Beck Interviewed.

The Milton, (Ga.) Democrat has had
ON interview with Eugene w. Beck, the
man who murdered his wife and sister.
in law at Clayton short time ago, and
says:
"On last Tuesday, being at Gainesville,
~e obtained leave of Sheriff Gaines and
visited the cell of Eugene w. Beck the
murderer of Clayton.
We found him in good health. He
expressed himself pleased at our coming
to see him, and asked after the people of
this county. 1t will be remembered that
he was citizen of this County until one
year ago. He asked what the people
thought of his case and conduct. We
told him that they were surprised, grieved
and outraged in their feelings, and asked
him to give an account Of the terrible
tragedy. He gave us substantially the
following statement: II am here in Jail
without sympathy, and have committed
the worst crime ever committed in Geor-
gia. have killed the best friend ever
had-my wife-and an inoffensive good
girl who had never done me any injury
and ought to and will suffer death for
it.
We asked him if he remembered the
killing, and if he had contemplated it.
he said: II never had contemplated
killing them or even harmlng hair of
their heads, and if l had ten thousand
worlds l would give them all to restore
them to life. / have vague recollec-

Mexican Veterans.
From, the Daily, N. c., Advpnce.

Mr.. EDITOR AS Congress soon con.
yenes, l think it should be the duty of
every editor in the land to espouse the
cause of those old soldiers who fought
aud bled under the "Stars aud Stripes"
upon the bloody fields of Mexico. and by
their valor annexed to the United States
the richest country upon the globe.
Those veterans are now old and a large
majority of them are in INDECENT circum- :
stances and Congress should consider it
not only duty but 81 great pleasure, to
help these brave old men and make their
declining years safe from want by giving
them pension and dating it from their
discharge. There is over four hundred
million dollars in the Treasury, and is
there anything that would do moro good
or receive the commendation of larger
number of Americans than small por'
ton of this revenue given to those who
SO richly merit it? The tardiness of our
government in regard to this matter has
been q disgrace that it is 10 be hoped
will be wiped out by our next Congress.
Give them pension dating from their
discharge. They deserve it and the
people of all sections of the Union want
them to haze it. The amount would not
be missed from our overhowing Treasury
and would be a fortune to the recipients.

A corresnondent of the Megs an.

A correspondent of the Me,cs and
Courier, signing himself ~. T. Robert.
son, a colored Citizen" after commenting
on various things and different men
connected with the politics of South
Carolina, says lin some of the Counties
in the State the colored teachers are SUBJ
jected to all the partially and Insults
possible by the School Commissioners.
Especially is this the case in Greenvile
and Anderson Counties, but even the
white people have shown such men that
they are tired of them by calmly laying
them on the shelf and filling their places
with more conservative men," We are
surprised to see such statement find it's
way into print, for, so far as this County
is concerned, it is utterly unfounded.
The colofed teachers are given fair
competitive examination, and sta0d like
the white teachers on their merits.
Those who cannot pass the examinations,
regardless of color, are not permitted to
swindle the public by teaching school.
The consequence is, that our schools, for
both white and colored, have been great
ly improved. In addition to the educa.
tional test, our school boards have very
properly required good moral character
from those who would undertake to in
struct either white or colored children.
The matter of politics or color have not
been permitted TO control at all, and as a
proof of this we may cite the fact that
to-day there are several conspicuous
colored Republican politicians teaching
in the common schools of Anderson
County. The charges of partiality made
against Mr.. Todd are unfcunded. He
has been efficient, courteous and diligent,
aud will leave the Office with the respect,
goodwill and well-wishes OF all our
people; and we are satisfied that there
will be and ought to be no more conser.
vative administration of our common
school system than his has been.

The Mountain Cholera.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November 26.-The
Courier>Journal recently sent staff
correspondent to investigate the reported
ravages of the dread disease in Eastern
Kentucky and Western Virginia. The
correspondent sends the following from
Williamsburg, Ky:
w. G. Lester, prominent attorney of
this place, has just arrived from Mount
Pleasant, the County seat of Harlan,
where he has been for two weeks past ut
Court as acting prosecuting attorney.
Lester has information of the prcvailin 6
plague, principally from Harlan. Letch.
er, Perry, Leslie and Bell Counties. He
says that in Harlan it appears worst. 1t
is most fatal and prevails to the greatest
extent about the headquarters of Pear
Fork and Clover Greek in the mountains,
about twenty-five miles from Mount
Pleasant. This large territory is being
terribly afflicted. The people are dying
very rapidly. In one neighborhood
twelve persons died in single day in
the latter part of last week, and there
were scarcely we'll people enough to make
them cofins and bury them. On Browns
Creek, which rises in Harlan and emPties
into the Cumberland River in Bell
County, the disease is raging with fright
full fatality and there is no way Of keep.
ing record of the dead. All along the
banks of the stream the people are sick
and physicians and medicines, outside of
the herbs and roots with whose curative
properties the natives are acquainted, are
unknown and unobtainable. The epi-
demic is rapidly spreading in Harlan
County. In district covering the
Southern portion of Letcher and Perry,
the whole of Leslie and the Northwest
portion of Bell Counties, the plague has
obtained foothold, but the reports as to
its violence are very conflicting.
Lester thinks that the deaths run up
into the hundreds, while the number of
those attacked cannot be estimated. The
disease does not prevail at Mount Pleas.
ant. Lester further says that no one
seemed to know the exact nature OF the
pestilence. Most of the people called it
SFlux," and it is probably very aggra-
waited form of that disease. 1t begins
with gripping pains in the stomach, fol-
lowed by debilitating diarrhea and swell
ing of the throat, and if not fatal in
three or four days the patient, as rule,
RECEIVERS.
All reports agree as to the cause of
the epidemic, it being attributed to the
use of impure water by the natives.
The season has been unusually dry, the
streams, as a rule, consisting of harrow
threads of murky, foul smelling and foul
tasting water.
named above is good, and starvation and
want only exists because the people can
spare no time from the sick to gather it.
No mills are running on the smaller
streams. My informant had 20 news
except in general way Of the preva'
lence of the plague in Virginia or West
Virginia.

A We'll Known Attorney.

BRUNSWICK, GA, June 26, 1S84.-Editor
Constitution I desire to mako public,
through your columns, my experience
with a remedy which is made in your
city. In the early part of February last
after q three weeks visit North In inclem-
ent weather, I was attacked with inf1am.
matory rheumatism of severe type-my
first serious illness with the exception of
yellow fever in 1S76) in fourteen years.
When taken I was in robust health,
weighing 165 pounds, but somewhat worn
and weary with overwork. I was treated
first with acids, then with alkaline reme-
dies-each furnishing temporary partial
relief from pain, which returned with IN
creased severity at the slightest change in
the weather, and each new attack was
preceded by chill and followed by hot
lever. In three weeks my weight was
reduced to 13O pounds. l had no appetite
nor strength, and was growing weaker
each day. 1 continued changing nedi-
cines, and was finally advised by physi.
clans. after seven weeks of continued
treatment, that my only hope of speedy
Iecoyery was to visit the White Sulphur
Springs in Florida trip which business
and other considerations did not permit.
In the Savannah Neus l saw an article
from Major Sidney derDert, statiliS tiiao
lie had been relieved of rheumatism by
Swift's Specific, and I at once commenced
to take it. In three days began to I'M

disease and attending to business. MY
