THE CORRESPONDENT—“NINETEENTH CEN
TURY.*
When we replied to his first on
slaught, we were laboring under tbe
impression that we were dealing with
a fair-minded gentleman, but the bad
humor, the contemptible spirit, the
bitter animosity manifested iu hit
last effusion, causes ns to doubt this.
Ho makes no point in tho discussion,
and as wc are known lo the public,
and tliis correspondent is hidden un
der darkness of a fictitious name, we
cannot condescend to continuo the
s.ibject with him. If, however, he be
a gentleman, (which, judging from
the animus of tho article, we have
reason to doulit), and desires to dis
cuss tho Georgia penitentiary system
openly and over his own signature;
we will agree to accommodate him,
as the subject is one of interest to the
people of the State.
We offer an apology to our readers
for having consumed so much of onr
space in this matter, and beg to as
sure them that it is not a controversy
between the two local newspapers In
Albany. The pitiful and uncalled-
for insinuations of the Advertiser, its
cartooning after the style of Tom
Nast, tho Harpers, and other villain
ous journalists at the north, (with
which, as we have reason to believe,
“XIX Century” had nothing whatev
er to do); is only an effort on the part
of that journal to draw us into a
filthy newspaper discussion, which
would be disgusting to sensible peo
ple, and lowering to tho dignity of
the press. We can assure the editors
and proprietors of that paper that
although this is not tho'firat effort of
their journal to draw ns into such a
slime-pit, it shall never be thus grat
ified. The people of this section
know us, and no amount of this sort
of stuff can cause us to condescend
to the plane of journalistic dirt-sling-

The Library Fair Postponed
Tho very inclement and unseasona
ble weather which has prevailed for
the past few days, was so unpropi-
tious for die Library Fair, that tho
Directors decided to postpono it. It
has not, however, been abandoned.—
On the contrary, it will be made far
more attractive than it would have
been. Many more goods will doubt
less be received, and the Fair will be
made a great success. Those who
have kindly contributed articles for
it, arc requested to keep them until
further notice.
Tho postponement will doubtless
prove a good thing for tho Fair. The
backwardness of the crops has caus
ed a great scarcity of monoy in the
city and conntry, and if tho Fair had
been held at the appointed time,
many of the articles would not havo
been sold, and it would not have
proved as great a success for the Li
brary a* it donbtless will later in the
soason, when the “flush times” come.
In the meantime, ontaldc contribu
tions will continuo to coma In, and
the stock will bo largely Increased by
time the Fair is held.
The Man Whom the Doge captured.
It may be of interest to the readers
of the News to know of what crime
the convict “Tom,” who was run
down and caught in Mr. Walter’s
corn-field several days ago, was con
demned to servitude. He is a negro
man of most desperate character, and
is serving a term of ten years now
for committing rape upon a white wo
man. On the evening of “Tom’s’’
escape, he complained of being sick.
Mr. Ledbetter, for the take of human
ity, had the guards to release him from
his chains. In a few hours Tom ’loft
ed off for the swamps. Mr. Ledbet
ter could easily have shot him, as he
started off, but for tbe sake of hu
man!‘y would not do so. Col. Lock
ett, the lessee, Is required to pay the
sum of two hundred dollars for each
escape, and the law authorizes him
to shoot down any convict who at
tempts to run, bnt he instructed his
superintendents never to do that if
capturo bo possible in any other man
ner. Mr. Ledbetter, therefore, let
Tom go, thus running the risk of
overtaking him with his dogs. The
pack was then put upon trail, and
ran until 9 o’clock, when Mr. L. call
ed them off. Next morning he strnck
Tom’s track, and after a long, inter
esting and exciting race the dogs
brought the convict to bay, and he
was handcuffed by Mr. L. a few min
utes thereafter, and carried back to
camps and pnt to work. Thus those
fifteen hounds stayed the steps of a
villain who might now have been
at large upon the community free to
again perpetrate his peculiar criminal
propensity. The dogs did not hurt
him in the least, and Ool. Lockett in
formed us that notwithstanding the
many chase9 that havo been necessa
ry, only one convict has ever been
hurt by the dogs. That fellow swam
out into the middle of a pond, and
as the dog9 came up to him attempt
ed to drown them, when one caught
him by the reck and held him till the
guard could swim his horso out and
capture the villain. Very often
“trusty” convicts volunteer to allow
these hounds to track them, in order
that they may be kept in thorough
training.
Col. Lockett informs ns that he has
abnut thirty desperadors among his
convicts, and that they fear the dogs
more than chains, walls or human
guard; and that there is not one of
that thirty who would not murder a
man or woman for a half dollar.
Wc expect shortly to gather up full
particulars of the whole system, and
to present to our readers a candid
statement of tho entire arrangement
at the camps of Col. Lockett’s com
pany.
Our Job Printing Department.
We call the business man’s atten
tion to tho News Job Printing Pro

