Relief Must Cone From Some Source
—Mr. Steininger's Letter.
In another column of the Democrat
to-day we publish a letter trom Mr. Julius
Steiningcr, of this city, making a proposi
tion which we trust will meet the hearty
approbation of every true mnu in* the
county. That proposition is no more nor
less than an offer on his part to become
one of a stock company to make up a
pool to buy and advance bread aud meat
to the suffering people of this count}-.
His appeal is a strong one, and must go
straight to the heart of every true man or
woman in the land. It is an appeal to the
humanity and better nature of those who
are fortunate enough to be in circum
stances where they can help a “weary,
careworn brother.” But we wish to add
our appeal to that of Mr. Steiuinger, and
would to God we could command lan
guage with which to express what we
feel in the matter.
The condition of affairs in this county,
as Mr. Steininger very well remarks, is
alarming. But this is but the beginning
of the end, and if no re ief measures are
brought to bear we firmly believe our
county is ruined. It is a sad commentary
upon our ability and judgment as a peo
ple ’tis true, but nevertheless it is a fact,
and we might as well open our eyes to
the true situation now and meet the issue
fairly and squarely.
We met a gentleman a few days ago
who told us that he did not have a mouth
ful of bread in his house, and not a grain
of corn to feed his horses. He was at the
time out among his frieuds trying to bor
row a few dollars to supply immediate
wants. This gentleman before and since
the war has stood high as a well-to-do,
solvent farmer. Nor is this an isolated
case by any means. We have heard of
numbers of farmers who will be compell
ed to abandon their crops, anil turn their
horses out to grass, if not assisted. This
is not all—actual want is now upon our
people, and before the Summer is over
starvation may be expected. There are
hundreds of idle luborers loafing around
the county simply because the farmers
cannot emp loy them. These people .have
to eat, and if we do not arrange to give
them employment, they must be forced to
steal and rob. And to speak candidly, no
one could much blame them, for the
pfachings of hunger are terrible enough.
These are facts well known to a great
many in this community, and those who
have not thought of it before will be con
vinccd of the truth of what we say by
even a casual observation.
Then what is the remedy ? Mr. Stein
inger has suggested it. Let the whole
people of the county meet in convention
at an early day. Then Jet eyery man
present who can possibly spare anything
at all, however small the amount, sub
scribe, in money or supplies. When the
amount is made up, then let advances be
made to the people, with the understand
ing that the whole is to be paid hack this
fall when the crops are sold. Thus it
will be, by every man contributing a
little, sufficient advances can be secured
to save the growing crops to the people ;
those who contribute will not feel it, and
in the end recover their money in full.
There are more reasons than one which
should suggest themselves to the mind of
every true man in this matter. First, the
common dictates of humanity which ap
peal straight to our hearts—bearing in
mind the golden precept which srys “do
unto others as you would have them do
unto you.” Second, every interest of the
county demands it, for, if the crops
already planted should have to be aban
doned, what can we promise ourselves for
another year * Times will be worse than
now, and we submit that it is to every
man’s interest, whatever may be his condi
tion at present, to join in this laudable
move and help rescue our common county
from the thraldom of distress and actual
suffering.
We hope a convention may be called
at once, for if we delay it may be too late,
and the disease win not admit of a remedy.
Pleasant Occasion.
Last Sunday afternoon the regular
monthly meeting of the Bainbridge Mis
sionary- Society took place at the Metho
dist church in this city. Rev, Mr. Lock-
wood presented to the Society, in behalf

for the Society by Mr. Jas. S. Russell, in
a neat little address. Rtv. Dr. McKee
also addressed Hie Society, on the subject

A SHOT AT OUR HARSHAL
Bullets Flying at Close Quarters.
Last Thursday Mr. G. Warren Donal-
CEHTENNIAL FRESHET-
We present below an article from the Co
lumbus Times, of (he 4th, in regard to the
great freshet. It will prove interesting
sou, of this county, C3tne to town, and j reading to our citizens:
during the day imbibed too freely of j Yesterday Columbus witnessed the great-
ivhat our popular temperance Ucturers | est freshet ui the Chattahoochee river that
even the -oldest inhabitant ’ recollects.
