Fogartys on the River Manatee. Flordia, Feb. 16, 1891. Editor Democrat. You requested me to write you before leaving home, so below I give you a of things generally. Our trip from Cincinnati, Ohio, over the Queen & Crescent to Chattanooga was a dreary one, it having rained all the way down and we had but little opportunity to gee much of the country, therefore can give you but a meager discription of it. There is quite a nice country between a point south ot the Ohio ,river and say forty or fifty miles north of the north line ot Tennessee, what is generally known as the Blue Grass region, but I was disappointed in not finding a better class of buildings on the farms, but as the railroad has only been built comparatively a few years it is barely possible that the best improvements are along older roads or adja cent to the pikes. From Somerset, Ky., to Chattanooga the country is very moun tainous and but few improvements worthy of note, the villages are small and unimportant. I After our arrival at Chattanooga we went directly to our hotel as it was rain ing, and did not attempt to go out till the next morning at 10 o'clock when we took the electric street cars and went out to the base of Lookout Mountain and then < got into the cable cars which took us one half the way up and then changed to the steam cars which lifted us up above the clouds, the summit of the mountain, and about the time we arrived there the clouds broke away and gave us an opportunity to seethe beautiful sights to be seen, the river, the valley and one of the most thrilling things we have been enabled to see so far—the famous battle field of Lookout Mountain and 5n the distance Missionary Ridge with a beautiful view of the city and the National cemetery. I have not the time or ability to describe these things as they should be, but I can say it repays any one to visit this one point of interest. Chattanooga has the reputation of being 'h. good business town, but I declare it was, at the time we were there, certainly one of the muddiest places I ever visited, Decatur not excepted, and that is hard to beat. We left Chattanooga that evening and passed over the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad on our way to Atlanta, where we arrived the same night. The next day we took that place in, visiting all points of interest, and I can truly say that Atlanta is the best town I have ever seen in the south, New Orleans not excepted. They claim a population of 85 000, and it is certainly one of the liveliest places I have seen for some time—with energetic, persevering and ppm bpsi- | R?s& ihpn jo pipsh jts interests a|ong'. Thpy jutye a vpry state hpyse cpstjng 1 one million dollars which is an 1 to the city and statp. Thpiy qjhpr mibjfc t | building, as fiuqne; 5 Socks | Mfid #re altogether en—' Wfiki you see in «•- • to — oest northern cities After spending one day there we shipped for Jacksonville, Florida, where we spent several days in looking around. But as I was not particularly’ struck with the place will pass without much comment. The city has a population ot eighteen to twenty thousand. It is on the St. Johns river about twenty miles from where it empties into the Atlanta and at one time was an important place and still is the, largest city in Florida and perhaps does more business than any other town tn the state, but I did not like it. < Any person can see all he wants to there in about three hours. With the-exception of two or three streets there is not much there except sand and that can be said of all the towns and cities in the Peninsula states. After leaving Jacksonville we took steamer and went up the river to Palatka and from there to St. Augustine, which is the best and finest resort, in my estimation, in the south. You know it is the oldest city in the country and has many places of interest, notably, the old Spanish tort. There is quite a number of old resi" dences standing yet that are hundreds of years old and with the narrow streets is one of the quaintest old fashioned places I have ever seen. Aside from that they now have quite a number of the best and one of the finest hotels in the United States—the Ponce DeLeon —which cost Mr. Flagler, the owner, about three million dollars to construct and furnish. The building is magnificently fitted up and the grounds a perfect dream. , We returned from St. Augustine, to Palatka and went from there to Sanford but did* not remain very long at either place as we were all very much disap pointed in those places, as we were led to believe from what we read of them that they were important places, so will not “ take up your time by a description. From Sanford we went to Tampa and remained there about five days altogether. Tampa is ofi Tampa Bay, properly speak ing, Hillsborough Bay, and has a population of about iß,ooo and I presume will some da/ be an important city and port of

