MACON, JULY 17. 1874.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Fuss in Columbia County.—The
Chronicle and Sentinel has the follow
ing:
Yesterday (Friday) the Deputy Sheriff
of Columbia having warrants in his pos
session charging Fountain Doggett, Dn-
lanc Doggett, Sake Doggett and Eliott
Doggett with riotous conduct, summon
ed a posse and proceeded to arrest the
parties. As the Sheriff and posse were ap
proaching the house of the negroes above
named tho negroes ran for the house,
but the Sheriff and posse being on horse
back, beat them, and succeeded in arrest
ing thorn. Found in tho house many
guns well loaded with buckshot.
After arresting the parties the Deputy
Sheriff started to the nearest Justice
(Thomas Novell.) Some of the prisoners
werotied. They complained the rope
was too tight. The Sheriff untied them.
They commenced whispering to _ each
other. Pretty soon, in a dense thicket,
tho leader of the gang said ho be damned
if white men should arrest him. At thi3
they all broke to run. Tho Sheriff and
posse fired with doublo barrell shot guns
and killed every ono of them. Justice
Novell, acting coroner, summoned a
jury and hold an inquest over the bodies.
Tho jury returned a verdict of justifiable
homicide in discharge of duty. The
following gentlemen composed the coro
ner’s jury: A. J. Avary, foreman; Win.
McDaniel, A. D. Chamberlain, S. N.
Heggie, P. Morris, Charles Morris and
J. L. Eeid.
Previous accounts to the same paper
state that tho negroes of District No. 3,
'in Columbia county, have been purcha
sing arms and organizing military com
panies with hostile purposes—using vio
lent threats against the whites. One
Thomas Boyd, a colored man, who joined
them, informed his employer privately
that they were preparing to make war on
the whites, relying for support on the
negroes of tho adjoining county of South
Carolina, from which they were separated
only by the river, who had agreed to'
back them. The four negroes arrested
wero the ringleaders in the movement.
They pretended to be afraid of Mr. Bob-
ert Lamkin, because several years ago
that gentleman had had trouble with
some of them. In order to give them no
excuse for a further persistence in their
seditious conduct, the citizens requested
Mr. L. to go away for a while, which re
quest ho cheerfully and immediately
complied with—going, wo believe, to
Macon. But this concession seemed to
have no effect, except to make the ne
groes worse and more insubordinate. A
few days ago, while Mr. Minor Luke
was at work in hU field, unarmed,
Delaney Doggett approached, appa
rently for the express purpose of
provoking a collision. He accosted
Mr. Luke in the most violent and pro
fane language. He declared that his
people were armed now and that they in
tended to have revenge. He said Die
Ku-Klux had killed the negroes in 1S70,
and that they were going to have blood
for blood. Threats wero made against
Mr. Luke’s life and tho lives of several
gentlemen residing in the neighborhood.
A meeting of the company had been call
ed for yesterday and it was feared that
on that day they might attempt to exe
cute their threatened vengeance. The
whites had, therefore, determined to
meet them on that occasion, to remon
strate with them and attempt to bring
them to reason. But on Thursday two
citizens, alarmed by the threats which
had been made against their lives, had
warrants taken out against the four col
ored men above mentioned. Friday
morning, between daylight and eight
o’clock, these warrants were executed by
Deputy Sheriff Peter "VVright and a
small posse of men. Tho negroes were
arrested and officcre and prisoners
started for Appling Court-house. When
they reached Major Moody Burt’s mill
one of tho prisoners, Delanoy Doggett,
refused to go any further. He stopped
short in tho road, and declared that he
would not obey any G—d d—d white
man ; ho was as good as they were, and
he would bo d—d if they should carry
him to jail. Tho deputy sheriff ordered
him to como on, and upon his again re
fusing. tho officer, apprehending resist
ance, fired upon him with his shot-gun
and killed him. At the same time the
three other prisoners escaped and were
shot and killed while running. A few
hours afterwards the coroner arrived and
an inquest^jukhping held
our informant left the county taring
the news to this city. The above are the
particulars of this unfortunate affair as
given us. On Tuesday we shall try and
give further details if they can be ob
tained.
Bichuon'd County School Statistics.
Commissioner McLaws makes a partial
report which is published in the Consti
tutionalist of Sunday. He says there arc
in the county 4217 white and 3992 colored
children between the ages of six and
eighteen. Of this number 199 white and
1012 blacks are unable to read. Of those
over eighteen years unable to read there
363 whites and 5069 colored. The cost
of tuition varies in different districts. In
one it is §10 80 and in another §8 10 per
pupil. The teachers’ salaries do not ex
ceed §50 per month.
