A New Remedy for Fever and
Ague.
This is emphatically an age of pro
gress. Old methods are being sup
planted by new, and we are adding
constantly to our stores of knowledge
in all directions. Medical Science
bas made rapid strides in the past
quarter of a century. Discoveries
have been made of great value to
mankind, and new remedies are ta
king the places of those which have
been tried and found wanting. In
many sections of the country the
great want has been a medicine,
harmless in its effects on the system,
yet active and powerful as an anti
dote to malarial or miasmatic poison.
Every sufferer, therefore, from Fever
and Ague , Bilious or lutermit'ent
Fever , or any form of malarial dis
ease, will hail with delight the an
nouncement of anew remedy for
those distressing complaints called
Agucine, which is warranted to
cure , and contains no quinine, calo
mel or other hurtful drug. It is said
the most delicate person can take it
with entire safety. Many of our
prominent dealers have accepted
agencies for the sale of Agueine.
and the proprietors have authorized
them to refund the money in every
case of failure to cure, where the
medicine is taken according to direc
tions. Any of our readers having
the misfortune to be afflicted with
the “Chills” can try this remedy at
no risk , as they are certain to get
their money back if not cured.
Written for the Record.
Tight Times.
Everybody is complaining of hard
times. Well, it is true, we are hav
ing hard times, but let’s see if we
cannot better them. Well, one says,
how are we going to do it? Some
say the Legislature would adopt
some measure that would relieve the
people, but they could not do this,
because it was not within their pow
er to do so. Yes, but says some
one, they did adopt a relief for us,
for they reinacted ths usury law,and
we are going to borrow money cheap
and pay up all of our debts, and
hutke everything easy. Bat they are
badly mistakened; in the first place,
Ihe common farming class of people,
who need money worst, are not going
to be able to get any money, as all
for this reason, the man who has
money to loan, will, as we have
heard them say they will do, loan
their money to some railroad or
banking company. They say this
will, if I have to loan my money at a
low per cent., I will let someone
have it that is able to pay it back to
me when I want it. If a man is
worth $1,000,000, he can borrow
money any time at 7 per cent.; if he
is worth SSOO, he cannot get it at all
now. But before the usury law was
in force, the man who had a little
more money than he needed, he
would say to the poor man, if you
will give me more for my money
than I can get from the rich man, I
will take the chances of collecting
it, and let you have some. No farm
ers, no legislation can effect this
thing any in the least, but I will tell
you what will remedy it, and think
the remedy, or a part of it, will be
applied this year; and that is to buy
nothing unless you can pay for it;
use economy and industry, and you
will bring about great relief. Well,
but says someone, we cannot do
without some things. But this is all
a mistake, for it has not been but
about ten years since we done with
out credit and money both, and ntm
that we cannot do without credit.
I knoff it is hard to do without these
things, but we can do it. If thsre had
never been no lien law and guano
selling, our country would to-day
h§ve been in a prosperous condition.
But now, if the fane’s want cheap
money, there is a way to bring it
about, and that for the people to call
a convention for the state and wipe
cut homestead and all exemption
laws, and make the shirt on a man’s
back subject to his debts, then they
will have cheap money, and not un
til that is done, will it be so. And we
are surprised at some of our papers
in the country that are brow-beating
the Legislature for not reinacting
the lien law, when it is an unconsti
tutional measure.

