Lumpkin, October 28,1875.
Jlr. Editorlt has been my pleasant
prlvlloge to spend the past week In this
beautiful little town. Lumpkin Is located
on the summit of a hill almost perfectly
level—the land undulatlug Just enough to
carry ofT all tho water of heavy ralnfalls
ln tho most fertile section of Stewart coun
ty. It Is well laid oil, and hag many hand
some residences, with the prettiest and
best cared for front yards of any small
town 1 havo visited. Tho inhabitants num
ber about eight hundred, engaged In va
rious branches of business, many being
planters. Business has decreased consid
erably In tho past four or live years, leav
ing several of tho store-houses vacant,
but parties occupying the others seem to
be doing very well.
The court, which Is now In session, has
drawn quite a number of people, giving
tho town a much more attractive appear
ance than usual.
Judge Kiddoo to-day finished those
cases of which Judge Crawford had boon
of counsel and loft for home. After din
ner Judgo Crawford recelvod the general
presentments of the Grand Jury, a copy
of which I hand you with this. Judge
Crawford will resume tho regular course
of business Monday, and tho criminal
docket will probably bo reached Tuesday,
and tho court adjourn aboutfFrlday night.
Tho Columbus bar has been represented
this week by Hon. 11. J. Moses, John Pen
body, D. H. Burts, J. M. Russell, YV. A.
Little and Roland Russell, Esqs.
Tho members of the bar in this soctlon
were agreeably surprised at the correct
ness and rnpidltv with which Mr. G. Y.
Tigner, tho court reporter, takes the evi
dence as It falls from the lips of witnesses,
which reduces tho time of tho court em
ployed on general business more than
one half.
On our way hero wo stopped at the
plantation of our friend and former fol
low townsman. John Cheney, who, It will
be remembered by many of our readers,
sold his Interest In the drug store of J. L.
Cheney A Son, last winter to go farming
After going over his plantation and soo-
Ing the result of his first year’s labors. I
can but feel that[as a farmer.JohnTs a suc
cess. His crib Is full of corn, more than
enough to run the same force another
year; his barn with oats, and in his gin
house ton bales of cotton; now eating out
his pea fields are as pretty a lot of hogs
as one would wish to see—most of them
small because young, though he tells mo
ho will kill eight or ten anyway, and is
confident that another year ho will bo
able to salt down enough bacon to ration
his hands. His mules are sleek and fat
and show care. Wo commond John as an
example to the all cotton farmers.
During my stay in Lumpkin I have
found the people of Stewart county peas
ant and hospitable, and extremely partial
to tho Times, which they ovldencod by
enrolling their nnmes on Its subscription
list. To Bob Harrison|of tho Independent,
andj Mr. H. G. Reagan, I am specially
indebted for courtesies.
TRIBUTE OF PHYSICIAN* OF CO
LUMBIA,
On llie Iliatli of Or. John A. I rqnlinrl.
At a meeting of the physicians of Colum
bus, Dr. Bacon was called to the chair,
and Dr. W. W. Flewollen requested to act
as secretary. Whereupon Dr. E. F. CJol
20y arose and offered the following pre
amble and resolution, which was adopted.
Whereas, it has pleased tho wisdom,
justicoond mercy of our Heavenly
Father to summon from amidst us, our
esteemed professional brother and follow
citizen, Dr, John A. Erquhart. Therefore,
be it Resolved,
That while we recognize the constantly
pervading justioo of all tho Master's do
eroes, we humbly desire to record the sad
ness of our thoughts, and bear witness to
tho virtues, as well as place upon record a
tribute of respoct to the memory of our
departed friend.
Resolved, Tiiat in this painful event we
are callod upon to part with a man up
right in action, temperate in council, gen
tle in deportment, and exhibiting all tho
Christian attributes in an earnestness of
manner challenging tho admiration of his
associates and ranking Idm amongst
tlioso who "loved Ida fellow-men.''
Resolved, That as cxpresslvo of our es
teem for tho deceased, and our sympathy
for his family and friends, a copy of theso
resolutions bo furnished to the family and
published by the press.
After the adoption of tho above, the
meeting adjourned.

