residence of Col. J. P. Oliver, demolishing
a chimney, tearing through the house, ut
terly destroying his clock and mantle-
piece, killing bis dog under the house, and
severely shocking Mrs. Oliver. Dr. Salmon

The difference between wbat the Quaker

The beliefs of the orthodox friends and

him to have been more than an upright
and moral man. With the schism in doc
trine, there has crept in a change in the
manner of dealing with the world. The
Separatists, or Hickites, do Dot adhere
closely to the rules of the parent sjciety,
and many of them are engaged in prohib
ited occupations. They are in the ma
jority in Philadelphia to-day both as to
wealth and to numbers. The two sects,
however, retain the “plain”—thee
and thou - language, but in doctrine and
dress they are opposed—the orthodox re
taining the' conventional grab, and the
Hicksites affecting the worldly color and
worldly cut. The ceremonies in the meet
ing bouses in each faction are similar.
The men sit on one side and the women
on the other. Not a word is spoken until
some person present feels “moved by the
spirit” to say something. This may mean
an address lasting half an hour, or it may
mean, perhaps, only one word. It is a
well-remembered fact that at the yearly
meeting in 1859 the assemblage remained
in perfect silence for the unusually long
period of three hours, and then a woman
arose and uttered the single word:
“War!”
She was followed by a man who ex
claimed in a loud tone:
“Thousands to be Rlain and thousands
made free!”
As all prophetic utterances are noted
and remembered, this was quoted years
afterward as a fulfilled prophecy. Occa
sionally there will be an eloquent address
made on moral ethics. Sometimes the
theme has no relation whatever to doc
trinal points or morality. Unless “moved
by the spirit,” a Quaker never thinks of
speaking or changing his position in meet
ing. At the Fourth and Green streets
meeting house, where there is also a
school, a wooden partition is put up to
separate the sexes while they pass lrom
the building.
Quaker marriages are very simple.
When the young man seeks the hand of a
demure maid in a poke bonnet, he ac
quaints her parents with his desire. The
meeting is notified and a committee is ap
pointed to make inquiriry concerning each
of the persons who seek to become one. If
everything is found to be satisfactory, the
friends and relatives are invited to assem
ble together, and there the high contract
ing parties promise each other, verbally
and in writing, attested by witnesses, to
cling to each other until death do them
part. The promise is never broken. Such
a thing as a divorce between Quakers is
unheard of, and it is believed there is no
case on record. There are no groomsmen
nor blushing bridesmaids at a Quaker wed
ding. Neither is there benediction nor a
ministerial fee. The ceremony is con
ducted inathoroughly unsentimental man
ner, and is simply a binding business con
tract which is to'lait through life.
Quakers are poor customers for lawyers.
Litigation among them is rare, and they
avoid, it as much as possible with those
who are not members of the society. It is
one ol the tenets of the faith that differ
ences shall be settled by arbitration. War
is aohorrent to them. They are command
ed to suffer imprisonment, death, if need
be. rather than join with others in the
willfill destruction of human life. During