Coal.—The Atlanta Constitution
boasts that Atlanta can get her coal for
manufacturers’ purposes for $4 40 per
ton. Then it should not cost Macon §11
per ton to boil the pot.
Fobty • nvs Thousand Dollars
Worth of Love Stories.—The Atlanta
Herald is responsible for the statement
that Prof. Win. Henry Peck, well known
in Southwestern Georgia, has laid by
$43,000, earned in tho last five years, by
writing love stories for Bonner’s Ledger,
• and ha3 an offer of §5,000 a piece for
threo for tho New York Weekly. That
shows how love takes in this world among
the girls and boys. The Blue Eyed Dove
of tho Valley and the Bing-tailed Boarer
of the Seas, bring the money.
The Democracy of Fulton count; held
a meeting for organization last Saturday
and appointed an executive committee.
Tho meeting was addrossed by John H.
James, Gen. W. S Walker, S. B. Hoyle,
Capt. John Thomas, T. M. Castleberry,
D. P. Hill and others. It was harmoni
ous and promising.
Civil Eights in Darien. —The Darien
Timber Gazette of the 11th, states the
caao thus:
On Thursday night last, a ball was
given by the colored people of this city,
at Mike Mahoney’s bar room. Charles
Grant and Peter Solomon, both colored,
wero present, and Charles Grant accused
Peter Solomon of calling him a puppy
and told him he would see him about it,
after the ball. When the hall ended,
Peter Solomon started home in company
with twe colored women and a colored
man, and was followed by the said Grant,
and, when reaching a point near the old
Court House, Grant asked for satisfac
tion, saying that Solomon had called him
a puppv. Solomon denied the charge,
and started off, whereupon, he was struck
’ey Grant. 8olomon returned the blow,
and attempted to flee but was prevented
by Grant, who drew his knife and began
the woifc of murder. Solomon at that
time, drew his also, and inflicted several
wounds upon his adversary, which proved
fatal. Grant, as we go to press, is lying
dead near the old Court nouse, where it
is said he was killed in the rencontre.
The physician attending Peter Sclomon,
so wo understand, says he cannot live.
The Darien Gazette rejoices that the
people of that town are getting married,
bnilding houses and having families,
and says that is tho way to do.
In Brunswick the Appeal says an ordi
nance levying a tax of ono and throe-
fourths per cent., was passed at the last
meeting of Council, ono-half of one per
cent, for current expenses, tho samote
pay coupons, and three-fourths Oi one
per cent, to retire city currency. The tax
is three-fourths of one per cent, less than
tho tax of last year; but at the same time
it must bo admitted that a city tax of
one and three-fourths per cent, is a full
price for the privilege of living in Bruns
wick, Ga.
The Appeal says it has always admired
one feature in it3 own character. He is
behind most men to go no farther than
one. Most people admire their personal
tout ensemble, however scurvy the show

The Quitman Independent says the
plantations were deserted last Saturday
to make up the colorod attendance to
send delegates to a Congressional nomi
nating meeting in Albany on the 22d
insfc. Sam Griffin and Moses White were
tho delegates.
Stonewall Furnace.—Tho Borne Cou
rier says in tho lost three weeks, working
only six days in the week, the Stonewall
Iron Furnace ha3 made 315 tons of pig
iron, or 17-j tons per day. Tho average
of charcoal U3ed per ton was 1141 bush
els, and the temperature of the blast
about 700 degrees.
President Battle, of Mercer Univer
sity, has been delivering the annual ora
tion before tho Cherokee Baptist Female
College, and taking old-fashioned views
of the sphere and duties of women. The
Borne Courier says:
His theme was the sphere and mission
of woman, her culture and the power of
her influence under the benign teachings
of a Christian education. While the
Doctor made no attempt at oratorical
display, and he is too old and too well
educated to indulge in sophomoric decla
mation, his address was a happy concep
tion of true womanhood. Woman’s true
sphere of power and usefulness was in
being mistress of tho household, wield
ing the sceptre of love and affection, and
in dispensing the gentler gifts of charity
that make glad the hearts of the poor
and needy. The rostrum, the forum and
tho hustings were foreign to woman’s
nature and repugnant to her instincts;
she was tho helpmeet to man—to soothe
him as ho returns from the battles and
turmoils of life—to make home a para
dise for him—a happy retreat from cares
and vicissitudes, and where the beaming
smiles of woman arc shedding a halo of a
bright life and happy 'contentment
around her as tho welcome of tho queen
to her lord.
