6 SIA AND FLORIDA. SBW3. cs* :::s two states told IS PARAGRAPHS. An By* Witness Describes a Fight Be tween Two Snakes -The Coining Reunion of the Survivors of the Forty-second Regiment Importance of the Farmers Convention Soon to Meet at Atlanta. GEORGIA. Disinfectants are to be scattered over Sandersville. The Griffin District Conference convenes in Barnesville on July 27. There is a preat (leal of timber being rafted at Dublin awaiting for a rise in the river. Ebenezer College, Cochran, enrolled about 100 pupils for the first term, just closed. J. P. Lairsey, of Pulaski couDty, has ex hibited a tomato weighing one and one quarter pounds. J. T. Geiger, of Alt>alia, has been award ed the contract to Imi Id the new Masonic lodge at IrwinviUe. There is to be a naval stores convention held in Brunswick some timo during tho latter part of the month. The increase in State and county taxable property in Griffin district of Spalding county the past year is $73,423. There arc 108 cotton mills in the South. Georgia heads the list with 30, Tennessee comes next with 27 and Alabama 20. On Lawrence street. Marietta, them are five wells of water near each other one Eure freestone, one iron, two alum and one mestone. A United States prisoneer named Dooley, out on yard bond, at Marietta, took his de parture last Monday without leave from the jail at this place. lie lives in Habersham county. At Palmetto Tuesday Charlie Phillips, the negro whom Joe White shot about ten days ago, died. An effort will be mode to get the Governor to offer a reward for White, as he is an extremely 1 Kid character and likely to do other mischief at any time. The negro trirl that White shot at the same time is getting well. C'apt. James G. Hughes, Superintendent of the National Cemetery at Marietta, has been transferred to the National Cemetery at Memphis, Tenn., and will leave this week to take charge. It is the custom to make a change every four years, but owing to a friend’s favors he has been kept at this place ever since the cemetery was established. On Wednesday the People’s National Bank, of this city, declared a semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent, on the capital stock, dividend they carried $2,500 over to the sur plus funds, still leaving S2,IKK) ns undivided profits. After paying all expenses, 16 r>er cent, net profit is a very fine six months’ Work. The annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars will convene in Augusta on July 26. Among those who have been invited anil are ex pected to attend in addition to the Grand Chief Templar, the Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, are Gov. Colquitt, Dr. Felton, Hon. J. J. Hickman and W. B. Hill. The session will probably occupy two days. Americus Recorder: Those of our citi zens who planted German millet this sum mer after harvesting their oat crops struck it right. The seasons have been very favor able for millet, the recent rains causing it to grow rapidly, and the many fields of it about town are looking very "fine. This is one of the best of the small crops that grow here, and nothing is relished more by stock. W niton county went wet Wednesday by a large majority. The negroes voted almost solidly for liquor. There have txvn no re tail saloons in the county for over two years —only about half a dozen places in the county where liquor is sold by the gallon. A great many men who oppose tho sale of liquor are satisfied to lot it be sold by the gallon. This is the explanation of the pro hibition defeat. At Ellaville Wednesday Judge Fort con vened the Superior Court to try criminal cases. Tho noted cast' of the State vs. Charles Blackman, who is charged with the offense of murder, was called and both par ties announced ready. Notwithstanding this case lias been twice tried, a jury was impaneled by 4 o’clock. Blackman is charged with tho murder of 8. J. Tondeo, on Nov. 6, 1885. M. A. Wiggins, a railroad man, started from Albany for Atlanta a few days ago, having in charge Janies Jenkins, a negro fugitive from the penitentiary, for whoso capture a reward of SIOO was" offered. As yet nothing lias been hoard of Wigging or Jenkins at the office of the principal keeper of the penitentiary. It is feared that the prisoner may have escaped and that Wig gins may have been murdered. Americus Recorder: As yet we have not, heard of the appearance of' the caterpillar anywhere within this or the surrounding counties, and it is to lie hop,-, I that the fanners will not be afflicted by these pests at all this year. Even should they np|>ear now it would be at least six weeks before thejr would lie large enough to do any ma terial damage and by that time a large crop will have already matured, George Harry Sylvia, a machinist, work ing at Briestiick’s foundry at Brunswick, had his eve knocked out a few days ago. He was dressing a drill on the anvil when he hit it an unfortunate blow that sent it upward with a whirling motion. The sharp end struck him just underneath the eye, and jerked that organ entirely from the socket. It was replaced in p wition by Dr. Tucker In the hope that it might again assume its functions. Marietta Journal: During the rainy spell last week a Oobb county farmer remarked that “all the cotton blooms rained on lx: tween blooming and the time the blooms closes up iu the afternoon would drop off when they fruited into Ik>lls.’’ The reason he gave wa- that "the bloom, possess**, u kind of glue that causes it to adhere so closely to the boll that it cannot shed said bloom, con sequently it decays and sheds off.’’ 11,. says those blooms with the cup turned down do not, catch the rain, anil therefore doesn’t drop off. Mi's. J. F. Hollis, of Buena Vista, was on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. E. Taylor, In Lee county, last w* k. One day while then* during a rain she was standing in the door observing the clouds, a dog was lying asleep on the veranda near her feet, when a sudden flash of lightning seemed to envelope her in aflame. As it passed away the dog was found quivering in the throes of death, while tho lady wns unharmed, uot even sus taining a severe shock, but she experienced a severe fright after comprehending her miraculous escape. Oil July 22 the survivors of the Forty second Georgia regiment will hold their re union ut Grant Bark, Atlanta. Gov. Gor don lias been asked to make tin address, and will probably accept the invitation. Several Other speakers will be present One feature of tlie day's programme will lie the presenta tion of eight beautiful pictures to the corps The pictures represent the scenes of the Imt tie of Atlanta, and were given to the regi ment by the Rev. Ham Hinall. At present these pictures ornament the wuils of the Hu perior Court room. H. C. Bagley, President of the Americus Investment Company, went down to Do- Soto, on tlie A., P. and L. road, Wednesday to see lmw matters were progressing out that way. The company are having two fifty horse power engines for saw mills built In Ma<sin, one of which will be placed at Def Soto and the other at the Blown place, in Dooly county. A large pluiiing mill will also bo erected at DeSoto, and lumber of any desired size sawed and dressed. The company will also put up extensive brick works in Dooly, anil will no don lit bo able to supply the demand for brick for Amcri cus and the surrounding towns as well. Jacob Russell of Mscon, is dying. In 1860 Russell and Peter Blenton started the flint Pgu- boor brewery in Georgia. Rus | sell put a lot of money into it. and the old I buildings and cellaj-s -Aill remain out on VineVill, branch, near Macon, in a dilap idated condition. The firm secured a fore man from tin- West, who ruined their brer, and the concern imrsted, leaving Russell with nothing but a little property on Cotton avenue. For a long time he- was with L. IV. Rasdul. and w hen the Aurora beer first appeared at Macon Russel! took the agency. Finally ho removed, iu 1880, back to tlio Cotton avenue place, and opened a grocery store, where ho lias made money. A lady on Pine street, Macon, linked some cake the other day for on evening party. When the party conic off it was noticed that tlie guests let the cake severely alone. In vain did the hostess prevail upon them to partake of tho cake. She intimated that she made it herself, and to slight it would lie to slight her. The guests did not take the hint, and the cake went untouched. Deter mined that tlie rake should not go liegging. she concluded to oat some of it herself, anil then she discovered the cause of the trouble. It tasted wrong, and after investigation she found thnt instead of flavoring it with vanilla she had used the wrong bottle, and dosed it heavily with Bryant’s cholera remedy. At Cochran, a few days ago, R. E. Nichols and J. H. Marcliman, both citizens of that place, quarreled alxrnt a business matter and words brought on blows. Nichols struck Marchman over the head with a heavy stick, fracturing the skull, and from the effects of which he died in the afternoon of the same (lay, about 4 o’clock. There seems to have been no intention on the part of Nichols to do Marchman serious Injury. They had both been warm friends up to a few mo ments before the blow was struck. March man was the Constable of bis district, and leaves a large ami helpless family. Nichols is an ex-Mayor of the town, and a member of the present Board of Aldermen. We learn that a verdict of involuntary man slaughter was rendered by the Coroner’s jury. An employe of the Dartmouth factory, at Augusta, stated Wednesday that a number of the hands appeared in the office of Supt. Maxwell Wednesday morning, and made complaint of continued bud treatment at the hands of head overseer Murray. Among the delegation, so the report went, wore sev eral of the female operatives, who were prominent in the dissatisfaction. Mr. Max well then gave the matter thorough investi gation, after which he discharged Overseer Murray and promoted Mr. George Lynch to the position. Last