Dr. W. YV. Flewellen, Secretary.
Chinese Nquulor In Nan Francisco.
Individually, John Chinaman la a clean
human; collectively, ho Is a beast. Ah
Btue, tho cook, keeps the coppers and
pans clean and bright, washes his hands
In going from dish to dish, is orderly,
fresh In appearance, and ever arrayed in
spotless white and blue. Follow him
home, and you will find this cleanly unit
become [one and of a herd of animals liv
ing in a state of squalor and filth, at which
even a Digger Indian would shudder.
Fifteen Chinamen will live, sleep and cook
In a hovel or cellar twelve feet square,
having only a door as a means of admit
ting light and air. Clouds of rancid smoke
issuo from tho common chimney, window,
and door, through which John and hts
fellows may dimly bo seen erawliug, cook
ing, smoking and sleeping, for when Coo
Leo has nothing to do ho generally crawls
into his hole to sleep or smoke.
The larger companies' boarding houses
are no better. Every story is refloored,
and made into two, and often three, the
standard height of a room being a trifle
over or under live feot. Clean at first, the
building soon becomes grimy, and then
black, and then dirt-encrusted from gar
ret to roof. Once occupied by Chinese, a
building must always remain a pest hole
or bo torn down. Under tho sidewalks,
under staircases, in cramped bunks, and
and on rickety platforms John lives, and
It Is reported thrives. It Is only to the
adventurous and strong-stomached that
a fair picture of Chineselife is presented
in all its foulness.
When a lire burns out a hole, and lays
open a section In this vile quarter, then it
is that groups of the curious gather round
and try to believe that they live within a
block of these rookeries and slums where
there Is no difference between tho blackness
of charred beams and that of the sleeping
holes. Of course there are cleanly excep
tions—the restaurants, and some of the
rich merchants' stores, for Instance; but
there is no danger of darkening the pic
ture overmuch; and Chinatown, lying In
the heart of San Francisco, is a miracle of
human unclcanlincss, and a wonder of flit h-
San Franciscans have much cause to be
thankful for tho long season of purging
trade winds.--TAomos Vivian, in Scribner
for October.
or. John Augustus Krquhart.
was born In Augusta,Ga. Oct. 1804, and died
In Columbus, Ga., Oct. 29th 1876, having
completed his 72d year.
He moved to this city In 1833, and organ
ized tho Columbus Guards; was elected
first Captain of this Oompnay and led
them in the battles of the Creek
war of 1836.
Formerly he was wealthy, with an ex
tensive practice In hla profession. Always
a polished gentleman, polite, cultivated,
dlgnlfiod, without austerity, affable, with
out familiarity.
He joined the Methodist Church in 1837.
For many years he was an official mem
ber of Bt. Luko Church. At the time of his
death he was chairman of tho Board of
Stewards, and chairman of the Board of
Trustees.
He died in the triumphs of Christian
faith, expressing to his pastor and to his
friends a satisfactory assurance of his ac
ceptance with God, and a firm reliance
upon tho mercy and the merits of his
Bavluor. He leaves the legacy of a good
name, and the example of a noble life to
Illustrate the principles that he professed.
Tho funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. R. J. Corley, at St. Luko Church, la
the presence of an Immense concourse
that thronged the church and the galle
ries.
A delegation of tho Board of Stewards
of St. Luke Church, consisting of the fol
lowing gentlemen, acted as pall-bearers:
J. A. Bradford, A. M. Brannon, J. A. Fra
zer, W. It. Wood, G. J. Peacock, J. S. Jones,
8. B. Hatcher, and F. A. Jopson.
His remains wore escorted by tho Co
lumbus Guards, under command of Capt,
W. 8. Shepherd, and by the Masonic Fra
ternity of the city. Hon. F. M. Brooks,
W. M. of Mount Harmon Lodge, read the
Masonic service at tho grave.
United mates Soldiers for Girard.
Yesterday morning a detachment of
United States troops arrived m Girard
from Huntsville, Alabama. The detach
ment numbers ten men, under oommand
of Lieut. Goo. Bacon. They reached here
yesterday morning via the Mobile A Gi
rard Railroad, and went into camp on tho
church hill, overlooking Girard. They
belong to the 16th United States Infantry.
We had the pleasure of meeting Lieut.
Bacon and found him an agreeable gentle
man. He informed us that the only or
ders ho had received were from tho Gulf
Department at New Orleans, ordering
him to remain at Girard until after tho
Presidential election. Ho was recently
located at HuntsvlUle, Ala., previously in
Kentucky. Further than to remain here
until after the eloetlon, he has no other
orders. Ho says the detachment was sent
to Girard at the request of the United
States Marshal.
We take Lieut. Bacon and his squad to be
soldiers, and not oppressive, and like truo
soldiers, they will obey orders, and go no
furthor. We hope their visit among us
will be ploasant. We know their services
as conservatory of the peace will not bo
required, for wo are a law abiding people,
but a unit for Tllden.
That Terrible Cigar.
The Scientific American lias a somewhat
exhaustive article touching wliat it terms
“a tightly rolled packet having brittle
fragments of dry loaves within and a
smooth, silky leaf for Its outer wrapper.”
A pretty picture of what haa been and
will be the inspiration of poets, aud most
men of brains and education who require
a stlmulent and prefer it to whiskey.
After giving a most formidable list of
the terrible gases evolved from the loaf,
the smoko and the ashes of a cigar, tho
editor adds:
“And yet, despite all that science can
say tho habit is Increasing. Two centu
ries ago the Turks regarded smoking as
a religious offense, and paraded a smoker
through the streets at Constantinople
with his pipe stuck through ills noso as a
warning to others. YVho can disconnect
the Turk now from tho ideas of chibouque
or narflilety, or fragrant Lataika? Look
at tho best cigar wrappers tho world can
produce, raised on tobacco fields In the
heart of New England, whore the puritan
fathers once visited tho direst of blue
law vengeance on th wretch who pro
faned his Maker’s handiwork by “making
a chimney of his nostrils.” Tho value of
our tobacco crop last yoar reached near
ly $30,000,000. YVe consumo annually
some 75,000 hogsheads of tho leaf; we Im
ported about 83,000 bales of cigars, Ac.,
from Cuba in 1875.”

