TALK FROM TALBOT.

Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Talbot County, Ga., August 16.—The
weather is extremely warm and dry in
many sections of this county. Cotton,
peas, sugar cano and potatoes have already
been seriously cut off by reason of the
drought, and unless it rains soon the dam
age will be great. Our farmers are taking
advantage of the dry weather in saving the
beet fodder in many years. Last Saturday
we had the pleasure of attending a picnic
at Centreville academy in this county. It
was one of those gatherings where all
classes come together with the sole object
of one day of unalloyed pleasure.
One of the largest crowds we have seen
in a long time met upon this occasion and
passed the time in the forenoon in social
intercourse and handshaking, each one
vieing to excel iD hearty congratulations
and good will to all. Candidates for the
various county offices were there in full
force, importuning the dear people not to
iorget them on the day of “ballot sling
ing.” Mumford, the heavy-weight of the
Hew Era, and Baldwin, the light-weight
of the Enquirer-Sun, were smiling and
shaking hands in the interest of the press.
At 12 o’clock dinner was announced, and
on repairing to a shady dell near by
there we beheld a table stretched to an im
mense length and loaded with home-raised
boiled ham, roast beef, mutton, pork and
kid, two-story chicken pies and flanked on
All sides by pound cake, sponge cake, jelly
cake, fruit cake, with such condiments as
pure ice water an(#’ ice cold lemonade.
We were escorted near by to our friends
Mumford and R. H. Turner, and after re
peated charges upon the many good
things for the inner man we were forced
to retire, leaving our friends masters of the
situation.
As has been announced through the
papers, the Fourth Georgia regiment of
the confederate army will meet at Talbot-
ton on Wednesday, the 25th instant, in
their annual reunion. Much interest is
manifested by the resident members of this
old regiment, that are scattered in various
parts of the county, and every arrange
ment that will add interest to the occasion
will be made to insure a good time to those
who come from a distance to meet their
old comrades in arms, and to talk of the
many hair-breadth escapes, and deeds of
valor that were won upon the tented field
in the days that tried men’s souls.
A LETTER FROM DELTA.
-4 Good Woman (lone—Agricultural and Society
, Items—The Candidates.
Delta, Macon County, Ga., August 16.—
On Monday night last, Mrs. J. W. Harp
Quietly and peacefully breathed her last at
the residence of her brother-in-law, Mr.
W. D. Harp. She had been confined to
her bed about three months. Every want
and wish of hers was gratified by those
loved ones who surrounded her. Her phy
sician’s skill was exhausted in the attempt
to stray the fever which wasted her form
away—for “He who doeth all hings well”
had decreed that she should join the
throng of loved ones gone before, and for
the execution of this decree, angels played
upon the zephyrs around, awaiting the
time ready to transport her gentle spirit to
the mystic shores of the eternal beyond.
This dispensation of Providence is ren
dered doubly painful when we remember
the little girls deprived of the watchful
. care and gentle influence of mother. May
“He who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb” be to these little ones, a mother
through all the storms and wintry blasts of
life.
Dr. McCleneluin and wife were unex
pectedly called from here to their home in
Texas a few days since to attend a sick
child. Mrs. McC. is a sister of our fellow-
townsman, Jlr. II. Clay Corbin.
Mrs. E. JI. Johnson and children, to
gether with Miss Della Johnson, all ot
Columbus, are in the neighborhood visit
ing the family of their uncle, Mr. W 1 • L.
Ogburn. No doubt Mrs. Johnson s visit
will be pleasant, visiting the hopie of Mr.
Johnson’s childhood.
Mrs. S. A. Carson will spend some time
near Delta. Mrs. Carson is the wife of
your new solicitor general, Albert A. Car-
son, who also was raised here. He lived
here until he commenced the practice ot
law. Delta is proud of and rejoices at the
success of her distinguished son.
Miss Auna Ogburn has just returned
from an extended visit to Crawford county
among friends and relatives. ,
Miss Emmie Hicks, who has been visit
ing in Butler for the past two weeks, lias
returned, accompanied by Miss Florence
Hines, who will spend some time with her
and other young lady friends in the neigh
borhood.
Messrs. Harp & Harp have a bale of new
cotton ready for the gin. This is the first
bale of the season from this section.
Messrs. Harp are young, energetic, pro
gressive farmers, and are always among
the first with their farm products in the
market. _ , . „
The fodder crop has been gathered in a
nice condition—no rains to damage it.

CHICAGO COUNTS THE COST.
1 In 1 Expenses far Trying tile Anarelilsls Amount to
8-o.DOO—lion tin- l.nnre Hill Has Hern Hun I |,
-The Separate Hems Wlilrli Moke the Total So
Chicago, August 17.—The cost of trying
tut- anarchists will ben heavy tax upon tin
-'oiiiity. The extraordinary expenses cmi
easily be computed. The court summoned
eleven hundred men for jurv service who
were paid |2 per day for their attendance,
and who drew an average of .£1.50 each!
