tofore, but it has again been doubly demon
strated to-day.
There has for some time been a gallant and
commendable rivalry between a number of gun
clubs in the surrounding communities. There
have been several shooting matches as a result
of this rivalry, some of them having been held
at Heale, Columbus, and other places. Seale de
termined to outstrip them all and she has done
so. The Seale gun club and their friends in the
immediate vicii ity determined to invite all the
gun clubs in reach to Seale and regale them
with a big barbecue. To-day was set for the
time and bigger success has never been known
in this country.
At an early hour this morning the people began
to pour into the town. They came from every
section of the county, in carriages, buggies,
wagons and on horseback. This large assembly
was augmented on the arrival of the up passen
ger train at 8:30 o’clock bringing the Union
Springs gun club and many of their friends, be
sides many others from points along the road.
An hour later a special train brought in the two
Columbus gun clubs, accompanied by about 100
Columbusites, the Oswicliee club and the Jerir.

KILO AND ENSILAGE.
Mr. O. L. Peacock Corrects tin Error or Two
Into Which a Correspondent Falls.
RufSELL County, Ala., August 26.—Enquirer-
Sun: In your Fortson correspondent’s article of
yesterday on the silo of O. L. Peacock he makes
me say to the question, “Do you think that corn
would keep without cutting up?” “No, I do not.”
I am glad to be able to correct him on this
error. Corn, as well as anything else, will keep
without cutting, but it requires more weight to
press it in a compact mass so as to exclude the
air, and I hope that your correspondent will try
this way of putting up the corn that h 5 now has!
ready for the silo. He informed me that he had
one well under way. but the trouble was that he
had no cutter or engine to cut up his ensilage.
If he will try the whole stalk it may prove to him
the importance of ensilage. He also makes me
say “that it iurnishes green feed for cow* all
winter.” If he will remember, we were speaking
of rye and barley as pasture after the ensilage
crop was removed from the land. It being taken
off* early, it gave the farmer an early start for fall
and winter pasture. Ensilage does not keep
green. It cooks in the silo, and this turns it
brown. The rye and barley pasture will color,
while the ensilage will make the butter.
I promised some time since to give yon a de
scription of my silo and mode of building it, as
well as Hie way to make ensilage, if any of your
farmer readers would like to know about it. I re
gret that there is so little desire to know about a
thing that must alone prove the way to success
for our farmers. Stock and pastures must bring
about the change that every one professes to so
much desire. We have good summer pastures,
but no winter. The silo will furnish this at less
cost than anything else. So let everyone try.

A Commendable Cause.
A number of the best colored cit izens of the
city met at the colored Odd Fellows’ hall lust
night for the purpose of taking into considera
tion the best method of devising some plan for
establishing an orphan’s home. Among those
fire-sent were E. H. Miller, J. T. Shepherd, D. W.
Fchols, W. E Terry, A. I). Howard, T. H. Price,
J. C. Maund and W. H. Spencer. A resolution
was adopted setting forth the necessity for an in
stitution where colored children can bo cared for
and providing for a public meeting to discuss the
matter. E. H. Miller, W. E. Terry, T. t. Price,
P. W. Echols and W. II. Spencer wore appointed
n committee to arrange for the meeting.
This undertaking by the colored people is a
most laudable enterprise and one which should
meet with hearty encouragement.

between the clubs, and thought it an ex

broke out it was the hoys of the south who could
bring down the squirrels from the tallest oak or
shoot the swi.i-winged birds ns they fluttered
through the air, that drove back the invader
from our homes in the violent struggle for liberty
and a cause that will never die.
Mr. Canly, of the Oswicliee Gun Club, respond
ed in an elegnnt and eloquent speech of ten
minutes, in which Seale was made the recipient
of many flattering compliments, all of which
were ilchly desei ved. He was followed by Mr.
Powell, of Union Springs, whose remarks were
quite appropriate to the occasion.
From the court house the great concourse of
people adjourned to the shooting park, and then
the fun began. The clubs that entered the con
test were ranged in the following oitler: Colum
bus, 17 strong; Union Springs, 21; Oswicliee, 12;
Columbus Soutlisido, 12; Jernigan 14, and Seale
21.
This made three different contests—the first
wus for the best 12, the second for the best 14,
the third for the best 17. Beside there was a
contest between Seale and Union Springs for an
equal number, both these clubs having 21 men.
Soon after the shooting began dinner was an
nounced, and just such another barbecue has
never been seen in this country. There were
about thirty mutton, twenty-five pigs and several
beeves that were cooked to the very highest per
fection of the culinary art. We knew hese gen-t

were such cooks it is probable that they hardly

Brannon, Messrs. Dave Ingram, John Ware and
W. H. Washington took charge of the barbecue
pit, and through all the silent hours of the night
they watched the toasting pig and mutton until
this morning, when they had ns delightful brown