Our Country.
We flatter ourselves of the fact
that our country is in as good condi
tion, if not better, than any of our
sister countries. Paulding is the
place to locate. Why? Because w
have as good lands in Paulding as
you will find a nest anywhere. We
are blessed with as good freestone
water as the world affords, as healthy
a climate, as moral a set of citizens
as any country; we are out of debt;
the county does not owe anything;
she even paid the expense of her last
court, cash up; she has no represent,
ative in the chain-gang; no inmates
of her jail; our farmers have been
mighty about their debts ever since
the war, but the shortness of crops
last year threw some of them behind
a little, but we think if they can
make good crops this year, they will
come out all right next fall. Their
will is good, and if they are not
providentially hendcred, they will do
it. It is true, we have not the ad
vantages of railroads that some oth
ers have, but the time is not far dis
tant when we will have a road runn
ing through our county. The rich
mineral beds of our county are suffi
cient to authorize this without any
thing else. We have gold, copper
and iron plenty in our county, if we
only had the means of developing
them. And we have no doubt, that
the day is not far distant, when they
will be satisfactorily developed and
large fortunes realized from them.
The following items are from
the Rockmart News:
W e regret to learn that Mr. Mc
bee, of Van Wert, lost a very fine
horse on last Snnday. It was sup
posed to be lung fever.
Mr. G. IF. Peacock, of Taylorsville,
lost a fine mule last Sunday night,
from colic. He went to Carters
ville Monday and replaced it.
WE regret to learn that our worthy
townsman, Colonel Seaborn Jones
met with a serious accident on last
Saturday by getting one of his feet
sprained so badly that he cannot gel
about without, the use of crutches.
We did not le*ni how the accident
occurred.
Personal.
Cr' :■ '•
We had a calf on last Tuesday
evening from our worthy Superin
tendent, Mr. Peacock, of the Chero
kee Railroad, and Mr. Hall, the
celebrated saw mill man. Mr. Pea
cock visited our town for the pur
pose of making arrangements for the
continuance of the railroad out a
few miles into the pine belt of tern
ber, and has made arrangements, we
understand, for the work to be done
immediately. Mr. Peacock jr a
skillful financier and a good railroad
man.
Mr. Hall, we learn, is an expe
rienced saw mill man, and is going
to build an extensive mill out a mile
or two from town, and on the route
selected by the railroad, thereby
giving the business ample and con
venient transportation. We hope
that success may attend them' in
their enterprises.
Civil Rights.
The South to-day is passing
through the most trying ordeal, to
which she has ever been subjected.
The indignities that have been heap
ed upon her, caped with this last
crowning act of jnfamy, has sank
deep into her soul, and' well nigh
burst the barriers of her forbearance.
The insults put upon Poland,
whom the Czar, with one stroke of
his pen blotted from the map of na
tions, are small,' when compared to
this deep, damning infamy, which
has flowed ujxm the South from this
corrupt body of the Republican
party.
It behooves us as a brave and
high-toned people, to meet the issue
calmly but firmly, and try, by all
peaceable means in our power, to
convince the negro of the utter im
possibility of bis ever obtaining
those rights, which God intended he
never should possess. Let us not
act rashly or indiscreetly, bat if they
will force us before the last tribunal,
let them accept its final decision.
ANOTHER FIRE!

INSURANCE LlGHT
[Reported for The Record.]
Ateanta, March 17, 1875.
Last night a Ore started in Jack’s
bakery establishment, which has re
sulted in the most serious conflagra
tion that we have had in our city for
years.
The file was discovered by a com
positor in the Constitution office,
who saw the blaze reflected upon the
windows of the building occupied by
Mr. G. W. Jack.
The fire had gained such headway
before it was discovered, that it was
almost impossible to get control of
it.
The fire department worked like
beavers.
After two hours of hard work, our
gallant firemen had the flames safely
under control.
Much valuable properly has been
lost, far more than can be estimated
at the present writing.
The streets were thronged with
men and women, and in some places
almost blockaded.
The police were out in full force,
and rendered inestimable service.
The building occupied by G. W.
Jack belonged to Mr. Chisolm, and
was a total loss.
The building occupied by Faul
Jones belonged to M. C. Blanchard-
Mr. Blanchard’s insurance office was
up stairs.
The bailding that George Sharpe,
Jr., an 4 the O. K. clothing house oc
cupied, belonged to E. E. Rawson.
Smith & Motes, photographers, oc
cupied the up stairs.
The loss of the buildings is some
SIOO,OOO or $125,000.
G. W. Jack’s loss is about $50,-
000; insurance SIO,OOO.
Paul Jones had a full stock. His
loss by fire and stealage is heavy,
and not fully ascertained.
George Sharpe had some $50,000
of stock; partially insured.
He saved nearly all his jewelry
and diamonds. His machinery for
mannfactnring jewelry, up stairs, is
a total loss, and not covered by in
surance.
The O. K. clothing store had a
small insurance. Amount of damage
not known.
Smith & Motes loss between $5,-
000 and $6,000; insurance $2,500.
Mr. Von Stavorin, portrait paint
er, lost all his effects; no insurance.
There were several accidents. Two
firemen of the mechanic's company
narrowly escaped cremation by the
falling in of a pair of stairs.
There was a heavy amount of
stealage carried on.
One aged gentleman hearing that
it was near his store, domed a neck
tie and rushed to the scene. Qy.
A barrel factory, to meet the de
mands of the turpentine business, is
wanted in Brunswick..

