6 THREE STATESJX BRIEF. GEORGIA, FLORIDA AND SOUTH CAROLINA HAPPENINGS. Quitman Has the Novel Spectacle of Prayers In Barrooms—A Notorious Irwin County Man Who Skipped to Texas Returns and Bids Defiance to the Authorities A Colquitt County Woman Gives Birth to Triplets. GEORGIA. Fox hunting is good at Madison Rice beer can’t be sold in Atlanta. Adjourned term of Thomas Superior Court meets next Monday. Judge Hansell has been bolding court in Lowndes the past week. The Atlanta Aldermen refuse to permit ice cream cakes to be sold on the streets. Strawberries, garden “sass,” green apples and colic keep the Madisonians in clover. Glasscock county, in this State, has neither a Jones or a Smith in it. Wonderful. Jeff Lane, of Macon, asks for bids on grading a railroad from that city to Val dosta. A first-class restaurant or a hotel con ducted on the European plan is being talked of for Thomasville. Several melon growers near Quitman have plowed up their melons and planted corn instead. The melons are dying. The colored Methodists of Voldosta are raising funds to build a church in the \ il lage and already have a respectable sum subscribed. Valuable pointer dogs are being poisoned at Albany, and the dog owners are Banding together to discover the perpetrator ana punish him. Joe Davison, who died at Woodville last week, was insured in the Legion of Honor for $5,000, which his family will get in a short time. C. H. Thoni[ison, of Thomasville, who was bitten by annul dew some three weeks ago, is suffering intensely from the worst form of hydrophobia The city authorities of Madison have in creased the police force for Saturdays and Saturday nights. This is a wise mo ve and will meet the hearty approval of all, espe pecially the ladies. Mr. Alliert Converse, Jr., and Miss Em ma Clarke, of Valdosta, were united in mar riage there Wednesday, Rev. George P. Clark officiating. Thomas county was named after Gen. Jett Thomas. It is fair to presume that the county seat, Thomasville, took its name in like manner. The county was laid out and Its capital city located and named in 1825. John Boatwright, a white man and a track hand on the railroad in J. H. Leary's section, near Crawford, while at work Fri day, lost his balance and fell agross the track. The car passed over him, breaking his leg above the ankle. Comptroller General Wright has in his office a magnificent sword which his father, Gen. A. R. Wright, captured from an officer of the Twenty-third Indiana, in 1851, when he was in command of the Third Georgia regiment, and which he wore during the remainder of the day. A few days ago Mrs. English, wife of ex- Sheriff Tom English, of Colquitt county, gave birth to triplets, all of wliich are living. She bore triplets some five years ago, one of whom died. At these and two intervening births she has borne eight chil dren, seven of which are living. Madison Madisonian : The revival at the Methodist church still continues. Surely the good men who an; working so faithfully for the welfare of others will yet bo re warded. It speaks well for the morality and intelligence of our people at least, that they are attending church better of late. One gentleman in Thomas county has, since the mail dog excitement was raised, kiiled seventeen worthless dogs, and he is still engaged in the good work. The life of a good citizen is worth all the dogs in the Uuited States. Now if. a good time to thin ’em out. Lei the good work go on. A curious statement comes from the pemi tentiary office in regard to the treatment of convicts. The statement is that during the bust twelve months hardly any of the dis charged convicts whose terms expired have gone to their homes, but remain at the camps in the employment of the lessee au thorities. This is vouched for by Mr. E. T. Sbubriek, the assistant keeper. Zebulon, the shire town of Pike county illustrates the folly of kicking against rail roads. Fifty years ago it was the most flourishing inland town in the State, could boast of fine schools, greater wealth and more intelligent citizenship than any of her neighbors, but kicker! against the Macon rail road coming through her corporate limits and now cau only boast what she was in the long ago. During the series of meetings recently closed in the Baptist • church at Waycross twenty-four were added to the church. Owing to the inconvenience attending the baptism of converts and the distance which they are re quired to go in order to find a sufficiency of water, the church has decided to erect a baptistry. A subscription has lieen raised and the matter is