He was a son of Mr. Joseph Phipps, of this city, and a brother-in-law of Dr. Glass. He was a consistent member of the Baptist chuuch and an honorable and worthy young man, whose death is deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. His remains 'Will be interred at Smith Station this morning at 9:30 o’clock. Special to Enquirer-Sun. Butler, Oa , September 17.—About 4000 people assembled here from thisj and all the adjoining counties to witness the hanging of Jesse Cook, the negro wife murderer. The sheriff gave him the benefit of the last hour, and ordered the guards to meet at the court honse at 3 o’clock. They took charge of Jesse and carried him to the gallows. At 3:25 the trigger was pulled, and the body fell four feet. He died from strangula tion in twenty-five minutes. His body was turned over to his relatives. He made a talk, but never said one word con fessing his guilt. He safti he had by faithful prayer been made infinitely happy to meet the hour. He has evinced considerable nerve all the time, talking freely and pleasantly to all who called to see him. He says he obtained lauda num in Columbus, and showed me a two ounce bottle that he had used for neuralgia and to make him rest well. He did not wart to add self-murder to other sins, as he believed God would not forgive him. He was requested to make a confession as a warning to others. He replied that if the people would not believe Moses and the prophets and the life of Christ, they would not believe him. He has had a good appetite all the while, rested well last night aud eat his meals to-day. He asked them all to meet him in heaven. The law has been enforced, but many a person's sympathies were aroused, and doubtless the larger portion of the crowd will never witness another hanging. He was hung in sight of where the murder was committed, and in ten steps of where Smart Bass was hung soon after the war for killing Conductor Cozari. SECOND BAPTIST CIIIKCH. Rev. J. IV. Howard I’litiulmoiisly Ko-elcetcri as Its Pastor. The Second Baptist church held a conference meeting 'Thursday night for the purpose of con sidering the matter of Rev. J. W. Howard’s resig nation ns pastor, and also to select a pastor for the ensuing year. There was a good attendance of the membership.! A visiting brother being present, was asked to preside over the deliberations. It was very mani fest, from the remarks of several prominent members, that the church was not at all inclined to give up Mr. Howard yet awhile, at least. Mr. Howard’s name was, after some discus sion, put in nomination, and no other name be ing offered, a rising vote was taken and he was chosen pastor for another year without a dissent ing voice. The question of the pastor’s compensation was t hen considered and each member present was asked to name the amount he or she would pay monthly, throughout the year, for the pastor’s support. Nearly or quite all responded to the extent of their several abilities. A committee composed of the deacons and the moderator vas then appointed to wait on Brother Howard and inform him of the action of the church and ask him to accept the call. His answer has not yet been given. LOCAL LACONICS. —Indications for Georgia; Fair weather follow ed by local rains, no decided change in tempera ture, easterly winds. —Only about 700 voters have registered in the city thus fi\r.

The end-men of the organization are remarkably clever, and there was seldom any need of a chest nut bell during their efforts to be funny. The Poluski brothers and the Pavanelas are marvel ous in their lines and are alone sufficient to in sure the success of the company. There are many other features which ore worthy of the highest praise.’’ TALBOTTON TOPICS. « The Superior Court In Session—Small Attendance anil the Cause of It—The Attractions of Talboton Fen Criminal Cases on the Docket. Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Talbotton, Ga., September 17.—The superior court is progressing slowly. There are a large number of cases on the docket, and the Talbot ton lawyers with their usual diligence and zeal are ready in nearly every case called. Then they iry their cases thoroughly, going over all the points at length, and this takes time. It now looks like the court, after holding the two weeks allowed by law, will a Ijourn before the docket is half through. Judge Willis seems to be himself again and is presiding with dignity, giving satisfaction both to the bar and the people. The slim attendances upon court is quite noticeable. I never saw so few people here during court week. Whether they are more anxious then usual to pet opt their cotton during the fine weather, or whether the closing of the • red liquor” bar deprives the town of its former at tractions, I do not know; but the fact is evident. Nor have I seen a single man here this week un der the influence of whisky, although I did hear of some on Monday. Perhaps there was some imported on that day by non-residents which was divided out on the first day, but the supply was soon exhausted, and quiet and order pre vails. There was a jug-maker here with a wagon load of his ware for sale. I noticed that his stock consisted of churns and pitchers; there was not a single jug on hand. This may have been caused by the great demand for jugs having ex hausted his stoek before reaching town; or it may be that the prudent jug-maker had brought only churns to this market. Amongst its other attractions Talbotton has a fine iiiilittfry company and a brass band, both of which have been exercised during the week. The band has a teachqr and they practice at night in the opera house, which is hard by the hotel. Some of the lawyers, with no music in their souls, ex pressed a preference for sleep, but those who could appreciate a good thing highly enjoyed the martial strains. Capt. G. E. Thomas, the accom plished and genial captain of the City Light Guards, came up Thursday to inspect the Talbot ton Rifles. This fine company, under the com- mond of Col. Jesse J. Bull, were formed in front of the hotel about 4:30 o’clock to undergo the in spection, which was performed in true military style. After completing this duty Capt. Thomas took charge of the boys and put them through for about two hours. The drill was i ighJy creditable both to the captain and the companj’. He showed that he had not forgotten his old military training in the war, and if he has been compelled to let out his sword belt several holes he is still able to undergo another campaign in the service of his country. Next Monday the criminal docket will be taken up, and it may be that the case against Calhoun will .be tried. I learn that there are not many persons in jail, aud one grand juror told me that if prohibition re mained there would soon be no work for that body. It is supposed that the civil docket will be re sumed on Wednesday and will continue during the week. C. A Moonlight Picnic. \ large party of young ladies and gentlemen of the city attended a moonlight picnic at the residence of Mrs. McCauley in Sommerville last night. Disbrow’s immense picnic wagons were called into service and both were well filled. The occasion was heartily enjoyed by all who at tended. “Not a RiieMtiou of Jlruiii*.*’ Wichita, Kan., August 22,1886. To the Agent of the Mutual Life—Dear Sir: Success in this world is not a question of brains. Last winter I made the acquaintance of a. gen tleman who used to be worth $250,000. During these years he took out $11,000 15 year en dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run 11 years he broke up in business and lo.-t all but his policy, for which the company paid him $8,000. This gave him a second start. He said: ‘‘If I had not taken an endowment policy I would now have to work by the day, as the money paid for the insurance would have gone into the business.’’ Respectfully, D. C McKinnon. ‘Need we say anything relative to the advisa bility of preparing a financial umbrella for the proverbial ‘‘rainy day” by taking a policy in the Mutual Life. D. F.
