FfiIDAY MORNING, MAY 21,1869
ROMANCE OF TRAVEL.
When Thurlow Weed was interrogated
as to the safety of a live Yankee traveling
through the South, he retorted, with the
calm sarcasm of a diplomatist, that “ any
person having respect for the feelings of
others would naturally rejoice in suffi
cient self-respect to secure for him a pleas
ant sojourn in Dixie.” It seems that a
vivacious and progressive couple of Toledo,
Ohio, fascinated by Thurlow’s pen pic
tures, visited Aiken, S. 0., in the month of
March. They appeared so charmed with
the climate, the situation and matters gen
erally, that pater familias is authentically
reported to have essayed a speculation in
real estate with the apparent intention of
passing liis winters lit our neighboring
hamlet. After visiting several places with
the view of investing, he decided upon one
then under an offer to a New York gentle
man. Calling, as we are informed, upon the
agent of the property, and learning that the
Gothamite had agreed to take it, our Toledo
blade with native cuteness offered the agent
SSOO to let him have it instead of the New
Yorker. As the offer had an undoubted
flavor of foul play, and as the agent hap
pened to be a man of strict integrity, To
ledo’s bid was properly resented, and To
ledo himself was caustically ' informed
that gentlemen in this region were not yet
so reconstructed as to adopt the standard
of honor which seemed to obtain where he
happened .to/ be born. From that time
forth, Toledo saw everything at Aiken
with jaundiced eyes. So keen was his dis
gust and so overwhelming his chagrin,
that his wrath, failing to be contained in
his body, begfm forthwith to slobber it
self upon paper. His strong-minded spouse,
infected with the choler of her lord, and
liaving the knack of epistolary composition,
commenced, it appears, a course of abuse
through the columns of the Toledo Com
mercial, under the fictitious names of “ Mau
mee ” and “ Joseph Jones." It may be a
source of amusement to our readers to get
a glimpse of her panorama. Here is Ma
dam Toledo’s sketch of Aiken :
“ The village of Aiken is pleasantly lo
cated on an elevated plateau (500 feet above
the level of the sea and on the ridge which
separates the head waters of the Edisto
from the tributaries of the Savannah. The
population is 1,500. It has no commerce
or manufactures, no newspapers, no schools
worthy of the name, one countrilied hotel
and several churches. The soil is exceed
ingly sterile, so that even white beans grow
so small that one is obliged to use magni
fying glasses to see them. (Perhaps they
plant small beans.) In many respects the
climate resembles that of Florida, being a
little less debilitating. It, is claimed, in a
real estate advertising pamphlet, that ‘ Aiken
and its vicinity is a great fruit growing
country,’ but if blossoms are aji indication
of fruit, the quantity to be gathered when
it has reached maturity will correspond
with the size of the beans. The same pam
phlet informs one that peaches ean be sold
front sls to S2O per bushel, and thus SSOO
can be realized per acre, which story was
not corroborated by an honest African, who
informed us ‘ that masser dun loss heaps by
de peaches las year, case he didn’t make
brandy , but ship dem to New York, and de
hot sun dun spile dem all.’
“ The same romantic pamphlet enlarges
upon its advantages as a great grape grow
ing country. Wondrous stories are told
of the. productiveness qnd flavor jti the
Hcuppoirriog variety. Were one to Believe'
one-tenth of what has been written of this
grape, the country about Aiken would pro
duce wine enough to turn all the chivalry,
and the Yankees besides, into blooming
disciples of Bacchus. But for the comfort
of the Good Templars, we venture to say
that the Scuppernog grape will follow the
example of the white bean and the fruit
blossom. Cotton can also be grown. By
investing $2 in guano one may get in re
turn $1 worth of cotton, counting the.ioZw
for interest.”
With wonderful dexterity she is supposed
to shift her female gear and don the attire of
masculinity. Parties who know recognize
in the following extract froma letter signed
Joseph Jones no less a tilter than Madame
Toledo. If Forney can, as the humor
suits him, simulate a “Union washerwoman
with ten children,” equally acrobatic and
versatile is Madame Toledo in assuming
the breeches and writing to an imaginary
husband:
Aiken, S. C., March 31,1869.