Philadelphia, Oct. 9, 1876.
Hon. Joseph R. Hawley, President of the
United States Centennial Commission :
Dear Sib: We beg to call your attention
to the publication of what is represented
to be the reports of the Judges of Awards.
We herewith enclose the report or a cer
tain sowing machine company, which was
published In the Dubuque (Iowa) Herald,
of October 4,1876, In which it Is also stated
that they received two medals, and “that
a claim of any other company to so dis
tinguished an honor Is only an attempt to
hoodwink the public.’’ As representing
the largest single sewing machine interest
In the world, we respectfully ask if this
announcement on the part of one of our
competitors is official.
Yours, very truly,
The Singer Manufacturing Cos.
United States Centennial Commis

To the Singer Manufacturing Compuny—
Gentlomen: I have your communication

that you have two medals, one for each of

upon which the commission bases awards,
are passing rapidly through the press.
None have yet been given out by our con
sent or approval to exhibitors.
Respectfully yours,
J. R. Hawley,
President Centennial Commission.
As at every World’s Fair where the
Singer machines have been exhibited, so
here at our own Centennial they earry off
the highest prizes—an honor fairly earn
ed, and sustained by the verdict of the
whole civilized world, as statistics of sales
show. oct29 It.

New York, October 25. —Information
from Sweden announces the discovery of
an open way to the Arctic sea. Prof.
Vcrdeeskiald sailed on an exploring ex
pedition from Ilammersfest, Sweden, the
beginning of August, and demonstrated
the correctness of the theory regarding an
open way to the Arctic sea. He counter
ed no obstacles, and considers the way
quite open from Europe to China, via the
northern passage and valley of the Yiem
six liver, by which steam communication
is obtained across Siberia and almost to
the frontiers of China, Immense unmeas
ured tracts of valuable land are found, all
of which is accessible for imanidiate cul
tivation. Scientific observations are con
stantly carried <on. One of the fanciful
phenomena of the passage was water
surprisingly. warm.
—On the 19th an enthusiastic meeting of
tho Tilden and Hendricks Club was held
at Providence, Stewart county. The meet
ing was addressed by Hon. J. M. DuPree,
Elector for the Third Congressional Dis

THE MORNING NEWS,
SIVAXXAH, GA.
& , If*, IV'-
THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876, WHICH
includes National, State and county elections,
and which will undoubtedly be the most active
and hotly contested of any since the memorable
canvass of 1860, is now fairly opened. The Na
tional Democratic Party will this year make a
hold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those
principles which are vital to thw prosperity of
the Republic and essential to the well-being of
the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect neYv
State governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the first time since the war
the people of that Radi cal-ridden State will elect
a Democratic Btate Government. In these cam
paigns the people of the Bouth are deeply inter
ested; and everv intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country and his section at heart,
should acquaint himself with every detail of the
great work of redemption and reform that is now
going on. _ . ,
Te this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah HorninSiVswi,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro
nounced opinions and fearless in their expres
sion ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as
the best d*ily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida aflairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary of events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furniahing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence *rom all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tel
egrams, and by means of special correspondence;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1876.