Those who were here iu 18-’>5, and at the
tiineot the celebrated Harrison freshet in
It'll, that carried away the river bridge,
say that there was a greater volume of wa*
ter in the river yesterday than either of the
other occasion-. While the river is not
quite as high up on the hanks, there is
more water, because now at Columbus the
would call “the wine when ii> red,” but
what the boys about town denominate
-“red licker," and before night had reach
ed that state of mind and body generally
occupied by the young man who went out
west with a lecturer on temperance, and
whose business it was to get drunk and
stand outside at the door qs au example.
Becoming boisterous in his language and
conduct, he was admonished by the Mar- rWcr is otlMMrJ wider, and but for that
shal, Mr. E. H. Smart, that he must desist fact> W ould be out of its embankment above
or take the consequences—and any well
regulated youth knows what Iienry means
by “consequences.” Ml. Donalson drew,
or attempted to draw, a pistol, but was
quickly disarmed by the Marshal an ft his
assistants. Subsequent to this, still be
ing at large, he went to Mr. Smart and
told him he was going home, and upon
his promise to do so was given his pistol
back. This was about 5 o'clock.
At about seven o’clock, 3Ir. D. having
failed to go home as he had promised to
do, and becoming again very boisterous
aud obscene, Mr! Smart went to him again,
whereupon Donalson commenced curs
ing the Marshal in good earnest. By some
persuasion, however, he was induced to
go home, and Mr. Smart went with the
intention of going out on the edge of
town and starting him off. When near
Mr. Rutherford’s residence (Donalson rid
ing his horse and Smart walking by his
side and alone) Mr. Donalson suddenly
and without warning drew his pistol aud
placing it against Mr. Smart’s breast, pull
ed trigger. Fortunately the pistol did not
fire. Mr. Smart, being unable to drag
him from his horse after a desperate at
tempt in that direction, stepped back ard
took from his pocket a small derringer
pistol, but in attempting to drawback the
hammer his finger slipped and the pistol
fired prematurely, wounding himself
slightly in the left hand. While Mr.
Smart was drawing his second pistol, Mr.
Donalson fired two shots, neither taking
effect, and then putting spurs to his horse
went in a direction almost due South
from Bainbridge, and at a pace closely
approximating the speed of the celebrated
John Gilpin in his famous race. When
about thirty paces off Mr. Smart fired his
last shot at Donalson, but without taking
effect,
While we cann t command language
sufficiently expressive to condemn the ac
tion of Mr. Donalson—who we know,
had he been sober, would have acted far
differently—at the same time we cannot
conclude this article without alluding to
the great mistake made by Mr. Smart in
not. stopping the thing summarily before
it was allowed to reach sr.ch -serious pro
portions. Especially do we think it un
wise to return arms to an intoxicated man
after having once*been disarmed, and the
officer who does so places his own life in
danger, as well as allowing a chance for
a whisker-crazed being to commit some
. #
desperate crime against God and man.
The Labor Question-
We have already alluded to file great
number of idle laborers in tills section,
and have endeavored to ascertain some
method by which we could assist them to
procure labor. Learning that the section
adjacent to Columbus was in need of la
bor, caused by the depletion of farms by
Western emigrant agents, a gentleman in
tills city wrote a letter to Columbus on
the subject, which we copy below. There
are a large number of industrious colored
men and women in this county who are
out of employment, not because of any
indisposition on their part to work, but
because of the fact that there are none
here who can employ them. Then we
advise those people to seek other fields,
where their labor will command for them
a support and independence.
The letter referred to was printed in
the Columbus limes, and is as follows:
Bainbridge, Ga., March 27, 1879.
R. J. Binford, Esq.:
Dear Friend—I learned some time
ago that your section suffered for the want
of labor; that many plantations bad been
abandoned on that account. If you know
of such need, say to the parties that any
quantity of good labor, men and women,
can be bad here at very low figures, and
would be glad of the opportunity to get
employment. These parties are entirely
without provisions, and no one able to
supply them here, even for work, and
they will be forced to do something to
ret them. Unless some arrangement of
this kind is made, much suffering must
ensue. I will aid any in procuring this
labor, if such is desired. Please let me
hear from you early on this subject.
Your friend,
William Warfield.

Desperate Rencounter-
We take the following from the last
Camilla Enterprise: “From Judge J. J.
Bradford, of this county, we learn the
particulars of a desperate rencounter in
Decatur county, near the line of Mitchell,
Tuesday of last week, between Messrs.