My Dear Wife : It is 8, p. m., and I
imagine you seated in our comfortable sit
ting room, enjoying the cheering warmth of
our new morning glory, while the dear
children are studying their lessons for the
morrow. Alas ! that blessings should not
be appreciated till they have taken their
flight. How nice it must be to have snow
to shovel, ice water to drink and to breathe
the invigorating air of Lake Ontario. Aiken
has not realized my expectations, and I have
not thought it advisable to purchase a home
here , notwithstanding the beautiful letter
of the Hon. Thurlow Weed, which induced
me to forego the pleasure of your and our
dear childrens’ sbeiety. O, if I were once
more with you, all in our pleasant home, I
would be content to shovel snow. But you
will like to know what sort of a place Aiken
is. Well, dear, the air is very dry, the soil
dry and sandy. They raise from three
pecks to ten bushels of corn per acre, and
plant one seed in a hill, and we couldn’t
raise as much grass on the whole plateau
of Aiken as on our ten acre meadow. ’The
cows are nearly as small as goats, and their
teams are one small ox and one small mule
driven tandem. Water is so scarce that
they send their clothes miles away, to the
tributaries of the Edisto, to be washed. Pul
monary invalids don’t cough as much as at
the North, because they get so weak
they can't. The juvenile blacks are im
proving faster than the whites , for the
former have schools and the latter none
worthy the name. South Carolina is greatly
impoverished by the war, and though most
of the men have received good educations
at the North or in Europe, the reverses of
fortune have taught them that they cannot
depend upon education without labor.—
Therefore the energetic young men are
emigrating North and West, with the in
tention of learning remunerative trades and
seeking for themselves wives, who like you,
are not too inert or proud to work, who
are agitating the “ woman suffrage ques
tion,” and can help a man along in the
world. The men of South Carolina are not
as aristocratic as I expected. They have
been North , have been whipped by the
Yankeep, are poor and now would like to
study “ Yankee Tactics” and become
“smart." But oh, the women! Forgive
me, dear Sally, if I have ever found fault
with you, for I never knew what a treasure
of perfection you were till I traveled in
South Caroliua. They do nothing but dress
up in the silks, satins, laces, velvets and
furbelows which they had before the
“ wa-ah,” and play “ Lily of the Valley.”
They curse the “Star Spangled Banner,’’
and the Yankees in general; enlarge upon
the valueof their plantations and the small
wreck of the vast fortune which yet re
mains to them. Yet they admire the indivi
dual Yankee, admit he has noble qualities,
Is brave and energetic, and insinuate that
by amalgamating the Yankee with the
patrician race of Carolinians the happiest
results would be the consequence.
* * * * * *
P. S.—l leave for Augusts to-morrow.—
When I have recovered my strength I will
write again. The question to be discussed
at the next meeting of the African Debat
ing Club is, “ Am it better to die of disease
or debility.” Yours, etc., J. J.
She comes to Augusta and really has
good nature enough to describe our city as
a beautiful one. “Beautiful Augusta"
only this and nothing more. But the very
idea of beauty in Augusta causes Caroliua
to grow more hideous to her, and, neglecting
the many pleasaut things she might haye
written about us, she gripes Thurlow
Weed by the throat and fairly uses him as
a cudgel to chastise Aiken. Thus:
“The Hon. Thurlow Weed was as much
disappointed at Aiken as I. He wrote those
lovely letters the first few days he spent
there. Had he waited as long as I did be
fore writing, he would not have made such
mistakes and misled so many invalids. The
poor old gentleman has had his little re
maining strength exhausted by answering
letters from' his numerous friends, inquir
ing about the fertility of the soil, the effect
of the dry air upon renewed respiratory or
gans, the effect of the dry market upon dys
peptic stomachs, and as to the veracity of
the location of the ‘ fountain of youth ’ at
Aiken. He answered several of these let
ters, but finding that strength and youth
wouldn’t return, even while breathing the
hot, dry air of Aiken, if his mind was so
overtaxed by so much letter writing, he
engaged the services of a private secretary.
That functionary also became overtaxed ;
the dry air gave him no strength, and he
was much perplexed as the inquiring wri
ters desired Mr. Weed to purchase or rent
homes for them in advance of their arrivals.
Therefore, I have been deputed to say to
the invalids in our section of country that
it is safer and move satisfactory for them to
judge for themselves, and caution them not
to rely too implicitly upon the opinions of
superanuated editors, who have spent their
prime of life in writing editorials within
the four walls of their sanctums, and have
no practical knowledge of ‘dry air, dry
soil, dry climate and dry markets.’ It is
natural that when these aged gentlemen are
relieved from the tread-mill routine of daily
journalism, they dream they have bathed in
the ‘ fountain of youth,’ and awake to the
reality that youth never returns.”
