SUNDAY MOUSING, JULY 27, 1873
THE OEOBGIA. PRESS.
Tnx Colombo* Snn, of Friday, has the follow
lng:
A gentleman wbo bu visited river plantation*
twenty-five miles below Columbus, bricks Lock
very bad reports concerning the cotton crop.
Season vary disastrous.
Thx many friends of Rev. Dr. 3. H. Do
Votle may tw gratified in knowing that te wee
so far recovered from bis late severe ill nr-** as to
be able to leave Grlfflu yesterday for Gaines
ville, on tbe Atlanta Air Line Road, where be
proposes to apend tbe summer.
Tut Athens Watchman bits discovered A new
enemy to cotton. It aayi:
A gentleman from Franklin informed os a
few days ago that a new enemy to ootton baa
made its appearance in that ooonly. He say*
it ia an Insect which bores into the forma, and
that they fail off a few days after being punc
tured. lie says it is doing modi damage, and
that none of the citizens bsve seen anything
like it before.
Tbe Cartenville Standard of the 2l'.h fur
nishes tho following brace of items:
Tbs wheat crop in this section bss been un-
Density email this season ; bnt little has been
brought lo market, and that little is of tn infe
rior quality. It seems that onr farmers bare
abont concluded to abandon tbe cultivation
that important grain entirely, and are tnrnli
their attention exclusively to tbo raising of cot
too.
Some years ago a young man from tbe mral
diet riots called at a store in Gainesville, tit
and made a bargain wilh a merchant for a hat,
with tbe nndtrstandieg that be would pay for
it in fur. lie look the bat and left. Some
months after be wrote to tbe merchant that
was In Arkamate, and aakad him if that was
"fur" enongb? “If not,” said ha, “let me
know, and 1 wiil try to get furiui'. '
Tbe Oolombna Enquirer hopes tbe rumored
doe! between a merchant and a doctor will not
take plaoe.
The Griffin Star says:
A compromise bss been tendered tbe O. K.
It. Co. in tbe metier of Isaac Reid's death
tbe train • few days ago, which is refused,
salt will st onee be insUtnied by bis family for
damages in tbe smn of 910,000.
Tbe Galnesvilllans get their chickens at
oenta E bead.
’i HZ iuI j lined items are from the Gainesville
Ragle ;
Corn was effored on the streets, Wednesday
last, at sixty cents a bushel. Wo learn that
there is yet an abundance of corn in tbe bands
of onr farmers.
Mb. C. U. C. U lack stock has left-at onr
office quito s freak of nature, in the shape of
oloater of pine borrs. They are forty-eight
number, and are attached to a single branch.
Atlaxta wants a grain elevator. We bad
tboaght grain was in tbs bsblt of getting "high”
enough without tbe old of sny “modern appli
anoea.”
Tbe Quitman Banner bsa this:
A man in Mitchell county bsa msde corn this
year, which be says was bsrd soon enough to
be planted again, and make another crop, and
tbe Camilla paper asks wbo ean beat that We
know a man In Brooks, who says be has made
at one orop, enongb oorn to last him two years.
One orop Ibst lasts two years, we elsim, beats
two crops in one jear, by upwards of considera
ble.
Watzrmaw, of tho LaGrange Reporter, is in
a stale of uneasiness bordering on trepidation
Be esys:
Borne ilme ago, wo nolod the fact tbit conn
terfslt ten dollar gold pieces wero In circula
tion ; bnt this canned ns no alarm. Now, how.
ever, It Is stated that pewter fire cent pieoes
are passed aronml, and we tremble, for we may
eet hold of ono before tbe year is gone. Alas,
if saeh should be tbe ease!
Tnx Albany Nows of Friday has tbe following
with referenoe to tbe crops:
Tbe drought which prevailed in this locality
for fiTe weeks, doing mnch damage to tbe crop,
was terminsted lost Saturday at 1 r. u., by a
general rain, and nines then hoaT; showers have
been frequent and wide-spread. We donbt if
there ta a npot In Southwestern Georgia that Is
not flow n mtlo loo wst for tbo good of tbo
crops. This timely rain rescued much oorn that
waa npon tbe point of min, and will increase
tbe weight of that that was too far advanced
for serious Injury from tbo dry spell. Abont
20 per oent. of tbo orop was, by bad onlinre,
or no cnltnre at all, and the burning drongbt,
totally destroyed. Fifty per cent, is ns Hue i
crop ns ever grew In this region, and tbe re
maining 30 per oent. will average above half
orop. Cotton is In terrible peril, and plantors
are more gloomy Ilian wo ever saw them. Tbe
rain of Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
aoltoDcd tbe leaf, emboldened the caterpillar
and developed tbo very worst apprehensions ns
to his presence and strength. He is universal,
and has opened brisk operations all along tbo
aklrmiab line. Every fluid in this county, nnd
we donbt not In Southwestern Georgia below
Sumter and Ktowart, Is infested, and the second
hutching Is vigorous, nnmerons nnd voracious.
Snob planters ss Itoyt, Lockett, Smith, Wsrron,
Wilson, Alagbee, McLarin, Davis, Jordans,
Managers, Evans. Mayo, Camp, Walker A Cor.
ley, Dozier, Wallers, Wbllobead, Willingham,
and a boat of others of rqnal dignity and relia
bility, pronounce the opinion that tbe prospect
for oomplele disaster is witbont parallel at this
early stage of thegamo. Many fields will be strip
ped before Sunday night, and it Is believed tbo
work of destruction will bsve bcon fnlly and
fearfully achieved within a fortnight. Many are
experimenting with Roysll's and Whisenant**
preparations, and bigb hopes are entertained
that they will materially check tbo worm, if not
suooeasfnl in destroying him. Col. Lockett will
have aided about one (Lonsand dollars' worth of
Royal!'* by to-morrow night, and will nsa abont
five baadrnl of Whlsenr.nt’*. CapL Boyt bss
used Royall's on one hundred acres, and others
are sending in ordors faster than tbo Messrs.
Welch osn fill them. Tbo effloacy of these poi
sons will have been folly tested by to-morrow
night, and we shall then be able lo report crop
or no orop. If these experiments fail, the crop
Is gone, and rain is the doom of Southwestern
Georgia.
Rates.—Jesse Wallers reports tbo poison a
oomplele sucooss, and Cap!. Boyt says results
are satisfactory. He is bsppy.
Still Latkb.—At snndown yesterday evening
Oot. Lockett passed our window, and expressed
hla belief that tbe poison is a successful remedy.
Ills face was boaming with gladness, and as be
left sold: “Yes, I believe tbe preparation will
kill them; and that we can save tbe crop. -
Tbe Rome Oommcraial, of Friday, publishes
an aooount of a homicide wblob was committed
at Kingaton on Wednesday. It seems that some
lima ainoe CapL llofas' stables were burned,
and oaveral negroes were arrested on tbe charge
of lnoendiarism. One of tbe negroes turned
Blate's evidence. Tbe whole parly were in jail
at Cartersville. Un Tuesday night the Slate's
evidence negro broke jail, returned to Kingston
and attem pted to rob a hotel. He was parsned,
captured, and eonfined In tbe cahboose until
next morning, when be was to bo taken to Car-
tersvilie. Jnst before tbe arrival of tbe train
which was to tike the bailiff, John Nevclis,
and his prisoner to Cartersville, Nevells went to
tbe oalibooee for tbe negro, and while going to
the depot they pasted M. T. Hill, wbo was
standing within twenty or thirty feet of the
train which bad jnst arrived. Tbe negro msde
some insulting remark and Mr. Hill replied that
be, the negro, ongbt to be bnng. At this tbe
negro oomwenoed carsing and -basing Hill i
a mast outrageous manner. Hill made some
reply and moved as If to strike or kick tbe
negrr. Nevells ordered Hilt to go away. This
order not being obeyed as promptly ns Nevells
tboaght it ought, be repeated it, at tbe same
time drew bis plsto! and fired, tbe ball striking
Hill in tbe left breast, about one inch below ibe
heart, ranging downward and lodging in Ihe
bowels. Nevells attempted to fire a seoond
shot, bnt was prevented by (he t-yj.tsn.iers.
Nevells was arrested by the marshal and com
mitted to tbe call boose. Daring tbs night be
made bis escape with asiistance from the out-
aids.
Mr. Hill died Thursday evening. He bss
been section mi-ter oa tie Rome Railroad for
about eighteen years, and is a reliable, indns
trions and peaceable man; he is abom forty-
fire year* old, is married, and has five or six
■mall children. Ilis sodden deith will leave hi-
family entirely unprovided for. Mr. Nevells ir
aleo a married man, and bore a good reputation
as a quiet and peaoeable man. The shooting
of Mr. Hill is denonnoed by oil who witnessed
it and are cognisant of tbe tacts m brutal and
unnecessary murder.
Tax Atlanta Herald of yesterday has ibe fol
lowing aoeonnt of “ a pretty rongb case ” lately
developed in ihst city:
There is much excitement in business circlta
in Atlanta in conaeqnecoe of tbe sudden de

