Mr. James M. Gray, of Jones coun.
ty, left his estate to Mercer Universi-
The will was contested, and after
long snit has been sustained. The
university has received $10,000 of the
legacy, and $10,000 more arc to come.
The DeKalb County News lias a
new editor. He writes a high-toned,
flowery and delightful salutatory,
handsomely decorated with adjec
tives, in which he speaks of his inex
perience, of “Hope beconinghim on,”
etc; signs his name in full, and the
following is his .first editorial:
“If some enterprising farmer wants
to get his name in the paper let him
bring us a large watermelon before
our next issue. We will save a space
at the head of our local column.—
Don’t ail speak at once.”
The South is progressing—growing
rich and powerful. Statistics of the
production in the South in each year
from 1870 to 1878) inclusive, of cotton,
sugar and tobacco,show that the crop
of cotton in 1878 was about 400,000
bales larger than it was in any pro
ceeding year; the production of su
gar 53,000 hogsheads larger, and the
yield of tobacco greater by 12,000,000
pounds—the totals for the year being:
Cotton, bales, 5,200,000; sugar, hogs
heads, 212,000; tobacco, pounds, 572,-
000,000.
General Grant is reported, in his
tp.-ech in reply to the address of
welcome made to him by Li-Hung
Chang, to have expressly disclaimed
any part in the third-term “boom.')
The viceroy bad referred to the time
when Grant would again be the Pres
ident of the United States, and the
general said in reply “there could be
no wish more distasteful to me than
what you express. I have held the
office of President as long as it has
ever been held by any man. I have
no claims to the office. I have had
my share of it—have had ail the hon
ors that can lie or should be given to
any citizen.” As the New York Her
ald says, “this is a downright decla
ration—as far as it goes.”
The question of cheap transporta
tion is one of much importance to the
people of the South. With a rich,
productive soil, we are almost exclu
sively an agricultural people. Our ar
ticles for transfer to markets and
manufactories are of such a nature as
to render enormously expensive the
rates of freight, and we need better
and cbcapeC facilities. A big plan is
now on foot to connect by a canal
suitable for floating barges the wa
ters of the Gulf with those of the At
lantic, running from St. Marks river
in Florida to St. Marys river in Geor
gia. The plan seems a feasible one,
and ought to bo encouraged by the
Slate ami National Government.
Senator Jones, of Florida, has been
interviewed by the Atlanta Constitn
lion, and says Hint lie think* Ewing
will certainly carry Ohio; thinks
Shermau lias tho inside track for the
Republican nomination, and that
Grant will not endeavor to be the
candidate. As to the Democrats, be
thinks the nominee will he the man
who can best “manipulate the ma
chine,” and who is the best “wire
puller.” Mr. Jones says that the best
men in the party cannot be elected
that if Jefferson were alive he could
not be elected, and that Bayard is
too good to be President. Mr. Jones
thinks the great issue of 1880 will be
the preservation of constitutional lib-
erty against centralized government
that the Radical* arc fighting for.
A writer tells us to place our hand
upon our heart and feel ita muffled