borders, presses, etc., on hand. The
style of Job Typo is as variable as

BUSINESS ! BUSINESS I
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MESSRS. WELCH
A BACON.
There is perhaps no city in tbe
South so small as Albany, which con
tains such a number of large business
houses as we have here. They are
an honor to our section,' and reflect
credit upon the energy, vim and pro
gressive liberality or onr business
men. One of the leading of
these mam math establishments is
that of
MESSRS. WELCH A BACON,
Warehouse, Cotton Factors, Commis
sion Merchants, and dealers in Gen
eral Merchandise. One of the most
prominent buildings in the city is
their
laroe”wabehouse,
fronting 316 feet on Washington
street and 210 feet on Pino. The
buildings are thoroughly equipped
for the large business transacted
within the walls. To give some idea
of the immensity of their cotton bus
iness, we may mention the fact that
last season this house handled about
SIXTEEN THOUSAND BALES.
Upon entering tbe. lower door on
Pine street first man on hand is Mr.
John Henderson, the efficient weigh
er. He has long experience In the
business, is honest, capable, and en
tirely reliable. “Short weights” are
not known to John. Surrounding
Mr. H. to a full corps of colored men,
who occupy the positions of rollers
and markers, all first-class fellows,
quick, active and reliable. Coining
on through tbe bnildlng, towards
Washington street, we next pass
through the sales-room, where
MISSES. E. L. WIGHT AND J. D. CD EVES
are found watting npon the cotton
buyers, exhibiting samples, and tra
ding off tho fleecy staple for tbe great
markets of the world. Next we past
the
SANCTUM SANCTORUM
of the “big bosses” of the establish
ment. Major Rob’t. J. Bacon hero
conducts the business correspondence,
and the brain power of Mr, L. E
Welch and himself work together for
the welfare of their business. Then
we reach the
. COUNTING ROOM
where Mr. Richard Robiuson is bead
book-keeper and cashier, with Mr.
Jno. W. Flint, and one or two other
able assistants. Hero thonsands up
on thousands of dollars change hands,
and everything works with clock-like
precision. Then comes the
GENERAL RETAIL STORE.
This is presided over by Capt. E. L.

lend as head man. He to assisted
by a most excellent team of first-class
salesmen. Judge B. A. Collier, Messrs
J. B. Forrester, S. B. Wight, J. D.
Gilbert, Charley Wight aud Robert
Billingslea. This department con
tains a large and most magnificent
stock, consisting in part of blankets,
jeans, trunks, coats, thread, bleach
ing?, flannels ai d linens; sheetings
and shirtings, dress goods and cali
cos, gents’ and ladies’ underwear,
saddles, harness and bridles, hats for
both sexes, crockery, clothing, boots
and shoes; and in the grooery line
] latent and common flour, sugar, cof-
i ee and tea, lard, hams, canned goods,
hardware, plows, bolts, screws,
hinges, saws, chisels, axes, hammers,
drawing knives, coal scuttles, etc.;
woodenware, buckets, water kegs,
kerosene kegs, warranted to hold oil,
etc., etc.; pocket and table cutlery;
tin ware, plates, spoons, cups, water
sets, baby waiters, etc., etc.; willow-
ware, baskets of all sizes ana descrip
tion, including clothes baskets; to
baccos, all grades, in fact everything

Hr. J. D. Cheves also acts as sales
man for commercial fertilizers, and
the celebrated Stndebaker and Mil-
ban! wagobs, ot which this firm keeps
large stock.
Mr. J. R. Forrester’s connection
with this houso does not interfere
with his business as' tax collector.—
HU books will be open there, and he
will also continue his brokerage bus
iness. He now has on hand ready
for delivery a large amount of oats,
for seed or feed.
IN CONCLUSION.
Tho house of Welch k Bacon looks
like a business world within itself.—
It to bnsy,bustling, and always rising.
To Capt. E. L. Wight to dne in a very
;reat measure the success of the bus-
ness.

The.Other Way.
We were informed on last Satur
day by Mr. J. E. Billups, an entirely
reliable gentleman, that on the com
ing Tuesday, 23d InsL, one hundred
wagons of cotton were to start from
Warwlch, Worth county, bound for
Hawkiusvllle. How to this, good
frieuds? Albany is your market, and
it to just one-half the distance from
yon as Hawkinsville. Onr cotton
buyers cau and do pay as high mar
ket value for the staple as any interi
or town. Our warehousemen are the
best in the State; onr merchants can’t
be undersold, and yon know this,
and you know furthermore that yon
have a world of goods here from
which to make your selection.
Since the above was written, we
are informed that the wagons left An
the day appointed. Over two hun
dred bales were carried. Onrlnform-
ant says it was an “excursion,” and
that the Intention of the inaugurators
and participants was to “try” the
market. Arrangements were first
started for this move by Hawkins
ville warehousemen at the Warwick
barbecue held in July.

If anybody ever does enjoy a good
sqnare meal, its a set of newspaper
men who have worked till a mid
night hour, Then you may be as
sured the News force relished the
sumptnons supper spread before them
lost Wednesday night by the clever
proprietors of San Souci Restaurant
It was our first experience with a
plate of o'ysters served by the Brazil
ian process, and are now ready to
roach for the fact that John Irvin’s
coffee plantation affords the best cook
in the universe. Think of elegantly
served fish, oysters, birds on toast,
ham and heggs, and a thousand other
good things, and yon have a “bill of
faro” at Kemp k Mock’s.

Messrs. Sheffield k Bell.—It is
gratifying to us to see in Albany such
a large and complete stock of goods
as Messrs. Sheffield k Bell have now
iu store. It speaks well for tho town
and well for the enterprise and ener
gy of those live merchants. Their
large store is literally packed from
cellar to ceiling with a truly immense
stock of everything in tbe hardware
lino, and their goods are of the very
best quality. Mr. Bell, manager of
this establishment, brings into his
bnsiness ripe experience and tireless
enterprise, and to building up a trade
that is an honor to Albany.
Dr. Thos. J. Ralac,
Physician to the Georgia Penlten'
tlary, was in our city last wook. It
seems that the Penitentiary invostl'
gating commlttoo was not fully oon
vinced of the correctness of the re
port from Col. Lockett’s camps; so
they instructed Dr. Raine to come
down and mako a personal iuspec
tlon. Thu Doctor reports that it to
is the most cleanly prison in tho Stato,
that the convicts generally aro en
joying better health than elsewhere,
and that the first report was entirely
1 correct.
