The Prefect of tlio Rhone has issued an or-
to the effect that as in a great number of
cases and beer-rooms the presence of waiting
girls is a )>ermanent cause of scaudal and the
occasion of frequent disturbances, the mas
ters of those establishments are henceforth in
terdicted from employing women to serve the
customers. The present decision is to lie in
vigor ten days after the notice thus given.

be difficult, the Appeal thinks, to apply the
same parity of reasoning to these bonds. As
the slave-holder loit half his wealth, the bond
holder should lose half bis bonds. How will

TIIE COTTON EXCHANGE CON
VENTION.
Letter to the New Orleans Cotton Ex
change.
We published some time since the
resolutions passed by the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange inviting every Cotton
Exchange throughout the country to

gusta on the 10th day of June, 1874, to
meet delegates from the New Orleans
Exchange, »11 of whom together shall
form a Convention, whose business it
shall be to adopt such measures an 1 re
commendations as to them shall seem
best for obtaining prompt and thorough
ly reliable information upon all points
affecting the cotton interest, which
are not now sufficiently indicated,
and for the geueral improvement
of the present system of informa
tion and statistics. These resolutions
were officially received by the Augusta
Exchange yesterday. The resolntious
recommend each institution to send as
representatives their Superintendent,
Chairman of Committee on Information
and Statistics, and three other members,
live iu all, who shall be chosen for their
capacity and ability iu dealing with the
questions to arise. An invitation is also
extended to the commercial news de
partment of the telegraph companies to
send delegates to attend in the capacity
of representatives and members of the
Convention.
The Secretary, Mr. H. G. Ilesten, in
forwarding the resolutions, says : “We
have already assurances of co-operation,
received previous to the issue of a formal
call, from Mobile, Memphis, Mont
gomery, Char.eston, Savannali and Gal
veston, together with a telegram from
the Chairman of the Committee on In
formation anil Statistics, of the New
York Cotton Exehauge heartily endors
ing the plan of Convention as set forth in
the circular letter of our secretary and un

New Orleans Cotton Exchange has al
ready selected as three of its delegates,
Messrs. John Phelps (President -of the
Exchange;, Harrison Watts (Chairman
Committee on. Information and Statis
tics), and H. G. Hesten (Superinten
dent). Upon receipt of the resolutions
and accompanying information, Capt.
Roswell King, Secretary of the Augusta
Exchange, responded as follows :
Augusta, Ga., May 21st, 1874.
To lit' President and Directors of the
N< w Orleans Cotton Exchange :
Gestlemes’ —The members of our Ex
change receiving a proposition emanat
ing from your body, for a convention of

gusta June 10th, 1871, passed a resolu
tion tendering the use of our rooms for
said meeting, and farther seconded the

appoint five delegates to represent this
body in said Convention.
As the movement emanated from your
ustitution, and believing that the ob

and necessary to secure the desired re
sult. Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