* * r * * * *
“ The last time Cavalier Ponce de Leon
was seen at Aiken, he was going to the
railroad depot, attended by his daughter,
whose pretty little poodle dog seemed weak
from the effect of the dry air and tough
meats, while a sable vallet held a mam
moth white cotton umbrella over the ven
erable cranium of the unrejuvenated gentle
man.”
*****
“ Madame Rumor announces that Mr.
Weed has gone to Washington, while Mrs.
Grundy contradicts the report and says he
has gone to Europe, but both uuite in say
ing, that wherever he goes, he will be cau
tious how he shall again advertise a ‘ dry
climate, dry air, dry soil and dry markets.’
Cardinal Woolsey Seward had not arrived
when I left, but was daily expected. Mrs.
Kate Chase Sprague has rented the sum
mer residence of Col. Chivalry for the sea
son (so says a newspaper report.) It seems
strange that that lady should leave Wash
ington for South Carolina; but perhaps
her residence at the capital has prepared
her to endure anything , even the dry at
mosphere and sunny climate of Aiken.”
We have no space to follow her through
Dalton, whose “ beauties of nature ” are
poor compensations for being one of the
“ dirtiest o£ Dixie’s dirty towns." We can
catch only a whisk of her skirt as she stops
at Marietta and actually finds an oasis
in a hotel kept by live Yankees. She ad
vises pulmonary patriots to visit Marietta,
if they visit the South at all. Bilious in
valids ditto.. She is an example in person
how Aiken aggravates the bile and Mariet
ta appeases it. Men of science in this re
gion declare that Aiken and Augusta are
peculiarly adapted to the cure of consump
tives, and that the upper countiesjbf Caro
lina and Georgia are fatal to them. But
what’s a man of science to a fenrtale gradu
ate of the progessive common schools of
the West?
Madame Toledo tapers off by this spite
ful view of Southern women:
“ The Southern women pass the greater
portion of their time upon solitary planta
tions, with an occasional visit to the near
.est' spine pleasure resort.
Growing up among a Senii-barous people,
associating intimately with them, they have
imbibed their maimers, language and cus
toms. These are glossed over with a super
ficial education, received from dependent
governesses and obsequious teachers, who,
if they desired to educate more thoroughly
and conscientiously, would not retain their
pupils. Rich, self-conscious and self-im
portant, suffering no contradiction, and
moving in a narrow orbit, they could not
be otherwise than proud, prejudiced and
intolerant.”
With a parting flourish in praise of the
incomparable city of Toledo, she subsides.
Her farewell injunction to all who sympa
thize with her is to stay at home. Possibly
those of our people who may not be pleased
with her ordinary tartness of advice recip
rocate this concluding counsel, in so much
as it affects those of our Northern breth
ren who are determined to come South,
not to be' cured of consumption, but rather
to grow chronic in natural bile.
APPOINTMENTS.
The telegraph brings us a batch of ap
pointments by President Grant, the most
notable of which is that of Bryant, in
place of Blodgett, as Postmaster of this
city. Blodgett’s triumph seems to have
been ephemeral; even Creswell has con
sented to drop him.
If Augusta is thus peculiarly treated,
what must Macon think of Parson Tur
ner?
We trust the day is not far distant when
it will be impossible for a scalawag or
carpet-bagger to hold public office in the
South. Pending that time, however, we
prefer the latter to tlie former.
The Pacific Railroad.—A dispatch
irom Omaha to the New York Herald, says:
“ The arrest or detention of Vice-Presi
dent Durant by his workingmen on the
Union Pacific. Railroad excites no surprise
here, where nearly all the operators of that
overgrown monopoly are known. All ac
counts I can gather agree that the com
pany have treated their workingmen in the
most shameful manner. Greater numbers
than were needed were induced to go out
to the end of the track for work. When
arrived they had a choice to either work
for tlie company for inadequate compensa
tion or starve. The fare back to Omaha
was about forty dollars; going back by the
cars was, therefore, out of the question.
To attempt to walk back was certain death
by Indians. The poor creatures were,
therefore, completely at the mercy of the
railroad officials.
