Important Improvement.
The Brooks County Manufacturing As
sociation have secured the services of a
northeru manufacturer, who has a life
time experience in the weaving of wool
en goods, and is thoroughly versed in all
the latest improvements used in manip
ulating cotton aud wool. The company
now propose to add more machinery to
their woolen department, and they will
then he prepared to compete with any
factory in the South. We are glad to
Bee such a progressive spirit on the part
of this important local enterprise, aud
hope that the results will be such that it
will induce others to do likewise. *
The man who had the Okefenokfee
bear on exhibition at the Thomasville
Fair drove into Quitman on Tuesday
morning, and announced that there
would be a fight between his bear and
two dogs in a certain portiou of town,
at 2 o’clock, which could bo witnessed
for the small sum of twenty-five cents.
He had five hundred tickets printed at
the Repobteu office , aud was getting
ready to spread his tent, when some ouo
suggested that it might be well enough
for him to call on the Mayor before pro
ceeding further. Upou enquiry he found
that the town and county tax for his ex
hibition would cost him just fifty dollars,
and that he would be subject to arrest
for disturbing the peace and dignity of
the town besides, when he quietly pull
ed up his stakes and left.

Incendiarism.
On Monday night of last week the
torch of the incendiary was applied to
the cotton house of Mr. Timothy Alder
man, completely destroying that build
ing and the corn crib, fodder and oat
house, stock shed and wagon shelter,
which were all arranged in a row togeth
er. The cotton house contained about j
seven bales aud a half of seed cotton, the
corn crib four hundred bushels of corn,
and the fodder aud oat house was well
filled with these two very important com
modities. The flames spread rapidly,
and when discovered the buildings were
all ablaze, so that the heat was so intense
it was with difficulty that any ouo could
get near enough to open a place in the
lot for the stock to escape. Nothing
that was in any of the buildings was stay
ed, though about a hale and a half Of
cotton was found to ho uninjured in tljp
smouldering heap where the cotton lumse
stood. Mr. Alderman is a disabled ti
dier, having lost a leg in the late war;
and this is to him a heavy and serious
loss. The fieudish villain who applied
the torch was tracked some distance
from the premises, hut, as yet, no clue
has been found that is likely to lead to
his apprehension.

been confined to his bed for the past

ested will do well to govern themselves
accordingly.
—We will have anew Post Master for
the next two weeks. Mr. Walter Allen,
from A’aldosta, has come to take charge
of the office during the absence of Mr.
Griffiu, who expects to attend the TJ. S.
Court to bo held iu Savannah next
week. *

room iu front of the delivery apart
ment. *
—Jim Simmons was the only man on
the list of jurors drawn for the present
term of the Superior Court who succeed
ed iu getting excused without pleading
"sickuess in the family." Jim put on a