placed thu necessary inscriptions on
each in a handsome bold hafld,
easily read at lirst glance. Captain
King, the Secretary, is also doing all in
his power to make tiife visit of the dele
gates a pleasant one. The officers and
members of the Exchange will see to it
that the Convention is a success as far
as their efforts are concerned.
ENTERPRISE IN TIIE SOUTH.
The Southern Mutual Life Insurance
Company.
Pursuant so notice, there was a re
union of the Trustees and friends of the
Augusta Branchof the Southern Life In
surance Company, at the reading room
of the Central Hotel yesterday morning,
at 11 o’clock.
On motion of Mr. J. 11. Miller, Gene
ral Superintendent of Agencies, Maj.
Geo. T. Jackson was called to the Chair
and Mr. M. V. Calvin requested to act
as Secretary.
Gen. A. H. Colquitt was then intro
duced to the meeting by the Chairman.
Gen. Colquitt said that there was
nothing too small or too great which
they should not take hold of if it ad
vanced the interests of the fc outh. By
arbitrary laws and class legislation the
South lost much which should have
swelled her resources, but so great was
her prosperity before the war that theso
losses were hardly appreciable. All this
was changed now. The Eastern and
Northern States had constantly sought
to concentrate capital in their midst,
while, with a few exceptions, the South
had done nothing in that direction. The
people of the Soutli thought there was
less enterprise iu this than iu other sec
tions, and hud therefore been con
tent to leave the management of
their linanees to those sections.
Unless they could satisfy the people
that there was merit and enterprise in
the South, they would not get out of
tho present condition of things. He
had always tried to convince the people
that it was not necessary for them to go
out of their own borders and to pay
other men ti i!o what they might do
themselves. Present any enterprise to
business men, and the very first opinion
that arose was that it was overshadowed
by other similar institutions in tho
North. In this way all our enterprises
were dwarfed. There was not a solitary
dollar from any New York insurance
company that could pass into property
in our midst. It was perfectly uatural
and commendable that the people of the
North should seek to build up their
prosperity, and the only thing he had to
say in reference to the matter was that
the South should take the same steps.
In traveling oil the South Carolina llail
road a few days since, and passing the
factories along its line, a stranger, who
was evidently a Northern man, seemed
surprised, and asked him what were
those. He replied that they were fac
tories. “Why,” said the stranger,
“you must have some Yankee enter
prise down here 1” And such was
the bent of Northern opinion. There
must, they thought, boa little Yankee
spirit and a little Yankee ingenuity for
anything to succeed in the South. After
the war it was said that Northern men
could manage the new system of labor
in the South better than any one else.
But. the resrilts had not shown this. Not
one of these men had come among us
and gone into planting but what had
made a ridiculous failure. He meant
this as no reflection upon Northern men,
but in vindication of the South. When
the Southern Mutual Life Insurance
Compauy was instituted the press and
people of the North said it would be a
failure, and even the South rather
looked down upon it. But. it had suc
ceeded in spite of all obstacles. We can
make any institution iu the South just
as good as any in the North if we choose
to do it. Augusta could be made just
as great a mauufacturiug town as Lowell
if her people resolved to do it. If
Sprague, in the height of his prosperity,
had come to Augusta, a hundred hats
would have been doffed to him where
one would have been takeu off to men
at the head of factories in our
midst. And yet Sprague, and others like
him, had failed. The people of the
South should be chained together by a
bond of sympathy, and build up its
waste places. Would they support their
own institutions or be overshadowed by
the vastness of those at the North ? Let
us begin with anything that comes to j
our knowledge. The intelligent gentle- i
men of Augusta could give an impetus i
to Southern life insurance which would i
be felt all over the country. The result]
that be arrived at was that Georgia
should be built up and take the lead in
enterprise. He would feel rewarded for
all his efforts if in the future he should
see Georgia prosperous and happy as iu
the past. His whole heart aud sympa
thies were with her. He expected when
the race of his life was ran to have his
body laid down in her valleys.
Mr. J. U. Miller said he called this
meeting particularly for the purpose of
hearing from Gen. Colquitt. He had
had a contract drawn up by a of
Augusta between certain residents of
Augusta *iui the Southern Life Insu
rance Company. He had now about
forty, and hoped to have n*ora names
added to the list. The full list of these
trustees, with an address from the Ex
ecutive, would soon he published iu the
city papers.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
After the adjournment those who were
present were invited to partake of re
freshments and champagne furnished by
Mr. Miller. Several toasts were given.

