cotton factory, if onr citizens will only
make up their mind to do it. There is
no fact that bus been so completely de
monstrated already, than the fact that tho
proper place for the manufacture of cot
ton, is the location in which it is grown.
The Columbus, Augusta and Savannah
cotton factories have been running the
whole of last year on full time, and with
full force; and each of them have made
from 12 to 20 per cent, net dividends,
the Granitcville of Angnsta jnst closing
the list with a net profit of 19 per cent.
The New England factories on the other
hand, have most of them been running
only from a half to three-fonrtbs of the
time, never with a full force, and have
not averaged 9 per cent, in dividends.
These figures will gradually enforce con
viction, and will assuredly bring thh time
when the bulk of Georgia’s staple crop
will be spun aud woven within the bord
ers of onr State.
As stated, a company has been organ
ized already for a cotton factory
American. The shares are put at $100
each, so as to give all a chance to aid
the enterprise. Five dollars per share
will be required to be paid npon applica
tion for the stock, and $10 upon allot
ment, that is, when the scrip or shares
are handed to the stockholders. It ii
expected to call for the payment of i
than $10 per share at any time, and to
give thirty days notice thereof, so :
bring it within the reach of everybody,
whether business men, working i
doctors, lawyers or others, and it is r
than likely that all tho money will not
be called for sooner than twelve months,
It is onr firm conviction that the build
ing of a cotton factiry in Americas will
be productive of more good to the city
than any experiment ever made within
her limits since its incorporation.
We therefore earnestly appeal to every
one who feels an interest in the pros
perity of our city to come up man
fully and do something for this enter
prise. Let a meeting of the citizens be
called at an early day, and raise
amount necessary, and go to business at
once.
K&lavillk, Ga., May 4tb, 1875.
Col. Hancock : A destructive toi
fell npou our little town aud vicinity last
night, between 11 and 12 o’clock, caus
ing serious loss of property and general
prostration of fences and trees. It came
from the S. W. and blew with violence
for the space of an hour, accompanied
with floods of rain, and the most inces
sant and vivid lightning. The noise and
confusion of elements was awful! So
constant was the lightning that it was
easy to see from any one point the de
struction going .on in the vicinity.
The storm appeared i.*i ils /ary near
Judge Montgomery’s residence and its
centre passed through Ellaviile, with
front of destructive power altont oi
mile ia length, and continuing beyond
Ellaviile E. N. E. two or three miles.
Gas Cox’s dwelling was completely de
molished and the lighter timbers scat
tered over many acres fa area. His fam
ily, including himseit, wife and two chil<
a short | dreu, were miraculously preserved from
build a | death. They were all in the house when
A RIOT AT DARIEN.
ATTEMPT OF NEGROES TO RESCUE CAMP
BELL—SEVERAL PARTIES WOUNDED—
NARROW ESCAPE OF JUDGE TOUT KINS.
The Storm.—A gentleman writing to
the Macon Telegraph & Messenger from
Talbotton, under date of May 3d, states
that the upper part of Talbot county was
visited by another destructive cyclone
the 1st inst., destroying the houses and
fences of Rev. John Harris and killing
tw’o negroes ; destroying also the school
house of Miss Trussell, wounding her
and her sister, Mrs. Kendrick, badly,and
killing young Mr. Kendrick ; destroying
Mr. Canada’s place, mortally wounding
him and killing his wife. Mr. J. Weaver
had his fine residence and out bouses all
demolished, wounding him,it is thought,
mortally, and killing two negroes. The
two churches known as the “double
churches” were blown entirely away,
well as the Academy located on the road
between Talbotton aud Greenville. Plan
tations aloQg its couree were destroyed
and many persons wounded, some badly,
some slightly. The storm is reported to
have been one hundred yards wide, and
that it crossed Flint river south of
Double Bridges.
4®"*Tho captain of a western ferry
boat found a negro aboard who hadn’t
the nickel to pay his fare, and he shouted
to him, “Didn’t I tell you before we
started that yon couldn’t cross if you
hadn’t any money?” “I guess it was
yon,” replied the darkey; “but dere was
so many around the dock spittin’ frow
deir front teeth and a-hollerin’ at deck
hands dat I couldn’t moke out whether
you belonged on de boat or not.”
