6 THREE STATES IN BRIEF. GEORGIA, FLORIDA AND SOUTH CAROLINA HAPPENINGS. A Spider’s Living Meal -Loggerbeads from the Ark-Lynching Talked of in Heard County—Jealousy Causes a Cruel Murder in Atlanta -An Econ omical Preacher. GEORGIA. Too much rain for bottom corn around Lexington. Oglethorpe county has a few cases of typhoid fever. Now and then there is a little railroad talk in Lexington. The prohibition ball has been started to rolling in Floyd county. Bob Hurtsfleld makes daily trips from Crawford to Lexington on a bicycle. The Young Men’s Christian Association of Macon celebrated their anniversary Sunday. Elberton is being stirred up over a war bet ween the Methodist and Baptist churchep. Prof. Samuel P. Snow, of Atlanta, has ac cepted the chair of music in the Romo Fe male College. Rev. .T. J. Cheney, of Union Point, has been elected School Commissioner of Ogle thorpe county. A dranken man is an exception in Talbot ton: in fact there is comparatively little ■whisky drank.

The trial of Bill Garvin, the notorious ne gro murderer, of Burke county, will begin in Waynesboro this week. A protracted meeting is in progress at, the Methodist church, Thompson, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. T. Lowe. A freight train on the Central . railroad jumped the track Friday evening near Sinai'S and delayed travel for several hours. Some of the young men of Blakely are making an effort to reorganize the Blakely Brass Band. New instruments will lie re quired before this can successfully be done. The Talbotton churches are in excellent condition spiritually. There have been good revivals and about twenty-five members added to the Methodist and Baptist churches. * James Rogers, of Sparta, gathered a por tion of his crop of honey on Wednesday— moving the frames only from the top of his hives. He realized more than fifty gallons from twenty hives. Dysentery continues to rage at Woodville, and Mrs. S. J. Mays died of it last Sunday. Mr. Thomas Richards is very sick now mid his disease is serious. There are several cases in that neighborhood. The last issue of the Franklin (Heard county) News contains some bitter strictures upon Gov. Gordon for respiting the mur derer, John W. Smith, and intimates strongly that lynching may soon terminate the respite. Mr. R. F. Dillard, one of Oglethorpe’s best farmers, has twenty acres of very fine upland corn. It is nearly waist high and is all cut by the same pattern. But this is nothing new for Mr. Dillard, for he always has his corn crib at home. A Lexington gentleman said the other day that he once knew of a gang of twenty geese being turned in on a four-acre patch of cotton where the grass was higher than <|he cotton and as thick as were it a hay field, Bd that in two hours there was not a blade ■ grass standing, yet the cotton was un- Buched. ■ A large and vicious-looking spider, nearly Be size of an egg, was killed in an Augusta Bower garden the other day, and, in a few Binufces at least fifty red ants came crawl- Bg from hts ugly maw. They seemed none Be worse for their close confinement and, Bith the aid of a little sunshine, were soon Ks lively as ever. S Scaffolding is now being erected around Bie Wrightsville Methodist church steeple, Breparatory to repainting the same, after which the church building proper will lie repainted on the outside. This work has been needed for some time, and when fin ished the church will present a more pleas ing and cheerful appearance. Considerable attention was attracted to a country wagon which stopped on an Atlanta street Saturday morning, for on the inside were two loggerhead turtles, each as large as a wash tun. They looked as if thev were old enough to have been in the ark. and their heads were as big as a man’s. They were caught on a oat line set in the Chatta hoochee river. Complaints come from all parts of Ogle thoi-pe countv of the prevalence of some un known yet fatal malady among stock and cattle. Just how it affects them has uot been ascertained. Sheriff Maxwell and Mr. ■William Gottheimer, in Lexington, lost a mule and a cow respectively on Friday night last. The disease, whatever it is, does its work suddenly. A peculiar kind of insect is playing havoc with the grapes near Lexington. The bunches seem literally alive witl\ them. They are black and small as mites, and un the microscope have the form of lice. They seem to cling tenaciously U) the young grape and feed on its vitality. Tlieso’ posts will ruin the grape crop unless some way is found to destroy them. A guano factory in Americus is now au established fact. All the stock has been taken and the location bought and tempo rary officers elected: John M. Green, Presi dent; H. C. Bagley, Secretary and Treasurer; R. N. Sams, Manager; Crawford Wheat ley, Superintendent; Directors, J. M. Green, Bamuel Ives, J. W. 