A CfriLRIGHTS CASE.
Wilmington, March 9, 1875.
The first case here under the civil
rights bill caffii* np before United
States Commissioner £. H. Mc-
Guigg, to-day. A negro named
Francis Holmes bad W. H. Gerden,
a saloon keeper, arrested for refus

ground that the civil rights bill did
not apply to bar rooms.
ENGLAND PREPARING FOR WAR.
Calcutta, March 9, via London.
The Englishman, a newspaper,
says it is rumored that orders have
been received by the Indian govern
ment from England to hold all the
regiments in India in immediate
readiness for active service. The
Englishman supposes such orders to
point to the possibility of war on a
large scale, not in India bat In Eu

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Concord, March 12, 1875.
The returns are incomplete. The
republicans claim 17 majority in the
house. The democrats have a ma
jority in the council, which will pre
vent removals from office. The
democrats carry the Ist and 2d dis
tricts, republicans carry the 3d. The
democrats gain one congressman.
The following we clip from the
Atlanta News, which clearly shows
that the charges against Treasurer
Jones were false and uncalled for :
Tlic Afldrexs of Treasurer
Jones.
We publish this morning the text
of Treasurer Jones’ address to the
people of Georgia. It is a calmly
written but forcible document, and
cannot fail to make a favorable im
pression everywhere. The Treasur
er shows very clearly that the Fi
nance Committee not only failed to
make the thorough investigation due
him, but that they even refused to
allow him credits in cases where the
vouchers were indorsed by the Gov
ernor himself. He called attention
to the fact that in their report they
stated that be had paid warrants
signed by Bullock ; whereas he had
never paid a single one signed by
that individual. The warrants allu
ded to were signed by Gov. Conley,
and as they were correct and proper,
Gov. Smith ordered them paid.
Neither the fact that thej- were not
signed by Bullock, nor the other
fact that they were indorsed by oar
present Governor, were stated by
the committee in their second report.
True, they granted the credits claim
ed, because they could not well avoid
doing this ; but they were not wil
ling to do Treasurer Jones justice.
In the light of this address it looks
very much as if the purpose was from
l the beginning to make a sensation
1 even at the sacrifice of justice- If
I the committee had discovered some
! thing more than a mare’s nest, they
! would have proceeded to work calm
| ly, slowly and deliberately, before
making any report at all; but they
rushed hap-hazard to conclusions,
and wound up by putting through
resolutions which either do the
Treasurer a grievous wrong or con
vict the Legislature of adjourning
and leaving the finances of the State
in the hands of a man not competent
to manage them
As long as there was a possibility
of the committee reporting a deficit
we abstained from commeht. or from
expressing any opinion other than
that of faith in the ’treasurer’s in
tegrity. Kow, however, that the
Legislature has adjourned, after pas
sing a wretched resolution of censure,
without being able to tell what it has
censured the Treasurer for, we are
unable to discover ib what part ol
the report of the committee is there
any charge of wroug doing. We be
lieve that Captain Jones is accused
of having kept his accounts careless-,
ly, but that certainly was not offense
enough for the scandal which has
arisen and for the effort to l.reak him
down.
Immediately after the first report;
was submitted, it was rumored about
town that tnere was some Governor
making in this investigation.
Whether or not this was true, the
reader must determine for himself.
Certainly the committee emitted a
vast amount of smoke from a most
ridiculously small quantity of fire.
