He lec tured Saturday night on the negro ques • lion. Madison, in Morgan county, wants a sys tem of public schools established, and the enterprise will doubtless he successfully es tablished. Anew post office named Pasco has lately been established two miles from Taylorsville, on the East and West railroad, with W. F. Gaston postmaster. It is said that Adairsville Is built on a bed of black marble. There is this much cer tain the old time lime stone will receive and Vetain a high polish. Bam Jones evidently has a poor opinion of Rome. He thus pithily expresses his sentiments: “There is enough hell in the town to make another hell.” CoL Jack Smith, of Atlanta, was in Cal houn a few days this week, and speaks of building a brick warehouse on hi; vacant lots, opposite the livery stable. The oat crop which promised so well a few weeks ago in the vicinity of Cartersviile now' threatens to be a dead faiure on ac count of the continued drought. The Banner-Watchman claims that the Athens “maidens fair” are “300 times xweetar than sugar.” Has the editor of the fanner- Watchman" a “sweet tooth?” w The Brunswick Knights of Pythias, on return home from the Grand 1 wa Savannah, spoke in higli tunugOM Rl!

Yancy Carter passed through Toccoa last week with one Tyner in custody, whom he had arrested in (South Carolina ’lor a viola tion of the revenue law. For more than two years Tyner has been selling whisky publicly, and it is very surprising that he was not arrested sooner. A moonshine whisky wagon and outfit was captured near Ciirtersville last week and six five-gallon casks and one large jug, all filled, were confls -ated. Three prisoners were captured, one of them a deputy sheriff of Pickens county. They were committed to jail in default of a S3OO bond.

Otto Johnson was up for smuggling vermouth, a sort of fiery cordial, and he gave bail for his future appearance. Since prohibition has gone into effect in Athens, Sheriff Weir is finding it hard to get a living. With no jail bird* to feed, and no criminal business to look after, un less his friends are generous, the Sheriff will have a hard time the coming summer. Bad for the Sheriff, but indicative of the town’s prosperity. The military spirit in Augusta is on a boom, with a solid foundation. At each meeting of the infantry and cavalry com panies numerous applications are made for membership. The Richmond Hussars are determined to carry out their part of the revival and will during the summer practice once a week tilting. Friday has been se lected as the day for practice. The stock of goods belonging to J. A. Home, who failed at Griffin some time ago. was sold Thursday by Sheriff R. S. Connell to 8. T. Coleman, Burden & Solomon, of Ma con, for $315. The stock, according to thp Sheriffs inventory , was worth $1,33(5, but as there were no bidder* against him, Mr. Solomon, representing the firm, purchased the stock at a very low figure. It has not lieen decided whether or not the stock will be moved to Macon or disposed of at Griffin by an agent of the firm, One John Hendrick, of Warsaw, Milton county, a confirmed rheumatic, miraculously recovered the use of his limits the other day. He had for ten long years beeu in the habit of resting against a tree, near his home, go ing there in the morning and retiring at night. One day last week a mad dog was lining pursued through the town and shots (Jed at him struck the ti-eo near the crip ple’s head.

Tin**! Axing fellows, vvnow actions are well known, are never censured by their parents who claim to be pillars in the ehureh, and who seem to lie perfectly oblivious to the great wrong their children are committing. It is a shame that these youngsters are al lowed to bring the stuff here for the demor alization of others. W. T. Marsh, an ex-Confederate soldier living near Americas, has a curiosity in the shape of a gntta percha finger ring made by him during the war. Mr. Marsh was a mem ber of Company 8., Third Georgia regiment, and had his left shoulder shattered by a minnie ball at the battle of Malvern Hill. While recovering from his wound, be hol lowed out a button of his coat into the ring, which he ingeniously inlaid with several fragments of bone taken from his broken shoulder. The work is very neatly exe cuted, and the ring is as strong as' when first carved out. Mr. Marsh values it very highly, and exhibits it as a cherished me mento of the late straggle. On Tuesday J. R. Jones, living near Down’s, in Cato’s or Ninety-fifth district, brought some 200 pounds of nice honey to Sandersville. The honey was raised in pound section boxes, making it convenient ror robbing and handling. Mr. Jones is an amateur in bee culture, and seems well posted in the arts and methods necessary to insure success. He now has forty stands, and is striving to swell his number to 100. In addition to flowers, wild and cultivated, he sows buckwheat and clover to increase their honey stores. Mr. Jones is now rail road agent at Cbalker, and exjiects to move to that place, where the forests of the Ogee chee will afford finer bee grounds Gen. Lafayette McLaws, of Savannah, delivered a lecture at the court house in Sylvania Thursday night, on the “Battle of Fredericksburg.” Gen. McLaws knows as much, perhaps, of this battle as any man living, as it was his division that was sta tioned in Fredericksburg to resist the Fed eral*, who were attempting to cross, and finally did cross, in such vast numbers. The lecture was listened to attentively through wit-, and gave many interesting details winch one fails to get in history. He spoke beautifully of Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb, the soldier and statesman, and said that had he lived, his fame would havo equaled, nay surpassed, that of Stonewall Jackson’s. M. V. Day, a prominent and intelligent practical miller of Elbert county, says that in grinding Western corn shipped to that county he trequentfy finds pieces of broken flass In the corn, and that his observation as not been confined to one lot of corn, but to various lots from different points. He says further that he knows of a number of horses and mules that have died in Elbert county from eating perfectly sound Western corn, and that he has examined some of the corn eaten by them and found particles of glass in it. ’ Mr. Day thinks that as there are so many milks in the county that have no appliance for cleaaiat corn, and so much of it fed to stoclctfialftte matter ought to he if it can be done. ' s.