—Judge G. J. AVriglit, of the Albany

—The picker machine in the Quitman

great benefit to our corn raisers. *
—There was considerable excitement
iu town last Friday afternoon by the
alarm of fire, coming from the residence
of Dr. E. A. Jelks. The firemen aud
citizens generally promptly responded to
the alarm, but the fire, which was found
to bo iu a closet in the house, was arrest
ed beforo the crowd gathered. Tho build
ing was not injured, but a good deal of
the wearing apparel of Mrs. Jelks and
children was destroyed. The origin of
the fire is a mystery.
—Ono of our Brooks county Grangers
tolls us that lie has sold ono thousand
bushels of corn this full, for which he has
realized one dollar per bushel; aud ho
still has about one hundred more to
spare. In addition to the above he has
made about four bales of cotton, aud
raised Hogs, Potatoes, pinders, oats and
cane in abundance. This is the product
of a two horse farm, without any hired
labor, his two younger brothers being
his only assistance. He is a healthy,
good-looking young man, about twenty
four years of age, aud a candidate for
matrimony. We think it a rare oppor :
tuuity for some granger’s pretty daugh
ter, and would like to give our readers
his name, but as he is rather inclined to
be bashful, we will withhold it for the
present.
Personal.— We were pleased to meet
iu our sanctum yesterday Mr. W. H.
Roberts, tho courteous and efficient trav
eling agent of that old and popular Geor
gia weekly, tho Milledgoville Lnion and
Recorder. He visited Quitman in the in
terest of his paper, and we were glad to
learn that he added several names to his
list of subscribers iu our town and county.
SUPERIOR COURT.
The (luscs of Nie Thompson ami Ben
Jordan.
Other Criminals.
A. Vi nit to tho .Tail.
Since tho commencement of tho pres
ent session of tho Superior Court, the
question “Wonder what they are going
to do with Nio Thompson ?” has doubt
less been asked of all the “kuowiug
ones” in town, hut, ns yet, we have not
heard of a single enquirer who has re
ceived a “kuowiug” or satisfactory an
swer.
Thero are so many crooks and turns
and technicalities of which criminals and
skillful lawyers can take ndvantago iu
our laws these days, that it is almost im
possible for people iu ordinary stations
in life to form anything like a coriect
opinion of which ouo of tho "crooks” or
“turns” will be taken when cases of this
sort come to trial. A man may commit
tho most heinous crime laid down iu all
the criminal statute books of the coun
try, hut when we jgo to surmise what
kind of punishment will be meted out to
him, or when it will be most likely to be
administered, we must take into consid
eration how much money he can com
mand, and compare the lawyers that are
to meet each other representing the two
different sides of the question when the
case' is laid before the tribunal by which
the crime is to bo adjudicated.
NIC THOMPSON,
with whose case onr renders are all fo
uiillinr, has been charged and convicted
of tho crime of murder, but the “crooks
and turns” have not all been taken yet,
and although there has been throe ses
sions of our Superior Court aud two sit
tings of the Supreme Court of the State
since the commission of the crime, the
murderer is still unpunished, and is held
at a heavy expense to the county.
AVhen or whether his sentence ever will
be executed or not God only knows, for
the “knowing ones” in onr Judicial aud
legal circles say they don’t. His case
has been before the Supreme Court, aud
the judgement of the lower court was
affirmed, hut we learn from the prison
er’s council that
ANOTHER MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL
will be made this week upon the grounds
of newly discovered evidence. AVe have
no idea that the defendant or his coun
sel have any hopes that the motion will
he granted, but it will he made for the
purpose of taking exceptions to tho rul
ing of the lower court and procrastinat
ing the execution of the sentence of the
law, by carrying the case np to the Su
preme Court again. The present indi
cations are that this will be the next
“crook and turn” taken, aud Nic Thomp
son will doubtless remain a guest of the
county for at least a year to come.
Ren Jordan,
the negro who is charged with striking
Capt. Hunter with a stiok at the time he
was killed by Nic Thompson, will be
tried this week. He will be defended
by Col. James Atkins, of Savannah, nnd
AV. C. AlcCall, Esqr., of Quitman (who
are also the attorneys of Nic Thompson)
and it is expected that the case will he
called to-day. The State will ho ably
represented by Col. R. G. Mitchell, the
Solicitor, Capt. H. G. Turner, Judge ,T.
It. Alexander and others, and the trial
will doubtless be a long and tedious one.
OTHEII CRIMINALS.
The list of criminals to be tried at this
' term of the court is longer than usual,
I tho number now in jail (including Nio
Thompson and Ren Jordan) being seven
—all negroes. Tony Williams will be sent
np for stealing-’ cotton; Hard Ileaty for
beastiality; Richmond Alberta for hog
stealing; aud Jssee Bryant and Wesley
Williams for burglary iu the night time.
We made
A VISIT TO THE JAIL
yesterday morning, and found the pris
oners all in apparent good spirits, and,
with the exception of Ben Jordan, very
communicative and willing to answer our
questions. He was rather reticent, and
when we asked him if he was anxious to
be tried and know his fate, be answered,
“I don’t know; don’t know whether I
ought to talk about it or not, nor what
to say.” He and tho other prisoners,
with the exception of Nic Thompson,
who was in the dungeon, occupied the
two front rooms on the North side of the
jail. The door between tbo two rooms,
and the one to Nie’s cell were both open,
and the prisoners had free access to euch
other’s quarters and plenty of room to
walk about. Tho walls of the jail were
nicely white-washed, and tho neat and
cleanly appearance of the whole building
inside speaks well for our worthy jail
or.