Large quantities of Georgia made cider
is sold at Albany at wholesale. Most of it
comes from the fruit farms near Marehall-
ville. A number of casks, in front ot a
leading establishment, attracted attention,
not only from the quantity, but also from
their showy labels and attractive appear
ance. “We sell a good deal of cider now,”
said a salesman, “frequently sending out
fifteen or twenty kegs daily. We have re
ceived already this season several ship
ments as large as this one. Most of it
goes out to the dry counties. It is taking
the place of whisky among them.”
News reached Macon Saturday morning
rf the shooting of a negro out in Union-
vllle Friday night, about two and a half
miles lrom the city. Bill Wilder was the
victim, and the deed was done by Mr. Al-
pbonso Price of the firm of E. R. & S. C.
Price of Macon. His brother, Mayor Price,
went out to the place and made investiga
tions. 11 was learned that Friday night
Mr. Price was walking up Columbus road
when he met Wilder, stopped and talked
to him a few moments. DuriDg the con
versation he felt Wilder trying to slip his
hand iu his pocket as if to rob him. He
told the negro to stop, but he would not
do so, and fear of having his money taken
from him, he drew his pistol and fired one
shot at him, which entered the abdomen
and passed through the body, lodging
under the skin in the back. When the
negro fell, Price went to the house near
by aud tol 1 tha inmates of what had hap-
E ened. After this bis movements are not
nown, but he had an engagement with
Alexander Cherry to go to the country to
purchase cattle, and as he was not in Ma
con Saturday, it is supposed that he has
gone on bis mission. The negro died about
11 o’clock Saturday and the coroner went
out and held an inquest over the body. As
there were no witnesses to the affair, the
jury's verdict was that the deceased came
to his death from a gun shot, fired from
a weapon in hands of party or parties un
known to them.
ALABAMA IN BRIEF.
The Decatur Pressed Stock and Com'
mon Brick company will commence
makiug brick in their yards in the suburbs
of that city, on the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad to-day.
The New England Building and Invest
ment company of Decatur has been organ
ized with a capital stock of £30,000. Their
property lies on Moulton Heights, west of
the city, where they propose building a
residence suburb.
A fight in which brick bats did ugly
work occurred in Decatur on Saturday af
ternoon. Frank Leonard twhite:, propri
etor of the Windsor hotel bar, hit a negro
in the face because the negro kicked
Leonard’s dog. In return the negro struck
Leonard, inflicting a frightful and painflil,
though not serious, wound. The negro
escaped arrest.
A Cane Creek special says: The Csne
Creek poet office was known in the county
for years as “Bit Nose,” based on the fact
that in olden times there were five men
living in the beat who had their noses bit
off in fighting. A few days since the an
cient reputation was renewed on Sunday
morning by Pearce England biting ofl the
nose, in a fight, of Rev. and Prof. Car tea
While the affair is serious, it created no
little fan among the natives.
Tbe Calera Democratic and Conservative
club was permanently organized Friday
night, at Pilgreen’s opera honse, with a
membership of abont fifty, including some
of the most prominent and influential cit
izens of this town. The constitution
adopted was the platform of the last dem
ocratic national and state conventions.
The officers elect to serve daring the ap
proaching campaign are aa follows: Dr.
J- “. Gunn, president; R. G. McCall, vice-
president; F. M. Vance and W. C. Cope#,
secretaries; Major Wm. D. Hoggins, treas
urer. After transacting business of im-
ortanee to the clnb, the mooting ad-
"“MduntU Friday night, April 20. It i.
ived that the membership of the dab
will be more than doubled by that Him.
Friends, whose hearts were fired with
patriotism, disobeyed this law, and weut
to the front. They were promptly read
out of the meeting. Among them were
descendants of families that came
over with William Penn—the Wains,
the Nobles, the Haines "and the Deacons.
Howard R. Deacon was the first member
of the society in Philadelphia to suffer for
his disobedience. Music is forbidden the
orthodox Quaker. “It is frivolous and
calculated to take the mind off the serious
in life and prevent tbe understanding.”
Richard Peterson, of the firm of Stuart &
Peterson, the stove manufacturers, was
turned out ot the meeting for buying a
piano. It may be remarked right here
that there are several rosy-cheeked, bright-
eyed little Quakeresses who can warble
like thrushes, but as they sing only to
their square-backed chairs, they do not
come under the ban. The dealing in, or
handling of spirituous liquors is strictly
forbidden. Nothing is said of malt liquors,
which is probably why Frederick Collins,
an orthodox Quaker, made a fortune as
the partner of William Massey, in brewing
XXX ale.
A Quaker never makes oath. He avoids
as far as possible coming where such pro
cedure is necessary, but If obliged to make
a declaration, the falsity of which would
subject him to legal penalties, he affirms.
Nor does he observe any holy days or feast
days. He believes that the obligation to
regard one day more than another ceased
with the Mosaic dispensation. The visit
ing ot theaters, race courses, dancing halls,
or the investment in any kind of lotteries
—grab-bogs in church fairs included—are
declared to be incompatible with the
teachings of the society, and are forbid
den. No matter what station in life you
occupy, a Quaker does not use the prefix
“Mr.” As soon as your christlau name is
given, yon are addressed by it whenever
necessary.
As small as the Quaker population is, its
is felt in the business

life of the town. The mania for spec
tion is less pronounced here than ut t
other city in the Union. There is more
solidity in investments—fewer fictitious
values. There are standing Quaker mon
uments of what thrift and industry will do
when compared with the feverish race for
wealth that is shoretning life everywhere.
Isaiah V. Williamson is another wealthy
Quaker. He is worth between £15,000,000
and £17,000,000. Dry goods produced the
bulk of this, but part of it came from in
vestments in stocks. Not speculation.
Goodness alive, no! When Mr. William
son went on “the street” he bought out
right and the certificate was handed to
him. He lives plainly. His expenses for
shelter, food ana raiment will not exceed
£1200 a year.
Clement M. Biddle of the Biddle Hard
ware company, is another example of
business tact and sterling integrity. He is
member of the Hickdte branch and is
very wealthy.
Joshua L. Bailey, orthodox, has made
his influence felt in the political destinies
of the city, as well as being a philan
thropist.
Samuel R. Shipley, president of the
Provident Life ana Trust company, is an
other influential orthodox Quaker. So is
Wlstor Brown and so is John Faraum.
John B. Garrett and Phillip C. Garrett are
prominent as careful business men. They
are wealthy. Friend Phillip showed him
self to be a fighting Quaker in the way he
pitched into the oorrupt political ring and
helped wipe it ont.

popular papers published in the South, and it is
gaining faster in influence and circulation than any
weekly paper published in Georgia or Alabama. The
people take it, and agents make money easily and
rapidly canvassing for it, because:
