that unless some answer is made to them,
many Democrats in Cobb county will not
vote for Mr. Rice.
Hiflingdown the numerous artful flings
made by the Third Party candidate, which
he has used with all the telling effect of a
brilliant stump speaker, the most serious
charges upon which Mr. Kiee.is arraigned
are:
1. He was a refugee at Nassau during the
war when his fellow citizens were fighting
the common enemy.
2. At the close of the war he procured
the settlement of a claim by taking oath
he had b4en Joyal to the North.
Jn answer to these charges Mr. Rice de
clares that he went to Nassau under a com-
mis-ion from the Confederate Government,
which fact he has the paper to estaolish
beyond controversion.
The claim against the Federal Govern-
ment at the close of the war, was made by
the father of Mr. Rice, who was a Union
man, and the latter simply made affidavit
to that eflect.

these answers to the charges to day.

are growing richer at the expense of the
country. If this assertion were true it
would confront the people of Georgia with
a very serious problem. The assertion,
however, is not true. The tax digests from
all the counties, now in the office of the
Comptroller-General, shows that a very
fair proportion of the increase in the ma
terial wealth of the Htate, the taxable
property, is contributed by the county,
or the agricultural interests. There has
been, indeed, a marked increase in the
values of all strictly agricultural property
interests. For instance, in improved
lands, the increase this year is {2.141,000.
In wild lands the increase is {103,000.
This increase in the value of wild lands
is rendered all the more notable from the
fact that there *s a decrease in the acreage
from last year of over 200,000 acres. Last
year the wild land acreage was 6,501,691;
this year it is 6,300,689.
The increase in the value of plantations
and mechanical tools over last year is
9120,785.
The increase in the value of oorn, cot
ton, etc., on hand the first day of April
was{337,657. The increase in horses, mules,
hogs, etc., is {99,064.
To this may be fairly added the increase
in the value of household and kitchen fur
niture which is{411,238.
All this certainly indicates that the
Georgia farmer is not losing ground iu ma
terial, substantial prosperity.
UNTAXED RAILROADS.
The railroads of Georgia show an in
creased mileage over last year or 400 miles,
and a total valuation of {29,304,127, which
is an increase over last year of {4,404,535.
This doos not, of course, include the rail
roads whoie charters exempt them from
taxation. Home figures showing the vast
untaxed railroad property of the State will
not be amiss.
The total railroad mileage of Georgia is
3768 miles. Of this, 2775 mil.s pay tax,
and 993 do not.
The uutnxed mileage is made up by the
following roads: The Georgia, 307 miles;
the South western, 304 miles; the Central,
from Savannah to Macon, 191J miles; the
Western and Atlantic, 13S miles; the Au
gusta and Savannah, 53 miles.
The exempt roads, it will be observed,
are the most valuable railroad properties
in the State. What their aggregate value
is would run very high into the millions.

Not Afraid of Fever, but Doesn’t Like
Refugee*.
Auburn, Sept. 29 —The little town of
Auburn was very much excited over the
presence of four refugees from Jaokson
stopping over here, and the Council met
to discuss the advisability of quarantining
against all infected districts. There were
several prominent physicians present at
the meeting, and they all agreed that yel
low fever could not live herd, and that
there was no danger, as Auburn is 821 feet
above tide water, but a3 there was
so much excitement over the pres
ence of the refugee-, the Council
decided to fine any one stopping here {100,
if there was evidence that he had been in
any place infected with yellow fever with

A NOVEL COURT RECORD.
In the case of Thomas G. Holland against
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way Company, there has come up to the
Supremo Court as a part of the record, a
plaster-of-paris cast of the foot that was
injured by the road. The foot was a large
one and the mashing which it suffered did
not improve its general appearance. This
kind of evideuce is an entirely new thing
in t he Georgia Supreme Court, but is hard
ly as striking and unique as the tattooed
testament admitted to probate in England,
as described by Haggard in “Mr. Mee-
soon’s will.”