'Wheatley and U. B. Hairuld. The contract for * the buildings has been let to E. Van Winkle & Cos., of Atlanta. The capacity of the works will be 4,000 tons, to be increased as demands muy require. A preacher somewhero in North Georgia ■worth $12,000, says the Macon AVtts, per mits his mother to live in the poor house. The church that would fellowship such a man, the audience that would listen to such a preacher, and the society that would toler ate him, deserves to be turned over to the tender mercies of the Sandwich cannibals; while the parson himself ought to be sta tioned in the centre of a ten-acre field, cov ered knee -deep in powder and a red-liot bar of iron placea in his hands with the right, to bold it or drop it, whichever he preferred. A mule with an artificial throat, is the latest thing in mules in Macon. A valuable animal at Holman’s stables was affleted with a disease similar to laryngitis. \V. C. Timborlake proposed to doctor him and did so, and saved the mule’s life. Finding that it would soon be impossible for the animal to breathe through his windpipe, a portion of the pipe was removed anil a silver tube was inserted, and now the mule breathes freely. It was a delicate ami skillful opera tion. It now remains hi he mi whether the mule can whinny his thunks to Mr. Tiinbcrlake for saving his life. The relations between the Atlanta city government and the Atlanta Gas Light Conqiany, known now us the old company, are destined in the near future to play a more or less important part in that city's I less. The history of this business is a J remarkable. Jt is u very incompro ible thing, looking at it from a business tof vice , that the city of Atlanta, one lie largest stockholder* in the Gas Light pany, perhaps the largest, owning fora time $90,000 of the stack, was never esentod on the directory of the company, had nothing to do with the niauagc t of its affairs# ihuntil, on tile Brunswick and Western oud, has gained quite a reputation for and knife practice. There has l>oo;i ast a dozen men killed there in the last years. Only last .Saturday night one was killed and three wounded. It •eems there are a number of turpentine farms in that section, and the hands meet at Nahunta and form good material for sharpers, who cheat them out of their earn ings and • mm’*#, m toe aiiowarSTsw law live in a remote part of the county— Jesup, or thereabouts. Very few arrests are made owing to this fact. " These sharp ers do not live at Nahuuta, but come there on pay days. Sunday morning a male child was born to a negro girl, by name Tish Sanders, who lives in Jonesboro, a small suburban vil tage near Greensboro, composed of negro shanties. The mother, not relishing the ad vent of an heir, attempted to make way with it. A negro woman living on an ad joining lot to the one where the mother lives, was attracted In' faint cries of an in fant. Upon investigation she found a child only a few hours old lying in a brier patch at the rear of a small out-house, its laxly horribly- tom and bruised, and its face and hands scratched in various places. The mother of the child, who cooks for a white family in this place, went to her work as usual this morning a few hours after its birth. She had just finished cooking breakfast when the Mar shal paid her a visit. She returned to her infant and acknowledged herself to be its mother. Up to this hour the child bids fair to survive tne horrible treatment of its in human mother. Ellijay Courier : The registered distillery of Martin V. Teen, of this county, on Clear creek, was destroyed by fire last Thursday morning. The fire was discovered by the family, and on hastening to it found the west end falling in. Nothing was saved from the distillery. A hard fight, prevented a warehouse near by from burning, though the fire was so hot the rosin oozed out of the door and weather-boarding, and only the constant application of water prevented its destruction. Had the fire caught this house and a mill near by. he would have sustained a loss of $3,000, He says it was the work of an incendiaay. The still house was first fired at the end where the beer tubs stood and where the lost part of the still was, and could have caught only by being set on fire, lie says he knows some of the parties who perpe trated the deed, and we understand he has offered a reward of $l5O for the apprehen sion of all the guilty parties. Two largo stills, a gauger’s rod, 1,500 gallons of boor, and nil the appurtenance of the distillery were destroyed. He will rebuild on the site of the old one. Tho Lincoln Rifles, a colored military company of Atlanta, and several hundred of their friends went on an excursion to Rosedalo Friday. In tho tournament Lieut. Hpriggs and a bright mulatto barber, of Gainesville, named Rogers, were tho rivals for the first prize. The barber woq it, and selected to crown as queen a handsome young octoroon named Julia Milling. Hpriggs was in love with the same woman, and swore that if Rogers attempted to crown her there would be murder clone. When the company was drawn up for the corona tion ceremony it was noticed that Spriggs was absent from the hue. The girl came forward to receive her crown dressed in white, with her long hair streaming down her back, and wearing a bunch of roses in her bosom. Rogers was about to place the crown on her head when she reeled and fell as the sharp crack of a rifle rang through the woods. She was lying pros trate upon the platform and blood was oozing out of a wound in her breast just where the bouquet of flowers had been pinned. She uttered not one word and ex pired in a few minutes. Tho crowd was terrified. Some of the members knew of Spriggs’ threats and at once knew he was the murderer. They turned in the direction of the thicket, in which he must have been concealed, and he was seen mounted on a white horse riding at a furious speed down the public road. It was not many minutes before a dozen mounted men were in hot pursuit. They followed him for eight miles and filially abandoned the chase. This morning several countrymen discovered a dead white horse in the road and it was identified as the one the fugitive murderer had ridden. The young woman was buried Saturday, dressed as she was when she stood to receive the crown. The tragedwhas pro duces! a great sensation among the colored people of Coweta county, and should opriggs be caught they could not be pre vented from lynching him. FLORIDA.
