The Knrke County Tragedy.
OP THE atCBDEKEB—ins COhTTSHIO.V.
• On yesterday morning the Chronicle A Senti-
nel —only paper in the city which had it—
40 aoconnt of the brutal murder of
Mr. Adkins D. Lewis, of Burke county, by a
whom at tho time he had in hi* employ-
Our account stated that ho was mur-
dered in cold blood in one of his fields and that
the murderer had fled from justice. This morn
ing w* arc gratified at being able to announce
to oar readers that tho assassin has been arrest-
od and now occupies a cell in the jail of this
«ty, when bo will remain until demanded by
the authorities of Burke county, in which the
crime was committed. Below we giro a full ac
count of the whole transaction: The reasons
the negro gave for killing his employer; tho
manner in which the murder was accomplished;
th» subsequent flight of tho murderer; and his
arrest in this city yesterday morning.
The name of the gentleman was, as we have
before stated, Adkins D. Lewis, an esteemed
and useful citizen of Bnrke county, who owned
and resided on a plantation seven miles south
of the town of Waynesboro. Tie murderer is
a negro named, Ben Godby, who has for some
time peat been in the employment of Mr. Lewis.
Godbyl family, consisting of his wife and a
little girl, were also employed by the same mas
ter ; his wife, we believe, a cook, and his child
a nunc for Mrs. Lewis. On last Monday Ged-
by’a little girl, while mining Mrs. Lewis'child,
violated some commands which had been im
posed by her mistress, and waa corrected by the
latter for the act of disobedience. This, of
course, was told by the child to her mother;
and on Tuesday morning the latter called Mrs.
Lewis to account for the punishment, in a most
insolent maimer. Mrs. Lewis endeavored to
make her atop her impertinent language, but
without success; the enraged negress grew
more and more violent, miRl Mr. Lewis, who
happened at this time to enter the room, mado
her desist, by striking h« a light blow over the
bead with a stick, winch he held in bis hand.
The blow cat the skin of the woman’s skull, and
brought the blood.
That night when Godby returned to his cabin
from work, hie wife told him of the manner in
which she had been treated by Mr. Lewis.
Daring the recital Godby and another negro
man were present; and tho latter, wo under
stand, asserts that Godby grew very indignant
when told of tho blow, and declared bis deter
mination of revenging himself by taking the
life of his employer. On Wednesday morning
Godby and the other hands wrnL ,to their work
in a fleM situated a short distance from Mr.
Lewis’ boose. Before leaving bis house, how
ever, Godby secreted on his person a large dirk
knife—thus showing vcryplainly his murderous
intentions. Hia wife refused to go to Mrs. Lewis
to resume her culinary occupation, bnt remained
at home in bed, saying that she waa nnable to
work. A little later in the morning of Wednes
day, Mr. Lewis entered tho field and asked God-
by where his wife was? Godby, wo aro in
formed, replied that sho was at homo sick from
the effects of the blow Lewis hsd struck her,
and that ho intended to have revenge. Mr.
Lewis nude some reply to this, when Godby
drew his dirk and sprung upon him. Before
his employer could recover from the surprise
of the attack, he stabbed him five or six times
in tho stomach and- bronst, inflicting several
mortal wounds. During this timo no one at
tempted to stay the hand of the murderer, and
when hia victim fell to-tbe^round, Godby fled,
faetn -tint AmlL, and going to bis
' house’ procureams wife and fled the county.
On yesterday evening about six o'clock, Ma
jor Hufd> McLaws, while going from this city
to his home in the conn try, met a negro man
nnd two women about six miles from the city,
on the Savannah road, coining to Augusta. lie
noticed that one of tho women had blood on her
clothes, bnt said nothing to the party and went
on homo. Yesterday morning he returned to
tho eity, and, when about a mile from here,
overtook the party ho had seen on tho previous
evening. Hir curiosity if little excited. Major
McLaws stopped and asked the woman with tho
blood on her dress where she was going. Sho
replied that she waa from Bnrke county, where
she had had a difficulty with her employer, Mr.
