Atlanta Capitol'. Ainongdlthe bright and

sional careers, none impressed the audience
at, DeGive’s Opera House Thursday even
ing, ns more full of hope than one of the
youngest, Master 7, D. Harrison, son of our
fellow-citizen, Mr. James I'. Harrison. The
quiet dignity and ease of manner, the full
appreciation of his theme, “The New

Dave Curry, kidnapping his osvr, -child,
made their escape from jail at Miliedgeville
Wednesday. Sheriff Ennis’ son gave them
their dinner, and went down stairs after
water for them leaving the keys in the door.

by running their hands through the trap
door through w hich they were fed. It is
also thought that they gained assistance
from the uegroljanitor. Dave Curry would
have been liberated in half an hour, but if
he is caught now lie will go through a regu
lar course of prosecution, and pay for the
pleasure of dodging officials for a short
while in the chain-gang.
■Suwanee was thrown into the wildest ex
citement Tuesday morning by tho sudden
appearance of a mad dog, biting and snap
ping a negro boy every step he made, and
before ho could bo extricated from his per
ilous situation the dog had divested him of
most of his apparel. Tho boy altogether
pmsfntod a ludicrous aspect. He was sent
to tho office of Dr. J. C. Harris, who made
careful examination and discovered only a
slight wound, and after applying the nec
essary antidote, pronounced it not at all
dangerous, and the boy returned home feel
ing that he had narrowly escaped death.
The dog next attacked a hog, and by this
time the town had turned out fully armed,
and the rabid animal was done up in short
order.
Several months ago a mad dog bit George
Kenmore and two of his cows in the Fif
teenth district, of Sumter county. One of
the cows went mad and dial soon after she
wus bitten. Last week the other cow was
seized with hydrophobia, and made things
lively out there for several days. Every
thing that came in her way was attacked,
ant, „he would bite like a dog as well as push
with her horns. Mr. Ches. Howell was
called in to shoot her Monday, nut, before he
got there the cow was chasing a negro, she
fell in a fit ami before she could get up the
negro split her head open with an ax. Mr.
Kenmore is very low spirited, fearing thnt
he may lie attacked with rabies at any time,
and injure some of his family who keep
watch of him all the time.
There are several solicitorships and judge
ships yet to he decided by Gov. Gordon.
Thu most important, perhaps, are the
judgeships of the county courts of Burke
and Terrell. Messrs. T. IV. Berrien and
Heinan H. Perry are tho applicants for the
Burke county judgeship, judge Perry lie
ing the present incumbent. The Terrell
county judgeship came very near being
decided some days ago by the Governor, hut
on second thought he concluded to lot the
matter remain until tho amendments pro
posed to the act establishing tho county
court of Terrell were passed by the Legisla
ture. This recommendation was made by
tho grand jury of tho comity. There is it
contest over tlie office of solicitor of the city
court of Athens, the applicants lieing Sy 1-
vauus Morris, the present incumbent, and
George C. Thomas, a lawyer of that city.
It is likely that the Governor will make the
selection within a few days.
IV. A. Jeter, representing the Brunswick
Light and Water Company before tho City
Council of Griffin, stated his proposition to
the Council, which is substantially this: The
light and water company to erect a gas and
water plant costing $85,000, the water
tower to be 100 feet riigh and located on a
high elevation. Tho company to furnish
the city with forty-five plugs and eighty
street lights. In return for this, the
city is' to give the company S4.tXK)
per year for the term of twenty-live years,
and for ten years to relieve the com
pany from the burden of .taxation and
license. Or, if the city preferred, the com
pany would erect the plants for $85,000, and
take in payment bonds of the city for thirty
years, payable at 7 per cent, interest, it
the first proposition was accepted the city
was to be at no expense whatever in main
taining the tire plugs or lighting the gas jets
and keeping them in order, the company
taking the full responsibility upon them
selves. The city charter will have to be
amended by legislative action before the
proposition is submitted to a voto of the
jvople.
Thursday, in the neighborhood of C. B.
Townsend’s turpentine still, about four miles
above Sylvania, Dan Nelson (colored) was
shot by Bcnury Sapp, another darkey. It
had been tho custom fur the negroes to con
gregate near tho still ground and gamble,
and that on this occasion several of them
had been thus engaged until Sunday morn
ing was breaking upon them. From all tho
circumstances gathered, Dan Nelson scooped
the lucre and was making off with it, and
several others attempted to take tho money
irom him, but not living able to do so Sapp
called to bis aid the little pistol. The ground
for yards around showed signs of
n lively tussle liefore the
shooting, and when parties arrived on the
ground they found Nelson lying there in an
unconscious condition. Several pieces of
money wore found in his pocket and one
dime was picked up near las head on the
ground, showing that he had been roblied
after the shooting. His bat was found sev
eral yards frnm where ho was lying within
the radius of the signs of the struggle. Nel
son Sapp, Plenty Mills and Floyd Collins,
all colored, were arrested at a house near
the scene and lodged in jail here, charged
with being implicated in tbe affair. Beaury
Sapp, who is accused of doing the shooting,
made his esoap). Notwithstanding the fact
the bullet entered Nelson’s head just above
the right eye and passed entirely through
the brain, he was still alive up to last ac
counts, with his brains oozing from tho
wound.

