A Mule Hies From What Appears to Have been mi
Attack of Hydrophobia.
A Mr. Culpepper who lives near Society Hill,
Ala., lost a fine mule last Monday under very
strange circumstances. The mule on Sunday
was as well as he ever was, but on Monday
morning, when Mr. Culpepper went out to feed
his stock he saw that he acted very strange, and
something very unusual with him, he was
vicious, trying to bite every one who went near
him. This alarmed Mr. Culpepper, and after try
ing to secure him he fastened up the lot and
watched him. The mule appeared
to get worse and soon wns foaming at the
mouth, becoming perfectly enraged, and would
apparently try to kill himself by running against
the barn, posts and fence. Our informant says
the mule would bite and tear off great pieces of
flesh from his legs, and that they could hear his
teeth grate against the bones. He kept getting
worse until finally, about the middle of the day,
he became exhausted and fell to the ground, and
in a tew hours died. He exhibited all the symp
toms of hydrophobia, and was evidently mad.
His owner said if he had ever been bitten by a
mad dog lie did not know it. The mule hud
never been vicious, but was gentle and kind.
Any one could handle him. (

the Chattahoochee river, wai in the city. A

in t he library at 8:30 o’clock. At that hour about
forty members were present, and the best of hu"

If we ask more, we’ll get more. I have no doubt
that our new congressman from this district will
help us when he is in Washington. He was
raised here and he knows our needs. Still, no
representative will be able to do much if the en.
gineer doe? not recommend it.”
Captain Hochstrnsser said: “I know of no
reason why the Coosa’s appropriation should be
larger than ours. But Captaiir Hoxie’s prede
cessor had » very large territory for a district;
and he saw little of us and we saw little of him,
necessarily. The district is now smaller. Captain
i Hoxie is with us to-night, and we can make our
| needs known to him.”
j Captain T. E. Blanchard said: “It is true, we
have been too modest. We have sent one or two
delegations to Washington to urge our claims,
and in discussing their expenses for the trip the
doubt was expressed as to whether they
would be practically recognized. All that has
been done since has been done through the en
gineers. Whenever we ask for an appropriation
it is always cut down from the amount asked.

At this juncture, in reply to a question from a
chants, stcainboatmen and business men gener
ally might moot Captain Hoxie and cor suit with
him in regard to the improvement of the Chat
tahoochee river. A great many, he said, were
not aware of the work that had been done on the
river; and he felt sure that all present would be
glad to hear any suggestions that might be
made. Bef ire hearing these suggestions, how
ever, he desired to read a paper he had prepared
from the annual report of the chief of engineers
for the year 1880. The paper read as follows:
The annual report for the chief of engineers for
1880 shows that the present project for the im
provement of the Chattahoochee was adopted in
1873, and the object is to afford a channel 100 feet
wide and four feet deep at low water from Chat
tahoochee, Fla., where the Flint and Chattahoo
chee rivers eomc together to Columbus, Ga., the
head of navigation.
The total amount appropriated for improve

Is $174,146.17.

member. Captain Hoxie said: “The amount
the Chattahoochee river appropriation now un
expended is $6700. The new work boat which
has just arrived is a power ful machine. Wo can
do almost anything with her. Her running
expenses are about $1000 a month.”
* Hon. John Peabody then took the floor and
said: “1 have been here ever since our river was
a clear running stream. Perhaps others here
can say the some thing. Clearings and land
slides have caused the change. Landslides are
much greater and much more frequent than
they used to bo. I want to call attention
to one fact that should be noted, and well con
sidered. The Chattahoochee river is the con
necting link between two great systems of rail-
ticket which threatens the defeat of the demo
cratic ticket so fiir ns Lee is concerned, and it be
hooves every one who wishes lo insure the suc
cess of the democratic nominees to be at his post
and contest every inch of gr ound. Let no demo

for the success of the democratic county ticket.

Warm Springs, Ga., July 27.-The LaGrange
Light Guards arrived here yesterday morning at
» o’clock, and will spend one week learning the
duties of camp'life.
Immediately on arriving, the hoys went to
work with all the zeal and precision of veteran
soldiers. The tents were soon put up and the
camp put in fine order for their occupancy.
First Lieutenant P. G. Awtrey is in command
today Captain James II. Pitman will arrive to
night and take chnrge of the encampment.
Last night guards were mounted and the
sentries’ calls for the corporal of the guard occa
sionally broke the stillness of the midnight air.
The boys are in line spirits and are determined to
have an enjoyable time; to learn something of
the duties of camp life; to deport themselves like
gentlemen, ns they are, and thereby sustain the
past reputation of their gallant company.
Under the comniand of Captain Pitman, assist
ed by Lieutenants Awtry and E. B. Clark, the
company will soon become proficient in the dis
charge of the duties of our citizen soldiery.

Since 1883 the receipts of cotton to Columbus |
have fallen off, caused by the improved condition
of our river, making it possible for railroads to i

