The protracted drouth in this

which cooled the atmosphere, and
made every thing more pleasant.
The heat, during the previous
week or two, had been fearfully
oppressive, with the murcury up

Another Convict Escapes,
On Wednesday last a negro,
named George Smith, escaped from
Bagby & Speer’s penitentiary
camp, near Covington, and up to
yesterday evening, had not been
caught.
George is a bad negro, and was
sent up for burglary.
When he escaped Wednesday, he
took to the waters of Dried In¬
dian creek, which he followed to
its entrance into the river, which
he crossed, thus eluding pursuit
by the dogs.
After crossing the river he bur¬
glarized a number of houses, by
which means he soon had a change
of clothes for his stripes.
Every effort has been made for
his capture, but up to this writing
he has not been caught.
An Elegant Affair.
Just the swellest social event of

Monday evening at the home of

It was given in honor ol Miss Tru

where she has gone to enter the G.
N. I. college,
It brought together quite a num¬
ber of Covington’s brightest and
best known young people..
At 9 o’clock the parlor was filled
with the friends of this beautiful
young lady, and a most delightful
evening glided by. Many games
and tete-tetes were indulged in
throughout the entire evening.
At 11 o’clock the happy couples
resorted to the dining room where
delicious refreshments were served.
All of the young ladies present
were daintily gowned in lovely
white organdies and presented rare
pictures of girlish beauty, to say
nothing of the young men they
were sporting at their heaviest.
Miss Trudie never showed to a
better advantage, She looked as
sweet and pure as the morning
roses newly washed in dew.

Two Men to Hang.
Brooks and Reynolds, two white
men, will be hanged at Jefferson,
Jackson county, next Friday, Sept.
24th.
They were convicted of the mur¬

Belton named Hunt, which was
one of the boldest crimes of the
sort ever committed in Georgia.
Hunt was known to have money,
and Brooks and Reynolds conspir¬
ed to murder and rob him, which
they carried out in the most heart¬
less and savage manner.
They were arrested, tried, con¬
victed and sentenced to be hanged
September 24th.
Only one of the men appealed
for a new trial, the case was so
plain against them. The applica¬
tion of the one was reiused, and
they will both be hanged together
next Friday.