in the hands of a commit tee appointed by the church. Tile citizens of Worth county who voted net long since on removal of the court house ascertained that two-thirds of ttie county were in favor of removal, but as there were three places in the race—Stockade, Sumner and Isabella—neither of which got the re quisite two-thirds majority. The voters are now petitioning the Ordinary to allow them another election on the location, which if granted, it is supposed that Sumner will be the county site. Waycross District Conference of the Methodist church convenes in Valdosta this week There will be preaching in the church on Wednesday evening at 8:30 p. m. Thursday at 11 a. m. the opening sermon by K*v. J. D. Anthony. Friday will lie de voted to the interest of missions chiefly. Friday evoaing, 8:30 p. in., will be devoted tq the interest of the Woman's Missionary Society. Several distinguished ladies, offi cers of the society, will be present. Mrs. Walker, of Savannah, Mrs. Miller, of Way cross, and Mrs. McLain, of Americas, who was for a time a missionary in China, will be present and take a prominent part in the exercises. A notorious character by the name of Haines, who formerly lived in Irwin county and who run away arid went to Texas for making swamp pens, in which he sheared other people’s sheep, appropriating the pro ceeds to Ills own use, returned not long since urmisl with a Winchester rifle and two 38- calihre Kinith & Wesson repeater* and bids defiance to the authorities. Since his return he lias Ix-cn engagis 1 in shooting down sheep ill the woods and shearing off their is nils and leaving their carcasses to lie eaten by the buzzards, A sheriff in Texas writes that liainos is wanted there for stealing money and other articles. The quiet little town of Quitman was con siderably excited on Tuesday morning last,, about 10 o'clock, when several of the most prominent ladies of the town came from the meeting which was iu progress at the Methodist church, and entering Joyce's and Ho son's Ixirrooms offered up sliort but easiest prayers in each of the places. To say that Messrs. Joyce and Hojison were astonished anil dumbfounded at the visit bjt faintly expresses their feeling. Tliore u;t* no better or purer women in Quitman time those who entered the barrooms on tldit morning and they were actuated iu w hat they aid by the best and parent motives. Atlanta is improving her already excel lent Are department by adding to ft anew engine house and anew chemical engine. Improvements have also been made iu the electric alarm service by putting in four C.'irant rejiotitehi, whereby each ol the four divisions of tho city has an independent con nection with tho headquarter* or the depart -iirfint. The new chemical engine has been shipped and will arrive In a few days. A new company will b* formed from the members of the old ones whose places in turn will lie Ailed by new appointments. The chemical engine and reel will occupy No. 1 engine house, and the steamer and reel at No. 1 will betaken to the new engine hoase just complete-1 on Prior street, near the building of the Y. M. C. A. Dalton Citizen: As we have frequent ly said, the way to build a solid city, is uiion the solid foundation of manufactures. We have been most favorably impressed with another industry, for which this place is peculiarly adapted, by a visit to the warehouse of Judge Van Ness. He has some samples of veneers, cut on the new system of rotary cutting, from a pine log sent by him to a firm near Cleveland, O. The veneers are about four feet wide, and some no thicker than paper and many yards in length. A sample of gum shown as was cut from a roll measuring Six feet wide and a mile and a quarter long. To enumerate the uses to which this material is adapted would occupy more space than we could well afford in this issue. The sale is announced of the old stable lot on the corner of Broad and Jefferson streets, Thomasville. A little over one year ago it was sold bv Mr. McLendon to Mr. Stever man for $5,750. A few days ago this same piece of property, without a dollar’s worth of improvement" was sold for $7,500. The purchaser was Mr. Masury, of New York, who recently purchased the Blackshear place. This silences all croakei-s about Thomasvilie’s upward tendency, for when such men as Mr. Masuiy put out $39,000 in one piece of property, and immediately in vest $7,000 in another. U(X>n which it is not improliable that he will put a handsome im frovement, it speaks well for the future. his piece of property fronts about 100 feet on Broad street, and "is