Mb. Lax Beams, of Dawson, is dead.
Habut J. Evan.—Albany etc*: A
short article was copied in this paper last
week from the Macos ‘fxiixauara sm
MBssxxaxB, alleging eome dark transac
tion.! on the part ot one who ealls him
self Hi»dry J. Byau. ,
Mr. By an spent about ten days in Al-
banv last month; and by his social dispo-
sic ja, elever conversational powers and
neat dress became ‘‘one of the boys,”
wUl-cat mnoh tronble. He presented bis
serd to numbers of onr eitiseni, and was
received politely and attentively as a
representative insnranoe man.
Shortly- after the first appearanoe cf
the item in the Tzleqbafh, Mr. J. L
Eniid, of Pelham, Mitoneli county, fear
ing that he had been “taken in" by a
swindler, inasmuch as he had paid $75 to
By an for $1,500 insurance policy on hie
mill property, telegraphed to Savannah,
where Byan then was, and had him ar
rested. Mr. DeGraffenreid, the sheriff
of Uichell county, went down immedi
ately after him, and deoided to bring him
to the Albany jail for safe keeping.
When the cars which brought the Sheriff
and prisoner were within a few miles of
JGbiiy on Friday night, Byan jumped
est of the window and fled through the
woods, p
K«xt sWn of Byan was when he ap
proached the camp fire of Messrs. Wat
son and Davis, two gentlemen from
Worth, who were en route to this city
with prodace. He asked to be allowed to
warm. The gentlemen consented, and
Xjau, after warming and passing a few
words, left, going down the road.
At a late breakfast hour a note was
KCt ired at Ventulea’s restaurant, signed
by Byan, asking that breakfast be sen'
him. Sheriff DeGraffenried then went
to look after him. No oatoh. Then Mr.
3. V. Kemp took trail, ami in a snort
time brought Mr. Byan to towB, and
turned him -over to Sheriff Edwards at
the jail, where bs is now oonfined await
ing trial, whioh is to be held at Camilla
to-day.
Mr. Byan is said te express himself as
being certain of acquittal, and thinks he

nesday of last week the section of onr
eonniy west of the river was the scene of
one of those horrible outrages so oommon
apparently all over the oomnty, bat from
whioh we have heretofore enjoyed almost
an immunity. A yonng married lady ot
as respectable family as any in the oonnty,
was alone at her home, while her husband
was away at work. She obsoived a ne
gro man approaching the honse, and sup
posing it was one whom eho know, she
sailed to him by name. The negro
answered to the name, approaohed her as
aha was going from the honse
to the kitchen, and just
»h, saw her mistake seised
• her, and oarrying her tato the honse, suc
ceeded in executing his horrible pnrpoie,
and then made bin escape. Word was at
otoe sent to sheriff Coyle, and search was
at thf- same time inetitmed in the neigh
borhood. «her iff Coyla that night ar-
jei. ~d a negro and lodged him in jail.
On Thu—Jay, a deputation came over and
wished to take the man with them for
identification, as the lady was too nnweli
%o comd to towDp This tho shcr-
iff refused to acoede to. fearing that wo
ja. ary vengeance might be visited upon
the uiau if the lady swore to his hein<-

sequently ihe lady was brought to town,

him as not the guilty one. He was re-

On tne subjeotof “Bice la Sontkwn

a reoen; article we called attention to the
increased produotion of rioe in the pine
barrens of wiregrass Georgia. It was
formerly thought that this important ce
real conld be successfully raised for sale
only along the tide-water region of Sonth
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, but later
deveiooments have shown that it .is far
more profitable-than corn even when
planted on the dry, Bandy soil of wiregrass
Georgia. Unless well manured, but little
of the land in this last ngion will pro
duce twenty bnshela of oorn per aore,
and moat of it will produce that much rice,
even without manuring. With manure,
it will produce from thirty to forty bnan
els per acres, and this at one dollar and
twenty-five centi per bnahel, will be far
more remnnvrating to the farmer than
oorn. The experience of the last ten
years proves this to be true. Bice is not
more troublesome to grow than corn.
The same or less labor which is required
to make a orop of oorn, will produce one
of rioe. Then why not make rice the
staple orop throughout the pino belt of