1 entry, as they anticipate that the governI ment will before long make large appropriations to deepen the harbor; but as it is not a very prepossing place to me—too much sand. They recently opened a very large and costly hotel, ot which you have read I presume and it really is very handsome. We came here several days ago and expect to remain till we leave for home. We are on the Manatariver about forty miles south of Tampa and I think in one of the best parts ot Florida. The river puts into Tampa Bay about seven miles below here and ought properly to be a bay as it is over one and a quarter miles wide at this point. Both sides of the river is highly cultivated both for fruit raising as well as for vegetables. Now speaking of fruit, they do raise plenty of all kinds in this state and that it is good. We can reach from the veranda of the house we are stopping at and pull the best and sweetest of oranges and the family we are with have plenty of all kinds of vegetables. Fishing is elegant and we have caught plenty of sheefl heads, Spanish mackrel, Jack fish, red snapper and various other varieties. I gbt a sheep head yesterday that weighed six pounds and had another that would have weighed twelve pounds, but it broke my line, taking it and itself off to the briny deep. Now will give you my opinion in a few words as possible of the country through which we passed. From Cincinnati we passed through what is known as the Blue Grass country in Kentucky, and it is very fine. Alter that through hill and mountain country jn Tennessee and Georgia, but as , we approached southern Georgia the land is better adapted for farming and J believe they raise good cotton and some corn with but little wheat, although I saw some very good near Rome. Further down the land grows lower and when we enter Florida it is very flat and sandy, probably well adapted for the raising of fruit and vege tables, but not good for grain. The soil through Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia is of red clay, but is strong and adapted to the raising of the kinds of crops for which each state is famous. The people throughout the different states we have passed through apparently treat strangers with respect and kindness and generally with cordiality.* And we cannot complain so far and I give them ' credft with treating us with civilty on all occasions, , We left Judge Studabaker at Tampa last Friday, he thinking this part of the state too damp for the rheumatism, and as he wanted to go north further on his return home with the intention of getting back to Decatur by March Ist, and as we desired to remain in the south till about ' March 15th we concluded to part company, but with much regret. The Judge intends to go tp Jacksonville and 'J'hon)a§ville, Georgia, faking in some of the in ' terlor towns, timing himself tp reach home as above indicated. The weather has been very warm ever since we reached thk ' state—7s to 90 degrees, ,R.B. A Will Be Given Awgy Our entero, W .

Female Suffrage. Editor Democrat:—We fully concur with Mrs. Holloway in her last article in your paper, wheiein she says tfeat the above subject ought to be discussed in our local papers, pro and con, both sides, and that the right ought to prevail. While we may misunderstand the arguments of the lady, allow us to assure her that we have no purpose or interest in misrepresenting her, and her thrust at us, but reminds us of the old proverb: “A wounded bird will flutter.” She says, "the writer certainly agrees with the bible statement, that in a true marriage, the husband and wife are one.” Our theory, and we think the lady by this declaration consents and acknowledges the theory stated by us in our article, that husband and wife are one. That all the property owned by either or both of them is represented by the ballot cast by tlfe man, but the bird flutters terribly when it attempts to show that we advocated the theory that the man was that one, on the contrary, we said and desired to be understood to say, that it took both to constitute that one—and illustrated the thought with the declaration that all the property owned by either or both was a common property, that they owned it in entirety so long as they both lived, and upon the death of one the survivor was entitled to all of it, and we maintain that if husband and wife are one, that to enfranchise the female would be to give a married man two votes while the unmarried man would have but one, which would be unjust to the unmarried man. Again she says, that if we read the whole of the 14th chapter of Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians, and the nth chapter of the same book upto the 23rd verse, that we would see that Paul was talking locally and not general, that his writings upon this subject only alluded to the Corinthian women, not to the Decatur women. You will certainly agree with me it any part of any paragraph is addressed to all, that all of the same paragraph is in the 33rd verse of the I4tfi chapter of first Corinthians, the verse immediately precedino' £ .your quotation. Paul says, “For God is not the author of confession, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. My dear sister does that address itselt to us, is it applicable to us? I had 4 lady onep make that quotation tp me, and one that believes in the individuality of the sexes, and one that is in favor of the female suffrage plank, in opposition to shouting, and when I read her the two following verses she was mad enough to spit camphire. The one was true, the other false, while they were a part of the same paragraph. In the i6th verse of the nth chapter of Paul first to the Corinthians reads: “But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom neither the church ot God”, was this intended tor the men of the Corinthian church and not for the men of the church of to-day. If this was written for the Corinthians alone, then it may be fight tp have cqntention in oqr churchps in Decatyr., What shall we do? Throw away all of Paul's writings, or a part of them, we submit that if any of them are true and are for our use and good, then all are true, we are writing to construe altogether and try and get a knowledge of what the author meant when he penned these declarations, and we submit, that when we construe them wjth the liistory qf creatjqn, wjth the declaration of Christ wfiep, on parth, therp i$ no difficulty, if wp eliminate Rayl's writings from the bible, wfigt wj|| the UftGonverst'”*’-' do for a t«*t to '• buri'*'’ - •” -.ots — mat we