Last week a Wisconsin capitalist was at Atnericus seek ing a desirable location for a $500,000 cotton factory. After being shown the city’s many advantages lie expressed himself well pleased with Americus. Manufacturing en terprises of every kind would pay hand somely there, and’the people anxious for them. A fearful hail storm passed near Chero kee Comerflast Thursday evening. It struck Mr. A. 8. Dorsey’s place iu Clarke county and literally mined his fine' crop of corn ami cotton. Then in its easterly course it struck the farms of R. J. Tuck and R. F. Dillard. Mr. Dillard says lie will probably have to plant the whole of his crop over, both com and cotton. None suffered worse than D. J. Caruthers, whose farm was im mediately in its track, and as he was nearly done chopping out his cotton, his crop suf fered fearfully. Besides these, Messrs. Pope, Draper. Gaulding, Hall, Wilkins and otheis had portions of their crop badly damaged. The nail fell for nearly 15 minutes with ter rible fury and covered the ground, and in many places where it drifted it lay in great piles! Leary Covrier: Last Monday while Mr. Keel, who lives near here, and is a great smoker, was cleaning out his pipe with his pccketknife he let the knife fall from his hand, and in falling the blade stuck into the calf of his right leg and by some means was forced into the flesh up to the hilt. The knife was extracted, but the wound did not bleed a drop, notwithstanding it was a deep one, and alter he had it bandaged Mr. Keel went to his field and went to plowing. Late in the evening lie fainted from exhaustion and became completely unconscious, in which condition he has remained up to this writing. Dr. George ascribes the peculiar phase of Mr. Keel’s illness to nicotine, which was introduced into the blood along With the knife blade. This is a very un usual case. Dalton Citizen: There is a move ment now on foot to establish a large cotton mill at Dalton for the manufacture of both white and checked goods. A gentleman of Providence, 11. 1., who has had thirty years’ experience in cot ton milling, says that he can command a capital of SIOO,OOO, if Dalton will subscribe $50,000 to build anew cotton factory. The mill will ion tain 250 looms and all the latest improved machinery for the manu facture of cotton goods, with nu extensive dyeing apparatus in connection. The sub scription book was opened Wednesday, and already altfmt $30,000 has been subscribed by gentlemen of Dalton, and it is not at ull improbable that even more than the desig nated $50,000 can be raised with but little difficulty. There is an old Indian tradition to the ef fect that in a cave, half a mile south of the big spring, near Ualliouu. can be found a sil ver mine iinsupaßsed in quality and quantity. That the Indians used to go into the cave and cut the silver out w ith their toma hawks. and that when forced to leave this country they rolled a large stone from the mountain above and with it closed the en trance. This cave Is on the lands of L. L, Bennett, but has never been entered bv a pale face on accouut of the great rock, which weighs several tons; and stands guard over the untold treasure. It is Mr. Bennett's intention as soon as the orojis are laid, to remove the rock and explore the cave. There is every evidence of the truth of the statement that the rock was placed there by the hand of mail. On the side of the mountain is a great excavation from which the rock was taken and rolled down to its present posi tion. The rains of half a century nave buried it deep into the ground, but w ith a little dynamite and a few heavy strokes of the hammer Mr. Bennett may be counted the millionaire of North Georgia. In the countv of Gilmer this week there are being tried two men for murder, and should the State succeed in convicting both it will lie one of the most remarkable con victions in the annals of the criminal law in Georgia. In the fall of 1884 AVebb Kindly and one Woody met at a church on thertoj, of Blue Ridge. After the services were over, when all were preparing to go home. Kindly and Woody got into a difficult!-, as there had been Itad feelings between them for years, Findly having followed the "Lost, Cause” to the end and Woody being on the Union side, lioth brawny, hardy moun taineers. Woody finally drew his pistol and commenced firing at Findly, who returned the fire until both had exhnusied their pistols. Findly was slightly wounded in two places, as was also Woody. who was more severely hurt. A bystander by -he name of McKinsey was mortally wounded during the inter change of shots, and died that night. Both Findly and Woody were indicted for his murder, hence the trial; and it seems to be enveloped in considerable mystery as to which one did the killing. Woody has served twelve months In the penitentiary for ou assault with intout to murder Findly, THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MAY 22, 1887—TWELVE PAGES. and about the time he got out he drew a pension from the United States govern ment of over SI,OOO. Litt Kanes, of Gilmer county, has rather a peculiar history. Just after the war he had S2OO in gold, and kept it in bis trunk. One Sunday morning he started to church, and fearing someone would break in and steal his little fortune, he returned and care fully wrapped the gold in a rag and con cealed it in a crack of the house. During his absence at church a thief broke in, rifled everything, beds, boxes and trunks in search of money, but failed to find any. This bold break thoroughly frightened Hanes and he resorted to another mode of concealment. Taking a jug and filing off its neck so as to ad mit species of all kinds, he carefully con cealed it in a by-way near his mountain borne and rolled ’a large 150-pound rock over it. Since then he lias added every dollar to its bulk he could accumulate, never remov ing it from its sequestered haunt. The other day he took out his jpg to pav for a farm which he had purchased in Cherokee county, and on taking it to Jasper to count out the money it was found to contain $1,500. The farm lumped the pile, but it is said to be worth $4,000. His fife has been one of comparative seclusion, and his little ante-bellum repository is now the means of future comparative ease. S. J. Smith, a hard-working farmer of Dodge county, living about seven miles west of Eastman, was perhaps fatally injured on the railroad of the Ainoskeag Lumber Com pany last Friday afternoon. Mr. Smith had been to Eastman, and on starting home, as was his custom, he boarded the train at the Amoskeag works. When the train reached the place where he had usually been getting off, Mr. Smith was standing on the rear trucks, mid, motioning the engineer to slow up, the train was soon almost at a standstill. Just at this time Mr. Smith stepped off the rear end and at tempted to leave the track before the train, which was backing, could overtake him. He had not taken more than one step, how ever, liefore his foot came in contact with a erosstie and he fell, the trucks passing over him. As soon as possible he was token from under the cal's, and carried to his home some distance off. An investigation revealed the fact that he had sustained injuries fearful to contemplate. Both arms were com pletely shattered and his head was terribly bruised, besides other injuries. Drs. Buchan, Latimer and Fisher were hastily summoned and amputated the right arm. It was thought that the un fortunate man could not bear up under the operation of taking off the left arm, and that was defeixed for the present, though there is absolutely no hope of saving it. Mr Smith at last accounts was in a very critical condition, and his death at any moment would not surprise his physicians. He has a wife and two children' dependent upon him for support. FLORIDA.

