A petition for a charter has been recorded before the court of Bumtor oounty, wherein it is asked that t,h<* “Muckaiee' Manufac turing Company’’ of Americas be ineorno rated. This is the initial step toward a pyi.OOO cotton factory which a number of the prominent business men of Americus propose to erect at no distant day, and which even now is being pushed with vigor. At Macon Saturday night about 10 o’clock old man Washington King, a negro of whose history very little is known, started through Vinevillc "to his home in the su burb*. He was carrying a loaded shot gun. and Sunday morning bis body was found stiff and cold in death,with a ghastly ■wound in the neck, which had severed the jugular vein. The Coroner's jury investi gated the .case and came to the conclusion that deceased came to his death from the effects of a gun-shd wound, the weapon having been accidentally' discharged in bis own hands. Crawfordville Demorrnt: Tn reference to how long land will last we cau give the fol lowing reliable statement about some Tal iaferro land: Mr. A. .1. Chapman is this year cultivating a spot of ground that his grand father rented over eighty-five years ago. Aud tbe grandsire Chapman sain lie rente 1 it when he first came to this country, and he said that his neighbors told him then that it had already been rented for enough money to cover it over with silver dollars. Tbe same piece of land bus been cultivated regularly ever since, and it lias been ma nured but once in all these years: yet it now bears good crops of com or anything else that may lie planted thereon. Saturday Marshall C. Griffeth was plow ing in his field in Oconee county, with his gun resting on the plow stock. The plow struck a rock, causing the stock to bound and the gun to discharge. The load entered the left arm of Mr. Griffeth between the shoulder and the elbow, making a fearful wound. Mr. Griffeth was taken to his home and medical attention called. It was at once decided to remove the wounded limb into which the shot had plowed w ith cruel laceration. Saturday evening Drs. Elder, Gwinn and Carithers amputated the ami at the shoulder. Mr. Griffeth was doing well. He was one of the strongest men in Oconee county, and will doubtless survive this affliction. A little nejrsboy put up a “good one” on Ordinary A. 0.

He doesn’t say much about it, but is lying low for tliat boy, who now gives the court house a wide” berth in his daily rounds. Mrs. Gue. a widow living in Banks’ build ing at Columbus, nearly died Saturday night from accidentally drinking some coffee which contained a large quantity of powdered opium. It appears that a bottle containing ibis deadly drug was in the house. Mrs. Cue’s servant wanted the bottle and she poured its contents in what she thought was an empty coffee sack. Saturday night Mrs. Gue took the coffee from the sack and jnade a pot of coffee, which she prow-eded to drink. She swallowed two or three large mouthfuls of the mixture before she dis covered that something was wrong. The ladV immediately became deathly sick, and Dr. T.S. Mitchell was hastilvsummoned. The doctor found her nearly dead, hut bv vigor ous treatment .Saturday night about 11 o'clock she was considered out of danger. At, Brunswick on Thursday night H. C. Taylor discovered a white man in his house and ran him off. Saturday he saw a suspi cious looking man lounging near his prpm isea and he charged him with being the man who entered his house the night be fore. This the man denied and claimed to be a plumber, aud said he could prove an alibi by W. A. Jeter. Mr. Taylor took him to Mr. Jeter, who identified him and said tliat lie was in his office at the time Mr. Taylor claims his house was entered. This satisfied Mr. Tnv lor, w-bo purchased a .'lb-calibre revolver which the man had Tn his possession for 84. The revolver has since been claimed hv off! cor Forbes, who state* that the pistol was stolen from him.

News reached Jug Tavern Saturday- night ) that a man Was found hanging iu the house used for holding court in Bee Smith’s dis- ! trict, in Gwinnett county. The < ’oroner wa* summoned and an inquest held, but no evidence of identity could be found on the person of the young man.

Two day* later he was found hang ing by a siixilender mid leather strap from a joist above, with his arm* stretched out, hi* face near the wall, and hat lying under hint. It was evidently a case of suicide. He is described as being it young man. low in stature, heavily set, ami strong Irish features, moustache, scars on two lingers of left band a> if made by a knife long ago. His dress was neat, with new shoes mid *us jrenders on. In his pockets were found 10c. in silver and a lilani memorandum with no words or figures to show anything. In his satchel, which was found on" the floor near him, were found two pairs of pants, a coat and a half dozen white aprons, with straps to go over the shoulders and around the hips, such as are worn by barbers and hotel waiters No signs of foul play were discov ered on bis laxly, and no blame can be at tached to any one living in the district. It was evidently premeditated suicide. FLORIDA. Charlotte Harbor has a practicing female physician. A festival at Braidontown raised $63 for Willcmsen Academy. The Apalachicola river is now as low as it has been for several years. Alligator hides and bird skin* are appear ing in Fort Ogden by the wagon load. At a lire in Key West.