Dr. Battle is behind tho times. Tho
true woman, now-a-days, must thunder
in the Senate—carve in the dissecting
room—practice law—lecture—crasade—
preach and spout generally. She must
wear pantalettes, spurs and spectacles,
and carry a whip instead of a fan or
sun-sbadc.
Sharp.—The Thomasvillo Times is of
fering a year’s subscription for the heav
iest watermelon left at that office up to
15th August. Now that man understands
business, and we recommend the Atlanta
Constitution and Herald to quit cbromo3
and doggerytypes and go down to Thom
asvillo for a lesson.
The Bandolph Democracy held an or
ganization meeting on the 7th. Busi
ness in Cnthbert was uncommonly active
one day last week. Evciy merchant,
clerk and lawyer wore straining tho last
sinew after a rabbit which the Appeal
says, "attempted to cross the public
square.”
The Appeal says that Bev. B. A.
MickeJ, of Charleston, S. C., has accepted
an invitation to supply the Presbyterian
Church at that place, made vacant by
tho resignation of Bev. Mr. Cozby more
than a year since. At the close of the
war Mr. Mickel was pastor of a church
in Griffin, where he rejoiced in seeing his
labors owned and blessed, and where
he has many warm personal friends, who
speak of hin^w a pure,
man of Go«?*Sincc hi3
Carolina ho has been the beloved pastor
of a prosperous cburch in Newberry.
Ho will arrive in our midst the latter
part of next week, and enter upon his
ministerial labors.
Early County.—The new3 says thus
far the com crop is unusually good. Cot
ton is somewhat more backward than
last year, but flourishing.
A narrow escape from drowning oc
curred at Jones’ mill, near this place, cn
the afternoo|| of Tuesday last. A num
ber of Iadie.c and gentlemen were at the
mill, when Mr. E. W. Davis, Mis3 Nellie
Douglass, and Mr. Jesse Weston, of
Dawson, who is on a visit to his friends
in our town, concluded to c-njoy the fun
and pleasure of a boat ride. The party
had proceeded some fifty yards from
shore, when tho small and untrusty
batteau capsized, precipitating the trio
into the deepest part of the pond. There
being no other boat on tho pond, but
little assistance could be rendered by
those on shore. Mr. Davis being a good
swimmer, caught MisB Douglass and
managed to keep her head above the sur
face, and encouraged Mr. Weston to
strikeout for himself; but while strug
gling with Mass Douglass, Mr. D.’s feet
became entangled in the water lilies—
“bonnets”—making tbeir position one of
extreme peril. M r - Jas. D. Jones having
swam out to their relief, reached them at
this critical moment, and by the united
efforts of the three gentlemen, all reached
tho dhore in safety.
Is Jonc3 young and single ?
Down in the Southeast.—Tho Ala-
paha Forrester says:
Since our last report of the condition of
crops in this section we have been visited
by heavy and almost incessant rains, and
some apprehension has been felt of a
general overflow. Tho showers have
done no material damage to com on other
crops than cotton. Wo learn, however,
that the latter ha3 been injured conside
rably in somo parts of this and the ad
joining counties. Com, potatoes, sugar
cauo and rice are flourishing, and are
now perhaps far beyond the reach of dis
aster. Tho com crop of this year in Ber
rien county will probably exceed that of
any previous year by one-third. There
is no spirit of despondency exhibited by
our planters, and the probability is that
a few more hot, sunshiny, days, like the
three just past will set everything ex
actly "square.’' We have heard of no
report of caterpillar in the wiregrass
counties as yet. In other counties, flying
rnmora have it that they are doing some
bad work already. We are afraid tbe
continued rains will serve to germinate
them, but still there is some hope.
Columbus jm. attebs.—From the Co
lumbus Sun and Enquirer of Sunday we
take the subjoined i—How Colored
Churches Grow.—N. H. Ashurst, a
colored Baptist minister, started a church
over the river two years ago with seven
members. He immersed last year sixty-
six converts, and the church'now num
bers one hundred and forty-seven mem
bers, with a congregation of five times
as many.
It is estimated that the different banks
in Columbus have on deposit over half a
million of dollars—probably §700,000. 1
On Taesday last a half interest in the
Oconee Cotton Mill, in Greene county,
was sold by tbe order of tbe Court of
Ordinary of Thomas county, and brought
§6,600. It is on the Oconee river, and
has very fine water power.
We sawyesterdayaletter just received
from a large planter on Dear Creek, Mi3s.
