The Peach Crop.
Wc regret to learn that the peach
crop in this section is not promising.
The early crop is an almost total fail
ure, owing to the ravages of the cur-
cnleo worm, which have been wide
spread. The later crop, while not
abundant, is of fine size, and if the
worm does not attack il, it will turn
out very well. There is not enough
fruit “in sight” to supply the home
demand. The outlook throughout
the State is about as iu this county.
TO AMEIUCUH.
The IJhrnry Kxeur-ion—A Plrasaat and Prof,
liable One,
According lo niinouucement the
excursion of the Operetta Troupe to
Americus, lo play for the beuelit of
the Library Association of that and
this city, h>ok place on Wednesday
afternoon, Ihe 11 th insl. The train
left Albany at 4:30 p. in., ranyitig
four coaches filled with a happy, rol-
icking crowd of old and young, hrnt
upon Ihe full enjoyment of the occa
sion. The run to Amorims was
breezy mol delightful, and in llic cool
shadows of I lie evening that city was
duly reached. A large crowd of cit
izens were nt Ihe depot, to join the
Library Gommittcc iu welcoming
Carriages were provided, and
Ihe “Troupe" were whirled away to
the College Chapel, where they were
to give their performance. The rest
of the large crowd from Albany pro
ceeded up into the city, aud spent
some time iu viewing the town and
indulging in supper. The perform
ers fared nicely at the College, where
an abundance of good hot coffee and
lunch was served, which stimulated
them greatly for Ihe after perform
ance.
A large audience greeted them as
the curtain arose. It was composed
of Ihe bust people of Americus, and
they seemed to liave turned out en
masse to help the good cause. The
highly complimentary terms in which
the press and people of Americus
spoke of the whole performance is
Ihe best criticism that can be made
upon the actingof our Amateurs, and
is all that need be given to them. AVo
can but say, however, that we thought
the performance the best of the three
which have been given by the Troupe.
After the plays were over there
was “hurrying lo and fro,” and a
scrambling for wraps and baggage,
aud a rush for seats iu the vehicles
waiting to convey the crowd ta the
depot. Everybody was in time, and
tbe train left at 12 o’clock on ita re
turn trip, arriving, safely at Albany
about two o'clock, bringing to a close
one of tho pleasantest occasions of
tlie kind we have ever known. Not
one tiling happened to tnar the pleas
ure of the trip. Everybody was iu
fine health and spirits; everybody
was in a good humor; nothing was
said or done that was iu the least out
of the way, and the excursion was ip
every respect a success. The merry
crowd was wide-awake all the time,
and the coaches, as they swept on
through the uight, were gleaming
with light and resonant with laugh
ter. Many were the regrets when
the train stopped at Albany and the
frolic was ended.
Tho Albany Cornet Band was
along of course. We could not have
done without them, and we venture
to say that Americus doesn’t often
hear such music as our band furnish
ed them. The Sumter Republican
said that Mr. Shelton’s cornet solo
was the best part of the entertain
ment.
The Libraries each netted a hand
some sum from the entertainment-—
The Amerkus Amateurs are expect
ed to visit Albany soon and give an
entertainment for the benefit of the
Libraries. Wc will be glad to wel
come them, and can assure them i
rousing house.

The Wrong Dose.
A little child of our friend, Mr. T.
11. Kirksey, was given a dose of latid-
nuin for paregoric by fho nurse on
Friday last. Dr. T. II. Pickett, who
waa in the city at the time, was called
in and administered medicine that
counteracted the effect of the laud-
num, and saved the littlo fellow’s life.
Wc sincerely congratulate and arc
glad with Mr. Kirksey and his wife
that their child was saved.