“The condition of these workingmen has
been deplorable for some months past. I
will give one example to show how they
are treated. Two workingmen, entirely
without means, got on the cars at the end
of the track, with the intention of return
ing to Omaha if possible. The conductor,
finding they had no money, put them olf at
the first watering place. They got on again,
and the conductor permitted them to ride
to a point on the open prairie, half way
between two stations, when, calling a
brakeman to his assistance, he seized his
victims and thrust them from the train
while going at full speed—some twenty or
twenty-five miles an hour. What became
of the poor creatures I never learned.—
Whether they were killed by being thrown
from the train or by the Indians I have not
heard. My informant saw them thrust
from the train while going at full speed, as
here stated.”
Diamonds in Alabama. —The treasures
of Alabama seem exhaustless, and rich be
yond comparison. Coal, iron, gold and
silver, have long ago been found, and we
have accustomed ourself to thinking of the
coming of that day, when our proud old
State will move lorward to the head of the
list. To-day, we are apprised of a discovery
well worthy of being mentioned for the In
formation of the public. That accomplish
ed Geologist, Dr. E. H.* Rogers, has dis»
covered, within a short distance from our
city, a veritable “ black diamond,” which
he has on exhibition at his office. This, we
believe, is the second of its kind ever dis
covered in America.— Tuskaloosa Observer.
Our New York Correspondence.
New York, May 17.
The excitemeut in Wall street increases.
Gold advanced to-day to 142, and there is
every prospect that we are to have a long
period of speculative, excitement in the
precious # security. Money
is becoming a drug in the market. There
is usually a .period of great ease at this
season, but Mr. Boutwell’a policy is lead
ing to a positive surfeit. Gold is naturally
the first object to which speculation turns.
It is almost entirely a speculative article
under the irredeemable currency, and yet
it has a solid, substantial value which no
6ne can dispute. The failure of Mr. Bout
well to avail himself of such opportunities
as are open to him for the contraction of
the currency, is regarded as evidence that
he is opposed to. that policy. Now, with
the present volume of currency, and the
probability that Congress will authorize
another hundred millions of bank currency
next Winter, there are great numbers of
people who believe that gold is the cheap
est article in the market. It is certainly
true that all the great staples'—cotton,
breadstuffs, provisions, groceries, naval
stores, hides and leather, petroleum, metals
—have scarcely advanced a fraction in cur
rency prices since gold advanced from 133
to 142. In fact, some of these staples have
declined. This would certainly seem to
support the idea that gold Is cheap. An
other circumstance favors the speculation
in gold. The operations for a rise in rail
way shares have about come to a stand,
and yet the “ bears ” dare not attack them.
Some of the leading railway shares have
been freely “watered” in the past two
years, but they are so firmly held that any
material decline in them may not be safely
reckoned upon. Therefore, the whole
“ street ” turns to gold for an operation.
The active speculation in real estate
which has been going on since the termina
tion of the late war, appears to have cul
minated, and prices have evidently taken a
downward turn. The most marked ex
ample is seen in high priced houses, which
have fallen nearly one-third. At one time,
a speculator had but to build a house that
would cost thirty thousand dollars or a
house costing five thousand dollars, to re
alize fifty or sixty thousand dollars for
both. This fine business is at an‘ end.
Building has almost ceased in the suburbs.
The mechanics employed upon buildings
have been very careful not to go on their
customary “ strikes ” this Spring. They
have been content to keep at work at the
best wages they could get. The depression,
however, is most apparent in “ improved ”
property—which is more directly affected
by the deoliimin materials, and reduced
wages of mechanics. Vacant lots still
bring extreme prices, aud some affect to
believe that file ability to build cheaper
will lead to a still further advance in them.
The “ anniversaries ” held in this city
the past week have been respectably at
tended, and the “ side shows ” have afford
ed the usual fund of amusement. But the
fact is they are becoming like a tale twice
told, and Receive much less attention than
in former years. The legitimate objects
thus brought, to the attention of the public,
seem to have all been well supported; the
treasuries of the various missionaries, tract,
bible, and prayer book societies were in a
healthy condition, notwithstanding the hard
times, but the day of humbuggery is pass
ing away. A few enthusiasts are all that
they can gather.