Formerly they were smooth, but now there is a little protuberance at one end. At Pen*acola Friday night Police Officer John Morrissv shot and killed Robert Ba quine (colored), who was resisting arrest by throwing stones at the police. Basquine was an ex-convict and desperado.

Live Oak Bulletin; Two colored men met in front of Joe Hardee’s gate, near Colum bus, the other day and engaged iu a regular life and death tight, one using a stick and the other a knife. Mr. Harare turned out his yard dog with instructions to separate them, which he did in short order, but. not before one of them was perhaps fatally cut and the other pretty badly bruised up.' The one that did the cutting is now in jau here, the other lieiug too severely injured to be moved. The Messrs. Blaine Brothers have leased the saw mill at Novella, belonging to Capt. Garner, and Mr. Burrows' mill in Green Cove, and are already actively at work in sawing the lumber to till several contracts for cars for Northern roads. The lumber will lx* dressed and tilled, when it will lx* sent to its destination and put together iu proper shape. Within a short time, the Messrs. Blaine will turn oat complete cars from that point, and will therefore largely increase their force of workmen. Henry Ware and Wiley Daniels had an altercation last, Tuesday in Ogden, which resulted in the shooting of Dan lobby Ware. It seems that Ware, wno is the administra tor of the estate of F.manuel Blanco, was accused by Daniels of misappropriating cer tain funds belonging to the estate, where upon Ware drew his pistol and fired three shots at Daniels, one of the balls taking ef fect, inflicting an ugly wound. Dr. J. B. Gibson was called, and upou examination pronounced the wound not necessarily dan gerous. Ware was arrested. As Joseph Jones, a prominent and re iqieoted member of on* of Fernandina's col ored churches, was sitting at the supper table in his house, just east of tin* park, on Monday night Inst, some miscreant inserted a pistol through a crack in the weather boarding and tired n shot which was evi dently intended to kill. The hall took effect in the hock of Joe's bend, inflicting a serious though not fatal wound. It is thought the motive for the deed grew out of some church quarrel, and though suspicion rests on more t han one person, no clue has yet been founa sufficient to warrant an arrest. A few days ago the residence ami smoke house of L. B. Owens, eight miles south of Quincy, were consumed hv tire. There was no person at the house when it took fire, the family lieiug in a field some distance away, und did not discover the lire until the build ings wen* burned almost to the ground.

A writer in the Sit tiirdaij AViTcic describes how the traffic along the Suez Canal is di rected and controlled from the office at Ter replein, near Suez. The number of ships in the oanul at the same time is something very great. Dee. 8 last, for oxaniple, 15 steamers cleared the canal', of which 7 were outward bound. The previous day 1* ships cleared, and the day before 7, so that during Dec. 8 some :t0 shi]>s were probably at one time in the canal. Sometimes there are as many as 40, and all are completely under the control of the French gentleman sitting at his desk in an upper chamber at Terrepleiu. The method of working is exceedingly simple. Against the wall at one side of the room is a narrow shelf or platform, along which runs a groove. At intervals this trough or groove has deep recesses, and at two places these recesses are of larger size. This trough or groove represents the canal. The recesses are the sidings. The larger intervals are the flreat Ritter Lake and I*alte Timsob. When a vessel has been signaled and is about to enter the canal at, say the Suez end, a small toy Isiat or model three or four inches long is chosen to represent her. A group of these model ships stands ready beside the model canal, each furnished with a flag. About forty have tiv English flag, ten or a dozen (ho French flag, and so on with other na tionalities. As the steamer comes up and her name is known it is written on piper and placed on the toy boat. The whole number of shi[>s thus actually In the canal at any moment can be soon at a glance; and, as the telegraphic signals give notice, the toy Is,at.s arc moved along, or placed in a siding, or shown traversing one of the lakes at full speed. Hi gratis are sent from the office to the various ‘•garcs - ’ prescribing the siding at which each ship must stop to I t another meet and pass it. The official who is on fluty kis*|s the models moving as he receives notice, taking cure when iierliaps two ship, going in opposite directions are both nearing the same siding to give timely warning to the pilots in eiiMige bv means <‘f the signal Iwlls and flags at each station un der his control from the office, and to direct which of the two is pi he up and which to piVs-ed.

I found five "cards hidden under the table one niglit after we were through playing.” “What was your ante”' A lawyer, wh* is a church member, whis pered that he didn't think tbe female tela fives of the defendant ought to be /b agged into the case, but he looked relieved when the witness answered. "Five cents.' The witnesses were all examined, hut the case will not be givcu to the jury until this morning. As Mr. Lipscombe was leaving the court the reporter asked him if he played poker. "Just a little,” said that gentleman. “Take a cigar,” and the man who plays poker just a little disappeared around an angle of the corridor. “Rough on Rats,” dears out rats, mice, roaches, Hies, ants, bedbugs, beetles, inserts, skunks, jack rub bits, sparrows, gophers. 15c.
