Sound doctrine from the Sparta lahnoulitr: A good cause stands on its own merit*. A bad one cannot be surely built up by detraction, abuse, calum ny and falsehood.

Last Friday there was another strike, tins time, at the Riverside Mills, owned by Mr M. E. MoCov About s •ventven membeis ■of the Knights of Libor struck on account of the di ieharge of one of their number Their places have liewti tilled, by what are commonly .called bv the Knights, "scabs, ’ and the Mill is now working all right. This strike did not create a particle of excitement, compared w.th the first . The strike at the ‘.lgernon Mills lias txw>n aitisfaetonly settled by the resignation of Mr. McG.-iw, the over wwr He came back, as ho said, to have the charges of cruelty etc., •gainst him investigated, but as soon as the Knights of Labor working in the factory, saw him enter the d »or, they again struck V|Ktn being assured by the I‘reKident that lie was not to be taken back, they returned to work. They say they are willing to work, but they will not doao under Mr. McGaw or auv man or men of his stamp The Knights say they' want public opinion ■ their side, but if they do not stop . ..ng fur such •i simple thing ss the discharge of one <>f tluir members they will not get it Tins is an absurd way of doin • busitx - They will only get condemnation from our good ju-ople if th« y keep on in the way in which they have started. It was rumored on the streets just after the strikes, that .Mr. Powderly, Grund Master Workman >f the Knights of Labor of the I'uited States, content plat ed|« owing to Augus ta for the purpose of eatixfactoiily ar ranging the Mill Iro'ibhs I pon questioning piominciit Knights tiny say there is no truth in the rum< r .Mr. Powerly is a sensible mnn, mid if he does come hue, nil troubles will be settled satisfactorily to both sides, and there will be no strike talk about either. The Richmond County Agricultural .Society had their regular Annual Picnic at the “Schcufzen Platz last Saturday. .Neatly six hundred people were pi esent Crop news and chatic, were thoroughly diacusM-tl. Ihe general opinion seemed to be that they would have a larger crop this year, than for the last ten y< is. 'I e Society was u<l litm ><■<! by Hon Charh aC. Jones. Jr. H< made < y.e of his usual inimitable ccches. Dinner was served at two o'clock and the pic me, wax thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Tim Cantala arranged Ly Dr. ami Mis Goodrich for tin, benefit of the poor of West Eml was a grand sue c-cHH. I could not do justice to it, no matter how hard I might try. 1 lie seasons spring, Bummer, autum and winter were represented by Misses Mattie Platt, Kiltie Walton, Susie Wallace and Mias Maude Stovall, in the order named. The niirnt sos Dr. ami Mrs. Goodrich will never be forgotten for their good deeds The Annual Commencement of the St. Mary'a Academy last Friday night at flu- Open House, was beyond doubt the finest school exhibition it has ever been my good fortune to witness. The salutatory was spoken by Miss A. Morrison. She was frequently mid enthusiastically ap plauded. '1 hen the greeting song by the class, “I love the sea." Ail were dressed in sailor costumes. This was one of the bits of the evening. The song "My Mountain home, by Misses Sumner mid Heft, was the music d gem. Next in order came the Dram i "The witch of Iloseliburg" by several of the larger pupils of the school Space forbids giving the cast of characters entire. The acting of Miss Katie Dorr was charming and she captivated the large audience at her find appealmice. The song “Culm is the wave o'er the beautiful sen" by Misses Kelly and Sumner was finely rendered and fairly "brought down the house.” Miss Sumtier is a little maiden hardly t'.elve years of age and yet she is one of the best elocutionists in the city, a s] lendid singer an I mi accomplished musician Her com panion, Miss Kelley, is a young Indy of rare accomplishments. The Swiss Peasants March mid song “buy a broom mid the Grund Gypsy chorus were the hits of the evming. The following is the graduating d iss of iNSti. Misses V McCarthy, E. Hogan, E White, A Morrison ami W, Dcwceti. The \ alediton was deliver ed by Miss A. McCarthy, and was delivered with "spirit ami Deling.

John S Davidson, President of the Board of Education, who paid a glowing I ribute to the sisters in charge of the school. The Whole school then sting "Home, sweet home" nnd the nudienct disperse ! loud in their praises of an entertainment not soon to bo forgot ten. Several other commencements will come oil'next week. All the children von see now are we iring thoughtful looks They are thinking of their "parts." The Deutdiser Selieutzeil Fest was the largest the club has yet had. I'he prizes were numerous ami costly and Wi i<‘ hotly contested for. i hree candidates for the 1/ gixlatnre made presentation speeches. President Sancken wanted to give them nil a chance, but thiy were too many for him Everything passed otT pleasantly. < Tried in the Crucible. ” JU - Aboat twenty year* ago I dbcowrrd a little acre on my cheek, and the doctors pro nounced it cancer.

