Nc remedy has yet been found to prevent its spread. There is nothing like politeness on all oc casions. Politeness is natural with some men. and it may be acquired and become a habit with anyone who will try.

A passenger on the down train from At lanta Friday morning reports anot her case of the unwonted fascination of the first class car for passengers of dusky hue.

Strange, of Oglethorpe, has in vented a novel, as well as a very useful, machine for the purpose of loading brass or paper shells. The machine consists of a box containing twenty-four holes which are, exactly the same depth ax ttie length of a shell. Empty shells are inserted in these holes. The machine can lie mado with any number of holes, though the model contains only twenty four. The machine is placed with tho cap end of the shell down. Next a tray containing an equal number of holes as the machine and fits over them perfectly, and is provided with a brass slide. Tlie holes in tho tray are the right size fora charge cither of powder or shot. The slide is pulled out and the powder for twenty-four shells is put in in an instant. By the same process the shells are loaded with shot. He can load 100 shells in fifteen minutes, and can load as fast as three men can fire. Five hundred shells can ho loaded 0 one hour. A tmtent lias lieen applied for. It is made almost entirely of wood and can bo sold lor 75 cents. The Bartow county grand jury of last week created quite a little sensation when it was announced that, it found a true bill against the Rev. Mr. Allen, who lives near Adairsvillu, charging him with tho crime of incest. Considering the heretofore high standing and character of the accused in the community in which ho lives, and his robi“s as a minister, it has caused no little sensation. Public opinion, however, is much divided as to his guilt. Many of the most prominent members of his own church yet have confidence in him and stoutly protest his innocence, while others condemn him severely and express no doubt as to his guilt. The witnesses against him they claim to be of unquestioned verac ity, and their testimony is direct and posi five. <)n the other hand, it is declared to be a piece of blackmail, and uj>on the trial of the case that fact will be established, and tho fair name and reputation of the de fendant will be cleared of this stain, made by tiio charge of this most shocking and heinous offense. Avery sad case of drowning occurred on J. H. Dodds’ place, on Cedar Creek, two miles below Cedartown, last Saturday even ing. Blanton Johnson is a. tenant on the place and had a boy, Mounsford, 13 years of age, who was wont to accompany him to the creek aud go in bathing with him. On Saturday evening, Mr. Johnson being away, Mike, a negro Ixiy about iiis own age, came by from Mr. Dodds’, where lie works about the hi>use,forMouusford to aceon ijkny him to the creek, but his mother forbade him going, die went to work with a hoe near tho Irfruse, but in a little while, in disobedi ence of his mother's orders, joined the ne fro, and tho two went to Irathe. The negro oy tells tho story'of what occurred. He him self had left the creek and put his clothes on, but Mounsfonl insisted on going a little lower down the creek and jumping from a huge rock on tho bank. The negro re monstrated, saying it was deep, but to no purpose, as the boy insisted otherwise and went ahead. He was soon in water away over his head, uml being unable to swim, struggled for a little while and sank several times. The negro, lioing unable to swim, could do nothing, but swing some boys coming in an ore wagon, colled to them, but they could neither swim, and the lioy sank Ills last time before their eyes. Friday a gentleman well-known in Atlan ta called at police headquarters and secur ing an audience with Capt. Criin informed him that a young lady (n relative of his, re siding on Cooper street) had been grossly insulted. The gentleman then requested tho Captain to investigate the matter. At the lady's home Capt. Crim was shown a letter winch had been handed to her by a negro woman. The letter was quite offensive, nnd when the negro woman delivered it sho in formed the Indy that she would call for nn answer. Tliero was no tiiuue to the note, and nothing by wliieli it eould lie traced appeared. Capt. Crim knew of but one way to trace the note to its au thor, and alter considerable persuasion he induced tile lady to answer it. Th. answer was favorable, and Friday night at the hour suggested a hack was stopped near the Indy's home. She was not tliero to meet the hack, but ( 'apt. Crim and Detective