the voting is going on quietly in this

>'ow here is something which is
reallv worth making a note of. If a
piece’of charcoal is laid on a burn the
pain will subside imrfl- iiately, and
if left upon the wound for an hour
will cure it. Thie seems almost in
credible, but as a piece of charcoal is
readily procurable it should be kept
in every house for immediate use and
its eflicaev tested. Evening State.
both sides were busy and earnest in
working for success. The leaders of
the wet party had given notice of a
fine dinner for its voters but the heavy
and continuous rain interfered mate
rially with their arrangements to have
it in the open air near the river, as we
learn was their intention. They how
ever had a large number of their ad
herents in town and speeches were
made to them by Mr. Sam Jemison of
Macon, and by Pledger and Jeff
Long.
The dry party gathered in large
numbers in Amusement Hall to'
hear an address by Dr. Atticus G.
Haygood. Notwithstanding the very
unfavorable weather, the ladies show
ed their devotion to the cause by ap
pearing in very considerable force.
Of Dr. Haygood’s address, we feel
iocapable of giving any just impres
sion. It was very long and yet when
he indicated an intention to close, he
was still urged to continue, and we
do not wonder at it. There was not a
dull sentence in it. He gained the at
tention and interest of his hearers in
the beginning and held and increased
them to the close. He is a speaker of
great versatility, and used wit, sar
casm, argument, pathos and elo
quence in a masterly manner; carry
ing conviction of the soundness of Ids
cause we should think to every un
prejudiced mind. It had a powerful
effect upon his audience, judging by
the enthusiastic applause, which was
almost continuous. At one point of
his address he drew 7 a very moving
picture of a young married couple,
well reared and settled in a cosy home;
and of the gradual decadence of their
fortunes in consequence of the hus
band's slavery to drink, until at last
they occupied a cellar in some city,
clothed in rags and with nothing to
eat and then asked, “what, shall we do
with such a man?” A shrill voice
from the gallery tilled with colored
people electrified the large but silent
audience by erving out “kill him.”
And indeed, in the state of feeling pro
duced by the orator's word painting of
the scene, so that seemingly it might
almost be seen with their natural vis
ion a majoritv of his hearers might
have endorsed the verdict rendered
by the colored woman in the gallery,
if it had been a reality before their
eyes. , , ,
On Sunday Dr. Haygood preached,
morning and night, at the Methodist
church to congregations that filled
the house, and in the afternoon he
preached to the colored people in the
colored Baptist church, which is quite
large and which also was crowded; a
few white people forming a part of
the congregation. His sermons were
all excellent discourses, as might have
been expected, and the great question
agitating our people was only inciden
tally brought into them. He left
here for Augusta by the 10 o’clock
night train after having made a pro
found and very pleasant impression
on onr people.

Personal Mention.
A few friends dropped in at the
Treanor mansion on Wednesday
night last and the popular game of
progressive euchre soon became the
amusement of the evening. The re
sult was that Miss Annie Treanor
won the first prize, Mr. Cape Green
the second and to illustrate we sup
pose the freaks of fickle fortune—
that good player, Mr. Tom McUouib
got what is called the booby prize.
On Tuesday evening last, about sun
set. as the Central R. R. passenger
train bound to Katonton was passing
what is known as Grantland's cross
ing, some four miles below this city, a
journal of a car of the Green car
line broke and the result was the
wrecking of eight ears, five of which
were so injured that nothing of value
except the irons could be saved. For
tunately, no one was hurt. Two cars
were loaded with piping from Stevens’
Pottery for the Lunatic Asylum and
the frail material was broken into
thousands of fragments, "which may
for years to come mark the locality of
the accident. A gravel train which
was at the depot in this city went to
the assistance of the wrecked train
<aui the passengers, after two or three
hears" uelav. Were carried forward to
their destination.
The intense interest of our citizens
m he eleef 'on yesterday was manifes
ted by the general closing of the
stores. The streets were dotted dur
ing much of the day by groups of
quiet, idle men, discussing the proba
ble outcome of the election and ever}*
one almost was « hungry for news
as a young newspaper reporter mak
ing his first venture in the thorny
paths of journalism.
The prohibition ladies were early on
the ground in rooms just west of
Whilden's stable, with the most at
tractive layout of good eatables—mod
estly called by them a lunch—and fed
all- comers of the right stripe from
breakfast time till late in the evening.
Two r-xurs. one for the whites and
ti. 3 othei for the blacks, were occupi
es by them: the latter having good
i v.ored w omen to wait on those of
tiifcir race.
On Monday night, the 15th instant,
two daring but fruitless attempts at
burglary were made, the object of the
burglars having been to rob the store
of A. Joseph and P. J. Cline A Co.
They made an unsuccessful attempt to
get into Mr. Joseph’s store through
the door at the rear wliicli opens into
the cellar. At t,he Store of P. J. Cline
4i Co., they dug up the brick pave
ment which held down the iron grate
of the cellar window on Wayne street,
and succeeded in getting one eud of
the grate loose. Something must
biwe alarmed them and driven them
;■ rk. done on the sidewalk
of our main business street, shows
that the parties w ho did it were unu
sually bold and daring. Knowing
that we have such gentry among us,
our citizens will doubtless be on the
alert and prepare themselves to give
such visitors a warm reception in the
future, if an occasion for it should a
rise.

Mr. Henry Perry, Jr., of this city,

Union Point, on the Georgia railroad.
He will make a faithful and compe

on securing this desirable position.
We regret to learn that Rev. Ricli'd
W. Anderson, rector of St. Stephen s
Episcopal church, has been suffering
recently so severely with some affec
tion of the throat, that he went over
to Macon to consult a physician there
who is a specialist in the treatment of
similar diseases.
Since writing the above we are
pleased to learn that Rev. Mr. Ander
son has returned greatly improved.
Possibly Dr. J. L. Walker may
make Milledgeville his future home,
and if so that town may well be proud
of such a valuable acquisition. He is
not only an accomplished and pop
ular physician, but a splendid, social,
gentleman and good citizen. We re
gret much to lose Dr. W. and his ac
complished wife from our midst, but
wish them much happiness and pros
perity wherever they may be.

as iu our criticisms last week of the
committee’s action, we took substan

and we have ridiculed the positions of
the Judiciary of the Senate. In de

has taken occasion to intimate to the
President that he would obey the
wishes of the people who elected him,
if he removed the Republicans, who
fill a vast majority of the official sta