night a reporter called on Supt. Maxwell, and after relating the above, inquired if it was correct. He re plied that it was not, and stated further that it was Mr. Murray who was dissatisfied with his position. He had asked to be relieved, in order to return to his home in Philadel phia, and his request was granted. This, Mr. Maxwell said, was the true state of affairs. At Athens Bob Reaves still lingers in pain, but his chances for life are slightly better. Wednesday morning the ball was removed, and proved to be a 38-calibre. It was not so near the skin as was at first sup posed. The operation was a very painful one and Mr. Heaves seemed to surfer a great deal during its performance. He soon ral lied, however, and fell into another slumber which was comparatively tranquil. Dr. Benedict says that an investigation of liver wounds shows that <l4 per cent, die, which gives Mr. Reaves about 3C> per cent, to sur vive. Mr. Reaves lias a strong constitu tion to sustain him. He is in perfect health, and has every care that medical skill and kind friends can bestow. Tuesday night parties were started out in every direction in search of Mr. Murray. He has not been found, but his family and friends say be will be produced at a proper time for com mitment trial. Stretched out upon the hard floor of the depot at Macon Wednesday lay a negro man 0 feet 5 inches tall, his hands being hand cuffed. The unfortunate person was Leon ard Johnson, and his home is in Berrien county. He was being carried to the State lunatic asylum at Milledgeville, and was in charge of Sheriff J. R. MeCranie, of that county. Johnson has been suffering for years with a tenable sore on his leg, and has not walked u step for years, until one month ago, when ho lost his mind. He arose one night and walked seven miles—a raving, desperate, dangerous maniac. When cap tured he had torn his clothing from his body und was a frightful sight. In a moment, almost, his strength was changed from that of a weak, helpless mail to that of a lion. His hands had to be kept tied to prevent him from disrobing himself. The negro had the wildest and most ferocious look about him imaginable, ami during his stay nt the depot ho bad to be constantly watched like some captive beast of prey. The Farmers’ Convention, to meet in At lanta on Aug. 1(1, will he one of the largest and most representative b<xlies of men that have over assembled in the South. Intelli gent und well-informed menengugod in agri cultural pursuits from the Southern States, in many instances, doubtless, uccompanied by the latlies of their families, will gather in Atlanta at that time. The Governors and Commissioners of Agriculture of the several States have exorcised great care in select ing delegates. Bona fide farmers have been appointed, not mere theorists, who in the retirement uffordod by a well stockist library write articles upon agricul ture, but men engaged in the actual culti vation of the soil, who personally direct and superintend their planting interests. The object of the convention is toullowan inter - change of views and ideas, and to see if out of the general discussion that will take place, some sensible, well matured plan, looking toward the amelioration of the planting interests, cannot be devised. The impression is well nigh universal that the farmers of the South, except in rare cases, are not doing as well as they ought to do, and the mnin and primary object of the convention looks toward the improvement of the farmer’s oondition. The term of the United States court that has just closed at Macon was rather phe nomenal in the amount of business done. There were on the civil docket, in common law, equity and scire facias, just eighty-two cases at the beginning of the term. Of those, twenty-four common law, eleven equity and t wo scire facias cases were dis posed of, leaving forty-five still pend ing. In the Circuit Court eighteen criminal cases were tried, of which eight were convictions. In the district branch of the court twenty-six criminal cases wore tried, and twelve convictions resulted, making of both courts a jioroontage of 5-11 convictions, or very nearly half. In the two courts there are twenty-nine cases still [-siding The jail was cleared of ull prisoners save those who worecommitted there as a part or the whole of their punish ment. Court met at !> n. m., and closed übout 1 p. m., and the session lasted twenty nine days. Adding together civil and criminal cases, we have u total of 155 cam's called, of which eighty-one, over half, were disposed of. The trial of those eighty -one cases in twenty-nine days, lacked only six cases of averaging three |>er diem, and some of them were long, knotty, issues that required two or three days to be tried. This work is phenomenal, and shows that the officers of the court, from Judge Bpoer down to the janitor, were not idle. Griffin .