Addr* .s Stinson & Co., I’ortland, Maine, SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY/ GEORGIA, AUGUST 17, 1888. RANDOM REMARKS All the current news in this week's News. So far as we can learn the crop prospects of Chattooga are good. The season is a little late, and growing crops as a consequence are 11 ather smaller than usual at this i time of year, but the recent rains that have fallen will hasten the growth and with continued good I seasons through this month there i will bo good crops harvested. ! The season of religious revivals is Imre now and Hie ministers arc in i the lield gleaning and the harvest, ■as it will ever be, is bounteous. ■Chattooga, has a<i earnest and hard ! working set of preachers and their ; work lias been attended with good ■ results. Tiiose who can cannot do better than lend them a helping hand in the great work they are i engaged in. The reunion of the 6th Georgia i regimeat at Sardis church last' I week was an enjoyable affair. Fifty- j i three survivors were on hand and while some of them came a long i distance they expressed themselves as amply paid for their trouble. No speeches were made, all contenting themselves with talking over old times and in attacks upon the am ple commissary department, which was stored with an abundance of good things for the inner man. The white Republicans at Knox ville and Chattanooga played off a j trick upon the colored people in I | the recent election that they are l i not likely soon to forget. In mak-) j ing up the ticket a colored man ' was placed on it in each city, but < j when the votes were counted it was found that all the white Republi cans were elected while the colored men were badly beaten. Colored people were placed on the ticket to j secure the colored vote for the white Republicans, but the latter failed to vote for the colored candi dates. From time to time there have ap peared in the Rome Tribune sup gestions that the building of u railroad from Raccoon Jlills to Stevenson, Ala., would be a paying investment. And there is not much doubt but that it would. It would shorten the distunce from all points northwest to all points southwest fully 40 miles, and would open up a country where timber, minerals and coal are in paying quantities. The distance is about 27 miles and no line of that length oilers a bet ter chance as a paying investment or would develop a richer mineral section. Chattooga, apparently, has less interest in politics than any county that could be found. When the congressional committee met in Dalton to lix upon a place for hold ing a convention Chattooga did not send a representative and that too when she could have secured the convention by a little clfort. Last week she did not send delegates to Atlanta to help nominate a govern or and other ofllcers. It remains to be seen whetl er she sends delegates to the congressional convention at Cedartown or not. Clements will be nominated, but then Chattooga ought to have a linger in the pic in naming a Democratic congressman, for it will bo remembered that at the time when mens souls were be ing tried she gave Clements the largest majority of any county in the district. The eulogy delivered over Court land Parker, the free thinker, by Ingersoll, has attracted a great deal of attention. The address was eloquent, but offered no hope, no consolation to the bereaved wife. The infidel dwelt on the virtues of the departed and the glorious lib i erty of thinking and doing what j one pleases, but of the future he i said nothing that can be construed I into a pleasant thought. His ad dress was melancholy and I hopeless and it can easily be told | it is the productions of one who I sees nothing but clouds ami d.irk- I' II ness ahead. It was intensely hu ! [ man, intensely sweet, but intensely ‘ hopeless; the wail of the loving ’ over the lost. No wonder Mrs. ■ Parker, after Ingersoll finished, had ’ a Christian minister to say a few j! words from which she no donut dc -7 rived more consolation than she ; < ould g an from ;,!>e infid< i’s o ' I .".ent i"'dress, NYE VISITS THE NAVY. Vessels Which Are Conven iently Located In Full View of the Ocean. Bill Nyc in New York Wotld.] It has become such a general practice to speak disrespectfully of the United States navy that a few days ago I decided to visit the Brooklyn navy yard for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, how much cause there might be for this light and airy manner of treating the navy and, if necessary, to take immediate steps toward purifying the system. I found that the matter had been grossly misrepresented and that our navy, so far as I was able to discov er, is self-sustaining. It has been thoroughly refitted and refurnished throughout, and is as pleasant a navy as any one would sec in a days journey. I had the pleasure of boarding the man of-'.var Richmond under a I Hag of truce and the Atlantic under a suspension of the rules. I re mained some time on board, each of these war ships, and any man who speaks lightly of the United States naw in my presence hereafter will receive a Stinging rebuke. The Brooklyn navy yard was in angerated by the purchase of forty acres of ground in 1801. It has a pleasant water-front, which is at all times dotted here and there with i new war vessels undergoing repairs. I Since the original purchase others : have been made and the land side of the yard enclosed by means of a ' large brick wall, so that in case ' there should be a local disturbance lin Brooklyn the rioters could not break through and bite the navy. In this way a man on board the I Atlanta, while at anchor in Brook lyn, is just as safe as he would be at home. In order to enter and explore the naw vard it is necessary that one should have a