This bill is #-1750. Tim jurv fees will
amount to a total of #1160. The hotel bili
for the jurors will be about #1200. Bailiiis
in attendance upon the jury during the
sixty davs of the trial have in-
eurred an additional board bill of
;350. Six of the prisoners have
been confined in the county jail since Mav
i) at a cost oi thirty cents per day, and Par
sons has boarded there since June 21. This
expense is #211 to Friday. Whether the
jury convicts or disagrees, this item will
be still lurther increased. The cost ofem-
ploying a special baliff to summon the
talesmen is about #100. A draughtsman
was employed for over a mouth in making
surveys and drawing the plans used in the
trial at an expense of #150. Two inter
preters have cost nbout #150, and since the
testimony began the stnte has employed
an extra stenographer at, #10 a dav and
has been to a daily expense of #20 in tele
graphing, the boarding of witnesses and
other small items. This adds at least
#1,000 to the bill.
Mr. George Ingham has been employed
to assist the state at a cost of #2500. His
compensation is said to be #50 a day. The
expense for witnesses has been small. Only
those who come from outside the county
receive fees, anil they have been few iii
number. The fees and transportation of
witnesses and the extra expenses incurred
by Captain Schaack and bis detectives for
car fare, boarding, witnesses, and giving
small sums to Waller, Seliger and other in
formers, will be covered by #500. Mr.
Furthman and several detectives have in
curred expense bills in trips to Omaha,
Grand Rapids and other towns amounting
to about #150. These items cover pretty
nearly all the especial expenses of the trial,
and tlieir total is #13,020.
Judge Gary’s salary is #3500 pa- year, or
#583 during the two months of the trial.
States Attorney Grinnell and three assist
ants have been busy for about three
months, and during that time their com
bined salaries amount to #3225. Stenogra
pher Purcell during the same time drew
#450. The salaries of two clerks of the
court must be included. The court record
writer will be occupied three months at a
salary of #450, and the court clerk two
months at #220.
About eighteen bailiffs have been assign
ed to duty on the case to watch the pris
oners and the jurors, and to guard the
court room doors. They receive #1200 per
year, and have been on duty In this case
two months. Their bill is #3600. There is,
moreover, a chief bailiff at #1500 per year,
and two watchmen at #1000 a year. Their
wages for two months is #583.
For over three months Captain Schaack
and some twenty detectives have given
most of their time and attention to this
case. It is impossible accurately to esti
mate the proportion of their salaries
chargeable to the trial expense, but it is
safe to say that this item ought to add
*2000 to the account. Their total salaries
for three months would be #6450. For a
month six policemen have been assigned
to duty at the criminal court building, and
their pay for that time is #500. These are
about all the regular expenses, not in
cluding the cost of caring lor the court
room and cleaning and lighting it. This,
however, is trivial. These regular items
amount to #11,700. Added to the especial
expense, and allowing for numerous small
items, which cannot be got at just now,
the total cost of the trial up to August ap
pears to be about $25,000. Some of the
ofllcials think the account will reach #30,-
000.
DR. WAMBOLDT S CASE.
IIP Ifi'xlitnitiliin Hi'niitl) iVllilm'il the First
ltii|itiat Church 1o lie CoiiNlilcrcO To-Maht.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Aaugust 18.—A
meeting of the members of the First Bap
tist church will be held to-night for the
purpose of acting upon the resignation 6i
Rev. Dr. Wamboldt, tendered two weeks
ago. As is pel-imps well known Dr. Warn-
joldt’s resignation is not offered because
of a desire on his part to leave his pres
ent pastorate, but in order that the will
if his charge muy thUb be fully expresses
regarding him, iii the light of recent pub
lications reflecting upon iiis character. In
j tendering his resignation he stated
j .his much, and further that
i he had no desire by this means
| to shirk investigation, or sneak out before
i the fire of his accusers, lie maintains his
innocence, and declares Iii-. purpose to
: prove to tno satisfaction of all lair-minded
"ineu the groundlessness and malignity of
these charges. It is understood tlnd Dr.
, iVambolot will make a statement to-night
| before hit, church touching these matters,
1 ami explaining fully the "divorce matter,
1 which is apparently the only authenticated
charge. He. it seems, states now and mis
j always stated that his first wJfe was alive
when he again married, but that a legs!
i divorce hud been obtained, which did not
I at all criminate or reflect upon him.