\>i rs: Col. E. AT. Hammond was met by n .Vcic.s reporter, to whom he gave tlie following in regard to a snake fight when asked if he knew any news: “Well, sir, yes, 1 saw two snakes'have a light to day. It was a most interesting engagement —indeed it was. They first approached each other, and then would ret oat, and then they would crawl around each other very cautiously as if watching to seize any advantage that might offer. Thus they manceuvemi, gradually coming closer and closer to om'li other, each seeming Luton getting at the i ear of his antagonist, going round and 'round. The circle gradually grew smaller and smaller and the distance between the snakes decreased. They were tolerably well matched, both L'lng about live feet in length. Ax they went around one seeming to pursue the other their sjieed increased as the circuit grew less until at last the head of each was uiuw.it ui read) of tku uul of the other uuU THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1887. vie J versa. At this juncture they were traveling with the speed of rnoe horses and the great elimux was nt hand. Then each seized the other by the tail, and then'such another twist and whirl and tumble and squabble you never saw until they seemed to tiru down, but still they were clenched in the fatal embrace and grew almost still — then I discovered that they were swallow ing eacli other and so continued until both were completely swallowed and nothing left of either snake.” FLORIDA. The largest lady iu Palatka weighs 331 pounds. Pnlat ka reports that travel has been quite fair for tho past day or two. Charlotte Harbor last week (Sunday) bad its first wedding for fourteen years. At DeLand six trains now arrive and de part daily over the DeLand railroad. The citizens of DeLand have subscribed SSOO toward putting the Sub-Tropical Ex position on its feet. The work of getting out the timbers for the railroad bridge at Palatka is being pushed rapidly forward. An engine for a very large saw mill was shipped over the St. Johns and Halifax railroad to Daytona Wednesday. George L. Fox, a well-known river postal clerk, and one of tlie oldest men in the pos tal service in Florida, has resigned. A negro named Alex Daniels died at the calaboose at Orlando, Tuesday, of delirium tremens. He was buried at the expense of the city. Is the Methodist church steeple perpen dicular or docs it lean a little to the south west? is n question attracting some attention at Orlando. The Presbyterian church at Waldo will bo dedicated Hunday, July 24. The sermon will lie preached by Rev. James Mitchell, the former pastor. The plastering of the Kuhl-DeLaney anrl Hirer-Me Elroy blocks, at Orlando, is nearly completed, and both buildings will soon bo ready for occupancy. There is a movement on foot among some of the clerks of Orinndo to petition for the early closing of business bouses during a part of tlie hot season. Tho tobacco crops of Jefferson county arc excellent, and if tho farmers are careful in the curing process, they will realize remu nerating prices for the leaf. Last Monday Cant. Pierce, the contractor who is building the Kedney block, at Or lando, was t he recipient of a fine meerschaum pipe, presented by his employes. The spring term of the Circuit Court at Orlando closed Friday morning. Tlie docket was an unusually heavy one, the cases numbering several hundred. The fig crop around Lloyd has been greatly damaged by tlie continued rainy weather. Field crops are looking fine in this section, particularly that of corn. Miss Lula Tucker, of Sanford, for many years principal of the Jacksonville Gram mar School, has resigned her position and will remain at home with her parents. At Fernandina tlie Republicans have nominated Samuel Petty (colored) for Mayor and Samuel L. Dennette for Tax Collector, to be voted for at the municipal election to day. Cooper, the murderer of two men on one of tlie Florida keys last winter, now in jail at Key West awaiting execution on July 30, has confessed the killing, but pleads self-de fense. The orange trees in various parts of Or lando continue to bloom, and the air in some places is heavy with perfume. The large grove of Mr. C. A. Boone is now in full bloom. Tlie new building which Messrs. Motley and Patrick are having erected at Orlando, between the store of Sohntz Bros, and the Charleston Hotel, will be 36x40 feet, of brick and one story high. The Gainesville City and Suburban Street Rai 1 way Company has, to a very great ex tent, suspended work, especially on that part of their line that will be inside the corjxira rate limits of Gainesville. J. O. T. Crawford, the new Receiver of tho United States lanul Office, has arrived at Gainesville. He haR not yet received his commission, but expects it in a few days, when liis office will be in working order. The artesian well at DeLand has reached a depth of 310 feet. At that depth a stream of sulphur water was struck. It did not rise to the surface, however. The well will probably have to go down 200 feet deeper. Quite a number of Hart’s Tardiff oranges have lieen exposed for sale at some of the DeLand stores