THE SHARON AFFAIR.
The Star st ated last week that a
mountain had been niado out of a
mole hill at Sharon.
Since that time the mountain has
become a volcano, and its fiery erup¬
tions have shaken the government
from dome to foundations, so to
speak, and has even caused the army
—of deputy raar,ha!s— to be called
forth from its daily pursuit of the
awful mountain moonshiner, and
ordered to repair to the exciting
and turbulent precincts of Sharon,
armed and equipped with deadly
"Winchester rifles, with orders to
save the government from utter de¬
struction and annihilation at all
hazards.
Sharon, be it known, is a small
village, located between Barnett (on
the Georgia railroad) and Washing¬
ton.
A republican postmaster named
E. L. Duckworth, has recently been
appointed for that place. In this
fact simply there was nothing wrong
whatever, as snch appointments are
expected throughout tho country,
under the republican administration
of the government.
But the manner in which tho ap¬
pointment was obtained seems to
have been the cause of tho whole
trouble. The inothods used by
Duckworth for procuring tho ap¬
pointment as poslmastor were ob¬
noxious to tho good pooplo of the
town, and caused a deep feeling of
indignation throughout the entire
community. This feeling finally grew
to be so deep and intense that it
eventually culminatod in the holding
of an indignation meeting, which
denounced the methods of Duck
■wo hh an^i his associates as unsavory
and outrageous, and in the burning
of their effigies in the streets of the
town. A miniature coffin was also
placed in the piazza of the now
master, and other evidences of
indignation of the citizens
made manifest ; yet no sort of
olence, or even attempt at such,
offered him, by tho people of
Sr i
tbo people that has over been perpe¬
trated in this section. It was un¬
becoming in the officials to stoop to
the commission of such a degrading
act ; while it is a shame and a last-,
ing disgrace upon’ the government
that authorized it!
Five years ago the population of
Macon, including tho suburb of Vine
ville, was 22,000, The population
now is 35,000, showing an increase
of over 50 per cent. The business
of Macon has grown, with strides
equally remarkable, from $10 500,
000 in 1884, to over $35 000,000 in
1889, which is without a parallel in
cities of the population of Macon.—
During 1880, '87 and '88 over $2,
000,000 were spent in building im
provements. In 1889, $1,250,000
were expended in new build
ings, and already plans havo been
drawn for buildings to be erected
tliis year to the value of $500,000.
The total value of the city' property
this year is $13,000,000, or an asses¬
sed valuation of about 70 per eeut.
of the actual values. The total debt
of the city, which In s boon bonded
at 6 per cent., and is being retired at
the rate of $20,000 per annum,
amounts to but $550,000. The bonds
soli at 112J in the market.

But Duckworth became alarmed
at the situation of affairs, and fled
to Warrenton. It said that “ the
wicked flee when no man pursucth.”
This appears to havo been tho case
with Duckworth. No one attempt¬
ed to harm or pursue him.
In the meantime everything bo
came quiet, and Duckworth returned
to Sharon, and was peaceably and
quietly installed in tho office of post¬
master.
Thus things assumed their usual
quietude, and all was as serene as a
May morning. But on Monday last,
however, the calmness was suddenly
broken by the appearance in the
town of half a dozen United States
deputy marshals, armed with Win¬
chester rifles, and warrants for tho
arrest of seventeen of the best citi¬
zens of Sharon and vicinity 1
Then it was that the mountain de.
Teloped into a volcano, and tho fiery
eruptions burst forth in all then
horror upon tbe unsuspecting com¬
munity ?
The whole party were arrested
and carried to Augusta, where they
were arraigned before United States
Commissioner Alexander, on tho
charge of conspiracy, intimidation,
and interference with an official in
the discharge of his duty.
Upon the advice of their counsel,
the prisoners waived examination,
and each gave bond in the sum of
$600,and were all released to await
the action of the United States grand
jury.'
The whole proceeding, upon the
part of the United Stales ofl\
— cals, in sending armed marshals in¬ I
to a peaceable community, and ai- J
re8tiDg such a large number of the
quiet and law-abiding citizens, upon
so flimsy a pretext as the Sharon
affair, is one of the grossest outrages
upon the civil rights and liberties of
