UNION-RECORDER. 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. Houghton. 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 being us palatable as milk, mid the most valuable remedy known for the treatment of < 'onsiimptiou, Berofitla and Bronchitis, General Debility. Wasting Diseases of Children. Chrmi 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.

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 5th January. 1888.