during the past few days. Although many of them are not fully rijie. they are selling rapidly for 2)cents each. The large wooden cistern being built bv Mayor Goodrich in tho roar of his brick block at DeLand for fire protection is nearly completed. He is going to purchase a hand fire engine and organize a little department of his own. A meeting of the stockholders of the Palatka National Bank will be held at the office of 8. J. Kennerly, the receiver, at Palatka, on Monday, July 15, for the pur pose of electing an agent to whom the assets of tho bank wifi be transferred. Mesa's. H. Ruge A" Son have purchased two and a half lots adjoining the canning factory at Apalachicola; consideration SI,OOO. Coombs & Cos. have purchased from Hon. W. T. Orman the present site on which their mill is located; consideration $2,000. Largo quantities of LoConto pears are being shipped to tho Northern markets through Monticello. E. B. Bailey has been agreeably surprised. Ho expected to gather from his grove about seventy-five crates, but tlie trees will yield probably 250 crates. DeLand’s population is somewhat scat tered nt present. Beside tlie large number nt the seaside, they have citizens in Georgia, i Alabama, Tennessee, New York, Nebraska. Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Canada, England mid, in fact, iu almost every country on the globe. J. H, Ahern, the former agent of the South Florida railroad nt Tampa, is in San ford for a day or so. From there he goes to New York city, where he will establish an office, he having received the appointment to the position of traveling agent of the Plant system. H. J. Lilljibjorn, of Forest City, who left last Marcli fora visit to his home in Upsa, Sweden, returned u short time ago. He got as far its New York, when he was robbed, and, much to his disappointment, his visit to bis Scandinavian homo had to be indefi nitely postponed. A negrc living between Spring Garden and Bert'sfoi'd succeeded iu robbing one of liis /companions a few days ago of S7O. When parties attempted to stop him he flivd uis ui them. Deputy Sheriff Stcvonsou went in pursuit, but the negro had emi grated to pastures new. In Jefferson county crops of all kinds are fine. Avery large crop of oats lias lieen harvested, corn will give an extraordinary yield, and cotton bids fair to meet the most sanguine expectations of our planters. There is no cvi lence of caterpillar, and the shedding of the fruit is not more than usual. At Bloomfield many orange trees are now in full bloom. Figs arc ripe, and there is a good crop. The fruit is large and of a good quality. Figs are a paying crop. They sell here at 10c, per quart, or $3 per bushel. Peaches are about all gathered here, except some fair Northern varieties. Pears are ripe. All the growing crops and trees are looking well and premise good returns. At Monticello n colored man Saturday night attempted to enter tho storehouse (if Perkins A Turnbull, and was frustrated by some of tiie young men of tlie town who were on tin- alert, Messrs. Lyman, Arthur Hinikins and Fred B. Fiides were sitting iu front of Messrs. Turner’s block on Dogwood street, and the noise made by the wnuld !' burglar attracted their attention. Tliev cautiously advanced to the front of the storehouse on Jefferson street, where he was trying to unlock the store with a pocket-knife. Discovering tho young men I lie scoundrel lied, and was tired at by Fred B. Tildes, but to offevtoU Ids escape, and it is possible he was identified. The lock of tlie door was then examined, and it was discov ered that the blade of the criminal’s knife had broken off and remained in tho lock. Orlando Sentinel: Our neighbor to the south of us complain that the South Florida railroud did not adhere to their advertised agreement to carry passengers on the Fourth for lc. per mile. The rate from Bartow to Sanford and return was $1 00, when it should have been $1 70. It was therefore cheaper to buy a ticket to Or lando, the price of which was $1 30, and then purchase one for Sanford for 45c., thus making the round trip from Bartow to Sanford cost $1 75. Commenting on these facts the Bartow Informant takes occasion to compliment our obliging ticket agent as follows: There is one more point in ques tion, and one that caused considerable an noyance, viz: The agent at Bartow would not attempt to make change for any one. For instance, if one guve huh $2 for a ticket to Sanford (the fare being $1 90 as charged by the agent) lie would not give back 10c. in change as he should have done, but simply say, “I can’t make change.” We saw him refuse to give change in this way to more than one, and every one applying for a ticket was annoyed in some way by the ticket agent. Now, at Orlando, when we purchased our ticket, the gentlemanly agent there made change for us without a word, notwithstanding he had fifty times the crowd around iiis window as did the agent at Bartow, We learn that there were over 1,100 tickets sold in Orlando on that day.