THE RESULT OF A kl(k.
A FIGHT BEGINNING IN FUN
ends fatally.
A Tragic Scene in Harrisburg—Death
of Kenneth McDonald -What the
Coroner's Jury Say.
Last Friday evening, about balf-past
six o’clock, the little village of Harris
burg. just outside the city limits, was
the scene of a tr gie occurrence, result
ing iu the death of a Scotchman named
Kenneth McDonald. The affair took
place on the wide street running between
the straggling row of houses iu the vil
lage, and about a quarter of a mile be
yond Hawks’ Gully bridge. The imme
diate locality where McDonald met his
death is a little this side of Herman’s
boarding house and bar room. The cir
cumstances adduced from the evidence
at the Coroner’s inquest appear to be as
foil >ws : A short time after six o’clock
Friday afternoon Patrick Murphy and
Kenneth McDonald, who had hitherto
been on friendly terms, came out of
Giebner’s, both being under the in
fluence of liquor. McDonald seemed
Anxions to Fight
Murphy, while the latter was evidently
desirous of avoiding a difficulty, and
tried to get away from liis companion.
He finally succeeded in leaving McDon
ald, who, however, followed him with
his coat off and knife in hand, saying
“ I’ll kill Murphy or be killed.” Murphy
ran, but McDonald overtook and struck
him. Murphy then, iu the language of one
of the witnesses, “hauled off and struck
him and kicked him twice,” and walked
off. McDonald was on his back in the
road, and “looked a dark purple, almost
black." He was picked up and carried
to Herman’s, and died about eight
o’clock. Murphy, as soon as he ascer
tained that McDonald’s injuries had
proved fatal, came to the city and
Gave Himself Up
To the polica. As it appeared from his
own statement, however, and that of
others, that he had acted in self-defense,
lie was discharged.
McDonald, the deceased, was a native
of the n oth of Scotland, and came to
this section about a year and a half ago.
He was twenty-five years of age, and
weighed about one hundred and sixty
pounds. Murphy is about thirty-five
years old, ami a somewhat taller and
stouter man than the deceased. The
fight between them, which resulted so
fatally,
Commenced in Fun,
And nothing serious would have grown
out of it if the two men had been sober.
This unfortunately was not the case.
McDonald, it is said, was more intoxi
cated than Murphy.
Inquest.
Justice Smythe summoned a jury yes
terday morning, and held an inquest
over,the body. The following evidence
was elicited :
J. W. Chase, sworn: I saw both parties
as they came out of Giebner’s. McDon
ald seemed to be anxious to fight, while
Murphy seemed anxions to get away
from him. He did get off and McDon
ald overtook him, and Murphy struck
him, knocked him down and kicked him
twice. Knocked him down the second
time. Murphy never seemed to be
mad, but seemed anxious to keep quiet.
Amos Walton (colored), sworn: The
deceased, Kenneth McDonald, started
towards Mr. Murphy, coat off and knife
iu hand. Said, “I will kill Murphy or
be killed.” Murphy started and ran,
and McDonald struck him. Murphy
shoved him off, and struck him and
kicked him twice.
Henry Giebner, sworn: The fuss start
ed in fun. The dead man said so. Did
not see the fight on the street. Deceas
ed left my house with knife in hand.
Murphy said he did not want to hurt
McDonald. They were both drinking.
They wanted to wrestle. Did not hear
McDonald say that, he would kill Mur
phy. Murphy said he did not want to
hurt him. McDonald broke into my
house before the difficulty, but said
nothing, anil went out quietly with knife
in hand.
James McCullough, sworn: Yesterday
after dinner went up stairs. After awhile
I awoke and saw deceased and Mr. Mur
phy down stairs ; spoke to them, and
afterwards took three drinks with them.
After that I wanted them to leave. They
then commenced talking about wrest
ling, which I put a stop to, but they
continued to disagree as to which was
the best man. After taking the drinks
they both left Mr. Gielmer’s and came
this way. When I got to where they
were they were clinched. I asked them
to desist and shoved them apart. Mur
phy said, “McDonald, let me alone, else
I will hurt you.” McDonald said to
Murphy “God d—n you, you can’t hurt
me,” Just then McDonald got in front
of me and Murphy struck him and
knocked him down. Murpliy said “I
wont kick you,”,and I again interrupted.
They again made for each other, and
Murphy said, “Keep away, for I don’t
want to hurt you.” They, however, got
together, and Murphy struck him twice
on the head with his hands, and knocked
him down and kicked him twice, after
he was down, on the head. I then took
hold of Murphy and took him off. I
then saw that McDonald was on his
back and looked a dark purple, almost
black. I turned him over. He lived
about one hour and a half. I heard
Murphy say “McDonald, put away that
knife,” but I saw no knife.
Mrs. Sarah Chase, sworn : I first saw
both parties in front of Mr. Giebuer’s
store. When I weut to my door and
looked down towards Giebuer’s, I saw
Murpliy and deceased in front of Gieb
ner’s. Deceased seemed as if lie wanted
to fight. Murphy pushed him back,
seeming quiet. The next I saw of the
two parties Murphy was coming up the
street with McDonald following and
begging him to be friendly with him.
He threw liis arms around Murphy’s
neck and begged him to come back with
him. 1 then saw a man separate them,
and Murphy started up the street. Mc-
Donald released himself from the man
and followed after Murphy, and again
caught hold of him. 1 then saw Mc-
Donald fall. He arose and struck at
Murpliy. Murphy turned to him again
and he fell on tho sidewalk, I then
turned from the door and then went
back, and saw Murphy kick McDonald
in the face.
Washington Bey nolds, sworn: I saw de
ceased after Mr. Murphy trying to fight
him, and Mr. Murphy retiring saying,
“I don’t want to hurt you.” He then
broke the door of Gielmer’s open and
went in and came out with a knife iu
hand. Mr. Murphy left him and came
up the street. McDonald followed and
overtook him and took hold of him.
Murphy said “Please leave me alone, I
don’t want to hurt you.” Just then
they clinched. Souio one separated
them. They clinched again and I saw
McDonald fall and Murphy kick him
twice while down. 1 don’t know whether
McDonald got the knife iu Giebner’s or
not,. It looked like a large knife. lam
positive that no one struck McDonald
except Murphy. When McDonald over
took Murphy he locked arms with him,
knife in 1 and.
George Gross, sworn : I was in front
of Herman’s store, going towards the
bridge. Saw Murphy and McDonald
fighting. I ran to them. Saw them
clinched. McDonald had Murphy by
the throat with both hands, ehoaking
him. Murpliy said to me, “Take him
away else he will kill me.” After that
Murphy and I left. Very soon Mc-
Donald came up and caught Murphy by
the throat agaiu and drew hack one
hand with' something iu it—do not
know what it was—saying, “ I will
have revenge.” Murphy said “Let me
alone, 1 would rather fight my brother
than you.” McDonald said “You area
G —n" d—n liar” and Murphy hit him
with his fist, knocked him down, then
kicked him in the head twice.
William Clary, sworu ; I saw the
whole difficulty. About half past six
o’clock I came up to Mr. Qiebuer's and
got a glass of beer and saw iu there the
deceased aud Mr. Murphy and John
Jacobs in a high dispute aud excited
manner. I went then into Mr. Gieb
ner's hack room. I sat there a minute
and the deceased came iu the back room
where I was, in a very abrupt manner.
I took a glass of lager. Deceased and
Murphy took whisky. McDonald said
at that time “I can kill any d —ued
Papist s—n of a hitch in the crowd.”
No oue resented the insult. Mc-
Donald brpke open the front
door leading to where 1 was, and
asked me for my knife, saying, “I will
kill Murphy, Q —d d—n him, he has
gone back on Gordon.” I refused, aud
he took a small knife out of his vest
pocket, saying, “I will kill him.” Mur
phy then left where we were, and went
as * far as Mrs. Harri*’. McDonald left
the house where we were, and followed
Murphy, overtaking him and threaten
ing him, with knife in hand, when Mur-
I phy struck him.
Dr. M. J. Jones was sworn, and testi
fied that npon examination of the de
ceased he found a fracture of the nasal
bone, but no other injury of a serious
nature. Death might fiaye been caused
from the hemorrhage resulting from the
fracture, or what was more likely, from
concussion or congestion of the brain.
The jury, of which Mr. Wm. O’Brien
was foreman, returned the following
verdict:
“We. the jury, find that Kenneth
McDonald came to bis death by the
hands of Patrick Murphy, said act being
done in kelf-defeose without any crimi
nal intent.”
The St. Andrews’ Society of this city
took charge of the remains.'
Work on the fortifications of Fort
Pulaski has been discontinued for the
present, the appropriation) haying been