the choicest location in the city for another hotel, which is now a necessity. Doc Stubbs poured a load of No. 0 shot into the left arm and side of Bob Hughes from the muzzle of a double-barrel suot gun late last Saturday afternoon, inflicting several very painful, though not dangerous wounds. Both men are negroes. Both of them were in Eastman Saturday, and to gether they started for their homes over Gum Swamp about 5 o’clock in the after noon. When about three miles from town Stubbs commenced abusing Hughes atxmt something he had said about his (Bob’s) wife, and concluded by telling him that if he didn’ retract he would kill him. Hughes refused to take back what he had said, out, to the contrary, repeated the statement with emphasis, swore that it was true, and de clared that he would die by it, whereupon Stubbs shot him as above stated. At Americas Wednesday, as little Charlie Cobb was passing Chapman’s restaurant on Lamar street , he was fiercely attacked by a setter dog, who rushed out of the door and threw the cliild to the ground, biting it badly, once in the side and again in the just over the heart. The little fellow was carried into the drug store next door and his injuries attended to, which, while very painful, are not considered serious, as the dog was not thought to be mad. The same dog bit a little negro Tuesday morn ing, but not as badly as he did the little l>oy later on. Mr. Chapman values the dog highly, and asked to tie allowed to send him home instead of killing him. This favor was granted him, but the police were in stnieted to shoot him should ne ever appear on the streets of the city again. • FLORIDA. The Ocala Ledger has just been Issued. The mills of Simpson & Cos., of Black water, are idle, undergoing repairs and waiting for rain. The Palatka Board of Trade is considering the matter of the new city charter now before the Legislature. The AVhite railroad is building anew and extensive wharf over at Daytona which will be of great service to that community. The dry kiln at Black water is well under way, anil two carloads of rails, piping, ma chinery and roofing have arrived for it. G. W. Means, of Evinston, shipped the first Pieu-to peaches of the season tnis year. They were stmt to Charleston and brought S2O per bushel. M. J. Doyle is having a roof put on tho upper veranda of the Everglade Hotel, Ban ford, which will add much to the appear ance of the house. The Florida Southern Railway Company have discharged all of their old freight and passenger conductors with the single excep tion of Bob Gamble. Rt. Rev. Bishop Moore, of St. Augustine, has gone East to try to raise funds to re build the old Spanish cathedral. The Ponce de Leon Hotel employes alone subscribed SI,OOO. The new county of Osceola, just formed, will be a part of the Second Congressional district, a part of the Twentieth Senatorial district, and is included in tho Seventh ju dicial circuit. Bridgeville is the name of anew post office just established in Putnam county, with E. J. Bridge as Postmaster. It is four miles south of Keuka on tho transfer road to Orange Spring. Mrs. Ruth A. Black has just donated to the Archer Presbyterian church a full and handsome silver communion service, con sisting of five pieces, together with a silver baptismal font. J. W. Sperring, of Live Oak, and Messrs. Ruff and Mobley, of Padlock, are all har vesting May oats. The crop is fine, and Mr. Sparring’* new reaper, drawn by two horses, cut them clean. William Fulcher, anemployeof the Louis ville and Nashville railroad" at Pensacola, was caught between the earn the other day, while coupling, and rectived severe but not lutal internal injuries. One day last week a convict by the name of Lee fauthern tried to run from a guard at Live Oak and whs shot in the back and died from the effects. An examination was held and the verdict was “justifiable.” The Florida Institute will close next week on Friday. Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted to public examination, commenc ing each day at 8:80 a. m. and closing at 2:80 o’clock p. m. The public are cordially in vited to attend. 