The Democratic Executive Commit* to) of Sumter county, are requested to meet at the Court House at ten o’clock a. ia., SATURDAY MAY 17tb, 1884. to attend to important business. The chairman respectfully call attention the fact that the 15th and Old 16th Districts are without representatives on said committee, and suggest# that the voters of said districts have a meeting at an early day and elect committee men for said district*.

There are 80,000* more women than Railroad from American to Lumpkin. article on the Americas and Lumpkin railroad, the Independent ha* this to say*. •‘The people are net only thoroughly aroused upon the subject, hot seen united in a determined effort to succeed. In this eedion our citizens only watt for the books to be opened when the amount of subscription needed will •ooa be made up. We have not yet seen a man who flatly refused to aid in the project, but upon the other hand find all willing to aid to the extant of their ability. It is thought that 25,- 000 can be raised within thirty daya after the books are opened. Of coarse the money will not be expected to be paid now, but subscription notes can be taken and used in the building of the road at once. There is P# ruio* why the road ahould not be in full op eration from Americas to Lumpkin by January 1st, 1885.” i glad to bear that the people of Stewart are aroused to the impor tance and necessity of going to work at once upon the contemplated road. The people of that county have the and the public spirit and enterprise to accomplish every thing the Independ ent claims for them; and with sneh prospect there; and Americas, done with her preliminaries and ready to b gin the work here, there is indeed “i reason why the road ahould not be full operation from Americas to Lamp- kin by January 1st, 1885.” Our people will leave no stone un turned, no effort unexpended in burry the work, and we have an abid ing confidence that the same course will he pursued by all other parties in terested in tbe road. Kentucky has held her primaries and favora tbe nomination of Tilden. The Republicans of Mississippi have set square down on the whigi of Geor tf* London had a f25,000,000 fire £ the 26th and an earthquake earlier i the same week. There are 10,000,000 false teeth made annually, at the twelve manufac tories in this country. It is said that in private there is really great enthusiasm for the old tick- et among Tilden and Hendricks. The Constitution claims that all the delegates selected so far to tbe JjjIj Chicago convention are for Tilden. The Legislature of California hat passed an act appropriating $6,000 nually for tbe aid of the silk culture. Moses Fraley, a prominent grain merchant of St. Lonis lost $250,000 one hourla6t week,speculating in wheat James It. Randall, author of '‘Ma ryland, my Maryland,” contemplates publishing hit poems in hook form. In the New York penitentiary 3,600 pairs of shoes are made from the material in ten hours, six pairs to the minute. The annual amount paid by insur ance companies in the United States for losses by fire, is estimated at 000,000,000. John Jacob Astor has presented the Skin and Cancer Hospital of that city $200,000, in gratitndo foT the restora tion of his wife’s health. Gainesville Florida lost 250,000 by fire on the 3d. We see no ment of the amonnt of insurance. Tbe burning was undoubtedly incendiary. The egg crop in this country last year brought $475,682,889. The wheat crop brought 466,689,999, leas than nine million difference,notwithstanding the vast number of eggs and chickens eaten at home. The Sheffield Boom. The remarkable rise and increasing growth of Birmingham and Anniston, Alabama, has turned attention to tbe projected city of Sheffield, Alabama, tbe blnffs of the Tennessee river, be tween Tnscnmhia and Florence. Seven hundred men are working on the new railroad from Sheffield to Birmingham, vo hundred more are laying off renues and streets ot the new city preparing for the sale of lota that will take place May 8th. Ample accom modations are being made for the crowd who will attend the sale, many of rhom are from long diatanoes. Tbe Atlanta office of the Sheffield Land, Iron and Coal Company is busy send ing maps and information to inqnirera. It has been found that iron can be made and shipped by river from Shef field cheaper than from any place in the Union. Investors are already ar riving awaiting tbe sale, and the rail roads have made special rates for those who attend. The Home Paper. Borne writer with a level bead has ese words of troth to say about the local paper: Tbe local newspaper is like a church, it wants fostering; then it can reflect credit on ita location. Take yonr home paper. It gives yon