It is stated there had been no overflow
in that section, and cotton was 25 per
cent, better than last year. No grass,
and everything lovely for good crops of
com and cotton.
The Cotton Acreage of Muscogee
County.—Last year the returns showed
that 14,715 acres in Muscogee had been
planted in cotton. The general estimate
is that it has been decreased this season
ten per cent. The prospect now is that
the yield may exceed that of 1873, though
the acreage has been reduced. Last year,
9,826 acres of this county wero planted in
com. This has probably been increased
fifteen per cent, this year.
Cotton Factories at Columbus.—
Five are now in operation, but, counting
the separate large buildings, there are
really seven. They run 32.000 cotton
and 2,200 woolen spindles, and take over
8,000 hales of cotton and many hundreds
of wool annually.
Orchards.—This county has 447 acres
in orchards. Thus far, however, but lit
tle good fruit has been brought to mar
ket. Peaches are small and very wormy,
and apples are miniature editions of what
they should bo. The fruit crop, except
the blackberry one, seems to have been a
failure all around.
The Thomaston Herald raises the
name of Col. A. D. Hammond for tho
fifth district.
A County Democratic Convention of
Upson is called on the 1st of August next.
Gen. Colquitt addresses the Dpson Gran
gers to-morrow. Peaches are selling in
Thomaston at a dollar per bushel.
Corn.—Wo are informed, says the
Thomaston Herald, that several enjoyed
a feast of new com on the 4th inst. The
crop generally through tho county is
reported to be Teiy flattering. We hope
that good seasons will continue to come
and a fine and heavy corn crop will be
realized. It is especially needed.
New Wheat.—Several lots of new
wheat have been brought in town and
sold at from §1.00 to §1.25 per bushel.
The Griffin Daily News says:
Len Doyal brought in a stalk of cotton
yesterday which was four feet high.
While his crop will not average this size
still he has a splendid prospect.
Mr. W. C. Lyon, of the large firm of
Waxelbaum & Co., of Macon, yesterday
rented the elegant store-house recently
occupied by Stewart & Newton, and will
open a stock of goods in it on the 1st of
September. This i3 one of tho largest
firms in Georgia, and they may rest as
sured that their branch business will
meet with a cordial welcome in Griffin.
The Madison Home Journal announ
ces the retirement on account of ill-
health of T. J. Burney, Esq., as Treasur
er of Mercer University. The Board of
Trustees passed very complimentary res
olutions to Mr. Burney. J. T. Wingfield,
Esq., of Washington, Wilke3 county
has been elected to succeed Mr. Burney.
The Fort Gaines Messenger says Mr.
A. W. Brannon, cf Pomaria, handed us
ono day this week, a grown boll of cotton,
and says ho has plenty moro like it.
This is the largest we have ever seen
this season.
What Mister B. E. Simmons Did.—
The Borne Commercial tells as follows:
On Friday night Mr. B. B. Simmons
attempted to enter the houso of a gen
tleman living on Mr. Funderburk's place,
about six miles from Borne, with a drawn
pistol, threatening to kill him. Tho gen
tleman having a double-barreled shot
gun in the house told Simmons if ho did
come in he would shoot him. He then
loft the door but remained around tho
house for somo time trying to get a shot
through tho window. Tho gentleman
sued out a warrant for hi3 arrest beforo
a Justice in tho district and Bailiff Bico
left Saturday morning to mako the arrest,
but up to a late hour yesterday evening
had not returned.
Is it not an excess of courtesy to ap
ply the Mister to such outlaws ?
Lowndes County. — The Valdosta
Times says a meeting of tho Democratic
Party of Lowndes county will be held in
Valdosta on the first Monday in August
next, for the purpose of appointing dele
gates to the Congressional Convention,
and other business of importance.
Tbe Tyranny and Nonsense ot
Gloves.
Yet. after all. says Harper’s Bazar, the
V earnest, faithful fcV hole thing seems be simply des-
removal to SjBifJZ and ifrational/Kcial an! Unna
tural. Bead tbe dictum of a lately pub
lished brochure upon etiquette at the
national capital: "Gloves must bo worn
upon entrance to the drawing-room, but
must always be taken off at the momont
one is seated at the table. A recent in
novation permits that the gloves shall
not bo replaced at all after their removal
at tho table. This, however, may be
only one of those flitting fashions worn,
like the glove, for the moment, and then
cast aside. Yet do not forget that dur
ing tho serving of a dinner tho waiters
in attendance alone wear gloves. And
even the waiter serves with greater ele
gance with tho thumb of tho hand
wrapped in a "damask napkin. Under
sucii contradictory and capricious regu
lations, is there any excuso to bo found
in pure reason, we should like to know,
for having put on the glove in tho first
place ? And may we not ask why, ex
cept to protect our hands from tho
weather, from frost and sunburne or in
reverence to the prurient modesty of the
Turkish veil, wo ever wear gloves at all ?