“And She Wilted Upon the First Rise of the
Curtain.”
The following from tho Americus
Recorder 16 very expressive:
The visit of tho glorious Albanians
to Americus Wednesday evening last,
may not be so enduring as the Sarco
phagus in which Sesostris meant to
sleep, but it will live in the memories
of our people for many years to
come. Our good but somnolent town
was suddenly awakenod by tho shrill
cry of the engine, announcing the ar-
rival of our guests, aud the real fact
that a show was on hand broke upon
its vision. Vehicles and footmen
reached the depot as if bv magic,
and a moment more found sister cities
in each others fond embrace. [We
embraced a few of the Albany sisters
ourself.]
The carriages took the Troupe at
once to College Hall, the boys took
the girls, and the balance took a
drink; and before mnuy of them
could take tea, the hour for the en
tertainment was at hand. The room,
though quite large, was full. Amer
icus wilted upon the first rise of the
curtain. Wo saw the feathers droop.
That opening tableau had not been
dreamt of in her philosophy. What
could she do to equal it ? The picture
was surely a success, for our “inno
cents” at home are yet ecstatic over
the “beautiful marble statuary.” Ac
oustics was an antiquated science
when College Hail was built, but the
clear voices wore fully heard and the
excellent intonation, the charming
music, and the faultless rendering oi
the parts combined to rivet the atten
tion of the largo audience during the
entire performance of near two hours
and a half.
As the returning train, freightened
with the smiles of lovely women and
noble men, moved away at the “wee
sms" hour of one, we felt glad that
all was well, and thought to hio the
day of generous reciprocation.
The Americus Republican speaks
in glowing terms of the performance
and everything connected with it. It
criticises the acting and singing of
each member of tbe Troupe, saying
all did well, splendid, etc. It is too
long for us to copy. We thank the
press of our Bister city for tho kind
ness and courtesy shown us through
their columns.
Postponed.
We are requested to announce the
postponement of the Camcnnan Soci
ety entertainment from the 26th to
sotno future day, hereafter to be se
lected. This is occasioned on account
of Ihe absence of tho orator, Col. C.
B. Wooten, who will be in nttondance
upon the Supreme Court. Our peo
ple anxiously nwait for the time to
cotne, as they know the Camcmeans
will give them something good.

TBE BRIDGE MEET1.VU.
Gnat Interest and Enthusiasm la Favor of
• Free Bridge.
The bridge meeting last Saturday,
called by the County Commissioners,
to take into consideration the subject
of purchasing Tift’s bridge, and the
best way of providing for tho same,
tvas well attended, aud wc gladly
noted the interest shown. The atten
dance was larger than we really ex
pected, knowing the condition of
crops, etc., and the demands made
upon the fanners for their whole and
undivided attention. The meeting
was called lo order by Mr. L. K.
Welch; Mr. C. M. Clark being re
quested to actas Secretary. The ques
tion ami the motle or manner o( pur
chasing was freely discussed. Differ
ence of opinion was as varied iu its
colors as tho tints of the rainbow ;
bnt we could see, as we have seen all
ihe while, that our people arc as
suredly aud unequivocally in favor
of a free bridge. This point was stick
ing out and showing in each and
every man’s face; for we all realize
there is no justice nor reason in a toll
bridge at Albany. After discussion
mid us a filial result of the meeting, a
committee was appointed of six, con
sisting of Judge G. J. Wright, D. II.
Pope aud R. Hobbs, on this side oi*
the river, and Mr. K. E. Wilder, Dr.
T. Sims and Dr. T. Jones, of the
eastern side, to act in conjunction
with the County Commissioners in
seeing Col. Tift and in getting his
proposition, terms, etc., in writing.—
This committee held a meeting on
yesterday, and received a definite
and open offer from Co). Tift to Bell
the bridge and bridge franchiso for
thirty thousand dollars, he making
an unconditional title for the same.
A suggestion has boeu mado that
the amount of $30,000 be raised by
private subscription lor the purchase;
and we understand a list is being car
ried around among the people for
this purpose.
RAILBOAD DISCRIMINATIONS.
Col. Tift, with his uudoubtable zeal
anti noted energy, is pushing ahead
with his war on railroad discrimina
tions. Just as the meeting was about
to close, he arose and requested that
the Biibject have a hearing at fhe con
vocation of citizens the coming Sat
urday, which was agreed to.
Excursion to Tybce.
Quite a large party of our citizens,

On Monday the elegant steamer, City
of Bridgeton, will carry the party to
Tybee, where a frolicsome and gay
time will be had. Fishing, hunting,
surf bathing, sailing, etc., will give
plenty of amusement. Wc 8dvise
our friends to stop at the Ocean
House. They should not fail to take
a stroll around the Island, visiting
the telegraph station, old fort, light
house, and many other attractions.
They have a good time ahead, with

