A Card To The Public.
Influenced by the best of motives and
by the exigencies of our town affairs,
a short time ago we published a no
tice of an application to the Legisla
ture for the passage of an Act to in
crease tlie limit of taxation &c., &e.
This policy of the Board wascondcmn
cd by a petition of citizens; and the
Commissioners recognizing the fact
that the public is not in harmony
with the spirit that prompted their
action, respectfully tender their res
ignation to take effect upon the elec
tion of anew Heard. An election is
ordered to take place ten days
from to-dar, and notice of the same
is jioslcd in terms of the law.
l!y means of a now election the public
can unmistakably declare its purpose
to support or defeat the action of the
present Board. Unless our policy is
endorsed, and our represent
atives authorized to intro
duce the bill aforesaid, wo re
spectfully decline to servo any
longer. If tlie citizens stay away
from tlie polls, and fail to elect a
anew Board, wo will consider our
policy endorsed, and will notify our
Legislators that tlie town lias com
mitted itself to an approval of tlie
passage of this Act. We have stud
ied the interests of the town amt have
been in position to know its necessi
ties and feel that it is impossible for
ns to run its government in a suita
ble manner without (lie passage of
tins taw. Other citizens have served
you upon a cheaper plan, and no doubt
would be very happy to serve you
again. Some of them lia\o nothing
to do, and it would be a good oppor
tunity to furnish them with an hon
orable occupation.

MEMOIR.
Tlie subject ot this sketch, H. Wil
lis Wootton, was born in this county
July 27th, 1828. and died at his home
June 7th, 1885, having lived nearly
f>2 years. He was married to Miss
Eliza J. Heard July 4lh, 1848, and per
haps there lias never lived a more
devoted husband, and though no chil
dren were ever horn to tuem they
have been as parents to a largo
number of orphans. Me was re
ceived into the Methodist chnrcb in
1887, Mid for forty-eight years ho
adorned the church of ids choice.
Ills religion was an abiding princi
ple that entered into and regulated
Ilia life. Hence he was true to his
church obligations. Asa man lie
was tender in his affections, but at
the same time firm in ins discipline.
He uilud well ami wisely bis own
household. His servants honored and
respected him and his family loved
and served him. He was always
characterized by habits of temperance
and industry. In business lie was
always prompt. Ho never made an en
gagement and came with an apology.
He always readied the church before
preaching time. lie was one of tlie
few whoso word was his bond. He
would have given up Ids life sooner
than his honor, llis name among
his neighbors, was a synonym of in
tegrity ; as a result ho was called to
those positions in his church whore
integrity and character were essential.
In ins dculli, which was calm and
peaceful, the church lias lost one of
its best members, the community in
which he lived, its best neighbors and
the county one of its best citizens.

PLUCKY HARRY HILL.
H. Eject, a Rough from his Train.
(Atlanta Constitution sth.)
Harry Hill, the well known and
popular conductor on the Georgia
railroad had a lively experience yes
terday.
Conductor Hill brought tho Geor
gia road passenger train to tlie city
yesterday at. 1 o’clock. The train was
crowded from the time it lett Augus
ta until it reached Atlanta. At every
station passengers were added and
before the train had made half the
distance every scat was taken.
A large percent of the crowd was
Fourth of July negroes.
At Covington several negroes
boarded the train with tickets to At
lanta and return. Among (lie ne
groes was Jerry McCauley, a noto
rtoul} bad character. When McCau
ley entered the car lie found every
scat taken. lie at onco began looking
about for someone whom he could
bulldoze out of a seat. Ho was not
long in finding a woman whom he
began so abuse. McCauley has the
reputation of being tho longest, loud
est and hardest swearer between At
lanta and Augusta, and when turned
loose everybody in tlie car feared him.
About the time lie was doing his host
lick Conductor llili entered the car
on liis way through the train. His
appearance made “no—never—mind”
to McCauley, and when Conductor
Hill told him to quit swearing he
cursed tho louder.
“Well,” said tho conductor, “if von
don’t let tip I’ll have to put. you off.”
“Put me oft'," screamed McCauley,
with an oath; “put mo off. Why you
see here. I worked for this road two
years and I know tlie rules as well as
you do. I have paid to ride and lam
going to do it or die.”
“Then quit that swearing,” remark
ed Conductor Hill quietly.
••I’ll swear as much as I please, and
you can’t put me off. You ain’t got
men enough on this train to put me
off. And it you touch that boll-cord
to stop this train, I’ll kill you,” said
the negro, as Conductor Hill started
to reach the chord to atop tho train.
McCauley is a powerfully b uilt ne
gro. He is afraid of nothing, and
liis threats are generally carried out.
Conductor Hill knew all this, but at
tho same lime tin knew liis duty. He
readied the cord anil gavu it a terri
piill. At the samo instant the en
gine shrieked out its signal and tlie
train began to slack up Conductor.
Hill asked someone to go into (lie
next eoacli and get a train hand while
ho remained near McCauley. Hy the
time the train hand responded the
train had stopped. The car was full
and nearly everybody in it knew Mc-
Cauley’s character. They knew lie
hail always sought trouble. They
knew that Conductor Hill would do
his duty and with bated breath they
awaited tlie encounter.
“Come,” said tlie conductor when
the train was at a stand still “prom
iso that you’ll bo quiet or get out.”
“I won’t do either and you can’t
pnt me out” yelled McCauley as lie
squared himself for tlie assault.
“Come in,” said tlie conductor ad
dressing Ids train hand and at the
same time advancing upon McCauley.
Tho two men made a rush and, dodg
ing McCauleys badl aimed blows,suc
ceeded in grabbing him. A desperate
struggle ensued, but tlie combined
strength of tlie railroad men was
more than a match for McCauley.
Slowly but surely they pushed him
towards tlie car door. He caught at
tlie benches, at everything, hut he
was kept on the move and quickly
landed on tlie ground. Unfortunate
ly for Conductor II ill thetrain stopped
near a pile of ballast and the instant
McCauley touched the ground lie be
gan throwing stones at the train
Tho dangerous missiles flew thick
and fast and quick cleared the plat
form. Onestiuck Mr. Bob Connor,
a train hand, on the head, making a
dangerous wound.
Conductor Hill was unarmed and
turning around the asked for a pis
tol. Someone in the crowd handed
him a pistol. He sprang to the
ground and drawing a bead on Mc-
Cauley pulled the trigger, but the
pistol only snapped. This appeared
to amuse McCauley and for a second
the stones rattled about the Conduc
tor’s head.
“It's a self cocker. Pull the trigger
and it’ll go,” said the man who had
handed Conductor Hill the pistol.
Tho conductor pulled the trigger
and a loud report followed. Then
another and another. The report
of tho pistol caused McCauley’s smile
to evaporate, and before the second
shot ho wheeled about and ran. The
train was in a cut and McCauley
went up the bank. As soon as he
reached the top lie began throwing
stones again. Conductor Hill started
his train and iu a few seconds was
out ofMeCanley.s reach..
Tlie train readied Atlanta at one
o'clock and luckily brought in but
one injured man—Mr. Conner. Mc-
Cauley worked for tlie Georgia road
at one time.
Death of Oapt. Francis M. Kelley,
i It is our painful duty to announce
‘lie death of Capt. Francis M. Kelly,
who died suddenly yesterday morn
ing at his home in tlie country. Tho
ne ivs of his death will be a great shock
to the county, Is which he was so
highly esteemed. The sympathy of
tlie entire community is extended to
his afflicted family.