more news of im mediate interest than New York or other papers; it talks for yon when other localities belie yon; it stands np for your rights; you always have a torn panion in yonr home paper, and those who stand np for you should cer tainly be snstaiaed. Yonr interest# are kindred and equal, and yon must rise or fall together. Therefore, it is to yonr interest to support your home paper; not grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit; as a pleasure, not a disagreeable dnty, but an investment that will more than pay the expense. Adam Badean, Consnl General to Cabs, throws a flaming fire brand int<' the ranks of the Federal dynaity. He ■chargee the State Department with grave dera iction trom a public duty, with gross continued neglect of injuri-i and insnlta put upon American citi zens, American seamen and American trade in the island of Cuba; with a va dilating and ignominious policy, etc. He goes on with an eloquent and some what startling phillipic, showing that thousands of dollars have b«en lost to the government, and great and gros* and oft repeated injustice done to tbe interssts of her people by mismanage ment, and that too, in the face of his earnest and persistent protests. Such tidings as this, come from every sec tion, and are borne by every breeze. The Federal administration smells to heaven of rottenness and corruption, and • change of rulers is the only hope that it left us for the preservation of onr liberties. An Unpublished Story on Judge SCHLEY COUNTY MWS. Q. T. WALKER, Dr. Felton will not run for Congress this yeat. Tha Doctor has been de feated twice for the office, and be prob ably thinks “two beats to the bar” is an expression, the spirit of which reaches his case. Great preparations are bdngmade by different states and countries for the World’s Exposition at New Orleans. It is said that the exposition buildings will be considerably larger than those of the centennial. The radical clerk of the court at St. Martinsville, La., was a candidate for re-election at tbe late election. He found his tally sheet was going to be too short and attempted to splice. He sow meditates on tbe ingratitude of republics and the vanity of human lifs, aa he gaaes gloomily through the bars of a prison "Sic transit gloria mun- di." Mrs. A. T. Stewart of New York is said to be the wealthiest widow id the world. She has 25,000,000 in govern ment bonds alone. We know of a little arrangement by which Mrs. S. could be relieved of the care of so much property, and the sub scription of the Soma Repcbucax enlarged at the same time. Wonder if •be wants a pard. There are 19,000 more boys than girls under 21 years of age in Illinois. When those 19,000 boys get a little older let them form a line of march and come down and go to work in Georgia. And if their income shonld be bigger than their outcome, and their morals better than their immoral*, we’ll marry them to a nice set of little red lipped, early headed lasses who will “Share their Joys, dispel their woes, Wash their victuals and cook their dose." A certain legal document in some way was lost in the Sheriff's office at Macon, and for two months Bailiff Joses has been on the bant for it. searched all the shelves and drawers in the office and failed to find it. Mon day night he dreamed that it was among a lot of papers in a certain draw er in the office. So impressed was he by the dream that he looked over the papers dreamed about, tad the misting document was there. The Dixy Cook Book. After a thorough perusal of this book, we feel warranted in pronounc ing it the beat work of the kind we have ever seen. It is complete in all of its details, and superior in economy, mplicity and minutia to all other cook books. It has a variety of de pertinents, all of which are indispensa ble to the house-wife. The agent will take subscriptions now and deliver tbe book in May. Now is the time to ge a gem of a book, and we adviae all U improve tbe opportnnity. The call tor Tilden at the next dem ocratic presidential candidate ia uni verasi in Georgia. The Editor of the Telegraph and two or three little boys in tbe pinev woods are somewhat miff ed, but the convention will give them a sugar teat and all will yet be lovely. —Iihmaelite. Yes, and the Telegraph and Met- •enger insists that if Mr. Tilden is Laminated Nast will fix np such pic tures and caricatnres of him as will beat the race. This amounts to th< assertion that nobody but a good look ing men can be elected. Well, tbe Telegraph is the first paper in tha State, and if it can establish this poli cy tee wont complain, bat some of onr aspiring friends will kick up jack. We return thanks to Senator Jo seph E. Brown for a copy of his speech