True.—An exchange says the reading
of a good and well conducted newspaper,
even for the space of one quarter of a
year, brings more sonnd instruction, and
leaves a deeper impression, than would
probably be acquired at the best school
ia twelve months. Talk to the members
of a family who read the papers, and com
pare their intelligence and information
with those who do not. The difference
is beyond comparison.
©5^ A Texas editor is trying to keep
society straight in bis town, and when
he sees anything he doesn’t like, he
speaks about it. To one young woman
be says; “We aufgei/.; tp a certain young

ii lifted it bodily from the founda
tions, opened its walls and completely
destroyed it. Mrs. Cox bad her sick
fant in her arms, protected by a pillow ;
slightly braised on the head.
Mr. Cox was, also, struck by a piece of
falling timber, but not seriously hart.
The furniture was destroyed. A negro
Montgomery’s farm, had his
house blown down and himself and wife
severely hurt. There were somo other
instances of injuries to persons.
Cupt. Barton had his stock shelter
blown down and one mule killed and one
injured. Scovill’s blacksmith shop was
completely destroyed ; Wo. Allen loRt
all of his out houses. A house in front
of Cox’s (unoccupied) went by the board.
Many chimneys and small out houses
blown down. One-third of the
beautiful oaks and bickorys in the public
square were torn up by the roots, and
the sound cf the axe, deftly handled by
of our enterprising citizens, is even
heard clearing away the fallen rnon-
arebs, with “an eye” to the coming de
mand for fuel.
Burtoq^Montgomery, Baldwin, Askew
& Dixon, Allen Bros., Cox, Scovill,
Swanson and Cleghorn all suffered, more
■ less, by destruction of fences.
The plank fence enclosing the Metho
dist church was shivered and overturned,
top thrown on the roof of the
bnilding ami the window blinds injured.
We have cause to be thankful that no
lives were lost.
The citizens of the snrronuding coun
try promptly responded to the calls for
help, and all day they have been coming
and sending hands to the help of their
more unfortunate neighbors in tbetown,
and the fences and palings are going up
like magic. Mr. Cox is to be especially
pitied. A poor man as he is, having
just finished end moved into his house,
>w houseless ; his furniture destroyed
• greatly injured.
I have just learned that the storm was
severe as far north as Geo. Monroe’s, bat
destructive in its effects as in El-
Iaville. The town has been wounded in
its tend crest point. Twenty-six of the
beautiful trees on the square are lying
prostrate, and the unsightly clay roots
will long be reminders of its fury.

The Hog Question.—Under this head
tho Augusta Constitutionalist has the fol
lowing ;
We rend as follows in the Columbus
Times:
The Northeast Georgian and the An
gusta Constitutionalist favor an offer of
$1,000 for the best hog raised in Georgia,
and think that it will decide the qnestion.
We beg leave to differ with them. Wc
think the prize should l>e given fvi n.
best twenty hogs. The best hog might
be raised by an amateur farmer, who
only raised one or two hogs, in order to
win this premium. We contend that the
only way to prevent the stealing and
killing of the farmers’ hogs is to make
the crime a penitentiary offense. It is
simple folly to attempt to raise “your
own meat” in this port of Georgia. In
North Georgia, where there are compara
tively few negroes, it is often the case
that the farmer raises his supplies of ev
ery description. Roth “overseers” and
hog thieves are things of the past. But
' is not practicable to raise hogs here.”
While Dr. Carleton of the Northeast
Georgian, was engaged in doing the State
some service in Atlanta, as a member of
the Legislature, Dr. Ed. Newton ran the
paper, according to his own statement,
us a first-class agricultural organ. Among
other clever suggestions, he proposed
that a prize of $1,000 in gold should be
offered by somebody for tbo best Geor
gia-raised hog, declaring, incidentally,
that the prospect of snch a sum as that
would prove conclusively that we need
not altogether have our smoke-houses in
tbo West. The idea struck us being both
novel and practical. Hence we endorsed
it and called upon the Grangers to rise
to tbe importance of the occasion and
put np the stakes. Onr brother of the
CoLnmbus Times offers an amendment to
Dr. Newton’s original motion, which we
gladly accept and advocate. Let the
prize be offered then for twenty home-
raised bogs' instead of one, and let tbe
General Assembly, on motion of Dr.
