cluded. One of these stones hit Bell's pet corn, and
ne told the boys they were “sons of a gun,” or words
to that effect. Afterwards the scene of action was
transferred to the car shed, and Sullivan struck the
bell with a round rock just to see if it would ring.
Sullivan departed hastily just at this time, and Flem-
ing^got served like poor Tray in the spelling book.
After this Bell took to his heels, and Fleming threw
two rocks at him on Pryor street, near the big hotel.
There was so much of what Billings calls “humau na

Htreel Cars and Sunday.
In response to the numerous complaints about the
crowding of negroes in the street cars on Sunday, we
called upon Colonel George W. Adair and found
that h* was already alive to th* annoyances growing
out of this question. It ia one which he acknowl
edges is very difficult of settlement. We have negroes
in the Legislature; we have them In the jury box,
and, although Mr. Hill and General (iartrell made
the most powerful speeches in their protests against
the outrage, we have them in the United States
Court. Colonel Adair has decided to put on two extra
cars to nan every afternoou, and will do all in his
power to satisfy what he considers as reasonable
complaint*.

evidence except the prisoner’* statement was intro
duced for the defense. After conviction s new trial
was moved for on two grounds, via:
First, Error in charge of th* Court. Second, newly
discovered evidence. The newly discovered evidence
went to show that there was a woman named Dora
Robinson living in Campbell’* row at tbs time of the
commission of the offense, and that certain articles of
dress which the prosecutor alleged the accused wore
at the time she received the clothing ths prisoner
never owned or wore, together with seine other Cacti.
Th* Court over-ruled the motion, and Hi*cm«wm
carried to the Supreme Court where the dscisowof the
Court below was affirmed. She was sentenced to the
penitentiary for two years. Evidence was submitted to
the Governor—part of which was discovered after the
motion for a new trial had been made, to the effect
that there was a Dora Robinson, between whom and
the accused there was such a strong resemblance that
itwasdiflicnlt to tell thsm apart, and *he lived la
the place specified—these new affidavits to
this effect were laid before the Gov
ernor, and tbe certificate of Dr. Pinckney
that her health was impaired by her confinement In
jail, fthe had been in prison ever since her conviction.
Evidence of her unexceptional conduct during her Im
prisonment and evidence of her previous good charac
ter for honesty in tbe shape of affidavits from several
persons who had employed her. The length at time
she had been in prison—over a year—had some influ
ence in determining the action of the Governor. The
petition was not numerously signed, but was signed
almost exclusively by officers of tbe court and msm
bers of tbe bar, nearly all of whom bad heard the trial
and believed bar innocant. Edgar H. Orr and Captain
John Millege were In the cave lor the defense from
first to last.
The petition was laid before the Governor two weeks

SUNDAY SERMONS.
Fli nt Baptist Church#
Morning service: Sermon by Rev. E. W. Warren.
Text: Isaiah, 40th chapter and 3d verae—“Prepare ye
the way of the Lord.”
John the Baptist believed that ho waa one to whom
the prophet referred in the language of tbe text. John
was to go before as a herald to announce the coming of
Christ and to invite the people to prepare the way for
him. It was an ancient eastern custom for a few per
ms to precede a distinguished visitor, such as a king
: queen, as an introduction to their grand reception.
This voice, “prqparq yp the of the Lord” ha*
besu sounding down through agss, uriUl the present
time, and now it is as incumbent on tbe members of
this church to prepare hi* way as it was for John. I
announce to yon that Christ is coming—coming with
life, light, and the power of salvation. Be ye there
fore, ready to receive him. That fact that he is com
ing doe* not indicate that he has not beeu here before,
or that he is not here now, but that ho is coming in a
special sense. This will be a precious visitation. The
glory of the Lord will be received—prepare for the rc-
oeption of the Holy Ghost. The first question sug-
ited is. how shall this way be prepared* The

mired Miller’s genius, and regretted that snch a man
should have become insane. Having finished his sup