hand upon our wallet, and realizing
from its thinness that we must toon

State News.
A Macon county baby, two months
old, weighs five pounds and has six
teeth.
Mr. Geo. C. Brown, now of the
“Brown Honse,” Macon, has leased
the “Mitchell Honse,” in Thomasville,
and will keep it open all the year
round.
The Eatonton Broad Axe and Item-
izer estimates the Goldsmith impeach
ment trial to last three weeks and to
cost fifteen thousand dollars at the
lowest calculation.
An enthusiastic admirer of Athens
says that city is celebrated for “her
fine bar, her pretty girls, her old
maids of all kinds—handsome, rich,
artistio—her lofty omnibus fires and
her wealthy men.”
We learn through Mr. J. J. Dun
can, Agent of the Southern News
Company, that Mr.J.T. Kelso, Tax
Collectorof Macon connty, was killed
at Oglethorpe, on Saturday night, by
one Buts. Buss escaped.
The Montezuma Weekly regrets to
state that ita town is not the health
iest place it knows of at present.—
Chills and fever prevail extensively.
It is’but justice to Montezuma, how
ever, to say that the same complaint
comes from tho entire neighborhood
surrounding onr town.
Tho bill providing that hereafter
tax collectors shall bo ex-officio sher-
ifis in so fur as to levy their own fi.
fas, issued for default of taxes, has
passed the House and Senate and is
a law. When land is levied on the
regular sheriff most make the sale;
where personal property is levied on
the collector must make the sale; in
all cases be must do tho levying.
State School Commissioner Orr has
given notice of an increase by Dr.
Sears from the seven pupils from
Georgia, now at the Normal College
at Nashville, Tennessee, to twenty,
which will involve the appointment
of thirteen additional scholarships.—
Each appointed will he entitled to
free tuition, and will receive two
hundred dollars per annum. Dr. Orr
has determined that seven ofthe new
appointees shall he males and six
females.
Macon seems to be rather unsafe
place at times. The other night as
Mr. V. Menard, of that city, was
walking home a negro accosted him,
and asked him to stop, as he wished
to speak to him. Mr. M. stopped,
and when the negro came close to
him discovered that he hold an open
knife in his hand. Menard quickly
drew his pistol and covered the ras
cal, who fled precipitately. The night
after a Mr. Pope, of that city, was at
tacked in the same manner. He was
unarmed, bat ran his band behind
him as if he had a pistol, and the ne
gro ran away.
Buchanan, a colored prisoner, re
cently eaptured by r requisition from
Judge Wright, of Albany, made
good his escape from the Brunswick
jail on Thursday morning last, under
the following circumstances: He had
been, says the Advertiser, put in one
of the lower cells with the city pris
oners. On Thursday morning when
the prisoners came out to wash, Bu
chanan came out with the rest, and,
having washed, went back to the cell.
Mr. Gill, who was officiating in the
absence of the jailor, turned his back
on him for a moment, when the pris
oner slipped out of the door Into the
yard, and hied off to the woods. He
was seen apd pursued, but made good
his escape.
A letter to the Atlanta Constitntion
says that the Mormon Eider Standing
who was lately killed in Whitfield
county, was guilty of very immoral
practices; had ruined several young
girls, caused dissension in some fam
ilies, and separated a husband and
wife. A party of men captnred
Standing and his companion, and
were taking them to the railroad to
send them away. The party stopped
at a spring, and one of the captors
stooped down to drink, laying hi*
pistol on the ground; Standing
caught it up and fired at the party,
the fire was returned, killing Stand-
ing. The slayers left the county and
went to Tennessee, whence three of
them were brought hack and com
mitted in default of $5000 bail each
An Atlanta dispateh to tho New
York Sun soys: «A careful canvass
ofthe General Assembly shows that
about three-fifths favor the renomi-
uation of Tilden. The remainder fa
vor Hendricks and Bayard. Senators
Gordon and Hill are both understood
to be warmly in favor of Tilden. Af
ter Tilden, Ewing is preferred, pro
vided ho wins in Ohio.”
Constitution: An income of $10,000
is first-lass for a lawyer, and $5,000
is not to he sneezed at In fact thore
are many lawyers who would eagerly
sneezo at $3,000. The biggest fees
ever made in Goorgia, that I can hear
of, were made by Ben Hill. Ho' got
$60,000 in cash in the Metcalf case,
and was entitled to more than double
that much. He got a cost fee of $65,
000 in ’62 when It was worth In gold
about $50,000. He made $25,000 in
the Kimball house litigation. But
these were phenomena) tees. Wright
ft Alexander, in Rome, got a cash fro
of $10,000 in one enclosure, and I sup*
poso soveral fees of this size have
been paid.
Senator Hill, of Georgia, has got

Neighboring Notes
That sterling young gentleman,
Mr. C. P. Rouse, of Warwick, is lo
cated at Montezuma, and doing busi
ness for John F. Lewis ft Son.
We had a pleasant call and chat
from onr friend, Col. Tip Jones, of
Worth county, a few days ago. It is
a pleasure to welcome sucli a genial
and Intelligent gentleman in our sanc
tum, and we hope to see him often.
Mr. II. II. Collier, formerly of our
city, but now of Macon, is a rising
yonng railroad man. He has emi
nently sound Judgment and discre
tion for one of his age, and Superin
tendent. Raoul is fortunate in having
him in his office.
Our friend down the lane, Mr. Geo.
T. Galloway, gave a barbecue to his
hands a few days ago. Several neigh
bors were invited, and the occasion
much enjoyed. Mr. Galloway is a
good farmer, and wo are glad to
know his crop prospects are bright
Mr. Bob Williamson, of Bruns
wick, accidentally shot and almost in
stantly killed himself with a pistol
on the 26th ult. Ho was preparing
to do some work on the pistol-when
it was loaded. It went off “all of a
sudden,” as they generally do, and
killed him.
We are requested by a sturdy old
farmer friend of ours, hailing from
Terrell county, to inquire ofthe mer
chants and cotton buyers of Dawson
how much of the sum taken up for
the purposo was used iu paring for
the first hale of this year’s cotton
crop?
Bev. J. S. Graves, of Hillsdale, paid
us R visit one day last week. Mr.
Graves has accomplished a great deal
of good wherever he has lived. Liv
ing a straight-forward, honest and
religious life, he is beloved both as a
man and minister of the gospel. He
has raised np a family of children
that he may well be proud of.
We have written up a good many
“big crops,” bnt here is the boss one.
Mr. Wm. Kirkland, of Kirkland Sta
tion, B. ft A. R. R., raised last year
on a five acre patch of cotton five
bales weighing five hundred and
twenty pounds each. Mr. Kirkland
has a beautiful farm, a pleasant and
comfortable home, and is surrounded
by an agreeable and ipteillgent fami
ly. He believes in the wiregrass sec
tion, and in our hujnble opinion has
every reason to snstain and support
his belief.
The countenance of our good
friend, Mr. John R. Lee, is as bright
os a locomotive head-light. He is as
joyous as a young Iamb gamboling
over the green, as happy as a boy
with a ticket to the circus, and as
smiting as the opening petals of some
dainty (lower. The iamb, the hoy.
the flower and Mr. Lee—and last, hut
not least—the bouncing, laughing,
chubby baby that has recently come
to his household. The days of bach
elorhood seem as a myth, eh, old
friend! M*y the father and mother
and baby boy live long and prosper.
We get the following items from
tho DawsonJournal:
Mr. J. W. Robert, Jr., sold bis farm
last week to Prof. G. W. Cheves, of
Albany. Mr. Roberts will move to
town next week.
Mr. O. B. Stevens sold the Edmon
son place last week to Mr. S. D. Wit
son, of Dougherty county, at three
dollars per acre. Mr. Wilson will
move to our county about the first of
January next
Prof. Cheves has no idea of leaving
our midst We shall regret the move
of Mr. Wilson. He is a clever gen.
tieman and a good farmer, and wo
commend him to any community.
Mr. Thomas Paulk had the misfor
tune to lose a valuable mule the oth
er day, by grubs. The apim*! could
not have been bought for $125 in
gold.—Berrien County News. We
very often see similar items as the
above in our exchanges. Years ago
the following receipt was given our
senior by one of the leading physi
cians ofthe State for the cure of bots
or grubs Jn horses and mules, and we
have never known it to fail when giv
en iu time. It is simple and worthy
of trial: Make a large pill or bolus of
calomel, and give tho animal, drench,
ing it down with a bottle of sweeten
ed water, half water and half syr
up, to be followed in two hours
with a dose of castor o|l or lard. If
not relieved in six hours repeat the
dose.