Fancy Aspasia beforo her judge with
gloves on! Did Helen of Troy, when she
"shadowed her beauty in white veils”
to go out on the ramparts with the
old king and see her former guests and
comrades, wait to draw on her gloves ?
No; the ideal of the ancient woman re
jects anything of such counterfeit nature ;
and why should the modern woman hold
herself less near an ideal than her prede
cessor ? Is there any logic to be found
in the use of the glove other than as a
wrap ? Are we so abject that we may
not offer our hare, hand? Our acquaint
ance so unworthy that wo cannot' take
theirs? Is there" leprosy in the
touch? For our own part, though we
hardly imagine that our opinion will turn
the currents of society into any fresh
channel, yet we cannot bnt think that
the abandonment of gloves at unpreteh*-
tious evening circles, with the simple
and inartificial dressing which that aban
donment might bring about, would go
far toward introducing a very different
and more desirablo state of thingsj to
wards allowing people with cultivation
and intelligence, but without tho means
of providing and varying the evening
dress entailed by gloves, to participate in
society; and toward giving it that easy
atmosphere of intellectual brilliancy
which ought to he found where polished
men and women meet for purposes 62 fes
tivity and divertisement.
The "Extort Courteous.” — Lord
Chesterfield happened to be at a ball in
France where Voltaire was ono Of the
guests. The former was gazing abont
the brilliant circles of ladies, when Vol
taire accosted him with, "My Lord, I
know you are a judge; which are the
most beautiful—the English or the French
ladies?” “Upon my word,”.replied his
lordship, with his usual presence of mind,
"I am no connoisseur of painting.”
Some time after this, Voltaire, being in
London, went to a nobleman’s ball with
Lord Chesterfield. A lady in the com
pany, prodigiously painted, directed her
whole discourse to Voltaire, and entirely
engrossed his conversation. Chesterfield
came up and tapped him on the shoulder,
saying, "Sir, take care yon are not capti
vated.” “My Lord,” replied the French
wit, "I scorn to be taken by an English
vessel under French colors.”

Tbe Lair In a Muddle.
Washington, July 13.—A distin
guished practitioner at tho Supreme
Court bar furnishes tbe following article:
The act to revise and consolidate the
statutes of tho United States in force on
the 1st of December, 1873, was approved
on the 27th of June, 1874, and it repeals
all acts of Congress passed prior to the
first named date, any portion of which is
embraced in any section of said revision,
but the enactment of said revision is not
to affect or repeal any act of Congress
passed since the first day of December,
1873, and all acts passed since that date
aro to have full effect, as it passed after
the enactment of the revision; and so
far as such acts vary from or conflict
with any provision contained in said re
vision they are to have effect as subse
quent statutes, and as repealing any por
tion of the revision inconsistent there
with. The first practical muddle which
this state of the law has produced arises
in the bankrupt law, which occupied
titlo 61, and covers 161 sections of the
book.
. During tho same day on which the re
vised statute wa3 approved, Congress
amended, the bankrupt act of 1867 in
many important particulars. The amend
ments called for the act of 1867, and not
for tho corresponding sections in the re
vised code; and tho act of 1867 itself is
so transposed, if not changed, a3 to ren
der it impossible for the courts to pro
ceed with safety until after the publica
tion of the revised code. Many other
chapters present a similar difficulty, so
that it may now be truly said no one
knows the statute law of the United
States.

country—it is. - I don’t know whar ay

It la a Fact,
That many grocers sell Dr: Price’s Boh-,
ing Powders at the same price they do
tho cheaper kinds, and as they hate to
pay more for it, make less money; hence
they never sell it unless the purchaser
demands it. They place it out of sight,
and urge their customers to take the
common kinds because they are more
profitable. Let consumers beoome ac
quainted with tbe fact that it is only
necessary to mix one part flour to two
ports Dr. Price’s Cream Baking 'Powder
to make a powder as perfect in its results
as other kinds, and there are few who
would pay the same price for the adul
terated articles as for Dr. Price’s, net
when flour costs less than six cents per
pound. Dr. Price’s powder is not sola ia