The surveying corps of the Americus,
Preston and Lumpkin Railroad has pitched
its camp near Col. J. M. Brannon’s, of
Longview. The surveyors were in town
this morning, and bought a good supply of
provision preparatory for their journey
through to Montgomery. The line as sur
veyed intersects the Mobile and Girard
Railroad about two miles east of Seale,
and runs north, striking the old Federal
road near Col. Brannon’s, thence west, and
will follow the road as near as possible. The
already prosperous town of Lengview is
looking forward for brighter days and an
acvance in the value of property. Every
one is sorry to see them leave Seale so far
out of the way, as it would be a great ad
vantage to have a competing line to this
place. The road, if built, will open up a
very prosperous territory, as no better
farming lands are to be found thau those
of northern Russell.
Sheriff H. T. Ragland is moving in, and
will take charge of the office next Mon
day. Mr. Chadwick, the present jailer,
will remove his family to the Gordon

Mr. James Henry, formerly of Villula,
has accepted a position with Messrs.
Hirsch Bros., where he will be glad to
serve his friends.

Mr. Lehey is the father of eight children,

Washington, SeDt. 29.—The Marine
Hospital Bureau is informed that there are
now 146 persons at Camp Perry and six in
the fever camp. Mr. McQuade, of the
Jacksonville Citizens’ Committee, suggests
to Dr. Hamilton that arrangements be
made so that physicians and acclimated
persons, especially those who have expe
rienced an attack of fever during this epi
demic, shall be exempted from the ten
d*ys quarantine at Camp Perry, after prop
erly fumigating their clothing and bag
gage. It is probable that this suggestion
will be adopted.
Dr. Hamilton has suggested that some of
the money contributed for the benefit of
the yellow fever sufferers be used in pay
ing the expenses of the poor persons who
have been detained in the quarantine for
ten days, and who have not money enough
to continue their journey

TROUBLE AROUND TY-TY.

Ty-Ty, Sept. 27.—There is, and has
been for so ne time past, considerable
sickness at Hillkdale. There are six or
Relief'Association ! white families living there, and I
are about *47,000, but this includes some
large bills for supplies that will be availa
ble this week. Considerable money and
supplies were sent to McClenny. The asso
ciation is ready to aid Fernaudina, but no
notice of need has been received from that
place, which has not raised its quarantine
against this city.
A Gainesville special to the Times Union
says Maj. N. R Gruell died this evening,
making three deaths since the fever broke
out, and one new case, Miss Hall, a niece
of Maj. Gruell, making nine cases in all.
No other suspects. There is great grief
over Maj. Grueli’s death. He sacrificed
himself for public good, volunteering to
fumigate the infected houses.
A special from Sanderson says: No new
cases. The Evening Metropolis resumed
publication to day, the proprietor and all
the employes but one having had the
fever.
WILL IMPROVE THE ROAD.
The Central’s Chief Say* Nothing of the New
Bonds But Does of the Improvement*.
Savannah, Sept. 29.—General Alexan
der was askea yesterday in regard to the
recent issue of bonds by the Central rail
road, but he was unwilling to give the de
tails of the negotiation. He would not
state the amount of bonds negotiated, but
believe there are some members of every
family sick with fever. Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward Wilcox lost another one of their
children Tuesday, a little girl, she being
the second one within about a month’s
time. They have two others that are now
down with the lever, but are thought to
be improving. Among others now sick
are Messrs. L. S. Gunter, James Williams,
Mrs Cross and her daughter, Mrs. Aman
da Graves and Miss Annie Locke.
Since the fair weather has come there
is a great demand for cotton Dickers here.
So eager are some of the farmers for help
that they have run the price for picking
up to 75 cents per 100 pounds and then
cannot get as much help as they
want. Mr. John R. Sutton, from just
across the river in Irvin county, said that
he had ten bales now in the field and
could not procure help to gather it. Mr.
Sutton brought into town early Monday
morning a two-horse wagon load of water
melons. They are probably the last of
the season. He sold very cheaply, as the
man who bought them was offering to sell
at six for 25 cents.