J. M. Pace, Historian.
Dr. E. H. Yancey, Surgeon.
Dr. G. W. Webb, Assis’t Sur.

Read minutes of the last meet¬
ing, which were adopted.
Called for reports of officers, and
the treasurer reported a cash bal¬
ance of $1.70 on hand.
Called for reports of committees,
but received none.
Took up the application of Mr.
Frank C. Davis, son of Wilson L.
Davis, a member of Co. B., 4th
Ga. militia, for membership, and
he was unanimously elected a
member of this camp.
Called for new business, when
Capt. J. M. Pace stated he had re¬
ceived a communication from R.
E. Lee Camp, of Richmond, Va.,
stating that an organization had
been effected, having for its object
the care of graves of confederate
soldiers in northern confederate
cemeteries. There are thirteen of
these cemeteries in northern soil,
with an aggregate of 20,000 graves.
These graves are in need of care
and attention, and it is purposed
to have neat marble headstones
placed on each grave, The esti
mated cost of this work will be
about $4,000, and it is desired to
raise this amount by contributions
from the various confederate camps
throughout the south, and from
the generous and liberal hearted
southern people generally.
After a little further discussion
of the subject, it was agreed that
the matter of a contribution to this
object be deferred until later in
the season, when money matters
become a little easier, when a gen¬
erous contribution will be made,
as the movement is one that ap¬
peals to the hi trt and sympathy
of every true soflthron.
The adjutant was instructed to
prepare a statement, showing the
amount of dues now in arrears
from each member, and to report
the same at the next meeting
our camp, when if. is hoped every
one will be prepared to settle
all his back dues.
There being no further
the meeting adjourned to 2
p. m. on the first Tuesday in
tober.
CAPERS DICKSON,
/, W. Andfrspn, Adjutant,
1 FOUR BALES
TO THE ACRE.
That is What Mr. Jackson
Claims His African Cot¬
ton Will Make.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL.
As much has been written and
said about this now famous cotton,
the Star concluded to visit the
Jackson farm, near Atlanta, and
see how it looks.
The cotton patch is located be¬
tween Atlanta and McPherson bar¬
racks, and about 50 yards from the
electric car line.
In company with two other gen¬
tlemen bent ou the same mission,
we visited the farm on Thursday
last, and saw the cotton in all its
wonderful glory.
The Messrs. Jackson, father and
son, met us at the entrance to the
field, and courteously invited us to
walk in.
The cotton is strikingly remark
able in many respects. It impress¬
es you from the moment you first
behold it. It presents a sea of lux¬
uriant foliage, while the stalks are
absolutely limbless, and from 6 to
9^ feet high. In place of limbs
there are what may properly be
termed leaf or boll stems, which
shoot out from the stalk every few
inches, upon which the bolls are
grown. The leaves are quite large,
and the ioliage rich and luxuriant.
The rows are three feet apart, and
the stalks, as a rule, about 12 in¬
ches apart, though they vary just
as they do in all cotton fields,
where the chopping or thinning
out has been irregular. The fruit
is exceedingly prolific, the
bolls are of good size, and will av¬
erage favorably with the best cot¬
ton. The stalks are all well load¬
ed with fruit, and the number of
bolls on each runs from 40 to 60,
making an average of probably 45
to 50. We saw the bolls counted
on one stalk, taken at random as
we walked along, and there were
50 grown ones, besides a large
number of squares. We were in¬
formed that 40 bolls is the lowest
estimate of the average number of
bolls to the stalk that has been
made by any one who has seen it.
Mr. Jackson has six acres of this
cotton, and calculates on making
four bales to the acre, or 24 on the
six acres. He feels sure be will
get 20 bales from the six acres.
The seed of this wonderful cot¬
ton came from the interior of Afri¬
ca, and were brought to Atlanta
during the cotton exposition. From
the few seed planted last year,
enough were produced to plant the
six acres in cultivation this year.
Mr. Jackson evidently has a real
Klondyke gold mine in his pres¬
ent crop, and will no doubt realize
a princely fortune out of the seed
grown on his six acres this year.
He is selling the seed at the fab¬
ulous price of $200.00, per bushel
and will easily sell his entire crop
at that price! For any quantity
less than a peck, the seed will be
sold at one cent apiece !
Orders are being received daily
from all over the south, and the
seed will be delivered when the
cotton is gathered and ginned.
The cotton requires a very rich
soil in order to make the stalk
large and strong enough to bear up
its heavy weight of fruit.
The Chilian government is ne¬
gotiating for the entire crop, and
the princely sum asked for the seed
of the six acres is $200,000 ! We
believe $75,000 is the sum the Chil
lians have offered.
Whether this cotton is to prove
a success and blessing to our sec¬
tion and to mankind generally,
time alone will tell. It is now
only in the experimental stage,
and though it promises well, only
experience and time can determine
its value to us. If it can be grown
in all parts of the world, it mav
destroy the peculiar value of our
beloved south as a cotton growing
section.
We trust it may prove a great
blessing and not an injury to the
south.

The Present Storm Center.
The present storm center of
crime in this country now hovers
over Pennsylvania and Indiana.
The shooting of twenty odd
miners by a sheriff,s posse in Penn¬
sylvania, and the lynchiug of five
men at Versailles, Indiana, the
other night, for burglary, are the
winners in the criminal annals
this country, and shows that the
storm center of crime now hovers
over these two great states.
The “dissolving” of Mrs. Luert
gert, in Chicago, and the < ( lost
head of Guldensuppe, in New
York, are lost to view in the over¬
shadowing magnitude of the Penn¬
sylvania and Indiana affairs, and
at once fixes the present storm
center of crime in this country in
those two states.
Here is the Correct View.
It is true that most of the big
metropolitan newspapers of the
present day are sensational, if they
are anything, but they are not al¬
ways to blame for it.
It is the fault of their corres
pondents.
The papers may be to blame for
Gaining correspondents who are
known to be unreliable or untruth¬
ful, but they cannot always know
whether their reports are true or
not.
Take, for instance, the reports
sent to the New York Journal from
Atlanta, giving an account of the
Perry hanging, to say nothing of
the Longstreet-Dortch marriage.
In the Perry case, the report
sent to the Journal scarcely con¬
tained a word of truth, beyond the
fact that Perry w ; as hanged.
Now the Journal could not know
the truth about the case, but could
only publish what its correspond¬
ent sent it by wire at the last mo¬
ment before going to press.
The editors had no chance to
verify the report sent it by its At¬
lanta correspondent, and was oblig¬
ed to publish it as a matter of news
as it was sent.
The correspondent, therefore, is
the man to lie stoned, as he is sole¬
ly responsible for the false state¬
ments in his report.
We think, however, that the
as well as all other big
should weed out their fake
and employ men
to furnish the news who have
regard for truth and facts,
and who can be relied on to furn¬
them when they report a case
publication.
The reliability of the daily press