Tlie Bridge Question.
ITS LEGAL STATUS—SOME FACTS AND
LAW ABOUT IT.
Our people are much interested in
this subject. It is a matter of great
importance, and should be consider
ed deliberately aud In all its bear
ings. We have collected tbe follow
ing facts beariug upon Ihe legal view
of Ihe question, which we submit,
without comment, for the considera
tion and discussion of the meeting on
Saturday next:
1. The first charter to Col. Tift for
the bridge was granted in 1838; and
in prescribing the rates of toll to be
harped for crossing the bridge, the
•barter stipulated that foot passen
gers should cross free. But Col. Tift
made foot passengers pay toll.
2. Iu 1852 the charter was amend
ed, and it was stipulated in the
amended charter that the rates of toll
should be such as were authorized by
law for the bridges at Macon and
Columbus. These bridges, as far back
as 1846, allowed produce to cross free.
Col. Tift has never made any discrim
ination, but lias charged toll lor pro
duce as well as for other articles.
3. In 1870 the Legislature, iu an
Act reciting violations by Col. Tift
of the provisions of his charters, re
pealed and revoked all former char
ters granted to Nelson lift end bi-
associates, and declared the charters
forfeited.
It is said, however, that. Col. Tift
has vested rights under hit charters;
but having violated them, his rights
are divested, and, as the Legislature
declared, the charter is] forfeited.
4. Col. Tift claims, however, that
he does not rely upon his charter, but
upon Section 684 of the Code, which
allows persons awning lands on both
sides of a stream to establish withou t
a charter a bridge or ferry thereon,
aud to charge such tolls as are cus
tomary at other bridges and ferries
on the same stream. The Supreme
Court of Georgia, in construing this
section in the case of Orter vs.
Baugabook (47 Ga. 282), declared
that this section must be construed
in harmony with section 2233, and
that section 684, thus considered, gives
to the owner of the land power to
establish only a private ferry and oc
casionally charge toll for carrying
others over; but that he cannot com
monly and usually use hla ferry for
such purposes, so as to make tbe same
a public ferry or bridge. They fur
ther declare in tbe same decision that
to have a public ferry or bridge is a
franchise which requires a charter
from the Legislature. Hence, the
power by whieh Col. Tift holds his
bridge aa a public ferry Is Invalid,
unless granted him by a charter ft-om
the Legislature.
5. It is said by some that Col. Tift
holds his bridge by a prescriptive
title or by statute or limitations. But
tbe title by prescription or statute of
limitations does not ran against the
State.
Wc merely submit these considers
tions without extended comment,
and trust that the subject will be
fully, fairly and freely ’ discussed
the meeting on Saturday.
CAGED AGAIN!
Dan False, alias Bob Ely, alias Toss Aider-
son, Colored—Some of hl«
Ups aad Danas.
On Tuesday evening, Mr. J. W.
Joiner, of this city, returned from
Montgomery, bringing with him the
above named culprit in chains. He
turned him over to Sheriff Edwards,
and at this writing Dan Paine, alias
Bob Ely, alias Tom Anderson, col'd,
lies chained in a cell of Dougherty
county jail. lie is a large black ne
gro ; weighs about 200, aud is near
six feet high.
The history of this villain is full of
startling interest, and would fill a
chapter. Twelve years ago he burned
the town of Greenville, Ala. At that
time he was not captured. Two
years thereafter he entered the same
town and stoic a pair of fine horses.
He then came to Albany, lived here
twelve months; and was arrested and
convicted of burglary. For that
crime he was sentenced to the peni
tentiary for a term of eight years
He remained there seven and a half
years, and waa then discharged - on
account of good behavior. He came
back to Albany, and last fall, at mid
night, entered the store of W. H. Gil
bert, Ag’t, k Co., in which Mr. Joel
Jotuer had a stock of jewelry, watch
es, etc., and the aforesaid Dan-Bob-
Tom took therefrom several articles
of great value. With these he fled
back to Alabama. Shortly after
wards he entered a jeweler’s estab
lishment in Montgomery and attempt
ed to sell tbe stolen treasure. He
was detected by a postal card Mr.
Joiuer had printed and sent out to
all jewelers, describing the property
lost; and the numerously named
Dan, etc., was ironed and jailed. Mr.
Joiner went after him last week, un
der a requisition from the Uovernor,
payinghia own expenses; and the
fellow now awaits his sentence.
Dan-Bob-Tom does not at all feel
concerned in the matter. He says he
will plead guilty, qpd w.onld as soon
spend 15 or 20 years In the peniten