Carleton, at the next session, make tbe
stealing of swine a felony. * As to the
impracticability of raising hogs in the
Tange of Colnmbna, we have no doubts.
Until a trial be made, nnder the changed
conditions suggested, we cannot believe
that hog-raising is an impossibility in
any part of this State. At any rate, let
the Patrons of Hoabandry, subordinating
the cotton qnestion for a moment, an
nounce that $1,000 in gold will be given
as a premium for the best twenty bogs
raised in Georgia. It is worth the money
to test the question, and opr deliberate
opinion ia that it will be, in its results,
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars,
Now, what say you, Messieurs of the
Grange?
A Letter from Thomas Jefferson.—
Tbo late James Gordon Bennott was in
faith a Roman Catholic, but neither intol
erant or indifferent in mutters of religion.
We may illustrate this by a document
which he took pains to obtain, and pub
lished in tbe Philadelphia Pennsylvanian
of August 10,1833, with the highest enco-
nium on its merit. It was a letter from
Thomas Jefferson, addressed to his god
son, Thomas Jefferson Grotean, and is
us follows.
“Your affectionate mother requests
that I would address to you, as a name
sake, something which may have a favor
able influence on the course of life yon
are to run. Few words are necessary,
with good dispositions on your part 1 .
Adore God, reverence and cherish your
parents, love your neighbor as yourself,
and vour country more than life. Be
just, bo true; murmur not at the ways of
Providence, and tho life into which you
have entered will be tbe passage to one of
eternal and ineffable bliss. And if to tbe
dead, it is permitted to care for the
things of this world, every action of your
life will be nnder my regard. Faiewell,
“Monticello, January 10, 1824.”
Of this Mr. Bennett says in a letter
asking for it for publication, “Oat of the
sacred volumes of Christianity, I do not
believe there exists a production equal
to it ia the world.”
(From the Savannah New*.j
There were rnmors yesterday of a ne
gro riot in Darien, in which several par
ties had been killed and wounded, and a
man by the name of Mansfield badly cut.
We at once investigated the reports and
obtained tbo following information ip
regard to the riot:
On Friday morning the grand jury of
McIntosh County Court, Judge II. B.
Tompkins presiding, brought in a true
bill against Tunis G. Campbell, the no
torious negro magistrate, for false im
prisonment, under color of his office.
Campbell was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Thorp on a bench warrant issued by
Judge Tompkins, and taken to the Court
House. Jndge Tompkins directed that
te be kept in custody of the Sheriff un
less bail was famished, and about dusk
adjourned the Court and proceeded to
his lodgings up in the towu. In abont
half an hoar afterwards a messenger in
hot haste, sought him out, and deliver
ed him tbe following note:
Hon. 11. H. Tompkins :
Campbell has failed to give bond, and
we made tbe attempt to take him to jail,
and huvo been prevented by the colored
population, and were compelled to get
back into the Court House. Wo are sur
rounded bv a boitterona crowd. What
shall we do ? Many threats have been
made.
[Signed] W. T. Thorp,
Deputy Sheriff.
Immediately upon receiving this note
Judge Tompkins, accompanied by So
licitor General Lamar, proceeded to the
Court House, around which was gathered
a large crowd cf excited negro men and
women, and succeeded iff making bis
way into the bnilding, the doors of which
were barred to keep the crowd out.
After entering tho Coart Room Judge
Tompkins had a consultation with the
Sheriff abont tho matter, when Marshal
Carr, who was present, proposed that as
Marshal of tho town he should go out
and attempt to disperse the crowd. This
suggestion was considered good, and
Marshal Carr, with Judge Tompkins
aud the Sheriff, proceeded to the front
of tbo building. A white man and
a negro who were iu the Court Room,
out at the same time and remained
e steps near Judge Tompkins and
tho Sheriff. Haishal Carr went ont into
the crowd and advised them to leave,
when he was immediately knocked down
pretty roughly bandied. About
ie time firing commenced, the
negroes firing at the bnilding in the di
rection where Jndge Tompkins aud the
Sheriff was standing. The Sheriff
struck in the f. ce, the other white
wounded in the neck and tbe negro
ae arm, but fortunately Judge Tomp
kins was unhurt, which is rather singular
aud fortunate, considering the fact that
every person near him was struck.