portion of the funds will be used as a

A HIGH personage suspected.
The Government suspects a high person
age of using Geffreken as an instrument.
If the trial threatens to reveal the original
source, Bismarck may hesitate about pro
ceeding. Neither Radeuberg, of the Deu
tsche Rundschau, nor Geffreken is likely j
to submit to two years penal servitude for
the betrayal of State secrets without pro- !
testing against being punished for a mere
exercise of their functions as journalists,
acting without bias against the State or
the Government.
BISMARCK SUSPECTS THE ENGLISH.
Bismarck is known to suspect the En
glish Court as the source of the publica
tion, hence the language of his statement
is directed against tne State Court.
The Chancellor’s outspoken declarations
have not tendered towards allaying party
strife over the diary. They have rather
excited public passion to a fever heat.
Nothing else is talked about in places of
resort, and furious quarrels are the fre
quent result. The Press, in its discussion
of the affair, reflects vigorously the party
strife.
A VILIFICATION OF THE DEAD.
Some official papers do not hisitate to
assail the memory of Frederick, villifying
noth his character and his intellect. The
Kolnische Ziitung says the diary shows
him to be a camplacent idealist, rich in
beautiful phrases, degeneralities and pride
is his plans for improving the world, but
poor in a practical statesman’s qualities.
The Berlin post says even at the risk of
damaging the memory of Frederick by
layjng bare his lamentable weakness, that
the interests of the empire required the
disclosure that the Crown Price, far from
being an active promoter of German unity,
formed a most serious obstacle in it.
It is difficult to believe that public sen
timent concurs in this semi-official attempt
to defame Emperor Frederick’s character,
which are especially contemptible on the
comments on which the attempt is made,
in terms of indignation to belittle his
mental powers and to disparage his aims.
The Borsen Courier, an organ of the
Liberalist, better represents the genuine
public feeling here in saying: It excites a
lively astonishment to see the press assail
Emperor Frederick with scant respect.
The Emperor must be indignant at the
conduct of people who are trying to please
him by detracting from his father. They
who are throwing dirt upon the memory
of Frederick, must judge William II
meanly, if tney suppose that their criti
cism excites in him auytbing but loathing
and contempt.
BISMARCK TOO OLD TO REMEMBER.
The Progressist press challenges the ac
curacy of Bismarck’s statements, discred
iting the diary. The Freizenvege Zeitung
points out that the Chancellor does not
give documentary proof of the correctness
of his associations. It says that the mem
ory of a man who is seventy-four years old
may be at fault in regard to occurrences of
seventeen years ago, and that the diary
written under the fresh impression of
events is less likety to be wrong.
It is a significant fact that the com
ments of the press, concurrent with the
tenor of private discussion, do not ques
tion the authority of the diary. The rea
sons that Prince Bismarck advices against
its genuineness are felt to be insincere
and completely ignored outside of the
official world. There is not one man in a
thousand who refuses to accept the diary
as a faithful record written By Emperor
Frederick’s own hand.
THE EMPRESS EXONERATED.
The court circle exonerate the Em
press Frederick from any knowledge of
the publicatiop. The stories published in
Frencn papers of a violent quarrel between
Empress Frederick and Emperor William,
and that the former fears that spies
are set on her movements, are certainly
false. The Empress lives an utterly re
tired life. The members of her own cir-
all ihey can to
grand success.
In nearly every instance exhibitors, in
stead ot withdrawing their exhibits, have
promised to make them more complete.
The change is especially favorable in the
live stock deoartments, and in the poultry
and bench snows, as the weather will be
cooler and all the live stock era stand the
confinement better in the pens.
Superintendent T. J. Hunt leaves to-dav

Relations between Emperor William

“Do you know, remarked a dealer in
plantation supplies to a reporter yesterdav,
“that bagging is sold in Columbus cheaper
than it can be bought anywhere else in
in the cotton belt?”
“Is that a fact?” asked the reporter,“How
does it happen so?”
“It is just this;” replied the merchant,
“Columbus merchantssell bagging to their
customers at retail at the same price it can
be bought at wholesale by merchants In
other cities. In other words, a supply
dealer in Montgomery would be glaa to
buy every yard of bagging I have on hand
and pay the freight on it to Montgomery
at the figures I sell to my customers at re
tail.”
“How are the Columbus merchants able
to sell bagging to their customars at such a
low price?” asked the reporter.
“This is because we have a bagging mill
in Columbus,” was the reply. “Our bag
ging mill sells bagging to dealers here just
a little below what it can be bought at in
St. Louis, the bagging centre, which saves
them the freight from that market. The
merchants give their customers the bene
fit of the reduction, and the consequence
is that farmers can buy their bugging
cheaper in Columbus than they can any
where else in the cotton belt, as I said
before.”