Delegations from Aiken, Charleston mid Savannah were present. The Gun t'iub recently organized here, beat the Savannuli Club in the Clay pigeon shooting match. The Bell Tower watchmen were serenaded by the department last Thursday evctiing. They will Boon retire from -> rvme ns the City Council have decidid that it is no longer neciled. Both the watchmen were presented with purses. They have is eu faithful in tin- discharge of their dut;. and deserve the praises nnd e-tcem of the citizens of Augusta. Our base bnll team is doing very well now if they will only keep on in that way. But their actions in the p i t fe-i weeks are suggestive. It bad lhe appearance that some kind of private game was being manipulated. 1 IS hoped that if they intend doing ani thing they will do «o nt once On last Saturday we hud quite a crowd of Carolinians with us on a pic me. They were from Blackville ami vicinity nnd had quite nn enjoy able time. They left loud in their praisi > of the city by the river. Jhe following school commence ment take place during the following week: St. Patricks Commercial In stitute, Richmond County Academy, Sacred Heart Academy, Tubman High School, Hephzibah High School ami the Ware ('olored High School. Quite a number have already taken place and a number nre yet to come. The town— the whole town is in the throes of "commencement.’’ The regular weekly excursions to Beaufort from Augusta have com menced. You can now go to Beau fort on Saturday evening, stay there all Saturday night, Sunday and Sun day night and it will only cost you $5, railroad fare, board, hack fare and everything included. It is not only generally conceded, but it is consi lered ns settled that Hon. John S. Davidson will be re turne i to the Senate from this, the iKth district Glascock will nomi nate him as her choice and ho will be unanimously fleeted as he was before. Tuis will be a great compliment to Mr Davidson and is only what he de serves. Young Master Triitland Cleckley, the son of Dr. Cleckley, of this city, was found on the Milledgeville road several days ago with his arm broken in two places. He was picked up by his friends and brought to town. It is presumed that he was hunting bird s nests, and in climbing a tree to get a nest the limb broke, precipitat ing him in the ditch with the results stated. He is now out of danger.— He is n bright little fellow and it would have been a sad blow to his parents if he had been killed. On last Friday James Gardner, the colored driver of the horses of the Georgia Fire Com puny, while drunk attempted to jump on the wagon to which they were hitched They made n sudden dash and caught his leg between the spokes mid broke it in four five places. He was taken to his home mid medical aid was culled in at. once. He will be confined to his bed for several weeks at least,.— This account of the accident was re lated to me by an eye witness. There is some talk of ordering nn election on the question of u paid tire departim nt for the city If it is put to a vote of the citizens it will un doubtedly be earned for tire depart ment. The Electric Fire Alarm would be useless without a paid department The cost will not be much more than for the Volunteer Department and liesides w ill save a great deal of valuable property where the volun teers would bo useless. It do not mean to detract from the merits of our volunteers for tnere is no better volunteer system ill the United States but every one will admit that the paid department would work with better discipline nnd besides they would have nothing else to do but to stay at the engine houses and be ready for alarms. It lias been hot hero during the last week - -very hot. The thermome ter stood at 'JO m the shade for two or three days. The main object of a large majority of people now, is to keep cool. Crops in the fields around Augusta are in very good condition. The showing for cotton is very much above the avi-rage reports from sur rounding counties. The farmers are happy and think they will have a bet ter vear than last. Our churches are all well attended nnd we are having quite a revival of interest in Sunday School work. GEXEHAL NOTEN. “Howidve-do, my friend, how-dye do, I'm glad to we you looking so well. Walk in and take a seat,” says the candidate for the Legislature. It , is almost the same as “walk into my parlor said the spider to the Uy.”. .. ■ The usual set of dead beats are work ing their little game on the festive candidate for the Legislature. Preston Valentine hits applied for a new trial, which will delay his case at least six months. If the new trial is not granted his attorneys say they will take the case to the Supreh.e Court. .. The Right Rev. Bishop Becker preached nt the St. Patrick's Catholic Church in this city last Sun day. He was entertained in the af ternoon by the pupils of the Sunday School.. .Friday afternoon, Jake Duly, n crazy negro man after break ing two or three unoffending heads with n chair, was taken in by Patroll men Damisli and Hemrick.

I fortuna tely met Mr Newt Hcggie on the Hired* of St. Janiis, when he gave me a bottle of 11. H. I‘. I Itartrd like a charm, and in three days I was perfectly relieved. So ])lc;ised waH 1 with the • Ifocts I bought a dozen bottles, and for the sum of $5 spent I received ten fold returns. Yours truly, ThoM’.n G. Brouke. The above is forcibly illustrated by the following private letter to Mr. Hcggie: St. Thoris, Mareb 3, lKßf>. Dear Newt How I can ever thank you siifiieiently for your recommendation of 11. 11. I*. I do not know, but rest ussiired I feel under many obligations. After my wife and I return ed from our bridal tour nothing would do Sally but to have her mother live with us. She came, and from the first began quarreling with the cook, the butter, house girl and nil, and in fact raising a row about everything. Nothing yould please her. The tea was too strong or too weak. When we had pic she want ed pudding. At last patience ceased to be a virtue, and, being strongly umb r thr impress ing she was crazy, 1 sent for Dr. J.--- . He after a careful diagnosis ot her rase, said she was sulh ring from biliousness and torpid liver. 1 then saw at last peace and happiness in view. I induced her to take H. H. I*. Even the first dose made a marvelous change, and after having used two bottles, “niirabh dictn,” she has become the nicest old lady in the land. If 1 had not fortunaU ly met yon on the street I fear that ere this T would have been a lunatic. My advice to you is, if you ever get married, and to all other voting couples, is to lay in a few bottles of 11. H. P. With kind regards, I am your friend, Tom. N.B.— The neighbors are surprised at the great change in my mother-in-law. Tell the proprietors of H. 11. P. that when I tell them the cause they will have to enlarge their busi- 1 ness.