1 The trial of Jeff Ixiwe at Pensacola, the mulatto charged w ith the murder of an un known man at Pine Barren, supposed to be one H. C. Smith, has been jxistponed to Wednesday, May 25. The circumstantial evidence is strong against him. City Marshal Manuey, of Palatka, has posted circulars about the streets giving notice that on and after June 1 the dog ordi nance will be rigidly enforced. This means that all worthless curs caught without a collar running about the streets will ie shot. At the regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Florida Fruit Ex change, General Manager Ives made a re jxirt for the season just closing, showing tiie total shipments handled by the Exchange during the season of 1836-87 to lie 156,008 boxes of oranges. The New Smyrna Breeze, a four-page, seven-column newsj>a]or, has been estab .lishcsl at New Smyrna, the new and premi sing little town on the Atlantic bench. Tiie Breeze is published by L. H. Eldenrige, and edited by John Y. Defwilcr, and is full of interesting matter alxmt its town and section. The schedule of the steamer Rockledgo is changed so tliai she now loaves TitiuviUe for points south at Ba. m. on Mondays, Wed nesdays and Fridays. Returning north, she leaves Melbourne on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at sa. rn., making connec tions at Titusville with outgoing train for Jacksonville ut 12 noon. Pensacola J’ensaeolian: Maj. Huer, the engineer in charge of this lighthouse dis trict. reached here last week, and lias been making observations tor tho construction of range lights and L-aeons for Pensacola, bar and upper Pensacola Bay, provided for by last Congress, and work on them will, presumably, be commenced at on early duy. The Lake Weir corresjjondont of the Mous ing News write* thnt the Hood Seminary cloned Friday night with a conceit. The Lake Weir people are justly proud of the effort made by the teachers of Uiat Institu THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. MAY 23, 1887. tion. The exercises consisted of music, es.-avs and calisthenics. There were four graduates —Misses Bertha Benson, Kate Car ney, Musa Wright and Josie Carney Col. Thomas J. Roberts, of Centreville last week left samples of German millet and oats at the Tallahassee Floridian office. The oat stalks measured 5 feet 10 inches in height, ar.d the millet was very tee. The Colonel has about 130 acres in oats, and his crop was never better. From five acres of millet he expects to cut twenty tons. He will start his reapers and mower this week. Sanford is to have a grand Fourth of July celebration this year. At a public meeting held there Thursday committees were ap pointed on transportation, finance, music, grounds, base ball, regatta, reception, ad visory, fire department and advertising, and the committees are to report weekly the progress of their work. All the citizens are taking an active interest in the matter and the probability is the celebration will be a rousing one. The question of a shell drive for Palatka has been discussed in and out of season for months,but uotbiugdefimte was ever done uu til a committee of the Palatka Board of Trade took an interest in the matter, and already the matter is taking shape. A good round sum from public spirit'd citizens has already been assured for a drive out River street, along the foot of the Heights and back down Lemon street, and the probability is that work will be begun on the drive within a very short while. Monday night last Messrs. Walter Dopon, E. O’Donnelfund W. P. Scofield captured a monster jew fish near the railroad wharf at Cedar Key. They hadffmt a stout hook and line baited with a whole mullet for shark, tait were, at a late hour in the night, re warded by hooking and successfully landing the jew fish. The gross weight of this mon ster was 848 pounds, being 6 feet 7 1-2 inches long, and 2 feet thick. His head, when se vered from the body, weighed 63 pounds. The fish was game and died hard, almost ex hausting tho three gentlemen before it suc cumbed. The advantage of Palatka as a distribut ing point for freights is fully recognized and appreciated by the railroads, as is proven by the fact that nearly every road in South Florida has its iron and other supplies delivered there by schooners. The Orange Belt railway, which is to run from Monroe, on the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railway, to Point Pinellas, below Tampa, has already arranged for the shipment of twenty cargoes of iron via Palatka. These twenty schooners will arrive and discharge their cargoes during the summer, and the handling of this heavy freight will require the services of a large force of hands. SOUTH CAROLINA. Edgefield observed Memorial day. Over 100 persons left Spartanburg last week to attend the national arilL A large party of Greenville people went to Washington Friday to attend the national drill There nre over 2,(XX) tons of steel rail now Eiled at the depot at Camden to be used in uilding the 3-tTs railroad. Greenville wants one Of