She
bore her full share in the formation of
the federal constitution. When the
call for a convention was made, she
promptly responded. When the con
stitution was submitted she promptly
ratified it. She was one of the three
States, I believe, in which not a sin
gle vote was recorded against it.
Whilst the great States of New York,
Massachusetts and Virginia were dis
cussing its provisions, debating con
ditional acceptances, and urging
amendments, Georgia accepted the
constitution as it came from the
hands of its framers—and in the hun
dred yours which has followed she
’has never violated ouejof its provis
ions nor abandoned one of its princi
ples. The Executive of the Htato lias
no fund which he can appropriate to
secure a proper representation at
Philadelphia. Nor lias the Legisla
ture the authority to make an appro
priation for such a purpose. I have
therefore deemed it proper to call tin*
attention of tlie people to the subject