Lewis, in which she had been severely beaten
by tho employer, and that she waa coming to
Augusta in onler to take ont a warrant for hie
arrest Major McLaws then asked why she had
not gone to a Bnrke oonnty Magistrate. The
woman answered that there waa no jnstiee in
her District, and that aha waa obliged to come
to Augusta.
Nothing further passed between them, and
Major McLaws left the party and came on to
town. Upon reaching the city be read in the
Chronicle and Sentinel an account of the mur
der of Mr. Lewis, and saw at once that the ne-
S o whom he had passed most be the murderer.
e at once communicated to the police what he
hod seen, and put them on tho lookout for the
party. At about half-past nine o’clock a police
detective saw the man and two women standing
near tho oarncr of Ellis and Monument streets.
Keoognixing his game, from the blood on the
dreea of ono of the women, ho approached and
entered into oonvoraation with tho party. God
by was under the impression that there was a
* Freedmen’a Bureau Agent in Augusta, and asked
where he was to bo found, saying that ho had
stabbed Lewis, but had not killed him, and
wished to have him arrested for beating his
wife. The detective told him to go into the
offloe of one of Bullock’s Notaries near by and
he would see the matter all right. The negro
. did as directed, and the detective going to tho
City HaH, returned with the Captain of Police.
The detoctivo says that tho Notary told him not
to go for the police. When the Captain arrived
there tho Notary informed him that Godby had
given himself up. The following is tho declara
tion to that effect drawn np by Lyons and sworn
to by Godby. We give it verbatim et literatim :

Personally appeared Ben. Godby of Burke
county who being sworn deposeth and s&ith on
the ICthtiay of dime ISO!' he was employed by
Adkins D. Lewis, and was working m the field
of said Adkins D. Lewis when the said Lewis
enquired of Deponent where his wifo was. An
swered that hia wife was in tho house and bea
ten by him ao sho could not work. Then he re
plied I will cut your throat from car to ear and
drew a pocket knife and made at me and I
drew a knife in self defence and stabbed him
with it arid then fled. Deponent maketh this

thority of Richmond county for fear of mob

NP. aief, 3. P. mark
After tho above had been signed a commit
ment was mado out and Godby sent to jaiL The
knife with which he killed Lewis is at tho Nota
ry’s office. ’ It is made from a long file, beaten
ont sharp on lx>tli edges with an exceedingly
keen point, and is a most murderous looking
weapon. Godby pretended not to know that
Lewis was dead and seemed astonished when
told the fact. It will bo observed that in the
latter part of his declaration he swears that he
is afraid of “mob violence" from the people of
Richmond county. We think ho intended to
say Bnrke county, and that the ignorance of the
notary caused the mistake.
How To Peotect Cotton tboji the Cateefil-
lab.—A friend sends us the following extract
fronft letter from a planter in Florida, which
he suggests, is worthy of being made public.
The writer says: ‘Tam informed that the plant
ing of peas in cotton will drive off the caterpil
lar. Upon inquiry from different parties, I am
satisfied that there is something in it- There
are several planters around here (Jefferson co.,
Fla.,) who tried it as an experiment last year.
They state that the caterpillar, although it de
stroyed the cotton all around, never touched it
where the peas were planted."
The experiment may be made at very little
cost, and, should it prove successful, would
abundantly repay the planter for his labor.
Tonraamesl in Perry.
PxaBT, Ga., June 15, 1SC9.
Editor* TiUgrjyJi; Several days ago it was
rumored around that there would be a tourna
ment in our quiet little town, on the 11th day
of June; the heart of every young gallant beat
with tho warmest emotions of delight, as he
thought of the honor to be won by chivalrous
skill; but still warmer did each one's heart
palpitate, as he. thought of the beauty t|iat
would be assembled to witness his victory,
should victory be his lot, and as he thought of
tho opportunity to be won, by his akin, of
showing unto his lady-love the regard, Dip
adoration he entertained for her beauty and
accomplishments.