the agricultural experimental stations, and a committee is actively at work to that end. The Young Men’s Christian Association of Florence is in a most flourishing condition and the membership is increasing all the while. It is rumored that the Atlantic Coast Line will build an extension of railway from Bishopville to Camden during the coming summer. James Epps, Sr., of Clarendon county, residing near the Williamsburg line, lost hundreds of dollars in timber by a forest fire which lately swept through his wood lands. The barley birds, one of the worst enemies the oat crop has, have arrived in large num bers in Kershaw county, but thus Far they have had but few fields to prey upon, as the early oat crop Is very limited indeed. Charles Whit us, of Chester, who was re cently tried and punished by a tee of S2O for selling whisky without a license, has closed his so-called drug store and announces the pleasing fact that he is forever done with whisky. The cotton factory to be erected in the town of Fort Mill. York comity, is an as sured fact. The enterprising people there went to work a few weeks since ana secured funds enough to commence the erection of the building at once. Lightning struck the house of Mr. S. A. Bronson, near Summerton, Clarendon coun ty, on Friday last, and knocked down most of the plastering and set fire to the stairs. Five people on the premises received severe shoeks by the discharge. An infant of Mr. Robert West, of Hamp ton county, formerly a resident of Sandy Dam, met with a horrible death from con centrate lye on Saturday last. The lye was girt-n on bread to the cliild by the nurse, she supposing it to be butter. According to information obtained from farmers in various sections of Edgefield, Aiken and Lexington counties, it is learned that there is a good stand of cotton. The farmers are all busy chopping it out, and they have good weather for the work. The green pea crop of James Island is nearly over, Dut as tne truckmen look smil ing it is to be inferred they did not lose any thing on it. The Irish potatoes look well, but are small, and unless they have heavy rains in a few days the crop will be a short one. A little child of Middleton Myers,* a negro living at Sandy Dam. Colleton county, was burned to death one night last week. It was left alone in the house by its parents, there being a fire in the chimney, and on then- re turn the child was fatally burned, and died on the following day. Isaac Jenkins, of Abbeville (colored), was bitten by a snake last week. The reptile struck him through jhis shoe and his foot immediately swollea' up to wonderful pro portions. Two toads were procured and tied to the injured foot and sucked the poison out. He is all right now. Probably the oldest person in South Caro lina lives in Newberry. Lucinda Easter, a colored woman of that town, who is now 100 years old. Her mother died at the advanced age of 119. Each of these old women bad 22 children. Lucinda, who is now living in Newberry, lost her youngest child about two year* ago at the age of 6i. One of the railroad hands working near Lancaster wua junqtcd on and beaten within an inch of his life by seven or eight or his companions last Saturday night for having charged one of the party with stealing his rations. In justification of their conduct, however, the assaulting darkies say that their victim liad threatened to put ipecac in their victuals. J. S. Amos, of Campobello lias been pros pecting for gold and iron. He has found a vein of magnetic iron ore, which has been traced several miles. The samples seen are very flue. Ho lias also found some promising specimens of gold. The indica tions are that the people are going to inves tigate the mineral resource* of the county in a business way. The citizens of Triangle, wide awake to the interest of the surrounding countiy and for tiia building up of their town, have signed a written obligation blaming them selves to give one-third of their saleable lots to any respectable white man, on condition that on said lot. he erect a house worth not less tlmn $2iK), t liecome his property when the house Is completed. On Sunday morning last., Mary, the little daughter of Mr. Thomas Melton,"of Chester field, was engaged in washing the dishes rear tho fire alter tiie morning meal, vhen her dress caught fire, and before her mother succeeded in extinguishing the Annies she was painfully and dangerously burned. Mrs. Melton had her hands and arms badly burn ed in trying to save the child. The Florence Bank enterprise is nil right, und by tho next businmi season