good education . had entered the Methodist
ministry, but that having peculiar and
original views in reference to the in
terpretation of God’s word be soon stepped outside
the church. For this he wee so persecuted in Mates-
chusette, he decided to search for a place and a home
among strangers and came to this State, but did not
persuade his disciples to come with him. He states
that in general, his intercourse with the people of
Georgia has been pleasant, and that but for the child
ish weakness of his followers, (of whom he spoke in
pity and sorrow,) his colonization scheme here would
have been eminently successful; no one in Georgia
could deny that his course here had been marked by
strict temperance, honesty, and truthfulness; if it
God’s will that he should serve him in prison he was
perfectly willing to ; do ao; had no ill feeling to
wards any one of his persecutors; has but fourteen
disciples left at the “happy land;” has
great admiration for the liberal feeling and high
moral courage of Geo^ians in general; speaks highly
of the kindness and ability of General Robert Toombs*
who, he says, possesses the finest intellect in America;
appears indifferent as to whether he is pardoned him
self, and hopes that all his persecutors will obtain
pardon and forgiveness from the Lord; still has the
ntmost faith in his religion, and clings to its precepts
with the greatest tenacity, apparently.
A Curd from Cook & Clin k.
Atlanta, Ga., May 19, 1873.
To the Editors of the Herald:
We notice an'editorikl article in your paper of Sun
day morning last, which, in so far as it refers to om
business relations with the Western and Atlantic rail
road, reqnlres a correction from ns, Injustice, both to
the officers of the road and ourselves. We are
from wanting any newspaper notoriety—this being the
first time we have ever found it necessary to appear in
print. In the article in question, after stating that
have been “made victims or’ by tbe President of the
State road, you say that “both gentlemen are absent
from the city at present, bnt as soon as tfcey retnrn,
we shall call upon them, if it be necessary* to give to
th* public a history of their grievances. Except to
complain in private, they have had no other alterna
tive than acquiescence,” etc.
Your reporter. Dr. H. L. W. Craig, called on oar
Cook, at our office, on Saturday last, and at his re
quest, Mr. Cook stated to him what our business rela
tions with the State Road have been- that these rela
tions have never been other than pleasant and satis
factory with every administration of the Road, sines
the close of the war. That so fsr as the officerc of
the Road are concerned, they have sever attempted to
wrong us in any way that w6 were aware of, and that
when any little irregularity has occurred, (and these
have been but few), we have only bad to bring it to
the attention of the officers, to have it promptly
rected. With the present lessees and officers of the
Road, our relations have been entirely pleasant, and
we have never complained of them, either in public
or in private.
Dr. Craig expressed himself gratified to hear this
statement; said that be was glad to hear something in
favor of the management of the Road, and that he
had no animoajty towards Gov. Brown, fttC.
As to the difficulty between Gov. Brown
and Gen.
MacRae, we have nbthing*to do witb it, and win only
add that no one regrets it more than we do, and we
hope it may be amicably and satisfactorily adjusted.
Bespectfully, •Cook A Cheek.
(Since it is not our purpose to do injustice, cither
the President of th* Western k Atlantic Railroad or to
Messrs. Cook k Cheek, we publish the above with
pleasure. At the same time, we desire to state that
we were informed by responsible gentlemen that
Messrs. Cook k Cheek had complained in private of
the manner in which they had been treated by the
State Road authorities, and that when advised to make
the facts public they had declined, on the ground that
they dared not rink the destruction of their business
by ao doing. Our efforts to obtain the facts were foil
ed, Dr. Craig, our representative, reporting that Mr.
Cook, senior, had declined furnishing any information,
and that iheir manager had requested him to wait
until the return of Mr. Cheek from Memphis.—Edn.

the efficacy of devout and fervent prayer is presented
the servant of tho Lord who prayed a long space
of time for the conversion of one of his wealthy and
ungodly neighbors. Before th* petition Off bis prayer

In the eveniDg the pastor preached an impressive
sermon especially to the unconverted, from the text,
“He that being often reproved hardenetli his heart,
shall be destroyed, and that without remedy.” He
warned the sinner against the folly of postponing the
acceptance of Christ, and submitting to the process of
hardening, reminding him that “my Spirit'’ shall not
always strive with man saith the. LorJ.”

bath morning to a large and attentive congregation
from tbe Scriptural quotation, niene,mrne,lekrl upharsi*,
found in tbe prophecy o! Daniel, taking as his princi
pal subject, Tekel, "Thou art weighed in tho balance
and found wanting.” The main idea, practically con
veyed by the eeriRon was, that under the require
ments of tho Mosaic dispensation, all fell short of a
compliance, but that since the coming of Christ as an
atonement for tbe sins of the world, the Christian
claims no merit for his conversion, hut attributes all
to the cross of the Redeemer.
In the evening, the Rev. Mr. Guilford preached a
very fine sermon from the third petition contained in

Great Hail Storm at Hawkins-
ville.
[8rEciAL Correspondence of the Herald.]
At two o'clock on Thursday evening lasts hail
storm commenced in tbe region of Hswkinsville, and
continued with great force and fnry nntil 5K p. m.
The wind came from the north and the storm was
tbs most terrific that I ever witnessed. The first
•tones that fell were very small, bnt in a short time
reached the size of a pigeon’s egg and fell thick
and fast. Very soon thereafter they increased to the
size of IA inches in circumference, and 9 loch** in
length, and weighing from one-half t* one and a
fourth pound*. Pate’s store and the bank—all in
the raaae building, had twenty-five holes made
through the tin roof. Jelk’s new building had the
roof so damaged that it will have to be taken off and
a new one placed on. One hundred and fifty panes of
glass were broken out ou the north side of Lamar k
King’s cotton factory, and the roof of the building
over the boiler completely riddled. Ducks, geese and
pigs were killed* and a man at the factory waa struck
with a stone, from th* effect* of which he is now con
fined to his room. The average weight of the hail
•tooee that fell was about eight ounces. The shape of
thee* stones varied, some being like an egg. others
like a lemon, etc. From this hall the people of Haw-
kiaevlU* are making lcewater to-day, sad many hava
enough to last over Sunday.
Th* storm hagna a short distance north of this
place, traveling southward. These are facts, and can
be vouched for by the best men in Georgia. O. J.