delivered in the Senate ia reply to Sena tor Morgan in the disenasion of tbe bill to aid in the establishment and tempor ary support of common schools; also for copies of the speeches of Senator, L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, and Daniel W. Voorhses, of Indiana. Senator Brown makes some very strong argu ments in favor of an appropriation by the Government for educational pur- Ex-Senator W. P. Kellog has been tried for corruption in connection with tbe star route case® and acquitted. Bribery was proven on him, clear and plain, but he waa a delegate to the Chicago convention and a power i Republican party, and a trained jury of Washington City were the wardens of his liberty. Swaim comes next, and Swaim’s verdict is already written. Oh Liberty, what Crimea are commit ted in thy name.” At the convention of the Whig par ty, held in Atlanta on the first. Uncle Johnathan Noreross offered a reeolation asking tbe colored brother* to hold separate convention and co-operate. The resolution was voted down. Un cle J. hatted himself and departed and stood not npon the order of his going, but walked away withont leaving word when he'd be hack. At last accounts is doing like John Brown’s coal; be was “marching on.” Senator Brown is not in favor of wo man suffrage. He is seconded by Sen ator Cockrell, of Missouri. These tw< gentlemen brought in a minority report from the committee on woman suffrage They are both Southern men and want to protect Southern womanhood. The majority report advocating this heresy is led by Senator Lapham, of N< York. Tbe Warrenton Clipper talks about history repeating itself and tells hi the friends of Hon. \Vm. H. Crawford s nursed and driven up Peunsyl 1 , Avenue on exhibition, “when about the same physical condition Mr Tilden is.” Onr neighbor is unfortu n tbe parallel he draws. Judge Crawford enjoyed health and serv country for a number of years after tbe time of his candidacy, and yet the Clipper is making tbe comparis convince the public that Mr. Tilden will not be able to do so. A Brooklyn jury deserve etedit for rendering a verdict of manslaughter not long since in a case tried before them where a young man pointed a pistol at young woman in a joke, thinking it was unloedsd, bat the pietel proved to be loaded, and went off, killing the young woman instantly. Therein tirely toe much carelessness in the handling of firearms now-a-day, result ing ia serioma accidents, and i the example of the Brooklyn jury will greatly tend to lseeen each accidents. The Uaseechnsetta Convention of Green backers recommend Gen. Bat ter as a candidate for the Presidency. The General would prefer silver, bnt he’s not particular, any eoct of plunder will do Mm. The following story was told me in the days of my boyhood by a member of the Americas bar and a cotemporary of Judge Dooly. If it was ever pub lished I never saw or heard of the pub lication, although I have looked for it closely. With no fear, therefore, of being charged with bringing forward a snack of cold literature warmed over, I pre sent it to the public. And my object in this is, not so much to invite a smile, aa to preserve a waif that might other wise float forever away: Judge Dooly, on his way to and from a certain uaart, always t-pehl the •light with a rural Un tl->rd, familiarly known as Uncle Btliy Hinson. Uncle Billy wa* full cleverness, kindness and h-uqiicaluy. i*m lie gab- Oed uuceasiugiy and lied as much as he gabbed. Tbe Judge depricate-i •alsehood and iu«inc**ri»y in any person, much more his agreeable host, and not having the courage to bring the matter straight home, in a personal reproof, sought to reach the conscience of his riend by the following circumvention. Late one summer afternoon he waa •pproaching Uncle Billy's house. His borse was gentle and knew where to •top, and he dropped the lines over tbe dashboard aud lay down across tbe eat, feigning sleep. Fresently the mggy stood still at the gate, and Uncle Billy ran ont and began to shake the judicial snorer. Jndge, Judge!" Eb; why hayo. Uncle Billy. My, my. my! what a dream I have had!” What did you dream. Judge?” Well, I was coming here. Uncle Billy, and I like to come here, and I very naturally dreamed about you. Bnt we can’t control these dreams, and I must’nt tell what I did dream—yon might get offeaded.” “Oh, no, no; les’ have it.” “Well, I dreamed I died and to hell. I was disgusted with the ap pearance of things and asked Satan if there were no terms on which he would let me off. To this proposition he re plied: ‘Yes; 1 have not got much work for such an old Miss Nancy and if you’ll go back and send of the biggest liars in the world, I’ll let you stay there 25 years longer.