pas-. This is a safe guard, wi-ely adopted by the com mandant, in order to keep out strangers who might get in under the pretext of wishing to view the yard and afterwards attack one of the new vessels. On the day I visited the navy yard just ahead of me a plain but digniiied person in citizens dress passed through the gate. He had the bearing of an officer, J thought, and kept his eye on some object about nine and one-fourth miles ahead as he walked past the guard. He was told to halt, but, of course, he did not do so. He was above it. Then the guard overhauled him, and even felt in his pockets, for his pass, as I supposed. Concealed on his person the, guard found four pint bottles filled with the essence of crime. They poured the poor man’s rum on the grass and then fired him out, accompanied by a re ' bukc which will makehim more de • liberate about sitting down for a ' | week or two. | Tiie feeling against arduous spirit I I in the United States navy is cer ! j tainly on the increase, and the day is not far distant when alchohol in a free state will only be used in the arts, sciences, music, literature and the drama. The Richmond is a large but buoyant vessel, painted black. It has :i front stairway hanging over the balcony, and the latch-string to the frost door was hanging cheerily out as ..e drew alongside. During an cng.i.gement, however, on the ap proach oi the enemy the front stairs are hauled up and the latch string is pulled in. while the commanding officer makes the statement, “April Fool” through a speaking-trumpet to the chargincd and infuriated foe. i The Richmond is a veteran of 1 the lat war, a war which no "one ! ever regretted more than I did ; not i Iso much because of the bloodshed j and desolation it caused at the time, | , but on account of the rude remarks ' since in de to those who did not ' i believe in the war, and whose feel lings have been repeatedly hurt by! I reference to it since the war closed. The ; ims of the Richmond are I muzzle loaders, i. c., the load or ' charge of amunition is put into the I other or outer end of the gun in stead of the inner extremity or base of the gun, as is the case with the . , :.r< .-ch-’ ‘iid i;. The breech-l<m.dei’ ;i .< gr<. . impro enieut < ■ 1' ■ old style gun, making warfare a cons- j tant source of delirious joy now,: whereas in former times in case of I a naval combat during a severe i storm, the man who went outside | the ship to load the gun, while it was raining,’frequently i pneumonia. Modern suns are made with breeches, which may be easily re moved during a fight and replaced when visitors come on board. A sort of grim humor pervades the above remark. The Richmond is about to sail away to ('hina. I do not know why j she is going to China but presume j she docs not care to be here during the amenities, antipathies and as persions of a Presidential campaign. A man-of-war would rather make sacrifices generally than to get into trouble. I must here say I had rather be captured by our naval officers than by any other naval officers I have! overseen. The older ofllcers were calm and self posessed during my . visit on board both the Richmond and the Atlanta, and the young fel lows are as handsome as a steel en graving. While gazing on them as they proudly trod the quarter deck or any other deck that needed it, 1 was proud of my sex, and I could not help thinking that had I been an unprotected but beautiful girl hostile to the United States. I could have picked out five or six young i men there to either of whom I would I be glad to talk over the details of i an armistice. I could not help en-; joying fully my hospitable treat-; ment by the officers above referred to after having been only a little while before rudely repulsed and most cruelly snubbed by a haughty voting cotton-stock broker in a New York store. When will people ever learn that the way to have fun with inc is to treat me for the time being as an equal? It was wash day on board ship, ami 1 could not help noticing how the tyrant man asserts himself when he becomes sole boss of the house hold. The rule onboard a man-of war is that the first man who on wash day shall suggest a “pick-up dinner” shall be loaded into the the double barrel howitzer and shot into the bosom of Venus. On the clothes line 1 noticed very few frills. The ingerie on board a war vessel is severe in outline and almost harsh in detail. Here the salt breezes search in vain for the singularly sawed-off and fluently trimmed toga of our home life. Here all is changed. From the basement to the top of the light ning rod, from pit to dome, as I was about to say, a belligerent ship on wash day is not gayly cajiari soned. The Atlanta is a fair representa tive of the modern war vessel and would be the most effective craft in the world if she could use her guns. She has all the modern im , provements, hot and cold water, electric lights, handy to depot and a good view of the ocean, but when she shoots off her guns they pull out her circles, abrade her deck, concuss her rotunda, contuse the main brace and injure people who have always been friendly to the government. Her guns are now being removed and new circles put in, so that in the future she will be enable to give less pain to her friends and squirt more gloom into the ranks of the enemy. She is at present as useful for purposes of defense as a revolver in the bottom of a lock-up bureau drawer, the key of which is in the pocket of yout wife’s dress in a dark closet, where- I in also the burglar is, for the nonce concealed. Gov. Seay and the balance of the I State ticket, together with both i branches of the legislature, was I elected last Tuesday week in Al- I abama by the Democrats by about j 75, 000 majority. !