At a recent meeting of the Board of Trade, Jacksonville, a proposition was sub mitted to have the name of the city changed in the new city charter and made instead “St. John.” It met with general favor, but the Legislature was too near a close for any action to be taken. At a special meeting of the St. Augustine Common Council Wednesday night it was decided to trade the Mansfield, fire engine, which has only been used once since it was purchased and then did heroic duty, for a new No. 5 Silsby, giving long notes tor the payment of the differences. The iate religious revival at Ocala brought 210 souls within the pale of the church, dis tributed as follows; Methodist, 80; Presby terian, 55; Baptist. 40; Episcopal, 20—more than some preachers convert in a lifetime.

A lady at Oxford has adopted an in genious method for keeping hex- unruly chickens at home. She ties a small corn cob to one leg. allowing it to dangle at a distance of about 6 inches.

It is the coquina house on Hospital street. This building is one of its oldest buildings, and has been visited by thousands of tourists from all parts of the world who were attracted by its peculiar interior construction. The lot was sold last week. The Italian fruit dealers are much exer cised over the threatened closing of their stands on June 1 by the Mayor. Several have consulted lawyers in regard to the matter. The citizens generally are di vided upon the subject; a majority, how ever, seem to favor the venders, as they have complied with all former ordinances. Strawberry shipping is nearly suspended at Belleview! Many have realized good re turns for the crop, though the profits have not been so great as in some past seasons. There seems to be a growing interest in the rice business, and the acreage sown is con stantly increasing. It is quite certain that this industry will be fairly tested this year. Live Oak Banner: We are informed that some days ago, while a man was plowing in the field"formerly owned by Mr. J. J. Phil lips, the ground’ under him suddenly gave way, and a place 10 or 12 feet square sunk about 8 feet, carrying both man and horse down, but fortunately neither was injured.

The Orlando Record pathetically remarks anent the new connty of Osceola,' of which Kissimmee is to be the county seat: “Orange tearfully and with sincere regret parts with the thriving and energetic town on the great Rake of Tohopekaliga, but wishes her the greatest measure of prosperity and success m her new sphere. Orlando extends out stretched arms to the departing sister, and affectionately exclaims, ‘Kissimmee, good bye!’” It is stated upon good authority that in the event of William Aster’s refusal to ex tend the lease of the Park Opera House Company, of Jacksonville, that organiza tion will purchase the lot northeast corner of Ocean and Forsyth street, owned by John Q. Burbridge, and used by him as a grocery store. It is understood that the owner will dispose of the valuable piece of property at reasonable terms. This lot is 104 feet wide by 110 deep, and for a theatre a better or more desirable location could not lie found in the city. The plans for the now building has been submitted to all the stockholders, and each man has expressed himself well pleased with the drawings. The entire building will be of brick, with white marble columns running from foundation to roof at both the front and side. The lirst floor will consist of live fine stores. The Welbourne block, when completed, will bo the finest in Sanford. On the first floor corner will be the First National Bank of Hanford, having three fine stores for rent.