We axe just in receipt of last Wednes
day’s Dispatch, oont sining a column of
feeble jokes on the oityof Maoon, Tel.

sprinkling, also, of pmiva for Hoff, who
advertises with the Dispatch, and some
personal allusions to one of the editors of
this paper, whom the Dispatch supposes
wrote the eriticiim on lloff. Tho sub
ject is a little worn, yet as the Dispatch
seems to suffer aomewbaty it is but right
that we should say onr local editor,
through the local colamas, simply ex
pressed the opinion of the. Txlxobaph
and Messenger and of the citizsns of
Macon upon Hoff’s actions. As a gvesaer

Savannah News: As your correspond
ent could not go on both trains, be was
consequently, as a matter of comae, nn-
aols to enjoy the ran with tbe Chat-
hams on their trip. His opeoially ap
pointed deputy, however, wee faithful,
and drops a few notes of the journey as
follows: ' .
The Cbathams, under oommand or
Lieutenant Harmon, left on a special
oar by the Central Bailrosd on Tuesday
night and arrived in Maoon at 7:30 next
morning. We were met at the depot by
the Macon Volunteeiu, under command
of Captain Carnes, who escorted us to
ibeir armory, where, after being warmly
weloomed to their hearts and homes, we
were invited to partake ot a bountiful
breakfast. Being thns fortified for. the
fatigues of the day the assembly was
sounded, and in a short time the battery
was ready tor parade. This parade was
to Maoon what the Jasper Centennial
parade was to Savannah—a bigsnooess.
In the oolomn we notioed nearly two
hundred of Savannah’s military.
Upon the nnveiling of the monument
a Confederate salute of eleven gnns was
fired by onr battory. After the splended
oration of OoL Thomas Hardeman, one
hundred guns were fired by the artil
lery.
. The monument is abont twenty feet
high, graced with the statue ot a Sonth-
era soldier nine feet high. It is bnilt of
Italian marble, and ia tastefully inscribed
and ornamented with specimens of war
and of
Time mitigates grief and adds lustre
to patriotic and heroic deeds. So while
onr grief for thoee fallen heroes grow
less each year, their deeds shall glow
brighter and brighter to the Perfect
Day.
Parade being dismissed, onr battery
was exereiaedin the field drill, when they
created considerable sensation while ma-
noauvering at the trot and gallop.
Among the Chathams we noticed “Can

If there be anything that could mar
onr pleasure of this visit to Maoon, it is
that onr beloved Captain and other mem
bers of the battery were not there to
share onr good fortunes.
The banquet given by the Macon Vol-
nnieera was perfeotiy immense. The
tables fairly groaned with good things
prepared by the ladies, and if Mr- Bel
shazzar ever tired of similar living, he
was a “comdemn phool.”
The trip np was made hideone by the
pranks of a tew “powder monkeys,” bat
returning, we enjoyed peace and quiet,
having left the “monkeyed behind in
Maoon.
With the pleasantest; recollections of
this reoent visit, we hope soon to have
another opportunity of meeting oar
brother soldiers of tbe np country in oar
own city.
Fuom tbe same paper we clip tbe fol
lowing item; the man desoribed, while
not a bankrupt, is evidently broken:
There is a remarkable man in Burke
county. He is a correspondent of tbe
WayneBboro Herald, and he says that in
1870 he had his right shoulder broken.
After that he had- hie left ehonlder brok
en. About three year* igo he received
a fall, and was nnable to walk-for three
months thereafter, and abont four weeks
ago he fell from a wagon, and the ve
hicle, loaded with two titans and pounds
of merchandise, passed*c^r his body,
breaking his shoulder and injuring him
internally. Yet, in aptba^ot. all these
misfortune*, he is to-day lively and -well.
Evidently no ordinary death >s in store
for him.
Griffin Nsisi: Gov. Colquitt, of Geor
gia* declares in a published letter that
“after diligent search” po trace can be
found of any reward evorjuflng been
offered by Georgia foiHhe head of Wo.
Lloyd Garrison. He firmly believes the
whole thing utterly an Unfounded alan
der. The historical faotT thus chal
lenged now “awaits confirmation”' Gov.
Colquitt’s statement may after all -be
only a perversion of the troth. An act