There was only one incident to mar the pleas

of an angry looking cloud when the dinner was
about half over. This worried none, however,
except the managers of the barbecue, as the j
guests were all too happy and too much engaged j
in discussing the choice viands to be disturbed by 1
a little thing like that. <

The Groom Gets Radiy Leri.
Yesterday morning we gave an account of the
ejection of three negroes from the first -class pas
senger coach on the Southwestern ra ilroad at
Geneva. The negroes were u'om Tuskegee and
were en route to Macon, where one of them,
named Brown, was going to get
married. On their arrival at Macon
they 7 were loud in their complaints about their
treatment, and threatened to sue the company.
Brown got married and yesterday morning the
party bought first-class tickets for their return
home, and demanded of Superintendent Kline
first-class accommodations. They reinsert to ride
in the second-class car, so Captain Kline substi
tuted for it a first-class coach instead of allowing
them to go into the car with the white passen
gers.
When the passenger train reached this city
the negro party had the car all to themselves and
seemed to feel as big as lords. But the worst for
them had not come. The Geneva episode was
repeated at Opelika with a few extra touches
thrown in. The following special shows

been Atlanta’s cry that she would have the pen

Terminal Facilities Wanted.
From a gentleman who is well posted
and on the inside in such matters it was
learned yesterday that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad was quietly looking around
here for property suitable for terminal fa
cilities with a view to a purchase. This
company expect to come to Birmingham,
guard house. He was carried before Recorder
Barnes and fined $9.50 for disorderly conduct. A
warrant was sworn out before Justice Gorman by
Mr. E. M. Jones for Brown for using abusive, in
sulting and obscene language in the presence of
females. He was arrested by Sheriff Gorman,
carried before Justice Gorman, plead
guilty to the offense charged and was
fined $25 and costs, which he paid, and was dis
charged. He had just married and his bride was
carried on the train.
For Tax Collector.
I announce myself as a candidate for Tax
Collector of Muscogee county (election
January next), and respectfully solicit the sup
port of the voters of said count y. My reasons for
this early announcement are twofold—first. I
want the office ; second, my friend, the present
Tax Collector, has taught me by precept that an
early and persistent canvass is attended with
success. Oliver P. Poe.

Mutual Life Policies Agrnin,
A short time ago Mr. Wiiliam Heath, of Lake-
wood, N. J., died. Many years ago he took out
two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In
surance Company of Now York, one for $15,000
and the other for $5000. When these claims were
settled the company paid $24,733, the $4733 being
a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had
allowed to remain unused. The total premiums
paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company
returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or
$4.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one
of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage
of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, which is the largest and strongest
company in the world, and which, by strict econ
omy of management, is enabled to make better
returns to its policy-holders than any other com
pany.—Atlantic City Review.
TWO CLIPPINGS FROM THE BOSTON COURIER
Charles E. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., had a
life policy of $1000 in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which amount was paid to his heirs
last week. The total premiums paid had
amounted to only $70.84. Caleb Thompson, of
South Braintree, Mass., had an endowment pol
icy in the same company which matured and was
paid to him, the total amount being $1231.82.
The policies in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York pay the holder at settle
ment about 5'{, per cent, compound interest on
the investment.

Boston and New York.
Boston commercial circles seem to be in
about as bad a way as New York commer
cial circles. There appears to be some
thing wrong with both. The New* York
rascals are more considerate, however.
They do not steal from individuals but
from the public, and the personal ruin of
innocent victims has not followed discov-
people are determined that nothing like this
shall occur here. The negroes attempting it act
foolishly. It all occurred in a minute, before the
railroad officials knew anything about it. They
wer e in no way responsible and knew nothing
of it until it was over.