will be in full blast. The interest taken in the Flor “•ice. Hyman mid Georgetown railroad is inertnurfiig, and tho rood will )*• built 'Hie completion of tiie Wilson and Florence wnort cut) railroad, now being built, will open up a large and new trade to the busi ness men of Florence from one of the garden spots of the State. Capt. Simms, the Clerk of Court at Black ville, was accidentally thrown from his buggy Friday and painfully hurt, falling on his head. Concussion of the brain was pro duced, resulting in unconsciousness for some time. There is a painful contusion on one side of his head. Medical attendance was immediately procured, and Capt. Simms was sufficiently restored to be taken h< me. Although he lias recovered consciousness he has no recollection of the events of the day or of the accident. Very extensive preparations are being made ‘for the “crazy pink tea ” and baby show which the ladies of the Sumter Epis copal church purpose holding next week. Thirty-seven habies have been entered for the pennant, but the committee on arrange ments is still in a quandary as to the judg®. Several gentlemen have indicated their will ingness to sit in judgement, provided the committee will pay the costs of their taking out life insurance policies beforehand. The ladies are as yet undecided as to v.hat course to adopt. An epidemic of peculiar character is re ported as prevailing among the cows in the Grove Station section of the county, near Greenville. Some eight or ten cows have died in the past month in one settlement, and local investigators of the disease are puz zled. Certain varieties of weeds and grass, supposed to be the cause of the distemper, have been sent to the Agricultural Depart ment for examination, and it is probable that State Veterinarian Mclnnes will be asked to come up and investigate if the trouble continues. A tremendous hail storm passed over Pickens comity Thursday, doing much damage, and in some sections literally ruin ing the crops. Corn, cotton and oats were cut down to the ground by the large liafls of ice as they rattled down thick and fast. The crops were all looking very fine till the re cent hail storms, and the hopes of the fanners were high. They will, however, make haste to repair their loss by replanting coni and cotton. This hail storm is the third one which has visited that section in the last week, and it begins to look like this is the spring of hail storms. Batesburg is noted for lumber, turpen tine and rosin. Mr. Peterson, of the Mount Willing section of Edge-field county, and David Rawls, of Batesburg, are large ship pers of yellow pine lumber. They sell most of their stock to the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company. The millstone busi nessis also an item at that place. E. W. McLenna and William McAlister are each working quarries on Cloud’s creek. The granite from these quarries is said to sur pass anything for grinding com that can be round. Cloud’s creek millstones are in use in almost every- section of this State and in a large portion of Georgia. A oonstable in the employ* of Trial Justice C. O. Wheeler, of Mayesville, brought a prisoner, John I). Henry (colored), charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, iO the Sumter jail Thursday afternoon, heavily manacled with chains around his neck and hands, and his head very badly beaten up, apparently with the butt of a pis tol. The jailer was absent when the prisoner arrived, and the janitor did not seek to make any investigation. Everybody who saw the case is indignant at the apparently brutal manner in which the prisoner, who is not a desperado, had been treated, and the ease is certainly worthy of an official investigation. The jail physician was sent for to examine the prisoner’s wounds, some of which are said to be quite serious. The new People’s Bank, of Greenville, has received its charter, granted under the first application when the capital was placed at $50,000, and will begin business regularly as soon as the handsome office in Ferguson & Miller’s new building, comerof Wasning ton street and Main, is ready for occupancy. The building will lie, when completed, de cidedly the handsomest business block in the city, and the bank rooms occupy the comer site. The vault ft now being built and the office furnishing will be completed shortly. Applications have lieen received for stock to the amount of over $125,000, but the capital will not be increased to more than SIOO,OOO at the outside, A savings bank feature will very probably be added to the regular banking business.