under the laws of the State against in
citing servile inBoxreotion was passed by
the Georgia Lagislatnre, it is onrrently

presumed that Gov. Colquitt intends to
deny the exiatenoe of soon an not which
would have applied as direotly to Garri
son aa one mentioning him by name.
The Homs Journali A married daughter
of Mr. S. L. i'nompaoD, Mrs. Bebeoca
Matthews, haa been for gome time labor-
iug under severe affliction of the mind, so
mnoh so, at times, that tbe family were
oompelled to keep her every aotion under
the closest surveillance to prevent her
from doing herself injury. This
morning, it so happened that this unfor
tunate lady was left for a few minutes
alone in the house; ber stepmother be
ing in the kitoben attending to her do-
mestio duties, and ber father and one of
her brothers in tbe borse-lot fixing a
trough. Attraoted by an unusual noise
towards the dwelling, Mrs. Thompson ran
to tbe door jait in time to see Mrs. Mat
thewe issuing from the back door of tbe
dwelling, with ber bands elasped
over ber knees, an • ber gar»
meats smoking as sho, in & stooping pos
ture, leaped out ot the door, and rapidly
ran in tbe direetion of the well situated
only a few yards distant. Mrs. Thomp
son divining her intention, sprang to
wards her, at the same time screaming to
the top of her voioe to stop, bnt ebe made
no halt and xeaebipg the well before Mrs.
Thompson oould reaoh her, she sprang
head foremost into Isb depths. Her fath
er and brother came to the well ae soon
ae they conld get there, expeoting noth
ing less than to find ber lying at the bot
tom dead, as the well is forty feet deep;
and there is a barrel at the bottom,
standing several inohes out of the water,
greatly increasing the dsuger ot the fall.
She was not dead, however, and as soon
as they oonld proonre a rape and assist
ance, she was placed seenrety in a basket,
and drawn out, and carried into the
house*
Several of tbe neighboring ladies bad
by this time gathered, -nd they put dry
clothes upon her immediately aid placed
her in bed. As far as they oonld tell no
bones were broken and wonderful to re'
late no severe external bruises.
Enquirer-Sum Hereafter when th#
Msconites want to tell of days and nights
long to be remembered, tbey will think
of tbe fair week of 1879, and say “those
were the grandest we had seen for many
years.” And truthfully they may tell it,
fori don’t see how any occasion could
have given them greater pleasure than
the assemblage in Maoon of so many ot
Georgia’s fair daughters and gallant sons
—soldiers of the past and soldiers of tbe
present marched side by side, cheered on
as of old by the smiles and encourage
ment of the noble ladies there, whose
efforts unveiled one of the handsomest
monuments in Georgia—“To onr Con-

as Mr. Chailie Skriao and Miss Mollie

afternoon their horse took fright near
Martin’s oorner, and ran away, throwing
Mr. Skrine out of the buggy near Mr.

her helpless oondition, jumped from the

On what I saw as to tbe general exhibit, buc

of advertising, and I think from tbe excite

It w-a gjtten np by Major BUsknall, the
agent for Blackwell’s Durham Bull Tobaooo,
and it con.i,tod of a large woise Durham
bull, beautifully ornamented with a wreath
of flos-ero, and tong streamers of red, white
and blue ribbons flowing from hla hsad and
neck, and bis tail fixed up p. ofmely in flue
ribbons, and on eaoh eide In large, readable
leite.a wore printed the words, ‘ Smoke
Blackwell’s Durham Tobaooo,” and he was
led ail through tne grounds and park aBd
through ad the streets of the eity, followed
by a large band wagon with a band of mtuio,
drawn by four fl :e horses, bedecked with
flog streamers, etc., and on the side of the
w*gon th# words, “Smoke Blackwell’s Dur

on the top of the band wagon with canvass
hanging on each a.de with the words:

And in rear of boll, bind, eto., was a flue
carriage, drawn by two elegant grays, with
Major fiiaotnali and Mr. Graoe, tho Tobac-
oonist, and in the carriage I saw a large pile
of advertising matter, which was being
handed out oy Major B'.acknall and Mr.

side, and they running through- the crowded
streets distributing them to every man, wo-
man %nd child.
When tha grand rounds through the eity
was completed the bait procession marched
again through the park, threading their way
througn the immense crowd to the grand
stand, when Major Blaoknali was fortunate
enough to get the exhibit of his grand dis<.

Judge Mieed te the Jury.
Gentlemen of ths Jury: Yon are eworn
to well and truly try tnis oase and a true
verdiot give acoording to ths law ae given
yon in charge, and the opinion yon enters
tain of the evidence.
Tbe inonmbant of the Bsnoh, too, is
also Bating under oath to deal out impar
tial justice between the high and the
low, the rioh and poor, the hnmble and
the exalted alike. Eecn without an oath,
that innate aenee of justice which nature
implants in the bosom of mao, wonld
cause any man who is worthy to occupy
a seat upon the Bench, to impartially ad
minister the law, as the incumbent of
the Bench may understand it. Hence I
feel it Incumbent upon me to repil and
reprobate any insinnatioir that any of the
Coarts of this State oonld be led in the
remotest degree from the path of duty
by passion or any other' consideration.
This is not a criminal'case, but jmre
ly a eivil suit,, to recover a pack
age of $25,000 -whick tha plaintiff
alleges that the defendant, Lynch,
converted . to his own use, while
engaged by it aa express messenger,
In criminal cases, tha jury mast be
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt, as' to
guilt. Bnt in civil oases of this charac
ter, the preponderance of testimony is.
sufficient to produce mental bonviosion;
and that preponderance is for the jury to
determine, not from the mere number ot
witnesses on the respective sides, bnt
from interest, opportunity and general
deportment, and manner of testifying,
and all other oirenmstanoes effecting
credit.
Yon should not lay stress upon doubts
whioh may exist of tha proof of a partic
ular faot; bat it is'enough that thej 'evi
dence preponderates to satisfy you of
tha exiatenoe and truth of snoh fact. The
truth and theirufk alone is the objeot.'of
your investigation. Yon have nothing
to do with what the public says abont y onr
verdiot, and if that should enter for one
moment into yonr consideration yon are
not upright and’ intelligent men, whioh
the law presumes yon to be, and yon are
not fit to occupy yonr positions as jarors
la this oase.
Neither are yon responsible for the oon-
sequences of yonr verdict. The law alone
is responsible; bnt yon are responsible to
yonr consciences and yonr God for the
sincerity and truth of that verdict. Tha
simple question for you to determine in
this caBe is, was there a conversion?
For, strip it of all extraneous matter, take
away all the cause which the ingenuity
and elcquenoe of counsel have shown
it, and at last it comes back to this ques
tion « “Did the defendant, Lynob, convert
to his own use the package of $25,0C0, as
desoribed in plaintiff’s petition of trover?
If he dtd make the conversion; if he ap
propriated it to his own nae, at any time
font years previous to the institution of
this suit, the plaintiff is entitled to re
cover. If yon are satisfied from the ev-
idenoe that the package as described Was
delivered to tbe defendant, and that he
failed to deliver it to his connecting mes-*
senger for Athene, Gsorgia, at $.ugosta,
Georgia, then the next question for yon to
determine is, did the Express Company,
through its agent, make a demand upon
defendant thoretor, and was there are-
tnsal or failure to comply with suoh de
mand? If you ana wet these'qnestfdns in
the affirmative, i that he reoeived the
package of $25,000, that he - failed to
deliver it to the connecting messenger at
Angusta, and that there was a demand
and a failnre upon his part to comply
with tbe demand; then there arises a
presumption rf the law that he converted
the property to hie ownluse, and theburdtn
of proof is upon him, the defendant, Lynch,
to show satisfactorily to your minds
that he did not so convert' 'it.
Has tho defendant reasonably and sat
isfactorily nooonnted for the alleged lose?
If he has, yonr verdict should be for de
fendant. Bnt if he has not—if you have
not reached a mental oonvictioh, as honest
acd well meaning men, that he has ac
counted satisfactorily for the loss of tho
package, or in other words, if you are not
satisfied that he did not convert it to bis
own nae, then it is your duty, under
your oaths, to render a verdiot for th e
plaintiff for the highest proven value of
the property aued for, to be discharged
by a delivery of the property itself.
Tbe verdiot claimed by the plaintiffs
was for the sum of $25,000, to be satis
fied by the retnrn of the property; wh-6
is called an alternate verdict. The ver
dict of the jury was as thus asked for by
the plaintiffs. What its effeot wi 1 be
we presume will be determined by the
Court and counsel.
The following is the verdiot in full:
“We, the jury, find for the plaintiffs in
the sum of $25,000, the said sum to he
paid to the plaintiff* by the defendant to
be discharged by the surrender of the
property sued for within twenty days
from date.