Nixes, Otis Powell and Godwin, all of
Decatur county. The- gentlemen were at
work ou the roads and a difficulty arose fering the freshets .
the Nixes and Mr. Otis Powell. Mr. God-
ami below the city. The bridge, where the
present ohl bridge stands, was washed away
in 18-11. hut when the present one was
placed twelve feet higher than the other,
THE RISE.
The rise in the river began Sunday morn
ing and rose very rapidly Lhrough the day,
rising at one time seven feet in t wo hours.
The rise was then gradual until yesterday
noon it had reached its highest, having
risen about fifty feet above the usual water
mark. Early yesterday morning it was ru
mored through the city that the
BRIDGES
were in danger of being washed away, and
at the announcement hundreds of people
flocked to tl e river to witness the commo
tion that such a catastrophe would occasion.
The Mayor, with the police and all the city
hands, repaired to tha bridges aud took up
the flooring to prevent vehicles from pass
ing. Several of the hands were placed be
neath the bridge on the pillars, and with
poles were busy at work keeping the drift
wood from lodging against the bridge. This
they satisfactorily accomplished, and thus
helped to save the bridges. The lower
bridge was unharmed except a sort of stav
ing in of one of the trestles resting on the
stone work. The upper bridge sustained
some injury by the washing away of some
of the masonry work around two of the
abutments. The railroad bridges were un
hurt, though the water w.is in two feet of
the Mobile and Girard Railroad bridge.
THE FACTORIES,
owing to the high water, suspended worki
The water rose four feet in one of the base
ment rooms at the Muscogee factory, doing
but little damage, however. The cotton of
the factory was stored in one of the rooms,
but was removed before any damage occur
red. The Eagle & Phoenix was unhurt,
though in a part of their basement the wa
ter was very high,
It may be several days before the water
recedes sufficiently for these factories to re
sume work, in the meantime, throwing sev
eral hundred hands out of employment. We
heard nothing from Clapp’s factory, and
therefore suppose everything intact. Half
of their machinery was running all of yes
terday. •
r.utso.iDS.
All the railroads leading into the city
have sustained more or less injury, except
the North A South Bail road, which is in
good order. The Western Railroad is
washed up- between Shorter’s station and
Mcur.t Meigs, Dear Montgomery, aud as a
consequence, no train came in from Mont
gomery yesterday. An engine was sent as
tar as Opelika, hut no train from Montgome
ry or Atlanta.
The Southwestern train arrived and went
out on schedule time, but since the 1 o’clock
train left, it is understood that the embank
ment at Reaver creek, near Flint river, in
the Howard plantation, is washed away.
The Mobile & Girard Railroad, it seems,
has sustained more injury, as it is reported
a large part of the track below Union Springs
has washed up. The bridge over the Uchee
has sustained some damage, one of the piers
being washed away. There are other por
tions of the track along the road under wa
ter, and, until the river subsides, the exact
damage cannot be ascertained. No trains
arrived or left on this road yesterday. An
engine with Mr. Clark and a force of work
men went down, but. returned to wait until
the water goes down
THE BOATS.
The Wylly left Eufaula Saturday evening,
and so high was the river that she only ar
rived yesterday morning, and tied up against
Porter’s Foundry. Sunday night she was
in sight of the city, but could make no
headway, and when she started yesterday
morning she was three hours coming three
miles.
The Big Foot left Eufaula shortly after
the Wylly, and arrived last night at half
past 11 o,clock, all right.
INCIDENTS.
Hundreds of people were on the river
bank all day, just watching the rising water
and commenting on the scene.
It is an ill wind that blows no good to
anybody, and so it is with the freshet-
Many poor families without wood were yes
terday enabled to lay in a supply to last
for some lime. Many men and women were
on the bank, wherever the river formed an
eddy, catching krift wood by means of
throwing a long line with a weight attached
to it over the log, and hauling it to the'
bank.
Reports from all parts of the countiy tell
of hard rains and washed lands. The river
places below here ar« all under water for
miles. Macon, Augusta, Savannah and in
! fact every place we have heard from are suf-
win here engaged in the difficulty in be
half of Mr. Powell, when he was struck a
desperate blow with a hoe which broke
his skull iu two places. The wounded
man, our informant states, will certainly
die of his injuries. Our informant knew
nothing of the cause of the difficulty.”
MAN OVERBOARD.