must be with Christ in baptism, what will Our calvinestic friends do to prove ftfrever destructive and predistructive. What will our Methodist friends do to prove inspiration of faith alone, and what will our friend that believes in the final preservance of the soul? It seems to me to •Uite haul’s teachings out of the bible, would require a reorganization of all our churches. The lady says that she believes the bible, but she wants to get its true meaning, this is certainly right, but if get ting at the true meaning we have to denv its authority, deny its appreciation, because forsooth we cannot maintain our past theories without its destruction, then I submit that we are adding to or taking from the scripture. We have sympathy, yea pity, for the person that denies the existence of a God and the divinity of the scripture, for we read in the word of God that the fool hath said in his heart there *is no God, but what can we say for those who say they believe and in order to sustain their own theories destroy a part ot it. It looks to me a good deal like a man talking ip favor of prohibition and then voting one of the old party tickets—a little inconsistent at least. *We submit that the subject of female suffrage must be settled upon the ques tion of the individuality of the sexes as man and wife are one, then they should have one vote, if two, they should have two votes, but your correspondent says that there are a great many persons that are not married that are taxed without representation—this perhaps is true. We submit that the natural condition of the sexes is in marriage, we are commanded to multiply and replenish the earth. The rule is to marry, the exception is to not marry. We have a principle in our Republican government grafted into our federal and state constitution, that declares that thd law-making power shalknot make any law that will grant any privilege or immunity to any one citizen or class of citizens that all alike do not possess, hence I don’t know how to help the old maids out of their trouble. Well, we will compromise that question with you by disfranchising the old bachelor. I don’t know but one thing that either of them is fit for and that is to be an aunt or uncle to some orphan child. - '■> Your corresoondent says that every home in states where where women are are not permitted to vote is not a heaven on earth—granted, what is the reason that all homes are not what they at least should be? Let me ask It it is not a fact, that too much individuality causes much of the misery, not of one alone, but of both husband and wife, they each and ■ r\ • ' '^o' •

both insist in having their own way—hence there is trouble—hell instead of r heaven on earth. Let us tp illustate this 1 principle of individuality, suppose a case ! thus: A husband belongs to one church, behev es it is right, his wife belongs I to another, she believes it right, thev are • both anxious for the salvation of their • children. The husband thinks his is the ; right church the wife thinks the same of hers. The husband works to get thei r children in the church with him, the wif works to get them with her, the husband invites the church to hold frequent socials at their house, the wile objects, she wants her church socials held at their home, but refuses to have his, the husband wants to attend the socials ot his own church, but the wife objects to his spending his monev in that way, she wants to attend the socials of her church and spt nd their money there, the husband objects. What would such a home be a heaven or a hell; this represents the individuality theory of the sexes in married life. Now let us draw another illustration from the bible theory, from the Paul theory, if you so please to call it A husband and wife talk over their religious connections between themselves, agree if they can, if they can’t the wife submits to the husband’s judgment, they both belong to the same church, they hring up their children in the nature and the admonition of the Lord.

Vol. Infantry, Decatur braves, that “Old Bill the Wild Man” still lives, wideawake, full of flees and kicking around like a half sled in a tater hole. There is Cap Hill, Capt. Patterson, Lieut. Wisner and all the old comrades that I would like to see and meet with at their great reunions and talk about times past and gone down in “Old Dixie Land.” It makes my heart ache when I think of our many troubles and trials, and also the hardships we had to endure. I would love to see them all and have a good chat. If the old 89th have a reunion this fall and I can hear of day and date I will be there if I keep my heels and stomache, and don’t you forget it. Mr. Editor would you be so kind as to send me a copy of your paper, I would Ike to see the news from my old home. . f - Yours with Respect, Wm. Danner. The Medical Profession. The attitude of the medical profession toward what is known as “patent medi' cines” is not at all unreasonable. Thousands of these nostrums are offered to the public every year. Some of them are dan - gerous, and most of them are futile. Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.), we are all glad to say, is not classed among these nostrums. It has overcome the wholesome prejudices : of physicians in all parts of the country, and some of the strongest testimonials in its behalf come from medical men who have used it in their practice, and who do not hesitate to endorse its wonderful re- > suits. This is extremely gratifying, but by no means astonishing, for every claim that is put forward in behalf of S. S. S. is ; based on a series of actual experiments ex- , tended over a long period of time. ' Children Cry for 1 Pltoher’e ©aatorla. * ■’ ' : J ' ■ *