Church Conduct.— There is nothing
whicli so betrays the want of proper
feeling and manners as unbecoming con
duct in church during divine service's.
It is presumed that everyone who goes
to a chureh on Sunday, or any other
time when public worship is held iu the
city,, does so for tfie purpose of wor
shipping God ; of paying that- adoration
to the Great Ruler of all things, which
is the one object of religion. If by our
actions we show that this presumption
is a wrong one and that we have other
motives iu view when we visit the sacred
temple, we not only defy the Author of
our being, but distract the attention of
others and make reflecting people wish
that we would either reform our con
duct or stay at home. A prominent fea
ture of this ill conduct is the habit of
turning the back, virtually if not liter
ally, upon the pulpit, and staring in the
faces of persons occupying pews in the
rear. What is gained by so disagreea
ble a practice is not known; that it is
contrary to religion is morally certain.
Many parties, perhaps, who follow the
habit do so heedlessly, but there are
others who are undoubtedly aware el
what they are doing and imagine that it
adds to their importance. That this is
a grave error we need not tell thinking
people.
The LaGrange Reporter savs: The
bright sunshine of the past week or two
has had an invigorating effect on crops.
They are recovering from the sickness
and weakness, resulting from the con
tinued rains and cool weather, and now
present a vigorous, healthy appearance,
and are growing fast. A great deal of
cotton that was first planted was killed,
and there was some scarcity of seed for
replanting. Almost everybody, however,
so far as we are informed, managed to
procure enough to putin a good second
crop; and if nothing very bad happens,
this portion of West Georgia will make
a pretty fair crop of cotton. Besides
this, we have good reports from.the
grain crop. Corn, wheat, rye and oats
have received more attention this year
than any since the war; and all promise
well. Un the whole, the farming out
look lias changed materially within the
jiast two or three weeks, and prospects
are very much better than they were
then. We urge our farming friends to
put in plenty of corn; if they have
not already done so. Breadstuff's will
probably rule very high next Winter iu
this section.