The week just gone has been marked by
a special gathering together of the strong
minded of the fairer—we dare not say the
weaker sex. No weak specimens at least
have the female champions shown them
selves in these their late meetings. Their
voices have been as loud, they, themselves,
as pugilistic as their deadly enemies, the
men. Indeed the straight hair, lank vis
ages, angular figures, and loud voices of
these “female men,” as the Metropolitan
journals not inaptly term them, cause them
to bear ho small ’resemblance, in one re
spect at least—the absence of all lieauty—
to the objects of their vituperation. These
the majority, although there have been
sorhe exceptions. Miss Olive Logan shone
resplendent, every art of the toilet having
been called into requisition; this, however,
being attributable to her theatrical educa
tion, and not to' the influence of the spirit
®f woman’s and. %remost, of all.
mrs. Stanton reclined her stately lorm in'
an easy chair tastefully attired in an ele
gant black silk. Indeed we may say to
Mrs. Stanton’s credit that she knows how
to dress herself, and that is not what ean
lie *teaid of the most of the lesser lights
whrcli revolve around her in this feminine
gallaxy. Not but wliat there are some at
tempts at dress, which turn out lamentable,
failures, resulting only in the cork-screw
curl, the inevitable sign of an uncertain
age.
Prominent among them, too, was the
bushy head and dusky visage of Fred
Douglass; while, awed into silent obscurity
by the pi;edoinineuce of the petticoats, sat
a few men almost hidden from view. On one
occasion, we believe several of these indi
viduals, inspired into a momentary courage,
rose all together and endeavored to speak
all at the same time, but were quickly put
to silence by the women, who ordered them
back into their proper position of subor
dination. The proceedings were varied at
one time, too, by a crazy "man coming for
ward and attempting to deliver an address,
he being carried away in a summary man
ner, and at another by a crazy woman, who
insisted upon being heard. Miss Anthony
and some others of the sisterhood, in this
dilemma, tried, but in vain, the gentle arts
of persuasion, and a policeman having
been called to carry her off; and she resist
ing this indignity by appropriate shrieks,
the officer of the law stood abashed, the
audience, with sympathetic cries, came to
her aid, and she, like the rest, had her say.
Women lecturers, too, are on the increase,
their ranks having been lately swelled by
the* addition of Kate Field, who is well
known among the litterati of the city, but
who finding the pen an unremunerative
means of support, has, abandoned writing
for public speaking. She, however, declines
not the feminine art of dress, and makers a
favorable impression, both in consequence
of this, and also of a graceful delivery and
agreeable voice. The lecture in which she
makes her debut is entitled “ Woman in the
Lyceum ;” which is at least an appropriate
theme.
The most interesting event in the line of
public amusements lias been the production
at the Academy of Music of “ Lurline,” of
which a due flourish of trumpets was made
in advance, and the Opera being a novelty,
there was, nocwitli,standing the decay of
musical matter, a good house. The part of
Lurline was sustained by Miss McCulloch,
who took the part in English. The same
Opera was given the next night in Italian,
Mad. States sustaining the principal role.
Tliis young Prima Donna is, by her superb
voice and good natural talent, winning a
high place for herself and becoming more
and more a favorite with the American
public.
At the Olympic, “ Humpty Dumpty,”
after a long life, has come to a triumphant
end, and will be succeeded by another bur
lesque pantomime of a like nature, entitled
“ Hiccory Diccory Dock.”

What Manufacturing Does. —Canton,
Ohio, is where all the patent reapers and
mowers are made. When the inventor went
there a few years ago, it was the dullest and
least progressive town in the State, and was
retrograding in wealth and population. He
asked the citizens for SIO,OOO for a start, and
received the sum as a loan. Results of the
investment—a large reaping and mowing

reaper and mower knives, aud one of sad

farm wagons, one of cultivators, one of
wrought Iron bridges, one of soap and can
dles, and'others more or less extensive. —
The town has tripled in population and
quadrupled in wealth, aud this helps the
farming interest in the neighborhood.

Wills Valiev te particularly rich inlcoal
and iron. The mountains on either ‘fcide
for a distance along the route of 60 miles
are filled with these minerals. In 'con
structing this road cuts were frequently
made through iron. In some instances em
bankments were made of iron ore taken
from the excavations. This road Ihen
passes through tlie Black Warrior poal
field, embracing 5,000 to 7,000 square miles,
with iron and coal lying side by side.
It is now in process of rapid construe 1
tion, the work progressing on each end.
About fifty miles are already completed.