I He is a man of brilliant parts, most un-
| douhtcdly. and Unit “evil report’' should
clog Ills progress in his chosen piofession,
for which his talent is so decided, is a mat-
j ler orgreat regret. However, many letters
I have been received from nil over the land,
wherever be has served, lull of praise ol
him and claiming that he is the victim ol
cruel circumstances and the unrelenting
hounding of unscrupulous enmity.
If Biich be the cose, it is earnestly to be
hoped that he will be able so to show, and
thus vindicate his own reputation and re
lieve tlie Christian ministry of any stain.
Whatever action the church may take
to-night in the matter will be fully re
ported in the Times. Interviews were held
yesterday with several leading members of
the church, and the sentiment prevailed
tliut the reverend gentleman will be sus
tained by a majority, at least, of liis con
gregation, and that he will be asked to
withdraw his resignation.
The Maxima I’nrilimtiiB I’liner.
Washington, August 18.—The suppo
sition that the delay in action upon the
Cutting ease is to give President Diaz time
to exercise the pardoning power as the
only means by which the federal authority
can' be exerted is ridiculed by a gcutiemau
resident in Washington who is familiar
with the Mexican law. His explanation
of the situation is interesting and seems to
justify his view. “The authorities of Chi
huahua,” said he, “claim Cutting has been
regularly tried, convicted and sentenced
to prison at hard labor for one year. Under
the constitution of Mexico he must serve
at least two-fifths of his sentence
before President Diaz can legally
pardon him. Two-fifths of one year
is 146 days. He was sentenced August 7th
and he must remain in prison until Janu
ary 1st, 1887. The Mexican federal consti
tution does not invest the president with
discretionary pardoning power. On the
contrary, it restricts him by providing that
a pardon can only be granted in accord
ance with the law bearing upon the case.
This is to be found in section 287 of the
penal code of the federal district of Mexico,
which provides first, that a prisoner shall
have served two-fifths of his sentence, and
that during the term of his imprisonment
he shall have preserved a good conduct be.

and are becoming somewhat despondent.
Our section, as usual, has been compara

The Chicago Anarchist*.
Chicago, August IS.—In the court to-dav
for the trial of the anarchists Major Black
completed his argument for the defense,
and was followed by State’s Attorney Grin-
nell, and as usual the court room was
densely packed. Grinnell will conclude
his argument to-morrow.
Chicago, August 18.—Chinese sporting
circles have been greatly exercised over
the outcome of a cockroach tournament
which has been going on in the basement
of a downtown laundry and at a Chinese
club house for the last three nights. It is
the first tournament ever held east of the
Pacific coast. It has been engineered and
conducted by a party of Chinese sports,
which left SanFrancisco three weeks ago,
with nearly fifty trained cockroaches.
Last night it was reported that the San
Francisco party had left for New York,
having won several thousand dollars from
the local Chinese betting men. The San
Francisco Chinamen who came
here were informed before they
started that there were a large
number of their countrymen who would
enjoy and liberally patronize a tourna
ment. In Chinatown, at San Francisco,
an old Chinaman has long conducted a
Chinese shoe shop, and in odd hours main
tained a large number of fighting cock
roaches. He was ordered to prepare fifty
of his ablest fighters, which he at once did,
delivering them in a wicker basket made
especially for the purpose. In this basket
were nearly a hundred cells, in which each
ronoh was kept separate from his com
panions. The C‘*lestial sports arrived here
with their animals without mishap last
Monday. Iu two hours it was known to
every Chinaman in this city that the
tournament would begin Wednesday night.
About 11 o'clock the tournament was
opened, a featherweight tighter being
matched against a middleweight cock
roach. Before the insects were pitted
against each other they were handled
by Quong, a Chinaman who had some ex
perience in this line in China. With a
minute pair of scissors he clipped their
wings, and then, just before facing them,
greased their bodies with salve. This is
done to prevent the insects catching one
another, as they will not touch the greased
portions of each other’s bodies. At a sig
nal two champions were dropped into the
pit. This was a large urn, shaped liki^ a
punch bowl and greased on the edges. The
first fight was one of the bust of the whole
tournament. No sooner were the two
fighting roaches dropped into the bowl
than they sprang at each other with the
fierceness of Dull dogs breasting. Just
eleven minutes after the tight began the
big roach was dead. When he died, how
ever, lie mortally wounded his slayer. In
tlie last struggle, and despite the pain
caused by the effort, he turned in
such a manner that his left foreleg was
pulled from its socket, but in so doing
lie caught his adversary by the tiiroat. Tic
next instant he died,covered with wounds,
while the liitie victor staggered off with a
terrible out in his throat. Light battles
were fought the first night, it being 2
o’clock before the last battle was finished.
'J'lc betting was hea y and many of the
local men were winners. The next night
only four battles were got through with,
but they were all desperate contests, and
lasted an hour each. On the third night
there were eleven battles, aud when the
tournament concluded the San Francisco
Chinamen had nearly all the money of the
local sports.