Seven Millions of Pokes.— All day
and ail night the exhausted particles of
every human system are passing off
through seven millions of quarter-inc ;
hose—that being about the length of
thesweatducts connected with the pores.
If these are obstructed, sickness ensues;
if they were sealed up, the consequences
would be death. It is one of the pro
vinces of Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters to
keep the superficial escape pipes open,
as well as those larger excretory organs,
the bowels. The stomach and the skin
sympathize, and it is through the stom
ach that the Bitters act upon the cuticle,
keeping it most, elastic aud unfevered.
The famous vegetable invigorant is a
marvellous medicine; no other prepara
tion known contains such a variety of
curative aud preservative elements, or
acts, at the same time, in such a variety
of beneficial ways. Iu dyspepsia it
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite, and controls the liver ; iu fe
ver and ague it breaks up the fits; in
eases of physical prostration it is lite
rally a vital specific. my24-suwefr&w

PRODUCE REVIEW.
For the past woek general trade has been
moderate. The demand from the country,
however, has been better, causing con idera
ble movement in some articles, particularly in
Bacon and Corn, the market for which is very
firm and stiff at advancing figures. With this
exception the Provision market is without
notable change. Grain— Wheat has had a
quiet market, there being but a very moderate
demand for tfie artiole at lower figures. Oats
are scarce and in demand at full prices
Flour— Wo liavo to report a rathor dull mar
ket— ho stock is good and demand light at
quotations. Hay— With good supply the mar
ket is ruling quiet and unchanged Butter—
The receipts were quiet and liberal, with on v
a moderate dura old at easier prices fr in retail
dealers. Eggs— The market is well supplied
and have declined somewhat, deemed only
moderate. Lard— Stock good, demand fair,
and at previous figures. Domestics— local

OBITUAKY.
Entered into his rest, on tho morning of tho
14th of April, 1874, Thomas Richards, aged 72
years.
Our Heavenly Father has summoned hence
from the scenes of his earfhtv labor one who
though past the allotted limit of human life,
was oistinginshed to his last moment, for dis
charging tns duties with unwavering fidelity ;
f; r an untiring patience: a careful use of
time, and a resoluto a plication to business
Always at his post, his friends min long 00-
plore the loss of a man so trim, so honest, yet
so unobtrusive. To his family liis loss is irre
parable. •
lie was not a profess r of religion, but his
love and admiration of the church and her doc
trines wore truly exemplary. Loss than two
days before his death, he filled his accustomed
seat in the house of God. Wo miss him there ;
rye miss him in the homo eiicle : we nnss him
from his old familiar place of business, where
he was for a long, long time. God graciously
spared him to a venerable age. yet we mourn
his departure from among us—bin blessed
hope sheds her bright ray over the gloom of
the grave and points beyond this val > of tears
to where there will bo no more partings, no
more distress.
‘•God, who is faithful, true and kind,
Works all things by his will ;
But yet it is the human mind
To grieve for loved ones still ” ,T,