Last Friday, during the celebration of St.
John’s day, at Lake View, by the Masonic
order of that place, a difficulty occurred lie
tween John Hurst and Bob Tucker, both
citizens of that neighborhood. Mutual
friends interfered, and everyone thought
their differences settled. Tucker, who lui*
had tho reputation of being very overheat
ing when under tho influence of whiskr,
(considerable of which lie had unfortunately
imbibed at this time), went to his home inir
by and sent Hurst word that he would set e
with him in the future. Tucker is av y
large and powerful man, w! fe
Hurst is small and slender. La t
in the day, while Hurst was n
liis way home, and passing Tueki’s
house, he was assaulted l> y Tucker, who iis
standing in his yard, and rushed u] ui
Hurst with a drawn knife. Hurst retrain and
some distance, at the request of some lad s,
but was followed by Tucker, when he dr a
a pistol from liis pocket anil fired one si t
which struck Tucker near the navel, a c
ranged backward through his bowels, ad
from the effect of which he died at a vtrj
early hour Monday morning. Hurst was
arrested. From ali the testimony that call
bo gathered from eye witnesses to the shoot'
ing, Hurst was entirely justifiable. Whisky
was the sole cause of the unfortunate occur/
rence, which makes a widow and seven or
phans, and leaves them in destitute circum
stances.
A CALAMUS FARM.
A Quarter of an Acre Represents a
Small Fortune.
From the Griffin (Ga.) K'errs.
A short time ago Col. E. W. Hammond
was passing through the northern part of
Fayette county, on the Ncwnan road, when
he came in sight of a very marshy swamp
that was covered with a very luxuriant
growth. This excited his curiosity, as the
swamp lands were so marshy that it seemed
almost impossible that anything should
grow there.
He got out of the buggy and investigated
the growth, which proved to Iks calamus, a
most valuable drug, owing to the medicinal
properties of the roots of the plant. A short
distance further on he discovered a farm
house and driving up lie met an old gentle
man sitting in front of the dwelling reading
a copy of the Griffin Weekly News, who
seemed to have an air of contentment and
prosperity about him that at once stamped
Him as a person who kept fully informed,
and was wide awake to the interests of di
versified crops. Accosting him with a
pleasant “good morning,” tho Colonel in
quired the cause of his planting his swamp
in calamus.
“I will tell you, said he, “when I first
moved on this place it was very unhealthy;
my stock died rapidly, and family had no
health. My wife had becu in tho lmbit of
keeping calamus in the house for her own
use, and she decided to plant out a small
patch on the edge of the swamp. It liegan
to spread rapidly, and in a short time the
whole quarter of an acre of marsh was
covered with it. The cattle drank the water
from the branch on which it grew, and at
once became healthy and ceased to die. It
was then that i first began to take an inter
est in the growth of the calamus, ami to
take pains to save and dry the roots for
market, as I understood that it would sell
well. ”
