Objections to Temperance Work

"You confound The use with the
abuse OF liquors. Because some
persons abuse one Of Gods good

might as we'll say that as some peo
pie hy violent exercise In walking
become lamed. and so have to use
crutches, therefore all persons should
be restricted from walking"
The cases are dissimilarr the ar
gument implies is not sound. In the
first place, walking is the natural
aud universal method Of locomotion; /;
liquor drinking is an artificial habit,
and partial. In the second place,
walking Is necessary to the life and
progress OF the world. Without IL
all Communication would cease, and
mankind would die out. The
drinking OF liquor is not necessary
to the life OF the individual or Of the
nation; hundreds Of thousands Of
Anglo Saxons do without 1t, are hap
py, healthy aud prosperous; vast
portions OF mankind are ignorent Of
its use, and yet live and are progress

Thirdly, walking does not develop
tendency to excess and violence ol
exercise in the individual; does moi
stamp itself In vicious unrestrain'

quor drinking tends inevitably te

MONTGOMERY, ALA, April 2S.-
To-day will ever be memorable in
the history Of Alabama. Every 10
cality was represented and many ad-
jacens towns and villages poured
their entire population into the
streets OF this city. Al an carly
hour the sidewalks were so dcnsely
packed that locomotion was difficult
1t had rained all night and poured
down until 10 o'clock, so the houl
for delivering the addresses by Mr.
Davis and Gen. Gordon was changed
to 2 p. M, and instead OF going tt
the park it was decided to 90 to the
capitol grounds, and for the speech
es to be made from the very spol
where Mr.. Davis took the oath o.
Office as president of the Confeder
ate States. This change was made
because OF the muddy condition Of
the park.

books of his court into the Superior Court.
The grand jury can enter his Office and
investigate, but 1t cannot go into the
Police Court of Savannah and examine
its books.
just then Capt. Mercer paused while
j. r. saussy, Esq., who was sitting near,
whispered to him for a moment. Resum-
ing, Capt. Mercer said that as Mr.. Saussy
suggested, Justices of the Peace can be
required to bring their books into ting SUI
perIor Court only under a special statute.
The Supreme Court has said that the
carrying OF original records from one
court to another should be checked and
certified copies should be obtained.
NOT THE LAW.
Hon. p. W. MeldTim followed and dwelt
upon the point made by the Solicitor Cen
eral that the defendants should have an
swered at the previous term. Mr.. Mel
drim held that it as not the law.
The Solicitor General closed the argu-
ment by pressing the point that the wit
nesses should have appeared before the
Court in December and then objected TO
going before the grand jury. An allusion
TO Mr.. Saussy, as associate counsel Tor
the defense caused several soto yoce re-
marks, and the only bit OF lively repartee
during the argument.

A RELIC OF SLAVE DAYS.
Two Bases OF Cotton Raised in 1869 Pit
on the NJ arket.
FROM The Rock mn Is. o. Herald.

From The Rock HiU Is. o. Herald.
On Tuesday last Mr.. L. e. Guthrie, adj
ministrator on the estate of the late j.
Harry Williamson, of Betheeter town
ship, sold two bales of cotton in this mar
ket which was raised by slave labor on
MIR. Williamson's plantation in 1862,
nearly quarter of a century ago. On
account OF the war there was no satisfac-
tory market for cotton, and of the crop
raised that year Mr.. Williamson stored
several bales under the house that the
times might improve. After the war had
ended and Sherman's devastating march
through the South had sacked the coun-
try Of Its live stock, Mr.. Williamson
snapped three bales to the late d. r. 5.
Blake for a mule. The balance was re-
tanned. Afterwards Mr.. Williamson
brought samples TO Rock Hill, and Mr.. d.
q. ROddey, who was then in business
here, offered him 1873 cents per pound in
gold FOR 1t, but the otter was rejected and
the cotton still retained. AT that time
gold was at prem um of 30 per cent.
hence Mr.. ROddey's offer was equivalent
to 30 cents per pound in currency.
strangely enough, Mr.. Roddey's offer
was rejected. His death last fall found
it still unsold. Why be kept it so
long Is mystery that lies buried with
him.
The cotton was packed before iron ties
came inlo use and in the days when there
was no roping TO be bad. Hickory witbes
were used instead, and the original bind
ing still holds the bales firmly together,
and are in good state of preservation.
The lint is as good as in 1852 when the
crop was gathered, and classed middling.
The cotton was bought by Messrs. W. l..
Roddey 4 Co. at 50 cents per pound. A
remarkable circumstance is that on the
day it was finally sold the price was low
er than it had been since IL was grown.
Beyond doubt it is the Oldest cotton
in the world. At any rate it Is the only
cotton raised by Southern slave labor now
In existence.
