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 Sheriff Sales.