THE HAOZB.
Another- fin* day and fine traok
favored the stock men yester
day, and the sports of the turf were very
mnch enjoyed. The racing was witness
ed by a large crowd on the grand stand.
Several times ths enthusiasm over:some
dbpUy of speed or closely contested heat
found vent in oh ears and applansew
Toe first was a trotting raoe for parse
10, $200, mile heats, beat three in fire,
first horse, $125; second, $50; third r $25.
There were three entries and starters
—Ned M, Trouble and F. B. Trouble
took the pole, F. B. next and Ned M,
on tbe ontaide. The horses got off well.
Ned M. and Trouble contending for the
track; at the quarter, Ned led. On the
back stretch, tho Horses were spaced along
the track with F. B. closing on Trouble
and finally passing him, On tbe home
stretob,Ned closed the gap between him
and the other two, and oame in under a
pull two and a halt lengths ahead, F. B.
seoond and Trouble third. Time 2:40.
In the second heat, Ned M. led
by* length at tne qoarur pole, F. B.
second and Tronble behind, on aocounr
of a break. The positions were nnohanged
to the upper turn, when F.‘ B. lappbd
with Ned M. who,hoWeVer, recovered and
came in easily by a length, F. B. seoond
and Trouble third. Time, 2:42.
Tbe third heat was a slow one. The
trotting was good to the quarter pole,
when Ned went away and led by a full
length, increasing his advantage to two
lengths on the upper turn. On the home
stretch he still held the lead and took the
heat and raoe easily. Time, 2:52.
The second race, a running face, for
three-year-olds and under, mile heats,
best two iu three, pars* $200—$150 to
first and $50 to seoond horse, was one of
the moat interesting of the entire fair.
There wer* three starters, Buckshot,
See lam and Meohlenberg. They came
to the pole in the order named. A good
send off was had, Seelam going to the
front and leading off several lengths. At
the half mile tarn the horses were bunch
ed, Seelam having lost his lead, but re
covered and again went away one length
on tbe npper tarn, the other horses un
der blanket oover. At the three quarter
pole, however, Bnokshot and Meohlen
berg both passed Seelam. Both came
down the home stretch neck and neck.
Buckshot taking tbe heat by a nose, amid
mnch enthusiasm, Meohlenberg 2ad,
Seelam 3rd under heavy whip and spur
foor lengths hehind.' Time 1:55
In the seoond heat Meohlenberg lead
by two lengths, and then foor to tbe
back etreteh, when Bnckehot closed the
gap to one length, Seelam four lengths
in the rear. At the half mile pole the
relative positions were nnohanged, Mech-
lenberg increasing tbe gap to the three-
quaiteis pole. On the home stretoh
both horses did some fine work, Book-
shot under whip and spar. At the dis-
tanoe pole Macklenberg bolted, whioh
gave some advantage to the other hones.
To twenty yards of the string they ran
neck and neck, Machlenberg winning the
heat by a nose. Seelam distanced. Time
1:50*.
The result of this heat created great
dissatisfaction, and there was a decided
demand on the part of the backers of
Buekabot that his rider be ohanged, they
claiming that he was held in. The judges
placed a new rider on the horse. In this
heat Seelam knocked a darkey down who
had gotten on the track.
The third heat was between Bnokshot
and Meohlanbnrg. At the very outset,
the hones were under blanket oover and
moved around the traok in this posi
tion to the three-quarter pole,giving one
of the prettiest exhibitions of well
matched speed ever seen on the grounds,
On the lower atretoh, Meohknburg, who
was bolding tbe pole, bolted to the out
side, losing valuable time. Buekshot
took the beat and raoe easily by three
lengths, Meohlanbnrg coming in seoond
under whip rad spur. Tim*, 1:48*.
The third, a trotting raoe, for Georgia
owned horses, mile heats, beet three in
five; parse $209; $125 to the first horse;
$60 to the seoond, rad $25 to the third
horse. Allle Wilkes, John Kemble
Jackson and John M. started. Allie
Wilkes led to the npper torn when John
M. lapped and at the three-quarter pole
they were under blanket oover, John
M. steadily gaining on her and taking
tha heat by one and a half lengths, AUie
seoond and Jackson third. Time 2:40,
Ths seoond heat waa ezoiting. AUie
had things her own way to the upper torn
when John M. closed np and both hones
oame down tbe home stretoh together.
AUie broke a short distance from the
finish and oame in ahead by a bare nose.
Time, 2:32*.
On aeoonnt of Allie Wilkes running,
it waa declared a dead heat. Allie now
became the favorite and took the next
two heats easily in 2:40* and 2:42, John
M. seoond and Kemble Jackson third in
each heat. Tbe fifth and last heat waa
also taken by Allie Wilkes, John M,
seoond and Kemble Jackson a bad third.

