SANDBAR FERRY.
Favorite DueIing Ground OF Georgia and
south Carolina Chivalry.

FaVorite Dueling Ground of Georgia and
south Carolina ChivaIry.
Il was down at Sandgar Ferry. the
famous dueling ground of two States,
yesterday" said a man from Augusta,
as he stood in the rotunda of the State
Capitol. talking about old times in
Georgia. and you would have been in
terested in the sight Sandbar Ferry
is the place where so many genuine
duels have been fought in the old days.
when the field of honor amounted TO
something more than a song without
an air [ CHANGED TO be there at the
invitation of well-knOwn citizen Of
Augusta. who knows the history Of
this famous spot of earth by heart and
who delights in that knowledge. We
drove out from the city OF Augusta
about four miles l suppose, right down
the river. through the vast plantation
of Colonel Phinizy.
The ferry is a picturesque place,
but l declare. il has a wild and lone
some appearance. Across the Savan-
nah River one sees a high cliff OF red
clay through which a muddy wagon
road ploughs it's way down to the
rivers bank. On this side the scene
is more attractive for there are trees
that shade the place for some distance
around. Violets are growing on the
banks of the river, which we may take
as evidence that the bloody days are
over and peace restored. There Will
never be another duel at Sandbar
Ferry: never. Dueling has played out
With advaupnd notions
But. goodness me. what times they
did use to have there. How many bril-
liant sons of Georgia and OF South
Carolina have gone to their graves
from bullet wounds at Sandbar Ferry.
How many hearts have been pierced
beneath those signing pines Ugh, /
! shuddered as l stood upon the battle
ground. for when the winds whispered
through the tops of those lofty pines it
ala sound like the kissing voices Of
ghosts.
aside from any spirit of Jest. have
never seen a more dreary place in all
INV life than is Sandbar Ferry, the
old dueling grOunds.-Atlanta Consti-

MANIA FOR REGULATING.
IL is Based Upon an Erroneous Idea as to
the Character of the People.

lt rs Based Upon an Erroneous Idea as to
the Character of the People.
Much, if not the greater part. of the
legislation attempted by law-making
bodies in our Congress. State Legisla-
lures and City Councils is of the kind
which grows out of the insane idea
that only a very small percentage of
the people know enough TO 90 in when
1t rains, and that laws should be
passed for the protection of somebody
or something. How many of the bills
now under consideration by the vari-
Gus Legislatures apologize for their
wOrthleSsnesS under the title A bill
for an act to better protect the public. -
etc? There is scarcely an industry in
the realm OF business is made the vic
tim of the cupidity or stupidity Of leg
islatOrs. There is never a session OF
the Legislature of any State but there
are repeated attempts to establish the
theory that all men are fools as we'll
as liars. and that the only way TO make
life safe and endurable is 10 surround
an men with restrictive aud sumptu-
ar Y laws which shall govern their
mode Of eating. drinking. and often
thinking
Anything that carries with il the
idea of inspecting something is at once
accepted by these self-constituted
guardians of the public as divinely in
spired. They affect to believe that
men. like children, are ever on the
alert 10 discover some new and more
pleasing form of self destruction. and
that the only way to prevent the pre-
mature determination of the human
race is by the authoritative formula
be it enacted
II these self-esteemed philanthro-
pists only knew il, the public is quite
as able to protect itself as it is to vote
fools into Office. II is the enactment of
such silly and useless measures as the
baking powder bills. the oleomar-
garine bills, the patent medicine bills
and kindred imbecilities that engen-
ders and develops that contempt for
the law which is so generally deplOred