It was reported last evening that the
Chinaman Quong, who handled the light
ing roaches, had played into tiie hands of
the visitors, and drugged some of the bugs.
The Power ofSong.
A minister named M. C., who has since-
passed into “inocuous desuetude” by fall
ing from grace, had a circuit in southern
Indiana. The horse he rode was a spirited
animal and would not let a blacksmith
shoe him. The preacher was a great re
vivalist and singer of revival songs—noted
for his “power of song,” in fact. A smith
in the county scat, the center of the circuit,
learning that the preacher’s horse would
not be shad, meeting the divine one day,
said: “If you’ll bring that horse to my
shop to-morrow and follow my in
structions I’ll shoe him all round,
and it won't cost you a cent.”
Accordingly the preacher was on time at
the smith s shop with his refractory steed,
and after the animal had been divested ol
saddle, blankets, and all but the bridle, the
smith said: “Now, hold your horse by the
reins, close to the bridle-bit, and sing one
Or your liveliest o, imp meeting songs, and
uid when that is ended strike up another,
and keep on singing until 1 finish shoeing
the horse.” The preacher obeyed, and to
the astonishment of all, the animal win
passive until the work was completed. A -
the blacksmith clinched the Inst nail In
dropped the atiiulul's font, exclaiming:
“There, I knew you could sing religion
into that horse.”—New Orleans 1'lcayunc
SUMMER CARE OF BABIES.
Him (r I’risoru' Their llcnltli During the llrt
Wrath r.
Babies often suffer intolerably in the hot
months, either from too much or too little
clothing. Wo remember one dear baby \\ e
; >nce saw clothed in a double woollen dress
ing gown and with woollen socks on It is
feet a hot July day. The drops of perspi
ration stood thickly over his little head,
and what wonder that he cried from slits r
discomfort? The little feet needed no
covering, and tlie woollen wrap should
have been replaced by a tDin cotton or
linen garment during the warm portion of
the day, the dressing gown being at hand
,i) slip oil as soon us the air grew io>!
it night. Underclothing pinned tightly
about us in warm weather would be insuf
ferable. Why should we suppose it is
any easier tor baby to endure it? Physi
cians are advising giving babies cold water
at least once an hour, or rather offering it
for tlieir acceptance. A bit of Ice pi cked
from a lump with a pin may be put on
baby's hot gums with good results, and
best perhaps of all when the little crea
tures grow peevish and fussy, when they
are a burden to themselves and everybody
else, is the plan adopted by wise mothers,
big sisters, and aunties, of partially un
dressing the little body, Wiping away Un
bent and dust with a soft, cool sponge or
cloth in a cool, shaded room, and with
pleasant, cheerful talk soothing away the
“tired” and coaxing the pilgrim to take a
na]> by the way. “Come now. you’ve got
to have a nap,” xvill rouse rebellion in
almost any baby soul, but to be inducted
into something nice before one knows it
all! bow we big folks enjoy it; and why
shouldn't Uic baby?
There is another than the hot side of the
baby question, however. It is the taking
cola. Cribs are left in draughts; baby is
left asleep in a room where windows are
open; the wind changes and nobody re
members the helpless tittle victim of our
caprices and thoughtlessness. There is a
case on record where a baby was forgotten
and left out on a piazza through a heavy
thunderstorm, but there are lew house's
where that could happen, lumpily. There
arc homes, however, where the baby really
suffers from lack of clothing. The infant
mortality in a mountain town, where there
was always a chill in the air night anil
morning, was something frightful. Long-
sleeved dresses (which most babies now
wear), with the feet and bowels kept
warm, might have saved some of these
precious lives. The babies’ illness took
the form of bowel trouble, sometimes the
result of a summer cold. There is nothing,
everybody knows, that will relieve a
stomach or bowel pain like a hot applica
tion. Indeed, some people who have a
tendency to such conmlaints are seldom
without their flannel bandage, and in ense
of any disturbance of the organs men
tioned know that the flannel hag with
smartweed and tansy quiltt d into its folds
will act ns a charm. Some physicians say •
everybody should wear flannel next to the
skin the year round. Others
say flannel should never touch
the skin. The truth will bo
found to lie between the two extremes.
Wear flannel when It is needed, leave it off
when It does harm. To be well, however,
a person must he warm. If not wnrmna
turally there is probably something
wrong in the person’s system, but until a
natural circulation and warmth can be
secured artificial means must be used. Of
one thing be sure, babies’ feet, arms and
bowels must be taken cure of, and the care
of the outer part of the stomach is quite as
important us attention to the inner wants,
In conclusion let us say no garment worn
during the day should he worn at night hy
old or young. Cleanliness, if not splendoi,
iB possible to all and is necessary to health.