During the wool : season which has
Just closed, the Central Railroad Bank
of this city has paid out between $80,-
000 and $100,000 cash for wool. In
addition to this, largo amounts havc
been paid by other parties. It is safe
to say that between 300,000 and 400,-
000 pounds of tho fleece hare found a
market in Albany this spring. Tho
business is rapidly increasing In pro
portions, and Albany is becoming no'
ted for the largest market in the State
for this important staple. A perti
nent inquiry is: Could not much of
this wool be manufactured right here
at home, and to good profit 7 We
have plenty of water power? Would
it not pay 7

The Telegraph «fc Messenger notes
Ihe part taken in the brilliant com
mencement of Wesleyan Female Col
lege, by Albany’s fair representa
tives :
“The Simple Story of George
Washington, ’ by R. N. Burdette, was
charmingly told liy Miss Emma G.
Davis, of Albany. It held the atten
tion of the audience to its close, win
ning several rounds of applause. The
selection was good and the reader
did it more than justice. It was the
popular piece of the evening.
“The Whippoorwills,” a vocal duett,
w.ifi8ung with great sweetness by
Misses Eliza and Etnma Davis. Both
tbe young ladies possess sweet and
well trained voices, which blended
harmoniously in tlie notes of Ihe
song.
The last composition was read by
Miss Minnie T. Wooten, of Albany,
and was a remarkable piece of imag
ination, clothed in elegant and flow-
cry language and read in a very at
tractive manner. The subject was
“A Bunch of Keys,” and from this
homely theme a beautiful fable of an
Eastern warrior who wandered into
an enchanted castle and found four
keys which opened the gateways to
-lory, power, wealth and heaven.
he pictures were handsomely drawn,
and the composition quite a depart
ure from the usual style, unique aud
original.

Editor Sumter Republican: On
thcllth inst., the Albany Brass Band
left here on an excursion train for
Americus. About 2 A. M. tlie next
morning they returned, aud said they
had been to Americus, buton looking
over your to-day’s paper, we see no
mention of them, and we have deci
ded that they certainly did not go to
Americus. Can you tell us where
they went 7 B.
To which tho Republican replies:
“In our notice of the visit of the Al
banians last Saturday, we uninten
tionally omitted to say a word of Ihe
Brass Band. It is one of the best
bands that has visited Americus in
many days, and the music could hard
ly be surpassed. Our people, ail, had
a good word to say of the music as
U passed from the depot to the hotel,
and wo heard never a word that waa
not In praise of iu Indeed, tbe Al
bany Brass Baud did come to our
towu on the 11th, and we enjoyed U
very much. Would like for U to
come again, and very often.

Haring a Pleasant lime.
Ocean House, j
Tyree Island, June 16th.(
Bear Mews: Our party arrived
safely last Friday, after a long bnt
pleasant ride. Savannah is looking

The fine steamer, City of Bridgeton,
brought us down to Tybee, where we
are sojourning. The Albany party-
are being cared for nicely by Mr. Y.
B. Ybanez, of the famous Ocean

to that of any hotel in Georgia, and
a person can find no better enjoy
ment, fun and recreation anywhere
than here. Tlie fishing, surf bathing,
sailing, ftin, amusement, ctix, are ex
cellent. The charges are very rea
sonable indeed, nothing being exor
bitant. Great many visitors here,
and the season just opened. It is ru
mored on the Island and in Savannah
that the Albany Guards intend visit
ing Tybee about the first of July. 1
ara confident that should they come,
they will meet with a warm welcome
everywhere. The Fourth iu Savan
nah will be a lively one. We have
communication witli the city three
times a day by boat, besides a tele
graph line. Our delegation is in
line health and spirits, and are all ex
claiming, “Hurrah for Tybcc.” Home