At 3 o'clock P. M., of the day appointed, the
spectators began to assemble, and in a short
time the arena was thronged with old age,
youth and beauty, who anxiously awaited the
commencement of the martial exercises. They
were not kept in suspense very long before the
gallant Knights made there appearance, motmt-
od upon their fiery steeds, beautifully capari
soned with wreaths of beauty and sweetness,
marched through the delighted throng, **ni'S
shouts of applause and took their places in
order; then the long looked for exercises be
gan, and as each Knight came through borne
along by his faithful charger, and severed each
head and ran his sword through the ring, there
aroeo a long, load cheer from the delighted
spectators, that made the forest echo and re
echo again; and the enthusiastic waving of the
ladies’ snowy handkerchiefs, nerved the others
to their greatest strength and skill, Thus an
hour passed off pleasantly and delightfully,
until the game was ended.
The Knights were then marshalled to hear
the decision of .the judges. Wimberly, of Hen
derson, won the first prize, which was a crown
to bo placed upon the brow of his lady-love, as
the Queen of Beauty. Derisan the second, a
wreath to be placed npon tho Maid of Honor.
Laidler, "Wimberly, of Havneville, and Engra-
ham tied for the third, winch was also the right
of placing a wreath upon the brow of a second
Maid of Honor.' A second trial of these rivals
resulted in favor of Engraham. All were then
invited to attend tho coronation, at tho Court
House, by eight and a half o'clock.
About eight the beauty and chivalry of Hous
ton began to assemble and in a short time tho
house was thronged with blushing maidens and
ry os a marriage bell for an "hour or more dur
ing which time I feasted my eyes on beauty and
splendor, and I thought I had never seen young
ladies look so handsome. (Though I think that
every time I seo them.) -'
Prof. Chas. V. Neal, was then introduced by
tho Hon. O. O. Duncan, who delivered a hand
some and appropriate address to tho Knights,
paid a deserved tribute to the worth of woman,
and presented the crown and wresdhs to the vic
torious Knights; then tho Qneen elect, and two
maids of honor, who were Misses Davis, Mann
andDenard, were led forth blushing, to tho
decorated seats that were prepared for them;
for beauty, grace, and accomplishments, there
could not have been three better selections, not
only in Houston bnt tho State; bnt, Messrs. Edi
tors, Houston can boast of tho pretiest, the most
handsome, and loveliest young ladies in tho
[State.
Mr. Wimberly then very gallantly placed tho
fosn npon tho ivory brow of Miss Davis, then
followed B. M. Davis, Esq., who placed a
beautiful wreath of sweet flowers npon tho brow
of Miss Mann, which strongly contrasted with
her sweetness; and then Mr. Engrnham placed
the second wreath npon the intelligent brow of
I Mias Denard. The young men acquitted them
selves handsomely in their eloquent remarks,
but still moro nobly’did tho Qneen and maids of
honor acquit themselves. Sir. Derisan hod re
signed his honor to P. M. Davis, Esq.
After the coronation ceremony was over there
waa a load call for music, partners were led
forth, and as the light fantastic too beat time
to merry music, and as the graceful form of the
beautiful Queen, her maids of honor, and the
other equally beautiful yonng ladies, moved
throngh the brisk dance, I imagined that I
had been transported to tho enchanted island of
Calypso, and was nearly in tho presence of that
lovely Queen and her nymphs. - This enchant
ment was broken abont 1 o’clock when the nra-
sio and dancing ceased, and the fairies melted
away one by one until all are gone, and I awoke
| to the Stem reality that I bad to go homo in the
mark.
■ The tournament will be' renewed on the
[firet day of July, at which timo wo anticipate
much more fan, and a mur A better entertain
ment, and all who desire to feast their oyesupon
beauty, and their soul with enjoyment are in-
ivited to attend. Yours with respect,
[ Cr clots.
Cotton.
I/Vom It* Atlanta AoSiMiM.)
■ The last years crop was 3,430,893 bales, worth
I$350,000,000. Three acres average a bale. In
this ratio this crop was raised oa 7,000,000 acres,
worth $73,000,000, bnt before the war worth
$300,000,000.