A good deal of excitement was occasioned
by the report that a man had fallen in the
river and was drowned. We repaired to
the place and found that the man was not
drowned, but pretty near it It seems he
was standing near the bank above Colonel
Motts, catching drift wood, and the bank
caved in, taking him along. He happened
to drop in shallow water, and by the aid of j
some bystanders was hauled to land. Aside j
from a good ducking, and a pretty good j
sized scare, no damage was done. He did
not fish after any more wood, being satisfied
HELP FOR THE COUNTY-
A Proposition-
Editors Democrat:
1 beg a small space in your columns to
make a suggestion in the direction of re-
. lief for our destitute county citizens, and
! tru-t that a move may be made ift tho
j matter without delay.
1 1 propose,"ftistead of forming a stock
! company for the purpose of holding a
; fair, that we go to work and get up a
j Stock Company, take tiie proceeds to buy
| supplies, and advance these supplies to
! the destitute people of the county. After
these supplies are bought, they can be let
out to fanners, taking their notes, which
cau be paid next fall after their crops are
sold. Parties will then, this fall, receive
their money back, and the whole will
amount to a simple loan to those farmers
who are unable to procure supplies to run
their farms.
The merchants arc unable to advance
to planters, and the past disastrous season
has left many fanners where they will
have to abandon their growing crops un
less aided in some way.
Messrs Editors, I am prompted to make
this proposition solely with a view to help
the needy. Those who are more fortunate
in this world’s goods, should assist their
unfortunate brothers in distress.
Affairs in this county are simply alarm
ing, and call for a bold, swift and speedy
remedy. I would suggest that the Direc
tors of the Fair Association call a meeting
of the citizens of the county at once and
let something be done. I have no specific
plan to offer, but am willing to do my part.
Respectfully
Julies Steininger.
THE RIVER-
The Centennial Freshet of the Flint.
Flint river is booming. It commenced to
rise about eight days ago, and has continued
steadily rising until to-day(Wednesday), and
now, so we learn, is about on a stand. It is
not quite as high as it was last spring, lack
ing about ten inches of reaching the mark
of that time.
The plantations along the river are inun
dated, but at this time it is impossible to
tell what has been the damage to the plant
ers. Those who had planted corn in the
river bottoms will be compelled to replant,
and that is about the extent of the damage
in this section, as we had no storm and the
rains were comparatively light. The bridge
at this plaoe is o. k., but the Free Ferry
lost its buoys.
An Eleganf Soda Fountain-
Mr. J. D. Harrell, of this city,has in his
possession one of the most elegant as well
as complete Soda Fountains we ever saw.
It is of triple silver plate on white metal,
about the size of a water-cooler, and pro
duces as fine soda water as we ever tasted.
The fountain is charged in five minutes,
and the whole cost of the soda water when
made is insignificant, five times cheaper,
and better than that produced by the most
costly apparatus.
Mr. Harrell has procured the agency for'
this unique Soda Fountain for our State
and will soon start upon his mission. He
furnishes the Fountain and fixtures for
$150,00; and he should sell at least two or
three iu all the towns he passes.
Mr. II. is a native of Bainbridge, has
been in the mercantile business here all
his life, is a man of the strictest integrity,
and is much esteemed by all. That he
will sell his Fountains and leave a favor-
ble Impression of himself where he goes
we have not a doubt.
Death of Mrs. J. H- Bodiford.
Died, At the residence of her husband,
Mr. James H. Bodiford, in Baker Coun
ty, o’! the 2d day of April last, Mrs. Mary
A. Bodiford, aged 46 years and three
months.
This estimable lady was born in Barn
well county, South Carolina, but for many
years has been a resident of Baker coun
ty. The deceasod had been a member of
the Baptist-Church for twenty years, and
was a fervent Christian, who by her pious
example through life, “allured to brighter
worlds and led the way.” At the bidding
of Him in whom she trusted, she quietly
folded up the book of her life, and went
to repose from the cares of this world, in
the bosom of her Father, and her God.
She was a fond mother, a faithful
friend and a devoted wife.
S.
The Passover.
The Jewish feast of the Passover com
menced at sunset last Saturday evening.
This is in commemoration of the wonder
ful and great event in ancient Jewish his
tory, when the first born of all the fami
lies in Egypt "were slain in a single night,
except in those houses designated as be
longing to Jews, by having their door
posts and lintels sprinkled with the blood
of lambs. It is ip commemoration of
this event that the feast of unleaven bread
is held, and it is observed faithfully
throughout the world wherever there is a
Jewish community.
Weil & Loeb.
We paid a visit on yesterday to the