to eastern points and thus increase very mire- 1

The secretary then read a lfiter signed by all
the pilots and piasters of the river, showing that
navigation was daily becoming more difficult on
account of land-slides and snugs.
Capt. C. A. Redd said he rose to make an in*
quiry which he hoped some man would be able to
answer. He asked : “ If, as it has been shown,
the Chattahoochee river does a much larger busi
ness than the Coosa, and yet the appropriations
for the former have been only about one-third as
large as those for the latter, where does the fiuilt
lie?” Captain Redd, continuing, said: “We
have done all we could. We have compiled sta
tistics showing our needs, and we have made ap
peals. Is the ftiult with our representatives or
with the engineers?”
Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, in replying to Captain
Redd, said : “Not long since, as a delegate to
the harbor convention in Savannah, l introduced
a resolution into, that body making special in*
quiries upon this very subject. But I can give
one or two reasons myself. The fact is our board
of trade here has been entirely too modest in its
requests. When we start in this matter in better
shape we will have better results. In talking
with some gentlemen at the door just now, 1
mentioned the very firct embodied in the paper
just read—that the Coosa river excels us in pro-
But Alabama and Florida are also interested,
and the services of their representatives should
be enlisted. Let us get over our modesty and
demand forty or fifty thousand dollars.”
Mr. G, Gunby Jordan—“Let’s learn the Cooso
lick.” [Laughter.]
Mr. Peabo3y-“Let us be like our friend Schuess-
ler here (pointing toward Mr. L. G. Schuessleri,
who asks seventy-five cents for un article that he
expects to get fifty cents for. [Laughter.] Let
us get over our modesty. If we ask for a big ap
propriation we may get it. It we don’t ask, we
won’t get it.”
The chairman—“The business now before us
is Capt. Blanchard’s motion to appoint a com
mittee to go to Washington and urge this appro
priation.”
The motion was put by the chairman and car
vied unanimously.
Capt. Redd said he hoped that Capt. Hoxie
might be enabled to do some work for us that
would be a lasting monument to him.
Capt. Hoxie—‘* I am not anxious fora monu
ment Just yet.” ( Laughter).
Mr. G. Gunby Jordan—“ The Tennessee people
have an appropriation that beats the Coosa plan.
(Laughter.) Following their plan, let
us have a convention including representatives
from all parts of Georgia, Florida and Alabama
that are interested in the Chattahoochee river.
The Muscle .Shoals convention is on that order.
When they ask for an appropriation they get it.”
Captain Redd moved and it was carried that a
committee of three be appointed to arrange for
a Cii a‘.tahoochee river valley convention, to meet
at such a time and place as may be deemed
proper.
The Chairman—“I desire to thank Captain
Hoxie for hi* presence here to-night,*for what he
has already done for ns, and especially do I desire
to thank him for what we expect him to do.”
[Laughter.]
Captain Hoxie—“There is always a general
scramble for appropriations. Each representa
tive appears to want to get it all. Until this
ceases there is little hope of sections needing ap
propriations worst getting their full share. From
a telegram I received to-night I fear that the
river and harbor bill will fail.”
The meeting then adjourned.

Grand Rally at Mid’olilster Hall—Able a ml Elo
quent Addresses liy Col. A* Slmver of Mont
gomery and Col. W. H. Barnes of OpelikM.
There was a grand rally of the “unterritied” at
McCollister hall in Browneville last night to
listen to addresses from distinguished gentlemen
on the issues involved in the present state and
county campaign.
In a brief manner Col. Holland introduced Col.
L. A. Shaver, of Montgomery, who spoke l’or half
an hour on state politics, drawing a comparison
between republican and democratic administra
tions, and showing in unmistakable figures the
greatly improved condition of the state under
democratic rule. Col. Shaver’s address abounded
in wit and anecdote, and was frequently inter
rupted by applause. No sensible man could have
listened to it without being convinced that the
curing appropriations. Why is this? ft is be- , true welthre of Alabama rests with the democ-
cause of the fact that the representative from , racy
that district at one time worked hard
for these results. Why, on that river
they just used up Dr. Felton’s name jn naming
J^oats after him. It was William H. Felton, W.
II. Felton, and finally they got down to Etowah
Bill. | Laughter.] Our representatives have prob
ably done their best; but better things still can
be done if we manage right. I was unaware that
this meeting was to be held until a few moments
ago. But I have some statistics which show the
possibilities of the great valley which is tributary
to our river. The population of this valley can
now be safely stated as 350,000; number of bales
of cotton as 225,000; value fiirm products as $16,-
000,000, and value of real and personal property
as about $60,000,000.
Out of the 2,836,000 acres of land in this valley
only 1,145,000 were in cultivation in 1880, and if
balance was improved it would make a total pro
duction of half a million bales of cotton.
Colonel Barnes was next introduced. In his
usual forcible style he addressed the large audi
ence for nearly an hour. He demonstrated be
yond question that the hope of the state and
country lies with the organized democracy.
Neither the temperance party nor republican
party are efficient to assume political control of
the state or nation, and as for independents, he
denounced them in unmeasured terms. Lie com
pared the record and capacity of Messrs. Crayton
and Robinson, candidates for the probate judge-
ship of Lee county, and showed clearly that Mr.
Crayton is the man for the place, having both the
experience and capacity. He showed up the
radical leaders of Lee in a very bad light, and
denounced in strong terms the independents who
are ready to affiliate with them. He commended
the patriotic course of Col. Holland in sacrificing
j his personal interests for the good of his party.
] He concluded with a strong appeal to the large
crowd to stand by the nominees and work for

Sunday, Rev. Mr. Macdonnell, pastor of St. Luke
church, preached an interesting and impressive
sermon. It was intended to protract the services,
but owing to unfavorable circumstances it was
decided best not to do so. The fourth quarterly
conference will be held at Pierce chapel.

With the boom in the general prosperity of the
city taken into consideration, our city got more
than her share of the Louisiana State Lottery
June Drawing yesterday. No. 18,145 drew the
capital prize of |150,000. A lady in this city hud
a fifth ticket. Some one here was bound to get it
for it has been demonstrated that money cannot
get away from Kansas City. This |30,000 makes
about $80,000 drawn by residents here since Janu
ary 1. Mrs. Anna M. Cross is the lucky possessor
of the dip of paper which by yesterday’s turn of
the wheel entitles her to $30,000. She is a widow,
aged about 35, and she has lived here for about
three years.—Kansas City Times, June I6tli.