Foster ltlodgett.
Tile Report of His Intended Return to
Georgia a Canard.
Wiiat He Says of Certain Matters
and Things.
(From tho Atlanta Constitution.)
Sometime sinco it was published in
a “leading journal of tho South At
| hmtio Slates,” that the dolectnblo in
dividual whose name heads this arti
cle was soon to return to this State
and to Atlanta. Sinco that an
nouncement the curious have kept
ouo eye upon an occasional reconnoi
sance for tho advent of the viliant
I lieutenant of Bullock and twin Dro
mio of “the great developer.” The
result proves that Blodgett is wiser
than some parties gave him tho cred
it of being, and he displays no over
weaning desire to thrust his devoted
head into the yawning jaws of out
raged public opinion. He still keeps
himself out of reach of Georgia offi
cials and can tell the exact number of
inches between his heels and the
Georgia State lino at any hour of the
day.
A gentleman from South Carolina
reports having
MET WITH BLODGETT
in Columbia, South Carolina, and
having a passing conversation with
him. We cannot of course, essay to
give tho exact words of the conversa
tion, therefore, we generalize.
Our informant remarked to Blodg
ett that his return to this State was
rumored. To which Blodgett replied
that such a statement was gratuitous,
as he had uo intention of returning
to Georgia until the hate and dispo
sition to persecute him by the people
had so far subsided as to make liis re
turn absolutely safe. He said he had
been made the scape-goat for a num
ber of other people’s sins—people
who were able to help and befriend
him, but who were afraid to have him
back in Georgia with bis mouth so far
unsettled as to make it possible for
him to tell some things he knew with
out criminating liiiuself. Ho said
that he entertained
NO DESIRE TO RETURN
while the present regime obtained in
Georgia, as persecution of him by en
forcing the indictments against him
would be at once commenced. He
said he did not fear tlie charges made
against him or his ability to prove
them groundless, but he despaired of
finding a jury in Georgia wholly able
to do him justice iu any trial of them.
He went on to abuse a number of
prominent men iu Georgia, and to
claim that their object in pursuing
him was not to bring him to justice,
but rather to keep him out of the way.
AVhen asked upon what grounds he
proposed to come back, if at all, he
said that he would only return when
the indictments against him were not
pressed and be had the fullest assur
auc of legal protection. Then, he
said, he would be willing to
TELL ANYTHING HE KNEW
undera promise that nothing he said
should be used ever as against him.
He claims to be getting along all
right, and to have such a host of able
and influential friends in South Caro
lina, as to deter the governor from
giving him up to the people of Geor
gia.
Indeed, Foster is said to have spo
ken eloquently, and to have said that
he loved all the people of America.
But, enough! Certain it is that our
eyes shall not soon he set upou Fos
ter's manly form. Alas!
Chili Mclntosh.
(Greenville Vindicator.)
The death of Chili Mclntosh, an
Indian chieftaiu, is announced. His
father, Geneaal William Mclntosh,
was a lialf-breed, and born at Coweta,
an Indian village, from which the
county of Coweta takes its name.
General Mclntosh made a treaty with
the whites at Indian Springs, Butts
county, on the 12th of February 1825,
by which the lands between the Ock
inulgee and Chattahoochee rivers
was ceded to Georgia. From this
territory Troup and afterwards Mer
riwether county was formed. A por
tion of the chiefs being displeased
with the treaty Mclntosh had made
with the Georgians, determined to
make him answer for his treachery
with the forfeiture of his life. A par
ty of 170 warriors commanded by a
chief who had fought against General
Jackson, surrounded the house of
Mclntosh, which was situated upon
one of his reservations on the banks
of the Cnattahoochee iu Coweta
county. Hearing tho approach of the
Indians Chili Mclntosh sprang from
his bed, jumped out of a window and,
as he ran off was fired at by tho whole
party. Reaching the river he dived
and swam across, and thus escaped.
His fathor and brother-in-law, Haw
kins, were slain.
Chili Mclntosh removed to the
Indian Territory with his tribe, with
whom be afterwards possessed great
influence, became a Baptist minister,
effected much good for his people and
died recently at a good old age. He
was a cousin of Gov. George Mclntosh
Troup, who came near having a con
fiict’ with the United States govern
ment on account of tho treaty for
which General Mclntosh sacrificed liis
life.

Daniel Webster’s Friend.
Detroit Free Press. ]
Ho wasn’t such an old man, lmt bis
face was very sad, his hair was long
and he was bent over. He entered a
store on Jefferson avenue Saturday,
and after warming his bands at the
stovo he inquired of tho proprietors ;
“'Will you give me a little advice?”
“I gtioss so ; what is it ?” was the
cheerful reply.
Tho stranger backed up to the
stove, wiped liis nose on his hand,
and after a momeut continued :
“If you wauted to die would you
jump into tho river or take pi
zen V”
“Well, I don’t know about that. I
guess I’d rather live on than do ei
ther one. Why, do you feel like dy
ing ?”
“I do, mister !” said the man in a
deep-toned voice. “Yes, I’ve stayed
around long enough.”
“What’s the matter—why do you
want to die?” questioned tho mer
chant.
“What’s thero to live for?” de
tnanded the sad man. “Thero hain’t
uo such times as there used to be—
no such men as there once was.”
“AVell, the times are a little hard,
hut there’s lots of good men left, I
guess.”
“Furty good, maybe,” said tho old
man, as be felt of the stove-piper
“but I can’t ’sociate with ’em! Afte,
a man has knocked around with Dan
iel Webster and Henry Clay ho can’t
conic down on a level with these ev
eryday plugs and feel good.”
“Did you associate with those
men?”
“Did I ? I’ve shaken hands with
Clay, Calhoun and Patrick Henry
more times than you’ve got hairs on
your head !”
“You have, eh?”
“And I knew Gineral Lafayette and
all those fellers, and now to have to
come down on a par with these no
accounts is killing me bv inches. I
don’t care if I die to night.”
“I guess you could get along if you
tried h;ird,” said the sarcastic mer
chant.
“You’re a brazen imago 1” exclaim
ed, tho old n an, spitting on tho stove
with great vigor. “I am as far above
such sunflower men as you are
as the eagle is above the chip
munk.”
“You get out of here!” said the
merchant. You are an ignorant old
drunkard!”
“I am eh !” shouted tho old man,
and he backed the merchant over a
box of palm leaf fans. The clerks
hauled him out doors, aud as tho po
lice took him, the old man said :
“I’m ready to die! Daniel AYeb
ster is up there with the angels, and I
heard him calling me to get out o’
this one-horse crowd.”