A society which has just been or

Rip Van Winkle’s temperance pledge,
doesn’t count this time.
Harris, of tho Constitution, takes
time amid tho thundering and flash
ing of State and National news to re
mark on a subject some of us had al
most forgotten about It is simply
this and nothing more, that “the sur
ly opossum is gradually sheddingthe
hair from his tail and slowly ripen
ing,” Let us all he thankful at the
approach of such a consummation.
Senator Wade Hampton is report
ed by the Richmond State as saying
to an interviewee that Thurman or
Bayard will be the next Democratic
nominee for the Presidency. Hamp
ton's choice was thus announced: “I
prefer Bayard; I prefer him as a
man; I like his principles.” The Sen
ator thought that Sherman rather
than Grant would be tho Republican
nomjnee.
Talking about iinpeachmonts, it is
stated that a shorter and less costly
plan of getting rid of what are known
as State House officers will probably
become a law in q few days. The
bill provides that the Legislature
may remove these officials by resolu
tion for fraud or imcompetency.—
When the Legislature is not in ses
sion the Governor may suspend them
until the meeting of the General As
sembly. This law will cover all fresh
cases that may arise during the pres
ent sitting. We get the above from
the Augusta Chronicle and Consti
tutionalist.
Affairs in Memphis.
The condition of affairs in Mem-,
phis is most alarming. An increase
of crime and a tendency to commit
boldest deeds of lawlessness are re
ported by each days dispatches.—
Many anonymous letters have been
sent to the newspaper offices, hut not
published, containing threats against
citizens, and especially against the
city government officers, if certain
conditions are not complied wftli.—
One of these letters, sent to the “Ap
peal,” was signed “Many Colored Cit:
izens.” The alarming aspect of afikirs
has caused general preparations to
meet the worst. Vlgiiauce commit
tees arc talked of. Minute men ore
receiving daily accessions to their
number, and the police force is being
strengthened by the addition of a
mounted force for all night duty.—
This branch of poiico had lively work
with a gang of six men who commit*
ted robbery on Trigg avenue Thurs*
day night, finally succeeding in cap
turing five of the nnmber. A white
military company was organized the
day after. The general sentiment is
there will he no occasion for thioir
services, but should there be tho ldw-
abiding citizens are determined to
make examples not soon to be for
gotten. Men who have proved them
selves most effective in combatting
these plague visitations will prove
themsclvo8 equally so in time of un
provoked trouble like that threaten
ing now- The yellow fever is taking
Us terrible course, spreading death.
There is no hopo for a cessation he'

Bitten by a Ground Battle.
HOW THE BITE MAT BE CUBED AND LIFE
SAVED.
We take the following from the
Berrien Connty News:
On Monday evening last a little
daughter of Mr. J. J. McMillan, aged
ten years, was bitten by a ground
rattle, the bite of which is almost as
deadly as that of the rattle-snake;—
Mr. McMillan lives between three
and tour miles from this place, aud
it wonld have been fatal to tho child
to hate waited for assistance from
hero, and Mr. M. knowing this, boiled
a bottle of spirits of turpentine and
water, and whilo it was at boiling
heat 1 applied the month of the bottle
oveftfle place bitten. He also gave
the : child a gUse of sweet milk in
whidrhad been dissolved a piece ol
The little girl Was suffering - intense
agony'untH'theabove remedies were
~* d,- and then all pain ceased.
. M. came to town and procured
some whisky, whiph he gave the child
freely, and We are glad to state that