tracting, and, (we are tempted to sny) demoral
izing scenes of tho court-room, ha had fonnd
time to read a volnminous biography of ihn
pious fonndnr of his chr.rcb, and bad at length
progressed to tb3 eirty fifth yearef bis age.
At that advanced period he was preaching
from three to four timet (eery day, frequently
riding fifty miles on Irnrso hack lo fill his ap
pointment. On the tf mperanee qncstion too,
ho was 100 years ahead of the age. It wss be
that ordained that there sbonld be no dram
drinking Motbodists, and even probihiledcbnrcb
members from selling apiritnons liqnors. Bnt
that old worthy bad be lived to tbe present day,
wonld have seen that absolute proscription in
mnttors of conscience, is not tbe moat effectual
method of checking ihe evil scnglrt to be abated.
The old Adam in human nature, risesup against
such manditea, and tbo result is a reaction in
the wrong direction.
Temperance is indeed next to godliness, nnd
inaeparable from it; but it can alone be pro-
moled by precept and example, conjoined
with faithful preaching against drunkenness
and excess of every kind. Any nbsolnte denial
of tbe cso of God’s ereatnrfs ia tho absence of
s direct revelation to that effect, looks like con
travening Hia la'ws, and an infringement of per
sonal liberty, whioh experience bas shown will
not be submitted to.
Hence, tho fact that the present rn'.e of the
Methodist Chnrch on this subject is so nearly a
dead letter in practice. Happy wonld it be.