Some fifteen or twenty shots
fired, probably from guns, as buck and
dnek shot were used.
The white man standing near Judge
Tompkins drew a pistol, and was about
returning the firing of the crowd wt
he was prevented by the Judge, and
further demonstration was made for the
time by the negroes. The firing having
ceased, Judge Tompkins left tbe build
ing guarded by six or seven men, and
went np town, insh noting the Sheriff to
summon a posse for reinforcement
case of farther trouble.
After considerable difficulty, a posse
of tweuty men was obtained, aud march
ed to tho Court House, where they re
mained all night.
The negroes did not make another de
monstration, though firing was kept up
at intervals in different portions of the
town daring the night.
On the arrival of the steamer Lizzie
Baker Campbell was conveyed safely
board and placed in tho custody of Dep
uty Sheriff John Smith, of this county,
who had been to Brunswick to serve some
papers. Ex-Deputy Sheriff Guyton, col
ored, rendered assistance. Three other
negroes who were convicted at tho late
sitting of the court were brought along
as company for Tunis. They are Ben
Baker and Tom Fleming, convicted of
burglary, and sentenced to teu years’
imprisonment in the penitentiary, and
William Ledbetter, convicted of attempt
at burglary, aud sentenced to four years
in the penitentiaiy.
The steamer reached her wharf in this
city at the usual hour yesterday morning,
and tho quartette of darkies are now
safely lodged in Chatham county jail.
The report of a man being cut, is, so
far os our information is concerned, un
true.

The Wear »nd Tear of City -
Tho wear and tarot city life are a severe tax
upon the strongest constitutions. The hurry
and bustle and anxieties of business keep tbo
nervous system in state of unnatural tension
A new silver coin of twenty cents
is soon to be issued at tho United States
Mint. If wo remember correotly, this is
ono of tho series of coins in conformity
with the metric system recently urged by
Mr. Nathan Appleton in an open letter
to Secretary Bristow. As the twenty-
cent piece will about correspond with the
franc of France, Italy, Switzerland, Bel
gium and some other countries, this is
the most important coin that could be
Dat in circnlotion to inaugurate the adop

Horses for the Table.—Since tho
war Paris ha 1 * consumed from 9,000 to
10,000 horses a year, and here, as in the
principal German cities, tLe growing
taste for horseflesh har, been very marked.
A prime jaded horse brings, at Paris,
from $25 to $30, aud there are forty-eight
places where a man can cat all tha horses
and mules and asses he pleases. It is
furnished at half the cost of beef, the
jniceat cuts ranging from twenty to
twenty-five cents per pound. Horse sau
sage is also quite popular; the tongue,
bruin and liver are served in tempting
bits, while the fat is utilized for butter!
her age.
Thus has passed from earth a truly
good and noble woman—a devoted moth
er—an humble Christian—a faithful
friend. With tho powers of a superior
mind were associated in her the feelings
of a kind and gentle heart. Intelligence,
humility, meekness, self-denial—these,
mingled together in harmonious and
beaatifnl proportions, were the orna
ments of her character.
Mrs. Dudley w'as the eldest child of
Hon. W. H. Crawford, who was esteemed
and honored as one of our country’s best
and purest statesmen, and who for many
years occupied high positions in different
departments of the National Government
during the palmiest days of its existence.
She was born at “Woodlawn,” near Lex
ington, Ga., March 20, 1805, and there,
in the quiet retreat of that country home,
were received the early impressions
which served to develope and shape her
character for a noble and useful life.
When quite young, she accompanied her
father and mother to Washington, D. C.,
aLd there formed the personal acquaint
ance of many of our leading men of that
day, and became somewhat familiar with
the political affairs of the nation at a
time when they were managed by great
and good men.
After their return to Georgia in 3825,
Mrs. Dudley made a public profession of
her faith in Christ, having experienced,
as she said, a most happy and peaceful
state of mind while readiug and medita
ting on the 116th Psalm. She joined the
Presbyterian Church at Lexington, Ga,,
then under the pastoral charge of Dr.
Tlios. Gnilding, and she adorned this
profession with a consistent walk and con
versation to the day of her death.