Governor Brown states truly that I appealed to him
to procure the patronage of the State Road, aa the
mill waa ao situated a* to be dependent on the road
for patronage, as well as transportation. And he also
states truly that I admitted that there had been some
poor iron made by the mitt under ttee supervision of
John D. Gray and Myself. But the impression sought
to be made In his statement, that it was done design
edly, is not true, as it could not have been prevented
at the rime, there not being a sufficiency of puddling
furnaces in ihe mill to furnish the necessary quantity
of new iron for the heads of the rails. His state
ment, which makes me say that “it had turned out to
be bad policy,” is not true, as I made the beat iron for
the road that could have been made out of the mate
rials I had. Governor Brown states truly that I agreed
to pay bod five dollars a ton it tbs iron I rolled did
not wear as well as the best English iron, which I still
insist is true; and, as an evidence of the truth, Gov.
Brown has never made a requisition on me for the $5.
And Governor Brown's mortification at the occasional
failure of a bar mast have been predicated on his Ig
norance of the fact that no human sagacity or precau
tion can prevent an occasional defective bar of iron,
or detect it after made, which is all the failure that
has occurred in his experience, according to his own
statement. I did not accuse Governor Broun
applying to his own use the difference
between the $70 a ton and the value of English iron!
but aa be had only paid me $70 a ton under the con
tract, aud had reported my iromat the «srod rate of
the English iron, I asked (which I think I had a. right
to do), what he had done with th* difference; and it
occurs to me that he could have stated that my infer
formation on this subject was not correct—much
easier than he could have construed the inquire into a
charge against himself of fiaudufontly appropriating
the proceeds, and paraded the misfortune of The loss
of my rolling mill books as a charge of corruption
against me. No fair-minded wan, knowing the facts,
could believe that my books had disappeared by any
agency of mine. I am glad that the Governor’s books
have been ao well kept, and so fortunately preserved,
and that they ao ably exonerate him from all fraud,
but what do they say about this difference in the
iron?” Governor Brown states truly that he went
with me to examine the iron, and that we found some
nils prematurely worn; but they were on a part of
the track which I suppose had boon subjected to
heavier wear than usual. But it is not true that I
evaded the query of the 23 per cent. of. ne*t iron.on
the heada of the rails, as that amouut had been nut
all the rails under our contract, which I am abund
antly able to provo. - , . '
It Is not true that I have sought to make more than
a legitimate profit out of my iron contracts by re.
ducing the quantity of new iron ou the head of the
rails, bnt have carried out my contracts faithfully and
challenge the State of Georgia to show any iron
that wears better from any mill. Governor. Brown
very kindly explains why it is that I have ordered a
suspension of coal curs. He- says, “four times,” l|
have no recollection of but twice, bnt fawdoe* not
deny the failure of which I complain, nor does
even attempt to show that they were unavoidable,
that they were not caused by tbe facts.ariuch I have
suggested. He also kindly advises me to keep a stock
of iron and coal ahead, for which kind suggestions be
has my thanks, but being better acquainted with tbe
resources and necessities of the mill than "he possibly
be. I only ask au impartial r diatrignition <rf my
freights in coal, iron, sand, rock, etc., as my necessi
ties demand. And if no unjuet discrimination is
made against me no complaint shall meet the public

LOCAL NOTICES,'
In regard to the contraeb-ihade With'the State Road
to furnish them with 200 tons new iails, t(J bupaRl
for in freight over their road, it was not specified
which route the rails were to be shipped by, which
were to be a test for our iron; but >t was distinctly un
derstood that whatever tbe cost of tbe particular 1GC
tons English iron was; just that price we were to' re
ceive for the 200 tons new iron which we furbished.
We supposed of course that they would buy this 100
tons iron as cheap as they could, and have it shipped
by the cheapest route to Atlanta, in order to reduce
the price of our iron to tLe lowest figure. Iu order
to make a settlement of our freight account, we pro

from Wilmington, N. C. to
wc have the total cost in Atlanta, $7,305 H or $73 05
per ton. Oh the llih March, 1872, we made a bill for
the differehco between our estimated price and the
cost of the iron according to their own statement and
presented it to Governor Brown for his approval,
stated that we had already received more than
were entitled to when the $70 per ton was peid, not
withstanding, according to iheir own statement, the
iron had cost $3 05 per ton more delivered in Atlauta,
and refused to approve the bill. No further demand
was made uotil June 4, 1872, when we sent the follow