This is to certify I applied the Whisenant Cotton

days ainoe, which had quite a number of caterpil
lars upon it, and that it killed all the caterpillars
that wero upoa the cotton without injury to the

Locust Grove, Ga , October 80,1872.
We. the nndersigDed planters, have witnessed
tbs operation of one of your EclipBS Cotton Gins,

Mr. Daniel F. Ferguson, of Jonesboro, Ga.,
writes under date of October 10,1872, as follows:
I have your gin running. * * * I can say it
is the best that I ever saw run. It cleans tbe seed
lerfectly. I have been raised in a gin bouse, and
: believe I know all about what should be expected
in a first-class Ootton Gin. I can gin five hundred
ponnds of lint inside of sixtr minutes. Tbe first
two bales ginned weighed 1100 pounds, from 8010
pounds seed cotton, bagging and ties included.
Irwietok, Ga , October 7,1872,
Mr. P. O. Sawyer—Dear Sir: Tbe Ootton Gin
we got from you, we are pleased to say, meets onr
fullest expectations, and does all you promised it
should do. We have ginned one hundred and six
teen bales on it, and it hat never choked nor bro
ken the roll. It picks the seed clean and makes
good lint. We have bad considerable experience
with various kinds of ootton gins, and can, with
safety, say yours is the best we have ever seen run.

that be is now running a D. Pratt Gin In Lee comi

aas, and a “Sawyer Eclipse Gin” in Rome, Ga.. and
regards tbe last named as superior to any of tbe

other gin with which be is acquainted. He says be
has ginned eighty-six bales with it without break
ing the roll.

Mr. P. O. Sawyer, M*cod, Ga—Dear Sir—Tho

very great pleasure in recommending your gins to
tbe public.

Dr. J. W. Summers, of Orangeburg, S. C., writes
All your Gins sold by me this seaeon are doing well
and giving entire ealiafaction. I will be able to sell

J. G. Staley, of Fort Valley, writes, “Yonr Gin Is
the only Gin I ever saw that anybody could feed
I have heretofore been compelled to emp’oy a
feeder for ginning, but with your gin a child can
feed it and it wUl never break tbe roU. It gins both
clean and fast and mokes beautiful lint."
Messrs. Chfids, Nickerson & Go., of Athens,
Ga.. write: “All the Sawyer Gine sold by ns are