Reeve* were. In the hack was u driver and a negro man. Capt. Crim h*ik the man from the hack and liegan questioning him. Ho udmltted that he laid given till' note to the negro woman, and claimed that it was given him by Joe Berry. The negro told what seemed to be ti straight story, one that eireiinistaiuvs sus tained. Capt. Crim then lioguti a search for Berry, and, finding him, conducted him to police headquarters, where he was locked up. Berry will lie arraigned in the Police Court, ana the letter will be used os cvmeneo ugaiust him. The Bartow county grand jury last week got after the boomers with a sharp stick. Tjiero was quite a i!isorc|iancy liclweeii the figures of some property that were held at ►mul the figures given in to the tux ri>oeiver. The grand jury was alter these discrepan cies and from the way they improved prop erty, or at least tho price of it. was enough to dazzle the eyes of the most energetic comer lot speculator. Prices were "Inillod,” so to speak. Lots of land, known to liuvo concealed Ixmeatli its unpretentious loiking stones uul rubbish, princely manganese banks, and given in by the owner at a figure ulmut w hat the rubbish would bring, were sized tip in u mineral point, of view and assessed accordingly. People, next to lieating a railroad, had rather lioat their own native State and county than anybody. A few mine owners throughout the county will Im somewhat surprised at the amount of tax tie _v will have to pay ti*L fuli. Vim muu who owns a THK MORM>U NKYVS: MjNDAY. JULY 24, 1887. lot that he bought a few months ago for $l2O. refused $8,060 for the mineral right on it alone. Ho gave this valuable piece of property in at the price he gave for it $l2O, hut the grand jury changed it considerably. In their presentments the jury complains that a great many have given in their tax too low and presented several parties en gaging in such business. Several members of the jury were in favor of asking the judge for the appointment of tax assessors for the county, and no doubt this question will lie considerably agitated in tho near future. In Banks county the changing of the dis trict lines between Bnshville and Wilmot district, was followed by a similar petition from two of the citizens of Berlin distict, one of Maysville and one of Homer, pray ing that a certain lxmHilary of Berlin lx* added to Bnshville; whereupon the Ordi nary ap|minted a commissioner to locate the lines, which was done, the whole thing be ing managed so quietly that scarcely a citi izen of the district knew anything about the matter, outside of the few individuals connected with it. Many of the strong est friends of Judge Hill and ad vocates of stock law openly con demn his official conduct in this matter. A meeting of about twenty of the citizens of Berlin district was held on Monday in Esquire Telford’* office. They organized by electing u chairman and secre tary, and after discussing tho matter for some time, decided to draw up a strong pe tition, requestiifg the Ordinary to restore tho district to its original boundaries. After seeking legal counsel, it was decided to inquire if his honor would entertain such petition. It was stated that he declined to entertain a petition unless signed by a majority of those included in tho “cut-off.” They then resolved them selves into an indignation meeting, and passed resolutions severely reflecting upon I he ()rdinary’s official action, and decided to disregard the whole proceeding by continu ing to turn Out stock, as heretofore. An other meeting was railed to take place on Thursday, at Mize’s school house, for further consideration of the matter. The district, it is claimed, is cut nearly in two in tw< i places, the precinct and one of the justice’s cut off, and tiie shape made soawkward as to render it entirely unfit to remain intact any longer as a militia district.

The Reporter repre sentative immediately set out. for the scene of the difficulty and found tho doors of both factories closed and the eigarmakers walk ing around at their ease and imbibing fre quently. They appeared in tho best of lmmor and no trouble was anticipated. On close investigation we found tlie trouble was caused by a differ ence in wages, some of tho markers reeeiv ing more than others. Tuesday morning a committee of the strikers waited on the heads of tho factories and presen toil a sched ule of prices which they required, should be adopted. Mr. Over refused, stating that he coulil not afford it, whoreupon tiny pro claimed the strike and left. Wednesday morning Air, Goer's men came to him to obtain a settlement for their work or.