The ten cotton States—the Carolines, Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee, embrace 426,-
305,440 acres. Parts of Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri raise cotton. Say that 250,000,000
acres can be nsed to raise cotton. This conld
produce 85,000,000 bales, worth $9,000,000,000,
twice the public debt. Last year’s yield, there
fore, was one thirty-sixth of our grand cotton
capacity.
Six bales to the hand is a fair average. This
rule would give 405,14S laborers for last year.
Allowing one-fourth whito, this would leave 303,-
861 blacks to 101,287 whitos.
Before the war, in tho cotton States, thero
were 3,030,241 slaves, half of whom mado oot-
ton. Black cotton laborers are- thus reduced
from 1,500.000 to 300,000.
During the war cotton raising went np in for
eign countries; since, it has declined. India
produced 1,840,648 bales in 1SG5 to 1,420,576 m
1868. Egypt fell from 404,811 bales in 1865 to
193,035 in ISC8. In both countries in the best
cotton years a million of people died from starva
tion, the result of neglecting grain to raise cot-
■ii < - -
In Brazil, Peru and the West Indies, the yield
of cotton steadily increases. But Tennessee
alone beats all South America and the West In
dies, by 374,SCO bales to 252,207 bales.
Smyrna cut down her fruit trees in 1864, to
grow cotton, bnt has abandoned it. . '
These facts encourage and instruct ns. They
tell ns:
First, That for some time the cotton crop of
the world will fall short of what it nsed to be,
and hence prices must stay up.
Second, That thero is no danger to tho South
from foreign rivalry, and therefore our cotton
will yet give ns powur/^^ 0
Third, That our only way to raise the cotton
in the quantity wo wish, will bo to import la
bor, and encourage immigration.
Fourth, That it is our dnty to ourselves to
take steps to redeem our immense area of un
used cotton territory from neglect, and thus add
to our commercial and political power.
The Chicago Republican thus cogently and
frankly speaks of thi3 important matter:
In fact the promotion of the numbers of the
laboring population in the South becomes almost
if not quite a national question. Now, we are
largely exporting either bonds or gold, to pay
for the balance of trade, which is against ns.
Cotton is the same as cash, wherewith to make
these payments. A cotton crop.eqnal to that of
18G0, might have turned in our favor European
exchanges and forced into our hands the great
advantages to be derived from having the bal
ance of trade in our favor.
A coloeed man, named James "Washington
has brought suit in Quincy, Illinois, against the
Keokuk Packet Company, to recover damages
in the sum of §2000—the officers of one of that
company’s boats having refused to allow him to
sit at the table with white passengers.
Eight thousand German workingmen marched
in procession throngh the streets of New York
on Tuesday, and fifteen thousand enjoyed a
grand picnic at Jones’ Woods. Lager beer
flowed -without stint, bnt good order prevailed.
D Ossat, in remarking on the beanty speck
on the cheek of Lady Southampton, compared
it to a gem on a rose leaf. “The compliment
is far fetched," observed her ladyship. ’How
can that be," rejoined the count, , “when it is

to dispose of territorial right* for the o*eofhi*
improved appliance* for converting tbe aatringent
properties of Oak Bark into an imperiihabl* extract
for Tanning and Coloring purposes, requiring there
for a amall royalty-per gallon, ora reasonable con
sideration for Factory or Territorial right*.
The cost of a Factory, with all the requisite ap
pointment* (less motive power) capable of prodnei&c
50 barrel* *xtrj twenty-fonr hours, will not exceed
$8000, while a factory of the capacity of 25 barrel* per
twenty-four hours will not exceed $5000. Three thorn-
sand dollars will—where lumber i* cheap—meet th*
entire coat of a factory capable of producing from 12
to 15 barrels per day. (leas the motive power) which
may be of steam or water, and of from 15 to 20 horee
power. These estimate* include the cost of building,
tanks, (which are of wood) mill, condensing apparatus
and every requisite, pave the motive power, required
in the manufacture.
These new device*, for manufacturing concentrated
extract, are in practical nse, and are pronounced by
good judges to be the most perfect, simple and tbe
cheapest in use. Competent men will bo provided for
putting these factories in operation for those to whom
licenses are granted. All particulars may be learned