Arrangements are also being perfected for
its continuance from Meridian to New Or
leans, about 160 miles, making this, via
Chattanooga and Cincinnati, the shortest

The fourth great line from Chattanooga
is that from Montgomery to Decatur, Ala.,
about 185 miles, thence by the Memphis
hud Charleston Road, to Chattanooga.—
The former is under contract in the hands
of responsible parties, to be completed with
in two years. Thus, you have two great
trunk lines, penetrating Alabama to the
Gulf-one through the heart of the cotton
region—tlie other penetrating the great
coal and iron regions of that State.
The fifth great trunk line is that of tlie
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, from
Chattanooga due west to Memphis, on the
banks of thfc Mississippi, 309 miles, with
an income exceeding $1,500,000 per annum.
In addition to those five trunk lines,
there are tlie Nashville and Chattanooga,
151 miles, and the East Tennessee and
Georgia, 112 miles, Chattanooga to Knox
ville, making seven grand trunk lines cen
tering at Chattanooga, amounting, in the
aggregate, to over 3,500 miles of road in
actual operation, besides 500 miles in pro
cess of construction.
Colonel Hulbert, after this careful and
valuable exposition of thesystein of South
ern railway, closed with the following re
flections :
“ Chattanooga being tlie Northern cen
tre of the great railroad system of the
South, and Cincinnati being the centre of
the Southern line of the great railway sys
tem between the Rocky Mountains and the
coast—with the completion of the pro
posed Southern road, Cincinnati will com
mand the entire trade of the Gulf of Mexi
co, almost the entire cotton trade of tlie
South. Time was when cotton was moved
mainly by water. That time lias passed.
The commodity is too valuable. Steamers
and sail vessels are too slow. Three
fourths of the cotton crop, since' the war,
has been moved by rail, although tlie difli
cultias in the way are now great, liaving to
ship by roundabout routes. In conse
quence of this, for three years, the ' ship
ment of our cotton crop has been delayed
and our planting interests have suffered.
We feel the necessity of a great railway
connection with tlie Northern railway sys
tem.
“ Chattanooga is nearly on an air line to
Pensacola; and from there it is only eigh
teen hours run to Havana. With such a
grand railroad connection Cincinnati ought
to control the sugar trade' of Cuba.—
[Cheers.] Aud not only this, but the South
American trade immediately South of the
Gulf, and especially the coffee trade of Bra
zil.- [Renewed cheers.]
“There is no railroad project on this
continent so important to tlie great inter
ests of tlie country at large as this single
line. Cincinnati has it in her power, with
in ten years, to command tlie trade of the
Gulf of Mexico, almost the entire trade of
tlie cotton States and the trade of South
America. It rests with you to say whether
you will possess yourselves of thisjirivi
legc or not.
“ So far as our being able to aid you, I
would say that we are poor. Tlie war
ruined us; our railroads were almost
broken up, to repair which we have con
tracted large debts; we are just now get
ing upon our feet again; we are not able to
subscribe largely, unless It is done collec
tively, and this I will on my return urge
upon my railroad friends, aud ask them to
unite in building this trunk from Chatta
nooga to the State line. [Cheers.] Knox
ville has been spoken of as a terminus. I
think it should be one of the termini. But
we ask of you—all our Southern roads
having important business relations for
you—ask that you do not place a third
party between yourselves and us.” [Ap
plause.]

It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now annually sent. North for
LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of which takes so much from Southern vitality. Henceforth
let ns keep our investments at. home, and we.will again assert aud maintain our supremacy. This
BRANCH OFFICE offers all inducements ior Lite Insurance of a perfect Home Office, with
these advantages : The Capital is furnished, the expense of commencing operations lias been
incurred, the success, beyond perad venture, is established, and the whole Capital and Assets of
the Home Company stand committed to sustain it.
The entire management of the Piedmont is in the hands of Southern men, and its aim is to
sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern men place their money andThe inter
ests of their wives aud children in the hands of Northern men, who, you know, do not love you. and
who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity, and WHOSE CHARTERS FORBID HIE
INVESTMENT OF ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT?
THE PIEDMONT is not only a thoroughly Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest
all fuuds accruing in Georgia, within the State, under the direction of Georgia gentlemen, in.
whose integrity you must have entire confidence.
THE PIEDMONT gives 87% per cent, of net profits to her Policy holders ; issues Gold Poli
cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or at Gold standard ; has already declared 40 per cent,
dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, iu short, offers all advantages that Southern men could
ask. We, therefore, confidently appeal to Southern men to sustain an established and perma
nent institution of their own, and we cannot doubt the results.
THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privileges and benefits granted its patrons, to any