Dropped Dead. Mr. Alley A. Mungin died very sud denly at his room over Wilder’s furr i- tnre store, Friday morning. He had been in bad health for some time, and while walking in the hallway ad jacent to his room yesterday morning fell on the floor. His wife and Jack Ray’s •rife, who were in the room, heard fall and ran to him. Sapposing thi had only fainted, they carried him the room and laid him upon a bed, and then called Major Wilder. The latti immediately ran np stairs, and as soo_ as he reached Mr. Mungin, saw that he sa dying. Mr. Mungin married one of Mrs. Ray’s daughters, and had been here in feeble health for tome time. He was an engineer and worked at one ot Cap tain Weston’s Mills, down on the B. <fe W. railroad, until his health got so bad he had to quit work and come to the city for medical treatment.—Albany Newt. Drowned In a Mud Hole. On Sunday last a son of Mr. James Darby, about 17 years of age, accom panied by two smaller boys, sons of Mr. A. D. Chambliss, were walking, through tbe woods about fonr miles north of Lumpkin, when they came to a golly in which was a large bole of water caused by the late rains that had fallen in this section. Tbe boys dis covered a larga moccasin in this hole of water and began chunking at it with sticks and rocks. In his eagerness to kill the snake young Darby approach ed teo close to tbe water’s edge when tbe bank gave way beneath him and precipitated him into water several feet deep. He could not swim and toon be gan to drown. One of tbe young boys in attempting to aid him in getting ont lost his balance and fell in also but was rescued by his brother. When young Darby was finally taken from the wa ter life was extinct and ail efforts to ravire him proved futile. The terror- stricken family hastily summoned Dr. Gregory from Lumpkin bat the lad was beyond the pale of earthly hope ere he reached hia lifeless form.

I begged hard to get tbe number duced, but Satan said be waa obliged have 12, and not only that, bnt il ihe 12 were not the biggest and best nost industrious liars on the whole fice of tbe earth, the number would have to be increased. The necessity was inexorable, and l accepted tbe tel Satan then got his scratch book, (Old Scratch of course has a scratch book) and after stating that be well acquainted with all the liara and their relative capacities and qualifica tions, be required me to write down the names of those 1 proposed to kill. I named the best liars I could think of. Satan would not let me embrace, among the 12, a single man i named. His objections were such as these: "He told the truth once, when he thongbt he was about to die.” “7/e lies all the time he talks, bnt he don’t talk enough.” "He'* faithful and indus trious, bnt incompetent “don’t lie to his wife,” “his preacher” or “his jndge.” I became disheartened. 1 had called over 300 of tbe best I could remember and not even one was allowed a place the list. When affliction and distress ov< take me, uncle Billy, I always think of my absent friends, and in that ment of extreme suffering, with a mind abstracted and well nigb unconsciens, my lips unbidden uttered yonr name. As soon as Sajan heard it he grew wild with demoniac mirth and shoek the foundations of Pandemonium with laughter, while huge fire-balla rolled flaming from his eyes. Ha, ba, ha! I declare I had entirely forgotten about Bill Hinson said be, or I never would have required you to send the 12. Just send old Bill, — J I’ll let you off trom the balance, tell you what, Bill’* got a ahifty tongue, ba, ha, ha. Hurrah for Hinson, he will do enough good healthy, marketa ble lying to supply the whole demand of hell. As soon as Bill gets here I’ll take tbe balance of the hands, engaged in that business, and put them to mend ing up chuuks and doing odd jobs. Bill’s all I need. Hell couldn’t bold a bigger, better, snblimer liar than old Billy Hinson, and Satan again made the air tremble and tbe ■ash shake with bis fiendish langh and chugged me ia the side when, jnst then, I bad tbe happiness to wake and find myself in yonr friendly custody.

At 12 o'clock, m., April 20, tbe first telegram was received, giving in formation to Gen. Cobb about the af fairs in Virginia and the armistice in North Carolina, stating that Johnston and Sherman had closed an armistice which would close the war, and ti halt General Wilson’s advance on thi spot when this communication woulf reach him.” This telegram was sen! by General Beauregard. A copy of the telegram from Sherman to Gilmore wat sent by General Beauregard to Genera Fry, commanding the Confederates a Augusta, and by him forwarded to Ms con to General Cobb. Upon the of the telegrams. General Gobi drew his army of about 2.500 m entrenchments around Macon and dis banded it. When the dispatches, under a flag of ice, reached General Wilson, near the Columbus road, he shouted “peace, he refused to halt on the ground. He replied he would only stop when he had reached and captured Macon. He ar rived at Tattnall square about 6:30 p m. without resistance.