She was married ^Feb. 9tb, 1829, to
Col. G. M. Dadley, of Oglethorpe coun
ty, Ga., and unto them were born six
children, threo of whom preceded their
parents to the grave.
The family moved to Americas, Ga., in
December, 1839, and there tho father
and mother lived through the many
changes whick have taken place in that
growing city, till God called them from
tho toils aud labors of earth to the peace
and rest of heaven—the former in 1867,
tbe latter in 1875
In December, 1860, Mrs. Dudley was
attacked with paralysis, which, to some
extent, impaired her strength, but the
never too feeble on that account to
attend to domestic duties, or to be pres
ent in tho sanctuary when tho weather
was favorable. For some time previous
to her last illness she seemed to be think
ing much of death, nod often remarked
that the hour of her departure was near
at hand. She never contemplated death
with fear and trembling, but calmly and
deliberately viewed the coming event as
one that would bring with it a happy re
leaso from the cares ancl sufferings of
this sinful world.
When the messenger came, therefore,
he found her ready—the house literally in
order—and she was prepared by faith in
Jesus to welcome him as a friend. Thus
without a murmur—free from pain—with
a clear sense of her condition, and with
her surviving children assembled around
her bed, she took her flight to the world
of glory. As the sun was setting, she
departed in hope of tbe glorious resur
rection morning.

Not an Ex-Govkrnor.—Mention has
been made iu Savannah newspapers re
cently of the preeence here of Mr. T. W.
Betts, from Angnsta. and of his arrest
nnder a warrant issued in that city. Mr.
Betts has come to the surface in Augusta,
whither he was taken back, and, after a
fall hearing before Judge Claiborne
Snead npou the charge against him, was
acquitted and released. He says he never
was the Governor of Idaho or any other
territory; that he docs not, and never
did, belong io tbe Radical party, but, on
the contrary has been a Democrat from
boyhood.— Sat. Reics.
E€S-Wo have qoite a number of “good
shots” about here, for whose benefit we
clip the following. It is from the Detroit
Free Press:
A man abont thirty years old. having a
shot-gun on his shonlder and two pigeons
in ono hand, was yesterday standing on
a street corner toiling a crowd that be
had been ont and killed five hundred
pigeons ainoe sunrise.
“Yon are a liarl" shouted some one in
the edge of tbe crowd.
Tho stranger looked at him long and
earnestly, then inquired:
. "Where did you get acquainted with
me?”
Accident at Fort Valley.—The Ea-
faula Times says that Conductor Jim
Denso is u close observer. He observes
tho Fort Valley girls. Ho says they tie
their hair tight behind their beads to
draw the wrinkles oat of their faces,
Tbe other day, one who adopted this plan
got on Jim’s train. He collected her
fare, but before ho passed throngli again
the essential string broke, and Jim came
asking the lady for her fare again.
gk. Tho small, uncomfortable steam-
used in crossing the English Channel
employed because the French bfttbors
will not admit larger ones. The English
have repeatedly offered to defray the
cost of digging oat these harbors, bnt
ior prudential reasons France prefers to
have them shallow.

Will You Believe It ?
Woman’s Best Friend.—To relieve
tbe aching heart of woman and bring joy
where sorrow reigued supreme, is a mis
sion before which the smiles of kings
dwindle into utterinsignificance. To do
this is the peculiar province of Dr. J
Brad field’s Female Regulator; which
from the numberless cures it bus accom
plished, is appropriately styled Woman’s
Best Friend. The distressing complaint
known as the “whites,” and the various
irregularities of the womb, to which wo
man is subject disappear like magic be
fore a single bottle of this wouderful
compound. It is prepared by L. H.
Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta. Ga., and
sold at $1.50 per bottle by respectable
Drug men everywhere. Pnvsieians pre
scribe it. ItR action is prompt, sure and
decisive,

Messrs. Wit. Root & Hons.—Gentle
men:—Some mouths ago I bought a bot»
tie of Bradtield’s Female Regulutor from
you, and have used it in my family with
the utmost satisfaction, and have recom
mended it to three other families and
they have found it just what it is recom
mended. The families who have nsed
your Regulator are now in periect health,
and are able to attend to their household
duties, and we cordially recommend it to
the public. Yours respectfully,