Dear Bibs: I had the dyspepsia about tluw
yean ago; it had run on me for two or tame
years, and I tried all of our docton and ererr
kind of medicine I oould think ef, andnothiei
did me auy good at all. I happened to get eee
ot Simmons’ ahnansca, and saw the Regulator
highly recommended for Dyspepsia. I wu is>
ducea to try it and after taking tbe medians
about six weeks it made* perfect cure, I hire
reoommended it to a great many parsons, ana it
has given general satisfaction.

3,791,881 bushel*; oats, 2,010, 885 bushels;
barley, a,886,712 bushels, rye, 675,018 bashr

—The Obmeae continue to poor into tbs
Hawaian Ieiaiqja in snoh numbers tbat ths
question ot now to stop-them ia growing to
be of serious importance. They constitute
already overs fifth of the entire population,
and are aunest all males, a hey are uteful
en the sugar plantations, bat they
do not assimilate with tha native
population, whose extinction they
they threaten at an early day, and whoa
they will hardly replace satiefoutoriij a* loyal
subjects and citizens. The government is
trying 10 get the needed labor supphss from
the Bsuth Rea Islands, but the owners of
the Hawaian sugar estates, who care only for
their own business interests, are perfectly
willing to take the cheaper Chinese. Over
2,000 Utunamen arrived at Honolulu in tho
second half of last year, which, considering
tbe scanty population of the islands, is pret
ty heavy immigration.
jfcB&men OaciTAL Coning Tho New York
gansayc: ‘In tne course of the next five
yeata a vast Amount of British capital will
find its way to this country, where branches
of English business houses will bs establish
ed, wilds' m many esses tbe main business
will be transferred here. We may see this
to day in New loik, where shops are con
stantly being oatabliehed by Englishmen.
The great dry goods houses are largely re
presented oy them. The English oapitaliat,
feeling an absolute security in our public
finances, will more and more pour those
hoares which he ia at his wits’ ena to know
how to invest into associations oon rooted by
his own oounteymen here, and tbe benefit
will acorns to both oonntriea. The present