The Mississippi River Commiasion com
pleted its labors yesterday so far as practi

November, or until such time as the yel
low fever will permit a personal inspec
tion of the Lower Mississippi without
risk. When possible, the members will
meet in St. Louis, and after a short ses
sion take a jaunt down the river and in
spect the various works in process of con
struction. Lieutenant-Colonel C. R. Sutter
of St. Louis, Judge R. S. Taylor of Fort
W^vne, Major Frost of Galveston, and
Major B. M. Harrod of New Orleans all
left for home last evening. Gen. S. W.
Ferguson of Greenville, Miss., went to

The Commissioners yesterday were en

work at the month of the Red River and

“One fine autumn morning fifteen years
| ago,” says a writer in the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, “the author of this
sketch stood at the corner of Charles and
Baltimore streets, in tho city of Baltimore,
awaitinga street car. A young man, who
was a perfect athlete in appearance, stood
waiting for the same car. \Ve got on the
car together, ami the conductor seemed
to know the handsome young man, aud
they chatted pie isantly together for sever
al blocks. There was the glow of haalth
on the young man’s cheeks. His eyes
sparkled with intelligence. His face was
broad and honest looking. There was a ,
cheery ring In his voice. His stop, as he
got off the car, was quick and elastic. His
whole makeup was that of a prosperous
young busineas man.
“Yesterday I was walking along a coun
try rood which runs near tho borders of
one of the most picturesque little lakes in
America. The lake is in New Jersey. Sur
rounding it are lofty mountains, their
sides covered with a thick growth of pine
and cedar trees. It is a lonely spot, aud
at the point where I stood, there is no
sign of human habitation.
“As I stopped a moment admiring the
wild scenery of the place I heard the
grinding of carriage wheels. A in iment
later a carriage turned a bend on the road
and passed me. Besides the driver there
were three men in the carriage. Two of
the men looked like prize-fighters. The
third man sat with bent head betwoen
them. He looked old and feeble. Ills
hair was prematurely grizzled. His face
was haggard, his cheeks wore pale, and
his eyes had a vacant, wild look in them.
His form was lean and bent. His compan
ions watched him narrowly. As the car
riage passed mo this man had his hands
clasped iu front of him. He seemed wrap
ped in deep study.
A moment later he raised his head,
threw up his hands, and with a frenzied
look started from his seat, as if to leap
from the carriage. At the same time he
uttered a terrible shriek. The two rough
looking men caught hold of hiinjand
pressed him back in his seat. Ho sank
back helplessly, with a pitiful, scared look.
The carriage passed on around another
bend in the road and out of sight. The
prematurely old man had again hentneir-
ly double, with his hands covering his face
as if he was crying,
“The young man that I saw fifteen years
ago on the Baltimore street-ear and the
bent haggard man with tho carriage yes
terday were one and the same man. The
man was Robert Garrett.
“But what a chaoge has taken place in
fifteen years. There was not the slightest
trace in the former face of the man in the
carriage yesterday to iiidieate the young,
sprightly, and well-dressed Robert Garrett
of fifteen years ago; nor that the man had
once been the President of a great railway
and a power in the financial world.
“Robert Garrett is now a prisoner in the
old Miller mansion at Kmgwood, N. J.,
and in spite of what is said by his physi
cians, it is evident that he never will be a
well man again. He may live for years,
but his reason is permanently dethroned.
He is as completely restrained of his liber
ty as a convict. He is never allowed out
of sight of the two men, who look like
prize fighters. They are hired to watch
him and prevent violent outbreaks of his
mania. Their services are frequently in
demand for that purpose. Only a few
days ago Mr. Girrett had a violent spell
in the rtiDgwood House. He then came
near breaking away from his burly attend
ants and jumping from a window. A ser
vant who was in the room at the time was
knocked sprawling by the demented mil
lionaire.”