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.— i From the Financier, of New J ork] ■ The advancement made by the | | South during the past few years and ■ her rapidly increasing prosperity, even when told in sober truth, plain | and unvarnished, causes a pretty ! heavy strain on the credulity of the average business man who has no opportunity to investigate for him self. Trade and newspapers, through indulging in exaggeration and dis torted statements in this regard, i have dohe that section of the coun ) try real harm. It is easy to make a I rnan believe that which his oxperi | once and observation teaches him is possible, but none of us could have j been made to believe twenty years ago that the South could have reached her present condition in so short a period. No wonder then that good men, who do not know the facts, take it for granted that i the most moderate statement of the | actual and present condition and I progress of the South are made by “lips puckered to lie for a consider ation,” as Henry Watterson remark ed of the high protective tariff men. Reliable statistics abundantly prove that the South is going through a course of healthy and i permanent development. It has all that is needed for self-support, both in agriculture anil minerals and a vast over-plus for the rest of the world. Rice, cotton and largely to bacco, together with naval stores, in this country belong exclusively !to the southern latitude and soil. ! Its timbers furnish the very best ! land and marine structural mate rials. There is not an acre of tim ber land in the South which is not constantly increasing in value, and not an acre of virgin forest which will not pay a handsome interest on the investment at present prices. Capital could go blind-fold any where and not go amiss. The same is true as to farm lands. The greater portion of the soil be i ing underlaid with clay or stone may wear or wash, but in every case can be restored and fertility perpetuated. The farmers south of the Ohio river, however, have yet one lesson to learn, and that is, to purchase their domestic supplies and send their unused surplus of all kinds to those who want them eith er at home or abroad. No natural source of wealth is possessed by the South in greater abundance, or is being more rapid ly developed than her minerals. Iron and coal being prime necessi ties, have attracted more attention, and secured more investments than perhaps anything else. The coal fields and iron belts of the South are now pretty well known. Their extent and richness are unequalled elsewhere. They are in process of development, and mainly by south ern enterprise and southern capital. I All this is true of the South, and it L- also true that the remarkable progress of all these industries has been the result of the individual en erixy and enterprise of that region. Capital from Europe ami the north ern S.ates has aided to a limited extent in the progressive develop ment, but the larger part has been accomplished bv tin* labor ami en terprise of the southern people. Mrs. O'Leary’s Famous Cow kicked over a lamp, and Chicago, the bustling young metropolis of the West, was laid in ruins. This is a striking illustration of the old saying that “great results have I small beginnings.’ The ncglccti d cold, the hacking cough of today, may, a few’ months hence, develop „ into that direst of destroyers, Con sumption. Be warned in time. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, if taken in the first stages of this dread disease, is a certain cure. It is also a sovereign remedy for asth ma, bronchitis, sore throat, chronic nasal catarrh, and all diseases of the respifitory organs. The cleansing, antiseptic and healing qualities of Dr. Sage’s Ca . tarrh Remedy are unequaled. At Montgomery, Ala., last week a blind horse belonging to M.
